Hollow Places And Gushing Rivers
Contributed by Richard Laraviere on Sep 5, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: The passion behind the cry of Jesus that if any thirst, let them come unto him and drink.
Hollow places and Gushing Rivers
Text: John 7:37-39 / John 17:3-that you might know me
A. Background of this setting:
1. The feast of Tabernacles- was a solemn, yet joyful procession each day from the temple to the Gihon Spring- the spring which fed the reservoir we know as the pool of Siloam.
a. A priest filled a gold pitcher with water while the choir sang Isaiah 12:3.- Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Then they returned to the altar and poured out the water.
2. This ritual reminded them of the water from the rock during the wilderness wanderings (Num. 20:8-11).
a. It also spoke prophetically of the coming days of Messiah (cf. Zech. 14:8,). "And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem…. Zech. 14:8"
3. The last day was the greatest day and Jesus could contain himself no more.
a. Rabbis sat to teach and Jesus roared to his feet. They spoke quietly and eloquently and Jesus screamed as a raven fighting over food.
Mark 5:5- And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Same word as devils and the sick and blind calling for him
b. Men doing rituals while the very spirit and living fulfillment of that ritual sat before them
B. Jesus knew that ritual and law could only take one so far.
1. Is anyone thirsty- are you spiritually parched,
Come and drink- literally soak up the life of the father
a. Jesus knew that man was created to dwell in the presence of his father.
C. The reason behind the passion
1. Belly- 2836 κοιλία [koilia /koy•lee•ah/] n f. AV translates as "womb" 12 times, and "belly" 11 times. 1 the whole belly, the entire cavity.
a. Also referred to as the innermost part of a man, the soul, heart as the seat of thought, feeling, choice.
But more than just the innermost part of a man, Comes from another word in the Greek which means hollow
Literal- the hollow place inside a man- from koilos- koy-los
b. Why would this place be known as the place of hollowness-or emptiness? God had left in the garden of Eden Gen. 3:8-11
The place where God used to dwell was now empty.
2. Rivers- 4215 ποταμός [potamos /pot•am•os/] n m. translates as "river" nine times, "flood" four times, "stream" twice, and "water" once. stream, a river. 2 a torrent. 3 floods.
a. This is not just any old river. This word picture is a dry river bed. Dry. Dead. No-life giving waters.
All of a sudden from the rains on the mountains and valleys, this torrent of water pours into this dry river bed and it roars to life. As it swiftly flows south, many finger streams are coming off of it.
D. Truth challenge for the week
1. Come out of the desert and enter the river
"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb." (Revelation 22:1, KJV)

Spring 2010
GMRI researchers are part of a consortium of scientists collaborating on an environmental study of the University of Maine's deepwater offshore wind power test site off of Monhegan Island. Funded by the Department of Energy, the DeepCwind Consortium will design, build, and deploy a floating turbine platform to gather data on how it performs in an ocean environment. The work by GMRI researchers will provide valuable information about the potential impact of floating turbines on the ocean ecosystem. Jason Stockwell, our Pelagic Ecologist, and his team will conduct acoustic surveys of fish and visual surveys of mammals before and after the installation. Andy Pershing, GMRI Research Scientist and Assistant Professor at UMaine's School of Marine Sciences, will collect data on sound, both from animals such as whales and from the turbine, to better understand how the turbine may impact animal behavior and communication

So the rest of our time in Texas came and went in a flash. As you may have noticed, I hardly blogged at all, partially for lack of a good computer. Which, in a way, is kind of a laughable excuse since Mom & Philip's house probably holds at least 5 working computers and who knows how many other computer components... but most of those are personal laptops, and the communal computer I did use had a wonky mouse and a keyboard that caused me to type the wrong letter every other word.
Or maybe those are just excuses so I don't have to admit that I was just too busy taking naps and eating ice-cream to blog... ; )
Either way, the week was pretty great, as usual. Mom took most of it off from work so she was around most of the time. With the plethora of grandparents around at all times, I think I maybe helped put D to bed once or twice, as everyone else was itching to help out-- even his 7 year old cousin, Ryan, who read him his bedtime stories a few times! There were many trips to the neighborhood pool, lots of driving in the battery-powered Barbie jeep in the backyard (he figured out how to power the pedal and the gears this time, was a total pro after, like, a day), and we even went to a mom-and-me yoga class where I spent most of the time stifling giggles at how adorable D looked trying to do the various poses. My dad continued spoiling D with gifts of toys with wheels on them. D also got to help my step-dad fix a part on a car, run around on a slip-and-slide, and play piano, drums, and even an old trumpet. Why yes, my son did pretty much have the time of his life. (click here for pictures)
Before we knew it Sunday night was upon us, and then we flew out Monday morning. The flight back went ok, all things considered. D really is a great traveller-- he doesn't throw tantrums on-flight, and for the most part follows my directions and entertains himself happily with a few toys. But it was still a rough slog, partially thanks to no longer having the option of a direct flight so had to deal with a lay-over, and also this whole pregnancy thing that leaves me tired and makes it more difficult to do things like trying to lug 2 carry-on bags and a toddler at the same time. And then there was the massive, messy poop he decided to take in the middle of the 3hr flight... But we got home, safe and sound, and with only a few frazzled nerves.
It's nice to be back home. D is always super cute upon returning to our house, to his room, to his toys and books, almost as if he's being reunited with an old friend. It's nice to be back someplace with cooler temperatures, almost no humidity, and oh yeah NO MOSQUITOES.
But I am also acutely aware of how great it was to have family around, especially family that's as loving, supportive, and helpful as ours, and how much we're missing out on by not being able to live closer to them. This feeling is made worse by knowing that it might well be a long time before our next family trip to Texas-- we won't be going again during the next few months of my pregnancy, and after that I'll have two kids to deal with and I don't know when I'll be prepared to handle that load by myself. So there's a very realistic possibility that our next trip to Texas might not be till next summer, if not Christmas 2011 (I'm thinking those might be the times when Zach can take off enough vacation to go with me and stay for a week or so, to make the cost/pain of travel worth it). This kind of makes me want to cry.
Zach's working on a plan to just get everyone to move to California instead. Jenny and Andrew are already in San Francisco, now he's working on trying to get his parents to move out here. And, thankfully, we're also building up a local support network-- baby-sitters, a drop-in daycare center I've found that D loves, a mom group that meets often and has so far been incredibly nice and welcoming. I'm hoping all these things will help make the transition from a family of three to a family of four a bit easier.

Trip recap, and trying to build a village
Labels: Donovan, Family, Parenting, Travel: Texas, Weblink
1 comment:
Your trip does sound so much fun. You guys do get to travel a lot and see each other. I only get to see my parents roughly 1 time a year, and only 1000 miles away. We normally can only go on one trip a year to see them due to lack of vacation.ReplyDelete
The support and a great home is definitely what can make things easier...

Trust and the Need to be Perfect
While writing my third book, I studied the personalities of numerous CEOs to determine their characteristics. I found an interesting trend that has an important lesson about trust. The most highly successful leaders seemed to be having more fun while the leaders who were not doing well were really miserable.
I noticed that the top CEOs had created high trust organizations, and they were allowed to be human beings. They could make occasional mistakes and the people would still respect them.
The CEOs who were doing poorly were bundles of nerves trying to figure out how to be perfect, because there was low trust in their organizations. If they did not spin every statement the right way, people would jump all over them. These CEOs of low trust groups were staying up all night trying to outsmart the workers, while their effective counterparts were sleeping soundly knowing the employees were truly on their side.
Leaders who know how to build high trust consistently enjoy a better life for themselves. That also translates into a more relaxed work environment for everyone, which further enhances the level of trust, and the cycle continues.
These leaders are allowed the luxury of being fallible human beings because their employees know they are sincere. Even if something occasionally comes out with the wrong slant, the employees will cut these leaders some slack. In environments of low trust, employees are poised and waiting to pounce on any misstep or misstatement the leader might make.
Exercise for you: If you operate in an environment of low trust, observe today how stressed the leaders are. Notice the amount of energy they have to put into every communication simply because employees are skeptical to begin with. Think about what it would look and feel like if the environment could be transformed into one of higher trust.
When a work environment has high trust, it is a better life for everyone. In that culture, the organization will thrive, even if there are some tough challenges.

Not many people would disagree that the internet has changed the world we live in. It's had a particularly profound effect on the world of advertising. Thanks to internet advertising, there's an entire world of potential customers at your fingertips every time you or they hop online. One of the most popular ways to advertise online these days is search engine marketing, or SEM. This marketing strategy focuses on search engines as a means to get the word out about your company, which is particularly effective because so many people depend on search engines to help them find what they're looking for on the internet.
Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is an integral part of SEM. SEO is the practice of optimising one's website for searches on the internet. The better your SEO is, the higher you'll be in a search engine's ranking of results for a specific search. When employing SEO, it's important to pick the right keyword. You want to choose a keyword that people will actually use when searching for a site like yours. You want to make sure that your site is seen, and it won't be if you choose a search term that nobody uses. A professional SEO Consulting Company optimise your website and make it more search engine friendly and better online visibility in online market.
Another way to get the most out of SEM is to pay a search engine, either for pay per click (PPC) advertisement or for paid inclusion in search results for a specific keyword. You can pay to be included in sponsored links in a web search, guaranteeing that your website will be seen when a specific search is done. You can also pay to make sure that your company's website comes up near the top of a web search for that same keyword. Just be aware that not every search engine offers paid inclusion, whereas most search engines do practice paid placement, or PPC ads.
Finally, you can also pay for targeted advertising. You provide a list of keywords, domain names, topics, and a target demographic and the search engine will put your advertisement on pages that agree to participate in targeted advertising programs. You will get exposure to a targeted market and you even have the option of buying out the whole block of ad space so that you don't have to share those potential customers with anybody else. While SEM does require some capital, it's an investment that is sure to pay off. Otherwise, it wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is.

Why is product packaging important for business
You must be wondering, why so much pressure is put on choosing the best packing nowadays? The reason is that your packaging is the first thing that comes in contact with the customer and your first shot at creating an everlasting impression as well. Use it well. Business and brands have actually started to take it so seriously, that they have been investing their money and time and making special creative teams for the designing of the packing only!
Whether you are making a pizza box or a simple carton, your product packaging is extremely important. Here are a few reasons why:
- Your packing will speak to the customer way before the product. It is the outermost layer of your brand. When a parcel arrives at the customer's house, they will open it up and see the product first. How it is packaged and represented matters a lot. For example, your fruit packaging is done by using extremely low-quality carton, then not only will the fruit be rotten, but the customer will also feel upset and might never trust your business again.
- Good packaging is like your brand's voice. Its themes, ideas, colours, and texts say a lot about your brand. It guides on things like your brand's target audience, its goal, its vision and philosophy and even future prospects. If your brand uses sustainable packing then it will be labelled as an aware and earth-friendly brand. Not only will that gain you respect amongst the masses, but everybody will also appreciate how much you think about the environment too.
- It is a cheap and effective way to market your product and boost your sales. For example, many popular makeup companies often launch collections with a specific theme and packaging idea. This helps them to market their product better by promoting their brand's idea and name. When they go to buy your product, they might not remember your company's name, but they will always remember the tube design, the way the bottle was represented or the colour scheme of that collection. It helps to increase your sales and market your product to the audience.
- Your packaging is also the thing which sets you apart from other competitors and brands with the same niche. Again, what difference does your mascara and XYZ brand's mascara may have? The packaging of the tube. Yours might be more effective to use, or even by funkier and looks better. While the other brand may not have worked hard at it and not gathered that much attention for their product.
- Your packaging will always be a symbolic representation of your business and consumers will remember it. For example, we always remember the classic colour scheme of beverage companies like Pepsi or Coca Cola. Even through the years they have changed and upgraded their packing but stayed the same with their colour scheme. With just their colours we can recognize from far away that it is the same brand! That is the power of packaging.

Houston Woman That Struck and Killed Bicyclist Rearrested in Austin
A woman that allegedly injured and killed a Houston bicyclist was rearrested at her twin sister's house in Austin on April 30, according to The Houston Chronicle. Margaret R. Mayer, who was initially arrested on February 5 and freed on a $30,000 bond, was taken into custody again for allegedly violating her bail conditions. According to court records, she violated the conditions of bail by failing to pay $50 in fees for drug and alcohol testing and supervision.
Mayer allegedly struck bicyclist Chelsea Norman around 10:20 p.m. on December 1 as she pedaled her bicycle home from work in Houston. The 24-year-old bicyclist died from her injuries on December 4. Mayer was charged with failure to stop and render aid in an accident causing death.
Mayer's next court appearance is scheduled for May 9 in the 230th State District Court.

First, we plug the value of 2 for x.
This leads to 3(2)+y=a and 2(2)+5y=2a
or 6+y=a and 4+5y=2a
Rearranging, we have a-y=6 and 2a-5y=4
Multiplying the first expression by 5, we get 5a-5y=30 and 2a-5y=4.
3a=26 and a=26/3.
We can immediately multiply the first equation by 5, so we have the two equations:
15x + 5y = 5a
2x + 5y = 2a
Subtract the second from the first:
13x = 3a
Rearrange and divide by 3:
a = (13/3)*x
Substiute 2 for x:
a = (13/3)*2 or a = 26/3
(tertre added when he/she should have subtracted).

It has been a creative whirlwind as I pushed the envelope in my cultural activism by acting in as well as directing and producing my historical Creole drama "Blood Makes The Red River Flow" and as I prepared to re-mount and film my Santeria mystery/thriller "A Wound In Time". It was so crazy that I scheduled a show and forgot to cancel it during rehearsals for "Red River"... I do apologize but it can get wonderfully chaotic! It was an amazing feat to put on such a quality production without the much needed finanacial support of the community. But I was determined to share a special gift for Black History Month and could not have done it without a supportive cast and crew working as a team as well as some few special folks whose contributions helped pull us through. The audiences were amazing and amazed at the information they received and wonderful performances. We want to take it on the road to share this amazing informative story with all!
Enjoy this wonderful slide show with scenes from the show!

Soft, light and buttery Pistachio Bundt Cake flavored with real pistachios and almond extract. Finished off with fun and festive green candy melts topping!
You need to try my easy pistachio cupcake recipe next.
Pistachio is such an underrated dessert flavor! Pistachio pairs wonderfully with so many other flavors. Vanilla, Almonds, Strawberries, Coconut and Omg Orange!
Desserts taste THE BEST when Pistachio is the flavor in focus. Seriously, don't you love pistachio flavored ice-cream? Or pistachio and vanilla flavored cookies? Coconut-Pistachio layer cake?? Anyone???
I am getting super hungry, need to crack some pistachios open!!! And already getting dynamite ideas for my next post. ;D
What hides in this Pistachio bundt cake
Real pistachios. We aren't using any artificial pistachio pudding in today's recipe. We will ground our beautiful green shelled pistachios and add them in the cake batter. ⇓
A combination of oil and butter to make the pistachio bundt cake taste buttery and stay ultra-moist and tender for days!
An egg for binding and some greek yogurt for the added moisture and richness.
Almond and vanilla extracts. Because we aren't using any fake pistachio flavors in our cake, we certainly need to amp up the flavor of pistachio with almond extract. And pistachios pair supremely well with almond.
You will taste buttery and sweet pistachio flavor combined with vanilla and a hint of almond in every bite!
Such a lovely Easter tide bake! Or a perfect St Patrick's Day cake if you will. Oh come on do you even need a reason! 😀 😀 😀
A few drops of Green food coloring to reach that light green pistachio color. You see, pistachios add a hint of green to the cake batter. But if you don't mind food-colorings, I recommend adding some drops for that prettiest pistachio green.
Cake flour as opposed to all purpose flour. Cornstarch present in cake flours produces very light textured cakes. If you want your cake to taste light, use cake flour. You can even make a DIY at home. Just measure a cup of APF, remove 2 Table spoons out and replace with 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Sift 3-4 times. And there you have it!
Rest is the usual gang of leaveners, some salt, sugar and milk. No brainer there!
Pistachio Bundt Cake: Taste Test
- Buttery and supremely moist
- Light and fluffy with a tight crumb
- Flavored with pistachios, vanilla and almond flavors
- No ARTIFICIAL pistachio pudding!
- Topped with a green, vanilla and white chocolate flavored candy melts topping
That topping is so easy to do, pretty to look at and your cake tastes like pistachios and white chocolate cake! Win-Win-Win!!
Chocolate pistachio bundt cake
- 1 Cup + 2.5 Tbsps (125 Gms) Cake flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp (43 gms) Butter (unsalted, room temperature)
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) Oil (I use avocado)
- 3/4 Cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1/4 Cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 Cup (98 gms) Shelled and ground Pistachios (unsalted)
- 1 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Almond extract
- 1/3 Cup Milk (Room temperature)
- Few drops of green food coloring (optional)
For the topping:
- 1/2 Cup Green Candy Melts
- Handful of Shelled pistachios
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease/spray a 6 inches bundt pan.2. Ground the Pistachios: Ground your shelled pistachios in a food processor or a hand blender into fine crumbs. Look at the picture above in this post for reference.3. Sift cake flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.4. Using a hand held mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes. Add in oil and beat well. Now add egg and beat again to combine.5. Now beat in yogurt, almond and vanilla extracts. Add the grounded pistachios in. Add half of the dry ingredients into wet and fold in. Add your milk, green food coloring (if adding) and the rest of dry ingredients, fold just until combined.
6. Pour cake batter in the prepared tin. Bake for 24-27 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of cake comes out clean.7. Allow to cool down before unmolding.8. Make the topping: Melt 1/2 cup of green candy melts in microwave (30 seconds at a time) and stir in between. Allow to cool slightly and drizzle on room temperature cake. Top with more pistachios to serve.
- If you don't like candy melts you may use melted white chocolate for topping.
- Or you can make ganache using white chocolate/white chocolate chips and heavy cream in 1:1 (1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup white chocolate) ratio. Simply melt the chocolate with cream in 30 sec increments in your microwave (stir in between). Cool slightly and drizzle on room temperature cake.

Written by Jeff Nielson
Thursday, 03 April 2014 14:35
Roughly 2 ¼ centuries ago, a member of the French aristocracy (Marie Antoinette) was reputedly quoted as saying "let them eat cake", as her naïve response to the plight of starving, French peasants (shortly before the French Revolution).
Historians now cast doubt as to whether this line was ever uttered by her, and it's quite possible it was merely attributed to her as a means of attacking her reputation. However, the allegory itself has survived. Why? Because whether or not this anecdote is authentic; the symbol is an eternal one: elitist Oligarchs dwelling in their ivory towers, so totally out of touch with ordinary people (and reality) that their perspective on the real world is naïve and/or absurd.
In the 21st century, we see that this same Ivory Tower remains intact, and is currently situated at the headquarters of Bloomberg News. Do the drones who work for this den of elitism prescribe "eating cake" to feed the 100+ million unemployed across the Western world, or to mitigate the 50+% collapse in the standard of living of ordinary people in the West?
No. Bloomberg's callous elitism is much more corporate in nature, and demonstrated in stark/absurd terms, in its piece of Marie Antoinette "journalism" from March 27th:
Greece Is Pulling Off an Amazing Recovery
Of what "recovery" does Bloomberg speak? Did Greece's corrupt coalition government find any jobs for the 27% of the Greek population "officially" unemployed (real unemployment is closer to 50%)? Of course not. The Traitor Governments of the West don't "create jobs" – they only destroy them.
So what is this "amazing recovery"? Bloomberg is so overjoyed it doesn't keep readers in suspense for long. It reveals this "remarkable story" in its sub-title:
Greece Can Afford To Borrow Again
Anyone who hasn't spent the past five years journeying on distant planets understands that Greece's economy was just destroyed – utterly – as it went through a messy (and deliberately induced) debt-default. Now with Greece's economy still in a state of utter ruin, the bankers want us to applaud the fact that they (and Greece's Traitor Government) are about to start piling new debts on a population which cannot even currently feed itself.
This is not like Marie Antoinette saying to the people of France "let them eat cake." Its bankers and politicians saying to the people of Greece "let them eat poison" (just as they are now doing with their new victims in Ukraine). But beyond the absurd/outrageous theme of this piece of elitist nonsense; in trying to create the myth of an "amazing recovery", Bloomberg and the bankers have done nothing but inadvertently reveal their own culpability (and fraud) in the original destruction of Greece's economy.
It's all in the numbers:
Only one thing has changed between the time that Greece was driven into debt-default versus the (supposed) "recovery" of 2014: interest rates on Greece's debt. Nothing else has changed. So why was the interest rate on Greek 10-year bonds at 5% at the beginning of 2010, at 30% (at its peak) during the summer of 2012, and now, a few, short months later back down to roughly 7.5%?
There is only one answer: manipulation. Some degree of fluctuation would be normal in this (or any) market. But not the 500% increase in Greece's interest rates over a two-year period, immediately followed by a "remarkable" 75% decline, not when there have been no significant, fundamental changes within the (real) economy. There is no rational/legitimate explanation of any kind which could explain such a criminal degree of fluctuation.
Understand that even after Greece's economy has been totally destroyed that the bankers and politicians themselves are estimating "economic growth" of less than 1% in Greece this year. After seeing the entire economy shrink by roughly 1/3rd, a less-than-1% rate of growth doesn't even qualify as "a dead-cat bounce" for this economy – just a dead cat.
But one would never know this from listening to the liars at Bloomberg, the criminals working for the One Bank, or the traitors in Greece's government. They can begin to (sadistically) pile new debt on these innocent victims (as the One Bank seeks to cement its Debt Slavery for future generations), and that's all that they care about.
How have Greece's interest rates been manipulated up and down like a yo-yo? Regular readers are familiar with the modus operandi here: credit-default swaps, and (to a lesser-extent) interest-rate swaps. These "economic WMD's" as Warren Buffet described them before embracing them (in his own corruption) are literally nothing but mountains of bets.
However, when piled atop each other (in the $10's of trillions) they become an economic doomsday weapon, capable of destroying any economy at which they are (maliciously) directed. The flip-side of this fraud is that these weapons can be used in reverse – to pump-up debt markets rather than destroy them. Thus we see the other "miracle" on display: the hopelessly bankrupt U.S. economy paying the lowest rates of interest in history on its own mega-debts.
As was pointed out in a previous commentary (written four years earlier); the only significant difference (in structural terms) between the economy of Greece and the economy of the United States was/is interest rate fraud – the same fraud – simply used in a precisely opposite manner. Now we have Bloomberg effectively confessing the fraud of the One Bank in Greece's debt market, by highlighting this absurd (and totally inexplicable) roller-coaster ride with its interest rates.
Why has the One Bank now reduced Greece's interest rates, after driving them high enough to first bankrupt the nation? Two reasons. As already mentioned; one reason why Greece's government is now getting the "carrot" rather than the "stick" is because the current government now serves the bankers. The second reason is, again, simple numbers.
If the One Bank did not manipulate Greece's interest rate down to a more rational/realistic level (somewhat relative to the West's other Deadbeat Debtors), then the moment it piled more debt on this severely crippled economy it would immediately default on that debt again. That would negate the (new) yoke of debt around the throats of Greece's population – and force the One Bank (and Greece's corrupt government) to conduct yet another reset, before Debt Slavery could once again be imposed (as a long-term strategy).
It is yet another indication of how radically the fiction of the Corporate media deviates from the real world that what Bloomberg is calling "an amazing recovery" is very obviously simply another crime-against-humanity being perpetrated by the One Bank against the people of Greece. In our Wonderland Matrix, such perversity is now the norm, rather than the exception.

Norfolk, VA – Since the turn of the calendar year, the Norfolk Admirals have sprinted to a 9-2-0 record including a three-game sweep at home against the second-seed in the Eastern Conference, the Manchester Monarchs.
The Admirals have been a resilient bunch as captain Brodie Dupont put it, "Through the diversity of the beginning of the year to how far we've come now, in terms of playing as a team, sticking through the 60 minutes, 65 when we have to and the shootout when we have to and trusting each other, we've come a long way. There is a lot of character and a lot of the resilience. That's where it's coming from and we're building it. It's still a work in progress, but we're getting much better at it."
Defenseman Aaron Harstad is one of the few players that has remained on Norfolk's roster since October and has successfully transitioned through an early season coaching change. The third-year pro also touched on the team's resiliency saying, "I think we haven't got down. We've had a lot of new players since the beginning of the year. So, it's kind of different that way, but since the new coach came (Robbie Ftorek), he really emphasized a full 60 minutes and I think we all have bought into that and it's been shown the last ten or so games."
What changed the team for the better? Dupont answered, "Personnel, coaches and guys buying in. So, it's a work in progress. Basically, structure came in and we all bought into Robbie's system. He's obviously a really detailed and good coach. We've got some guys coming back from injury and we brought in some new personnel to help with our back end. We've been getting some great goaltending."
Through the coaching transition and the turnstile player turnover a team can get down, however, they remained upbeat, positive and it helped them for the better. As Dupont noted, "That's one thing that almost helped us when you go through losing parts of the season. It seems the guys that weren't a part of the losses didn't really feel it so they are able to bring the morale up every time you get into a little bit of a slump. For instance when I came in November, I wasn't part of the beginning of the season. I didn't feel that negativity. We lost a few when I got here off the bat and then we brought new guys in and it lifted the morale again. That plays a part in it. Next, we brought in a new coach. There are all these changes that always keep you up and aware. It doesn't let that negativity creep in. We've got some great guys in the room."
In December, Coach Ftorek dismissed former captain Josh Brittain and appointed Brodie Dupont the team's captain a few weeks later. Harstad chirped about Dupont's message to the team since becoming captain, "I think he's a personable, well-liked guy. He brings it day in and day out. His hard work shows on the ice and everyone hops on his back and follows him that way."
One thing that is noticeable with Ftorek's coaching style is his ability to have a calming effect on his players, not letting them sink when they're trailing late in a game. His ability to calm his bench speaks volumes as Dupont said, "That would be my way to describe him: calm, subtle and a detailed coach. Details, calmness and all the leadership he brings, his experience, it all trickles down to our bench."
Norfolk has a long fight ahead of them to make the playoffs, but 2017 ECHL All-Star, Harstad notes that the team is up for the challenge and the fight out of the Eastern Conference's cellar starts now. "It's our goal to make the playoffs. We're not playing not to make the playoffs. We're getting on a run here and hopefully we'll keep it going."
With Norfolk continuing to rack up points and sweeping top seeded teams, hopefully the Admirals resiliency will propel them to make a post-season push.

Read our important medical disclaimer.
I have had a puckered retina for the last 10 years. I need cataract surgery and I'm afraid my retina will detach because of it. What are the chances of this happening?
There is really no relation between macular pucker—or what is also called pre-retinal fibrosis—and retinal detachment. However, since it occurs in the macula or central vision area, you may have limitations on your vision even after cataract surgery. A retina specialist will sometimes do surgery on this area to improve the vision.

Confidence continues to increase for accumulating snow for this weekend.
Mild temperatures will continue for Thursday and Friday with highs in the 40s and 50s.
Our computer models are trending towards a colder and snowier weather solution for the weekend.
We expect this to be a quick hitting system that will move into the state late Saturday night and move out by early Sunday morning.
While it's too early to talk about snowfall accumulations we can say that there is greater than 50 percent odds of receiving at least 3 inches of snow.
There is some good news if you're not a snow lover. The snow won't stick around for long as temperatures surge into the 50s and even 60s by the middle of next week.
Stay with the NBC Connecticut First Alert Weather Team for the latest on this weekend snow threat.

The director of Game of Thrones's latest episode fuelled speculations Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) will become the Mad Queen by the final episode.
David Nutter, who directed "The Last of the Starks" and is also known for overseeing season three's infamous Red Wedding, shared a few tantalising details of Daenerys's character development to The New York Times.
"There's really the sense that her character is getting a sense of isolation. Realizing that Jorah Mormont is no longer there," he said." That moment of overhearing Tormund talking about how Jon is a king because he jumped on a dragon and fought with a dragon, when she's done that multiple times and she's not being recognised for it. I think it's an interesting reference point for her character to deal with."
He said that, by the end of the sequence, Daenerys has "a real sense of determination" about what to do and an "almost calm, cool, collected quality about her". Praising Clarke's performance, he added: "There is an anger that comes out of Emilia, out of Dany's character, at the end of this episode that I've never seen out of Dany before. I'm actually quite scared about what she's going to do next!"
Ever since fans learned that Daenerys was the daughter of Aerys Targaryen, the Mad King, they have speculated that she may one day follow in his footsteps. The showrunners have teased this outcome since season six, when Daenerys gradually stopped talking about freeing slaves and instead decided to focus on taking the Iron Throne.
Missandei's last word – "Dracarys" – teases Daenerys becoming the Mad Queen. Her father, Aerys, attempted to burn down King's Landing after being driven mad. "Dracarys" is the high Valyrian word for Dragonfire, and is used by Daenerys as an instruction for Drogon to wreak havoc on their enemies. Could Daenerys be about to turn King's Landing to ash?

"The Last of the Starks" was described as "an oddly structured and not hugely satisfying episode" by The Independent's critic. The fourth episode of the show's final season also saw Daenerys (Clarke) suffer some devastating losses after arriving in King's Landing to face Cersei Lannister (Headey).
You can watch the intense new trailer for the penultimate episode of the show here.
The final season of Game of Thrones continues every Sunday.

No worries But i thought i should add, that ive heard it often said, that one of the main functions of the synovial fluid is that it acts as a lubricant in the joint,and when you have been inactive for a while due to an injurey, it thickens up making joint movement seem more stiff, or so i heard. The idea that it's encapsulation in the synoviam has a function of providing the joint line with a kind of dynamic suspension, is somthing of a creative leap on my part. But in my case it would explain alot about why my knee feels like there is no 'give' in the sense that when i walk it feels like my good leg is walking on grass while the bad leg is walking on concreat, if that makes any sense. So questions to ask are like, is it possible for the synovium to bleed synovial fluid, and is this herniation into the hoffas an example of synovial bleeding. Can the synovium heal itself, and what are the degenerative consequences of not having a properly functioning synovium< or indeed synovectomy >.... again just some ideas, but ive found that asking questions has to be positive and really the best way to learn about ones problem and i hope that would be welcomed by members of the proffession... very sadly thats not always the case.. Personally im just fascinated by it all
Clarkey how r u recovering from your latest ok?

|Is this Colombian animals' biggest problem? A Colombian bullfighter at work
this February in Bogotá's Santamaria Plaza.
And bullfighting seems like a holdover from the Dark Ages, which should have died out along with
witch burning and gladiator battles. Bullfighting is also cruel. And, making entertainmet out of killing an animal can only bring out the worst in spectators.
|Nothing else to protest? Marching against
bullfighting in downtown Bogotá.
And bullfighting's opponents have for years battled - futilely - in the streets, courtrooms and Congress to have the practice prohibited.
But fracking and bullfighting are only tips of the iceberg of the larger phenomena of the fossil fuel industry and animal mistreatment. Yes, fracking causes environmental damage, but so do the conventional oil and coal industries: they trigger deforestation, drive climate change, pollute the seas and poison the air when burnt. The oil shipping industry, like all shipping, damages marine life with noise, by transporting exotic animals and by collisions with marine mammals. In short, the fossil fuel industry's impacts are innumerable, and fracking is just a tiny part of that.
|Is it fracking, or just oil? A seabird dirtied by
spilled oil doesn't care where that oil came from.
But fracking, like GMOs, gets attacked because it seems new, strange and sinister.
And bullfighting represents many things despised by its leftist opponents: the wealthy, Mayor Peñalosa and the traditional landowning class.
And while both fracking and bullfighting are very questionable activities, the danger is that by obsessing with these two narrow issues, activists ignore the wider problems. And, if they actually win these two battles, they may feel that the larger battle is won and they can cease fighting.

This is a survival kit that I have taken out and actually used. Very impressive design and it is very compact. I have friends in the aviation industry that are astonished by the amount of components that are in this kit. It can be stowed in a vehicle or aircraft and you will never know it is there till you need it.
As far as design and functionality goes James Davies the President and CEO of Gear Pods did an amazing job. The kit fits into a ballistic nylon sleeve with an outer pouch that will hold a number of items. There are also MOLLE attachment points on one side of the sleeve. The kit comes in sections called pods that hold a variety items. They are held together by large connectors with terminators at each end to keep the components inside and make the kit waterproof.
Each section contains a specific kit. Kits in this particular Gear Pods are first aid, shelter, survival, and a cooking kit. Each come in a nylon bag with draw cord closures. This keeps each individual kit itemized and organized so you know exactly what kit you are grabbing. Each pod is marked with the specific kit that goes inside. When I took this kit and used it on a 24 hour test I found it to have all the necessities available. The first aid kit is fully stalked with ointments, band aids, insect repellant, poison oak and ivy relief and cleansing wipes, blister care, sunscreen, and a host of other items. The shelter kit was complete with a silicone impregnated tarp, plenty of cord, and a space blanket.
The next morning when I got up it was below 30 degrees. I got my fire going again and decided to try out the cooking kit. I brought along some spiced apple cider and fired up the stove with one of the two supplied Esbit fuel tablets. The cider came to a boil long before the fuel had burned out. The cup has a fiberglass band around the top for safe and easy removal from the stove. I sat and warmed up with the spiced cider reflecting on the experience with this kit. I was very happy with how it preformed and everything was set up. There was a real ease of use with this particular kit.
Next I will go over the actual survival kit that comes with the Gear Pods. Every thing in it is well though out. As mentioned earlier it has a shelter kit which is a necessary component to a survival kit. In side the kit its self it covers fire, water and water disinfection, trapping and fishing, and signaling for rescue and equipment and clothing repair. So far this is one of the most comprehensive survival kits I have tried out.
1. 2"x3" Rescue Flash signal mirror with plastic sleeve to protect the reflective surface.
2. Fox 40 micro safety whistle.
3. Spark Light one hand operated fire starter.
4. Tinder-quick waterproof and weatherproof tinder.
5. NATO storm matches with striker. These are wind and waterproof.
6. 20mm Liquid filled button compass.
7. Mini keychain LED flashlight. Battery life is 24 hours of continuous use.
8. Light to medium use lightweight folding saw. This makes a great ferro rod striker.
9. Light to medium use folding razor blade.
10. 6 Katadyn Micropure-1 water disinfection tablets.
11. 36 oz self standing water bag.
12. Heavy duty needle for clothing and equipment repair in the field.
13. 50 ft reel of 10lb bs thread for sewing or fishing.
14. 2 safety pins for repairs, first aid, or for improvised hooks for fishing.
15. 8 ft of 0.02" stainless steel non magnetic wire for snares.
16. 25 ft 70lb bs braided nylon cord for shelter construction, securing equipment, snaring small game, bank line for fishing. This stuff has endless uses.
17. Small fishing kit with 4 hooks, 2 split shots, and 1 snap swivel.
18. 2"x30" 9mm duct tape. This stuff has millions of uses.
19. 4 2"x3" weatherproof sheets of paper for notes, logs, and patrol maps
20. Pencil with protective cap.
21. 2"x3" Fresnel lens for fire starting.
22. Waterproof tear proof instructions.
23. Stuff sack made of nylon.
Next is the cooking kit. I got a couple of options with this. The first was the stove with the Esbit fuel tablets. The second is the Gear Pods alcohol stove with fuel bottle. The Esbit fuel tablets burn hot and last a long time. They will burn long enough and hot enough to cook a meal. The alcohol stove lasted around 7 minutes. That is long enough to boil 8 oz of water. In the event that there was no fuel left for the stove you can build a small fire under it and cook and heat water that way.
The cooking kit comes with the cup, fuel, aluminum wind guard, stove (inside the wind screen), and lid. The cup allows you to hold it while it is hot and with the lid you can safely drink hot liquids with out worry of spilling. It has a straw hole in the top that will aid with those that have injuries that can not otherwise drink.
The Gear Pods alcohol stove is made of anodized aluminum and fits neatly inside the stove making it a dual fuel stove. This will hold .8 oz of denatured alcohol. That will bring 8 oz of water to a boil under normal conditions. It is filled with a 4 oz plastic fuel bottle. I chose both options for my cooking kit so I would more options when it came to fuel. I use alcohol stove in the desert anyway during fire bans.
Gear Pods First Aid Kit:
This kit can be purchased separately or together with the gear pods survival kit. This kit covers some of the needed items to take care of the small wounds and minor discomforts one may encounter in the wilderness. This kit will cover everything from burns, minor cuts and abrasions, Stings, contact dermatitis, headaches, fevers, diarrhea, splinters, thorns, and even blisters. This is one of the best basic first aid kits I have seen that can easily be added to or used on its own. Anyone with basic knowledge of first aid can successfully use this kit. I personally have used a lot of the items in this kit to take care of minor issues in the field. While I was filming the review and test of the original gear pods I had cut my thumb on the folding razor that comes in the survival kit. I was able to very quickly clean and dress the wound with the supplied items.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday and signaled that two additional increases were on the way this year, as officials expressed confidence that the United States economy was strong enough for borrowing costs to rise without choking off economic growth.
Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chairman, speaking in unusually blunt terms at a news conference on Wednesday, said the economy had strengthened significantly since the 2008 financial crisis and was approaching a "normal" level that could allow the Fed to soon step back and play less of a hands-on role in encouraging economic activity.
The Fed's optimism about the state of the economy is likely to translate into higher borrowing costs for cars, home mortgages and credit cards over the next year as the central bank raises interest rates more quickly than was anticipated.
Wednesday's rate increase was the second this year and the seventh since the end of the Great Recession and brings the Fed's benchmark rate to a range of 1.75 to 2 percent. The last time the rate topped 2 percent was in late summer 2008, when the economy was contracting and the Fed was cutting rates toward zero, where they would remain for years after the financial crisis
"The decision you see today is another sign that the U.S. economy is in great shape," Mr. Powell said after the Fed's two-day policy meeting. "Most people who want to find jobs are finding them."
The increases this year are part of a gradual series of steps to return rates to historically normal levels, and they reflect both the Fed's confidence in America's economic strength and its commitment to bring the inflation rate to its target of 2 percent.
But the march toward higher interest rates comes as much of America's work force continues to experience slow wage growth, despite a tight labor market that should, in theory, translate into higher wages as businesses compete for workers.
The rise in consumer prices over the last year has effectively wiped out any wage increases for nonsupervisory workers, the latest Consumer Price Index data suggests.
That is odd for an economy with a tight labor market, with unemployment running at a 3.8 percent. And some analysts say it is a reason for officials to slow their pace of rate increases, since the benefits of a hot economy have not yet translated into a significant wage increase for workers.
At a comparable time of low unemployment, in 2000, "wages were growing at near 4 percent year over year and the Fed's preferred measure of inflation was 2.5 percent," both above today's levels, Tara Sinclair, a senior fellow at the Indeed Hiring Lab, said in a research note. "Too many increases too quickly could choke the economy before we really see how good it could get."
Mr. Powell played down concerns about slow wage growth, acknowledging it is "a bit of a puzzle" but suggesting that it would normalize as the economy continued to strengthen.
The Fed chairman said growth was being lifted, at least in the short term, by tax cuts and government spending increases signed into law by President Trump last year. And he dismissed, for now, concerns that Mr. Trump's trade policies, including tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, were hurting growth, saying the Fed had yet to see any data indicating an impact.
"So right now, we don't see that in the numbers at all. The economy is very strong, the labor market is strong, growth is strong," he said, adding, "I would put it down as more of a risk."
In a statement released at the end of the two-day meeting, Fed officials noted that economic activity had been rising "at a solid rate" — a change from their May statement, when they called the rate "moderate." Fed officials now expect the economy to grow at a 2.8 percent rate this year, up from a 2.7 percent forecast in March. The unemployment rate is now projected to fall to 3.6 percent by year's end, down from a forecast of 3.8 percent in March.
"The changes from the Fed today should not come as a surprise, given recent economic developments, but they nonetheless signal a more hawkish outlook for the next few quarters," Eric Winograd, a senior economist at AllianceBernstein, said in a research note.
The Fed now faces a tricky balancing act as it tries to calibrate how to keep the economy chugging along. Raising rates too quickly could snuff out the economic recovery, which has finally begun to gain steam after years of sluggish growth. But not raising rates fast enough could allow inflation to spiral out of control, driving up prices and potentially plunging the economy back into a recession.
A few Fed officials have raised concerns that the inflation trend could accelerate rapidly, forcing the Fed to raise rates faster than expected to keep the economy from overheating. They appeared to have won a convert in Wednesday's projections, which now show that a majority of officials expect rates to rise to a range of 2.25 to 2.5 percent by the end of this year.
Officials continue to project three additional increases in 2019, but reduced the number of forecast increases for 2020 from two to one.
A faster pace of rate increases could slow economic growth, potentially frustrating Mr. Trump. But Fed officials signaled a willingness to allow inflation to remain slightly above their 2 percent target for several years — which would be accommodative for growth.

STEM Volunteers Seek Support
CNY Drones, a community-based volunteer group, kicked-off its 2019 Fundraising Campaign. Founded in 2016, the group provides low-cost interactive drone demonstrations, introductory flying sessions, build workshops, and an annually themed indoor Team Drone Challenge, all promoting STEM - science, technology, engineering and math. The organization's Planning Committee meets weekly to update its information hub website and map out a variety of events to reach rural and inner-city students. CNY Drones volunteer mentors provide safe flying information and guidance while promoting regional education and employment opportunities. All mentors are members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, an international community-based organization for recreational drone pilots. Local company and individual donations continue to make CNY Drones' low-cost programs possible by supporting the purchase and maintenance of drone and presentation equipment. The group's volunteers head a community effort to provide a connecting point for tech-minded students and parents.
"We're here to answer questions from students who've been intrigued by drone technology, attended STEM camps or purchased a drone and want to learn more," according to John Reade, CNY Drones Safety Officer. "We're the support system that sparks further interest in the education and employment pipeline. We see start-up and economic development promotion on one end. Then there's all-in drone racing on the other end. We're situated in the middle, helping students and adults see the whole picture of what is out there. We speak to the future tech workforce."
Drones' activities center around their growing drone event. The 2019 Team Drone Challenge, FOREST FURY consists of two separate 30 by 60-foot netted flying fields. The event features 17 high school-level teams from New York State and Connecticut. Regional teams scheduled to compete include Carthage, Cazenovia, Cortland, East Syracuse-Minoa, Hannibal, Oneida, Stockbridge, Syracuse City Schools, and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill. This year's competition will be held at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute Wildcat Field House on April 7, 2019. The event is free to spectators and is hosted by the SUNY Academy of Model Aeronautics Student Club, the 3D Printing and Design Club and Fabrication/Combat Bots Club.
In addition to their fundraising drive, CNY Drones seeks volunteers to assist as general event staff, website and social media contributors, event organizers, technical advisors, school liaison, and mentors. Drone enthusiasts and aspiring drone enthusiasts benefit greatly from the connections made through the group. No previous experience is necessary. CNY Drones exists under the fiscal sponsorship of the Griffiss Institute, a 501c3. Donations made through the Griffiss Institute are tax deductible.

Marcheline Bertrand was an American actress and humanitarian worker whose best claim to fame is being the mother of one most celebrated Hollywood luminaries—Angelina Jolie. Marcheline had a very brief stint as an actress, starring in less than 10 movies and appearing in a few television programs and episodes. After she was through with acting, she tried her hand in production that led to her joining hands with her partner and documentary filmmaker, Bill Day to incorporate Woods Road Productions. A documentary on Sioux activist, musician and poet, John Trudell which she produced was selected to be screened at 'Sundance Film Festival' and 'Tribeca Film Festival'. The short film also bagged the Special Jury Prize in the Seattle International Film Festival, for being the 'Best Documentary'. Marcheline devoted the best years of her life towards humanitarian causes. She teamed up with John Trudell, one of her partners, to lay the foundations for a charity organization titled, 'All Tribes Foundation' with the pious objective of supporting Native Americans, economically and culturally. After she was laid low with primary peritoneal cancer (ovarian cancer) when she was 49 years old, she established another charitable institution, 'Give Love Give Life' with Trudell for disseminating public awareness on gynecological cancers via music. She passed away at the age of 56, following a protracted struggle with cancer.
