Christianity, secularism, and America: an exploration and critique of the historical, legal, social, and philosophical implications of secularism from an American perspective.

MetadataShow full item record
The historian C. John Sommerville has invited academics to treat secularism much as they have religion, which means he thinks it should be studied, written about, and taught critically. This dissertation represents an attempt to accept Professor Sommerville's invitation and perhaps to become a new student of a discipline we might call secularism studies. In a world divided into a growing number of religious factions, secularism has been supposed by many to be an answer to the fact of religious plurality. The logic of secularism is that by conducting our affairs without reference to God we can avoid religious division and deal with each other on a common basis. In the American context, it is often suggested that secularism is not only conceptually wise, but is mandated by our Constitution. Advocates of secularism also advance the idea that secularism is rationally superior to religious alternatives in the sense that it hews more closely to the path of science and empirical rationality. It is the contention of this dissertation that all of the above notions about secularism are misguided and that at least some religious societies, particularly Christian ones, are capable of successfully accounting for pluralism without oppressive hegemony, and, in fact, have an incentive to do so. The analysis of secularism centers specifically on how it evolved in the West, to what degree the framers of the American Constitution set out either a secular or Christian America (or avoided the question entirely), whether secularism can successfully claim to be a neutral method of running a society, and whether secularism really deserves a reputation as a running mate of scientific rationality.

Natural, undetectable, real-looking hair strokes that don't melt or wash away.
There are a few contraindications for this procedure to be aware of. If you have any questions regarding any of these please call to ask (480) 471-8544
Please wash your hair before the procedure and let me know if you have/had allergic reactions to topical anesthetics.
Other contraindications:
Microblading, also known as Eyebrow Embroidery is a procedure categorized under permanent makeup, but unlike traditional cosmetic tattooing, it is less invasive and is considered semi-permanent. Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on skin type and skincare routine. The procedure is done by using a hand tool with ultra fine needles and each 'hair' is gently etched into the skin, giving an incredibly natural and realistic look. Microblading can dramatically correct or fully reconstruct lost eyebrow and is excellent for those wanting to enhance their brows or who have little to no eyebrows, thinning brows from age or over tweezed brows. Pigments used are chosen to match the natural or desired brow color and skin tone will also be taken into consideration.
For the first Microblading session, the entire procedure should take about 2.5-3 hours. During this session, the brow technician will shape and style the client's brows for client approval. We then follow with pigment color selection. Once the client is satisfied with the choices, we begin the procedure.
The client is to come in for a follow up visit in order to have any minor necessary touch ups. The second Microblading session takes place after 4-6 weeks after the initial session. This session will take approximately 1.5-2 hours to complete.
The eyebrow area will be slightly red after the procedure and color will appear very dark. This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process. The color will fade by up to 40% as it heals. In the following days, the eyebrows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight scabbing. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the microbladed area. The eyebrows will lighten up in color as it heals. No down time is required after microblading procedure. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in. You'll notice the color is very light right after the two weeks after healing; the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. This is known as the milk skin and is common in tattooing. This is due to the the tissue still healing from the inside out even though the surface of the skin is healed. True color will reveal itself once healed.
Yes! A touch up session after 4-6 weeks is necessary as everyone heals differently and outcome will vary. Certain areas may not pick up during first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment color may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch up session is when we refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the color for the whole year!
Touch up sessions should not be done earlier than 4 weeks after initial microblading session as pigment color has not fully settled into the skin. Most importantly, this is to prevent scar damage as the tissue requires time to completely heal.
The pain level for the procedure is considered mild to none. Prior to the procedure your brow technician will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area, and also reapplied during the procedure. Everyone responds differently to anesthetic; depending on the client, the feeling of the procedure has been described as light cat scratches to not feeling anything. Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine. After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. Clients describe the area feeling similar to a light sunburn. Clients can take Tylenol but not aspirin or ibuprofen.
Since microblading pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade overtime. Microblading typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on skin type (normal, oily, dry), age (youthful/mature). Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: patients who tan, uses products with AHA or Glycolic Acid with fade faster as your skin will resurface faster. Each individual's color retention within the skin will vary. To maintain the brows looking fresh, a touch up is suggested every 12-18 months. Clients can let the microbladed area fade over time, but please note a slight shadow may remain.
In order to achieve the best results, it is best to follow the pre and post care instructions.
Prior to your procedure, clients are advised of the following:
After your procedure, clients MUST follow these instructions:
Microblading is not suitable for the following candidates:
* We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who we deem not suitable for this procedure or for any other reason. Our brow technicians make the decision to microblade an individual based on their own discretion. *
We take all proper precautions for a safe session by using sterilized equipment, new needles and in a sanitized environment. Should clients follow our pre and post care instructions, there should be minimal risks or complications . Although allergic reactions to the pigments are rare, it could be possible for certain individuals. We suggest a pigment patch test for individuals who have high skin sensitivities or are sensitive to:
Patch tests should be performed 5-7 days prior.
As with all cosmetic procedures, individuals should not make their choices lightly. We always recommend clients do their research, understand the procedure and compare different artists' work and portfolio when making their decisions. Our brow technicians will do their utmost to shape and style the eyebrows to the clients satisfaction prior to the procedure. Every effort will be made to achieve an even appearance, but please realize our faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Uneven appearance can be fixed during the touch up session. Pigment discoloration and color correction can also be fixed during the the touch up session. Microbladed brows will eventually fade away if no additional touch ups are done.

Last Sunday, George Will offered the Republican Party a way out of its present conundrum with respect to the growing Latino population. This is a population that cares deeply about the immigration issue, both as a matter of self-interest and as a symbolic issue. The conundrum is this: how to address the immigration debate without at the same time alienating Latinos? For an answer, Will looked to Luis Fortuño, governor of Puerto Rico and a member of the Republican Party.
According to Fortuño, the solution is simple: Republicans must couple their insistence on border control with support for statehood for Puerto Rico. Doing this would soften the Republican message of immigration reform. Interestingly, as Fortuño well knows, not all Latinos are the same, nor do they care about the same issues. Crucial to his argument is his belief that Latinos now share a common consciousness, thanks to many factors, including Spanish network television such as Telemundo and Univisión.*
* This makes no sense to me. I can't see how an immigrant living illegally in Phoenix will find any comfort within a party that closed down the border and wishes to send him back across the border yet granted full citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico for politically expedient reasons. Does Fortuño really think Latinos are that stupid?
The debate over the status of Puerto Rico presents very difficult questions about democratic citizenship, sovereignty, and American constitutionalism. Unfortunately, Fortuño does not engage these questions. Instead, Will and Fortuño focus their attention on the practical and political realities of Puerto Rican statehood. This is unfortunate because the status question, and the future of millions of American citizens living on the island, devolves into a question of political expediency.
Nobody said colonialism would be easy.
At the heart of this debate is the question of self-determination, as well as H.R. 2499, also known as the Puerto Rico Democracy Act. This legislation would mark the first time that the U.S. Congress actively supports resolution of the status question through a plebiscite. This bill has received much Republican support, from Fortuño himself as well as leading Republicans Eric Cantor, Mike Pence, and Jeb Hensarling. It is also true, and Will underscores, that every President from Truman onward supported the right of the people of Puerto Rico to determine their collective fate. These are the easy questions. But as he notes, there are also problems.
For example,
· The per capita income of the island is half that of the poorest state – Mississippi – and twenty seven percent of the richest state – Connecticut.
· Puerto Rico is "a distinct cultural and linguistic entity," which goes to the question whether the island "belongs in the federal union."
· Puerto Ricans on the island only pay federal income taxes on income gained off the island.
· Island residents are lukewarm at best about joining the union, as evidenced by the three referenda, in 1967, 1993, and 1998. In contrast, residents of Hawaii and Alaska supported statehood in overwhelming numbers.
Fortuño responds to these concerns capably, but the better question is why these are issues are part of the debate at all. Take, for example, the income tax issue. To the critique that island residents, American citizens at birth, do not have representation in the U.S. Congress, a leading response is that island residents do not pay income taxes. Maybe this is unfair (naïve?) on my part, but I don't have a clue about how to respond to that argument. How is the income tax question connected to the rights of citizenship? The point is not that island residents are shirking their duties of citizenship, i.e., paying taxes, and thus undeserving of statehood. Rather, the point is that island residents do not pay federal income taxes because Congress chooses not to tax their income on the island. Assuming statehood becomes a reality, then paying income taxes follows. What's so hard about that?
Anyone who is serious about the status question must pay close attention to the historical context that has placed the island in the difficult position it finds itself today. That is to say, "critics from the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico must be prepared to acknowledge that the United States has played no small role in suborning the Puerto Rican independence movement and complicating the island's economy."
Make no mistake: the questions surrounding the present status of Puerto Rico are not easy. And yet, the one question any self-respecting democracy must ask itself is whether it should hold any part of its citizenry in colonial status in perpetuity. I think this question has a right answer, one that does not hinge on the political expediencies of the day. The status of Puerto Rico is an embarrassment that should come to an end once and for all.

The Status of Puerto Rico, H.R. 2499, and Luis Fortuño

Thank you for your post. In reality Puerto Rico is capable of being a state, but what we need is the opportunity to demonstrate that we can be a state. For instance, being able to vote for the President of the US. Congress is the responsible part for us not having to pay Federal Income Tax, that is not of our choosing, but we do understand that in order to be a state, we need to comply with the responsibilities of such a political status.ReplyDelete

Considered the large variety of models and their scales of reproduction, it is unthinkable to find what you need in hobby shops. So every prototype is hand made in the old traditional way. So, hacksaw, drill, files, sandpaper, creativity and a lot of "elbow grease".
For this type of activity, which takes away a lot, but a lot of time, I use my favorite materials: plastic, wood soft and good glue.
Most of the work should done it by itself, but sometimes happens to use pieces of old kits or objects that are used to anything in reality.
This allows me to make a suggestion: sometimes you find strange objects that seemingly useless. Do not throw them away if you can keep them .. sooner or later you will find their modeling purpose.

Jean-Robin Mantha had participated regularly in pre-season sessions, so Patrick Grandmaître was surprised when the 22-year-old defenceman told his Ottawa Gee-Gees hockey team coach he wanted to talk before practice the next day.
Grandmaître expected something "hockey-related." What he heard was "testicular cancer."
"First I had to tell the coach because I couldn't practise anymore," Mantha said. "He asked me, 'Do you want to tell the guys, or do you want to keep it low.' I said, 'The guys have to know this. I just can't disappear like that.
"At the beginning, I didn't want to tell anybody about this except my family and my close friends, but, the further I went, … It was the first week of chemo, it made me think a lot because now all the world was upside down, and I thought maybe I could open up. I was scared to open up, but I said maybe I could do something about this and do something positive."
Grandmaître said Mantha reassured his teammates even as he dropped the news about his cancer on them in September. He knew what he was dealing with and had the information he needed.
"For a lot of us, we don't really know what that means: chemo," Grandmaître said. "We know that it's to deal with cancer, but … we're getting ready for games and practices and stuff, and J.R.'s back home recuperating, or he's at the hospital, getting his chemo treatment.
"I remind the guys quite often, say, 'You know, you think this is tough? Just remember where J.R. is right now, just remember what J.R. is dealing with. It's not that bad that we're down a goal, it's not that bad that we are tired and on the road, it's not that bad that we have a busy week with mid-terms and stuff like that."
Fortunately, Mantha remains able to tell his own story and to be hopeful of not only a recovery, but also a return to the ice with the Gee-Gees.
It wasn't like that for Mélisa Kingsley, a Gee-Gees women's hockey team player who died Oct. 31, slightly more than two years after she was diagnosed with sarcoma.
Men's squad members likely didn't know Kingsley well because she spent a lot of time at home in Sudbury after her diagnosis in 2016, Grandmaître said, but they be familiar with other Gee-Gees women's players who were her friends and teammates.
FULL STORY: New goal for Gee-Gees hockey player Jean-Robin Mantha: beating cancer
The team dressing rooms are separated by a short hallway, and Grandmaître's office is next to that of women's coach Yanick Evola, a teammate with the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in 2000-02.
Grandmaître said they talked about Kingsley a lot as her death became imminent.
"It was more, 'How are you doing things? Do you need my help?' That kind of fraternity," Grandmaître said.
"We made sure that we were there for them if they need our help for anything, just trying to support them and talking to these girls. Before they went to say their final goodbyes to Mélisa, we had our team shaking hands and giving hugs to the girls before they go ton that dreadful bus ride to go do that … Just telling your buddies or your fellow university mates that you're there for them."

Educating our clients on important industry changes and regulations that affect their businesses is one of Data Facts' top goals.
California employers, and companies with branches or divisions in California, should familiarize themselves with the following information.
*Originally posted on Littler.com by Jennifer Mora.
In April 2012, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued its long-awaited "Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964" (2012 Guidance). The 2012 EEOC Guidance does not prohibit employers from using criminal records, but outlines best practices that the EEOC advises employers to follow, including a recommendation that employers, among other things: (1) remove from employment applications the question that asks job applicants to self-disclose their criminal record; (2) not make an employment decision based solely on the fact of an arrest record; and (3) conduct an "individualized assessment" before rejecting an applicant or terminating an employee because of a conviction.

Need help? Check out Spotify Answers for solutions to a wide range of topics.
I've always had my iphone plugged in in my car listening to spotify (as the foreground app) as I drive and the screen has always stayed awake...untill about a week ago.
Now, when my iphone is plugged in and playing spotify (as the foreground app) the screen turns off as per my usual 30 second sleep time. Google maps still seems to be able to keep my screen awake when it's being used and plugged in in my car, as usual, but Spotify has stopped working!
What has changed, was this part of Spotify update, was it always a bug for me, or is the new behaviour a bug?
I really want to keep my screen awake (when it's plugged in) and playing!
Hi @Justinseals,
Hope you are doing well. This has indeed changed. A workaround would be to change auto-lock to "never" under your phone settings. It's not a very elegant solution, and you would likely have to remember to change it when you're not driving. If you'd like to see this feature come back, I would suggest adding a new idea over at the Idea Exchange.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope this at least answers some of the questions you had.
Preventing auto lock at the system level is unacceptable and for those of us with managed devices, impossible.
please restore this functionality Spotify!
Agree! This is so annoying to have to wake up and unlock the screen when you want to do anything. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!!

Born and bred in Oxford as I am, it's a shame that I wasn't able to catch Roland Emmerich's reassignment of the city's most illustrious nobleman as the real writer of William Shakespeare's plays when Anonymous very briefly brushed through the local cinemas late last year. But now, thanks to the blu ray, I have made amends and, purist though I am particularly when it comes to Shakespeare, I really rather liked it. I wasn't expecting to fall for it. I had my scoffing hat on ready. But Roland Emmerich has this rather extraordinary power of making me warm to his films. As preposterous as they may be, as hammy as they can be, they have a charm to them which isn't just to do with their enormous budgets. Obviously, 10,000 BC is the exception.
Anonymous is not like any of Roland's other films. This time he steered clear of apocalyptic scenarios, bad weather and invading aliens, to tell the tale of a story that has always intrigued and interested him – the speculation that William Shakespeare's plays had in fact been penned by someone else, Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford. This was a personal project but because it was also a Roland Emmerich project, it would still be full of spectacle and done on a grand scale for a big budget. It would also retain that preposterous element.
The William Shakespeare of Anonymous is a word-fumbling, thuggish lout of an actor who accidentally falls into and upsets a scheme between Oxford and playwright Ben Jonson to pass off Oxford's plays as the work of someone else and get them on the stage. An Earl with the ear of Queen Elizabeth I cannot be seen wasting his time as a writer and poet, a scandalous profession in these days when a play was viewed by many as an act of sedition. Bigger events are afoot, however. The Earl Of Essex, Elizabeth's old advisor William Cecil and his son Robert – here suggested as the hunchback model for Richard III – are running rings around each other and the ailing Queen. With the threat of Spain and France still very real and Mary Queen of Scots' son James standing in the wings, Elizabeth's throne continues to tremble, even after all these years. No wonder then that she enjoys the relief of a good play, not to mention a handsome playwright. Elizabeth's abandonment when watching one of 'Shakespeare"s tragedies is so extreme she even undoes her corset in full view of a polite audience of courtiers.
There is barely a soul in Anonymous who is not up to some kind of mischief – soldiers, advisers, playwrights, the mob, the Queen, nobles, families – they're all plotting and getting hot under the collar. Oxford's situation is not helped by being married to the play-hating daughter of William Cecil and nor is her situation helped by her husband being mutually adored by the play-loving Queen. In this alternate reality, the Queen is not backwards in coming forwards with her loving subjects and she makes regular use of convenient nine-month long Progresses around her kingdom. One such Progress followed her liaison with Oxford, the produce of which has an impact on this story.
But aside from all the shenanigans and intrigues and plots, what makes Anonymous such a surprisingly enjoyable piece of cinema is its theatricality. Actors dressed in the most superb costumes populate extraordinarily sumptuous sets. Elizabethan London is splendid – its theatres, streets, river, palaces, dungeons and bridges. It is all presented on the broadest scale with vast panoramas across the city or along the Thames, populated by what looks like a cast of thousands. The theatre scenes of which there are many are a huge highlight of the film. The presentations of the plays, before the most enthusiastic emotionally-involved crowds, complete with jealous playwrights nevertheless moved to tears by the beauty of the lines being delivered in front of them, is fabulous. Perhaps one shouldn't be surprised that the best parts of a film about Shakespeare's plays are the plays themselves. Watching scenes from Henry V, Richard III and Julius Caesar you really can understand why these plays were viewed with such suspicion by nervous politicians. They were stirring stuff and the mob were very happy to let themselves be stirred up.
Oxford himself – played almost unrecognisably by Rhys Ifans – has to suffer the indignity of watching an oaf claim his plays and receive the adoration due to him. He has become an observer of men and while that inspires his plays it doesn't do much to impress his wife or father-in-law. Robert Cecil (Edward Hogg) is a pantomime villain whereas David Thewliss gives some depth to William Cecil. Vanessa Redgrave clearly has a marvellous time playing an Elizabeth I who is fighting off the dotage towards the end of a long life. Having Vanessa's daughter Joely Richardson play the Queen as a younger woman is both clever and effective. Jamie Campbell Bower as the young Oxford is far less so. I had a fair amount of trouble marrying the two together.
There is a lot of flitting to and fro between the years throughout Anonymous, there is also quite a mix of scenes on stage and off, with Elizabeth's court itself presented as a type of theatre. All this is in keeping with the film's structure as a play – Derek Jacobi as himself opens the film on a theatre stage in the present day, purposefully reminding us of Shakespeare's use of narrator at the beginning of Henry V.
All of this is well and good and certainly makes for a feast for the eyes and ears. However, where the film falls down is in its plotting. Emmerich is only able to let off a few fireworks in Anonymous, he therefore makes up for this lack of explosive energy so beloved by him in his other films by blowing up the reputations of Elizabeth, William Shakespeare, the Earl of Oxford and Ben Jonson instead. Yet, as a tribute to the plays themselves, it is second to none.

This bundle contains 6 500mL bottles of the 2017 Lusu Cellars Carignan. Perfect for enjoying any night of the week!Lusu Cellars Carignan is classic in style, similar to the most restrained, complex and floral examples from France. It's not like the harsher, more tannic styles you often find in Spain and Australia. David Teixeira grew up in a winemaking family, picking grapes with his relatives. All that early experience taught him that some of California's best vineyards aren't in prestigious regions—and not to fear Carignan. It often yields a hard-edged, tannic wine, but with attentive farming and careful handling you get a juicy, complex red that's incredible when served with almost any dish.

Gas and oil issues as they pertain to the Newfoundland & Labrador,and Canadian consumer.
Wednesday, September 20, 2006
Hi to all...
Just to let you all know that I have the numbers that alow for downwards movement of fuels I am tracking. Interruption criteria calls for an average of 3.5 cents a litre-up or down-movement over a five day period.
Heating oil shows a downwards movement by 3.96 cents a litre which should also be the same for stove oils.
Gasoline shows a 3.52 cent a litre over the last five days-downwards- and that means, if my numbers are right, gasoline will come down by 3.43 cents a litre plus taxes (3.9 or 4.0 cents a litre).
Heating/stove oils showed interruption as of yesterday and pricing should be adjusted down to the consumer as of 12:01A.M this coming Saturday, September 23/06. Good builds of inventory the last couple of weeks has figured well into downwards drops in spot pricing and we're hopeful that this will continue and not factor into high winter pricing.
Heating/stove oil spots are now 13 cents a litre below last years levels. What a turnaround!
Gasoline shows that pricing will be adjusted down as of Sunday morning, September 24/06 by the 3.9 or 4.0 cent a litre figure. Gasoline spots are now 12 cents below the same day for last year as well. No hurricanes, good inventories in the aftermath of the summer driving season and a somewhat stable international political situation are keeping things down-for now.
While my number is within the confines of my margin for error of 3/10ths of a cent, adjustment may not occur that morning but on Monday morning. That's because gasoline traded down again today by 4 cents US per gallon which brings the margin for error in line with what's happening out there in the markets.
Certainly, by Monday morning, gasoline will be down in the 98 cents a litre bracket.
Mind you, the companies don't have to wait for official word from the Public Utilities Board! We dare someone to "go for market share" in the interim. The Petroleum Pricing Office sets a maximum allowable and companies are free to charge below the regulated maximum if they "so wish".
Let's see what they do.
Regards for now,

International Atomic Energy Agency cracks Bush...
Look for Oil Pricing to Drop Further...
Seems that George Bush and his cronies at the Huse and Senate Intelligence Committee will be eating crow for the next couple of weeks,or until they can find another reason to poke a warlike stick at Iran. He should never have started to rub the bottle-poor George!
According to a story on CNN tonight, the United Nations world energy watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency wrote to George's crowd and scolded them for a dishonest case against Iran's nuclear intentions calling their findings "outrageous and dishonest".
George?...Lie?...Naw!...say it ain't so!...
According to the report, the IAEA wrote to the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee who claimed that Iran's nuclear program of enriching uranium was meant for nuclear weapons. The Committee had been claiming that Iran was using it's enrichment program for the sole purpose of nuclear weapons manufacture. Iran is far from the possibility according to the IAEA.
Look for the possibility of further downwards movement in crude, gasoline and heating oil pricing on the news.
Looks like Big Oil might take the kick on this one as well as the oil-rich Bush family. Let's hope that the United Nations can turn this one back on them all!

Numbers confirmed...Heating,Stove and Gasoline to Drop...
They say that "When you're in Rome, do as the Romans do..." That being the case, my numbers are already indicating a drop at the pump and heating truck level to come to Newfoundland and Labrador cnsumers as early as September 15th 12:01 A.M.
There's not a lot of rocket science to the fact that,if I have the numbers then, they must have them too.
Numbers show that heating/stove oil pricing will drop back another 4.41 cents a litre while gasoline will drop back by 5.3 cents a litre.Why are they waiting?
Thankfully, because spots on heating and stove oils dropped again this month, we're now at a situation where we are almost 5 cents a litre below last years levels. I'm not saying that we're out of the woods on the heating pricing issue for the winter though.
Far from it because, in essence, we got lucky as consumers....
We're in a bit of a "null" now where ,traditionally, we have seen heating and stove oil pricing begin to increase in price, to peak sometime in February.The last time I saw pricing drop back in this manner was in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks when airline traffic went to crap and distillate inventory rose as a result.
With a very contentious situation with Iran and the European Union negotiations over Iran's nuclear program still going, any turnabout in negotiations may very well leave Iran using it's 4.5 million barrel per day oil production capacity as a weapon against the west in the event of a series of economic sanctions placed on it by the United Nations.They may not shut off the spigots but, they can very well turn back output and that's enough to reverse the downwards trend in heating oil pricing we're witness to right now.
Guess we have to take another "wait and see" attitude before we're free and clear for the winter season.
Keep the blankets handy though...

Prices Pointing Down...Hold off at the Pumps...
and the Heating Oil Truck too...
Just to let you all know in Atlantic Canada as well as Newfoundland and Labrador that I am tracking a decent drop in fuel pricing to come to the consumer over the coming days.
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick consumers should be looking at a decrease anywhere around 2 to 3 cents at the pumps while, on the 15th here on the Rock, we could see anywhere around 6 cents a litre-IF things keep up.
The last couple of days have been steadily down and that is also reflected at the heating oil level. Heating oils are down by about three cents a litre as of the 6th and, I'm hoping that will keep down until the last business days leading up to the 11th.
More on the 12th as regards to what we'll be seeing then...

Another Hurricane This way Comes...
A look at the National Hurricane Center's website might give one pause for concern, certainly if you reside anywhere where the storm may land.
I tend to observe what they do to the oil markets at times like this.Lucky for all of us consumers out there, this one isn't headed for the Gulf of Mexico. I am waiting for the excuse come Wednesday next week where the Energy Information Administration might say something like "Imports of crude oil were disrupted last week as a result of the storms on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts."
Interesting as it is, a storm like this one entered into the Gulf of Mexico twice last year and we all payed for it, not that it was necessary mind you. In the after-effects of Katrina and Rita last year, prices spiked to the highest since the Arab oil embargo of the 1970's. Back then, lineups at the pumps were a common sight and with Rita's promise of "damage" we lined up ourselves again. The traders in the oil exchnges also lined up, but for a different reason. They all collected the highest commissions that were earned off our backsides.
We paid for it...
While there was damage to oil infrastructure, inventories didn't dry up, the US government loaned "Big Oil" some of it's strategic reserve and an "imagined" shortfall never happened.
Just to let you oil traders and oil companies know; that your policies of putting oil infrastructure in dangerous places and speculating on the damage that can be caused, is not going un-noticed by the consumer out there and "we are on our toes" looking out for that next excuse you'll be using to reap from the consumer field.
Justified you might say?
I think not...
What have we learned from all this?...
We've learned that "Big Oil" will fall back on any excuse in a co-ordinated attack against our wallets, that "Big Oil" expects us not to re-act, that we had better watch the weather and don't buy property in Florida.

Drop in Heating and Stove Oils Coming...
Just to let you all know that I have the numbers that show for interruption of heating and stove oil pricing here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Heating and stove oil prices should drop as of Tuesday morning,September 05/06 by some 2.59 cents a litre. If present spot pricing continues, we may even see another slight downwards move in pricing come the 15th.
While not a big lot, this drop comes at the end of the summer driving season when, traditionally, we see prices drop back at the start of the summer season. That didn't happen until today.
Too many international factors exist that are not allowing me to change my forcast for almost 90 cents a litre at peak this coming winter. Factors like continuing Middle East unrest, the Iraq war, Nigeria and the possibility that Iran could use oil as an economic weapon in it's quest to continue with it's nuclear program all are making for an uncertain market.
What may help me change my mind?
A drop in distillate demand like diesels because of an economic slowdown, drop in jet fuel demand or excellent builds in heating oil inventories. Maybe even a little devine intervention here?
It's awfully late for the drop to happen as it is but, we'll take it.

Sense your role
Ephesians 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
As ministers we must be sensitive in our spirit to our role in the work of the ministry. What has God called you to do? What has the Spirit of God spoken to you when you were not even trying to think about it?
Don't try to be anything except what He has spoken to you. As your life progresses be quick to obey the voice of God within you. This is of extra importance in the area of taking roles within the Church.
Has God called you to teach? Then be a teacher. Preach? Then be a preacher. Pastor? Evangelist? Then by all means be one.
Too many times men have gotten a general idea to preach and then forced themselves into the most ego gratifying role available. Most of the time Pastor is an easy pick. A few more take it a step further and say well Apostles appoint Pastors so I'm going to be known as Apostle Bob.
There is nothing wrong with God calling you to be a Pastor or an Apostle. But let God do the picking and have enough inner strength to not assume anything one way or the other.
Do you have the humility to appoint the full responsibilities of Pastor to someone else if God leads you that direction? When my wife and I were started Faith in Action Ministries, I never felt a specific call to be Pastor of the organization. She did so I had to let go of the natural tenancy to appoint myself as Lead Pastor. I stepped out of the way and let God give that to her.
It takes a bigger person to give power than to take it. Believe me! You will have to remind yourself of this because it is not comfortable to do the unconventional thing. Great is your reward when you do exactly what God has spoken to your heart.
Meditation: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38
Doesn't that apply to the tithe? Yes, and even harder than giving of our money and time... sometimes the more difficult thing to give is position.

Buddy Wentworth Dies At Home
The former deputy minister of what was then called the ministry of higher education at independence, Buddy Wentworth died yesterday morning at his home.
Wentworth who was a deputy minister following independence in 1990 died at his home in Olympia after a long battle with heart disease. He was in his late 70s. According to his friend Reggie Diergaardt, Wentworth retired from active politics in 2005 and went back to the classroom – a job he had done for the better part of his life before his appointment as deputy minister. "He was a teacher by profession. He did not do anything else besides education. Education was his passion. And so it did not surprise me when he was appointed as first deputy minister [of higher education] after independence. He served for 15 years in that position," Diergaardt said.
Before his appointment as deputy minister, Wentworth taught at Dr Lemmer High School in Rehoboth prior to independence before he became a principal at Tamariskia Primary School in Swakopmund in the late 80s. "When he retired, he did not do anything else. He only lived with his family at their Olympia home until his death this morning," his friend said. The former deputy minister is survived by his Muslim wife and 10 children from his first wife, who predeceased him. Since Wentworth was a devout Muslim he was laid to rest last night at around 21h00. His memorial service will be held over the weekend at a venue and time to be announced during the course of the week.

Oregon Students Working This Summer Need to Focus on SafetySalem-News.com
(SALEM) - Oregon OSHA wants to remind Oregon students working during the summer to focus on working safely. The top suggestion is to report any unsafe condition or equipment problems to your supervisor promptly.
If there is any doubt in your mind about the safety of the materials you are handling or your work duties, you have the responsibility to bring your concerns to your supervisor's attention.
In 2004, 149 Oregon workers under age 18 were seriously injured, with a 16-year-old fatally injured, in work-related incidents eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Falls and being struck by equipment are the two most common injury causes for younger workers.
Younger workers in any occupation should follow these safety suggestions:
Be ready for accidents and emergencies: Know where the first-aid kit is located in your work area. Do not respond to an accident unless you are trained in first aid. If you are not trained to respond, know who is the designated emergency responder in your work area.
Report any injury to a supervisor immediately.
Know where the emergency exits are in your work area. Prevent cuts and lacerations: If you're handling a knife, always cut away from the body. If you do receive a cut, get first aid. All surfaces where blood may have spilled should be properly cleaned to protect you and others from bloodborne diseases.
Protect yourself, and your senses: Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes against liquid splashes or flying debris. If using chemicals, make sure you have been trained about chemicals that you are using and their hazards. Wear hearing protection when exposed to loud noises. Work should affect your clothing choices: Wear clothing that is appropriate for the job and work environment. Wear enclosed shoes. Protect your feet from falling objects, lawn mower blades, hot grease, chemical spills, and other hazards. For jobs where heavy loads could fall, wear shoes with metal-reinforced toe guards. Don't wear loose clothing or dangling jewelry that can be caught in moving or rotating parts. Keep long hair restrained. Prevent slips, trips, and falls: Keep floors clean and free of spills, oils, and debris. Do not allow electrical cords and other objects to extend across a walkway. While mopping, make sure signs warn others of the danger of wet surfaces. If you have to use a ladder, make sure it is secure. Never step on the top platform of any ladder, including a stepladder. If your work involves machine operations: Do not use equipment or tools without proper guards. Never reach inside moving machinery. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing while using machines with high-speed moving parts, like drill presses. Never use electrical equipment when standing in water. For work that requires manual lifting, be sure to use proper lift techniques: Get closer to the load. Grab the load safely, with your hands under or low on the object. Bend your knees, with feet slightly spread for balance and stability. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line as you lift. Do not twist. Turn your entire body, including your feet. Know how much weight you can safely lift. Get help lifting if necessary. Keep safe and prevent exposure to violence where you work: If you're working late, keep doors locked and avoid working alone. If there is a robbery attempt, do not argue or struggle with the perpetrators. Ask for an escort to your car if it's dark out. Park your vehicle in a well-lighted area. Employers are required by law to provide a safe workplace and follow rules about compensation, meal and rest breaks, and work that is restricted for an employee under age 18. Contact Oregon OSHA about workplace safety and health concerns. For questions about wage and hour requirements or restricted activities, contact the Bureau of Labor and Industries. Oregon OSHA, (800) 922-2689 or

After the Carnival and all its sweet temptations, it's time for "lean eating"
It was usually said so when there was talk of food during Lent; that forty days period that begins with Ash Wednesday and arrives until Good Friday before Easter, which falls on the first of April this year.
Here's how to keep the body light during the period of Lent
Nowadays a real Lenten fast is no longer practiced, but for those who love to keep their body light, there are delicious alternatives to meat.
You can go from dishes based on fish or vegetables (read our post on soup) to foods such as polenta. Typical dishes of this period include the big lean Piedmontese lasagne, pasta with sardines, scammaro omelette. Not to mention the so-called 'Lenten', those sweets which are prepared with different recipes depending on the region.
In today's post, dedicated to "lean eating", we want to propose a recipe signed by the legendary Pellegrino Artusi, the most famous Italian gastronomist and writer, author of the ever-present Science in cooking and the art of eating well.
Recipe 103: Lenten spaghetti
His recipe book contains as many as 700 dishes from the Italian culinary tradition and of the Romagna one in particular because Artusi was from Forlimpopoli. From his work, which has had an impressive spread and is still waiting to be read and put into practice today, we choose recipe No. 103, Lenten spaghetti.
As Artusi himself explains,
"Many reading this recipe will exclaim: – Oh what a ridiculous soup! – Yet I don't mind; it is used in Romagna and, if you serve it to youngsters, you will be almost certain of their satisfaction. Pour some fresh walnuts into breadcrumbs, add the icing sugar and the smell of spices and remove the spaghetti from the water, season it with oil and pepper first, then with this pesto to a good extent. For 400 grams of spaghetti which may suffice for five people: 60 grams of shelled walnuts, 60 grams of breadcrumbs, 30 grams of white powdered sugar and one teaspoon full of fine spices".
Pellegrino Artusi speaks of fine spices in another of his recipes, No. 790, which deals specifically with what he calls 'good': 2 nutmegs, 50 g of Ceylan cinnamon, 30 g of carnations pepper, 20 g of cloves, 20 g of sweet mandarins. Everything must be crushed in a mortar and stored in a can, as long as it is tightly closed.
A very simple preparation
As you can see, the preparation of Lenten spaghetti is quite simple and allows you to bring a light but very tasty dish to the table. In fact, the flavour is delicate and spicy at the same time and the powdered sugar, which may raise a few eyebrows, actually adds that extra touch that will win over the hearts of adults and, above all, children.
To get the best out of the recipe, here are some useful tips on accessories to use: like the trendy colander, which these days you will find in a special offer. With its modern and unmistakable design, it is particularly practical thanks to the longitudinal holes that allow a quicker water discharge than a traditional colander. If you want, you can combine it in an exclusive set with the matching bowl, functional and economic to obtain a double advantage and space.
Have a nice weekend from Omada!

They're calling this matchup a potential Super Bowl preview. There should be plenty of excitement and drama on the field Monday night for NFL fans, but this game isn't taking place without a little drama off the field too… well actually, it's the field that's the whole issue.
Here's a preview of the days leading up to this game as well as what we can expect from the Chiefs-Rams game itself.
Moved From Mexico City to Los Angeles
The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams were scheduled to play one of the NFL's four international matches this season in Mexico City this Monday night. However, poor field conditions at Estadio Azteca where they were supposed to play caused the NFL to relocate the game to Los Angeles. Photos of the field showing its "horrendous conditions" circulated on social media, causing an uproar and concern for the safety of the players. Apparently, a November 7th concert at the stadium left the field in substandard conditions.
To be fair, more recent photos of the stadium don't actually look that bad. Some are joking that it's better than the Raiders stadium where they literally play on baseball clay during the beginning of the season. But multiple concerts, soccer games, and unexpectedly heavy rainfall on top of the field's new natural and synthetic hybrid grass made things more difficult.
There was some concern about the field at Estadio Azteca for the Rams-Chiefs game next Monday in Mexico City. This is what it looked liked today as they began work on it. pic.twitter.com/mRMI2PaohL
— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) November 13, 2018
It appears too late though to salvage things – despite attempts in Mexico City to lay sod and fix the field ASAP – as the decision to move the game has already been made and tickets are already on sale for the game in LA.
But many fans who planned to travel to Mexico City, or those local NFL fans there, are understandably disappointed. Several Rams fans were using it as an opportunity to connect with their roots, bond with Mexican family members, or share an NFL game day with loved ones.
The Rams had already been practicing in Colorado Springs to acclimate to the higher elevations of Mexico City. Still, many players (who'd complained online) and LA-based fans are relieved to be playing the game at home instead.
So why LA? How is that fair? Well, because it was scheduled as a home game for the Rams anyway. But doesn't that give the Rams too much of a home-field advantage? Most say no, as the Rams don't have a huge home fanbase to speak of at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum anyway. (It's not like they're moving it to Arrowhead.) It'll be the Rams' first Monday Night game at the stadium since 1985. For an area that's been dealing with a mass shooting and raging wildfires, they've been organizing things quickly, even giving away free tickets to first responders, lowering prices for season ticket-holders, and making "special arrangements" for those who were planning to head to Mexico City.
A Preview of the Chiefs vs. Rams Game
The Rams and the Chiefs are both 9-1 going into Week 11. Some are dubbing this game the mid-season Super Bowl. There's a lot on the line – well, bragging rights and end-of-season predictions from sports commentators mainly. These high-scoring teams with young, skilled quarterbacks have two of the best offenses in the league and both are favorites to make it to the actual Super Bowl. Mahomes is playing at an MVP-level. Sean McVay is a fantastic coach. So which team will win this one?
With offenses this explosive, some are saying it might come down to who has the better defense. That means QB Jared Goff, who only has two interceptions at home this season, has an easier path to victory. After all, the Rams defense has 26 sacks this season, the ninth best in the league. The addition of Dante Fowler only makes them better. The Chiefs defense is looking better, but that's not huge praise since it was barely nonexistent at the beginning of the season.
Both teams struggle to stop the run and that's a problem when you're playing against an epic running back like Todd Gurley. The Rams definitely have the edge when it comes to the running game but since wide receiver Cooper Kupp's injury, Gurley will have to step up. Either way, most folks are slightly favoring the Rams in this matchup.
What does Vegas think? Well, when two teams are evenly matched, the standard home-field advantage is 3 points. The oddsmakers set the line at Rams -3.5, a line that only grew by one point (from -2.5) after it was announced the game was moved from Mexico City. So like we said, the powers that be don't exactly believe in much of a home-field advantage for the Rams in LA… or they just anticipated the game's relocation… or something else.
Need tickets to see the Rams vs. Chiefs in LA? We've got em!

EXTRA: Jim Elliot Before Ecuador
~ Reminiscence About Jim Elliot ~
Recently I was asked to grant an interview regarding my experience as a child when I knew Jim Elliot. It was a privilege to respond affirmatively. That interview was completed and has now been posted on the "No Greater Joy Dad" blog hosted by Anthony Salem. To go straight to that posted interview click here.
Incidentally, Anthony's wife Adéye hosts the "No Greater Joy Mom" blog. Anthony and Adéye are the parents of seven children (three boys and four girls).
