Thursday in the Octave of Easter
(Acts 3:11-26; Luke 24:35-48)
If on the cross the Jews executed an innocent man, Christians have more than excised repayment. Their crimes against Jews through the centuries are extensive and bloody. At times Christian leaders supported or at best turned a blind eye to these atrocities. Interestingly, the Gospel according to Luke and Luke's Acts of the Apostles takes a judicious approach to the Jewish people's complicity in Jesus' death. On the cross in Luke's passion narrative Jesus prays for forgiveness of his persecutors. "Father, forgive them," he says, "for they do not know what they are doing." In today's reading from Acts, Peter reiterates the Lucan interpretation of Jewish responsibility. Addressing himself to the Jews of Jerusalem, Peter says, "'...you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did.'"
The ignorance of the Jews does not so much regard the night trial and swift execution of Jesus as the inability to recognize who he is. As Peter indicates, he is God's "Holy and Righteous One" sent to bring new life to the people. It is a large truth for us to grasp even after two millenniums of spiritual reflection. We continue to sin, and our sins conspire with those of the Jews and the Romans in Jerusalem that fateful Passover when Jesus was put to death. So we like the Jews addressed by Peter do not fully know what we do when we ridicule others or take something that does not belong to us. And, yes, we too, become beneficiaries of Jesus' prayer for forgiveness from the cross.

Home visits are not advisable due to the current situation of the Coronavirus outbreak. A telephone call or video call will be safer during this time.
(Info before Pandemic):
Home Visits
Please, if at all possible, come to the surgery.
House calls are undertaken by an appropriate health care professional, this may be either a GP (General Practitioner) or a Nurse Practitioner. The GP triages the housecall requests in the morning and these are then allocated across our clinical team, so please be aware that it may be our Nurse Practitioner who calls at your home.
If you must have a home visit please make your request by 10.30am. The receptionist will ask for an indication of the nature of the problem.
Home visits are very time consuming,meaning that the Health Care Professional cannot see as many patients in a day as they would like. Home visits are usually reserved for elderly, frail or terminally ill patients who are housebound. Difficulty with transport is not in itself a valid reason to request a home visit.

The real deal: ultra-competitive Phoenix showing true potential
If there were any doubts over Wellington Phoenix's Hyundai A-League credentials they may have just been crushed.
Phoenix were dead and buried at this point last season. Fast forward 12 months and the New Zealanders are trading blows in the backyard of the reigning Hyundai A-League Champions.
It's a remarkable turnaround for Phoenix, who have traditionally been rolled over and swept aside on their travels against the competition's big boys.
Phoenix are clearly made of sterner stuff under Mark Rudan, as their fiercely competitive 90-minute display and 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory on Friday night demonstrated.
And after claiming the scalp of Sydney FC earlier in the month, Wellington boast a bid for finals football that must be taken seriously.
They are doing it with style and purpose too, evidenced by the resurgence of David Williams, who now has two high-quality goals to his name in as many weeks after Friday night's stunner.
Williams, a former nemesis of Victory at Melbourne Heart, remarked that Phoenix had not only pushed Victory but entertained the crowds in the process.
"We deserved a point, we worked hard [and] we pushed them to their limits," he told FOX SPORTS following the match.
"They're Champions for a reason and we're full of confidence.
"I think we entertained the people at home and the people here are probably disappointed with the draw."

Although Wellington – now fourth on the Hyundai A-League ladder – will be buoyed Friday's result, Rudan will undoubtedly be guarded against his side and the Phoenix fans getting carried away.
The visitors came under fire late on as Victory rallied and on another day might have succumbed to a late winner.
It is the type of high-octane, big-game management that the club and Rudan must learn together as Wellington attempt to crystallise their top six aspirations.
"Tactics don't vary too much game to game but we've got to fight and keep pushing forward," Williams continued.
"We put them under pressure in the first 45 and really gave it to them.
"Sometimes we can run out of legs, its humid and hot here not like in Wellington where it's been quite nice cooler weather.
"We probably sat back a bit too much but they're a quality side."

They danced, they clowned, they did flips and cartwheels, they swung on great ropes of cloth - last Thursday a young version of the circus came to the Centro Arte para la Paz, thanks to Gabriel and Romina of Charivari. Gabriel and Romina are talented Argentinians who have spent a month teaching circus arts to a great group of young Suchitotans. The audience - parents and friends and school kids - was properly impressed and enthusiastic, and the whole scene was captured by the kids in Rachel's photography class.
It's easy to see how much fun this was. The part that's not quite visible is how important this kind of teaching is in giving these teens a sense of their own talents and possibilities. They may not be destined for the Cirque du Soleil (or maybe one of them is, who knows?), but they'll all be walking taller and with a healthy look-at-me attitude. May the circus continue!

It has a feisty girl as the main character, a lovably dorky boy, and a loyal dog. Add a plot with unexpected twists and a completely stunning ending and you've got one sweet novel.

Expressen columnist demands a Gessle tour
STOCKHOLM - Swedish tabloid Expressen's columnist Anders Nunstedt suggests in today's Expressen that Per Gessle should start booking gigs and renting a tour bus, and fast! "This single is most probably the big hit of this summer," Nunstedt says.
Today the new single, "Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång)", is released to the media. Nunstedt gave the single 4 stingers out of 5. "And if things go the way I figure, this record will spin so often it starts smoking the next few months."
In four weeks the album "Mazarin" will be out. After hearing about half of the album Nunstedt reports that "…Gessle seems to have a formidable album up his jean jacket sleeve…" Simple, straight-forward pop with a personal touch, light-years away from Roxette's non-lyrics. The album is full to the brim with happy choruses, Nunstedt continues.
This is a very fresh album, nothing you can expect from tired old pop veterans, like GES. The only thing Nunstedt misses is the younger Gessle's troubled love lyrics. But he's only heard half so far. And that half demands a tour.
Per Bjurman of Aftonbladet is also raving about this single. "Per Gessle has never been better", "Oh shit: This is a summerhit if I ever have heard one before." and "So everyone else, I'm sorry. It is the eternal pop addict from Harplinge who has written the soundtrack of the upcoming summer." The b-side is a weird little instrumental thing called "Nu är det ju juli igen, ju". "What this means I have no idea about, but try saying that title 15 times in a row!" Bjurman says.
There is no information whether Gessle is going to perform the solo material live, but Bjurman hopes that he will. "That would be very, very fun," Bjurman concludes.
Per was also interviewed on Rix FM this morning and P4's Svensktoppen yesterday afternoon. In Svensktoppen's interview Per commented "This album consists of part really old material, of which some is from the 80s even!" and "I haven't put out a solo album in Swedish in an amazing 18 years. This means I'm very old." The album breathes very much summer and very much Halmstad. Being asked who else than Marie is on the album Per says only Marie that you [the interviewer] know of, and laughs.

Board Corner – March, 2018 (Advisory Board)
ADVISORY BOARD MEETING March 28, 2018
Attendees: Martha Canning, Christine Rigby-Hall, Traci Hortinela, Rhonda Jimenez, Mary Beth Holland, Meg Brew, Beth Massa, Audrey Mezas, Lisa Janisch, Christine Collins, Kristin DeLong, Beth van Amerongen, Helene Garofalo, Danielle Tomich, Lauren Mescon
President Martha Canning called the meeting to order at 10:15 a.m.
FAWCO Interim Meeting - Martha shared that Lauren Mescon won a well-deserved FAWCO award. AWCA is the top donor to the Target Project. We now have Diamond Donor status!
Scholarship - Beth Massa reported that she has not yet received applications for the scholarships. It was discussed that it is normal for the applicants to wait until the last minute. It was discussed that the scholarship is merit-based, however, if minimum academic requirements are not met, applicants are not eligible. The academic requirements were discussed with respect to the different grading systems at schools. Members are encouraged to submit proposals for the description of the requirements. We need to be sure we continue to promote it. Beth Massa will send Beth van Amerongen the details for a club-wide email.
Youth Program - Rhonda Jimenez shared that our efforts to have business/professional internships are not going as well as she had hoped. As it is pursued further with the companies it becomes evident that it can be more work for the companies and not worth the benefit of having a student help out. One issue is that the program needs to be fluid - set dates don't work well for the variety of schedules our families have. Furthermore, ISA students don't get time off for internships so it has to be during the school breaks only, which presents a problem. Dutch schools and the British school give students a week off to be an intern. Rhonda is going to investigate some ideas presented and will also reassess the program to determine if it is worth continuing to pursue.
Amsterdam Activities - Lisa Janisch shared that things are going well as Amsterdam Rep, although she misses her "sidekick" Catherine. Lisa is willing to do the job one more year (bringing it to a total of 10 years as Amsterdam rep!), however, we need to find Lisa a co-rep for the coming year. It was discussed that some of the events have gone by the wayside (such as the Coffees in the City or the Walking Group) but many people are planning individual activities.
Excursions - Christine Collins reported that there have been excursions every month and they have been extremely well-attended. The only hiccup was the Coffeeshop tour: it generated a high amount of interest, but the tour operator canceled. If anyone knows of a possibilty for a coffeeshop tour, please let Christine or Rhonda know. Beth van Amerongen will be taking on excursions for next year and will have a committee. It was discussed that in the coming year we will increase the number of excursions and will vary the demographics, as well as the cost to be sure all members have some excursions which interest them and meet their budget requirements. It was suggested that we consider an excursion to Edinburgh next year during the same weekend of the FAWCO Interim Meeting there.
Art on the Move - Mary Beth reported it has been a great year for AOTM and reviewed the year activities. The Anne Frank neighborhood tour with Lorraine van Nes' husband was especially good and will possibly be repeated this coming year. Louise Hooley (in Haarlem) is a co-chair and she has coordinated a couple of tours this year. Mary Beth shared some of her thoughts for the remainder of the year. Mary Beth is always open to assistance on AOTM.
Cooking Club - Mary Beth took over the chairing of Cooking Club midyear. Last month it was held in Haarlem which was very well received. It was discussed we should consider doing a cooking club in 't Gooi as well. It was mentioned that you do not have to have a large kitchen and that it is okay if you have to limit the number of attendees.
Haarlem Activities - Meg Brew reported for Jennifer van Lent. Upcoming events include an Easter egg hunt and a house tour. The end of year party will be a pirate-themed party and it is going to be combined with the Amsterdam end of year event. June 23 is being considered. The monthly coffees seem to vary a great deal in attendance. It was mentioned that Jennifer did a great job of as Haarlem Rep this year, but she will be steping down this year to take on the position of At Night the coming year.
Publicity - It was discussed that there are some new international schools opening both in Haarlem and Amsterdam. Audrey will reach out to our PR Rep Phyllis Larkin to be sure she is aware of these schools.
't Gooi - Helene Garofalo shared the variety of activities happening in 't Gooi, such as Crafts, Ladies' Night Out and Wine Tasting, all advertised on the 't Gooi Facebook page. This month they are having a dinner at a soup restaurant, which was advertised on the clubwide page to encourage others to attend. They will be having an end of year BBQ, most likely on June 9.
Meet the Newcomers - Kristin DeLong has been doing all the coffees this year at her house. Vera Heijligers will be organizing the coffees next year. Cinda Bross and Lynne Tomlinson did the lunches this year and will not be continuing. We will need to fill this position for next year. It was discussed that there are people still confused about who is invited and how many times they can attend, despite the "Meet the Newcomers" title. Diane has been able to secure hosts for all the months. There were a lot of cancelations in February which was disappointing. She is having issues acquiring the newcomers' emails and getting them to attend. It was discussed that we should consider having buddies for the newcomers. Ideas for recruiting members were also discussed.
Dining Divas - Traci Hortinela and Elizabeth Gray have planned five so far this year. Several were near Central Station. There are typicaly around 10 members present, although some have had as many as 20 attendees. There is not one this month because of spring vacations. The next one is at the Amsterdam Boat House on May 24.
FAWCO - Lauren Mescon congratulated the entire club for being "rock stars" at the FAWCO Interim Meeting! AWCA member Sherrie Zwail Endermansubmitted Safe Spaces for a developmental award and received it! Many other clubs were intrigued by "Share Your Gifts for Good" and our charity gala, and regularly asked how we did it. The goal for the Target Project was $125,000. FAWCO has nearly met their goal already with AWCA contributing ~$30,000. Lauren plans to use the next few months to be sure and thank our members for making us a "FAWCO club." Lauren discussed Nacht van de Vluchteling (Night of the Refugee) and shared that our club has a team. She encourages all members to sign up. Lauren mentioned that club members can apply for FAWCO educational awards. She learned tips at FAWCO about how to apply for the awards and plans to share them with the club. Individual clubs can sponsor a education award and or developmental grant. Lauren suggested our club consider doing one with AWC The Hague.
Tulip Talk - Danielle Tomich hopes everyone is opening Tulip Talk and reading it. It is constantly evolving and she is considering moving the non-static items to a page on the AWCA website, so when events are changed, Tulip Talk will reflect that. The blog has been launched and is accessed on the external AWCA website. It is for promoting the club and a sharing platform for members. The differences between the blog, Tulip Talk and Facebook posts were discussed.
Book Group - Danielle shared that Afternoon Book Group was so popular that it had a waiting list, so a new evening one was formed and the new one is now full. It was mentioned that the AWCA could probably handle another book club if we have a member willing to form it.
The meeting was adjourned at 2 p.m.

A few weeks ago, we booked to go to Shears Yard in Leeds to try their early evening fixed price menu. The had a choice of either 2 courses for £16.50 or 3 courses for £19.50. I'd heard positive things about the restaurant so was looking forward to the visit. As we'd opted for the early evening menu we'd booked a table for 6.30pm. It was a bit of a rush from finishing work and we were running slightly late, so a quick courtesy call to let the restaurant know we'd be a few minutes late. It wasn't a problem, but we were told we'd need to have left our table by 8pm. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly service staff and shown to our table.
I was really impressed by the layout and look of the restaurant. The dangling light fittings from the ceiling give it a nice quirky edge and feel and complimented the exposed brickwork walls. The restaurant was quiet and there were only a handful of other diners in, presumably they had also opted for the early evening set menu.
The staff were polite and friendly and took our drinks orders whilst we perused the menu. We were brought some fresh sour dough crusty bread and the most delicious garlic butter I've tasted in a long time. For starter, we both opted for the chicken and leak terrine as the other dishes on offer didn't seem very appealing. The starters arrived quickly, and were fairly well presented.
My initial thoughts were that there were a large amount of ingredients had been incorporated into the dish. The garnish was too overpowering to the other flavours in the dish. When I queried with the staff what the garnish was, they didn't know and had to ask the Chef. I think its important that all staff should be taught about dishes they are serving, it shows a bit of passion for the menu. I eventually found out that the herb in the terrine was dill. For me the flavour was too strong
Our plates were cleared away quickly, it felt like we were being rushed through our meal a little. The main courses came out swiftly, again we both chose the same dish; slow cooked chilli beef brisket as the the selection of main courses was limited. We also ordered a side of hand cut chips. Similarly, to the starter course, my initial thoughts were that too many ingredients had been incorporated into the dish. The sesame and honey coleslaw just didn't seem to pair with the chilli beef and likewise the peanut dukkah wasn't complimentary to the beef either. However, the hand cut chips were delicious and seasoned well, and the tastiness was owing to them being 'triple cooked'
Again, our main plates were cleared relatively quickly. Neither of us were able to finish the main course and I was optimistic for the desserts, my favourite course! There was 3 to choose from, Sam went chose the Pineapple upside down cake with caramel and peppercorn sauce. I opted for the Coffee and passion fruit Eton mess. The peppercorns did not seem to pair with the pineapple cake and seemed an odd choice in the caramel sauce. The Eton mess came garnished with lemon balm. I liked the base ingredients and how they went together. However, for me the rough texture of the lemon balm didn't work with the smoothness of the cream and the flavour was a little too overpowering.
Shears Yard has potential to be a really great restaurant. I do feel that they are trying too hard to create that 'Wow factor' by incorporating too many far out ingredients and some which don't compliment the dishes they are paired with. The restaurant has a really nice setting and feel to it. I'd imagine the outside seating area would make a lovely al-fresco setting, particularly on a warm summer's evening. Unfortunately, I'd have to say it's not a restaurant I will be rushing back to.

How to make CORS work? Follow
I am trying to get CORS working with TeamCity but running into all manner of problems. I'm using JQuery in a file served from a local Apache server making REST queries against a TeamCity server which also happens to be local (for the sake of testing), but will eventually be remote.
Even so, I get CORS errors.
In TeamCity, the internal properties show up as
Yet, when I make a request for json, I get an error like
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://myserver.com:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/builds/?locator=count:10. Origin http://myserver.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin
This request is being made in JQuery GET but is coming through the browser as OPTIONS (because of cors preflight - and here, I'm not sure if it's Chrome, JQuery, or TC where I need to fix things)
If I make the request without the accepts header or an authorization header, the request is an expected GET but fails because of authorization. Using a URL like http://user:firstname.lastname@example.com doesn't work. Nor does JQuery's username/password get successful authorization.
So, I changed things around, I used jsonp with a callback. This actually worked but is returning XML - the application/json header is ignored because of the way jsonp is executed (via an injected SCRIPT block). Is there a way to specify json in the REST URL rather than relying solely on the Accept header?
Any advice or sample code of using CORS correctly to make requests?
Hi Andy,
With the authentication on OPTIONS requests, there is a known issue, but it should wirk fine in Chrome which supported authentication in OPTIONS requests last time I checked.
Not sure what you mean by jasonp requests as there is no support for those in TeamCity yet.
> Is there a way to specify json in the REST URL rather than relying solely on the Accept header?
By chance there is. You can add the URL parameter "?overrideAccept=application/json" to any request to override Accepts header. However, this is not a "documented feature" and can/will be changed in the future versions.
As CORS is not a simple topic and can be full of surprises, I'd recommend to do the CORS and TeamCity parts separately in order to isolate issues a bit. Once you get the code work with some simple CORS-enabled service (e.g. your own), you can try the same with TeamCity.
Anyway, any feedback on the REST API and it's CORS functioning is welcome!
Out of curiosity, what kind of application are you writing?
Thank you for the feedback. I'll have to do some more digging around this. There's a couple things that I'm trying to do with the REST API: 1) collect screenshot artifacts from recent builds into a page that's easier to work with; 2) review all builds by branch (which afaik is not possible in the web UI - you have to go project by project and filter on branches there)
It's possible these things would be better done with a plugin but it seemed like it'd be easier to work with JS and HTML than Java, an unfamiliar API, and a longer build cycle than refreshing a web page.
OK, sounds good.
Some small comments:
> 1) collect screenshot artifacts from recent builds into a page that's easier to work with;
You might also consider publishing an HTML page in the build artifacts with the screenshots embedded/linked. THe page can then be displayed as a report tab.
> 2) review all builds by branch (which afaik is not possible in the web UI - you have to go project by project and filter on branches there)
Do you mean you need a list of all builds on a specific branch across all the build configurations in some project? Indeed, there is no view like this now (other then project's change log filtered by branch with builds displayed).
What questions should the presentation answer? How would you want the list to be ordered if not by the build configuration?
Yes - we have lots of different projects that can be triggered by changes in git to our server-side code. When we work on a server-side feature branch, those runs are spread across projects but it would be nice to be able to see a page that is all the builds run against a specific branch. That's the sort of thing we're looking for. So, it would be like seeing all the branches running under a configuration, but different axis of organization - all the configurations running against a specific branch.
Thank you for the details.
Still not quite sure why branch filter on the project page does not address the need.
However, that's probbaly way too off the original topic of the thread, so we can put this off till some other discussion...

- Tim asked about whether Admins should be able to create Items directly (bypassing workflow) via POST requests?
- Others note this seems to already be possible in the Java API (via bulk CSV import?)
- However, all agree that it's not a high priority
- If this turns out to be complicated, we should drop POST from this endpoint. If it's easy enough, we can implement, but it should be restricted to Admins
- Also POST needs to somehow take in the Collection, as you cannot create an Item without a Collection

- Some disagreement over whether the approach of "null" EPersons is the proper one, or if it will turn into requiring more code than a "ghost user" would.
- ALL will add comments/thoughts to DS-4036 so we can finalize a decision on whether "null" EPersons are OK or not.

- DSpace + Docker Workshop. How to demo/play/develop with DSpace in Docker (both DSpace 6 and 7). (Presenters: Terry Brady & Pascal Becker)
- Ideally this would not conflict with main DSpace 7 workshop, or we'd find a way to tailor each to different audiences.

Nothing like brisk temperatures at a pro victory rally to re-energize your spirits! The Sheepdogs arrived early to this rally and waited patiently for the other side to show up. During this time, the Sheepdogs were treated to numerous honks of support by the passing motorists. In fact, during the entire rally, the motorists were clearly impressed with our display and positive message. The Sheepdog message speaks to the heart of American goodness and nobility and the public can't get enough of that. Lord knows we will need it in the coming four years.
The rally can be uplifting and educational as well. I had an object lesson on the importance of layers and that you need don many when outdoors in cold weather for an extended period of time.
It was a pleasure to welcome back NeoCon and his cameras. You can view his brilliance HERE.
You know it would not be a Sheepdog rally without a video:
We would love for you to join us! We rally every Saturday at the corner of High & Market Streets in West Chester, Pa from 10:45 till noon.
More photos of the rally can be found HERE

City of Pittsburgh and PWSA Release Draft City-Wide Green First Plan for Public Comment
Today, the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) released its comprehensive draft City-Wide Green First Plan for public comment. The plan outlines how Pittsburgh intends to use innovative, cost-effective, and green infrastructure approaches to manage stormwater. Implementing the plan will mitigate local street flooding and sewer backups caused by large rainstorms. The stormwater management practices outlined in the plan will help the City and the region comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) combined sewer overflow mandates and improve the quality of local waterways.

This is the kitchen. The living room is far worse. You may think this yet another Chaos Node, but I have a new name for it: Riverview.
Also known as the Mothhouse, although obviously there are several houses at Møll. But mine seems to be widely known as "the red house by the river", and so I am thinking of changing the name to Riverview. There are of course layers and layers of meaning to this.
Most obviously, "Riverview" is the name of the second neighborhood in Sims 3. It does not come with the game but is a free download, and was the only other neighborhood (after the included Sunset Valley) until the first expansion pack came out and the neighborhood creator tool was released. It is also my favorite. My SimSelf has lived there since his teens. It is also where I play my current Sims 3 game, the Doomed Adoptacy. But you would probably be reading my Sims Livejournal if that was what you were interested in.
The other part of the name Riverview is that in Nynorsk (New Norwegian) it can be directly translated as Åsyn. Å is an old name for river, although mostly replaced by the newer word "elv" now. "Syn" is a direct translation of view. However, the word Åsyn actually already is in use: It is a poetic, mostly religious, word for face. I believe you would normally use "countenance" in its place. "Let Thy countenance shine upon Thy servant."
Anyway, I am here! No, seriously! Not to hang up curtains and see if the water pipes are frozen. Not as a guest. I am home. Finally, I am home. In a house without other people and without other people's stuff. On the other hand, lots of my stuff. Too much of my stuff. And I have not even moved everything. The washing machine was left, because it was too late in the day, and the bedroom commode, and some of the food I think, and lots of power cables, and my stack of Magnus Robot Fighter comics. Even so, there is an insane amount of stuff. A sea of it. But there was that last time too. Most of it got stowed away eventually. The rest of it stood in its bags or crates until I took it here. This time it's for real. Each book that does not bear good fruit will be cut down. Yeah, verily. Probably.
Who will I be while I am here? I do not know for sure, but I noticed that as soon as I was alone, I started recalling more and more of an old hymn from Smith's Friends, one I had forgotten for years. Of course, this could likely be because it was an old friend from that church who helped me drive and also did the heaviest lifting. He helped me last time too, when I botched the move and had to suddenly get a lot of moving done in a very short time. Hopefully it will be a long time till next time. And hopefully there will be a lot less stuff. I intend to see to that.
We did throw away three big black garbage bags with stuff, including many computer games that I had saved last time but not opened, not even looked at, in the meantime. And there are still a bag or two of games that could have gone the same way. Some of the games that are gone were my favorites in the past, but if I have not touched them in 4 years, chances are I won't play them for the next five years either.
Even without those games and various other garbage that had not been visible until I moved, there still was a lot. A lot. I am quite tired and worn, even with my friend doing the heavier part of the lifting. I don't plan to unpack it all tonight, or even this weekend. Many (most?) of the books and comics I intend to move directly from their crates to carrying bags to take them to the used-book shop in the city. It is strange, I did not feel that I was able to part with them, now I don't feel they have a place in my life anymore. I should read books of the Truth. I should let the true Light shine into my life, so I can spread happiness in every direction.
First to my sims in Riverview…

Telehealth vs. Telemedicine
Telehealth is a broader term that includes the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health etc., the report notes. The various technologies involved are videoconferencing, the Internet, store-and-forward imaging. While telemedicine is different from telehealth as it provides a narrower scope of remote healthcare services. Telemedicine refers specifically to remote clinical services, while telehealth can refer to remote non-clinical services which include providing training, administrative meetings and continuing medical education.
Telemedicine is a subset of telehealth. It includes many medical subspecialties, such as telepediatrics, telepsychiatry, teleradiology and telecardiology. Specialties such as telepediatrics and telepsychiatry are practiced by using live video conferencing systems. In recent years, the term telehealth has risen as a favorable expansion upon telemedicine. The global market for telemedicine is expected to be worth more than $34 billion by the end of 2020. Driving growth in this market is an increasing aged population, increasing incidences of chronic diseases and the rapid rise of remote monitoring in tandem with virtual care. Many health care systems are trying to reduce both the number of hospital visits and the length of stay in the hospital, which has added to the growing trend for patients to be monitored in their home environment.
Specialized care just a click away for:
Patient Assessments
Assist staff in assessing overall condition, determining needs, and complying with MDS regulations and requirements.
Individualized Care Plans
Offers expertise in creating comprehensive programs including education, nutrition, adherence, and lifestyle changes.
Mental Health
Counseling in behavioral, emotional, and spiritual matters from qualified psychologists and psychiatrists.
Specialist review of smartphone images taken by nurses. Nurses can then be coached in how best to treat difficult cases.
Non-invasive remote cardiac monitoring of CHF and COPD patients supported by ICU level data (see NICaS).
Neurological exam and exercise program to improve muscle control, balance, speech, and attain higher function.
Medication Therapy Management
Reconciliation for polypharmacy patients to avoid adverse drug reactions and hospital readmissions.
Palliative and Hospice
Physical, emotional, and pain management for terminal patients combined with caregiver and family counseling.

On April 17 Rolling Stone columnist Andrew Leahey tried to counter pushback on Tim McGraw's Sandy Hook Promise gun control fundraiser by mocking Breitbart News's reporting and then downplaying the group's anti-gun agenda.
After covering Billy Currington's pullout from the event, Leahey described McGraw as a principled gun rights advocate who was standing his ground against a hate mob. "One champion of the Second Amendment who isn't backing down is McGraw, a gun owner and recreational hunter," he wrote.
Of course, to Leahey, the fact that McGraw faced any controversy at all is just the result of silly outrage from right-wingers–crediting this author as the source of McGraw's "trouble."
He described Breitbart News as "a conservative website whose recent headlines include 'Zoinks!: Clinton Parks "Scooby" Van in Handicap Space — Just Behind Vacant Spot!' and 'Bruce Willis and Demi Moore Daughter: Nipples Represent Equality.'"
These titles have nothing to do with McGraw, Chase Bryant, or gun control. This tactic is purely a red herring to tarnish Breitbart's credibility based on two tongue-in-cheek takes on news stories. Rolling Stone, which recently had to retract a massive article–yet did not punish any of the responsible staff–is not exactly in a great place to taunt others about journalistic credibility.
Then, Leahey tried to argue that Sandy Hook Promise–the beneficiary of the gun control fundraiser–is benign to begin with.
He wrote:
Sandy Hook Promise, whose mission statement is to "protect children from gun violence so no other parent experiences the loss of their child," doesn't see itself as an anti-gun organization. The NPO's website lists mental wellness programs and "firearm safety and security" as its main areas of focus, even offering tips for proper gun storage ("Make sure your guns are stored unloaded and separate from ammunition") in a downloadable PDF.
What Leahey didn't mention is that Sandy Hook Promise endorses and rallies behind gun control measures in states around the union.
For example, he did not mention that Sandy Promise opposed Georgia's Safe Carry Protection Act in 2014, an act which expands the number of places citizens with a concealed carry permit can carry a gun. This is a bill that allows law-abiding citizens to have guns at the ready for self-defense in more places, but Sandy Hook Promise opposed it.
Ironically, they particularly opposed the fact that the bill would allow teachers to be armed to defend students in case of attack. They voiced their opposition by citing concerns that armed teachers might endanger students.
Leahey did not mention that Sandy Hook Promise supports Oregon's SB 941, which will open the door to legalized gun confiscation in that state. Oregon Live reported that laws on the books already ban gun possession by people who undergo inpatient care, but SB 941 broadens that policy so judges will "determine" whether an individual ordered to receive outpatient mental care is unfit for gun possession.
Nor did Leahey mention that Sandy Hook Promise supports the federal background check bill put forth by Democrats and supported by Gabby Giffords in early March. This is a push for gun control for the sake of gun control, which is why this author covered the announcement of the push with a column titled, "Gabby Giffords: Everyone Should Have To Pass Background Check My Attacker Passed."
The headline, which drew the ire of left-wing media, is entirely accurate. Giffords' attacker–Jared Loughner–passed a background check to acquire the gun with which he attacked her, yet Giffords, Capitol Hill Democrats, and Sandy Hook Promise are still pushing background checks as a way to curb gun violence.
Think about this– Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Aaron Ybarra (Seattle Pacific University), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Jared Loughner (Tucson), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), and Naveed Haq (Seattle), all passed background checks for their firearms.
Two gunmen that didn't bother with background checks–Jacob Roberts (Clackamas Town Center) and Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook)–stole their weapons, so no amount of gun control would have stopped them.
The pattern is clear. Sandy Hook Promise is supporting gun control measures around the country which will ultimately place restrictions on law-abiding citizens–who don't need to be controlled–rather than criminals. And, like Rolling Stone, McGraw is ignoring this very clear pattern in his decision to help their gun control fundraiser.

Video Transcript: Working Together to Fight Spam
Spam is irritating, it can also be threatening, housing malicious malware, viruses and other cyber threats.
Spam thrives because spammers profit from it.
So, what do we do about spam?
To start, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation requires a consent and an "unsubscribe" option, making it harder for spammers to succeed.
So what can you do to help us?
Report spam!
Canadians report thousands of spam messages to us every week. We use this information to investigate malware, false and misleading advertising as well as spyware.
Each report of spam is valuable. They all form a piece of the puzzle that helps us go after the worst offenders.
Violators can face severe penalties of up to $10 million dollars for each violation.
Our main goal is to protect you and make spammers think twice about sending spam to Canadians.
Together, we can fight spam.

February 2018
SAUDI Arabia's SR978 billion ($260 billion) budget for 2018 is sending a strong signal that the government is serious about supporting the economy, especially the non-oil sector, and pursuing its Vision 2030 objectives, said the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) in its latest Economic Update.
The expansionary budget will also be supplemented by an additional SR133 billion ($35 billion) from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the National Development Fund (NDF).
Revenue projections appear to be based on an oil price of $59 per barrel (bbl), with minimal scope for crude production gains given Saudi Arabia's commitment to an extension of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) production cut agreement to end-2018.
As a statement of intent, the 2018 budget is a powerful one. Not only is this the largest ever budget – more than a trillion Saudi riyals if the PIF/NDF outlays are included – but it is also one designed to send a strong signal to economic actors both inside and outside the kingdom that the government is serious about supporting the economy, especially the non-oil sector, and pursuing its Vision 2030 strategic objectives.
The authorities have recognised that they must slow down the pace of austerity so as not to imperil the economic recovery.
With SR655 billion ($175 billion) in government deposits at the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (Sama) and $493 billion in foreign reserve assets as of October 2017 as well as a burgeoning domestic and international bond and sukuk programme, the kingdom has the space to adopt an expansionary fiscal stance and slow down the pace of austerity.
This is in effect what the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has prescribed in its consultations with the authorities, the report said.
The 2018 budget will mitigate some of the impact on discretionary spending that the introduction of VAT and the removal of subsidies are having. At the same time, the authorities aim to ramp up capital spending and stimulate the private sector (through 16 initiatives directed at the real estate, manufacturing and export sectors, worth SR72 billion, or $19.2 billion in 2018). Boosting employment in the private sector is a key medium-term target.
Actual spending in 2017 came in 4 per cent above budget and 12 per cent higher than in 2016 at SR926 billion ($246 billion); capital spending declined by 2 per cent year-on-year (yoy) to its lowest level as a share of total expenditures (19 per cent) since 2006, after the government rationalised infrastructure projects and improved efficiency.
Actual revenues in 2017 came in marginally higher than budgeted and 34 per cent higher than in 2016 at SR696 billion ($185 billion); non-oil revenues rose by a sizable 38 per cent yoy to SR256 billion ($68 billion) as a result of increases in investment income and taxes and duties, such as the excise and expatriate dependents' tax. Oil revenues were up 32 per cent in 2017 following a rise of 27 per cent in the oil export price.
Real growth in 2017 is estimated at -0.5 per cent yoy (vs NBK's forecast of -1.3 per cent yoy), with oil GDP declining by 3.1 per cent yoy (vs NBK's -3.7 per cent yoy) and non-oil GDP growing by 1.5 per cent yoy (vs. NBK's 0.5 per cent yoy) In 2018, the authorities expect the economy to expand by 2.7 per cent, driven by the non-oil sector, which is projected to grow by 3.7 per cent.
Inflation is expected at -0.1 per cent in 2017 (vs NBK's forecast of -0.2 per cent) and 5.7 per cent in 2018 (vs NBK's 2.9 per cent), following the imposition of VAT at 5 per cent and a further round of energy price hikes, which was recently announced.

Eutychianism was a heresy in the 4th and 5th centuries begun by a monk named Eutychus (378-452, AD). He lived in Constantinople. Eutychus taught that Christ's humanity was absorbed in his divinity. He was condemned and deposed from the Monastery in A.D. 448 and then finally exiled at the council of Chalcedon in 451.

And in other series of events!
Dear Family and Friends,
This last couple of days have been interesting! I completely forgot about transfer calls, but they actually were coming to us through email! Hooray for transfer emails!
Well, on that note, I better announce what's going down! I am.... Moving to Shonan! Which is right next to the ocean! I'll finally get to see the ocean for the second time in my whole life! Hooray! (The first time was when we were all on the bus from the airport to the Mission Home, and the Elder who was AP at the time, Elder Call, pointed out the Tokyo Bay. )
Well, I should talk about the whole week. We had a lot of things going on, like Companion Exchanges, and transfer calls, preparing for Elder McCarty's last Sunday! He's going home! He's been my zone leader for practically my whole mission, except for my second transfer, and then this last transfer, he was a traveling Assistant with Elder Rockwood. It will be sad to see him go home. Him and Sister Clark, and Elder Fernelius! I've now worked with all of them. But the others I haven't worked with, but I know are Sister Feist(I read her blog to help me prepare for missionary work in Japan!), and Sister Jones, who is my current Companion's trainer way back when we first came.
My new companion will be the first missionary I ever met at the MTC! She was the one who picked me up at the curb where I was dropped off. :) it was cool to learn that she was going to Japan Tōkyō South mission too!
Lastly, I want to talk about the amazing conference we had in Nakano this last week. Actually, it was yesterday! I felt like I was learning at the feet of the Savior. I'm so grateful that I could go. The conference was a special conference, and Elder Ballard came to Japan, with Bishop Gary E Stevenson, Elder Ringwood, Elder Aoyagi, and Elder Whiting. It was so beautiful. You could feel so deeply his love for each and every one of us, and we got to shake his hand at the very end, even though there were over four hundred of us! I hope I may never forget the days I have the privilege of shaking hands with a special leader called by the Savior to help direct and guide us.
I hope you all know that the Savior lives and died for us. Do you understand that? If you do, then join the ranks, and be a missionary. As long as you understand that, you are a missionary, whether or not you are called to be a full time missionary. This is God's work. Have you prayed to know whether the missionaries are true messengers from God? If not, get on your knees and ask. That's all it takes. Get on your knees, and pray from your heart to know if we are true messengers. This work goes on, with or without us, but it is up to us to grab the tools, and join in the work, because the harvest is great, and it brings great happiness and joy! I love this work!
And I love you, all of you!
Thank you!
Dear Family and Friends.
There is no time for email today, but I'll do my best to give you the best email I can!
So, we've been in HACHIŌJI. It's close to the end of the transfer. We have a super awesome conference coming up, and it will be in the Japan Tōkyō Mission. We'll be going up there for once! Hooray! Elder Ballard is coming. It will be a great conference. I am excited.
Well, we haven't been able to reach the same amount that we did last week, as far as inviting people to church, but it's been a great week!
Let me see if I can remember.
We had lessons, and activities, and it was just amazing.
There were a few Valentine's activities, but we had a Meet the Mormons movie night! :) yeah! We watched Meet the Mormons in English with our English class students, and with many ward members who came. I really love that movie.
On Thursday, we had president interviews. It was a good interview. I learned a lot. I really love this mission.
On Friday,there was a sister training meeting in Kichijōji, which was spectacular. Sister Padelsky(my trainer), Sister Hokanson(my follow up trainer), and Sister Gappmeyer ( if I spelled it right..... Was my senpai at the mtc!) taught an exercise training. It was great, hilarious, and exhausting. We learned how to exercise pray, exercise reading scriptures, and to run away from dogs that don't like us, and it was a great way to learn different exercises to practice in the morning, especially when one runs out of ideas on exercise.
Then, there was the movie night! It was great!
The next day, there was a talent show in Takao! Hooray Takao! I sang a Capella "lead kindly light" and totally botched the words. ^.^ the only ones who noticed were the missionaries, which makes up about half the people there. ^.^;;
Though after, people came and told me it was beautiful.
Then, there was church. And I love church.
Well, I'll leave it there.
Today, I had the opportunity to share my testimony with a girl on the train, and felt it strong. I know this church is true! I love the joy I have from it!
Want to share more, but I have no time this week. Still waiting for the new iPad to come. ^.^;;
So I'm using my companion's today. Love you all!
Sister Blake
One day
Dear Family and Friends,
What a week this has been!
I went on Exchanges with Yamaguchi Shimai, and we decided to Heart
Attack the Bishop and his family. Secretly. Well, our cover was blown
when we made it to their neighborhood, and then we saw a girl happily
running up to us to give us a big hug! It was one of the bishop's
daughters! "What are you doing near my house?" She asked. We didn't
want her to know we were going to heart attack her house. "Missionary
work" we said, which didn't seem to appease her, as she continued to
press for questions. Eventually we broke, and asked for her help to
keep it a secret. "You'd better hurry! Mom's going to be coming home
any minute!" Oh no!
We ran and taped all the hearts onto the door, only to get caught by
the other daughters, and then have the mom come home. We tried
escaping by running behind the house, but we were totally caught! She
saw us! It sure was fun though.
It snowed twice these last weeks! It's fun to introduce my companion
from Australia to things like, "oh, watch out, here's a patch of Black
ice" and stuff. :) guess it doesn't snow there.
It's fun to tell people who we are, and what we're doing, and then to
invite them. We had another Family History blitz, where many
missionaries get together and all work to introduce people to family
history! It was fun! We had so many great conversations!
That day was Saturday, and we had district Meeting in the morning.
I feel like so much happened!
Oh! And I received an awesome letter from the Young Women's group in
my home Ward!,!,!! Yay! Happy Valentine's Day!
At first, I couldn't put the puzzle together at all, but somehow
today, it just came together! Thank you!
It was the first week that we were able to give our hearts out to
missionary work and see the results firsthand. We talked and invited
38 people to come and see what church is about, by actually coming to
church, or learning for themselves through the lessons we teach, on
Saturday. I can't express how impossible that seemed just the days
before when we couldn't even ask three or four people in a single day.
I know that the Lord inspires us to make goals, and then He gives us
the means whereby we may achieve them. Our goal that one day was 50,
but even though we didn't meet the crazy goal, it made us work hard,
and we saw miracles.
I love the people here, and we really want to help Hachioji, not just
on the outside, but in the inside, too! Love you all! Do your best to
hold to the iron rod!
Sister Blake
Picture! Christ is the Reason for Love!
I'll make this short
Dear Family and Friends,
How is everyone? Are you as well as I am? Are you happy jolly?
Well, it's been a week of great and mighty miracles. Even just today,
there were so many. I am grateful to be doing the work of the Lord,
and to have "embarked". (D&C4)
Well, as a highlight to the week, I was asked to be a translator at
the Zone Meeting this last week. It was rough, but I enjoyed it. I
think that those I did translation for understood at least parts of
Well, what do I say about the work? It's really superduper amazing in Hachioji.
Love you all,
Sister Blake

Dear friends! In my resume I wrote that I am a collector of works of art, I have a good collection and asked: to replenish, if possible, my collection.
In this regard, I want to say that several artists responded, who generously enriched my collection.
I'll tell you about one of them (other people will also be grateful). This Kirov artist Yuri Zhdanov, a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, a member of Russian designers.
Yuri Borisovich is a professor and scientific supervisor at the Moscow Finance and Law Academy. He leads not only active pedagogical work, but also actively show his works to the public.
He is an active member of our exhibitions in the format of the Artist's Book. Today I received from him two new books for the November exhibition and, taking this opportunity, he generously supplemented my collection with author's works. This is 58 letters (favorites from three sets) in the "bestial" style. Wonderful miniatures format 150х150 mm. They are executed both in black and white version (capillary pen), and in color, as well as in Russian and English.
I sincerely thank Yuri, I wish him new creative successes and put a few initial letters on the site as samples.
I will add that Yuri Borisovich has a "Building Alphabet" (with elements of building materials and structures), "Yaichnitsa" (fried еggs) and others. Everything is very interesting, original, with great taste and imagination.
From myself I will say that it would be very good if there is a publisher who not only publishes such ABCs for children and adults, but, perhaps, any book with his letters and illustrations.

One of the best pieces of "advice" I have to give on keeping life simple is to walk- just walk. Why wait for a bus when you could walk? Have a problem? Go for a walk and participate in some simple meditation! Too many carbs (ahem) making your jeans tight? Ditch the car and walk! A walk can be so peaceful and connecting.
There are so many discoveries to be made on a daily walk- on our walks to an from school we are witnessing the changing of the seasons- the leaves are starting to turn colour and fall, the light is changing- when one walks one has the time to luxuriate in these changes. Even in the city nature is everywhere- waking is a great way to connect with it.
We have all heard or more recently read that French women don't get fat- now I have never been to France but from what I hear the French female figure can be partially contributed to all the walking that the French do. To the schools, markets, grocery shops- the French walk everywhere and then they can eat all those delicious little croissant!
I find that if life is getting too hectic or I am just feeling overwhelmed a good walk puts everything back in it's place. Nothing beats trying to work out a sewing pattern or project problem like a good solitary walk does.
Of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention the obvious environmental benefits of walking- leaving the car at home forces us to do a few things- first of all when on foot we tend to stay more localized- a little closer to home means we are spending money in our communities. We also tend to buy less- when on foot I always consider a large scale purchase- how would I get this giant mirror home for example- which inevitably leads to the question- do I really need it- not so much as it often turns out! Saving the gas and miles on the car for when we really need it not only benefits the environment but our waistlines as well!
Friends it is Friday yet again! I am super excited to do not much of anything this weekend- waffles and coffee are a possibility and a trip to Bird on a Wire over on Main Street to visit with the creator of Rice Babies is a most definite! If you are in the Main St area Kellie will be the artist in the window from 11- 4 on Saturday! Friends I hope you all have a wonderful weekend- may some magic land in your path and if not there is always more coffee! Happy Friday!

There's a slew of current television programs designed to make us ponder our human condition and maybe improve it. For example, NBC's The Good Place quirkishly weaves philosophical and theological ideas into very funny half-hour installments. This Is Us is a poignant, tear-seeking drama about the ties that bind us. HBO's The Leftovers urges us to consider grief and loss, subjects we're all bound to experience. But, the one ongoing television program which effortlessly speaks to our humanity and what we can do to improve our station is Food Network's cooking competition, Chopped.
You might disagree, but in my effort to become a contestant on the show's bloggers episode (it's not scheduled yet, but I'm officially tossing my hat in the ring for the day it is, Chopped producers) I've been binge-watching the show. Now nearly 10 years old and in its 37th season, the show is a contest between four cooks, who create epicurean delights over three, timed rounds. They're given mystery basket ingredients and attempt to avoid being "chopped" by a panel of judges. These culinary experts have become celebrities in their own right, thanks to Chopped's ongoing appeal.
My brother is the true food expert in our family. I consider myself his sous chef when we grill for our friends and family at tailgates. We started cooking competitively and placed third a few years back in Saint Arnold Brewery's One-Pot Showdown, just behind cooks from Underbelly. I started watching Chopped to learn more about food and how to bring more excitement to our cooking endeavors; but, while watching hour after hour of my favorite TV show, I gathered a lot more than new recipes or cooking techniques. Sometimes they're subtle as a pinch of nutmeg and occasionally they're as jarring as heaping tablespoons of cayenne, but in every episode of Chopped there are plenty of reminders on how we can all live better lives. Here are 10 examples:
No one steps into the Chopped kitchen without ample preparation. Most participants are cooks who have studied their craft and/or worked in kitchens for years. Those who aren't culinary pros, like the celebrities and everyday Joes and Josephines who are invited for special episodes, tell the camera they've practiced for weeks ahead of their appearances. They remind us that approaching any challenge is less daunting when we've done the work to put ourselves in positions to succeed.
There are all sorts of examples of this in Chopped, particularly those focusing on healthy eating, like "Healthy Rivalry," (Season 27, Episode 2) and "Clean Eatin," (S32, E1). One of my favorite contestants ever is Deborah Caplan, whose self-esteem blossomed before viewers' eyes with a Chopped championship and a return visit that made her something of a culinary darling. The most moving instance came during Season 26's "Chopped Catwalk," episode. The contest thrust four working or former models into competition. The winner and runner-up had both battled eating disorders as models and turned to food to restore healthy images and lifestyles to their own lives. Ashley Holt and Danika Brysha delivered exquisite meals and eloquent emotions in the episode.
If I have one quibble with my favorite food show, it's that Houston has been woefully under-represented in its episodes. True food enthusiasts know our city is a culinary wonder, rife with James Beard Award nominees. It's a place where palates are thrilled by a diverse melting pot just bubbling over with tasty goodness. But, it took the program 27 seasons, by my count, to bring a Houston chef to its kitchen. Hundreds of episodes passed and featured cooks from places like Evanston, Illinois and Monroe, Louisiana before H-town ever got an invite. Outrageous. When Houston chefs compete, no matter how they fare, I root for them because there's a special sense of pride in knowing those with similar values and experiences are representing your own to a world at-large.
Watch any episode of the series and you'll notice that everyone – from host Ted Allen, to judges like Scott Conant and Alex Guarnaschelli and especially the participants – exudes self-confidence. They're imbued with self-positivity. Did that help them achieve success or is the confidence a by-product of their accomplishments? Who knows? The point is, confidence and success go together like cinnamon and sugar. People who lack self-assurance often stumble over life's hurdles. The inability to believe in one's own abilities, however meager they may seem, can be crushing. You may not become a champion (at Chopped or any other endeavor) solely from self-confidence; but, without it you're not even in the competition.
Each episode ends essentially the same way, with a singular "Chopped champion." That means three-quarters of the show's participants have gone home losers. Some are lemon-bitter and make futile, after-the-fact cases for their defeats (Boston chef Andy Husbands comes to mind after a Grill Masters loss to champion Megan Day); but most have shown great humility and recognized they simply were outcooked. It's important to be confident in one's abilities. It's equally important to acknowledge the gifts and strengths of others and to appreciate those traits in others. On Chopped, those moments are genuine because most participants understand the difficulties their fellow chefs have endured to make a mark in the culinary world.
Some of my favorite episodes are the series' "redemption challenges." Runners-up from past episodes are invited back to the kitchen for a second chance at glory. These episodes remind us that, though we may fail at times, there's something to be gleaned from those moments. If we learn from our mistakes, we can create new opportunities from them. Second chances matter.
Those who succeed on the show are typically the ones who can make a silky meal from a sow's ear – literally, at least in the case of the Chopped Champions finale, (S14 E6). Creative, out-of-the-basket thinkers don't always become Chopped champions, but their efforts to transform mundane basket items into something truly unique count for a lot. They take chances, which sometimes fall short, but always prove more interesting. In life, tackling any issue with creative verve is a good skill. Adding some creative color to an already vibrant life keeps one's days riveting and exciting.
The show's judges are highly accomplished restaurateurs. Some, like Aaron Sanchez (Texas-born!) began cooking as kids in their family restaurants. They're graduates of some of the world's most notable culinary schools or have apprenticed with renowned master chefs. Watching Chopped, it's clear that their opinions are important to those receiving their critiques. Hearing how you might improve from those who are successful is a good practice in the real world, too.

The best chefs on the show repeatedly taste their creations as they're creating them. They do this to ensure what they ultimately deliver is something flavorful. Symbolically, the act reminds us to savor our lives' experiences and to take stock in what we're bringing to the figurative table. If things seem bland, we can then add the spice that makes for more interesting moments.
Anyone who's watched Chopped knows that the participants' true nemesis isn't another chef or any of the judges – it's time. Each round's meal must be completed within a specific time frame and mismanagement of the clock often leads to unfortunate results. In life, we know that one day we'll be "chopped." Because the clock's ticking, we should always strive to use our time wisely to create a masterpiece for ourselves and others to enjoy. If you haven't been using your time wisely and to the fullest extent, why not begin doing so? As the show's host, Ted Allen, would say, "Clock starts now!"
