Sermon delivered on Lent 1C, Sunday, March 10, 2019 at St. Augustine's Anglican Church, Westerville, OH.
Due to technical difficulties, there is no audio podcast for today's sermon.
Lectionary texts: Deuteronomy 26.1-11; Psalm 91.1-2, 9-16; Romans 10.8b-13; Luke 4.1-13.
In the name of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Today is the first Sunday of Lent and our assigned gospel lesson always deals with the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness. If you saw the title of this sermon and wondered if I were going to have us sing some good old Motown music in the name of Jesus (apologies to those of you too young to remember or even know about the Temptations), you will be sadly disappointed. I'm not. Rather I want us to reflect seriously this morning on what it takes to observe a truly holy Lent (and beyond).
The way to observe a truly holy Lent is to start with Jesus and this leads us to our gospel lesson this morning. We note that just before today's lesson on our Lord's temptations, St. Luke has given us another one of those strange genealogies that are interspersed throughout the OT (Luke 3.23-38). In this particular genealogy, by its arrangement he tells us that Jesus is the Son of God who is descended from Adam, our first human ancestor. In arranging his material this way, the evangelist surely wants us to see that where our first ancestors failed when tempted by Satan, thereby allowing Evil and Sin to enter and corrupt God's good creation and creatures, our Lord succeeded in resisting Satan's wiles; the tide is turning. Evil has met its match.
Put another way, St. Luke does not want us to separate the cross of Jesus Christ, which signaled the defeat of Evil, from his initial temptations because it is in the wilderness that our Lord begins to successfully engage the power of Evil to defeat and ultimately destroy it when God's new creation comes in full. The challenge for us is to recognize what Jesus does as success instead of failure. While that is easy to do when we read about Christ's exorcisms and healings of possessed and sick people, possession and sickness being two manifestations of the power of Evil, it is less intuitive for us to look at Christ's passion and death and see the Victory won over Evil by the Son of God. Our Lord's victory over Satan in the wilderness matters because we too are subjected to the devil and his minions' power, i.e., Evil, every day of our lives the same way he was. Take a look around you. Look at the increasing vitriol and polarization in politics and on social media. Every day we are bombarded with all kinds of bad news from murder to abuse to addiction to you name it, and it wears us out. Much of this happens because we give in to the temptations our Lord resisted. If we are ever to have any real hope of rescue from Evil, we need to know from where our help comes (more about that in a bit).
Before we look at what else St. Luke has to tell us in our lesson, we need to say a word about the devil. In our day and age with all its "sophistication" and other forms of human-invented baloney, it can be pretty dangerous for us as Christians to acknowledge we believe in the existence of Satan and his minions (the dark powers and principalities). We're liable to be mocked as fundies for starters and it will go downhill from there. While we should not look for Satan under every rock, if you are one of those poor souls who steadfastly refuses to believe in the devil, you are to be pitied, because Evil is real and it's personal, and your refusal to believe in the reality of Evil personified as the devil assures that you will ultimately succumb to his power and he will eventually destroy you because of your delusions. If you are one of those folks, I would humbly suggest that the starting point for you to observe a holy Lent is to repent of your foolishness and acknowledge the terrifying reality of Evil in this world and our lives.
Having dispensed with the background info needed for us to look at our Lord's wilderness temptations, it is time to look at each temptation to see what St. Luke is inviting us to learn. We begin by noting that faithfulness to God does not always involve taking the easiest road; in fact, it usually is quite the opposite. The devil and his minions will come after us with a vengeance as they do not want us to live godly lives. The only way for us not to be overcome by Evil, and our only hope to be healed and made whole by the love of God, is for us to have the Holy Spirit living in us, just like Jesus had in the wilderness, to give us the power to trust in God's power, not our own, and to heal us one inch at a time.
We see this issue emerge in the first temptation because it questions God's care and provision for us. Satan's declaration to Jesus, "If you are the Son of God…," which assumes he is, subtly appeals to Jesus to use his power to end his famished state. We all get this because most of the time when we are in dire straights we frantically try to meet our own needs. We plot, devise schemes, threaten, bully, etc., to make sure we get what we think we need. The assumption behind our behavior, of course, is that God is either incapable or unwilling to provide for us, which makes our good words about God look like a farce. What good Father will let his children go in need? So here Satan tempts Jesus by appealing to him to act to provide for himself rather than relying on God. Jesus responds by telling Satan that humans don't live by bread alone. Here our Lord demonstrates his understanding that our well-being depends on much more than us being well-fed. If we do not stop trying to be God, no matter how well- fed we are, we will still be desperately broken, lonely, alienated, and under God's terrible judgment.
In the second temptation, we see Satan inviting Jesus to engage in false worship by appealing to the natural human tendency to grab power to achieve our selfish needs and ends. Here we see how Satan's half-lies work. Satan tells our Lord that the kingdoms of the world have been given to him to give to anyone he pleases. We look around at the wreckage of human leadership from Hitler to Pol Pot to Stalin and other mass murderers and we are tempted to believe Satan is telling the truth. But it's a half-lie because only God is sovereign over the nations and only God does with nations what God is gonna do with them, not the devil. The latter has power only to the extent God allows, mysterious and enigmatic as that is for us to contemplate. The point here, though, is for Jesus to worship the means of the world like we do: power, coercion, force, brutality, threats, tyranny, injustice, corruption (and the Evil behind them), to name just a few, to achieve his calling as Lord of the world. But Christ would have none of it. He would become Lord and Savior of the world by obeying God and going to the cross to defeat the power of Evil and our slavery to Sin. If you don't get this point, you'll never get Jesus at all.
The third temptation is similar to the first one. Here the devil seems to be saying to Jesus, before you begin your work as God's Son and Messiah, you'd better make sure God will take care of you by clearing the way to protect you. Right. The way of the Son is the way of the cross. In his death we find life and freedom, forgiveness and health. We see this temptation echoed at Calvary when the mocking bystanders challenged Christ to come down from the cross to save himself. As St. Luke subtly reminds us, although beaten in this first round, the devil would continue to show up to tempt Jesus all the way to the cross. In defeating the devil by not succumbing to these temptations, our Lord shows us that while he is fully God, he is also fully human. Each one of us has been tempted likewise and each of us has failed. This realization reminds us that contrary to popular belief, Jesus didn't just waltz through life with no afflictions because he was and is the Son of God. Instead, this reminds us that our Lord probably experienced afflictions with temptations to a degree none of us could ever really imagine.
And now we are ready to get to the point of how to keep a holy Lent. If you are expecting me to say that if you want to observe a holy Lent, do like Jesus did, you are going to be disappointed even more with this sermon than you already are because I am not going to tell you that. I have learned over the years that it really is quite unsporting of preachers to tell their peeps to do something that is impossible for them to do. The gospels don't tell us the story of our Lord's wilderness temptations so that we can copy him and find his success. While it is always good to copy our Lord, we will not be able to do what he did. If we were able to overcome temptations as he did, Christ would not have had to die for us as Paul reminds us in our epistle lesson. Jesus is our Savior precisely because he accomplished what we could never do, even on our best, holiest days, and if you don't really believe that, you'll never have a holy Lent, no matter what stuff you give up and other disciplines you establish. So we shouldn't read this story with the delusional thinking that we can successfully imitate our Lord and resist every temptation that afflicts us the way he did. We can't. We are too corrupt, too sick, too power hungry, too selfish, too hostile and alienated from God and each other for that to happen. In other words, we are too infected by the power of Sin to fix ourselves. So trying to observe a holy Lent by doing like Jesus did to overcome temptation is an exercise in futility. Don't misunderstand. I am not suggesting we should shrug our shoulders, give up, and wallow in our slavery to Sin. Doing so would be celebrating our eternal damnation and that's never a smart thing for us to do. Nor am I suggesting we shouldn't try to imitate Jesus. We absolutely should, always relying on the power of the Spirit. Just don't expect to achieve the results Christ did! Neither should you hear me telling you that because of all our hopeless brokenness you are beyond hope and such a wretch that you are beyond salvation and cannot become Christlike in your behavior. While we all are wretches, none of us is without hope because it has pleased God to rescue us by sending his Son to die on our behalf so that when God sees us, he sees a five star beloved child in a five star evaluation system, despite our sins and wickedness. He sees us this way because we are washed clean by the blood of the Lamb, who died for us to break our slavery to Sin, albeit incompletely in this mortal life. So let's stop kidding ourselves about our ability to overcome the power of Sin. None of us can on our own and that's the point.
The place to start in observing a holy Lent is on our knees at the foot of the cross, lamenting that we helped nail Christ to it but also, and equally important, to rejoice and give thanks to God for his great and undeserved love for us made known in Christ Jesus. When by God's grace we realize that we are so hopelessly broken and beyond rescue except by the love and mercy of God the Father made known in the death and resurrection of God the Son and affirmed in our hearts and minds by God the Holy Spirit, we must have a heart bursting with joy, gratitude, and thanksgiving that God has rescued us forever from his right and terrible judgment on our sins and made us worthy to live with him forever starting right now. Our thanksgiving for this precious and profound gift will have at least a two-fold effect on us. First, it will lead to genuine sorrow on our part for responding to such great love so selfishly and corruptly. True thanksgiving will help motivate us to want to become more like Christ, not because we are told to or think we are supposed to, but because we want to become like our Savior who is the epitome of life. After all, if we are grateful to surgeons who by their skill have alleviated our illness, why would we not be grateful to God for rescuing us from his terrible judgment on our evil and eternal death? This, in turn, tends to help create in us generous hearts in the manner of our OT lesson, although generosity certainly isn't restricted to just giving money. It involves giving ourselves in ways that reject the systems of the world that are controlled by the dark powers, i.e., by our rejecting power and domination as a means to achieve our ends, and by having a completely different set of ends in the first place.
If you really want to observe a holy Lent (and beyond), start at the foot of the cross with a thankful heart for God the Father who loves you enough and has the power to overcome your unlovability. God rescued you in and through Christ, not because of your good deeds or because you deserve being rescued or any of that other baloney, but rather because it pleased God to do so as St. Paul pointed out in 1 Corinthians 1.18-25. Observing a holy Lent means realizing first and foremost that God is God and we are not, and to rejoice in the gift he freely offers to us. Put another way, it means learning to trust the goodness and mercy of God, not our own clever devices. May we all observe a holy Lent this year (and beyond), my beloved, because when we do, no matter how badly we observe it, we know we truly have Good News and are participating in it, now and for all eternity. We have this Good News, not because of who we are, but because who God is. To him be honor, praise, and glory forever and ever.
In the name of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Videos with lots of YouTube views seem to get more respect and carry more authority. The trick is getting them in the first place.
But recently it has become, well…less tricky.
If you're doing video and haven't been using this newer technique, you might be missing out on a surprisingly effective way to boost your rankings or those of your customers.
In short, online video advertising has come of age and you can get an enormous bang for the buck right here, right now.
It just takes some sorting out of the numbers and rules and just as important, understanding how YouTube sees them.
But once you do, you'll see some new and pretty amazing possibilities.
So watch now…and judge for yourself.

Everything is bigger in Texas.
No, Texas doesn't have the highest concentration of millionaires, but in terms of raw numbers, only California has more than the Lone Star State's 622,065 millionaire households.
Heck, Texas is so big it not only has two of the smallest towns with the most millionaires in the U.S. -- Andrews and Fredericksburg -- but it's also home to four of the cheapest U.S. cities in which to live. (Those would be Brownsville, Wichita Falls, Harlingen and McAllen.) On average, the cost of living in Texas is 8.7% lower than the U.S. average.
Texas is a place of extremes when it comes to taxes, too. There's no income tax at all. On the other hand, sales taxes run high, as do property taxes.
Fredericksburg, Texas
Millionaire households: 834
Total households: 11,682
Concentration of millionaires: 7.1%
Median income for all households: $56,267
Median home value: $269,900
It's not hard to understand the allure of Fredericksburg, since it's smack-dab in the middle of Texas Hill Country. This beautiful region of the Lone Star State has plenty to offer for both outdoorsy types and aesthetes alike. Residents can explore a landscape of rolling hills, spring-fed rivers and lakes, and vast fields of wildflowers. But they can also partake in fine dining, wine tastings, concerts and art shows.
Fredericksburg is a German town with a history of self-responsibility, religion, hard work, and charity the settlers brought with them from across the ocean to a land that allowed them freedom in all these things. The town still holds these conservative values today. The concept of "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" is why Fredericksburg has done so well.

A group of elementary school children, some with and some without disabilities, sit in a circle as their teacher speaks to them.
By DREDF (Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund)
Currently, there is a great deal of public discussion and debate around immigration. However, the legal right of an education to children residing in the U.S. is clear. In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court determined in the Plyler v. Doe decision that an undocumented school-aged child is entitled to the same free public education made available to other residents of the same school district, regardless of their immigration status. The Court determined that equal access to education is too important to deny, delay or defer. Education includes, for eligible students, special education; other supplemental educational programs for poor, English-learners, foster children, and immigrant students; and free school meals. Congress has deemed all of these programs necessary components of public education.
All publicly funded schools in the U.S must meet "Child Find" requirements, which means that schools and districts must actively look for ways to identify and refer children with disabilities for evaluation and support under important education and civil rights laws. There are many reasons why a child immigrating to the U.S., whatever the circumstances, may need evaluation for special education eligibility or protection under Section 504.
For example, many children arriving in the U.S. have witnessed or experienced extreme violence and trauma, which can cause difficulties with development, learning, attention, self-regulation, and behavior. Others may have fled their home countries because of a lack of care or inclusion for children with disabilities, and are seeking care, treatment, and opportunities in the U.S.
Others may have experienced detention in facilities without adequate care or education access, and have been separated from their parents before being placed with family or in their new community. Research of detained immigrants by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that children and parents may suffer negative physical and emotional symptoms from detention, including anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder when they are separated and/or subjected to detention.
For students with disabilities or suspected disabilities, access to evaluation and if eligible, support and services under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are a key components of how "access" to education is defined and provided in the U.S. Immigration status does not change this fundamental right to an education for a child living in the U.S., no matter how they arrived. Yet the reality remains that the barriers these students and their caregivers occasionally face can be daunting.
Although the evidence is well-established and undeniable that early intervention and access to services is essential to a child's long-term educational success, many children in detention have no access to education at all, including to the evaluation, eligibility and services required by law for all children residing here.
A recent report by Disability Rights California (DRC) found that appropriate and necessary special education services were not provided to detained children unless a child was sent to the most restrictive detention centers, despite the fact that many children in less restrictive settings are in detention for six months or more. The Child Find duty triggers important timelines far shorter than this, and children who are missed may be sent to family, into foster care or other settings without having been identified as a child with a disability with a plan for service and support in place. Such delays may have lifelong negative impacts, regardless of the outcome of any immigration proceedings.
Whether or not they are detained, immigrant children and families may also be harmed by cultural and language barriers, poverty, insecure housing/homelessness, parents who are afraid of accessing public benefits because it might jeopardize their immigration or asylum claims/status or inadequate access to healthcare that can result in educational difficulties.
Schools may create barriers when they fail to refer and evaluate a newly arrived and/or struggling student for special education or 504 eligibility or seek other academic and social/emotional supports such as counseling, tutoring, or a behavioral support because a child "needs time to adjust or learn English." Sometimes delays happen because it is assumed that the caregiver may not be supporting the child at home, or a belief that the child may not be in the school for long enough to evaluate. An educator may believe that once students learn English they will catch up to their nonimmigrant peers, yet fail to see that language learning is delayed by an underlying disability. Until a disability is identified and support/remediation provided, the child may struggle to acquire English or to benefit from their education.
It is important for families to understand that there are many important protections that may apply to these situations. For example:
- The Family Education Rights Privacy Act (FERPA) limits the information that schools can share with immigration enforcement unless a judicial warrant is issued. It also allows parents/caregivers to opt out of school directories and limit what information is shared with any outside agency with limited exceptions.
- Schools are considered protected zones by Immigration Enforcement at this time. Students should not be approached or interviewed by Immigration at school at any time.
- A child does NOT have to be residing with their parent in order to enroll in a school district where they live.
- Many children are protected under the McKinney Vento Homeless Education Act, because of the insecurity of their housing situation. Others may be protected under rights afforded to children in foster care.
- Families have a right to language interpreters in school meetings, and to ask that an IEP be translated for them so that they can understand what they are agreeing to. An IEP will follow the student to any other school, district or state/territory and a process exists to assure continuity of services. Caregivers with disabilities have the right to request reasonable accommodations in order to participate in school activities, including IEP and 504 meetings.
- Regardless of the type of health insurance (or lack of it) a person or family may have, if a service or support is necessary for a student with an IEP to access or benefit from their education as determined by the IEP team, the public school cannot require that a family use their insurance, including Medicaid, to pay for these. If an IEP team determines that a support or service is required to provide a student with a FAPE (free appropriate public education), it must be provided regardless of funding source.
Although this is a complex area of law, it is important to understand that for children with disabilities, early intervention, special education and nondiscriminatory access to education are essential elements of our national policy, and apply to all children living here.
Families and students need to know what their rights are in order to use them. For this reason, we have included a number of related key resources this month.
We encourage families, caregivers, educators and community-based organizations to review/use these to learn more about this issue. Every state and territory in the U.S. also has at least one Parent Center that can provide information, training and support in navigating the education system when a child has a disability, and can put you in touch with local agencies and community based support in your area.

Hypothermia is when the core body temperature drops to a level where normal brain and muscle function is impaired - usually at or below 35°C. When the body cannot cope, it goes into survival mode, shutting down non-essential functions. Hypothermia occurs when the body cannot make up for the amount of heat lost.
7% of outdoor recreation fatalities were caused by hypothermia– There and Back, 2016
Hypothermia can be avoided by wearing appropriate clothing and ensuring you have sufficient food and shelter.

Hayley Luckadoo + Luke Luckadoo | Jul 27, 2016
This romantic French-inspired styled shoot from Kevyn Dixon Photo featured a real life married couple at the gorgeous L'Abri at Linwood. For the shoot, they drew on the name (L'Abri is French for shelter) and the couple's sweet love story:
Hayley and Luke met their freshman year of high school. Hayley ended up telling Luke she thought he was cute and they dated… four times. It never lasted longer than two weeks and he broke up with her every time. Junior year, they were talking again but when another guy asked Hayley out she said yes, annoyed with the on and off relationship with Luke. While Luke tried to change her mind, Hayley told him "if we are meant to be together, it will work out." They didn't speak the rest of high school or college.
Five years had passed and Luke heard through the grapevine that Hayley was getting married in one month. What he didn't know was Hayley's fiancé has just left, breaking off the engagement one month before their wedding date. Facebook suggested Luke as a friend to Hayley and she added him. He accepted and sent her a message telling her congratulations on the upcoming nuptials. She ended up telling him the whole story and 45 minutes later Luke showed up with chocolate, wine and music so she wouldn't be alone. They spent the entire night reminiscing about high school and getting to know each other again. He kissed her goodnight before he left and neither one could stop thinking about each other. Luke immediately broke up with his girlfriend and asked Hayley out on a proper date. They dated for a year and three months before he proposed at their hometown drug store, where they had spent many of those first dates getting to know each other again. Exactly four months later, they got married at Pine Island Country Club and are still as crazy about each other as they were from the first day they came back into each other's lives.

Since its inception in 1917, Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) has grown from a small family owned business in the short wave radio market to one of the world's largest transformer and reactor manufacturers.
"This is undeniably a milestone to celebrate that a Canadian, family-managed company has survived and now dominates the North American dry-type transformer industry after 100 years," says Bill Hammond, Chairman and CEO of HPS. "This speaks to the diversity and capabilities that we have built over the decades with regard to our products, channels, markets, geography, and our employees."
To commemorate the occasion, HPS plans to celebrate globally by dedicating the year to honouring their employees, partners, and customers through promotions and special scheduled events. Find out more about Hammond: www.hammondpowersolutions.com/.

LIVERPOOL, N.S. - A New Brunswick-based company has begun transporting thousands of fish affected by an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia from a quarantined Nova Scotia aquaculture farm to a fish plant for processing.
Cooke Aquaculture says about 240,000 fish will be transported from its farm off Coffin Island near Liverpool, N.S., to a fish plant in Blacks Harbour, N.B., over the next month. The processing started last week, it said.
Cooke is the first company to process salmon with the disease under new protocols set out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, company spokeswoman Nell Halse said.
The federal agency said the virus does not pose a risk to human health and is safe for consumption.
"They're perfectly safe to eat," said Halse."In this case we've got fish that are market size. There's nothing wrong with them from a human health perspective.
"It's really only an issue for fish health. It's nothing to do with human health."
Halse said Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials have been at both sites over the past six months developing proper guidelines for the processing.
That includes disinfecting the fish plant and setting protocols for managing the waste water in the tanker trucks that transport the fish.
Halse said everyone involved has gone through strict training on how to handle the fish to prevent the virus from spreading.
"All of the boat captains, the truck drivers, the plant workers have all been trained to know how to handle these fish so that there's no possibility of the virus getting back out into the ocean or going to other farms."
Last spring, Cooke had to kill hundreds of thousands of salmon because of an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia in pens outside Nova Scotia's Shelburne Harbour.
Halse said those fish were killed because they were only halfway through production and too small to be marketed.
She said a different strain of the virus was detected at its Coffin Island farm last June, so the site was quarantined and the salmon were grown to full market size.
If the federal agency doesn't order the fish to be killed off, the farmer is obligated to process and market the fish, said Halse. The government compensates salmon growers in instances that a cull is ordered.

The lucky prize winner Ash Rizi with his friend Richard Watson, both from Rory's hometown of Holywood in County Down, played 18 holes alongside Rory at Royal Portrush. The winners also played at Castlerock Golf Club whilst staying and playing at Roe Park Resort. To top it off, the money-can't-buy prize also included a full set of new TaylorMade clubs.
Competition winner Ash Rizi, said: "It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to play a round with Rory, and Richard and I would like to thank GolfNow and Roe Park Resort for such an incredible prize. As golfers and fellow Holywood natives, we definitely didn't take it easy on Rory!"
The Roe Park Resort's resident PGA Professional Michael McCrudden said: "It was an amazing experience for Roe Park Resort to be part of such a unique competition. The campaign targeted golfers across the UK, shining a spotlight on the North Coast of Ireland, offering golfers the chance to win a round with Rory. With over 222,000 entries this unique opportunity captured the imagination of the avid golf fan."
"With the 2019 Open Championship hosted in Portrush, we have seen a surge in the number of people interested in taking up golf, with many developing a new-found passion for the game. To cater to this, we recently completed a major investment programme totalling £1 millon, transforming the Roe Park Resort golf course, so we hope to see even more golfers take to the green ahead of the Open next year."

Glycans are monosaccharide-based heteropolymers that are found covalently attached to many different proteins and lipids and are ubiquitously displayed on the exterior surfaces of cells. Serum glycan composition and structure are well known to be altered in many different types of cancer. In fact, glycans represent a promising but only marginally accessed source of cancer markers. The approach used in this dissertation, which is referred to as "glycan node analysis", is a molecularly bottom-up approach to plasma/serum (P/S) glycomics based on glycan linkage analysis that captures features such as α2-6 sialylation, β1-6 branching, and core fucosylation as single analytical signals. …

RF Industries Reports Q3 Results
Friday, September 12, 2014
RF Industries Ltd., a San Diego-based maker and distributor of wireless cable assemblies, reported fiscal 2014 third quarter sales of $5.5 million, down from $9.4 million in sales for the like quarter of 2013.
Net income for the quarter that ended July 31 was $372,000, compared with $917,000 for the same period of last year.
For the nine months, RFI reported sales of $17.2 million, down from $28.2 million for the like period of last year.
Net income for the nine months was $1.1 million.
RFI said the reduced sales were the result of a $10 million decline at its Cables Unlimited division due to a big drop in orders for fiber optic cabling for cellphone towers.
CEO Howard Hill said while he's not expecting a rapid upturn in sales in that subsidiary, the company's cash position enables it to invest in businesses through acquisitions that may supplement core products or improve CU's market and sales opportunities.
The company's board declared a regular cash dividend of 7 cents per share payable Oct. 15 to shareholders of record on Sept. 30.

"…lies, if indulged in, can be as addictive as heroin"
We've all done it: You're telling a story and you exaggerate something, or even invent a "fact", for dramatic effect. Later, someone tells the story to someone else, who then comes to you about the story. And, for a millisecond, you have no idea what they are talking about, until you remember your embellished tale. From that moment on you are locked within the tale the way that you told it, lies and all.
There is a film entitled "Con Man" about James Hogue who wrangled himself into Princeton under the assumed name of Alexi Santana who invented a whole history for himself, none of it true. One day he and his lies were found out, he was expelled from Princeton, and effectively disappeared for some years before the documentary-maker managed to track him down. The thing is that James/Alexi did the same thing in High School, inventing a persona…

About Our Wine
In 2006, the Entwistle Family purchased the 45 Ha farm in the historic Bovlei valley, ten minutes from the town of Wellington, and under an hour's drive from Cape Town and re-established the winemaking tradition that started there back in 1699.
The Entwistles christened the farm Val du Charron as a tribute to the rich history and culture of the area. Val du Charron means Valley of the Wagonmakers. This was the original name of the Wellington valley. The French influence stems from the Huguenots who settled in the area in the early 1700's while the reference to wagon making refers to the fact that Wellington was the last town where the Afrikaner's ox wagons could be serviced before heading over the majestic Bainskloof in to the hinterland.
In 2012, Val du Charron itself became an Estate label i.e. all wines under the Val du Charron Wines are bottled, produced and come from vines grown on the farm itself; thus giving a pure expression of the terroir to be found on Val du Charron's southerly facing slopes.
Our Philosophy
Val du Charron is one of the most beautiful farms set against the hills in the Bovlei valley. Not only does the sheer beauty astound, but also the huge potential of our natural resources -all the vineyards are on southerly facing slopes, we have rich soils and a whole bouquet of 15 different varietals. Our single varietal reserve collection is a true expression of the fruit of our warm climate while the blends are a unique tributes to the complexity and finesse that a combination of cultivars bring –a true spirit of place.
Our Winemaker – Juhan Hunlun
27 year old Juan brings with him, a passion and drive to see Val du Charron Wines to new heights. Always ready for a new challenge and eager to get his hands dirty, Juhan is truly a breath of fresh air. He has a level head on his shoulders and enjoys being innovative and working with a team to achieve success. His bubbly personality and humility makes our everyday activities a pleasure while behind the scenes he is using his technical knowledge gleaned locally and abroad to create outstanding wines not only in the cellar but starting in the vineyard.
About Juhan:
The Greeks said: "Eat, drink and be merry". Well, I never felt any inclination towards becoming either a chef or a comedian, so that left booze.
Becoming a winemaker was truly a childhood dream. Having been brought up on a fruit farm in a small rural community in Montagu and practically growing up in the distillery were my father was crafting brandy led to the passion that I have for farming and winemaking.
Winemaking is everything you dreamed it would be – and more. You get to see the world, taste endless amounts of wine, meet a lot of new people from all over the world, and then just to keep you humble you get to do a little bit of admin. Winemaking is a lifestyle and you cannot compare it to a 9-5 work as we spend excessive amount of time in the cellar and in the vineyards trying to keep up with the ever changing elements king .But there is nothing else in the world that I would rather do then to make wine as this is my passion and building on my knowledge and pushing the boundaries to produce the best wine in the world will always be my goal.
Precision and endurance.
My motto in life is: your mind set determines your success. And this is the way I pursue winemaking. I believe that every step in the winemaking process plays a big role in how a wine is formed. By giving that extra bit of attention at every step truly takes a wine from good to great.
Making wine is truly an art if you get to understand the natural elements that go into it i.e the grapes. The grapes are where your wines aroma and flavour will come from.
You can manipulate a grapevine to give you the perfect fruit through smart viticulture practices and canopy management but you can't take bad quality grapes and turn them into a masterpiece.
I always try to get the basics right before trying to be "fancy", first look after your vine and make sure your grapes are healthy and taken care of. This is most important as it is the condition of the grapes will decide what winemaking methods you can use. For example, grapes with rot will limit your capabilities in the cellar where even your most basic winemaking methods will give you an unacceptable level of microbial spoilage where, if you were working with healthy grapes, there would be no limits as to what you could do by applying every bit of your knowledge to make the best wine possible.
I don't contain myself to the vineyards or the cellar as a lot of winemakers do. For me winemaking is all being out there in the vineyards and the cellar, sculpting the fruit of the grapevine into a wine that not only reflects nature itself but me as an artist.
Humility, flexibility and precision:
Making the perfect wine is much more then crushing and fermenting grapes. It takes a great team of workers a lot of hours and hard work to produce the perfect wine.
Training and sharing knowledge is fundamental to leading a team, especially when it comes to doing specific work that needs precision.

When this nineteenth-century green and red basket quilt came up for sale, I knew I had found a great inspirational quilt for the 19th Century Basket Quilts study. The quilt has no provenance and is in faded condition, but close study of the quilt revealed the quilt maker's charming design of miniature baskets and cherries and her methods of construction and quilting. The original has over one hundred miniature cherry baskets that are placed in strict vertical and horizontal lines surrounded by a wide floral appliqué border.
Construction of the study quilt began by replicating the pattern of the miniature pieced baskets. Each basket is made up of twenty-one pieces in green and white with five baskets placed in a nine inch block, which is set on point. I have never worked on such a small scale! What the close study revealed was, surprisingly, that the five "cherries" in each basket are miniature yo-yo's placed so their raw edges are facing up.
Instead of replicating the original design of over a hundred miniature baskets surrounded by a wide floral border, I pieced only twenty baskets but set them around a larger version of the basket with flowers as a medallion. As I pieced all of those tiny pieces by hand as the original quilt maker had done, I felt that she may have worked on her quilt as I did at many times and places, the kind of mobile project that could be done when time or a break in routine allowed. I wonder if she lost some of the tiny triangles as I did, or ever regretted designing the quilt with so many baskets. She must have received final satisfaction, as I did, when she created a quilt that she'd be proud to own and display.

Published in the Longmont Times on Sunday September 25, 2011
Collaboration Breeds Success
El Comite de Longmont is beginning our 32nd year. Over those many years we have worked with many other non-profits and contributed to the formation of some. El Comite's focus is on helping the underserved in our community, primarily Latino, have access to services they are entitled to, solve legal problems, achieve citizenship, recoup unpaid wages, etc. and directing people to other agencies, both non-profit and government.
El Comite's effectiveness in large part depends on collaboration with other non-profits, county agencies and City of Longmont agencies including the Longmont Police Department. All non-profits benefit from collaboration. Two groups that promote collaboration are the St Vrain Valley Latino Coalition and the St Vrain Community Council. Each group meets monthly and shares news, collaborates on various events, and invites a variety of speakers to inform of us on many important issues. The Multicultural Action Committee also brings many of us together to improve our community.
The Ed and Ruth Lehman YMCA and El Comite have worked together to form an extremely valuable collaboration. El Comite has helped the Y reach out to the Latino Community. The Longmont Y has brought valuable procedures to El Comite. El Comite holds many events at the Y including our naturalization workshops during which 20-30 permanent legal residents are helped to complete citizenship application paper work with Attorneys from Denver Catholic Charities who provide the legal support. Other events include learning sessions where attendees are presented with essential information around health, family finances, resident responsibilities, etc. The Y collaborates with many organizations including Intercambio (dance classes) and the Salud Family Health Center (Activate for Life) among many others.
El Comite and the Y collaborate together with other Boulder County agencies. Health Clinics provide information and free testing for hundreds of people each year. Last year a health clinic held at the Y, Sabroso y Saludable (Healthy and Tasty), Health Fair and Mexican Independence Day Celebration, attracted nearly 600 people with a strong attendance this year. Music, entertainment and food attracted many families. Partners included the Longmont YMCA, the Salud Family Health Center, Boulder County Public Health and Aging Services, and several others.
The collaboration between the Y and El Comite and extended to other organizations has attracted national attention. Y CEO Tony Shockency and El Comite Executive Director, Marta Moreno were selected by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to conduct a workshop on how YMCA's and local affiliates can work together to better serve their community's. The Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA and El Comite where selected because both organization have been greatly strengthened through this partnership. This workshop was presented at the NCLR National Meeting in Washington DC
When clients come into the El Comite office they complete an intake sheet and their needs are met. Either Marta Moreno or Robert Munoz will meet with the client and determine what is needed to resolve their issue. Immediate need for food is frequently met by sending them to HOPE or the OUR Center. El Comite also provides a box of food for clients only on Thursday mornings. Clients with housing needs for the day are connected with the OUR Center or HOPE. Longer term housing needs are met with the assistance of the City of Longmont and the Inn Between. Clients with domestic violence issues are connected with Safe Shelter and when appropriate, advised to contact the police department
Clients who have legal issues are referred to pro-bono attorneys who hold regular sessions in our office. Marta Moreno frequently meets with a client and a police officer to help sort out issues, helping resolve issues and misunderstandings. Our relationship with the department has been beneficial to all and demonstrates how non-profits and government agencies can beneficially work together. Commander Tim Perkins is a liaison to the El Comite Board and a friend. Commander Perkins and Detective Steve Desmond participated in a know-your-rights and identity theft presentation at a picnic at Collyer Park. Such events provide much needed information to the community and help build trust between the community and Longmont law enforcement.
Often three or more entities may work together. El Comite works with police officers to encourage people that have been arrested for minor infractions to use Restorative Justice through the Longmont Community Justice Program where the accused and the victim can meet with a group to settle matters. The out comes have a very low rate of recidivism and reduce costs associate with the accused being processed through the courts.
Your collaboration is needed through joining a non-profit board, volunteering, and/or donating.

One-horse South African town still scarred by 'racist' murder
The fate of a small farming town in the north west of South Africa was changed irrevocably for R80 - or around five euros. It became the hotbed for racial tension in South Africa during 2017 when a black teenager was killed by two white men. Two years later the community is working on reconciliation, but it remains difficult in the ever-present light of glaring inequalities.

Despite the salt content of Gammon this meat can be overwhelmed by strongly flavoured wines and tannic reds would feel even more harsh in the mouth. Reds just wouldn't suit cauliflower cheese, being honest a white wine would be its best partner. So we need a compromise and why not use a rosado?
Spain is the Rosado Capital of the wine world, with a myriad of choices from light pink to dark crimson and every shade between – one rosado I know, made with the very dark skinned Petit Verdot variety is practically the same colour as most reds and in fact darker than some!
I'd go for a Tempranillo Rosado for this dish – Marqués de Cáceres in La Rioja would be a good choice, or one from Valdepeñas where the Tempranillo grape variety is called Cencibel.
French Style Chicken with Peas and Bacon
Chicken, still the wine lover's favourite meat as it sits happily with many different wines. The bacon will make an impact too though, so we are looking here I think for a fruity red wine. You cold try Care Tinto from DO Cariñena – this very fruity un-oaked red is made with Syrah and Tempranillo and is really juicy on the palate.
Or if you like a bit more substance with your fruit try a joven (young) red from Ribera del Duero where the Tinto de Pais (aka Tempranillo) always seems to have a bigger fruit content than Tempranillo's spiritual home, La Rioja. I think Viejo Mundo Roble 2009, which I presented at a tasting last night, would be a super match. It's had a few months in oak, but it's understated, being used simply to add some body and a touch of extra flavour.

Intro Wp Rocket Cookies
Don't you Just hate slow sites? Well, you are definitely not alone. Your visitors hate them too– and, to make things worse, so does Google. That is correct, if you'd like your site to rank highly in search engines, sell more products, generate more prospects, bring in more revenue, or just deliver a more positive consumer experience, it needs to load fast. Wp Rocket Cookies
click here to begin with WP Rocket today!
So just how Can you make your WordPress website quicker? Well, if you are still using a generic shared web host, one of the most effective options will, naturally, be to simply change to a greater performance hosting company. But what if you just haven't got the money or time to make the change?
Well, Luckily, there is something different you can do that is extremely quick and easy — something that requires next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I'm talking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I will be taking an in-depth look at a few of the leading caching plugins round. WP Rocket. In the next review, I will show you by exactly how much — and how easily — it can accelerate your site (using real-life evaluations and actual data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves generating — and storing — a ready-made static (i.e. unchanging) variant of your website in your server ready to show to people at a minute's notice. This decreases the demand for your website (or the user's browsers) to communicate back and forth with the server to assemble the behind-the-scenes information that creates your website's webpages.
With less Communication going on between servers, and less data being loaded each time your website is obtained, the time necessary to load your articles and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all of the articles and pages on your website
· Allow browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth usage with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of pictures.
You may Be wondering what happens in the event that you publish a new blog article on a cached site, because, paradoxically, an unchanging cached version of your website would not take this newly created data into account.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your site every time you update your content, thereby ensuring your visitors will always find the most up-to-date variant of your site.
Characteristics of WP Rocket
It is worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features alone, WP Rocket compares pretty favourably using its rivals. Granted, you're probably more interested in just how much faster your website will probably be following installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), however it is nice to know you're not missing out on some significant attributes.
With WP Rocket, you receive page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimisation, image and movie Lazy Load, minification, plus a whole lot more.
The Fundamental SETTINGS
If you do Choose to learn more about the additional settings and options WP Rocket supplies, you'll see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve to get possibly improving speed much further, like the option to simply load media files (like images) when the visitor reaches them on a webpage (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is its easy installation process, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching option for active WordPress webmasters. It's called being'childishly simple to set up' — something customers who only need to get the work done and move on will almost certainly appreciate. Wp Rocket Cookies
click here to get started using WP Rocket today!
In fact, When the plugin was uploaded and activated on your site, the cache will be automatically generated when someone visits the site. Everyone visiting your site then should instantly begin experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to remove all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box without being overly stiff that it is unable to deliver great results. After activating WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs on the admin panel, each with only a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the remainder of the basic settings display here. When there are a couple more choices to utilize, the plugin works just fine without any of these empowered. This truly is plug'n' play with caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's suggested that you read the online documentation to really determine what this plugin could do and just how much extra performance you can squeeze from it, but, for all those in a rush (or using zero technical interest in the ins-and-outs of caching), it's safe to say speeding up your website using WP Rocket couldn't be made easier.
FAST AND Effortless SETUP
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how easy it makes allowing caching on your website. Together with most other caching plugins, you're faced with the sometimes daunting task of understanding — and filling out — several pages of configurations and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily end up accidentally doing something a bit screwy (and even, in rare situations, inadvertently breaking up your website ).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. If your website is large enough to warrant dispersing its documents to multiple servers across the world for faster loading times, you will find WP Rocket more than accommodating.
Custom Made CACHE LIFESPAN
There is In addition, the choice to alter the default cache expiry interval. But, unless you're displaying especially fast-changing or significant external dynamic content on your site (such as critical content from social networking feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan ought to be fine.
Cache — Fundamental Cache Options
The Cache tab enables you to control How your page caching functions at a basic level? You can. Wp Rocket Cookies
· Include/exclude mobile users from viewing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Decide how long a page remains cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
Most of the time, you can Leave these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
In the Media tab, then you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, in addition to disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
1 feature That is really nice here is your option to substitute YouTube movie frames using a static preview picture. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your website, this really is a great way to accelerate your website without sacrificing much, if anyusability.
Document Optimization — Minification And Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you are able to set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation performance.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your website's code by removing unnecessary characters (like whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — minimizes the number of files on your site by blending multiple CSS/JS documents into one.
You can also install some other Settings such as.
· Eliminate gender-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you about this issue).
· Combining Google Fonts documents (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your own website ).
· Eliminate query strings out of static resources (this you won't have a major effect, but it might improve your GTmetrix score, if you really care about that).
I urge Enabling as a number of these configurations as you can. I say as possible because a number of the configurations for CSS or JS might cause issues with your website (this isn't WP Rocket's error — it is almost always a possible problem with minification/concatenation).
What I like is that WP Rocket Makes this clear when you go to trigger one of those configurations.
Three cheers for great UX Layout!
Preload — Preload Your Own Cache File
Without Preloading, your site only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the page. That means the first visitor after the cache lifespan expires does not see the cached version (since the cache hasn't been constructed yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to ensure all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" yourself, instead of waiting for a person to see the page.
One of those Benefits of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two distinct ways to preload your cache, whereas a few caching plugins do not even offer one.
· Sitemap preloading — preloads your cache according to all the pages on your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, but the drawback is that it does not cache freshly edited or published posts.
· Preload bot — mechanically crawls URLs after you publish/edit a post to make sure that newly edited/published content is also preloaded. The only disadvantage is the fact that it's a bit more resource intensive, which might cause difficulties on"weak" servers. Wp Rocket Cookies
You Can Opt to use anti virus, One, or the two methods to preload your cache, depending upon your requirements.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your site ages, your Database will pick up all kinds of"gunk" from the form of revisions, trashed comments, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary crap from your database with one click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket because there are loads of free plugins that do a fantastic job cleaning your database. However, I guess the key advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the need for you to install another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
If you use a CDN to accelerate The worldwide delivery of your website, WP Rocket can help you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude specific files from the CDN
As You can find complimentary Plugins to do the first part, the next component, plus the fact which you can reserve CNAMEs for particular file types, provides you more flexibility than most of these free options.
For example, you may use one CNAME for your pictures, and yet another for the remainder of your documents.
If you're using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also includes a committed Cloudflare add-on which could help you to get set up with Cloudflare and control certain facets of the Cloudflare service right from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The brand new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin configurations, you can also enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users all with a simple click. After moving on to this'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complex.
To give you even greater control over how caching Functions on your site, you are also free to exclude pages from the cache with the addition of their URLS to the'not cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work with your content delivery network of choice, whereas the tools section gives you quick access to the clear and preload cache programs.
What's More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and service tabs make it incredibly easy to access the online instruction, and also open a service ticket from inside your WordPress dashboard — a beautiful touch!
Overall, WP Rocket intends to be all things to all people. On the other hand, it is very simple to set up and start using on your site with default settings which truly produce great outcomes, yet, on the other hand, there's also a much large choice of configurations and options to appeal to more sophisticated users with particular needs, or those who demand more control over how caching works on their website.
By Default, each time you publish a new article or add new content to your site, WP Rocket will regenerate that part of this cache. Furthermore, it will also refresh the related parts of the cache (including the archive pages( menus, or widgets). Wp Rocket Cookies
If You have to refresh everything from the cache, though (not just newly updated or altered content), you can force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step further, you will also find choices to have unrelated parts of your website automatically regenerated when a new article, page, merchandise, comment, or another kind of content gets added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded in the cache as part of their eCommerce service of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
While Utilizing WP Rocket out of the box is quite straightforward, in the event you get stuck or wish to know more about the ins and outs of how it functions, there's quite a bit of high tech documentation provided — including a getting started section, different tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your licence is still active, you can also open tickets with assistance to receive whatever WP Rocket-related help you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Results
As Mentioned at the peak of this article, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress site. By analyzing the rate of my site with GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and uploading and activating the plugin prior to creating the cache and running the tests — the average page loading times dropped from 2.2 seconds to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin on was a WordPress blog using the free Twenty Twelve theme, with about 80 articles and 37 plugins. The site is hosted on a entry level shared hosting plan from HostGator, and does not have any CDN in drama.
No two WordPress websites will be the same, however, so that these results might not be typical for all sites. They do, however, show that even a very basic WordPress blog on the lowest priced hosting will almost certainly have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
Other Methods to Speed Up Your WordPress Website
Whether You opt to use WP Rocket in your website or not, there are a range of different means to speed up your WordPress site that is well worth mentioning, for example.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will considerably slow down your website )
· Compressing and optimising all pictures
· Using a CDN support
· Upgrading to a WordPress-specific high-performance web host, such as WP Engine or Flywheel (if your budget permits ).
All of All these are well worth trying if you haven't already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at only $39 to be used on one WordPress site, WP Rocket is an inexpensive option for most. Additionally, there are some other powerful free options available — such as WP Super Cache, and, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but 2 of many. If you're looking for something that's exceptionally easy to set up and use, though, and also provides access to a very beneficial premium service desk, WP Rocket is a powerful contender.
The complete Pricing options are as follows. Wp Rocket Cookies
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Business. $99 (3 sites)
· Pro. $199 (unlimited websites )
All Options include one year's access to plugin upgrades and service. After this period of time, you can keep on using the plugin or renew your permit to maintain access. There's also a 30-day refund on offer if you are not entirely pleased with the plugin later purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite striking. Not only is it incredibly simple to use, it also provides great results.
Most of The activities you can execute to optimise the rate of your site take substantial time and effort — whether that's optimising media documents, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or altering themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your website in only a few clicks.
What's? More, if you're a WordPress freelancer, whether helping clients with their existing sites or creating websites from scratch, then having something like WP Rocket on your toolkit could be of huge benefit. In only a few minutes, you will be able to accelerate a client's website and provide them tangible results (in the shape of'before and after' online speeds evaluations ), also, when the best way to separate yourself from your competition would be to offer more value to this customer, things like this will really help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz puts it. "Quick websites have more visitors, who see more pages for longer periods of time, who return more frequently, and are generally more likely to buy products or click ads."
Thanks to Its quick set-up procedure, speeding up your site using WP Rocket is an easy triumph in the war against slow loading times.

Decided March 2, 1925
1. Where the duties imposed upon an executive officer by a statute granting gratuities based on equitable and moral considerations include the duty of construing the statute itself in its execution, his construction of it is a discretionary act which cannot be controlled by the writ of mandamus. P. 267 U. S. 177.
2. Under § 5 of the Dent Act, March 2, 1919, c. 94, 40 Stat. 1272, refusal by the Secretary of the Interior to allow a claim for money spent to obtain a release from a contract to buy manganese land, the refusal being based upon the view that expenditures for real estate or mining rights were not "for or upon" property, but were speculative within the meaning of the act, was conclusive against the claimant. P. 267 U. S. 178.
3. The amendment of November 23, 1921, c. 137, 42 Stat. 322, did not change the act in this regard. P. 267 U. S. 182.
4. This case, upon the facts admitted by the demurrer to the answer, is not within the class allowing mandamus to compel an officer to take action and exercise his discretion, or an inferior tribunal to take jurisdiction. P. 267 U. S. 184.

While the governor's budget is a significant policy statement about his priorities, the legislature is responsible for creating the biennial budget and is not required to follow or even take his proposal under consideration. When the Senate produces its proposal, it's likely to look quite different from what the Governor proposed this week. Read the full report here.

Generally speaking, train-surfing is a practice employed by crazy people who want to relive that scene from Octopussy by acting like complete idiots and running around on top of a train. However, it appears the incredibly careless and ridiculous "sport" might have found some new life in India, although its in a slightly different form.
As far as we can tell, this is essentially train-skitchin', which is slightly different than train-surfing because it takes place on the side of a train and not the top. For those who didn't spend the '90s watching the BBC, train surfing was a big deal in Europe in the '90s and resurfaced again in 2005. The practice is twofold: For one, its about skipping out on a ticket, but its also a bit of sport for ballsy types. Both are equally idiotic, and the participants certainly sign a death ticket of some kind, but that doesn't mean we can't stop watching the video over and over again.
We have to say, though, if this catches on (again), it's considerably more cool than planking or owling or whatever other dumb internet photo-op crap is going on. It's probably worthwhile to note that the original version of train surfing (on top of trains) resulted in a lot of deaths and the occasional lost limb. Perhaps, if things go well here, the resurgence will be more about hopping on the sides of trains while wearing a fez than dying.
