There's no question that homelessness is a serious problem. In some parts of the country, it can be a killer with the snow and the cold. We complain about panhandlers in the medians and on the street corners. It's easier to look away than it is to look at the homeless and panhandlers.
Here's a question for you, "Would you notice your family member if they were in this position, or would you look through them?"


Looking at 1 Corinthians and Acts, we will examine how the value of faith informed and shaped the early Christian community, and we will also explore what faith as a value means for our church community today.
Value: Our value this week is, appropriately, faith. Faith is one of our foundational values at Reality SF. In the context of community group, practicing faith as a value means acting toward one another with an acute recognition that none of us have all the answers, and we all have to rely on and trust in Jesus in the midst of incomplete knowledge. In your time together, remember that you do not have all the answers and that nobody but God is a perfectly correct authority on any matter. Give freedom for others to say and express things that you deem incorrect without racing to judgment or correction. Trust that no matter what, Jesus is at work in each person and your CG.
The Connection and Unity Exercise will be later on in the material this week.
Have someone read the following prayer, called the Newman Prayer, aloud to open your time together.
Last week, we looked at Romans and explored the idea that the Epistles as a whole are not primarily a set of doctrines about what to believe but instructions for the early Christian community about how to live in light of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. While they do indeed contain rich and wonderful theology, the bulk of the Epistles are concerned with the day-to-day tensions and practical questions about how communities of Jesus are to live with one another within the world.
The vision of Reality SF is that we would be a community following Jesus, seeking renewal in our city. Our values (faith, humility, hospitality, rootedness) are what living out our vision will look and feel like in everyday life. Over the next four weeks, we want to revisit the values we have been learning about from the pulpit on Sundays. Our values are our attempt to answer the question: How do we follow Jesus together as a community in San Francisco? By practicing faith, humility, hospitality, and rootedness.
For this reason, most of our time together exploring the Epistles will actually not be devoted to exploring each letter, but rather working through our four community values. We will attempt to move beyond merely intellectualizing and actually begin doing these things together.
Our first value is faith. Simply put, faith is trust in Jesus. It is not simply believing true doctrine about Jesus (indeed, as James 2:19 says "even demons believe true things about God — and shudder"). Faith is first and foremost putting our trust in the person of Jesus, like the woman with the discharge of blood in Mark 6. It is saying "I trust that in Jesus, I will find true fullness of life." This does not mean we don't have questions or doubts or that we intellectually believe all the right things. It simply means we wake up daily and trust that, in Jesus, we will experience true life.
Faith reaches beyond just individual heart postures. It is a way of being community. We trust that Jesus is at work in the individual lives in our community group and in the life of the community group itself. 1 Corinthians opens with Paul thanking God for the Christian community in Corinth. "I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus," he declares adding, "[God] is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." As you read 1 Corinthians, the realities of the church Paul is thanking God for begin to emerge. They believe all sorts of wacky things; they are actively championing a man committing adultery with his step-mom (Ew.); they are disunified, arrogant, and disobedient. And yet, before Paul writes some very strong words of rebuke and correction, he thanks God for them and declares that Jesus is at work in their midst and calls them partners with Christ.
Our value of faith does not mean we don't give and receive correction or that, because no one is a final authority on truth but God, that there is no truth to be found in community. Our value of faith means that our starting point in relating to one another is that the Spirit of God is actively at work in each individual life and the community as a whole. Like Paul in 1 Corinthians 1, we are able to have faith and trust that, despite everything, God knows what He is doing and what He is about.
This week we will be engaging in a large group prayer exercise surrounding our value of faith.
One of the keys to our value of faith is trust. Trusting Jesus does not simply mean believing the right things about Him. Trusting Jesus means living our day-to-day life believing and acting as if Jesus is in control. Trust allows us to be fully present to God and others. This exercise is meant to help us discern the places in our lives where we are trusting Jesus and the places where we are finding trust in Jesus difficult. The hope is that by discerning these places and bringing them before Christ, we would experience a rich interaction with God's love and find invitation to practice a deep, trusting faith.
Begin by sitting in silence together. Put anything that would be a distraction (especially phones and/or other media) in the center of the room. For 5 minutes, allow the silence to wash over you. Notice what it brings up in your mind and how it makes you feel.
Think about the major events happening in your life right now. Think about the people, places, work, conversations, responsibilities, conflicts, fears, joys, and senses (sights, smells, sounds, and touches) that have made up your last week or so. Write out a list of all the things that come to mind in the next 5 minutes.
After you have performed this internal inventory, ask the Holy Spirit to highlight 3 of the things you wrote down that you feel particularly thankful for. Why do you feel grateful for these 3 things? Journal your response.
Finally, ask the Holy Spirit to highlight 3 things you wrote down that you feel the most anxiety and fear around. What is it in particular you are fearful or anxious about? Journal your responses.
Using Mutual Invitation, invite each person to share one thing they wrote down that they are thankful for and one thing they are anxious or fearful about. Each person should share why they are thankful and what they are fearful of.
We live in a world that seems to tell us that we are little autonomous gods in control of our own lives and destiny. But the story the Bible tells is different: we are not God. The world does not depend on us. One of the simplest, yet often most difficult, ways to practice faith is to sit still. The physical act of stillness can be an act of faith. We are going to practice this together.
Find a comfortable position you can sit still in for the next 10 minutes. Take the paper/journal you have written your responses on and place it in front of you where it is visible. As you sit, slowly read through all that you wrote down. For each item, visualize it in your mind. Imagine yourself bringing it before Jesus and laying it at his feet saying "I trust you, Jesus". Pay special attention to anything you find particularly hard to bring before Jesus.
After 10 minutes of stillness, have someone slowly read the Newman Prayer again to close your time.
Break into small groups of 2-3 and share what that exercise was like for you.
How did you find it helpful? How did you find it frustrating?
Were there any invitations you felt like Jesus extended to you?
If you would like share more of the things you wrote down that you felt thankful for or anxious about, do so.
Close your time by praying for one another and trusting that Jesus knows what He is about.

Mark Zuckerberg Drops Hawaiian Property Lawsuits In Wake Of Public Backlash

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is dropping a series of property lawsuits over his ownership of a sizeable piece of beachfront land in Hawaii. The decision follows public outcry on the island of Kauai, where Zuckerberg sought to buy out locals who may have ownership stakes in some of the land he purchased there in 2014 for more than $100 million.
"To find a better path forward, we are dropping," the lawsuits, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, wrote in an op-ed published Friday by a local Hawaiian newspaper. "We want to make this right, talk with the community, and find a better approach."
In December, Zuckerberg, through a series of LLC's he controls, filed eight separate lawsuits in state court, known as "quiet title and partition" actions, seeking to buy out locals who may have partial ownership stake in the property under an obscure Hawaiian law. Chain of title property records in Hawaii are often spotty, legal experts said, making it difficult to determine the boundaries of privately held property and who owns what. The legal actions, first reported by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, sought to both identify potential property owners and force the sale of any outstanding ownership stakes to the highest bidder.
It's difficult to imagine that anyone could outbid Zuckerberg, who as of today is worth $55.4 billion, according to Forbes' estimates. At the center of the lawsuits is a roughly 700-acre piece of land on Kauai's north shore, which is broken up into more than a dozen separate parcels.
Initially, Zuckerberg defended his decision to file the legal action, arguing that it was common practice in Hawaii and that some locals with ownership stakes didn't realize they had them, and would benefit from being paid for land they were not actively using. "It is common in Hawaii to have small parcels of land within the boundaries of a larger tract, and for the title to these smaller parcels to have become broken or clouded over time. In some cases, co-owners may not even be aware of their interests," Zuckerberg's lawyer, Keoni Schultz, said in a written statement earlier this month. "Quiet title actions are the standard and prescribed process to identify all potential co-owners, determine ownership, and ensure that, if there are other co-owners, each receives appropriate value for their ownership share."
But Zuckerberg reversed course on Friday, despite months of work by a team of lawyers and legal experts to piece together property records that, in some cases, were identified in court records as possibly belonging to unnamed individuals. One complaint listed "DOE DEFENDANTS 1-50; and ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" as parties to the case.
While local property attorneys not involved with the case confirmed that the approach was standard practice, Zuckerberg dropped the matter, hinting Friday at a resolution outside of court that involved talking with stakeholders to "discuss how to best move forward." It's unclear what that will look like, or whether Zuckerberg understood the legal issues when he purchased property that, in some cases, had been passed down from previous generations without detailed documentation that's considered standard for property transfers in the rest of the country.
State representatives criticized the legal action in recent days, while neighbors of the property reportedly planned to march this weekend in protest. In a Facebook post on January 19, Zuckerberg dubbed media coverage of the lawsuits "misleading," arguing that his lawsuits would help clear up otherwise clouded property records and that no one would be "forced off" the land as a result.
"Upon reflection, I regret that I did not take the time to fully understand the quiet title process and its history before we moved ahead," Zuckerberg wrote Friday. "Now that I understand the issues better, it's clear we made a mistake."
A spokesman for Zuckerberg declined to comment on the decision. A representative for the Fifth Circuit court in Hawaii did not immediately confirm whether the lawsuits had been formally dismissed by the court.

LAND ROVER DRIVES COUNTRYSIDE DEVELOPMENT WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF SECOND YEAR PRINCE'S COUNTRYSIDE FUND BURSARY WINNERS
Land Rover and The Prince's Countryside Fund today announced the winners of their 2014 rural bursary.
In its second year, the Land Rover Bursary serves to award innovative projects helping to revitalise and preserve British countryside communities and rural traditions.
The successful candidates were chosen due to their unerring community spirit and desire to make a long-term, positive difference to the community around them. In total five successful candidates were chosen, each receiving a year's loan of a Land Rover as part of the Bursary.
The announcement was made at Eastnor Castle in Ledbury, Herefordshire, Land Rover's spiritual home where all vehicles are tested for their off-road capability. The winners attended the event to familiarise themselves with the Freelander 2, pushing the Land Rover to the limit on some of the 43 miles of off-road track that the estate offers. In particular, the bursary winners were taught off-road driving techniques and shown how to use the vehicle's towing technology.
During the day Tom Hartley, one of the 2013 bursary beneficiaries, gave a speech to the winners detailing the way the Freelander has helped his project, B4RN, over the past year. The vehicle has allowed Tom to benefit over 1,000 households by installing superfast broadband in areas which traditional suppliers won't reach.
The full list of 2014 winners is as follows:
Tim Sidaway - Garden Farm LIFE – Matlock, Derbyshire: A social enterprise that works with disadvantaged groups and uses the farm and rural environment to help improve clients' well-being and opportunities. Working with a range of agencies and social services, vulnerable members of the community are given the opportunity to take part in a carefully structured programme of farm-related activities as part of their care, rehabilitation, therapeutic or educational programmes.
Rachael Heatley - Urban Farm – Blackburn, Lancashire: This mobile farm based in the North West visits schools to educate children about food and farming and the importance of the countryside in addition to visiting individuals in residential homes and care centres, who are unable to get out into the countryside.
Mark Cawardine - Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) – Chepstow, Monmouthshire: A voluntary flood rescue, in-shore lifeboat, land search and mountain rescue organisation providing a range of services to the rural communities of South Wales and Gloucestershire.
Paul Harrison - Bell View – Belford, Northumberland: A Northumberland based charity which works on a 120 square mile radius to transports care workers to provide home care and delivers fresh meals and prescriptions to the vulnerable elderly who are based in isolated or dispersed hamlets and villages - meaning they can continue to live independently.
John Fisher – PETROC – Barnstaple, Devon: One of the South West's leading Further Education and Higher Education colleges with campuses in Barnstable and Tiverton. PETROC provide 16+ education, vocational courses and apprenticeships through the South West. The Freelander 2 will transport students and equipment to isolated moorland and coastal areas for research projects and work experience. Improved safety and access means better learning opportunities for the students and valid data for curriculum development, as well as physical improvements to paths, boundaries and woodland in Exmoor National Park and stronger educational/business partnerships. It is expected that 142 students and 6 rural business will benefit
Laura Schwab, Jaguar Land Rover UK Marketing Director, said: "Building on the success of the first year, where five recipients of the inaugural bursary made a tangible difference to communities across the country, we are delighted to find a further five truly worthy projects which will no doubt benefit and grow with the provision of a Freelander 2. Land Rover is truly synonymous with the countryside and we are looking forward to seeing the benefit that our vehicles can bring once again this year, and to seeing the development and growth of the supported projects."
Helen Aldis, Manager of The Prince's Countryside Fund, explains; "In the past year, with Land Rover's support, we have witnessed first-hand the positive impact that the use of this vehicle can have not only on the lives of the beneficiaries, but the local rural communities involved. There are so many fantastic and worthwhile countryside initiatives that exist to support local rural communities, and it's an honour that with the support of Land Rover, The Prince's Countryside Fund is able to recognise and further award five people with dependable and reliable transport to continue their valuable work."
Land Rover announced a three-year partnership with The Prince's Countryside Fund in January 2013. The partnership involves supporting rural communities and offers help to people living in the countryside dedicated to building a sustainable future in these locations.

Guavas have a very distinctive flavor and scent that doesn't get nearly enough attention. This luscious little fruit is actually a super fruit because it has so many healthy compounds. Even the bark and leaves of the tree are loaded with health benefits.
As you can imagine, guavas are high in vitamins A and C, but did you know that one little guava has four times the vitamin C of an orange? It also has 10 times the vitamin A found in lemons.
Guavas contain almost no fat, but they do have plenty of potassium, fiber, calcium, and folate, and iron, phosphorus, along with vitamins B2, K, and E. Whew! How do they pack all that healthy goodness in one little fruit?!
Guavas can be consumed just as they are, right off the tree (organic of course!), and they make a super sweet juice that needs no sugar. You can also find guava jam, jelly, candies, and sauces.
If you haven't tried guavas, or if you haven't tried them lately, keep reading! We have 15 surprising things you never knew about guavas that will have you eating more of them. Even the leaves of the tree have things to offer us!
Guavas are rich in a mineral that most Americans are deficient in — magnesium! Magnesium supplements are difficult for the body to absorb, which makes getting your daily requirement of magnesium easy, if you eat a few guavas. In today's stressful environment, drinking guava juice or eating guavas can get you muscle-relaxing magnesium.

Queen Anne (February 6, 1665 - August 1,1714) the first Monarch of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and also separately Queen of Ireland (March 8, 1702 - August 1, 1714), was the second daughter of King James II of England from his first, Protestant, wife. At the time her parents were Duke and Duchess of York, the monarchy had only recently been restored, and there was still every prospect of King Charles II of England, Anne's uncle, producing a male heir.
In 1683, Anne married Prince George of Denmark (another Protestant state) in 1683, and the couple had 17 children, most of whom were still-born. None survived long enough to ascend to the throne, the longest-lived being William Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who died in 1700 at the age of eleven. When Anne's father, James II, took as his second wife the Catholic Mary of Modena, concern grew that they would produce a son and that James would attempt to restore Roman Catholicism as the prevalent faith within Britain. James was deposed in 1688, in favour of his elder daughter, Mary (who became Mary II of England), and her husband, William of Orange. However, they were childless, and the succession passed to Anne in 1702. Unfortunately, her surviving son, William, had died two years earlier, and she failed to produce another heir.
Queen Anne died in 1714 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. The Act of Settlement, which was passed in 1701, saw the succession of the throne pass to the Electress Sophia of Hanover. However, she died a few weeks before Anne. Sophia's eldest son succeeded to the throne as King George I of Great Britain.
From 1702 to 1712, Queen Anne's War -- the second of the French and Indian Wars was fought mostly in New England.

"Cardiff Blues to stop providing players to Premiership clubs Pontypridd and Cardiff RFC in major shake-up"

Re: Pontypridd gone

Also if Cardiff Blues are not going to provide Pontypridd with players, then I guess Pontypridd will not be providing Cardiff Blues with any.
Trust me without the valleys of Glamorgan Cardiff Blues would not have a team. Unless they are now going to use Merthyr, but the Rhondda Valleys and the Pontypridd valleys supply Cardiff Blues with most of their players, there are not enough clubs in Cardiff to sustain a region. This will not end well for both teams.

LD, Ponty don't have to supply the Blues now, that's true. But it doesn't mean that Pieman can't meet with a Ponty player and offer him a contract and sign him up. All that's changing is the drafting in and out of players in a regional two-way relationship type of thing. The Blues can still employ valleys human beings. There's no embargo on them all of a sudden! As another example, Ponty didn't used to supply Cardiff with players pre-regional rugby when Martyn Williams was at Ponty, but he still left to join Cardiff.

Was the ponty owner able to continue to fund the warriors on his own?
I agree griff. And from a pure rugby point of view this is going to work well for the Blues. Just can't stand how smug some blues fans are being about it on twitter

Griff I think it has all changed now, what with the pathways the WRU have set out. The way I look at it is like this, Cardiff Blues have Cardiff RFC in the prem and Cardiff MET in the championship, Cardiff do not have enough decent clubs to sustain a region, with the valleys they have Pontypridd, Merthyr, Beddua and Llanharan all in the prem and the championship. If you look at the Cardiff Blues squad, most of the players, in-fact at least three quarters of the squad all started their life off in the valleys, the amount of players from Church Village and Pontypridd they have alone is staggering. This will not end well, unless of course there are transfer fees for players, and the pieman stumps up the cash for players Pontypridd might have contracted to them.
The whole development for the players will now be tested.

Where are the rest of the development players going to go, Cardiff RFC ? Cardiff MET ? This will not end well for either side. Where will they get all their academy players from ? The same to clubs ? Go and have a look at the Blues website, and take a sneak peek at how many academy players have come from Pontypridd RFC.
All I'm saying is that those Valleys players in the Blues squad are not there for free or for the love of the game. They are there because they are on a salary. So regardless of pathways if the Blues spot a good player at Ponty, Merthyr, Tonypandy (!), wherever, they can talk to then and offer them a pro contract if they like. Just like they do now with players they fancy in Gwent or Ospreylia or Scarletville, and just like the other regions do in each others territories. This Blues-Ponty fallout won't change sports business. If the next George North is discovered in Pontypridd tomorrow, and the Blues offered enough money to him, then he'll likely sign for them. Nothing has changed there.
And they'll still come from the Ponty area, I'm sure. They're being paid still so they'll still come. If you're a young lad in the valleys and you're offered a paid regional development contract by the Blues vs carrying on playing for free for your local side in the valleys and perhaps missing out on your dream of pro rugby - I think the former is the likely outcome, regardless of the relationship between Ponty and Cardiff.
I am talking about academy players, surely clubs like Pontypridd will have some sort of legal case on their hands if Cardiff Blues are going there and just taking players from the Pontypridd's, or any other club's, set-up. Also, are Cardiff Blues going to have less academy players now ? As Cardiff RFC will not be able to take them all, plus what they have already.

Lovely story this - "regional" rugby at it's best. The whole professional rugby saga in Wales has been a **** up from the start. All we've got to show for it is 4 crap teams, a crap league and crap rugby, week in week out.

Don't sit on the fence...
Blues wold have to compensate any club's contracted player who left during the contract. But in all honesty, let's say ponty have a gem playing for them. He is only going to be on a 1 or 2 year contract max and so the blues would just wait until his contract ran out. Same for any other club or region
Does anyone else think that anything below Regional level should be strictly Amateur ?

A resounding yes.

On what grounds will they have a legal case? Ponty's (or Merthyr's, or whoever's) best players will still go to the Blues, that's the route intended for them - unless another region, or in theory an English or French club, come in for them instead. And any player, with any ambition, will want to play pro rugby rather than Principality Premiership rugby.
Pontypridd aren't the Blues' equals. They're a feeder club.

I really hope ponty make an attempt to join the English pyramid at a lower level
So what? Investment is a prerequisite of pro rugby.
Sounds to me like Peter Pies has been allowing Ponty to operate on many times the budget of their league contemporaries for years an all.

Precisely.
How are Ponty ever going to join the English tiers? Who will pay for them? They're already finding it difficult this season now they're missing a few players to Cardiff Blues A etc too.

I'm glad that we are cutting our squad down. We have a lot of poor players and hopefully this money saved along with the increase in the salary cap will mean that we can try and bring back some Welsh players in positions we are weak in (second row, Charts, fullback Halfpenny, etc).
Also it would be nice to see a genuine world beater come to a Welsh region. The last honest to god top foreign international i can remember was January at the Ospreys (feel freel to correct me). So if this money saved can get us a Carter, Habana or a Pocock then good. I'm sick of them all going to bloody France or England.
I assume we still keep our player development pathways. I.E Blues U16 North/South. In terms of "permiting" players upwards. I assume we will be paying fees for these players now as we are not in a player sharing relationship anymore.
Also i assume PT will continue to invest in Cardiff RFC and his brother will also continue to fund Merthyr. Could some of this be backdoor way of trying to hamstring Ponty? Without trying to come across as rude but i cannot see Ponty competing financially with the money behind these two teams and also the other regionally backed prem sides.

The player pathways are still there. They haven't cut themselves off. Players will still come up the chain, as they're supposed to, but now players won't get lent out down the chain free of charge.
As for rival clubs, Pontypridd RFC's rival club is Cardiff RFC. The Blues sit above both.

They'll always be a feeder club as long as they're at a lower level than the Blues in the 'pyramid'. And that's with or without regional rugby structures and agreements in place. Any decent player at a lower level has the potential to be hoovered up by the pro team in that area (or from another area). So whether an official feeder club or not, with Ponty being semi-pro and the Blues being pro, any talent that can progress will 'feed' from Ponty upwards. That Blues and Ponty are in the same geographical area ('Reeeeejun'!) makes it more likely that Ponty will be a feeder club to the Blues, whether they like it or not. That's just geography I'm afraid. Remember, with Ponty being a semi-pro team there are loads of clubs that essentially are feeder clubs for Pontypridd, i.e. the smaller clubs at the amateur levels whose players have the ambition to reach semi-pro level and beyond. You don't need WRU structures and agreements in place for that feeder mechanism - it's existed as long as the league structure has been in place.
Griff, I get how the whole pyramid thing works. But every so often you get ambitious sides that seek to climb the pyramid, as opposed to staying where they are (Merthyr are doing it to Ponty now).
The thing is if one of the higher blocks on the pyramid changes that could lead to future issues with ambitious sides seeking to climb higher. Obviously we are talking years down the road, as there are currently things that will stop that from happening (regions being signatories on the euro comp etc), but I doubt that will stop the ambitious starting to scheme for the future.
Before they start scheming for the future, they should check with the WRU whether moving up to Pro12 level is possible, otherwise they're wasting their time.
Lucky that is very true.
In fairness to Valleys Rugby, they did present a plan to the WRU, but if the door was never truly open to a fifth region, or a new region replacing an existing region, then that was a waste of their time, and the WRU should have told them early on not to bother. Otherwise it's just mean.

Their 'proposal' was based on nothing though - no financial backers, no infrastructure etc etc

What I don't quite get about this is all the regions loan players out to their feeder clubs, the Scarlets for example consistently have regional contracted players representing Llanelli, Carmarthen and Llandovery.
The real difference I guess is in the number of these, whereas the Scarlets will generally have about 45 players contracted, the Blues have had over 60, are they just going to reduce the extra ones that realistically never play for the Blues and were contracted purely for the feeder clubs, therefore they will still loan players from a more sustainable base of 45ish, or are they just cutting their feeder clubs adrift completely?

I couldn't care really its just another disaster that we have become accustomed to in Welsh domestic rugby. Ponty will still be a Premiership team and Cardiff Blues will still be a Pro 12 team. Nothing will change although the Blues current crap form form is no doubt Ponty's fault in some shape or form

I can see why losing £250 large are year in free benefits is a bit of a downer, but lok on the bright side - at least you are no longer in bed with your beloved Pie Man.
Wind ups aside, this will make the Prem a lot more interesting and exiting,no?
by Steffan Sat Nov 14, 2015 1:56 am
A competitive Premiership is a good thing and I would rather Ponty come second or third in a good league as opposed to finishing top in a one horse race
I'm sure once Merthyr come up and sign players like Dan Carter it will spice things up a bit
At least we are starting to call a spade a spade here now and Cardiff Blues have pretty much confirmed they are no longer going to pretend to be a region anymore
Rather strange that the Pieman is making these changes while also calling for East and West Wales teams

Reading between the lines this sounds like an intended and genuine attempt/commitment to regional rugby to me, just without the involvement of Pontypridd as they do not get on and have decided to stop trying with them (fair enough). What do you say Cardiff Dave?!

Not much has changed really has it and "There is an invitation for the Pontypridd directors to come to the Nottingham game on Saturday." So both parties are still terrific friends by the look of it.
by wayne Sat Nov 14, 2015 12:34 pm
Interesting debate going on here, as a little extra, don't people remember the disagreement between us and Neath, and the experience of the Tavis Knoyle scenario, he played for us towards the end of one season 08 or 09 IIRC, and by the start of the following season he had signed for the Scarlets, at the time our hierarchy was not best pleased. There is a boy who is at Coleg y Cymoed in Aberdare and his registered club is Treorchy, which I believe is in the Blues catchment area, yet he was named in the U18 squad for us earlier this week, so basically it is not all about Geography.
by Guest Sat Nov 14, 2015 3:26 pm
But you can't be too happy with this Dave? I always got the impression you were fully against any attempts for Cardiff Blues to be anything other than representative of the city of Cardiff only. You and your 'spades' thing. But Holland seems suggest a wider 'reejunal' remit.
by Cardiff Dave Sat Nov 14, 2015 7:16 pm
Griff mun, Cardiff Blues are ye olde Cardiff in a blue woolly jumper (that has worn a bit thin I have to say). You know the rest of the story shewerly?
This suggests that the 4 Pro clubs can recruit from any other club within Wales and the said recruits can join any of the 4 regardless as to where they reside or which club they play for. Which begs the question; when does geography (regional boundaries) enter the equation on these matters? I'm asking coz I don't know btw.
by wayne Sat Nov 14, 2015 7:40 pm
Dave, yes it can happen and already has by the Knoyle fiasco, but the normal relationship between feeder clubs have generally been good, the 2 examples of that relationship us with Neath and you with Ponty not getting along, can upset the applecart, let me just say our bridges have been rebuilt since the demise of Hawkes, somebody further up the line said it wouldn't help either organisation and I certainly agree with that viewpoint.
Pieman speak with fork tongue. Or he's totally Tonto. Hi-ho Silver.
No, ye olde Cardiff RFC did not look to the wider region to develop relationships and play the regional game. Nor did anyone else at that time. The new regions however are meant to be doing that, and by and large are doing that. However, I felt that you personally (and the Blues themselves for that matter) wanted to revert back fully to the pre-regional rugby days of insular teams looking adter just themselves and being in competition with everyone else in the local area, so it's nice to see your CEO dude come out and say that the plan is to play the regional game. I just wondered if that upset you personally, given the way I presumed you wanted the Blues to run.
Aye, but why have regional boundaries anyway when the pro sides can recruit from wherever, young and up and coming players can move to wherever and punters can support whoever? Ospreys have supporters from all over Wales, just like the other 3. Makes no sense.

Race in this country: dealing with terrorism
Posted by (They Got the Guns, but) We Got the Numbers
There's a good article on race in this country in the current (9-28-15) New Yorker magazine. Titled "Blood at the Root," by David Remnick, it assesses the mood in Charleston, South Carolina three months after nine black people were gunned down at a church meeting. In particular, it interrogates the way many black churchgoers in the city have forgiven the shooter, young white supremacist Dylann Roof. Reverend Darby, a former pastor, is quoted as saying, "This courtesy is hardwired into the American South, but it's hypocritical. It's a tradition draped in the antebellum lost cause stuff, the old Southern chivalrous tradition, and depends on an African-American population that has to go along to get along. We have never worked through the modern civil rights era. Laws were passed, but the relationships behind those laws haven't fully formed. It's legal to go anywhere, but if you can't get a job and haven't been to the right schools, you are still nowhere.
Remember, there was not a trace of ambiguity about what happened here. They couldn't pull out a rap sheet – these were nine people of impeccable character – and they were killed in church by a white man who wanted to kill black people to start a race war, and said so. It flies in the face of post-racial America, an America proud of itself because it elected an African-American president. Some of the reaction is driven by the need to say, 'It's not me. I'm not like that.' Dylann Roof is not extraordinary. He's kind of typical – extreme, but typical. If you build a politic, as we have done in America since Nixon and Reagan, in which election strategies are based on distrust of the other, well, some folks will react on a political level and vote on racial fear. The truly unbalanced will do what this kid did."
Remnick says Darby, "like others I talked with, was moved and encouraged by Obama's eulogy for Clementa Pinckney, which represented a greater willingness to condemn racial injustice, both historical and present-day…The speech, though, will do little to change the political arrangements of Charleston." Remnick quotes Darby again: "South Carolina has never done the right thing on its own. Slavery ended by federal intervention. Civil-rights laws passed by federal intervention. People change grudgingly." The fact that less than a month after the church killings the two houses of the South Carolina state legislature voted by large majorities to stop flying the Confederate flag over the capitol building isn't mentioned in the article.
Remnick gives some interesting historical background on Mother Emanuel Church, where the killings took place, saying that six years after its founding in 1816, one of its leaders, Denmark Vesey, a carpenter who bought his freedom with lottery winnings, organized the most elaborate and well-planned slave revolt in the history of the United States. Some historians "say that he secretly recruited thousands of slaves to kill the slave owners of Charleston, seize the arsenal in the city and the ships in port, and escape to Haiti, where bondage had been outlawed." The plot was betrayed by several slaves loyal to their masters, however, and Vesey, "along with 34 co-conspirators, was hanged. Emanuel was burned to the ground by whites and was later banned until the end of the Civil War. An earthquake brought it down again in 1886; Grover Cleveland donated $10 toward its rebuilding. Booker T. Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr. preached" there.
Muhiyidin d'Baha, an organizer for Black Lives Matter Charleston, told Remnick that the "voices of forgiveness at Dylann Roof's hearing were both understandable in the context of the black church and the legacy of the civil-rights movement and a form of political masochism.
'That was Charleston,' he said. 'That was accommodating white feelings and white superiority. It was "Yes, Massa, can I have another?" But, at the same time, it was spiritual fortitude forged in a crucible of terrorism. It speaks of a spiritual level I haven't attained…When the families give these signals, and the pastors instill in these families a sense of grace and forgiveness, the anger never reverberates. No leadership arose asking to have this pain recognized…There has been an arrangement here, created over generations, to be able to endure terrorism…We endure. We don't ask for more.'"
James Campbell, a 90-year-old activist who grew up in segregated Charleston, "sees the massacre as a dark chapter in the late stages of a civilizational struggle, from oppression to liberation. When he was a boy, his grandmother took him to a 'serious Baptist shouting church' in rural South Carolina, where nearly everyone in the pews had been born in bondage. She would tell him about life on the cotton plantation, the hideous work under the sun and the lash, the sundering of families, the humiliation and the fear. 'That memory is almost genetic, and I don't think it manifests itself as rage,' Campbell said. 'It manifests itself in the resolute patience of a long-suffering people, whose determination is expressed in the permanency of the church.'" Campbell thinks younger activists around the country, who lack these memories and this conservatism, "are helping 'to fulfill' the American Revolution."
I'll be posting again on this subject, as soon as I finish reading Ta-Neheisi Coates's book, Between the World and Me, a letter to his teenaged son about the precariousness of living in the US in a black body.

Scott Ronald Dixon (ur. 22 lipca 1980 w Brisbane) – nowozelandzki kierowca wyścigowy, sześciokrotny mistrz serii IndyCar Series z 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018 i 2020 roku. Zwycięzca Indianapolis 500 2008. .

Kariera

Początki kariery
Karierę wyścigową rozpoczął w wieku 10 lat od kartingu. W wieku 13 lat dostał specjalne pozwolenie na ściganie się w wyścigach samochodów turystycznych (w Nowej Zelandii prawo jazdy można uzyskać dopiero w wieku 15 lat i 6 miesięcy). W kolejnych latach przechodził przez kolejne szczeble juniorskich formuł w swoim kraju, aż w końcu w 1997 roku wystartował w australijskiej Formule Holden. W swoim pierwszym roku startów zajął w niej trzecie miejsce i był najlepszym nowicjuszem a już rok później został mistrzem tej serii wyścigów.

W 1999 roku przeniósł się do Stanów Zjednoczonych i wystartował w serii Indy Lights (przedsionku serii CART) w zespole Johansson Motorsports. Już pierwszy sezon był dość udany, zajął w nim piąte miejsce i wygrał jeden wyścig. Drugi sezon jednak był jeszcze bardziej udany, startując w barwach zespołu PacWest Racing wygrał sześć wyścigów i zdobył tytuł mistrzowski.

CART
W 2001 roku Dixon nadal startował w zespole PacWest, ale teraz już w serii CART. Był to jego kolejny bardzo udany sezon. W pierwszym wyścigu prowadził przez kilkanaście okrążeń, a już w trzecim wyścigu sezonu, na torze Nazareth Speedway, odniósł swoje pierwsze zwycięstwo. Był to jego pierwszy start na torze owalnym w tej serii wyścigowej. Cały sezon zakończył na ósmym miejscu i zdobył tytuł najlepszego nowicjusza.

Kolejny rok rozpoczął w PacWest, ale zespół wycofał się po kilku wyścigach z powodów finansowych. Dixon trafił wtedy do zespołu należącego do czołówki - Chip Ganassi Racing - który dla niego wystawił trzeci samochód w dalszej części sezonu.

IRL IndyCar Series
Od 2003 roku zespół Ganassiego przeniósł się do serii Indy Racing League a wraz z nim i Dixon, dla którego pierwszy sezon w tej serii był wyjątkowo udany. Wygrał w nim trzy wyścigi, w pięciu innych zajął drugie miejsce i został mistrzem serii już w pierwszym podejściu. Kolejne lata były mniej udane, głównie ze względu na coraz mniej konkurencyjny silnik Toyoty. Dopiero pod koniec 2004 roku udało mu się odnieść pierwsze zwycięstwo od czasu zdobycia tytułu mistrzowskiego.

Od 2006 roku zespół zaczął korzystać z silników Hondy (tak jak i cała reszta stawki), a nowym partnerem Scotta został aktualny mistrz serii Dan Wheldon. Wyniki były zdecydowanie lepsze - Dixon wygrał dwa wyścigi i zajął czwarte miejsce na koniec sezonu. Był to jednak dopiero wstęp do kolejnych sukcesów. W 2007 roku ponownie wygrał 4 wyścigi i do ostatniego wyścigu sezonu walczył z Dario Franchittim o tytuł mistrzowski, ostatecznie przegrywając rywalizację. Natomiast w sezonie 2008 nie miał już sobie równych, wygrał w nim 6 wyścigów i przez cały sezon zajmował regularnie wysokie miejsca (nie ukończył tylko jednego wyścigu) co dało mu drugi w karierze tytuł mistrza serii. W kolejnym sezonie do ostatniego wyścigu walczył o obronę tytułu mistrzowskiego, ale ostatecznie zdołał zająć drugie miejsce w klasyfikacji generalnej i wygrał 5 wyścigów.

W sezonie 2010 wygrał 3 wyścigi, ale kilka wyników poza ścisłą czołówką sprawiło, że suma uzbieranych punktów dała mu trzecie miejsce w klasyfikacji sezonu. W kolejnych dwóch sezonach także zajmował trzecie miejsce, aż w 2013 ponownie został mistrzem IndyCar wyprzedzając w końcówce sezonu Hélio Castronevesa.
