Hunger is the World's #1 Health Risk. Every 5 seconds a child dies of hunger and 821 million people go to bed hungry. Often when we hear these stats we think we have just two options: One, donate a little money or food out of guilt. Second, we simply cannot cope with helping anyone else, never mind helping strangers.
- Feel badly for the image of faceless millions of people that we generate in our mind, and maybe feel inspired to donate a little money or food out of guilt.
- Conclude that these problems are too large to deal with, and that with all the struggles we have in our own lives we simply cannot cope with helping anyone else, never mind helping strangers.
However, there is another way to deal with these seeming overwhelming statistics – we can approach the challenge together. And, that can yield great results!
What if a group of young people came together at the same time, and in the same place, and agreed to act in solidarity to help end hunger? At the All Ontario Youth Convention (AOYC) in May 2019 over 1000 teens decided to do just that.
I had just started my student internship with World Renew, leading up to the AYOC youth retreat over the May long weekend. I set up my camera to take a time lapse video of students collecting and stacking nonperishable food items. As seen in the video above, we were working on a visual way to help us see that we were helping "make hunger disappear" for as many people as we could locally.
What inspired me the most was watching the reactions of the teens who gathered, excited as their donations of food for the local food bank grew and grew. Each bag of food that was added made the group of young people take notice and I watched their enthusiasm grow too. As the stack of food increased, so did their awareness of the impact of what their youth community was doing to fight local hunger right there, and right then!
The giving and the caring had an international reach too. On the Saturday afternoon of this weekend retreat, World Renew had the privilege of holding a session called "Jesus and Justice" to a crowded room filled with teenagers interested in learning more about what Jesus has to say about poverty and serving the poor. A donation was taken up to feed Rohingya refugees, and I was moved by the generosity of spirit in these young people – caring for their brothers and sisters living in a refugee camp in Bangladesh.
The following day we had over 40 students give up their free time (a time when they could have gone swimming, played bubble soccer, or just chilled with friends) to help sort boxes of food in preparation for a truck to pick up the donations and take them to the Kitchener/Waterloo food bank. The room quickly turned into a human assembly line of people embracing their role of unpacking, sorting, or repacking. In the photo, you can see the students praying together at the end of their task. With both a local and global heart, these young people decided it was time to change the story.
World Renew is blessed to have the opportunity to work with people from all over the world to help change the statistics around hunger. On the May long weekend, we were blessed to work with this group of caring, involved teens with a heart for God's world and the people in it.
I encourage all who read this blog to know that hunger is an issue that can be addressed. It is not exclusive to one country, religion, or people group. If more of us followed the example of these young people, and cared enough to work together, surely we would be able to make hunger disappear!

"My mom and dad are citizens now, but they were originally immigrants," he says."
Another fifth grader's intentions will come as no surprise to anyone who's known the animal lover for more than five minutes.
"I want to help the humane society," she says. "But first I'm going to ask them what they need the most. Like if they need more dog food, I'll do a big drive for dog food. If they need blankets, I'll do a big drive for that."
These ideas aren't coming out of nowhere. They are the beginnings of culminating projects required for the fifth graders at Seabury School. These fifth graders have been the beneficiaries of Bridges, an innovative program the school introduced this year.
Our downtown middle school was founded on the belief that intellectually advanced students learn and grow most deeply when they are engaged in projects that are relevant, engaging, challenging and meaningful. Hence, the community is our classroom.
Bridges – in its pilot year – takes off on what our middle school has so successfully nurtured. Designed to be a transition from elementary to middle school, Bridges aims to give our fifth graders something that researchers have found missing in education today – civics education that teaches young people how to become vital members of society.
The fifth graders and their teachers take the Seabury bus downtown on Thursdays. With the middle school campus as their base, they head out each week to learn about the people and organizations that make our city and community work.
In the fall, they visited police headquarters, met with a Tacoma city councilman, interviewed the director of Tacoma's farmers markets, toured the bustling Pierce County Election
headquarters just a few days before Nov. 8 – and more.
If you ask the kids which visits made an impression, the answers aren't always what you'd expect.
"The Economic Development Department," a fifth grade girl says. "We found out what kind of buildings they want to build. They want to make a place with apartments for artists to live in and charge them smaller rent. That appeals to me because I'm planning to be an artist and they don't always make a lot of money."
Sometimes, the lessons are exactly what Seabury is going for.
"I see what's going on in the community – and I see I can make a difference," says a fifth grade boy.
As they learn from community leaders, fifth graders get opportunities throughout the year to develop their leadership skills and to become more independent. They run the school store, an enterprise that involves ordering inventory, managing operations and accounting for sales. They mentor younger students throughout the year, helping with STEAM projects, buddy reading and partnering during other classroom activities and field trips.
After winter break, they turned their attentions in the community to nonprofits and community-nonprofit partnerships. Their visits included the Tacoma-Pierce County Humane Society, Multicare, Center for Urban Waters, and they helped out at Tacoma Rescue Mission and FISH Food Bank. They also heard from the director of the YWCA. And last week, Pierce County Council member Connie Ladenburg talked with the students about advocacy.
Now the students will research a nonprofit and create an action plan for a community service project. They will speak to people in the organization they choose to help and those directly impacted by their service project. They will find statistics about the organization and the number who benefit from it. Once they've done the research, they will put together a presentation (video, PowerPoint, Prezi are possibilities) to be presented to the Seabury community – and to people outside of the school, asking for donations. They will present their donations to the organization and write thank you notes to contributors. Then they'll decide if their presentation is something that should be presented to a government official for additional support.
Along with this awesome preparation for becoming successful middle school students, leaders – and citizens, BRIDGES, is integrated into everything else that makes a Seabury education just right for gifted kids. Combined, it's unlike anything bright fifth graders can get anywhere in the state – maybe anywhere, period.
The pilot year has gone so well that we are making Bridges a permanent part of Seabury's curriculum sequence. You can find more information on the Bridges page on our website. You can also email us if you have questions or if you would you like your fourth grader to experience a Thursday downtown with our fifth graders. And note – We are offering additional non need-based financial aid for the 2017-18 Bridges school year!

It is a privilege to work in a business where we are not only part of transformation and change, but where sometimes we are trailing and assessing technologies that will all affect us in the near or distant future. In reality some technologies will change the world! Some already are… Having worked in the motor industry in the past, I may have been responsible for reducing the numbers of horses on the road (stated in jest!). The reality is now that some new innovative and changing technologies will not only make the ubiquitous 4-stroke (petrol and diesel) engine redundant as we see the success of Elon Musks – Tesla (all electric) cars become more affordable to buy and a whole lot cheaper to run due to lower complexity and an lower cost of electric energy costs.
As we see the eco-systems of energy become private and closed or potentially shared through blockchain technology. Locally privately owned micro-grids may flourish and energy costs will be driven down and most energy companies like local government and politicians will become near obsolete. Many of us might be afraid that our jobs will go, in reality many will, however others will also be created. The reality is that those in the creative or complex design and entrepreneurial areas will not only survive but will probably be extremely successful. Organic and micro-farming may become more prevalent as people want to know where their food is produced and will prefer to choose those grown locally and with a low carbon footprint.
The key to the future is to widen ones skills and increase specialising in areas that will support the robot based world of tomorrow, where analytics, lateral approaches to business and the understanding on where humanity adds better value is used to for our advantage. I think other roles such Taxi drivers will also go as shared ownership of autonomous cars, or shared leases within a fleets owned by manufacturers such as Tesla become the norm. Even the Uber world might be short lived!
Below is a link to the top 10 list of likely front office jobs to go and a top 10 safest list.
some jobs will be replaced by machines -- it's the essence of any industrial or technological revolution. The good news is; some jobs won't be strictly replaced -- they just might be adjusted to account for new technologies' "careers." Based on the landmark 2013 study that inspired "Will Robots Take My Job?" we've rounded up some of the marketing and sales roles most likely to be replaced by robots, bots, and AI in the next few years. This study analyzes the likely probability that a job will be replaced by automation and computerization -- based primarily on the level of routine a job has and the specialized training and social intelligence required to complete it. It's not an exhaustive list, but it gives you an idea of what your life could look like in a few years.

TopTenRealEstateDeals – The days of Elvis slouched on a well-worn overstuffed sofa with a plate stacked high with banana sandwiches on his lap are long over for this house that he and Priscilla bought for $400,000 when they were first married in 1967. Located in Trousdale Estates with spectacular views over Los Angeles, fans have been coming for years to write messages to Elvis on the garden gate door set into the front wall. But when Hard Rock Cafe co-founder Peter Morton bought it in early 2013, the rumor was that he would tear it down and build a Beverly Hills super mansion. By November, Burger King made him an offer of $3.69 million. Fitting that at the time, Burger King was about to launch their Big King burger and in the offer to Morton, said they would preserve the house as was. Since Morton paid $9.8 million, it was no surprise that he didn't accept.
During this time the idea that the house might be torn down brought the preservationists and Elvis fans out of the woodwork to launch steady protests. Finally giving up under pressure, Morton held back and just "gave the place a cosmetic makeover both inside and out,†according to "The Real Estalker,†with the intention of renting it for $45,000 a month. But on closer inspection of the before and after photographs, it appears that he just stripped out some of the most charming elements of the house and landscaping, including the focal point spectacular tree arching over the pool-terrace area that was the center point of the view over the city. Morton just sold the property for $14.5 million, realizing a profit of $4.7 million in just one year. No word on what the new corporate buyer will do with the house.
Morton purchased the home for $9.8 million, paying $3.2 million under the asking price. Elvis & Priscilla bought the Trousdale Estates house in 1967 for $400,000. Just flipped to an unnamed corporation for $14.5 million.

Press Release
April 25, 2018
Villar promotes aquaculture as option for food security
Sen. Cynthia A. Villar calls for more people involvement in the rapidly growing fish farming industry as she underscores the significant role it will play in the country's long-term food security goals.
'Aquaculture is the future. It will feed us, especially kapag nagkatotoo ang warning ng experts na by 2050 ay baka virtual deserts na ang ating mga oceans. In the years ahead, lalo pang lalaki ang share ng aquaculture o fish farming sa fish production,' Villar, who is the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Food and Agriculture, said.
Villar urged fisherfolks, farm owners and enthusiasts, and cooperative members to take advantage of the budding enterprise, noting that the country's aquaculture production is now estimated to be worth over $1.58 billion. 'Napakalaki talaga ng potensyal ng pag-nenegosyo at pagiging involved sa aquaculture,' she stressed.
Villar made the remarks at the closing of a 10-day training program on freshwater aquaculture sponsored by the Villar SIPAG in partnership with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, which was held at the Vintahanan floating village in Muntinlupa.
'Very timely ang kaalaman na natutunan ninyo sa aquaculture. I hope what you have learned in terms of new strategies, skills and systems through hands-on training will help improve your way of life by providing you with another source of income. I also hope that it will help farm owners and other farming enthusiasts to expand their businesses,' the lady senator said.
Aside from basic freshwater aquaculture, the 30 participants from the Calabarzon and National Capital Region also had hands-on training Post-Harvest techniques, Ornamental Fish Production, Aquaponics, and Basic Aquascaping.
'Mga kapaki-pakinabang ang mga kaalaman na itinuro sa inyo, lalong-lalo na in terms of technological innovation and technical expertise. Malaki ang maitutulong ng mga iyan sa inyo kung inyong i-aapply at gagamitin ng maayos,' Villar added.
The Vinatahan floating village, which is venue for the training program, was conceptualized in July 2015. The floating houses are designed to float when floodwaters rise.

Benefits for Surgeons
Symbios is actively involved with continuing professional development and medical education of our surgeon partners including hip plan software. By joining us you will have the benefit of accessing specific information and downloads including:
- HipPlan software downloads
- KneePlan software downloads
- CT Examination protocol for the attention of your SI Radiographer
- Operative technique guides
- Published clinical studies
- Continuing professional education (including details of our annual HipPlan user group meeting provisional programme)
HipPlan® – 3D Planning software supports the Symbios Implant Strategy
Our 3D planning software fully supports the company's entire implant strategy for accurate pre- operative planning and reconstruction of the hip joint.
Developed over the past 9 years, involving our resident software engineers, the project has evolved from the vast experience Symbios has gained during the design, manufacture and implantation of over 29,000 custom hip prosthesis since 1989. Many of these cases being complex dysplasias, planned from CT scans. The reported results have been hugely encouraging, Wettstein et Al. reporting 100% survivorship at 94.9 months (CORR 2005), Argenson reporting 93% survivorship at 15 years in patients less than 50 years old (COOR 2009).
Validation of the pre- operative planning process during routine 3D templating pre- operatively (JBJS- Br Vol. 91- B, No 3, March 2009), published over 90% reproducibility, Implant pre- plan vs. Implant actual using post operative CT scans. The software is affordable, transportable across multiple clinical commitments and a real alternative to navigated hip surgery optimising component positioning.
The SPS prosthesis, with Interchangeable neck/ trunion Modularity and modular hard bearings is driving the pace of the software development programme. The SPS implant range offers the surgeon unprecedented choice to accurately and promptly reconstruct the hip joint, minimising joint replacement complications through impingement, dislocation, offset and leg length discrepancies. The SPS modular system captures much of what 'bespoke' implants can offer, but in an affordable and convenient 'off the shelf' offering.
KneePLAN® – Planning software optimising implant positioning in TKR
77,000 TKR's were undertaken in NHS hospitals with a further 36,000 in the Independent sector in the UK in 2016. Through implant design and development, TKR now has reliable results for long term fixation with revision as the end point criteria, but patient disatisfaction and functional outcome following Total Knee Replacement is still at an alarming 20% despite significant growth in numbers of procedures undertaken.
The following captures much of the the phylosophy of Symbios and its approach to optimised component positioning and soft tissue balance, whilst addressing the necessary compromises in joint reconstruction during the pre- operative planning stage.
DICOM images obtained through a low dose CT scan are processed through our KneePLAN software, the reconstructive parameters of the knee are planned and approved by the operating surgeon prior to manufacture of 'Patient Specific Instrumentation', including cutting guides, all through 'materials additive manufacturing', a manufacturing process that has opened the door to customised knee prosthesis design and manufacture. Constitutional varus/ valgus deformity and joint line obliquity can therefor be successfully reconstructed by taking into consideration: 1. reconstitution of the mechanical axis; 2. the patient's native anatomy; 3. kinematic requirements.

Pearl couscous loaded with plump grilled shrimp, smoky, charred corn, summer squash and avocado.When it comes to sitting down and writing a blog post recently, there has been something apparent going on, and it has been weighing on my mind. I don't have anything to talk about other than my new digs, and the place I now call home has been taking over No Spoon Necessary.
I'm not sure if this normal… when you move not only to a new house, or a new city, but to a new state entirely… for it to change every facet of your life. Nothing here is the same as it was back in Florida. I can't help but want to talk about it, and how tranquil this place is. But, I am starting to get annoyed with myself. I DO NOT want to be that person who comes across as having "the white picket fence kind of life". Mostly because, that is NOT reality. Life is not all sunshine, butterflies, and plentiful pots of gold at the end of a continual rainbow. I like to keep it real here.
So, in order to poke fun at myself, I decided to make a list about where I now reside. And to share it with you guys. The title of said list?…"You know you live in the Boonies When…"
*Note: Definition of Boonies – (Noun) Somewhere between the Boondocks and the Cities
- You don't have a mailbox outside of your house. You have a physical address for deliveries and a P.O. Box for lettered mail. This will confuse all of your relatives, friends, anyone and everyone who needs to make contact with you via physical mail… unless they live near you, then they can simply get on their horse and buggy and drop it off themselves.
- People actually pay to have more pine needles dropped on their yard for aesthetic appeal. Green grass is a thing for the Non-North-Carolina-Country-Residing-Bumpkins or Tim McGraw.
- You have the approved pine needles on your lawn, yet you still need to mow the teeny tiny tid bit, almost a half-acre, of grass that is growing.
- You have a septic system. And if you are anything like me this scares the ever living crap (pun intended) out of you. Does this thing have an alarm that sounds when it is full? Will I go to flush one day and the whole tank reverses and floods our house with God only knows what?! Ewww.
- The sound of wasps and mosquitoes are louder than your neighbors.
- You have never actually seen your neighbors, so maybe they don't even exist.
- There is no such thing as rush hour traffic. You start to wonder… does anyone else live here?
- The back roads into town are 55 miles per hour. (#Weeeeeee-eeee) And you might pass like 10 people on each and every trip.
So there you have it. I can check off every single item, therefore I most definitely live in the boonies. Do you?! We could possibly be neighbors and neither of us even know it!
Anyways, that list does not include something I absolutely adore about living here (Sorry, I can't help myself from spewing positivity). The shrimp. OMG, the shrimp. Here in N to the C the shrimp is not only abundant, it is ginormous. Succulent. Plump. Straight up ahhh-mazing. I did not take long to become besties for life with the NC shrimpers. (<– Does that count as human interaction?)
Naturally, I had to cook something with my new found friends… I mean, I did already purchase those halfhearted, "Be Fri" and "Est Ends", necklaces for us! I certainly hope my shelled and veined friends feel like I did them justice with today's dish – Shrimp, Corn and Summer Squash Pearl Couscous Salad.
I may be bias, but this couscous certainly tantalized my taste buds. It is creamy, rich, jam pony'ed with fresh produce and fabulous flavor; yet light and healthy. This dish is my ode to summer…and to my beloved Carolina Shrimp.
The shrimp are moist, juicy and skewer grilled to tender perfection. This is due to my discovery of a method over at Serious Eats. The shrimp first take a bath in a salt and baking soda mixture, before being suspended and slightly air dried in the refrigerator, and then packed onto a pair of skewers. The result? Perfectly plump and charred shrimp that explode with a pop of sweet, succulent flavor. I don't even highly recommend you try this method… I (kindly?) demand it. 🙂
While you could just accordingly grill my buddies, Mr and Mrs. Crustacean, and devour them plain… then you would miss out on all the scrumptious summa' lovin' in the form of the veggie packed couscous. And I know you don't want to miss out on that!
The pearl couscous salad is supa' dreamy and loaded to the gills with bites of smoky grilled corn, fresh and finely grated sweet squash, bits of roasted red pepper, chunks of creamy avocado, and speckled with loads of herbaceous dill and parsley. Then it is finished with a tangy, silky smooth olive oil based dressing. When everything gets lovingly tossed together, this dish becomes a symphony of stellar scrumptious flavor. Essentially, it becomes everything you want in your summer-tastic life.
While the list of ingredients for this salad may seem long, the actually process of whipping this dish together is quite easy. But, don't take my word for it! You must try this one out for yourself! Until next time – make besties with your shrimp, toss this dish together, and celebrate what remains of summer! Cheers!

- 2 ½ Cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Unsalted Butter
- Salad:
- 2 Ears of Corn – husk and silk removed
- 2 tsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 Large Summer Squash – grated* (yield about 3 cups)
- 1 Roasted Red Pepper – small diced* (yield about ¾ cup)
- ¼ Red Onion – finely diced (yield about ½ cup)
- 3 large Green Onions – green and white parts, thinly sliced
- 2 Cloves Garlic – minced
- Dressing:
- 4 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 TBS Ground Cumin
- 1 Lemon – juice and zest (about 2 TBS juice and 2 tsp zest)
- 2 TBS White Wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
- 2 tsp Honey
- ½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt , plus more to taste
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper , to taste

- 1 Avocado – diced
- 1/3 Cup Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley – roughly chopped
- 1/3 Cup Fresh Dill – roughly chopped
- ¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese – freshly shaved, or more to taste
- Kosher Salt and Pepper , to taste
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, baking soda, salt and sugar. Toss to coat. Thread the shrimp onto sets of 2 skewers, rotating heads to tails and threading the shrimp so they are snuggly pushed together. Each set of 2 skewers should fit about 6 shrimp. (Check out this link) Transfer the shrimp skewers on top of a baking dish so they are suspended above the bottom of the dish. Place, uncovered, in the refrigerator and allow the shrimp to rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 ½ tablespoons of oil with garlic, cumin and chili powder. In a separate bowl combine remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of oil with the lemon juice. Set both aside.
- Prepare the Couscous: Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous, salt and butter. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the squash. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red bell pepper, red onion, scallions and garlic. Stir to combine. Add the cooled couscous & squash. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, zest, white wine, honey and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk well. Pour over the vegetables and couscous. Toss thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Grill the Shrimp & Corn: When hour is up, heat grill to high.
- For the Corn: Grill corn, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat to a clean work surface. Brush with butter and season with salt and pepper and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove kernels from cob using a serrated knife. Add to the salad.
- For the Shrimp: Brush both sides of the shrimp with the garlic and oil mixture. Grill shrimp, turning occasionally, until cooked through (to internal temperature of 140 degrees – shrimp will continue to cook when you remove them) about 4-5 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a clean work surface and remove from skewers. Toss the shrimp in the oil and lemon mixture to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish the Salad: Add the shrimp, avocado, fresh herbs, and parmesan to the salad. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
*I used the large holes of a box grater to grate the summer squash
*I used a jarred roasted red pepper.

Hi Guys,
I have 7,000 clients that are configured to connect to the relays manually but still they are connecting to the Bigfix Server in the process. I tried to configure it to manual again but the status are not relevant.
The Highlighted in yellow is the root server and the others are relays.
Please Help. Thank you
Best Regads,
Sounds like you might have a communication issue (Firewall not allowing TCP/52311 from the Endpoint to the Relay, and UDP/52311 from the Relay to the Endpoint)
Hi Tim,
Hmm sounds great.
Is there a way for us to know that it is blocked?
Our firewall team here is always saying that it isn't block.
From one of the endpoints can you access the Relay Diagnostics page (assuming you haven't turned them off)?

2016 Roundup: These Bollywood films were better than the best!
'Kahaani 2'
This Sujoy Ghosh-directorial starring Vidya Balan failed to make a mark at the box office, the way its first instalment had done. However, one cannot ignore the fact that it is one of the best films of the year. It is one of the best films made on child abuse, and Vidya's performance truly deserves accolades.
'Dear Zindagi'
Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Dear Zindagi' taught us how to be happy in our lives, even if we go through a bad phase. Gauri Shinde truly deserves a standing ovation for the way she narrated the film.
'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story'
'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' starring Sushant Singh Rajput, was a biopic on the Indian cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The film was a treat for the cricketer's fans, and Neeraj Pandey managed quite well to feature his life on the silver screen.
Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 'PINK' was simply outstanding. The film tackled the issue of molestation, slut shaming and moral policing. Big B, Taapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari's performances were the highlight of the film.
After 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Salman Khan once again impressed us with 'Sultan'. The film has a perfect combination of content and entertainment. And Salman and Anushka Sharma's amazing performances made the film worth a watch.
'Nil Battey Sannata'
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's 'Nil Battey Sannata' starring Swara Bhaskar was the sweetest film. The movie had strong content and was also quite entertaining. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a hit at the box office.
'Kapoor & Sons'
One of the most relatable films of the year was 'Kapoor & Sons'. It tackled a lot of relevant issues very subtly. Shakun Batra's directorial was loved by everyone.
Based on the life of flight attendant Neerja Bhanot, 'Neerja' starring Sonam Kapoor was an exceptional film. The movie was set in the 80s, and the detailing about Neerja's life and the era was simply outstanding. This is surely one of the best biopics ever made.
We have always seen that people save the best for the last, and that has happened in 2016 in Bollywood as well. There are no two opinions that Aamir Khan-starrer 'Dangal' is THE best film of 2016. The critics have praised it and it has also taken the box office by storm.

New R6 Siege Coach
Six people are required to win in Rainbow Six Siege. A team can achieve nothing without an experienced coach.
Let us introduce the coach of the CrowCrowd R6 Siege roster:
Alexander "MeDVeD" Kozlov
And instead of a boring comment, we decided to take an entire interview! Short and interesting.
> Tell us a little about yourself and how did you come to esports?
It won't be short, but I'll try.
I am 25, have been called a Bear for a little over than 20 years. I got acquainted with esports in a computer club, where at 10-12 we played amateur tournaments in CS 1.6 almost for a box of soda. For a long time, I was a common spectator, but my friends pushed me into streaming, and then I began to comment on things.
I was a caster on the first Siege tournaments when there still was Xbox League, but for several reasons, I was disappointed in it. Then I was dragged to the League of Legends, where I commented on tournaments of different levels and, by the way, also covered the CrowCrowd matches. I couldn't stand the competition in League of Legends - and here I am again in R6 Siege.
> Why exactly R6 Siege? What distinguishes the game from other multiplayer FPS and attracts you specifically?
I always got along on tactical games, but strategies in the usual sense (Warcraft, StarCraft, etc.) were too difficult for me. Plus always attracted to team play. I got acquainted with the Rainbow Six game series back in 2005 by playing Lockdown.
Siege from the very beginning hinted at realism (albeit with conventions), it contains unique mechanics. And if fighting in enclosed space may not surprise you, then the preparation phase, the map destructibility and the abundance of devices that counter-play each other will certainly surprise you... This is a shooter with a wildest enormous entry threshold - you need to keep a thousand details and subtleties in mind. Not just shoot a lot, but also think a lot.
> Do you manage to find spare time to play yourself? And if so, at what rank?
Sad but not these times - working with the team and the other stuff takes almost all of my free time. In the ranked, I play it "hard" only in the first seasons. Then the lack of anti-cheat and the abundance of cheaters driven me off. Over the past three years, God forbid, I played 400~ matches, which is an extremely small number. However, this didn't stop me from mastering the professional level in the form of a caster and analyst, because the competitive scene and ranked games are two completely different universes. And so, my maximum rank: Platinum III.
> Is it difficult to be a coach? What do you do? How do you spend your usual working day?
Any activity is difficult. In my opinion, if something comes easy for you, maybe you are doing it wrong.
On a daily basis, I try to look at several matches of potential opponents a day and study their approaches to the game, looking for vulnerabilities. We interact with the team remotely, so sometimes during practice, I watch the games from several monitors, analyzing the situation and trying to make corrections.
> What short phrase can perfectly describe the composition of CrowCrowd by R6 Siege?
The previous team tag did a great job: "DED Inside"!
> What are the strengths and weaknesses of the composition?
The guys are young and hot, which sometimes doesn't affect their game in the best way. But they have more than enough will to grow professionally. In addition, experienced players in terms of the pro scene also play in the team, which only strengthens it.
> What are your thoughts on the upcoming LAN Finals? Reading to sweat and taking towels?
If we consider the dry numbers, it'll be very difficult for us. We'll play against the teams, whose rosters play with no changes for at least six months, or even more. But even the fact that our first opponent according to Siege.GG is the top 1 team in the world will not break our spirits. We will fight to the last, this I promise you.
> In what light do you see the esports future of R6 Siege?
Over the past couple of years, the game has grown. Let it not be as fast as we would like, but Moscow wasn't built immediately, too, as they say. By the standards of Tier 1 disciplines, Siege is still very young: League of Legends celebrated 10 years this year, Dota has been around since 2003, and CS has been a hundred years old at lunch. With proper support from the company and proper management, R6 Siege has a very good future. Don't forget that this is the first serious attempt by Ubisoft to hit esports.
> What would you like to convey to our readers? From the very heart :D
Of course, I want to say thank you for reading it to the end. I hope that after this interview the questions like "Are you still with the team?", "Did you get kicked?" will disappear. Guys, I'm here, everything's in order.
But in general, I have great hopes that fans of the organization will appreciate the discipline and fall in love with Rainbow Six Siege just as I once fell in love with it. Cheer! Be sure to come to support us at the Russian Major League LAN Finals on the 23rd and 24th of November!

Reviews that mention Ernest Dawkins
May 9, 2014
Greg Ward
By Ken Waxman
Back in the heyday of vaudeville, answering affirmatively the question "Will It Play in Peoria?" meant that if an act could impress the audience in that small Illinois town, it was good enough to work nationwide. Ironically enough alto saxophonist Greg Ward embodies that maxim. Before moving to NYC, after maturing his career in Chicago, Ward, 31, spent his teenage years playing every gig he could in his home town of Peoria.
"At that time between Peoria and Chicago there was lots of work for a young player, which was very important," the saxophonist, explains. Today he's still kept busy gigging in larger centres, but he doesn't deny his roots or early associations. On May 16 and 17 at the Jazz Gallery, a septet will premiere his series of composition honoring the 70th birthday of one of his long-time mentors, Preston Jackson. Jackson who is professor emeritus of sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago's school, as well as a semi-professional guitarist, first played with Ward when the latter was 14. That was three years after Ward had made up his mind to become a musician, despite family pressure to become a doctor. That too was ironic, since both his father and uncle were professional gospel musicians and Ward had been singing gospel music as a three-year-old and studying violin from the age of nine. By the fifth grade he began playing alto saxophone using his father's old Conn. MORE

Velvet Songs: To Baba Fred Anderson
Rogueart ROG-0030
A tribute disc without including any of the dedicatee's music, this two-CD set was actually recorded almost two years before the death of Chicago tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson in 2010. But these uncompromising, heart-felt performances captured at the Velvet Lounge, the south-side club Anderson ran for many decades, are more meaningful tributes to the musician and his abiding influence than any lachrymose song recreation.
That's because, before a late career re-discovery in the 1990s that saw Anderson record dozens of CDs before his death, he was best-known as a club owner – the Birdhouse was his previous venue – and a bandleader who encouraged young talent and gave experimental musicians, mostly, but not exclusively from, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, a regular place to play. Each of the Chicago Trio members benefitted from Anderson's counsel in different ways. Now in-demand for a multitude of gigs in Europe and North America, Hamid Drake was a teenage percussionist given his first professional experience in Anderson's band. Bassist and cellist Harrison Bankhead, a confrere of the tenor saxophonist in Anderson's later bands, also worked with other committed improvisers like flautist Nicolle Mitchell and trumpeter Malachi Thompson. Meanwhile Ernest Dawkins, who plays soprano, alto and tenor saxophones plus percussion here played his first gig at the Birdhouse and often played with his New Horizons band at the Velvet Lounge.

Kahil El'Zabar's Infinity Orchestra
Delmark DE 576
Groove is the one word you associate with most of the endeavors of Kahil El'Zabar. Yet while the Chicago-based percussionist has had past experience playing R&B and African music, his rhythmic mobilization is overt, but never simplistic. That's because as a long-time member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), he has also absorbed the concepts of such cerebral thinkers as pianist Muhal Richard Abrams. Taken in their entirety therefore, the sounds of El'Zabar's many bands meld elements of both impulses. What results is a POMO variation that unites the sacred and the secular, a concept which has long characterized Black Vernacular Music. MORE

RogueArt ROG-0001
With the ensemble and the CD entitled Bindu, an Indian concept that signifies action as in worship or prayer, you know that this almost 75-minute, eight-track CD is not going to be a standard blowing session.
A further look at the personnel confirms this. Leader Hamid Drake plays drums, percussion and tabla, while the other participants are four saxophonists Daniel Carter and Sabir Mateen from New York; and Greg Ward and Ernest Dawkins from Chicago plus Windy City flautist Nicole Mitchell. The reason why the CD is not wholly satisfying however is that the date is segmented: harder, fast-paced riff pieces featuring the reed players and two devotional pieces, the lengthiest of the set.

Misconceptions of a Delusion, Shades of a Charade
Dawk Music Release #04
Designed as a celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the Chicago Seven trial, this nearly 80-minute slice of agitprop avant-garde is as much forward looking as backwards glancing.
Recorded live in Paris in early 2004, the narration voiced by disco poet Khari B. recalls the repressed radical anti-war and anti-racist sentiments of the late 1960s, which strike a responsive chord in an audience familiar with similar situations involving the Iraq War. At the same time, composer Ernest Dawkins, who directs but doesnt play in the 12-piece band, uses this expanded version of his usual quintet to show off some of Chicagos emerging improvising talents. Considering the AACM, with which all the musicians here are affiliated, was also established in the mid-1960s, the link seems appropriate and apt. MORE

Sirius Calling

An organizations influence is reflected in how well it continues to evolve after it becomes old enough to become established. So it is with the Association for the Advancement of Creative Music. Heading into its fifth decade, its membership has dispersed away from Chicago -- though the majority of AACMers, young and old, continue to reside in the Windy City -- and some of its more prominent members are starting to die.

Cape Town Shuffle
Delmark DG-545
Rollicking as only a live date by saxophonist Ernest Dawkins ensemble could be, the happy grooves established by the five Chicago musicians here are tempered by an incident that happened six months later. Trumpeter Ameen Muhammad, Dawkins closest confrere, who had been part of the New Horizons Ensemble from its beginnings, died at 48 in February, of apparent heart failure.
Luckily there are plenty of examples of Muhammads literally larger-than-life character on the four long tracks that make up CAPE TOWN SHUFFLE. What the audience at Hothouse saw in August 2002, and we hear on the disc is a portrait of a broad-chested brassman who had the power to twist his trumpet lines every which way to do his bidding, whether he was playing the blues or exploring the stratosphere.

January 1, 2001
Jo'burg Jump
Delmark DE-524
Although many jazzers pay lip service to African influences, very few have actually experienced the music of Africa on that continent. Saxophonist and bandleader Ernest Dawkins is one of that small number, having jammed with musicians both in South Africa and Mozambique.
Significantly though, this CD is so convincing because of more than Dawkins' on-site anthropology -- the discipline, not the Charlie Parker tune. JO'BURG JUMP is a joy because the New Horizons Ensemble know one another so well, having been together in one form or another since 1978. Plus, as members in good standing of Chicago's Association for the Creative Musicians, the musicians can produce riffs that draw as much from that city's polyglot South Side as South Africa and create Jump Jazz from Joliet, Ill. as easily as Jump Ups from Johannesburg, South Transvaal.MORE

Scenic IV Hybrid Assist – R-Link 2 upgrade from 3.x to 7.x or better?
first of all excuse my bad english, I'm from Italy.
I've a Scenic IV – Bose – Hybrid Assist of November 2017 with R-Link version 188.8.131.526 and, for several problems encountered occasionally (bluetooth disconnecting, black screens, very low volume) I wish I could upgrade it to, at least, version 7.x or later.
I went to two different car workshops (official Renault) in my town but, even by contacting Renault Italy, it seems there is no such possibility. It seems strange to me because, other Italian users, have received the update from 3.x to 7.x or even to 8.x and another user, with my same engine (mild hybrid), already has the 7.x Obviously the official updates on the Renault site have already been done, but I never exceed the 220.127.116.116.
Whether you know, is there any hope of being able to update it? Some users have said that there should be this possibility from January, for everyone, to upgrade…do you know if it's true?
Thanks to everyone who can help me!

The final book in A Darcy Christmas: a Holiday Tribute to Jane Austen. The chapters recount various Christmases for Darcy and Elizabeth. Some are joyous, some are sad.
Truth be told, of the three books, this one was my least liked. It was a good read, but you would have to draw up a family tree just to keep track of who was whose child. It did get pretty confusing. I don't think I would re-read it. But I will recommend for a one-time read.

Roger Waters Guitar Legend Dave Kilminster Releases Long Awaited New Solo Album
Guitar virtuoso David Kilminster, best known for his work with Roger Waters and Keith Emerson, is preparing to release an exciting new rock album titled '...and THE TRUTH will set you free...'! This incredible project sees Dave reunited with drummer Pete Riley and bassist Phil Williams who toured with Dave as part of the Keith Emerson Band, and also recorded with Dave on his first solo rock album 'Scarlet - The Director's Cut'.Says Dave about his new CD, "I returned from THE WALL tour, both exhausted and exhilarated, and ready to direct all of that inspiration, passion and creativity into a new project. A year later, I held the master for this album in my hand... knowing it's undoubtedly the best solo work I've ever done..." For the last eight years Dave was the featured lead guitarist with ROGER WATERS, joining Roger on his last two record breaking world tours; 'THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON LIVE', and (the highest grossing tour by a solo act EVER) 'THE WALL LIVE'! Critics agree that David Kilminster is one of the most extraordinary talents to emerge from the UK. He is a sought after collaborator, band member and solo performer. After touring and collaborating a number of years with ELP legend Keith Emerson, fans will also know Dave from his work along side luminaries John Wetton, Carl Palmer, Geoff Downes, Guthrie Govan and John Young, among others. Dave has released a series of instructional DVDs for Lick Library after the success of his global satellite series 'Killer Guitar'. Dave also won the inaugural 'Guitarist of the Year' competition, run by Guitarist magazine.

Sunday's Flowers begin their work
Early in the morning as they put out
The week's tormented trash groaning
With grouses and grey, greasy puddings
Of penance over silly shopping and too
much Netflix! And not enough walking!
Not enough gardening! They nudge you
Into that book on dreams waiting to
Enlighten you about your newest
Choice or mad mistake, and then they
Insist you fill up five rose engraved
Pages of your journal of fresh renewal!

No SuperUltraMega comic this week, as I am bringing something new; it as called "Task Attack",
which is part of my "Team Attack" series. Since the full, multi-page stories are taking so long
to complete(like a year. In fact, I am still working on the next one.), I decided to try making
a much shorter story that would fit on a single page and just take approximately a week to make.
This way I can continue sharing Team Attack without having to wait so long. It can also be a great
way to use ideas for stories that may not be long enough for the books, along with using my "what
would they do in that situation" ideas. The first one was rather fun to do and feels like these
will serve the intended purpose. I hope you enjoy them too!

The 6th Annual Team Jack Gala
The 6th Annual Team Jack Gala
Some Husker greats from all around the NFL and come came out to raise awareness for pediatric brain cancer.
At the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln, it was the 6th annual Team Jack Gala. For the former Huskers who have been a part of this foundation from the start, it's great to see this event grow throughout the years and gain recognition throughout the NFL.
"I've played on five different NFL teams and I mention Team Jack and someone's like 'oh yea that's with that kid that ran in the spring game' like so it's turned into a nation wide thing that I know there's guys that I play with now in Buffalo, I play with in Carolina, Minnesota they all know part of it and just watching it grow watching the awareness for this terrible disease continue to grow is one of the coolest things," Jeremiah Sirles former Husker said.
At the Team Jack Gala, there was a silent auction that featured autographed memorabilia from former Huskers and even some NFL Hall of Farmers. With all of the donations going toward the Team Jack foundation in an effort to reach their six million dollar goal.
"The dollars that are utilized tonight are very real dollars that are going to be put to use put to very good use in terms of funding research for child brain cancer and so it's important for so many reason not just awareness but also actually raising money that's going to be used in the direct fight against pediatric brain cancer which is the leading childhood cancer cause of death in this country," Andy Hoffman Jack Hoffman's Father said.
For former Huskers coming back to see Jack Hoffman and other kids fighting cancer is truly inspirational.
While the foundations goal is to raise money and awareness, they say their ultimate goal to beat pediatric brain cancer.
"I hope someday we put it out of business and we can put it out of business when we find a cure for pediatric brain cancer. I don't want Team jack to be in business forever. I want it to be in business long enough to find a cure for the leading childhood cancer cause of death," Hoffman said.

Trip Overview
This post is an addition to the other report on Blackwater Creek located here:
This stream seems to have new dead fall every trip you make. Be prepared for an amazing amount of time spent pulling over or hacking through.
At very low levels, it may be impassable.
Putting in as described in the previous post, one may head upstream and find the way reasonably clear (most of the time) to Lake Norris.

Christmas is a funny time for pastors. It is the beginning of a story that will end in trouble and then begin again in mystery. It is a time saturated with tradition, with expectations met and unmet, with emotions named and unnameable. And it is a work day. Here are my sermons from both our Christmas Eve service, which is highly traditional and never changes, and from our Christmas Day service, which is very casual and communal.
Christmas Eve 2019: Arriving Where We Always Are
Delivered at Ames UCC
©The Rev. Eileen Gebbie
We did it! We have arrived!
Four Sundays ago, John the Baptist and Amos and Peter and Malachi and Mary and Isaiah and Ezekiel and Esther, prophets from the Hebrew Bible and Christian testament both, as well as the authors of hymns sung each week told us to be ready, be ready, be ready, prepare ye the way, and we did and now here we are.
But where are we?
As Christians, Christ-ians, as a people with a scriptural tradition, worship is a time of spiritual imagination. In our daily devotionals and each week here we step back in our understanding of time, or maybe step through to God's more eternal, cyclical, overlapping time, to be with our forebears and ancestors.
Through these poems, hymns, myths, and histories, we try to learn about their historical and cultural context to understand why they did what they did, from exodus to exile, from river baptism to open table. We try to smell what they smelled, walk where they walked, and listen as they listened. We ask if what is recorded tells us a truth about their time or a Truth for all times.
And if the Christmas stories tell us any truth, it is that we cannot ever be ready for an encounter with God.
Consider Zechariah, spouse to Mary's cousin Elizabeth.
Both Zechariah and Elizabeth are old enough that no one expects Elizabeth can get pregnant any longer. They are going about their lives when, while at work in the temple one day, there appears to Zechariah an angel of God. You might think Zechariah, of all people, would be ready for a heavenly messenger, but the story says he is terrified, he is overwhelmed by fear.
Next, we have Mary herself. The angel Gabriel appears to her with the words, "Greetings…do not be afraid." Mary, a young person and not a priest, must be made of stronger stuff than Zechariah because the story says that rather than being scared, she is "much perplexed." Maybe that is code for baffled, itself a state of confusion, and not a prepared readiness.
Lastly, we have the shepherds of tonight. There they are under the stars at night, when they receive not just one angel of God, but a whole heavenly host. Their terror is noted, as well as the lead angel's effort to assure them. The arrival of angels is always going to be startling scary, and not a time of practiced clarity.
Whatever our prophets may say about being ready to receive God, then, at this most critical moment in the Christian testament, we see that no one is.
And that is OK.
There is no judgment cast on Zechariah, Mary, or the shepherds. Which maybe tells us that it isn't all of that prophetic preparation-talk that we need but angelic present-talk.
Consider your own life and how much time you spend in preparation.
Preparation for school, preparation for a career, preparation for work, preparation for the week's meals (if we are lucky enough to be able to eat a week of meals). And once we have prepared and arrived in those spaces—school, work, dinner—how much of our mental energy switches to the next place or task we much prepare for?
The Christmas story, however, story makes us stop. This story makes us stop preparing and just be, be in the moment, in every moment, with the divine. Because God is not out there. God is not in a faraway space, at any remove from us. At work, like Zechariah, we are with the divine. At home, like Mary, we are with the divine. Outside, like the shepherds, we are with the divine.
God is, the stories of Jesus claim, incarnate, tangible, touchable, vulnerable. And here. And because God is here, the angels tell us we need not be afraid.
No matter the vagaries of empires or the availability of housing or the drudgery of work, we need not be afraid. In our lives, in our ordinary, everyday, constantly preparing yet never prepared lives, we need not be afraid.
Where we have arrived at tonight is where we are at every moment: with God.
Lives in which we come together in an old room made warm by rich woods, glowing lights, and good will. An old room filled by people drawn to a small infant—and to the ministry that infant will grow into and the mystery the adult will draw us all toward.
Do not be afraid.
For on this night it is not an angel, but a group of humble humans bring good tidings of great joy: in our everyday lives God is birthing possibilities gorgeous, joyous, and hopeful.
Christmas Day 2019: Baby Love
Delivered at Ames UCC
©The Rev. Eileen Gebbie
How many of you have lived with a newborn? What was that like? Be honest.
Years ago I was a nanny for a friend who was in medical school. I lived with her and her three children aged 11 through 19. Highlights from that time include no one ever doing the dishes, everyone complaining about what I cooked, and a super fun night when all three of them, independently of each other, got drunk.
Now, I went into this gig loving these children. I had known them for a couple of years and thought they were funny, smart, and kind. I didn't really appreciate, though, that they were also going through phases of rapid change, major stress, and creative experimentation.
One day, after giving their mom/my friend an update, a rather aggrieved update in response to which I thought she was insufficiently distraught, she told me this: Infancy is the time when parents and guardians store up enough love to survive the later years.
The love a little baby inspires, in most cases and in spite of all the poop and screaming, sees parents and guardians through the years of bad romantic choices, drugs, going broke, dropping out of high school, choosing a weird college major, getting into credit card debt, and the lifelong criticism of their parenting they can expect.
This isn't true for every parent, of course. Some parents do not feel that love. Some parents do but still cannot care for their children. There are few universal truths when it comes to human relations. But for my friend, baby love was a well deep and sustaining.
I think it must have been for Mary, too.
We don't hear from Joseph after Jesus' birth but Mary remains a central figure in Jesus' life and his death. Mary travels with Jesus on his journeys, one of the group of people who made his efforts possible with food, shelter, and protection when the crowds got too big.
But it wasn't easy for her. At one point Jesus says
Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.Luke 14.26
Ouch. Thanks, kid.
Then there is the end, a bitter, bitter, end. The beginning we mark today is always tied to the end we attend to on Good Friday. And it is Mary who stayed by Jesus in his hour of greatest suffering and need, fearless in her devastation, alone except for some of the other women.
Then there is the end, a bitter, bitter, end. The beginning we mark today is always tied to the end we attend to on Good Friday. And it is Mary who stayed by Jesus in his hour of greatest suffering and need, fearless in her devastation, alone except for some of the other women.
Whatever Mary's love of God, and the hymn at learning of her pregnancy says she had a lot, I think it must have been that baby love that got her through. It wasn't gifts from strangers, like the Magi of today, that made the declarations of kings and empires manageable. It was baby love that allowed her to let her child be who he must even though it cost her everything.
And that is the invitation to us.
The Christmas story isn't included in all of the gospels, so I wonder if those that did knew something about the human heart. Maybe they knew that in order to be bold enough to go out and be fishers of people, to risk the aspersions of neighbors and crosses of empires, we would need a little baby love, too.
Because when we remember that Jesus the adult was first Jesus the infant, we remember that he did not come into the world fully ready to upend injustice and call for beloved community.
Jesus had to learn to walk before he could teach us to walk with him.
Which means that we can learn to do just that, to the river and to the table and to the cross and beyond. But let's stay in the baby love for now.
Soak up today this celebration of a love willing to be vulnerable, a love needing our care. Soak up this astonishing testimony to God's complete solidarity with the human existence. Let the baby love my friend and Mary knew fill your heart today, for then you know God's heart of love for YOU.

Are you tired of hearing about it yet? We first blogged about the fiscal cliff 233 days ago (reprinted verbatim below) and unfortunately, continued political dysfunction, which we correctly cited as a key risk, has prevented any resolution. We continue to remain hopeful that a last minute compromise will occur but that hope is waning as each day passes.
Originally posted by Payne Wealth Partners on April 25, 2012
It is looming!!! In his recent congressional testimony, Fed Chairman Bernanke stated, "Under current law, on January 1, 2013, there's going to be a massive fiscal cliff of large spending cuts and tax increases." This is the date when the Bush-era tax cuts, the temporary payroll tax cut and extended unemployment benefits are all due to expire. To make matters worse - since the Congressional Super-Committee failed to reach consensus last year on reducing government spending we will also see $1.2 trillion of automatic spending cuts begin on the same date. Combining tax increases with spending cuts could push our economy back into recession. It is anticipated that economic output would be reduced by 3.5% next year if all these things come to pass.
We remain hopeful that a more thoughtful approach is taken regarding spending and tax cuts by Congress and the President prior to meeting the fiscal cliff Chairman Bernanke speaks of. However, the risk of policy errors and continued political dysfunction, particularly in an election year, remains very high. We will continue to monitor these issues closely as the year progresses.

Professor Sablinsky was my dissertation advisor at the University of Virginia, and I either worked with him as a teaching assistant or grader, took one of his classes or did odd jobs for him just about every year that I was in graduate school.
Sablinsky taught the very popular HIS 244, History of Russia I (to 1917), which usually enrolled 250 to 300 students. That meant that Sablinsky did the large lectures twice a week and then the teaching assistants met with students once a week. We always had a great crew of teaching assistants: Andrew Wise, Meg Trott, Ilicia Sprey, Colum Leckey, Tim Dowling, Barry Cushman, and others. Students loved the Sablinsky lectures, which were always very entertaining, and given in a kind of story-telling manner. The experience was made better, and more realistic, by Sablinsky's Russian accent. What I always found interesting was that students always seemed to be fascinated by the different belt buckles that Sablinsky wore. You don't know how many times a student would ask me about such and such a buckle. He was a very good lecturer in front of a such a large class.
Sablinsky's office was in Levering Hall, upstairs, and it was filled with all kinds of Russian objects (and of course a lot of books). It was extremely interesting to sit in there, and it was always a good time when a few of us would gather up there to discuss something. While I was at UVa, Sablinsky took charge of the Russian Center and revived it. He moved it to new, more spacious digs in Levering Hall, hired staff, expanded its funding and helped to get the center back on its feet.
I did a lot of odd jobs for Sablinsky over the years to earn some extra money. For example, I painted the walls of the new Russian center when it moved. I cleaned out gutters at his house. I cut grass. I painted. For years, we struggled trying to get rid of a giant bamboo forest that had encroached upon his yard. That was especially nasty business. We would cut and hack away and then take bamboo to the landfill in my pickup truck. I also worked on rebuilding one of his bathrooms. Then there was the chimney incident. Sablinsky decided that we needed to fix the cap on his chimney so that it would not leak. We got up on the roof--only one story up--and started smashing away at the concrete up there to remove it so that we could lay down some new concrete. I ended up smashing my thumb with the sledge hammer at full force, which caused an awful lot of pain, but we got the chimney fixed.
Whatever the job, yard work, the bamboo, painting, hauling, etc, Sablinsky always could find something for me to do. He was very generous and always paid me well, but he was not excessive in his work requirements. He liked to relax and always offered a beer. Once--and I know that this was not the only time--he took a bunch of us down to one of the pizza places on the corner and bought us beer and pizza--he insisted on anchovies--to watch the ACC basketball tournament. We tended to call him Uncle Vanya amongst ourselves.
Well, he was my dissertation advisor, and as anyone who has graduated with a history Ph.D. can attest, that process is never a smooth one, and in my case we got it done somehow. I worked closely with the three history faculty on my committee, Sablinsky, Hammond and Schmitt, because I knew--I was absolutely sure--that anyone of them could stop my dissertation at any time if they felt that it was not up to snuff. I was very happy when it was done with only some minor adjustments that had to be made in my conclusions.
Sablinsky only really published one book in his career, but what an outstanding book it was, on Bloody Sunday (see below). There is nothing that even comes close to the work and research he did on that topic. He had worked with the Columbia University White Russian émigré project so he really knew these old Russian revolutionaries. And since he was Russian, he really had an understanding of what had happened. Plus the book reads well, just as if he was lecturing on the subject, telling the story of what happened.
He was truly a great guy and a lot of fun to be around and work with. I would not have gotten through grad school without his support. Two last things that I should mention. (1) He was at one time an outstanding soccer player when he was much younger. (2) He had these two Welsh corgi dogs (one was named Beaky; can't remember the other one) that were really great.

On Today's Christian Car Guy Show we are playing "Guess My Dream Car" with a Thanksgiving twist. Where would you take your dream car and who would you bring along on the Ultimate Thanksgiving Adventure. Since we are dreaming, let's dream big, God didn't sit with Adam in the cool of the day, they walked, traveled together, Elijah didn't go up to heaven in a "Lazy Boy", he went up in a Chariot of FIRE!! No doubt his dream car.
So Jerry Mathis and I will attempt to guess your dream car in 10 "yes or no" questions, then you tell us where and with whom your ultimate Thanksgiving adventure would take you. You call 866-348-7884 and play and if you stump us you get a book from the Christian Car Guy prize vault everyone will win a dream car certificate with your dream car pictured. You can even turn the tables on Jerry and I and attempt to guess our Ultimate Thanks Giving Dream Car in 10 guesses.
When I was praying on Wednesday my daily prayer as outlined a few shows ago I asked for my word of the day and God said, "Dream"…WOW! When God says dream how fun is that? So I dreamed and prayed all day, I thought of so many dreams, but when it came down to it my favorite dreams involved relationships and even better going on adventures with those people closest to me, God adventures big ones where we get to see God do great things bringing freedom to the captives as I saw last weekend at our Masculine Journey Boot Camp. How fun is that?
I believe God knows our dreams better than we do and he wants to see us realize those dreams like Thoreau said, "Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake". What parent doesn't love to see their child realize their grandest dreams. Listen to 1 Peter 5:11 in the Message
"So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does."
So you may be wondering what did God give me as my word for the day on the next day, Thursday. WOW, he said, Robby, dream bigger… What? Dream bigger, how can I do that, a little bit of prayer and I saw it the biggest dream of all, Our Union, yes God and me never separate always together every minute every second.
That's what our enemy is after every moment he wants to get us separated from our Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That's why I believe we are told in Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Guard your dreams, your enemy would love to take them from you. Separated from your dreams is to be separated from the one who gave them to you, didn't He?
