text: The latest blend of cooking and technology may have gone too far. Scientists and industry body Meat and Livestock Australia has unveiled 3D printed meat – using a benchtop machine to create serves from liquefied offal and mince. Experts claim 3D-food printers will one day be as common as coffee machines and microwaves, with hungry diners simply loading a cartridge full of emulsified beef or lamb offcuts into the machine, which prints the meaty mouthful up in layers. 'This is real; this is happening now; we are not saying this technology will replace all sausages and steaks but that on some occasions, 3D printed meat will be available and sometimes preferable,' Michael Lee from Meat and Livestock Australia told The Australian. 'This may also present a value opportunity (to the industry); currently one-third of each animal (slaughtered) ends up as low-value burger trimmings for retailers like McDonald's. 'Why not see if this new technology gives us the opportunity to create more value for our farmers?'…….Read More

Hi there! It's nice to meet you.
My name is Courtney, born and raised in Wisconsin, living in Boulder, CO. I am a designer and outdoor lover, with a midwestern work ethic.
I'm currently the Art Director at POWDR, an adventure lifestyle company that fuels a balanced life full of adventure. The POWDR portfolio includes nine mountain resorts, Woodward camps and programs, Outside TV, and more. My specialty is experiential design with a human centered approach. Our work covers resort wayfinding, restaurants, lodging, retail, rentals, events, and programming.
Outside of work I keep my design skills sharp with freelance branding gigs – please reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com with any inquiries. Whether you're an established brand or just starting out, I'd love to learn more about the ins and outs of your biz and work with you to build a brand identity that is as unique as you are!
When I'm not busy with all things design, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and our dog. Our current hobbies mostly consist of fly fishing, rafting, camping, and snowboarding.
Thanks for stopping by!
Client Kindness
Courtney is a joy to work with on so many levels. Not only is she upbeat and responsive, but she took diligent steps to collect background information on our company, our vision, and our culture. She then beautifully incorporated all of that into a complete rebrand that reflected the look and feel we envisioned but couldn't translate into imagery ourselves. We receive compliments on our branding collateral and web design on a regular basis. I would not hesitate to hire Courtney again for any other future design needs.
Bailey Dolian, Get Coordinated
Courtney was incredibly easy to work with. She completed our project, on-time, in budget and beat our expectations. She brings a high level of professionalism to her consultative approach. Her communication style makes for clear expectations of results, timelines and scope. She has a keen eye for design and the users experience. We have recently expanded our contract with her and look forward to our continued build out.
Cal Grant, Honor Payment Solutions
Courtney is a true professional, not to mention an incredibly talented creative. The latter is evident by experience, her portfolio, and her consistent output of high quality design across a number of mediums. She does a great job upfront to truly understand the essence of the client, the brand, and the project at hand. From there, her listening skills, empathy and talent allow her to provide a wide spectrum of style possibilities. She is easy to work with, she takes pride in her work and I would be happy to recommend her to any individual or business that needs design expertise.

The South- south Zonal Head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ishaq Salihu, has said the commission will partner with MTN in the fight against economic and financial crimes in the country.
A statement issued by the EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said Salihu made the disclosure while receiving some senior officers of MTN who visited the commission's zonal office in Port Harcourt.
He said partnering with the company in the fight against money laundering and other forms of economic and financial crimes was vital to the development of the country.
According to him, such partnership will help reduce capital flight and restore Nigeria's integrity.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Salihu advised MTN to operate within the ambit of the law and fish out moles within its ranks.

RIGHTS GROUPS HAVE questioned the validity of a letter, published by Taiwan's Central News Agency, purportedly written by one of five missing Hong Kong booksellers, feared detained by Chinese authorities.
Today Britan confirmed one of the men, 65-year-old Lee Bo, is a UK citizen saying it is "deeply concerned" over the disappearances
The letter, purported to be from Lee was said to have been faxed to a colleague, saying he was well and had reached the mainland using his own means on an "urgent matter".
He said he was "assisting an investigation" but did not elaborate.
Lee's wife has previously said he called her from a number in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen after he went missing.
Critical of the Chinese government
The case has sparked fury from lawmakers and activists in semi-autonomous Hong Kong, adding to growing unease that freedoms in the city are being eroded.
All five missing men worked for the same Hong Kong-based publishing house Mighty Current, known for books critical of the Chinese government.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, visiting Beijing, told reporters: "We have urgently inquired with both Hong Kong and mainland authorities."
Hammond added that if Lee were charged with any offences, he should be tried in Hong Kong.
'One country, two systems'
Foreign minister Wang Yi did not reply directly when asked whether China had detained the booksellers, but said policy towards Hong Kong remained "unchanged".
"We will continue to uphold the principles of 'one country, two systems', Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy," he said.
He was also asked whether China would recognise Lee's British passport.
"Based on the basic law of Hong Kong and China's nationality law, this person in question is first and foremost a Chinese citizen," he said.
China does not recognise dual nationality of its own citizens.
An earlier statement from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed Lee was a British citizen, saying it was "deeply concerned by reports" about the disappearances.
The FCO urged the Hong Kong government to "honour its commitment" to press freedom.
It added that it hoped Chinese authorities would ensure the environment for media and publishers in Hong Kong supported "full and frank reporting".
'I feel unsafe'
Hong Kong was handed back to Beijing by Britain in 1997 and enjoys freedoms unseen on the mainland. Chinese law enforcers have no right to operate in the city.
Police confirmed Tuesday Lee's wife, Sophie Choi, had retracted a report on her husband's disappearance, a move Amnesty said smacked of "intimidation".
"I believe he did it voluntarily, so I cancelled the report," Choi told reporters.
A friend of Lee who volunteers at the book store and did not want to be identified said: "His wife is on the brink of collapse."
He added he too was now afraid.
"I feel unsafe — I don't know whether the next one will be me," he told reporters.
Amnesty said it was common for Chinese authorities to put pressure on those close to detainees.
"One wonders whether the same sort of intimidation is being used against associates and friends (of the publishers)," said Amnesty International's China researcher William Nee.

'Frozen' Meets '50 Shades' In This Amazing Parody
Let's play a game of word association. When I say Frozen, what immediately comes to mind? If you say Disney, Elsa, Once Upon a Time, or even snow, then you're just like everybody else. If you say Fifty Shades of Grey, then welcome to the cool people club. Somehow, some way, one fan decided that what the world really needs in a land of increasingly derivative Frozen parodies and the hot and bothered women going through their daily lives counting down the seconds until the Fifty Shades of Grey movie comes out is a video that combines the two into the only trailer you will ever need to watch for the rest of your life. The trailer, called Fifty Shades of Frozen, is the right mash up of sexy and creepy — just like Fifty Shades of Grey.
Anna plays the role of the naive, virginal Ana Steele who has to visit Christian Grey, aka Prince Hans, for an interview that will change both of their lives. When Elsa asks Anna what Hans was like, Anna flashes back to their meeting and Prince Hans emphatically telling her that he is looking at her. Then, as we montage through Anna and Hans' relationship, Hans soon reveals that he's not the romance type. In fact, his tastes are so singular that they include a visit to a dungeon, knifeplay, and some sort of ice kink that it's really better not to think too hard about.
It's really unclear which is worse: the fact that these clips from Frozen sync up so well with the dialogue of the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer or the fact that someone watched the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer and thought, "You know what would go really well with this? Frozen!" Either way, you probably shouldn't let your children click their way to this parody because even knowing what a creepy villain Hans is doesn't make Beyoncé crooning "uh oh uh oh uh oh ooh-no no" any less sexy. And if you find yourself thinking this should be a real movie, well, I can't help you.
Watch the trailer below.

Having taken an interest in the recent surge in popularity of DevOps, I found myself watching a DevOps Enterprise Summit presentation by quality engineering guru Elisabeth Hendrickson.
In the talk [video, slides], Elisabeth highlighted the importance of maintaining and reducing the length of feedback loops. In a project management context, a feedback loop is a method for monitoring and maintaining the improvement (and progress) of a project. One of the most popular is Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), also known as a Deming Cycle.
During the planning stage, a project "spec" or specification is created. As Elisabeth pointed out, without completing regular feedback loops, a project's "spec" is more likely to represent speculation than specification. The earlier and more frequently you check that what you are speculating is true, the better. Delaying this process results in ever increasing risk and project fragility.
The idea of tightening feedback loops is well established, particularly in Agile development, but the simplicity and clarity with which Elisabeth explained the importance of these feedback loops really stood out, principally her highlighting of the time value of information:
"A little information today is worth more than that same information tomorrow"
This is true for all aspects of a project including, of course, security. To highlight just a few examples:
- During the design stage, a little bit of security knowledge through threat modelling could save developers months of work which they would otherwise have spent building, for example, a flawed authentication system.
- Having developers go through even some basic security training has frequently been shown to be one of the most effective ways to reduce the number of security bugs in their code.
- Conducting light or exploratory security testing and code reviews earlier in a project's lifecycle will reduce the likelihood of having high and critical risk issues when nearing a production state.
If you don't find this convincing enough, I highly recommend watching the presentation and just keeping security in mind. How many projects have you managed, coded, tested or watched in horror from a distance, which would have benefited from even just a little bit of timely security information?

Savio Football Clinches Playoff Berth
St. Dominic Savio's varsity football team put an exclamation point on Homecoming 2016 beating San Antonio T.M.I. 49-23 in front of the enthusiastic and spirited Homecoming crowd, and clinching a TAPPS Independent Division playoff spot.
Led by the all-around play of junior Mark Lacayo the Eagles overcame a sluggish start to run their season record to 4-3, and set the stage for the final two regular season games, and prepare themselves for a state playoff appearance.
Lacayo returned to action in grand style after an injury he suffered in the Salado game. The 6'1 junior rushed for 151 yards, returned kicks, and made his presence felt on defense. The Eagle offense amassed 502 total offense yards, and the defense held the T.M.I. passing game in check limiting the Panthers to 88 yards. The defense also recorded a safety.
TAPPS football tournament brackets were released on Saturday. The Division V Independent first playoff date is SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 at a site and time TBD. The Championship game will be held on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5 also at a site and time TBD.
Friday the Eagles will take on Leander Glenn HS. Glenn is in it's first year of existence as a school, and in its first year playing football. The game was originally scheduled for Westwood HS but with a very large crowd expected the game has been moved to the Glenn HS campus stadium to accommodate the numbers. Tom Glenn HS is located on the corner of Baghdad Road and Collaborative Way in Leander.

Press Releases
Rep. Roybal-Allard Statement on Transportation Security Administration Budget Request
Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), the Ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, today delivered the following opening statement at a Subcommittee hearing on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) budget request for Fiscal Year 2016. The hearing's witness was TSA Acting Administrator Melvin Carraway.
"Administrator Carraway, welcome to your first appearance before the Subcommittee, and congratulations on your appointment as Acting Administrator. We are here to support your efforts to ensure the security of the traveling public, and we appreciate your hard work and commitment, and that of TSA personnel.
"For several years now, the proposed budget for TSA has been coming down instead of going up, with net savings of $68 million proposed for Fiscal Year 2016 compared to Fiscal Year 2015 – including a reduction of $51 million for screeners. This has occurred in the context of a growing volume of passengers. Given the fiscal challenges we face, we are going to need that savings from TSA in coming years, and perhaps even more.
"TSA's risk-based approach to aviation security is a success story, but I think it's important for us to understand and have confidence in the underlying risk assessments, and I'll be asking you later in the hearing about that process.
"Most of the TSA workforce is performing admirably in what is a very difficult, often very strenuous, occupation. And as was tragically confirmed in late 2013 with the shooting death of TSO Gerardo Hernandez at the Los Angeles Airport, it can also be a very dangerous occupation. As you know, the Fiscal Year 2015 funding bill that the President signed into law just a few weeks ago included a provision making the family of TSO Hernandez eligible for benefits under the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program.
"We do still hear about unprofessional behavior by some TSOs, and occasionally see it ourselves in our frequent travels between home and Washington. We want to work with you on continuing to improve the interactions between TSA and the public.
"Administrator Carraway, I look forward to this morning's discussion of TSA's proposed budget for the coming year."

Food amazing. Setting. Perfect. Could not ask for anymore.
To be fair I did not mention to my server that I had a hair in my salad. Otherwise food was very good and service was fantastic. Price was ok for the meal.
Fun time in the swing suite. We will definitely do this again. Nice bar menu and endless games to play on the simulator.
I went on 1/18/20 around 5:36pm. First, let's talk parking. There is very little of it. This place in downtown. So carpool and use a public lot. Expect to walk a block or two. The restaurant is on the 3rd story of a building that houses a private gymnasium and a small conference center. You do not...
Good food, excellent service. Wasn't as loud as usually, which was a good thing.
Had brunch with a friend. The food and service was very good. We do miss the brunch buffet :)
We love this restaurant and come regularly. This is the best Indian food in Lane County.
We went for a birthday this night and the only complaint was that the waitress didn't know the menu well and one of the dishes came without sauce (we asked for some and got it back quickly).
We had a great time great customer service
Welcoming UO:-)

Infor has announced that TAL Apparel Limited (TAL) has completed the first phase of its ERP migration to the cloud. The overall project will see TAL Apparel migrate their on-premises legacy Infor M3 Fashion solution to AWS hosted Cloudsuite Fashion. This should be completed by 2019. The first phase involved migrating their existing solution to an Infor managed CloudSuite solution, in a hosted environment. In Asia this is currently Tata Communications according to an article in Computerworld HongKong.
Lifts and Shifts and Extends
When Infor announced its lift and shift program in November 2015 at Inforum EU, TAL quickly saw its value. They believed that a SaaS model would allow them to run their business more efficiently. It also means that the headache of scaling as the business grows is left to an external provider. They began the project in April 2016 and the final migration took place in just three days. The teams started on a Thursday evening and finished on Sunday night and upgraded all six countries and 1500 users.
There were fewer than 50 issues during the migration process to address and TAL saw the benefits quickly. They achieved a 50% reduction in heavy batch jobs such as MRP and month end closing. The project also saw the completion of integration with the cloud solution to other products. This included Infor GT Nexus, that TAL uses to receive orders in its supply chain.
The project has gone well. Dr. Delman Lee, President and CTO for TAL Apparel Limited commented: "The Infor team understands our industry very well. The Infor M3 consultants working for us are all very experienced, with many years of M3 and fashion industry experience. All of this has helped us improve system efficiency, greatly enhancing our manufacturing operational capability in the digital era."
The advantage of cloud
While the full project, including the move to AWS, is not yet complete Infor are now responsible for the upgrades and performance. As TAL grows and shrinks they no longer need to worry about whether to extend storage or purchase another server. The Infor cloud also looks after their security and their security budget should focus on their end-points and other areas. However, just moving solutions to the cloud does not mean that they should forget their security and ensuring that they are taking advantage of the security features is important.
It is one of the areas that ERP companies seem reluctant to talk about in detail. It is also a critical one for clients to ensure that ERP vendors don't just say they are secure but demonstrate how they achieve that security. Infor are not alone in this.
Dr Lee is happy with the progress to date and is also considering an investment in the Infor HRM solution, Infor Workforce Management.
TAL is also happy with its strategic choice. Vice President for Information Technology Kiang Kai Yuen commented to ComputerWorld HongKong: "Cloud is the future. We'd rather invest in the vendor than in hardware infrastructure in itself, as we believe the vendor can use the funds to build more scalable and reliable infrastructure than we can using the same amount of resources by enjoying economies of scale."
What does this mean
This is a big success for Infor. It has demonstrated it canmigrate a complex on-premises environment to its cloud. The implementation has taken far less time than an old fashioned ERP deployment. TAL is also reducing the amount of bespoke code and taking advantage of the enhanced configuration options that Infor Cloudsuite Fashion offers. This is important as it means that future upgrades with enhanced features can be delivered quickly. In a rapidly changing environment such as Fashion this is even more important.
Graham McColough, Vice President, Managing Director, North Asia, Infor commented: "Going to cloud has already become a trend for enterprises. The major value that cloud brings is fast and resilient on-line expansion of business as well as improving the cost structure of the enterprise. We are very happy that TAL Apparel is beginning to migrate to Infor Cloudsuite Fashion, and has achieved significant improvements in operational performance, and are willing to support more industry companies in Asia to migrate to cloud."
Kiang also summarised the advantages and foresees a future in which the majority of companies will use cloud based ERP solutions. He commented: "It's more about shifting investments away from hardware so software vendors can enjoy economies of scale to provide us with a better product. Other cloud software providers such as Salesforce have built more reliable platforms than any single customer can do alone. We believe it's the same for ERP, with the future being industry-specific clouds."

Tip #54
Don't Allow a Grace Period Unless Required by Law
Written on June 22, 2015 by Lucas Hall
While I adore Grace Kelly, I think grace periods for rent are not so flattering.
So why do we, as landlords, even allow grace periods?
I know, I know, some state laws mandate them, but generally speaking, the rest of the world doesn't work that way.
If you're two days late for a job interview, you won't get the job – period. If you fail to pay your taxes by April 15th and don't file an extension, you get a hefty fine. In the real world, there are severe consequences for being late!
In my opinion, grace periods only grant permission for a tenant to pay late.
The Truth About Grace Periods
Sadly, grace periods only give the tenant an excuse to deviate from the contract.
Grace periods allow the tenant to think that "a five-day grace period means rent is not really due until the fifth anyway." Once they mentally go down that road, it's hard to change their perspective. Trust me, it took me years to realize this.
Realistically, your tenants have all month to pay rent – so there is no reason why they must wait until the very last-minute, and thus, no reason why they should need a grace period.
Worse, grace periods only delay the late fee, which is the only real motivator to pay on-time.
My belief is that a landlord shouldn't offer a grace period unless you are required to by law.
After all, the tenant signed a contract stating that rent would be paid by a certain date. I would be sending mixed messages by allowing them to pay on a different day.
An Obvious Red Flag
If I have an applicant who refuses to sign a lease because I don't allow a grace period, and I am not required to by my state laws, then that renter most likely plans to utilize the grace period. Makes sense, right?
It's an obvious red flag that they don't take me, the contract, or the due date seriously.
If a potential renter is adamant about having a grace fee, it usually means that they don't have good handle on their finances, or have irregular and unpredictable income streams. Both of which makes this renter a high risk for nonpayment and eviction situations.
No thank you. Good DAY, Sir!
"Come On, Have a Heart!"
Some people think I'm being too stern by not allowing a grace period.
Let me be clear, not having a grace period doesn't prevent me from waiving late fees.
After all, "life" happens, and I need to be able to account for it. I generally try to look for the best in people, but I also realize that it's easier to be lenient on a rule, rather than try to enforce a rule that never existed.
If a good tenant is late on rent, I almost always forgive the late fee once – but only once.
I'm a man of my word, and I expect others to be the same. When someone agrees to a rent due date, I expect them to meet that deadline. My mortgage payment doesn't really care if their transmission dropped out.
If they don't the due date, the consequences are clearly defined in the lease as one-time fees, daily late fees, and even termination notices.
Further, I also require my tenants to set up automatic rent payments with Cozy, so the chance of them "forgetting" to pay goes down to almost zero.
With that said, some tenant-friendly Judges might rule against you if you don't have a grace period, even if there is no statutory requirement – but I think it's worth the risk.

Psalm 34:17 – When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
We live in troubling times, and I can't say that will improve anytime soon. However, I firmly believe that we CAN change our attitudes on how we perceive our troubles. Over the years, I curated a series of mantras, if you will, to help keep my perspective in check. Below, you will find them, and I hope that they can encourage you as they do me.
1. Do something you love every day. Please, create art and live through it each day. Your creations are an extension of yourself and will forever represent you. Even if it's just taking one photograph or preparing a special latte, art is so vitally important for your life. Treat it like a finicky plant – it needs help – from you – to live its fullest.
2. Wear your favorite clothes and wear them often. Even when they become worn and grow holes the comfort they gave you can never die. Appreciate them and say thank you each time you hang or fold them.
3. Don't save "the good things" for "some day." Foods, cosmetics, and clothing all spoil. Don't wait until tomorrow – drink the good wine every Sunday and wear the expensive perfume whenever you want to.
4. If you don't like something in your life, remember that you can change it. Maybe not today, but work towards it. Rome was not built in a day, and you can't change your life in a day, either. Create those first baby steps today.
5. Watching films and reading books about people with vastly different lives will broaden your horizons. Learn from these people so you can appreciate, and have empathy for, every walk of life.
6. Keep your dreams, even if you have no intention on making them come true! Day dreams are important… they may not be something realistic, or even something that you actually want from life, (as I mentioned here), but keep your day dreams alive. If you do this, you will always have an alternate reality to drift into, and there is something oddly romantic about a whole imaginary world.
7. When worst comes to worst, always rely on the beauty of words. Spiritual texts, poetry, and even novels are ripe with quotes that seal the cracks in our hearts. Through literature, you can find comfort. Once you find that comfort, spread it around like honey on bread. Don't keep that stuff to yourself.
Do you have any uplifting mantras? Please share them with me. I'd love to add to this list.

Golden Oak Outpost is a counter service restaurant in Frontierland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. You can do better.
Named for Walt Disney's California ranch where the company filmed several of its television shows, the outpost is a small, outdoor counter-service stand serving specialty-topped waffle fries for $6, with options including BLT-topped and barbecue-pork-topped fries. Disney also has used the "Golden Oak" name for its ultra-high-end housing development located just down the road from the Magic Kingdom, with multi-million dollar homes for sale to Disney fans who think Scrooge McDuck is middle class.

These two cannot get enough of each other. I have 3 older stepbrothers, but they didn't join our family until I was around 10 years old. So I don't really know what it is like to have an older brother-younger sister relationship.
From watching these two, I think it must be pretty special.
Sienna's first word (before even "Mama" or "Dada") was "Brae." The first word that comes out of her mouth when she wakes up each morning is "Brae," as she's looking around the house for him.
When she spots him, her face lights up like a Christmas tree. And his does, too. Then they race (or in her case, crawl) toward each other, laughing and embracing.
It absolutely melts my heart.
They hold hands in the car. When he leaves the room, she cries. When she's taking a bath, he has to take one too, even if he's already taken one. He feeds her. He sings to her before bed. She carries the clothes he's worn that day around with her.
Quite frankly, it's a sibling love affair.
And they don't share a single gene between them. Because, well, it just doesn't matter to them.
A couple cute Brae stories:
1) Brae has been in a Spanish immersion daycare/school since he was 13 weeks old. He's now over 3.5 years old. The boy speaks Spanish. My skin-is-whiter-than-snow boy speaks Spanish. We went to the park this weekend, and he saw a younger boy playing by himself. He overheard him speaking Spanish to his mother. Brae approached him near the teeter totter and said, "Esta caliente, no?," pointing to the teeter totter seat (It's hot, isn't it?). The boy nodded, and then looked to his mother, her mouth gaped open. I was so proud.
2) Brae is obsessed with basketball. Yup, still. He's not content with our 8-foot basketball hoop in the driveway. He wants to go to the regulation-level basketball hoop down the street. He'll be there, pj's and barefoot, until the sun sets or until Dad drags him back into the house, kicking and screaming. This weekend, I took him to his basketball camp (normally Tygh takes him). As I sat on the bleachers, another mom came up to me and sat next to me. "You may not know this," she says, "but your son is quite advanced with basketball." No kidding.

VIDEO: Alabama WR Calvin Ridley Talks Fall Camp
Midway through Alabama's fall camp, wide receiver Calvin Ridley spoke positively about the team during a media appearance on Thursday.
The junior spoke for about six minutes before the Crimson Tide's night practice and talked about the team's progression through 12 practices. Ridley said he believes this could be a dangerous team and they'll be ready by the time the season starts.
He also discussed the challenge of practicing in the Tuscaloosa heat, the strengths of the Alabama quarterbacks, his impressions of Trevon Diggs at defensive back, and the development of the wide receiver unit.
Listen to all of his comments in the video above.

I wonder how many of us can remember the last time we were either really hungry or thirsty ???
Like in the Psalm;
"my soul thirsts,
my flesh faints,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."
And in the time of Isaiahs writing when he people of Israel were captive slaves in Babylon, hunger and thirst would have been a common and life threatening reality. Slaves by definition work hard and are given little in return.
So when the Prophet Isaiah writes; "Hey, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, you that have no money, come buy and eat! Come buy wine and milk without money and without price."
His words just may have had some impact and relevance!
The thirsty and the poor are invited to drink.
Neither ones need, nor ones ability to pay will stifle this gift. Far more than water is on offer. Wine and milk, delightful things are for the taking and at no cost. Imagine the sort of crowd these words could attract. In Isaiahs time, access to these was the preserve of landowners, those with vineyards and herds or flocks, for those who have money to purchase them. Not so here. Nothing is required of the purchaser in this deal and nothing is demanded by the giver.
What matters is listening and responding!
Now its abundantly clear that Isaiah was no economist!!
To buy without paying is not part of the worlds system.
But then, neither is the God he worshiped much of an economist. When you consider the concept of jubilee that God gave Israel - the canceling of all debts every 50 years, the principle of peoples good and of ensuring basic living needs are clearly placed first.
Did Isaiah have any comprehension of what such a declaration could mean to those whose lives depended on the smooth running of the Babylonian economy ? He is not really speaking against the shopkeepers and traders.
No, these words are written to awaken the yearning for Gods freedom and grace that the numbed captives in Babylon have lost touch with. To people who have forgotten what to hunger for, who have lost hope.
Of course the words of Isaiah werent just about the physical.
He had the attention of his audience, then he goes on; "Listen carefully, and eat what is good, Incline your ear so that you may live."
No, he wasnt a nutritionist before his time either.
Here is the truth that Jesus later quotes, that people cannot live by bread alone. God promises plenty, God promises life abundant, ....
- and the key to that life of true richness - is to be found in the spiritual nourishment found in a restored relationship with God. Jesus often spoke of heaven and the kingdom of God in terms of a great banquet to which we all are invited in the abundance of Gods grace. An abundance of true nourishment, couched in terms of the greatest of dinner parties.
Isaiah expresses the need for a response by the people; seeking the Lord; calling on him while he is near, forsaking the wicked way or unrighteous thoughts, and returning to the Lord. Gods reply is mercy and abundant pardon.
The mystery of this wondrous offer is expressed in terms of Gods ways being different to ours, our thoughts not like Gods.
What can we do about this gap, how can we approach God?
It is the otherness of Gods thoughts and ways, of offering rich food without price which achieves this. This is the astonishing point. Gods ways and thoughts are thoroughly focused on letting us seek God, and having our ways become like Gods. The invitation is made, the door is open, the cost is nothing!
"Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near."
The invitation to the party, to receive Gods abundance is open to all.
To those who are thirsty and open to receive, Gods invitation is like the best wine - or milk, or fruit smoothie if thats your preference!
Material wealth, health, family, career - none have the answers to our deepest thirst and hunger; "Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy ?" says the prophet.
And even for us, who are not slaves in foreign captivity and mostly well satisfied already, there is a word that strikes home. What are we really getting for what we spend our lives on?
We are in need of God, says the psalmist, like a dry and weary land where there is no water. The further this drought goes on, the more we understand this image and relate to the feeling of tangible need that it expresses.
We need and long for the divine like a drought ravaged land longs for water and we know the need most sharply when other fulfillments are absent.
Our needs, this psalm reminds us, are much more than for self fulfillment, satisfaction and self discovery. Our needs are more than for food and drink. We have a need for the divine, for meaning beyond ourselves, a need for connection with the transcendent, a need for God.
"O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you."
And the voice of God, through Isaiah, whispers to you and to me:
"Incline your ear and come to me; listen, so that you may live."
Then, in Isaiah, there are the beautiful and much needed images of rain and snow falling from heaven, not to return to heaven, but to cover the earth with their life giving substance, refreshing it, and bringing forth the seed that is necessary to sustain life.
Again, its a picture of an abundant supply of food for the people. We started with thirst and necessary drink, now we finish with hunger and necessary bread. We might think of this in relation to the elements of the communion the wine and bread for our pilgrimage or to reaffirm our faith in the systems of nature that God has given to provide for our physical needs.
But this is also the season of Lent, and we think of the wilderness, of sacrifice and serious preparation with life and death consequences. So in the wisdom of the lectionary there is paired with this gracious offer and compelling invitation for spiritual refreshment, a sharper note of requirement for response as well.
In Jesus parable of the fig tree, the gardener gives the old fruitless fig another chance. Its to be tended another season, fertilized, dug around and then if theres no fruit next year, out it will come! This is an act of love and of patience, as an illustration of Gods grace, love and patience, but there is clearly an expectation.
Trees in an orchard have a purpose. We have purpose, the church has reasons for its existence. The invitation is not just to come to Gods feast and gorge ourselves silly.
If we, like the fig are taking up space and giving nothing back, now is a good time for some self examination.
We might ask ourselves, what am I consuming in my faith, and what am I giving back, what is the fruit?
We might ask what of the rain and snow of Gods word am I soaking in and what do I produce with it?
We might ask what rain and resources of the earth we are using and what care we take and what do we put back?
It is a serious and necessary reflection but one done in the context of Gods gracious invitation and the grace of another chance.
"Incline your ear and come to me; listen, so that you may live."

2,500 GM Employees Volunteer in Detroit's Cody Rouge Community
NEWSROOM: General Motors
CAMPAIGN: GM Social Impact
CONTENT: Press Release
DETROIT – It'll be all hands (and arms and legs) on deck when 2,500 General Motors employees return to Detroit's Cody Rouge community to volunteer the week of Aug. 15. Employees will donate their time and talent to board up vacant homes, clean empty lots, spruce up streets and tackle other neighborhood and school improvements.
The transformation is part of teamGM Cares, a company-wide volunteerism initiative that is partnering with the Cody Rouge Community Action Alliance (CRCAA), Cody High School and additional corporations. Several of GM's senior executives will join employees throughout the week.
The CRCAA and residents have been working with GM and The Skillman Foundation since early 2016 to determine the community's needs and develop plans. "Our organization has been working for 10 years to create a strong, sustainable community for residents and businesses," says Kenyetta Campbell, CRCAA executive director. "We are excited to partner with GM to help amplify our work."
GM's improvements to Cody High will include a concession stand, fitness park, dugout, soccer field, pavilion and a complete field cleaning.
"GM's employees made great progress two years ago and now we are returning to work with residents and community leaders to create a safer, sustainable neighborhood where families and businesses can thrive," said Heidi Magyar, director of GM Community Outreach.
Other partners working with GM in Cody Rouge include Quicken Loans, DTE Energy, The Skillman Foundation, PwC, Roncelli, Inc., and Oak Pointe Church. Their projects will include:
- Quicken Loans: Employee volunteers will clean and paint boarded-up vacant structures and renovate the walking path at Rouge Park

A good thing, I ♥ our weather and fun at the park
- Asking my mother, during our daily call, if anything good happened to her that day. She thinks about it and says she loved having her feet soaked. A good thing! I say.
- My afternoon walk was under a lovely blue, cloudless sky with the temperature around 70 degrees. I ♥ the weather we are having this week.
- A studious looking Bulldog trots by going in the other direction at the park, a red ball in his mouth, intent on his destination; his smiling owner close behind. I see them later at the dog park, the dog lying in the grass chewing on the ball; the owner trying to get it from him to throw. :)

I'd guess it would certainly be pretty slobbery! :)
Yes - I heard it hasn't rained in days in the UK. Good deal.
And congrats on being first!
lg -
We have a day today that is much like yesterday - I hear the park calling!
Ellis -
I like that last line about the poor owner. :) Thank you for my poem!
Talon -
I remember your pics of Riley with a big ball in his mouth. And one that was particularly tattered. :)
happygirl -
Peonies. Thank you - I couldn't think what that flower was.
My mom has chronic problems with her feet and so they soak them for her daily at the assisted living place. I'd love that, too.

I'm constantly amazed by dogs who stay by their master when they are out in public. My beagle is about as perfect a dog as one could want, but she would take off untethered.
Our weather is getting to be more like yours now...I love it!

Great flower pic!
My kids got me a foot bath thing for Mom's Day once- I rarely have time for it tho- Lucky your Mom gets to enjoy one!

Ginny -
One of my coworkers wore a sweater to work yesterday and dragged out a portable heater. :) It was perfect for another walk in the park in the afternoon.
I'm glad the weather is finally turning around for you.
Riot Kitty -
Thank you - it was a stand alone blossom, too.
Jewel -
My family had a beagle, too - I understand. They follow their nose - something that got him in trouble a couple of times. :)
Snaggle -
You are on your feet a lot, sounds like, so that sounds like a thoughtful gift.
I hope you have a nice Mothers Day, Snaggle.

Volunteer at the SESUG Conference
SESUG is an all-volunteer organization which receives event
support from SAS® and conference sponsors. However, various roles such as
academic sessions, registration desk and special events are staffed
by volunteers like you.
Volunteering adds value to your conference experience. As a volunteer you can:
- Earn the appreciation of the conference chair, section chairs, presenters, and attendees.
- Meet new people.
- Feel good about being involved and helping the conference run smoothly.
- Spend a morning or afternoon in a room with presentations of interest to you.
- Become more familiar with SESUG by helping attendees with their registration or answering questions at the information desk.
- Become more at ease in front of groups by presenting short introductions of the speakers or assisting in the coordination of an event.
- Wear a volunteer ribbon on your name badge and get recognition for your contributions to the conference.
Volunteer Opportunities
Session Coordinators help run the academic sections, helping with administrative tasks like timekeeping, attendance-tracking,
and introducing speakers. It is a great way to help out while attending sessions. Session coordinators usually work half day blocks of time.
Registration/Information Desk Coordinators help the registrars and conference attendees before and during the conference. This area is centrally located and you can help with setting up registration, or handing out conference materials and answering questions other attendees may have. Registration Coordinators normally work a 2 hour block of time.
When you register for the conference, you will have an opportunity to let us know how you are willing to help.
Have Questions?

Ted Genoways quotes John Steinbeck as the epigraph for his book on a year in the life of a Nebraska farm: "Now farming became industry …" The year begins in October 2014 and ends in November 2015, harvest to harvest, tracing the crop year through planting and spraying and irrigation, with stops along the way for cattle branding and weaning and mending fences. The farm is a family farm, with the fifth generation handing over the reins to the sixth, and an epilogue welcoming the birth of the first of the next generation.
This Blessed Earth: A Year in the Life of an American Family Farm by Ted Genoways (W.W. Norton and Company, 2017)
The story of the farm is the story of farming in the United States: the Homestead Act welcoming land-hungry farmers after the Civil War, their struggles to survive natural disasters of grasshoppers and drought and human-created disasters: the Bank Panic of 1893, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the Farm Crisis of the 1980s.
Over 150 years of farming in Nebraska, the Hammond family story includes developments and controversies that have shaped U.S. agriculture. Describing the intricacies of growing seed corn for Dupont Pioneer, Genoways gives a history of the development of hybrid corn. He describes how the higher-yielding corn sucked nitrogen out of the soil and led to burgeoning use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and then to today's pesticide-resistant seeds, which are credited with the development of pesticide-resistant super-weeds. He paints a vivid picture of an irrigation system, its "humped spine and rib-like trusses, girding an array of dangling hoses and sprinkler heads, … like the skeleton of some kind of robot Brontosaurus, poised to waken from its prehistoric slumber." That leads to a history of the development of center pivot irrigation, and its impact on the Ogallala Aquifer, which threatens the future of grain farming across the Great Plains. Similar storytelling connects this farm's history with the politics of farming, from 1950s Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson's advocacy of larger, more industrialized farms to the current international trade crisis.
Hybrid seeds changed the face of agriculture, bringing with them a more industrialized model. The changes brought problems as large as the increased yields: water pollution, corporate control of inputs, increased debt loads, unsustainable burdens on land and water.
The year, and the book, end with hope, as Meghan and Kyle take over management of the farm to a new generation and welcome a new baby. That hope seems forced: a nice way to end a book, but not a realistic forecast for the future of U.S. farming.

Westport man charged with criminal impersonation
WESTPORT — A 44-year-old Westport man was charged with criminal impersonation in connection to identity theft.
On July 15, police were contacted about a potential identity theft incident. The victim explained he had been attempting to purchase a new vehicle and was referred by a dealership to a company belonging to Duane Berkey for help in locating it.
According to police, the victim met with Berkey who ultimately located the vehicle at a dealership in Illinois.
At a point prior to the transaction, police said the victim attempted to contact this dealership by telephone with an inquiry.
In the course of speaking with employees at the dealership, police said it was explained to the victim his voice was not recognizable despite employees stating they had multiple prior conversations with him.
It was later determined someone had been representing himself as the victim while negotiating terms for the vehicle, police said.
According to the police report, it was determined Berkey was responsible for the prior calls. In a subsequent interview, Berkey allegedly explained he portrayed himself as the victim in order to get him the best deal on the vehicle.
This ruse also included setting up fake accounts using the victim's name, police said. An arrest warrant was later granted for Berkey, charging him with criminal impersonation.
On Aug. 13, Berkey turned himself in to police. Berkey posted $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Norwalk on Aug. 22.
