The Higher Planning Council for Judea and Samaria is set to debate the advancement of plans for 1,072 new homes in West Bank settlements on Wednesday.The debate comes as US Secretary of State John Kerry is in Jordan, where he will hold talks on the frozen Israeli-Palestinian peace process with the Arab League.According to the council's agenda, it will debate a plan for 732 new homes in the Modi'in Illit settlement, located on the pre-1967 lines.The council also plans to discuss building plans for 10 other settlements, but according to the office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, the schedule is subject to change.
According to Peace Now, the council also plans to discuss plans for building 234 units in Galgal and 31 homes in Almog, both settlements located in the Jordan Valley. It will also examine plans for 38 homes for Kochav Ya'akov and 17 for Shiloh, settlements in the Binyamin Region.
In addition it will consider plans for 19 homes in Kfar Adumim, located outside of the Ma'aleh Adumim settlement, on the way down to the Dead Sea from Jerusalem.
A de facto freeze on the publication of housing tenders in West Bank settlements and east Jerusalem has been in place since January, as an Israeli gesture to help foster a conducive climate for the renewal of talks with the Palestinians, which have been largely frozen since December 2008.
The Palestinians have insisted that Israel must halt all settlement activity as a precondition for the resumption of talks.
Israel has refused to cede to that request and has insisted that talks must be held without pre-conditions.
In particular, the Higher Planning Council has continued to debate and advance plans for thousands of new homes in West Bank settlements in the last six months.

The season debuted with a return to the alien conspiracy, and promises to revisit the spaceman for the season finale. In between? We've got the monster-of-the-week shows, baby, which fans long consider the best episodes The X-Files had to offer, myself included.
Episode 2, AKA Founder's Mutation, is a classic X-Files one-off, dealing with genetically modified children, some of which possess superhuman abilities. I admit, I felt like I was back in the 90s as Mulder and Scully dealt with government interference while trying to unlock the episode's mystery. It was nothing overly new, but it was entertaining.
The best moments in Founder's Mutation, however, don't deal with the main plot, but with Mulder and Scully and their baby, which they put up for adoption at the end of the original series' run. The episode doesn't dwell too long on this, but the characters get to explore the "what if?" of not giving up William, and the results are emotional and tragic. These sequences are great TV.
Episode 3, AKA Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Creature, is nothing short of genius television. Why? Because writer/director Darin Morgan, he who crafted Jose Chung's From Outer Space, War of the Coprophages, and many more great -- and funny -- X-Files episodes, is back! And that means The X-Files gets to have a little fun with itself.
There are so many great moments in this episode, moments that have fun with where the show fits into the modern world (Mulder has a "fight" with a camera app) and with the characters and where they're at now. It's brilliant, witty and, at times, poignant stuff. And yes, it ranks up there with the best of the stand-alone episodes.
Oh, and Scully gets to be sexy. 'Nuff said.
Keep 'em coming, Fox. Keep 'em coming.

La Cruz has been a real whirlwind of activity. First, Mexican President Calderon is expected next week to speak to a "cocktail party" of 3500 or so, hosted in the parking lot of the marina. The town has gone through a total transformation in anticipation of his visit...paving nearly the entire town, new streetlights and infrastructure, and general cleanup. The amount of $$$ that went into the town over the past 3 weeks has been phenomenal...I wish this guy was planning a sail on 'Bravo'!!!!!
The second big event in La Cruz coincides with the visit of the grand poo-bah.....it's called Sailboat Racing!!! Numerous venues all centered in La Cruz over a 2 week period. J24 international regatta, with over 60 boats from 9 countries, kite boards, wind surfing, and grand prix ocean race boats, it's really exciting for us racers to see, even those of us on cruising boats. Mex-Orc, a major race from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta was finishing the day we left. Very cool to see these beautiful race boats coming in. Here are a few shots of Loe Real, a 60 foot tri from Texas. She had a sustained 2 hour run at over 28 knots, and a 400 mile day on the trip down the coast!!! That's FAST!!! Here's a bit of boat porn for you multi hull enthusiasts...
|Customs came aboard to clear the crew into Mexico. Ya think they just wanted to check out the cool hardware???
|I think Bravo needs a new helm seat!!!
After a last minute flurry of our own projects and chores before heading out (and a fair bit of socializing in the music rich town), we left La Cruz for the passage to Zihuatanejo, around 335 miles. After a couple of days out, we decided to duck into Barra de Navidad to visit one of our favorite towns, and visit with friends. Nice to visit the town, and see how well it's recovering after suffering a pretty severe hit from hurricane Jova last summer. And the street tacos shared with S/V 'Third Day' and S/V 'Just a Minute' were hard to beat!!!!!
|Sunrise just before coming off watch.
|Blue footed booby rides along for a while. Do you think our sail bag looks like patio furniture to him??? Yup, thought so!!!
But it felt really good to be on our way, as we've not yet been this far south aboard 'Bravo'. Burned a fair amount of diesel, unfortunately! Refueled this morning, and came into Zihuatenejo Bay. Pretty little fishing town, surrounded by some serious villas and resorts.
But as architect Robert Stern says, money doesn't buy taste!!!
We'll stay here in Z-town for a couple of days, before continuing on to Huatulco, about 350 miles south. There we'll wait for our weather window to cross the Gulf of Tehuantepec, known for it's gale force gap winds coming across from the Gulf of Mexico in the Atlantic.

Formula Ford 1600 and 2000: racing with the Van Diemen works team in 1981, before progressing to FF2000 in 1982, dominating the British and European championships. Formula 3: the battle with Martin Brundle for the 1983 British F3 Championship. Formula 1 baptism with Toleman: nearly winning the rain-shortened Monaco Grand Prix, and qualifying third at Estoril, behind Piquet s Brabham and Prost s McLaren. The Lotus years, 1985 87: Senna s first wins, at Estoril and Spa in 1985, two more wins in 1986, and his final Lotus year, with wins in Monaco and Detroit, before signing for McLaren for the 1988 season. The McLaren years, 1988 93: first world title in 1988 followed by an acrimonious year with team-mate Alain Prost in 1989. Two further world titles in 1990 and 1991, as Williams emerges to dominate with Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost, Senna winning five races in his final year for McLaren. The final season: driving for a no-longer-dominant Williams, struggling to take the fight to Benetton and Michael Schumacher, before tragically losing his life at Imola.

He has so many cars that apparently when the chairman of Ferrari offered him one of their cars early in 2005 he actually turned the offer down. David Beckham at the wheel of his GMC Yukon 4x4, Penalara National Park, Spain, January 2004 Beckham owns over seven cars, including a custom built Ferrari, a Porsche 911, a Range Rover, and a Jaguar. One of his first notable cars was a 1996 BMW M3, which he owned back when we has a moderately well-known rising star of the Manchester United squad. This car was later sold for a whopping £90,000 on eBay. The same model, not owned by Beckham, recently sold for only £11,000 and you could probably purchase a brand new BMW M3 for well under the weekly wage of your average globe-trotting Galactico.

I'm gearing up for a big adventure abroad, and while I'm beyond excited (!!) I'm also fearful of the stomach issues that have accompanied my vacations in the past. Unfortunately no matter how much travel I do, my stomach doesn't seem to get stronger. Instead, quite the opposite. Anytime I get out of routine the internal fire kicks into high gear and I end up caught in a vicious cycle of stomach pains, intense bloating and the inability to poop.
I said it. Poop. Get over it.
And while I'm still not at 100%, I have gathered a few tricks along the way to keep me sane. When I'm diligent about staying on top of my digestion game, everything is more enjoyable. Travel is such an amazing opportunity! You don't want to miss the gems because you're thinking about your stomach.
Let's change that, shall we?! Here are some tried and true Mind Right travel hacks that help keep issues at bay.
I generally take a probiotic everyday, but when I'm traveling I make sure to up the dosage. It doesn't suffice to just buy any ol' one on the shelf either. Ideally you're ingesting a therapeutic strength probiotic. There are tons of products out there that you're simply just ingesting and peeing out. Make sure your probiotic isn't one of them! This is so important. When you are traveling, especially oversees, you are exposed to a wide variety of microbes that you aren't typically in contact with. On top of that you're likely in new time zones, new sleep routines, and eating out all the time. This brings a whole host of other stressors on the body and your immune system gets weakened. The best probiotics are refrigerated (and live) but the CLEAN program has a good one to use for travel that doesn't have to be kept cold.
This is a given, but seriously you guys. HYDRATE. When I underestimate the amount of water I need I end up tired, lethargic, and headache-y (that's a word in my vocabulary). Make sure that you're drinking tons of water before, during and after the flight. None of this "I don't want to wake up the person next to me to let me out for the bathroom" bullshit. I'm not having it. You need to take care of yourself. While the actual travel day is very important, make sure that you're also taking in enough water on the first day you're away. It will keep energy levels in check and ensure you don't dehydrate your system after the change in environment. Sip on warm lemon water and green (no sugar) juices if you can, but not alcohol. Please, don't drink alcohol (I can hear you screaming at me already). This only aids in the chaotic internal environment and dehydrates you further. Try to stay away for at least the travel day.
I know I've already told you about the poop problem so I'm just going there... I can't poop without greens powder while traveling. I don't know if it's just me, but greens powder works! I make sure to bring single serving packets with me (I love Macro Greens) and pour it into water first thing in the morning. When I'm home I don't always have green's powder and I definitely don't ever take it straight, but while I'm away it's a necessity. Like clockwork... water, greens powder, coffee, poop. And no, it wasn't the coffee that kept the bowels moving. I've tried the equation without the greens with no luck.
I'm definitely not an advocate for pajamas on the plane, but I do think you need to be comfortable. Wear soft clothing that allows your skin to breathe. It's important to be comfortable while cramped in a tube jetting through the sky. But please, no sweat pants. You're better than that! I like to have a scarf that can double as a blanket, some essential oils, and a cozy coat in my carry on. If I'm going long distances I always make sure to pack face wash (or face towelettes), a toothbrush and moisturizer. Coat yourself in some luxury to calm the system.
The timezone that is. The day I'm traveling I try to adjust to the new timezone I'm traveling to. I go through the day as if it is already the time of where I am going. That could mean taking a nap because it's the middle of the night where I'm headed or refraining from falling asleep to sync up with the next place my feet land. It's super helpful to not lose too much time to the dreaded jet-lag. To that point, once you're there be there. Don't keep comparing your time to the time back home. You're not doing yourself any favors, promise.
Enjoy your travels friends! And please, don't. ever. stop. traveling.

Editor -- The Chronicle quite often does something praiseworthy and one should express gratitude for your nice, splashy editorial on Kenneth Starr's activities. Few newspapers have roused themselves to that effort to date. And you all are our only guardians of truth and justice!
Does anyone really believe that, if Starr knew anything very damaging about the Clintons, he would not have trotted out with it before November 5? Bob Dole might be president now and the Republican Congress could be gleefully cutting taxes, eliminating social programs and deregulating nearly everything with no one to say nay to them.
Starr has been part of the Republican leadership's 4 1/2-year campaign to get rid of Bill Clinton by destroying his character and credibility with non-stop "investigations." They had no one who could compete with him. And now there is Al Gore to make them nervous again.
In Senator Fred Thompson they have a former actor able to evince shock and righteous indignation when speaking of Democratic efforts to raise enough money to keep up with the GOP. Senator Al D'Amato was much more transparently partisan in the Whitewater hearings he chaired.
JULIA JACOBSArcata
Editor -- Special Counsel Kenneth Starr gives the word opportunist a bad name. He will be remembered, one hopes, for his elegant ability to turn wine into water and the legal profession into a joke.
JOHN RAYMONDSan Francisco
Editor -- D. Clarence Anderson, who questions the loyalty of Chinese Americans who proudly proclaim their joy at "the return of Hong Kong to the Motherland," is without a doubt a bigot (Letters, July 27). To imply, as he does, that Chinese Americans who are proud of their heritage are treasonous is ridiculous. People in this country, except for Native Americans, trace their roots to other lands. Many of them are proud of their roots. To conclude that they are a threat to the United States by virtue of their ethnic pride is nothing short of witch-hunting and mindless jingoism.
Would Anderson question the loyalty of Irish Americans who proudly proclaim "Kiss me, I'm Irish" or that of Italian Americans who scoff at the poor quality of "American" food and relish the excellence of Italian food? Probably not. No wonder he calls the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II "the prudent course" while overlooking the fact that no such treatment was accorded to German or Italian Americans, descendants of countries we were also at war with.
It's not hard to conclude that Anderson's prejudice is not aimed at all immigrants but only at Asian Americans. One should indeed feel threatened by Anderson's bigotry rather than by any perceived disloyalty on the part of any ethnic group.
HUGO ZUNIGASan Francisco
Editor -- In regard to the letter in the July 27 editorial page entitled "The Motherland," I feel it is wrong for Mr. Anderson to criticize the entire Chinese community for one individual expressing his thoughts on the Hong Kong takeover. Speaking as a San Franciscan, I feel Chinatown and the Chinese community are a strong part of San Francisco. To the same token, North Beach, the Mission, the Castro or the Irish Sunset all contribute to the diversity of the city. His suggestion that everyone should assimilate in order to benefit the country's security is ridiculous and xenophobic.
There are plenty of proud Americans who are in touch with their ancestral and cultural heritage. It should not be considered threatening if one voices an opinion on political issues that exist outside of the country.
GEORGE PAPLOSSan Francisco
Editor -- Re Godfrey Tudor-Matthews' "Amglish" letter (Sunday, August 3). As that archetypical Englishman, Winston Churchill, said, "This is the sort of pedantic nonsense up with which I will not put."
In this country, we do not speak "Amglish," we speak American, and we have been speaking American since the earliest settlers landed on these shores and began using Native American words to describe things innately American. We have enriched the American language over the years by assimilating words and phrases from other languages and cultures.
Most Americans have difficulty understanding the language spoken by Englishmen. The glottal stops of the people of Northumberland, the elided consonants of the Cockney and the Scottish burr make their use of English a far cry from the regional accent of the British Received Pronunciation, or as it is often called, "Oxford English." I lived in England for some time. I was continually reminded of John Witherspoon's observation in 1781 that "the vulgar in America speak better than the vulgar in England."
Language is a living thing. For the United States to attempt to conform to the speech patterns of a country one third the size of California, and from which it has been separated geographically, culturally and linguistically for over 300 years, would seem to be an excess of Anglophilic sentiment.
Early in our country's development, an effort was made to establish a tribunal, similar to the Acadamie Francaise. Wiser heads prevailed and we have no "official" language of the United States. As some sage once observed, "Language is made, not by the poets and the pundits, but by the gallery and the gutter."
GEORGE M. LINDSAYSan Francisco
EDitor -- I am referring to your editorial on Sunday, July 13, in which you stated: "With the understandable perception by blacks and Hispanics that they are not wanted at UC." Let's think that through. What perception are you talking about? You were talking about the law school and the fact that 14 blacks declined to attend. You certainly are not inferring that Dean Hill or the faculty and the student body at Boalt Hall would make blacks and Hispanics feel unwelcome. What you are really saying is that they turned down a chance to attend a great law school because of the opinion of some members of the Board of Regents whom they will probably never see and who certainly will not be teaching any of their law classes.
Those students were obviously not analyzing the problem very well. Perhaps they should take up a career selling Starbucks coffee rather than get into a contentious field such as law.
More important -- all your editorials have failed to mention that the university has a perfect loophole for admitting any poor black student who is qualified. The Board of Regents allows them to consider socioeconomic factors. So, the same poor black student from Los Angeles who cannot be admitted solely because of his race can be admitted by virtue of his socioeconomic background.
So just what is the problem?
A society which is supporting more millionaires and billionaires than any society since the beginning of time can surely take care of our disadvantaged people regardless of race.

EDitor -- I take exception to Robert Gunnison's characterization of California Highway Patrol officers as spies in "California Insider" (Sunday, July 27).
Mr. Gunnison is misinformed if he believes that the CHP does anything other than provide for "safety and service" at the Capitol. To refer to these dedicated law enforcement professionals as spies is inappropriate and does not create a positive image for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Editor -- I am trying to trace relatives of my grandfather and am hoping that some of your readers may be able to help.
My grandfather, William Greenslade, lived for most of his life in Pearl Street, Cardiff, South Wales, following his return from the Boer War. It appeared that he was quite close to a cousin, Charles Greenslade, who emigrated to America some time around the turn of the century.
This cousin may have worked for the then Postal Telegraph Cable Company and lived at 774 Harrison Street, San Francisco. I have a letter, including photographs, he wrote to my grandfather in 1907 describing the terrible events that immediately followed the 1906 earthquake. It appears that his own home was badly damaged in the earthquake and it may be that this property no longer exists. His letter mentions what I assume to be a temporary address: 1301 Guerrero Street, San Francisco.
My grandfather's daughter, my mother, is now age 91 and lives in Gloucester, England. We would be pleased to hear from any relatives of Charles Greenslade.

Familiarize Yourself with Commonly Asked Interview Questions September 7, 2008Posted by dapinoyemployee in The Application Process.
Tags: how to answer interview questions, tips on answering interview questions, tough interview questions
There is no way anyone can accurately predict what questions will be asked during your interview. However, there are certain questions that tend to get asked more often when hiring companies are looking to fill their job vacancies. Learn what these commonly asked interview questions are so when it's your turn, you'll know what to say.
Tell me about yourself or Tell me something about yourself.
When you answer this question for the first time, please do not introduce yourself. The interviewer already knows who you are. Many applicants, for some unexplained reason, say their complete name, where they live and who their parents are. Please don't do this. You're not in a beauty pageant and you're not campaigning for your high school student government.
Instead, why don't you start with your education, why you took it and what exactly it was you meant to do that's why you got that degree. Or, if you've had some work experience, you could begin by telling the interviewer about what you do or did (the most recent jobs are fine), why you enjoy it and what drives you.
Next, you can then talk about your interests – clubs and associations you belong to, some training you might have had and a few personal stuff about you. When I say personal, I mean information that will allow the interviewer to get to know you better and see you in a favorable light. Pick the personal characteristics, hobbies and interests that make you the best choice for the job. Leave out the irrelevant ones.
Why do you want to work with our company?
Hopefully, you've done your research about the company you're applying to. If you haven't yet, please do it now. You'll need the information in order to answer this question convincingly. This question is asked to determine if you know anything about the company, who they are and what they do.
To answer this question, talk about why you feel the company is right for you – solid presence in the market, small but growing company (lots of potential for employee growth), challenges that you feel you are qualified for, the status and needs of the company against the job experience and/or skills you have that you think the employer will make good use of, etc.
Why did you leave your job or What did you not like about your last job?
Do not treat these questions as a chance for you to air your bad feelings about your former employers. While it's very easy to lash out with criticism, you will be putting your chances of getting hired at risk.
Rule of thumb: Never bad-mouth your old boss or former employer or say bad things about your job. You'll sound like a wimp.
Instead of complaining, say something like, 'I did enjoy my last job. It helped me gain experience in terms of _____. However, I felt that this new opportunity with you could offer more in helping me develop ____ (skills, training, qualifications, job experience).' At least, this statement will show that you're an employee looking for growth.
What are your plans five or ten years from now?
Don't say, 'On a vacation' or 'Married. With kids.' What the employer wants to hear are the goals you have that are related to your work. They want to see if you have the right motivation. They also ask this question to spot a 'jumper' – someone who doesn't stay long in a job and tends to grab the next big opportunity that comes his way.
Should you get hired, the employer will be investing on you by training you and giving you the experience. They want to know if you will use that experience to contribute to their company or use it someplace else.
Never give a vague answer to this question. Don't ever say, 'I have no idea. I'm not psychic, you know.' Instead, say 'In five/ten years, I really hope to be working in a job that is challenging, allows me to learn and further my skills and experiences.'
Why should our company hire you?
This is the interviewer's way to see how well you know your skills and qualifications. Effectively, what they are asking is, 'There are other job candidates out there. Why should we pick you instead? What do you have that others don't? What makes you special?'
When you're asked this question, keep in mind that this is an opportunity for you to show the interviewer why your experience, skills and other qualifications are the right fit for the job. Talk about what you've done in your past jobs that showed that you are a reliable, highly capable employee.
Show that you like challenges and are able to handle them. Show that you can work under pressure. Were you able to participate or lead a successful project? Tell your interviewer about that. Were you able to increase sales or bring in more clients? Don't hide this fact. The more the interviewer can see your potential (based on what you've done), the better your chances will be at getting hired.
Be careful, though. Don't fib. Lying about something you did on the job could put you in a bad light if your employer finds out.
The interview
Interviews can be very uncomfortable. To increase your chances of saying the right things, be ready. A little preparation can go a long way. Try to review your education, past job experience, skills, training and other qualifications. That, combined with a good backgrounder on the company you're applying to will help you come up with the best answers that are uniquely yours. And that will help you make a good impression.

Al-Rashid was unable to stand and flamed up with rage when he saw the Muslim masses frequently and in groups visit the shrine of the plant of the sweet basil of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, and master of the youth of the Garden Imam al-Husayn, peace be on him. So he ordered the custodian of the Holy Shrine, Ibn Abi Dawud, that he might wreak his wrath and torture upon him. When he stood before him, he said to him angrily:
"What has made you live in al-Hayr?"
"Indeed, al-Hasan b. Rashid has put me in that place," answered Ibn Abi Dawud.
So al-Rashid shook his head and ordered him to be brought immediately, saying: "I think that this has been planned by al-Hasan."
When he stood before him, he asked him: "What made you put this man (Ibn Abi Dawud) in al-Hayr?"
Al-Hasan asked him for sympathy, saying: "May Allah have mercy on him who placed him in al-Hayr. Um Musa[Um Musa is the mother of al-Mehdi. She was the daughter of Yazid b. Mansur al-Himyari, a Yemeni king.] ordered me to place him in it and to give him thirty dirhams a month."
So al-Rashid became calm and said: "Return him to al-Hayr and give to him what Um Musa had given to him."
Shortly after that al-Rashid ordered the Holy Shrine and the neighboring houses to be demolished. He ordered the nabk tree beside the Holy Grave to be uprooted.[3] Moreover he ordered the land of Kerbela to be plow, that he might efface the traces of the Pure Grave. However, Allah took vengeance on him. For he died in Khuresan before the end of the year.

WHO: A couple
HOME: Five-room HDB executive maisonette in Woodlands
SIZE: 1,679sqf
For homeowner Ivanna Cherylynn Tan Jumaat, it has always been her dream to own a maisonette apartment decked in luxurious Victorian-inspired furniture and designs.
When she and husband Tommy Low first acquired their twostorey resale flat in Woodlands, Ivanna jumped at the opportunity to fill her home with her favourite furniture items, which she had collected over the years.
Despite the glitzy pieces, the overall look exudes a cosy ambience, thanks to the large, cushy seats decked in satin, silk, velvet and fabric upholstery.
There are even some do-it-yourself projects that she created, including a table lamp clad in white feathers that sits in the living room. Ivanna was also bold in her choice of lighting fixtures, selecting a variety of chandeliers for the apartment.
With a renovation that amounted to $50,000, as well as approximately $50,000 for furniture and furnishings, the couple managed to transform their home into a luxurious abode.

The flowery jersey skirt refashion is not going well, for some reason it just wont behave and I keep adjusting it and the rage is getting greater! Currently it just looks like a misshapen sack with an inexplicable hem. So it is being put to one side until I am calmer!
However-I have a replacement! I was wandering through the charity shops on my way home (its so dangerous!) and spotted a lovely white skirt with turquoise flowers in a nice slightly cheeseclothy cotton, with a built in soft underskirt. Perfect! It was however too large in general and ankle length. It was actually quite nice ankle length but I would never have worn it, I find long skirts make me feel like a hippo, no matter what the mirror says! Sadly I didn't take any pictures of me wearing the original that came out, they were all weirdly flashy (I took them near a mirror and it didn't work). However, here is a shot that shows the skirt as I altered it, and the bit I took off the bottom so you can see.
I just took an even amount off it all round, cutting through both the outer skirt and inner. and it hangs beautifully and the hem was perfectly even first time! Result -(and a nice change after the stupid jersey one!). I also took a few inches out of the waist and side seam so it fit.
I wouldn't generally wear it with my shirt tucked as it sits a little low for that to be very flattering but I did so the whole skirt was visible. I like that it looks nice with tights and without, a good versatile spring skirt!

Magpies recover from first draw to defeat Newmarket
Newmarket I 0
Harleston Magpies II 2
Harleston Magpies' second team continued their unbeaten season so far with a two-goal victory on the road at Newmarket on Sunday.
Magpies, who have already been crowned champions, were without a number of players for the rearranged encounter, which saw a number of players from the third team make the step up.
However, it did not deter the visitors as they went on to break the deadlock via Sophie Child.
Laura Tibbenham had the initial shot that was saved by the home goalkeeper, leaving the alert Child to tuck in the rebound.
Hosting Newmarket pushed hard for an equalising goal after the restart, but the Magpies midfield and defence held firm against the pressure.
And they ended up being rewarded when Amelia Herschel-Shorland dribbled her way past three opposition players and kept her cool to score her first goal of the campaign.
• Twenty-four hours earlier the seconds dropped their first points of the season after they were held to a 1-1 draw away at hosting Wisbech Town I.
The home side broke the deadlock against the run of play, but Magpies stuck to their task and managed to get themselves ahead when Tibbenham slotted the ball in.
Magpies won a number of short corners during the second half but they could not find a way beyond the Wisbech goalkeeper for a second time.
It means that the second side have won 19 of their games this term, drawing the other one.
They also have back-to-back encounters this weekend, starting with the visit of 10th-placed Watton I tomorrow.
That is followed on Sunday by a trip to take on seventh-placed St Neots I on Sunday.

Lingering thoughts about the death of my friend, Kitt Kling, and stuff… Many things on my mind, all jumbled.
When I talked to L yesterday, she asked me when I transitioned from female to male. She'd thought I was younger than I actually was when I started transitioning. So when I couldn't sleep last night, mixed up feelings, grief, choking back tears that wanted to flood but wouldn't come, I wrote her one of my long-winded emails she's come to expect and endure. (I think by now L mostly skims the emails for relevant tidbits.) This post is an edited excerpt or what I wrote to L.
I found a website archived on a U of Michigan server about Successful Transmen. If you scroll down to the photos, near the top you see the same picture of young Kitt that I used in my previous blog post about his death, listed under his pseudonym, "Alex Fox." The intro on the webpage says:
- Many thousands of people have made female-to-male (FtM) gender transitions and are now living fully and successfully as men. Many thousands more are now in the process of FtM transition. The numbers are far larger than commonly thought.
- These men quietly struggle with many difficult medical, physical, family, social, legal, employment and relationship issues in order to transition and build their new lives. After those transitional difficulties, most transmen live in "stealth" and leave their pasts behind. They "hide in plain sight" in order to avoid social stigmatization and get on with their new lives. Their personal successes insure that they assimilate and blend right into society. As a result they are then almost totally "invisible" as having had transsexual pasts.
- Recently the veil of invisibility has been lifting, as a number of transmen have begun creating websites to tell their stories and help others. You can put a compelling human face on their lives by looking at the websites below – websites containing valuable information about the FtM experience. There you will find links to the stories and experiences of successful men who can serve as role models for young FtM's. The websites, stories and experiences of these men are a valuable source of first-hand information about gender transitions to masculinity.
- These men's stories can provide hope, encouragement and role models to others, especially to young transsexual teens facing FtM gender transition. Those teens (and their parents and loved ones) need to learn that successful FtM gender transition is now possible. Without visible role models such as the men below, it can be difficult for them to visualize what is now possible. Then, if parents can learn to see their transsexual child as a "boy with a physical problem" rather than a "girl with a mental problem", that child's future is especially hopeful. With parental love and support, a young transsexual boy can now really reach for his dreams, and go on to live a full life as a man.
I'd wanted to answer L's question about how old I was when I transitioned. I started in 2000, and so would have been 43yo, turning 44yo in October. Had I the power, I would have begun in 1994-5, so at ~38yo. And actually, that's not accurate, either. If I'd had the power, I would have transitioned in 1977, and 21 years of age. Or, truth be told, I'd have transitioned at age 3 or 4, when I first had the brief conscious realization that my gender identity didn't match my physical body. But a toddler doesn't know what gender and gender identity are. Adults only barely know. We just know what society / culture tells us. Even at that tiny age, I understood that there was nothing whatsoever I could do about changing my body. I'd have to go back and look to see when the first known transgendered individuals successfully transitioned. I think Renée Richards was the first I heard of? What could I do but repress the brief conscious realization and try to live life with the body I'd been given?
I could only repress it a little. The incongruence between my physical body and my sense of self was evident in my body expression from a young age — how I sat with my legs crossed, how I walked, etc. It was evident in my choice of toys. It was evident in my interests. Oh yes, I remember how badly I wanted a crew cut like was in vogue and high-top Keds sneakers. I tried very hard to be a "girl" because I had no choice.
Later on, it became more muddled for me when I became an adolescent and realized that I was attracted to girls. "Under the hood," I knew that "lesbian" didn't fit quite right, but it was the only explanation I could arrive at. One doesn't have to "transition" to become a "lesbian" — a woman who loves women romantically, sexually, and emotionally. It was the easiest answer. So that's what I did.
I don't recall when I first heard the word "transsexual." (I hate that word for some reason.) It must / might have been before I took my class in Psychosexual Behavior at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR, affectionately know as University of Last Resort) in 1977. But it was in that class that I definitely got the term. That is, I understood that it was possible for a person to surgically and medically change their body to match their gender identity. I still wasn't sure what "gender identity" meant — I just vaguely knew that "who I thought I was" between my ears didn't match what I saw in the mirror and how I was treated by the world around me.
In that class, we were shown a documentary video made at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science campus. The documentary included scenes of an actual "sex reassignment surgery" on an MTF. Various teaching hospitals were just beginning to offer the surgery at that time Strobe lights went off for me, not just tiny light bulbs. "Oh, so this is possible!?!?!?" But the documentary ended on a sour note. It's pretty easy to lob off a penis and create a vagina. But not so easy (and still not so very very easy) to create a penis. At one and the same time, I realized, this is what I am and this is what I need, and at the very same time, I recognized that I could never afford it, I could never meet the requirement of living full time as a man for a full year without benefit of testosterone, it wouldn't work in my family and social milieu, etc. So I repressed the knowledge and went on living as a lesbian. If transitioning had been attainable to me, I would have done it then, and I would have had a happier life. I would have found the right person to love, I would have married her, we would have children, and then grandchildren…and all my subsequent life choices would have been different, easier, and better.
So there it remained repressed until ~1994, when I met B. And the long and the short of it with B was that she was an MTF lesbian, and she finally told me, "I can't be in a relationship with you — you're a guy. I like women." B was the first transgendered person I'd knowingly met. Okay, "knowingly" is somewhat misleading. When I met her, she didn't announce she was transgendered. I thought she was just a tall cisgendered woman. But she did tell me, and we talked about her transitioning and about gender identity. And through our conversations, I began to understand a little more about myself. I wasn't quite ready to say, "Okay, I'm FTM, I'm transgendered." But I was getting close to it. And B saying to me that she couldn't be with me because I was a guy was what finally "pushed me over the ledge." Finally acknowledged, yes, she's right.
Oh, we had some good conversations… I didn't understand that testosterone could actually do its job. Me with a beard, looking in the mirror and seeing what I expected??? She assured me the testosterone would accomplish its goal. I fretted about being too short. B said, "There are a lot of short men." She patiently addressed all my major concerns, and after we parted ways, I thought, "I can do this, I want to do this, I have to do this." Now it was at the forefront of my consciousness, and I thought of nothing else.
I had always dressed as masculine as I could get away with. On my own time, it was always jeans and t-shirt. I wore my last dress in 1986, and refused thereafter to take any job where I had to wear dresses. Work was so hard. I wore the most masculine shirts and slacks I could find in the women's clothing departments, but always realizing I was hoeing a tight row, yet not understanding my underlying issue. It made me feel nauseous to wear feminine clothes, but I had to do it to a minimal extent to keep employment. Always a treacherous balancing act between my self-perception and how I was perceived by others, how I needed to be perceived to be safe and keep a job vs how I wished / wanted to be perceived for my sanity, and such crazy, mixed up stuff.
After B, I was in the "enviable" position of being on disability because of my endless eye surgeries, and I worked part-time (15 hrs / week) for P-FLAG (Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). I didn't have to worry about the clothes I wore. Wearing men's clothing was okay at P-FLAG because I was just a "butch lesbian." Also, at that time, 1994, and working for the National Capitol chapter in DC…. Well, to explain P-FLAG, at least back then, each state had a "chapter," mainly to help parents struggling with having a gay or lesbian child, to educate and to support. Having attended many gay pride events, I can tell you point blank that the P-FLAG contingent in the marches at pride always, always, always drew the loudest applause from the onlookers. DC isn't a "state," but like all the other states, it had its own chapter to serve the greater DC/MD/VA area. The DC chapter's office was physically located in the same space with the national headquarters, on K St., NW, in DC. And at that time, '94, there was a big, big, push to include the "T" part of GLBT. So, psychologically and work-wise, I would have been fine to begin transitioning. I even sought out a therapist who specialized in gender identity, which was my first actual step in transitioning back then…
The problem was that I didn't have the money to transition. Therapy, specialists, testosterone, gender reassignment surgery — they all cost money, and were not covered by insurance. On disability and working part-time, I was barely scraping by, renting rooms in group houses. I had some anguishing conversations with my C, who was my best friend at the time, and with my former partner, Donna, before she went off the rails. But especially with C. Now that I finally, finally, finally understood the dilemma I'd lived out all those years, I wanted / needed to transition immediately, ASAP. I was also fortunate that my eye problems had been mostly resolved when the tube had been implanted in my left eye while I worked for P-FLAG. Thus, without having to concern myself with frequent eye surgeries interrupting employment, I knew I could get a full-time job and use my computer science degree. I had to get a real, full-time job to finance transitioning, and I wanted to do it anyway, because I was tired, tired, tired of living in poverty. HOWEVER, getting a "real" job meant I had to go back to "looking like a woman." Oh, my, the dilemma!!! I grappled, trying to explain to C why putting off transitioning would be an excruciating delay…
Yet fortune smiled on me again, because we hit the dot-com bubble, and my computer skills were in high demand. They didn't care what I looked like at work, as long as I was able to do the technical stuff. So I shaved off my hair (mentioned often in previous posts). You might question that one. I can't tell you how many times I went to up-scale unisex salons and asked for haircuts like a man would get. I would point at pictures, ask for it outright, and every single time, I'd walk out of the salon, I'd walk out with a semi-frilly cut that still appeared feminine to me. I was paying $20 and $30 a pop for haircuts, and still frustrated. That is why I opted to shave my head. I was making good money, and I bought men's shirts at Gap and Banana Republic, etc. I wore blue jeans in the winter to work (because I couldn't get men's slacks to work with my hips and my height). If I felt like "dressing up," I wore a tie to work with a dress shirt. If I felt like "dressing down," I wore a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, or a hoodie. My feet were too small to wear men's shoes, so I bought sneakers that looked like men's, or wore work-boots, Lugz, Doc Martin's, etc. Or sometimes, "big boy's" shoes that didn't look too childish. My body dysphoria was as under-control as I could get it. There were a few snipes from co-workers here and there. But I had my computer skills, and i was respected for what I did and what I could produce, and paid well. I just couldn't announce, "I'm a guy, I'm transgendered, I'm going to transition, stop treating me like a woman!!" It was a hard and frustrating time. There was sexism. Despite my appearance, I was still perceived to be a woman and treated like a woman. So even with my skills, male employees were tacitly given the "higher authority." So, so, so frustrating. I just wanted to be "One of the guys…"
I needed so badly to transition by then that I took the first step and legally changed my name. The "good part" of changing my name was that I no longer had to endure my odious female name. A relief!!! The "bad part" of changing my name at that stage was that I had to choose a unisex name. I wrestled with that for a good while. Chris, Lee, Jamie, etc, etc, etc. Finally settled on Terry. Everyone at my work was wonderful. Immediately began calling me "Terry" without even a single misstep. My partner (Kim) called me Terry. My friends called me Terry. Everyone but my mother. Oh well.
Eventually, the pressure to transition became so intense that it was do-or-die. Now I had another dilemma. Would I lose my job if I transitioned? (I am leaving out a couple of historical facts because they'd be too lengthy and tedious.) I didn't want to go back to poverty or give up my professional success. Everything colluded at once… more eye problems, SEVERE neck pain from the repetitive injury of leaning toward the computer monitor with my head tilted to the left to see out of my "good" right eye. Depression from the long years of not comprehending that I was transgendered, forced to live in the world as a woman, then fully realizing I was transgendered (what that meant and what I could do about it), but not being able to afford transitioning yet, biding my time as I built my career. And difficulties in my relationship with Kim. Among other things…
Long story short, I now had the funds to transition. I needed another eye surgery (my second cornea transplant). I decided it was better to resign my job, transition from female to male, and then hopefully rebuild my career. I could have what I hoped would be my last eye surgery in the meanwhile, and everything would be neat and tidy. I did not anticipate that Kim was ultimately going to leave me, or that I would encounter the psychopathic intern in this period. My transitioning went so smoothly, it was amazing. Bam-bam-bam. Letter from therapist specializing in gender issues. Letter from psychiatrist stating that I was not insane, and that I was mentally and emotionally competent to take this step. Top surgery performed by Dr. Fischer in Timonium, Maryland. Testosterone prescribed by endocrinologist (with a brief flurry from my gastroenterologist because of my liver condition). Full and complete hysterectomy performed by Dr. Goodman in Montgomery County, MD. Bottom surgery performed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, by Dr. Yves Menard (two trips to Canada — one for the initial surgery; second for testicular implants). (And emergency gall bladder surgery in the middle of all that…) All paid for on MY DIME, from my work, from MY savings. I was lucky, lucky, lucky. Non-driver's ID changed to show male marker. Birth certificate amended to show male marker. Passport reissued to show male marker. Social Security notified to have me recorded as male. College transcripts amended to show me as male. (With legal name change done for all of those.) Wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.
Soz…. Testosterone started in 2000; bottom surgery completed in 2004, and that last one to the tune of $15,333:
The hardest of hard parts for me was the horrible, interminable "middle ground," waiting as the testosterone kicked in. I was already appearing quite male well before bottom surgery, and no one could see what was in my pants. In that "Is it a man or is it a woman?" phase which improved over time… Look in the mirror … is that another new hair on my cheek?!? If I rub Rogaine on my chest, will it make my hair grow faster?? Oh, no — someone ma'am-ed me, even with all this?? 😦 My hairline is taking too long to recede to a male form!! Ooops, I'm getting hair in the one place I didn't want / expect it!!
So this is the long story of my transitioning, beginning at age 3 or 4…. Progressing along the arc to 1977 and again in 1994. Name change was done in 1999. Testosterone started in 2000, and also top surgery. Perceived to be male by most people, 2001-2002. Full and complete hysterectomy in 2003. (And don'tcha know, it's rather odd to be sitting in the gynecologist's office for a hysterectomy consult when you look like a guy?) Bottom surgery, 2004. A heck of a long odyssey, and body and soul are, kiss the ground I walk on, congruent. (I knew there was a reason why they made me take geometry … my crazy humor and thinking about congruent angles. Sorry.)
I could digress about how I abhor the false "two gender" dichotomy, but I'll save that for another post. Even though I do possess some feminine qualities, which I don't mind, I am personally much closer to the male end of the spectrum. I have no quibble with those who fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Diversity is the cherry sitting atop the whipped cream, and this an analog world.
You might sigh and think you're off the hook and I'm done babbling, but I'm not… 🙂
I really wanted to call your attention to the website I listed at the beginning. As I wrote, if you scroll down just a bit, you will see the picture of the young Kitt Kling aka Alex Fox. I met Kitt in 2000, when I started to (um, really) transition and he was already looking a bit "grizzly." However, that's not true. The first I set eyes on Kitt was in 1994, when I was dating B. We'd gone to gay pride in DC. I'd wandered among the endless tables and booths. I saw a table with a banner that said "transgendered." B and I hadn't had many of our conversations yet. Wanting to understand her better (but really wanting to understand myself better), I approached the table with the "transgender" banner. Young Kitt was standing behind that table. Unlike most of the other booths and tables, his was empty of people. He smiled warmly and asked me if I was considering transitioning, as I recall, while I browsed the pamphlets. "No, my girlfriend is transgendered." Kitt looked disappointed. I'm sure he thought he'd found a "brother." Never did I dream that I would meet him 6 years later and that I would be friends with him for 14 years, and that he would then die on Sunday. 😦
Kitt really was among the FTM heroes, which is why his face is on that page I referenced at top. Look at the other people on the page. A few of the names you will or may recognize. Most you won't. Me, some of the names I knew as far back as 1991 or 1992 … before I moved to DC and before I met B and before I consciously realized that I was transgendered, but yet the idea was clanging around in my head. I saw these guys leading the charge, paving the way. As the Internet was in its burgeoning infancy, I heard of them, read of them, was intrigued by them, saw myself in them, but couldn't work it out in my conscious mind.
Here are a few of the names:
- Jamison Green
- Stephen Whittle
- Spencer Bergstedt
- Loren Cameron
- Michael Munson
- Stephen Thorne
- Jason Cromwell
- David Harrison
- Michael Kantaris
- C. Michael Woodward
- C. Jacob Hale
- Alexander Michael Goodrum
- Louis Sullivan
- Billy Tipton
Billy Tipton's Sweet Georgia Brown:
These are big names in the FTM community. Philosopher, attorney, playwright, anthropologist, photographer, police officer, musician, author, activist and more — each one left their mark. I met Jamison Green at Kitt's house around 2003 or 2004?, though he doesn't remember meeting me since I was a nobody. I went to a presentation given by Loren Cameron of his photographic work documenting transmasculine bodies. Oddly enough, the presentation was at the old lesbian bookstore, Lammas, in DC!! The last 3 guys on the list are deceased (as is Kitt now). Billy Tipton, in particular, will be familiar to many non-GLBT people. Several of the other guys, I do not know in any fashion personally or tangentially, but are on my Facebook friend list, and I have followed them since around '92 or whenever they entered the scene. Others, I don't know in any form whatsoever, but have heard and followed their stories. Many / most FTMs, will know these names. There are other significant names that might ought to be on the list — Leslie Feinberg, who wrote Stone Butch Blues ("Published in 1993, this brave, original novel is considered to be the finest account ever written of the complexities of a transgendered existence"). Feinberg didn't identify as FTM ("Feinberg describes herself as a "white, working class, secular Jewish, transgender lesbian. Feinberg personally uses she or ze to describe her/hirself"), but most certainly paved the way for us, explaining what a "stone butch" is. Before I met B, I had the chance to attended a speaking engagement and book-signing by Feinberg. I was still proudly wearing a black t-shirt that said, in bold with letters, "BUTCH BOTTOM"!!! After the talk, I lingered in the audience, and eventually got a bear hug from Feinberg.
Even Kate Bornstein deserves honorable mention in the FTM pantheon. She wrote Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us.
I met Kate at a book-signing at the old Lambda Rising bookstore in Dupont Circle in DC. I got a hug from her, too, and an autographed copy of her book (lost in my Paula fiasco)!!!!
So yeah. There's Martin Luther King, Jr, and there's Rosa Parks, and lesser known names that we white people may not recognize. The lesser known names are just as important because they laid a stone in the pavement. It's similar within the FTM community. With his human flaws and trials and tribulations, Kitt's name deserves to be a big one in the FTM pantheon.
Kitt's accomplishments were many:
- Founded Alex's Garage — a now-defunct website existing in the old days of dial-up modems with a comprehensive list of FTM resources then available and a BBS-like chat capability which could be reached by hopeful FTMs around the nation (if they could afford the long-distance charges…)
- Appeared on the Phil Donahue Show, as best as friends and acquaintances can remember
- Created the BaltWashAnnapGuys Yahoo list-serve for FTMs in the Baltimore, MD / Washington, DC / Annapolis, MD triangle, first organization of its kind in this area
- Organized weekly local social gatherings at a safe and "friendly" restaurant for the members of the above list-serve where we could travel the path together, laugh, cry, support each, other and guess who was going to grow a beard faster 🙂
- Highly involved in the True Spirit Conference that met annually in Washington, DC, for many years
- Speaking engagements in many venues
- Activist for GLBT rights — for example, participated in a counter-protest against the odious Westboro Baptist Church ("widely described as a hate group") — "Kitt Kling, of Old Greenbelt, said it was important to be at the counter-protest to support the students. 'I have a number of members of my family that fit into the LGBT spectrum and its like Phelps and his gang of marauders, just don't belong in our neighborhood,' Kling said. Kling joined more than 200 people showed up to exercise their First Amendment rights to protest." (I was with him that day, as was his son.)
- Extensive lobbying on Capitol Hill oh behalf of GLBT, and especially, transgender rights
- Participation in many transgender-related conferences of various types around the country
- Friend and mentor to many

I could not have accomplished my long journey from female to male had it not been for Kitt and his friendship. So his friendship and mentoring played a hugely significant role in my life. Kitt Kling deserves to be in the pantheon of FTM heroes. That is why I am devoting another post in honor of his memory.
Love you, Kitt. You will not be forgotten. ❤

The Queen of Kabuikicho
If you've already been listening to Japanese music for a while you will probably know already, or be familiar of this name. DAGA SHIKASHI! (however!) she is such an awesome talent that I thought it was worth it to inform those who don't know of her. ....
....But now that I think about it shouldn't I introduce here later since pretty much noones going to be reading this blog when its just started? ・・・( ̄  ̄;)
Well guess I gotta start somewhere.Ok lets restart.
Birth: 25 November 1978
Personally one of my top favourite musicians, Shiina Ringo (Ringo means apple in Japanese) was extremely influential musician in the Jpop scene around the late 1990's and early 2000's and has continued to become an extremely respected artist in the industry and public. However, most of her music isn't your typical Jpop kind of music in both sound and lyrics.It also spans many genres from pop, rock, jazz to some others that don't really have a genre, and employs lots of different types of instruments, especially in live performances (eg, melodica).
She has an easily recognisable voice and also rolls her r's, which is quite unique among female singers, as it is quite an masculine way of pronunciation in the Japanese language (mostly people with an attitude and yakuza talk that way). She definitely emits an aura of a strong personality though, so to me this seems fairly appropriate.
She debuted in 1998 with the single "Kofukuron" (Happiness Theory) which didn't do too well, but became a hit when she re-released it later on when she was much more popular. The video depicts Ringo with angel wings, which alludes to scars from an operation on her shoulder blades, which look as though a pair of wings were cut off.
Her big break came shortly afterwards in her third next single, "Koko de Kiss Shite" (Kiss Me Here) which was much more poppy than her previous singles lyrically, but nonetheless a great tune and a classic J-Pop love song. The video for her next single "Honnou" (Instinct) is probably the one that most Japanese people (well..at least male) would remember her by though as she dresses in a Nurse outfit and punches and kicks through sheets of glass and does some saucy stuff with a female patient haha.
I won't keep talking about the singles that she has released from now as that would take ages, and its probably better if you just check out wikipedia anyway :).
Shiina Ringo became a top star and a fashion icon among teens, and became one of the driving forces behind the female singer boom (alongside such heavy weight artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru) and encouraging them to write their own lyrics and music.
Her music videos are quite eccentric and have Ringo portray a different type of character in each one. These can be seen in what was supposed to be her last single, as she claimed that she would retire as "Shiina Ringo" after her third album.
It's extremely hard to say what her best songs are, as she just about has no "bad" songs. But I'll try and create a list of recommended songs. I'll also proabably end up introducing her albums too.
Personal Song Recommendations
Kuki (Stem)
Izonshou (Addiction)
Yami ni Furu Ame (Rain That Falls in the Darkness)
Tsumi to Batsu (Sin and Punishment)
Keikoku (Warning)
Another one that I've found recently and has been stuck in my head is this
The song is called Kimochi (feeling) and is a duet with Shutoku Mukai, the singer of the band Zazen Boys and formerly of Number Girl.
Anyway hopefully you weren't too bored reading this will enjoy Shiina Ringo's music.
Thanks if you made it this far.....

Most days as I drive to work with Cory (we carpool)there is a man with a wiry gray beard that greets us at our exit off Monument. I don't know his name. But he sits with a cardboard sign. It reads,
4 of those words, speak of pain, suffering, hardship. I guess what we might expect in a man asking for money, right? We expect a sad story. But one of them is something very different. This man's dignity. Creative. I have marveled at that sign for the last 9 or so months. Never handed him a dollar, but wondered. What is his story, so that this word remains. It makes me think he hasn't given up. there is something there, waiting to be engaged. It speaks of original glory. of God. of his hands over the six days of creation, of that image into man. what is this man's creativity?
I realized I have never thought to ask. I've been to busy getting to work so that I could create. so that I could start into my day that gives me the opportunity for much of that. and maybe my irony is that instead of holding a sign in my life, that says OLD, SICK, TIRED, CREATIVE, AND BROKE. I sign my signature on my email, Director of Development. which means, I help think through the creation process, and I even have to find money to make that possible. I guess, in some ways, I hold a sign that says only one of those CREATIVE. b/c who the hell wants to give to a dude who is sick, tired, creative, and broke. sadly, I don't want to admit the rest, only the creative part. but its more true than I want to admit. and the old is coming. one way or the other.
Maybe I need to see both the dignity, and depravity a bit more. live in both. hold my sign that confesses the gospel in me, how it delivers on some promises, and a few I have done my part to screw up. and some, I just don't really know what happened, but didn't quite work out the way I thought.
I am not sure, but I have decided to stop and see if I could get him breakfast, maybe pay for my time that he would normally collect some money during the rush hour, and ask him... what does that word mean to him. what does he create. what might he want to create.
I figured if I posted this on here, it will be my accountability. and I can follow up.
