At the risk of displeasing innocent ears I propose . . .
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.
. . . that the mother of a creative man who achieves prominence has conveyed to her son a feeling of great "specialness" in herself, which she has passed on to him. It is as if she says, "You have something unique, better than your father, and you get it all from me."
Margaret Brenman-Gibson, Clifford Odets: American Playwright.
Freud recorded an anxiety-ridden dream of his mother's death, from his seventh or eighth year; correspondingly, she too once reported a dream of her son's death. By then she was an old woman, for whom dying was not a distant prospect. In her dream she was at Sigmund's funeral, and around his casket were arrayed the heads of state of the major European nations. For an old mother, even a Jewish one, to experience such a dream is not implausible, but to permit an account of having dreamed of such a catastrophe to cross her lips because it depicted the fame her beloved son had achieved, does reveal something about the nature of her own yearnings which had been satisfied through her son's career.
Paul Roazen, Freud and His Followers.
He was eleven or twelve, sitting with his parents in one of the restaurants in the Prater, Vienna's famous park. A strolling poetaster was wandering from table to table, improvising for a few coins little verses on any theme proposed to him. "I was sent off to ask the poet to our table and he showed himself grateful to the messenger. Before inquiring for his topic, he dropped a few verses about me and, inspired, declared it probable that some day I would become a cabinet minister."
Peter Gay, Freud: A Life for Our Time.
Amalie must have cherished the heroic prophesies that were made about Freud in his early years. More personally for her, [her] dream, at least according to her son's theory, may also have expressed a hidden meaning through a thematic polarity. For through the multiplication of father figures she may have been accentuating the opposite of the dream's manifest content—that Freud really belonged to her alone and that he was more her son than his father's. Simultaneously, for dreams can have many levels, this dream may have been an attempt at compensation for the loss of her son; she might no longer have him, but she was assured that the world did.
Paul Roazen, Freud and His Followers.
In Nate's last dream there is a multiplication of father figures: his brother David, and his father, Nathaniel. Perhaps this is actually a screen for the underlying theme of the dream, Nate's mother. Perhaps the ocean in Nate's dream represents his mother. Viewed in light of these observations, the theme of Nate's mother is actually overdetermined in the dream.
The term narcissistic elation was coined by Béla Grunberger (1971/1979) to describe the state of prenatal beatitude, which according to him characterizes the life of the fetus: a state of megalomaniacal happiness amounting to a perfect homeostasis, devoid of needs or desires. The ideal here is bliss experienced in absolute withdrawal from the object and from the outside world. Narcissistic elation is at once the memory of this unique and privileged state of elation; a sense of well-being of completeness and omnipotence linked to that memory, and pride in having experienced this state, pride in its (illusory) oneness.
Narcissistic elation is characteristic of an object relationship that is played out, in its negative version, as a state of splendid isolation, and, in its positive version, as a desperate quest for fusion with the other, for a mirror-image relationship. It involves a return to paradise lost and all that is attached to this idea: fusion, self-love, megalomania, omnipotence, immortality, and invulnerability.
After birth, the infant continues to enjoy the protonarcissistic existence as before, and this is reinforced by the fact that people around it, in particular the mother, meet all its needs and wishes. This state of illusion is soon compromised, however, as inevitable frustrations begin to occur. The traces of this state of elation and megalomania, based on the notions of harmony and omnipotence, nevertheless provide a source of psychic energy that will remain active throughout life. The child, and later the adult, will seek to preserve and return to this narcissistic mode of being, notably through music, passionate love, or mystical ecstasy. Perhaps, after all, what fascinated Narcissus was the sight—beyond his own reflection—of the amniotic water, and the deep, regressive promise of happiness that it held out.

Waretini-Karena, David/Rawiri (2012) Takitoru: From parallel to partnership: A ritual of engagement based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi for implementing safe cultural practice in Māori counselling and social science. MAI Journal, 1 (1). pp. 61-75. ISSN 2230-6862
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://journal.mai.ac.nz/sites/default/files/artic...
Abstract or Summary
Takitoru is a framework developed to support Māori counselling students to understand the impacts of historical intergenerational trauma across generations. The focus of this framework examines unseen contributing factors supporting deficit statistics that continue to dominate Māori communities. Essentially students are invited to participate and interpret personal genealogy in the context of colonisation to explore influences, and effects. This paper addresses training Indigenous counselling students simultaneously in affirmative Indigenous worldviews, as well as critiquing the impact of colonisation on themselves, their clients and their wider community. The overall goal is to give students an insight into historical intergenerational trauma so that when they engage with Māori clientele they also understand some of the historical contexts that underpin working with Māori.

This vineyard lies in the heart of the Adelaide Hills on Wenzel Rd south-east of Oakbank. David and Sue Cherry (nee O'Leary) planted this site in 1990. The Adelaide Hills is arguably one of the best regions in Australia for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The soil profile is brown loam with limestone and slate schist, contributing to good drainage and moderate vigour. The elevation of this cool climate region consistently offers a natural balanced acidity to this single vineyard wine.
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is handpicked and whole bunches are gently pressed. A cool controlled ferment over 10 days with 100% malolactic fermentation. Some oak influence results in a textured and complex base. The wine is triaged for a minimum of 2 years and disgorged annually. The time on lees gives delightful autolysis and maturation notes, hallmarks of fine sparkling.
Nick Walker, David O'Leary
Pale straw with a slight pink tinge.
Complex and toasty. Strawberry shortbread. Yeast complexity and a beautiful fine bead.
Finesse, balanced acidity with a nougat creamy palate and delicate finish.
A great aperitif style. Perfect accompaniment to Salmon Row Hor d'oeuvres.
As this is aged on triaged lees it is ready for consumption immediately post disgorgement.
Hurtle Walker first picked grapes at Magill as a 10 year old in 1900. Trained by Monsieur Duray and the great Leon Mazure, by 21 years of age, he was in charge of sparkling wine making for Auldana. After service in the Great War, Hurtle became the sparkling winemaker at neighbouring Romalo Cellars, where he stayed involved until his death in 1975. His son, Norm was winemaker there from 1951 to 1985, making premium sparkling wines for Wynns and 57 other companies. To keep us fizzing, Nick Walker, Norm's son, made this luxurious blend in honour of not only his Grandfather but his families passion for sparkling wines.

Sir John Lubbock :
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
Up early this morning, about 5am - after yesterday's wintry weather, a forecast of 24℃ promised a beautiful day ahead. I decided to take a walk along the perimeter of the fence around our smallholding and it revealed a few lovely surprises. I came upon this section of our fence that seemed to be highly prized by the termites! Not only had they almost decimated my lawn this winter, it seems nothing is beyond their reach. So obviously these poles will have to be replaced, there were about seven of them, and we will also have to paint all the wooden ones with Creosote. In case you're not familiar with Creosite, it is the portion of chemical products obtained by the distillation of a tar that remains heavier than water, notably useful for its anti-septic and preservative properties. It is black in colour with an extremely strong tar smell and is great for keeping any wood safe from insects.
I also came across some lovely wild flowers. This beauty looks SO much like a potato flower I was almost tempted to dig it up!
Circling around the back of the house, I passed Solly (our mechanic and general factotum) at the borehole pump, filling up the water tanks. We stood for a while, chatting, and he told me has going to tend his vegetable patch today, as well is fix his chicken coop as the neighbours' dogs had already killed four of his chickens.
I said goodbye and as I approached the blue gum bush, I spotted a little patch of grass and some Dandelions - these little flowers (I call them flowers, not weeds) always seem to catch my attention, so I stopped and took a couple of photos.
Returning around the other side of the house, I just had to stop and take a photo of my Avocado tree. Believe it or not, but this tree was started with an Avo pip in a glass of water, transplanted several times into different size pots and eventually, when it was too big for any pot, I planted it here next to one of our water tanks. A Privet sprung up next to it, but I've left it as it somewhat protects the Avo from frost during the winter. It has never borne any fruit and is about 8m high now. The Avo tree is on the right.
Mid-morning we took a drive out to Magaliesburg Country Hotel for their stunning breakfast buffet they serve on Sundays and spent a relaxing morning with hubby reading the Sunday papers and me reading my favourite blogs on my Samsung Galaxy tablet, sharing news as we sat sipping our coffees.
On our drive home, we stopped at one of the many little dams dotting the route and I fed the Coots, who always love the bread I take along with me (this time pinched from the toast basket at breakfast!)
Upon our return, there was an Egyptian Goose sitting on the wall next to the gate, letting her discontent be known as as the car stopped, but amazingly, she never flew off and I managed a quick shot before pulling the car into the driveway.
How did you spend your Sunday?

Join us at 5:00 pm on Friday, May 19, 2017 at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for the documentary premiere of El Buen Cristiano, followed by a presentation from Director Isabel Acevedo and a reception.
In 1982 José Efraín Ríos Montt, a born-again Christian, military officer and politician, led a military coup. His military government was responsible for one of the most terrible and violent episodes in Guatemala's thirty-six year civil war. Francisco Chavez Raymundo and his sister were small children when the Rios government annihilated their Mayan community. In March 2013 the lives of Francisco Chavez and Ríos Montt again converged, as both were called to testify at Ríos' trial for crimes against humanity.

New political and journalistic leaders are beginning to emerge that have rallied around Ron Paul's presidential aspirations as a potent symbol of their movement. These leaders are considered to be "anti-establishment" by their followers who believe the mainstream politics of the two-party system is a failure and caters only to the special interests of the "elite," and not to the interests of the middle class. These rising leaders include figures such as Josh Tolley, Adam Kokesh, Randi Shannon, and Representative Justin Amash.
Josh Tolley, an independent who refers to himself as a "preservative" meaning that he wants to preserve affiliation to the people and not parties, is a rising leader in the growing, self-described "Liberty Movement." He discusses topics ranging from religion and politics to business and travel on his talk radio show for the Genesis Communications Network. His show airs 9am to 11am Central from Monday to Friday with over 5 million combined listeners in over 100 countries (Tolley). In the process, Tolley educates his audience on his perspective of limited government and provides his own analytical insight of the Constitution in the process.
He often hosts guests on his show, such as Randi Shannon who is running for Iowa State Senate. Tolley also established a YouTube page where he uploads every audio recording of his weekday radio show. This unique and ingenious method has attracted an audience with a more broad range of "liberal" or "conservative" ideals who all identify with his "freedom message," and has simultaneously shared his supporters with the growing movement at a more local level.
Tolley is the Freedom Festival 2012 spokesperson, a festival scheduled during the GOP Tampa Convention, located in Tampa, that is expected to welcome Americans from across the spectrum of political affiliation. Sources recently revealed to me that the Libertarian candidate for president this year, Gary Johnson, will be a guest speaker along with his VP running mate.
Gary Johnson has released a PDF comparison chart of himself and the other two primary presidential candidates, attempting to appeal to libertarian and independent voters. The chart is supposed to convey each candidates' true personal messages of liberty through their voting record. The Freedom Festival site displays a quote from Tolley on the about page referring to specific beliefs the festival is geared towards:
"We're a growing group of RON PAUL SUPPORTERS, TEA PARTY ACTIVISTS, LIBERTARIANS and other politically affiliated Americans who believe the time has come to form a new CONSTITUTIONAL MOVEMENT where citizens rights and freedom's are put first over politics, capital cronyism and the nanny state."
I was recently able to reach Tolley to ask him a couple questions on future plans:
What do you hope to accomplish with the Freedom Festival 2012? "First, I want to continue fight to advance liberty, defend freedom, and hold government leaders responsible in a manner that Ron Paul has championed for so long. Second, I want the liberty movement to expand as we welcome freedom lovers from all political backgrounds, and third, I want to send a message to the political establishment that the days of parties blindly leading my fellow countrymen off the proverbial cliff are over. The people are becoming educated, motivated, and strategic in their involvement towards their nation. Once again becoming an active citizenry."
"Do you have any more future plans to help orchestrate the "Liberty Movement?" "Yes, I have a number of events booked that carry political weight and look forward to expanding those efforts greatly. In addition I'm working on two major projects outside my show in an effort to advance the liberty movement. One is a documentary film (my first) entitled "Foreign and Domestic: Exposing America's True Enemies" and the other is the formation and launch of a television network; LiberTV, which will finally give the majority of Americans who don't want political divide as a resource for news, info, and entertainment."
It appears that even with the recent message from Ron Paul, informing his mostly libertarian and independent supporters that he is ceasing to campaign, but not dropping out, that the Liberty Movement is just as robust as ever.

SASCON is most known for their two day conference once a year but the organisers also bring a smaller version of the event, which is much more focussed topic wise and is only half a day. Last week SASCON organised an afternoon about mobile and local.
Introduction to SASCON
Kristal Ireland (@Kristalsmile) introduced the Conference talking about SASCON's successful background over the past few years and how it is supporting the local community around Manchester.
Ben McKay (@yetanoutherben) – Money Supermarket
Then came an introduction from Ben McKay about digital convergence and how all of money supermarket's on-line teams are now working together with the main focus on traffic and sales and they are moving away from the strict SEO marketing focus which has historically led Money Supermarket's strategy.
Guy Levine (@guylevine) – CEO of Return on Digital
Mobile SEO
Guy discussed some of his background into Digital and how his company Return on Digital Started. He then went on to discuss Mobile Social and Local using the common marketing phrases of "SoLoMo". His initial focus looked into Mobile with his key principle being "Mobilastion" and not "Miniaturisation" he continued to discuss some of the failures that companies make while make sites smaller not actually more mobile.
He over viewed Mobile APP's and some of the restrictions that you have as an app creator you are still restricted to the rules of the applicable app store and who should you design for. Next he looked at Web Apps, his recommendation was avoiding duplicate content with using Rel = Canonical from your mobile site.
A question was asked at the end of his talk about the use of Rel = Canonical over just directing the relevant robot to either the desktop or mobile version of the site, Guy expressed how Rel= Canonical had worked successfully for his clients.
His personal Preference when it came to Mobile was creating a responsive designed site, he commented that this can be expensive and a full site restructure may be needed, but the advantage is that you whole links strategy is pushed to the one site.
Mobile SEO Keyword Research
Mobile users are more inclined to search using broader keywords, look at the auto complete suggestions from Google in a Mobile search for ideas. He also commented on using Google Keyword tool and looking specifically at the keywords produced for mobile users only. (He added he didn't trust the reliability of the tool.)
Next comes Siri
What happens when we talk a search to "Siri" and it by passes Google? Will the keywords go very very long tail? A general statement to get everyone thinking about the furture.
Quick Tip:
Guy expressed how recently they requested their clients send them the live chat information so they could review question being asked to build content for future searches.
Mobile Conversion:
Guy commented that some research showed that showing reviews and large social sharing buttons encouraged a higher conversion rate. He added that mobile users are very socially based, they need calls to action and they need to see the potential social interaction.
The best call to action is "Click to Call". Mobile users need a streamlined experience no long forms.
One of the main things to remember that mobile users are predominately using their fingers to navigate and not a mouse. This key characteristic should be carefully considered with your mobile site design.
He was finishing to add that some of the future trend he predicts seeing happening are:
- Data Mine-ing – Users are more excited to know information about them selves
- Mobile Moments – Capturing people who use their mobile for that split second, would your site give quick enough answers to respond to the mobile moment?
Last tip: Google's site http://www.howtogomo.com/
Local SEO
Google must associate your website with your location i.e. Business title, Name, address and Phone Number. Next get citations from local business directories and also encourage reviews on the local places. Avoid manipulating reviews and look at ways to encourage clients to create real reviews that stand the test of time.
Unfortunately that where I left the conference and it was a great initial presentation from Guy, I have however collated a number of resource that discuss the next session of the conference, please see below:

The object involving poker is often to win the most money. That's it - that's the goal. This is exactly why you're playing poker. "Now, of course, this sentiment wasn't just discovered simply by this particular writer.
In the event that will you flip through poker books, poker columns, videos, instructional tapes, blogs, an individual name it, anyone will dsicover it repeated more than as well as over again. The idea has converted into a mantra, virtually such as a religious chant, assumed being accurate along with in zero way challenged. Well, heretic in which I am, I'd want to challenge it here because, frankly, it just isn't true.
The vast majority don't play poker to acquire probably the most money. In reality, the great majority do not play poker to win money at all, let alone "the most. "Oh, don't misunderstand me - we all prefer to win, hope we shall acquire and surely anticipate this each time we buy chips.
These individuals play poker simply simply because they prefer to play poker.
They generally play with regard to relatively small stakes, typically Limit, however a couple of will venture into No-Limit games. This specific category, I suspect (without getting any tough information for you to back again me up) represents nearly all poker players. Heck, it may be even higher. Certainly Not pertaining to a second do I believe that these people are there to earn money.
They're there to own a great time, like individuals around the casino floorboards playing blackjack, baccarat or, more regularly, your slots.
They get sometimes, yet mostly they lose.
Even those which are a touch far better than the other people shed because, inside the long term, the actual rake and also the guidelines chew them up. Nevertheless that's okay.They view the experience similar to heading out to some nightclub or for dinner. These People anticipate ahead house poorer in the pocket however richer inside other, meaningful ways.

County Harvest is an all-volunteer organization, more than 500 people strong. Without an office, warehouse or paid staff, our growing corps has rescued more than 4.5 million pounds of food since our inception.
Every day, our dedicated volunteers gather healthy, unsold food from dozens of top supermarkets, leading restaurants and other venues, and immediately transport it to local soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters to make a difference in people's lives.
We serve a growing population of families, seniors, veterans and children in our area who are not sure where their next meal will come from. We are finding simple solutions to tackle a complicated problem, by making connections to help fight hunger in Westchester County, New York.
We are a food rescue organization dedicated to helping communities throughout Westchester County, New York by connecting food donors and agencies with people in need.
County Harvest was founded in October 2009 by Missy Palmisciano who, as a regular volunteer at her children's elementary school lunch program, was disturbed by all the good unused food being thrown away. She realized that local soup kitchens could use the food and immediately thought of Community Service Associates (CSA), an organization she had helped before through her active participation with the Junior League of Pelham. Prospect Hill Elementary School and the Pelham School district, protected by the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, generously agreed to allow Missy to take the food to CSA.
Using her own time and resources, Missy began the process of collecting and distributing the excess food to CSA. It was apparent from her first delivery that the soup kitchen was very much in need of this prepared food, which without County Harvest would go to waste or end up in the trash. For several months, Missy acted alone but soon expanded the program with both new food donors and local food rescue volunteers. After she found a variety of business owners willing to donate their excess food to County Harvest, she soon had more food than CSA could use. She then added other Westchester agencies in need of food and recruited additional volunteers to help pick up and deliver. With this expanded effort, County Harvest officially began in December 2009.

Who doesn't love a long, relaxing shower after a stressful day of school, work and household chores? Well, if you're a California resident, you're going to have to find another way to unwind. The Golden State has been in a record-breaking drought for the last four years, putting pressure on all Californians to scale back on their water use. That doesn't mean you have to go without showering for days, but there are ways you can be more eco-friendly and cut energy costs even if you're not in the middle of a drought. You'd be surprised how easy it is to save water, from your household cleaning to your hygiene routine. Trust us: You can do it, and you should — for yourself, your roommates, and the planet!
Start With the Basics
You use water every day for a million things, so where do you start to cut back? Dr. Chad Nelsen, CEO of the Surfrider Foundation in California and a passionate environmentalist, says the most basic tip is simply to turn it off when you're not actually using it. You can save around two gallons of water a minute by doing so — and that's just for the smaller tasks.
"Turn off the tap while you shave, brush your teeth or wash dishes," he recommends. "Take a shorter shower, and fix any leaky pipes to save hundreds of gallons of water every month going to wastewater treatment plants and being discharged to the ocean."
If you're still wondering how big your impact can really be, take a look at our breakdown of exactly where you can conserve water and how much you can save.
Personal Hygiene:
- Baths: Take showers; bathtubs take about 70 gallons of water to fill.
- Shaving: Plug a bit of water in the sink to rinse razors and save hundreds of gallons a month.
- Leaks: Fix those leaks to save an average 10 gallons a day.
- Showers: You're already saving water by showering (go you!). Challenge yourself further to spend the shortest amount of time in there (under five minutes). You can also get a low-flow showerhead and save another 12.5 gallons.
- Toilets: Throw trash away in the bin; don't flush it. Toilets flush an average of 3.5 gallons every time.
Household Tasks:
- Laundry: Adjust your washer settings according to the load size, and if you're in the market, get a front-loading machine to save 20 gallons per load vs. top-loading machines
- Dishes: Here's a great excuse to swear off handwashing dishes; dishwashers are more efficient with water (and better for communal cleanup with roommates).
- Garbage Disposal: Compost your scraps if you can to save a few gallons each time you would have used the disposal.
- Cooking and Drinking: Thaw food in the fridge instead of the sink, and use a water pitcher rather than using the tap to fill up your water glass.
Lawn and Garden
And finally, if you're lucky enough to have a yard, Nelsen recommends letting nature help out.
"Reuse your rainwater as an irrigation source for your plants or garden," he says. "Use gutters and downspouts to direct rainwater into your garden instead of letting it flow into the street."
Almost 60 percent of water usage goes into the lawn for those that have them. As an individual, you can make a difference, but as an entire team, you can make a real impact. Find more information on Save Our Water's interactive website, and continue to help California conserve in the midst of the drought.

Elmina Castle is a popular tourist stop in the African country of Ghana, with a dark history. Elmina Castle was one of the biggest trading posts for slaves in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade centuries ago. It is estimated that over 30,000 slaves were held underneath Elmina Castle in a dungeon. And the thing about this dungeon was that there was only one air vent for all of the people underneath. As you can imagine, many died of suffocation and disease ran rampant in the compressed quarters. But this vent was directly in front of the door to the church in the castle. And so, every Sunday, church goers would literally have to step over the vent to go to church as the cries of those begging for their freedom would fill the air around them. In fact, it is said that the congregation was often asked to sing more loudly as to drown out the cries from underneath. So, Sunday after Sunday, these people could no longer choose ignorance of the problem. They had to make a willful decision not to help.–Story from IJM
Just days into 2017, and so many of us have already steeled ourselves for the months ahead, haven't we? At the end of the high fructose corn syrup of election cycles, we're left gutted and wary of what's to come. Whatever your politics, the day after the election a teacher friend of mine consoled sobbing, undocumented children in his class– and could not tell them they were safe. Whatever your politics, my friend's adopted Rwandan son came home the day after the election and asked if he and his Iraqi friend were going to be sent away from their families, and back across the ocean. Whatever your politics, my friend with a debilitating medical condition that renders her unable to work is deeply afraid of what will happen when her health insurance disappears. Whatever your politics, my friends of color seem to be overwhelmingly disheartened by the new administration.
It's easy for us to argue about policies, but the real, lived experiences of our neighbors? God forbid we simply sing louder to drown out their voices.
Wherever you stand politically, it's been an ugly season and so many of us find ourselves viscerally unhinged, attempting to clumsily navigate the wreckage. It feels like the world is on fire—ablaze with anger and fear and hate that seem impossible to quell. Rhetoric feels ever increasingly more us and them–which should unite us all in sober grief.
It bears repeating that no matter how we voted, our charge as the Church is the same as it has always been: to fiercely love God and to fiercely love people. For the believer, justice is not a partisan issue–it is a gospel issue. Loving people like Jesus loves them means leaning hard into holy anger about injustice, oppression and the exploitation of people, and working tirelessly for justice, freedom and peace. The sick, the elderly, the undocumented immigrant, the unborn, the marginalized, the oppressed, the poor, the orphaned, the refugee—they are all emphatically ours. Their sorrows are ours to bear, ours to act upon as we demonstrate and proclaim the gospel. Wherever the new administration dismisses or harms them, we have a mandate to step in and care for them—the task has always belonged to us. We care because He cares, and our whole lives should reflect it.
And, dare I say it? Followers of Christ should be the first to question borders or walls. Our very identity is that we are citizens of heaven. If anything sets us apart, it should be the extravagant love we display to anyone with a need, and not a flag. The gospel demands that we reexamine who our neighbors and family are—it tells us that they are both across the street and across the world in Aleppo. We are citizens of heaven far before we are citizens of America—and it is that citizenship and our charge to love God and love the world like He does that dictates everything that we do. Where people of any color or creed need to be cared for, we should always, always see the church loving them with the wild and fierce love that first loved us. We are to incarnate a risen Christ in our homes and our cities and in Yemen and Nepal and Somalia. Friends, if we really believe that Jesus is alive and coming back one day to redeem and restore every broken thing, we will be unstoppably moved to work for that world here and now.
That the gospel is good news should come as no surprise to anyone that knows a follower of Christ. Church, we believe that there is hope as long as Jesus is still out of the grave. We believe by faith that He intends to answer the cries of hurting people through His Church—us. Let's refuse to simply turn away and sing louder, and instead make the uncomfortable choice to listen. Let's boldly call out injustice and oppression wherever we find it, and stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters and work with them to right it until the job is done. Let's pour ourselves out for people because Jesus poured out His life for us.
We have work to do, Church. As we step into an uncertain future, may our prayers, our dollars, our time, the phone calls we make to our representatives and the people we gather around our kitchen tables speak a louder love story than our Twitter feeds. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in and through us, Jesus. Let it be so.

I recently interviewed award-winning author Dan Simmons for The Arizona Republic. You can read the lengthy interview, which focuses on his upcoming novel The Fifth Heart, on Sunday.
But I also wanted to get his opinions on other hot-button issues I've seen in the online book world. So here is a teaser, where we discuss how an authors' political and personal beliefs get mixed with their fictional works.
Recently there has been a lot of talk about author's beliefs versus character's actions and politics. Mark Lawrence has been vocal online defender of his novel Prince of Thorns against allegations of misogyny due to a mentioned rape (although a recent blog post about the brutal gang rapes in India showed Lawrence questioning himself).
In 2011, Simmons was pilloried for his novel Flashback. The dystopian thriller pinned the collapse of the United States on the Obama presidency — he was attacked from the left as a racist and fascist and championed by the nascent Tea Party. I admit I have not read the novel, which by all accounts is a fun, if controversial thriller.
Now there are authors whose beliefs I do believe is accurately reflected in their works — Kim Stanley Robinson and Sheri S. Tepper on the left, Ayn Rand and Robert Heinlein on the right. But Simmons insists that Flashback was a work of fiction and not a political treatise and did not reflect his beliefs. And while my beliefs are unapologetically left-wing, I have no problems enjoying Heinlein's work, and find Tepper to be gratingly didactic.
This reminded me of the oft-heated arguments about Mark Lawrence's work. In today's polarized climate, is it possible to address an issue in a novel without sparking controversy? Are we as readers even capable of reading a novel for enjoyment if we don't agree with the politics underpinning it? And are we capable of separating the politics of a novel's setting from the author's personal beliefs?
Simmons gave a wonderful response:
No, it's not possible to touch any political ideas without being accused (and pilloried) by other readers and other writers, but that's a function of the often pinheaded and hair-triggered age we live in. My novel Flashback was about a memory-drug Americans has turned to after the country has gone belly-up by the late 2030's. It's about abandoning the future for the past, as many nations have actually done. My original novella, published in 1990 or '91, had the cause of the "belly-up" being Reaganesque defense spending. But a few weeks of research in Japan convinced me that I couldn't use my original plan of having Japan as the early 21st Century economic superpower that was necessary for my Flashback plot since I found their economy in 1991 — based largely on the fallacy that the price of land can NEVER go down —was headed for a huge tumble. (Japan has been in recession and economically stagnant since the mid-90's.)
When I did get around to writing Flashback (the novel) in 2011, I could hardly blame my dysfunctional American future on Reagan's arms build-up since defense-spending had declined dramatically in the intervening decades, so I used — as background — the "cause" of non-stop spiraling national debt and deficit spending. Thus the organized attack on the book and me by dutiful "progressives". The irony, of course, is if I'd published in 1993 as planned, it would have made me a Hero of the Left.)
The real answer to this politics gabble is simple — the book I'm working on now, Omega Canyon (largely about Los Alamos 1943-45) — will be my 30th published book.
That is 30 — three-oh — books. Many of them rather . . . long. If anyone can find politics of any sort, any racial or sexual bias, or any of the other accusations that were launched at Flashback (which is basically a mystery novel which also deals with personal loss), then let them squawk. They won't find it. It's not there. But that fact will never stop political-based haters in the year 2015. Personal attacks have mostly taken the place of the public dialectic. We've lost something important in our needed national dialogues — and not just in politics — over the last several decades.

• Largest ever such conference organised in India. 170 countries participated. The number of pre registered delegates around 15000. Minister/Vice Minister level participation around 80. More than 400 side events – many organised by the World Bank, UNDP, GEF, other countries and International and national NGOs.
• The elements of successful CoP were flawless logistics, strategic thinking in the development of Agenda's content, participation of a large number of stakeholders and persuasive yet effective negotiations.
• One of the most important outcomes of the CoP is the commitment of the Parties to double the international financial flows for Bio Diversity by 2015. This will translate into additional financial flows to the developing countries to the tune of about US $ 30 billion equivalent to about Rs. 1,50,000 crore over the next 8 years. This is a major achievement especially in the context of .
1. Global economic downturn
2. Contentious stands regarding the robust baseline and the reporting mechanism
3. Absence of any such target in the recommendation sent to the CoP by WGRI
4. With no proposal from Working Group on Review of Implementation (WGRI) the Parties would not have come with the required clearance from the respective Finance Ministries.
India rectified the situation by her initiatives
1. Suggested a two track solution envisaging a preliminary target and a road map.
2. Co sponsored informal dialogue to promote better Understanding among the parties of the issues involved.
3. Co sponsored India UK High Level Panel to assess the requirement of funds.
4. Worked closely with the Bureau to introduce a specific element of preliminary target, so that the parties come prepared with mandates from their Finance Ministries.
5. During the CoP India led the efforts of the Parties to find a satisfactory outcome
• Way Forward India will like to play its leadership role during India's Presidency by supporting and hosting capacity building in the developing countries to help them prepare project proposals to avail the additional funding now envisaged.
• India will now be working closely with all the member countries to make a success of the Hyderabad Road Map. India will also share its experience with other countries to help them establish a robust baseline, so that the target for resources fixed now is further refined by CoP 12. India has already set apart a sum of Rs. 50 crores towards South South cooperation.
• India has launched the initiative of Hyderabad Pledge. All the countries are requested to pledge money for the cause of bio diversity. MEF will now write to all the Ministers the world over requesting them to pledge additional resources for Biodiversity.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a Hyderabad Pledge, under which India will spend $50 million to strengthen the institutional mechanisms for protection of biological diversity during its two-year presidency of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
This will be used to advance the objectives of the CBD, at the national and state level in the country. Similar capacity building assistance funding will be made available to developing countries.
Protecting and promoting biodiversity has always been an integral part of the Indian ethos and culture. This can be seen from the thousands of sacred groves all over the country. Traditional system of agriculture and medicine in India has depended on plant and animal biodiversity, and protecting the wild relatives of these resources that we use today is of paramount importance.
• India has already ratified Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit sharing. India during its Presidency will work tirelessly for the ratification of the Protocol by 50 countries so that it comes into force during the Presidency of India. Towards this end, India will offer to host the meeting of the Inter Governmental Committee of Nagoya Protocol. India will also host capacity building workshops of developing Countries to help them take legislative / administrative measures. India has already offered to meet part of the cost of the meeting of the Working Group on Art. 8j on Traditional Knowledge.
• After the resounding success of the Science Express Biodiversity Special. The Government will take special efforts to increase the reach of this Express to even more remote corners of the country to increase the awareness about Biodiversity.
• Many delegates who visited the Biodiversity express in Hyderabad wanted something similar done in their country. India will explore ways of replicating this wonderful success of Biodiversity Express in other countries by providing them appropriate support.
• In Hyderabad, a commemorative Pylon and a Biodiversity Garden have been established. The Prime Minister of India had planted the first tree on behalf of India, representatives of the participating countries have also planted trees. It has been decided to establish a Biodiversity Museum on this site. This will be a token of gratitude to the people of Hyderabad whose hospitality had won the heart of every international delegate. Hyderabad is the first host city of CBD CoP to establish commemorative Pylon, garden and museum.
• During its Presidency India will take special steps to strengthen the State Biodiversity Boards and to prepare Peoples Biodiversity Registers at the village level. A sum of about Rs.250 crores has been approved for this purpose.
• India will substantially increase its allocation for Biodiversity by working closely with other Ministries for mainstreaming of Biodiversity.
• India has instituted together with UNDP Biodiversity Governance Awards. The first such awards were given during the CoP 11. It is now proposed to institute Rajiv Gandhi International Award for Harnessing Biodiversity for Livelihood.

Hello To Make Love Stay readers! I'm so excited to be here today and hope that you'll come visit me at Little Spindle sometime :)
Caitlin asked me to write something holiday related and after thinking about it for awhile I decided to share the strangest (and probably most long lasting) family tradition that I could think of.
OK, so the story starts 52 Christmas Eves ago with this woman:
Picture it!
It's Christmas Eve and the family has just finished a big dinner around a beautiful dining room table at my great aunt and uncle's house, who my grandmother is staying with while my grandfather is away in the Army. She is 8 months pregnant with my mom at this point, but Gram has always been quite the prankster. But apparently the joke's on her this time because later in the evening while the family is opening gifts Gram is presented with a beautifully wrapped package and she can't wait to tear into it.
But to what do her wandering eyes appear?! Take a guess...you'll never get it!
Remember how the family had just finished a beautiful holiday feast? Well, apparently after the meal someone took it upon themselves to completely clean the turkey carcass (with bleach and everything) and wrap it up for my grandmother to open. Please, take a moment and imagine receiving what's pictured below wrapped beautifully on Christmas Eve 1959.
Ok, so that'd be a pretty strange story - if it ended there...but of course, because my family is insane, it's far from over!
Gram received this darn thing wrapped up beautifully three more times in the next two days. They all traveled from house to house visiting all of the cousins and every.single.time they sat down to open gifts, there is was AGAIN!!!
How is this silly story a family tradition you're probably asking?
Ever since, every few years the carcass (which has 1959 written on it) resurfaces, wrapped as a gift and passed to a different member of the family. The trick is, when you pass it along to the next person you have to do it on the sly. Two years ago when my mom turned 50 (the turkey's 50th anniversary) someone placed a "gift" into the backseat of my parent's locked vehicle during a family Christmas party and later on when my mom opened it we all DIED laughing.
Alright, awesome - so now that you know how strange my family really is how about you try not to judge me too terribly and hop on over to Little Spindle because I promise you that this is the only post I have ever written that has anything to do with well preserved bones of any kind.
Thanks Caitlin for having me and I'll understand if you never ask me to guest post here ever again...

Residential Window Roll Shutters
Very simply, the ROLCO Rollshutter is an attractive and unique energy saving and security product that allows you to control the environment inside your home.
Let in the natural warmth of solar heat; shut out the harsh glare of summer sun; create a protective barrier of security and privacy; provide windows and doors with a blanket of insulation in any weather.
Although the shutter is custom designed to fit the outside of any window or door, it is operated very simply, either manually or electronically, from the inside comfort of your home.
The ROLCO Rollshutters are made of interlocking horizontal slats constructed of durable extruded and rollformed PVC or Aluminum for easy maintenance and lasting beauty.
These slats slide smoothly up and down within vertical aluminum side rails. The cleverness of design allows for variable light control - roll up and out-of-sight for total open vision; roll down just far enough to give you the effect you want; or roll all the way down to completely shut off the outside. Also, with the shutter closed, the interlocking slats can be opened for partial light infiltration to give your room a shaded appearance.
You have total control over the amount of light in a room.
ROLCO Rollshutters are ideal for both new construction or remodeling. Professional installers can mount the housing:
in an existing soffit
on the outside surface
directly within the wall (new construction)
These various applications have been designed to serve the specific needs of homeowners, residential builders, commercial or industrial contractors, small business owners or institutional facilities.
Beautiful and Insulating
Open or closed, the ROLCO Rollshutters adds to the beauty of your home. When closed, the shutter traps air between itself and the door or window. That dead air space serves as insulation.
The shutters are now available in white, beige, brown, cream or grey finish, each of which greatly enhances the exterior of your house and does an excellent job of reflecting harsh solar light.
On hot summer days conventional interior shutters, shades or curtains trap heat on the wrong side of your windows...the inside. But ROLCO Rollshutters are on the exterior, blocking out the hot sun before it ever reaches you window. This keeps the temperature inside cooler and, if you have air conditioning, running time is drastically reduced...and you save money.
During the colder winter months, ROLCO Rollshutters can be rolled up during the day for maximum solar gain. Roll them down in the evening to retain the warmth of the sun's rays inside and achieve more efficient use of you heating system.
And when you don't need the shutter's protection, you simply roll it up, out-of-sight, and no one even knows it's there!
Extra Weather Protection
Rolco Roll-Shutters more than double the thermal efficiency of single glass and with insulated glass t hey increase the efficiency by more than 50% - even if you have storm windows or doors. The bottom line is extr savings of energy and money.
High winds, hail, heavy rain -- all can be very damaging to your windows and doors. ROLCO Rollshutters help defeat potentially dangerous elements. Interior condensation or ice build-up ? In most cases, they are eliminated.
An Effective Security System
When you're away from home, vandals, thieves and intruders can cause untold damage and harm to your dwelling and your valued possessions. With ROLCO Rollshutters you'll have a security system designed specifically for your home. Then when you travel on vacation or business, rest assured that these shutters seal off access to your home and provide a protective barrier that hides your valuables from sight and deters intruders. Your family is safer, and you have greater peace of mind.
Alarm companies tell you a break in has happened......
Privacy made Perfect
Whether you live in a secluded area or in a neighborhood where neighbors are a little "too close", your family is assured of a private, secure environment with ROLCO Rollshutters. Also if you need privacy and quiet for sleep, day or night, all you have to do is lower you shutters until the room is darkened and outside noise is diminished.

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs has come to online consumers' aid by creating an Online Consumer Mediation Centre (OCMC). The centre is all set to be launched on 24th December, which is National Consumer Rights Day. Developed in collaboration with National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, OCMC's primary aim is to resolve ecommerce related issues that consumers face. The centre hopes that it would encourage people to register complaints and find an amicable solution.
Ashok R. Patil, Director, OCMC stated,
"Currently, a majority of the consumers do not approach redress forums as they feel it is time-consuming or that they may not get good compensation. We hope that this will change with our software."
Some facts about OCMC
The initiative is funded by the Department of Consumer Affairs
Reputed lawyers and judges would be part of OCMC's mediators panel
Customers can use this online service for a fee of Rs. 100
The step 1 of this complaint redressal mechanism would be to encourage a dialogue between consumers and e-commerce firms via text-based negotiation on the OCMC website
Consumers can upload documents and relevant documents to support their claim
"The consumer should mention whether she wants a full or partial refund, or replacement of product. If the dispute is not resolved after a week, a neutral mediator will be appointed. Both consumers and company representatives can chat only with the mediator or chat together with the mediator in a chat window," said Krishna Bharadwaj, one of the mediators at OCMC.
The ministry is now waiting for ecommerce companies to agree to be part of this initiative.
Government's previous initiatives to protect interests of online consumers
In February this year, the Maharashtra Government had launched an online consumer court that allowed consumers, activists and lawyers to file cases. But it wasn't an ecommerce specific grievances portal, unlike the soon-to-be- launched OCMC.
Talks are also on to alter the Consumer Protection Bill to add ecommerce related elements in the bill.
Sellers, consumers and etailers, all need protection from fraudulent practices
The Online Consumer Mediation Centre would greatly help customers who are being harassed by ecommerce companies and fake sellers. But the need of the hour is to build a dedicated redressal mechanism for all ecommerce related practices and which caters to all the parties involved, be it a buyer, seller or etailer. Case in point- 2 customers were recently arrested for cheating Flipkart. Sellers too have a big list of complaints against Snapdeal, Amazon, Flipkart, and others.
The success of such initiatives depends heavily on ecommerce companies and their willingness to participate. Would online marketplaces agree to be part of OCMC's plan? Would sellers' complaints be also entertained by the mediation centre in the future?

Cameron Diaz pranced around in four-inch heels, Matthew McConaughey bet his savings, Boris Kodjoe gave up a career in R&B and Ryan Reynolds dealt with disgruntled customers — but despite their best efforts, the #1 spot at the box office went to clay-animation duo Wallace and Gromit.
The G-rated "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" — starring characters voiced by Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes — earned $16.1 million, according to early estimates. The first full-length film featuring the pair of animated-short veterans, "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" centers on inventor Wallace, his brilliant dog, Gromit, and their humane pest-control business called Anti-Pesto. Just before their town's Giant Vegetable Competition, a huge, mysterious beast begins attacking (see "Rewind: What's So Funny About Scary Bunnies?"), and Wallace and Gromit's pest-control skills are swiftly called into action.
Staving off most of its competitors, "Flightplan" dropped just one notch this week, coming in at #2 with more than $10.7 million. Jodie Foster stars in the thriller as a mother who becomes distressed when she is unable to locate her daughter on a flight from Berlin to New York — and is even more concerned when no one on the flight seems to recall her daughter ever boarding the plane (see "Jodie Foster's 'Flightplan' Role Originally Written For A Guy, But 'Didn't Ring True' ").
Sashaying into the #3 spot with more than $10 million is "In Her Shoes," starring Cameron Diaz (Maggie) and Toni Collette (Rose) as sisters with opposite lifestyles who nonetheless need each other to feel whole (see "Sexy Feat, Sensible 'Shoes' "). In the dramatic comedy directed by Curtis Hanson, party girl Maggie is forced to learn how to fend for herself when her straight-laced sister Rose kicks her out of her apartment.
While his character may have a betting problem, let's hope Matthew McConaughey didn't place a large wager on his film earning the #1 spot at the box office during its opening weekend. "Two for the Money," which stars McConaughey as a former football star who turns to sports betting after an injury derails his athletic career, bowed at #4 with more than $8.3 million. Al Pacino co-stars in the film as a gambler-turned-bookie (see "Pacino And McConaughey Gamble On Each Other With 'Two For The Money' ").
In "The Gospel," Boris Kodjoe (TV's "Soul Food") plays a singer who turns his back on the church to pursue a career in R&B, only to return to a congregation in disarray. The film, which forces its lead to re-evaluate the direction his life has taken, bowed at #5 with $8 million.
A rush of new releases buried Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" this week, pushing the film — which stars characters voiced by Burton mainstays Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp (see "Dead Ahead: Tim Burton's Sweetly Spooky 'Corpse Bride' ") — from #3 to #6 with more than $6.5 million.
Rounding out this week's box-office top 10 are "Waiting," which debuted at #7 with $5.7 million; "A History of Violence," which dropped from #4 to #8 with more than $5.1 million; "Serenity," which plummeted from #2 to #9 with more than $4.9 million; and "Into the Blue," which slipped from #5 to #10 with $4.8 million.
Overall, ticket sales were down from the corresponding weekend last year.
Next week, look for "North Country," "The Fog," "Domino" and "Elizabethtown" to debut in the box-office top 10.

Mission Statement
To make and provide quality homemade soaps products using simple natural based ingredients for family, friends and others in the endeavor to provide simple pleasures, indulgences and enjoyment.
About me:
I live in the Central Pennsylvania, where handcrafted items appear locally in various stores, shops and craft venues. I have always enjoyed making handcrafts and unusual items for family and friends. My family was looking for a soap that left you feeling clean and fresh. A Soap that would rinse clean and not leave a soapy feeling after your shower. Handcrafted soaps filled the requirements. By using essential oils the benefits of the oil are utilized without being a heavy scent that is too strong. Crafting handmade soaps allows me to handcraft a product that provides enjoyment and purpose for me… and also for some new friends.

Last weekend to grab the "Mash Program Sampler 2" for Only $29! Prices going up on Monday! Check it out now: ==> Mash Program Sampler 2
Remembering Chris Moore and Understanding the Why
It has been over a year since my friend, Chris Moore passed away. His passing was abrupt, and left me focused on one of the most real truths in this life that all of us ponder from time to time: "life is truly short". All of us repeat this phrase when we hear of a friend tragically passing, but do we really understand how precious every moment of this life really is?
Let's take a deeper look at just how short this life really is. If I live to be 80-years-old, I will die in the year 2053. My life span will equate for .38% of A.D. years, which stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "year of our Lord," and it means the number of years since the birth of Jesus Christ. When you take into account all the years B.C., really life is literally a blink. I am not saying all of this to depress you. I am just giving you a dose of reality.
Really when you think about it, whether you life to be 80 or 30 in the big scheme of things it is about the same blink. Now that we have clarified that life is but a blink, or maybe even shorter than a blink, the question really is, "What are you going to do with it?" I am not preaching to you right now. This is meant for me as much as you so let me explain the trigger of these thoughts.
When Chris Moore and I had the chance to hang out, the conversation always turned to the real meaning of life. Chris and I agreed that family and friends were the most important things in life. We talked about our desires to help others, but I am not just talking about helping others with fitness and strength. We wanted to help others with their journey through life. We wanted a simplistic approach to dramatically changing the lives of others.
This evening I was walking around the family farm with my wife and child. We were looking at blueberries, and watching Rock's Poppy mowing one of the pastures. I took the time to feel the cool wind blow, smell the fresh cut grass, and listen to the laughs of my two-year-old. There was no cell phone and no other distractions. There was only that moment, and took the time to experience it; all of it.
How many of you take the time to experience the loved ones around you without grabbing your cell phone and without being distracted by all the technology around you? How many of you workout without checking Instagram or thinking about getting the perfect video for your followers? How many of you get lost deep within your training session? By experiencing, I mean actually experiencing the movement and feeling your body move through space.
I remember the days of training before social media. I trained because I loved the sport not because I wanted to get the perfect video or picture for my followers. I was able to experience the response of my body from tough training. I approached my training sessions with excitement in anticipation of what the future might hold. I remember driving to workouts with my training partner Chris "Ox" Mason. Those rides to the gym where filled with excitement. I couldn't wait to feel the weight in my hands or on my back. Would I be stronger than the day before? Would I move better than the day before? Would the workout leave my muscles filled with blood, my body drenched with sweat, and heart quenched with a feeling of a job well done?
I remember sitting around after a training session at Jack King's Gym in Winston-Salem. There was a group of us simply talking about our love of training. I remember my legs feeling like they might burst from the massive pump that I received from the squat workout that Ox and I had just performed. I remember tearing up as I talked about my love of the iron with my training buddies. Can you imagine that? I was a grown man crying from simply talking about my love for training.
It's just that training meant so much more to me than Instagram videos. It was the one thing that I could control in a life filled with so many uncertainties. I couldn't control the number of times my mother was married or how many times we moved, but I could control my actions in the weight room. The barbell was going to be there day in and day out. Training allowed me to transform into the athlete that I desired to be. The barbell opened me up to the world as I competed in International competitions. The barbell took a boy out of the mountains of North Carolina and opened him up to a world filled with endless possibilities.
The farm is the perfect place to search one's soul. There are no loud noises or flashing lights. There is just a tranquil setting perfect for looking deep within one's own self. I mean really deep not this surface mess that I see so much on Instagram. I mean looking deep within and understanding the "why" behind what you are doing. If you can't understand the 'why', maybe it's time to find something new.
I am so excited to invite some of you to hangout on the farm. Chris and I talked about this during the "Strength Spectacular" in 2015. I want a small group of men and women to train together, cook together, recover together, and to discuss life together. I am not talking about some scripted mastermind bull crap that gets you fired up to continue doing exactly what you are already doing in the same way that you are already doing it.
I am talking about understanding what's important. I am talking about understanding really what you want to do. I am talking about figuring out how to get there. I have been so blessed to have the most amazing mentors like: Zach Even-Esh, Mike Bledsoe, Chris Moore, Louie Simmons, Congressman Ted Budd, Rick Taylor (my fater-in-law), and my Pastor Carey Hardy. So many more of you have influenced me in ways that you will never know.
This will be one of the ways that I give back during my precious time one this earth. If I can help just one of you either figure out your path in life or perfect the one you are on, then man my short time on this earth will be well spent. I use to think that I wanted to own a billion dollar company, and I was willing to work a billion hours to get there. To me I would be sacrificing time with my children so I could give them a better life. After really analyzing my heart, I wanted more time with my family right now. Since realizing this fact over a year ago, our company has grown almost four times bigger than it was and I am spending more time than ever with my family. I am still coaching my athletes, helping all of you, and loving on my family. I just had to understand the 'why' a little better, and then my path was clear. Hopefully I can do the same for all of you.
The times that I had with Chris Moore were truly eye-opening moments. He would listen to me with such intent, and then his responses were always from the heart. He loved his family too. Maybe that's why we were so close. We appear to be such complex people, but at the core we were just men that loved our family, loved training, and loved helping other people. That's it! Maybe our simplicity was the very thing that made us seem so complicated in a world filled with distractions and complications. All I know is that I am ready to do what Chris and I talked about in a simple way with hopefully life altering results.
If this is something that you would be interested in, please comment below and let me know. I am also open to ideas on how to make such an event the perfect experience for you guys. Thanks and I will hopefully see you on the farm.
For now you guys can check out the "Mash Strength Spectacular" that is going down on Labor Day. We are having Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman, and there will be a lot of just hanging out the night before and the night afterwards. The best part is that it will be taking place on the family farm!!!! Check it out below:

Day 3. He is Unchanging
Father, in this unstable world, where situations change so quickly and people we rely on so often let us down, we thank You that You are an unchanging God; that there is no shadow of turning with You; that your love never ends; that You are always faithful; that You keep your promises; that You never let us down; that You are sovereign and always in control.
Forgive us for the times when we have not been consistent in our love for You, and the hurt we have caused when we have not been consistent in our love for others or unfaithful in keeping our promises.
Help us to reflect your constancy in our relationships, commitments, and service to You.

The Stallions lost their first match by 3 goals to 1 and since then, their revamped run demolished almost everyone.
FC Pune City have confirmed their place in the semi-finals of the Hero Indian Super League despite suffering their worst defeat of the season at the hands of FC Goa at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium, Pune, on Sunday.
Pune City lost 0-4 against Goa in their penultimate clash but their impressive performances earlier in the season means they don't have to wait for the final league clash to secure a point for a place in the play-offs. They will finish in the top four, regardless of other results, and the achievement of breaking into the top four for the first time since the ISL was launched in 2014 will surely delight the club.
"As a club, this was our first hurdle to clear; to reach the playoffs. The entire team has worked consistently towards the same goal and this spot is a result of the hard work put in by everyone and anyone involved with the club. But this isn't the end of our work, rather it's the beginning and we hope to take a step at a time to reach our ultimate goal," said Pune City coach Ranko Popovic.
Pune City are placed second on the ISL points table with 29 points and even if they get stranded on 29 points at the end of the league stage, they will finish among the top four.
There is a possibility that four teams can finish their league engagements with 29 points; if Pune lose against Delhi; Chennai lose against Mumbai, Jamshedpur win against Goa and Mumbai register two consecutive victories in their last two matches.

In the event of teams being tied on points, the head-to-head record between these teams will come into force.
As things stand, Pune will win the head-to-head count among all these teams with 12 points – two wins each against Mumbai City and Jamshedpur FC – while Chennaiyin FC and Jamshedpur FC will also get the nod.
Assuming FC Goa get the better of ATK and Jamshedpur FC in their last two matches, they will qualify with 30 points, possibly leaving three teams with 29 points. Even then, Pune will still go through.
Pune face Delhi Dynamos in their concluding league clash on Friday without captain Marcelinho and Diego Carlos, both of whom are suspended.

A$AP Ferg Face-Times Cara Delevigne in the "Dope Walk" video.
Cara Delevigne is the biggest model in the game right now, so earning a co-sign from the eyebrow queen is pretty big look for a rapper. Ferg mentioned the runway star in "Dope Walk", bragging that his walk was "meaner than Cara Delevigne's", and it wasn't long before she caught wind of the reference and challenged Ferg to a walk off.
Delevigne returns in the official video for "Dope Walk", lending a constant presence to the clip via Face-Time, as she observes Fergenstein and his crew doing their swaggiest walks. Ferg's sophomore album will be out before the summer, according to the man himself. Check out our recent interview with the rapper here.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class: Where Luxury & Durability Intersect
If you're in the market for a crossover, even a luxury one, the single most important aspect to consider is how it handles everything that the road (and nature) can throw its way. Crossovers are meant to venture off the beaten path every now and again, and that means taking on more than just sharp turns and slick roads. Having the rugged capability to weather a wide variety of terrain and obstacles is a must, and that's one area where the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class excels.
Clearly, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is capable of taking on whatever your daily commute has in store. If you're interested in seeing this dependable model in person, we invite you to visit our Augusta, GA showroom today, where we offer it as well as a wide range of other new Mercedes-Benz models. Stop by, go for a test drive, and we'll be happy to answer any and all questions that you have.
