What she cared about was human souls.
— T.S. Eliot on Simone Weil
Simone Weil was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist.
Taking a path that was unusual among twentieth-century left-leaning intellectuals, she became inclined towards mysticism as her life progressed. Weil wrote throughout her life, though most of her writings did not attract much attention until after her death. In the 1950s and 1960s, her work became famous in continental Europe and throughout the English-speaking world. Albert Camus described her as "the only great spirit of our times"
A precocious student, she was proficient in Ancient Greek by age 12. She later learned Sanskrit after reading the Bhagavad Gita. Like the Renaissance thinker Pico della Mirandola, her interests in other religions were universal and she attempted to understand each religious tradition as an expression of transcendent wisdom.
From her late teenage years, Weil would generally disguise her "fragile beauty" by adopting a masculine appearance, hardly ever using makeup and often wearing men's clothes.
As a teenager, Weil studied at the Lycée Henri IV under the tutelage of her admired teacher Émile Chartier, more commonly known as "Alain". During these years, Weil attracted much attention with her radical opinions. She was called the "Red virgin", and even "The Martian" by her admired mentor.
At the age of 19 she gained admission to the École Normale Supérieure – a French grande école (higher education establishment outside the framework of the public university system). It trained in the critical spirit and secular values of the Enlightenment. It has since developed into an institution which has become a platform for a select few of France's students to pursue careers in government and academia.
The principal goal of ENS is the training of professors, researchers and public administrators. Among its alumni there are 13 Nobel Prize laureates.
She finished first in the exam for the certificate of "General Philosophy and Logic"; Simone de Beauvoir finished second.
Graduating with a Weil taught philosophy at a secondary school for girls in Le Puy and teaching was her primary employment during her short life.
She died at the age of 34 from tuberculosis, however the coroner's report said that "the deceased did kill and slay herself by refusing to eat whilst the balance of her mind was disturbed". The exact cause of her death remains a subject of debate. Some claim that her refusal to eat came from her desire to express some form of solidarity toward the victims of the war.
During her lifetime, Weil was only known to relatively narrow circles; even in France, her essays were mostly read only by those interested in radical politics. Yet during the first decade after her death, Weil rapidly became famous, attracting attention throughout the West. For the 3rd quarter of the twentieth century, she was widely regarded as the most influential person in the world on new work concerning religious and spiritual matters.
Her thought has continued to be the subject of extensive scholarship across a wide range of fields. A meta study from the University of Calgary found that between 1995 and 2012 over 2,500 new scholarly works had been published about her.
Simone Weil is right; it's not the human being that must be protected, but the possibilities within him. Moreover, she says, "one doesn't enter truth without having passed through one's own annihilation, without having lived at length in a state of total and extreme humiliation."
— Albert Camus, Notebooks 1942-1951
Below are 9 of Weil's most profound and enlightened truths. I believe if we can read, understand and accept these we can propel ourselves into a more enlightened 2018. And overall, more enlightened people.
1. Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
Give absolute attention when others are speaking. Do not give half your mind, half your attention. Give it fully. Put your phone down. Really listen.
2. We must not wish for the disappearance of any of our troubles, but grace to transform them.
2018 will not be without its troubles. Do not expect for a smooth year. Expect, however, for yourself to be strong enough to handle whatever is thrown at you.
3. All sins are attempts to fill voids.
Before you lean into a bad habit, think about why you're doing it. What are you trying to quiet, fill or satisfy. Be mindful of why you are doing something and you may be able to avoid it.
4. We have to endure the discordance between imagination and fact. It is better to say, 'I am suffering,' than to say, 'This landscape is ugly.'
Realize when you are suffering and refuse to take it out on those around you. Realize that most things are internal and not external. Nothing can hurt you except your own mind. Refuse to let the outside world be inflicted by your inner turmoil.
5. Never react to an evil in such a way as to augment it.
Do not respond to situations that are causing you harm. Learn to control your reactions. Adding your reaction will only increase the situation and cause you more turmoil. When someone says or does something to you, learn to let it be. Do not give them the satisfaction of your reaction.
6. Simone Weil said it is impossible for us to forgive anyone who does us harm if we are degraded by it; so we must think the harm has not degraded us, but has revealed some true level.
This is also true when we humiliate and harm ourselves. If we are to forgive ourselves, we must somehow understand the experience as a realization or revelation. One of the pleasures of a masochistic experience can be that it leads to the satisfaction of reaching a true level, of finding deep and low-down truths about oneself.
— Lyn Cowan, Masochism: A Jungian View
7. A beautiful woman looking at her image in the mirror may very well believe the image is herself. An ugly woman knows it is not.
Refuse to rely on your looks. Refuse to believe they are important. Refuse to believe that you are defined by this outer shell. You are soul — your body is nothing but a vessel. We will all wither and age and wrinkle. Do not rely on your outer shell to represent you.
8. We must force this insatiable desire within us, which is always oriented towards outward things and has its domain in an imaginary future, to close in on itself and bring its main thrust round to the present.
Realize when you are projecting yourself into future situations. Pay attention to your wandering mind. Ground yourself and teach yourself to stay in the present. Do not let your mind create false situations based on irrelevant future situations.
"If we behold ourselves at a particular instant – the present instant, severed from the past and the future – we are innocent. We cannot be at this instant anything other than what we are; all progress implies a duration. It forms part of the order of the world, at this instant, that we should be such as we are. All problems come back to the question of time."
9. But by uprooting oneself, one seeks greater reality.
Have the courage to leave your comfort zone. Have the courage to embrace change — even if you didn't ask for it. Have the courage to change the situation so that you may experience new ones.

( R.C.A.) René Richard (1895 – 1982)
René Richard's artistic style interlaces close natural observation, and personal experience
as a way to poeticize his sensibility towards the land.
During his long trips up North in pursuit of solitude, Richard was never one to fully reject civilization nor effusively embrace wilderness. It was the state of in-between that Richard felt most comfortable, a state which allowed him the space for contemplation and the freedom to create. Richard would paint lively, colorful landscapes that danced between figurative and abstract, calling upon sensation rather than imitation.
Richard was a Swiss-born Canadian painter who settled in Canada with his family in 1909. Determined to learn the art and technique of painting, he took his first formal art lesson in Edmonton, Alberta. No soon after did he leave in 1927 to study full time in Paris, France.
During his time at school, he met a friend and soon to be painting companion Clarence Gagnon who encouraged him to work as an artist full-time. This leap of faith was not taken lightly by the young and enthusiastic Richard, who returned to Canada with a fresh perspective and an unstoppable desire to paint. Richard headed North once he arrived on Canadian soil, gathering inspiration from the landscape of Baie-Saint-Paul. During his trips hunting and trapping, he would create hundreds of sketches depicting the long wilderness journeys he had undergone.
It was Gagnon who first introduced Richard to painting En Plein Air, a concept and practice he had never once considered. Living outside in the most extreme conditions, made survival difficult and even more so to sketch. It was his will to create, and his perseverance to outlive the harsh conditions that translated an immense authenticity to each canvas.
Like most environmental artists, and poets who took a vow of solitude and headed north, each were in search of something. For Richard, it wasn't an idyllic wilderness that sought to hide all human trace like many landscape painters of his time. Instead, he wanted to include his own experience with the Inuit, and First Nation people who lived in the North country. Homes, sled dogs, and ambiguous figures permeated the dense wilderness that he materialized through pencil and paint.
Known for his semi-abstract landscapes characterized by his rich impasto technique and deep, luscious palate, Richard captured the Quebec region of Charlevoix with more sensuality than any of his predecessors.

This first chapter deals with one of the most basic principles of motion, which happens to be known as Newton's first law. Not coincidentally, it has something to do with Isaac Newton. It's a nice law to start out with because it doesn't require any math and, after all, it is the first law. This chapter is also your first step toward understanding what science knowledge you need to plan a trip to the moon. Also included in the free offering from NSTA Press is the book's Table of Contents and Preface.
This is a great book to enhance content knowledge. It is presented in such a way that makes it easy to convey to students. The examples are very simple, every day concepts that anyone can relate to.

Here we have for tonight is a fan made short film about Dalek Caan.
Delving into Dalek Caan's timeline, this seems to take place from just about right after Daleks in Manhattan up to The Stolen Earth. It nicely postulates how some things might have occurred. And since there isn't really any other officially aired material covering the who's & what's whens in it besides the cracks that I know of, for me I'll personally take it and mentally add it to canon. Now that I think about it rewatching this post Into the Dalek, it does add another mental note to think about when it comes to contemplating Rusty and Dalek Oswin.
Fair warning, it is pretty much 99% ring-modulated Dalek talk if you find it grating.

Comedy Central announces the "Donald Trump Roast"
An unreliable source has indicated that Donald "Trumporleone" Trump has agreed in principle to an offer from Comedy Central to appear at an upcoming "Donald Trump Roast."
Over the strenuous objections of The Don, Bill Maher will be hosting the roast.
After some intense negotiating between The Don and producers of the Roast, the following Bakers Dozen have been approved to be members of the roasting team.
James Comey
Robert Di Niro
Hillary Clinton
David Letterman
Rosie O'Donnell
Stephen Colbert
Vladimir Putin
Nancy Pelosi
Amy Schumer
Lawrence O'Donnell
Louis C.K.
Susan Sarandon
In addition to reluctantly approving the above-mentioned roasters, The Don demanded that he receive 85% of all profits generated from the televising of the Trump Roast.
However, to prove he's one of America's greatest Philanthropists he has agreed to donate 50% of the profits he receives to the NAAWP (Nat'l Assn for the Advancement of White People) and the other half to the Jerry Falwell Ministries.

AVP9 is an older version, so upgrading is another possible option.
Kaspersky SOS 22.214.171.124 issue
Knight Captain replied to Judah's topic in Kaspersky Small Office SecurityTechnical Support would most likely require a Complete Memory Dump of your system should it happen again.
Try to remove Hotspot Shield 2.02 and reboot. If that works, you might be able to reinstall Hotspot Shield 2.02 and add it to Trusted Application Exclusions with Do Not Monitor Network Traffic enabled.
Changing the priority to a higher level won't provide additional protection. If you are worried about performance, try changing the Settings for Compatibility to enable "Concede resources to other applications."
All 5 of the Kaspersky drivers for 2011 are installed, so maybe this is due to: 1) Previous version of Kaspersky? Was it removed/rebooted before installing 2011? 2) Unknown network adapter in Device Manager? Good luck in Iran with all that.
The 960MB is your RAM, so you have a decent amount. I'd suggest staying with 2010 for now, renew and put in the new code, then get 2012 whenever that comes out (since it is a free upgrade with a valid license).
I believe the Barclays ones are subscription-types. So if you leave them, they can cancel the Kaspersky you have.
You have thousands of errors in your Event Log for the Apple Bonjour Service. Is updating faster in Safe Mode with Networking?
If there are no other Kaspersky products installed, then go into your registry and remove these folders: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab *** Do this at your own risk. If you're not comfortable making a System Restore Point and then trying it, don't! ***
"The MagicTuneEngine service terminated unexpectedly" appears a bunch of times as well as CD ROM drive errors. Is the MagicTune software listed as Trusted in your Application Control?
No problems here with FB and .556.
I'm not sure what Dcc32.exe SpeedFix is, but it seems to be replacing many of Windows security with its own files. And you don't have any Service Packs for Vista, so most likely your issues are due to using a possibly illegal version of Vista.
Can you zip and upload the Install log to here or a free file-sharing service? Also, a GSI link would be helpful.

The Voltera V-One dispenses conductive ink and solder paste onto FR4, but really... you can use it for whatever you want.
Lead time
Of iterations
Board cost
On your desktop and on your schedule, the Voltera V-One gets you from prototype to production faster than ever before.
The ink cartridge is installed in the dispenser, and the dispenser is mounted on the V-One. All of our attachments are magnetically mounted, so you do not need any special tools to swap them.
During a print, the dispenser gear will rotate to apply and relieve pressure to accurately control the ink flow. With the click of a few buttons you can be printing 8 mil (200 micron) traces, but don't worry the software will guide you every step of the way.
This high precision probe was developed from the ground up and creates a height map of your substrate. The V-One takes the map into account and makes micro adjustments to ensure a constant printing height of 100 microns.
Since we do not need the substrate to be conductive, we can dispense on rigid materials like FR4, glass and ceramics, along with flexible substrates like Kapton (Polyimide).
The V-One comes with all the accessories and consumables you need to start building hardware faster.

Blog Post#3: Between Identity and Alienation
"Human is alienating because it imposes a false representation on on existence. True alienation happens when… we think of the human as static, in the sense of having a particular fixed state or fixed belonging and characteristic". – James William
What is the first image that pops in your head when you hear the word "Muslim"?
Is it a 'desi'/ 'arab' man/ woman? If it's a woman, is she wearing a hijab (headscarf)? If it's a man, does he have a long beard? Is he wearing a taqiyah (Prayer skull cap)?
For a majority of America population, a similar image comes to mind when said the word "Muslim" and understandably so given the rise, expansion and dominance of Islam in the rest of the world. However, this association of Islam with the East marginalizes a significant proportion of the Muslim population, that is in numerous way, indigenize
Black Muslims are, in a sense, the pioneers of Islam in the United States. Long before, the Arab and South Asian immigration, this group of muslim converts, oppressed by the shackles of slavery, turned to Islam for knowledge and wisdom.
However, the past 4 decades have witnessed a rapid transformation of the demographics American society . Black muslims, now, constitute only 20% of the entire muslim community. On the other hand, black muslims form 2% of the total black American population. Since this group is a minority within each of its already minority identities, their needs, concerns and voices are often overshadowed among the fight for the individual community's rights. In times of diminished opacity and increased categorization, this group finds itself alienated from the standardized frameworks of what it is to be muslim or what it is to be black. So while the Muslims and Blacks clamor for their religious and racial identities, the group at the intersection of these identities of goes unnoticed.
However, the West-African muslim community in the South Bronx has forged kinship ties that transcend beyond biological relations that has given groups and families living in the area a place to call home. This small mosque on the corner of Alexander Avenue is a haven to a number of Muslims looking for a group to call a family, a place to call home. While the adults spend non-working hours hanging out or praying with their kin, the children spend their hours out of school learning quranic teachings. Connected through shared racial, religious and linguistic identities, these individuals come together to form self-supporting community of support and brotherhood. The goal of this organization is simply to provide its members a place to pray and seek answers to higher existential questions and a community to identify with.
The project seeks to take viewers on a multi-sensory journey through this mosque located in Mott Haven. Assuming that most of the viewers have never been to a mosque, or even if they have, they have never been a "local" mosque (as different from a grandiose, monumental one) I wish to familiarize the audience with the architectural layout, the interiors and their interactions with one another as well as the mosque's community.
In doing so, I wish to reveal and educate the "general" american public about the lives of an economically underprivileged community in South Bronx in the wake of racial tension, anti-muslim rhetoric, increasing costs of living and gentrification. The major goal is show how this small community has forged a new sort of kinship and created a self-sufficient sanctuary on this street corner, tucked away in a residential area in Mott Haven, away from the hustle-bustle of the larger society. I understand that is doing so, I might, unconsciously, romanticize and objectify their identity and their space. However, it is important to understand that such romanticization can be a necessary evil if one is trying to get an audience interested in a cause that they have no direct stakes in. Moreover, by constantly being conscious of and accounting for my biases and subjective understanding of the issue, I aim to avoid to exploitatively romanticize the community and its identity. My goal is not to be the champion of the issue. My goal, with this project is simply to bring to educate people about this subgroup within the larger muslim community which is often overlooked due to the collision of their dual minority identities and alienated due to their divergence from the standard framework of their racial/ religious identities.

The story of a small West Virginia family starting their back to the land journey in the house on the hill

First winter market of 2012
One of the things that I adore about the local food movement is the number of Farmers Markets. We are weekly visitors of the Bridgeport Farmers Market during the summer and I love that they also put on winter markets. There are a lot of local farmers who utilize greenhouses and hoop houses, so it is not unheard of and quite common, actually, to be able to get salad greens and other root vegetables all the way through the winter.
Today, we were able to get tomatoes and basil, which we used to make sauce for lasagna. We also got beef stew meat, Italian sausage, lamb stew meat, and picked up our turkey for Thanksgiving. We got a 20 pound turkey - we are having Dan's family in from Georgia, so we are looking forward to enjoying the bird!
We also got some things for our pantry. I picked up some bloody butcher cornmeal, Jacob's Cattle beans, and dried shiitake mushrooms. Liz, from Hawthorne Valley Farms, said that the bloody butcher cornmeal is a bit sweeter than regular yellow cornmeal. I want to try to make it with some cheese for Kole. The Jacob's Cattle beans are an heirloom variety and I'm anxious to use them in a baked bean dish. She gave us a recipe for "apple cider beans", which sounds quite delicious. And lastly, we got some dried shiitake mushrooms. They are really good in soup and we enjoyed them last winter with our CSA. These pantry items make me feel better about going into winter as well!
Tomorrow is our first delivery for our winter CSA - I'll post pictures tomorrow!! :-)

I suppose his standing in class at Annapolis should have been the tip off. Almost dead last in a class of nearly 900 graduates, you can't expect him to have too much intellectual horsepower. Still he presents himself as a man who is sure of his convictions, a man who is unafraid of risks, a man who will go where no man has gone before, and then he changes his mind – all the time. I mean, really, does anyone actually know what John McCain stands for? Other than making the wealthy people of this country even more wealthy, is there anything else? Anything at all? OK, I suppose a few examples are in order just to make my point.
Let's take financial regulation. During his long career in the U.S. Senate, McCain has consistently supported deregulation of just about everything on Wall Street. His financial hero and adviser is Phil Gramm who introduced legislation that successfully repealed the financial protections that had been created, during the Great Depression, to protect us from the shenanigans of the big Wall Street banks . Now that our economy is collapsing, due to the Republican-created, elimination of regulations for Wall Street, John McCain is complaining that there isn't enough regulation and is calling for "tougher rules on Wall Street"!
Let's talk about Iraq for a minute. Remember the whole issue about having a timetable to withdraw from Iraq? Remember when he said he was willing to stay in Iraq for 100 years? Then Barack Obama came up with a plan for withdrawal in sixteen months. Remember that? After Iraq officials said they wanted to do something like what Obama was saying, McCain said it sounded like a "pretty good timetable".
Long ago, John McCain supported the moratorium on offshore drilling. Almost everyone did because everyone knew that enormous damage had been done to our environment by previous oil spills and that the potential reward for offshore drilling was not worth the potential risk. Then as soon as oil prices go up, he completely changes his tune. Now his mantra is DRILL NOW! (I'm not 100% sure about this. I haven't actually heard him say it in the last few days, so it could be that he's now against drilling.)
There is a long list of McCain's breathtaking reversals on just about any topic you can imagine at the Carpetbagger Report . It's pretty depressing because it indicates that he doesn't have any clear idea of where he is going, and he doesn't have any identifiable guiding philosophy in his life. He claims he is a maverick because nobody can count on his allegiance. I guess that's not too surprising, but I think a more accurate term (and maybe a more nautical one that his buddies in the Navy are more familiar with) is "loose cannon".
Putting aside, for the moment, that he has tried to co-opt Barack Obama's slogan of "Change", recall his slogan of only a few weeks ago, during the Republican Party convention. That slogan "du jour" apparently was "Country First". Not a bad slogan, I guess. It certainly sounds patriotic and makes us think that the most important thing for McCain is his country. Right? OK, well, then he goes and chooses Sarah Palin as his running mate. I don't think there is any need for me to go into the almost limitless number of reasons why this is a really, really, bad decision, but let me just discuss one. What if McCain were elected and, heaven forbid, he died in office a week later. It could happen – William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the U.S., became ill after giving his inauguration speech and died a month later. That's why we have Vice Presidents. They are there, primarily, in case something happens to the President. So can you imagine Sarah Palin becoming President of the U.S. in February 2009? She would be President for the next four years. Seriously, is that "Country First"?
Just how much does McCain actually care about America to be so utterly irresponsible as to put Sarah Palin in such a position. That decision may be a lot of things, but it is certainly not "Country First". There are so many reasons that Sarah would be a disaster as President, but they are all summed up in the brilliant Saturday Night Live parody . I suppose almost everyone has seen it, but if you are the one who hasn't, take a look at it, you'll see what I mean. What else could I possibly say to prove my point about Sarah?
But this election is not about Sarah, it's about a choice between John McCain and Barack Obama. This is a time when our country's economy is being challenged by an economic meltdown that compares only to the meltdown that preceded the Great Depression, and John McCain has already admitted that he "doesn't really understand economics". This is a time when we face significant challenges in the Middle East, and yet, a couple of weeks ago hot-headed McCain goes looking for trouble with Russia saying "We are all Georgians." I'm not a Georgian, and I don't want to be. I don't care what happens between the Georgians and the South Ossetians, do you? Let them settle their own problems. What is this man thinking? And that is my point. John McCain is an intellectual lightweight. He has, time and again, adopted any position on any subject for any reason at any moment.
Far from having built his foundation on a rock, he stands on shifting sands, loyal to no one, undependable for more that a moment at a time, mercurial in his alliances, and, in the end, nothing more than a falling leaf, blowing in the wind.

Want to get the most out of your exercise routine? Research says that the answer may lie in not just what you do for exercise but who you exercise with. Check out these six smart reasons to find a workout buddy today:
More Accountability
It may be easy to find excuses to ditch your daily walk or skip your yoga class when it's just you worrying about yourself, but it's going to be harder to continually flake on a friend who is counting on you to join them. There is strength in numbers, even when it comes down to something as simple as getting regular exercise.
Healthy Influences
Research shows that your own diet and exercise habits are largely influenced by the people with whom you surround yourself including your spouse, family, co-workers, friends, you name it. If you want to lose weight and improve your health, making exercise a routine thing with a reliable partner with similar goals will have a more powerful effect than you might expect.
New Activities to Try
If you have been aching to try a sport that requires two or more players, this is your chance. A fitness buddy may be just the ticket to finally trying out racquet sports like squash, pickleball or badminton! How about water-based activities like paddleboarding, canoeing or kayaking? Even strength-training activities like lifting weights or using resistance bands can be enhanced with the help of a partner.
Increased Safety
If a fear of injury keeps you from trying more adventurous activities, having the presence and support of another person could help you overcome it. It's natural to feel a little less sure-footed as you get older, especially when you're attempting more challenging feats like rock climbing or long-distance hiking. An exercise companion can provide peace of mind and in the rare event of an injury, like a sprained wrist, they can provide physical assistance and quickly get help.
Social Interaction
When it comes to health and longevity, few things play as significant a role for older adults as diet, exercise, fall prevention, and combating social isolation. Exercising with another person can thusly serve a dual role in enhancing both physical and mental health. Not only has social interaction been shown to improve mood and fight loneliness and depression, but it has also been linked to a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's and dementia.
Get More Exercise
A 2016 study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology found that a new exercise partner actually increases the amount of exercise a person does. While the instrumental support of a companion was beneficial to people completing an exercise routine, researchers found out that it was the emotional support of a workout buddy that had the most effect on increased exercise frequency and duration.
Tips for Finding an Exercise Companion
If you simply don't know where to look for a fitness partner with whom you'll enjoy spending time and reap the benefits of buddying up, try these tips:
- Think about your location. Is there a nice friend, family member, or neighbour close by with whom it would be easy to get together? Convenience can play a big role in keeping you on track.
- Put out the call. The perfect person might not come to mind at first when you start your search so put out the call on your social media accounts, via email, and even at work. You never know who might come out of the woodwork.
- Look online. If you are simply without viable options in your own social circles, it's worth looking online to see if there are local groups that meet up to do things you are interested in, i.e. walking clubs, cycling leagues, etc.
- Ask around class. If you already take a fitness class like yoga or Zumba, think about asking a friend from class. They are already committed to regular exercise – perhaps they would be game to try some additional fitness adventures with you?
- Ask your spouse. It might seem like overkill, especially if you spend most of the day with your spouse, but working out with your husband or wife could have profound positive effects on your relationship and bonding.
A growing body of evidence has also shown that when people work out with a group of friends or their spouse, they are more likely to hit their weight loss goals and less likely to quit. So what are you waiting for?

Time to donate — 2015
Now that the 2015 World Series is over, it's time to send your donations to Pitch In For Baseball. I ended up snagging eight game home run balls this season, and I've already done the math for you. Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how much you owe — and get ready to win some prizes. As I mentioned in this blog entry before the season, I'm going to be giving away a bunch of baseball-related collectibles:
1) a baseball signed by Willie Mays (pictured on the right)
2) three baseball cards signed by Kent Hrbek, Rick Cerone, and Dave Stieb
3) a Mickey Mantle ball with an image of his 1952 Topps rookie card
4) a Bernie Williams ball with his image and the Yankees logo
5) a Curtis Granderson bobblehead
6) signed copies of The San Francisco Splash and The Wrigley Riddle
7) a signed copy of Man Versus Ball
8) two Mets prints
9) three Mets t-shirts
10) a Mark McGwire rookie card
Make sure that Pitch In For Baseball receives your money before December 7th — a little more than a month from today. That's when I'm going to conduct the drawing, and remember that the more you donate, the more chances you'll have to win something. (For every dollar that you donate per home run ball that I snagged this season, your name will be thrown into the hat, so in other words, if you donate $8.00 to the charity, your name will be in there once. If you donate $40.00 — the equivalent of five dollars per homer — your name will be there five times, so you'll be five times more likely to be chosen. The first person whose name is drawn will have the first choice of which prize to receive. That person will then be ineligible to win anything else, so there will be ten different winners. The second person whose name is chosen will get to choose one of the remaining nine prizes, and so on.)
There are two ways to pay:
Mail a check, payable to Pitch In For Baseball, to the following address:
Pitch In For Baseball
c/o Zack Hample
1541 Gehman Road
Harleysville, PA 19438
FYI: The reason for writing "c/o Zack Hample" is to inform the folks at Pitch In For Baseball that you're one of my donors. This will help them keep track of the all the money I'm raising for them.
Pay with your credit card by following these steps:
1) Visiting my fundraising page.
2) Scroll to the bottom.
3) Look for the red banner that says "Make a contribution."
4) Click the "Other" option at the bottom of the box.
5) Type in the amount of your donation.
6) Click the "Continue" button down below and following the remaining steps.
Thanks so much! I love being able to use my collection to raise money (and awareness) for this charity, and obviously I couldn't do it without your help.

The suspect in a Hewitt Drive bank robbery Tuesday fired a shotgun at least four times at close range into the windshield of a Hewitt officer who was pursuing him, Hewitt Police Chief Jim Devlin said Wednesday as more details of the incident emerged.
Dallas Scott Bohanan, 25, of Waco, remains in McLennan County Jail on felony charges of aggravated assault of a police officer and evading arrest. Officials added a federal aggravated bank robbery charge Wednesday, meaning Bohanan is now being held without bond. Meanwhile, the police officer, Clint Brandon, is on medical leave from the department because of an injury from the shooting, Devlin said.
Police said Brandon arrived at the scene of the ongoing robbery at the PointWest Bank, 420 N. Hewitt Drive, at about 9 a.m. Tuesday and saw the suspect exiting the bank. Bohanan was carrying an undisclosed amount of cash and a long gun, Devlin said.
When Brandon ordered Bohanan to show the officer his hands, Bohanan fired at least one shot at Brandon. The officer took cover, and the two exchanged gunfire, Devlin said.
Bohanan got into a pickup truck parked near the entrance to the bank and fled.
In the 100 block of North Hewitt Drive, Bohanan is believed to have noticed Brandon in pursuit with his patrol car's emergency lights flashing. Devlin said the suspect stopped his car, stepped into the roadway and fired the shotgun at least four times at Brandon's patrol car, piercing the windshield in several places.
Bohanan was 18 to 20 feet away from Brandon's patrol car when exited his pickup and the shooting started. As the shots rang out, Brandon threw his car into reverse and tried to put more distance between himself and the shooter, Devlin said.
Shotgun pellets struck Brandon's patrol car and shattered out the back window.
Pellets also hit the patrol car's light bar, dash camera and caused other damage to the car. After the shooting, Devlin said Bohanan returned to his truck and continued to evade officers.
Additional officers took over the pursuit near Bagby Avenue and Corporation Parkway. A detective took Brandon to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center for medical treatment, Devlin said.
Bohanan drove to a Waco neighborhood and crashed his pickup truck near Garden Drive and Wingate drives, police said. He ran into a yard in the 3300 block of Clover Leaf Drive, where he was later captured by Waco police.
Hewitt officers worked with troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety and Waco, Woodway and several other police agencies to process about five crime scenes along the six-mile pursuit route. Devlin said the FBI will investigate the bank robbery while local officers will investigate the other crime scenes.
Waco police investigated a hit-and-run crash near New Road, where Bohanan is believed to have struck a private vehicle during the pursuit. Officers said no one was injured in the hit-and-run crash.
Medical leave
Brandon remained on medical leave Wednesday after sustaining injuries during the incident. Devlin said after he is medically cleared, he will be placed on administrative leave with pay pending an officer-involved shooting investigation conducted by the Texas Rangers, per department policy.
Devlin said Brandon will likely remain on administrative leave until the Rangers submit their findings for review to a McLennan County grand jury. He said he was proud of all his officers and thankful for the assistance from partner agencies.
Bohanan was arrested on a first-degree felony aggravated assault of a public servant with a deadly weapon and third-degree felony charge of evading. A federal bank robbery charge was added Wednesday. He remained in custody at McLennan County Jail on a no-bond hold.

Matrimony is part of God's order of creation. God created man and woman into a reciprocal, equal, and life-sustaining relationship. Matrimony is not only part of the order of things decreed by God, but He has also promised to bless marriage. Under this blessing each marriage aims to accomplish the task of fostering mutual attachment. Marriage makes it possible to experience the abundant gifts of life, the joy brought by children, and the miracle of growth.
As believing spouses we experience spiritual fellowship and wish to travel in accordance with our calling. We believe that God's love effects in us a spiritual desire to cherish things that are good, but being human, we still feel incapable and powerless at various stages of our life.
Next to your heart
Each human being, while a tiny embryo already known by God, rests against its mother's heart for some time. After birth, the miracle of creation, the baby is protected by its mother's arms in its early infancy. We were all born into a reciprocal relationship where our mother responded to our needs when we were hungry, cold, tired, or in pain.
We all feel the need for close human relationships in the same way we did as a small child who wanted to be picked up by its mother. This is an innate need in human beings. We need someone to share our life experiences. In a good marital relationship the spouse can give us a feeling of intimacy and companionship. There is a bond that carries us in life and makes us feel valuable, important, and loved.
The great mystery
The connection between Christ and His congregation is compared to the marital relationship between man and woman: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church." (Eph. 5:31–32) Marriage gives us a possibility to learn about the ultimate will of God: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27)
When we marry, we form an alliance with another person. We make a big commitment and a big promise. Based on the way they were created, human beings have an inherent need for that. The promise to enter this alliance and the desire to become one flesh is publicly confirmed and blessed in the marriage ceremony. We promise to love each other until death parts us. While living our life with our spouse, obliging and obedient to him or her, we can reflect the image of God and be a tool of love. Yet marriage is not based on a loving feeling alone. It is a promise based on conscious volition.
One flesh
Paul taught like this: " In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. – – Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." (Eph. 5:28–29, 31.)
We believe that the marital relationship between man and woman is based on equality. Christ is the head of both husband and wife. We should aspire toward spiritual, intellectual, and physical unity. This requires us to be obedient to God's word and also to be willingly obedient to our spouse. The goal of becoming one flesh requires interaction at different levels. It requires words, language, ears, senses, desire to listen and to hear, willingness to verbalize ourselves. It is a highly complex matter.
Peter instructed spouses like this:" Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good -- Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life." (1 Pet. 3:6–7.)
Two portions
For the spouses to be able to live as one flesh, they need to love each other like they love themselves. They also need respect, obedience, trust, and openness. It is important that both can freely express their opinions, needs, and feelings. Life with our spouse should be so secure that we can express even the emotions that we find difficult, such as sorrow, fear, and anger. To solve conflicts, we need to apologize and to forgive. When we believe the gospel, we experience the grace of a fresh start, which empowers us to discuss and weigh up the problem until both spouses feel themselves free in the truth.
Disagreements between spouses may sometimes result in imminent or actual psychological or physical violence. Jealousy, anxiety, feelings of loneliness, and depression may indicate that the spouses have not had enough opportunities to discuss and explore things together. A decision to seek help from other believers or professionals shows that the person is obedient to God's word and committed to caring for themselves and their spouse.
When both spouses are willing to work for a better marital relationship, things may improve even in seemingly complicated situations. The natural life course of a marital relationship consists of different stages. To reach true marital companionship, the spouses may need to travel a rocky path. Such companionship consists of true and appreciative fellowship, obedience, trust, and openness.
Beautiful words are like lovely flowers on a field. Positive interaction today makes for a better tomorrow. This is also reflected in the biblical instruction of the fruits of the Spirit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." (Gal. 5:22–23).

Whole lotta work going on
Lots going on today on the Camaro. Wiring, Fat Mat sound deadening material, and the engine and transmission getting installed today. While I was wiring the rear of the car, Chris started installing the Fat Mat. This product turns a hollow tin can sound into a super quiet thud when the doors are shut. We put this product everywhere we could. The roof, floors, rear package tray, inside firewall, even on the inside and underside of the dash. Even with a big block this car should be quiet as a mouse inside. When the doors close, the sound will resemble a new car.
I have all the wiring done on the back of the car now. Tail lights, back up lights, fuel gauge wire were all buttoned up today.
The controls for the heat and A/C have to be converted over to electronic to work with the Vintage air system. I had to completely disassemble the original controls. Then I cleaned it up and painted the arms that the knobs go on.
Somewhere in the middle of all this work, the owner came by with a truck load of goodies, including the engine. Here you see Chase muscling the big block 396 ci motor into place.
Here you see the electronic slides that control the Vintage air unit. Wires will connect to these and plug into the unit. Once I got it all back together, every moving part was lubed for smooth operation.

As in the old version, you will still collect a series of unique weapons. You can also hire new drivers, assemble a garage full of cars and race to the top of the League.
In the racing adventure, you will encounter many difficulties and obstacles that will hinder your speed of travel such as palm trees, giant crabs or giant fire flames. Gradually, you will encounter more frequent obstacles at the same time but the rewards will also be worthier. Another task in your race is to collect coins along the path that can be used to buy and upgrade cars, power-ups, characters, and other add-ons that can be added to the car. At present, there are more than 45 Powerups to explore and upgrade, BBR2 adds a layer of strategic depth to the classic kart racing formula.
