Armstrong is a major northeastern cable, telecommunications and internet service provider, operating services in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland. Armstrong Utilities, Inc. ranks among the 15 largest multi-system operators in the United States.
Armstrong began in 1946 and was originally called Armstrong County Line Construction. Founded by Jud L. Sedwick, the company was headquartered in Kittanning, Armstrong County, in Pennsylvania. Together with his brother Ned, Sedwick ran two crews consisting of six men each, whose job consisted of hanging telephone lines, setting telephone poles, and clearing right of way throughout western Pennsylvania, and managed to grow the company to 12 crews by the end of their first year of operations.
Armstrong is in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, New York, West Virginia, and Kentucky for its digital cable services, most commonly providing television, telephone and high-speed Internet service. Currently, Armstrong employs over 2,300 people. The company's headquarters are in Butler County, western Pennsylvania, with local offices scattered throughout the region.
In 1963, the first cable television customers of Armstrong were connected in Butler, Pennsylvania. These customers were provided with nine viewing channels. For the next 40+ years Armstrong continued to grow in western Pennsylvania and the surrounding states virtually uncontested for television service until the expansion of satellite service became more widespread. With the increase in competitors, new services emerged. Armstrong cable now offers personal video recorders (PVR), video on demand service (VOD), pay-per-view service (PPV), as well as high-definition digital programming.
Armstrong also offers broadband internet service for residential and commercial customers. From 2013 to 2017, Armstrong instituted a 200GB monthly data cap. In March 2017, this was raised to 400GB. Consumers can pay more to increase the data cap. If the customer goes over the cap, they are not throttled nor shut off but instead pay an additional $10 for every 50GB they go over. As of March 2018 that data capwas raised to 1024GB(1TB) with the Zoom level of service, but the Zoom 2 and above levels have a 2048GB(2TB) data cap.
Armstrong offers a cable telephone service that can be bundled with either the video or internet product, or as a stand-alone product. This service offers unlimited, nationwide calling, as well as to Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
Originated in 1950 by purchasing Ritchie Telephone Company in Harrisville, West Virginia, Armstrong owns and operates independent telephone companies in West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. These local offices are set up to provide local and long-distance calling services, optional digital calling features, as well as DSL Internet services.
CableFAX Magazine, a leading telecommunications publication, awarded Armstrong the 2012 Best Customer Service Award for service excellence among independent cable operators nationwide.
Armstrong has been rated #1 in customer service by Consumer Reports for two years in a row. (2014 & 2015) Internet Service Providers were ranked at the bottom of Consumer Reports lists for those years.
In 2012, Armstrong offered 2016: Obama's America for free to its customers. In that same year, Armstrong donated over $1 million in the form of "in-kind cable access" to American Crossroads, a Republican Super PAC. Armstrong also donated $40,000 to Fight for the Dream PAC, a Super PAC that opposed the re-election of Senator Bob Casey.

2012 Missouri Open Recap
Florida Golfer Sean Gervais Bests and Impressive Bunch to Take Home the Second PEGT Event of the Year
Posted on April 25, 2012 at 9:33 PM UTC
Power Events' Golden Tee Tour made a stop off just outside St. Louis, and it's been a while since we've seen a tournament with the fire power exhibited at Redbirds Sports Bar and Café.
Eighty-eight players teed it up at the 2012 Missouri Open, which featured a ton of the game's best players in one room. Everyone had their sights set on the $2,000 top prize, and the PEGT Points up for grabs in the second of six overall tournaments.
The festivities got underway with a five-course qualifier. Each player got their crack at the five 2012 courses, with everyone playing on the same conditions. Houston's Mark Stenmark led all qualifiers, posting a staggering five-course score of -130. Minnesota's Chris Thorbrogger was second overall, posting a combined score of -128. Missouri's Evan Gossett was third (-126), followed by Ohio native Andy Haas (-125) and Minnesota trackballer Tony Johnson (-122).
With the main bracket in place – aka the top thirty-two qualifiers overall – the players began double-elimination match play. Stenmark and Haas each maneuvered their way through the top part of the bracket until the two met up late on the winner's side. It was Haas prevailing here, however, taking down Stenmark -25 to -23 on Grand Canyon.
While the top part of the bracket sorted itself out, it was Florida golfer Sean Gervais making an impressive run of his own. Gervais, who also knows how to karaoke Whitey Houston (RIP, of course) better than anyone in the world, took our Chicago's Graig Kinzler, Evan Gossett, and Michigan's Walt Dietz in consecutive games to earn his way into the king of the hill game. The winner would have a spot in the finals (where they would have to be beaten twice), and his opponent was none other than Haas.
Although Haas has won plenty of king of the hill matchups over the years, it was Gervais prevailing over the former world champion -24 to -19 on Royal Cove. While they were each headed in separate directions for the time being, these two were far from done.
Despite the loss, Haas waited on the other side of the bracket to have another shot at Gervais and the Missouri Open crown. As the dust settled, Mark Stenmark battled back from a loss earlier to Haas and played his way into a rematch against him. The winner here would head to the finals.
Once again, however, Haas took down Stenmark -24 to -23, this time on Dusty Bend. One rematch led to another, and it was Haas against Gervais once again, this time for the title. Gervais, however, would have to lose twice for Haas to take home the title.
Playing the first game on Royal Cove, Haas holed out on the second hole to go up a quick stroke on Gervais. He picked up another stroke on hole 14, and a water ball from Sean on the 17th secured the victory for Andy. And just like that it was on to game two.
The two teed it up on Grand Canyon with the title on the line. Thanks to St. Louis Golden Tee player/computer wiz Jimmy Parker, the championship (and other games throughout the weekend) were streaming online. Why listen to a recap when you can watch the title game yourself.
Technology is so awesome.
For those that don't feel like watching the entire match, it was Sean Gervais jumping out to an early lead. He holed out on the second hole and followed that up with a hole-in-one on three! Although Haas hung tough from that point on, and even picked up a stroke on the 12th hole, he went OB on the 17th which secured the title for Gervais.
Sean laid up on the 18th and eventually tapped in for an impressive -26, giving him the 2012 Missouri Open title!
Congratulations to Sean Gervais and thanks to everyone that showed up for the event. Special thanks must also go out to Power Events for putting on yet another outstanding tournament.
Next stop is Chicago. More details to come shortly.

THE ROOTS OF SHUN (December 2020)
MOVIE「Fukui Prefecture」
Red Sweet Shrimp from the Oceans of Beautiful Mikuni
Mikuni, Sakai, Fukui Prefecture
(Month information was collected: October 2020)
Fukui Prefecture runs north to south along the Sea of Japan, and the port town of Mikuni lies at the northern end of the prefecture.
Mikuni is known for its winter snow crab, but sweet shrimp is also a noted delicacy along with the snow crab. The official name for this type of shrimp is Pandalus eous, and it lives on the sea floor in areas with good water quality. It is said that the Mikuni Port was the first to haul in sweet shrimp in 1959, and the area still boasts the largest amount of sweet shrimp caught in Fukui Prefecture.
Sweet shrimp fishing at the Mikuni Port evolved through the diligent work of predecessors
Mikuni lies at the mouth of the clear Kuzuryugawa River, and is also close to the unique scenic spot Tojinbo, at which one kilometer of jutting rocky terrain contrasting with the Sea of Japan can be seen. Fishing was popular in this area from a long time ago, and it used to be a bustling port for the kitamaebune cargo ships which traveled between Kyoto and Edo carrying wares such as kelp and herring from Hokkaido.
Fishing for sweet shrimp in the vicinity of the Mikuni Port is carried out in September to early November for the winter, and from March to June for the spring.
The highest grade of sweet shrimp is those with roe—characteristic bright blue eggs in their bellies—caught during the winter months. The mochiebi caught during springtime in April to May are shrimp right after molting, featuring soft shells. These sweet shrimp have been becoming popular recently, as their soft shells allow them to be eaten whole.
"You can tell a good shrimp by its color. Quality sweet shrimp have a bright red color. The Mikuni Port has strict quality control standards and selection regimen in which the unloaded shrimp are immediately chilled in cold water tanks, at which high quality shrimp are then selected by size," explains Masakatsu Hamade, Representative Director and President of the Mikuni Sea Vessel/Trawl Fishing Cooperative. Hamade is a seasoned fisherman who has been out in the sea since he was 14 years old.
It is said that sweet shrimp were first caught at the Mikuni Port in around1959, when shrimp were found in nets for crabs by chance. The fishermen who noticed this launched an investigation on the hunch that these shrimp lived deep at the bottom of the ocean. They found that these shrimp resided approximately 500 meters under the surface on the sea floor. After this, Hamade and other Mikuni fishermen made great efforts to improve techniques for sweet shrimp trawling. In order to protect limited fishery resources, in recent years, the frequency for catching shrimp was reduced to two to three times a day from its previous seven/eight times a day. In this way, the fishermen are making efforts to preserve the Mikuni sweet shrimp industry for future generations.
When sweet shrimp initially started to be caught in these waters, although the fishermen knew there were shrimp 500 meters below on the bottom of the ocean, it is said that they had no machines powerful enough to pull nets up from that depth. Due to this, equipment to pull up nets was changed from belts to chains, and evolved to hydraulic devices capable of pulling up nets from ocean floors 1,500 meters below the surface. Furthermore, in order to enable more efficient sweet shrimp farming, trawl nets were tweaked so that they floated slightly above the ocean floor. In this manner, equipment was fine-tuned so that only sweet shrimp were efficiently caught without snagging unwanted items such as starfish along the way.
Hamade says, "To us, the fishermen who discovered the sweet shrimp deserve a national medal of honor in their name!"
No.1 in the prefecture! The reason why Mikuni sweet shrimp is so tasty
It is not clearly known why high-quality sweet shrimp can be caught around Mikuni Port. One theory suggests that the large rivers flowing through Mikuni, such as the Kuzuryugawa River, carry nutrients from the mountain down to the sea to create fishing grounds rich in nutrients around the Mikuni Port area. Another theory is based on the phytoplankton that is generated in the area, due to the complex tide currents of the Echizen coastline which causes cold seawater containing nutrient salt (components that nurture phytoplankton and kelp) to mix with warm surface seawater on the surface to generate phytoplankton. This, in turn, is said to lure zooplankton, on which fish and sweet shrimp feed.
Another unique characteristic of the Mikuni Port sweet shrimp is the auctioning of the shrimp which is conducted from evening to night. The reason is because fishing grounds are one to two hours away from the port (or three to four hours for further fishing areas), meaning that boats departing in the morning will bring back freshly caught sweet shrimp in the evening. Auctioning these shrimp right after arrival allows freshly-caught sweet shrimp to be sold at markets in areas such as Kanazawa the next morning.
According to Hamade, who knows everything there is to know about sweet shrimp, these sweet shrimp are even more delicious when allowed to slightly mature.
"Allowing fresh sweet shrimp to sit for 24 to 48 hours will create a sweeter taste and stickier texture, which is delicious. Many people believe that the fresher seafood is, the better, but I hope they will try having some matured sweet shrimp as well."
Savor sweet shrimp with scrumptious Mikuni rice bowls
ECHIZEN-KANINOBOU is a restaurant owned by Mikuni's restaurant/inn BOUYOUROU. Located right in front of Mikuni Port, the restaurant offers delicious sweet shrimp dishes.
ECHIZEN-KANINOBOU uses special equipment to freeze freshly-caught sweet shrimp at −60 degrees Celsius. Doing so allows them to provide customers with fresh sweet shrimp all year round, even during the off season. Furthermore, customers visiting the restaurant during the sweet shrimp season can experience fresh, sweet shrimp which has never been frozen, called agariko.
"Although mature sweet shrimp is also tasty, we want our customers to experience the plump texture of fresh shrimp as much as possible. That is why we freeze the shrimp at extremely low temperatures of −60 degrees Celsius to prevent degeneration such as freezer burn. We also shell the shrimp in a special way," says head chef Toshiaki Ito.
The most popular menu at KANINOBOU is the Mikuniminato Sweet Shrimp Rice Bowl featuring a generous serving of shelled sweet shrimp dressed in special shrimp soy sauce. What is more, the Sweet Shrimp Cutlet Pyramid Rice Bowl with juicy fried sweet shrimp dressed in starchy egg sauce, and the sashimi plate with carefully-selected large Mikuni shrimp are also dishes customers should not miss. Each dish is a local specialty, with excellent visual impact and volume, offering customers mouthful after mouthful of succulent shrimp.
The bright red sweet shrimp is found in the seas of Mikuni, where sweet shrimp fishing originated. Try it, and we are sure you will be addicted to its melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweetness!

New Zealand consists of two main islands - North Island and South Island - and Budget Rent a Car operates a separate rental car fleet on each island.
To allow for rentals that cross between the islands, Budget have implemented a special type of booking called a Multi-Island Hire.
The Multi-Island Hire process allows us to create one continuous booking for your entire journey, even though you will drop off your car at one port and collect it at your destination. This ensures you get the lowest rate possible for your entire rental, rather than having two shorter rentals.
There is a minimum of 3 days consecutive rental required in each island (a minimum total rental of 6 days across both islands).
The final step is to send an email to Budget reservations.
Alternatively, you can email Budget Reservations and let us know your travel dates and itinerary, and an agent will contact you to arrange your booking.
A minimum of 72 hours notice is required of the customers' intention to cross between the islands if a crossover booking has not be previously made. If notice is not given, we cannot guarantee a vehicle will be available on the other side.
For any travel between the North & South islands on a Multi-Island Hire, it is your responsibility to book the Interisland Ferry crossing as foot passengers.
For all ferry bookings and information on Cook Strait ferry sailings, please visit either Interislander or Bluebridge.


Happy New Year from a chilly Rectangular HQ here in the Kent Downs.
The start of a new year seems as good a time as any to revisit our advice to our clients on mobile platform versions. Back in August we recommended iOS 8 and Android 4.1 as the oldest operating system versions that should typically be supported by new native app projects. Since then both Apple and Google have released major new versions – iOS 10 and Android 7 (Nougat) – and the percentage of devices running older software has declined further.
As always, picking a target version is a trade-off between the size of your potential user base (the more versions you support, the more people can use your app) and being able to take advantage of new features and design improvements that are either only available in the newer versions or require extra development effort to support on older devices.
For iOS the picture is clear. Apple is aggressive in driving the adoption of new versions of its mobile OS to the extent that it makes it difficult for developers to support anything older than the current major version and its immediate predecessor. iOS 10 was released in September and by late November was already installed on 63% of devices that accessed the App Store. Most of the other devices were running iOS 9, with only 8% on earlier versions. With 92% of users on iOS 9 or later and Apple having withdrawn support for iOS 8 development, all new apps should target iOS 9 and above.
The Android situation is different. Google does not have the same control over devices and so cannot drive adoption of new versions in the same way. This is mitigated to some extent by its efforts to support continued development for older Android versions. Whereas Apple went from 0% to 63% adoption of iOS 10 in little over two months, Google has managed to get only 0.4% of users onto Android 7.x in four months. To match the 92% penetration you'd get from iOS 9 (released September 2015) and above, you'd have to support Android versions back to 4.2 (released November 2012).
In August we recommend Android 4.1 as the minimum version to target. Today we're updating that to 4.2 but in truth it makes little difference and apps developed for 4.2 may still work on 4.1 (an extra 4.5% of users) if there are no technical obstacles. The real progress will come when projects can drop support for all 4.x versions of Android and target only 5.0 and later but with only 60.3% of devices currently running 5.x, 6.x or 7.x that will not happen this year.
If you're planning on building an app for your business in 2017 and want to discuss your options with no obligations, please get in touch.
Kantar Worldpanel today released its latest smartphone OS market share data – for the 3 months ending July 2016. The picture is broadly similar to two months ago, but Apple's share of new device sales has increased in most of the featured countries, an effect Kantar attributes to the success of the smaller, less expensive iPhone SE.
As usual Apple is strongest in anglophone countries. 38% of all new smartphone sales in Great Britain are iOS devices, up from 32.8% in the same period last year (and 2% higher than in Kantar's July figures). In the US Apple now accounts for 31.3% of sales and in Australia it's 35.2%.
Despite Apple's strong performance, Android is still way in front in terms of number of devices sold. It has declined slightly in the US over the last year – dropping from 65.6% to 65% – but continues to grow everywhere else. Across the big 5 EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) Android's share is up to 77% and in China it's 85%.
With both iOS and Android on the up somebody else has to be losing out and it's Microsoft. Windows Phone now accounts for less than 5% of device sales everywhere. More than ever the smartphone OS market is a duopoly.
Full figures can be downloaded from the Kantar website.
Kantar Worldpanel today released its latest smartphone OS market share figures, based on sales in the three months up until the end of May 2016. These show the continued advance of Android, which accounts for the majority of devices sold everywhere and is almost completely dominant in countries such as Spain (92.8%) and Italy (80.9%). Across the 5 largest EU markets (France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain), Android accounts for 76.5% of devices sold (up from 70.5% in the same period last year). However, Apple's iOS market share in those 5 European countries has dropped by only half a percentage point to 18.3%; it is Windows Phone that has been the biggest loser, with over half its share wiped out over the last 12 months (dropping from 9.6% to 4.6%).
If you're targeting European smartphone users, the message is that Android is the most important place for your app to be. However, if you haven't translated your app into other languages, your user base is likely to consist mostly of people in English-speaking countries, where the picture differs. Android remains number one in terms of number of users but Apple's share of the market is much higher in Britain (36% and rising), Australia (32.5%) and the USA (29.3%) than it is in continental Europe or China.
The decline of Windows Phone – now almost entirely absent from the US, China and Japan, and only a peripheral player in Europe – means that, perhaps more than ever, there are only two platforms that remain relevant for new app development.
The latest report from Kantar Worldpanel shows that Android's dominance of the smartphone OS market waned a little in 2014. Across the big 5 European markets (Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain) Android still runs on two thirds of smartphones sold in the 3 months ending November 2014 but this share has declined 3.2 percentage points from the same period last year while Apple's iOS is up 6.3. It's a similar story in the US but the Android/iOS split is now much more even (48.4% to 47.4%). The swing to Apple is most pronounced in Britain where iOS market share is up 12.2 percentage points since last year. The Apple resurgence is bad news for Microsoft as Windows Phone market share has been squeezed in most markets, down to 8.3% across the 5 EU countries and down to 3% in the US.

The Rural Ambassador
From a small farm in Wales, the phenomenally sunny Anna Felton, runs two businesses as well as the occasional marathon. The title of her recent Do lecture says it all: "How do you manage 6 brands, a knitwear company and a flock of sheep? And still have a life." As someone who grew up on a sheep farm in Cornwall, I'm in awe of her efforts to build vibrant rural economies: with Monkstone, she uses wool from her boyfriend's family farm to make gorgeous knitwear (who knew it was possible to salivate over a sweater?), while with Dewberry PR, she spreads the word about all the good, beautiful things happening outside of the metropolises. So milkmaids and farmboys, here she is, the one, the only, Anna Felton.
THIS YEAR'S LESSON
That you can never sleep. If you want to make your business work you need to be 100% focused on your brand and ideas. I want to tell the story of farmers and the wool industry even more. You need to think outside the box to be different, personal and beautiful. People remember stories and not facts and this is something I try to work out in marketing strategies all the time. There are so many new brands, you need to stand out. It's a challenge. But one I love.
I have taken to bread making and I am trying to bake the perfect loaf. But on a work level, my burning question would be to crack time management and to allow myself to be as creative as possible, but not to scare people away. I try to question all that I do, so that I can get better.
THIS YEAR'S MOSTINSPIRINGTHING
It would have to be Sean Carasso Founder of Falling Whistles. At the last Do Lectures, he totally blew me away with his drive and passion. Passion to make a difference by using an incredible brand identity and vision, being supported by friends and creatives, and spreading his love for what he does and the changes he wants to make. It was just awe inspiring.
MAKING THE WHAT-NEXT DECISION
Most of my ideas come to me when driving, something I do a lot with my PR agency. I am lucky as I work for many beautifully minded companies that inspire me to think differently. I pick my projects based on the teams I am asked to meet with and the stories they tell me. I only ever work for companies that I believe in.
In terms of Monkstone, I want to bridge a gap between farmers and creatives. I want to talk to as many UK brands to make them understand the importance of manufacturing in the UK. Later this year, I am launching For Flock Sake; an exciting co operative of farmers, manufactures and businesses. I want to give the wool board a run for their money!

The dramactivists
I met Jo Dorras & Peter Walker in a bunk house on the side of a mountain in New Zealand. In between playing A LOT of cards and nursing our aching limbs, we traded stories and I found out about their amazing work in Vanatu in the South Pacific.
Over 20 years ago they set up a theatre company, wansmolbag. What began with 15 amateur actors has grown into an organisation specialising in development theatre with 100 staff and over 400 volunteers. They use drama to engage audiences on a range of issues from contraception to corruption. One of their biggest hits has been Love Patrol, a TV series centred on a police detective that focuses on HIV/ AIDS. Vanuatu's first TV serial has been roaring success; it has been broadcast across the region, from Fiji to New Zealand and is now in its fifth series. Jo writes it, Peter directs it. I thought it was only fitting to feature them as a couple!
THIS YEAR'S LESSON: Jo: Never think you know yourself. Circumstances make or unmake the woman. It can be very hard to explain why you did what you did.
Peter: What everybody in their fifties starts to learn: that time speeds up. I remember sitting around with both sets of parents about 15 years ago, before my parents embarked on a dreadful last decade of illness. One night they started discussing their attitude to death and how it wasn't worth worrying about. My father in-law, Harry, mentioned how time went so fast, chortling as he remembered some old celebrity in the paper saying how it seemed like breakfast came round every fifteen minutes. The good side — especially if you are privileged enough to enjoy your work, and your partner is doing the same work — is that you savour each opening night, each great rehearsal and also each weekend bush walk, with the knowledge that the years you will be able to do them are starting to dwindle — although I don't feel that breakfast is coming round every fifteen minutes (perhaps only every half hour!)
THE BURNING QUESTION: Jo: As poverty is the cause of most of the world's pain and suffering, can aid — which pays our own personal bills — do anything about it? And what will happen to all the young people at our centre when they are no longer appealing youth we are all meant to worry about, but men and women with nothing?
Peter: Just how is Vanuatu going to escape the ravages of an ever more venal group of politicians? One would like to believe that in this, an election year, it would be via the ballot box. But, as the theatre group discovered last month when touring with plays pertinent for an election year, the amount of money, saucepans, fencing materials and solar panels being delivered to villages by politicians wanting to hold on to power suggests that we're stuck with the lot we have and the weekly stories of corruption they bring with them. But here's hoping… the after-play-discussions bring to the surface a great deal of discontent.
THIS YEAR'S INSPIRATION: Jo: The amazing Gigi, who plays Andy in 'Love Patrol'. He's a young gay man and was absolutely thrilled on his return from launching series 4 of LP in Cook Islands, where he was treated like a star and ran workshops with school children, communities and queens (the third sex group there). It's not always like that for Gigi.
And always writing for the actors and seeing them take what I write and fly with it! Wow!
Peter: Read: Peter Godwin's The Fear about the 2007 elections in Zimbabwe. We lived in the south east of Zimbabwe for 5 years in the 80s and went back in the mid 90s for a visit. So the wreckage described was perhaps even more poignant for us. The stories both of man's unbelievable inhumanity to man and also the staggering bravery shown by many in standing up to the torture and general mayhem, just have you gasping on every page. Unavoidably we ran into diehard white farmers when we lived there. I remember 300 km hitchhiking car journeys, when they picked you up (aghast that you should be hitching), and put you straight about how their country really was. Some of these same people, by their own admission in the book, have made incredible journeys to end up side by side with their black Zimbabwean colleagues.
Seen: The youth group we are currently working with! 26 of them, most of school age, none of them in school…..their absolute delight in the rehearsals. The other night they did a run through of something they'd been working on since the last time I'd seen them. They finished. I said I thought it was good and they clapped and cheered, so pleased were they that I had liked it.
Heard: Stories on the BBC World Service series 'Witness'

The design storyteller
Leonora Oppenheim- where to start? She's one of them with many strings to her bow. One of which is Creative Data, which is all about experiential storytelling. Twang. Another one of which is Elio Studio, a design communications practice. Twang. And then there's her journalism for Treehugger and Coolhunting. Twang. Twang. Twang. I've worked alongside Leonora and love the craft of her storytelling and the way she approaches journalism as design.
THE LESSON: Listening to my instinct without trying to rationalise it. I have a tendency to over analyse questions in both my professional and personal life. Something I'm working on is listening to what kind of feeling I'm getting from a situation. What is my instinct telling me? In the past I have often overridden a sense of unease because I couldn't translate that feeling clearly in my mind. Now I realise I don't need to intellectually understand why I do or don't want to do something. Our instinctive reaction is inherent knowledge, so rather than ignoring it and getting myself into trouble, I'm listening. Basically I'm learning to say no, which is a pretty vital skill if you want to stay sane and healthy.
THE BURNING QUESTION: Scale. How much is enough? There are loud voices in the field of sustainability who are rightly concerned about the speed of change we're achieving. We need to move faster, they say, to avoid global catastrophe. There is a current obsession with digital because of its ability to scale, but with Creative Data. I am swimming against the tide. Our physical and spatial exhibitions are designed to work at a local level reaching hundreds of people at a time, not millions. I'm pursuing this route in the belief that we need to work with communities to help people emotionally engage with the issues and understand how climate change will directly affect their own lives. My question is: how can Creative Data projects have a large-scale impact while still working on deeper personal engagement in future landscapes? How can the physical and digital work together in this context? Tom Uglow, head of Google Creative Labs EMEA, recently said that the future of digital is physical, which boosted my confidence and made me smile.
THE INSPIRATION: There are so many extraordinarily exciting projects happening out there, I am inspired daily. But with respect to my "burning question" I think a brilliant realisation of local creativity with global reach is the work of French street artist JR. Addressing the theme of identity he uses large-scale photography of local people on an architectural scale in their communities. He works guerilla style, without permissions or corporate sponsorship. It's fast, radical and provocative spatial intervention which creates powerful emotional reactions and a sense of pride in place. He won the TED prize this year for his Inside Out project, which scales up his personal work, allowing anyone in the world to transform their own identity into a community artwork by sending them enormous posters of their own portraits. The quote below is from his TED talk and resonates very clearly with me about the purpose of Creative Data.
"Art is not supposed to change the world, to change practical things, but to change perceptions. Art can change the way we see the world and create an energy. Actually the fact that art cannot change things, makes it a neutral place for exchanges and discussions and then enables you to change the world. What we see changes who we are. When we act together the whole thing is much more than the sum of the parts."
campaigning, Environment
The Queen of Campaigning
Rebecca Tarbotton is one of America's most lethal environmental campaigners. She's the Executive Director of San Francisco based RAN. The Wall Street Journal calls them the "most savvy environmental agitators in the business". Treehugger calls them "a pack of jackals", writing that "its campaigners jump on a target's back and won't get off until it submits". Whenever we're in the same city at the same time, Becky and I set the world to rights over cocktails.
THE LESSON: This was my first full year as Executive Director of RAN, and for a good 6 months of the year, I felt as if I never ever had enough information to make good decisions. My predecessor and friend Mike Brune (who now runs the Sierra Club) said to me just as I was taking on the mantle of ED: "Everyone is now going to think you are smarter and funnier than you were before you were ED. Always remember, that you're not". I thought he was a little crazy at the time, but it's been a huge lesson to realize that just by virtue of my position suddenly my opinion matters more (and apparently my jokes are way funnier too!). This was paralyzing for a while, until I realized that people don't want to tap my expertise, but my thinking and my experience. I call it instinct, others call it strategy or analysis – whatever term you use, it's not about knowing all the facts all the time, it's about knowing what questions to ask.
THE QUESTION(S): This is pretty nerdy and in the weeds, but my big question right now is 'how do we pivot from running great corporate campaigns that truly do affect the way corporations do business to tackling some of the deep systemic flaws in our economic system…without losing any of the sharpness that makes our campaigns so effective?'. RAN is great (I mean really really good) at running corporate campaigns that both pressure and inspire corporations to voluntarily address the environmental and human rights impacts of their business model. For example, we've convinced most of the big US banks to phase out financing Mountaintop Removal Mining, we've successfully gotten old growth timber off the shelves of the major home improvement stores and have won commitments from most of the major US publishers to demand paper that doesn't destroy Indonesia's natural forests. These are big wins, and they all address very real and urgent problems that need to be dealt with immediately. But how do we ensure that all these victories add up to more than the sum of their parts? How do we parlay them into systemic changes that not only fight the fires but also transform the system so that the fires aren't an inevitability, part of the system design, but only an occasional occurrence (how's that for a tortured metaphor?).
Another one: how to achieve scale without increasing size? The problems we're facing (environmental, social) are enormous, but I rebel against the notion that we need to be bigger to be effective change agents. That said, we do need reach and impact and for that we certainly need to be of a scale equal to or bigger than our opponents. if the goal is to have a large scale and if that can be achieved through networks, how do we overcome the silo's of organizational self-interest to collaborate effectively?
THE INSPIRATION: We gave Naomi Klein (author/activist) an award this year at our annual fundraising event. In her acceptance speech talking about the Occupy movement she said: "We are more popular than we ever imagined"…and she's right. The question is, what does it look like to start behaving that way?

The gritty, biker band was formed in 1986. New York's Circus Of Power was fronted and co-founded by Canadian singer Mitchell and came across as a grittier and more tattooed Guns' N' Roses. While the debut and the follow-up live Mini LP (Still Alive) sold well, the band didn't fare better with its following two albums. Call Of The Wild off the debut was a successful single and video.
Gary Sunshine was switched over to bass for the Vices album. The band relocated to California when signed to Columbia. Consequently, the third album introduced a new rhythm section.
Gary Sunshine later played on a Guns 'N Roses' Chinese Democracy song called Oh My God. Mitchell was later heard, aside from his own bands, on several 'tribute' CDs. Circus Of Power, featuring singer Alex Mitchell, guitarist Ricky Beck Mahler, bassist Marc Frappier and drummer Ryan Maher, announced a reunion show on June 3rd, 2006 at The Elysium in Austin, Texas. In 2008 the band was selling a covers album called Working For The Machine featuring unknown bands playing the New York group's songs. The band's 1988 debut self-titled debut album, originally issued through RCA, wasre-released through Rock Candy Records at the beginning of 2009. Circus Of Power singer Alex Mitchell and Billy Tsounis of Fat Nancy had a new project as of 2010 called Captain Zapped. The band's sound was described as space pop.

Q: Lua Nested Table Getting Elements I have a nested table like so:
  t1 ={}
  t1[1] = {col1=1,col2=1,col3=1,col4=1}
  t1[2] = {col1=1,col2=1,col3=1,col4=1}
  t1[3] = {col1=1,col2=1,col3=1,col4=1}
  t1[4] = {col1=1,col2=1,col3=1,col4=1}

it's actually much larger with 250 items in t1 and 30 items per nested table so what I want to do is loop through and get sub table values like this:
 for i = 2, 4 do
  local width = t1[draw.ID].col1 --draw.ID is got elsewhere
 end

but changing the number part of .col1 to the i part so when it loops through it gets:
 t1[draw.ID].col2
 t1[draw.ID].col3
 t1[draw.ID].col4

I'm using Lua 5.1.

A: for i= 2, 4 do
  local width = t1[draw.ID]["col" .. i] --draw.ID is got elsewhere
end

A: Ideally, col would be or would contain an array-like table or sequence. This is a much more scalable way to accomplish what you're trying to do. String concatenation ['col' .. i] to access table keys in the fashion that you'd access them as an array is costly and unnecessary, if it can be avoided. This is especially important if this is something you plan to do often and want to work quickly.
-- Elements of t1 contain tables with cols.
local t1 = {}
t1[1] = {cols = {1,1,1,1}}
t1[2] = {cols = {1,1,1,1}}
t1[3] = {cols = {1,1,1,1}}
t1[4] = {cols = {1,1,1,1}}

for i=2, 4 do
  local width = t1[draw.ID].cols[i]
end

-- Elements of t1 are the cols.
local t1 = {}
t1[1] = {1,1,1,1}
t1[2] = {1,1,1,1}
t1[3] = {1,1,1,1}
t1[4] = {1,1,1,1}

for i=2, 4 do
  local width = t1[draw.ID][i]
end

Edit: If it's unavoidable that you have to use table keys in the style of ['col' .. i], then the best you could do is to cache them for faster access.
-- Cache all the possible keys that you'll need.
local colkeys = {}
for i=1, 30 do colkeys[i] = 'col' .. i end

for i=2, 4 do
  local width = t1[draw.ID][colkeys[i]]
end

This method is anywhere from 4 to 8 times faster than concatenating a string each time that you need to index the table. It's not the ideal solution, but it works if you're stuck with the likes of col1 to col30.

Health experts: Even after negative test, gathering for Thanksgiving is risky
A false negative test could be costly, experts warn.
Joe Nelson
For the umpteenth time in recent weeks, Minnesota health experts are again advising people to avoid gathering with anyone outside of their immediate household to celebrate Thanksgiving – and that recommendation holds firm even if a person has tested negative for COVID-19 in the days ahead of the holiday.
"If you were negative and you were tested on Sunday, you could easily be positive Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday," said Kris Ehresmann, infectious disease director at the Minnesota Department of Health.
Dr. Mark Sannes, HealthPartners senior medical director and infectious disease specialist, told the Pioneer Press that people who have completely quarantined for two weeks may be safe, but there's no guarantee that everyone else planning to attend a Thanksgiving gathering has done the same, thus rendering the setting unpredictable.
Social gatherings with members outside of your immediate household are banned by Gov. Tim Walz's executive order, but Dr. Michael Osterholm, director at the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, believes too many people will ignore the guidance and cause a spike in the coming weeks.
"This is grave concern right now. Many, many people just don't appreciate how dangerous this situation is right now. As I've said repeatedly over the past few weeks, we're n the most dangerous public health moment since 1918," Osterholm said in an interview with WCCO Radio.
"Yesterday we had the most number of deaths dating back to last spring's big surge of cases when COVID-19 became the No. 1 leading cause of death in this country, and we're actually very concerned we're going to see that accelerated over the course of the next few weeks as more people get together and swap air. That's what's going to transmit this virus."
MDH Commissioner Jan Malcolm on Monday speculated that because it's been 10 days since the state's highest single-day case count (8,689) that Minnesota may be experiencing a temporary trough before another wave hits.

"We have seen our case numbers fluctuating from day-to-day. We would not consider that we have any sort of a reliable trend just yet," Malcolm said.
"While we've been pleased to see somewhat lower case counts in some of the recent days, we think this might be another of those patterns that we've seen earlier in the epidemic – a series of waves, and possibly we are in a trough now between waves."
Even though the numbers reported each day haven't duplicated the high point on Nov. 14, there have still been 5,000 to 7,000 cases reported each day. And there is no sign of hospitalizations beginning to decrease.
Through Nov. 23 there were 1,828 people with COVID-19 admitted to Minnesota hospitals. A month ago there were fewer than 600 hospitalized with the disease.

"The Hobbit" – behind the scenes video
By now you'll probably be aware that Peter Jackson is making "The Hobbit" in New Zealand, with the story split into two parts, for release in 2012 and 2013.
A gathering of Hobbits, yesterday.
Another one of the production's behind-the-scenes diaries is now online, featuring the challenges of shooting a film in 3D – which is every bit as fascinating (and slightly mind-boggling) as the exhaustive material for the making of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was.
I loved the bit with Angus, the production's 'stereographer' – these folk are my kind of nerds.

"Mass Effect 3" leaks! (For about five minutes)
In a story first posted over at the preternaturally quick-on-the-draw NeoGaf, the early test build of the new Xbox Live dashboard had an entirely unexpected surprise – a playable Beta of "Mass Effect 3". Some image spoilers for "Mass Effect 3" follow.
Accidental leak or buzz-building marketing ploy?
It was pulled back into the BioWare/Microsoft fold in but the breath of a second, but NeoGaf's crack internet ninjas were able to grab screens and post them to fuel the agonising wait until March 2012. There's been a fair bit of internet negativity about the third installment – fans of the stats-heavy original RPG hybrid were dismayed by the combat emphasis of the second game and by how they felt it stepped away from the action-RPG genre and become a generic third-person sci-fi shooter – but I'm still confident that the third game will be a great conclusion to this trilogy.
Hmm...feel those stats, RPG nerds!
Three difficulties are noted on the screens in NeoGaf's thread – there's a story mode, if that's where your play style lies, which emphasises narrative progression and eases the difficulty of combat, an action mode which does the opposite and a more balanced, classic mode which gives you the whole enchilada (I'm going to pin my colours to that particular mast).
Nothing that I've seen so far has but me off this title – an evolution of the great stuff done in the second game, rather than a 'throwing-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater'-style unnecessary reinvention. Your mileage may vary, but I'm very keen to see what BioWare deliver with this game.

We recently attended RFID Journal LIVE! 2014 in Orlando, Florida. While at the show, we interviewed leaders, systems manufacturers, and solutions providers in the RFID industry. In this interview, we spoke with Antony Dixon, CEO at Times-7.
Antony took us through the booth and showed us the new products this year from Times-7 including brand new mounting options, antenna colors, and cables.
The A1030, a brand new, large near-field antenna was the first item we saw at the booth this year. With one square foot of smooth surface area, this antenna is perfect for use as a shelf inventory tracking applications. The next shelf antenna we see is the A7030C, which is perfect for the retail environment. It is a circularly polarized antenna with 6dBi and can be connected to additional A7030C's via rubber feet.
With new color options for their antennas along with new mounting plates, you can see that Times-7 has been working hard in the past year! These new mounting adapters are great because they allow the antennas to be used with industry standard mounting brackets. The plates screw into the four holes around the edges and have four screws in the middle to use with any off the shelf mounting system.
Due to growing customer demand, a range of four IP 67 rated antennas are among the newest products at Times-7. They vary in dBi rating and size, but they are all heavy duty, rugged antennas. These four antennas are targeted toward industrial applications like waste management, tolling, forklift environments, or warehouse management. This range of IP 67 rated, circular antennas will be released later this year!
The A8060 door-frame antenna and the A6034S table top antenna are the next products we see on our tour of the Times-7 booth. The A8060 has been around for a while, but it is a popular door-frame antenna and can even be used with additional antennas to create your own portal system. With a 5dBi rating, this linear antenna is available in both FCC and ETSI frequencies and is a high performing, low cost antenna.
The A6034S panel antenna, like Antony said, is being used frequently in laundry tracking applications. It is part of the SlimLine range of ultra-low profile, circularly polarized antennas. With an impressive read range of up to 29 feet, this antenna has an IP rating of 65 and is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
The A6590C, a 9dBi circularly polarized ground antenna, is low profile and works well in a portal system or as a stand-alone antenna. As an added option, the A6590C can include an aluminum ramp for applications where you would like a less intrusive ground antenna like in retail applications.


LAS VEGAS — EMC dropped a surprise at EMC World today by previewing an all-flash version of its Isilon clustered NAS system.
C.J. Desai, president of EMC's Emerging Technologies Division, said "Project Nitro," has been in the works for 18 months and is scheduled to go into beta in the second half of 2016 and begin shipping GA next year. Desai said the system will scale to 400 nodes, 100 PB of capacity and 1.5 TB per second of throughput. He described it as a "super super dense" system packed with 15 TB solid state drives.
EMC currently has four all-flash storage systems with the launch of the midrange Unity array this week. Unity joins VMAX All Flash, XtremIO and the DSSD D5 massive shared storage system in EMC's portfolio. Isilon will be the last of the vendor's primary storage systems to go all-flash.
Nitro looms as a competitor to Pure Storage's FlashBlade array for unstructured data, which was announced in March and is due to ship later this year.

Children and director of Kings Row program recognized for acts of kindness
Jackie Bridges / The Star
Nov 29, 2013 at 12:01 AM Nov 29, 2013 at 8:11 AM
The children and teens who live in the Kings Row Apartments are usually on the receiving end of the community's kindness.
Churches sponsor meals or donate food and clothing and help whenever there is a need, said Suzette Ross, self-sufficiency program manager for Cleveland County Community Development Corporation. The non-profit organization provides affordable housing options, homeownership counseling and overall support.
Ross coordinates an afterschool program for the students. When she told them about the children in Oklahoma who lost everything in the tornados in May, they were eager to help.
"The children wanted to give back, because we teach them it is not about receiving, it is about giving," Ross said. "To see them there that day, bringing their things and watching them fold the clothes, it was a wonderful experience."
Because of the children's acts of kindness, they have received a Carl Carpenter Gold Heart Award from the family of Dick Palmer. Ross was also surprised with a separate award, because of her leadership and dedication to the children.
Not defined by a job description
"Her job description doesn't define what she does," volunteer Dana McNeal said about Ross. "I'm glad to be able to come and assist her, watching her give to these children and the single parents who are in need. This lady will leave out of her bed and bring these parents anything they need."
In the afternoons, more than 20 students from pre-kindergarten through high school come to the meeting room to do homework, have a snack and participate in activities.
"We teach the children what you do, you do it for Christ, and he gets the glory out of everything," Ross said. "We teach our children not to take but to give."
Ross, 62, has spent most of her life working with children. She has been at Kings Row for nine years and previously served as director of the Cleveland County Girls' Club. She was also the assistant preschool director at Shelby Presbyterian Church and the director of Double Springs Day Care Center. She volunteered and worked for Cleveland County Schools and is currently a substitute teacher. In her church she has served as Sunday School teacher, Usher Department, Youth Department and Activities director.
Ross said she wouldn't be able to do her job without the support of seven churches in the area.
"I can call the church at any time and the church members are there with food or Christmas gifts," she said. "It's amazing how people step in."
The churches are: New Life Christian Center, pastor H.L. Rhedrick; Joy Christian Church, pastor Denorris Byers and Sister Pam Guyton; Mount Olive Baptist, pastor Charles Webber; St. Peter's Baptist, pastor William Thompson; Walls Memorial Baptist, pastor Nathaniel Craig and Sister Wanda Guest; Family Worship Center, pastor Roger Woodard; and God's Chosen Ministry, pastor Shannon Wright.
'Give with an open heart'
Following the example of the people who help them, the children brought enough clothes to fill seven boxes to send to children in Oklahoma.
"The kids homes were destroyed so we had to do something," Javion Carr, one of the students said. "I learned that you have to be thankful for what you get, because some kids don't have anything. I learned that we can share and be nice to people we don't even know."
Parent volunteer Joy Jacobs brings her four children to the program in the afternoons and appreciates the lessons they are learning.
"I think it's important to give with an open heart," she said. "You give because it's the right thing to do as humans. I'm truly grateful to have this program."
'She is nice to everyone'
Ezekiel Grant, 17, participates in the program and also helps with the younger children.
"As citizens of America, we are privileged to do so much," he said. "It doesn't take that much effort to give back to the community so others can have things they are in need of."
Grant said the time he spent at the center working with Ross had influenced his career choice.
"She helped me to pursue my career working with kids," he said. "I wouldn't be able to do what I am doing today. She is like my second mother. She has been a major influence in my life."
Six-year-old Sakhia Boswell said Ross "is the best."
"She is nice and she is very nice to everyone," Boswell said.
About the Carl Carpenter Gold Heart Award
The award is named for the late Carl Carpenter, who searched 10 years for the owner of a photograph he found in a field after the Belwood tornado in 1989. The photo belonged to Dick and Julia Palmer, whose house and all the contents were destroyed in the storm. Carpenter's simple act of kindness to return the photo changed Julia Palmer�s outlook on life and also started a chain reaction of good deeds. To nominate someone for the award, email Jackie Bridges at jbridges@shelbystar.com.

Q: TEST environment only: The database schema is not in sync with the current mapping file There are some similar questions regarding to this issue but I haven't seen anything in particular to TEST environment and sqlite. I cannot validate schema for TEST environment which uses sqlite however I can validate schemas for DEV environment which uses mysql. Does anyone know what could be the reason and the possible solution? Whole application works fine in both DEV and TEST environments though. Only my phing and CI build is broken.
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=test
Updating database schema...
Database schema updated successfully! "9" queries were executed
php app/console doctrine:schema:validate --env=test
[Mapping]  OK - The mapping files are correct.
[Database] FAIL - The database schema is not in sync with the current mapping file.

Just What a Dad Does...
I carry still a memory of my dad which goes back close to fifty years now. It was early December. I was five years old and I was suddenly ill and my mother called him home from work to take me to the hospital.
Now I was the oldest of four children. I had been 'too big' to be carried for some time by then. But I was so very sick I was literally unable to walk and so they bundled me up and laid me down in the back seat of the family station wagon. When we reached the hospital, he lifted me up in his strong arms and cut across the frozen grass to the emergency room entrance of Rochelle Community Hospital. Even as sick as I was, I can remember the protest in my heart, "But I'm too big for to be carried!" And then I just gave in and knew I was safe in that place in his arms.
I offered that image in a sermon many years ago now. My dad was sitting in the pew that morning, and was a little embarrassed I think. That's not a feeling he was much accustomed to, it seems to me, as he was such an extrovert that he always rather enjoyed being at the center of things. Not that time though --- for, in fact, later he took me aside and quietly said to me, "But Janet, that's just what a dad does."
We have a story before us now about what dads do. Only in Joseph's case, it really is quite extraordinary. In Joseph's case, rather, it was a matter of life and death. In the matter before him now, though he could not have fully known it then, the future of the world hung on the decision it was his to make.
Now you wonder, don't you, why God didn't take an easier way to come to us, for surely this path was just about as risky as it could be. For not only does God risk the danger of childbirth where anything could go wrong, but God entrusts this child to a very young woman and her fiancée, expecting that they would believe that the conception of this child was of God. God took the risk that very human Joseph would be able to get past the stone of betrayal that settled in his stomach when he first heard the news of Mary's pregnancy and came to the very rational conclusion that she must have been unfaithful to him. God had to trust that Joseph could set aside his own pride and step into a role, into a life, which would begin in a way he had not yet dreamed. Oh, one would have expected that dream included children, but it could not have included a child in this way. It seems to me that God risked a lot, trusting that Joseph would be open to the urging of a night-time messenger, this angel who told him not to be afraid. Who assured him that he and Mary were to be part of some thing much, much larger than even the very good life they must have dreamed together. Who urged him to name the child, sealing his adoption as his own son. You would think God would have taken an easier way. But God did not. And somehow that deepens our understanding of how very much God will risk for all of us. As Joseph risked then, too.
Because as you know, Joseph did precisely what the angel told him to do. We don't know what doubts and misgivings he later entertained along his way, for we don't hear all that much from him after this, but we do know that Joseph did what he was called to do then. He did not leave. He did not cast Mary aside. Rather, he stood with Mary. He claimed that baby boy as his own and gave him a name. That name of Jesus which means "God saves." And we know that he must have been an awfully good dad to this boy, that he 'just did what a dad does' for this one who was destined to be the source of our hope and salvation. Indeed, it seems to me we know this through the stories Jesus later told.
For where do you think, except from Joseph, that Jesus got the idea that a father always gives good gifts to his children? Where, do you imagine, did he get the image of the father running to welcome home his prodigal son? Where do you think the tenderness in his voice came from when he said we were to address God as 'abba' or 'daddy' if not from his own experience of an earthly dad? I have to believe that Jesus drew from his own experience growing up with Joseph as his father here. Joseph who abandoned his own pride, his own long-learned sense of right and wrong. Who set aside his fear and worked through the stone in the pit of his stomach. Who stretched his own sense of what and who he was responsible for, to 'just be a dad' to Jesus. To give earthly legitimacy to this child of Mary's from the Holy Spirit and to help shape Jesus' life and his vision in such a way that some of his best teaching was informed by his own experience of an earthly, loving dad.
It was the decision of a lifetime for Joseph. It was one he could never have expected to make and yet, it is also a dilemma which will parallel one we will probably all face at one time or another as we are called to sort out how we are called to do the right thing in a situation that at first seems all wrong. And when you do that. When you step up and do what is right and good in the face of earthly 'wisdom' or advice which would urge you otherwise. When you act with forgiveness and hope and trust, well then, the world changes. It surely did with Joseph and Mary and Jesus. And it does every other time, too.
For I've seen it happen. So have you. This story of Joseph gets lived out again and again and again.
Indeed, I saw it play out once in a waiting room outside an intensive care unit long ago on a late summer's night. Sixteen year old Nathan and his friend had gone to the mall --- driving from their own small town into the city. They had taken a shortcut they had taken with their parents take dozens of times before. It wasn't that late. They hadn't been drinking. They even had their seatbelts on, but the paved road turned to gravel before they remembered and the car rolled. Nathan's friend walked away from the accident with no more than a broken leg, but Nathan was in intensive care with a brain injury.
I stood with his step-mom late that night. His dad had stepped out for a minute when she told me this story, relaying to me that in his first marriage, her husband's wife had been unfaithful. When Nathan was born, his dad, the only dad he had ever known, claimed him as his own. Raised him as his own. Loved him as his own. And when his first wife left them, he continued to do just that. And now he kept vigil with him, and from what I've heard, supported him right through the years of therapy that followed. He did the right thing, like Joseph. In the middle of a situation which was 'all wrong' where he wouldn't have had to, he stepped above and beyond what anyone would have reasonably expected him to do. And Nathan's world was never the same. And neither was anyone else's who knew them.
Such as this will come to us, too. It may not be that big and difficult, although chances are it will be. And it may well be that the real challenge will lie then in the long term simply getting up every day and 'just doing what dads do.' And we know this for sure. It may not seem like it at the time, but it is often on those seemingly small things that the future hangs.
So this is what we have today. The gift of one dad and one child who lived in one particular place in one specific time. Just like all of us in so many ways. It makes you step back and wonder, doesn't it? What might God just be doing here and now with all of us? Where might we see God at work in something that seems all wrong where we still try to do what's right? And what might that mean for tomorrow?
What is most surprising to you about the story of Joseph? Why do you think God chose to 'risk' in this way to come to us?
Can you think of examples where someone 'just did what a dad does' and it made all the difference? In your life? In the life of the world?
Labels: Advent 4A, Matthew, Matthew 1:18-25
I think that God chose to 'risk' in this way because we can relate to it! Here is Mary, pregnant, but not by Joseph. An angel urges him to go ahead and marry her, that it will be all right. So, Joseph does the right thing and doesn't abandon Mary. He stays by Mary's side and gets them to safety. After Jesus is born, he raises him as his own son. This is something we can relate to. Jesus was born of common folk, people just like us. Joseph set a good example for others to follow. I had never really thought of it in that way, until you, Pastor Janet, posed the question!
