The Gift of New Hope | Scriptures for the Church Seasons

Outside Books - Minor 156
The Gift of New Hope, originally published in 2015, invites readers to explore their yearning for God's presence through a study of the lectionary Bible readings for Advent and Christmas. Each week's Scriptures call us to praise God as we actively await the coming of Christ and prepare our hearts and lives for his arrival. Through the readings, we hear the invitation to claim and celebrate the new hope we have in Jesus Christ.
The season of Advent offers opportunities to prepare for God's coming in human form in the infant Jesus and for the fulfillment of God's kingdom with the second coming of Christ. Hope is the focus of Advent worship, study, and prayer. We will discover the light that began in the manger, which continues as we look forward with hope to Christ's return.
The Gift of New Hope is based on the Revised Common Lectionary scriptures for church year C, the third of a three-year cycle of Bible readings. The study includes commentary and reflection on readings from the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the Epistles. It offers the opportunity to explore these Bible readings in a five-session study. It will help participants understand, appreciate, and engage in meaningful and joyous celebrations of Advent and Christmas and to live each day in God's hope through Jesus Christ.

When Elaine Fairfax was on holiday recently in the south of France, she was adopted by a stray tabby-and-white cat who walked in her back door looking a bit thin and bedraggled. Concerned that he didn't have a home of his own, Elaine fed him and shared her home with him.
As the end of her holiday approached, Elaine decided she wanted to adopt the cat, now called Pepe, and take him back to the UK with her. Being the founder and MD of Animal Friends Pet Insurance in the UK, Elaine knew that without a pet passport, Pepe would have to spend a few weeks in quarantine. So she contacted Animalcouriers to find out about arranging for him to travel to quarantine in the UK.
In conversations with Elaine we discussed various transport options and alternatives to quarantine. Getting Pepe a pet passport was the first step; but when Pepe was taken to the vet to get the ball rolling, it was discovered that he already had a microchip. So things took a different direction. The new mission was to find out who Pepe's owners were, with Elaine prepared to cover the costs of Pepe's journey to be reunited with them.
Finding Pepe's family
Leaving her friends and family on the beach, Elaine took an entire morning out of her holiday to start looking for Pepe's family. Animalcouriers also asked Dr Diana James, a British vet living in France and an old friend of ours, to help. Pepe's microchip records revealed he had a family in the Dijon area of France. As soon as they heard he had been found, the family jumped in their car and set off to collect him!
Very pleased to have been able to do the right thing by Pepe and his owners, Elaine told us: "It's the best outcome, Pepe is such a character cat and obviously loved by his family."
What happened next
But the story didn't end there. Elaine has always been a great supporter of animal welfare charities, both in a personal capacity and through her business. She offered a £3,000 donation to be shared between three charities of Animalcouriers' choice. We nominated Nine Lives Greece, the Filozoikos Shelter, and Chats du Quercy. The fantastic work of both Greek charities, based in Athens, is well known to us; and Diana James is the nominated vet for Chats du Quercy, a well known cat charity in the Cahors region of France. Here's how the three charities plan to use their donations.
Nine Lives Greece
Cordelia from Nine Lives Greece tells us:
"We will be spending this extremely generous donation on neutering, vaccinating and providing other necessary veterinary care for illness or injury to a colony of stray cats in central Athens. This colony will be selected judging by how risky their situation is, how many individuals there are, and whether there is a local feeder who is open to the concept and benefits of neutering.
Since we founded Nine Lives Greece in 2006, we have trapped and taken for neutering/spaying more than 5,000 cats in Athens, returning the cats back to their location after sterilisation. We try to work colony by colony, in order to get as many individuals neutered as possible in each place. We make sure to keep visiting each large colony to make sure that all the cats are well, that no-one needs veterinary attention, and to make sure any newcomers are taken to the vet to be neutered too. This way, instead of an ever-increasing group of sickly cats and kittens, with tomcats spraying and caterwauling, and females constantly pregnant or feeding kittens, the neighbourhood gets a healthy colony of cats whose numbers stabilise and gradually decrease."
Filozoikos Shelter
Kiki from the Filozoikos Shelter says:
"This wonderful gift is very much appreciated as we are in the middle of the summer, and the number of dogs and consequently our needs are at their highest. We are in the middle of treating June, a young female dog who we found suffering from leishmaniasis, mange and 'aphrodisio' — a sexually transmitted disease. The treatment plus her neutering is going to cost €500. Elpida, Marina, Haris, Earth and Velvet will be neutered with the rest of the money — neutering costs €100 per dog. They were all found abandoned and all of them except Marina have already found homes."
Chats du Quercy
Lynn and Ron from Chats du Quercy tell us:
"We would like the £1000 to be the first donation for the start of our new Rescue Facility funding, so it will help immensely, hopefully encouraging others too! Our objective is simple: to help cats in need. Each cat receives the best possible care and attention from the first day. Every cat is assessed by a veterinary surgeon before receiving the medical, surgical and emotional treatment and care that they need. We also have a qualified cat behaviourist on hand. All our cats are checked and treated on a daily basis until they are fit to be found good homes."

Does anybody make use of this suite? I think it's a lousy reward given that most players are likely going to get access to the much better Presidential Suite not long after entering The Tops for the first time. And even if you wanted to put off seeing Benny after entering the Tops (for whatever reason), this suite still sucks, most especially because of the two respawning Chairmen guards who cheerfully wander in and out of the suite as if they're your roommates while delivering their non-stop, repetitive dialogue ("You dig this crazy scene, or what?" No, I don't. Get the @#$! out of my suite, please).
Not very good planning here.18.104.22.168 22:37, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
Very lousy indeed. What kind of ass-backward suite has no view of the strip, or any windows at all, for that matter? I use the "A Bunker to Call Home" mod instead. It's got a bar with a pool table, kitchen with fresh water faucet, indoor hydroponics setup, armory, lab, bedroom, bathroom, and living room with a TV. Much better than that shitty suite. 126.96.36.199 20:23, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Enrolling In TSA PreCheck Just Got Easier
Getty Images
Enrolling in TSA PreCheck is getting more convenient. The office retailer Staples said this week it will open 50 enrollment centers this summer, making it the second retailer to offer the service run by IDEMIA, the security company whose IdentoGo centers comprise all of TSA's 1,200 enrollment spots nationwide.
The centers are already in some state motor vehicle offices and in H&R Block offices in 27 states, and IDEMIA says it plans to open more in retail stores soon. The first wave of Staples enrollment centers will be in Boston, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle and Los Angeles, with plans for more cities. Most of the current TSA PreCheck enrollment centers are in airports.
Created in 2011, TSA PreCheck is a prescreening program that allows travelers easier access to security at airports. Users pay an $85 fee for five years of coverage after filling out an application and going through the requisite screening process — which includes a fingerprint scan and background check at an enrollment center. TSA says PreCheck customers face security wait times of five minutes or less.
To enroll at the centers coming to Staples, travelers will need to make an appointment online at IdentoGo.com and fill in some biographical information, including name and address. When arriving for their appointment, customers must have a birth certificate and driver's license/state-issued identification, or a passport. They will meet with a TSA-approved enrollment agent, who will take fingerprints and verify information. Ten to 30 days later, customers will get their "known traveler number" (KTN), which they can input every time they buy an airline ticket. That number triggers the TSA PreCheck logo visible on boarding passes and allows travelers access to the faster security lines.

SJFD Cold Weather Construction Continues
Categories: From Around The State, News
On Friday May 4, we will host a series of classes that we hope you can attend. In an effort to make it easier to attend, we will have some four hour classes in the afternoon, in addition to the full day board member orientation and recruiting and retention classes. Be sure to sign up online. Registration starts Friday afternoon and we will have vendors set up during classes and registration. We will have a FFAM Booth and the Auxiliary will be hosting a silent auction. Friday evening is opening ceremonies followed by a mixer with snacks and drinks
Saturday morning is the firefighter contest. If you don't plan on attending the contest, you may want to consider our Apple Blossom Parade. It will start at Noyes and Fredrick, ending up in the downtown area. Make sure you plan to arrive early, as spots on the parade route fill up quickly. Make sure the kids bring a bag to collect candy in.
If you plan on building a new station, buying new trucks or equipment, this next activity is for you. On Saturday afternoon, we look forward to giving tours of our two new stations. We will have firefighters on hand to guide you through the stations as well as truck displays, architects, communication and equipment vendors to tell you about their products that were installed in the stations and see them in use. The station tours will be followed by an opportunity to visit our own SJFD fire museum. Once you are done at the Fire Museum, the Patee House museum, Jesse James home and Pony Express National museum are all within walking distance. If time allows, make sure you visit the park across the street from the Pony Express Museum where you can see a restored Burlington Northern steam engine.
If stations aren't your thing, we have a tour to the Remington Nature center on the riverfront. The nature center has a large aquarium, numerous animal exhibits and artifacts. After the indoor tour of the Nature Center you can take a leisurely walk around the Nature Center grounds or stroll along the river on our walking trail.
Still not your thing, then stay on the bus and have them drop you off at the Frontier Casino to try your luck at games of chance.
Or you can always go off on your own and play miniature golf at Cool Crest, go bowling at the nearby Belt Bowling alley, or visit the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, with works by Henri, Cassatt and Thomas Hart Benton. There is the Black Archives Museum, and Glore Psychiatric Museum, covering 400 years of psychiatric history. You could also drive our parkway system. The parkway runs from Krug Park in the North end to Hyde park in the South end. Both parks have large playground areas. Stop at Bartlett park and see the treehouse that was made for everyone to enjoy and then drive a mile down the parkway and skate on the ice at the Bode Ice arena. Or shoot some hoops on the outdoor courts. If you choose the parkway drive, be sure to stop at Wyeth Hill or King Hill observation points. Both sit high above the city and give great views of the river.
Saturday evening we have Bryan Dehner, the Fire Chief of Overland Park KS, giving a short presentation on the multiple story, multiple building fire that destroyed several apartment buildings under construction and damaged a large number of single family homes from the flying embers. After the banquet we will have live music by Phil Vandel.
We look forward to hosting FFAM and hope to see you in May.


text: The flocculation (from Latin flocculus: small bundle of wool) is a physical/technical process in which the finest suspended or colloidal foreign components of water are coagulated (clumped) in order to be able to deposit and remove them better by sedimentation or filtration. Thus it is possible to remove dissolved substances such as phosphate or some of the dissolved organic carbon from the water. The chemicals used in this process, called flocculants, are subdivided into organic polyelectrolytes and inorganic primary flocculants. The latter are usually hydroxide creators such as calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide or iron hydroxide.

I was referring to a General Fancase that's come with Hydraulic bearing in specifications,like these :
http://www.idcooling.com/Product/det...e/SF-12025-RGB (opened and it was a rifles bearing)
Some powersupply advertising Thier fan as Hydraulic bearing either.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Power-Supply/Power-Supply , here the review

And here the last one I've opened 1 hours ago.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...1/DSC_0267.JPG ( that circle surrounding is magnetic)
All iam trying to say is , based on the amount of fans I've been opening (those fan I referred above), most of them ended up to be Rifle bearing. And you're right , pretty much can't tell which one you'll get without opening them and it's confusing.

On 1st August 2009 Blackboard will undergo a major upgrade (from version 7 to 9).
What action do I need to take now?
- Make sure that you are using Internet Explorer 7 to access Blackboard 9. If you have upgraded to Office 2007 this is part of the upgrade. If you need to access Blackboard from home or a non-cfs PC you will need to upgrade those machines. Office 2007 for home is available from ITS for £17. IE7 is available free to download from Microsoft
- IE 8, Firefox 3 and Safari 3 are also supported.
What will stay the same?
- Your courses will be automatically transferred to the new software
- Jo Badge will still recycle them ready for the new academic year (remove the 2008/9 students and enrol the 2009/10 cohort)
- You will still be able to use the TurnitinUK system for submitting work for plagiarism scanning. I strongly recommend that you create new TurnitinAssignment items for students to submit work rather than re-use previous links.
What will change?
- The major change is to the way that you add and edit information on course sites. This now predominantly occurs through in-context menus (i.e. click on an item to change it). The control panel is also accessible from the main course page .
- Interactive screenshots of an instructor view and edit mode in Blackboard 9
- Some things will disappear: electronic blackboard, digital drop box, signup list, student homepages.
- Some things will get better: the gradebook is much enhanced and requires far less clicking to operate
What support is available?
- ITS are providing quick overviews of the changes on: Tuesday 23rd June: 11am – 12pm and Monday 7th September: 2pm – 3pm (Book via email@example.com )
- Jo Badge will be running an overview of the changes that affect academic and support staff in the School in the week beginning 14 September 2009. Location and further details will be announced soon.
- A meeting with MSc convenors has already been arranged for 25 June to take account of the MSc's earlier start in the academic year.
More information on the upgrade is available from ITS

It's been a while, perhaps now years I didn't come across a simple sweet love story that would make me fall for it. But, Aashiqui 2 did it. I have not seen the original Aashiqui, so I do not know how it was but this movie is simply heartwarming and very touchy. It has illustrated the perfect way how unconditional love is. Surprisingly, if you'll tell any person who doesn't know about the movie to watch it, he won't believe that it a Bhatt Camp production. Yea, it's that clean (Wink)
Besides, the movie can be like a balm to all the ruined hearts who think they have lost it in life -especially those who are addicted to various vices. Really inspirational, I wouldn't be surprise if a young bloke may think of ceasing his drinking habit after watching it.
And I'm so happy the movie depicts the girl supporting unconditionally. Thus, conveying that not all girls' are bitches. Sigh! Everyone who is or have been madly in love sometime or the other would definitely love this simple yet effective movie. Worth a watch!
P.S. – No, I haven't been paid even a single penny to write this. But I loved the movie so much that I felt like penning it down.
You can watch the movie in the theatre or if you love streaming latest movies on your Laptop then watch it here like me

Rating: 2 Stars
The sequel to If I Stay brings us to three years after Mia's tragic accident where she is a famous cellist and her boyfriend, Adam Wilde, is the lead singer and guitarist in a very famous band. The two drifted apart after Mia went off to Juilliard and this book takes us through the demise of their relationship, the uprising of their careers, and all the feels at the end!
This book is what I always refer to as a cute read. It was nice and fluffy with an ending that doesn't make you want to rip your own heart out after reading! I like to read these types of books after I read a particularly dark or heavy book to lighten my mood. Which is what this one did. I would have given it a 2.5 star rating but there are no half stars! It wasn't exactly amazing enough to be granted a 3 star rating, though, so I had to go with the 2, but I'd say it's in between. It was nice and adorable.
What I will add is that I really enjoyed how Forman included little verses from some of Adam's hit songs at the beginning of certain chapters. And at the end she even added a few of his "new songs" that are released after the book technically ends. I really enjoyed that bit of almost mixed media (even though yes, it's just reading words, either way.) It was cool to have some of those songs in there so you actually knew what they were about (or alluded to) instead of them just being abstract concepts left to your imagination! Really loved that bit!

ST. LOUIS -- Already one of the most decorated defenders at the catching position in Major League history,
This Gold Glove pushes Molina closer to catching royalty, as only Johnny Bench (10) and Ivan Rodriguez (13) won more at the catching position.
After winning the honor eight consecutive seasons from 2008-15, Molina was beat out by Posey ('16) and

Though he was a top-three finisher among NL second basemen for the first time in his career,
Wong edged LeMaheiu, 19-18, in total number of defensive runs saved (DRS), but LeMahieu logged 218 2/3 more innings at the position. LeMahieu, a three-time Gold Glove winner, also led all NL defenders in the SABR Defensive Index. Wong finished second in that ranking.
As for Molina, statistically, this did not rank among the best defensive seasons of his career. But even after missing a month while recovering from groin surgery, he ranked third among all NL catchers with 1,017 2/3 innings behind the plate. Only 27 stolen-base attempts were made against Molina, and he threw out 12 of those runners. Molina finished with a minus-1 DRS.

As one of the NL's Gold Glove winners, Molina is now eligible for the Platinum Glove Award, which is given to the best defensive player in each league. The award was established in 2011, and Molina has won it four times.
Voting for this award is open at Rawlings.com and will continue until 9 p.m. CT on Thursday.

Throughout 2017, popular brands witnessed the power of Black Twitter and the brand impact of socially conscious Black consumers. Through social media, Black consumers have brokered a seat at the table and are demanding that brands and marketers speak to them in ways that resonate culturally and experientially—if these brands want their business. And with African Americans spending $1.2 trillion annually, brands have a lot to lose.

All schools will have broken up for the summer holiday by tomorrow and many already have. Hooray! I recommend you go outside to a green space (although in most parts of the UK the green has turned brown – my lawn looks like a beach) and spread your arms wide and breathe deep. Fling your head back, close your eyes, feel the breeze (if there is one) on your face and say, "I did it! That year is done and now I have some well-deserved free time."
What to do with it? How to use it well and make the most of it? Well, I would love you to focus on your well-being. You could go back through all the 29 tips I've given you so far and see if any work well for a summer holiday. (Put "52 Ways" into the search box above.) The last one, about having a hobby, is a good example.
I've decide to give you a quick list of some new ones I think would work really well over the summer.
#30 Tackle one thing
During term-time or a busy working week it's very easy to get caught up in all the things we have to do and it can be hard to see the big picture, to look ahead or to plan how to change anything we need to change. We go around thinking, "I'm disorganised/anxious/snappy/negative – I'm that kind of person and I can't change it." What we need to do is break it down and solve parts of the problem, rather than focusing on the whole thing. So, rather than "I'm always snappy," think "I was snappy to my friend/sibling/Mum/dog this morning – how can I make it up to them, apologise and smile at them this evening?" Small changes. It'll make you feel better and that will make you less snappy.
Or look at why you get snappy. Does it happen when you're hungry or thirsty? Easily sorted! Hunger and thirst can make some people really ratty – me, for example… If I can't get some food or drink quickly, I tell the people with me that I'm suffering from hunger and it's making me ratty so they should stay out of my way. (Or find me a biscuit. Please. Thank you.)
Or, if your room is always untidy and getting you down, see #32 below!
Some things you tackle could be small and others could be big. This year, I tackled the fact that I knew very well that I didn't get enough heart-rate-raising exercise so…I became a runner. I made that sound easy – it wasn't. This was a MASSIVE change for me. I'll write about it separately soon. I decided I had to do it and I got help from an App (Couch to 5k) and just did it.
That was one change that has massively improved my life. (It could be making it longer, too.)
There's one other major change I want to make in my working life but I know I can't do it yet. But I'm looking ahead at how I can one day and I'm looking for the opportunities I need to do it. Watch this space.
So, take a look at your life and decide to change one thing. Don't worry if it doesn't work. Just try again or try something different. Chat to a friend: what do you each want to change this summer?
#31 Drink water
I was recently asked by a young person in a school event about well-being: "Will drinking another glass of water make my brain work better?" The answer is, "Only if you hadn't drunk enough already." Drinking more water does not make our brain work better unless we haven't drunk enough. So, drink enough! But what's "enough"? There's no simple answer, though some websites will try to give you a target amount. The thing is we also get a lot of water from food – an apple is almost entirely water, for example – and that all counts in those targets you read about.
"Enough" means certainly drinking as soon as you're even slightly thirsty but ideally drinking before you feel you need to. Feeling thirsty is your body's way of telling you to drink. Don't ignore it.
But avoid fizzy drinks, which are not helpful, even though they might make you think you're not thirsty. If you drink caffeinated coffee or tea this only has half the hydrating effect. (Even decaf coffee and tea have some caffeine, unless it says "caffeine-free".) Water is best but there's no real problem with adding something to flavour it. Most people find it easier to drink water that's nice and chilled. I think drinking some water before bed and when you get up is important but apart from that just avoid feeling very thirsty by drinking at the first sign that you might be and remember that on hot days you will need more.
There's more about the science of drinking and hydration in Positively Teenage. "Liquid" is the second of the eight FLOURISH principles.
#32 Tidy your room!
And adults, tidy your office or sort the kitchen cupboards or the garage. In my opinion there are very few people who genuinely thrive in a mess. You might pretend you don't care about your untidy room but don't you honestly love it when it's all clear and everything that's meant to be out of sight is out of sight? Mess and chaos and dirt are things humans are wired not to like; they make us uncomfortable, itchy, snappy, even a bit down; and they usually make it harder for us to work well and even, I'd say, to relax. The summer holidays give us a great chance to get sorted, especially as we can't be out in the sun all the time. Allow yourself enough time and do a massive tidy: everything out of drawers and cupboards, rubbish thrown away, things you don't use/want any more disposed of or stored out of sight.
If you share a room with a sibling, this is obviously tricky. How well you get on with them will affect how you handle this. But you can do it!
One tip: if you're going on holiday, tidy your room before you go. It's deeply unpleasant arriving back home tired and grumpy and then finding dirty clothes from two weeks ago or whatever tip you happen to have left all over your floor.
#33 Look at nature
Looking at a scene of natural beauty makes us feel better. As the authors of that useful gathering of evidence from the University of Minnesota say:
"According to a series of field studies conducted by Kuo and Coley at the Human-Environment Research Lab, time spent in nature connects us to each other and the larger world. Another study at the University of Illinois suggests that residents in Chicago public housing who had trees and green space around their building reported knowing more people, having stronger feelings of unity with neighbors, being more concerned with helping and supporting each other, and having stronger feelings of belonging than tenants in buildings without trees. In addition to this greater sense of community, they had a reduced risk of street crime, lower levels of violence and aggression between domestic partners, and a better capacity to cope with life's demands, especially the stresses of living in poverty."
It doesn't have to be spectacular – a park or grassy space is better for our mental health than a wall.
So, get out there and find some natural beauty, whether it's grass, trees, flowers, a river or stream, mountains, hills or valleys, or the seaside. But don't just look at it. Look at it properly. Take some time to think about it, to be silent in the face of nature, to breathe it in a little. And feel it settle your mind and your soul.
#34 Slow down
I go too fast. I'm in a rush and set myself goals that are often impossible. But I know that this is not something I can keep doing (I've paid the price for that before) so I make sure I do sometimes slow down. As Billy Joel said in the sing, Vienna, "Slow down, you crazy child, and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two. When will you realise, Vienna waits for you?"
So, although you might have big plans for this holiday and you might be doing exciting things, make sure you also find time to slow down, stop doing, and just let the world spin without you for a bit. Breathe, breathe, and breathe again.
Have a wonderful holiday. Have a rest, have a change and give your brain and body what it needs to recuperate from all the hard work and to FLOURISH: Food, Liquid, Oxygen, Use, Relaxation, Interest, Sleep and Happiness.

text: I doubt we'll ever find ourselves saying it's been a bad year for Marvel Studios but with Avengers – Age Of Ultron coming in to less than stellar reviews (including from yours truly) and then Jurassic World absolutely dominating the box office and breaking all records, it's safe to say that 2015 won't be seen as a roaring success. Pity then that Ant-Man seems to have flown quite far below many radars. It's not perfect but it certainly sits in the upper echelon of the studio's output. Continue reading Ant-Man Review

Airing My Laundry, I know you've read about this great little blog! Well, she just reminded us that It's Okay Tuesday, the opportunity to list the items of the day (week, month or year) that it's okay to be okay with.
1. It's okay that I'm having a hard time whittling down the guilt and shame list to a it's okay list!
2. It's okay that I'm blogging instead of hanging up the laundry on my bed.
3. It's okay that my mom's health is scaring the hell out of me and I don't know what to do to help.
4. It's okay that I rented a one bedroom cabin for our family reunion this summer, not one of the 2, 3 or 4 bedroom cabins that everyone else is renting because.....
5. It's okay that I want to be alone with my husband at night.
6. It's okay that I skipped juicing this morning because, well, because!
7. It's okay that I taught my 20 month old great-granddaughter to dust the furniture. She was doing it anyway but now it's with a dust cloth and not sweet potatoes.
8. It's okay that I don't answer the door when someone uses the doorbell.
9. It's okay when I watch Supernatural with my granddaughter and make fun of Sammy.
10. It's okay that I'm going to be okay with all of this tomorrow even though it's Wednesday and not It's Okay Tuesday...well, except for the laundry part. I will hang up the laundry. I will hang up the laundry. I will hang up the laundry. I will hang up the laundry. I will hang up the laundry.

Introduction: Plectrum (Pick) Advice
Following the moderate success of my first 'ible, "How to Pick a Guitar," I thought I'd give a few pointers on guitar picks. After all, picks are important for guitarists as they add to the sound and make playing a different experience.
Let's go!
Step 1: Material
Generally, guitar picks are made of plastic, but some can be made of wood or metal, though plastic is the most common. Material is quite important as it contributes to how the instrument will sound when played. I find that a metallic pick gives a clearer sound, but plastic picks are best to use as they're more gentle on the strings, cheap and abundant in music shops. If, however, you fancy experimenting with different pick materials, go ahead!
Step 2: Shape
No matter the shape, length or width, the pick is held at the widest end, while the thinnest plucks the strings. Some picks are a strange shape, this tends to be for show only and gives no advantage to playing. Longer, thinner picks are better for strumming multiple strings at once, but gives you less control when you're playing single note melodies, as opposed to shorter picks.
Step 3: Thickness
One of the most important factors when choosing a pick is the thickness of it. Thinner picks can bend more, while thicker picks do not. Thickness can be easy to distinguish as it can be labelled on the pick itself (e.g. 1.5 mm tends to be common). A trained eye can tell a pick's thickness with a glance, but don't worry about doing this, it's not the most important skill to possess. Thinner picks are better for strumming, while thinner picks are better for picking individual strings. Taking that into account, it's a good idea to find a pick that fits your style, depending on if your a rhythm guitarist or a lead guitarist.
Step 4: Alternative Methods of Picking
Despite everything I've mentioned in this 'ible, the pick isn't the only method of playing the guitar. Many guitarists prefer to play with their fingers (finger picking) as opposed to using a piece of plastic. When I need a pick, but don't have one, I tend to use a 50p piece that's lying in my pocket to play my instrument. Also, if your a big Led Zeppelin fan, you could take inspiration from Jimmy Page and play with a violin bow. Be sure to have an advanced knowledge of the guitar before doing the latter, however. If you've got a piece of plastic lying around and the tools to work with, make your own custom pick!!
Step 5: Finished!!
If there's anything more I could add, it's this: find a pick that does what you want it to. if you want to switch between chords and picking, a medium thickness pick is for you. But, ultimately, the instrument is yours, so play as you see fit!! If in doubt, get a small bag full of picks, can't go wrong then!

Good info !
When I was a kid and didn't have a few cents to buy guitar picks , I would get a pair of scissors and cut up a plastic bottle . My home-made picks worked as good as the ones I could buy at the music store ! Since then , I have made picks by cutting them out of various materials , all recycled or re-purposed items .
I cut up an old zildjian crash cymbal from my drum set that had chunks knocked out of it from vigorous playing . Picks made from bronze cymbals are really stiff . I have used different plastics and metals of various thicknesses and stiffness . My favorite is .005" , .127 mm Aloma " C " stainless steel shimstock . A friend of mine has a " punch " that can be used to make picks out of old credit cards ! similar to this one :
Cheers , take care , and have a good day !!....73
Mate, could you private message me? I'm really interested to see how different materials affected the sound of the guitar? Thanks for the comment man, take care!
I do it often, actually

Malala defies threats to return to Pakistan
The 20-year Nobel Peace Prize winner returned to her homeland for her first visit since she was attacked by a Taliban gunman in 2012
She landed at Islamabad's international airport named after a daughter of Pakistan who was educated at Oxford University and aspired to keep the ravages of extremism at bay.
Malala Yousafzai, the 20-year Nobel Peace Prize winner, returned to her homeland for her first visit since an attack on her school bus in 2012 left the student from Swat Valley fighting for her life. Like Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister who was killed by an assailant in 2007, Miss Yousafzai is now studying at a top Oxford college.
Arriving at the house of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the current prime minister, in an official convoy under heavy security, Miss Yousafzai was moved to tears as she sought to discuss her exile from her homeland.
The Philosophy, Politics and Economics student became emotional as she explained her departure had not been of her choice. "I don't cry much," she said at the short official reception. "I had to go out for further treatment, I had to go out to continue my education.
"It has been my dream that I should go to Pakistan and there, in peace and without any fear, I can move on streets, I can meet people, I can talk to people," she said.
The ambition has been curbed on the trip. She has been targeted by a bitter hate campaign that at its wildest fringes accuses the young woman of being a pawn of Western intelligence agencies.

The Pakistani military airlifted Miss Yousafzai by helicopter hours after a Taliban gunman boarded a bus in the Swat town of Shangla, shooting her in the head. She was first flown to Peshawar, where she was placed in a medically induced coma, and then moved in a medical evacuation to the British city of Birmingham, where doctors battled for three days to save her life.
With the prize money from sharing the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize and proceeds from a bestselling memoir, Miss Yousafzai established the Malala Fund to help support the efforts of those seeking to educate girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. As a schoolgirl before the attack, she had already become a champion for greater access to learning.
The four-day trip is in part designed to promote the work of the fund, and Miss Yousafzai plans to meet with government officials and female and education activists. The fund has restored and supported schools in Pashtun areas.
Security considerations mean that a mooted plan for her to visit Swat, a picturesque area that was once a hiking and tourism destination, has been dropped.
Instead her family will travel to Islamabad where she is expected hold a reunion at a well-secured luxury hotel. Miss Yousafzai's exact schedule is being closely guarded for security reasons and fear of another attack by the Taliban.
Reflecting on her new life, she said she had "returned without any fear," observing: "I have seen a lot in these years."
The visit was cheered by many in Pakistan, including Marvi Simed, a member of the executive council of Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, who quoted words of welcome from the Urdu poet, Hafez Juanpuri.
"Welcome home [Malala]," she said. "You made us cry today. Really hope that all the children of my country and all countries are safe and secure."
To quote Hafeez Jaunpuri:
Baith jaata hooN jahaaN chhaaoN ghani hoti hay
Haaye kya cheez ghareeb ul watani hoti hay!— Marvi Sirmed (@marvisirmed) March 29, 2018
Others had a more grudging reaction based on suspicion of those who remove themselves from their homeland. "Pakistan is her home and if she has come home we welcome her, but we think that she has come as part of international agenda to malign Pakistan and we strongly condemn that," declared Kashif Mirza, president of the All Pakistan Private Schools Federation.
A social media campaign used the slogan "Know the real heroes" to attack the visit. It showed the image of a school boy shot in the mouth, claiming he had remained in Pakistan to study.
This is waleed khan
He was shot 8 times on his ace and other parts of his body in APS attack— YΛWΛR MIR (@yawarmirworld) March 29, 2018
"Real Pashtun don't leave the battleground they get back on their feet and face the enemy but Malala dramazai gets training from MI6 part of a script," declared Yawar Mir on Twitter.
However, other users responded that the image was of another Pakistani victim of violence, Waleed Khan, who was studying at the University of Birmingham school and had stood for the UK Youth Parliament as a champion of courage in the face of intimidation.

Where God draws the line
Not a whole lot to write. Just kind of a profound thought to share.
We don't know where God draws the line. At what point is a person truely saved? We're told that we are not to judge others and on the other hand we are given general guidlines to determine if some one is a true believer. The bottom line is that God is the judge in the end and we don't have a perfect line to follow. Some of us(Christians used generally) seem to think we know the line and others of us are not warry enough of the existance of a line to do the right things. As I've said many times in person and on this site seek a balance between the hard(and some times psycho) right and the sinful left.
I wish this was a final thought that went some place or brought me to a conclusion some how but I'm still pondering and I'm sure I'll get back when I've reached a conclusion. In other words think about it your self and check back in 50 or 60 years. Enjoy.

NEW ORLEANS — The Bush administration proposed a set of rules on Wednesday to regulate future projects off American shores that would use the ocean for alternative energy and aquaculture.
The rules could cover a wide variety of ideas, from turning unused oil platforms into huge fish farms to harnessing alternative energy from wind, currents, waves and algae.
But environmental groups question whether the federal agency in charge of offshore oil and gas drilling should oversee them.
The Minerals Management Service, a branch of the U.S. Department of the Interior, would get the authority to issue leases, easements and rights of way for projects on the Outer Continental Shelf, which is the zone of federal waters extending about 200 miles offshore.
"It is a step forward in trying to diversify our energy portfolio here at home," said David Smith, an MMS spokesman.
David Helvarg, a California oceans advocate and president of the Blue Frontier Campaign, said the United States needs to develop a "realistic energy future that doesn't use fossil fuels" and that could include offshore projects.
"The problem is that the Minerals Management Service has no credibility because it has become a tool of the energy industry," he said.
To remove or keep platforms?
The most controversial aspect for environmentalists may be MMS' attempt to allow offshore platforms to obtain new leases on life through an "alternate use," such as aquaculture.
Some oil companies have already experimented with using the massive platforms to anchor underwater pens for raising fish. The platforms themselves can store feed and house farmers.
Critics say oil companies are looking for ways to avoid paying the steep costs of removing platforms no longer in use. It can cost millions of dollars to decommission a platform.
Under the MMS proposal, an oil platform could avoid being decommissioned if the agency approves a suitable new use. With its extensive network of oil and natural gas platforms, the Gulf of Mexico is considered a prime spot for aquaculture.
"It can only help the United States become more independent of imports," said Granvil D. Treece, an aquaculture specialist at Texas A&M University.
Experts in the Gulf estimate that it would take only 2,000 acres of fish farms to match the amount of fish caught every year in the wilds, Treece said.
Fish waste a concern
But environmentalists say large-scale fish farming would pollute the oceans with fish waste and chemicals. Farmed fish, which often get heavy doses of antibiotics, can also escape into the wild and interfere with native species.
Zach Corrigan, an attorney with the Washington-based consumer group Food & Water Watch, said "industrial fish farming" is a major environmental concern and that MMS, an oil-and-gas dominated agency, should not be "in the business of regulating offshore aquaculture."
Smith, the MMS spokesman, said new leases would be subject to federal environmental laws and that other agencies would be consulted before projects are approved.
Treece said the environmental concerns are overblown.
"There would be very little impact out there," he said, "especially considering how many fish we're talking about."
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave MMS the lead role in pursuing new forms of development in offshore waters. The rules were published Wednesday in the Federal Register and are now open for a 60-day public comment period.

Valentines Day
A Short Story
"Solemn." The laconic reply struck Glen like a sedative, his heart thumped slower and his face darkened. To say he was emotionally taken back would be putting it delicately. Glen knew what it was like; he knew the feeling, the listless fever that would eventually burn your body, the tainting melancholy that painted a face the way he saw Don's right then; yea, he knew. It was never an easy day for Glen either, but ever since a few months ago, he didn't think like that anymore, he had been…saved. Ha! What an idiosyncratic term to use. Glen was hardly saved, perhaps he had found a way to prorogue the inevitable, but salvation was an impossibility, something Don never needed to know.
"Sorry to hear it," the words dribbling out of Glen's mouth, almost making him gag on the insincerity they held. He would never get used to this part; he had grown numb to the other obscenities and bizarre practices but the stalking, the confronting, and the "liberating," as she put it, were morbid and serpentine; Glen would never become aloof to those.
Glen hardly looked the type to be driving a cab. He wore thick, maladroit glasses, which matched the worn, jasmine color of the cab itself. Beneath the lumbering frames sunk deep, green eyes and his rough skin, almost a scarlet tone, made him look lonely and weathered, although he was only thirty-two. His lanky arms, mildly hairy, made it hard for Glen to find decent clothes, sometimes resorting to teenage hipster clothing to suit his needs. He didn't exactly have the world going for him, and his college degree in Arts hadn't granted him much excitement or money either, and it really did show, although Don was probably too occupied with his thoughts to take notice. Glen wasn't outgoing either; he never really had a woman to rely on, until recently. He was more of a loner, and he preferred not to talk about the queer hobbies that he indulged in.
"How you doing back there?" Glen's voice slightly ambiguous, "is it okay if I an alternate route? I know this superb shortcut, really does cut down on the traffic and fare."
Don stared at Glen intently, a slight cockeyed glance; he had wanted to take the long route, that was the main point of this venture. He was more interested in the soothing aura that the cab provided, ironically enough; he liked the jazz-type music and soft, pine aroma, he wanted to relax and ponder without the vexatious distractions of driving, but he wasn't exactly the type to argue, especially for the destination.
"Uh…yea, that's…that's fine." Don sunk into the perse seat of the cab, tattered from a lifetime of use. His fidgeting became more visible to Glen even through the black pockets of his thin overcoat, and as if trying to pacify him, Glen nodded with his head to something out the window, the sounds reaching Don's lobes but not registering. "Mmhmm." Glen's eyes slyly crawled to the rearview mirror, surveying Don. It was difficult, a gaping crack and taupe stain from cigarette smoke smudged the glass.
Casually, Glen spoke, "Tough day?" Don grunted, intent on the passing stores of the town's business district. Pink, red, and white signs and hearts littered almost every store, glittering love-signs and superficial holiday thanks written on colorful boards sung at passing customers.
"Valentines Day is a *poop*," Don grumbled, reverting his eyes to the mirror, meeting Glen's gawk. "A useless thing." Glen sensed he would say that, after all, he had been tracking him for almost two weeks, examining and preparing for right now. The car turned down an alley. " 'nother shortcut," Glen explained quickly, his hand resting on his thigh, the cold steel of his gun percolating the fabric. The car slowed for a pedestrian. The short, attractive woman wearing a croceate jacket blocked the street and stopped in the middle of the road, shadowy eyes piercing the car. Glen turned to Don, "here we are, time to get out."
"I'm not ready, I don't want to see her," snapped Don, sweat now building on his face. The silver shine of the gun, now centered on Don, spoke for Glen. Still, Glen mustered up all the persuasion he could, forging it into two words, "Out. Now."
Don obeyed. Ivory snow, about three inches deep, lay fresh on the concrete, more flowing from the rooftops and sky every minute. Glen spoke exhaustedly, almost whiningly, "follow the woman, and don't look back." Please just make this easy, Glen thought, as he trudged behind Don, an old acquaintance, occasionally checking behind him warily for careless bums or pedestrians; he didn't want things to get chaotic, especially with the way his stomach was acting lately. He probably had an infection he had guessed, most likely from all the human flesh. That was something he didn't tell his doctor though. "Food poisoning," were the words he recalled the doctor using. Regardless, it hurt like hell, particularly when things got bloody.
Ahead, the barren strip of alleyway led to a steel door, a camera perched above regarded Glen and the woman, before a faint beep was heard, and the door groaned to a slight open, the woman in red, Glen didn't exactly know her name, then nudging it open the rest of the way.
"In," she muttered, a leather-gloved hand reached through the abyss the door seemed to contain and absorbed Don. Crystal, the woman's pseudonym, the only name she would accept, loitered over to Glen. "What took so long?" her cimmerian fingernails slid over his skin affectionately.
"He wanted to take the long way…" a lie, although it probably wouldn't strike her as abnormal. Although Don had wanted to take the longer route, Glen had to attend to other business beforehand. Seemingly, she accepted the vindication, purring, "well come in and join the fun, Glen." The hairs on his skin lit up, a shiver coursing through his body, and he followed Crystal into the building.
A barrage of lights illuminated the empty stone floor, in the center, Don quivered and two other burly men stood opposite, nodding at Glen as he and Crystal entered. "Hello boys," she howled, trotting towards Don quickly. Don whimpered, submissively looking up at Crystal, as he had done months before, now wishing he had stayed, and then at Glen, eyes looking like an anxious dog. "No…Please…Crystal, be reasonable, I'm not telling anyone, I only left for a while, to find someone else, I was coming back, I swear!" his voice tumbled through octaves like static. Crystal knelt.
Undeterred, emotionless, she spoke. "Welcome, Don…" her deep-red tongue caressed her bare lips; "Glen here has informed me that you are indeed lonely on this day of love." Don, stagnant, said nothing, he knew what would happen; he had betrayed her, left the group in search of safety, as useless as it was. So he just looked at the two smiling men on either side of him. "I'm here to fix that," she drawled, gazing affectionately, "…for a price." Small, forced chuckles filled the room, and she began to kiss him, his cheeks, his eyes, his mouth. She wanted nothing but his lips on hers, if only for a moment. She wrapped her arms around him…and plunged the syringe deep into his back. "Tonight, love has been granted to this soul," Crystal chanted dully, tossing a fork to Glen, "eat your fill." Tears swelled but Glen retracted them with all his might, wishing he was where Don was right now, sinking the pronged silver into the body's arm.

In management theory and business practice, the dealing with diversity, especially a diverse workforce, has played a prominent role in recent years. In a globalizing economy companies recognized potential benefits of a multicultural workforce and tried to create more inclusive work environments. However, "many organizations have been disappointed with the results they have achieved in their efforts to meet the diversity challenge" [Cox: 2001, Creating the Multicultural Organization (Jossey-Bass, San Francisco)].
Professors Thomas Maak and Nicola Pless see the reason for this in the fact that while much attention has been paid to the strategic dimension of diversity policies, systems, and processes, much less thought has been given to the normative dimension, the norms and values involved. Given the fact that diversity is essentially about cultural norms and values, appropriate reflection work becomes a fundamental task to create a truly inclusive work environment where people from diverse backgrounds feel respected and recognized.
Therefore, the authors focus in this article - Building an Inclusive Diversity Culture, published in October of 2004 in the Journal of Business Ethics - on the challenge of building an inclusive diversity culture showing that such a "culture of inclusion" has to be built on solid moral grounds. We present a conceptual framework of inclusion based on a moral theory of recognition and introduce the founding principles of reciprocal understanding, standpoint plurality and mutual enabling, trust and integrity.
After revealing barriers that hinder a culture of inclusion from emerginglight is shed on the process of developing such a culture which involves four essential trans-formational stages: The first phase focuses on raising awareness, building understanding and encouraging reflection. The second phase deals with the development of a vision of inclusion as an important step to define the change direction. In a third phase key management concepts and principles should be re-thought.
This leads to the fourth, action-oriented phase, that focuses on an integrated Human Relations Management (HRM) system that helps implement change by doing both, translating the founding principles via competencies into observable and measurable behavior and fostering the development, reinforcement and recognition of inclusive behavior.

Cartagena is Colombia's vivacious Caribbean jewel. The port city is steeped in history amid stories of conquistadors and battles for independence, and its colourful colonial architecture has lived to tell the tales. The old town is encircled by a magnificent 13km-long stone wall, which has acted as protector of its inhabitants since 1796. Inside, smartly painted houses in vibrant hues sporting polished wooden balconies, brilliant blooming bougainvillea and intricate door knockers abound. In the adjacent up-and-coming Getsemani neighbourhood, winding streets lead to Plaza Trinidad, a square basking in the shadow of a picturesque 17th-century church, where old men meet to play scrabble and children hone their football skills.
While away hours exploring the cobbled streets, sampling street food and exploring iglesias or simply soaking up the laid-back Caribbean vibes. If in doubt, or in need of a little inspiration, consult This Is Cartagena and This Is Colombia Travel.
Cartagena isn't known for its beaches, but the Rosario Islands are. A smattering of islets a mere 40-minute boat ride from the city, this is where you'll find crystalline waters and fish so fresh you can still taste the sea salt.
By night, dinner is al fresco, in leafy restaurant courtyards bathed in moonlight or lively plazas serenaded by street performers. After dinner? This is when the city really comes alive to the pulsating, heady salsa beats.
Las Islas
Located 45 minutes outside of the city centre, these magical tree houses are the perfect spot for quiet contemplation and penning your thoughts. Kayak, scuba dive or snorkel with tiny fish during the balmy days before settling down for sunset drinks overlooking the island.

Race to open vegan cafe for Ipswich's Saints Summer Street Market
PUBLISHED: 18:26 11 June 2019
Award-winning vegan cafe owners Jon Halls and Jennie Debenham are racing against time to get their new Ipswich venture open.
They have enlisted an army of friends and volunteers as they attempt to get the Hullabaloo cafe open in St Peter's Street for the Saints Summer Street Market this Sunday.
After a year of running the first Hullabaloo, in Cemetery Road, they jumped at the opportunity of moving into the town centre taking on the former Jenny Wren's Yarns shop unit.
Jon Halls said: "We are determined to be open in some form, on Sunday. We have only had it three to four weeks. There was a lot to do.
"I feel like I am surviving by the seat of my pants most of the time. It is quite stressful.
"It still feels like a building site and we have got four days to go.
"We have had a massive team of volunteers and helpers. They have come out of the woodwork to help us. Some have helped physically, some with moral support. We are very grateful. The professionals have been brilliant too."
The couple originally launched their vegan cafe away from the town centre. This year it won the Best Coffee and Tea Shop Award in the EAT Suffolk Food and Drink Awards.
He added:"We wanted to find somewhere in the town centre, with more footfall. The Saints is the ideal area for us."
It needed conversion for the new use, he said, putting in a kitchen, flooring, a new door, a water heater, upgraded plumbing and wiring.
"We have a coffee tasting on Sunday, between seven different blends, and the choice of Bird and Wild coffee was unanimous," Jon added.
"It encourages biodiversity and a 6% donation from the profits goes to RSPB."
You may also want to watch:
Inside there is a strong emphasis on environmental impact as well as upcycling furniture and equipment.
"I think we are the auctioneers best friends," he said. "I think the only thing we bought new was one of the sinks, because of the dimensions.
"All the electricals are recycled. Some of the crockery is from a cafe that closed down."
He has made tables out of wrought iron bases and rescued timber, sanded and polished.
The counters are being made from old scaffold boards and the chairs are also being re-upholstered.

Homeward Bound – Canada on the Horizon
Well, suddenly I find myself making a little shift of plans to be homeward bound in the next couple of weeks. How did such a thing happen, and what does it change?
Going Back or Going Home?
There's this song that I heard a few years ago and it got a line stuck in my head, it goes something like this, "I finally know the difference between going back and going home," and I think that I am getting to such a point where I truly understand what it means.
You see, when I set out just shortly after my 29th birthday I told myself that I would be gone for a couple of years (this time around) without setting foot back in Canada. The idea was to go straight to Africa; tour around a few different countries, hit up a bunch of different volunteer projects on the way, learn some different approaches of sustainable development, and then return to Canada to implement many of the new fancy things learned.
That was around a year ago, my 30th birthday has been celebrated with all the wisdom and learning that comes from thinking about landing in a new generation and my time in Africa has been… well… ugh… ummm… I guess, if you really want to know… in a strictly 'official' sense of the term… well, I haven't actually landed in Africa yet.
You see, the straight line from Canada to Madagascar was bent a little bit to involve arriving in a box in France and then really stretched to include an Indian wedding and finally completely forgotten about when learning how to get robbed in Nepal.
But don't fret… I am on my way to Africa right now… well, after going to France and Canada again. Yes, I realize that to the untrained eye it may seem like I am all over the place. But, in fact, to the trained eye it is much different…
You see as it turns out, the straightest line between two points is in fact a straight line. I am sure that you are thinking that the straight line to Africa doesn't involve doing a large circle of three different continents, but you'd be wrong. You may have heard that the world is round (it's more egg-shaped but Galileo didn't like chickens) and the quickest way to travel from one point of a round (I'm also not fond of those cluckers) object to another is not actually to fly over top of it, above it's surface… but rather to disect it and cut right through the middle.
As such, I have been looking for the secret passage to Madagascar. Thinking that it might be the mystery behind the Lemurs in the Zoo, I first went to visit Toronto (and conveniently managed to witness the birth of my first Niece). Turns out there was no middle earth passage from Toronto to Madagascar… but it dawned on me that it used to be a French Colony so I headed to France (and conveniently managed to hang out with my girlfriend for a few months)… I looked for a passage there but never found it. Finally it occurred to me that there is much Indian influence in Madagascar so I headed off to India (and conveniently managed to catch my buddy's wedding there)… When I couldn't find it there I figured that the monks hanging out in the Himalayas, in their infinite wisdom, must be able to spread some light on my question. So I headed to Nepal, learned the language and pondered the question for awhile.
Alas, I have discovered (after managing many great conveniences) that the straightest line from Western Canada to Madagascar can only be found in Western Canada. So I will head back there, (head home one might say) and see what I can find. I mean… I have a couple of quick stops in France and Eastern Canada again to make sure I didn't miss any clues while I was there… But after that I am on my way to Western Canada… to hang out for a few months before heading off to Ethiopia. Oh, did I say I was going to Madagascar? Well, you see… Ethiopia is kind of on the way there, so I figured I'd head that way to do some volunteering for a bit and well… I will find my way to that enigmatic island country… I promise I will.
But I guess for the moment, I am a Hobo (originally meaning HOmeward BOund), coming back to catch up with my roots and see all you fantastic folk back in the great white north. So prepare the heaters, get the rink prepped and sharpen your skates (wrong season?)… I'm homeward bound and I'll be seeing you all soon.

What do balloons, Torah scrolls, and Jewish, Christian and Muslim youth of Kids4Peace Boston have in common? All made an appearance at the second meeting of our Summer 2014 kids and parents on Sunday, May 5, 2014! These important programs offer an opportunity to introduce kids and parents before they meet their Peace Pals in our two-week summer program.
A special highlight of this program was a tour of the sanctuary at Temple Beth Zion synagogue in Brookline, Massachusetts. In a small group of students from their faith tradition, they wrote their questions about Judaism and the sanctuary space of Temple Beth Zion. Rabbi Judy Kummer introduced the participants to their sanctuary's Torah scroll, and offered an opportunity for the participants to ask questions. Those who had never seen a Torah scroll were able to learn how the scrolls were physically created, and think about the similarities between their religious traditions' scriptures and Rabbi Kumer's Torah reading.
We look forward to our next event at the Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland, MA, where we will continue to build our relationships and learn a bit about the Islamic tradition!

It's a challenge worth all of our efforts, the challenge to end hunger. For the 17th year in a row, Bay Area Food Bank's Chef Challenge strives to reach that goal again as local chefs come together to crank out amazing dishes at the Alabama Cruise Terminal Thursday, Sept. 3, at 6 p.m.
Guests of the three-hour event will be treated to samplings from Bake My Day, Baumhower's, Boudreaux's Cajun Grill, Cakes by Judi, Cammie's Old Dutch, Felix's Fish Camp, Greer's Catering, Kitchen on George, Naman's Catering, Stevie's Kitchen, The Salvation Army, Tyner's Catering, Von's Bistro, Wintzell's, Wolf Bay Lodge, Zea's and Liquid Lounge/OK Bicycle Shop.

Whole Foods teases opening date
Folks are ravenous for the next step in high-end grocery stores to open its doors in the Pinebrook Shopping Center at the corner of McGregor Street and Airport Boulevard. Whole Foods, which rose from humble beginnings in 1980 Austin, Texas, has reached powerhouse status in the supermarket world, known for its attention to natural and organic foods.
With an opening date approaching, Whole Foods has announced the need to fill positions for experienced cooks as part of its food production team. This is a sign they're getting closer to opening the doors.
A recent Facebook post revealed a shot of a computer screen bearing a document that read "Whole Foods Markets announces opening date for Mobile" with a caption over the post saying, "Guess what we've been working on today?" Enough with the teasing, already. Surely the announcement will be released within the week. We'll let you know as soon as we hear the details.
Fresh Market holds grand reopening after renovations
Perhaps Fresh Market is feeling the crunch of an impending opening of Whole Foods, but they say competition is good, right? This past weekend was the grand reopening of Fresh Market on Airport Boulevard, solidifying its reputation as one of the Mobile grocery stores you still want to pay attention to.
The remodeled store has increased its produce section, added a hot pizza bar, a soup and salad bar, and many grab-n-go items from the deli. The new layout and amenities are sure to make your shopping experience more convenient. Fresh Market still has an amazing beer selection and the wine ain't too shabby either. Be sure to grab some coffee from the Fairhope Roasting Company the next time you stop by.
Whistle Stop runs out of steam
It really sneaked under my radar until a reader emailed me asking if the Whistle Stop on Florida Street has closed. First there was a sign on the door that read "Temporarily Closed," then another that simply read "Closed." Social media posts have confirmed that after 17 years of service and one of the last places in Mobile to get a good "normal" breakfast since the Tiny Diny bit the dust, the Whistle Stop has shut its doors for good.
Often overlooked as part of Mobile's cuisine scene, this café would at times be one of the better places to eat in this town. It will be missed, as another Midtown train leaves the station.
Briquettes to open second location
If you happen to be a fan of amazing steaks and char-grilled oysters cooked over pecan and red oak briquettes, then hopefully you have visited Briquettes on Schillinger Road. The sides are amazing and the steaks begin at the affordable top sirloin and do not stop until the almighty porterhouse. I'm partial to the rib-eye.
Those of us who aren't fans of driving that far into West Mobile can rejoice that Briquettes is opening a second location a little closer to town: 901 Montlimar Drive is the future home of Briquettes II. You may recognize it as the former Outback Steakhouse. A social media post conservatively predicted it would be open by the first of the year, but a spokesperson told me via telephone they hope to be in the new digs by early November.
Until then you may grab some meat of your choice at the original location, 720 Schillinger Road. Check for specials on Facebook as they constantly have something going on. An example would be the "Two for Tuesday" where a pair of diners may share an appetizer or dessert with a choice of two entrees from a chef's special menu for $29.99.
Oyster Fest brings local and regional talent
Last issue we told you about the Hangout's Oyster Fest coming up Nov. 6 and 7. Sure, it's loaded with celebrity chefs from Food Network and James Beard Award winning restaurants. But every now and again it's the lesser-known chefs that bring the good stuff to the table. This year's Oyster Fest is ripe with that kind of talent.
Saturday, Nov. 7, we'll be treated to samplings from so many great chefs I've read about and some I've even tried. It's time we get excited about seeing 2014 James Beard Best Chef Midwest finalist Kevin Nashan of Sidney Street Café in St. Louis, Missouri. Matt Bolus comes from 404 Kitchen in Nashville, Tennessee, which was a 2014 James Beard New Restaurant South semifinalist. Four-time James Beard Best Chef South semifinalist Greg Baker represents The Refinery in Tampa, Florida. Another four-time James Beard Best Chef South semifinalist, Derek Emerson of Walker's Drive-In in Jackson, Mississippi, will be one to watch. Author of "Crabs and Oysters," James Beard America's Classic winner Bill Smith hails from Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Chris Kelly and Chris Sherrill of the Flora-Bama will be after the prize as Kelly was the 2014 Oyster Fest Winner. Other Alabama-based chefs include Brody Olive, Eddie Spence, Matthew Pugh and Tres Jackson.
Keep an eye out for these dangerous competitors.
Until then, recycle!

While the best of British sport were being honoured for their achievements during 2016, absent Bradley Wiggins has stirred up controversy with an Instagram post.
Ahead of Dave Brailsford's appearance in front of a panel of MPs, Wiggins has been photoshopped in as Mel Gibson from the 1995 film Braveheart. The picture had the caption 'They can never take my package!!' written over the top of it, a take on a famous line from the film.
The package that Wiggins is referring to is the mystery package that was delivered to Team Sky at the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné.
Courier Simon Cope, who was the British Cycling women's road coach, travelled to the Dauphiné via Geneva airport bearing the package destined for Wiggins' doctor. The flights were booked and paid for by British Cycling. The package was delivered to Richard Freeman. Cope returned to Geneva with Shane Sutton, then a prominent coach at British Cycling and Team Sky.
