After The Show Q&A With Lene Fogelberg
Lene, we spoke on the show about your writing process, but let's dig into some details about your journey to becoming a published author. When did you decide to write this book?
I attended The Stockholm Academy of Writing and I wrote a couple of assignments about my experiences and got such heartfelt response that I started thinking maybe I could really do this-tell my crazy story.
Did you set up a daily routine to write?
Yes, I worked hard to write at least two pages every day while my girls were in school. It was a goal that didn't feel intimidating and would often make me end up with four or five pages.
Did you give yourself a deadline?
I used many deadlines – it is a strategy that really works for me, to finish a chapter, a part of the book, have the ending ready and then the editing.
When you finished the book, it was originally written in your native tongue, Swedish. How did you have the book translated?
I translated it myself, well, that was what I set out to do, but only a few chapters in I realized it would really be a re-write. I embraced this and enjoyed working in the English language, which I love.
In our interview you spoke about how different the querying process is in Sweden compared to Canada and the U.S. – in Sweden you can approach the publishers directly. Did you have a lawyer or anyone you could consult with to look over your contract before agreeing to it?
The contract with She Writes Press was pretty straightforward and I didn't feel I needed a lawyer.
Tell me a little about She Writes Press. What has it been like working with them?
It's been wonderful, I have gotten so much support for my book throughout and I have learned so much about the publishing industry. I feel this was a very good way to publish a debut book and in addition, She Writes Press has a wonderful community of wonderful authors supporting each other, so one does not feel alone on this journey that can be pretty overwhelming at times.
You are now working on a second book, what is that one about?
It is a novel taking place in Jakarta that is hilarious and heartbreaking, where I mix the ancient myths of Java with modern urban life and East meets West.
What would you say is the most important thing for authors to remember when they start to send their book out to agents?
Make sure you have a strong elevator pitch. Take a step back from your manuscript, rest your brain after all the editing. Then look at your story with fresh eyes and ask yourself "Why does this story matter?" "What is it that will draw people in?" From these answers build a solid presentation that is to the point, in as few words as possible. Polish your "elevator pitch" until it is squeaky clean. Be sure you know exactly what your story is about and why it matters.
Did you work with an editor at She Writes Press? What was the experience of editing the book like? (You can detail here how edits work with the publisher and how long they took).
I have two wonderful editors and my publisher at She Writes Press felt my book was ready without further editing.
(I would suggest working with your own editors no matter how you plan to go ahead with your book. These days the competition is very fierce and agents and publishers usually don't look twice at an un-edited manuscript.)
I know She Writes Press have excellent editors that their authors work with. She Writes Press did excellent proofreading of my manuscript, which is a very different thing than editing. We worked on first, second and third pages over the course of a couple of months. Then the "final pages" was signed off and sent to the printer's for Advance Reader Copies. You always find more errors in the actual book. We fixed those last design, layout and spelling errors, signed off again and sent to the printer's. Finally the final book! It was a long process, but totally worth it.
How did you celebrate your book birthday? (the day it was available for purchase)
I had a virtual global e-party! J So many congratulations poured in that I stayed up all night answering messages and receiving hugs, cheers and hoorays.
I pre-ordered a copy, how does the pre-ordering process work, are you given the numbers as they come in from your publisher?
Sales numbers take a long time to come in, at the earliest three months after the sale. All authors love pre-orders, because they help giving the book that first boost in the system on Amazon and retailers. So to pre-order a book is an excellent way of supporting a favorite or a new author. Thank you Crystal-Lee for pre-ordering!
Your memoir really speaks to the reader in terms of trusting your intuition, for anyone out there that may be experiencing the same symptoms you had, what would be your advice? What are the warning signs of congenital heart failure and what can someone do to have this checked out by a doctor.
Usually it is enough to have a doctor listen to your heart. My heart disease should have been discovered long before it was detected. My heart murmur was very loud and the doctor who sent me to have it checked said it was impossible to dismiss as normal. The warning signs are severe fatigue, shortness of breath and a feeling of constant pressure on your chest. Also fainting and being cold (cold hands and feet) can be signs of heart disease.
Lene, thank you so much for our radio and written interview here. The book was so beautifully written and it is a wonderful mix of poetry and prose. I am looking forward to your next novel.
Thank you so much Crystal-Lee for having me!
Lene Fogelberg is an award-winning poet and double open-heart surgery survivor. Her debut memoir, Beautiful Affliction is a Wall Street Journal Best-Seller and, finalist in the 2015 USA Best Book Awards for Autobiography/Memoir. lenefogelberg.com

Pramitol 25 E will stop weeds from growing because nothing can grow in the soil after spraying this herbicide. Pramitol 25 E Herbicide is a soil sterilant for total vegetation control of weeds in non-crop areas.
California Proposition 65 WARNING
Pramitol 25 E Herbicide - Qt
Pramitol 25 E Herbicide -1 Gallon
As a soil sterilant and total vegetation killer, Pramitol 25 E by Control Solutions kills existing vegetation and prevents plant growth up to 1 year by sterilizing the soil. This is very helpful in areas where you want no weeds or vegetation for a long season, instead of re-treating constantly.
This weed killer is a non-selective herbicide and gives you a whole season of control in the areas of coverage. It is particularly useful for fence lines, around buildings, guardrails, right-of-ways, in places where you want to see no vegetation growth.
Pramitol 25 E is known to control Johnson grass, bindweed and other hard to kill weeds.
Apply before or up to three months after weed emergence. When spraying Pramitol, it is important to spray the soil so it can get to the roots, although it will kill some foliage on contact. You may want to use a glyphosate such as Eraser , first to clear out existing vegetation. Much of it's its effectiveness is dependent on rainfall to move it into the root zone. Very dry soil conditions and lack of sufficient rainfall may result in poor weed control.
Pramitol 25 E Features
Bare ground weed control around buildings, storage areas, fences, pumps, machinery, fuel tanks, recreational areas, roadways, guardrails, airports, military installations, high - way medians, pipelines, railroads, lumberyards, industrial sites, rights-of-way and similar areas.
Important: Use only in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as industrial sites, right-of-way, lumberyards, petroleum tank farms, around farm buildings, along fence lines, etc. When applied to the soil, this product usually inhibits plant growth for a year or more.
For best results, apply Pramitol 25E before weeds emerge or when weeds are young and actively growing.
For faster top-kill of existing vegetation, apply Pramitol 25E in diesel oil, fuel oil, or weed oil.
Can not be shipped by expedited choices, per air regulations.>
Environmental Hazards This pesticide is toxic to fish and terrestrial invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters and rinsate. Apply this product only as specified on this label
Pramitol 25E is generally noncorrosive to equipment but may cause
swelling or more rapid deterioration of hoses and fittings containing
natural rubber.

In episode 9 of Empire's fourth season, "Slave To Memory" we'll finally get to hear Andre Lyon sing! The video below shows him performing "Superstar." The song was originally written in 1969 by Bonnie Bramlett, Leon Russell and Delaney Bramlett. "Superstar" has been a hit for numerous artists including Cher and The Carpenters.
The first season of Fox's record-breaking hip-hop drama series showed us how talented Trai Byers was as an actor. We instantly fell in love with the character as we watched him struggle through depression.
|Andre From Empire Singing
It's difficult for Andre to get the attention he deserves with Lucious, Jamal and Hakeem being music sensations and Cookie being sensational period. Many fans of the show don't know that Trai has a beautiful voice!
The show's season 2 finale just aired but we already miss Trai Byers! Let's take a look at his Top 10 Instagram pics to celebrate how wonderful he is!
10. When he's rocking the beard.
9. When he's taking selfies with wifey.
8. When him and Lucious get rid of Romeo.
7. When it's his birthday.
6. When he's having sweet dream.
5. When he looks into her eyes.
I love you my Queen. I call you Queen because that's what you are… simply, subtly, elegantly, magnanimously. You use the kingdom of your heart to house others – The crown on your head to show humility, that it takes a humbling of self, a servant, to truly represent nobility – The shimmering gown of you to reveal that the most beautiful clothes you will ever possess can never be be judged from the outside, but the inside. To simply say that I'm proud of you is an understatement, I'm proud of your life. You're not merely the woman the world expects to see, but the woman that God designed you to be. It motivates me more than my words can express. You are real but you are also magic, and no "how", "why", "when", or "where" can claim or explain the existence that is you…only Grace can do that, and Grace comes from God! I jump for joy at the thought of what lies ahead for you! And no matter what storm, frustration, attack, or misunderstanding, know that my feet are planted next to yours forever! I love you baby…with every particle of my existence. Happy Birthday Queen @ladygracebyers
4. When they're locking lips.
As we celebrate life, we sneak in love! #thatsmybaby
3. When he's ready to throw down.
2. When him and Rhonda were surprised to see us.
1. When he puts a ring on it.
On this day, I married the love of my life. Here's to a lifetime with my angel.❤

It's Friday Fun on The Sara Hillis Show!
Today on The Sara Hillis Show, as well as our usual mix of magic mushroom memories and mediocre musings from me, we're going to devote our back-to-back music mixes to novelty songs! Yes, on this and every Friday, we'll be dipping into the novelty vault for fun and interesting things which are guaranteed to make you laugh, or at least just scratch your head and say: "Now why on earth did they decide to do this one?" Today, we have some Spike Jones and some Little Jimmy Dickens in the first hour, and in the second hour, we're making a departure to do what I've always wanted to do. We'll be playing an original song and its sequel back to back. This isn't exactly novelty, but I think it dances along the boundaries, and that is what we do here on The Sara Hillis Show. We dance along the boundaries of life, living on the edge and all that.
So why not hang out with me for a bit of Friday fun? You can catch me at 12:00 PM Eastern on Friday, or if your Friday's not quite done even though the clock on the wall says it is, I'm also around at 12:00 AM Eastern on Saturday morning!

Sacred Heart lands a big football Starr from Norwalk
Recommended Video:
FAIRFIELD -- At six-foot-5 and 305 pounds, Andrew Starr is hard to miss, but if you do somehow overlook him, you might notice his wardrobe.
While some people choose to dress conservatively, that wouldn't be Starr, the former McMahon football standout who signed a national letter of intent last week to play at Sacred Heart University.
After his football days are over, Starr wants to be a Nike designer and claimed he was wearing "crazy" purple and green shorts while doing a phone interview with The Hour.
"I like to wear some flamboyant clothing," said Starr, a 2014 McMahon graduate who spent a post-graduate year playing at the Holderness School in Plymouth, N.H.
"It's fun for me. I wear some weird stuff. I wear a lot of purple because purple's like one of my favorite colors."
Jermetrius Troy, the football coach at Holderness, calls Starr "quite the character."
"He's full of energy," Troy said. "He's a fun guy. Everyone calls him Big Starr. He's just that guy who adds humor and flair to the room. You can see him from a mile away. He's like a fashionista."
Starr has a serious side, however, and is all business once he gets on the field.
"Andrew was a great lineman for us," McMahon coach A.J. Albano said. "He was the anchor of our line for an 8-2 football team (in 2013). It's no secret that we run the ball so when you want to be a ground-and-pound type offense, you're going to have to put your trust in linemen and there was nobody better than Andrew."
Starr was recruited by Sacred Heart when he was at McMahon and was one of the top players on the Pioneers' board at offensive tackle.
"He's a big kid that moves real well and has a lot of athletic ability," Sacred Heart coach Mark Nofri said. "He's got great feet.
"I think the year at the PG school helped him academically and it helped him mature a little bit and grow into his body, but he's one of our top guys coming in right now."
Starr was only 17 when he graduated from McMahon as his birthday is on Nov. 9, which put him in the class of 2014 with students several months older.
"I remember one of the main reasons why Sacred Heart was after him is because they do run the spread offense with a lot screens and they need their linemen to be quick and be able to move on the run," Albano said. "Andrew fits their mold."
Starr's family felt he would be best served by attending a prep school for a year to sort of catch up chronologically.
"I needed to bump some test scores up as well," he said.
Prep school is a route that Starr's brother Jeff also followed coming out of McMahon.
Jeff Starr, who is 6-foot-4 and 330 pounds, spent a year at the Canterbury School in New Milford before moving on to the University of San Diego, where he will be a senior offensive lineman in the fall for the Toreros.
Inititally, Andrew Starr wanted to play on the West Coast to be close to his brother and made unofficial visits to San Diego and San Diego State.
However, he commited to Sacred Heart after making an official visit last month and will be continuing his football career virtually in his back yard.
"For him to go on and play Division I football is a great honor for him and his family and we know that he's going to make McMahon and everyone that knows Andrew real, real proud," Albano said.
"It's a great program and a great education. I think that has to be talked about as well."
Starr will be joining a program on the rise as the Pioneers have made back-to-back appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs while going 19-6 the last two seasons and will be seeking a third straight Northeast Conference championship.
"It's 15 minutes down the road from my house," said Starr, who also looked at the University of Connecticut. "It's a comfortable environment for me. I like the coaching staff. I like the players.
"I had a good time on my official visit. I like the campus. There's a lot of stuff to like about Sacred Heart. It was a good fit for me."
According to Troy, Starr constantly works at his craft and is one of the most talented linemen he's ever coached.
"I think he's an immediate impact type kid (at Sacred Heart)," Troy said. "I wouldn't be surprised if in three years he's a candidate to be a captain."
It's hard to imagine, given his size now, but Starr was barely 200 pounds when he entered McMahon as a freshman.
"I gained a lot of weight over the four years of high school," he said. "I reached sort of the maximum of what I'd like to be at. My playing weight, I'd like to be healthy and a lean 295, 300, 305."
With the Pioneers losing four of their five starters on the offensive line, Nofri indicated that Starr will have a chance to play right away.
"We're wide open on the offensive line," Nofri said. "If he can come in and play as a freshman, we have no problem doing that. Being a year away from home and playing prep school, it's like he's a sophomore next year in college anyway."
Soon, the Big Starr will be back home, loud wardrobe and all.

How did you learn to appreciate yourself?
THE self-help books preach this moment of realisation when a person should reach the highest level of clarity—and at that level they should love themselves, accept their flaws, accept that the past is the past, and embrace the future.
It's a step-by-step guide that many people take a while to complete, because often they stumble at the point that highlights self-love, and accepting themselves for who they are, how they look, and with all the characteristics that they can't change. Because deeply ingrained in our culture, our psyche, our socialisation, is a thought process that there's a certain look, certain personality traits, and a certain state of being that is the ideal, and that should be what we all strive to be.
For many of us, clarity comes late, after many missteps along the way, as we try to meet the ideal we've become accustomed to striving for. For others, learning to love themselves wasn't as difficult a process. How did you learn to love yourself? These four women share their methods.
I left my comfort zone
Melissa B, 38:
I was rail thin throughout childhood and early adulthood, so thin that I tried various methods to gain weight— even dangerous things like chicken pills and all kinds of craziness. I would also wear several layers of clothing just to have some semblance of a butt and hips, and you know how Jamaicans are about 'mawga' people —it's either you're sick or starving. I was called all sorts of names, lived through all sorts of insults and accusations, bwoy, I went through it. I struggled for years with my self-esteem, but after I left Jamaica and lived overseas for a while and saw that different ethnicities actually liked my thin frame — that's when I started to embrace how I looked. It was a whole different perspective and I loved the attention. Now that I'm older and the metabolism has slowed down, and I'm packing on some pounds, it's the opposite — where I'm trying to lose weight —but that high that came years ago from being appreciated hasn't diminished. In fact, even now, with my little belly and fat face, I love the way I look.
My mate affirms me
Natalie W, 40:
I know they say that you shouldn't seek affirmation from other people, but it's my husband's constant compliments and admiration that has made me love who I am, even more than I did before. Even after I had the babies and wasn't feeling my best, he would gush over my body, even though I know that there's no way I look as hot as he says. It's given me a confidence boost that no waist trainer could, and I think that even if someone else was supposed to point out any flaws now, I'd just laugh, because I'm beautiful!
Daily words of affirmation
Susanne F, 42:
They started a fitness programme at work, and a group of us committed to losing pounds, eating right, attending affirmation classes, and exercising. I didn't want to join in at first because I was just too busy, but they convinced me to and it was the best decision of my life. I think the affirmation classes had the greatest effect— before that I was dealing with childhood abandonment from my father, a string of failed relationships, and body image issues, as my child's father had left me for someone younger, slimmer and lighter-skinned. Reciting daily words of affirmation made me stronger, and I was able to move past my insecurities, and the other day I even connected with my father on Facebook, and we've been talking.
Faith moved me
Latoya L, 45:
It was faith that did it for me— before that I hadn't been inside of a church in years. But one day I was at home, yelling at my children as usual, trying to balance my budget after a salary cut, and absolutely hating the choices I had made in life — from the career I was in to the number of children I had —and I had an epiphany. It was as if some almighty power was talking to me, and I listened. I was in church the following Sabbath, and amazingly, that day the message was about the importance of meditation. I've been doing it for about a year now — sitting or lying down for 15 minutes in silence and just letting thoughts pass through my mind. This has been beneficial to me in so may ways— I've laughed, I've cried, I've healed, and I love myself and my life.

Munich - Driving Tips
In the event of an accident, exchange names and insurance details (on the Fahrzeugschein) with the other party. The police must be called to every accident on 110. Leaving the scene of an accident is an offence.
Autobahns (and clearways):
Every vehicle driving on an Autobahn or a clearway must be able to travel at 60km per hour. Although Autobahns have no true speed limit, the advised maximum speed is 130km/h. Lower speed limits occur on some stretches of the Autobahn due to roadwork or Lärmschutz (noise pollution) areas, and must be observed.
Vehicles on the Autobahn have priority over merging traffic from the accelerating lane.
No stopping, parking, U-turns or reversing is allowed. In the event of an accident, emergency phones are located every two kilometres. Someone will answer when you lift the receiver.
Blood Alcohol Level:
Driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.3 parts per thousand, ie .03 can be a criminal offence if the driver is 'evidently' no longer able to drive the vehicle safely. Examples of this evidence given in the driving book include having the wrong lights turned on, driving extremely slowly and carefully and showing noticeable reactions in reaction tests.
0.5 parts per thousand is the legal blood alcohol limit. If you are caught over this you can be fined, have 4 black marks added to your licence record, and face a driving ban.
Driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.1 parts per thousand is always a criminal offence, even if you show no noticeable signs of being unfit to drive. If you are caught your permit to drive can be withdrawn and you can be fined or imprisoned or both.
Bikes are a very popular form of transport, particularly in Summer, so watch out for the following:
Watch for bikes when turning right, as often there are trees between the bike path and the road, so cyclists can be hidden. They have right of way.
You should always leave 1.5m clearance when overtaking a bike.
As a cyclist, be aware that the above blood alcohol limits to drivers of motor vehicles also apply to you when you're on a bike. If the police catch you, they can deduct points from your driving licence for offences committed whilst on a bike!
Documents to Carry:
You must ALWAYS carry your driving licence and the Fahrzeugschein (vehicle registration certificate) for your car when driving. The Fahrzeugschein should not be left in the vehicle when parked.
You must also carry a first aid kit and traffic warning triangle in an easily accessible place.
Driving Offences:
Different amounts of 'black marks' are issued for offences of different levels.
Your licence is withdrawn if you reach or exceed 18 black marks.
Black marks are generally cancelled after 2 years, after 5 years if 'punishment' is imposed, after 10 years if more than three months' imprisonment is imposed.
If you're under the influence or a regular drug taker (one hashish cigarette a day is considered a regular user) you are considered unfit to drive.
Level Crossings:
Turn off your engine when stopped at a level crossing.
Licence Validity:
If you need to update your licence, this must be done within six months of arrival in Germany. Some licences are transferable to German licences, otherwise you need to sit the test. See the Transport Section for more information. The German licence is issued for life.
Mobile Phones:
Drivers are not permitted to use a mobile phone or a car phone when driving if this means that they have to lift or hold the mobile phone or the receiver of the car phone.
No right turn on red!
Overtake only on the left.
You can use your horn and flash your headlights to signal overtaking when outside built-up areas.
Most cars have a blue parking disk with a clock on it to leave on the dashboard. Round your arrival time up to the nearest half hour and display the parking disk with this time.
"Mit Parkschein" means with a ticket from a parking machine (leave this on the dashboard).
It's the driver's responsibility to ensure that all passengers in the vehicle do not open their doors unless it's safe, which includes passengers on the curb side whose doors may hit a pedestrian or cyclist.
Pedestrian Crossings:
Unlike Eastern Europe, German drivers stop for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings.
If a police car in front of you flashes "Bitte folgen" it means please follow.
Right of Way:
If there are no roadsigns or traffic lights, the vehicle on the right has right of way.
Roadside Assistance:
For emergency roadside assistance, and other motoring benefits, join ADAC (the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil Club: General German Car Club). The information number is 0180 5 10 11 12, and the emergency assistance number is + 49 (0)180 222 2222.
Only indicate when leaving a roundabout.
Seat belts:
Seat belts are compulsory unless you are a taxi driver or a chauffeur transporting passengers, a door-to-door delivery driver, or the car is travelling at walking pace ie manoeuvring in car parks.
Snow chains :
The speed limit for all vehicles with snow chains fitted is 50 km/h.
If the speed limit is not signposted, stick to the following rules of thumb:
50km/h in a built-up area.
80km/h if towing a trailer.
100km/h outside built-up areas.
A white number on blue circle denotes a minimum speed limit.
A white number on a blue square denotes a recommended speed.
Many residential areas have a speed limit of 30km/h.
Traffic Calmed Areas:
In a traffic calmed area, pedestrians, children playing on the road and cyclists all have the same rights as motor vehicles.
Traffic Jams:
In a traffic jam, if you are last in the queue turn on your hazard lights to warn those approaching you from behind. Leave a clear path for emergency vehicles. On a two lane road this is down the middle. On a three lane road this is between the left and middle lanes. You are expected to drive up onto the footpath or take other such action if you are blocking an emergency vehicle.
You need winter tyres to drive in Winter (at temperatures below 7 degrees Celcius), otherwise your insurance may be void. With Winter tyres fitted you car is speed limited to 160km/h.
Young Passengers:
Children under the age of 12 who are shorter than 150cm may only be transported in cars if you use officially approved child restraints with a test mark. The restraints must be suitable for the size and weight of the child. A seat raiser and regular 3-point seat belt may be sufficient.

The Komori Lithrone SX40 RP is a high-speed, high-quality one-pass two-sided printing press based on Komori's flagship Lithrone SX series that offers great stability and short make-ready time.
The Lithrone SX40RP is equipped with the newly developed Asynchronous Automatic Plate Changing System (A-APC*) for significantly shorter make-ready times. The press is also equipped with the H-UV drying system, which enables fast print drying and short turnarounds. A wide range of other options is also available.
The configuration of the one-pass two-sided printing press, which does not use a perfecting mechanism, contributes to the efficient use of paper because the margins on the top, bottom, left and right that are required for a perfector, are unnecessary.
Mode switchover and air adjustments are unnecessary, allowing for shorter changeover time.
Labour-saving automated systems such as the KHS-AI (Advanced Interface) and benderless Full-APC are standard equipment.

By Bob Fischbach, Omaha World-Herald 07.01.2015
The Blue Barn Theatre's production of "Our Town" is a clear front-runner for the Theatre Arts Guild's best-drama award, and the Omaha Community Playhouse's "I Hate Hamlet" leads comedy nominees for the 2014-15 season.
The award nominations, announced Tuesday night, indicate a tight race for best musical, with four shows receiving 10 or more nods.
The Playhouse's "The Drowsy Chaperone" has a slim lead among musicals. Its 13 nominations include best musical, director and choreographer, along with eight acting nods and two in design categories.
"Spamalot," also a Playhouse show, is close behind with 12 nods, including best musical, director, music director, choreographer, five for acting and three for design.
Creighton University Theatre's "Cabaret" earned 11 nominations, including best musical, director, music director, choreographer, four for acting and three for design.
The Rose Theater's "Mary Poppins" snagged 10 nominations: best musical, choreographer, five for acting and three for design.
The fifth best-musical nominee, The Candy Project's "Gutenberg! the Musical!," earned five nods, including for both actors, director and music director.
Among dramas, "Our Town" earned 10 nominations: best drama, director, six for acting and two for design. Other best-drama nominees include SNAP Productions' "We Are Proud to Present …," the Shelterbelt Theatre's "The Other Sewing Circle" and the Playhouse's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" with four nods each, and the Blue Barn's "Walk the Night" with one. The Playhouse's "Enron" got six nods, though not for best drama.
"I Hate Hamlet" earned its favored comedy status with 10 nods: best comedy, director, five for acting and three for design. Other best-comedy nominees include three SNAP shows, "Calendar Girls" with five nods, "Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike" with three and "Harbor" with two. The Blue Barn's "Bad Jews" also earned two nods.
Of the 147 total nominations in 29 categories, the Playhouse totaled 54, the Blue Barn 17, SNAP and the Rose 15 each and Creighton 11. The Playhouse and SNAP each have four best-show nominees.
The awards cover shows that opened from late June 2014 to mid-June 2015. TAG members chose nominees, and ballots were weighted by how many shows and theaters each voter attended.

Is it Junior NTR's Baadshah next for the remake specialist?May 31, 2013
Over the past few years, Prabhu Deva has a reputation for being some sort of a 'Remake specialist' as most of the hit films that he has directed such as Pokkiri, Rowdy Rathore, Wanted and Shankardada Zindabad have been remakes. He is currently busy with the Hindi remake of Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana titled Ramaiya Vastavaiya.He is a favorite among producers for the commercial profitability that his films offer and also for the unadulterated entertainment that they carry.
It is being speculated now that his next film in Hindi would be the remake of the recent Telugu blockbuster Baadshah, starring Junior NTR. The lead hero and other details are yet to be firmed up but it looks like Prabhu Deva's tryst with remakes is set to continue unabated.

Meek Mill has joined Vine and to celebrate he has uploaded several clips previewing his new Dreamchasers 3 mixtape. The project is slated to release later this Summer, and will hold plenty of welcomed features.
The preview of Meek's Dreamchasers 3 mixtape include snippets featuring Future, Jadakiss, Gourdon and more. If you look close, you may also see a ruff tracklist of songs that will appear on the tape, two of which feature Trina and Waka Flocka.
In a completely unrelated Vine, Meek also shows us a tactic he learned in jail, and heats up some food with an iron. Completely unrelated, but definitely fun.

WASHINGTON — In a major setback for veteran care, the Department of Veterans Affairs admitted today that medical professionals have been mistakenly prescribing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) instead of curing it.
"We are currently going through all paper and electronic copies of our treatment forms and replacing 'Treat with [PTSD]' with 'Treat for [PTSD],'" said VA spokesman Matthew Gowan. "We sincerely apologize for the error and are in the process of correcting it."
Officials are blaming a clerical error on a provider form that hasn't been updated since 1921, causing the VA to mistakenly yet diligently terrify US service members for nearly 100 years. Dr. Tina Walker, head of psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center since 1936, has been prescribing an aggressive PTSD regimen to induce anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts in veterans, "taking their minds off of their debilitating injuries."
"Service members were exposed to things like Jane Fonda, their old team leaders, and Green Beans coffee to impair day-to-day function and cognitively override whatever conditions they would otherwise have been diagnosed with," said Dr. Walker. "Widows of service members expressed a high success rate, but in hindsight we can see how it may have been counterintuitive."
"Now that you mention it, so did secretly dosing hundreds of civilians and service members with LSD in government experiments, but here we are," added Walker. "Would you like one of these hard candies?"
In the wake of the mistake, acting VA Secretary Robert Wilkie also offered a formal apology in the form of a complimentary fireworks show during a crowded Dixie Chicks concert. Admission will require proof of disability rating at the gate.

Photography by Kevin A. Roberts
Matt McGuire has run some of St. Louis' finest restaurants: Monarch, Herbie's, Central Table Food Hall, Brasserie, Niche. But it all started at "a neighborhood restaurant with no neighborhood," the legendary King Louie's, off an industrial stretch of Chouteau. The King retired its crown in 2007. McGuire plans to open its successor, Louie, on DeMun Ave, in early November.
Did you ever consider another career path? I went to the Art Institute of Chicago and studied painting and sculpture, thinking I'd eventually teach that in school, because there aren't many other options for art majors. I caught the restaurant bug while in school. Back then, it didn't feel like work. Once you get a little older, it does.
Did you still paint or sculpt? Not on any sort of scale, but both my kids are artistic, so I stay connected. And restaurants support working artists in a number of ways…not the least of which is employing them.
Can the restaurant business be compared to any other occupation? It's like theater—or maybe a carnival: You open the doors every night and participate in a new performance. That part is intoxicating, but it's intense and pressure-packed. Things get screwed up, and people cry—but even that gets comfortable.
It doesn't sound comfortable. In addition to the creative aspects of cooking, I enjoyed putting teams of people together and being the coach. I've met outstanding people along the way.
Like whom? Like Chris[tine] Meyer [co-owner of Kitchen Kulture and Kounter Kulture]. I'm prone to hyperbolic statements at times, but I don't think there's been a better front of the house person in St. Louis, ever. I learned more from her about how to truly care for people and a build a crew of people than from any other person in the business. And I've worked for some that on paper are the best there is. There are very few chef managers who are special like that. Now she's combined her people skills with her chef skills
How do you develop those skills? Before she came to King Louie's, she'd been a manager at Blueberry Hill, where she was able to spot the good kids and teach them.
How did King Louie's come about? A few college buddies and myself got together and bought a college bar, but I was the one who knew about food and could cook. It developed into a neighborhood bar and grill—except we didn't have a neighborhood—and from there, as a survival tactic, really, we turned it into a fine dining restaurant. For people to make the trek, it had to be special.
What made King Louie's so special? The isolated industrial setting definitely played in our favor. It was like an oasis, a hideaway people wanted to keep secret. People from the county would get taken there, and you could read the Where the hell are we? reaction on their faces.
That back patio was an oasis, for sure. It was the most hidden patio in town at the time.
What do people miss, do you think? On the surface, it looks so easy, but it's rare to catch restaurant lighting in a bottle. But occasionally, a collective of people and an atmosphere combine to create a unique alchemy.
It always helps when the food is good. John O'Brien [of Three Flags Tavern, Herbie's] was a chef there, as was my cousin, Kirk Warner [of Savor, Kirk's Traveling Kitchen]. Also Steve Ciapciak [of McGurk's] and Cary McDowell [of The Crossing, Liluma, Winslow's Home, Revival, Pi Pizzeria, 'ZZA]. I was the opening chef but ended up with way more talented cooks than I.
King Louie's closed in 2007. We almost made it, but the viaduct that connected us closed and it took two years to reopen rather than one. People could still get there, but our sales were cut in half. My young daughter, who was able to skateboard across the bridge, said this is so cool, and I remember thinking, you have no idea how uncool this is. Then the building sat vacant for awhile and eventually became Revival, which supposedly met its fate when Highway 40 was closed for renovation.
You've worked at several notable places in town. How about a quick hit about each?
Monarch: Mixology was new to me, so I learned a lot working with Ted Kilgore, the father of local cocktail culture in St. Louis. I hired Josh Galliano, and that made a difference, but after the halcyon days of Monarch as a nightclub were over—which they were—it was hard to make a 10,000 square foot restaurant feel good to be in.
Brasserie: It was a mature restaurant when I came on the scene. Michael Petres was, and is, an awesome chef. I'll give him and maybe myself credit with making Brasserie better.
Central Table Food Hall: Having all those production areas working in unison under one roof was a challenging undertaking, one that none of us really understood, but it was fun to try to execute, and I had the best chefs in town—in Elliot Harris and Nick Martinkovic—to do it. Nick liked making tofu with Japanese sea water, which showed how far he went to do things the right way.
And then you worked for Gerard Craft again, at Niche and Brasserie. By that time, Gerard had four restaurants, so my job as service director became nurturing—or finding new—people, both managers and employees. I was good at having that 'maybe this isn't for you' conversation as well as convincing people who never thought of management that they'd be good at it. You must recruit people that connect with customers, the people that induce handshakes and hugs.
At which stop did you learn the most? King Louie's by far. For a lot of us it was like a small science fair project. Gaining knowledge often means implementation and doing, and there was a lot of opportunity there to do. Fortunately, it wasn't an expensive project and it grew organically. When we made mistakes, they weren't costly.
What's your management style? I identify the best people and empower them, so hopefully others will see that and step up. I tell them to say yes and make it sound like a good idea—even if it's not. What I enjoy most is establishing the trust and building the culture, making room for the tree to grow.
What's the biggest mistake made by floor managers? Thinking they know what's going on at every table. They're the last people to know because they're rarely privy to what's being experienced or said. Customers don't want to disappoint the manager—or the owner—or get anyone in trouble. A restaurant floor is no place for a control freak.
Any other managerial secrets? I try to get employees to realize that in any job, how you conduct yourself is how you end up being later on. A person might give themselves a pass for always being late, for example, but we don't. I try to convince them the value of getting how you see yourself as close as possible as to how we see you.
How did the King Louie's idea get rekindled? It was timing. When my mother passed away, I started thinking about time, and why not to waste it. And my job had the potential of taking me out of town and travel isn't as appealing as when I was in my 20s. At 48 and with two kids, I'm not the ideal road warrior. And I've always liked the DeMun area personally, so when I heard the Jimmy's Café space was being subdivided, it was time.
And there was the grocery connection. The building had been home to several family-run markets and my grandfather owned a grocery store in Paw Paw Michigan, so there was a deep down familiarity. It felt right for me to be there.
How much of Louie is doing something new and how much is recreating King Louie's? The fundamentals are always the same, it's next to impossible to recreate a restaurant. Calling it Louie is a nod to the folks who helped me when I did it before. We called it Louie back then, too.
Describe Louie's interior. The scale is right for a long, skinny space, but it's pretty garage band. No tablecloths, minimal distractions, 70-ish seats, a wood-burning pizza oven, a leather banquette, white marble on one wall, and a bar that wraps to join a kitchen counter with 21 stools.
Will Louie be an everyday joint, or a special-occasion place? I want to address what the neighbors want, so I'm shooting for $35–$40 per person, food and drink included. Offering pizza and items like oven-baked gnocchi helps lower the price point.
What style of pizza? I'm not looking to win an Italian pledge pin, but it's similar to Neapolitan. Ted Wilson [co-owner of Union Loafers] is the most knowledgeable dough person in St. Louis, and our chef, Sean Turner, who's returning home from New York City, spent a lot of time with him. Sean had been working there with French Laundry alum Jonathan Benno at Lincoln, an acclaimed Italian restaurant. Josh Poletti [formerly of Pastaria, The Libertine, and Basso] will be joining him, so the kitchen will be solid. I want people to think of Louie as a very good Italian restaurant.
Why Italian cuisine? I'm not going to be dogmatic in my Italian-ness, but I had a wood-burning oven at King Louie's, so a lot of the menu will be centered around that tool: wood-roasted chicken, hanger steak, oven-roasted fish specials… What we're doing is not overly complex—we buy good stuff and apply good technique. We won't want to be so hard core that we keep ourselves from cooking what we want to cook and what people want to eat.
Talk about the menu. Focused, manageable. Four pizzas, pastas, shareable vegetables, and mains, plus eight or so small plates and specials—about 30 items in all.
Jimmy's had a small patio. Will Louie? When I get licensed for that, maybe six small tables. All the windows will open up to that area. It won't be much. There's not room for much.
Will the wine list lean toward Italy? Italian wines pair incredibly well with food, many are affordable, I know the most about them, and I personally love them. So, yes. Maybe fifty wines total, hopefully nothing over $60. I hope we can keep a lot of stuff open, so lots of glasses and quartinos.
Describe Louie's cocktail program. Personally, I'm not that interested in everything that can be mixed with Elderflower, but I have hired someone who is. But Louie is a small place, so the beverage program will be space appropriate.
So what does that mean to the beer drinker? I love beer, but there's no room for a big, ball card collection of beers. We have an ample, food-friendly bottle and can selection. To avoid any squabbles we have one draft beer, Bell's Amber, a seminal beer that goes with everything. I've known Larry Bell for a long time and the Amber been my favorite beer for almost as long.
How will Louie differ from the competition? The food will be better and served by a staff that will make you feel welcome but also knows how to skillfully leave you alone. I want to create a space that feels right, and realize that's a hard thing. The scale of the old Balaban's bar—the shape of the bar, the perimeter booths, the corner booths—is a prime example. Layout, lighting, feel…that place felt perfect to me.
Will you take reservations? I have to. I still have people asking me to get them reservations at places I haven't worked in for three years. It makes better business sense to not take them, but practically speaking, it's necessary. It's expected. And people already have my number!
Lunch, dinner, brunch? No brunch. Sunday is the day I cook for my kids, the one day when they know I'm going to be home.
Will this Louie iteration be easier than the prior one? I've been in a restaurant every night for the last billion years, so it's not like I'm coming out of retirement. The fundamentals are the same, it's stressful especially at the beginning and you have to compartmentalize to survive. So no, I'm not crazy enough to think it will be easier, but it does feel good to make decisions instead of making them based on somebody else's vision.
What's your take on excessive noise in restaurants? It's a common complaint, one that I hear a lot in St. Louis. But ironically, every Cornell restaurant industry study says that diners are attracted to the excitement and the noise…even while they're complaining about it. Maybe it's a twist on the Yogi Berra thing…nobody goes there because it's too crowded. Then they all go there.
If someone tells you they want to get into the business, what do you say? I've been at this long enough that I've become a go-to guy for parents who want me to talk their kids out of getting into the business. Telling a young person they can't do something, or that it won't work, is the worst thing you can say, especially if the person is driven, because those are the people who can make it work. A better question to ask is do they want to do it. Schedule-wise, restaurants are very ugly and they don't work when you're not there. A person needs to honestly answer if several years down the road they want to be standing in a restaurant six nights a week. In most cases, the answer is no. They have to realize these things tend to live longer than a goldfish.

STUART—Even amid loss, hurts and hardships, people across our community have remained determined, hopeful and optimistic.
And now they have even more reasons to look up—literally.
The Stuart Air Show is returning to the skies Nov. 7 and 8. Celebrating its delayed 30th anniversary, the beloved regional event—sidelined last year by heavy flooding, which proceeded the tragic pre-show crash of a performer—will highlight performances from more elite military fighter jets than ever before.
Not all the action will take place exclusively in the air. The event will debut a freestyle motocross performance in which one rider jumps over a biplane—in flight! And one of the static aircraft gives festivalgoers the chance to sit in the replica cockpit of the Top Gun Maverick F-18 Hornet popularized by Tom Cruise in the famous film.
"This will be a Veteran's Day weekend that aviation enthusiasts, seniors, families—and anyone eager to experience a safe and exciting patriotic event outdoors—will not soon forget," says Amy Bottegal, president of the Stuart Air Show.
This year's event commanded remarkable attention to detail in:
· Assembling aerial military performers generally so in-demand they've not appeared together in North America in nearly a decade;
· Crafting and coordinating with leading health professionals comprehensive safety and sanitization protocols, volunteer guidelines and event layout;
· Honoring the memory of Dr. Joseph Masessa, the pilot set to perform last year who died Nov. 1 when his plane crashed at Witham Field hours before the show was set to start.
"The Masessa family looks forward to being able to memorialize him at this special event eventually," says Jeff Masessa, his brother. "Stuart will always be home to Joe; it's his final resting place."
A dermatologist with offices around the state, including Martin and St. Lucie counties, Masessa cherished the chance to appear in the Stuart Air Show and harbored a profound appreciation for America and the military. The exterior of his aircraft bore the names of more than 1,600 soldiers missing or captured during the Vietnam War.
One of Dr. Masessa's aircraft, a BAC Strikemaster, which him and family personally refurbished, will appear in next year's event.
The Stuart Air Show is also paying homage to Masessa through its logo, which was redesigned to include his 1968 Grumman OV-1 Mohawk.
"It's been a deeply emotional journey bringing the air show to its 30th anniversary celebration," says Bottegal. "Of all the difficulties—flooding so bad it forced cancellation of both days, funding challenges, scheduling issues, finally the COVID crisis—nothing comes close to affecting our air-show family as profoundly as losing Joe.
"After the crash last year, it was Joe's family who encouraged us to continue and they were sorry to see the rain and flooding prevent it from going forward," adds Bottegal. "But they've been incredible over these many months since, stepping forward to sponsor the event and doing everything they can to make sure our community remembers Dr. Masessa and his love for the Stuart Air Show, aviation, our veterans and our nation."
As the scope of the virus threat emerged, air-show leadership consulted closely with other event organizers. Incorporating multiple safety measures—including encouraging pre-event ticket sales, going cashless, installing numerous personal sanitization stations, requiring masks in select covered areas, frequent cleaning of key high-touch areas and regular temperature and wellness checks for volunteers—the Stuart Air Show team also met with health professionals from the Martin County Health Department and other health-industry experts to review the protocol.
The result is a safety plan on par with the "Disney standard," says Bottegal. And the massive 27-acre outdoor event space makes social-distancing a natural. Patrons can explore all the safety initiatives on the website before the show at stuartairshow.com/safety
"Our attendees always show up feeling confident that they'll see amazing aerial and static aviation displays," says Bottegal. "But we wanted to take the steps for them to feel even greater confidence in their ability to stay safe and healthy during the event."
Delivering on that expectation for "amazing aerial" display is a certainty this year. Due to the postponement of numerous air shows around the nation, the event—traditionally among the latest on the air show circuit's calendar—is reaping the rewards of going last.
In addition to the U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight and USASOC Black Daggers Parachute Team, the featured fighter jets—air combat aircraft that have not performed at the same event in the United States before —include:
· A10 "Thunderbolt II" Demo Team
· F16 "Viper" Demo Team
· F22 "Raptor" Demo Team
· F35 "Lightning II" Demo Team
The freestyle motocross show features acclaimed riders from across the country, including:
· Cody Elkins
· TJ Tiffany
· Jerad LaRue
Static displays of aircraft include:
· DreamBig Top Gun exhibit of the Maverick F-18 Hornet Experience—an exact replica of the fighter jet featured in the famous movie—invites guest to pose for pictures in the cockpit.
· C-47 Tico Belle is a memorial to the aircraft that 75 years ago took part in the D-Day invasion.
· TBM Avenger, a Grumman designed torpedo bomber like the aircraft flown by George H.W. Bush when he was shot down by the Japanese during World War II.
· M*A*S*H helicopter
· Douglas DC-3, which served as a wartime transport in the 1940s and deemed vital by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for winning World War II.

My name is Brandon Brownlee and I live in County Antrim in my hometown of Larne. My dad introduced me to acting at the age of 7 and it's something I have been actively doing since, I love performing and I learn something new with every venture I undertake! Most recently I loved acting in front of a green screen and having harnessed, wire flying time on set also!
I am both Spotlight registered https://www.spotlight.com/9174-5616-3826 and a young equity member, and have accumulated quiet a lot of time on set and have also IMDB credits, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8226338/
Recently I won BEST ACTOR in the Dublin University Film Festival in a short film called 'THE JAR' which can be viewed on line at https://youtu.be/XM4hqD-Xzy0 . This is something i am very proud of and I loved being part of the team on set! I Played the part of Davey in the 3 part BBC tv Drama called 'COME HOME' and also I played the part of a police woman's son 'Tom' in the hard hitting TV advert called 'WE ARE MOTHERS' . Out of thousands of auditions for the lead role in The Disney Artemis fowl, I managed to get as far as the last 4, only to be pipped at the post by and older actor. I can't wait for my next opportunity to act professionally!
I am a confident, very lively, outgoing boy and love being on set and working in the industry. I like to learn all the lines in a script rather than just my own so its much easier to feel and fall into the character I play. I can listen and understand direction and first and foremost I enjoy that time on set with the crew and my Dad.

Clean Water Act Revision: Headwater Streams and Wetlands Could Lose Protections – Comment by 4/15
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a proposal to redefine an important part of the Clean Water Act, which protects headwater streams and wetlands. The rule the Trump Administration is proposing to redefine is called "waters of the United States." It determines what waterbodies are eligible for protection under the Clean Water Act. Learn more here.
By the EPA's own estimate, the revision would remove protections for 51% of our nation's wetlands and 18% of streams, making it easier to pollute, pave over or build on them.
Headwater streams that depend on snow melt or rain would lose protections and regulatory oversight and wetlands that don't touch or flow into a larger lake or river could be drained and filled without a permit.
This rule would hit West Virginia especially hard. The EPA estimates that over 1 million West Virginians depend on drinking water that comes from areas containing streams that would lose protections.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA) — The University of Arkansas is adding a nearly 80 million dollar facility to its campus.
It's called Adohi Hall. The name "Adohi" is a Cherokee word meaning "coming to the forest." It was chosen in consulation with members of the Cherokee Nation. The name references the use of timber in the design.
The building aims to honor and remember Native Americans who passed near the area during the Trail of Tears period. It's the only residence hall project in the U.S. to use cross-laminated timber and the first multi-story advanced-timber structure in Arkansas.
"Inside, in the creative space, we have a marker room that has a laser cutter, 3D printer, sauttering station, sewing machines, paintings – all kinds of things," Vice-Chancellor of University Housing Florence Johnson said.
The over 200,000 square foot building fits a little over 700 students. It includes 500 semi-suites, 180 pods, indoor and outdoor performance areas and practice rooms.
A Trail of Tears marker is located approximately 1,500 feet south of the new residence hall.

Sermon preached by the Reverend Nicholas Lang
St. Paul's on the Green, Norwalk, CT
The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost – August 24, 2014
In the Name of God, who made and knows us, Jesus, who redeems and befriends us, and the Holy Spirit who enlightens and sustains us. Amen.
Two nuns were out shopping and passed through the aisle displaying beer. The first nun mused how nice it would be to have some beer with their pizza that night. The second nun agreed but said she wouldn't feel comfortable buying it. What would people think about them?
The first nun replied that she had an idea. She picked up a six-pack and took it to the cashier who had a surprised look on his face. "We use beer for washing our hair," said the nun, "a sort of shampoo." Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out a package of pretzel sticks, placed them in the bag with the beer, looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said, "The curlers are on the house."
Humor aside, I have the utmost respect for consecrated women and believe that their ministry has been a powerful witness for Christianity. I have very great affection for the Sisters of Charity who taught me and the School Sisters of Notre Dame in which community my great aunt was a member and with whom I have shared a wonderful friendship. Yet, the humor in that story does have a point.
When I was a child in grammar school, the nuns who taught us were surrounded with an aura of mystery. Part of that was the habit that covered them from head to toe, part was our illusion about what convent life was all about. It wasn't until years later when I was in college and studied alongside the many sisters who were there for summer courses that I learned that they were human beings with feelings and opinions and a sense of humor. They missed their families, liked to watch TV and enjoyed beer with their pizza. One of them secretly smoked!
They had answered a special calling in life and, unfortunately, the rigidity of their convent lifestyle not only masked much of their appearance but also concealed the unique human being living under the veil. I also learned how harsh their superiors could be and how tightfisted some pastors were with funds to provide decent food.
Things have changed and religious sisters—both Roman Catholic and Anglican—often wear regular dress and have the freedom both to allow their personality and unique gifts to be part of their service to the church and to offer it in a wide variety of venues and ministries. But there was a time when these women probably felt invisible on some level and at times may have questioned, "Who am I?"
I've begun with this reflection because of the poignant question Jesus poses today: "Who do you say that I am?" Jesus makes a distinction between what others—the crowds, the Pharisees, the naysayers, the curious—say about him and what his closest friends say about him. What other people think doesn't so much matter. Jesus wants to know what his closest friends think about him.
It should be no surprise that impetuous Peter can't wait to answer the question. This time he gets it right. His profession of faith is articulate and complete. Confronted with this question from Jesus with whom he has lived, prayed, traveled, and argued, Peter leaps out of the metaphorical boat once again: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God!"
Theologian Paul Tillich contends that Christianity was not born at in a stable to a peasant couple named Mary and Joseph nor was it born when angels declared to the shepherds that a savior had been born nor when astrologers came from the East bearing gifts for the "King of Kings," but rather there at the base of Mt. Hermon when Jesus of Nazareth asked his followers a question that billions of people ever since have had to face.
How many times in our lives might we have felt insecure and unsure of ourselves? Have we wondered, "What do you think I'm like, really?" or "You don't think I'm crazy, do you?" or "Am I okay?" It's a hard to live with the fact that the world doesn't want to know us as we really are. When are rejected because of our gender, race, personality, looks, age, sexual orientation, IQ, peculiarities; when people have huge and unreasonable expectations about who they want us to be, it can quickly erode any sense of self-esteem we have formed. It can be the precursor to a serious and complicated syndrome called depression. We may mask our unhappiness by feigned smiles behind which lives a reservoir of anguish, heartache, and even despondency.
The recent death of a popular comedic celebrity has raised awareness of the dire consequences of major depression and yet there are countless people who were not celebrities and who ended their lives. Over the years I have buried three young men, smart, gentle, gifted people whose smiles camouflaged the enormous unknown torment of their lives. What that was will remain a mystery to their family and friends. I suspect it had much to do with the question Jesus posed to his friends, "Who do you say that I am?" I suspect on some level they felt invisible.
Suicide becomes a final option when a person has lost one very precious and sometimes elusive thing: hope. Hope –in whatever form that takes for us—is the anchor that keeps at least one of our feet planted in this life. If we can restore for a person in distress the hope for something better than the present agony she or he knows, we can prevent their making an irreversible choice.
If you are living with depression that is at times overwhelming and debilitating, do not ignore it. There is no shame in admitting it. No one need tread this barren, black desert alone. Effective talk therapy and pharmacology are among God's ways of providing help.
If you know someone who seems to exhibit signs of serious depression, talk to them and encourage them not to isolate or live with it in secret but to seek professional help. If you are uncertain what to do, I'm more than willing to offer you some direction.
We know who Jesus is. Peter spelled it out for us. 2000 years of study, research, learning and listening to God's word has informed us that Jesus was a person that had compassion on the poor, healed the sick, preached justice, forgiveness and reconciliation, invited everyone to sit at the table with him, and would allow no outcasts. Here was a man who wore the face of God, who was God in the flesh.
What if we were to take Jesus' question and turn it around? What if we were to ask Jesus, "Who do you say that I am?" What would his answer be to that? He might point to our gifts, to the unique person we are, to the very features of our make-up we may have felt constrained to conceal or deny. Of this, I am certain. Jesus would tell you that you, sister or brother, are God's beloved one. You are precious in God's sight. You are loved just as you are and without condition.
We are asked to believe a number of things that are challenging for some: the Virgin birth, the Resurrection of Jesus, the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the doctrine of the Trinity. We may struggle with these doctrines—or not—but I'm wondering if the harder thing for many of us to really believe is God's enormous, even outrageous love for us; that God is not happiest when we are miserable and wants us to be whole, healthy, and happy.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear from Jesus' lips just who he sees in us? So, ask him. You have nothing to fear. "Who do you say that I am?" Knowing who Jesus is, we can pretty much predict the answer.
