Since you encourage older audiophiles to share their experience and wisdom, here's mine: No reader, old or young, wants to slog through endless amounts of prose about someone else's life while trying to find the actual subject of the column. Also, criticizing your target audience in unpleasant terms isn't generally a good idea.These things just make you seem like a bad, self-absorbed writer--typical of the young, I guess. Sorry if I'm joyless for not sharing your self-absorbed joy in writing endlessly about yourself (1,102 words), but that's me--a joyless old audiophile who doesn't want his time wasted. A line or two, or a paragraph or two, is plenty. I don't enjoy this any more than I enjoy Tyll Hertsen writing endlessly about his travels to audio shows on the Inner Fidelity website while hoping someday he'll actually review one of the many pieces of gear he's mentioned seeing there. I write this sentence just so I can use "young and self-absorbed" as often as you use "old and joyless." As I think you know, I enjoy your columns and always read them. I'm just afraid that next you'll start describing your sex life graphically online, like young people do these days.
The Entry Level #30
But I do wonder whether their energies could be better spent in sharing their experiences and wisdom, in humbly passing along to younger generationstheir children, their grandchildren, possibly even metheir enthusiasm for music, sound, and quality, so that we might actually learn from our missteps and move on to more beautiful things. It almost seems they'd rather tread the same well-trampled ground (tubes vs solid-state, musicality vs accuracy, analog vs digital, love vs lust), forever taking only the smallest sideways steps, until the hi-fi hobby finally does die, nothing to show for its sufferings but an obsolete source component, a test CD, and eight linty balls of Blu-Tack. I wonder, again, whether these are the same fathers who, even after several scathing letters to the editor, remain baffled by their sons' and daughters' indifference to hi-fi, who blame that indifference on MP3s or Facebook, and who've turned their listening rooms into torture chambers complete with head vise, hot seat, and blinding blue lights.
Those, at least, were disciplinary measures my father never employed. He wasn't around much when I was a child, and when he was, his behavior was unpredictable and often frightening, like that of a hungry dog. It wasn't until fairly recently that I overcame my fear of the sound of a man's raised voice. He was too young to know how to be a good dadit took him 34 years to confess that to me, over rice and beans one Sunday afternoonand so I grew up fast and mostly alone. For comfort, he turned to alcohol and strange women; I closed my bedroom door, turned on the radio, and idolized my mother. There was nothing in the world my father could have shared with me then except embarrassment, anger, and regret. Hi-fi didn't exist. I never heard the word audiophile until, in August 2000, I took the job as Stereophile's editorial assistant. I lucked out. Every day is like the first day of school: I have plenty of catching up to doas an audiophile and as a son.
Nevertheless, I can't blame anyone for a lack of interest in catsthey're a thankless speciesand I know that my stories of Natalie and Nicole are often painfully awkward, and at times have been downright icky. This, too, is sort of old ground. Stereophile once ran a column, "Astor Place," whose author, a more or less normal woman, detailed domestic life with an obsessive-compulsive audiophilein theory, a subject that should fascinate our readers. But did you ever read it? At least this is not that.
I kid. This is totally that, albeit somewhat skewed, inverted, revised for the 21st century. I live in an apartment building filled with beautiful women and their crazy animalsan inescapable circumstance of my present life that greatly influences my listening habits and priorities. Ms. Little and I are on the first floor with our two cats, Avon and Stringer. Yes, our cats: Along with Ms. Little's flat-screen TV, high-speed Internet connection, and lump-free mattresswonderful luxuries, allI guess I'm finally accepting co-ownership of the stinking hairballs. (Ms. Little will be as thrilled to read this as I am reluctant to write it.) Natalie and Nicole share an apartment on the second floor with a dog and two cats. Beth and Kristen occupy adjacent apartments on the third floor, Beth with two cats and Kristen with a dog. And on the fourth floor lives KB, with an apparently charming but actually vicious and psychopathic cat-monster named Oliver. I rarely go up there.
Anyway, the girls have abandoned me. They're vacationing in Buenos Aires for an entire week. I was invited to join them, but, out of a sense of obligation to this magazine's production schedule or something similarly ridiculous, I declined. That's right. Asked to spend a week in subtropical paradise with six beautiful women, I said no. Actually, Kristen, too, has stayed behind, but she's in a new relationship, and I suspect she and her guy will be busy doing new-relationship things: sitting primly on Kristen's velvety blue couch, discussing current events as Ra Ra Riot's The Orchard spins on her Music Hall USB-1 turntable. (Interestingly, her new guy, like me, is ginger-haired, favors plaid shirts, and is into hi-fi. Hmm. The mind drifts . . . ) Nevertheless, I could be strolling through magnificently landscaped gardens; admiring gorgeous, neo-gothic architecture; watching impossibly attractive people dance the seductive tango; stuffing my belly with lovingly fried milanesas, perfectly baked empanadas, and moist cakes slathered with dulce de leche. Instead, I'm enduring another week of winter in New Jersey. Alone.
Thanks to all the practice I got when I was a kid, I have no problem with being alone now, nor do I mind being the only guy at a party full of women. But I figured it'd be good for the girls to do their own thing. Plus, I'd already spent all my disposable income on records. (Among other things for which my father is known, some more admirable than others, his propensity for addiction has manifested in me, albeit in gentler, mostly safer forms.) In the weeks leading up to their trip, I was almost looking forward to being on my own again, to freely indulge in the sorts of things I typically spare my dear girlfriend: endless bouts of Ultimate Fighting Championship, obscene amounts of Scotch, long nights spent listening to experimental music, hours whiled away in the subtleties of speaker placement. Guy stuff. My stuff.
But now that the girls are gone, I can't wait to have them back. This has been the longest week of my life, each day passing as if it were three.
"Oh, Stephen! Now's your chance to move their furniture around!" John Atkinson keeps telling me. "Enjoy your freedom!"
Freedom? Ha. Most of my free time has been spent scooping kitty litter. I, too, am sick of this shit.
Fortunately, I've had the Music Hall Marimba loudspeakers to keep me occupied (footnote 1).
The love of a lifetime
Get excited, grumpy old audiophiles: I'm going to write about hi-fi now.
Late last year, when I first heard of the Marimba, I was happily surprised: One of my favorite hi-fi manufacturers had finally introduced its first and (so far) only loudspeakerand it was seriously affordable at $349/pair. I wanted to review the Marimbas right away, but grumpy old Sam Tellig beat me to them (see our December 2012 issue). My first chance to hear the Marimbas came last October, at the 2012 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, where they highlighted a refreshingly small and simple system comprising Music Hall's MMF-5.1SE turntable with Cruise Control 2.0 power supply, and a Creek Evolution 50A integrated amplifier. The cost of the entire rig, including cables and accessories, was around $3500modest by most audiophiles' standardsand it sounded awesome: big, lively, detailed, and, most of all, fun.
While I was entirely impressed by the system's sound, I was slightly disappointed by the Marimba's appearance: Its boxy, black cabinet gives it an undeniably humble, completely unpretentious look, and though I can appreciate that, I want a little more stylesomething to set the Marimba apart from the countless hi-fi phonies lining the shelves of big-box stores and plastered all over Amazon.com. In terms of appearance, the Marimba is only slightly more attractive than the Dayton Audio B652, which I reviewed in January; and, while the Dayton, too, has a rather anonymous, generic look, that's something I can more easily accept in a speaker that costs only $40/pair.
Whatever. One evening, while Ms. Little was out, I replaced my beloved PSB Alpha B1s ($299/pair) with the Music Hall Marimbas, setting them exactly where the PSBs had been. After Ms. Little had gotten home, I asked her if she'd noticed the new speakers. Her eyes went wide. Her gaze drew an arc from left speaker to right. Her face expressed complete bewilderment, as if to say, "What new speakers?" As far as she was concerned, the Marimbas were the Alpha B1s; so while the PSBs strike me as being far more attractive, it stands to reason that most normal people wouldn't notice a difference.
Roy Hall, Music Hall's founder and "president for life," is responsible for both the Marimba's visual and acoustic designsa fact that will keep certain audiophiles (those especially old and joyless ones again) from ever listening to the thing. Hall's got a reputation for being a bit of a potty-mouth. And he likes Scotch. Audiophiles who are afraid of obscenities and alcohol are therefore afraid of Roy Hall, but I've had the pleasure of speaking with the man on a number of occasions, and he strikes me as warm, intelligent, and reasonablefrank when it comes to business, and rather romantic when it comes to life.

I am young and quite happy (as of now), and I do feel you should save the most of your life for an autobiograhy. As Long-time listener said, couple of paragraphs should be enough if you really need to write about your meanderings. Don't make a resource out of "if you don't like it, don't read it", improve man, make it worthwhile, if you want to share experiences, do so, but make it about them, not you.
... good report ont he Marimbas, I am very intrigued by them. Have you come accross Tekton Audio? I would like you get your hands on the M-Lore and know what you think about them, its seems there is nothing but rave reviews out in the web.
Yeah, that's where I fisrt heard about them as well.
Thanks for the joke, it sure made me laugh!
PS: Am I the only one who has go through the verification process for every post?
I feel like I should have caps lock on. Maybe next time.
Great article. I will call myself an audio enthusiast rather than an audiophile.
Audiophiles need to have bottomless pocket books. Enthusiasts just want good sound for however much they can spend at the time.
I have to agree with Roy Hall on 2 way speakers. There is just something about them that, to my ear, just sounds "right". I have had Maggies 2.7, Paradigm Sudio 20's and studio 60's and a few other speakers over the years.
Currently, the Studio 60's reside in my living room. The maggies were wonderful, but required more of system behind them that I have. After years of going through speakers, I find there is something about a stand mounted 2 way speaker that drawls me like a moth to a flame.
I will find that magical stand speaker someday. For now, I am looking at NAD integrated amps. I need simple, not bad sounding, small and clean enough to make decent sound. That is why I appreciate Stereophile reviewing inexpensive things like these little speakers that cost a mere $350.
I remember reading an article ( on Stereophile.com) about the RS-6 ($1000 floorstanding speakers) and he had them hooked to a Creek integrated, the whole system costing less than $3000. Just goes to show, You don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy music.
Thank you Stephen, I always enjoy your articles, and find your stories of life, the girls and cats, interesting, please don't listen to the grumpy one's, just continue with your refreshing writing style.
I hardly believe that you write for the younger generation, because you take forever to get to the point that most young people would have given up and gone on to another article (attention span, rememeber that word next time you are tempted to thrill us with your meandering thoughts)
A speaker designed in the USA but built in China isn't going to be consisitant in quality. Voicing the final design by ear is only as good as the designer's ears plus I'm very doubtful that every driver made in China is going to meet the original specs over the lifetime of the speraker's run. Only by testing each speaker's response with measurements on the production line and compensating for it by varying the crossover component values will insure quality and it's not that hard or expensive to implement that. Mr Snell managed to do that ages ago in the age of clunky slow computers or by using none at all.
Claiming a cabinet is well braced then still hearing a hollow sound when struck with a knuckle isn't a good sign that it really is well braced. I would be curious to see some measurements by Atlinson on these "wonders" just for s**** and giggles.
Oh and also cats are very loving and show it to those that really care about them. I have seven of them myself.
I would be curious to see some measurements by Atlinson on these "wonders" just for s**** and giggles.
John Atkinson's measurements of the Music Hall Marimba appear in our July issue, on stands now. I hope they make you shit and giggle.
Looks like what to expect from a mass production China based speaker. As usual Atkinson has trouble showing the low end response without the near field rise bump because of baffle diffraction compensation built into the design. It should be the same level as around the 300-400 Hz level, I am presuming that Mr Hall suggests it be placed on stands and well away from walls because of this.
The upper midrange has a 4dB rise at 1000Hz then it's got the BBC dip around 3-4 KHz. 5Khz to 12Khz looks sizzly from 4dB to 6dB higher than the 300Hz level. Not exactly great. I would think some tweeking of the crossover would have made that flatter but then again we have no individual response of each driver so maybe that's not possible.
Since we also have no view inside the cabinet, the bracing question is moot also. Any cabinet that small should have good damping if the wall thickness or bracing is well employed.
All in all it's okay but better can be found online for those willing to do some DYI for the same price. At $349 per pair it's a bit pricey $275 would be better. I am guessing that it's costing Mr Hall $35 to $50 in parts and assembly cost ( maybe $10 per day per worker in China?)per pair.
Just my 2 cents and I did giggle not so much shitting.
This is the first article I've ever read from Stereophile, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your personable writing and meshing of experience and analysis.
I can tell you first hand, as a member of the 'younger generation', I have an attention span longer than a 30 second YouTube video and appreciate you taking the time to guide us through the meanders of your thoughts.
I think I'll stick around - thanks for the read.
...The editors will let you know when to change.
Personally I like your personal side as it gives context. And I like the equipment you review; $20K amps and $100K speakers are probably nice but, really, how big is the audience that can afford that kind of equipment?
I have enjoyed your journey into vinyl and I occasionally check out the music you list. Most of it is not my taste (I am older than you and drift to classic rock) but I keep checking. I am wating for you to delve into compter audio and music streaming. Perhaps I missed it?
I look forward to your next column.
Thanks very much.
I am wating for you to delve into compter audio and music streaming. Perhaps I missed it?
I haven't gotten there yet. I'm moving in that direction—not entirely, of course, but slowly and surely.
Actually I think Stephen is one of the bright spots in the Stereophile lineup, and as I said, I like his columns. If I'm grumpy its because of the magazine itself. Why? The writers seem to be writing for themselves and for the manufacturers, but not for the readers.
Take a look at the Dynaudio Excite x12 review. Nothing but superlatives: "perfect verisimilitude" and "no tradeoffs" despite its size and price. Yet it ends up in Class B. Obviously, there must have been tradeoffs, and its verisimilitude somewhat less than perfect. But Stereophile, the most authoritative stereo magazine on the planet, isn't going to tell its readers what they are so that they can make an informed choice.
Or the A+ rated NAD m51 DAC. It's not until you buy it that you realize its bass has none of the speed, punch, and definition of the merely A-list Benchmark DAC1. But Stereophile doesn't tell you that, you have to spend your money first.
Or the T+A Power Plant amplifier. Powerful, controlled basss and smooth, detailed highs. What about the midrange? Stereophile won't say a word about it; you have to read between the lines and realize that Stereophile's omission tells you something is wrong there. Why can't we get an honest review?
Who is Stereophile for? The writers and manufacturers, or the readers? Can't we get some better information?
Hi Stephen
I love the Way you write. Its fun interesting and mirrors so many experiences and thoughts i have/ had/ would have liked to have. Definetly the best prose in the audiophile world. AND: the only prose which will likely apeal to those people we need for the future of our hobby.
this 44 Year old from Berlin Germany loves you!
Dont stop!
As a young audiophile I can relate more to your writing than others. That sense of being and relating to your really life makes it a crossover experience. To me the Old Grumpies of the audiophile world hold on to the experience of recreating the live event in their living room. I think the New Generation wants an experience. Something different but yet the same as a live experience.
It is funny because I think but subsets of the audiophile group want the same thing they are just expressing it in different terms. The Old Grumpies take the status quo and try to make it fit. The New Generation does not want the status quo and is looking for that experience to shine down on them to know that what they have is special.
Being young and living in this world I have a belief that one day I might be able to own a system that costs more than most people spend on a house or a really nice car. The reality is, that even if I don't, I enough every moment I have with the gear I love and the people I get to share it with.
Music is entertainment and to me entertainment is life.To call on something you wrote before; some of us just like to sing, dance and laugh. It makes us happy.
"Being young and living in this world I have a belief that one day I might be able to own a system that costs more than most people spend on a house or a really nice car."
You don't have to spend that much for really good sound, that's the myth that has been spread for ages by those wanting your money. It's more of a status thing than improving the sound. Unless you have a great paying job, you aren't going to be able to afford that much less a house.
Hey Stephen—
Loved your column; great writing!
Kudos for bringing so much personality to a shopworn format. It ain't easy, and so nice when someone pulls it off. Keep writing and don't listen to the cranks.
Alex Halberstadt
I'm over 60yo. Am I 'old'? Maybe my body is suffering the ravages of a life of hockey, softball, football, three decades of bartending and another of hauling and installing satellite dishes and ballast on to the roofs of buildings all over the Canadian Prairies. But my mind isn't old. After I read Dudley's prose in every Stereophile I head straight to the "Entry Level" - and I enjoy the tales therein.
Much of my time is spent repairing and selling vintage stereo gear. Much of it goes to the young audio enthusiasts. I also admin the local audio group (150+ members).
I have no children (that I know of).
How can I talk to the the 20somethings without any perspective of what it is to be young in this century?
The 'Entry Level' tales help me along that path.
Stephen - just you keep those stories coming.
Stephen, it's funny how our explicit atitudes can suggest the presence of other distinct, different feelings. Plenty of people would bash this textual psychoanalizing -- this abuse of the 'intentional fallacy' -- as pure hogwash. "I mean what I mean -- nothing more or less." they'll aver. But I read in your explicit irritation with critics of your tendency to illustrate your hifi observations with domestic anecdotes an underlying genuine whistfulness that they'd get over their pontificating about absolute truths born out by expertise and offer something 'personal' to educate or entertain the young pundit, as well as readers interested in "The Entry-level." Tell me if I'm wrong. Maybe it's mostly aggro you're feeling.
But your young-man's 'curmudgeonlyness' reminded me of another more-or-less famous bit of reviewer's spleen, mixed in with something like urgent longing. It's striking especially as it comes from a writer who's famous for saying in different ways, "Take my writing for what it is and don't presume to question how it relates to me." Yet I'd argue that for all his defensive proclamations, Philip Larkin's passionate contempts and their entanglement in griefs and longings are what most attract fans of his poetry. Most, though not all, of Larkin's poetry fans know that he was a prolific professional jazz reviewer for almost thirty years. It often strikes me that his wild enthuasiasms for classic jazz are the ultimate remedy for the disaffection that's caused by his persistent cynicism about nearly everything else in modern life.
Here's the final paragraph from his Introduction to All What Jazz, the first major collection of his reviews and essays on the genre. it's good to note that the insidious youngsters he's condemning are the same generation as many of your older contempuous critics.
"My readers…sometimes I wonder whether they really exist. Truly they are remarkably tolerant, manifesting themselves only by the occasional query as to where they can buy records: just once or twice I was clobbered by a Miles Davis, or taken to task by the press agent of a visiting celebrity. Sometimes I imagine them, sullen fleshy inarticulate men, stockbrokers, sellers of goods, living in 30-year-old detached houses amongst the golf courses of Outer London, husbands of ageing bitter wives they first seduced to Artie Shaw's 'Begin the Beguine' or the Squadronaire's 'The Nearness of You'; fathers of cold-eyed lascivious daughters on the pill, to whom Ramsay MacDonald is coeval with Rameses II, and cannabis-smoking jeans-and-bearded Stuart-haired sons whose oriental contempt for 'bread' is equalled only by their insatiable demand for it; men in whom a pile of scratched coverless 78s in the attic can awaken memories of vomiting blindly from small tudor windows to Muggsy Spanier's 'Sister Kate', or winding up a gramophone in a punt to play Armstrong's 'Body and Soul'; men whose first coronary is coming like Christmas; who drift loaded helplessly with commitments and obligations and necessary observances, into the darkening avenues of age and incapacity, deserted by everything that once made life sweet. These I have tried to remind of the exitement of jazz, and tell where it may still be found."

Tell me if I'm wrong.
No. I think you've got it right. Thank you.
And thanks for the comparison to Philip Larkin. I can relate to a lot of that, but Larkin expressed himself better than I could.
I also enjoyed the linked article. If there isn't one already, there should be a cocktail called Gin & Jazz. One would taste great right about now, I'm sure.
Indeed! --Just so long as the "jazz" in a G+J doesn't relate to any bodily fluids. It can't be a variant of the 'White Russian'. ;P
Does the love of music and the accurate recreation of its performance really have to descend into all this psychoanalysis?
I don't visit these articles very often, and now I'm less inclined to do so. I'll admit I was drawn in by the absurdity of the latest $107k speakers. Seeking a little sanity, I checked in to "Entry Level." Bad move.
I'm ecstatic with my second pair of speakers in 36 years. Seems to me many of you need some perspective. Lighten up - get lost in Nefertiti, then come back and read all these pointless musings. Hopefully it will clear some heads.
to misapply a classical axiom, "De gustibus non est disputandum." Perhaps your championing only two pairs of speakers in 36 years says as much about your special reverence of _Nefertiti_ as anything else. You might -- *might*, mind you -- want to try out more things. Or not. As you like.
I will pay extra for the magazine if you bring Stephen Mejias back.

Let A, B and C be finitely supported probability distributions with at most d nonzero probabilities each. Now consider the following simultaneous equations using p-norms, for each value of p≥1, given by
||A||p + ||B||p = ||C||p
where A, B and C are still non-negative, but we relax normalization on A and B. Imagine that C is fixed and, without loss of generality, normalized. We want to solve for A and B.
First, note that one obvious family of solutions is
A = (1-x) C , B = x C , 0≤x≤1 .
Question: Ignoring the obvious permutation symmetries, are these the only solutions?
Edit: By p-norm, I mean the vector p-norm: ||A||p = (∑j |aj|p )1/p. Although we don't really need the absolute values, since the aj are all non-negative.

Keeping ball down key for Francis' success
DENVER -- Jeff Francis pitched well in the Rockies home opener April 5, but he has struggled in his past two outings. He pitched 1 2/3 innings -- the shortest outing of his career -- on April 10 at San Francisco and 4 1/3 innings against the Mets on Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader at home, where it was 36 degrees when he threw his first pitch.
In those two starts, Francis has given up 16 hits and 15 runs, 10 earned, with six walks (two intentional) and six strikeouts.
"Sometimes you just get your butt kicked, like he did in 'Frisco," pitching coach Jim Wright said. "I'm giving a mulligan because of the weather.
"As a finesse pitcher, you always have to stay in attack mode and you have to make your pitches. And if you get a little too careful and you flatten out [with your pitches], then the worst can happen to you. More than anything the last two times, Jeff's gotten the ball up and flattened out and lost his trajectory. When you're flat, everything looks the same; he's just got to keep the ball down."
The left-handed Francis pitched very well in Spring Training and allowed the Padres one run in six innings April 5. His cut fastball, a very good pitch against right-handed hitters, has not been as sharp in his past two starts.

Anyone needing a New Year reminder of the divide that has been threatening to tear apart the 17-nation euro zone need only look at Thursday's German and Spanish jobs data.
To the north, work. To the south, unemployment.
The number of Germans out of work actually rose for the ninth month running in December, reflecting some of the strains of the euro zone debt crisis on Europe's largest economy.
And Mediterranean Spain's official tally of those out of work fell in the month.
But both figures are belied by other factors.
Germany's jobless number, for all its recent rises, remains close to a post-reunification low. Spain's improvement was based almost entirely on temporary holiday jobs. Around one-in-four Spaniards are out of work.
The outlook for 2013 from analysts is jobs growth in Germany and further joblessness in Spain.
The labour success in Germany – unemployment rate around 6.8 per cent – is partially thanks to years of wage restraint and structural reforms undertaken in the mid-2000s.
Spain, the euro zone's fourth largest economy, only passed a labour reform in February 2012, under European Union pressure to meet budget deficit targets.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's jobs reform has shaken up working regulations to make it easier to fire people, leading to massive lay-offs at big companies like media group Prisa SA and expected cuts at Spain's national airline, Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA.
On Thursday, Spain's Parador hotel chain said it was dismissing 350 workers, a hit to even one of the country's more robust sectors.
Permanent hiring in Spain, meanwhile, has yet to pick up despite efforts to make the system more flexible.
While the number of people out of work in Spain fell by 1.2 per cent in December mostly thanks to the holiday hiring, according to labour ministry data, analysts were not optimistic for a change in trend in the damaged job market.
"We expect renewed job losses at the start of 2013, with the latest lead indicators suggesting the economy is set to endure further output losses in the first half of 2013," said IHS Global Insight analyst Raj Badiani, forecasting a further labour shakeout.
Spain's economy is contracting under the weight of €60-billion ($77-billion) worth of budget cuts, and expected to dip 1.5 per cent this year – likely leaving even more people out of work.
Spain's latest jobless data means 4.8 million people are registered as out of work, but the figures are considered less reliable than data from the National Statistics Institute (INE).
INE recorded 5.8 million Spaniards out of work in the third quarter, putting the country's unemployment rate at a record 25 per cent, the highest since the Franco dictatorship ended in the 1970s.
The only comparable level in the euro zone is in Greece which, in an economic depression for six years, recorded a monthly unemployment rate of 26 per cent in September, meaning that it may by now have jumped ahead of Spain.
Also of concern in Spain is a decline in the number of Social Security contributions in December, which analysts said may reflect the exodus of immigrants now seeking brighter prospects outside Spain.
Standing outside a Madrid employment office, 57-year-old truck driver Antonio Pino lamented his situation at a company that has implemented an 18-month layoff plan during which employees work for two months and go on the dole for a month.
"It's devastating living like this. In one sweep the government has wiped out everything we'd worked for during the past 30 years. Another 25 years will have to pass to get to where we were just a few years ago," Mr. Pino said.
A Spanish association of temporary work companies called AGETT expected firms to hire 500,000 temporary workers over the Christmas period, compared to 550,000 the year before in anticipation of lower spending from cash-strapped consumers hit by tax increases and no seasonal bonus for civil servants.
"We're pretty negative on the outlook for 2013 and expect unemployment to be over 27 per cent," AGETT analyst Alejandro Costanzo said. "We're going to hit the bottom in 2013, then in 2014 we'll see what effect the government measures have."
In Germany, recent economic data has been mixed but Timo Klein at IHS Global Insight said he expected joblessness to fall once again from mid-2013, after rising at the start of the year.
Meanwhile, new applications for short-time work in Germany are estimated at 45,000 for December, roughly as in October and November but almost double the average of 26,000 seen during the first half of 2012.
Wage restraint and labour market reforms have pushed the German jobless rate down to a 20-year low, and the country's model is often cited as an example for European nations seeking to cut unemployment and become more competitive.
But critics say much of the resilience of Germany's labour market is due to reforms that broadened and entrenched the low-paid and temporary work sector, boosting wage inequality.

While New York State has yet to allow marriage licenses to be issued to same-sex couples, there has been a sudden explosion of activity toward that goal within the past month.
Married Elsewhere, Married Here
The state's highest legal officer now has said that some New York gay couples who married legally elsewhere can be considered married here.
Attorney General Eliot Spitzer issued an opinion (PDF Format) that while New York did not expressly forbid gay couples to marry, the gender neutral domestic relations law nevertheless was not written with them in mind. A supporter of the right of same-sex couples to marry, Spitzer nevertheless said that town and city clerks should not issue licenses to same-sex couples until the courts rule on the constitutionality of the state marriage law's exclusion of gay couples. But he also held that same-sex couples validly married elsewhere (as they have been in Holland, Belgium, and Canada) "must be treated as spouses for purposes of New York law."
New York gay and lesbian couples have been getting married in Ontario and British Columbia since this past summer. They didn't become un-married when they returned to New York.
After May 17, New York gay couples will only have to go as far as Massachusetts to get married. That's when the Bay State's high court has ordered the state to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, even though the state legislature, meeting in Constitutional Convention in March, have voted to amend the state constitution to limit marriage to man-woman couples, while providing gay couples "civil unions" that would carry the same legal rights and responsibilities associated with marriage. The amendment could not go into effect until late 2006, so gay people will be marrying in Massachusetts next month.There is a wrinkle in the Massachusetts marriage law that may have an effect on New Yorkers seeking to marry there. It forbids clerks from issuing licenses to out-of-state couples whose marriage would not be valid in their home state. Thirty-eight states, but not New York, have laws prohibiting recognition of same-sex marriage. And again, while New York does not license same-sex marriages, the attorney general of New York is of the opinion that the state must recognize valid same-sex marriages licenses elsewhere.
Twenty New York couples were among the more than 4,000 who tied the knot in San Francisco after Mayor Gavin Newsom started issuing licenses to gay couples on February 12. That process was stopped by California's high court on March 12 and the validity of the licenses will be resolved in court cases.
New York City has a law, signed by Mayor Bloomberg in 2003, that requires the city to recognize domestic partnerships, civil unions, and same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. Bloomberg has said that while this means the city will recognize those same-sex unions contracted in Vermont, Canada, Holland, and Belgium, he will not recognize same-sex marriages performed in San Francisco.
Lawsuits To Win The Right To Marry
New York City's Corporation Counsel, Michael Cardozo, wrote to City Clerk Victor Robles, "Both New York State statutory law, and its interpretation by New York courts, support the City Clerk's ongoing practice not to issue licenses to, or perform marriage ceremonies for, same-sex couples." But when Cardozo was president of the New York City Bar Association in 1997, he approved a report calling marriage a "fundamental right" that be open to "all couples, regardless of sex," the Daily News reported. He told the paper that his approval of the report "did not me I personally agreed with every legal point or the conclusion," but that he thought "the legal issues were thoughtfully researched."
Gay couples are now suing in New York, Rockland, and Ulster counties to win the right to marry in New York State. Lambda Legal Defense is representing Nevin Cohen and David Hernandez from Manhattan. Norman Siegel, once director of the New York Civil Liberties Union and now in private practice, has brought a case on behalf of ten gay couples from Nyack and is seeking a judgment that the state marriage law is unconstitutional because it bars licenses for same-sex couples. And in Ulster County, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison are defending New Paltz Mayor Jason West who has been charged with marrying 25 same-sex couples without licenses.
Religious Defiance
While the domestic relations law of the state may be open to interpretation as to whether or not gay couples are entitled to marry, the law explicitly prohibits agents of the state (mayors, clerks, ministers, etc.) from marrying couples without licenses. The same Ulster County district attorney who charged Mayor West with breaking that law also went after two Unitarian ministers who performed multiple same-sex nuptials in New Paltz in March. All their cases are before the courts and they face fines of $500 and up to a year in jail on each count.
More than 30 ministers, priests, and rabbis in New York gathered on the New York City Hall steps on March 18 and defiantly pledged to break the law that forbids them to perform marriages for unlicensed couples, as I reported in Gay City News. Rev. Pat Bumgardner, pastor of the gay Metropolitan Community Church of New York performed two same-sex weddings--one for two men, another for two women--clearly stating that she was acting in her capacity as an agent of the state. Rabbi Ellen Lippman of Congregation Kolot Chayeinu in Park Slope, Brooklyn married another lesbian couple. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau announced that he did not intend to prosecute either Rev. Bumgardner or Rabbi Lippman, saying in a statement, "The criminal courts are not the appropriate forum for the resolution of these issues. Ultimately, they will be resolved in civil lawsuits, at least two of which are now pending."
While it is illegal for the minister to perform a marriage for unlicensed couples, the law also says that couples so married are legally married if their intent was to obtain a license afterwards. It is possible, then, that the same-sex couples wed by Mayor West and these ministers and rabbis will have to be recognized as married by New York.
Bloomberg's Back And Forth
Mayor Bloomberg, who maintains that he has no official position on same-sex marriage, told a gathering of lesbian and gay journalists that he did favor changing the marriage law to include gay couples. But the next day his press office would not confirm that he had said it. Bloomberg, a former Democrat who is now the biggest individual contributor to the Republican Party in the nation, will be playing host to Republican National Convention in late August and early September that will nominate for re-election President George Bush, a supporter of a constitutional amendmentto ban same-sex marriage. While Bloomberg and Governor George Pataki do not support that amendment, the mayor seems reticent to emphasize the issues with which he disagrees with his new party.
Opposition, Neutrality, Support
There are pockets of vocal opposition to same-sex marriage in New York. The state's Catholic bishops went to Albany to lobby against it in March, with Brooklyn's new Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio worrying that sanctioning same-sex marriage could open the door to people marrying their "pets." On March 14, thousands of Pentecostal Latinosrallied outside the Bronx courthouse in favor of Bush's constitutional amendment.
While the state legislature has been disinclined to take up bills either banning or approving of same-sex marriage, by the end of the March, Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno was looking at the possibility of taking up a state Defense of Marriage Act (limiting marriage to man-woman couples), something Democratic Speaker Sheldon Silver has told colleagues that his house will not consider. The State Democratic Party is on record in favor of same-sex marriage, the Conservative Party is vehemently opposed, and Governor Pataki, leader of the state's Republicans, has said that the marriage laws should remain as they are--though he has granted some incremental rights for gay domestic partners in recent years.
"The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men," wrote the United States Supreme Court in overturning laws in sixteen states banning interracial marriage in 1967. Despite the reference to men—and not men and women—the court surely did not foresee that men would want to marry men and women women in the early 21st century. But it is already a legal reality in New York, at least for a few couples, and it looks as if it will be left to our courts to decide if it will be open to all same-sex couples soon.

Western PA men charged with making banana moonshine
Two men have been charged by police with making banana brandy moonshine in a shed next to one of the men's mobile homes in western Pennsylvania.
The (Washington) Observer-Reporter says McDonald police charged the men after getting complaints from neighbors that the men were burning items inside the shed owned by 29-year-old Matthew Kirks.
When police investigated Monday, they found an ethanol moonshine distillery made from two beer kegs and copper pipes, and say Kirks and 33-year-old Matthew Zirwas III, of Carnegie, acknowledged making the hooch.
Police say they confiscated a Blackberry phone displaying a web page about "How to make banana brandy moonshine," seven Mason jars containing a blend of bananas and yeast, and other releated items.
Online court records don't list attorneys for the men who don't have listed or working phones.

The Plymouth South Jaguars youth football program was in action Sunday against the Apponequet Warriors. The Mite and Peewee varsity squads both posted victories in the second week of the regular season.
PLYMOUTH - The Plymouth South Jaguars youth football program was in action Sunday against the Apponequet Warriors. The Mite and Peewee varsity squads both posted victories in the second week of the regular season.
The Jaguar Mites continued their hot start to the season Sunday with a 22-6 win over Apponequet.
Shane McDonald started the fireworks with a 65-yard touchdown run on the second play of the game. Caedon Aldridge proved what a weapon speed can be with two 50-yard touchdown runs. Both his scoring drives were capped off by bruising two-point conversion runs by Ben Frechette and Mike Caruso.
None of the scoring would have happened without dominating line play from Braeden Reichart, Jacob Gella, Ben Barreiro, Mike White and Chase Makris.
Defensively, Aidan Norberg led the way with some bone crushing tackles. Jack Brady, Max Arnold, Logan Volkringer and Michael Doherty all contributed to the relentless defense.
First-year players John Hoban, Thomas DeCoste, Jacob Depaul, Charlie Simpkins and Reid Morgan made the most of their playing time proving the future looks bright for the Jaguar program.
The JV Mites looked like a well-oiled machine in a 14-8 victory over Hanson on Saturday.
The offense was led by quarterback John Hoban and running backs Cameron Peigh and Aidan Sheehan. Plymouth South began the game with a march down the field capped off by a 40-yard touchdown run by Sheehan.
An onside kick by Jacob DePaul and recovery by John Hoban gave the Jags the ball right back. The offense wasted no time marching down the field again with a 50-yard run by Hoban that set up a touchdown by Charlie Simpkins.
The defense was unstoppable as Jacob Crowley ended any hope Hanson had of moving the football with a quick interception. The defensive line was too much for Hanson with Volkringer, Simpkins, DeCoste, and Costello consistently getting in the backfield creating sacks and total chaos. Hoban added a fumble recovery to his already stellar line for his first career game.
The Midgets opened the 2017 season with tough losses to Silver Lake and then Apponequet. Silver Lake outlasted the Jaguars in the season opener, 14-8, and Apponequet took a 20-6 win over the Jaguars last weekend.
Against Silver Lake, the Jaguars were led by outstanding defensive efforts from Luke Arnold who made a number of tackles from his safety position and outside linebacker James Mahon, who had a number of tackles for a loss against the Warriors. Offensively, the Jaguars struggled to move the ball at times. Fullback Zach Proctor's 27-yard run up the middle set up the Jaguars only score, a 35-yard run off right tackle by Luke Arnold, with Cole Bearce throwing the final block to spring Arnold. QB Tyler Tedeschi scrambled into the end zone for the two-point conversion. The Jaguars had outstanding special teams play, with Tedeschi's punts keeping Silver Lake in poor field position throughout the game.
The Jaguars couldn't finish on a number of drives in their loss to defending Super Bowl champion Apponequet. They had a number of drives that went deep into Apponequet territory, but they were unable to finish them off with points. Arnold led all rushers with a number of good gains over right tackle behind the blocking of Donte Andrews, Aden Ferreia and Anthony Smith. Proctor had a number of nice runs from his fullback position with Harrison Ottino and Carter Reynolds leading the way.
The defense struggled to keep Apponequet's running game in check, but had great efforts from defensive end Andrews, linebackers James Mahon, Proctor, and Smith, and the secondary of Arnold and Declan and Liam Davis. The Jaguars' only score came from a fumble forced by Tedeschi which was scooped up by Arnold for the score.
The Jaguars play Hanson this coming weekend.
Plymouth South grabbed a big 34-14 division win over Apponequet to open their home schedule. The offense was led by quarterback Brady Hall who went 8-for-12 passing, including an 87-yard TD pass to Nolan Palmer. Hall had an interception and a 55-yard rushing touchdown. Jeremy Kiefer had 100+ yards rushing, a touchdown and a two-point conversion in the win.
Jessie Hayes added a touchdown and three pass completions but the story of the day was the powerful defense led by Landon Medeiros (interception) and Eric Jacobs at safety letting nothing past him. The defense also got strong play along the line from Volkringer and Crowley.
Plymouth South scored the lone touchdown in an 8-0 road win over Hanson.
Neither offense could gain much traction until Jaguars QB Matt Kirby led the offense down the field, eating up time on the clock with hard running by Noah Brilliant and Johnny Merlino that set up a touchdown and two-point conversion by Vinny Cafarelli.
Plymouth South's defense was led by Nick Long, Calob Dewease, Kenney Reichert and Connor Cambel.

A List Worth Keeping
I like to make lists. I have lists of chores to accomplish, lists of funny things my kids say, even lists of stories to tell my mom the next time she calls on the phone. My brain simply records information in an itemized, enumerated fashion, making me, I'm afraid, a walking outline.
There is one list, however, that I record better than all the others. This list is lengthy, and I add to it frequently. It's my list of wrongs. Or more specifically, wrongs that others have committed against me. Did someone disappoint me? I'll remember it. Has a friend betrayed a trust? I won't let that go—it's on the list.
A few years ago, my list wasn't just a mental account. I was dealing with anger toward a friend, and my pastor advised me to write down an actual, on-paper inventory of the grievances I held. Obediently (and a little excitedly), I pulled out my yellow legal pad, printed my friend's name in large capital letters across the top of the page, and began to detail every offense she had committed.
- Lied.
- Gossiped.
And on and on went the list—3, 4, 5…—until I'd recounted everything. The final tally: 47. Forty-seven injuries and complaints, some major and some minor, dating back nearly a decade.
That legal pad log reminds me of another list-keeper: Javert, the cold-hearted, vengeful inspector in Victor Hugo's famous novel Les Miserables. Javert devoted his life to chasing the story's protagonist, Jean Valjean, because of crimes Valjean committed years earlier. Claiming to seek "justice," Javert mercilessly hounded a man he could've forgiven and set free. Like me, Javert didn't let things go.
And yet, unfortunately for list-keepers, the apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth that "love keeps no record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:5). Check it off, erase it, throw it in the garbage. Paul also told the Ephesians to "be kind and compassionate toward one another, forgiving each other" (Ephesians 4:32). In order to follow Christ, said Paul, I must not keep track. I must forgive.
Forgiveness isn't natural—at least, not for me. Canceling a debt that someone else incurred simply isn't "the norm" for anyone. In his years pursuing Jean Valjean, Javert couldn't bring himself to pardon the guilty man. Ultimately, Javert's life was destroyed by his unwillingness to erase the list. What possible good can come from harboring resentment? None. Only destruction. It's best, then, to forgive, no matter how unnatural it might seem.
Secondly, forgiveness isn't fair—but forgiveness is better than fairness. Would I really want to be treated "fairly," that is, as my sins deserve? No! Far better to erase the wrong than to "make a list and check it twice." "Mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13). Forgiveness refuses to keep record; it refuses to be fair.
Forgiveness also isn't easy—far from it. As I struggled to forgive my friend for those 47 offenses, at times I was too hurt and angry to even look over my list … let alone "overlook" the list! I prayed repeatedly that God would help me to truly forgive every injury. And yet, for many weeks, the pain remained just as raw every morning. Had I not really forgiven her, then? Perhaps. Or, perhaps forgiving and healing are just two separate acts. Forgiving takes a choice, but healing takes time—and the deeper the wound, the longer it takes to heal. It's possible, then, to truly forgive someone, and still be hurt by what they did.
But why forgive at all? If forgiveness isn't natural or fair or easy—if it only comes with great difficulty, over time—why should I forgive? After all, those 47 wrongs weren't my fault, so why should I let them all go? Paul answered the question of "Why forgive?" in the rest of his instruction to the Ephesians. "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other," he wrote, and then continued, "just as in Christ, God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). Why should I forgive? Because God forgave me.
It's simple, really. I forgive because I'm forgiven. Perhaps, then, the unforgiveness in my heart is a symptom of a larger problem: that I have forgotten just how much forgiveness God granted me, and at how great a price! Indeed, how many yellow legal pads would my offenses fill? I shudder to imagine. And yet, the King graciously forgave them all. How, then, can I not forgive others? (Matthew 18:21-35)
In Les Miserables, a merciful bishop was "kind and compassionate" to Jean Valjean. Rather than count his theft against him, the bishop forgave the offense and set Valjean free. Because of the kindness shown to him, Valjean in turn showed kindness to others. He traded crime and deceit for generosity and truth. Jean Valjean forgave others because he never forgot the forgiveness he had received.
"Another story must begin," sang a grateful Jean Valjean in the Les Miserables musical. In the same way, another story begins when I accept God's forgiveness to me. The gospel is, in essence, the hope of another story—a new life and a new heart. In Jesus, my new life is both transformed and characterized by forgiveness: I've been transformed by God's forgiveness toward me, so I should now be characterized by my forgiveness toward others.
On my own, it isn't hard to remember offenses, or even count them on a legal pad. Hurtful words, heartbreaking upsets, disappointing deceptions—my mind can recall all these with ease. But such a list has no place in the heart of a Christ-follower. In Jesus, I must forgive much, because I've been forgiven much.
Today, I will start a new list—one that could undoubtedly fill too many legal pads to count. I will record the Lord's kindness to me: His mercies, His faithfulness, His compassion, and the benefits of His saving grace. Here is a list worth keeping:
"Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins…
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:2-3, 8-12)
When Doing Justly, Loving Mercy, and Walking Humbly Stand at Odds
If your compassion far exceeds your capacity, here's one way you can be sure to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
One of my life verses is Micah 6:8, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
It is one of my favorite verses because my heart has been so moved by the love Jesus has for me and the sacrifice He made for me that I am grateful to have a way to express my gratitude through acts of justice and mercy while walking humbly with God.
I have found at times, however, the call to do justice and love mercy come in conflict with the call to walk humbly with God. For me, one of the ways to walk humbly with God is to recognize my limitations. I have to put skin to the fact that I am not God which means saying, "no" to ministry requests. It means going to sleep when I could be spending time advocating for the harrowed and helpless in the world. It means limited seats at my table, limited funds in my bank account, and limited energy in my body cannot be ignored but respected and adhered to.
This is hard for me at times, especially when I scroll my Facebook feed and see friends who are caring for their really sick children, spouse, or other family member all while millions of refugees flee war torn countries and babies are slaughtered by the hundreds each day in our country through the abortion industry.
As I scroll, I receive texts about one family member's surgery gone wrong and another family member announcing a new baby is on the way. I have in mind my neighbor who has inpatient surgery scheduled this week and another neighbor who is trying to hold down a full-time job, care for twins all while battling profound "morning" sickness.
Folks at church are fighting for their lives in physical and spiritual ways, and strangers who pass me on the road are clearly battling something as demonstrated by their impatient honking because I won't take a right turn on red. I want to meet the needs of all; I want to do justice and love mercy, but I'm daily confronted by the fact that I am so limited.
What am I to do when doing justly and/or loving mercy seem to come in conflict with walking humbly with my God?
God keeps bringing me to this answer: prayer.
God invites us to cast our cares before Him because He cares for us.
God tells us to be anxious for nothing BUT WITH PRAYER present our requests before Him.
God commands us to pray without ceasing.
And, when I walk humbly with God, I see the immense kindness in His command.
He gives us a way to do justly, love mercy WHILE walking humbly with Him.
It is by praying without ceasing.
I cannot take a meal or give money to every sick person or family I know. I cannot extend kindness to all my neighbors all at the same time they're in need nor conjure up sustainable solutions for the refugee crisis and contact all the necessary world powers to make it happen.
I cannot heal all, but I know the Healer.
I cannot provide for all the needs, but I know the Provider.
I cannot rescue everyone in need, but I know the Rescuer.
I cannot comfort all the broken, but I know the Comforter.
I cannot speak peace over every situation, but I know the Prince of Peace.
I cannot be all to all, but I can go to the Great I Am through prayer, lay all the people, problems and pleas for help before the Omniscient and Omnipresent God of all Creation.
I can do this through prayer.
Recently, via an Instagram contest of all things, I came upon A–Z prayer cards designed by blogger/author/speaker, Amelia Rhodes. It is a simple concept packed with a powerful prayer punch. It has served me personally in this tension of wanting to do far more than I practically can do. It provides prayer prompts starting with each letter of the alphabet along with a scripture that coincides with the prayer focus. It ranges from Adoption to a creative "Zero Prejudice" for the letter "Z."
The cards are well thought out, color printed on sturdy cardstock with blank lines for the user to write in the names of people and/or organizations that are personal to them.
If, like me, your compassion far exceeds your capacity, pick up a set of these prayer cards and unload your burdens onto a God whose competence matches His kindness, both boundless.
Facing Our Fears in Motherhood
Do you have fears tied to motherhood? If so, here's encouragement for you.
"Are you scared?"
I was taken aback by his question. Scared? Of what?
"Of anything," he answered.
I had just shared my due date with a new class of trainees.
"He has three boys," another new hire volunteered. So fear is to be expected, I reasoned. I'm just about to face the most frightening experience in my life.
Of course I was scared.
I was scared…
- I'll lose my temper.
- I'll whine about sleepless nights.
- I'll breastfeed too often or not often enough.
- I'll leave piles of unfolded onesies in the middle of the nursery floor because I'm too tired (or lazy?) to fold teeny-tiny baby clothes for the upteenth time.
- I'll go with disposable diapers when the better choice would be cloth.
- I'll work too many long hours at the office and miss precious moments with her.
- I'll sign her up for too many activities and push her to become Miss Achieve-It-All.
- I'll pass on to her my ugly pride, self-righteousness, and perfectionism like a dreadful contagious disease.
- I'll miss countless little joys in life while pursuing worthless dreams.
In short… I was afraid I was going to fail miserably as a parent.
And now, holding my second-born daughter in my arms, thinking back on that brief exchange just a few years ago, I realize those fears were well-founded. I've failed many times. I've lost my temper. I've raised my voice. I've worked too much and played too little. I've seen my own sinfulness reflected in my daughter.
Yes, I've failed, but over and above it all, God's grace has covered my parenting imperfections and made me run to the cross day after day. The writer of Proverbs puts it this way:
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
Proverbs 14:26
When it comes to fears, we have two choices: Will we fear the unknown or will we fear the Lord? Will we allow the uncertain to grip us in its clutch or will we turn to God's Truth to set us free?
Scared? Oh yeah. There was so much to be scared of that day. And even now, if I'm completely honest, there are still fears nibbling at the edges of my consciousness. Fear that we won't outgrow the temper tantrums. Fear that the two girls won't get along. Fear that I'll mess them up and cause them interminable hours on a psychologist's couch.
I'm sure you have fears, too.
But rather than allow those fears to consume and paralyze us, we can take them to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our parenting, pleading His grace over our mistakes, and entrusting His provision over their futures. He is not only able to handle it all — He is far more capable to be trusted with it all.
If I say one thing to that frightened 9-month-pregnant me standing in that room years ago, I would say this: Don't let fear rob today's joy with tomorrow's unknowns. Each day has enough worries of its own (Matthew 6:34).
Instead, let us keep seeking God, running to Him as our secure fortress and resting in the knowledge that He will care for us and our children one day at a time.
What are you scared of today? Name your fears and bring them to the Lord, allowing Him to replace them with His peace that passes all understanding.
He Gives Shade To The Weary
If anxiety is a struggle for you right now, remember that He gives shade to the weary.
Do you ever have those moments of fear because you don't know what lies ahead? When do those thoughts tend to happen to you?
For me, most of those thoughts happen when I lay my head down to sleep at night. The vulnerability comes forth every time. That's what happened the other night to me. I shut my eyes and immediately anxiety welled up inside me.
What if we don't succeed in this new venture? What if we have to move? What if we can't pay our bills?
I laid there with the covers drawn tight over my head (I still think that I am safer if the covers are over my head), praying scripture over my anxious heart. Assuring myself that God sees me and that He cares.
In the morning, I turned to Isaiah 41, specifically verses 10-20.
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NASB)
Yesterday, the "what if's" piled up as I anxiously looked about me. My daughter needs tutoring, however at this point in life, tutoring feels like a luxury we can't afford. So I listed some items online to sell hoping to make just enough to cover the tutoring. I'm buying groceries on a Visa reward card. I'm holding my breath until the next paycheck comes. But what did God speak over me: Do not fear. Do not look anxiously about you.
"For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.' Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you," declares the Lord, "and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:13-14 NASB)
Why shouldn't I be anxious? Because God will hold me up. God will help me. When I first read the word "worm" as a description, I took it as a slam against Israel. Like, gesh, God. What animal does He relate me to? But through further study, He calls them a worm because worms are helpless. They are viewed as insignificant, despised and weak. God will help me — seemingly insignificant, helpless me — because He is my Redeemer. He is my go'el — my next of kin. The Redeemer is the one who provides for all my needs. Rent. Car payment. Credit card bill. Gas. Food. Clothes. Debt. God will redeem.
"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, And will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:15-16 NASB).
God is transforming me from a helpless one to a powerful one. The description of that type of threshing sledge is like a modern day earth mover. Powerful. Strong. Immovable.
"The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst; I, the Lord, will answer them Myself, As the God of Israel I will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17, NASB)
He will come to our rescue. God, Himself, will answer you and me. Can you hear how personal that sounds? Have you ever pleaded with someone important whether your boss, public figure, or even a parent, and they responded to the need themselves? You expected for them to send their assistant, but instead they — the most important one — responded to you.
"I will open rivers on the bare heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water And the dry land fountains of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress." (Isaiah 41:18-19, NASB)
This passage describes the wilderness-like times in life. You are barren. You are thirsty. You are hot. You are in need. God will provide what you need. God will quench your thirst. He will provide shade when you are weary. During those times, God can provide in creative, innovative ways. He can provide something out of nothing. Doesn't that give you great hope? Even when you can't answer how He will do it, He is creative enough to figure it out even when the odds are stacked against you.
"That they may see and recognize, And consider and gain insight as well, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it." (Isaiah 41:20 NASB).
God will do all of this so that His glory will be put on display. People — including yourself — will see that He is powerful.
So you can see how after a night of wrestling with fear and anxiety, reading this was like shade and water for my soul. God is a god who sees. And God is a god who acts on your behalf.
What do you need His help with today? What are you fearful about today? What keeps you awake at night? Where do you need some shade?

Brightening prospects over the past two days for embattled Greece have spurred a rally in the Global X FTSE Greece 20 exchange-traded fund as well as in U.S.-listed shares of the country's largest lender.
The Greece 20 ETF climbed to a nearly two-month high, and had been up by 5.4%, on pace for its strongest percentage rise in nearly a month, as the European Central Bank on Wednesday said it will begin to accept bonds guaranteed by Greece as collateral in its monetary operations.
The move opens the door for local banks to access less expensive funds, which may allow for expanded lending. The ECB stopped accepting Greek debt as collateral in July.
NYSE-listed shares of National Bank of Greece were up as much as 12.3% Wednesday on heavy volume, their biggest leap since early October.
The ECB's announcement came a day after Standard & Poor's upgraded Greece's credit rating following the completion last week of its distressed debt buyback. S&P cited the "determination" of the euro zone to support Greece's membership and the Greek government's commitment to fiscal and structural adjustments as reasons for the six-notch upgrade.
Also higher on Wednesday were prices on Greek government bonds, which hit their highest level since a debt restructuring in March.

|Good-Neighbor Project Benefits Senior Adults, February 2008
A good-neighbor effort by members of the Roswell SeniorNet Learning Center has made it possible for Cherokee County senior adults to take basic computer courses at the Woodstock SeniorNet Learning Center. The Woodstock Learning Center, a satellite of the Roswell Learning Center, is located in the Woodstock Library.
Betty Rice at Woodstock Senior Services contacted Roswell SeniorNet in June 2007 to see if they could assist in getting a learning center started. Betty had tried several different approaches without success in trying to satisfy a rising demand for senior computer classes at the William G. Long Senior Center in Woodstock before seeking the assistance of Roswell.
Roswell member Don Hogan, with the assistance of fellow SeniorNet members George Fuller and Bob Nelson, helped in setting up the new satellite. Elesa Livingston of National SeniorNet and Sue Stephens and Donna Ferguson, both on the Woodstock Library staff, also were involved in the planning.
Two classes, Computers for the Terrified and Computer Fundamentals, are the initial offerings at the new Learning Center. Classes started February 3, 2008. At this time the classes are full and a waiting list for the next session is underway.
See class photos.

Reviewed by Preston H. (age 11)
I found myself reading this book more and more each day because I was entranced by the action and suspense. In fact, there was one part when the black cats were trying to stop Varjak from escaping to Outside, this was probably my favorite part because of all the action. I thought Varjak was very lonely when he was growing up in the family, because everyone made fun of him and abandoned him. Through the illustrations I was able to get an even better image of my farvorite character Varjak. Varjak was my favorite character because I could connect with him a lot. He is usually very independent and doesn't give up easily ... just like me.
I recommend this book to any 5th or 6th grader who likes short action books. I also recommend this book to any cat lovers or anyone who likes the book series Warriors.
