If you've ever wondered if new construction is the right fit for you. Or if building a custom home is even possible with your budget, then you're in luck. I'm breaking down the new construction building process for you AND telling you about how you can figure out once and for all if new construction is in your future.
There's no question that new home construction has become not only a popular road to home ownership but also a necessary part of expanding Rochester and surrounding communities. Owning a new home is an exciting opportunity that some pass up because they're intimidated by so many moving parts and decisions to make. Here is a closer look into the new construction process.
There may be some cost savings available to you if you carry your own construction loan. Talk to your lender about your options and ask if they have any special products specifically for new construction buyers.
Ask your Realtor, friends, and family for references and make sure the builders you're interviewing are licensed. You should ask each builder about their timeline; specifically how long it will take them to complete your new home. Asking if you can design your own plan or if you have to use theirs is important.
Along with that, ask what sub-contractors they use – you usually do not have a choice in which sub-contractors are used once you've committed to a builder. Ask to see their past work and past client testimonials. Most people are very proud and willing to speak about their new build; if you get kickback on this request, it could be a red flag.
The Rochester Area Builders Association has a very comprehensive list on their website of available lots that is updated quite frequently. However, most lots for sale aren't visible to the general public. Check out my post here on how to find lots for sale in Rochester. It's important when you're looking for lots to consider the type of home you'd like to build.
Certain types of homes require a specific type of lot and sometimes a particular lot cannot accommodate a certain type of home. For instance if you would like to build a home with a walkout basement you'll need a lot with a steep enough grade to accommodate that type of foundation. If your budget is tight you'll want to carefully consider how much excavation work the lot will require to even begin construction on the building.
Research the neighborhood covenants, rules, and regulations that are associated with this lot. Some neighborhoods will have square footage requirements, architectural committees, no fence policies, or rules against outbuildings just to name a few. This is very important to research, so you know any limitations you may encounter on future projects you might want to do.
Driving around desired neighborhoods. If you see a vacant lot without a for sale sign do not enter onto the property to explore. If you see neighbors outside ask them if they know the owner and if they'd be willing to share their contact information with you.
Rely on your Realtor to find lots for you. If you have already found a vacant lot but cannot find the owner, alert your Realtor. They will likely be able to find the owner of any vacant land within minutes.
The builder should provide a detailed spec sheet outlining every detail of the home, floor plan, how it's constructed, what materials are to be used, and what's included in the purchase price. Allowances are a big part of the spec sheet. They outline how much out of your total purchase price you can spend on certain areas of the home. It's a mini budget for each category including but not limited to: lighting, counter tops, flooring, and cabinets.
Once you have your allowances set with the builder you'll be able to write up your offer and go shopping for interior finishes like flooring, counter tops, and tile, (more on that later). It's important to have these allowances crystal clear and signed off on prior to writing your offer.
It's very common to go over budget on allowances but it should never be a surprise to you as to how much you've gone over. Make sure to fill out a work change order form each time you've gone over the allowances and have all parties sign off on it prior to any order of materials or install is scheduled.
Earnest Money/down payment amount and who holds it.
How you'll handle modifications/change orders.
Contracts can get complicated and that's all the more reason to have a licensed professional to explain it thoroughly and negotiate these terms on your behalf.
Yay! Your offer has been accepted and your builder is busy pulling necessary permits with the city before they can begin construction. Idle time in the new construction process is costly so you shouldn't sit back and relax during this time.
Get out to the preferred vendors that your builder or agent has recommended to you and start making your interior finish selections. Take photos, write down prices and item numbers, and ask for samples. Make your final decisions as quickly as you can and communicate those to your agent and builder.
Before we get into the process of construction it is important to note that any changes that you request after the construction has begun will most definitely delay your closing date and potentially add to your purchase price.
Make sure that you've made up your mind regarding floor plans, window and wall placement, and interior finishes prior to the start of construction. It is imperative to keep in close contact with the builder and your agent during the process to make any changes known or catch mistakes early!

Lynching of Jesse Thornton, 1940
On June 21st, 1940, farm manager and worker Jesse Thornton was lynched in Luverne, Alabama and the mob disposed of his body at an unknown location and it was discovered seven days later by a fisherman in the Patsaliga. The lynching began at a local barbershop when Thornton addressed a white police officer without the title of "mister", an act that was prohibited at the time. The violence and injustice that followed are representative of the violence that African Americans still felt during this era. No one was ever prosecuted for Thornton's murder.
This is the death certificate for Jesse Thornton.
On June 21, 1940, Jesse Thornton became a victim of racial violence when he was lynched by a mob in Luverne, Alabama, in Crenshaw County. Thornton was a well-liked member of the community, having lived there for five years with his wife Nellie May and worked as a manager of a local chicken farm. As Thornton was visiting a local Black barbershop with some friends, he had a brutal encounter with a police officer. Thornton along with a few of his friends were standing in front of the barbershop socializing when an officer by the name of Doris Rhodes walked by them. He said to his nearby friends "There comes Doris Rhodes, boys." In a rage, the officer asked Thornton to repeat himself. Thornton attempted to correct himself saying "Mr. Doris Rhodes." In a rage, the officer threw slurs at Thornton and accused him of referring to him by his first name, an act that was prohibited during this era. Infuriated, the officer attacked Thornton, knocking him to the ground, arresting him, and walking him to the local jail.
Once the officer and Thornton arrived at the jail cell, events quickly took a turn for the worse. While officer Rhodes was preparing to unlock the cell, Thornton hastily broke away and fled out of the building. However, he was soon met by a vicious mob awaiting him outside the jail. Thornton attempted to escape the mob by running but he was shot five times. After shooting him, the mob threw his body in the back of a pickup truck and drove him to a nearby location. His body was found a week later in the Patsaliga Creek by local fisherman Stephen Thompson. Town officials had African American prisoners build Thornton a crude casket, then buried him in the local Black cemetery, without notifying his wife. Forensic clues led the investigators to believe that Thornton was lynched.
The violence that the mob created was not limited to Thornton. After completing the lynching, the mob returned to the barbershop and asked where Thornton's wife could be found, pretending that the lynching had not occurred. Upon arriving at the home of Nellie Thornton, the members of the mob asked where Thornton could be found. When she insisted that he had gone downtown, the mob left and insisted that when they returned she "had better tell" where her husband had gone. The mob returned downtown to the office of Mayor T. McKing to discuss what had occurred and what to do next. On the Mayor's orders, the mob returned to Nellie Thornton's home and kidnapped her during the night. They kept her in the back of a pickup truck for practically the entire night and was told she would meet the same fate as her husband if she spoke to anyone about the kidnapping. Following this traumatic event, she refused to speak to anyone in the town, including Black residents for over a week.
Following the completion of the investigatory report by Dr. Charles J. McPherson, secretary of the NAACP's Birmingham branch, Thurgood Marshall, an attorney for the NAACP strongly urged the US Justice Department to launch an official investigation of the lynching. Marshall sent a letter to the Assistant AG John Rogge on August 13th, 1940. Marshall's letter emphasized that there was strong evidence of the local officer's involvement in the murder, which if proven, would constitute a violation of Section 52 of Title 18 of the United States Code. Rogge in turn sent a request to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to launch an investigation. Rogge stressed that the first phase of an investigation involving the police officers had to be done discreetly. He suggested that the special agents assigned to the case should interview every person who might have information before contacting the officers involved. However, to date, it is uncertain whether either agency proceeded with the steps required for prosecution in the case. At the time Hoover's FBI was not interested in pursuing complaints about civil rights.

With the now confirmed separation of oil and gas legislation from that of mining in the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, South African Oil & Gas Alliance (Saoga) CEO Niall Kramer says the prospects of South Africa entering the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and indigenous shale gas market appear positive.
Referring to the draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), Kramer mentions that, since the Minister of Energy Jeff Radebe has been appointed to this position, he has brought an enormous sense of certainty through publishing an evidence-led IRP.
Last month, Kramer told Engineering News that the "constipated" policy environment had been a problem in the past. "But now we need to develop readiness plans among which policy harmonisation, infrastructure planning, skills development and business readiness are crucial.
Saoga notes that indigenous exploration in South Africa was previously limited. "Now we see renewed interest and note Total's imminent return to South African waters as a very positive step. Recent technology developments in shale drilling and exploration technology, coupled with the need for South Africa to diversify its energy mix, had resulted in increased interest in exploration activity onshore and off South Africa's coast.
South Africa is unexplored and a high-risk environment, says Kramer. The first drills will be for data. "We need local South African geological data on which to make good decisions. We can't influence the geology but we can influence all the above ground conditions from policy attractiveness to readiness of skills and South African businesses to participate across the value chain.
Saoga has been keeping a close watch on the massive gas finds in Mozambique, which have the potential to double the size of the Mozambican economy. "If South African policy had been attractive enough, it is possible we could have had catalytic investments here by now. But we can only fix the future so let's get on with it," he urges.
Moreover, the large oil and gas conference held this month in Cape Town is also a positive indicator of progress in the oil and gas industry, especially considering the fact that attendance at the event is drastically up, which has been helped by the oil price, compared with last year. Acreage is being offered across Africa and South Africa needs to get into the investment stream.
"You can see the interest in Africa is significantly present. There are bidding rounds happening off this conference so countries like Ghana, Senegal and other North African countries would benefit. We should have been in this position by now," he points out.
As South Africa goes into President Cyril Ramaphosa's big investment drive, where the aim is for the energy sector to contribute 25% of a total target of $100-billion, it now has the attention of policy- makers and a window until 2023 to take advantage of an expanding gas market.

Bacolor is a crater in the Casius quadrangle of Mars, located at 33 North and 241.4 West.  in diameter, it is named after the municipality of Bacolor in Pampanga, Philippines.

The crater shows a double layer of ejecta. The inner layer came first. The impact's heat vaporized the ground and of course any ice where the meteorite struck. Shock waves spread outward from the impact point, smashing rocks and heaving the fragments skyward, along with steam and other hot gases. As the shock wave dug deeper, it excavated a bowl-shaped hole in the ground. A thick, probably hot, slurry of mud, water vapor, and rock fragments flew away from the growing cavity and fell to the ground, making the inner ejecta apron. The innermost portion of this layer covered the ground thickly and, near the crater rim, shows numerous signs of having flowed at least sluggishly.

...is an all inclusive ski trip to Club Med in Yabuli.
M'Lynn's been itching to go skiing since we moved to Harbin. "We're so close." she always says. And we are. We're only a short train ride from the best ski resort in China, Yabuli Sun Mountain. When she watched Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" show last year she wanted to go skiing all the more. We'll see if we actually make it over to the mountain to ski. There's no doubt we won't be staying at the resort, we'll just use the mountain and ski rentals.
French leisure group Club Med formally opens its first resort in China on Tuesday in the icy northeast, cashing in on a newfound love for winter sports among an increasingly wealthy middle class. Club Med is hoping to attract clients from across China, and even Southeast Asia, to its new village in Yabuli, which features 18 ski slopes -- and winter temperatures often below minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit). "Most of the industry is in decline. China is really the only place where the industry is growing," Justin Downes, a Canadian from the ski resort of Whistler who advises investors on the winter sports sector in China, told AFP. Club Med will also offer plenty of indoor winter pursuits such as karaoke and mah-jong for those not willing to brave the frigid Siberian winds. Chinese clients "are not keen on skiing eight hours a day. They want to have other things to do," Downes said.


Bremen, April 3rd, 2012 – After careful comparison and in-depth analysis, German owner Hansa Shipping together with Chinese shipyard Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding have decided to equip four new 4,800 TEU vessels with the German ballast water treatment technology CleanBallast® by RWO, a subsidiary of VeoliaWater Solutions & Technologies. The plants will be delivered during the course of 2012.
In addition to the CleanBallast® ballast water treatment systems, Hansa Shipping GmbH has decided to complete the water treatment system of the new vessels with further one-stop-shop solutions. For onboard sewage treatment, RWO'sWWT-LC plants will be installed, as well as its oilwaterseparators SKIT/S-DEB to ensure best results in treating oily water.
The type-approved CleanBallast® technology has been extensively tested in and designed for real-life conditions, which is an essential prerequisite in order to guarantee a rapid and reliable intake of ballast water. The efficient removal of the sediments also considerably lowers tank-cleaning costs, prevents the loss of valuable load capacities and furthermore leads to fuel savings.
Currently, 36 CleanBallast® systems have already been successfully put into commercial operation. The start-up of most of these units took place in China where they were tested with water from the Yangtze River, one of the most difficult ballast waters in the world.

During Science Week the science teachers organised science-related activities for all junior classes. First Years had a scavenger hunt around the school where they had to find an array of different things, ranging from a hairy plant leaf to a feather. A poster competition was organised for the Second Years. The brief: To inform us about a scientist of their choice, including their birthplace, their most important scientific work and the dates on which it was done. The posters are on display outside the Chemistry and Physics Labs. Third year students had to scan QR codes to find the symbol of an element from the Periodic Table and if they got it right a word would be revealed. Nine Sixth year students took part in the ISTA science quiz in the IT and although they didn't place, they acquitted themselves well and were a credit to their school. Well done!
The science department in the school is a very active one, reflecting the increasingly important role the sciences play in education and life today. Thanks to our dedicated science teachers for organising the Science Week activities.
This year our TY students entered the SciFest Science Fair held in Sligo IT. The SciFest programme aims to encourage a love of science, technology and maths through inquiry-based learning. Students are asked to present and display their scientific investigations, which cover a huge range of areas of interest. Three TY science projects from Sligo Grammar School entered and Callum Maguire received a "highly commended" for his project investigating "The Reflection of Light Off Wet and Dry Tarmac".
AND ANOTHER ONE FROM EARLIER IN THE TERM….
My rings are produced every year, just one, and how large it is tells a story of how that particular year was. Where I grow is where I stay, as I cannot pick up and move.Men cut me down to make their own homes, and creatures such as birds and squirrels live in me. When I shed my leaves they put nutrients into the ground which keep it fertile.
The new Junior Cycle science programme includes the study of space. To introduce this subject to our 1st and 2nd year students, the SGS Science Department organised a special "Earth and Space Day". "Sirius", a company formed scientists who had formerly worked in the Armagh Planetarium, visited the school and presented a 3D show exploring the many fascinating aspects of space. They discussed the importance and benefits of space exploration as well as the dangers associated with it. They also gave the students an idea of what the work of an astronaut is like. This subject is always a fascinating one for students and the 1st and 2nd years really enjoyed the presentation. Thanks to the scientists from "Sirius" for their show and lecture, and also thanks to our Science teachers who organised the visit.
The Junior science students had a lecture and demonstration about Maritime Ecology.
2016 17 was a busy year for our science students.
Junior Cert students have been busy this year doing a long list of experiments in biology, physics and chemistry. The written reports they do on these experiments will account for 10% of their JC science marks.
In the final term our Ty students took part in the SciFest competitions. This competition endeavours to encourage interest in all the sciences as well as in IT and Mathematics.
There were several groups from SGS taking part and they all found the experience to be very beneficial. Our Science teachers hope to enter SciFest again next year.
During February Senior students went to Sligo IT to hear about the life and achievements of Irish scientist Robert Boyle.
Paddy Bird from 5th Year has done the school proud as a prizewinner in the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition 2017. In the finals of the competition Paddy emerged with a fantastic third place overall in the senior individual category of his group – the Chemical, Physical and Technology Category. His project was to develop and produce a special filter incorporated with graphene to be used to purify contaminated water. The idea has great potential for use in countries around the world where water contamination is a serious issue. Paddy is hoping to further develop his idea – and maybe make a real contribution to humanity! Many thanks to Paddy's science teacher, Ms. Tiernan, for all her help and encouragement.
During Science Week our students were invited to solve some science problems which were posted around the school. Check the quiz out below.
And below are the winners of the quiz.
Earlier in the term Science students were also winners in the Senior Regional Science Quiz.. Well done to Enola Baravaeva, Jun Sung Jeon and Andrew Wood -Martin on their award.
In January the Leaving Cert Chemistry students went to NUI Maynooth to do their Leaving Cert experiments in the University Laboratories.


Wayhigh 101 is a cannabis dispensary in Coos-bay, Oregon.
Tomorrow $1 Grams are back!
Very good selection. Had the most selection out of anywhere I went and it's doesn't look like it would from looking at it. Awesome name and it had two dollar grams on top of everything. Got a free highway 101 lighter because I bought more than thirty worth of stuff. Great place with friendly staff, nothing to complain about.
Love this place! 2-10$/g. Huge selection. The Bud Tenders were super chill. Didn't mind my out-of-towner status, at all. Definitely recommend!
I'm happy that I found such a place with great prices. The employees are friendly. The quality is good. I also love the location. Even though it's on the other side of town. From me. I get a good walk. Getting over there. But it's worth it. $2 gram. Enough said.
Hands down the best dispensary I've been to in the whole country. The employees know the product in their store, they have fantastic choices of bud and concentrates. And even better prices. If only all my dispensary experiences were as good as the ones at way high 101.

Italy Flag is screen printed onto 100% woven polyester in clear, bold colours, our Italian Flags have a double stitched hem all around and a reinforced hem on the hanging side with 2 metal eyelets for hanging.
Italy Flag The flag of Italy (bandiera d'Italia, often referred to in Italian as il Tricolore [il trikoˈloːre]) is a tricolour featuring three equally sized vertical pales of green, white, and red, with the green at the hoist side. Its current form has been in use since 19 June 1946 and was formally adopted on 1 January 1948. Some have attributed particular values to the colours, and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snow-capped Alps; and red, blood spilt in the Wars of Italian Independence and Unification.

Rome wasn't build in a day
During 2009 Nevenko and Nigel were given the idea of building a high ropes course on land just up from Nevenko's house by a German couple who were staying in Nigel's accommodation.Once the rental season was over then Nevenko Bulić and Nigel Simpson (plus Nevenko's son Marko), traveled to Wales and England experiencing the very best parks available.
Thanks to these parks for the photos/videos which we used to make our original compilation video.It was our aim to combine all the very best experiences and place them all here in Glavani village in the council of Barban, Istria for your adventure and enjoyment.We wanted to supply the very best in excitement, leisure and relaxation and we wish to feed and refresh you with our excellent local food, wines, rakias all produced naturally.We returned to Istria full of plans and ideas! It was November 2009 and we set our sights on opening for June 2011.
In December 2009 we had our architect design the park on our, already, urbanized land. Later in December the Barban council told us how excited they were by our plans and we put in for permission to expand our urbanized land and to change all the other land into "sports and recreation" land which will enable us to expand in the future.The real work begins!
The outlying land, currently registered as woodland, measures about 4 hectares, 10 acres, in total. We immediately started clearing all the scrub leaving the healthier and larger trees so that they can grow and in the future provide much needed shade, a haven for the birdlife, and to conserve the natural woodland.The land had huge piles of limestone rock on it and we spent days crushing this to use for roadways and pathways.
We needed the rock to be very dry for this and the wind had to be in the right direction to avoid covering the local village in dust! So we had to wait for the right times to crush.We were fortunate then to have a rock crushing machine (we later scrapped this to help pay for further construction of the park 2012), large diggers, front-loaders (JCB) and a large lorry. Huge amounts of work could be done by us which would normally have cost a great deal. Because we have so much land we also had a supply of materials which would normally have increased our outlay substantially.We were given well over 1000 small juniper trees in a nearby village which we were asked to remove as it is registered building land. We were busy sawing these down in the winter 2010(leaving the nicer trees and different varieties for future landscaping) and, after cleaning the bark off the stems, we had plenty of posts to use for all the fencing we required. This was a very laborious process but – better than paying for it!We also cut down 9 large oak trees which we took to the sawmill to make into planks.
This we seasoned for the spring and summer before being used to build the platforms for the high ropes games and for other purposes around the park. The logs from all the branches were used for a variety of purposes too. We have kept some 4 metre long 30 cm diameter branches for use as benches, posts, and carpentry. The sawn logs will be used for heating and for the barbecue which we plan to have for evening cooking for park guests.
Of course, sometimes it rains and we have to continue working. So we have a workshop with carpentry machines ready to make the childrens rides, climbing frames, tables, and so on…We started with some simple animals which are now on large springs so that the children bounce and wobble much to their parents delight.During 2010 we found a family who had some very big pine trees in their garden which they wanted removing for safety reasons and in order to build a house there in the future.
We cut these down ourselves and got them ready for transport.We soon realized that the standard straight lorry of the length required to transport the (upto) 20m pine trees for the posts would not be able to approach or move about on the land where the trees lay. We had to convert a large trailer to fit behind the lorry which we already had. This was the only way to take such long cargo back to the adventure park site.Fortunately, we had only a very small distance to travel and we were able to stop traffic at both ends of our journey so that the transporting was carried out very safely. We were able to load, transport and unload all the 32 trees in just 2 days.Talk about needing a lift!
All the posts were up and looking very high by the October of 2010! The team of constructors were going to be coming to Istria to put up all the platforms, wires and games in the next couple of weeks and we needed a way of getting them up the posts with the heavy oak planks! Usually, on trees, they are happy to climb with ropes and do all the work in their harnesses, however, these "trees" have no branches, no rough bark, are smoother with the preservative and the oak is definitely a lot heavier than the fir wood they are used to using.So, as is usual for Nevenko and Nigel, it was agreed to build a "lifting platform".
It had to be a lot cheaper than having to hire one, we thought, plus we would be able to use it again and again in the future!Of course, Nevenko, the engineer, knew how to make it and as time went on the plan got even better as we could put the platform on the back of the old lorry he still had. And, the hydraulic piston on the lorry could lift one half of the platform whilst the second piston he had in his garage could be used to lift the second half.So all the steel required was bought in Pula along with two lifting motors and work began.The welding of the two six metre long "arms" and of the "platform" was very quick and efficient.
Two coats of paint were applied. The lorry was brought back to life and driven close to the electric point as soon as the container was removed. We had a week to go before the arrival of Charles and his workers, the constructors of the high ropes and games for our "Glavani Park."And then the problems began. Actually there was only one problem but it was a big one. The second piston half way up the lifting platform required the steelwork to be immensely strong and the angles very precise. When the platform was brought down in order for us to move the lorry from post to post we needed an angle of approx 30 degrees between the arms. When fully extended the angle is, of course, 180 degrees.
This is a large arc for one piston and presented a big challenge.The team arrived and started preparing and cutting all the oak planks into the 33 platforms, they cut up loads of the juniper we had earmarked for the fencing to use them for games, they prepared and cut all the lengths of wires for the games and zip wires.All the time Nevenko and Nigel worked on the lifting platform. Unfortunately the team became ready for the platform before the correct strength and lifting angles had been successfully found! The team returned to their homes in Montenegro and would return once we succeeded.
Perseverance brings success!
It took ten days of extreme determination and a conviction that we would succeed to finally get this lifting platform to pass the tests we had set it in order to allow the team to use it. Please watch the video to understand the scale of the challenge. The final maximum height of the platform is nearly 14 metres, over 40foot!Up we go!
Charles and his team returned from Montenegro one week later, witnessed first hand the stringent tests we applied for the lifting platform, agreed that they would use it for their assembling of the platforms and started!Unfortunately the weather was atrocious for the first two days with seemingly never ending rain but we all worked through it.
Maybe the resulting mud for the next five days was even worse!Little more can be said except for a huge thanks to Charles and his hard-working Montenegrin employees. All the wires and platforms were erected within the "spider's web" construction area within the week and we even got to put up the tower posts either end of the line of olives so that when Charles returned in the new year we could construct the huge towers and suspend the 113 metre zip line between them, stretched over the top of the olives!
So Nigel, for the new year was hard at work cutting more oak planks for these platforms and Nevenko was busy clearing all the land of machines, stored (for years) materials and leveling the "mud" so that, once the land dried, we could landscape the park, fence off all the areas for safety and security and, once we had insurance and "European standards Certificate" we could start to "use" our park!We also had to erect our first fence around the 2 metre high platforms area where the steps up to the higher platforms were also found.
We would use "the church of st. germany", our entrance gate constructed by our German friends, as part of this fence. This finally was taken down in September 2014 as it had become "ugly" and out of place but we will never forget that it was because of our German friend that the park existed!

Credit, Where It's Due
Published in The Catholic Thing on April 30, 2020
By Stephen P. White
Like most everyone else, I have spent the last several weeks almost entirely at home, except for the occasional trip out for various sorts of supplies. When the weather permits, I can escape the basement utility room that serves as my temporary home office and go outside. I have been blessed in my confinement. I have a yard, a healthy family to share it with, and a garden to potter about in. Still, on rainy days when the kids are bouncing off the walls and the house seems even smaller than it is, I have more than once felt like I was among the refugees trapped in the opening scenes of Casablanca as I wait . . . and wait . . . and wait.
The pandemic isn't the only thing that has us waiting these days. The release of the Vatican's long-promised McCarrick Report has been "imminent" – in varying interpretations of that word – for at least five months now. There were rumors that it was on the verge of release last month, but the blossoming pandemic seems to have put the kibosh on that.
Some saw the delay in a cynical light. Rome was using the pandemic as an excuse to punt on a report it would rather not have to release, or so the argument goes. Then again, releasing the McCarrick Report just as the whole world was descending into social and economic deep-freeze, and with the media's attention consumed elsewhere, could have been interpreted just as cynically as punting. Whatever Rome's reasons – cynical, wholesome, of otherwise – we wait.
Waiting patiently (or impatiently, as the case may be) has been part of this crisis in our Church for decades. It is an interesting subject for spiritual reflection to ponder the tension between zeal for genuine reform, on the one hand, and patience with the frustrating pace of renewal on the other. A great deal of damage has been done to the Church by those who were impatient for reform, and a lot of evil has befallen the Church because the faithful were too timid or complacent or deferential.
I've been thinking a lot lately about this tension between action and patience – and the blessings and pitfalls of each. It has brought to mind three particular groups of people and organizations, whose actions have sometimes been, taken in isolation, very damaging to the Church. But the actions of these same groups have often, over the long term, been a strong force moving the Church in the right direction. I'm thinking of the media, the lawyers, and the victims' advocacy groups.
Anyone who remembers 2002, knows the pivotal role the media (especially print media) played in uncovering the abuse – and the cover-up of abuse – in the United States, especially in Boston. The movie "Spotlight" won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2016. It showed the tenacity of the investigative reporters at the Boston Globe, finally giving a voice to the victims of clerical sexual abuse.
But 30 years earlier, when Jason Berry was writing articles exposing the predations of Fr. Gilbert Gauthe for the local paper in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, it wasn't so obvious to the public that the journalist was the one telling the truth, let alone the hero of the story.
I've never been shy about criticizing the National Catholic Reporter, but that publication deserves credit for covering clerical sexual abuse back when many Catholics saw such coverage as an attack on the Church.
The media gets a lot of things about the Catholic Church wrong. Some journalists simply have an axe to grind. Some are agenda-driven or despise the Church. Some loathe celibacy, or the Church's defense of the unborn, or her "homophobia" and "misogyny." All the usual caveats apply. Still, it is undeniable that, aggressive, tenacious, and sometimes (yes) even vicious media coverage, has pushed the institutional Church to address profound problems it was too often content to ignore or deny
And then there are the lawyers. Some attorneys have raked in hundreds of millions of dollars suing the Catholic Church. As Peter Steinfels showed (definitively, in my mind) last summer in Commonweal, attorneys general are not above using the abuse crisis as a political tool or to whip up a frenzy of resentment against the Catholic Church. Driving dioceses into bankruptcy for crimes committed by long-dead priests and covered up by long-dead bishops is not obviously just. But is there any doubt that the fear of financial calamity has been a powerful motivator for a generation (or more) of bishops who seemed to care more about their institutional legacy – the patrimony of the faithful – than about the safety of the souls (and bodies) of the faithful?
And then there are the victims' advocacy groups – Bishop Accountability, Spirit Fire, SNAP – the list is long. Some of these people have been thorns in bishops' sides for decades and decades. Some of them have been a font of grace and healing. Most of them have been both. Here, too, like in most of the Church, we find a mixed bag: saints and crackpots, activists and heretics, survivors and zealots, and people who just want to help or are looking for a helping hand. Many of these groups have been the only source of solidarity for people who were once abused, dismissed and cast away.
The point here is not simply to show that there's a mix of good and bad in all of us. That's trite at best, Manichean at worst. Rather, the point is that if we really take seriously the truth that all things work for good for those who love God, two things are sure: we ought to be very, very grateful . . . and incredibly humble.
Even as we wait.

Japan's current account surplus down 15.8% on weak China exports
Online: Jul 08, 2019
The current account surplus tumbled 15.8 percent in May to ¥1.59 trillion as exports to China declined amid U.S.-China trade tensions, according to government data released Monday.
The surplus in the current account, one of the widest gauges of international trade, fell for the third consecutive month but marked the 59th straight month of black ink, a preliminary report by the Finance Ministry said.
Among key components, Japan posted a goods trade deficit of ¥650.9 billion amid weak exports to China and South Korea, although the goods trade surplus with the United States expanded, a ministry official said.
Exports fell 6.3 percent from a year before to ¥5.92 trillion due to sluggish demand for semiconductor manufacturing devices in China and South Korea and auto parts in China, the official said.
Imports fell 0.9 percent to ¥6.57 trillion, reflecting a decline in shipments to Japan of liquefied natural gas.
Japan's long-running surplus in the current account has been helped by solid income from foreign investments. Primary income, which reflects returns on overseas investments, registered a surplus of ¥2.26 trillion, down 5.9 percent.
Service trade, which included cargo shipping and passenger transportation, logged a surplus of ¥137.2 billion.
The travel surplus stood at ¥230.5 billion, the highest on record for the month of May, supported by the influx of foreign travelers to Japan, which rose 3.7 percent from a year earlier to 2.77 million.
The surplus grew 5.3 percent, even though around 1.44 million Japanese went abroad in May, up 3.9 percent from a year earlier, as part of this year's special 10-day Golden Week holiday period from late April to early May to mark the imperial succession.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's softer side appears as she picks up the batterie de cuisine and tackles saving a restaurant from certain death. When it looks like Amanda's career is about to end as a chef, an angel appears in her life and gives her some sage advice about looking for a door that will open when another one closes. As the chef of a failing 70 year-old restaurant, the Southern Cross, she only has her loyal clientele who are not there for the food.
To say she is adorable as a chef is an understatement. She appears in a variety of fashionable outfits and weaves a sweet innocent spell on the viewer. Worth watching to see Sarah dressed up in a variety of outfits and different hairstyles.
There are also scenes of outdoor markets, beautiful orchids and of course restaurant scenes, Sarah shopping, cooking and crawling about on the floor chasing after magical crabs all to romantic music.
Instead of slaying vampires, "Buffy" bewitches Tom Bartlett (Sean Patrick Flanery) and entices love right into her life through cooking a variety of gourmet dishes. If every man has his weakness, Tom's weakness is luscious cuisine.
As every kitchen sorceress has discovered, the right food can create the right mood and can invite happiness and love into your life. I loved the dance scene and the scene where Tom and Amanda disappear into the scented mist. This movie emphasizes the aphrodisiac qualities of food.
Amanda Shelton (Sarah) only discovers her true cooking talents after meeting Tom. At first she seems unaware of her current fate while Tom seems to be trying to control his fate. He is disturbed by his lack of emotional control and when he falls "in love" with Amanda, his world seems to be spinning out of control.
Is it love that makes Amanda a better cook and makes her cooking taste even better to Tom? Are their senses in a state of heightened awareness from the chemicals rushing through their bodies or is there magic floating about? Once she finds a recipe for caramel éclairs, Tom is even more attracted to her.
There are very few movies about cooking or chefs so this one is a treat. Tear drops in the food reminded me of Like Water for Chocolate. The emotions Amanda feels are somehow magically mixed into the food she is cooking. Either the dishes make people cry, stun them or make them lose their inhibitions. She seems to have a magical gift for culinary creations that have an effect on anyone who consumes them.
Is the orchid plant in this movie the "Oncidium Sharry Baby?" It did look similar, although I can't say for sure. Some people say it has a fruity vanilla scent and not really a chocolate scent. Most types of vanilla do not produce the vanilla beans. If you wanted to cook with flowers, you would want to make sure that the flowers you added to your cooking were edible. Orchid flowers are apparently edible.
Vanilla beans are the cigar-shaped seed pods from a climbing orchid and the pods must be picked, boiled and heated in the sun. It literally takes months to produce the delicious vanilla flavor. It actually takes 100 beans to make 1 gallon of vanilla extract. If you love vanilla extract, you might also enjoy: Fiori di Sicilia flavoring for your baking.
After watching this movie you may want to feed your lover oranges, invest in some expensive vanilla extract, get lost in a kiss or cook up some bliss. If you are looking for the best vanilla for your cooking, Bourbon-Madagascar vanilla is superior.
Deliciously cute, silly spells, sweet innocent love and a few hot and steamy kissing scenes in the kitchen. For romantics and lovers of kitchens and cuisine. Almost a culinary Cinderella story.

While North Mayo's spectacular coastline is a thing of major beauty, the areas off the Wild Atlantic Way are just as stunning. Nephin's Haven, encompassing the small and welcoming communities of Moygownagh, Keenagh, Eskeragh, Lahardane, Kilfian, Ardagh & Crossmolina itself is an area blessed with stunning mountain ranges, wild, desolate bogland, rivers and lakes rich in angling bounty, historical ruins and most of all, a welcome so warm, you'll want to keep returning. MayoNorth.ie has worked with the Crossmolina Tourism Group and Mayo.ie to compile the following list of twelve things to do in Crossmolina and surrounding areas, based on the best of local knowledge!
1. One of the greatest things to do in Crossmolina – absorb the breath-taking vista from Nephin Mór!
The ultimate way to truly see North Mayo!
Be captivated by the peace and freshness of nature as you climb Nephin Mór, Connacht's most majestic mountain. Soothe your soul, clear your mind and enjoy connecting to this the earliest of landscapes. The Nephin Beg Range is also a hikers' delight with many other climbs of varying difficulty.
Getting there: Travel from Crossmolina to Lahardane on the R315. Turn right at the 50km sign. Continue for 4km to the parking spaces on the right. Cross the road and continue towards the forest for an enjoyable, challenging climb. Tel: +353 (0) 96 30935 or email info@crossmolina.ie if you need help.
Talk a walk along the Town Trail, River Bank, or one of the four country lane & woodland loop walks. The Gortnor Abbey (White Arrow, 4km) Grange Walk (Blue Arrow, 6km), Deel Castle (Yellow Arrow, 11km), and the Enniscoe House Loop Walk (Purple Arrow 3km), all take you along tranquil farmlands, country lanes and woodlands.
Be captivated by spectacular scenery and remote wilderness with panoramic views of heavenly valleys, vegetation, and clear streams along the 11.5km Keenagh Loop Walk. You can also try the Letterkeen Forest Walk, the Drumleen Loop Walk or the 25km Sheskin Walk (Western Way) towards Ballycastle.
Look at the stars, see how they shine for you at Letterkeen Bothy in the Wild Nephin Wilderness Area in Wild Nephin Ballycroy National Park, host to the most exceptional of dark skies and stunning nightscapes. It has been designated as a viewing site for astronomers following the Ballycroy National Park's 'Gold Tier International Dark Sky Park' award.
Hire a boat and picnic on one of the many lake islands or have fun on jet skis. Children can paddle contentedly at the pier, an ideal spot for photography with a serviced toilet facility and two caravan parking bays. Marvel at the preservation of the 7th century Errew Abbey on the banks of the lake.
Anglers of all abilities can trawl over Lough Conn which is well-known for its brown trout, sea trout and salmon fishing. Annual competitions attract national and international anglers. Hire a gillie via Cloonamoyne Fisheries.
Enniscoe House is one of Crossmolina's greatest surprises. The old Georgian house has been in the same family since the 1790s, and is a busy, functioning guesthouse and restaurant with a unique flower garden and organic vegetable garden.
The Mayo North Heritage Centre is based in the grounds alongside a well-equipped museum of local artefacts. Why not relax with a cuppa in its pretty café, or savour a variety of organic produce?
Due to the amazing efforts of the local community, Lahardane is rewarded with a permanent monument to 14 locals who sailed on the ill-fated Titanic in 1912. 11 perished. A stop-off to read their incredible story in Addergoole Titanic Village is a must. Give yourself time to visit the church where two stained-glass windows are dedicated to the memory of the lost, and see the churchyard bell that tolls every April 15th between 2am and 3am.
Enjoy a delicious, hearty meal in Hiney's Bar & Restaurant or in O'Malley's Bar & Grill, washed down with a local craft beer. Grab a light lunch or some divine cakes in the Tea Rooms or River Cafe or something more exotic from the tasty Dragon Palace. Stop by the deli counters in Munnelly's, Hiney's or Mulherin's for a picnic to go.
You can sample our local craft beers produced right in the town by the Reel Deel Brewing Company in a variety of pubs whilst listening to local artists, or trying your luck at cards or darts.
Visit the Nephin Whiskey Company at the foot of Nephin Mountain on the shores of Lough Conn in Lahardane village, 8km from Crossmolina. Meet the Nephin team who will be delighted to show you their distillery plans and guide you around the village to see the barley and the turf.
Football of all sorts abounds in Crossmolina. Witness the passion and dedication long associated with our native sport, Gaelic Football. A competitive GAA game in the home of Crossmolina Deel Rovers on the Ballina Road is one of the must-dos on the list of things to do in Crossmolina and can't be missed! All games are advertised on-site – drop in and check out the local talent and skills.
Equally talented are the soccer teams; Crossmolina FC's ground is located in Abbeytown and you will receive a warm welcome there.
Enjoy a live session in Crossmolina's lively pubs, or take in a fantastic night of cultural entertainment at Atlantic Rhythm Productions, just outside Crossmolina, where a young and energetic group performs a unique mix of all that is loved in our Irish heritage of traditional arts, song, dance, and drama.
The River Deel is alive with rare species of freshwater crayfish and pearl mussels. It has amazing biodiversity, plant and bird life and flows – sometimes menacingly—through the town from its source high in Nephin to the shore of Lough Conn. Many groups Kayak or paddle along, discovering the excitement of the alternative view from the water.

Eruption of Mount Pelee, 1902
Bible-exposition.com:
At the beginning of this century, the French island of Martinique was a prosperous colony in the Caribbean and was known as the Paris of the West Indies. The capital St. Pierre had a population of some 30,000 and lay at the foot of Mount Pelée, an old dormant volcano. During 1902, boiling water and steam were seen erupting from the crater and on April 25th, a scientific expedition was sent up to investigate. The island's newspaper, Les Colonies published the findings and told the inhabitants that there was no reason to be afraid.
However, some individuals began to get worried, but were mocked by various editorials of the newspaper. Day by day, life became unbearable on the island. A hideous odour of sulphur filled the air and birds dropped out of the air asphyxiated by the ash and sulphur.
By May 3rd businessmen and prudent individuals moved to the Southern part of the Island. However, the newspaper continued to mock, and on May 7th it published an interview with Professor M. Landes which read, "Mont Pelee presents no more danger to the inhabitants of St. Pierre than does Vesuvius to those of Naples." The Newspaper added, "We confess we cannot understand this panic. Where could one be better off than in St. Pierre?"
On the morning of May 8th, at 7:52 AM exactly, the Volcano erupted and exploded. There was no warning as the side of the mountain ripped out. Super heated steam at a temperature of 1000 degrees Centigrade blasted out at hurricane speed obliterating the whole town and incinerating 30,000 people. Only two men survived the destruction, a prisoner, who was in the town dungeon and a cobbler who hid in his cellar.
How like many in the world today who treat God like an extinct volcano. They doubt His existence, mock at the thought of hell and judgment, laugh at the Bible, and continue in their sinful ways, all the while neglecting the salvation of their souls.
The Bible tells us:
"the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1).
The good news of the gospel message is that you can be saved from the wrath to come by hiding in Christ. He bore the judgment of God against sin, when He died upon the cross. He rose again from the dead and is in heaven today. He is a refuge for sinners who put their faith in Him. To neglect Christ is to put yourself in danger for God will judge this sinful world. The Bible warns us "Be not deceived, God is not mocked" (Galatians 6v7)

May 8, 1902, account of a catastrophe:
VOLCANO DESTROYS WEST INDIAN TOWN
St. Pierre, Martinique, Entirely Wiped Out
DEAD MAY NUMBER 25,000
It is Said that All the Inhabitants of the Town Have Been Killed
May 8 7H50 in the morning, Saint-Pierre and the Preacher are wiped off the map
May 8, it is the catastrophe. The stopper of lava which blocks the crater resisted the pressure of the gases which then make burst the most fragile part of the Mount Pelé. Gas clouds charged with ashes and with sulfur, heated with 1000°, descend on the city at more than 200 km/h. A little before 8 hours in the morning, the volcanic cloud strikes Saint-Pierre. The pressure of gases, projected at high speed, reverses all on its passage. In a few seconds any trace of life disappears. Houses and monuments are puffed up. Solid walls of stone, broad of one measures, break down. 30,000 people die instantaneously, thrown out of gear, asphyxiated on the spot by the violence of the shock. Heat causes the explosion of thousands of rum barrels piled up in the multiple warehouses and factories of the city. The explosions follow one another, still a long time after the passage of the cloud. Floods of ignited liquid run out in the streets, completing to calcine the bodies. The shock wave reaches the sea. A tidal wave of 3 meter high falls down on the ships at anchor, at the same time as the gas cloud. Capsized or set fire to, a score of boats run. The city and the neighbourhood are shaven. Small pieces of rock torn off with the volcano are projected to Fort-de-France. A shroud of hot ashes covers all the island with Martinique. The "Small Paris of the Antilles" ceased existing.

Victor Hugo Street After Eruption
Summary of sermon by Rev Erlo Stegen:
I recently read the story of the French island of Martinique. In 1902, it was noticed that Mt. Pelée was giving off smoke and had minor eruptions. Scientists gave soothing predictions but, on 8 May 1902, they were buried along with a population of about 30,000 who were wiped out in the cataclysmic eruption. Many islanders had been mockers of God. Over Easter, some had "crucified" a pig. Little did they expect a literal fiery hell that was soon to swallow them.

Eruption of Vesuvius: Destruction of Pompeii, 79 A.D.:
[from Conservapedia]
One notable aspect of Pompeii which archaeologists have abundantly evidenced is its pervasive eroticism, which, as was typical, was associated with pagan religion (even the gladiator games began as honoring pagan gods).
The discovery of this lewdness shocked researchers from Christian influenced English society, as one expressed:
Ancient relics . . . are full of objects so indecent, if we compare them to modern compositions, that the brush or needle of our Artists hardly dares to reproduce them for us. The word chosen for their classification was pornography, a word formulated by German art historian C.O Muller, who's alluded in his book, Handbuch der Archaolgie der Kunst, 1850, to "the great number of obscene representations . . . to which mythology gave frequent occasion."
Scott Ashley informs that:
Up to several dozen buildings have been identified as likely houses of prostitution. Some, due to the explicit wall paintings and graffiti found in them, leave no doubt as to their purpose. Even in private homes, wall paintings and mosaics depict all kinds of sexual activity, and many common household objects such as lamps, dishes, vases and fountains have been found with sexual motifs. Recent excavations at one of Pompeii's public baths indicate that one floor of the structure may have been a brothel.
Due to its pervasive immorality, prior to or shortly after the destruction of Pompeii, someone wrote "Sodom and Gomorrah" onto a wall near the cities central crossroads. The early church leader Tertullian defended Christians against the charge that their neglect of pagan worship resulted in pagan gods causing natural disasters, by indicating that no Christians lived in Pompeii when it was destroyed. Many Christians have since invoked the destruction of Pompeii as an example of God's judgment against rampant immorality.

Powerful Blog, Tim. Thank you.
I've been to Naples, the modern day city of Pompeii. After nearly 2,000 years, the place still stands as a very sobering reminder of that event. Like photo snap shots, bodies were frozen in place while in various final moments of their life, e.g., running in terror or sitting, hopelessly resigned to their fate while holding their children etc... The heat from the pyroclastic flow,1,000 degree super heated gas travelling almost 100 miles an hour, was instantaneously lethal. Wow! If this ain't Sodom and Gomorrah nothing else is.
Regarding St. Pierre, it's an obvious comparison. It is also VERY interesting to note how the French would name this town after their (catholic influenced patron saint Peter). What sacrilege. It's strikingly ironic that the pagan catholic prayer to their patron saint Peter begins with these words: "O Holy Apostle, because you are the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Church, obtain for me I pray you: lively faith, firm hope, and burning love, complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world,..." It is also amazing to me that the community of Saint Pierre was living in open contempt to God (crucifying a pig on Easter sickens me) would have their town named after a man of God who wrote, "Because it is written, 'Be holy, for I am holy.' And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear,"(translated as "holy terror"). 1 Peter 1:16,17.

Thanks, Randy, for your comment.

The sad thing about the Catholic church is that they think Peter was the first pope because of the above quote. When Jesus is talking to Peter in Scriptures, he said, blessed are you Peter because flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but our Father in heaven has revealed this to you. And on this rock (of revelation knowledge) shall I build this church (a spiritual church, not a worldly, physical, man-made church) and the gates (the strategies) of hell shall not prevail against it.
The city of St. Pierre definitely was not built on a Christian foundation, but a pagan Catholic foundation. And the wordly, man-made city of St. Pierre was later destroyed by a physical fire--a volcanic eruption--God's wrath.
Matthew 16: 18: "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Again, in the Scripture above, the rock that the spiritual church of Christ is built upon is direct revelation from the Father to individual believers--the rock is NOT Peter. If anyone thinks that Peter is the rock, they are idolaters (which is sin).
"The Gates of Hell"
http://tim-shey.blogspot.com/2010/03/gates-of-hell.html
Martinique was a French colony. As far as I know, France has never been known to send Christian missionaries anywhere (no wonder they had the bloody, Satanic French Revolution). Haiti was a French colony; New Orleans was a French colony. In recent years, the Lord destroyed New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina and the Lord destroyed Haiti with an earthquake (devil worship is an official religion in Haiti).
Now we go to the Las Vegas earthquake dream that I had back in 2006. In that dream, I am rebuking the Pope. I have often wondered what significance the Pope has with the destruction of Las Vegas.
Now go to the film "The Godfather". We all know that the mafia helped build Las Vegas into an empire of gambling and prostitution and other evils. If most of the gangsters that helped build Las Vegas (on unrighteous foundations) were Italian (and most or all of the Italian mafia were Catholic), then Las Vegas was built on sinful foundations of sand.
Sand is the opposite of rock. If you are submitted to Satan, you are building on sand. If your are submitted to Christ, you are building on rock. Las Vegas is built on sand. St. Pierre, Martinique was built on sand.

THE ELECTION
"Living near the volcano became increasingly stressful, leading many to consider leaving St. Pierre for Martinique's second city, Fort-de-France. On the day of the lahar, however, Governor Louis Mouttet received a report from a committee of civic leaders who climbed the volcano to assess the danger. The only scientist in the group was a local high school teacher. The report stated that 'there is nothing in the activity of Mt. Pelée that warrants a departure from St. Pierre.' It concluded that 'the safety of St. Pierre is completely assured.' The report eased the public's fears, and gave hope to city officials who were particularly anxious that voters remain in the city to cast their ballots for an election that was to be held on May 11. The only people with enough money to leave the island were the wealthy, nearly all of which belonged to the Progressive Party of Governor Mouttet. Mouttet convinced the conservative editor of the daily newspaper Les Colonies to downplay the danger of the volcano, and to lead the effort to encourage people to remain. Still, some residents left the city for Fort-de-France. This prompted Governor Mouttet to send in troops to patrol the road to Fort-de-France, with orders to turn back refugees who were trying to leave. Based on the soothing articles that appeared in Les Colonies, many people in the countryside flocked to St. Pierre thinking that it was the safest place to be. The population ballooned to about 28,000, nearly all of which would perish in the cataclysmic eruption of May 8."
