Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 12/02/2012
Sometimes theology is more than attempting to describe attributes of God and the Christian life. In fact, all of the time it is important to praise God for who He is and what He has done.
The poem for today is just that, a celebration of what He has made. As some friends and I were watching a sunset from the side of a mountain over a beautiful glade in the northern part of Arizona, I said, "I wish I had a camera to catch this beauty." My friend exclaimed quietly, "You do! Mister poet, use your words!" So I did:
Sunset Point
Purple mountain majesty does not begin explain
the sunlight pouring over mountains and shining through the rain.
The darkness of the east encroaching on the horizon,
with impossible rainbows reminding of promises of God.
The mountainsides glistening in the refreshing drizzle,
and the setting sunlight refracting through each sprinkle.
The sun glowing red as it sinks lower in the sky;
The blues, reds, and purples of clouds reflecting the shine.
With the edge of the clouds nearing the far off peaks,
and rain leaking from them making it hard to speak.
The curl towards the sunset seems as an eyelid closing
and the sun going down beneath make it look as if God were dozing;
closing His eyes at the end of another beautiful day,
revealing His majesty in the blues, oranges, reds, and grays.
The hills beneath the sky rolling under the searing light
with the gently falling rain creating the most amazing sight.
The greens and browns temporarily alit with rainbows
make the scene shine all the more wonderful.
Towering mountains and cumulonimbus
overwhelming all of the senses;
the smell of the rain, the sounds of the wind in the trees,
the feel and sight of creation moving mightily.
Catching a sunset over the prominent mountains
and seeing God in the masterpiece of His Creation,
moving the hardest heart to stop and ponder
the beauty of this amazing natural wonder.
No human paintbrush could ever invent
the colorful palate of this environment.
No human mind would ever conceive
the rays sifting through rain and trees,
changing the landscape each passing moment
into a more breathtaking wonderment.
God barely trying in His fanciful play,
moving light through the falling spray
makes a more picturesque scene
than any man could ever hope to dream.
His creation proving to be far superior
to anything man has tried to manufacture.
The jutting peaks poking into floating clouds
with rain and sunlight falling mingled down,
and trees and grass and sand down below
expertly catching every delicate blow.
As the sun finally disappears behind the hills,
like seeing the dust fly up from God's doorsill,
is the last drops of rain skipping off the light beams,
and the clouds and earth coming together to meet.
As the darkness overtakes the sky and terrain,
and the clouds block out the sun's final rays,
the rain begins to slow and then diminish
and the day come to an end in a glorious finish.
Taken from deeper words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m klem, pages 210-220.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to spend a week in Norfolk with Stuart before I went back to work. He is staying in the beautiful village of Fincham, which is close to the RAF base where he is working.
Until the age of 18 I was bought up in a tiny village in the Midlands which I hated, everyone knew everyone else's business and they remembered everything. I applied to Universities in London so that I could leave the village and experience city life, I ended up with the best of both worlds - I lived in Trent Park, a beautiful area surrounded by grass, deer and squirrels but I was only 30 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of central London. After graduating I went from London to Manchester, and absolutely fell in love. Manchester had everything I needed, shops, art, entertainment and most importantly I made some great friends up there. I never thought I would want to live in a village again, however aged 26 I find myself longing for the connections you have in a small place - knowing who your neighbours are and knowing you can knock on there door whenever you need help. Should Stuart get the job in Norfolk we will be making a permanent move up there, setting down roots and finding our own way in this game of life and I for one cannot wait! My few brief trips up there have been breathtaking and I look forward to exploring more of the Norfolk countryside.

My sisters Christmas gift
I created a bunch of all occasion cards for my sister for Christmas. They were included in a little bag with a bunch of other goodies. I tried to give her a variety of cards. I love doing scenes as they are very versatile cards. Shown are several of the cards I gave her. All stamp sets are from Gina K Designs. The card stock is also the Gina K Design pure luxury card stock. Enjoy.
This was a fun card for someone who likes to fish.
This card is stamped with purple ink then I added clear embossing powder. I then colored the flowers with a yellow crayon and then used distressed inks over the top. I love how this turned out!
This is such a quick and easy card - but so pretty! This is a single stamp that I inked up with memento rose bud ink. Put a pretty ribbon around it, layer it, and stick it on a card base and its ready to go!
For this card I used my crayola markers and thumped on the stamp. I love the varied colors this technique gives. I used a cuttlebug folder to emboss the background. I ink the folder then ran it through to emboss. Such a great way to make a background that matches.
This is such a pretty card. I used this fabulous pattern paper with the cardinal image.
That's all for today - but I'll be back in a couple of days with more cards that I made for my sister. Coming up ~ some fun kid cards.
Thanks for visiting

Is There A Mechanic In The House?
Guest posted a question in General Forum.I need help from a qualified automobile mechanic. If you play games most of your time but you're a mechanic please help: I have a 94 Toyota Corolla DX 4-dr. and can't get it out of Park. I've pressed the override button on the side and it's completely locked - won't move -- without transportation, I'm hit! Now I've already searched the internet for an answer but still I haven't been able to find out how to dismantle the cover so I can push some kind of button to at least release it out of park. Obviously, I can't go to an auto repair shop to have this done -- Can someone take the time to walk me through this process, please? All I need to do is get it out of Park so I can drive it to the repair shop to see if I have a short somewhere or whatever a mechanic does to fix #$@^. Feel me? I could go outside and do every step you take me through and come back with any problems. I need to do this myself as it sounds as though it would be an easy process and would save me a considerable amount of "cheese".

I hadn't listened to hip-hop in a while and started the day with Beck radio again and switched to Mos Def after an hour or so. This is a great station. All the regulars are here, including: Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Dilated Peoples, Fugees; and also welcomed appearances by Atmosphere, Lupe Fiasco, Gangstarr and more. The vibe stayed strong and lively pretty much the entire time.
Pandora played "Modern Marvel," by Mos, early on, a song I love but did not always have the patience to listen to all the way through. I have been painting my bathroom all day, and so had no problem letting the song play. It was beautiful, and really took me back to when The New Danger first came out, and it was so different, I didn't know what to make of it. A while later, "Just Like Music" by Erick Sermon, which also features a haunting Marvin Gaye sample, played and brought it back around to the Mos Def track.
Unfortunately, I have not taken the time to listen to Mos' latest, The Ecstatic. The first song the Genome Project selected was a track from that album called "Life in Marvelous Times," which surprised me with its original and upbeat sound. I had all but given up on Mos after his last effort, True Magic, which has some interesting material but it ends up disappointing. When "Thug is a Drug," the only song Pandora retrieved from that album, thank goodness, played, I had to skip it because it was sounded so out of place.
I swear it was as if Pandora and I were in tune to each others' inner thoughts and feelings. One song played that reminded me of a Nas song called "Undying Love." I wished that song would play next, but instead, several songs later, "You're Da Man" came on, which has a similar, intense, dark, beat, and isn't as terryfying as "U.L." "N.Y." state of mind also came on.
Atmosphere is another one of those artist I've heard great things about but haven't really delved into. "When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold," was one of the best songs I heard today. I thinkI used to resent his nasal delivery, but now I really like his lyrics and his beats.
"The Mask," by the Fugees was another one of my favorites, and several songs by Gangstarr hit the spot, as well. Good Station for any occasion.

The time had finally arrived. The day they'd all been waiting for weeks to arrive. They dreamed of it. They saved for it. Well, Kolby just asked his parents for the money. They salivated on their calendars when they saw how quickly the day was approaching. They planned to take off from work and school weeks ago. Finally. It was here! The festival of all festivals! Con of all cons! GEEK CON!
They were so ready. Ready for what? Kick butt and take names in the video game corner. Enter the hack-a-thon. Buy sweet swag. And, of course, take selfies with all of their favorite cos-players. It was going to be EPIC. Shortly after they arrived, they were meandering through the park, looking at all the exhibits and mapping out a plan for their day when out of the corner of their eye they all saw someone they desperately wanted to see. They made a run for it, arguing among themselves about why he should be the first one to take a selfie. Yuki and Tim didn't care too much.
Lester wasn't the fastest, but he was the closest and walked up to the cos-player to request a selfie. The others kicked themselves for not being first and gave up on the idea all together. Kolby hadn't been to San Myshuno yet and saw something across the street he very much liked. For some reason, the other guys followed him too.
Geek Con wasn't really Tim's thing. He played video games occasionally, but he wasn't obsessed with them like they were. Lester had invited him last week and thought it would be cool to hangout with a group of friends. He liked being there with them, but he couldn't help but be concerned about that thing Uncle Tony asked him to do that he should have been doing but wasn't. Hopefully he would have time later.
"Hey, so like, can I take a picture with you?"
"Look, kid, I'm here at the festival just like you. I'm not the real Darth Maul, and I don't know you. Get outta here!"
Lester knew that, of course, but he still managed to be upset.
A woman dressed as Llama Woman was coming up behind Darth Maul and happened to overhear the conversation. She understood what the man was saying, but she felt like he was quite rude about it. "Hey! I'm no Llama Man, but how about a picture with me?"
"Yeah…sure. Thanks." He tilted his camera up enough to get Darth Maul in the shot as well.
Lester didn't realize he had lost his friends and immediately entered himself into the hack-a-thon. His programming skills weren't up to par to even be close to winning, but he had to try.
Meanwhile, across the street, Kolby was in music lover heaven at the karaoke bar. He still loved to play the piano and was getting better and better every day, but lately he had gotten into singing. He poured his heart and soul into the songs he wrong on the piano, but they were nothing compared to using his body as the instrument. Singing made him feel alive, and he could feel the passion in places the piano hadn't reached yet. It wasn't very customary to sing along with the karaoke stars, but he couldn't help it. The singer didn't seem to mind though. She actually encouraged it.
Tim sat at the table behind him, so he paused his private concert to join him. Apparently he thought singing was dumb.
"Whaaaaat?" Kolby was shocked. "You gotta learn to sing, man! Girls dig it when you sing to 'em."
Tim was intrigued by this.
Back outside, Lester still hadn't realized he was alone, but he was enjoying himself. It seemed fly guy was back for a brief visit.
Someone was watching him to speak to all the ladies who passed by and found him to be amusing. "Hey lil brother. You're gonna wear your mack out if you try to holla at every woman here!"
After Lester finished his lunch, he began to wonder where his friends were. He looked all over the place and could not them. Before he gave up and went home without them, he figured he'd check the karaoke bar just in case. There they all were. Tim and Lester were still talking at the table, and Hugo's wife had showed up a few hours before.
"DUDE! We waited all this time and paid all this money and you guys spend the whole here? Singing? What's wrong with you guys?"
"Singing gets girls," Tim said happily.
Lester snorted. "That's a bunch of–" he was interrupted by a text that just about stopped his heart. "Speaking of girls…it looks like I've got a hot date to get to! Later, losers!"
"Date? Who's dating him?" Kolby asked.
Tim laughed.
Lester made his way to the Blue Velvet nightclub. It seemed every time he went there he was looking for the same thing: companionship. Perhaps it was his lucky place. Eventually everything works out for him there. The place was crowded, and he didn't see Shea anywhere. He had to pee and figured he could continue his search when he got back. She was coming down the stairs as he was going up.
"Oh, you're here," she said.
"Hey, kitten."
She rolled her eyes. "I hope no one snagged the table I was sitting at."
She led him there and found that it was still available. In a matter of seconds, everyone made a mad dash to the bar and the room was deserted.
"So where were you? I wasn't expecting you to get here so fast."
"I was at Geek Con with my friends."
"Geek Con! You didn't invite me?"
"I didn't think you were into that stuff."
"I'm not, but I would have loved to decline the invitation."
They laughed. He was happy that things weren't awkward between them. It was as if the other night didn't happen.
"Honestly," he began, "I wasn't sure if you'd want to see me again." His cheeks were growing red and hot.
She wasn't sure where to take the conversation from there. Discussing feelings was not something she wanted to do, and she disregarded his remark. "You didn't have to rush here, you know," she said. "I would have understood you wanted to be with your friends."
He was glad for the subject change. "Meh. It was gonna be over in an hour, and I'd rather hangout with you anyway."
She asked him if he wanted to dance, and they did. She didn't take her eyes off him the entire time. He danced so horribly yet he didn't seem to care what anyone thought, and she admired that. It was a quality she wished existed in her own life. She especially could have used that mindset in high school as he was pursuing her. He was "that guy" no girl wanted to be caught dead with, yet she found herself secretly intrigued by him. If she weren't so concerned about what her girlfriends thought, perhaps they could have been together for a while by then.
Lester could feel her gazing upon him, and that's when he knew. Despite what she said, she was totally into him, and she wasn't going anywhere. All the pressure he put on himself about kissing her and wondering if she wanted to see him again was silly. She clearly wanted to be with him, and when the time was right–and he was comfortable–he'd kiss her, and it would be perfect. So, he stopped thinking about it and enjoyed his time with her. After a few songs, he was thirsty and said he would buy them some drinks. Although he had been a young adult for about a week, up until then, he hadn't done anything that made him feel less like a child. Standing at a crowded bar buying drinks for he and his date definitely made him feel more like a man.
With drinks in hand, he carefully made his way back to the club area, but Shea was gone. She wanted some fresh air and stepped outside.
"There you are," he said. "I thought you snuck out through the bathroom or something." He handed her a glass of the finest nectar the bar had to offer.
"Just trying to keep you on you toes." She winked at him and took a sip. "This is good. I didn't peg you as a nectar guy."
"Yeah. I'm a bit of a snob under all this awkwardness. I have opinions about everything."
"Hmmm, is that right? So… What's your opinion of me?"
She had no idea what she just opened herself up for. Lester had no qualms about expressing how he felt despite her request for no mushy stuff.
"Have a seat. I'll tell you."

Bengals third-round pick WR Mohamed Sanu has been working at a number positions during the the teams' rookie minicamp.
"We're still figuring it out," said offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, via CBSSports.com. "We're trying to give him as much as he can handle from outside-inside, see what he is good at and what he is comfortable with."
Sanu was a possession receiver for Rutgers in the past few years, so it would make sense to see him used in a similar capacity with the Bengals this season.

Family Fun Day
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).
St Paul's Church's family fun day was organized on Sunday 24th July at St Andrews School, Rose-Hill. The event provided the perfect occasion for everyone to have a good time after a long week at work, for most of us, and at the same time build harmony and foster good relationships among Church members.
The day started at 10'oclock with a celebration in the small auditorium during which Reverend Eric preached about John 21:15-25. Everyone broke for lunch soon after and got prepared for the eagerly awaited games.
The organisers had chosen a total of 5 games in which everyone, even the non-sporty types, would be able to participate. Consequently, six categories were established:
(i) Standard I to III
(ii) Standard IV to VI
(iii) Form I to III
(iv) Form IV to VI
(v) Open < 40
(vi) Open > 40
The games opened with the Spoon Race. The spectators gathered to the side of the large football pitch happily watched as the participants were all doing their best to hold a ping pong ball in equilibrium on a spoon using only their mouth whilst walking from one end to the other.
The winners of each category were given their well-earned medals straight after the end of the race. Most of them were overjoyed upon receiving the coveted gold medal and were asked to give their impression at winning.
While some of the boys were having an improvised out-of-competition football match further up the pitch, the next games that followed were the "Course-à-deux", a foot race, the musical surprise box and the inevitable tug-of-war. The Musical Surprise Box game was specially reserved for those who did not participate in any of the previous games. The tug-of-war in particular grabbed the attention of the crowd due to its high intensity which was reflected in the facial expressions of the participants and the loud encouragement of the onlookers.
The end of this memorable day came too soon for those present as brothers and sisters in Christ spent a great time together, sharing victories, laughter and fun. The medals brought by individual and team victories were not the determining factor for this successful day. What mattered the most is that a great fellowship time was spent by members of God's big family, the Church.
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
(John 13:35)

Tsunami relief
My beloved friend and fellow sky watcher and I have been pondering the whole "waiting on God" part of the Christian life. Like Peter we are sitting in the boat, and the storm is raging. The question is, step out and walk by faith to Christ or sit in the boat and wait for Him to come to you? The answer is yes. Both. It depends. I am prone to jump out of the boat and walk by faith at the wrong place and the wrong time. Here comes a tsunami. Jesus is nowhere in sight, and I leap from the vessel, tired of waiting on Him, valiantly planning to succeed on my own. I am crushed beneath a wall of water (or circumstances, problems, call it what you will) and wash up mostly dead on the beach. He picks up my ragged carcass and says, "Why did you do that?" I have no response. Take two, He is walking toward me on the water and beckons. I pretend I don't see Him. I don't have my glasses on, so He must be pointing at someone else. He calls my name, but I shake my head. Everyone knows when you don't have on your glasses, you can't hear either. I'm not ready to get out of the comfort zone. People drown in deep water, Lord. There are sharks. Slimy things might touch my legs. I have an itemized list of why it's a bad idea. Do you want it alphabetical or chronological? He looks at me again, will I come and join the dance? "Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won' t you, won' t you join the dance?" I sit this one out. "Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the dance.*" He gets to the boat and says, "Why did you do that?" I have no response. And I think of Robert Frost's poem 'Wild Grapes' "Don't you weigh anything? Try to weigh something next time, so you won't Be run off with by birch trees into space." It wasn't my not weighing anything So much as my not knowing anything-- My brother had been nearer right before. It's not so much my not weighing anything (trust me there), but my not knowing anything. Or more specifically, not knowing Him. If I really knew Him, I'd trust Him enough to stay put when He tells me to and to come when He calls. Even my dog can do better than that. Perhaps even my cat. Take three. I'm in the boat, the storm is raging. He's nowhere in sight, so I stay put. Waiting on Him. Trusting He'll show up and get this boat to shore. Or if it sinks and I die, there'll be dying grace or resurrection. Some amazing miracle that only He could do. He's done it before a million times, for the Bible tells me so. I hear a noise in the boat and turn. There He is. He was there all the time; I just couldn't see Him. Were there scales on my eyes? He smiles at me because this time I did what He wanted. I have no response to that, but this time that's okay. Take four. I'm still in the boat, and a new storm is raging. Scanning the swells, I see Him. My glasses are wet with the spray, but I don't miss the beckoning. He bids me come--out on the waves. I can hear His voice calling. It's my name, not anyone else's. My list is still there, ready to be trotted out--to tell Him all the reasons I shouldn't come. Physics is against me, for one. I'm ready, though, to try. I step from the boat and walk toward Him. Because He's there, the tsunami may swell over my head, but it cannot kill me unless He says so. If it doesn't, I'll be with Him. If it does, I will too. I take a step, and He smiles. He doesn't need to ask why, and I don't need to respond. And that's okay. (Thanks to Lewis Carroll's 'The Lobster Quadrille'.)

Jenny Rice Berke was sitting in the stands as a member of the Elizabethtown Area High School band when she began to pick the brains of those around her about the football game that she was watching unfold.
Football wasn't a large part of her life growing up, although her dad and brother are fans of the Washington Redskins. Berke graduated from EAHS in the early 2000s before she went to major in chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh.
While at Pitt, she played rugby and enjoyed being a part of a team sport. That is why, after she graduated from Pitt, she went to a tryout for the Pittsburgh Passion.
The Passion are a full-contact women's semi-pro team that began in 2002. National Football League Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion and former Pittsburgh Steeler Franco Harris became a co-owner of the team in 2012.
Berke's first introduction to officiating came when the NFL hosted a one-night officiating clinic. She said that she loved the idea of it and got her name on the mailing list.
Berke continued to play for the Passion as a wide receiver and defensive back for several years before she tore her ACL and meniscus during a game. Three days after the injury she found out she was pregnant. Her playing days were over in the blink of an eye.
She gave birth to her daughter in March and decided to go to an officiating academy in June. Berke made the trip to Ohio every Thursday for the three-hour long class where they studied the high school football rule book.
In August of 2012, Berke primarily worked Pop Warner football games and some junior varsity games. The last regular season high school game was the first that she worked at the varsity level.
"It was kind of like a throwback being on a football field on Friday night under the lights," Berke said.
She operated as the deep wing official which is responsible for leading the team onto the field and primarily watching the defensive backs and wide receivers.
"I felt comfortable there because I knew how they were trying to cheat," Berke joked. "I knew that because I was trying to do the same thing."
The deep wing official is also responsible for rotating the balls in and out of play and they're also expected to race up and down sideline if the play calls for it.
"It also gives me an extra reason to stay in shape," Berke joked.
After working a high school football game, Berke was hopeful to eventually work at the Division I level. She decided to go to an April clinic outside of Baltimore because she saw an opportunity to network with the officials and commissioners that were in attendance.
"Milt Halstead pushed for me to join his ranks. I felt like I wasn't ready at the time. A couple years later I interviewed with his group," Berke said.
She then began to work PSAC and NJAC games at the Division II and Division III level. She also served as a supplemental official for the NEC.
Her latest assignment is to be an alternate official for Penn State's game against Georgia State on Saturday, Sept. 16.
She will be one of very few female football officials and said that it is a responsibility that she takes very seriously.
"The future of women and officiating kind of rides on my shoulders so there isn't such a stigma," Berke said.
Most see Berke's role as a female official as something out of the norm because it statistically is. Berke, however, thinks her job as an official is something that is great for her daughter to experience as she is growing up.
"I started when she was an infant. All she knows is that her mom is a football official. She doesn't know that it's weird. She doesn't realize that its' strange. I think that's great for my daughter," Berke said.
On a personal level, Berke said that someday she hopes to be working on Sunday's for the NFL.
"I would love to be an official in the NFL," Berke said. "That's my ultimate goal. I have no doubts that one day I'll get there. Right now, though, I'm just trying to be the best at the level that I'm at."

Are you ready to do something fun with your fitness? Do a century ride with your friends!
This training plan is intended for triathletes who are used to training for short course events and would like to do their first Century or Epic Ride.
This plan is comprised of (1) speedy ride, (1) steady ride, (1) easy ride, and (1) long slow day ride.
There is (1) rest day per week. If your body is telling you that you need an extra day of rest, listen to it.
There are (2) cross training day (i.e. strength training, yoga, swimming, running, etc.)
For the "speed" workout: Aim to do four to six hard or efforts ranging from 30 seconds to two minutes; in between the hard efforts, spin easy for twice the time of the interval.
For the "steady" workout: Go 2x 15 minutes as though you are trying to keep up with someone slightly faster than you with your HR at 80%, and then pedal an easy pace for 15 minutes. This is great race simulation for century rides.
Make your rest stops 15 minutes or less to keep the legs more fresh. The muscles tend to stiffen when you have been stopped for too long.

Sometimes, even as Slashers I think we forget why exactly condoms are so important in our fic. An entire generation of gay activists, artists, and intellectuals were almost completely wiped out by AIDS. And the worst bit was that our government did almost nothing to stop it. William F. Buckley wanted to tattoo people who contracted HIV so that they couldn't go throughout society unrecognized. Jesse Helms successfully lobbied to deny funding to AIDS-interest groups if they promoted homosexual contact (ie Safe Sex).
I don't understand hatred or that people could willingly allow people to suffer when helping them would have no consequences.

About 30 armed police men have surrounded the premises of the Controller and Accountant General's Department (CAGD) to prevent what they describe as an "unlawful gathering" of some junior doctors from across the country.
The junior doctors, numbering about 91, are at the CAGD to submit their documents to facilitate the processing of their salaries which they say have not been paid for the past 11 months.
However, according to the Greater Accra Regional Director of Operations of the Ghana Police Service, DSP FreemanKumashie, the group's gathering is unlawful.
He said the police was waiting for the leadership of the group to charge them with unlawful gathering.
But speaking on Accra-based Peace FM, spokesperson for the group, Dr Nana Kissi Ataffuah expressed his disappointment in the police's action, stressing that the gathering was not a demonstration.
He said, "We are not going on demonstration and are not acting violently. We are angry; Yes but we are not acting violently. We are just here to present our documents for them to pay us our money. We are tired and we are hungry."
"Is this how they are paying us for our patriotism? Is this the mistake we have made to demand for our monies?"

Creative destruction is a term used by economists to describe a process of innovation that consequentially replace previous iterations. Margaret Lawless uses this pattern of building and tearing down as both the process for creating her work and also the subject. Beginning with compositions based on the NYC photography of Berenice Abbott, Margaret Lawless creates for us a snapshot of the conditions of our modern society in which old buildings are replaced by the new, and previously conceived technologies are rendered obsolete by new advances. Lawless further uses this idea as a methodology for creating her artwork: building one layer on top of another. Lawless collages, draws and paints one layer over another; she then covers over the entire work before beginning a process of sanding it back down to create something entirely new while revealing the old.

This small but densely populated parish was formed in 1893 out of parts of St Mary's and St John's parishes (probably).

I was watching a documentary on Michael Jackson recently and it essentially documented his life and struggles. The part that touched me so deeply was how lonely this man was. Some people saw him like a god-he was worshiped,loved and praised but in all that he had one thing that plagued him deeply-loneliness.
No matter how much money you have, there is no ailment for this condition. Loneliness can erode one's perspective and the reason I say this is because of the choices I and so many people have made.
I recently met a lady who was lamenting the years she lost after being in a relationship that yielded pain and hurt-I looked into her eyes and I saw disfigurement-brokenness. I questioned myself after hearing her story and I thought to myself -what would make a person stay in such a relationship if she saw what it was doing to her-and I realised that it was the fear of loneliness, she chose to stay because being apart from him scared her so much so that she took whatever abuse was hurled at her.
The thing about loneliness is how it creeps into your soul, one moment you are joyous and ecstatic and in a split second-you have this severe depression and longing-sometimes you don't know what you are longing for but this overwhelming feeling of sadness overtakes you and you start yearning for someone to share life with; loneliness can drive you to settle for just about anybody because of that need for companionship and love.
Loneliness is scary because it can lead us to make wrong decisions to try and fill a void that may have been there for many years.
I remember how loneliness drove me into a deep depression, so much so that I stopped attending lectures at varsity and I took on an identity that was never mine-I started to listen to the voice of the enemy that told me that I am ugly, that no one will want to marry me, that I wasn't worthy of anyone's love and affection. I remember how broken I became because I had listened to these voices-I remember how lonely I was because by listening to these voices I drove myself into isolation.
Beloved in that moment-only Jesus could get me out, and he did!
I remember how tears became my prayer because words stung my heart too much to be uttered. I recall asking God if this is all I am worth-if my value was reduced to nothing, if I was born to be alone. Just writing this I can feel the raw pain that I felt on that day.
I don't know where you are at in your life, I don't know what the enemy has said to you; but I do know of a God so great who overcame all the hurt and pain in this world and his name is Jesus. Jesus honestly filled the void that no man could ever fill. Jesus continues to pour out a love so strong on me that in the times that I choose to be alone-I never feel lonely.
Maybe you are hoping to feel alive again,maybe you are hoping to feel loved again-I don't know; but what I do know is that you matter so much to God and he will heal those wounds and he will fill that loneliness.
Turn to him, his arms are always open.
(Romans 10: 9-11)

Julius Full name Gaius Julius Caesar. 100-44 BC
Roman general, statesman, and historian who invaded Britain (55), crushed the army of his political enemy Pompey (48), pursued other enemies to Egypt, where he installed Cleopatra as queen (47), returned to Rome, and was given a mandate by the people to rule as dictator for life (45).

The federal and state governments remain at odds over school funding with NSW fearing a return to the "bad old days" of continual fighting over the distribution of cash from the Commonwealth.
The ministers met in Adelaide on Friday with NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli insisting what was being proposed was "nothing resembling fair".
Other ministers said they were "none-the-wiser" on exactly what level of funding they could expect as federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham dismissed their criticism as "political chest beating".
"I'm pleased that what we got today was a fairly constructive discussion," Senator Birmingham said.
"This was a positive meeting from my perspective and one upon which we can build strong, positive reforms to lift Australia's educational outcomes."
Under a broad plan to increase education spending from $16 billion this year to $20 billion in 2020, the federal government wants to have a new school funding arrangement in place for the start of the 2018 year.
It says it remains committed to distribute funds fairly, according to need, and equitably across the states and territories.
That's likely to see some states do better and some worse than under the current arrangements or the more generous arrangements previously proposed under the full Gonski model from the former Labor government.
Fearing NSW would lose $400 million, Mr Piccoli said the federal government had broken the hearts of a lot of parents, right across Australia.
"We were so close to having a national system of school funding but what's been put to us today, it just raises more questions than it resolves," he said.
"This is really a lost opportunity and I think we're back to the bad old days where we're going to be fighting regularly over school funding and that's always going to come at the expense of students."
South Australian Education Minister Susan Close said SA believed the full Gonski funding arrangements should remain in place.
"The Gonski arrangement is not just about a model for giving money to students who require it, but it is also about the quantum," she said.
"Gonski without the quantum doesn't work. We need to have the money."
The Australian Education Union also called for the full Gonski funding to be retained saying the coalition's plans would rob schools of about $3.9 billion in 2018 and 2019.
It said NSW, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and the Northern Territory were likely to face cuts under the Commonwealth's plan.
"Pitting one state against another will do nothing to lift results in schools," AEU federal president Correna Haythorpe said.
"What is needed is to lift our overall investment in schools and target the extra funds to addressing disadvantage."
But Senator Birmingham said Labor's promises would not have been delivered.
"That was a never, never promise by Labor. Beyond the forward estimates, never budgeted, never paid for," he said.
"We are dealing today in reality."

Great Tips on Getting Financial Loans
Understanding Financial Loans
A Guide to Financial Loans
Financial loans are essential as they are used to meet the financial needs of the individuals who may be in economic crisis. There are different types of loans including the secured and the unsecured loans. It is important to note that some people have bad creditworthiness and they may not get loans from their banks. They are usually faced with certain situations which may inconvenience them from repaying their loans within their stipulated time. However, the people with a bad credit card can also be able to get loans which they can use to either settle the bad credit debts or put the amount of the loans to other business projects depending on the needs of the person. It is good for people to seek assistance from any of the financiers who are destined in ensuring that they treat their clients in the best way. The unsecured credit cards are good for the people with bad credit as they are prevented from withholding of the property in case they do not honor the payment within the stipulated time. To understand more about

There are several banks which are determined in ensuring that their clients get the financial loans to boost their businesses. Some of the people may apply for financial loans to start some businesses or other projects which can be the source of income for them. There can be the sudden need for cash from certain people, and this urgent need can be settled by the use of the loans which can be applied at any time especially when one is financial problems. Most of the salaried people can take longer to get some cash which comes monthly, and this cannot be used for the emergencies which may occur within the month. There are the bad credit unsecured loans which do not require collaterals. This is regardless of the poor credit for the individual. Acquire more knowledge of this information about
credit cards for bad or no credit

Many times I have been asked, 'Glenn when should I fast?' That is a great question. While we can fast just because we want to have a deeper walk with God or that we want a higher dimension in a church service, the Scriptures unveil to us certain times when God's people fasted.
Let's look at some examples and times in order for us to incorporate these into our lives when we find ourselves in similar situations. The amazing thing about the Bible is that it shows us people who were facing situations and how they were delivered. The Bible is not an antiquated religious book with coded sayings that nobody can decipher. It is a book about real people with real problems who received real solutions from a real God.
The Bible is a book showing real people with real problems who received real solutions from a real God. It was written in order for you to apply the same principles of faith to be delivered from your real problems.
Fast when you are afraid
Jehoshaphat, the King of the tiny state of Judah faced an impossible situation when a conglomerate of nations came against him to exterminate Judah's existence. Knowing who and how many were coming against him, Jehoshaphat was overwhelmed when he realized what he had in his arsenal was not enough to deal with what was coming against him. Fear gripped his heart but at the same time he did allow fear to paralyze him to a place of immobility and despair but used his fear as a catalyst to drive him before God:
And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.
2 Chronicles 20:3-4
Never let fear put you in a place of immobility but use it as fuel to drive you before your God.
Fast when you need help
Note these words very carefully, '…set himself to seek the Lord… proclaimed a fast… to ask help of the Lord.' Fasting is setting yourself to seek the Lord and more specifically for his help. Therefore you should fast when you need help. Has there ever been a time in your life that you needed help? Of course there has and there will be again. Whenever you need help from above it is time to go on a fast. From this story of Jehoshaphat I want to give you two more times that you should incorporate fasting in your life.
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
2 Chronicles 20:12
Fast when you have no might
Jehoshaphat said,'for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us.'Whenever we step into a situation we try to resolve it from our education level, from our own expertise (or that of others) and from elements available. However there are some problems that are greater than us and can only be solved by God. There are problems that we face that no physical or intellectual might will solve. Only the might of the Holy Spirit can arrest the march of certain problems against your life. When you have no might in yourself you have the might of God which you can tap into through fasting.
Fast when you don't know what to do
Finally notice the carefully worded prayer of Jehoshaphat, 'neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.' When you do not know what to do then you know what to do. It is time to seek the help of God through fasting. There have been many times in my life when I did not know what to do and I have always said to myself, 'When I don't know what to do, I know what to do.'
When it looks like I am at the end of my rope and nothing that I have tried have worked out and I have exhausted all human resources available to me, I can tap into the grace of fasting. Jehoshaphat unveiled to us that we should fast when:
- We are afraid.
- We need help.
- We have no might against what is coming against us.
- We don't know what to do.
At some point in your life you will find yourself at one of these junctions and now you know what to do!

Signals Still is a set of images of the screens of TVs for sale on Craigslist. As the substrate on which one sees the image, the screen both sifts and registers the result of the sift. I was drawn to the TVs that were turned on but expressed no image, only signal. Emitting eerie light, they are present but mute, they hum or hiss but tell no story. I wonder what invisible signals are received and projected, what necessary signals are sifted out by way of the medium's inability to register the sign. – Penelope Umbrico

|Summary, etc.:
At the age of sixty, Cory Taylor is dying of melanoma-related brain cancer. Her illness is no longer treatable: she now weighs less than her neighbor's retriever. As her body weakens, she describes the experience-the vulnerability and strength, the courage and humility, the anger and acceptance-of knowing she will soon die. Written in the space of a few weeks, in a tremendous creative surge, this powerful and beautiful memoir is a clear-eyed account of what dying teaches: Taylor describes the tangle of her feelings, remembers the lives and deaths of her parents, and examines why she would like to be able to choose the circumstances of her death. Taylor's last words offer a vocabulary for readers to speak about the most difficult thing any of us will face. And while Dying: A Memoir is a deeply affecting meditation on death, it is also a funny and wise tribute to life.

(734) 475-1361
201 W. North St., Chelsea, MI 48118
What do you get when you mix flour, eggs, sugar and salt? Another great Michigan company, that's what. The Chelsea Milling Company is a true American icon, and I honestly had no idea that the Jiffy Mix our entire country grew up on was made right in the heart of downtown Chelsea. Let's face it, that little blue box is in almost every kitchen cupboard in America.
For 120 years Howdy Holmes' family has been milling flour in Chelsea. His great grandfather started the company, and it was his very own Grandmother Mabel who invented and named the prepared Jiffy Mix that we all still use today. Up until that time, all baking was done from scratch, so having a pre-prepared baking mix in the cupboard was a liberating thing for anyone who had to prepare daily meals. Today, the Chelsea Milling Company brings quality and affordable baking mixes to the masses all around the world.
Howdy took us on a personal tour of the plant, and we were amazed. Not only by how cool all the machines were or how many people they employ, but by the fact that 1.6 million little blue boxes of Jiffy Mix come out of this mill every single day. If you'd like a tour of the factory, be sure to call ahead, because they do it by reservation only.
So next time you take that little blue box of Jiffy Mix out of the cupboard, think of Howdy, Chelsea and me. Well, skip me. You don't wanna spoil your appetite.

You'd expect nothing else from a Google phone than vanilla Android, but the Pixel XL actually comes with a customized Google Now launcher. The Pixels are the only phones at this point to support the Google Assistant. There's a long-press action to evoke contextual menus 3D Touch-style, and the app drawer is just that - a drawer you pull up from the app dock.
Pixel XL interface: Homescreen • Long-press shortcuts • Quick toggles • App drawer • Assistant
There's also the matter of having software support straight from Google itself with major Android releases promised for two years and another one on top of that for security patches. Additionally, with the Pixels you're getting unlimited lifetime original quality photo and video cloud storage (4K too) - it's hard to do the math.
On the OnePlus 3T you're treated to a stock-looking but in fact pretty extensively tweaked Android Marshmallow. The custom ROM goes by Oxygen OS, now in its 3.5.3 version, and offers gestures, a Shelf feature to keep the most used apps, contacts and widgets a swipe away, and a deep clear option for keeping pesky background services from eating at your resources.
OnePlus 3T interface: Homescreen • Shelf • Quick toggles • Gestures • Deep clear
Half the price, just as good: No. We tend to take a pretty firm stance on the subject of flagships running the latest Android version. The OnePlus 3T doesn't, unlike the Pixel XL. The Phone by Google also carries a promise for timely updates and comes with unlimited photo and video storage. That said, the myriad of added features and the community behind the Oxygen OS do offset some of those Pixel advantages, to some users at least.
Both the Pixel XL and the OnePlus 3T are powered by the Snapdragon 821 chipset, only the 3T has the version with the higher-clocked CPU - 2.35GHz vs. the Pixel XL's 2.15GHz. It also enters this comparison with the upper hand that a lower-res display gives - fewer pixels to render.
Unsurprisingly, the higher clock rate gives the OnePlus 3T a significant advantage in CPU benchmarks - in single-gore GeekBench in particular the difference is substantial. The gap between the two is smaller in multi-core, but it is still there.
Higher is better
Higher is better
Same GPU, different display resolution - that's a recipe for similar framerates in offscreen tests in GFXBench and vastly different results in the onscreen tests. Indeed, that's the case - the OnePlus 3T even manages to edge ahead of the Pixel XL by the odd frame in the offscreen tests. In the onscreen tests rendered at the devices' respective resolutions there's really no contest - the 3T's framerates are virtually double the Pixel's.
Higher is better
Higher is better
Higher is better
Higher is better
In compound benchmarks the Pixel XL can't match the OnePlus' scores either. Interestingly enough, both in Basemark OS II 2.0 and Antutu 6 the 3T's numbers are 17% higher. That's to be expected really - CPU and GPU performance do have a significant contribution in these tests and the OnePlus flagship aces those.
Higher is better
Higher is better
Half the price, just as good: Actually better - the 3T consistently outperforms the Pixel XL in all benchmarks. The lower resolution gives it a marked advantage in graphics benchmarks too.
OnePlus 1 and 2 used to score Excellent marks in our loudspeaker test, but not the 3 and 3T. The latest OnePlus only managed a Good rating. The Google Pixel XL, on the other hand, aced this test and earned our highest rating - Excellent like the OnePluses of old.
|Speakerphone test
|Voice, dB
|Overall score
As for audio output quality through the 3.5mm jack, both phones are excellent performers when plugged to an external amp - clean and loud. Then again neither one impresses when it needs to drive a pair of headphones - volume levels drops, distortion creeps in and stereo crosstalk gets a hike.
|Frequency response
|Noise level
|Dynamic range
|IMD + Noise
|Stereo crosstalk
|+0.03, -0.01
|+0.53, -0.30
|+0.01, -0.03
|+0.17, -0.04
Half the price, just as good: Not really. The OnePlus 3T's loudspeaker is quieter, and while the Pixel XL is no benchmark for headphone audio quality, it's still a tiny bit better than the 3T.

Wildfires tearing through California wine country flared up again today. They've destroyed hundreds more homes and other buildings and led to new evacuation orders in Calistoga, Green Valley and the northern part of the town of Sonoma.
Authorities raised the death toll to 21 and warned that the number would rise. Also the Sonoma County Sheriff said the number of missing-persons reports has surpassed 600, up from about 200 yesterday, though they anticipate many of those people will be found because chaotic evacuations and poor communications over the past few days have made locating friends and family difficult.
At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed since the wildfires started Sunday, making them the third deadliest and most destructive blazes in state history.

THE BLACK SHEEP is an ongoing column featuring different takes on films that either the writer HATED, but that the majority of film fans LOVED, or that the writer LOVED, but that most others LOATH. We're hoping this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Dig in!
Let's be blunt, how many of you binged watched season one of the Netflix hit Stranger Things last summer? Admittedly, I too am guilty of shot-gunning all eight inaugural episodes. And while that sort of unencumbered consumption of a product would, in itself, indicate a certain meritorious quality, I'll speak frankly. My initial, guttural reaction when the season concluded was a slight inflection above, "meh." That's to say, I think Stranger Things was okay, very little more, very little less. Overall, I found the show to be a pretty average endeavor – a derivative, unoriginal, and ultimately hollow pastiche of 80s conventions - with no real statement to make, about anything. But that isn't the way the show has been received. And while Netflix doesn't release its ratings and viewing numbers, all indications suggest the show is a massive success that has garnered unparalleled viewership.
Beyond that, the public reaction to the show has been staggering. Consider how the series, after a mere 8 episodes, currently ranks #38 on the list of all time best TV shows. For reference, The X-Files sits at #91. Now, an arbitrary IMDB rating means very little, I realize, but then consider the pop-cultural ascendance the show has enjoyed since debuting last year. A quick season 2 turnaround, a mega Super Bowl ad, star Millie Bobby Brown (who plays Eleven) reportedly in such high-demand at the moment she literally needs to take a break at a whopping 17 years of age (she's also been cast in the next GODZILLA flick), the Duffer brothers being compared to Spielberg and other Amblin acolytes? Please. A weird infatuation with the frumpy bespectacled character named Barb, who also has since gone on to land subsequent work as a result. So let me be clear, it's not the show I hate, it's the unending level of love it's been garnering that I find incongruous to the quality of the show. A middling, mediocre, highly overrated first season…this how I'll base my view of STRANGER THINGS as a F*cking Black Sheep!
I'll start with what I liked; the perspective. The triptych generational POV design of the show is what I think made it standout most. That is, by framing the story through three sets of protagonists – the junior high kids, the high-school teens and the adults – we get three distinctive viewpoints that constantly keep the show fresh. Ennui never tends to creep in by crosscutting between three sets of intergenerational characters. So that, I thought from a narrative design aspect, was really quite brilliant.
As for the characters themselves, some came off far more likeable than others, some more sympathetic still. For my money, Dustin Henderson, the portly little kid with the perm and adorable lisp played by Gaten Matarazzo, was an absolute strong suit of the show. In fact, the youngsters to me is where the show's imagination justifies itself in going to the absurd realms it eventually reaches. Seeing these so-called Stranger Things through the wide eyes of the preteen kids makes the otherworldly aspects feel appropriately scary and terrifying, and as an intended target, makes the nostalgia feel most authentic. It's through the eyes of the rest of the characters, in particular Winona Ryder as the whacked-out mother figure Joyce, that these things tend to seem really quite a bit silly.
To that point, why what the hell happened that would account for Joyce's erratic and unstable mental state? Forgive me if I missed a clue or outright explanation, but to me it seemed pretty clear Joyce has had a history with drug abuse or perhaps alcoholism. Her shut-in paranoia, her meth-head wall scrawling, her glaring emotional detachment, as I recall, none of these things were rightfully explicated in the show. Now, I'm allergic to exposition like most of you, but without a simple hint, Rider's performance feels unjust as bizarrely histrionic. And not to castigate a child too hard, but I actually found Millie Bobby Brown's turn as Eleven to be poor at worst, mediocre at best. Those shots of her telekinetically moving objects, replete with constipated growls and intense squinting, I found to be nowhere remotely convincing. I'll leave it at that.
But the single most maddening thing about STRANGER THINGS is how it apes, bites and cribs an entire tableau of 1980s Amblin Entertainment – thematically, stylistically, tonally - and does so without actually advancing the canon past the point of loving and knowing homage. It's one thing to elicit a sense of loving nostalgia by essentially remixing the best-of-its catalogue from THE GOONIES, THE MONSTER SQUAD, E.T., STAND BY ME, THE GATE, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, IT, and so forth…it's quite another to do only that and subsequently fail to add or augment the product beyond mere pastiche. Just like the movie SUPER 8 that tried a similar attempt a few years back, despite how well made it is, despite how heartfelt J.J. Abrams' love of the epoch, it ultimately comes off as a flat retread of far better movies that came out 30 odd years ago. In that sense, STRANGER THINGS regresses, it doesn't progress material. Seriously, a giant amorphous blob acting as a portal to a shadowy underworld? That's your primary foe? Yo Duffer bros, you better bring a whole host of STRANGER THINGS than that!
All this to say, I liked STRANGER THINGS okay, but kind of hate the overwhelming amount of love the show is enjoying at the moment. It's simply unwarranted in my opinion. And like most Netflix originals, the show is overrated. Who knows, perhaps I'm just being a salty grump about it, but if unabashedly ripping off childhood loves in THE GOONIES, THE MONSTER SQUAD, E.T. and the rest without adding anything new or offering something to say, if this equals quality, then we're all in more grave peril than the Byers and Wheelers themselves!

Jeff, I am sorry for your loss. God bless you and cherish your memories.
Dear Virginia and George, when we think about Aunt Tyna, we speak from our hearts and say, she was the kindest and most loving ,God fearing person we have ever been privileged to know. Much love and our sympathies to you and the whole family.
Tyna made our wedding cake forty eight years ago. We were so blessed to have had one of her creations. She did such beautiful work.
Our prayers to the family during this time. May you all feel God's love around you.
Dear Ginny and George, my heartfelt sympathies to you. Tyna's gentle grace, selflessness, sound advice and spunky humor is the undeniable thread woven deeply through each of your lives and into all those she touched.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Tyna was a gracious daughter of the King, who reflected His love in her kindness and special creative gifts. Blessings and joy to her family as they re-live the many memories you have.
A wonderful favorite aunt who was always doing such thoughtful things for others. I remember her delivering a birthday cake to my home when my husband was in hospital in another state and she wanted to cheer me up. Never heard her say a cross word about anyone. She can now rest in perfect peace.
I graduated with Virginia from OHS 1968. Her mother was a sweet lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Please share your thoughts ...
