A recent meeting of Port officials in Owendo, Gabon finalised details of precautions to be taken in an attempt to counter potential port congestion in Gabon resulting from the expected increase of maritime traffic due to the preparations of the soon to be hosted Africa Cup of Nations.
Gabon has spent more than 500 million Dollars as it prepares for next year's Africa Cup of Nations which the it is co-hosting with its neighbour, Equatorial Guinea.
Gabon is working around the clock to finish preparations before the kickoff on 21st January 2012. Although the main stadium has been completed Gabon remains hard at work preparing infrastructure to host the games.
It is anticipated that the already congested port will see increased imports of cars, wheat, malt, bitumen, frozen chicken, fish etc during the games and has, with immediate effect, granted cargoes related to the games priority over all other traffic.
More specifically, the ports' two main berths will give priority to Ro-Ro vessels carrying goods related to the tournament.
Vessels carrying cargoes such as cement, iron, gypsum or other bulk cargoes will be obliged to discharge on the roads.
As can be imagined these actions will impact shippers and carriers in many ways. Port congestion is likely to rise which may in turn give rise to cargo claims associated with time sensitive cargoes.
Discharging in unfamiliar conditions may also give rise to claims where there may be inadequate port infrastructure.
Any member who regularly calls to Gabon and more specifically is scheduled to call to Gabon during the games is advised to contact their local agent in Gabon for the latest information and guidance.
The games are scheduled to take place between 21st January 2012 ~ 12th February 2012.

Simple Woman's Daybook
FOR TODAY Tuesday...
Outside my window... there is a light breeze outside, very nice, warm but not too hot
I am thinking... if I am short waisted or long waisted, my friend did the leg work for me and here is the answer (how to tell)
I am thankful for... good health
I am wearing... jeans, because I haven't got my shorts ready for summer yet
I am remembering... my plan with my money, will exucute some of it tomorrow
I am going... hopefully to pick my daughter up from school
I am reading... finished The Inn At Shadow Lake by Janet Edgar
I am hoping... I enjoy the Pumpkin Patch order I did for my little girl, I had been wanting to do it for ages and didn't have the opportunity, lots where already sold, but they match what she already has and will be for all seasons, which means I am worried I have enough t-shirts
On my mind... how I still feel easily overwhelmed, like a very minor minor anxiety about my back, it must have given me a fright
Noticing that... I have to find a Mary costume for my little girl
Pondering these words... "It is boring being taken seriously all the time." ~ Trinny & Susannah and...
"Practicing Sabbath rest is one way of exercising humility" ~ Head Heart Hand blog post
From the kitchen... either bought quiche and salad or hamburgers from bought patties
Around the house... our eldest daughter has a nice boy who is a friend over for the first time, they are very quietly playing the wii with our youngest daughter as well
One of my favourite things... Justin Bieber's newer songs and the acoustic versions of the older songs, so smooth. Just stops them going old, not that they really do
From my picture journal... from my rose garden at the other house, where the catmint takes over lol

Preview for Saturday 20th September 2014
In Premier Division supported by Sportsform action all of the current top three clubs face home encounters. For league leaders Renhold United the visitors to face them at their Playing Field headquarters are Eastcotts AFC. Whilst at their own Playing Field base second place Marston Shelton Rovers face a tough looking fixture against fourth place Flitwick Town and over at Hitchin Road, third place Shefford Town & Campton will be fully aware its never an easy task to take the full three points off the visiting Caldecote.
After two consecutive home defeats perhaps AFC Turvey will be pleased to be on the road to Hurst Grove to face an outing against home side Lidlington United Sports who will be looking for a point or more to lift themselves off the bottom of the league table and perhaps above Pavenham who will almost certainly start second favourites when called upon by AFC Kempston Town & Bedford College.
Still in search of their first win of the season are Sandy who will en route for a Weston Park meeting against Wootton Blue Cross who sit just one point and one place above them in the league standings at the wrong end of the league table. Whilst for Ickwell & Old Warden its a trip to Lodge Road and a meeting with hosts Sharnbrook.
The final top flight game coming at Jubilee Playing Fields where hosts Wilstead receive a visit from the still unbeaten AFC Oakley M&DH.
In Division One supported by Wests Citroen Bedford action current league leaders Henlow will be looking to preserve their seasons 100% record when AFC Harlington come calling on them at Groveside seeking their first win of the season.Whilst second place Sundon Park Rangers face a much tougher encounter this week when they journey for a Rectory Road meeting with Shefford Town & Campton Reserves.
It's a third verses fifth clash at Crawley Road where hosts Cranfield United put their seasons unbeaten record on the line when visited by fifth place Meltis Albion. Whilst the club currently squeezed between them in the league table Elstow Abbey place their own seasons 100% record on the table when they head for a Mill Lane outing against a yet to win this season Potton Town.
Having had a far from happy return to the league last weekend Brache Sparta will hope for better when they make their home debut at Dallow Road, but things will not be easy as the visitors are sixth place AFC Kempston Town & Bedford College Reserves.
Sitting in second bottom place are Great Barford who will go into Fisher Close action against Marabese Ceramics where the task for both clubs will be to achieve their opening win of the season.
Other action comes at Gold Street, the venue at which hosts Riseley Sports receive a visit from Bedford SA and at King George VI Playing Fields where AFC Oakley M&DH Reserves go into home action against Queens Park Crescents.
In Division Two with league leaders Meltis Albion Reserves sitting the afternoon out, Westoning have the chance to climb to the top of the table when they play hosts to second from bottom of the table Kempston Con Club Sports at Greenfield Road and a win for Elstow Abbey Reserves at the Warren against bottom of the table Marston Shelton Rovers Reserves would also see them leap above the Meltis in the league standings.
Over at their Wootton Playing Field headquarters fifth place Wootton Village look to edge even closer to the top of the table with a victory over the visiting Renhold United Reserves, a comment that also applies to Kempston Hammers Sports when they go into home Cutler Hammer action against a yet to win Wilstead Reserves.
Other action coming at the Hockey Centre, the venue at which hosts Bedford United face Clapham Sports and at Harvey Close where Caldecote Reserves entertain local rivals Moggerhanger United.
For Division three league leaders Cranfield United Reserves its a trip to Bedford Road Recreation Ground to face Sandy Reserves and should they fail to collect all three points their position at the head of the table could be taking over by either Dinamo Flitwick or Flitwick Town Reserves should a positive result either way come from their meeting on the 3G surface at Redborne School.
Also in with a chance of claiming that top spot depending on the results of the above two games going their way are Atletico Europa who will be fully expected to gain the full three points from their trip to Horseshoes Close where they will be hosted by bottom of the table Moggerhanger United Reserves.
Down on the Green based on last weekends result Shefford Town & Campton A will be the favourites to gain the three points from the hosting Ickwell & Old Warden Reserves. Whilst just down the road at Harvey Close, second from bottom of the table Caldecote U20 look for their first point/points of the season when called upon by Clifton.
Other action comes at Bedford Academy, the venue at which FC Serbia play hosts to Lea Sports PSG and at Sandy Place Academy where Mid Beds Tigers host the visiting Westoning U20.

(WA) Get It Now ... Trade Route's Feurbier Smoked Ale
Pacifc, WA – Word has come from head brewer Janelle Pritchard that their Fall seasonal release is fresh off the tanks and ready to be tasted, at a festival near you.
Named Feuerbier Smoked Ale, this beer has been brewed with a strong nod to German-style smoked ales, from Bamberg Germany. For the impatient you can expect to see this beer at Hops & Crops at the Mary Olson Farm (Auburn, WA 9/25), Fremont Oktoberfest (Seattle, WA 9/24-9/26), and the Anacortes Oktoberfest (Anacortes, WA 10/9). But if the prospect of waiting a few days is off-putting, you can visit the brewery now for a pint to sample.
For us we had to know more about this beer that is from a style we admire and seek out. Here's what Janelle had to say about Feuerbier Smoked Ale.
"... describes the beer as "slightly sweet with delicious smoky notes and a clean finish." Inspired by the classic Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier of Bamberg, Germany, this beer was brewed with a new world twist by combining an American cherry wood smoked malt with Special Belgian Crystal, Two-row and Carapils malts, a touch of German Tettnanger hops, and TRB's house ale yeast. Feuerbier Smoked Ale (German for "fire beer") has the aroma and warm orange glow of autumn campfires. "We wanted a name which reflected its German heritage as well as evoking the flavor of this new ale" she added.
"I'm very pleased with the balance we achieved between the richness of the smoked malt and the flavors of underlying beer" continued Pritchard. With an ABV of 5.6% this ale can be enjoyed through several pints and has already proven popular with taproom regulars as well as area brewers. "I poured Feuerbier at a charity event in Georgetown recently, and many of the other brewers attending came back for seconds and thirds" she remembered, "I've also had brewers ask about the recipe, so I hope I've helped to create an awareness of possibilities of this unique product from the Breiss Malting Company."
As always if you want to see this or other Trade Route beers at your favorite alehouse, ask them to get a keg!
About Trade Route Brewing

How do you host a group of 30 knitters when you live in a small condo? For Anna Davidson, the answer is easy. She simply heads down the hallway from her two-bedroom unit and opens the door to her building's large common room, where mismatched furniture, colourful rugs and plenty of plants create a cosy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for an evening of crafting.
While condo living often requires downsizing and living with less stuff, residents like Davidson learn to make up for reduced personal space by making the most of their building's shared amenities.
At the Cameron Avenue Cohousing Co-op in Edmonton's Riverdale community, the "other living room," as Davidson calls it, is easily booked at no charge. Residents just have to sign up on a calendar on the room's door and ensure the room is cleaned up within 24 hours.
So when Davidson and Kalea Turner-Beckman decided to start The Alberta Yarn Project, a crafting collective highlighting yarn made in Alberta, the common room seemed like a good fit for their project's Craft and Draught nights. Attendees enjoy all things local, including yarn, beer, wine, mead, even grilled cheese.
On a Sunday in mid-December, Davidson and Turner-Beckman hosted their fourth Craft and Draught night, with about 30 knitters gathered in small circles throughout the common room. The open space has a full kitchen and a pool table, which was used to display yarn and knitting patterns.
"It's a very inviting space.
It's like being in someone's living room; it's relaxed and comfortable," Davidson said.
Davidson and Turner-Beckman dream of eventually opening a co-operatively run retail space that sells local yarn and local beer, but for now they're hosting regular crafting nights (the next one is Jan. 5) at the common room.
Davidson, who has lived in the building since May 2013, is used to living small. Her previous apartment was about the same size as where she lives now, but her current unit has more storage space and less living space.
"With the common room, it's like we have an extended living space," she said. "I like having it there as a casual space, to do yoga, watch movies, play games."
It's not uncommon to walk in and join neighbours for a movie or game, Davidson said.
"I can understand why common spaces go unused, because we have this culture of 'this is my little space in my little condo, it's mine.' It can be scary to share these spaces, but I think it's important to have communal space," Davidson said.
Carol Maier is another condo dweller who enjoys her building's common areas. A party room, craft room, woodworking shop, guest suites and libraries are some of the amenities at Heritage Crystal Manor, the Sherwood Park condo building where Maier and her husband live.
Maier said the decision to downsize from a house to a condo more than a decade ago was a practical one as she and her husband grew older.
"I didn't want to move; I loved the house," Maier said. "But I've been here 13 years and I like it more and more each year."
The party room sees a lot of action, from monthly pancake breakfasts, birthday parties and communal dinners to a recent Christmas concert for residents both of this building and of neighbouring ones as well. The room can also be rented out to residents for their own events for a $50 fee, Maier said.
"The reason we can all get together is because we have that space, the remarkably large party room," Maier said.
Residents also make use of the four-storey building's lesser used shared spaces, including vestibules, alcoves, staircases and landings, by decorating them extensively each Christmas.
"People take a lot of care in decorating, and it's a lot of fun too," she said.

The bond market has been fascinating lately for sure. Sentiment has been in one direction while price has gone in the complete opposite. Everyone seems to expect rates to rise and therefore bonds to fall. Position data certainly suggests that - the Commercial Hedgers have had a historic net long position. In other words, while the crowd assumes rates are going higher, the smart money is betting on the complete opposite happening. The ultimate arbiter, of course, is price. So today we want to take a look at what the intermarket components of the bond market are suggesting about the future of interest rates.
Here we're looking at a chart of the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) relative to traditional US Treasury Bonds. Since the par value of TIPS moves up and down based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), it gives us a good gauge of inflation, especially when compared to traditional US Treasury Bonds. So here is a chart of $TIP vs $TLT with the U.S. 10-year yield plotted below:
Interest rates go up to counter inflationary factors while falling rates are pricing in lower inflation expectations. This chart shows the correlation well. I find it to be useful in helping come up with a conclusion about the next direction of interest rates. The TIP/TLT ratio looks like a nasty failed breakout above the downtrend line from the 2011 highs. If you recall, this was the point that commodities and emerging markets put in their highs. The risk here is to the downside.
So if you're wondering where US Interest Rates are heading, it's hard to make a bet that they're going higher any time soon. The risk here is to the downside.

Beverly Sparks couldn't explain why she felt the way she did. What was happening to her? She loved her family, but recently she'd grown cold toward family gatherings. Now widowed for nearly five years, she set the family in an uproar when she announced at Thanksgiving dinner that she would not be joining them for Christmas. She was going on a cruise
Emily, her eldest, "Miss Butt-in-sky" wouldn't stand for her mother traveling alone. She asked Mr. Melvin (the family's mechanic) to travel incognito to keep an eye on her. However, Emily had no idea that he had been secretly in love with Beverly, even before her husband died. Would things aboard ship go as Melvin planned, or would this be Beverly's worst Christmas ever?

Despite holding hands with Mike on the boardwalk (and, um, sucking face with him in da club), Sammi finished out the night by telling "The Situation" to shove it -- and professing her undying love attraction to Ronnie. And while we kinda got it at first (sure, Ronnie's hot in a Cartman/Beefcake sorta way), one look at Mike's sad, puppy dog eyes and we couldn't help wondering: did Sammi the Sweetheart make the right decision?
Ignoring the fact that in-house romance is generally a bad idea to begin with, we wanna know if Sammi picked the right New Joysian for the job! Think she's better off with the Human He-Man? Or should she have made off with muscle-bound Mike instead? Take the poll and tell us which of Sammi's six-packed suitors makes a better catch!
Who should be Sammi's 'Jersey Shore' sweetheart?

Batman Begins (spoilers)
Whit , 4 Comments
Batman Begins!! I have to say I am not typically very excited about Superhero movies. This one is FABULOUS, though. I really loved it!
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
"You're not the devil. You're just practice."
"You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident."
"And you can borrow the Rolls if you like. Just bring it back with a full tank."
"Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's understanding."
"A grown man who runs around the city dressed as a bat clearly has issues."
And, of course --
"Well, you know how it is, Mr Fox. You're out at night, looking for kicks and someone's passing around the weaponised Hallucinogens."

I have something to confess to you, dear readers. Going to work has been a real struggle recently.
It's going to sound like I'm dwelling and obsessing, which probably is true, but I have felt so, so, so unmotivated ever since a very undeserving person received a promotion back in April. Seriously, just getting up in time to get to work has been such a struggle. I mean, why rush if she barely shows up and gets promoted anyway, right?
It's also frustrating because I'm getting a bit bored with my position. I've been doing it long enough that I've got things down. I've improved so, so much since starting at this job. I'm ready for the next level. I'm also not expecting it to happen. I hate to sound like a broken record, but it's just so… frustrating.
Remember the undeserving person in question who managed to get that promotion? (I don't know if I've ever said this, but she started at the company around the same time I did and until the promotion this April, we were at the same level.) Guess how much she worked last week, the week of July 23? Have a number in your head? Maybe you're thinking 5 days, like a normal work week?
Well, dear reader, you would be wrong. She worked a grand total of 1.5 days. Yes, you read that right. One-and-a-half days. Yet she gets promoted to the next level up. If I don't deserve a promotion, she definitely doesn't.
Okay, rant over. I promise we'll return to regularly scheduled programming concerning books I've read, writing projects I'm working on, and random fun things from my life next time I write a blog post. I just had to vent about this and get it off my chest.
(Unless you like reading about work drama. If you like posts like this, I can definitely oblige and give you more. Believe me, there's more where it came from… 😉 )

Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
Andrew Scales
July 16, 2017
When I was a sophomore in high school, I played exactly one season of football, and I was very bad at it. I was a few inches shorter than I am now, and about twenty-five pounds lighter, which meant that I was essentially thrown around like a rag doll on the practice field. Some of my teammates were two hundred and fifty, three hundred pounds, and I had basically no hand-eye coordination. It became evident to me and everyone on my team very quickly that this was a bad idea.
For weeks, I went to every practice and ended up becoming a tackling dummy for the guys on the defensive line. I suited up for every game, and spent the whole time on the sidelines. I never got better, I never really learned the plays, I kept showing up and failing hard.
Halfway through the season, we had our usual Friday night game, followed by a 7 a.m. Saturday morning practice. I wasn't quite sixteen yet, and so my dad would drive me over to the field. But on that Saturday morning, I sat in my dad's car and broke into tears. Why am I still doing this when I don't get to play? Why train, and get hit all the time, and put my best effort into it, when I just end up on the sidelines? I told my dad I wasn't going to practice that morning, I wouldn't be going to practice anymore at all. I quit.
My dad sat there for awhile and listened to me sobbing in the car, and then he said, "Andrew, you may not realize it right now, but this is a very important moment in your life. You made a promise to your teammates and your coaches that you would be there, no matter what. You have to finish this season; you don't have to touch a football ever again after that, but you need to finish what you start. I promise you, you're not going to do it alone; I'll be there with you." So I nodded, and wiped the snot from my nose, and we drove to practice.
Late in October, I suited up yet again for a Friday night home game. The air was getting chilly, the bleachers were packed with parents and schoolmates in their scarves and coats. Sometime in the first quarter, it started to drizzle a little bit. By the second quarter, the rain came down hard in icy sheets. Everybody in the bleachers started the familiar exodus up the steps to the gym to wait out the storm while the game continued on the field.
I was on the sideline, freezing cold in the rain. But when I looked out in the stands behind me, there was one person left. My dad was sitting there, holding his umbrella, nodding at me. Coach didn't end up putting me in that night; in fact, I hardly watched the game at all. I just stood there, back turned to the field, watching my dad, my dad watching me, nodding at each other, understanding each other.
I think my dad thought he was teaching me the value of hard work, that if you try hard and practice, you'll be rewarded with becoming good at something. But I didn't get good at football, I never played again after the awards ceremony that year. I learned something else though: even though I tried and failed miserably, it didn't change my dad's love for me.
Jesus tells a story in Matthew's Gospel, too, about following him as disciple, encountering failure, and discovering that we are loved beyond our ability to understand.
Jesus' parable of the sower is frustratingly frank: failure is an inescapable part of the Christian life. His call to discipleship is not easy; it can be frustratingly hard. Sometimes bearing witness to the Kingdom of God takes root and flourishes; sometimes it doesn't. But God is faithful still. That, Jesus explains, is how proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven works.
Let's step back and get our bearings for a moment. Matthew writes that great crowds have followed Jesus throughout Galilee to hear him preach about the Kingdom of Heaven. It was so suffocating in the house where Jesus was staying that he heads out to the shoreline to teach in the open air. The beach gets too crowded, so Jesus climbs into a boat and his disciples push him a little ways off the shore. Everyone is waiting, watching, listening. This is Jesus' moment to make his mark as a teacher, a Jewish rabbi who talks about the reign of God breaking into their lives.
Jesus begins with a story from their everyday experience: a sower scatters seed around in her field. The sowing does not go well: the more time passes, the more problems arise. Some of the seeds land on the footpath, and the birds get to them and gobble them up. A few seeds have a promising start and shoot up quickly, but the soil turns out to be shallow. The plants look good at first, but their roots cannot deepen to draw enough water. The little plants burn up under the pitiless sun before they can put forth a flower.
A few days pass, the growing season continues, and even more promising plants start to lose out to competing thorn-bushes. The sower either doesn't have the time to dig out those nasty weeds, or she knows that doing so will uproot and kill both the good and the bad plants. So those plants don't make it either; they end up stunted in the shadow of plants that are useless. So far, not so good. The count at this point is failure, failure, failure.
Can you imagine the sower going out into her field every morning at dawn, checking to see if her crop is still there? That bag of seed she scattered was probably all she had from last season's harvest. There isn't a Lowe's she can go to and buy new seedlings if all the ones she started with die off, like Len and I have been doing with our herb garden this summer. This is the only option—this has to work; a harvest must come, or she won't have crops to sell. She might not have enough to eat or plant next year. There's more riding on these plants' survival than we hobby gardeners realize. This is a matter of feast or famine, life or death.
But in some places, the soil is good, the seeds take root, and they grow up in spite of all the threats we can imagine. Some plants flourish and bring forth an abundant harvest. The sower will be able to eat, to sell in the market, to set some seeds aside for sowing in the new planting season.
As the sower puts her grain in the storehouse, the rhythms begin all over again with the same challenges as before. Failure, failure, failure, and yet… wildly abundant harvest beyond imagining. That's the end of Jesus' story. That's what God's Kingdom is like.
The folks who gathered on the beach to hear Jesus are scratching their heads; the disciples take Jesus aside and say they could use a little more explanation: "Come on, Jesus! Make it plain!" But Jesus has made it plain: love other people, knowing that we will fail, and trusting that God will make that love grow, even if it comes to fruition beyond our ability to see.
Sometimes the more we try to love people, the harder it can be to do so. For the past few weeks, Len and I have been meeting with about ten to twelve of the graduate students and young adults involved with Princeton Presbyterians for a summer book club here at Nassau Presbyterian Church. We've been reading Sara Miles' book Take This Bread, which is about Miles' experience of conversion to Christianity. Sara, who grew up without a religious tradition, has a powerful spiritual experience sharing the Eucharist during worship as a visitor at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church. But more than that, the book chronicles her continuing evolution as a believer as she founds a food pantry out of that parish in the Mission District of San Francisco.
Before she converted to Christianity, Sara lived as a journalist in Central America through civil wars in El Salvador and Central America during the eighties. She worked as a cook in various kitchens in New York City. She lived much of her life mostly unaware of what church was or why it mattered to people. And yet, somehow, in her forties, the experience of sharing in the bread and wine at Jesus' Table, surrounded by fellow human beings who are both sinners and unfathomably loved by God, was this transformative moment that changed the course of her life forever. She discovers in taking that bread and cup that she was hungering, longing for something that she could not name, and she is stunned to find what she longed for was Jesus Christ.
Communion, the Lord's Table where all are fed, inspires Sara to start a food pantry at her church. Much of the book focuses on Sara's work running that pantry, attempting to serve anyone who comes without barriers to entry. And one of the things that impresses me so much about her writing is that she does not hide how frustrating it can be to love and serve other human beings.
There are times when she is startlingly honest about her failure to love folks who come to the pantry. Life at the pantry is messy, and she has bad, rotten days like everyone else because she's in a bad mood, or because she's fed up with the stresses of keeping a small non-profit afloat. Sometimes the supply of food runs short, and they have to turn hungry people away. Sometimes her own pride gets in the way of listening to people who disagree with her about how the pantry should be run. Sometimes she lets her work get in the way of life with her daughter, Katie, and her wife, Martha. There are failures and shortcomings and frustrations that bubble up in almost every chapter.
The book Take This Bread talks so much about failure, but at the same time it's about the beautiful way God nourishes people through the Lord's Supper. Communion happens at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church not just during Sunday services, but on the Friday afternoons when people line up to take home bags of rice, an armload of vegetables, a loaf of bread. God takes up ordinary human things like bread and wine, a food pantry, a gathering of neighbors who otherwise don't know one another, and transforms them into a sign of the feast of the Kingdom of God. It's a story about failure, failure, failure, and yet… wildly abundant harvest beyond imagining.
Jesus' parable of the sower, and Sara Miles' book Take This Bread made me realize this week how much of the Gospel is about God's faithfulness and steadfast love beyond our ability to respond successfully. The disciples are the "good fruit" in this story, the ones who supposedly hear the word and understand. But as the story of Matthew's Gospel goes on, the disciples try their best to follow Jesus, and fail spectacularly. The disciples! The people who knew Jesus best, and followed him everywhere from Galilee to Jerusalem, and preached alongside him, and healed crowds of sick persons with him, and fed five thousand with him. The disciples go all the way to the hill of the cross with Jesus, and abandon him when he needed them most. What hope can we have if we know the story of even the best disciples ends in failure?
I think the parable makes sense when we pause to remember that it's Jesus telling us the story. The biblical scholar Ulrich Luz writes in his Matthew commentary that this parable can only be understood in light of the risen Jesus' last words to his disciples in Matthew's Gospel. Jesus says to them, "Remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Jesus promises to be faithful in love, never to forsake us, even when we fail and fall short as his disciples. Jesus, who was rejected in his hometown, deserted by his friends, crucified alone in shame, stands risen from the dead in front of those same friends in Galilee, speaking a promise of steadfast love despite their shortcomings.
Yes, God has a way of doing something with works of love that turns the world inside out. Yes, friends, I'll say it again another way: amid the struggles and failures and catastrophes of our lives, God brings the Kingdom into this world through God's own steadfast love. The risen Jesus calls us to be faithful in loving our neighbors regardless of whether it looks like a success or not. And some of us may be a part of something that bears abundant fruit; some of us may struggle in serving others with little to show for it.
And the more we try to love people, as Sara Miles tried with all her heart to love people at her food pantry, the more we become aware of how we fail at trying to do so. The risen Jesus loves us just the same. Jesus calls again and again, "Follow me!" without condemnation. The flourishing is up to the living God, the God who raised Jesus from the dead.
The freedom of a Christian lies in this: we persevere and fail, and yet there is a faithful God who welcomes us, even us, into the Kingdom life of joy, love, and peace. Anyone with ears, let them hear. Amen.

Nature photography is generally defined as the photographing of landscapes as well as plants and animals in their natural habitats. Purists do not consider any picture that includes man-made objects as a nature picture.
Some nature photography competitions stipulate that an image cannot be allowed to compete if it includes non-natural objects. This attitude would be commendable were it not for the fact that nowadays none of us live in untouched surroundings. Most of us live in towns and villages surrounded by buildings with little or no greenery.
For many the only nature they regularly come in contact is found in gardens and other man-made open spaces. For them, nature consists of cultivated flowers, trees and nature programs on television.
On the other hand for those who are tuned to nature there is much more. As they walk through a street, they see wild plants growing wherever there is some soil. Wild plants grow even in cracks on pavements. Vegetation attracts wildlife and though we do not have large animals we have an interesting variety of insects and other arthropods. Some of which even enter buildings including our home.
Sometimes unusual and interesting species such as the ant-lion end up in houses. Should one photograph an ant-lion on a wall? Yes, because although ant-lions normally spend the day resting on vegetation, the fact that it sometimes spends the day resting on a wall is of interest and worth recording.
This long-winged insect is active mostly in the evening and is more commonly found in sandy areas. The larva lives at the bottom of a funnel-like pit where it spends the day waiting for unwary ants to venture over the edge of the pit. The ants are unable climb out of the pit and fall to the bottom and are eaten by the ant-lion.
About 2,000 species of ant-lion are found world wide.

According to vocalist Tyler Smith, the new effort from Phoenix, Arizona-based metalcore outfit The Word Alive, is considered by the band to be the "most dynamic and expansive album to date", apparently due to desires from the various members to 'define and express' who they are, both individually and as a collective. Good stuff. However, alarm bells sound pretty much instantaneously after reading such profound statements from metalcore bands, which has been, at least for the past decade or so, in danger of growing extremely stale indeed. So I was pleasantly surprised with Dark Matter, which I'll say with confidence is one of the most innovative and inspiring releases offered to and from the metalcore scene in recent years.
The opener, Dreamer, wastes no time in assuring us that what The Word Alive have to say is worth bothering to listening to. Dreamy (no other applicable word, sorry) synths and ephemeral drum sequences pave the way for a soaring, genuinely memorable gateway for the album, and immediately spark interest in what this American quintet has to say. The lyrics are nothing special, and are a little contrived, but are nonetheless pleasantly interpersonal, offering some intimate glances into the lives of the members – but what's important about Dark Matter is that it offers some respite from the deluge of metalcore/technical metal currently making the rounds, and that's admirable in of itself.
As Dark Matter progresses with its punishing rhythms and abrasive instrumentation, we're introduced to tracks like Sellout and Face to Face, which make clear the comparisons to other similar bands of the genre such as letlive., Beartooth, and Architects, which is not at all a bad thing. Sellout itself is arguably one of Dark Matter's finest tracks, showcasing the band's ability to frequently switch between fist-pumping verses, time signature changes, and breakdowns, and passages of harmony and clean guitar. The video straight up fucking sucks, adding another contribution to the inundation of videos interspersed with grainy news clips of riots and civil unrest around the world, drenched in the overly familiar "What if, like, the government, man! Wake up!" narrative we're apparently so fond of, but I can't fault the band on that, and the track is solid, cementing the consistency of the album.
However, there are moments where Dark Matter does slow down quite drastically. Thankfully, it doesn't quite grind to a shuddering halt where all momentum and energy shuts down like other albums of the genre, but tracks such as Branded and Piece of Me do definitely feel like a lull in the flow of the album's dynamic. They're not quite filler, but somewhat of a detriment to the band's aforementioned message – maybe it's down to the other tracks on Dark Matter being so excellent. Even the female vocals on Piece of Me (and Oxy, another superb track) save it from being a total throwaway, especially as it reminds me of Alone With You by Fallujah, from The Flesh Prevails. And that album is flawless.
Another one of the (albeit rare) problems I had with Dark Matter is that, though by and large, it is a musically accomplished and impressive piece, there is a definite lack of lead guitar running through the album. Maybe as a guitarist myself I am biased, but I believe that a metalcore album, no matter how average or unimaginative, should bear some semblance of relatively intricate guitar work that sets itself apart from the rhythm section. Admittedly, there are brief glimpses into the potential skill of guitarists of Zack Hansen and Tony Pizzuti, such as a couple of minutes on Insane and the introduction of Trapped, but for the most part, it's fairly none existent. Quite disappointing from such a hyped and revered album from an equally as admired group.
However, what Dark Matter lacks in technical innovation it more than makes up for in atmosphere; The Word Alive have been careful to not overdo it, but the album is rich with drum samples and programming, complemented perfectly by the synths, strings, and keys that bring an unparalleled degree of richness to each and every song, especially the incredible opener Dreamer and equally as towering closer Oxy. It's by no means the perfect metalcore album (sorry lads, Avenged Sevenfold claimed that in 2003 with Waking the Fallen) but it's certainly a welcome paradigm shift in what the genre has currently has to offer. Good work.
The Word Alive mix synths, soaring vocals, and crushing breakdowns in an effort to revitalize a stagnant genre. For the most part, they succeed.

Fashion Networking
What is fashion networking?
Fashion networking – probably you have heard about it before but you are not sure what is all about. According to the definition social networking is " a grouping of the individuals into specific groups to meet other internet users in order to share common interest and develop business relations". Following this definition, fashion networking is a social online community of fashion professionals such as designers, models, photographers, etc. as well as individuals who simply love or are interested in trends and style. Fashion networks, similar as fashion directories, are also places where you can find many companies related to this industry that include rental studios, model agencies, art schools, manufacturers and retailers for the fashion products.
Fashion communities, the same as any other ones are not created, they evolve. The growth of an online community takes time and effort. Fashion is a business, fashion is a lifestyle. And in fashion, all across the town and around the world, connection is everything. Fashion networks are where work connects with online life and new ideas come alive. Is a common place for conversation and collaboration. Members of fashion communities have the chance to search efficiently for all information needed, join the discussions about latest trends, discover new faces, brands and companies in the industry.
The importance of fashion networking
In the past several days some fashion networks has thrived, some vanished while lots of new ones appeared. It has become a huge area to follow and every person in the industry is trying to follow this trend. The friends that you can make are just one of many benefits. The role that the internet can play in the branding, marketing and commercial strategies for fashion companies should not be underestimated. Fashion networks are not only online meeting points for young fashionistas with a small budget but also places boosting sale opportunities for luxury labels. At the same time, they are fashion portals where independent designers present their showcase and well established brands advertise their products.

So Eddie McGuire has been sent to counselling by Andrew Demetriou for his racist comments last week. He apparently is going to be educated on racial vilification.
Counselling is such a convenient solution. It's a feel good solution. It's not really a punishment like a fine but it is kind of a punishment because the person is being sent and they are meant to be contrite with their tail between their legs. Kind of like being sent to the headmasters office at primary school. Here is a grown man, Eddie everywhere, being treated like a child so it is a pseudo humiliating process and hence we have the punitive aspect of being sent to counselling in this instance.
However, having been a counsellor for 30 years I would love to be a fly on the wall and see what happens in Eddie's counselling session(s).
True counselling is a collaborative process particularly around the goals of the counselling. The counsellor and the client together work out what are the goals the client wants to achieve. What this means is no better illustrated than with a person who has been sent by the drug courts for counselling. The logic behind this is that the counselling is somehow going to correct the client and then they will not want to take drugs anymore.
I have counselled many such people and not uncommonly the client will say, "I see nothing wrong with taking drugs and I intend to keep taking them". The goal of the counselling has been clarified. From then on the counselling sessions are not about the person stopping taking drugs which contradicts the logic behind the whole process.
The logic behind Eddie's counselling is that he will come to see making racial comments is wrong and then he will want to stop making them or having that negative view point of other racial groups. The goal is to change his perception of the value or worth of himself and others.
That is a very difficult thing to do. To change ones basic values, view of racial groups and people in general is a difficult thing to do. And of course in his counselling Eddie may say that he has no intention of changing his views in this way and that he is quite happy with them. From that point on the counselling is no longer about Eddie becoming less racist. So in this way the whole process becomes a farce as the AFL has sent him to counselling so he will in some way come out less racist.
At that point it could stop being counselling and become a (re)education process for Eddie. It is no longer a counselling session but changes into an education session. These are two quite different things. Having said that counselling often does have an educative aspect but it is not a teacher - student relationship. That relationship is quite different to the counsellor - client relationship.
If someone is of the view that other racial groups are more primitive and ape like, simply giving them information (teaching them) that this is not so and why will have very little, if any impact on their racist views. One's basic value system does not change by simply acquiring factual information.
Even if one goes to the extent of 'Brain washing' that they tried in the 1950s and 1960s, that was a failure as well. It was discovered you cannot change people's basic view of societies or racial groups unless the person to some extent wants them to be changed. If that basic motivation is there then the counselling process can begin. If it is not there then Eddie's counselling session is going to be a waste of time as far as the AFL is concerned. The best outcome that could happen in the reeducation of Eddie is it allows him to become more subtle in how he expresses such views (hopefully keeping his views entirely to himself) but his basic views do not change.

Animaniacs is an American animated television series, distributed by Warner Bros. Television and produced by Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation. Animaniacs is the second animated series produced by the collaboration of Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. Animation during the animation renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The studio's first series, Tiny Toon Adventures, was a success among younger viewers, and attracted a sizable number of adult viewers.
The comedy of Animaniacs was a broad mix of old-fashioned wit, slapstick, pop culture references and cartoon violence. The show featured a number of comedic educational segments that covered subjects such as history, mathematics, geography, astronomy, science, and social studies, often in musical form. Animaniacs itself was a variety show, with short skits featuring a large cast of characters. While the show had no set format, the majority of episodes were composed of three short mini-episodes, each starring a different set of characters, and bridging segments.
Animaniacs first aired on Fox Kids from 1993 to 1995 and new episodes later appeared on The WB from 1995 to 1998 as part of its Kids' WB afternoon programming block. The series had a total of 99 episodes and one film, titled Wakko's Wish. Reruns of the show have aired on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Hub Network, and Teletoon Retro.

New Eclipse is well-deserved
NEW YORK - The announcement Friday that only one new Eclipse Award will be added to the lineup of championships for 2007 was met with surprise and disappointment in some quarters, given that as many as seven new championship divisions had been proposed and that several new Breeders' Cup races have been added this year. As a member of the committee that made the decision - Daily Racing Form co-presents the Eclipses with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and the National Turf Writers Association - I can provide a window into some of the thinking behind it.
The new Eclipse will be for a champion filly or mare sprinter, a choice that met with virtually unanimous approval from constituents of the three groups as well as an advisory committee of over 25 racing secretaries who participated in the process. The Eclipses currently honor a distaff equivalent in every other flat-racing division - 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, older horses, and grass horses - and the new Breeders' cup Filly and Mare Sprint provides an ideal year-end event for the division.
Another key element in its approval was agreement that there are a sufficient number of meaningful, established graded races in the division to fairly crown a champion on the basis of more than single performance. The 2007 racing calendar has 41 non-juvenile graded stakes for females at six to seven furlongs, 17 of them for 3-year-olds with the rest open to 3-year-olds and up.
With the new F&M Sprint race likely to receive Grade 1 status for its inaugural running, there will be five well-spaced, geographically diverse Grade 1 events in the older female sprint division: the Santa Monica at Santa Anita in January, the Humana Distaff at Churchill in May, the Princess Rooney at Calder in July, and the Ballerina at Saratoga in August leading up to the new race. Some of the current fall Grade 2's, such as the Gallant Bloom at Belmont and Raven Run at Keeneland, could be upgraded in years to come if they prove to be pivotal preps.
The other proposed Eclipse Awards that came closest to making the cut were ones for a 3-year-old male turf and a 3-year-old filly turf champion. This was a very close call that could have gone either way, and there was some extra momentum for adding them given the championship-caliber 2006 campaigns of Showing Up and Wait a While, who would have been easy and worthy choices last year.
These awards will be reconsidered in future years, but the prevailing feeling was that there may not yet be a sufficiently deep or well-defined path to these titles. There currently are only two Grade 1 races for 3-year-old grass males, the Secretariat at Arlington and the Hollywood Derby, and no one wants to add Grade 1 races restricted to 3-year-olds to the fall calendar, as these would diminish the existing 3-and-up races at a time of year when 3-year-olds should be meeting their elders. Those who do so successfully already are eligible for the male turf horse award, which was awarded to the 3-year-old Kitten's Joy three years ago.
The 3-year-old grass fillies have a deeper program, with four current Grade 1's - the American Oaks, Del Mar Oaks, Garden City, and Queen Elizabeth II - but opponents of a new award argued that there is nothing to stop voters from honoring a truly outstanding 3-year-old grass filly as either the champion female grass horse or, as happened with Wait a While this year, as the overall champion 3-year-old filly.
A proposed turf-sprinter award was quickly dismissed, as there are currently just nine graded turf sprints on the calendar, none above a Grade 3. A trickier matter is the question of whether and how to honor milers and how to parse such awards by gender and surface. There was no enthusiasm for creating four new awards to cover all permutations, but there is a lingering disconnect in the failure to honor milers at all, given how prized they are in international racing and breeding and that we now have two Breeders' Cup races for them.
The problem is that there are only two Grade 1 dirt miles for older males, both in New York, the Metropolitan and the Cigar Mile, and that several prominent tracks are unable to offer one-mile dirt races because they lack chutes. (Dragging two-turn races into the equation and bending the definition to include races at a mile and 70 or 110 yards probably crosses too many boundaries.)
Still, enough major tracks have them - including Aqueduct, Arlington, Belmont, Churchill and Hollywood - that there is probably an opportunity here for not only a new award but also an important and appealing series of Grade 1 one-turn mile races that would decide it. Perhaps a few of these tracks could get together, and either lengthen and enrich some of their existing graded sprint stakes or create some new ones. Just as racing had been remiss in honoring its best filly sprinters, it now needs to honor its milers, but first it needs to create more opportunities for them.

— Submitted by Karen Arena, Xerox public relations consultant
Last month, Xerox CMO Christa Carone* posted a blog on Forbes.com on social media. She warned about going overboard on social media and how "too much, too soon" could potentially damage a brand, especially if you are trying to replace traditional advertising and marketing campaigns. She points to Marc Brownstein's story on the overreliance of social media. Although I wouldn't say Xerox is a company with "exaggerated exuberance" for social media. The company is not dumping traditional campaigns for purely social ones any time soon.
Her post did, however, get me thinking about social media and the Xerox brand. The public relations team –folks who contribute to this blog — along with Xerox employees active in social media are working hard to be good, if not great, Xerox brand ambassadors. Okay, Xerox took it slow for a reason, and in the beginning it was a little too slow for impatient me who wanted the company to move much, much faster. Now, I have to confess here that I believe it turned out to be the right tack.
Way back in 2006, Xerox researchers introduced me to social media, through wikis, internal social groups and Second Life. Since those early days, we've learned through trial and error what works and what doesn't, with more to learn each day. Last year Xerox developed a working social media group represented by people from all business segments and who are passionate (exuberant?) about social media communities and sharing. These are the company's early adopters driving change one tweet, one blog post, one video at a time. Since the group's inception, it developed Xerox's official Social Media guidelines,* best practices, a Ning community — and it continues to listen and learn how to best integrate social marketing into business plans and practices. And Christa is right, it's just one component of overall strategies being baked into programs.
Although social media today makes a small percentage of the company's marketing activities, one thing Xerox doesn't do is take the power of the community for granted, and those of us "out there" on behalf of Xerox respect the individual voices just as much as we respect and try to uphold the tenets of the iconic Xerox brand. We're real people listening and communicating in these uncharted waters, and sometimes mistakes will be made, and I'm certain you'll be the first to let the company know.
In fact, why not do it right here, right now. In social communities, is Xerox "getting" it?

Shout out to our officers for their hard work yesterday!
Around 9:30 a.m., our officers conducted a probation search at Kenneth Hogle's residence on the 200 block of San Antonio Road after they learned during the course of an investigation that Hogle may have had drugs in his home.
During our search of the home, we found two teenagers who were under the influence of marijuana, which was allegedly given to them by Hogle. Our officers also found approximately 6 ounces of marijuana for sale, prescription medication for sales, methamphetamine, uncapped hypodermic needles, methamphetamine pipes and tear gas, all in plain view and within reach of the teens.
Hogle was arrested on felony narcotics charges, misdemeanor narcotics charges, a felony weapon charge (for his possession of tear gas), felony child endangerment charges and probation violations.
"In all, (officers) safely executed a successful operation, two juveniles were taken out of a very dangerous situation and a drug dealer was booked into jail," said Sgt. Wahed Magee.

Stuff You Ought to Know About Cleansing Block Paving
I have been previously trying to have a go at cleaning block paving around my house for what seems like years. Usually this ends up without too much good results on my component and a lot of aggravation afterwards. The very first time I tried washing my block paving I got myself a cheap pressure washer from a catalog store. My own thought ended up being that it wasnt considerably more costly to buy a cheap pressure washer than renting one to complete the task and so I would get several uses from the jawhorse. Turns out I was wrong. The pressure washer I aquired was total rubbish, that didnt do a good job plus it was relatively temperamental with its force as well. And so i decided to chew the topic and hire a good pressure washer. I once again encountered difficulties this time steer clear the pressure though the application. Right after washing my paving We realised there were big lines all over the block paving and i also had remaining patches.
I made the decision to chunk the topic and speak to the professionals; it was taking way too long without any help. I had with this point spent days outside in my garden spraying away to not much acquire. My work looked sloppy and I desired it to appear professional.
It was when I discovered brindlecleaning.com and decided to call them up to make clear my situation. I observed that they had suitable professional tooling which has much higher more consistent pressure charges. Their h2o cleaning pressure outdid my rubbish catalogue ordered cleaner and my what are known as ?professional? rented 1. I was extremely impressed while using results, they provided cleaning block paving in my garden place look like a doddle. They emerged and still left within the fast leaving stunning looking providing behind them. The final results were an utter transformation along with my paving looked like brand-new again. Once again the streaky signifies I had still left were nowhere to be seen. My spouse and i couldnt be more content, and I desire I had only called these people up in the first place. Their rates were the top due to their price match assure and so I couldnt have got gotten a better deal.
Overall this company offers saved me a great deal of time as well as hassle. They did in under a day things i failed in doing more than several days. When they say allow the professionals this option are the ones you need to leave it to. They feature a friendly with out nonsense service for cleaning block paving. I would suggest them to anybody in the area trying to find a specialist throughout outdoor floor cleaning.
