To Separate And To Draw Together Series
Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: God separated Israel from Egypt to make that people a beacon; in the Church, that beacon is a reality to draw all men and women to true worship in Christ.
Feast of St Luke
October 18 2010
Spirit of the Liturgy
It is important to our study of the spirit of the Liturgy that, when arriving at a new place, the disciple of Jesus is to give the occupants a liturgical greeting–Shalom aleichem, or "peace to those who dwell here." The disciple is a missionary, one sent by the Father as Jesus was, and is to practice a kind of humble poverty of spirit. It bodes well for our Archdiocese that our new Shepherd, Archbishop Gustavo, is vowed to poverty as a member of a religious institute, and, according to one blog, is known for hanging his pectoral cross on a shoestring.
Last week we saw that the seven-day work to create the meeting tent, the holy tabernacle of the people of God, mirrored exactly the seven-day work of creation. God's Shekinah, the cloud that designated His presence, then covered the dwelling. "Heaven and earth are united." The original comradeship that Adam and Eve experienced with God in the garden is in some way restored, as God makes his "dwelling in the world." The covenant between God and man is restored. "Creation looks toward the covenant, but the covenant completes creation and does not simply exist along with it." (27) "Now if worship, rightly understood, is the soul of the covenant, then it not only saves mankind but is also meant to draw the whole of reality into communion with God."
It is important to see that a vital part of this restoration is the notion of separation. The Hebrew verb bara has just two meanings. First, it is the verb used to denote the creation of the world from primeval chaos–the separation of the elements that orders the universe. But it also "denotes the fundamental process of salvation history, that is, the election and separation of pure from impure, and. . .the inauguration of the history of God's dealings with men. God calls what the Bible describes as a "mixed multitude" out of Egypt. Please note that the separation there was not racial. The people of Israel identified with twelve origins more than with one. The identity of Israel is moral, not racial. Their identity as a people stemmed from their call by God, not their DNA. God made them into a people–hopefully one people–so that they could fulfill their human longing for union with God. God did not need them any more than He needs anything. He wanted them, as He wants us. We fulfill our longing and our destiny when we worship Him as He wants us to, and when we act morally. We need to do these things because we are most human, and most divine, when we do.
The Holy Father continues by asking "what is worship? What happens when we worship?" Here the anthropology of worship is tied up with the notion of sacrifice. "In all religions, sacrifice is at the heart of worship." Moreover, sacrifice is tied up with that notion of separation. We hand over to God some reality that is precious to us. "This handing over presupposes that it is withdrawn from use by man, and that can only happen through its destruction, its definitive removal from the hands of man." (28) But this also presupposes that God takes some "pleasure" in an act of destruction. "Is anything really surrendered to God through destruction?" No. A mechanical act cannot serve to glorify God.
"True surrender to God looks very different. It consists. . .in the union of man and creation with God. Belonging to God has nothing to do with destruction or non-being: it is rather a way of being. It means emerging from the state of separation, of apparent autonomy, of existing only for oneself and in oneself. . .That is why St. Augustine could say that the true 'sacrifice' is the civitas Dei [the city of God], that is, love-transformed mankind, the divinization of creation and the surrender of all things to God: God all in all. . .that is the purpose of the world. That is the essence of sacrifice and worship."
The separation action, then, is ordered toward a unification action. God separated Israel from Egypt and the nations so that Israel could be a beacon, drawing all mankind to true worship in spirit and truth. Israel failed in that mission, so Jesus came to recreate the city of God as the Church–the new Israel–and, moreover, Jesus gave up His life so that, in His resurrected Body and Blood shared as nourishment, the Church might draw us together and fulfill our deepest desire to be one, and one with God. That is why we must be that beacon, that city on the hill, a place of goodness and beauty and truth. We must in Christ draw all men and women together to worship God as He made us to.

Meet the Team: Michael
Nínive Calegari (our new CEO) and Michael Huang (our Finance Assistant) had a lunch conversation last week. Michael is a graduate of Enterprise's Career Exploration Program (CEP) and is now working as an employee at Enterprise. They ate sushi on Battery Street while having the following conversation. Enjoy.
Nínive: How did you first get involved with Enterprise?
Michael: I was at Lincoln High School at the time. I had just finished my lunch and was heading to the first floor bathroom. Mario (Enterprise staffer) was standing there and when I walked by and Mario said, "Hi, how are you? Would you like to have a summer job?" After Mario talked me into applying, I asked a friend to come to Enterprise with me and we went. That was October 2015. We graduated (from Lincoln High School) and I got into CEP.
Nínive: What was the best part of working with CEP?
Michael: The best part of being part of CEP was working with Shantel. She is hardworking and organized. She taught me all about Excel. I also learned to be more professional from her, and how to restrain yourself.
Nínive: I didn't know how to do that! Yet.
Michael laughs.
Michael: I learned how to solve problems with her. She taught me that you have to be calm. Shantel is literally dealing with millions of dollars. She does most of the hard work. I do the easy stuff.
Nínive: You know, you are funny. I am funny, too. You must spend a lot of time laughing with your friends.
Michael: Only on the weekends.
Michael and Ninive both laugh.
Michael: When I started, I worked with Shantel for a week and then and she went to Hawaii. So, I was on my own and had to solve problems.
Nínive: How did you do that??? Did the bills get paid that week??
Michael: Some of them.
Michael and Ninive laugh again.
Michael: Seriously, I got help. The job has been great because I have learned programs, I know about money and checks and systems. And, I like helping others. The staff need us to solve their problems sometimes and I enjoy helping them. That is everything I've learned working with Shantel.
Nínive: What what makes you unique in your family?
Michael:I like exercise. On my day off I like to work out.. Actually I don't like it. I do it for results.
Nínive: What should I should I do to improve Enterprise?
Michael: I think everything is great!

The newly reopened and fully renovated Asian Grill in Medford serves Pan-Asian cuisine in a stylish environment.
I've found lots to like during my two visits for lunch at the restaurant located in the Blue Sky Plaza at 1250 Biddle Road. There's a menu with more than a dozen entrees, including uncommon Asian fusion choices and Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean favorites. The restaurant's been at the shopping center since 2000, but it's at an all-new spot after making way for Men's Wearhouse last year.
I brought my dad for a visit Sunday, and we found the spot to be a perfect reprieve from the holiday shopping hustle and bustle. With vegetarian options and familiar favorites such as Teriyaki Chicken among more adventurous curries, there should be something for any palate and diet. Dad, however, found the dozen-plus plate choices a little daunting.
Our server highlighted some choices for first-timers, such as the char-grilled Teriyaki Beef and deep-fried offerings such as Orange Sesame Chicken. He went for the Crispy Fish ($11.50), which featured strips of Alaskan cod "egg flash-fried" with a texture similar to tempura. Each plate comes with jasmine or brown rice and one of three veggie sides.
I found what I was looking for in the Malaysian Crispy Chicken ($9.50). It featured strips of chicken breast cooked in a similar fashion as Dad's fish, but lightly tossed in a sweet chili sauce with green onions, cilantro and diced peppers. I thought it had a well-prepared mix of flavors.
I enjoyed the side of jasmine rice and the organic mixed green salad with a soy dressing and cherry tomatoes, but on another visit I discovered I prefer the tangy cucumber salad with its mix of onions, cilantro and lime juice. Curious about the restaurant's noodle dishes, I tried the Chicken Pad Thai ($9.50), which I found to be delicious. The noodles were thinner than typical, closer to angel hair than the linguine size I usually see, but the ground chicken and peanut sauce were so fresh that I quickly saw things their way.
On one visit I started with Tiger Rolls ($3), a fried spring roll wrapper containing a blend of crab meat and cream cheese served with a side of sweet chili sauce. I'm hooked on its mix of crispy and creamy textures, and I'd definitely order it again.
At another time, I tried their pot stickers, pan-fried and seared on one side in Chinese restaurant fashion. They were nicely arranged with a side of soy sauce sprinkled with sesame seeds, but the Tiger Rolls are the standouts.
Diners looking to eat well at a bargain price will like Asian Grill's lunch menu, served until 5 p.m. every day, with combo-plate prices that hover in the neighborhood of $10. The dinner menu has a broader selection, such as grilled Curry Basil Salmon ($17). Dinner entrees are about $15 apiece, with many starters below $10.
Cementing my favorable impression was an elegant, modern and sparkling clean environment.
The dark floors gleam under LED spot lighting, while silver bamboo wallpaper, gray tile and paint and bright-green upholstered chairs softly lighten the dining area. Clean lines and natural textures abound. Soft surfaces prevent the Zen minimalism from feeling Spartan. It's an upscale look that surpasses its strip-mall exterior, though that location means plenty of parking.
Waitstaff look crisp in all-black ensembles, and even simple dishes are served handsomely arranged on white rectangular plates. Compared to many Asian-style restaurants in the Medford area with dining areas that are merely serviceable, Asian Grill has an absolute strength.
Asian Grill's mix of fair prices, interesting dishes and elegant style checks every box. It's open for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 8 p.m. Sundays. Find them online at asiangrillmedford.com or call 541-608-7115.

It is, however, by no means game over. If the US can avoid recession, the European Central Bank can hold firm and the current financial shocks can be absorbed, then the region's positive fundamentals should once again come to the fore and support economic growth, even if at a lower level.
Admittedly, there are a lot of ifs and what is almost certain is that short-term growth will weaken.
The ECB finds itself in a particularly difficult position. The Fed has cut interest rates to 4.25 per cent and is likely to cut again and the Bank of England is expec-ted to reduce rates soon from the current level of 5.5 per cent but the ECB has less room to manoeuvre due to stubborn inflation risks. Inflation for the region ran at 3.1 per cent in December and core inflation at 2.3 per cent, above the central bank's target of about 2 per cent.
The combination of energy and food price rises, high resource utilisation rates and a sluggish supply side means that demand will need to become substantially more lacklustre to reduce the upside risks to inflation and bring utilisation rates back to equilibrium. Interest rates in the euro area may therefore remain on hold for longer than in the UK and US.
To compound the risks to economic growth, additional pressures from the repricing of risk in credit markets and funding difficulties have already caused retail banks to raise their borrowing rates, which could dent income both for households and corporates who have floating rate mortgages or loans and reduce corporate plans for investment and expansion.
The ECB's January bank lending survey showed that bank lending standards continued to tighten in the three months to January. However, while corporates are net borrowers, in the eurozone, the majority of households are net savers. Therefore, increases in savings rates should partly offset the effect of higher borrowing rates on household incomes.
The euro has appreciated substantially over several months against the US dollar (and sterling), which could be a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it is worrying for exporters, likely to squeeze corporate profits and dampen growth. The exact mechanics of this will depend on how exporters price their products. If they price in euro, they will become uncompetitive. If they price in local market currencies, their profits will suffer. Either way, it is unlikely that they welcome a strengthening in their currency.
In addition, a fall in exporters' profits would eventually feed through to the labour market and capital investment.
On the other hand, the stronger euro could help to ease inflationary pressures in the economy as imports become cheaper, providing the ECB with more scope to ease interest rates.
Although Europe is not immune to the global headwinds described above, there are some positive beacons in the mist which make the region still attractive for long-term investors. Many high-quality European stocks already represent good value on a price-to-earnings basis, particularly compared with Japanese and US stockmarkets.
The outlook is uncertain at the moment because it is so difficult to predict how long it will take for the financial shocks to be absorbed by the economy.
If the US falls into recession, it would have a negative impact on the eurozone's economy due to exchange rates, trade linkages and asset prices. But if the US can skirt past a recession, the outlook is promising.
Provided the ECB can steer a steady course, avoiding the pitfalls of high inflation or sharply decelerating growth, the positive fundamentals exhibited by the economy over the past two years should reassert themselves once the financial shocks have been absorbed.

Community car wash events are a popular means of raising money for worthwhile causes. However, if runoff from car washes is not properly managed, it can negatively impact our local creeks and rivers. Wash water from car washing activities typically contains dirt (sediment), soap (detergent/surfactants), gasoline and motor oil, as well as metals and oil/grease residues from exhaust fumes and brake pads. When this dirty water is allowed to flow into storm drains, it travels directly to our local creeks and rivers without treatment. This pollution can kill or harm fish and other aquatic life and make our waterways unsafe for drinking, swimming and fishing. Alone, one car wash fundraiser event may not create a significant adverse environmental impact. But, collectively, car wash fundraiser events can contribute large amounts of polluted wash water to our local waterways.
The City has a document that explains the water quality concerns and outlines steps that should be taken to protect our environment when conducting a car wash fundraiser event in our community. It can be found here.

Aunt Maggie's Slippers
This pattern is available for free.
From the website:
I have been looking all over for a pattern like the slippers Aunt Maggie and my mom used to make and I finally found one in an old pattern book from the 40's, and I have posted my adaptations to make it easier!
There is no specific yarn called out for in the pattern, any worsted weight will do. It can be used single or doubled. Using a double strand of worsted weight is recommended by the author.
1 strand: 4 sts and 8 rows = 1 inch on US9 needles
2 strands: 3.5 sts and 7 rows = 1 inch on US9 needles
These slippers are knit flat and seamed at the instep and heel.
EDIT- Aug 2013: I've added directions to make the 'minion character' slippers. Bev

In a recent interview with Siliconera, Producer Hiroaki Kato (Ivalice Alliance, Madworld, Dissidia) hinted a few things during the interview. Namely that the new Final Fantasy XII: Zodiace Age may see some expansion and other improvements to the games job system. While he never specifies any specific changes, he does go onto to talk about Executive Producer Hiroyuki Ito's usual desire to tinker with the gameplay mechanics first when thinking about changes they would do to Ivalice.
So what changes would you like to see?

Re: BB unli surf to NON bb unlisurf possible without losing BB phone?hcescala May 9, 2013 6:29 AM (in response to mikedp5)@mikedp5 Dakota model requires BB Unlisurf somehow you have no choice since it is mandatory, your 1700 Peso Value will be deducted every month with BB unlisurf 599 as combo since the surf 50MB is not allowed also. sad to say unlisurf is not allowed also to Dakota when i try availing it at globe.com.ph best ever plan. So it means your tied up with BB599 until your contract ends. For clarifications tweet @talk2globe.
So you might want to get another phone that is non blackberry to enjoy Unlisurf on any device or try Z10
Re: BB unli surf to NON bb unlisurf possible without losing BB phone?blu4 May 13, 2013 10:18 PM (in response to mikedp5)Dakota needs the BlackBerry unlisurf to work while for z10 the usual 999 unlisurf will work same as the other handsets (apple or android). So if you're going to use your sim in an android phone and use data, get z10. Though z10 uses a micro sim (not the usual mini sim)

"Mindless" vandals have destroyed a play area which the children of the community had used for a decade in a suspected arson attack.
The community has rallied together to begin raising the £40,000 needed to replace the playground in Jubilee Park, in Fangfoss, after it was turned to ashes in a 'devastating' fire.
All that remains of the wooden play structure is the remnants of the slide and part of the swing set.
The replacement and clear up of the site is expected to cost £40,000 as it is looks "more like months than weeks" before a replacement is installed.
A Just Giving page has been set up following the fire in the early hours of Sunday May 7 which has already raised more than £2,500.
Pamela Broughton, a Jubilee Park volunteer, said: "It's just devastating. The park is run by volunteers. Everything that's in there we have had to raise money for, it's just a beautiful park. It was a big shock for everyone."
A dog walker discovered the fire at around 7am on Sunday morning (May 7) and Humberside Fire and Rescue were called. Mrs Broughton received the news and raced down to the park, along with many others who have supported and used it for years.
She said: "I didn't imagine that the whole thing would be gone.
"Your heart sinks, so many people have put so much work into it. What's happened is just so mindless.
"I just wanted to stand there and cry."
It is believed arsonists also targeted the new under-fives play area which was officially opened just last month. Mrs Broughton added: "It is just charred so thankfully children can continue to use it."
More than 100 people have donated since the incident on Sunday.
"The response has been wonderful," she said. "When you've had something so terrible happen you tend to just see the bad side of people, but so many people have been so supportive and are willing to give up their time and money. It's just wonderful."
In a letter sent to resident, Bob Broughton, of Jubilee Park Committee, said: "The equipment was not insured as the cost was prohibitively high and unfortunately it is likely that the park will be without it for a number of months."
He added: "We will rise from the ashes!"
One supporter wrote: "So sad that anyone can be so unkind. Everyone works so hard there."
While another posted: "Couldn't believe the news and so saddened that someone would destroy something that has brought my family and the community I live in so much pleasure."
Humberside Fire and Rescue has confirmed the fire was caused deliberately.
A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "Investigations are underway and the fire is being treated as arson."

I hawe alsow been waitin for the E55 to come out, and now i must admit that i am kinda fed up with waiting.
So im thinking about waiting for the E72(mybe it will never come out, considering the E55...)
Anyway i think that nokia isnt fair to us consumers. Alsow with the E71, it says on the NOKIA main webside, that its awalible in BLACK, yet i have not seen, not one, black nokia E71, so dare i say... WTF NOKIA?!?!
NOKIA tell us whats wrong and why you didnt launche the E55, dont let us sit in the dark waiting... like fools...
Otherwise i would say, that many pepole, including me, will go to a different brandname.
elina, 21 Jun 2009e55 seems not launched indonesia..i didn't see it in nokia indonesia official website..why nok... moree55 seems not launched indonesia..i didn't see it in nokia indonesia official website..why nokia??i hope that i'm wrong..
They never put it there in the first place and then removed it right? There still hope however slim I'll take my chances. Are you still with your N82? my wife bought a good second hand still with warranty (no new one available). It's very nice phone but two days ago the earphone broke (no voice). I took it to nokia care and they fixed it on the spot.. two hours later it's back to normal.
Hi Nokia! E series is for business which does not base on office or ppt, it is very important to have all specifications on E series as businessman needs everything: high pixel camera 5M at least for now(8M or 12M would be superb), autofocus, video 30fps, flash, high CPU 600 - 1200MHz, 250-500MB RAM, high music quality, high speed connection, more network bands (850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100), fast GPS, high power battery, support all 3rd party applications, WIFI, and other standards. If all these high specifications available in Nokia, E series is worth for all businessmen of the 5continents like merchants, archictects, designers, engineers, reporters, students, professors, civil servants, and hundred more occupations. Please Nokia, change all Nokia products to the above mention spec. as it is high-tech era now. I am sure Nokia can produce this product!
I have been silently waiting for the E55 like many. Until the last few days nokia website had displayed E55 as an upcoming model. I was shocked and dissappointed to see that it no longer exists in their website. Have they withdrawn the launch for some reason? Very dissappointing !
There is a Problem in processor,Don't buy ignore it.Better Go For Other............
Paul, 29 Jun 2009I'll wait till the end of July for this handset, if it's not out I'll look at something else. ... moreI think by the end of July is too long. We are as their customers should react to Nokia that this is not a good and fair strategies for their customers - keep us waiting for too too long. For me I bought another brand which I'm very satisfied with my new mobile now.
I am waiting for this phone since long Q2 is ended but still this phone is not launched. Any one has idea when this phone is launched?

The whole point of our self-guided walking holidays is for you to experience different places, lands, peoples, cultures, customs and landscapes for yourself – and at your own pace – without the obvious disadvantages of being part of a group, and subject to the whims and fancies of the majority. (I can't think of anything worse!)
However, there are some places where having a local expert to guide you is essential – and on our walking holidays to the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India (on which we work with Village Ways) we feel that the guides are, in fact, an integral part of the whole experience. (Team photo: courtesy Village Ways.)
Having been brought up in the communities between which they will guide you, they are extremely knowledgeable about not only the most interesting paths to follow, but also which places along the route offer the best chance to encounter 'secret' India, in particular birds, flowers or animals.
Not that this means you have to join a group. On arrival at the first village, you will be introduced to your very own guide who will accompany you for your time in the hills, blending discretely into the community each evening, but being there each morning, smiling and ready to tailor the next day's walking to your wishes. (Picture right: Hem and Harish identify a leopard 'scratch' on one of the trails.)
They walk at your pace, stop when you want to, offer fascinating insights into the local flora and fauna, customs and language, and act as your friendly interpreter throughout your stay. Local people regard it as a great privilege to be selected, as the guides receive training from Village Ways in skills such as hospitality and conversational English.
The guides act as ambassadors for the rural communities: some are sons or daughters of farmers, some are studying through distance-learning courses and others have experience as trekking guides. (Picture left: Purin and Sher, two of your guides in the Saryu Valley.)
They are, in fact, self-employed and take with them guidebooks, binoculars, first aid kits and other equipment on loan from Village Ways. Santosh Joshi, a guide from Dalar in the Binsar Sanctuary, explains: "In 2007 I joined Village Ways because it is a project that involves everyone from the villages with equally shared benefits, and I am now able to live in the family home". One thing that stands out is their great enthusiasm and love of the natural environment of their homeland, and the fact (ok, so that's two) that they are able to stay and work in the villages they were brought up in. Being local people, they know everyone and so walking gives you a chance to meet their family and friends.
And we're delighted to say that their hard work doesn't go unnoticed by our customers. Mrs H of Chertsey fondly recalls her guides, Yashpal and Khim, who "were very kind and attentive – Kim especially being sensitive to the speed at which we walked and adjusting his pace to match our faltering steps. He was extremely thoughtful." Mrs JM Tumelty of Lancashire concurs, telling us that "our guides were excellent, had superb knowledge of the local wildlife and great skill in finding birds, animals and plants for us to see, and also introduced us to their families, local people and way of life." (These two images: on the trail between Khali and Kathdhara with Hem and Harish.)
The efforts and courteousness of the transfer drivers also receive high praise, as epitomised by Mr Peters of Cambridgeshire who told us, "Our driver for eight hours' sightseeing in Delhi – Chhatur Singh – was very considerate and gave us sensible advice. He took care of us including taking us to an excellent restaurant. The other transfer drivers were all very good and obviously experienced at coping with somewhat scary road conditions. We felt safe in their hands."
Which is how we want you to feel – in safe hands.
(Picture: Tara, one of the female guides.)

Buy Local: The Bexley Farmers' Market
While incoming students learn about the reputation of the nearby Kroger and Walmart, students might be wondering where else they can buy their food. Are they stuck paying the sometimes unreasonable Market District prices, or is there another alternative?
The Bexley Farmers' Market provides a healthy and sustainable option for both Capital University students and Bexley community members. Just a short walk from campus at the corner of Dawson and Main, the Bexley Farmers' Market is held every Thursday from 4-7 p.m., from May to October.
The market is a vision of community and has been in operation since 2011. Blocked off from the rest of the neighborhood, as many as 20 producers line the brick-paved street. Visitors are welcomed by live music, as well as the opportunity to escape schoolwork or even just the traffic of Main Street.
The Bexley Farmers' Market's mission statement is to provide access to local foods; assist area farmers, producers, and artisans with sustainable business opportunities; further the economic development of the community; educate the public and promote healthy living; and to serve as a community-gathering place to build community spirit.
Jaime Moore of Wayward Seed Farm is at the heart of the Market. Located next to the information booth, Moore serves two roles: as a producer and the market manager.
Moore grew up in Fremont, a farming town, and got her start picking fruit in the summer and canning with her mother and grandmother growing up. Moore, an OSU graduate, got involved with the North Market, and eventually she and her business partner, Adam Welly, came up with the idea for Wayward Seed Farm. Wayward Seed Farm has been in operation since 2006 and sells a variety of vegetables and fall storage crops at not only the Bexley Farmers' Market, but also at the Worthington Farmers' Market and several Columbus based grocery stores and restaurants.
When asked what "buy local" means to her, Moore responded, "'Buy local' is more than taking people's word for it."
She acknowledges that "buy local" can be challenging idea, but she invites consumers to ask more questions saying, "there are no stupid questions." At a farmers' market, there is a comfort in knowing that you can get to the bottom of what you are buying, you can ask about a producer's farming practices, and you can be certain that you are receiving a quality product.
Recommended: Her kale and tomatoes look amazing. Also, talk to her about anything. Moore has a wonderful personality and an amazing story!
Barry Keller of SaraBee Pure Honey offers a sweet look at how to treat your seasonal allergies. SaraBee Pure Honey is a family owned and operated business from Circleville. The name was chosen after Berry and Shelby Keller's daughter Sarah.
Keller and his wife both work full-time jobs but started beekeeping nine years ago out of a desire to produce their own honey. Now, with over 50 beehives, they have turned it into a business. Their honey is harvested twice a year, and they offer "Summer Weather" and "Fall" honey accordingly.
SaraBee Pure Honey can also be found at the Hilliard, Worthington, and Powell Farmers' Markets. Keller is excellent with kids, loves to hand out samples, and educates both kids and adults about bees and honey bee awareness.
Keller keeps a Columbus Dispatch paper out at his booth to show customers what the allergy report is for the week. A large portion of SaraBee's business is from people looking to treat their seasonal allergies. Keller explains that "honey that is harvested locally is able to offset some of those [seasonal] allergies and help build up their immune systems."
Recommended: Check out the Fall Honey if you are experiencing seasonal allergies, but also because it tastes fantastic!
Larry Todd, aka Tie Dye Larry, offers a way to brighten up your day and even your dorm room with his tie-dye creations. Todd got started in tie-dye through helping a friend with his tie-dye business. Todd has been selling his own products since 2012 after retiring from a sales job of selling mostly pool tables. A Bexley local, Todd also sells his products on Facebook, at flea markets, and at nearby fairs and festivals.
When asked what "buy local" meant to him, Larry explained, "'Buy local' means keeping money in the community, which is going to help any community prosper and grow."
Recommended: Check out his tapestries, or his large collection of scarlet and gray t-shirts.
Stephanie Kennedy of Kennedy Farms offers a variety of products and is a great resource to learn about eco-farming. Kennedy, originally from Texas, grew up in a tenant farming family. Kennedy did a stint in Cameroon on an agricultural development project, helped with the "Buy Fresh Buy Local" movement in California and got involved with farmers' markets through a co-op and getting to know Jaime Moore at the Worthington Farmers' Market. Kennedy is in her fifth season of farming, and is assisted by Jonathan Ryan and Mark Star.
Based in Cable, Ohio, Kennedy Farms is a ten-acre eco-farm that specializes in honey, free-range eggs, and chemical-free produce. She explained that eco-farming is "working with the ecology of the farm," and that it is "more than organic." Kennedy Farm's products can also be found at the Bellefontaine Farmers' Market and Logan County Restaurant.
When asked what "buy local" meant to her, she explained, "'Buy local' is more than what is grown in Columbus, it's what is half an hour away, an hour away."
She explained through her work with the "Buy Fresh Buy Local" movement in California, that "buy local" is about education and supporting the local economy
Recommended: Check out her flowers and try her pesto!
The producers of The Bexley Farmers' Market offer a face to the "Buy Local" movement. The Bexley Farmers' Market is great because it brings the community together. It is an excellent resource for Capital students to start making eco-conscious purchases, ask questions about sustainable farming practices, and contribute to the local economy. It's a great way to spend a Thursday evening; you never know what you will end up buying, or who you might end up meeting.

Clay Pipkin: Acoustical Engineering & Music Major, Violist.
1.6 Billion people, about 25% of the world's population, don't have access to clean water- that's five times the population of the United States of America. More people die from unsafe water than from all forms of violence, including war.
On January 7th 2010, I lead an Engineers Without Borders assessment/ implementation trip with ten of my peers and four professors to a small village in Abheypur, India. For the majority of the students travelling, it their first time seeing poverty beyond that of what is seen in America.
-before EWB, this pump was the primary source of drinking water for the villagers. Women would wait in line for hours hoping for electricity to power the pump. If the power cut out before they got their share, they were out of luck.
Throughout history, NGO's and other help groups have gone into countries and communities trying to make a difference, but often do more dammage than actual good. An example would be Goodwill in the late 1970's. They offered a massive donation of clothing to various communities in Kenya. It sounds great that they could offer goods to people in need, however in doing so, they destroyed an entire clothing and farming industry.
EWB works towards trying to make sure our projects have a lasting and sustainable impact.
I'll post again sometime soon telling more about what happened on my specific trip, how we ensure our projects are sustainable, and how I felt about the work I was doing.
In the meantime, check out last year's video:

The proposal sees the Airlink and low-cost FlySafair airlines and Safair's other businesses, including humanitarian aid flights, continuing to operate separately under their unique brands.
In a joint statement, the airlines said they would retain their respective products, aircraft fleets, management and leadership teams, and employees secured with no job losses because of the consolidation.
Airlink chief executive and managing director Rodger Foster said Airlink's acquisition of Safair, which is financially robust and profitable, made good business sense. "It presents opportunities to reduce our combined costs, position ourselves for growth, and increasing connectivity and choice while making air travel accessible and affordable for our customers across Southern Africa," Foster said.

"Our combined networks will enable us to connect 37 destinations in nine Southern African and Indian Ocean countries and St Helena. This will stimulate and enable trade, tourism, economic growth and social development in those markets we serve."
In addition, the proposed new ownership structure will see Airlink continue to meet - and in future exceed - South Africa's Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment targets.
The companies said the Safair purchase will not affect Airlink's existing SAA franchise partnership, which continues to deliver traffic and business to SAA and Airlink, while their customers benefit from the value, convenience and connectivity the arrangement provides.
Elmar Conradie, who will remain as Safair chief executive, said: "Coming under a single umbrella will create economies of scale that will enable both airlines to share costs, optimise assets and remove systems duplication. This will position the new Airlink Group for future growth," Conradie said.
If the deal goes through, Safair shareholder ASL Aviation Holdings will become a minority shareholder of the Airlink Group of companies. ASL Aviation Holdings is a global aviation group with six European and two Asian airlines in addition to its South African interests.
More details will be provided when the Competition Commission has made its determination.

ALCOA, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2018) --- Holston disaster relief workers delivered cleaning supplies to two Virginia locations this week to help residents whose homes and businesses were flooded.
The Rev. Harry Howe and Mark Stransky delivered 110 "cleaning kits" to Wise on Monday and 30 buckets to Hansonville on Tuesday. The kits (buckets) were assembled by Holston Conference churches in recent months and have been stored at Project Crossroads in Marion, Virginia.
The cleaning buckets were transported to Wise as the Appalachian District office prepared to respond to regional flooding. The Rev. Beth Tipton, Appalachian District disaster response coordinator, said the Coeburn fire department and a local student had already picked up buckets.
Tipton said she will deliver 20 buckets to Dickenson County emergency management today.
Tipton sent an email to Appalachian District pastors on Monday, offering the cleaning buckets and aid from trained emergency response workers after heavy rains caused flooding and mudslides.
"Please check with your parishioners, neighbors, and community members to see if this free clean-up aid is needed in your area," Tipton's email said.
"Some of the communities have been hit hard," said the Rev. Jeff Wright, Appalachian District superintendent. "Right now, I think most people are in the assessment stage and trying to figure out what is needed."
Thirty cleaning buckets were delivered to Hansonville after a Clinch Mountain District pastor, the Rev. Jim Lyttle, reported severe flooding in Russell County, Virginia.
"We have several road closures as well as parts of some towns blocked with water onto the roads and homes," Lyttle said in an email on Monday. "As of an hour ago, all churches on the Clinch Circuit were unaffected."
On Tuesday, Lyttle said that cleaning buckets from Holston Conference were given to the Emergency Management Coordinator for Russell County. "Keep us in your prayers as we strive to serve all God's children."
The Rev. Sandra Johnson, Clinch Mountain District superintendent, said she had spoken to Lyttle and also to the Rev. Brooke Atchley about flooding in the former Tazewell District, where Atchley serves as Church and Community Worker.
"[Brooke] was not aware of any flooding of homes but there are sheds and barns that have been affected in the Richlands area of Tazewell County," Johnson said.
Atchley said that flooding had occurred near Elk Garden School Community Ministry in Rosedale, Va.
"The creeks flooded below the Elk Garden school and across from the Elk Garden church. No water got in the church," Atchley said.
See Facebook video of Elk Garden flooding.
"We had some church members lose dog lots, sheds, and will have lots of yard cleanup from debris but no major structural damage. I did not have any requests for buckets on my end of Russell County or the upper end of the Clinch Mountain District," Atchley said.
Church groups are requested to begin assembling new cleaning buckets to replace the buckets distributed this week, said Jim Fetzer, Holston Conference disaster response coordinator.
Instructions for assembling the cleaning buckets (kits) – which include detergent, air freshener, scrub brushes, and sponges – are posted on UMCOR's web page. Contact the district office nearest you or firstname.lastname@example.com to find out where to deliver cleaning buckets.
In her email to Appalachian District pastors, Tipton said, "One of the beautiful things about the United Methodist Church is we are connected. Let's work together locally to respond to the needs following this flood event in our area."

You've all heard by now that The Foxy Lady has come to Brockton, MA. My buddy Lloyd and I decided to check it out. Of course, we had to go during the week of their Grand Opening because Jenna Jameson was there! The club is located up at the Westgate Mall, just behind Frank's restaurant. As I had told many people before going, I had to give the club my "Stamp of Approval." Well, as soon as we stepped in the door of the building, the two critics that we are, the list of complaints began. After about an hour being there, Lloyd and I were ready to leave. To quote Lloyd, "I was underwhelmed."
Let me put it this way. I spent in total $22. Let's break it down: $10 for admission, $5 for a soda and $7 for tipping some of the dancers. That's the entire evening! Had I not been thirsty, I would have spent less than 10-ones! Lloyd only spent $25: $10 for admission, $12 for a shoulder massage ($10 + $2 tip) and $3 for tipping a few dancers. Combine my total and Lloyd's and you have less than $50! Hello! That's nowhere near what we usually spend.
The place sucked. Even though it's much closer, it's worth the trip to travel to the club in Providence. I did NOT give my "Stamp of Approval." I give it two thumbs down.
I did not enjoy my time at this club. If you want to check the club out for yourself, feel free to do so and give us your opinion of it. You will be able to find me in Providence.
Feel free to send any questions, comments, etc. to
The Foxy Fellas.
Go Back

Yes, I am sad and have no life! Yes, I am aware I have just advertised my kittens, linking to this site and here I am writing about poop. I can't help it, I'm thrilled! (welcome, by the way, if you've popped over from an advert or on recommendation :) )
They are funny when they first start to go on their own though. They utter agonised howls, attracting the attention of Mama and the rest of the litter, and settle down on the litter with a look of absolute concentration. *snigger* It's pretty funny.
Brigitta and Kurt in the litter trays. Brigitta is sniffing a tissue I had just wiped up someone elses piddle with. She then promptly pooped in the tray herself. Hurrah!
Interestingly, this photo shows the difference in colour between Kurt and Brigitta. Brigitta does seem darker doesn't she? I had thought both were brown solids, but now I think Brigitta is a solid and Kurt is a mink. You can see that lovely colour around his shoulders that first led brown Tonks to be called the 'Golden Siamese'? Bear in mind a) I am a pants photographer, b) they are kitten-fluffy still but they WILL be sleek and glossy when older and c) it's mid-winter and the light quality is bad- imagine Kurt (or Liesl, or Brigitta for that matter) in the summer, in a beam of sunlight, with all that goldenness shining off a sleek coat... mmmmmm!
*I cannot keep another cat, I cannot keep another cat, I cannot....*

What was the last thing you bought?
The Grade 4 students
had their Holiday sale today.
They've just completed their
Unit of Inquiry
on supply and demand.
The students did some research
and were then asked
to bake or make something
they could sell
at the market.
I planned to support the
Grade 4 students
by buying a cupcake,
or brownie
or something sweet.
I never imagined to come across these.
But not just earrings,

And then,
of course,
I couldn't decide which pair to wear
so I wore one of each!

Bomb blasts in Oslo and a nearby island have killed at least 87 people, a Norwegian police spokesman told AFP on Saturday.
One attack took place at a youth camp on the island of Utoeya and seven others died in a powerful second bomb blast in central Oslo..
The attacker has been identified as a 32-year-old Norwegian. According to the TV2 channel, he has links to right-wing extremists and had two weapons registered in his own name.By appearance he is described by a police official as tall and blond.
"There was a lot of shooting … We hid under a bed. It was very terrifying," a young woman at the camp told British Sky television.No group has clearly claimed responsibility.Leader of main opposition party declared it a terror attack. Some analysts are pointing their fingers towards Al Qaeda-linked or inspired groups.
Such attacks have taken place across Europe which have claimed several innocent lives. European countries are thinking about their immigration policies about Muslims that can create hardship for peaceful and civilized Muslims .
It must be pointed out here that peaceful moderate Muslims themselves especially Pakistanis are the worst victims of this terrorism. They need help of the world to get the whole humanity out of this menace.

In the artistic world of music, harmony between conductor and orchestra is paramount.
But in one loud clash, two musicians have apparently been engaged in a feud which has lasted 16 years. Yesterday, details emerged of the discord between Carlo Rizzi, the world-renowned Italian conductor of the Welsh National Opera, and principal oboe player Murray Johnston.
Claims: Murray Johnston leaving the employment tribunal in Cardiff, left, and in action as principal oboist with the Wales National Orchestra
The 61-year-old claimed he was 'victimised, bullied, harassed and intimidated' by Mr Rizzi after once ordering him to 'stop singing'. The veteran oboist has been sacked after playing with the WNO for 34 years, performing in more than 50 recordings.
He is claiming wrongful dismissal, saying he was 'persistently abused' by Mr Rizzi, 50, who became musical director of the Cardiff-based company in 1992.
Their relationship 'never recovered' after a rehearsal two years later when Mr Johnston told Mr Rizzi to 'stop singing', an employment tribunal heard. The context of the order to the conductor, who had previously been at the Royal Opera Company, Covent Garden, was not explained.
But Nick Smith, for the oboist, said: 'Rizzi's behaviour was extreme on that day. He stormed off, locked himself in a room and kicked furniture about.'
Mr Johnston told the hearing he suffered bullying and intimidation by Mr Rizzi during his work with the 55-strong orchestra over the following years. The principal oboist had to re-audition for his job even though he had been doing it for decades.
Tribunal: Italian conductor Carlo Rizzi, who is accused of bullying Mr Jonston
Mr Johnston, of Radyr, Cardiff, told the hearing he passed his audition, but alleges he was subjected to an 'attack' by Mr Rizzi in front of the orchestra during a rehearsal.
'He stopped the rehearsal probably 20 or 30 times to criticise my playing. I felt victimised and bullied,' said the musician.
Mr Smith added that many orchestra members wrote letters to complain about Mr Rizzi's behaviour.
'The language of these letters was very, very strong,' he said.
'They are from numerous members of the union, some anonymous, some not.
'They accuse Mr Rizzi of intimidation and harassment, of even making one woman ill.'
The tribunal was told that Musicians' Union members wrote letters to opera managers 'expressing anger at the treatment of Mr Johnston'. A motion was also passed accusing Mr Rizzi of bullying.
WNO managing director Peter Bellingham denied Mr Johnston was unfairly dismissed.
He told the hearing that Mr Rizzi felt the oboist's standards had dropped to such a level, he was 'holding the entire orchestra back'.
Mr Rizzi, who has since left the WNO, will not be giving evidence. The hearing in Cardiff continues.

In the U.S., 3 million people a year suffer from mild to severe hemorrhoids. This is not a condition to be "cured" like a disease or a virus but a condition to be treated by surgery or other procedures. Dr. Murrell specializes in the state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment called Sclerotherapy. He has been providing this treatment for many years and prides himself on delivering some of the best non-invasive hemorrhoid treatment Los Angeles has to offer.
What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins and tissue located in the anal canal. They are caused by a build-up of pressure in the pelvic and rectal area. This pressure forces blood into the veins located in the anal canal where it pools and results in swelling.
Hemorrhoid Symptoms
Hemorrhoids can become so severe that the pain and discomfort they cause is unmistakable. Detecting this condition early on and receiving treatment such as Sclerotherapy by Dr. Murrell can prevent unnecessary pain and worry. Learn these symptoms so you can help detect this condition:
- Rectal bleeding. There may be bright red blood on the toilet paper, in the toilet bowl or on the stool itself.
- Itching. Internal hemorrhoids can leak mucus, which irritates the skin in the anus and causes itching.
- Intestinal discomfort. When you have just passed a bowel movement and feel the sensation of needing to again immediately afterwards, this can mean internal hemorrhoids. This feeling is caused by the hemorrhoids pressing onto each other in the anal canal.
- Irritated skin. When internal hemorrhoids become so large as to bulge out of the anus they can secrete mucus, which causes irritation.
- Painful rectum. Severe pain may mean that the blood supply to the area is being blocked or cut off. If this is the case emergency treatment is needed.
If you feel or observe any of these symptoms, contact Dr. Murrell right away. Early detection and treatment are key to a quick recovery and handling. Dr. Murrell has been voted Top Doctor for Colon and Rectal Surgeries in 2015. He received this award by providing some of the best non-invasive hemorrhoid treatment Beverly Hills has available.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a procedure used by millions of people to help decrease the appearance of inflamed varicose veins, spider veins and of course, hemorrhoids. A solution of quinine, polidocanol or zinc chloride is injected into the desired area. This solution then creates scar tissue in the veins that block the flow of blood. When used for treating hemorrhoids, this scar tissue reduces the blood supply and shrinks the hemorrhoid.
Why Sclerotherapy?
Other hemorrhoid treatments can be painful and require longer recovery times. A Hemorrhoidectomy for example, removes the hemorrhoid by surgery, which then requires the area to be sutured. Sclerotherapy is completely non-invasive and patients walk out of our clinic the same day.
Schedule a Consultation
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of hemorrhoids and want to find out if Sclerotherapy is right for you, your next step is a one-on-one private consultation with Dr. Murrell. You will be fully informed on all of your treatment options so you can make the best decision on the procedure that is right for you. Dr. Murrell provides some of the best minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatment Los Angeles and Beverly Hills have to offer. Dr. Murrell and his friendly staff look forward to hearing from you and are standing by to help.

The Skystream 3.7 wind turbine nacelle, generator and blades prove to be a fairly reliable asset within the turbine system which would allow for a viable upgrade retrofit. The key elements around the upgrade and retrofit are: the inverter, power curve, rpm limiter and slip rings. The major component of the upgrade is the ability to control the blade speed in high winds.
NTP Wind Power has designed a method to control the wind turbine during high winds although all the parts of the upgrade are key to the entire upgrade package.
The upgrade starts with a new 5 year warranty on the system upgrade components. The new upgrade parts are universal in the industry and will allow other turbines head to function with the new components.

This is Really Weird and not Good Weird.
I was digging for information-I remembered Katie Couric's husband who died from colon cancer. I just went hunting for information. Nothing in particular.
I found one line that hit me nicely.
They said(about Jay Monahan)that people used to joke that he had a 'roll of Tums in every pocket'.
You see what I have here in my car? A roll and two halves of Rolaids. I also used to pack The Pink Stuff in it's tablet form. I never knew what to expect.
Check your pockets. Get the test.
I had a private showing of my art on this fine day.
I made a drawing to bring to my Primary Care. I get kinda wound-up(understatement) sitting in the doctor's office(My Mah had white coat syndrome. She had to take her pressure at home.) and I cannot be trusted to remember everything, so I brought my own chart. Laugh if you will, she went out the door and came straight back in. She said: We forgot to talk about your foot!
So many of my systems went weirdly wacky on this road to wellness. (And it was a genius idea to check back in with the Primary Care-it was a Loyola nurse who suggested that when I couldn't get in to see a skin doc.)
I had throat things from the anesthesia. Terrible headaches from the connection to the throat things. Foot things possibly from hospital stuff. Weird skin things just from being in the hospital and random crazy sparkling pain from the incision site. Exhausting, really.
I like my Primary Care Doctor a lot. She's way smarter than I am and when she asked me if I wanted to go have a mammogram-I was like, are. you. kidding. me.
We agreed we can put that off till new year.
For weeks and weeks and weeks, I've had a ticket to go see something super cool and fun last night with Lindz but I haven't sat in a crowd yet and I just wasn't sure I was up to it. (Perfume worries me. Also bad drivers.) Last night, my new configuration gave me SEVEN(!) skips to the loo.
As you can see, my pipes and I-we are still working things out.

To Be Continued ...
Currently, my tube travel time reading is the short story - White Nights by Dostoyevsky.
Wait! Don't leave, I haven't betrayed chick lit and Bollywood. It has everything to do with Bollywood because there is a film that was made that is apparently based on the original Russian novel - it's called Saawariya and while I still have not seen the film, it has one of the most beautiful soundtracks I have ever heard in my life.
But I digress.
The story is about this guy who meets a girl while out walking at night time. She has been waiting for the man that she fell in love with a year ago, the one who promised that he would marry her one day, and that they would meet at that very spot, but he has not yet arrived.
The guy sees her and they become close friends (after saving her from being attacked in the street first). He has fallen in love with her, while she seems a little ignorant of the fact.
He confesses everything about how he feels to her when, after many nights of waiting together, she is angry that the man she fell in love with has not even bothered to get in contact with her.
She tells her friend that she will get over the love of her life and she does love her friend as well. They start to plan their entire future together.
Suddenly a man walks past and stares at the two of them together and then walks off.
It was the one she has been waiting for.
'This is [tube station]'
I had to stop reading and get off the train.
I don't know why I decided to blog about it instead of reading about it as soon as I entered the house.
[Edit at 18.30] I finished the story.

I love White Nights. It was the first Dostoyevsky I ever read.
Hope you're feeling better! You're brave, reading through your entire novel from the beginning. I'm going to have to do that as soon as this round of edits is over, but I'm scared...

It's the first one I have read as well. Not because of the film, I thought it sounded like a beautiful story.
I'm so glad you read it too. While I loved the story, when I finished the book it made me want to be in a literature class just so I could legitimately complain and say 'what a bitch!'.
What did you think?
- 22 July 2011 at 12:36
- Deniz Bevan said...
I can't remember Naina! It's probably time I reread it. All I recall is the mood of the story, which really appealed to me at the time.

Just read through the letter at the end. I was reading it and thinking that she was fickle and self-centred. I know he wanted her to be happy but she really annoyed me.

Fragmentation is a major theme in my artwork. Because of a class I'm taking, I've been trying to identify the themes and recurring motifs in my artwork in hopes of creating a body of related work to exhibit someday. Someone once asked me why so many of my pieces are "dark" or perhaps troubled. It's interesting because when I used to do more representational watercolour paintings, I often became very frustrated with the process even though the outcome appeared pretty or pleasant. When I switched to using mixed media, I found the process more of a release; self-expression. Perhaps the undoing of layers and masks. I noticed that many of the paintings contain some sort of grid. Is it a way of trying to create order?
I also tend to incorporate dried plants–like a stalk of soybeans–into my paintings. These fragments of my rural upbringing are juxtaposed against the more urban, industrial textures of lines, blocks, and tones. Perhaps it is an effort to fit memories of the landscape that once grounded me into the chaos of my currently fast-paced city life.
Creating a new body of work on one theme will help me overcome the challenge of trying to say too much on the same canvas. Most of my mixed media experiments to date have ended up overworked or lacking unity. Knowing that I have ten or twenty canvases to use to make a point or to try different versions of the same thing should free me up considerably.
…Now if only I had somewhere to paint. I made a tablecloth out of my paper Plenty shopping bags to protect the kitchen table. I guess it will have to do for now.
