Tithing is a biblical mandate that applies to Christians and involves giving 10 percent of one's income to the church. Traditionally, when a congregant tithes to his church, the money goes toward various ministries within the church, paying the pastor and paying for basic church expenses, such as the electric bill and landscaping. If you are a Christian who seeks to tithe, but you have no home church, you may be confused about how you can go about fulfilling this obligation.
Pray for guidance. If you feel led to tithe, then praying can guide you where to send your offering, even if you have no home church.
Visit churches in your area and tithe at a different church each week. In this way, you can benefit many local churches. The drawback to doing this is that you may not know, and will not have any input about, how church funds are allocated.
Donate to specific ministries that are important to you. If you have a heart to help the homeless, for example, tithe to a local homeless shelter. Simply write a check each week or month and drop it off or mail it, or volunteer to help the ministry and bring your tithe at that time.
Send your tithe to online or television ministries. If there is a specific ministry that has helped you, you can financially support it, allowing it to help others.
Continue looking for a home church while you are tithing to the ministry that you have chosen. Once you find a home church, switch to tithing at that church.

[Comment] The black box warning on philanthrocapitalism
On Sept 21, 2016, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced plans to invest US$3 billion in a mission to "cure, prevent or manage all diseases" by 2100, part of an earlier promise to donate 99% of their stock in Facebook, a company Zuckerberg founded. It is the latest example in a growing number of pledges by billionaires to give away their wealth for social causes rather than pass it down to descendants. On the face of it, the pledge by Zuckerberg and Chan is generous, worthy, and inspired.

I must say, one of the major perks about living on the East Coast is how easily (and affordably) we can travel to different cities. This weekend, Jeff and I hopped on the Megabus to visit his brother, Bob and Heather in Philadelphia. I had traveled there once with Jeff, but merely for a lunch-date with Jon. We stayed three nights and had a great time. Although Jeff and I have a heart for the city of Detroit, Bob and Heather tried to convince us that God wanted us in Philly :) Philly has a lot of economic (or lack thereof) similarities with Detroit - although it is obvious Detroit is in a far worse state. Philadelphia is more aesthetically pleasing compared to Detroit - there are beautiful parks (with hills and trails) dispersed amongst the city.
Jon works for Whole Foods, so we obviously enjoyed a delicious meal there. Jon also loves to cook - even though I'm not a breakfast food kind of gal, I couldn't resist his potato, sausage and egg feasts in the morning. I also had a Philly Cheesesteak for the first time (really, it's a man sandwich - meat and cheese.) Heather and Bob took us on a tour of the city when Jon was working - within city limits there are ghettos, parks, suburban homes and high-end condominiums. Very interesting...
(I realized as I wrote the last paragraph that all but one of my Philly experiences circled around food...hmmm)
My absolute favorite part about visiting Philly was......Godfrey and Francis (in the pictures below.) Godfrey and Francis are Bob and Heather's goldendoodles. I am in love. We took them to the park one day, and I spent several hours cuddling with them while the guys played videogames (I thought the 'videogame' phase ended when you got married?)
Jeff and I were really grateful for a good time, with good food and remarkable people in Philly.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been dealing with some major anxiety. Spiritual attack? Maybe... I have been having such a hard time setting emotional boundaries...I am in constant fear of a relapse (not of my own, but my dads.) I was stressing out about finding a job (which the Lord provided..) I am freaked out about not getting all of my hours for graduation.... it's exhausting. Also, never in my life have I had a problem with caffeine. Now, after I drink caffeine or have chocolate my heart races which keeps me up at night...THEN a lack of sleep stresses me out. It's an endless cycle.
To learn more about emotional boundaries, I've been reading "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality". Right now, I am learning about how generational sins effect our relationships with others. It's been pretty challenging and encouraging. I want to face these generational sins head-on so my children, and my children's children, aren't effected by them.
Well, I need to get some reading done.
Much Love.

I'll Be Watching You
I listened to her strumming the guitar, and stared in awe, secretly wishing I could play just as well and make it seem so effortless. Even though I know how to play the guitar, I stopped learning in 2 months. I probably know only 5 chords out of which I can't even hold the F chord; my fingers hurt for days whenever I try. But when she played the guitar, I couldn't even make out which chords she used. I'm sure she creates her own chords. I wonder if she'd teach me how to do that. In fact I wonder if I could ever be like her. It was today morning that I realized it was much more the desire to be around her. I got tired of walking past the staff room ever morning to catch a glimpse of her or waiting for her to look at me and talk to me every time I followed her till her room after our 15 min recess; or even when I tried listening to her conversations with other teachers. I had so many things to tell her, so many things to ask her. Maybe I looked up to her. Maybe I really liked the way she dressed. Most of my friends do. Maybe I just wanted everyone to like me the way they liked her. Or maybe I didn't want anyone to like her, but me.
My mother told me that for a 13 year old I behaved in a very mature manner. My teachers always tell me that I'm the smartest girl in the 8th Grade. Yet, somewhere I didn't seem to fit in. I do have classmates of the opposite sex who looked at me like they looked at the girl with the shortest skirt in my school. Yet, I never looked back at them. I don't find the boy who sits at the back seat of the bus, cute and I never want to giggle when he passes by, but I do it anyway. Most of the time, when I'm sitting in the bus trying to block out the various moving conversations, I like to watch her come out of the school building and drive away. I've even memorized her address but I haven't told that to anyone because I know they'll give me the look. The same look I got when I told my best friend that I really didn't like Akon, or any of those rappers. Even she told me she didn't like Rap, the first time we talked.
I first saw her when she joined school as a temporary music teacher. All my other friends really like her too. Especially the boys… and when I think about that at night sometimes, it irritates me. Once I got into a fight with some of my friends who were talking about her. They said that she lives with a boy. I tried following her to her house to see who the boy was, but that day she didn't go home directly and I got lost. My mum had to come pick me up from somewhere. Of course I got grounded for a while and I still don't know who that boy is. I wish I could follow her home again but my mum has made sure that I am in the bus everyday by talking to the teacher in charge of my bus route. Once when I was walking past the staff room, I heard my teachers talking about that boy she lives with. They say it's her boyfriend. My mum thinks it's not okay to live with a boy before you're married, and she tells me that I'll be allowed to have a boyfriend only when I finish college. I wonder how that boy looks though.
I heard her play the guitar three months ago; I was the first one to enter her class. It was quite an interesting one. We even talked after the class for long and ever since, we've been very good friends. She tells me often that I'm her favorite student and that I'm very well mannered. I had to be her favorite. I could feel it in the way she greeted me with a kiss every time she saw me. It makes me very happy. In fact I'm the happiest when I'm around her, and the days I don't see her I cry till my mum comes into my room and forces me to sleep. The best part is she's just 19 years old. That's six years older than me. My own parents are six years apart, so that's okay… right?
I had a dream about her last night. She wanted to teach me how to play the guitar so we could do shows together. She also asked me to live with her. Sure I'd miss my mum, but I could always meet her during the vacations.
I woke up smiling today. I'd be happy if she really asked me to live with her. In fact I think I'm going to talk to her about it. I'm sure she'd love to live with me. I'd love to live with her. I'd love to talk to her, to hear her talk. I'd love to know what she thinks and each detail about her life. Most of all I'd really love to know what she does every minute of the day. I'm sure I'll never stop looking at her if we started living together. She'll even forget the boy she lives with. I'll make her.
I entered her room today feeling very content. She had called me to her room after my classes got over but I went to see her after my first class itself because I couldn't wait. I couldn't stop looking at her. She's really pretty, a little short but that's okay, my mum's short too. She was writing something but she put her pen down when she saw me. Every time I entered the room her face lit up. Today, she just looked at me, a little concerned. She didn't seem sad, but she didn't seem happy either. She asked me to sit next to her and when I sat on her couch instead, she looked at me for a very long time. She came up to me, gave me a tight hug and subtly smiled. I looked back at her with a million questions running through my head. Something wasn't right. Then she finally said it.
"Today is my last day."

This week my daughter started learning about mixing colors. She would fill up the bowl with water and I would add a couple of drops of food coloring. She would stir it up, and I'd add another few drops. She would dump it out and we would start all over again.
By the way, don't you love her farmer's tan??

Individual Therapy
Unlike many drug rehab centers that only provide process groups, our clients meet regularly with an individual therapist. During these sessions, our master's level clinicians help clients address underlying behavioral and emotional issues and encourage them to develop safe, therapeutic relationships. A close, supportive relationship in therapy can help clients build trust and tap into their internal motivation to recover. Over the course of individual treatment, clients will discuss issues they're not yet ready to bring to group, review therapeutic assignments and create action-based plans to fully engage in the treatment process.
Individual therapy is a cornerstone of addiction and mental health treatment. It is an effective method for investigating the underlying causes of addiction and psychological issues. During sessions, the client works one-on-one with a therapist to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors that contribute to their problems.
Also called talk therapy or psychotherapy, a key component of individual therapy is the collaborative effort between the therapist and client in developing a roadmap to recovery. Frequency and duration of individual therapy is based to a large degree on a client's needs, treatment goals and progress. Individual therapy is highly flexible in that sessions are customized to address a client's changing needs throughout the recovery process.
How Individual Therapy Helps
Individual therapy can be helpful in recovery from addiction, emotional trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder, codependency, grief or loss, depression, anxiety and other behavioral problems. Therapy helps clients confront barriers interfering with their emotional and mental well-being. Psychotherapy has the potential to improve coping skills and reduce destructive behaviors. Research shows individual therapy reduces relapses of moderate depression and anxiety and the positive effects can endure well beyond treatment.
Benefits of Individual Therapy
Individual therapy builds self-awareness and can increase positive feelings such as compassion, self-esteem, love and courage. For many clients, psychotherapy is a means of self-growth and self-actualization. Studies indicate individual therapy is beneficial in an estimated 75% of individuals who participate in it. Benefits include:
- Increased insight and compassion
- Enhanced self-awareness
- Heightened self-empowerment
- Improved interpersonal relationships
- Healthier coping skills
- Greater self-esteem
- Reduced anxiety, depression and self-criticism
- Decreased negative emotions and anger
- Reduced risk of relapse

Thank God, I'm back after dealing with an medical issue for a few weeks and am feeling wonderful.
Having a number of "to do's" waiting ( Editing the formatted copy of The Early Years for an e-book and the final editing of The Silence at Birch, which will be ready for publication this fall.) I think I have accomplished them now and can concentrate on going forward with my writing.
I am well into my next book called Moonbeams over my Shoulder, which will be out the next year of 2013.
I have left Lindy Lewis safe at last in Reed Conner's arms in the book Silence, and have created a new character named Daisy O'Dell who too, resides in Birch Lake. She owns a manicure business in town and is blond, in her fifties and drives a sports car. She is savy, single and rich.
Daisy has come back to live in Birch Lake, her home town, after residing in Minneapolis several decades for her marriage and to raise her family.
You will grow to love her as I have creating her, as she prepares for a visit from her best friend Roma. There's murder, mystery and mayhem again for you that will keep you reading well into the night!

A little rest
Sorry dear readers, I've had a bump in the road and haven't felt up to adding anything to my blog. Please give me another week and I should be able to catch up.
Don't forget I'll have another new Lindy Lewis Adventure coming out this late fall called The Silence in Birch.
Thanks Lyn

Rights versus Justice ...
In 21 years this man will be 'released under licence.' Yes, he will be in his late 50s and he will find it difficult to get a job or to lead a 'normal' life. But he has denied all life to his victims, and now we have the spectacle of him being assigned a specially 'adapted' cell - orginally three, now knocked into one 'apartment' larger than many young people can afford to rent - and it is equipped with every luxury, even his own private gym. The argument advanced by the lady governor of the prison is that "he is a human being, he has civil rights, and the state has a duty to take care of his health, welfare and mental state."
Once again, it seems, the "rights" of a criminal are trumping the "right' of the victims and the bereaved to see justice done. Simply depriving him of his liberty is not sufficient punishment. He does not regret his actions, he's proud of them. He 'apologised' for not killing more, and now, at huge expense, he can be sure he will not have to face the realities of the victims or their families. He will be protected from his fellow prisoners who might be tempted to teach him some manners. Even in old age he will not face the difficulties faced by ordinary pensioners, whose pensions will now, no doubt, be held in check to help pay for this murderers comfort, care and protection.
I do not believe justice has been done here. It has certainly not been seen to be done. Is it any wonder so many victims of crimes all across the western democracies feel they cannot rely on justice? I think the concern for the "rights' of criminals, and that is all Breivik is, has gone far too far. Justice MUST be seen to be done and in this case, I note with interest, many of the victims families feel aggrieved and let down by the treatment this monster looks forward to.

Not that that is a bad thing, while, as with so many things relating to freedom, the US does it very, very badly, I am somewhat in favour of prisoners working off their debt to society through meaningful labour. The "hard labour" of the old British system was meaningless, however, there are many simple, menial tasks that require doing but cannot be funded; could I suggest for one, maintaining street furniture and road signs, so many are in poor repair or obscured by vegetation, but local authorities cannot justify the cost of maintenance.
Alternatively, the paralimpian archers require targets!

I understand that the Norwegians can keep him banged up until he dies if they consider him to be a risk to society. I really don't know why the Norwegian armed polis didn't empty a magazine into him. As for Old Testament - the bastard should be burned at the stake! The right to a summary execution. It could work.

I see a pattern emerging.
First we have a Ponzi scheme. It doesn't matter what the content of the scheme is, it needs to be just credible enough to part people from their money through a possible - but highly improbable - investment scheme. You then create a money funnel where the receipts from later entrants go to fund the payments to earlier entrants, who may not want cash anyway as they can be persuaded to let their paper gains ride on the casino.
You may attract the attention from whistleblowers along the way. If they are external, then that's just sour grapes from incompetent competitors, if they are internal, then get rid of them. You will need accounts to lodge with the regulators, so a compliant auditor would also be helpful. And so the money goes around until it crashes to a halt - a crash caused by the collapse of the property market or the stock market, perhaps? And then the scheme comes into the open.
This business model fits the scheme of Bernie Madoff (see report), it may well fit the scheme of Allen Stanford (see report), and it has an unbearable likeness to the case of HBoS described in a previous post (see post). In the latest case to hit the headlines - that of Stanford International Bank - it appears that we have internal warnings that served as resignation letters and a small firm of auditors who gave SIB an unqualified audit opinion (see report). this all hightens the need for the reform of the audit community.
However, it is easy to blame others and we need to confess our own culpability. The fraudster needs the victim (I believe that they are called the 'Marks'). If we all were less willing to believe the improbable, it would be more difficult to perpetrate the fraud. If we all gave up trying to find an 'edge', then it would be difficult to sell high risk schemes. If we all said that what we had was enough - to become satisficers rather than maximisers - then these schemes would never gain sufficient momentum to grow.
On my part, I groaned when I read that the auditor of Stanford International Bank qualifies where I did, albeit 15 years earlier.

Looking at my gigantic to do list used to literally depress me and/or stress me. I can however happily and proudly say that it has notably decreased. If I continue like this, I might even be able to enjoy a few moments of freedom in Madrid before I leave. Freedom being a few hours of shopping (still need to buy a few xmas presents!), visiting friends, or (hopefully and) spending time with my father.
But I can't get carried away with joy yet. First things first. Got a gazillion things to do!

Hereford United 2 Wrexham 0
NO amount of excuses can hide the fact that Wrexham's record on the road this season has been anything less than woeful, so it's all the more remarkable there were 500 or so loyal fans prepared to make the trip to Hereford and experience what is becoming a regular dose of travel sickness.
But the scale of the trials and tribulations that have so far hampered manager Denis Smith and his side plumbed new depths at Edgar Street, where the Racecourse boss was able to call upon only four first-choice players after the Football League rejected overtures for a postponement due to the on-going absence through illness and injury of the majority of his recognised senior personnel.
Though squad numbers are not necessarily a definitive pecking order, Mike Ingham, Lee Roche, Shaun Pejic and Chris Llewellyn would clearly be in Smith's ideal line-up – which as he pointed out after this defeat, he has not had the luxury of naming even once this season – but the majority of the names on show on Saturday were – in footballing terms – barely out of the nursery, only midfielder Matty Crowell boasting more than 12 months of Football League experience.
Nevertheless, the patched-up visitors did themselves proud and were desperately unlucky not to take some reward from a match in which they were the better side by some distance – except where it mattered most, in front of goal.
The match statistics tell their own story (Wrexham figures first): On target shots 6-2; off target shots 4-3; corners 7-3. And while striker Alan Connell earned the post-match plaudits for plundering both breakaway goals, it was Bulls keeper Wayne Brown who was the unsung hero, with some fine saves and confident handling in less than ideal playing conditions.
Although he had been unable to train all week due to a leg injury, Roche found himself pressed into action in midfield alongside Crowell, while Pejic, captain for the day at the club where his father Mel still holds the appearance record, marshalled a novice defensive line also manned by Simon Spender, Gareth Evans and Mike Williams.
Their prospects looked as flimsy as the paper on which the line-ups were printed and in a less than auspicious start, Evans sliced a clearance to United striker Tim Sills but had the speed to get back and block before the damage was done.
A couple of minutes later Pejic's poor header was seized upon by Connell, whose instinctive dipping volley beat Ingham before rebounding off the top of the crossbar.
Wrexham created the first genuine opening when Matty Done fed Llewellyn on the left and moved into the penalty area for a return pass, which he spooned high over the bar with only Brown to beat.
Two minutes later Crowell and Marc Williams combined to give Llewellyn a sight of the target and his effort flew inches wide, during a spell which also brought a superb full-length save by ex-Chester man Brown to deny Llewellyn following a corner which caused all sorts of problems in the United penalty area.
But, as so often happens, the destiny of the points was determined in the space of 60 seconds eight minutes before the break. Crowell won a midfield tussle to pick out Llewellyn and his pass gave teenager Marc Williams the chance of his first senior goal. But whether it was stage fright or Brown's quick movement, the youngster shot tamely at the keeper.
And Brown quickly threw the ball out for Simon Travis, a constant threat down the right, to get beyond Spender and deliver a low cross which Connell flicked into the net, via Ingham's fingers and the inside of the upright.
It was a harsh lesson for Wrexham, who went close to an immediate riposte when Crowell's shot and another effort from Mike Williams were both narrowly off target and the resumption saw Lee McEvilly on for Williams and Kevin Smith replacing Josh Johnson in a clear bid to boost the visitors' firepower.
Brown was forced into another save from Pejic and after Llewellyn and sub Kevin Smith created an opening for Done, the keeper again did well to block the shot. Even when the on-loan Sunderland man finally beat the keeper in the 57th minute, his shot clipped the outside of the post, an effort that summed up Wrexham's luck.
But they persevered, Llewellyn hitting the side-netting after more good work from Crowell before it was McEvilly's turn to be foiled by Brown turning his close-range header over the bar.
There was a sense of inevitability about Connell's 88th minute clincher when Travis profited from a rare Evans mistake to set up his team-mate for a simple finish.

This represents a major step towards the closing of the $43 billion transaction, which is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2017. U.S. antitrust officials gave their approval under the condition that ChemChina sell three crop chemical businesses to a rival. The approval advances a wave of multibillion-dollar deals set to reshape the $100 billion global business in crop seeds and pesticides, at a time when farmers and the companies supplying them are struggling against low crop prices.

vs RECREATIVO
Sunday 8th Dec
Clapham Common 1.30pm
Recreativo Football Club
Tuesday, 3 December 2013
Next Match
Posted by Recreativo FC at 07:59
FC Madeira 4-6 RECREATIVO 1.12.13.
From TOM WINTER at Clapham Common
With Jimmy 'The Boss' Lloyd sent on gardening leave following some indiscretions at a local night club last week, Tom 'Fergie' Winter was ask to take the reigns. Last season Tom played his part in picking the team which would eventually get relegated - was this a chance at redemption? We would find out. Suffering from the dreaded 'man flu' all week, and ignoring the future wife's birthday, the Chosen One would not miss his chance. As the Reccy boys rocked up at what might as well be their new home pitch (Clapham Common) optimism filled the air.
Like all proper Sunday matches, only the 11 turned up – which meant my dream of only playing if needed went out of the window. The team picked itself, the Sunday league classic 4-4-2 - Radu between the sticks, a flat back four with Mario, Joao, Jamie, Miles, a midfield of Jordan, Andrew, Ben and Eddy and the deadly combo of Joe and Tom up front. Andrew would swap with Joe to keep our options open - simple.
The game kicked off and the early signs looked good.
With Reccy moving the ball better than in previous weeks, an early drive from Eddy resulted in the ball spilling to Tom - the keeper lost the race to the ball but a defender had read the situation and comfortably blocked the goal-bound shot.
More pressure followed and eventually Reccy would get their deserved lead, Jordan causing mayhem down the left flank, keeping to the by-line and beautifully cutting back to yours truly to slot into the corner. 1-0. As confidence soared the pressure on FC To Madeira mounted, a corner came a few minutes later and up rocked the big boys. Joao did his usual and smashed a wonderful header, a stunning reflex save from the keeper kept the ball out of the net but somehow the ball got played back in and Joao followed up his header with a left footed scissor kick volley. Brilliant - you might not see a better Sunday league goal - our own personal Ronaldo. 2-0.
As FC To Maderia collapsed Reccy started to enjoy volumes of possession, the third coming from some tidy work by Eddy on the left wing as he cross/shot the ball in. 3-0. Pure dominance.
But this wouldn't be Sunday League without the dreaded collapse. FC To Maderia literally had nothing going on and then, out of nothing they crawled three horrible goals back. That old Sunday league enemy 'the long ball' and before we knew it - 3-3. How? What? Are you serious?
Shakespeare once wrote "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them" and I'm pretty certain he was on about football….Tom 'Fergie' Winter made the big decision to change a team, that at times had played FC Maderia off the park. Ben swapped with Joao to sure up defence, Joao pushed up, Miles swapped with Eddy and Joe was told to play in a free role behind Tom – Andrew was to stay in the middle of the park.
The second half kicked off, with the everyone knowing the first goal would be key, and it came deservedly Reccy's way. A through ball by Jordan to Tom, who took it first time as the keeper came charging out 4-3. 10 minutes later and Joe in his free role worked some magic on the edge of the box to place a right footed shot in the corner 5-3 and Reccy were back on top. The sixth came from some lovely work from Andrew to release Tom down the wing to cross to Joe for a simple tap in. 6-3 - this had to be it.
How we didn't score anymore I'll never know. Joao had another header saved, Tom (pumped on drugs and goals) thought he would do a classic FIFA finesse shot by curling the ball in when through. This was then followed up by what might as well been an open goal when a long throw bounce past everyone to the penalty spot for an unchallenged header. How he didn't walk away with his first Sunday League ever hat-trick I will never know...
FC To Maderia would claim a late consolation to make it 6-4. The first league win of the season, well deserved, some special mentions to Ben and Miles, on debut, who both played brilliantly.
Whisper it quietly, the talk on the common was that some team in red, with a charity sponsorship had finally turned up – "Barcelona" they said... no... "Reccy"... the English equivalent.
Well done lads.

Barking Mad 2-2 RECREATIVO 17.11.13.
For the first hour, everything went to plan.
Debut-boy Joel hit a brilliant opener, Jordan scored from the spot, Zaga Supermarket's half-time refreshments went down a treat and Recreativo started the second term looking dangerous.
So far, so good.
And then.
Faz's dodgy hamstrings flared up - impressively, he has now injured BOTH in just a handful of games - and, with no subs, we were down to 10 men.
And all hell broke loose.
Suddenly, it felt as if we had four men on the pitch, not 10.
The same Barking Mad players who looked 2ft tall in the first half felt like giants in the second.
Even Rich, at 6ft 10ins, was quaking under their might.
Reccy held firm for 20 brave minutes but things looked terminal when they Barking hit two goals in quick succession.
At 2-2 with 10 minutes to go, it felt like we could have lost 5-2, 6-2 or 7-2.
Some backs-to-the-wall defending took the clock past 90 minutes.
Job done? Er, not quite.
A shot was deflected from the edge of the box and looped towards goal - only for the ball to slip past Radu and for their striker to poke home.
Gutted. Heads fell into hands and the pointless trudge back to the half-way line began.
And yet.
With Radu lying on the ground, and after minutes of will-he-won't-he-what's-going-on?-surely-notting, the ref... gave a free-kick.
Was it a foul? Well, the ref gave a free-kick. End of.
We'd been let out of jail.
But in the next attack we breached our bail terms and were sent straight back to the cells.
A handball given in the box.
Their striker steps up. Last kick of the game. Optimistic shouts of "ENCROACHMENT!" from Jamie.
And... over the bar.
Team: Radu, Ben, Jimmy, Rich, Mario, Jordan, Jamie, Joe H, Joel, Dan D, Faz.

Jeff's Chippy 2-2 RECREATIVO 10.11.13
Recreativo had been waiting for seven weeks to play again.
Yet that felt like nothing compared to this never-ending, nerve-shredding, backs-to-the-wall second-half that somehow ended in a draw.
And then to cap it all off, an inexplicable penalty shootout... that Reccy WON.
We took the lead early on when Joe H overhit a through-ball which somehow bounced over their keeper and into the back of the net.
It had shades of Begovic 2013 or, more famously, Pisano 2010.
OK, it may have been a little lucky. But sod that - I'm still impressed when I see anyone reach the box from the half-way line!
A Chippy equaliser squared things up but then Andrew R proved he wasn't lying about his Italian heritage with a real golazo from the edge of the box.
The half-time change of ends did us no favours - and not because of the usual foes of wind, rain or slopes.
No, it was the glorious early-winter SUN that did for us.
Looking across the pitch and up to the Chippy goal, every player was a vague Sunday League-shaped silhouette - making it virtually impossible to work out who was on which team.
Luckily for us, Eddy, Joe D and Jamie G simply tackled anything that moved instead in a heroic, ball-busting set of shifts.
Chippy were held at bay until the hour mark, when a thumped header levelled matters.
But some brilliant defending at the end - finishing in a Sam Allardyce-style 6-3-1 formation - stopped Chippy pinching another.
In fact, with Jordan and Tom W running themselves into the ground up front, we even had a few half-chances to snatch an improbable win ourselves.
But just as we were back-slapping and high-fiving at the final whistle rumours started spreading that, this being a cup group match, we needed a penalty shootout. A penalty shootout!
Excitingly, though, it WASN'T to decide a winner - just to separate the teams if we go on to finish level in Group B. Football's most sickeningly tense tie-breaker reduced to a function of satisfying admin.
Successful spot-kicks from Joe H, Andrew R, Faz and, just about, Jimmy L, left it 4-4 going into the final round.
Chippy's fifth brave soul then blazed over, Roberto Baggio style - leaving Jordan to tuck his away his penalty and secure an unlikely shootout win.
No more rest for now, with our next match seven days - rather than seven weeks - away.
But happily the enforced break did help us achieve one thing - Recreativo are still unbeaten since September 22!

FC Junction 3-2 RECREATIVO 22.9.13.
Clapham Common. Here we are again. It is better than Wimbledon, where FC Junction are registered. But still.
We took the lead, new-boy Faz crashing home from a classic penalty box ding-dong.
I was personally chuffed for Faz, a striker who was playing at the back after an admin blunder, although it again reminded me that I am yet to score in five years for Reccy.
He had only needed 20 minutes.
Well, maybe I should have been concentrating harder, because they scored. Then they scored again. Bollocks.
Recreativo were playing some fine football though and Tom W fizzed home a a flick-on header from Tom W's free-kick.
There were some points there for taking - unfortunately, though, it was not us who took them.
Junction - or 'Junkies', as they like to be known - snuck through and made it 3-2.
With 20 minutes to go, Reccy knocked and knocked. Faz almost got a leveller, only to see his goal-bound shot blocked on the line - by one of our players.
That summed it up really for us. Full of potential, deserving of more - but not ruthless enough.
To make matters worse, just as the cycle back to Hackney begun - with kit bag on back - the heavens started to open.
Got back to a text from ref Nev: "You boys need to start winning." He is right.

RECREATIVO 4-6 Ladzio 23.9.13.
After two weeks of normal football scores we were due a Sunday League classic - and boy did we get it.
Ladzio, our old sparring partners from the Premier Division have, like us, fallen on slightly harder times.
A couple of years ago this was a top-flight, top-of-the-table blockbuster.
But now in the Championship - away from the prying eyes of the tabloid reporters and Sky cameras - we are free to play out crazy ten-goal thrillers at the Marshes.
Forced squad rotations saw four more Recreativo debuts - taking our total number of players this year to 22. Twenty two! And we still only had the bare 11 out there.
Some sloppy defending led to three first-half Ladzio goals, all speedy breakaway moves that were tidily tucked away.
Disaster struck when Ladzio made it 4-0 just after the break.
But you know what? We started scoring. Finally.
Was it the Mourinho-like tactical shake-up at half-time?
No. More likely the refreshments kindly provided by the Zaga Supermarket, Clapton.
Actually, no again. It was most likely the series of brilliant free-kicks from Joe Haley - and the deadly conversions that followed.
First, Tom W flashed a header into the far corner.
The ginger Pele was at it again when he sent in another for our Italian new-boy Toni to flick in. Game on.
Ladzio were on the rocks now and Toni scored a cracking solo goal, picking up a long-ball, driving through their backline and slipping past their keeper.
Fifteen minutes earlier we were on the end of a proper hammering. But now, at 4-3, and Joe H sending in his laser free-kicks were we right back in it.
We were not even put off by a Ladzio goal. 5-3, with 20 minutes to go. Twenty minutes!
Andrew R - who had hit the post at 4-3 (I think. Who really knows what on earth was happening in those zany 25 minutes?) capped an impressive second-half performance by scoring from another Joe H free-kick.
But then. Another goal from Ladzio finally killed off a ballsy Reccy fightback.
If Recreativo 2010 or Ladzio 2009 could have seen this then they probably would have all stopped playing and just starting talking about the global economic collapse for a bit of light relief.
Yet we displayed enough guts to show we might get something out of this year.

SEASON 2013-14 : RECREATIVO 1-1 Walthamstow Eagles 8.9.13.
Gregg M writes:
The sunshine gives in and rainclouds open just as I start cycling to the Marshes for the first game back after what has been actual summer.
I don't want that to be a omen, I think, but it sure feels like one. Summer's gone, Sunday defeat is back.
But it's just a shower, and it's a great day for football. Recreativo are down a division and it feels good to be back, it feels like a weight is lifted. There's even new kit.
And there's a lot of us. A squad of fifteen feels luxurious. Not that we get much of a chance to say hello to the new faces, barely enough time for warm-up giving a more familiar sense of what it is to turn out for Reccy.
The first half gets underway with us playing into the wind. So nature, and some true early season touches, keep us on the backfoot for a large part of the first 45 minutes.
Walthamstow, our opponents, are young, big and got to the pitch about an hour before kick-off for drills. It shows, but Radu pulls off a couple of great saves and their strikers misfire. A couple of blocks, and a good shout for a penalty by Joe H later, and the whistle for half-time goes with new centre-back Jamie struggling to find the ball in the long grass behind our goal, from where we've done a lot of fetching.
Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without the messiah and we have our own this week. Joao has snuck in during the first half, just to watch he said, but can't resist the invite to play a half at centre-back.
A couple more subs and we start the second half in positive mood. It seems a lifetime since we started a second half at 0-0.
With the wind we start to enjoy some time in Walthamstow's half, new striker Payman (?) looks spritely and passes are being picked. Half an hour to go and Reccy look most likely to register an opening day win.
Obviously, we concede at this point.
Twenty-five minutes go by, Joe H makes himself some space and fires over in this time, Jimmy Lloyd dusts off his boots to line up along side Joao in a defensive pairing circa 2010/11. We play some good football but nothing quite comes off up top. It seems like Walthamstow are going to take the three points on their short journey home.
But then, they hadn't read the script. A Second Coming isn't a Second Coming without a goal. Joao Spinola pops up with a nifty header from all of two yards to rescue a point.
In the remaining minutes we almost lose but for a heroic block by impressive new boy Mark, Tom W knocks a man three times his size off the ball, and Payman almost wins it for us but for a good save from their keeper.
Final whistle goes, 1-1, a nice, conventional scoreline to start the season. Given the amount of new faces it feels like a good result. And the atmosphere is good too, grown up, we have something to build on.
After a quick pint with the gaffer, Mario and Jamie in Homerton I text the absent Joe D the result, and ask him to guess who scored.
"Mega" he responds, "Radu?"
"Joao", I text back.

Lyric Celtic 4-1 RECREATIVO 24.3.13.
When will this winter ever end? Summer football at Clissold Park just can't come soon enough.
Another defeat here pushed us a little closer to Division 2 but on a day when nobody in the country wanted to play it was a top effort from everybody who made it.
Even the two Canadians making their Reccy debuts, Sandro and Robert, were cold.
It was the sort of day that, when you went to shout, your cheeks were frozen solid and could only just about manage a "KWWAAARRM UUURRN WRECCCCKI!!!" noise.
With only 10 turning up - including a dodgy emergency keeper - it was always going to be tough, especially in the howling Arctic wind on Clapham Common's frozen swamp.
But we tried playing a proper passing game until the end and Robert scored our goal after a brilliant Total Football move where the ball barely left the ground from one box to the other.
Got home to an email from Lyric's skipper Rob: "Cheers for the game!"
We seem to have been getting rather a lot of those messages in recent weeks.

RECREATIVO 2-4 Rio Kaiserslautern 17.3.13.
Proper Sunday football. Rain from all angles. Mud in abundance. A two minute warm up. Comedy defending (us), comedy shooting in front of goal (them). Hoofing. Squelching. And praying for the final whistle with still ten minutes left on the clock. However, amongst all this, a pretty decent game of football was played out against a team that wiped the floor with us last week.
Today it was a different matter, back on home soil, putting up more or a fight, we definitely made more of a game of it. If it wasn't for a very dubious decision to award Rio a penalty late on for 'handball', we could of easily taken a point. However, the ref, the mud, the final 15 minutes of sheer fatigue on an awfully cold and wet day, coalesced into an unmovable object that we simply could not get through despite 100% effort from all involved. Mud soaked, absolutely shattered and frozen to the bone, yet having taken part in a full blown game of football, it was a relief when referee Neville put the whistle to his lips and we could all head home.Never mind the result, top marks lads today for turning out on such a god awful day. Next up, Lyric away.

Rio Kaiserslautern 10-2 RECREATIVO 10.3.13.
Away day at Battersea Park. Empty the car of Recreativo Juniors. Fill it with Recreativo Seniors. Sorry about the mud. Boo as we pass the Emirates. Head down Farringdon Road, via Holborn because of road works and follow the river. South West London. Battersea. Fulham. Think big boned boys rowing along the Thames. Ben Fogle. James Cracknell. Nordic types off time trialling around Richmond Park on gorgeous Pinarellos. South West London. Feels like another country. Let's get this game over with and get back to Hackney asap. The oppo are struggling in the league, it's going to be a formality.
The half of team that have turned up warm up, all of us wondering how many times across the pitch we're going to stretch and sprint. Some of us dare not show we're knackered already. We're joined by the late arrivals, Dan who last pulled on a Reccy shirt 5 years ago, Tom who's travelled to Tooting wondering where we all are and Joe and Aaron who have no time to warm up because the ref is calling for the captains.A game of football ensues. We stare accusingly at Radu for the first two we let in and mumble the words 'slow', 'off' and 'his line', shake our heads, self satisfied that none of us are to blame. But the truth is we don't even get into their half. Jimmie G hops off after his calf muscle goes 'pop!' and Jimmy L's mysterious buttock injury holds out until half time. Tom P comes on and makes a fight of it in midfield, despite the mud bath. We let in another six, score two ourselves and pray the ref will blow his fucking whistle so we can all head home. He shows mercy and off we trudge. Nothing to say. Cold. Extremely cold. Shell shocked we stumble back to the car, desperate to fall into the arms of wives and girlfriends, desperate for sympathy, some hot dinner and telly. We get stuck in traffic on Holloway Road for what seems forever as the radio commentator blurts out that Suarez has put one past Spurs. Could the day get any fucking worse?!
Gregg M is on kit duty. Maybe after this defeat maybe he should just burn it? We feel for him as he has a house full of visitors. Wonder if he gives them the full account. 'Tell them we won 2-1 and you scored' is our advice.
Despite it all, we'll be back next week. Back on home soil with vengeance on our minds. Sort of.

Sandmere 2-3 RECREATIVO 3.3.13.
JG writes: At last, a victory! And I guess a victory in sorts for all of us who made it down to the back streets of Tooting, some of us getting lost and arriving at the cemetery instead of the playing fields. Still, when we did finally make it, we discovered a fabulous little pitch surrounded by back-to-back houses and gardens. Despite a generous slope and being a little rough around the edges, this little oasis of green behind a grubby high street had a definite charm all of its own. A perfect arena for Sunday league football.
For those of us who had made such an effort to find the place, we were determined to give it a real go today. We started brightly, kicking downhill, yet despite bossing the first half, went in at half time at 1-1 (a sliced deflected own goal from a corner no less by...ahem...yours truly. Hooray! I was at least on the score sheet once more....followed by a Joe Haley strike for Reccy just on half time).
Second half, uphill, we found it a little tougher going. However, we dug our heels in and kept at it, defending set pieces, pushing forward, trying to keep hold of the ball. Our only major scare was when Radu picked the ball up from a back pass - luckily Sandmere blasted the ball wide from the resulting free kick and shortly after Joe H got his second. On came sub Sam, who arrived at half time after wandering the streets desperate to find us, and duly slotted home a third goal for Reccy.
A late near post header for Sandmere made it 3-2 in our favour and the last few minutes saw some first class Recreativo defending ensuring a trip down to the back streets of nowhere was worth it. Superb!
Back home to Tottenham beating Arsenal, a long soak in the bath before Shepherd's Pie, a bottle of gorgeous Rioja and legs turning to jelly half way through Countryfile. What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday. Well played everyone!

RECREATIVO 0-4 Clapham Alexandra 24.2.13.
No proper goalie. Missing shirts. Mismatched bits of kit. No one really in charge. A pitch furthest away from the dressing room. And against opposition who are standing in a circle clapping their captain's inspirational pre-warm up team talk. For fucks sake! With so many new players of late, emails flying about about management, team selection, responsibilities about paying the ref (who ever he is this week), Whats App and Teamstuff thrown into the mix, most of us take to the pitch just about remembering each other's names....
However, a half decent game of football develops, (the decent half from Clapham). Tom P and Tom W take turns in goal and both do an admiral job considering the amount of shots that pepper our goal. However, whatever obstacles Recreativo have faced with a constantly changing team, everyone out there gives their all again today. It's been a pretty disastrous season (so far) in terms of league results - but if we worried about that we'd have given this up ages ago. Yet with seven games left to go, plenty of players still wanting to play, the sunshine and good times and summer training sessions just around the corner, who knows, maybe Recreativo can celebrate ten years in this league with a new kit, a bright future and even some points on the board.
Back home with the dirty kit, to PSG vs Marseille on the box and a bottle of red wine to washes away the aches and pains. Time to look up the venue for next week's match....Earlsfield. Is that even in London? See ya there....

RECREATIVO 1-4 Lyric Celtic 3.2.13.
There's no 'Recreativo vs Lyric Celtic' chalked up on the Hackney Marshes Centre blackboard. The geezer from the council's saying the pitch hasn't been paid for. There's no opposition and no ref. How do we explain this to the new recruits as they traipse across the barren pitches looking for us. Text from Jimmy L to Jimmie G: "I bet you've missed the constant state of low level matchday terror!".
We decide to take our favourite pitch, miles away from the dressing rooms. Could the re-generation of East London not have stretched to building a monorail from the changing rooms to the North Marsh?
Finally Celtic show, referee Neville blows the whistle and we are away. A very good game of footy ensues but we concede two goals after 25 mins and a killer header from a corner right on half time.Tom P slots home a penalty (after the ref gave a hand-ball in our favour after the ball actually hits the Celtic defender's back!) and we're back in the game. A fourth Lyric goal late on belied the fact that we were very much in this game and the score somewhat flattered them. However, the new recruits looked half-decent, there's a renewed good vibe throughout the team and enough spirit and fight to get something out of the remaining matches coming up.
Team: Radu Atlas, Steven, Dave Perrett, Joe Dunthorne, Kelvin Brown, Jimmie Gregory, Tom Perrett, Tom Winter, Joe Haley, Aaron Gayle, Rich. Subs: Mario Pisano, Gregg Morgan, Sam.

Barcardi Sagna 4-2 RECREATIVO Cup Q/F 13.1.13.
JG writes: Last time I visited Wormwood Scrubs, it was to visit my son, on the first day of a two and a half year sentence for gentleman's fisticuffs at Tottenham-Arsenal. He told me he'd look out of the cell and watch the Sunday football spread out across the adjoining park and wish he was out there playing for Recreativo again. So it was with slight trepidation I walked up past the Victorian prison and onto the scarred muddy pitches, thinking about the boys banged up in there and appreciating the simple and relative freedom of driving across London to play a game of football on a freezing Sunday afternoon. Today's opponents: Bacardi Sagna in the Super Cup Quarter Final.
The opposition certainly worked out a lot quicker than us that the key to this game was to play the match on the flanks. That's where there was still enough grass to grip your studs into, stay upright and make headway. Otherwise, the pitch was a mud bath.
3-0 down after half an hour, we managed to pull back two goals (Joe H and Ben C getting on the score sheet) and downhill in the second half with the wind behind us, we made more of a game of it. Five minutes to go and renewed Recreativo pressure looked like a late equaliser was on the cards. However, a last minute opposition break resulted in another goal for Sagna. Game over.
Not the end of the world after another decent Recreativo performance. Plenty of new faces in the team and good vibes throughout. And at the end of the day that's what we all want. Still, a win wouldn't go a miss next game. Hard luck boys. Well played.

RECREATIVO 1-3 Project Clapham
JL writes: It was just like the good old days.
No fights, a few laughs, a Gregory on the team-sheet — and a home defeat.
This Project Clapham side are top of the league and will thrash better teams then Reccy this season.
But we held our own and with a bit more luck might have nicked it.
Reccy fell behind but Joe H — the second smallest man on the pitch (behind our new keeper Radu) — levelled with a header.
Yet two sucker-punch second-half goals killed it off.
Adam's worldwide network of dodgy scouts has produced an exotic-sounding roster of tiki taka stars.
Pablo (Spain), Valetin (France), Adrien (France), Radu (Romania) and Pete (er, Bristol) made us at least sound like a thrilling continental side.
In particular, Radu — a "pre-revolution" cycling champion in Romania — had a stormer in goal.
But that could just be down to the canister of "Goalkeeper Glove Glue" we clocked him using before kick-off!
We might have lacked killer touch as 2013 started with defeat.
But after the punch-ups and red cards of 2012 that could be a good thing.
JG adds:No handbags, no fisticuffs, no yellow cards, no broken bones. Just an honest game of football on Hackney Marshes on a mild January afternoon. Nice.
Having been a way a while it was great to return to this hallowed turf and see plenty of new faces, as well as some of the old heads. And despite both teams making a full on contest of the match, crashing into tackles, (keeper Radu's early 50-50 slide out of goal into a Clapham forward early on springs to mind), both teams played this game in a great spirit.
The football was good, Tom in midfield in the heart of the action and Aaron and Joe Haley linked up well to set up Recreativo chances. This was a more equal game than the 10-0 drubbing we had inflicted on us a few seasons back. But Project Clapham are a well handy side, currently sitting pretty at the top of the league.
So a final 3-1 loss after a hard fought game wasn't too bad and surely if we continue with this decent football we'll pick up a fair few points before the season's end in March. Hard luck boys, but well played everyone.
Team (roll on-roll off): Radu, Mario Pisano, Chris Chambers, Joe Dunthorne, Aaron Gayle, Joe Haley, Tom, Dan, Adrian, Valentino, Pablo, Jimmie Gregory, Pete.

This reporter clearly does not understand food or the underlying techniques...kudos for looking up some FRENCH techniques coupled with talking out your rear end. FYI a béchamel sauce is one of the mother sauces that starts with a roux to thicken and then milk is added (also called a white sauce). An Alfredo sauce is a butter & heavy cream mixture fortified with Parmesan (or other hard Italian cheeses) and possibly herbs. Alfredo is not made with a roux and is not thickened with flour. Seriously, did you expect a sauce made with a 4 to 1 cream and butter ratio to be light? (1/4 c. butter to 1 c. cream with 1 1/2 cups cheese) WTF?
I actually laughed when the reporter mentioned that the chopped fresh basil on his Eggplant Parmigiana was cut irregularly or sprinkled on haphazardly. After all, a chiffonade is folding the basil leaf and cutting it into thin strips. While this may be a reasonable complaint in a three star Michelin restaurant, an in evenly cut or sprinkled garnish in this market should not be worthy of a mention.
How can this reporter give a honest evaluation when he can not tell a mother sauce from a Alfredo sauce? I suggest he learn to discern the difference before perusing the index of a Julia Child cookbook in a failed attempt to sound educated.

Events that take place in history can also be deemed turning points. Turning points in history are often debated amongst historians. They influence the course of future events. A turning point is substantial in its effect on the world, usually shocking. The Buddhists Riots of 1963 is one such event. The proceeding events and aftermath, or result of, the reactions the Buddhist riots triggered, marked a change in how current events are viewed by the public. The Buddhist Riots of 1963 was brought on by Catholic Ngo Dinh Diem's ban of displaying of the Buddhists flag in the city of Hue.
Diem ordered his government to slay unarmed civilians who were in protest of the ban. These protesters demanded Diem remove the ban in honor of their religious freedom. Diem responded by imprisoning the Buddhist leaders. The Buddhist community became activists who were determined to reverse Diem's policy. In despair, they began to resort to extreme measures to bring attention to their cause. Their goal was to gain international support and representation. This brought on the first publicized self-immolation of a Vietnamese Buddhist. June 11,1963, Thich Quang Duc resorted to self-immolation.
The Buddhist revolt reached a new dimension on June 11, when Thich Quang Duc, a seventy-three-year-old bonze immolated himself in front of large crowds at a busy intersection in downtown Saigon (Moss, 2010). " This act of protest along with many other dramatic demonstrations from Buddhists gained attention of thousands worldwide. Some who were not supporters of the Buddhist community and faith were now empathetic to their struggles and supported their cause. The US was under international scrutiny for their contributions to Diem's government and support of the war against Communism (Toong, 2007).
The involvement of Kennedy in the battle against communism and Diem's unwillingness to compromise with the Buddhists displayed by continuous brutal murders and imprisonments became national news as the events were diligently televised and reported by the media. "Between May and the fall of Diem's government in November 1963, each increasingly dramatic Buddhist demonstration which the South Vietnamese Government (GVN) suppressed with mounting brutality gained international sympathy for the Buddhist movement and worldwide criticism for the authoritarian Diem government (Toong, 2007).
Thus causing the Buddhist Riots of 1963 to become a turning point in history. Diem's refusal to reverse his anti-Buddhism laws resulted in Washington's decision to overthrow the Diem government. President Kennedy was in agreement and supported a coup against Diem in response to his proposition toward North Vietnam as well as his gross disapproval of the international citizens (Moss, 2010). These citizens' opinions were influenced by the media coverage of the Buddhist Riots of 1963 and the subsequent events (Toong, 2007). If not for the media coverage, Kennedy would not have been pressured to overthrow Diem's government.
