All Quiltmakers
Deborah Pettway Young
Lola Saulsberry, sister of quiltmaker Arcola Pettway, reminisces about their mother, Deborah Pettway Young, whose brother Reverend Spurlin Pettway was the father of quiltmaker Mary Elizabeth Kennedy.
My mother, Deborah (she pronounce it 'D-bora'), she was a Pettway; she married a Copeland, then she married a young, Nettie Young's daddy. She was born in 1916 in Gee's Bend. She passed in 1997. Her parents were Paul Pettway and Louvenia Pettway. Her mother died, I think she said, when she was seven years old, so her daddy raised her. He remarried twice. She had a hard life coming up because of step-mammas. She had three daughters. Arcola was the oldest. She liked to go to church, and she sang in church. She made a lot of quilts, and she made dresses. And she did it without patterns. If she saw a dress somebody had on the TV, she could make it. The same was true of her quilting. I remember something she saw on TV, she made it into a quilt. I never dreamed that people would pay attention to her and Arcola's quilts. They were just making them to keep warm.
Revelations: Art from the African American South
While the artists featured in this groundbreaking catalog were born in the Jim Crow period of institutionalized racism, their works embody the promise and attainment of freedom in the modern Civil Rights era and address some of the most profound and persistent issues in American society, including race, class, gender, and spirituality. Originally created as expressions of individual identity and communal solidarity, these eloquent objects are powerful testaments to the continuity and survival of African American culture. This gorgeous book features lush illustrations of works by artists such as Thornton Dial, Bessie Harvey, Purvis Young, and the Gee's Bend quilters--including Gearldine Westbrook, Jessie T. Pettway, and more--and presents a series of insightful essays.
The Quilts of Gee's Bend
The women of Gee's Bend—a small, remote, black community in Alabama—have created hundreds of quilt masterpieces dating from the early twentieth century to the present. The Quilts of Gee's Bend tells the story of this town and its art.
Gee's Bend: The Women and Their Quilts
Gee's Bend quilts carry forward an old and proud tradition of textiles made for home and family. They represent only a part of the rich body of African American quilts. But they are in a league by themselves. Few other places can boast the extent of Gee's Bend's artistic achievement, the result of both geographical isolation and an unusual degree of cultural continuity. In few places elsewhere have works been found by three and sometimes four generations of women in the same family, or works that bear witness to visual conversations among community quilting groups and lineages. Gee's Bend's art also stands out for its flair—quilts composed boldly and improvisationally, in geometries that transform recycled work clothes and dresses, feed sacks, and fabric remnants.

(Newser) – Ursula Haverbeck-Wetzel says there's no proof that Auschwitz was a death camp and that that's "only a belief." Those thoughts spoken in a Hamburg court Thursday—and others, such as the "Holocaust is the biggest and most sustainable lie in history" comment she made on TV in April——are what just earned her a 10-month stay in a German prison, the Local reports. Her crime: inciting hatred. The 87-year-old extremist who's been dubbed "Nazi-Oma" ("Nazi Grandma") has been steadfast for years in her conviction that the Holocaust is a sham. And Haverbeck-Wetzel, who used to run an ultra-conservative center that was shut down for spreading Nazi propaganda, has her share of supporters: The Telegraph notes that far-right activists filled the courtroom's benches, with others outside demanding to be let in.
Whatever..but it's time to get over this just like we got over what the Romans did to whomever.
'Nazi Grandma'. That has a nice ring to it. LOL "So Johann, where are you going this Sunday?" - "I'm visiting my Nazi Grandma!"

Abstract(s): Scintillating tiles for the Tilecal/Atlas calorimeter can be produced by injection molding, an alternative to mold casting via in situ polymerization. This new production method, which leads to a much faster production rate, introduces a number of additional variables that affect the optical yield of the scintillators and that have not yet been reported in the literature. In this work, the effect of processing-induced orientation on the optical properties of the scintillators is analyzed and discussed. For this purpose, the birefringence across the thickness of the scintillator has been measured. The variations of the birefringence may be correlated with the orientation and, therefore, related to the optical performance, that is, the average light output and its nonuniformity.

This work again and again highlights the "singularity" of the Trinity. God is not only distinct in His unreasonable three-in-one person, but also in being fully man, Jesus acts in many ways distinct from humanity. He stands out as the distinct beacon of what humans should be—loving, compassionate, merciful, righteous, immovably standing on principle, declaring sin wherever He finds it, calling for absolute justice, and having no reluctance to call to account those in authority. —Ted Bradshaw, B.A., M.Div.
It seems that your question is not about whether people are trinitarian, but whether our trinitarianism comes from the same Spirit as God's. Of course, it does. But we don't have it in the same measure as God does. So, there are both similarities and differences.


Whilst chronic anticoagulant rodenticides are likely to provide the most cost effective control option, consideration should also be given to the use of acute and/or sub-acute rodenticides, where available. These alternatives to the anticoagulants are more likely to provide an appropriate option for control where anticoagulants are not available or are not approved and where there is resistance to the anticoagulants in the rodent population.
Decisions on the most appropriate chemical will also involve consideration of the formulation that is most appropriate to the infestation under control and the environment in which control is being undertaken. Rodenticide baits are now available in a range of formulations including loose grains, bait bags, pellets, blocks, paste baits/soft blocks and gel baits. Not all will be equally palatable to the rodents under control and the different baits will present differing levels of risk depending upon the environment in which control is being undertaken. Selecting the most appropriate combination of chemical and bait formulation is essential and requires careful consideration.
In addition to the bait formulations there are additional techniques for presenting chemical rodenticides. These include contact dusts, contact gels, contact foam and liquid baits. The strengths and weaknesses and risks associated with these techniques need to be an option for consideration in any integrated programme.
Having decided which formulation is appropriate, it is necessary to consider how best to present the rodenticide to both protect it from non-target access, but also to ensure that it is readily available to the rodents being controlled so that rapid and effective control is achieved as safely as possible. The use of bait containers will need to be considered and the options of presenting the baits directly to the rodents themselves (particularly for Norway rats) through burrow baiting.

Аеропорт Вітебськ (Східний) — міжнародний (з 1996 року) аеропорт міста Вітебськ.

Розвиток авіації у Вітебську почався в 1932 році, коли тут був побудований перший аеродром з штучної ЗПС. В кінці 1940-х — початку 1950-х років аеродром військового перетворився в цивільний аеропорт і посів значне місце в розвитку цивільної авіації Білорусі. Через швидкий розвиток міста Вітебська і зростання житлового будівництва, було прийнято рішення про винесення аеропорту за межі міста. З 1978 року почав функціонувати нинішній аеропорт, що знаходиться в 10 км від міста.

В даний час Аеропорт «Вітебськ» є філією державного підприємства «» і здійснює авіаційну і непрофільну діяльність за такими напрямами:
 внутрішньореспубликанські регулярні авіаперевезення;
 чартерні внутриреспубликанские та міжнародні пасажирські та вантажні авіаперевезення;
 обслуговування гостей та учасників міжнародного фестивалю мистецтв «Слов'янський базар»;
 виконання непрофільних видів послуг (зберігання та перевезення ПММ, надання автотранспорту, митне зберігання та інше).
Аеропорт має пропускну здатність до 150 пасажирів на годину, VIP зал та всі необхідні структури для пасажирів, багажу та вантажів.

An increased understanding of the genetic pathways involved in renal cell carcinoma has resulted in the development of various drugs that target relevant signaling cascades for the specific treatment of this disease. However, no validated predictive markers have been identified to guide the decision whether patients should receive vascular endothelial growth factor–targeted therapy or mammalian target of rapamycin–targeted therapy. We present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of renal cell carcinoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis complex who was successfully treated with everolimus.
The patient was a 49-year-old Korean woman with tuberous sclerosis complex and recurrent renal cell carcinoma. The patient was treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib followed by the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus. This treatment resulted in a prolonged response and significant clinical benefit. Notably, everolimus ameliorated the symptoms related not only to renal cell carcinoma but also to tuberous sclerosis complex.
This case provides a rationale for the use of everolimus as first-line treatment for this specific patient population in order to target the correct pathway involved in carcinogenesis.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease that was first described by Bourneville in 1880 . TSC is characterized by hamartomatous lesions in various organs, such as the skin, retina, kidney, central nervous system, heart and lungs . TSC arises from genetic alterations in one of two genes: TSC1 (encoding hamartin) or TSC2 (encoding tuberin). Tumor cells taken from patients with TSC have been shown to exhibit active mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, so mTOR inhibitors have been identified as potential therapeutic agents.
In this report, we describe the case of a patient with TSC in whom TSC-related symptoms improved and a partial response to recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was achieved after treatment with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus. The findings of this case suggest that everolimus is an effective and appropriate treatment for patients with RCC related to TSC.
In May 2009, a 49-year-old Korean woman presented with complaints of fever and left flank pain to our department. For the previous two decades, she had received regular medical care for TSC, which had been diagnosed on the basis of angiomyolipomas (AMLs) in the kidney and fibroadenoma on the face (Figure 1A). Her medical history included multiple episodes of seizures during infancy with no subsequent evidence of significant intellectual deficit. At the age of 40, the patient experienced spontaneous pneumothorax in her right lung. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple cystic lesions consistent with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) (Figure 1B). Additional systemic evaluations for clinical TSC manifestations revealed several cortical tubers (Figure 1C), multiple subependymal nodules (Figure 1D), a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) detected on brain magnetic resonance images (Figure 1E) and retinal hamartomas identified during ophthalmologic examinations. Echocardiography and endoscopy of the stomach and colon revealed no abnormal findings. The aforementioned clinical findings fulfill the four major diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of TSC; thus the diagnosis was confirmed without genomic analysis. The patient's family history was unremarkable before her daughter developed facial angiofibromatosis.

Abdominal sonography was performed to evaluate the patient's fever and left flank pain, which revealed a newly developed mass alongside the AML in the left kidney. Because radiologic findings indicated the presence of renal clear cell carcinoma, we performed a radical left nephrectomy and diagnosed RCC on the basis of the histopathology. Pathologic examination revealed three kidney lesions (Figure 2A) of differing histologies (Figure 2A, arrow B: AML; arrow C: chromophobe RCC; arrow D: clear cell carcinoma). The final tumor node metastasis staging system classification was T3aN0M0, stage 3, Fuhrman nuclear grade 2.

In October 2010, approximately 17 months after the nephrectomy was performed, the patient experienced fever and left flank pain again. A follow-up CT scan revealed a heterogeneously enhanced mass at the nephrectomy site. A biopsy of the soft tissue in the left subphrenic area allowed us to confirm that this mass was recurrent RCC, and as a result a multidisciplinary team decided to administer systemic treatment for this unresectable and symptomatic disease. The first line of treatment included daily doses of sunitinib (50mg) for three months, which resulted in a partial response. However, recurrent grade 3 thrombocytopenia and stomatitis necessitated a 25% dose reduction. Additional dose reductions were necessary to address recurrent grade 2 hand-foot syndrome, whole-body folliculitis, grade 3 diarrhea and grade 2 hypothyroidism.
After 13 months of sunitinib treatment, the lesion regrew and the patient's pain recurred (Figure 3A and 3B). As second-line treatment, the patient was given oral everolimus (10mg/day) because it is approved for use in Korea for patients with recurrent RCC that is resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

(B) Magnetic resonance imaging scan showing angiomyolipoma. (C) Magnetic resonance imaging scan showing partial response to everolimus treatment of renal cell carcinoma close to left diaphragm (arrow). (D) Imaging study showing regression of the patient's angiomyolipoma.
The patient reported complete resolution of pain after two months of everolimus treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a partial response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1)  (Figure 3C). Additionally, the patient's facial fibroadenoma had remarkably regressed (Figure 1F), and, visualized on the follow-up images, the overall renal mass, including the AML lesion (Figure 3D), had decreased in size. Other asymptomatic benign lesions, including LAM (Figure 1G), cortical tubers (Figure 1H), subependymal nodules (Figure 1I) and SEGA (Figure 1J), had slightly improved. Adverse events were unremarkable with the exception of asymptomatic pneumonitis, which was observed in both basal lungs on the CT scan. As of December 2012, the patient's treatment had achieved a partial response, and the patient was in stable condition and continued to receive treatment.
Elucidation of the roles of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and mTOR-containing complex 1 (mTORC1) in RCC has led to evaluation of the use of VEGF and mTOR inhibitors for the treatment of RCC. Increased understanding of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR pathway has resulted in the development of various drugs that specifically target this signaling cascade . Over the past decade, studies of these targeted agents have led to revolutionary changes in treatment options for patients with advanced RCC [1, 4–8]. However, no validated predictive markers have been identified to guide decisions about which type of therapy should be chosen (VEGF-targeted or mTOR-targeted) [9, 10]. Currently, the standard of care involves selection of the treatment regimen that is based solely on risk categories reflective of clinical parameters rather than on molecular pathogenesis.
Several known genes are associated with kidney cancer. Two of these genes, TSC1 and TSC2, are downstream of AMPK and negatively regulate mTOR in response to cellular energy deficits. Germline mutations in either of these genes have been identified in patients with TSC, an autosomal dominant disorder associated with cutaneous angiofibromas, pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis and renal tumors . Renal lesions, including AML cysts and RCC, occur in 60% to 80% of TSC patients with TSC [11, 12]. RCC has been reported in 1% to 4% of patients with TSC, which is a relatively low rate compared to that found in the whole general population. However, this type of cancer is typically diagnosed at a younger age in patients with TSC than in other patients with cancer. In a study group of patients with TSC, RCC developed at an average age of 28 years . Washecka and Hanna also found in their review that 43% of TSC patients with RCC had bilateral disease. Although clear cell RCC is the predominant malignant histological subtype, TSC-related RCC is unusual in that it is histologically heterogeneous. Oncocytomas, as well as clear cell, papillary and chromophobe carcinoma subtypes, have been reported in patients with TSC [12, 13]. Thus, the clinical course and prognosis of RCC associated with TSC are variable.
In most cases, TSC arises from mutations that inactivate the TSC1 (hamartin) gene on chromosome 9 or the TSC2 (tuberin) gene on chromosome 16 [14–16]. Either of these mutations results in constitutive mTOR expression and impaired tumor suppression in multiple tissues [17, 18]. Consequently, the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin was evaluated in clinical, proof-of-principle trials. A total of 13 ongoing trials are being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of sirolimus, which is topical rapamycin, and everolimus, which is a rapamycin derivative, for treatment of various clinical TSC manifestations. Sirolimus treatment for either LAM of the lung  or AML of the kidney [19, 20] has enhanced disease control in a trial setting.
Everolimus is currently licensed to treat patients who have advanced RCC and disease progression during or after treatment with VEGF-targeted therapy [6, 21]. Before it was used as an antineoplastic agent, everolimus was approved as a prophylactic agent for organ rejection in adult patients receiving allogeneic renal or cardiac transplants.
Everolimus is a selective mTOR inhibitor that specifically targets mTORC1. The kinase activity of mTOR is activated mainly via the PI3K pathway. As mentioned above, several laboratory studies and case reports have suggested that mTOR inhibition leads to the shrinkage or stabilization of renal AML, LAM, facial angiofibroma and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma . Recently, everolimus was approved in the European Union and the United States for the treatment of patients with SEGA associated with TSC. This approval was based on the results of a phase II study . No evidence supports everolimus as first-line therapy over TKIs for patients with TSC as well as RCC. A case of a pediatric patient with RCC and TSC-related skin dermatofibrosis treated with sirolimus has been reported , but no data are available on everolimus as a treatment for RCC in adult patients with TSC.
In this report, we describe the case of a patient who presented with RCC as a clinical manifestation of TSC. On the basis of the presence of TSC, the pathogenic mechanism that led to development of RCC in this patient was clearly defined. Despite our effective use of a TKI in accordance with treatment guidelines, the patient experienced a multitude of adverse events and her quality of life was significantly impaired during treatment. In contrast, second-line treatment with everolimus yielded significant clinical benefits evidenced by reductions in tumor size and other TSC manifestations, presumably because of inhibition of the most relevant RCC signaling target. Everolimus conferred these beneficial effects without detrimental adverse events and therefore did not compromise the patient's quality of life. This observation provides a rationale for the use of everolimus as first-line treatment in this specific patient population to target the correct pathway involved in carcinogenesis.
KHP was directly involved in the overall care of the patient, served as the lead clinician, selected the images presented and obtained written consent from the patient. STK, DJS, CHK, SWS, YHK, and WYC were involved in the patient's treatment and investigation of data. HSK was directly involved in the overall care of the patient and drafted the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.


Hateful Texas House Republicans emboldened by Trump and his bigoted ilk have filed a bill that would cut state funding to so-called sanctuary cities. And their grand wizard, Dan Patrick, has made SB4 a priority.
Apparently, they didn't notice that Texas counties like Harris got rid of an anti-immigrant Sheriff and DA. And they haven't noticed that the border billions they have spent these last two sessions have been a complete failure and waste. The target is obvious.
Federalizing local police and jails is the first step to allowing racial profiling to run amok, while increasing waste in jail spending. Incoming Sheriff Ed Gonzalez ran on a campaign to rid Harris County jail of programs like 287g, which basically puts local resources into the immigration money game. 287g and Secure Communities have been terribly flawed deportation programs which have destroyed families and affected local economies.
No, it's not surprising that this bill came up, again. What we should be ready for is racist rhetoric and activity that will surely be thrown at the Latino and immigrant community. And there will be no one to blame but the Republican Party (and any Democrat who happens to support it). Don't be fooled by the "security" rhetoric. Trump and the Republicans are making it obvious who it is they are targeting–Brown people.
The 84th Lege is Over!
Well, this time around, I didn't get to blog much about Lege happenings. My compadres in the blogosphere did a lot of good writing and that was good enough for me.
The main bills I kept an eye on were targeted ones, like legalized racial profiling (sanctuary cities), a ban on in-state tuition for undocs, and, because I have family members who work in higher education, guns on college campuses. If Abbott signs the campus carry bill despite the amendment which allows University and college presidents to designate gun-free zones, then I'll have gone two out of three. Not that that's a good thing, considering the danger of allowing concealed guns on campus.
There were other victories that came in the form of dead bills–bills that either didn't make the cut or were chubbed by Democrats, especially anti-LGBT bills. Of course, some of our favorite reps and senators passed bills that affected or impacted their respective districts. I'm sure the press releases will start trickling in.
One huge pile of waste is the almost one billion dollars that will go to Greg Abbott's brand of border security through the use of an overburdened DPS. It's already been proven a waste, but in order for gringo Republicans to feel the warm and fuzzies, I guess this needs to be done, right? It certainly doesn't make Texas safer.
Our friends at KeepHB1403.com remind us that the Texas Senate missed a deadline on Saturday to pass SB1819, a bill to ban in-state tuition rates for undocumented students who meet local residency and other requirements.
According to the group, if the Senate had passed the bill by the deadline, it also needed to have gone to a Texas House committee for consideration prior to a vote by the full House. Since none of these occurred, it becomes a lot more difficult to pass a ban, but not necessarily impossible if it is attached as an amendment.
Also, SB185, which would allow immigrant status checks by local law enforcement (a racial profiling law) seems to have experienced the same situation after it was "not placed again on intent calendar" on Saturday. Could it be added as and amendment? Well, you never know. With a few days left in the Texas Lege, all eyes are on a lot of legislative battles over amendments and bills that made the deadline.
Obviously, Abbott could call a special session for any of these things, and if he doesn't, they'll come up again in a couple of years.
We'll keep an eye and ear open.
Update: The DMN reports on this, too, as does the Amarillo paper. The AGN had some surprising GOP quotes, too. In fact, even Charles Perry, the senator who wrote SB185, says it is dead.
State Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, gave stronger reasons for opposing SB 185 and Senate Bill 1819, the in-state tuition bill filed by state Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels.
"Let me just say that there are three problems with (SB) 185," Estes, said. "It is absolutely important to realize that it's the federal government's job to enforce our immigration laws, and I worry about the burden that it puts on our local police.
"Point No. 2 is this: I feel that the bill lacks the protections for American citizens being stopped at random. American citizens, no matter what their ethnic origin, have the right to go about their daily business and not be stopped and be questioned. … Let me say this: The phrase 'Show me your papers' is more like Nazi Germany than it is about the U.S.A.
Lisa Falkenberg at the Chron offered up even more strong evidence regarding the lack of a need for Rick Perry's Border Surge. Long story short: The image provided by Rick Perry and other politicians about violence on the border doesn't match up to crime stats.
Surely, the waste of tax dollars at the hands of Republicans should speak volumes as to future political implications, whether they affect Rick Perry's presidential bid, or the future of Abbott, Patrick, and the rest of these alarmist Republicans who will blame immigrants for just about any problem caused by Republicans. Unfortunately, when top-of-the-ballot Democrats attempt (miserably) to co-opt the issue for their own political gain, it's hard to participate in the usual point-and-blame game Dems usually play against Republicans.
Of course, there are those Dems who seem to do it correctly.
Of course, we need solutions; in this case, to stop the waste of our tax dollars on political war games that make for great campaign photo ops. Unfortunately, that takes ejecting the current people in positions of power. It is said that voting matters, but it takes strong, progressive-minded politicians who are willing to fight for what is right to earn those votes.
AUSTIN – Today, Senator Sylvia Garcia voted against the Senate's State Budget proposal. The Senate Budget failed to address billions of dollars in identified needs such as: education, facilities, healthcare, pre-k, and transportation.
"Texas should not be conducting corporate tax giveaways at the expense of kids and families – it should be providing the services that taxpayers have paid for, such as schools and highways. We made a promise to invest in Texas schools after the 2011 cuts, but instead we face a looming school finance lawsuit," Senator Garcia stated.
Thanks, again, to Moyers Media.
Looks like the Special Election to replace the late, great Senator Mario Gallegos turned out to be all about Sylvia Garcia and Carol Alvarado.
Garcia started out with a slightly stronger show in ballots by mail and even better in the in-person early vote to get her close to 50%. But it was Alvarado whose campaign made sure the Election Day vote was close, thus ensuring the run-off. In other words, no knock-out punch for Garcia in Round 1.
All in all, 5.64% of the 292,000 voters in SD-6 showed, which was slightly higher than I had predicted. Now, folks can start guessing whether there will be an increase in interest given that there are now only two, or if the usual thing will happen–even less voters will show up in Round 2.
I won't go into any analysis because there's not much to put under the microscope. I wake up on this Sunday morning just too damn cynical because when you look really look at things, the only winners were the the political and media consultants.
Oh yeah, and Joaquin Martinez, who I hear had an excellent celebration, along with mariachis!
Maybe Kuff has a less cynical view of things.

The extension of forestry licensing agreements by one year, given what's going on and Minister's recent defence of it, is not a good sign.
-explore opportunities for small-scale wood energy projects to allow low-quality wood to be used in heating public buildings, such as hospitals, schools, and government offices.
In addition, Government will extend forestry licensing agreements by one year. This will allow time to begin the work required and, in the interim, provide continued access to Crown land for Crown licensees.
Given we have waited 3-and-a-half months, these are pretty thin documents, with vague timelines for action and there is a lot of wiggle room.
In my mind, the extension of forestry licensing agreements by one year, given what's going on and Minister's defence of it, is not a good sign. Why could they not have at least implemented the directives issued and then withdrawn in September?
– In an effort to increase biodiversity…patches of smaller, or immature wood within a stand should no longer be harvested simply for the sake of convenience and to clean up the site…"We should be looking for ways to increase the post-harvest heterogeneity of harvest areas," he says.
How are Mr. Zwicker & Co and the government going to defend their harvest plans now?
We are just following the provincial guidelines when we clear cut a forest. The government says we can use the discredited processes for another year while we adapt.
There have been no changes in the upper echelons of DNR/L&F that have directed and justified the misuse of Crown lands and run the department like a military bunker defending Industrial Forestry practices over the past decade and more for the benefit of the big players. It has come at huge cost to the rest of us and to the natural world and undermined the longer term productivity of our forests and the capacity of our forests to adapt to and mitigate climate change.
So we wait another year… and as we can, do the government's due diligence for them, clearcut by clearcut.
Lahey said he was pleased overall with the government's plan, but had hoped to see more detail in response to his report.
...And while Lahey predicted less clear cutting would lead to a reduction of Crown land wood supply of 10 to 20 per cent, Rankin disagreed.
One area where Plourde was adamant on the need for more progress was biomass.
He said the only way he would support small-scale biomass energy projects using residual wood from sawmills is if the government stops the high-volume biomass generators in Liverpool and Port Hawkesbury. He also wants to see a banning of bulk exports of biomass to Europe.
"Our little landmass, our highly stressed forest cannot supply even a fraction of the biomass demand of Europe," he said.
On a more positive note, the CBC reports that "The Nova Scotia government said it will ask Prof. Bill Lahey to review its progress as recommendations from his report are implemented." I am guessing Prof. Lahey will want such reviews to be open and transparent.
CBC INFORMATION MORNING INTERVIEW: Iain Rankin is Nova Scotia's Minister of Lands and Forestry. His in our studio with us now. Good morning Minister Ranking.
MINISTER: Good morning thanks for having me in today – thanks for coming in.
CBC: You hear what Mike was saying there. What are your thoughts about his concerns in this particular stand of wood – of what he calls a nature reserve and the trees that are in it?
CBC: Does the Lahey report change how you look at and approve areas for clear-cuts?
CBC: For parcels of forested land that have already been approved to the clear-cut but haven't been yet, will they still go ahead?
MINISTER: Yeah, there is a – we can't grind industry to a halt. There was a process that we had in place to go through. Um. Analyzing what the appropriate prescription was and since the Lahey Report has come out, um, we were looking at those themes and insuring that we were asking for a retention and if there are any areas around protected areas, um, people are interested in setbacks we put in place, mandated 100 meter setbacks, so this has been changing over time. I do believe that we are getting to a place where there is foundational change on the ground. And especially since our response on any further approvals you'll see some of the spirit and intent from those recommendations right away.
CBC: Why not though apply the triad model approach and ecological forestry principles of the Lahey Report to already approved clear-cuts since the end goal is to manage forests differently?
CBC: This just addresses Crown land. Why have you not addressed what will happen on private land in the terms of clear-cutting in your response to the Lahey Report?
MINISTER: Well we followed what the Lahey Report, the general thrust of that report really focused on Crown land Management. It is public land and Nova Scotians have shown great interest in how we manage public land. The response references generally about ¾ of the recommendations. We thought we would go along that same vein address the foundational recommendations in the report like the Forest Management Guides where you'll see changes on the ground right away and once those become more advanced, we will look at those, at those aspects to private land and there could be some consultation as they recommended to look at before we make changes there.
CBC: And by more advanced, what kind of time-line are you talking about for finishing up out implementing the Lahey recommendations on Crown land?
MINISTER: So as speaking to the authors of the report, to get feedback they believed it would take time. The Forest Management Guide we put in a timeline of roughly 12 months. So we are looking at a year before that's , we have a revised iteration. It's important that we engage our stakeholders in this. Nova Scotians want to be involved in how the, we make these changes, and that is why it was important for us and for me, something in place that interim period, so that we give confidence that there will be changes right away. We think that we have hit that spot.
CBC: Your government announced Monday that it would be extending licenses for companies that cut wood on Crown land for another year. In the fall WestFor's License was already extended for a year – would this mean that they actually have a two year extension or that one year that they already got WestFor, is the extent of it.
MINISTER: That's the extent of WestFor, we had to make an extension because it was expiring, in the summer, so, we needed them on some kind of agreement. They could not operate without one. Um, this is a period of transition and because those timelines that we referenced with about a yea, we thought it was more prudent for us to give a shot term lease so the year, rather than some of the 20 year leases that we've seen over time. We need to get our foundational changes in place and embrace that ecological paradigm when we look at our practices, polices and some legislative changes and then once we get those in place and we have confidence that we have a different system then we can start to look at our potentially long term leases.
CBC: It sounds like 10-30 will be the reduction on Crown land, why those targets given those, I think that Lahey recommended a lot more of a reduction on clear-cutting?
MINISTER: Ah well, I have been hearing about this since our response and uh we should be clear that the report did not recommend targets. They estimated that if we followed the ecological forestry practices which we do endorse, that there would be a reduction down to the 20-25% range on Crown land and perhaps an increase on private land to mitigate some of the fibre differences but we believe that it's important to look and fully embracing this model and making qualitative changes as opposed to governments in the past who have set a target which I have referenced as a political target, and then working backwards to find the science to justify that target – this is about stating with the science, incorporating all the best practices that we've learned from this report from across Canada and the State of Maine and working with Professor Lahey who we asked to come back and evaluate it so there's an important accountability mechanism there, and we want to be more transparent as we go through this process to 'yes' we will reduce clear-cutting significantly but we will also find better ways to find retention on the ground so that we do nurture what people refer to as Acadian Forest, we can restore that Acadian forest and that's what the mixed species, multi-aged does, then that protects wildlife, protects biodiversity and all the things that Nova Scotia care about.
CBC: If there is an increase on private land though, does that achieve those goals?
MINISTER: So private land, they have certain rights and responsibilities that would work with the private woodlot owners. A lot of them are doing excellent work in their own and we will ensure that they look at triad model and they have actually brought proposals forward which we are pleased to see as so if they emulate some of what we do I would expect that they would over time Programs to see how we can help provide some kind of support those types of goals.

Q: PPA efforts only create an empty build directory with pbuilder or ppa itself I successfuly built a debian package with no errors. However pbuilder and my ppa upload does not copy files to /opt/ directory. I have the following tree:
├── opt
│   └── myDir
│       └── myfile
└── DEBIAN
    ├── control
    ├── postinst
    └── preinst   and many more ....

I have created the template using dh_make and edited postinst, copyright, control etc.
I thought /opt will be automatically cloned to my /opt upon installation. This is the case when I build my package using debuild -us -uc and install that package using dpkg -i, but unfortunately does not happen when I check the output of pbuilder or my ppa. Only an empty build directory in /opt/myDir is created. I am willing to give any more information in case needed. Any guidance is appreciated.

A: *

*Probably you are using a custom build location, so debian helper couldn't figure out automatically where are the files.

*DEBIAN?!!! in capital that mean this is a binary Debian package, Are you sure this is pre-built binary. Otherwise rename it to debian  or recheck documentation.

*If you don't want changing build rules for files location. Write a  debian/<packagename>.install file which map each folder or file (in build tree) to the correct location for installation. For example, if you want to copy the source-package/opt to /opt after installation, the contents of this file should be

Downtown Greenville, SC is a gem. With tree-lined streets and a plethora of green space, the city is a magical oasis in the South Carolina Upstate. Joanna and Alex's Wyche Pavilion wedding was an elegant affair located in the heart of downtown.
The pavilion sits off Main Street along the banks of the Reedy River. Due to its lush lawn and surrounding cityscape, the open-air brick pavilion exudes an unassuming elegance and grandeur. The couple softened their reception space with cascading drapery, chandeliers laden with greenery, and stylish tables.
Because Joanna and Alex knew they and their guests would want to party, they were selective in their choice of wedding band. Rhythm Nation, a 10-piece band out of Atlanta, GA, was a natural choice due to the band's ability to excite and engage crowds with their vast repertoire of songs. Spanning multiple genres and decades, Rhythm Nation's set list is always full of crowd favorites and performed at a level that leaves audiences raving.
We love the images captured by Vesic Photography. How much fun are Joanna, Alex, and their family and friends having?! How much fun is Rhythm Nation having?! These images are the ECE Experience personified. Thank you, Vesic Photography, for sharing!

Mexican airline to offer flights from Mitchell to Guadalajara
Volaris to offer year-round direct service

Mexican airline Volaris will begin offering direct flights in March from Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee to Guadalajara, Mexico.
Volaris will offer the Milwaukee to Guadalajara service year-round.

"This is a big deal for Mitchell Airport, Milwaukee County, and the entire region," said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. "It's a very involved process to convince an international airline to invest its resources in a new market. This is great news for the rapidly growing Hispanic populations in Milwaukee and northern Illinois. The Guadalajara nonstop will also benefit the recently-opened Mexican Consulate in Milwaukee."
Volaris is a low-cost carrier headquartered in Mexico City, and is Mexico's second-largest airline.
Its Milwaukee flights will operate two days per week on Airbus A320 aircraft. The nonstop flights to Guadalajara begin on March 3 and will operate every Wednesday and Friday, departing Milwaukee at 12:32 a.m. and arriving in Guadalajara at 5:02 a.m. Return flights begin March 2 and will depart Guadalajara every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:53 p.m. and arrive in Milwaukee at 8:55 p.m.
Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco, Mexico, which is a sister state to Wisconsin. At approximately 4.2 million, the Guadalajara metropolitan area is the second-largest in Mexico.
"The new nonstop to Guadalajara will make travel to Mexico much easier and quicker for travelers from across Wisconsin, including Madison, the Fox Valley, and Green Bay," Mitchell International airport director Izzy Bonilla added. "The ability to fly nonstop to Guadalajara will increase trade opportunities with Mexico and provide better options for families to connect with loved ones. We look forward to a long partnership with Volaris at MKE."
Abele thanked U.S. Senators Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, for assisting with arrangements to add new international service to Mitchell International.
"I am always pleased to see more options for Wisconsinites traveling for business or pleasure," said Johnson. "The cooperation between Mitchell International, Milwaukee County and U.S. Customs and Border Protection that enabled this development will serve Wisconsin well in any future expansions of international service from Milwaukee. Wisconsin businesses benefit from better access to customers in world markets. Customs agent staffing is crucial for providing foreign travelers with direct access to Wisconsin. I am pleased to have played a role in bringing that about."

[caption id="attachment_128048" align="alignright" width="380"] Mitchell International Airport. - Curtis Waltz (www.aerialscapes.com) photo.[/caption] "This is a big deal for Mitchell Airport, Milwaukee County, and the entire region," said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. "It's a very involved process to convince an international airline to invest its resources in a new market. This is great news for the rapidly growing Hispanic populations in Milwaukee and northern Illinois. The Guadalajara nonstop will also benefit the recently-opened Mexican Consulate in Milwaukee." Volaris is a low-cost carrier headquartered in Mexico City, and is Mexico's second-largest airline. Its Milwaukee flights will operate two days per week on Airbus A320 aircraft. The nonstop flights to Guadalajara begin on March 3 and will operate every Wednesday and Friday, departing Milwaukee at 12:32 a.m. and arriving in Guadalajara at 5:02 a.m. Return flights begin March 2 and will depart Guadalajara every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:53 p.m. and arrive in Milwaukee at 8:55 p.m. Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco, Mexico, which is a sister state to Wisconsin. At approximately 4.2 million, the Guadalajara metropolitan area is the second-largest in Mexico. "The new nonstop to Guadalajara will make travel to Mexico much easier and quicker for travelers from across Wisconsin, including Madison, the Fox Valley, and Green Bay," Mitchell International airport director Izzy Bonilla added. "The ability to fly nonstop to Guadalajara will increase trade opportunities with Mexico and provide better options for families to connect with loved ones. We look forward to a long partnership with Volaris at MKE." Abele thanked U.S. Senators Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, for assisting with arrangements to add new international service to Mitchell International. "I am always pleased to see more options for Wisconsinites traveling for business or pleasure," said Johnson. "The cooperation between Mitchell International, Milwaukee County and U.S. Customs and Border Protection that enabled this development will serve Wisconsin well in any future expansions of international service from Milwaukee. Wisconsin businesses benefit from better access to customers in world markets. Customs agent staffing is crucial for providing foreign travelers with direct access to Wisconsin. I am pleased to have played a role in bringing that about."

Never has a Japanese designer been as internationally acclaimed as Issey Miyake whose career has spanned well over forty years. In the "MIYAKE ISSEY EXHIBITION: The Work of Miyake Issey," an explosive exhibition of the designer's unaccountable masterpieces covering four decades of innovative experiments in design, currently running at The National Art Center, Tokyo until June 13, 2016, we understand Miyake's steadfast adherence to liberation, comfort, lightness, pleasure, and constant discovery of novel printing and manufacturing techniques, materials and concepts for wrapping the body simplistically and aesthetically.
Opening the exhibition in Room A is a long, single file of dressed bodies from Miyake's 1970s collections. The era should be a crucial point in Miyake's career as it also marks the establishment of the Miyake Design Studio in 1970. After studying Graphic Design at Tama Art University, Tokyo, Miyake moved to Paris in 1965 and attended the school of haute couture. The Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and Expo '70 in Osaka had just given birth to a microcosm of opportunities and challenges for attaining a "better" lifestyle for the Japanese, and for Issey Miyake, these monumental events paved the route to an ideology of expressing Japanese culture to the world that before then had been quite difficult for Japanese to discuss.
Each body in this section is a visible representation of a rising freedom of expression in aesthetics and development of various printing and manufacturing processes in fashion technology both in Japan and abroad. "Tattoo" is an exemplary model of this tendency, illustrating hippie portraits of Jim Hendrix and Janis Joplin in a Japanese-patterned tattoo design on the back of a one-piece cotton jersey bodysuit; the "Tanzen" piece employs a straight-cut weft double weave method in Japanese kihachijo plaid pattern—both maintaining Miyake's deep consideration of the traditional Japanese identity. Miyake had also begun to work with various artists, such as Tadanori Yokoo, and foreign collaborators from Italy and other countries—an active teamwork that speaks of the master's open-minded fusion of East and West.
Perhaps, Miyake's most ingenious approach to fabric application is the "A Piece of Cloth" concept that creatively converts one single fabric into a piece of clothing. The result produces body, texture and depth in what is often referred to as the clever wrapping of the three-dimensional human body with a two-dimensional cloth in the simplest and most comfortable mode. It allows a submissive sense of freedom between the body and the fabric, and between space and the mind, tempting one to wear the dress on the very spot.
Finally, a universe of beauty erupts in the last section, Room C of the exhibition that highlights collections from the second half of the 1980s to the present. We see immense dynamism in the adaptation of the pleated clothes (Cicada, Bamboo, Mutant, Border, Seaweed, and more) from one-piece dresses, skirts, trousers, to robes and jackets, and the pleating process technique; A-POC woven jeans, and the 132 5. project of foil print folded clothing shaped into algorithms of pentagons, hexagons and spherical forms. The idea of this project (1=single fabric; 3=3-dimensional form; 2=3D material folded into 2-dimensional shape; 5=5th dimension that evolves from multiple encounters with people who wear these clothes) stemmed from Miyake's conscious need to explore recycled materials with the aid of computer scientist Jun Mitani's mathematical solutions for transforming a single sheet of paper into a potpourri of various three-dimensional shapes. Apparently, the folding technique has always been inherent in Japanese tradition—in the kimono, origami, folded paper in Shinto shrines, and gift wrapping, which makes Miyake's designs utterly timeless and intimate to human sensation.
With special gratitude to The National Art Center, Tokyo, Miyake Design Studio and Jun Kanai.

Physical inactivity is a common factor in lifestyle diseases - and one that is often linked to the excessive consumption of fatty and/or sugary foods. The opposite scenario of excessive physical activity at the expense of caloric intake can also be harmful, as cases of anorexia nervosa illustrate. These data therefore point to the crucial need to research the neurobiological processes that control the respective motivations for exercise and food intake. A study by Inserm and CNRS researchers published on March 7, 2019 in JCI Insight reveals that the cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors play an essential role in the choice between running and eating chocolatey food.
The authors of this paper had previously reported that the cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) receptors, present on several types of neurons, play a key role in performance during physical activity in mice. A conclusion based on the performances achieved by animals with free access to an exercise wheel - a model in which it was not possible to distinguish the mechanism involved (motivation, pleasure...). Given that the motivation for a reward can only be estimated by measuring the efforts that the individual - whether human or animal - is prepared to make to get that reward, the researchers devised a model in which each access to the wheel was conditional on a prior effort. This involved the animal repeatedly introducing its snout into a recipient, an essential prerequisite for unlocking the wheel. After a training period during which the level of effort required to unlock the wheel remained the same, the mice were confronted with a test in which the effort required was gradually increased. When exposed to this test, the mice lacking CB1 receptors showed an 80 % deficit in the maximum effort they were prepared to make to unlock the wheel, and without a decrease in performance during their access to it. This finding indicates that the CB1 receptors play a major role in controlling motivation for exercise. The use of other genetically-modified mice also enabled the researchers to demonstrate that these CB1 receptors controlling motivation for exercise are located on GABAergic neurons.
The researchers then examined whether the CB1 receptors in the GABAergic neurons control the motivation for another reward: chocolatey food (like humans, mice love it even when they are otherwise well-fed). While the CB1 receptors also play a role in motivation for food - albeit to a lesser extent than in motivation for exercise - the CB1 receptors located on the GABAergic neurons are not implicated in the motivation for eating chocolatey food.
In our daily life, we are faced with an ongoing choice between various rewards. A fact which has encouraged the researchers to develop a model in which following a learning period the mice had the choice - in return for the efforts described above - between exercise and chocolatey food. The motivation for exercise was greater than that for chocolatey food, with the exception of the mice lacking CB1 - whether generally or just on GABAergic neurons - whose preference was for the food.
In addition to these findings indicating that the cannabinoid receptor is essential for the motivation for exercise, this study opens up avenues for researching the neurobiological mechanisms behind pathological increases in this motivation. One illustration is provided by anorexia nervosa which often combines the decreased motivation to eat with an increased motivation to exercise.

Halcyon Nights, NH Chamber of Delights
by Susan Miron
July 24, 2015 by Susan Miron
The New Hampshire-based Halcyon Music Festival opened its second season Thursday night in high style. Under the sage musical leadership of artistic director and pianist Heng-Jin Park, this two-week event event aims to provide first-class chamber music for otherwise underserved towns of New Hampshire. The participants all live in University of New Hampshire dorms, and play a huge amount of repertoire over the course of seven concerts in a mere 14 days. The concerts have titles reminiscent of those deployed at the Newport Music Festival: last night's was "Distant Journeys"; others have included "Madness and Ecstasy," "Delights in Durham," "Slavic Night", etc. Had my journey to the lovely Phillips Church in Exeter been shorter, I would have planned on attending many of the concerts. The concept of players living in one place and mixing seasoned musicians with much younger ones recalls Marlboro, of course. The programming, the excellence, and the enthusiasm of performers and audience alike make Halcyon a valuable summer series, well worth the trek.
The opening number could not have been chosen or played better. Hornist Abel Pereira (principal of the National Symphony Orchestra) and Heng-Jin Park performed Schumann's Adagio and Allegro with spirit and elegance. Schumann had a fondness for horn, and also wrote a Concert Piece for Four Horns and Orchestra, sketched at about the same time the Adagio and Allegro was finished. The first work by a major composer written specifically for the valve horn, it also exists in arrangements for other instruments and turns up regularly on viola student recitals. Its three-octave range and numerous technical demands perhaps account for its being rarely programmed, but these two performed it wonderfully.
On a small budget, frills (to some) like professional program notes have to be eliminated. That was no problem at the concert's beginning when Park introduced the Schumann, as she is poised, smart, and experienced at this sort of thing. It's an art to speak coherently and charmingly from the stage, and she does it well. Other players spoke before the other two pieces with somewhat less success. After the Schumann, the audience was thrilled to hear more horn, the Mozart Horn Quintet, a delicious underplayed piece with a sublime Andante. (The Brahms Horn Trio will be performed Friday night.)
The Mozart is a miniature horn concerto. What a great audition piece this would make! Pereira was the brilliant, agile, and exquisitely musical hornist. The superb violinist was Ayano Ninomiya, and Tatjana Mead Chamis and Tim Deighton the violists, with Loewi Lin, one of the founders of A Far Cry, the cellist. A standing ovation followed their fine reading.
Tchaikovsky's famed sextet, Souvenir de Florence, finished the program after an intermission where the musicians not playing the second half seated themselves in the audience. This was certainly one of the more collegial concert series I have attended. The Russian's four-movement work was played with great authority by Ben Sayevich, violin; Monica Pegis, violin; Tim Deighton and Robert Meyer, violas; and David Hardy and Alan Toda-Ambaras, cellos. Hardy was quite impressive in the big luscious solo lines, and ensemble work excellent
The Halcyon festival features different programs tonight at 7:30pm at St. John's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, and tomorrow, Saturday, same time and place. Tonight is Prokofiev's Sonata for two violins, Schumann's Piano Quintet in addition to the Brahms, and Saturday comprises Barrière's Sonata No. 10 for two cellos, Schubert's Fantasy in F minor for four hands, Ravel's Sonata for violin and cello, and the Mozart Dissonance String Quartet.
Splendid performances made for a memorable evening. I only wish I could hear more of hornist Pereira! Bravo to all, especially Park, who knows exactly how to run a good festival.

Etymology: Eptatretus: Greek, epta = seven + Greek, tretos, -e, -on = with holes (Ref. 45335); gomoni: Named for Martin F. Gomon, senior curator of fishes at Museum Victoria, Australia.
This species differs from all its congeners except four Indo-Pacific species (E. fernholmi, E. indrambaryai, E. okinoseanus and E. wisneri) by having 8 pairs of gill pouches and three-cusp multicusps on the anterior and two-cusp multicusp on the posterior rows of cusps. It differs from E. fernholmi in number of trunk pores (57-58 vs. 50), tail pores (14-15 vs. 9) and total pores (91-93 vs. 81); from E. indrambaryai in number of total cusps (50 vs. 45-48), trunk pores (57-58 vs. 45-50), tail pores (14-15 vs. 10-13) and total pores (91-93 vs. 77-82); from E. okinoseanus in number of total cusps (50 vs. 40-49), prebranchial pores (12-13 vs. 13-17) and tail pores (14-15 vs. 10-14); from E. wisneri by its number of anterior unicusps (10-11 vs. 9), total cusps (50 vs. 44), prebranchial pores (12-13 vs. 9-10), trunk pores (57-58 vs. 43-45) and total pores (91-93 vs. 73-75) (Ref. 85052).


"Went out for a simple meal with friends and were blown away at the quality of food and service we received. We started with the shared antipasto platter and then had crab pasta, rack of lamb, pork belly and chicken Kiev and we were all suitable impressed. Would definately return when visiting McLaren Vale."

I intend to implement intermediate mode for soundcard and sequencer and thus affecting what buffer is used. I hope to achieve better throughput by pre and post sync appropriate threads.
This means sequencer is read just one tic before audio processing.
Analogues, soundcard is output just after audio processing tic.
Since you can assign different sinks you should be able to specify during export multiple files. Each associated with a soundcard.


Gathering with friends gives us the gift of grace and God's presence. In my opinion, times of fellowship and gathering around the table are truly priceless. I love a good dinner party don't you? However, I love great conversation even more than a gourmet meal. The simple gift of gathering holds a special place in my life. Mostly, because we haven't always been the kind of family who sat for long drawn out conversations spilling over with laughter and deep thoughts. But, the older my children become, the longer we sit together after our meals. Probably because they've moved from adolescence to adulthood or something in between. I'm enjoying this season of life as an empty-nester. And, this year, I'm looking forward to our Christmas dinner with great anticipation.
Oftentimes, our expectations cloud our experience. Allowing our anticipation of an event to get out of control leads to unmet expectations and disappointment. Unfortunately, there are times we miss out on experiencing God as Emmanuel, God with us. And, in these times, we need the gift of grace to abound. Without a doubt, we never know the fullness of a gift until we've learned to live without it. We never fully understand what God's up to in our lives until we look back and find His handprints all over our stories. Occasionally, though, we experience a glimpse of His goodness shining through what we thought was our darkest hour.
Even still, God gave us the gift of Emmanuel, God with us.
A child was born so that a man could die. Before the foundation of the earth, God planned Christ's birth and death, and every single one of His days in between. In His infinite wisdom, God knew what we would need. Our greatest need would be a Savior, the Messiah.
The gift of His Son leaves us full of wonder and overwhelmed by joy. Emmanuel, God with us.
Before Christ was born on that silent, holy night, God already put a plan in place for the Resurrection that would bring us peace, hope, love, grace, and mercy. The gift of His Son leaves us full of wonder and overwhelmed by joy. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. The very presence of God inside us is the comfort needed to see us through our most disappointing experiences. God not only calls us 'friend,' but gathers us together with friends. Ultimately, our friendships help when we do not understand God's ways.
The gift of friendship, the kind of friends you break bread with, results in community. Not always in the natural, when distance separates us from those we love, but definitely in the supernatural we gather in spirit.
Through the gift of friendship, we break the bread and drink the wine of communion in our fellowship with one another.
Thankfully, friends walk through the most difficult of times together sharing their experiences and talking through their heartaches. On the Road to Emmaus, we see this occur just after Christ's death and resurrection. Still unsure if it could possibly be true, we find two friends doing life together. Unbeknownst to them, as they walk and talk about all the chaos in Jerusalem, Jesus meets them in their utter confusion. He steps right into the midst of their pain and walks alongside them as a stranger.
As they walked and talked about the Scriptures with Him, Jesus explained the prophecies He had fulfilled and reveals the truth of all that had been happening. Finally, when they sit down for a meal together, Jesus reveals Himself.
As soon as He broke the bread, they knew Him. Luke 24:31 says, at that moment, their eyes opened; wide-eyed, they recognized Him.
Amazingly, this happens in our everyday lives when we invest in the lives of others. In return, we get the gift of friendship. While we come alongside each other in the presence of the Lord, He does something remarkable. We receive the gift of grace and God's presence as Emmanuel, God with us, when we gather with friends.
By far, the gift of friendship is one of the sweetest gifts this side of heaven. My grandmother once told my husband, "If you have one, maybe two true friends in your life, you should consider yourself blessed." If you have more, consider yourself rich and maybe even spoiled. God loves to spoil us. After all, John 10:10 tells us Jesus came to give us life more abundantly. God brings us the gift of friendship at just the right moment and sweetly melds our hearts together in His presence. Two friends, one Savior, hearts set aflame.
Afterwards, Jesus appears to the group and explains to them the many prophecies and writings written about Him. Finally, they understand Jesus is the fulfillment of them all. At this point in Scripture, Jesus gives His disciples the many gifts they will need after He is gone. And, we receive these gifts when we come to a saving knowledge of Christ too.
Immediately, these gifts are ours for the keeping. The gifts of faith, hope, grace, mercy, Holy Spirit, love and peace.
He gathers them together and lifts his hands over them, blessing them in his love.
Astounded with wonder, overwhelmed with joy, they made their way home. Then, they spent their days praising and worshiping together. Y'all that's community at it's finest.
Truly, Jesus is all we need. He gave us everything we need as we wait for His glorious return. Likewise, when we see Jesus coming in the clouds, we'll be full of that same wonder and joy as those who witnessed His miraculous birth, resurrection, and ascension.
The gathering of friends is a gift. I hope you've enjoyed how God showed up and revealed to me the more of the gift of gathering where we share the gifts of HOPE, JOY, GRACE, MERCY, FAITH, WONDER, PEACE, and LOVE through the ultimate gift of the HOLY SPIRIT in our lives.
Father, our prayer for this Christmas season is a simple prayer thanking you for the gift of gathering, grace, and Your Presence, God.
As we celebrate the birth of Your Son and the coming of a new year, may we never lose the wonder of the gifts You've given to us in Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us.
Amy thank you for this beautiful post and a great reminder what Christmas is all about Jesus and being in his presence with Grace.His love is Amazing Grace.I appreciate you and your Love for God you are a light that helps guide me through my walk of faith.Love you girl!
Thanks Sydell! His presence is such a gift! You are so sweet to comment and thank you for your sweet words. Love you too!
