Last night, I finished one of my favourite reads of the summer (so far!)
Are You Sleeping, by Kathleen Barber, was one of my most anticipated psychological thrillers for August and I had been reading rave reviews about this one all over the place. Now that I finished, I completely understand why. Fast paced and intricate, this one had me on the edge of my seat.
Josie and her boyfriend Caleb are living a blissful life in New York when a podcast, investigating a decade old murder case, begins to shatter everything. Josie, the daughter of the victim, has spent most of her life trying to escape her family's reputation and move past this tragedy (even going as far to changing her name) but old wounds are torn open rapidly as the podcast's popularity increases and, soon, Jo finds herself back at home confronting her past. As Josie begins to question everything, she finds herself colliding with her twin sister Lanie, a girl whose sole testimony put a man in jail. Has Josie's life been built on a lie? And can she move past them?
From the first few pages, I loved loved loved everything about the beginning of this book; it sort of had the same vibe as Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski and Making A Murderer series on Netflix. Barber brilliantly incorporates Twitter feeds, chat pages and podcast transcripts to make the story come alive; I found myself, several times, wanting to Google the characters and try to research the murder for myself before remembering that I was reading fiction.
Barber creates a whole series of characters that were memorable and developed and created such an elaborate world for them; even the smallest detail was given time to develop and I loved all the small touches. From Aunt A to the cult-joining mother, I wanted to know more about all of them. I think there is something to say about an author when the reader cares just as much for the smallest character as they do for their lead protagonists.
The ending was 100% predictable and I had it figured out within the first few chapters; however, I was compelled enough by Barber's prose and by the characters to continue reading and was still completely entertained throughout.
I felt like this one was the perfect read for summer; it wasn't too heavy or too dark, just pure addictive fun. I would highly recommend throwing this one into your beach bag.
It releases today!!

I know it's been a while as usual, but last week was crazy. I didn't have Monday off as I usually do, so that threw me off. Then I had to stay up on Tuesday while we paid a visit to the taxman. I wasn't too happy with our tax returns but a little something is better than nothing. We're supposed to get 400 back from California. {e:laugh} Cold Day in Hell, I suppose. The state is tetering on bankrupcy. Well, let it go. Every poltician in this state is corupt - but that's a post for another time.
I couldn't even find time to make my gym appointments for my trainer last week. I did make it to Weight Watchers were I droped 1.2 pounds. This week has been a challenge for me. We visited our favorite French restaurant on Friday in early celebration of Valentine's Day. I had my usual, the filet mignon which was delicious as usual. (Actually, it was a little red in the middle. I asked for medium and well, it was rare,) but I ate anyway. It was a nice dinner, but I'm still recovering from that. If I lose .2 this week I'll be thrilled.
The weekend wasn't too busy, but it rained and it's torture for two boys under 6 to be in the house due to the rain. Joe's doing good w/his therapies. His child development therapist has evalutated him at 23 months which is fantastic from his first eval. (He's now at 30 months) There's still work to be done, but thrilled at the progress.
That said, I thought I'd share the thought of the day with you: EBOOKS.
So, how many have ebooks? How many ebooks do you have? How do your read them? On your computer or on a Kindle or a similiar ebook reader? Why do you like ebooks. What's the appeal to you?
I ask because I don't have an ebook. Well, I have two ebook short stories, but that's about it. They're on my computer. Personally, ebooks don't appeal to me (right now) because I love getting my hands on a paper book, but that's not to say I'm not totally turned off by ebooks.
So what's happening with ebooks? Amazon is releasing Kindle 2 on 24 and it's going to have a new "controversal" feature - text to speech. What's text to speech? It's where the Kindle will read the text of the book outloud in a computerized voice.
The Author's Guild calls this a violation of copyright law since only an audio book has rights to read a book out loud. BUT DO THEY? That's what they claim. Amazon says this is different. This is a computer reading the book, not actors giving voice to a story. Amazon and a lot of the experts in the field think they have the law on their side, but if they go ahead with Kindle 2 then their might be a lawsuit from the Author's Guild.
So why buck the trend? Is ebooks the next BEST Thing?
Well, heck, there was unhappiness with CDs and and the Internet when they first started out, too. A lot of the Author's Guild complaints stem from the fact that they don't want to open the gates to an area they can't control. Even the publishing houses are afraid of change.
Think of it this way - if you self publish and offer a book through your website - you take 100% (or most of) the profit without having to go through the publishing gatekeepers.
Is that cool? Well - self publishing doesn't have a good rep. Sadly, most of what is self published is not up to par, suffering from editiorial and proofreading mistakes. Self published books like "The Shack" are few and far between. Until self publishing gets a better rep, ebooks (at least the self published ones) won't take off. The crux: Most ebooks are self-published. Traditional publishers are afraid to go there - yet. That said, if they could jump on the techno bandwagon, they might see their profits increase at a time when the traditional market is suffering right now. Heck, Harper and Collins just recently laid of 25% of it's workforce. Not Cool.
If the publishing industry wants to be innovative in this publishing downturn my advice would be to explore ebooks. But that's just me. Anyone else have any thoughts on ebooks?

Lizzie Rovsek Offers Love to Vicki Gunvalson Following Reunion: "Tough Times Don't Last"
The #RHOC pal shares kind words for the OC's OG, who also gets support from Lea Black and Caroline Manzo.
Vicki Gunvalson and her relationship with Brooks Ayers was at the center of Part 3 of the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion. During the sit-down, Vicki weighed in on a number of subjects — including her split from Brooks and the fact that she feels in her gut that she doesn't believe that her ex-boyfriend has cancer.
While her comments were met with mixed reactions from the other ladies during the reunion, RHOC pal Lizzie Rovsek showed her support for the OG on Twitter following the airing.
Vicki also got support from Real Housewives of Miami's Lea Black, who also headed to Twitter to open up about her friendship with Vicki.
Lea also noted that in addition to the drama with Brooks, Vicki's also been dealing with the loss of her mother.
RHONJ alum Caroline Manzo also addressed the controversy when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday Nov. 1. Watch her take on the Brooks situation below.

On the Liturgical Year for Teachers: Great Lent
This series of blog posts will offer basic information and resources regarding the liturgical year. It is our hope that Sunday Church School teachers will find this series helpful as they live the liturgical year with their students. The series will follow the church year in sections, as divided in the book The Year of Grace of the Lord: a Scriptural and Liturgical Commentary on the Calendar of the Orthodox Church by a monk of the Eastern Church. May God bless His Church throughout this year!
Great Lent consists of the 40 days leading to Holy Week, which, in turn, immediately precedes Pascha. Since its early days, Great Lent has been observed as a time of penitence, spiritual growth, and illumination. Although it is a time of great spiritual struggle, it is also a time of deep joy for Orthodox Christians, as we prepare our hearts to experience Christ's Passion and Resurrection.
In the early centuries, Church practice included baptizing people at the Paschal Vigil. This was also when Christians who had gone astray and returned to the Faith were reconciled to the Church. In order to train and prepare these people for joining (or re-joining) the Church, an "intense period of preparation, which included fasting, began forty days before Holy Week... it gradually became a universal institution, observed by catechumens and faithful alike for its salutary effects on the life of the Christian community." (1)
The monk-author of The Year of Grace of the Lord points out that the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts reminds us that "Lent... commemorates Israel's forty years of wandering in the wilderness, those forty years during which the chosen people...went forward with faith towards the far-off promised land..." (2, p. 109) He goes on to remind us that these years (as well as during Great Lent), God's people relied on Him fully, and He provided physically with food as well as spiritually with His presence, the Ten Commandments, and many miracles. The monk continues, "Lent recalls the forty days that the Lord Jesus spent in the desert during which he contended with Satan, the tempter. Our Lent must also be a period of fighting against temptation... During the time of Lent, the Church leads us, as if by the hand, towards the radiant paschal feast. The more serious our Lenten preparation has been, the deeper we shall enter into the mystery of Easter and gather its fruits." (2, p. 110)
Bishop Kallistos Ware said, "The primary aim of Great Lent is to make us conscious of our dependence upon God." (1) We are encouraged to focus on three things during Great Lent: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Lent is a time for repentance, that we may turn from sins and earthly cares to focus our whole being on Christ and His glorious resurrection, which heals us completely. This truth grants us great joy amidst the struggles we encounter during Lent.
"Let us begin the lenten time with delight.. Let us fast from passions as we fast from food, taking pleasure in the good words of the spirit, that we may be granted to see the holy passion of Christ our God and his holy Pascha, spiritually rejoicing." (from Vesperal Hymns)
Let us participate fully in the life of the Church throughout Great Lent. As we do, let us also struggle to properly prepare our hearts and the hearts of our students for Holy Week and Pascha. If we do, when we arrive at the Feast of feasts, we will be prepared and filled with joy!

Here are some related links, including ideas for teaching students about Great Lent:
Here is a blog post about Forgiveness Vespers, the beautiful way in which we begin Great Lent:
This blog post suggests ways to help your students begin Lent well. It includes links to resources such as a daily lenten calendar that helps families learn about the themes of Great Lent with suggested activities for each day, among others. https://orthodoxchurchsch...
This blog post about the Presanctified Liturgy is geared towards families, but could be helpful to share with your students' parents to help encourage them to attend these Lenten liturgies.
During Great Lent, we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation. Here's a blog post that can help you teach your students about this feast!
(An additional helpful resource is the quarterly publication "Blessed Children," published by St. George Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral, Pittsburgh, PA. Volume 4, Issue 1 is all about the Annunciation and contains articles related to it: ranging from the icon to the church of the Annunciation to a challenge to say "Yes!" just like the Theotokos did.)
The second Sunday of Great Lent is the Sunday of St. Gregory of Palamas. This blog post may be helpful as you help your students learn more about him.
The fourth Sunday of Great Lent is the Sunday of St. John Climacus. Here's a blog post that could be helpful as you prepare to teach your students about him.
The issue of "Little Falcons" magazine that is called "Fasts" is filled with articles related to fasting. "What Can We Do for Great Lent?" (pp. 20-21) offers practical suggestions of things children can begin to do during Great Lent to grow closer to God and to be more like Christ. It would make a fabulous discussion starter near the beginning of Lent; and your class could return to it later in the fast, to give yourselves a "checkup" as to how you are doing in these areas. "Fasts" is Issue #30 of Little Falcons. It is available as a back issue here.

The year started and so did the works with the second album, at the moment entitled "Seeing the end – Blood on the sun".
A concept album seeing the Seeresses turn towards atrophy, an exciting and dark journey leading towards an ominous expiry.
When the album will be done and how many songs there will, in the end, is a bit too early to tell.
News will be provided continuously.
There is new blood in the crew & this piece looks like it will come out harder and more brutal than ever before. Stay tuned.
The gig at Järfälla Metal Fest May 29th, 2021 is postponed to May 28 2022 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Another gig will soon be revealed.
A secret cassette is planned as participation in an underground split-release.

Jean Touitou is celebrating A.P.C.'s 25th anniversary this year, but he's still as hands-on as ever. This morning, he personally narrated the label's modest presentation of 16 looks at its newly renovated sixth arrondissement headquarters. A huge, curving vintage leather couch was trucked in for the appointments, which was fitting because, as Touitou explained, the clothes were inspired by a German nanny "sometime in the seventies who doesn't mean to be sexy but is."
The lineup was typical A.P.C.: denim on denim, cheeky jumpsuits, printed halter dresses, flat gum-soled sandals, all vaguely retro but still right on the money. A jean jacket with a little kick at the hem worn with a matching pencil skirt had some admirers, as did a pair of high-waisted jeans. Vanessa Seward's collaboration with the brand has expanded, and her prints added to the winsome feeling.

Now more than ever you skincare is critical, your mouth produces heat and bacteria, and the mask is keeping that all trapped in directly on your face. Our advice, wear less make up, adhere to that skin care 100%, and go make that dermatologist visit you've been putting off. These Mask cover 75% of your face so now is the perfect time to putting more effort into your skincare and to show off those fantastic lashes.
Keep it clean. The number 1 goal of a face mask is to limit the spread of bacteria between each other. With that in mind, it is important to think about how much your mask gets exposed to!
When you're on the go your outer mask comes into contact with dander, pollen and pollution, while the inner catches bacteria from your mouth and nose. When you have this much bacteria present and combine that with direct skin contact you may find yourself with facing terrible break outs.
Our advice, try your best to change those mask after a day of use! We know, it may seem wasteful but for your health and the sake of your skin, limit your reuse of mask. If you find yourself sporting a cloth mask, try to keep a couple in rotation. Masks have become a part of our everyday routine and it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, so make sure your health comes first!

Business Coach Steve Dorfman gave a thoughtful presentation on social media at this morning's Leadership Breakfast in Reston. I picked up another few good ideas to add to my own social media toolkit:
- Facebook's book club groups, visual bookshelf, plus option to publish a fan page;
- Q&A capability on LinkedIn
- importance of video in better conveying your thoughts than dry text (viz YouTube). [along those lines, I think I already have one cool video of my being interviewed before the 2009 SharePoint Users Conference...but more could be done...what do you think?]
Finally, Steve listed several, free web social media resources. A couple I had not heard of before:
- Ping.fm, which allows you to make one post and feed various social media platforms at once; and
- WiseStamp.com, which enables you to personalize and give social media linnks to your email signature file.

The collagen – what is it important for?
The structural protein collagen is an essential nutrient for the articular cartilage of a dog. Collagen is found naturally in all articular cartilage, where it has the important task to form particularly high tensile strength and at the same time elastic fibers, which in turn constitute an integral part of the cartilage. These collagen fibers in the cartilage of dogs are used to be able to optimally fulfill their important protective function for the joints and to be able to absorb the forces acting on the joints loads. Unfortunately, however, the body of the dog is not able to produce the important Collagen independently and therefore, each dog must take this structural protein regularly through food. Wherever a joint cartilage has a lower concentration of collagen, so a reduction in the cushion capacity of cartilage is affected and also a decrease cartilage and subsequent joint degeneration can adjust. Thus joint health is endangered.
Collagen strengthens the capacity of the joint cartilage
The result of a decrease cartilage is as said is a reduction in the buffer capacity of cartilage affected, whereby the load effects the movement to the full extent on the joints, i.e. can affect the bones of the dog. In the further course of the articular cartilage degenerates further and within a short time the dog can suffer severe pain and stiffness in the joint. Thus, of course, the agility of the dog and also the joy of life are severely diminished, because nothing dogs love more faithfully is to fulfill their natural urge to move in full. In an advanced stage of collagen deficiency and cartilage degeneration may develop osteoarthritis and / or arthritis.
How is collagen deficiency in dogs?
The collagen deficiency in dogs can be caused by very different circumstances, such as a consistently poor nutrition of the animals or by the natural aging process. Low grade dog food has in some cases only a very low concentration with the importance for cartilage structural protein collagen and therefore many experts see such feed as one of the greatest dangers for the collagen deficiency in dogs. But if constant high-quality food is fed with sufficient collagen, it can come as part of the aging process of the animals to a deficiency, since the collagen concentration decreases in the cartilage in the age of the animals.
With Collagen get joint problems under control
Collagen lends itself very well in the acute case of joint problems in order to support the establishment and preservation of articular cartilage and thereby also provide an ideal stress buffering. If the joint is sore effective relief, sound and existing joint pain in most cases is gradually felt. Since the causes of many joint problems result in dogs mostly from described cartilage degeneration and overloading of the cartilage, the collagen, as contained in DOG FIT by PreThis® JOINS collagen, is an ideal substance is to promote the smooth operation of the articular cartilage effectively.

UTECH Project Not About Gay Agenda
The University of Technology (UTech) has received USAID funding to the tune of US$2.4 million to boost its UTech Cares project, which is being snowballed into a national initiative called Fi Wi Jamaica.
The UTech Cares project was conceptualised as part of the university's response to a 2012 incident where two students who were alleged to be gay were beaten by security guards.
Now, with the Fi Wi Jamaica project set to engage various interventions with a strong focus on human-rights issues on a broader scale, members of the project team, who were guests during a Gleaner Editors' Forum yesterday, have made it clear that the project is not about promoting a gay agenda.
According to project director, Professor Rosalea Hamilton, "If you look at the totality of our project, this issue is one small part of it."
Project expert Dr Rohan Lewis, who is also dean of the Faculty of Education and Liberal Studies, rebuffed assertions that human rights is being used as a cover for the gay agenda.
"Part of what we are trying to do as a national university is to engage difficult social issues. There is a debate that has been raging in Jamaica for the last decade and a half in relation to this so-called 'gay agenda'. There are some real-life consequences to how that debate has unfolded. One of them has been the campaign against some musicians, for instance," he explained.
He went on to point out that UTech has had to look at the attitude of its students to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, given the high level of migration of its students to countries that are more receptive of LGBT people.
"A large number of our students, when they graduate, are going to leave Jamaica and go to societies where they are going to have to deal with this kind of issue. They migrate to the United States; they migrate to Canada; they migrate to the United Kingdom. We, in order to maintain our strength as an institution and maintain our reputation, cannot be producing students who are going to be beating people because they think they are gay," Lewis said.
"So it is important for us to navigate that in such a way so that not just our students, but other persons in the society, ... understand that there are ways of engaging that we need to understand."
Hamilton argued that universities cannot walk away from engaging issues regarding the LGBT community.
"It is a current social issue that we are grappling with as a nation, and I think universities cannot walk away from it, and if you notice that one of the approaches we have in the project is to study it ... . We feel that this issue is much more complex. It's not about tolerance and intolerance on a linear scale, ... and so we have to look at, for example, economic tolerance. Most Jamaicans would tolerate buying a property from someone who is homosexual because they have a home that they want. Many of us work for persons who are gay, and so there is tolerance in ways and places that define who we are ... . There are other kinds of levels where we may not be so tolerant, so we have to look at the complexity of the problem of tolerance, and better understand the problem in terms of how it manifests in our society."

Nadal overcomes tough Dimitrov for seventh semi-final of 2017
World number one Rafa Nadal battled through against Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-3 in two and a half hours to continue his strong year. He will now face Marin Cilic in the semi.Nadal vs Thiem live online: 2018 French Open final
Rafael Nadal will play Marin Cilic in the semi-finals of the Shanghai Masters on Saturday after the world number one was forced to fight past Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-7 (4/7), 6-3.
The Spaniard, who has never won the Shanghai showpiece, is chasing a seventh title in a brilliant season and a hat-trick of triumphs on the trot, having been crowned US Open and China Open champion in recent weeks.
The 16-time Grand Slam winner saw off the Bulgarian Dimitrov in Beijing last week but suffered some hairy moments in getting the better of him again in a nervy quarter-final played in overcast conditions.
Top seed Nadal, 31, grabbed the crucial break of serve in the ninth game of the first set and there was nothing between them as they entered a tense second-set tie break.
Nadal got the mini-break for a 3-0 lead in the tie break, but sixth seed Dimitrov scrapped back to level, and then stunned the Spaniard to clinch the tie break.
The two friends headed into a deciding set with Dimitrov in the ascendancy and the pro-Nadal crowd fearing an upset.
Dimitrov sensed another opportunity in the fifth game of the third set, but Nadal survived the break point.
Nadal took the momentum into the next game to immediately break Dimitrov and finally end the Bulgarian's resolve.
The Spaniard's victory march was only momentarily held up when a disturbance broke out in the crowd and the players were forced to wait as a small group of spectators was escorted out of the arena.
A relieved Nadal looked up to the heavens and raised his arms at the end.
The Croatian fourth seed Cilic beat the unseeded Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-3, 6-4 for a date with Nadal.
Cilic, bidding to reach the season-ending ATP Finals in London, grabbed the critical break in the sixth game of the first set on his way to a comprehensive victory.
Cilic said consistency was key.
"My team has worked really well in all parts of my game just to bring it up to the nice level that I can keep it up throughout every single week," he said.
"I got to understand also all the things that we were working on.
"They are quite clear for me and I also am a little bit more consistent this year in serving performances.
"I'm winning quite a lot of service games and a lot of matches."
The remaining two quarter-finals pit number two Roger Federer against unseeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet, the winner will play Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro or Viktor Troicki of Serbia in the last four.

TORONTO, Ontario, October 5, 2018 – Toyota is conducting a recall involving certain 2018-2019 Tundra and Sequoia, and 2019 Avalon vehicles in Canada. Approximately 15,774 vehicles are involved in this recall.
Due to inappropriate programming in the airbag electronic control unit (ECU), a fault may be erroneously detected during vehicle startup which would disable one or more of the sensors used to detect crashes. This could result in the side and curtain shield airbags and/or front and knee airbags not deploying as designed in a crash. As a result, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash and regulatory requirements in certain markets may not be met.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will update the airbag ECU programming at no cost to customers. Owners of all involved vehicles will receive direct notification by first class mail starting in late October.
Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date Safety Recall information on Toyota vehicles, customers should check their vehicle's status by visiting Toyota.ca/recall and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For any additional questions, customer support is also available by calling Toyota Customer Interaction Centre at 1-888-TOYOTA-8 (1-888-869-6828).

In the final State of the Union address of his term, U.S. President Barack Obama pledged to narrow the gap between rich and poor in the United States. The New York Times reports Obama showcased his core economic principals in the address on Tuesday, seeking to appeal to ordinary Americans who are suffering in a time of economic hardship and uncertainty. The president called again for changes to the tax code that would force wealthy Americans to pay more, saying such policies are seen as "common sense" by most Americans. He proposed using any gains from withdrawal from Iraq and a more limited role in Afghanistan to pay down debt and invest in infrastructure. In an emotional moment, Obama warmly embraced former Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was severely wounded in a shooting incident in Tuscon, Arizona last year. Obama closed his speech with a reference to the Navy Seal team responsible for the killing of Osama Bin Laden: "When you're marching into battle, you look out for the person next to you, or the mission fails."

« AnteriorContinua »
LORD God Almighty! for the sake of Him who died on the cross to save sinners, have mercy upon us, forgive us all our sins, negligence, and ignorance, and grant us Thy Holy Spirit, that we truly repent them all. Enable us to consider wisely the actions and events of the day now past, and to call upon Thee with lowly, penitent, and obedient hearts, while it is yet now, the accepted time. Teach us the great love of our Redeemer for sinful man, and through Him thy gracious promises of pardon, and help, and mercy. Let not our hearts be hardened within us, but soften them and renew them after Thy law, that we meekly confess our offences against Thee and against our neighbour, in the stedfast purpose of amending our lives. Put away from us all impatience, perverseness, and ill-temper, all offensive sayings and uncharitable thoughts. Deliver us from pride and hypocrisy, from malice, hatred, and envy, from selfishness and discontent: and set each of us to the performance of our several duties with cheerfulness and zeal. Make us active and diligent in our earthly calling, and ever mindful of Thine honour and glory. Preserve us
from all undue anxiety about the things of this world, and grant us strength and wisdom to lay up for ourselves a treasure in heaven. May we upon all occasions do to others as we would they should do to us; and think and speak of others as we would they should think and speak of us.
Work in us and work with us, that we entirely believe and substantially render our religion the main business of every day: and that in humble gratitude we leave under Thy continual providence every person we love and every pursuit we cherish. Make us earnestly thankful to Thee for Thy great goodness to us and to all men, for the means of grace and the hope of glory. Bless our friends and relations. Protect us all in soul and body this night, and of Thy mercy so conduct us through this life, that finally we partake Thy salvation in Jesus Christ. Amen.
Let us pray.
UNTO Thee, Lord God Almighty, would we offer up our thanks through Jesus Christ, that Thou hast brought us unto another Sabbath. In His name would we humbly beseech Thee to give us that due sense of all Thy mercies, that our hearts may ever be unfeignedly thankful; and that throughout this day and every other day it may please Thee to continue each of us on earth, we may earnestly desire Thy Spirit, and honestly endeavour to do Thy will. May that Holy Spirit fill us with contrition for our frequent and grievous offences against Thee, and deliver us from the bondage of sin, and work in us a lowly faith in Jesus Christ; so that our tempers may be softened to acknowledge and confess our utter unworthiness, and that we may look to the cross of Him who is the propitiation for our sins, and may humbly and entirely purpose availing ourselves of that assistance for which we cry out unto Thee. Let us not be wise in our own eyes, but walk in Thy fear and depart from evil. And forasmuch as of Thy great goodness Thou hast baptized us into Thy holy Church, grant that we may indeed die unto sin, and neglect not the promise of eternal life revealed to us in Him at once the Author and Finisher of our faith. Have mercy upon us for His sake, and suffer us not at any time to do despite unto Thy Holy Spirit. On this day, more especially set apart for Thy service, grant us in Thy Church an humble and teachable disposition, and preserve us from all wanderiag thoughts, all perverse and unprofitable reasonings. Take from every heart all ignorance, hardness, and contempt of Thy word. Receive our supplications for all estates of men in Thy holy Church, that every member of the same in his vocation and ministry may truly serve Thee. We would humbly implore Thy blessing upon this household, and upon all our friends and relations. Give unto each of them, and unto each of us, grace to put off the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and to put on the new man, which is created after Thee, that at the second coming of our Redeemer in power and great glory to judge the world, we may be found acceptable in Thy sight, through His mediation; through whom, unto Thee, Lord God Almighty, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
O MOST merciful God, who according to the multitude of Thy mercies dost so put away the sins of those who truly repent, that Thou rememberest them no more, have compassion upon us for the sake of Thy Son! have compassion upon us miserable sinners, who most earnestly desire pardon and forgiveness in His name. Renew in us whatsoever has been decayed by the fraud and malice of the devil, or by our own carnal wills and frailty. Cause us to bear Thy lovingkindness, for we would trust in Thee, to know the ways wherein we should walk, for unto Thee would we lift up our souls. 0 Thou that takest pleasure in them that fear Thee, in them that hope in Thy mercy, cause us, we implore Thee, to understand all Thy graciousness in Christ, through whom we have the means of grace and the hope of glory. Work in us and work with us, that our hearts may sincerely acknowledge all Thy goodness and lovingkindness, and our lips be filled with thankfulness and earnest praise. Enable us by constant diligence in our earthly calling, and zealous labour to do Thy will, so to redeem our time, that we be continually advancing and advanced along the path which leads to salvation. Make us deeply feel

Tips from a licensed commercial electrician
I'm a licensed commercial electrician and I do commercial electrical work.
So we're bringing power in from the High Line's and feed the building, feed a lot of equipment.
To run a conduit and power to stuff we do a lot of digging underground work like getting things ready for build up to the building, pulling wire.
Some of the wiring poles are 10 inch in diameter it's heavy work with your hands all day and tools. Sometimes you get rain in or it's real cold out whatever you're still out here working
A typical workday will get started probably about six, get out to the job site some days maybe doing some underground, other days you might be wiring panels up, pulling wire that's something that I've always liked about it is things change every day.
You're always part of a team you might go into the service call or something by yourself but a lot of things that we do, you want it to be safe.
You usually stick to 40 nut work there's meetings 80 hours a week – you know jobs have just got to get done you have deadlines
You can travel anywhere do it wired up houses and garages when I was on vacation just add a plug
I know a lot of cats at traveling follow storms I've always made a good living at
You got to be able to read a tape measure a lot of geometry being able to read prints
I used to climb up in attics doubtful wire with my dad lost 13 years old I got working every day when I was about 18 19 get ahold of the local electrical contractors to find out if they're hiring.
Get started with a good group of guys and you learn a lot I get a lot of mentors that I've learned from
You get four years of experience journeyman's license and a half you had journeyman's license before you test out a new master
That allows you to open up their own business to pull your own permits insurances and bonding
I got to take a continuing education class every year four hours long are you a person to take a class
People don't like messing with electricity and it's a specialized trade you can do a lot with it. It's fun personal satisfaction after good day's work there's a camaraderie working with everybody and the satisfaction.
You look back and you see you know just slag got here behind us whatever and then you know seven months later eight months later there's a building there and people are working in it.

Interesting topic from the point of view of somebody who was once on "my side" of divide (client) and is now with a vendor. Of course, giving some "secrets" away is paramount to shooting herself into the foot ….
Once the presentations become publicly available, I suggest a quick look at it.


text: Snow White's stepmother looks like a pussycat compared to the monster under which Adeline Yen Mah suffered. The author's memoir of life in mainland China and–after the 1949 revolution–Hong Kong is a gruesome chronicle of nonstop emotional abuse from her wealthy father and his beautiful, cruel second wife. Chinese proverbs scattered throughout the text pithily covey the traditional world view that prompted Adeline's subservience. Had she not escaped to America, where she experienced a fulfilling medical career and a happy marriage, her story would be unbearable; instead, it's grimly fascinating: Falling Leaves is an Asian Mommie Dearest.

On August 10, 2014, 23-year-old Joe "String Bean" McConaughy—a recent college grad who grew up in Seattle—took his last steps on the 2,660-mile Pacific Crest Trail, crossing into Canada's Manning Park exactly 53 days, 6 hours, and 37 minutes after setting off from the Mexican border. If anyone's counting, that's six days faster than the previous record, and it took a steady and relentless pace of 50-plus miles (and 8,000 calories of pound cake, peanut butter, and tuna) per day—plus the help of a faithful three-person support team. Inspired by the death of his second cousin, Colin, of a rare neuroblastoma cancer at age two, McConaughy started out as an average middle-distance runner and ended up in the thru-hiking firmament. Here's his take.
What made you want to do it? Run the PCT as fast as you did?
When I was about 13, I thought of a crazy idea to run from my house in Seattle to my uncle's in Orange County. I mapped out an entire route, with stops at hotels and restaurants, down I-5. Needless to say, it never came to pass. As an Eagle Scout, I used to be a huge outdoorsman, and the Cascades were our favorite destination. At Boston College, I didn't hike at all—I didn't have a car, and I ran track and cross-country, so I was competing year round. I wanted to get back into it, maybe combine hiking with running. Then I looked at my old map route down I-5 and realized how dumb I had been. Why run down a highway when I could traverse the PCT that I had grown up on? And I had an opportunity to make it so much more than just "reconnecting with the wilderness." I wanted to do something in memory of Colin that would make my family, specifically his parents, feel proud and loved.
What were your highs and lows?
The only part where I thought about giving up was in the Sierra Nevada, the most beautiful, but also most remote and challenging part of the trail. On my birthday, I had planned to ascend Forrester Pass, the highest point on the PCT, and cover 43 miles before meeting my crew with a sleeping bag and food. I never found them, and spent 82 hours, about 68 unplanned, by myself through the PCT's roughest section. It was a pretty frightening experience, but I had help from a ranger, a food drop, and fellow hikers to get me through. I loved my second to last day. Just after Rainy Pass in Washington, you are surrounded by the North Cascades. In early August, there is no snow and you are surrounded by rocky giants. My last night, I hiked until about 11:30 p.m. It was the night of a supermoon and everything was lit up.
Your favorite spot?
The Palisades. Tucked into the Sierra Nevada, it's a huge effort to climb up Mather Pass. Just after it though, you find the lower Palisade Lake. It's incredibly gorgeous. I ran by the lakeside for half a mile, with green meadows off to my right and a crystal blue lake on my left. Farther on each side were nearly vertical walls of mountains. There are a series of waterfalls that I had to descend via steep, unfriendly switchbacks. It was as if the Sierra wanted the lake to be hidden from the world.
How does one train for such a thing?
I stuck with my track training—60 miles a week with a 12-mile long run. I supplemented this with a lot of high-rep, low-weight leg lifting. After the season was done, I rested for 10 days. Then I had three weeks of training, going anywhere from 20–35 miles on long runs and doing 5 or 6 miles in between those. A week before I left, I did two 40's back to back, and rested for 4 days.
Any key pieces of gear that saved your butt?
The Gregory Tempo 8 pack. It could carry about 4,000 calories (if I really needed it) and was incredibly lightweight. I don't know which one did the job—my SmartWool socks or New Balance shoes—but I only got four total blisters. If anybody is doing this, have a satellite phone.
What did you eat, anyway?
My big treat was Honey Stinger Waffles. They are like mini waffles cooked in syrup. So incredible. Then there's the driest food you will ever eat: a double peanut butter bagel sandwich. I had one next to Mt. Baden Powell. I was panting heavily, and had to stop to finish it. I think it took me around 45 minutes to eat one while running. But I loved pound cake. In the North Cascades, I ran out of food for about two days, and lived off of bumming bars and extra food from fellow hikers. One of these hikers gave me a loaf of poundcake. She made me believe in angels.
What's your advice to anyone trying to tackle the whole PCT?
If you run, please do it supported. There are simply too many variables that are out of your control. I don't believe it is safe to do it alone. That being said, if you have a crew, be smart and be safe. Also, please be respectful of the trail. We have a saying called "hike your own hike," which is often stated, but not often practiced. No matter how someone else is choosing to experience the trail, no way is "better." If you are attempting to go for some kind of record, you are not king of the trail.
What did you learn?
The importance of family. I am very blessed to be in a situation where I had the opportunity to complete such an incredible trip. My father inspired me to love the outdoors and to pursue running. My mom has always been there for me when I have lost my wallet, keys, and passport. My brother helped me learn to laugh and not to be so critical of who I am. I also learned a lot about the support of community—it took a village to get this project together. I hope Colin's parents and brother can feel all that love. One of the reasons we were so successful was the dedication of my support crew. It's one of the weirdest jobs: You have to get up and sleep at ridiculous hours, spend much of the day twiddling your thumbs, but then be on-point and ready for slip-ups. I don't think I would look very happily back on this trip if Jack, Dills, and Jordo weren't there for me.
What's next?
I don't think I am looking for a way to top this. As of now I am content with life. I would like to do a Triple Crown (Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and PCT), although I don't know if I'd do it for speed. I might try a blitzkrieg on the 272-mile Long Trail in Vermont next summer, which sounds like a blast. I certainly do enjoy the combination of extreme distances and trails. It is very freeing.

When did Americans decide they were okay with Democrats exempting themselves from the same laws everyone else is required to follow?
Fox News reporter Leland Vittert had a brief exchange with Al Sharpton and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
Vittert said he wanted Rawlings-Blake to answer a number of questions about the rioting over the past few days in the wake of Freddie Gray's death. He said he asked: What do you have to say to the number of officers injured, and what do you have to say to businesses that were looted during a reported "stand down" order?
"Why can't we ask questions?" Vittert asked.
Rawlings-Blake remained silent while Sharpton said they'd answer questions at the press conference.

Vittert added that he asked officers who "shoved [him] out of the way" why they were protecting the mayor from simple questions, yet decided not to protect businesses from rioters. Via: FOX News

Latest Pixel 5 update brings camera fixes, connectivity and GPU improvements
Google's Pixel 5 was never a performance champion. In fact, the Snapdragon 765G-powered device managed to score below similarly equipped phones from other brands in our own benchmark testing. The latest Pixel 5 update now brings improvements across the board including performance optimizations in graphic intensive apps and games.
Google Pixel Security Update for April 2021
The April update also brings third-party camera quality improvements, solves VPN connectivity issues and brings system and UI optimizations. Apart from Pixel 5, the new update is also bringing the same additions to the Pixel 4a 5G.
The Pixel 3 series, Pixel 3a series and Pixel 4 series are also receiving similar updates in terms of connectivity and system optimizations.

Five Questions for the Bartender: Altura's Forrest Foster
Forrest Foster hails from the edge of Madison Valley, worked his way up from bussing, and has "no time for mediocrity." The snappily dressed Seattleite manages and tends the bar at Altura, his employer of about one year two years. About his current job, Foster says, "I spend most of my time in the pursuit of the better beverage."
Here, five questions for Forrest.
What current cocktail trend is completely overrated? Sometimes, I feel like cocktails are overrated. I don't mean that I don't like cocktails; there's just such a vast number of spirits available to the public right now. I think a bartender's job is more like a sommelier than ever. While you're bringing the guest a beverage that they enjoy, you're also an advocate for the producers of the beverages that make it all happen. This has been especially evident with the recent mezcal craze—places like Liberty have been doing an amazing job getting these small producers publicity. I really hope to see the same thing happen with French brandy. Calvados needs more love.
How do you stay inspired as a bartender? Working with a chef like Nathan Lockwood keeps me abreast of the rise and fall of produce season to season, and gives me access to unusual ingredients and the highest quality produce. There's always something to play with. I have a partially obsessive nature. A lot of times I'll smell something, or taste something—sage blossom, green coriander, etc.—and it's all I can think about until I make something with it that clicks.
What's the most underrated spirit? Grappa. I love grappa, and I spend a lot of time unearthing and promoting little known producers. One of the great things about the many guests we take care of at Altura is their openness to trying new things, a sort of trust. It gives me a lot of freedom to introduce people to the things they probably haven't had a chance to appreciate. Nardini is one of my favorite grappa producers. They make a really traditional grappa that encapsulates everything I adore: the funkiness, the stark honest fruit character, and the potency.
What's the best drink you make? Whatever makes someone the happiest. But people really love my black pepper inspired cocktail—it's potent. I make a spicy syrup with a blend of black peppercorns, long pepper, and comet tail pepper. Add a little bourbon, nocino, and bitters and you have a Pepe.
What are three things you love about living in Seattle? Seattle, especially Capitol Hill, is extremely walkable. I love having everything at my fingertips. I love Georgetown—the view of downtown is incredible. I dream of one day opening a restaurant with massive bay windows looking out on that landscape. Because I've lived here my whole life, it's hard not to take everything for granted, or to even understand what I might be missing elsewhere.

November 12, 2013
We have just concluded the 11th ASEM Foreign Ministers' Meeting. This is the first time that India has hosted the biennial ASEM Foreign Ministers' Meeting since we joined the group in 2007.
ASEM FMM11 was attended by 34 Foreign Ministers and 11 Deputy Foreign Ministers from Asia and Europe. All 51 ASEM members were represented.
Vice President of India, Shri M. Hamid Ansariinaugurated the ASEM FMM11 yesterday morning. We, thereafter, had two Plenary sessions, followed by Retreat today. This is the first time ASEM Foreign Ministers have met in Retreat.
The overall theme of the meeting was "ASEM: Bridge to Partnership for Growth and Development." It provided us a very useful opportunity to have discussions on a number of issues of interest, including economic and financial issues, sustainable development,
non-traditional security challenges and regional and global issues. We also assessed the achievements of ASEM over the past 17 years of its existence as well as the way forward.
In our meeting over the last two days, we agreed to intensify efforts to bring about greater synergy between Asian and European partners in ASEM across the threepillars of political dialogue, economic collaboration and socio-cultural exchanges.
We have issued a Chair's Statement that is a summary of our actual discussions, prepared by the Chair in consensus with ASEM partners. We have successfully avoided the endless text negotiations that had taken up precious time in previous meetings!
Breaking away from the declaratory nature of previous ASEM deliberations, India, as Chair, sought to steer the forum from 'dialogue' to 'deliverables' and I am glad to say that we were successful in our endeavour. ASEM FMM11 was successful in using the strength
of political dialogue in ASEM to forge tangible cooperation amongst members. This marks the beginning of a new orientation for future ASEM meetings. Members agreed that the dynamism of ASEM should find expression in tangible result-oriented initiativeswhich
could be utilized to define joint responses by Asia and Europe to global and regional challenges and alsoseize opportunities for growth and development.
12 areas have been identified by members for tangible cooperation. For each area, multiple countries have expressed interest in identifying specific initiatives for enhancing cooperation in that area between ASEM members.
India would be working with interested ASEM partners in the areas of Sustainable Water Management, Energy Efficiency Technologies, Disaster Mitigation and Response, Vocational and Skills Training and Education and Human Resource Development.
Disaster risk mitigation and management has come out to be an urgent priority for collaboration in ASEM, more so because of the destruction and loss of life caused in Philippines and Viet Nam by the typhoon Haiyan. ASEM Ministers expressed solidarity and support
for the victims. We felt that ASEM should have capacity to respond immediately in such instances. Many members have committed support in response to the specific requirements conveyed by the Philippines and also indicated their readiness to do likewise for
Viet Nam.
We have seen immediate results in the case of ASEM's response to devastation caused by the typhoon Haiyan. As a measure of support, India proposes to send immediate relief supplies to the Philippines to help those affected by the typhoon. An aircraft with 15
tonnes of relief supplies will depart for the Philippines tonight. The material will consist of medicines and hygiene chemicals; fresh water and water purification material; tents, blankets, mattresses, tarpaulin and ground sheet for shelter; pre cooked meals,
biscuits and milk powder; such that the affected persons can be provided immediately relief in terms of medical treatment, shelter and food. As a follow up measure, we shall consider sending a ship to the affected areas equipped with water treatment facilities
and additional relief material to provide rehabilitation measures as well as transport to effectively ameliorate the sufferings of those affected.
We have exchanged views and ideas on how to revive growth, create jobs especially for the youth and catalyze economic growth. We have also discussed non-traditional security threats in detail, particularly, terrorism, drug trafficking and transnational crimes.
We exchanged ideas to address food, water and energy security, as well as address the emerging issues of cyber space and the issues related to cyber crime and cyber security which are confronting national governments and institutions on both Continents.
We have endorsed the recommendation by our Senior Officials to set up a Working Group comprising ASEM members and ASEF to devise a Press and Public Awareness Management Strategy for ASEM.
In this context, I would like to mention the joint initiative by India and the Asia Europe Foundation to host the 9thAsia Europe Foundation Journalists' Colloquium in Gurgaon on 11-12 November, 2013. We will also be co-hosting with ASEF a two week project in
early 2014 on "Sustainable Urbanisation in Heritage Cities" aimed at students and young professionals from ASEM partner countries.
ASEM will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2016 and the Ministers have decided to set up a Working Group from amongst ASEM members and ASEF to devise a road map for the 20th Anniversary celebrations. This will continue as work in progress until the 12th ASEM
FMM in 2015.
The Asia-Europe Foundation, as the only permanent institution of ASEM, is making an important contribution to the ASEM process. We have endorsed the recommendation of Senior Officials that the ASEF Board of Governors and Executive Director partner the effort
to bring closer synergy between ASEF activities and ASEM.
We also discussed Croatia's request for membership of ASEM following its accession to the EU earlier this year. Ministers welcomed Croatia as "Guest of Chair" for all ASEM meetings in 2014 till a decision on its membership at the ASEM10 Summit in Milan, Italy
in the second half of 2014.
The EU and Italy briefed us on preparations for the 10th ASEM Summit which will take place in Milan, Italy in 2014. Luxembourg has offered to host the 12th ASEM Foreign Ministers' Meeting in 2015.
In all, it was an excellent meeting. I think we made real progress. We have given voice and visibility to the priorities of Asia in the ASEM agenda. Growth and development are of interest and relevance to both Asia and Europe. The reform in working methods
will allow ASEM members to make more focussed efforts to give form and content to urgent priorities on both Continents.
I also had bilateral meetings with many of the visiting ASEM Foreign Ministers on the sidelines including my counterparts from China, Japan, Bangladesh, Romania, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Malta, Cyprus, Czech Republic, RoK, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Bulgaria,
Slovenia, Portugal, The Netherlands and the EU High Representative.
Thank you.

Ricketts Family Purchases More Rooftops, Now Up to 10 Being Operated Together
With the Wrigley Field renovation and development project going full bore, and with the lawsuit involving the rooftops seeking to protect their views into the stadium not looking good for the rooftops, that whole story line has fallen off the literal and metaphoric front page around here.
That doesn't mean stuff involving the rooftops isn't still big news. Like this, for example:
Breaking Cubs news: Ricketts family purchases 3 more Wrigley rooftop properties. Now owns > half the rooftop market: https://t.co/8FmR7u9yp9
— Danny Ecker (@DannyEcker) January 13, 2016
That gives the Ricketts Family an interest in 10 of the 16 rooftops around Wrigley Field, and owns a full nine of them. The last reported purchase was back in mid-2015.
It's something I've talked about for years: imagine a scenario where the rooftop experience is an integrated part of the Wrigley Field experience, together with actual Cubs-related infrastructure in the lower levels of some of the buildings. A Cubs Hall of Fame in one or two of them? Cubs shops? Cubs bars? There's not a ton of room to work with around Wrigley Field, but the rooftop buildings have always seemed a logical way to expand the Cubs-related area in a non-obtrusive way. I'm all about the character of Wrigleyville, but I also wish there was just a little more Cubs-related stuff in the area. The plaza and hotel planned for the west of the park will certainly go a long way to sating that interest, but the rooftops could be another step.
The rooftops will continue to be operated as rooftops, and, specifically, Wrigley Rooftops – the collective of the 10 rooftops in which the Ricketts have an interest – announced today a centralized site for fans to explore those rooftops and buy tickets.* The Wrigley Rooftops will be operated together by the Loukas Family (who've been involved in the rooftop business game for a long time).
So long as the rooftops continue to look and feel like the rooftops, having them under the broader Cubs umbrella will almost certainly be a good thing.
*(BN get-together next year at one of those rooftops for a game? Who's in?)

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I haven't jumped on a fad or become weirdly obsessed with something. But as much as I try there are just some trendy things I can't make myself love. I'm usually super easy to peer pressure into liking whatever society says is cool, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
Pretty Little Liars - Honestly the whole concept of this one freaks me out. I don't want to watch a show about a girl who may or may not be dead or may or may not being trying to get revenge on you. I think that's what it's about at least. Other popular television shows I could never get into include: The OC, The Office, and Girls
Hello Kitty - I've known girls who were literally obsessed with Hello Kitty and I just never understood. It's not a cartoon, a movie, or a book, so where did it come from? It's just a strange, random white cat and I don't get it.
Carmel Macchiatos - What even is a macchiato? I had a friend who LOVED getting these from the Starbucks in our campus library every time we'd go to study. I'd rather stick to my iced skinny vanilla latte, which yes I realize is a complicated popular drink too. The other Starbucks drink I don't love is the passion fruit teas, but that's because I'm allergic.
David Yurman - I'm probably 1 of maybe 5 girls who doesn't like these bracelets. Honestly I've just never seen the appeal. Yes it's nice to know you have a quality piece of jewelry that won't turn your wrist green when you wear it, but I just don't think these are that pretty.
Vine - From the start I knew this was one form of social media that just didn't have staying power. A whole app just for people to post 6 second videos? No thanks. When Instagram introduced the videos I was so thankful to see this little app start to decline in popularity.
Uggs - I'm slightly embarrassed to say there were about 2 weeks during my freshman year of college when I wanted a pair of these, thankfully I quickly came to my senses. As they say, ugg is short for ugly.
Paleo - In my mind cheese is it's own food group. And as Honest Toddler said, cavemen would have loved cinnamon rolls.
Twilight - Girls spend hundreds of dollars a year to make sure we aren't sickly pale, so why do they think a guy that's so pale he literally glows is hot? Oh you're team Jacob? Glad to know you're super into pedophiles with back hair.
Drunk In Love - I love Queen B, but I don't love this song. At all. I get that people love that it's her and Jay Z together, but I much prefer Crazy in Love
Trendy Things I do love:
Miley Cyrus, Scandal, Michael Kors watches, Mean Girls, top knots, Lilly Pulitzer, wearing leggings as pants, and The Great Gatsby.

OMG We are exactly the same!!! I don't love any of those--especially Drunk in Love--that song makes me feel all uncomfortable--love B & JZ, but that one could have been kept in their bedroom:)ReplyDelete
I'm a sucker for Miley and Scandal though!!!
Agree 100% with your list! Drunk in love....ehhh. Overrated in my opinion!ReplyDelete
I think of every blog post as a conversation. I hope you'll join in and leave a comment so I'm not just talking to myself.

I like #1 as is.
On #2 I think we could even out the 'goodness' of older versus newer nodes by making a weighted 'goodness' index. Ideally we would want this index to be the number of votes the post has received versus the number of people (of qualified voters) who have seen it. Since we probably don't have a record of the latter then we could divide by some other number akin to it. Example:
It would be good to know what other statistics are kept of our use of the site in order to craft the best possible index.
I also think that it is a good thing to not disclose the votes a given post has. We could make this or the proposed goodness index remain hidden and be used only as a sorting key for search results.
