For a detailed History of the early Church in Florida, please see the article under this menu item by Dr. Charles Gallagher, SJ.
The history of our Catholic faith in Florida begins with the earliest of the Spanish conquistadors to visit what is today the Dioceses of Orlando and St. Augustine. In 1539 Hernando de Soto led an excursion that entered Florida's modern Tampa Bay area. Eight priests were with him in his exploration traveling up into Marion County on his way north. There were many who followed, especially after 1565 when the Spanish permanently settled in St. Augustine. The early missionaries reached out to the local people and helped them develop a written version of their language. 300 years later, when the first Florida Bishop arrived, there were already 5 Catholic communities established – St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Fernandina and Tampa.
Bishop Augustin Verot began the modern organization of the Church in Florida. The Bishop faced the vast mission before him with a handful of priests, undeveloped counties and swamp-ridden villages, where communities were struggling to begin. During his administration between 1870 to 1876, there were missions and mission stations sparsely settled around Central Florida, but he did not establish any parishes. He died on June 10, 1876 weary after years of trying to get things established for the Indians, and for his American Church. The next Bishop of St. Augustine was Bishop John Moore from 1877 to 1901. In his term he established 5 parishes and 4 missions in the Central Florida area. The parishes were St. Peter in Deland, St. James Cathedral in Orlando, St. Paul in Daytona Beach, All Souls in Sanford and St. Joseph in Lakeland. Hence, in the history of our Diocese of Orlando – these are the first parishes, followed by St. Mary of the Lakes as the sixth.
The first Catholic arrived in Eustis in 1890. He was a man from Philadelphia named Charles Megargee. Six years later, another Catholic from the same city, Mr. Jerry Ott, came to Eustis and then there were two. So together they would make a trip to Sanford to attend Mass. Imagine the sacrifice they made as the roads were not paved. Father Fox started the Eustis station in 1906 by celebrating the first Mass in Mr. Megargee's home. In 1911, the Catholic community had grown, and Eustis was established as a Mission of All Souls Church in Sanford. Father Bresnahan helped to prepare for a Eustis church. Property was purchased on the corner of Grove and Badger Streets and a cornerstone was laid on Sept. 22, 1911. A donor of $1,500 asked that the new church be called "St. Mary." The church was built of wood and stuccoed.
On Jan. 28, 1912, Bishop Kenny dedicated St. Mary of the Lakes. The church then served a dozen Catholic families who had been aided in funding the building by generous non-Catholics in the community. So that the very first day that St. Mary's started it was debt-free. The church seated 50 worshippers. When the first funeral was held, the casket could not be carried through the narrow door, so the entrance had to be enlarged. Resident priests in the mission began in 1927 with Rev. William Humphries as the first one. A house was purchased for a rectory. Rev. Patrick Doyle, who served from 1933 to 1940, saw the need of adding space to the church for his growing parish. In June of 1936, he enlarged the church to seat 285 to 300 people.
In 1961 St. Mary of the Lakes even crossed the county border of Seminole to start a Mission in Apopka . Rev. Michael Reynolds, pastor between 1957 to 1964, celebrated Sunday liturgies at first in the Apopka Memorial High School, and after 1964, in the American Legion Hall.
The Diocese of Orlando was established on June 18, 1968. Most Rev. William Borders was the first Bishop of Orlando. At that time he governed 50 parishes serving 128, 000 Catholics.
In 1969, overcrowding at St. Mary of the Lakes church led to the beginning of a mission in Mount Dora. It was Rev. William Trainor who started this mission and was succeeded by Fr. Michael Hannon. A one-day fund drive assured pledges of $ 26,000 towards a new church. By summer of 1970, Bishop Borders decided that the mission, named after Saint Patrick, had grown sufficiently to be a parish.
Fr. Michael Hannon was Pastor of St. Mary of the Lakes for 17 years. The Church continued to grow and to prosper under his leadership. In 1972, Fr. Hannon proposed a 2-story multi-purpose building combining the church, parish hall, rectory and the office under one roof. The old rectory was torn down and on November 6, 1977 the cornerstone of the current building was laid. By Easter of 1979, the project was completed – St. Mary of the Lakes Church is now shaped like a dove in a very unique Spanish architecture.
In 1986, Fr. Antonio Pons, our first Spanish priest became the pastor. In his six years of tenure, a new Parish Center building and a Rectory were completed in 1988.
Fr. Manuel Fernandez replaced Fr. Pons in 1992. The following year, a Spanish Mass was added to the weekend schedule and in 1994 the Hispanic office was opened for the immigrants. The property ownership of the Parish expanded and in 1999 the present office building was erected on the corner of Ocklawaha Avenue and Grove Street. Also, in the same year a waterfall was added to the grotto at the front entrance of the church.
In October of 2006, the last property on the corner of Ocklawaha Avenue and Center St. was purchased giving us the entire block except for one house on the North West corner of Osceola Avenue. In June of 2008, in commemoration of the Diocese of Orlando's 40th Anniversary, Pope Benedict XVI elevated Fr. Fernandez to Monsigñor along with several other tenured priests. In December of 2008, the properties at 722 and 728 S. Grove Street across from the front of the church were purchased. The 722 property was renovated after the decision was made to open a Free Medical and Dental Clinic due to the generosity of several doctors in the area to help the needy who have no insurance. This Free Medical and Dental Clinic is a project of St. Mary of the Lakes and St. Patrick's in Mount Dora. This project was approved by the Diocese with the condition that this will be under the umbrella of the Catholic Charities of Central Florida. The 728 property was converted into a Thrift Shop to help fund the Free Clinic.
In May of 2010, St. Luke's Free Medical & Dental Clinic and the St. Mary's Thrift Store finally came to fruition. These two buildings were dedicated by Archbishop Thomas Wenski on May 2nd.
On June 1, 2010, Fr. Gilbert Medina was assigned to St. Mary of the Lakes as Parochial Vicar. By September Fr. Medina was made the Parochial Administrator of St. Mary of the Lakes, when Msgr. Fernandez decided to retire, after 18 years of serving this parish. Fr. Medina was then installed as our 14th Pastor a year later. This young, vibrant and deeply spiritual man started a tradition at the Thanksgiving Day Mass for the attendees to bring a loaf of bread which would be placed at the altar and blessed during Mass. At the end of the Mass, the youngest member in the family is requested to take home a loaf other than their own and share with their family at their Thanksgiving meal.
On January 23, 2011, Youth Stewardship Sunday was introduced and the children were made aware on giving back to God each week their Time – Talent – Treasure, and were asked to take home a box of envelopes to use with the God Jar instruction sheet.
In celebration of the 99th Anniversary, the Filipino clergy in our Diocese of Orlando presented a concert in our parish on January 28, 2011. Seven priests came to perform in the concert entitled "Ah-Men" which was enjoyed by all.
The installation of 2 large movie screens – one on each side of the altar was finished in October of 2011. The first family movie night was introduced showing the 13th Day, the story of the apparition of Our Lady at Fatima, Portugal. More than two hundred people came.
The Altar was renovated on November 16th to make room in our sanctuary. The Tabernacle was returned to its original place at the center of the sanctuary. On November 23rd, six gold altar candlesticks, an altar cross, a gold book rest, a beautiful ambry to place the Holy Oils, and two additional tabernacle candle sticks were purchased from the donations of the parishioners.
To put the final touch of our sanctuary, a decision was made in December to find three dimensional Stations of the Cross to replace the old ones made of tapestry. The Business Manager, Easter Byrne, was given the task to do the search. By Christmas, a collection of large and turn of the century, Stations of the Cross, perfect for our sanctuary were located from a Church that had been closed in St. Joseph City in the state of Missouri. It was the Church of the Immaculate Conception, founded in 1867. Donors were then procured. On January 10, 2012, fourteen beautiful and ornate Stations of the Cross were installed.
The original cornerstone dated A.D. 1911 was placed at the main entrance of the church on January 17, 2012. The stone was preserved by the late Joe Shenk, who was the maintenance man when the old church was torn down in 1978.
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of St. Mary of the Lakes in 2012 – a number of activities were lined up. The most important to note was the Anniversary Mass on January 28th at 4 pm for which Bishop John Noonan was the celebrant. Burial of a time capsule at the front hillside of the church immediately followed after the Mass. This Time Capsule is scheduled to be opened in 2037. The 100th Anniversary Banquet was held at Lake Receptions in Mount Dora in the evening, where more than four hundred people came and enjoyed the dinner and dancing to the tune of the LC Swing Band.
In March of that year, the Eustis Community Center was rented to hold our Heritage Festival. There we had a showcase of the many different countries where our parishioners came from offering their many delicacies. We also displayed all the liturgical items that our Parish had archived in the past 100 years and re-enacted the founding of St. Mary of the Lakes Parish.
To close the Centennial Celebration, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with an International Fiesta. A big tent was rented that covered the parking lot between the Church and the Parish Center and sat about 650 people. The Mariachi Band played during the Mass and after, as the festivities went on until 7:00 pm. Aztec Dancers and the Historical Society of St. Augustine also graced the occasion. A crowd of more than a thousand gathered and celebrated. It was a wonderful celebration!
The 14th Pastor of St. Mary of the Lakes, Fr. Gilbert Medina, was passionate about history and became a member of the Historical Society of St. Augustine. Fr. Gilbert Medina portrayed Don Juan Ponce de Leon in 2013, celebrating the 500th Anniversary commemorating Florida's discovery in 1513. A bus full of St. Mary of the Lakes parishioners as well as many in private vehicles went to St. Augustine to witness the event on April 6th. Everybody was proud of Fr. Medina.
Fr. Gilbert Medina made a promise to God that he would complete a pilgrimage – The Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela, famously known as the El Camino walk. He decided to fulfill this promise in 2014. He started his journey on May 26th by foot from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port in France and walked more than 500 miles for 6 weeks, completing the pilgrimage at the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Spain where he concelebrated the mass. Returning from his pilgrimage of 6 weeks, the parishioners were all happy to see Fr. Gilbert Medina in July, only to be broken hearted to know that after only 4 years of being the Pastor, he would be moving on. He was needed at All Souls Church in Sanford and was transferred on August 1, 2014. The parish remained without a Pastor for the next month and a half. Fr. Ed Waters, the Dean of Northern Deanery of which St. Mary of the Lakes belongs, came to assure everyone that the Bishop was actively looking for a good replacement. Fr. Joseph Roberts, the retired Pastor of Our Lady of the Lakes in Deltona, who was helping while Fr. Medina did his pilgrimage, continued to stay. Together with Msgr. John Neff, these 2 retired priests patiently served the parish while everyone anxiously waited for the next Shepherd.
On the 16th of September, 2014 the Bishop appointed Fr. Joseph Bellerive, J.C.D. as the 15th Pastor of St. Mary of the Lakes. Fr. Joseph brought with him many years of experience as a priest in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. He is also currently the Adjutant Judicial Vicar of the Diocese of Orlando. Aside from being a Priest, he is also an accomplished opera singer and has performed in many places in Europe and in the United States. In December, Fr. Joseph started the first Saturday Mass at 8:00 am followed by a Question and Answer Session about our faith in the Parish Hall. The community welcomed this new forum to learn more about our Catholic Faith. In January of 2015, real vigil candles were placed in a stand on each corner of the Church for people to light for their special intentions, replacing the electric push button ones.
In celebration of its 103rd Anniversary, the parish offered a Classical Concert performed by the talented Pastor. A crowd of nearly 600 gathered in the church and were truly entertained. St. Mary of the Lakes was indeed blessed to have a Pastor who willingly shared his knowledge of the Canon Law and his God-given talent in music to everybody.
On the 2nd of December, 2018, Fr. Joseph returned to a full time position at the Diocesan tribunal and the Bishop appointed Fr. Carlos Bedoya as the 16th Pastor of St. Mary of the Lakes.

Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Al Feola said the trooper is "getting better every day."
MARTIN COUNTY — A Florida Highway Patrol trooper who was thrown into the air after being struck by a car while at the scene of a prior crash along Interstate 95 Monday was released from the hospital Tuesday night.
Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Al Feola said the trooper, Mithil Patel, 31, of Fort Pierce, is "getting better every day."
Patel was responding to an early-morning crash Monday on northbound Interstate 95 near Hobe Sound, when another car was rear-ended, causing it to lose control and hit Patel.
Patel was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, where he originally was in critical condition.
Feola said a press conference is expected to take place Friday, where Patel is scheduled to speak.

Walter Black limited leatherette edition.
Harpers editions to 1915 are 389 pages. Harpers 1924 edition reset the book , pages totaled 378 (page numbers are at the top of the page rather than at the bottom). I can think of no other example of where Harpers reset the book other than the Riders 1921 edition. Perhaps the 10 year lag between editions (1914 to 1924) accounted for this. Such a lag time between Harpers editions, while not unique, seems also uncommon. The Grosset editions (presumably October 1915 and January 1917) would suggest that publishing rights went from Harpers to Grosset to Harpers and presumably back to Grosset.

This week, we've invited Eric Lyons to answer our questions. He's a full time high school art teacher, but has a ton of extracurricular creative projects. He's head of photography at Half Design, a startup studio, does regular work with Blue 7, and sells merch on the side.
Read on for our conversation with Eric on topics such as his favorite projects, how he teaches creativity, his new startup studio, and work-life balance.
Hey everyone! I'm Eric Lyons, wearer of many hats. Husband, Father, Artist, Teacher, Coach, Photographer, co-founder of Half.design, and Master of the Universe (okay, I made up that last part).
Before you think I have super powers and some how fit 25 hours in a day, the Majorty of my time is spent being Husband and Father. After that my love is teaching and the rest all kid of fall in line with each other. I'm an Artist who teaches Art, so that goes hand in hand. I also teach photography which encompasses my love of photography as well as my roll as Director of Photography for our recent startup Half.Design. I know, by now you may be confused with my spiderweb of activities. Probably the most unusual aspect of my day is coaching cross country and track but we can cover that through questions if you are curious.
I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life and currently reside in Edmond, OK. I graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 2005 with a degree in Art Education. I've taught at Dove Science Academy, Western Oaks Middle School, Putnam City West and currently Deer Creek High School. Even with a side project started, teaching will never leave me. It will always be a role in my career.
teaching in Oklahoma, struggles, fears, and successes.
balancing a career with a side gig?
building relationships and why they are key in schools and in business?
What's the most challenging aspect teaching art to high school students?
I always struggle with this one. I know the reality of my classroom is not everyone is going to be an artist. But I do know when they leave, my hope is that each of them have a appreciation for it.
Maybe the biggest challenge is that students expect results immediately. Maybe google just ruined them, I don't know. Some days I just want to pull my hair out because they don't understand why they can't make a self portrait in 5 minutes…. i mean the internet does it right?
Why did you decide to start Half.design?
I think we all basically were ready to put a name to what we already did.
How does teaching art influence the way that you do design?
I think that they both fall into place pretty easily. Brainstorming and coming up with ideas is one of my favorite things. We've all been there and gone through the process. With teaching I have to do that every hour, with 30+ minds. We have a general idea of where we want to go (lesson), but we all have our different processes. My job as teacher is helping each student find that direction. Just like in design, we write it out, find mood boards, look for emotions, ways to make the work provoke the viewer, but also to provoke the emotion of the artist/designer. Our best works have our best emotions behind it.
Secrets out though…designing is all done by my partners Nate and Katrina. I had a professor in college that burned me in my first ever design class and I swore it off. I guess thats just because I'm stubborn. I do always say I want to learn it, but I'd have to have a teacher for that. Any non-college classes out there?
Nate and Katrina are the perfect duo. I can throw an idea or vision out there and they can always make it happen.
I randomly met Nate and Katrina in a book store last year. Great couple of people.
@robbietherobot Nate is my former student I taught him 6th grade through 11th. He's still teaching me every day.
Your photog style is very moody compared to most commercial styles – what drew you to your style, and is having a unique style good for business?
Moody. I like it. I know I break the rules. I want my work to provoke the viewer. If it's a wedding shoot, family shoot, business, whatever, I want people to be there in their images. I like to hear my clients respond with, " I remember you taking that one picture" Creating a moment with them is more important to me then the image itself. Without the moment, its just a picture.
How do you create moments as the person behind the camera?
Developing a relationship with my client in the time frame that I have. Listening to them. Instigating stories. Learning who they are and creating my creative energy off of it.
Missed part of your question. I think the unique style is good. You ultimately want people to seek you out for what you do best.
It's a delicate balance. But honestly, teaching allows me to do that. My Job as a teacher isn't to just harbor creativity in the classroom. Im constantly working around my students. Showing them how I'm editing a photoshoot. Sharing the process with them. Kids are sponges but often times they aren't going to ask questions. Asking questions is intimidating. You've been to the doctor, right? But they will always watch and they will soak it up. Like the adage says, "Practice what you preach." Its important for me to show them what Art is like outside the walls of the classroom. They are only mine for 4 years tops (that's not true, I'm always there for them afterwards) but theoretically speaking, I have 4 years to leave an impression with Art that will hopefully in turn lead them toward a career.
Balance is important though. Best thing I ever did was deleted work email from my phone. Work is for work. Home is for home.
I'm human, I go through ups and downs with this too. Ive learned that surrounding yourself with people that believe in you, plays a big part in staying inspired. Social media is given to people that inspire. Social media is probably our biggest connection to the creative world. People posting to IG, Twitter, Facebook, whatever it might be. And i make sure that I have variety in those feeds. Designers, Photographers, Painters, Sculptors, Writers, Musicians, Educators, Comedians… the list can go on forever. But the point is, you never know where inspiration is going to come from, I think the key is pursuing it when the thought pops into your mind.
not sure If i was clear when I said " social media is given to people that inspire" Meaning: thats the type of people that I follow. My Students goal in life is for me to follow them in IG (Lofty goals i know) and my response to them is, graduate first and then make sure you are taking photos that are going to inspire me.
If you had to summarize yourself in one sentence, what would it be?
Can this be a run-on sentence?
I had a professor sum this up once.
Just a renaissance artist, trying to bridge the gaps by trying do everything from drawing to photography.
I think that holds pretty true. I have 145 students a day. You've gotta stay sharp across the board in order to guide them and make sure it's interesting.
Ha! I wish I could do it all. Behind the curtains thats why there is three of us at Half. We each have our strengths and develop off of each other.
as far as a teaching, I teach with 4 other Art teachers ( I know, thats rare five Art teachers in one school) and we all help with each others rolls. I can't be a teacher of just my classroom, I have to be a teacher of the school.
Find your strengths and make those "your all" but don't forget the other things. stay fresh in your craft across the board. Hopefully you are always developing and growing.
Thanks for the questions everyone! Hopefully this will be a start to networks for all of us. If you need anything or have any other questions let me know.

Bardstown Road Aglow gets into holiday spirits
Bailey Loosemore
For its 30th anniversary, Bardstown Road Aglow - the Highlands' largest shopping night of the year - is delving deeper into the holiday spirits with the introduction of specialty cocktails at 11 neighborhood bars and restaurants.
The drinks are the result of a partnership between the Highlands Commerce Guild and new lead sponsor Maker's Mark and will be served throughout the event, running from dusk to 10 p.m. Dec. 5.
But don't have to wait two weeks to try them. On Wednesday, you can get a sneak peak at a friendly cocktail contest - featuring a celebrity judge who totally knows what she's doing. (Just kidding, it's me.)
The free preview party will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at Seviche, 1538 Bardstown Road, and will include samples of four of the 11 drinks, along with small appetizers. Participating businesses are Seviche, Bearno's, La Chasse and O'Shea's Irish Pub.
Other businesses making specialty drinks for Bardstown Road Aglow are BoomBozz Tap House, Bristol Bar and Grill, DiOrio's Pizza and Pub, Highlands Tap Room and Grill, Molly Malone's, Uptown Cafe and Wick's Pizza.
Share your holiday disaster stories with CJ
All drinks will be served for $10 in souvenir Maker's Mark mugs from Wednesday through Dec. 5, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Highlands Community Ministries.
Maker's Mark will also donate proceeds made from three wrapping stations that will be set up the night of Bardstown Road Aglow. The stations will be located at PNC, 1301 Bardstown Road; O'Shea's, 956 Baxter Ave; and Old Town Wine and Spirits, 1529 Bardstown Road.
"This is a big year for us and we are so happy to be teaming up with Maker's Mark for our 30th anniversary," Bardstown Road Aglow chair Mary Beth Rother said in a statement. "Maker's Mark is bringing fresh energy and new ideas that will make this year's Bardstown Road Aglow celebration one to remember."
For more information on the preview party and Bardstown Road Aglow, visit www.thehighlandsoflouisville.com.

The Path of Blaggers, Part 10
Posted on January 18, 2020 by Hatboy
The group made its way with casual aimlessness in a meandering sort of northerly direction, any illusion of progress shattered by the occasional glitch in the universe that turned them around or changed their intended destination. Still, the pointless and time-wasting journey gave Chucky ample opportunity to discover Lanfear's true identity, and come perilously close to getting himself torn to pieces – or worse – with the One Power in the process. The Forsaken was still unwilling to take the chance, however, that the Gleeman was really as chummy with "Angamael" as he pretended to be.
"Loversknot is the worst name for a horse ever," Chucky insisted.
"It is if you say it that way."
"How am I supposed to say it? I mean yeah, if you say it a certain way, I'm sure it's fine. You know, if you write it down maybe. What were you thinking? You're riding on a horse called Loversnot."
"I didn't call it that," Lanfear growled. "As you know perfectly well, Nynaeve called it that, before I took her place."
"It's bad enough that we're apparently heading for a rendezvous at an estate belonging to the Hornwells," Chucky went on, "but you're doing it on a horse called Loversnot. I'm just saying. Hoarni has been a handful as it is, he doesn't need the help of suggestive-sounding names."
"When you say he's been a 'handful'," Lanfear said, "do you mean your own personal hand?"
"See?" Chucky waved his gleestaff. "Soon nothing we do or say will be free of innuendo," he paused in his waving, lowered the gleestaff carefully, and wiped his hand on his cloak. "And then where will we be?"
"At the manor, I hope," Lan said from Lanfear's far side. "I'm heartily sick of this whole venture."
"I don't even know why we're going there," Chucky confided. "I lost track weeks ago. I figure, nobody else cares, so why should I?"
"What are your orders, Gleeman?" Lanfear demanded. "What has the Great Lord instructed you?"
"Need to know basis," Chucky said.
"I need to know."
"Obviously not," Chucky replied, for once pleased to have had such extensive experience debating with Mister C, "or you'd know already."
"Insta-lose," Wyse opined from the sidelines.
The journey went on, interminably. Dr. Nick had not succeeded in nursing Nynaeve back to health, if indeed she was Nynaeve, and there was nobody more qualified to even try. The Ogier had finally shown up after wimping out on them during Operation Wind, but after what the other Nynaeve had done to the Green Man they were desperately unhappy and even more prone to stomach upsets than usual. And there was nothing quite like an unhappy Ogier with an upset stomach to hinder the healing process.
And speaking of Wind, Olver was still riding alongside on the universe's most flatulent quadruped, absent only when he veered off their path from time to time to get himself immersed in some calamity or other, most of which somehow contrived to make him even uglier. By the time they reached the Hornwell estate, it was entirely likely that Olver would have undergone metamorphosis into some hitherto unknown form of Shadowspawn.
All in all, Chucky had to admit he'd fallen in with the worst possible combination of people he could have imagined, short of Contro being present, with whom to share the mid-series doldrums they were very obviously experiencing.
When their paths crossed, seemingly by complete coincidence, with a group of asha'man, Chucky was almost relieved. A bit of bafflement and suspicion followed by a brisk and bloody culling of excess characters was just what the proverbial doctor ordered.
The search for Puddin Taim had reached a new and, in Forsaken_1's opinion, unnecessarily complex stage. After deeming Shadar Logoth too unstable and hazardous to look for the big whining dork, the Aes Sedai following Cadsuane had settled on a confusing system combining asha'man spot-checking parties, Tel'aran'rhiod, standard grid-pattern search procedure and a weird ter'angreal Elayne had 'accidentally' made one morning when she was trying to heat up her tea.
Now they were all in the throne room, standing around with their metaphorical thumbs up their butts. Except for one of Mazrim Taim's henchmen, who Forsaken_1 was beginning to suspect was literally butt-thumbing it. From where he was standing on the far side of the Lion Throne next to Cadsuane, he could hear the asha'man with his hand down the back of his pants muttering quietly about "not letting them escape".
"It detects and reacts to specific shifts in the Pattern," Elayne was explaining from the throne, "a combination of ta'veren and saidin which we have managed to tune – at least I think we have – to resonate against some of the events the Dragon Reborn is supposed to cause," the Queen of Andor glanced at Min in irritation. "Min's viewings are becoming less useful by the hour, and some of them are downright insulting."
"I can't help it-"
"Keep those ones to yourself next time," Elayne snapped.
"Yeah, and tell us later," Stifler added. The Queen's three Warders were lounging behind the throne on a little trio of chairs with a table in between. Or, at least, Stifler and Birgitte were lounging while Gaidal Cain, whose turn it was to be 'on duty', was standing close behind Elayne's right armrest and watching everyone in the throne room with bland dislike.
Elayne turned and leaned over to give her Warder a look around the bulk of the Lion Throne, then gave the ter'angreal a shake. To Forsaken_1 it looked like one of those forked sticks that insane people used to try to find water, only made out of glass … or perhaps glass tubes with water inside. Sparkly little coloured things moved around inside the glass, but he couldn't get a good look at them. Cadsuane was blocking his line of sight, and every time he tried to crane his neck to look over her shoulder, she told him to stop looking at Her Majesty's breasts. "Anyway," she said, "the upshot is that this thing should be detecting Puddin Taim."
"So is it working or not?" Cadsuane asked.
Elayne gave the ter'angreal another shake, and glared at it. Mazrim Taim shifted his feet and a couple of his non-thumb-butt minions glowered, which Forsaken_1 took to mean Elayne was channeling. She had the ter'angreal by the forks with the shaft pointing across the room towards the main doors, and when she suddenly swung it around it almost smacked Min in the face. Then she swung the other way, but Cadsuane had already prudently stepped back. Forsaken_1 felt a weird buzzing in his ears as some sort of invisible beam from the end of the ter'angreal passed through his chakras. Probably radiation, he thought, and spared a moment to be glad Elayne was wielding the thing at head-height due to the elevation of the throne.
"It's working," she declared. "According to this, he's a long way off, and there's something very weird about these readings…" she gave the ter'angreal another shake.
"I think we all know there's something very weird about the Lord Dragon Reborn," Davram Bashere said, "and Cairhien and Tear used to be a long way off too, but all it takes is for one of our inestimable asha'man comrades to wiggle his fingers, and we'll be able to just reach through a gateway and grab him by the lapels. If he happens to be wearing a coat. Or indeed anything. The main variable is what we grab him by, is my point."
"Hey, thanks for that mental picture," Stifler said.
"You're the one who can't stop yourself from picturing Vamps naked," Forsaken_1 pointed out. He was getting sick of Stifler getting the juiciest lines. Cadsuane turned and smacked him swiftly in the back of the head. "Ow."
"You behave yourself, young man," the ancient and horrible Aes Sedai said sharply.
"Yeah," Stifler grinned. "That's what you get."
"Don't make me get down off this throne," Elayne said, although she was still preoccupied with the ter'angreal. "I'll turn this rescue operation right around."
"Speaking of this rescue operation," Mazrim Taim said, "you want me to make a gateway to where, exactly?"
"I'm not sure," Elayne said, "but I think … I think … Puddin is in a World of If," she frowned, "quite close to this world but separated from it by vast gulfs…" she looked up. "And also, he's not on this continent in the World of If. He's in Shara."
Forsaken_1 considered asking whether the ter'angreal was programmed to detect False Dragons, dead Dragons, foreign Dragons or only genuine Dragons, but gave the question up as too difficult before even arranging it in his mind. Cadsuane would only slap the back of his head again anyway.
About Hatboy
I'm not often driven to introspection or reflection, but the question does come up sometimes. The big question. So big, there's just no containing it within the puny boundaries of a single set of punctuationary bookends. Who are these mysterious and unsung heroes of obscurity and shadow? What is their origin story? Do they have a prequel trilogy? What are their secret identities? What are their public identities, for that matter? What are their powers? Their abilities? Their haunted pasts and troubled futures? Their modus operandi? Where do they live anyway, and when? What do they do for a living? Do they really have these fantastical adventures, or is it a dazzlingly intellectual and overwrought metaphor? Or is it perhaps a smug and post-modern sort of metaphor? Is it a plain stupid metaphor, hedged around with thick wads of plausible deniability, a soap bubble of illusory plot dependent upon readers who don't dare question it for fear of looking foolish? A flight of fancy, having dozed off in front of the television during an episode of something suitably spaceship-oriented? Do they have a quest, a handler, a mission statement, a department-level development objective in five stages? I am Hatboy. https://hatboy.blog/2013/12/17/metalude-who-are-creepy-and-hatboy/

The Global Alliance Releases Toolkit to Help Countries Prioritize Food Systems in Climate Policies
The Global Alliance for the Future of Food recently released a toolkit to help countries adopt a food systems approach to climate change through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
"We are seeking to get all governments to recognize and start to act on the opportunity to use food systems transformation to bring emissions down," Patty Fong, Program Director of Climate and Health & Well-being at The Global Alliance, tells Food Tank.
The toolkit is for policymakers, climate advisors, and other stakeholders. It contains a summary report, 14 country assessments, an assessment framework, and case studies. The Global Alliance aims to showcase the opportunities for governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through food systems transformation and reap additional health, environmental, and social benefits.
"There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach," Fong explains. "Our toolkit includes a framework that any country can use to assess the gaps and opportunities for including food systems transformation in its own climate plans, enabling decision-makers to account for their local context and needs."
NDCs represent each country's efforts to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. NDCs also serve to track global progress on climate goals. The Global Alliance designed the Assessment Framework to help policymakers and policy advocates identify opportunities for food systems.
"Without transformation of the industrialized food systems, it will be impossible to keep global warming below the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees," Fong tells Food Tank. Nature Climate Change research shows that changing the way people produce and consume food has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 10.3 gigatons per year. That is greater than the combined emissions from global transport and residential energy use in 2019.
The Assessment Framework uses The Global Alliance's 7 Calls to Action and guiding principles to evaluate a country's performance in NDCs. Criteria include ensuring inclusive and participatory governance, enabling agroecology and regenerative approaches, and supporting food systems that are resilient, inclusive, and interconnected.
The assessment reveals the 14 countries evaluated incorporate aspects of food production in NDCs and promote agroecology and regenerative agriculture. Colombia and Kenya, for example, put forward the most ambitious agroecological measures. But almost all countries overlook demand-side measures involving the consumer to promote dietary changes, tackle food waste, and reduce postharvest emissions.
While China includes a target to promote greener lifestyles, the country does not mention sustainable diets. And Vanuatu, France, and South Africa are the only countries taking measures to reduce the impact of food transport.
Fong explains that many countries focus NDCs on food production practices without diversifying measures. "There is a bias towards the most efficient (cost effective and quickest) mitigation pathways, which often leads to incremental changes in the system rather than looking at how the system itself fundamentally needs to be transformed," Fong says.
Another important reason, Fong tells Food Tank, is siloed policymaking. "All too often issues related to health, nutrition, education, gender inequality (and more) are not connected enough with environmental policymaking."
The Global Alliance encourages cross-sector dialogue and systems thinking. They also hope to see countries value the insights of diverse stakeholders including Indigenous people, farmers, and women. They hope that this will help countries design resilient climate strategies and avoid ineffective, silver-bullet solutions.
"For policymakers in every country, ensuring NDC consultation, development and implementation requires meaningful engagement with all groups who participate in the food system—which includes those who are often underrepresented, such as indigenous peoples or women," Fong says.
The Global Alliance plans to use the toolkit to help policymakers start or deepen their work in integrating food systems transformation into NDCs. And support those most impacted by climate change. They are also encouraging attendees of the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26) to submit revised NDCs ahead of the next global meeting, COP27, taking place November 2022 in Egypt.
Fong explains to Food Tank that "with food systems transformation offering such accessible wins, with clear co-benefits including for health and sustainable livelihoods, there is no good reason not to pursue this course. And with climate impacts accelerating and the window for meaningful action closing, there is no time to lose."

If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.

A few weeks ago, i was approached by the operators of an independent Web site about a denial-of-service problem. It seems that a user did not take kindly to being banned from posting to the site and, in retaliation, began using a DoS attack known as a "Syn attack" against the site.
Syn attacks use TCP/IP against itself. The attacker tries to initiate a session from a forged, nonexistent IP address. The server tries to respond and holds open a connection request, waiting for a response that will never come. The attacker keeps repeating this, forcing the host to fill up its connection queues, eventually disabling the host. This attack is virtually untraceable and does not require much bandwidth to execute.
The Web site operators dont have much money to work with, so they cant afford intrusion detection systems, firewalls or other devices that will stop this type of attack. Without many options, I started talking to the operating system vendor. This site is running on a version of Linux called Mandrake, marketed by a French company. A clever patch was developed for Linux by Alan Cox. It works quite well but must be compiled into the kernel to operate.
My trip to the Mandrake Web site was, well, interesting. I was unable to determine if this patch is available for the Mandrake version of Linux. The site was filled with self-congratulatory rhetoric and an equal amount of anti-Microsoft propaganda, but very little in the way of technical support and not a single phone number. My attempts to contact anyone who could answer a question about this patch met with failure. Two weeks later, no one had responded to my inquiries.
Two observations: First, if the Linux community wants to realize its incredible promise, it has a lot of growing up to do. Second, much of the content on the Internet is vulnerable due to the inability of Web site operators to either buy appropriate products or acquire software updates.
If you are going into the business of providing Web content, choose your software wisely. Find out about service and support. Look for a company—whether a purveyor of Linux or not—that is dedicated to supporting businesses, not one that is trying to look "cool." No amount of coolness can protect your data.

Opposition to Section 141 of The House-Passed Customs Border Security Act of 2001
Media 07.18,02
Recipient: LCCR
The Honorable Max Baucus
Senate Finance Committee
511 Hart Senate Office Building
Dear Senator Baucus:
On behalf of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the nation's largest and most diverse civil and human rights coalition, I write to express our strong opposition to section 141 of the House-passed Customs Border Security Act of 2001 (H.R. 3129), and to urge that this provision not be included in the final version of the bill that comes out of Conference. This provision would unjustifiably weaken protections against racial profiling and undermine President Bush's call to end this pernicious practice.
Section 141 would provide Customs officers with legal immunity from civil lawsuits stemming from searches of individuals entering the country, based on the officer's assertion that the search was conducted in "good faith." We are unaware of any precedent for this sweeping protection. Customs officers would be afforded a legal shield unavailable to any other federal law enforcement officer.
Under current law, the "qualified immunity" doctrine protects officers from liability for actions "that did not violate any clearly established constitutional or statutory rights." The additional protection now sought by the Customs Service apparently would cover searches that do violate clearly established constitutional or statutory rights but which were undertaken in good faith.
This additional protection is unjustified for several reasons. First, individuals victimized by official actions that violate "clearly established constitutional or statutory rights" deserve legal redress. Second, a good faith exception puts a premium on ignorance of the law; officers should not gain immunity because they did not understand what constitutes a "clearly established constitutional or statutory rights." Finally, there is no reason for the Customs Service to have this additional protection that other law enforcement agents do not have. If Congress is going to debate whether all agents should receive this unjustified protection, that debate should not occur on this bill.
In considering whether the Customs Service deserves this unprecedented protection, Congress should recall that in a March 2000 report, the General Accounting Office found that Black female U.S. citizens were nine times more likely than White female U.S. citizens to be subjected to x-ray searches by the Customs Service. This disparity persisted despite the fact that Black women were less than half as likely to be found carrying contraband as White women. We understand that the Customs Service has taken steps to address this problem, but this is no time to reverse the agency's progress.
Instead of weakening protections against racial profiling on an ad hoc, agency-by-agency basis, Congress should enact legislation to ban racial profiling. A bipartisan bill to implement that goal, the End Racial Profiling Act of 2001 (H.R. 2074), has been endorsed by the Leadership Conference and currently has 93 cosponsors.
Thank you for your consideration of our views. Please feel free to contact Julie Fernandes of the Leadership Conference staff at (202) 263-2856 regarding this issue.

LCCR letter to President Bush urging the removal of Peter Kirisnow


Note: I sent this open letter to President Donald Trump a week ago.
Obviously, there are details to be worked out and national security considerations that must be addressed. You have a responsibility from God to protect this nation from our enemies. My point here is not the details of immigration policy so much as making sure we remember this principle from Scripture. We can disagree on details - or even have sharp disagreements on what the general policy should be - but as Christians we have to submit to the principle God sets out here.
One of the reasons why I am a bit perplexed by your executive order is that you banned all immigration from Syria and Iraq, where you have admitted that Christians are subjected to horrific persecution by Muslim terrorists. It is strange to outright ban immigration from those nations, after you complained bitterly in the campaign that we are allegedly not doing enough to help Christians persecuted by Muslim terrorists.
We need stronger vetting of immigrants from Muslim-majority nations and we need to protect our national security and our people. A blanket ban of all immigration from seven nations - especially where Christians are being tortured, decapitated and crucified by Muslim terrorists - is an overreaction and is the policy equivalent of smacking a spider with a twenty pound sledgehammer when a newspaper would get the job done.
President Trump, you were granted authority by God to be the President of these United States. The same is true of all of your predecessors. All authority flows from Almighty God and you would have no authority had it not been granted to you by God. Therefore, you have a special responsibility to submit to God's commandments found in Holy Scripture. God will judge you based on your obedience and submission to Him over these next four years. More importantly, He will judge our nation.
I urge you to strongly reconsider these policies and pray for wisdom and discernment from God. Most of all, I urge you to read and study First Corinthians 13 about the importance of love. Your Vice President is a dedicated man of God and will be a great resource to help you discern His will.


Flank Steak Bavette is a fantastic cut of meat, full of flavour and extremely tender, coming from the abdominal muscles of the cattle. A relatively long and flat cut, flank steak is used in a variety of dishes including London broil and as an alternative to the cut for fajitas. It can be grilled, pan-fried, broiled, or braised for increased tenderness. The Bavette also makes a delicious standby for steak sandwiches and week night dinners.


This is not then, although it feels like it.
At first, it feels a little peculiar; and then, gradually, the familiarity diffuses through the peculiarity and you can't quite work out where you are.
I am trying to bring myself back into present.
Only I know that it is not.
No. No. I made a promise: no going back.
This is not then, although the echo has stopped me in my tracks.

I hope you have people giving you support and good times in the here and now. This makes it so much easier for me to work through my attachment to the past.
The ED may feel like home, but I can pretty much bet that it's a dysfunctional, dirty and mean home. Even if on the surface, all seems okay, it is abusive and destructive and will eventually show it's true colours.
You are moving towards a life where life – and not food – is the centre of your attention. You are moving towards a place where friends and opportunities for love and affection wait for you, and not loneliness and isolation. You are moving towards acting and being in the moment, being part of the picture, instead of sitting on the outside.
Review all the strategies that worked before and put them in place, one tiny step and one day at a time. Because they did work – even though the ED Critic will say they didn't – and they did help – even though she'll say what's the point. And when she shouts, shout louder.
*hugs* You've done so well, been so brave. Keep fighting.
Recovery isn't always a straight line, it isn't always as clear cut as well/notwell or using behavours/notusing behavours – there are shades inbetween and good patches and not so great, but, even if it doesn't feel like it, you are still moving forward. Lapsing doesn't 'undo' all that's done, and it doesn't have to mean a return to an ED life, it's just a bad patch but that fact you're using all the tools you have, putting stratergies in place to keep the progress going show how far you've come.
Thanks for sharing, Issa. In brief, the echo image resounds (no pun intended) because, for me at least, it effectively describes the constant noise that doesn't seem to go away and the confusion that comes with it.
Are we done? Is that the real noise or just something meaningless? Am I 'hearing things' and making a big deal out of nothing?

Q: Detect when command line tool will exit I'm creating a command line utility in Swift. In the main.swift I have a class, that opens up a process with Process. Until this process is running, my application should run as well. I accomplish this by calling:
let sema = DispatchSemaphore(value: 0)

let myClass = MainClass(..., errorHandler: {
    print("anything went wrong here, so end the application")
    sema.signal()   // ends this programm
})

sema.wait()

This works pretty well... when the errorHandler is called, sema.signal() ends my tool. But how can I have the opposite way? When I end my app manually (in Xcode), the process continues running.
I have this code to open up the process:
self.task = Process()
self.task!.executableURL = runURL
self.task!.currentDirectoryURL = directoryURL
self.task!.arguments = arguments
// The ouput of the process
let errorPipe = Pipe()
let outputPipe = Pipe()
self.task!.standardError = errorPipe
self.task!.standardOutput = outputPipe
self.errorHandler = errorPipe.fileHandleForReading
self.outputHandler = outputPipe.fileHandleForReading

self.errorHandler!.readabilityHandler = { pipe in
  ...
  errorHandler()
}

self.outputHandler!.readabilityHandler = { pipe in
  ...
}

try? self.task!.run()

EDIT
I'm calling /bin/sh tail -f myfile.log in the process to observe a logfile. After ending, tail is still running in the activity monitor.

A: Ending the process in Xcode sends a SIGKILL and as far as I understand, you cannot do anything to react on that, because the OS kills the process. But what you can do is react on the SIGINT, if you press Ctrl + C in the terminal:
signal(SIGINT) { signal in
    task.terminate()
    sema.signal()
}

sema.wait()

Amazing. I love the harmonies, such a wonderful sound. I gave it as a gift. Song transports us – as my mother said – Song is God's gift to us to help us connect to each other and to him.
The mixing is done masterfully! The meaning around the texts emerges along with the familiar and those I've heard for the first time. Well done! Should be included in worship occasions.

A Code of Jewish Ethics, Volume 2; Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
Jewish thinkers don't talk all that much about love. All too often we leave that to Christian theologians. But in this excellent volume, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin puts the commandment to love at the center of Jewish theology and experience. This is a book that will change the way you think about–and practice–Judaism.�
–Professor Ari L. Goldman, Columbia University, and author of The Search for God at Harvard
"Love your neighbor as yourself� is the best-known commandment in the Bible. Yet we rarely hear anyone talk about how to apply these words in daily life. In this landmark work, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, one of the premier scholars and thinkers of our time, gives both Jews and non-Jews an extraordinary summation of what Jewish tradition teaches about putting these words into practice.
Writing with great clarity and simplicity as well as with deep wisdom, Telushkin covers topics such as love and kindness, hospitality, visiting the sick, comforting mourners, charity, relations between Jews and non-Jews, compassion for animals, tolerance, self-defense, and end-of-life issues. This second volume of the first major code of Jewish ethics written in the English language is breathtaking in its scope and will undoubtedly influence readers for generations to come. It offers hundreds of practical examples from the Torah, the Talmud, the Midrash, and both ancient and modern rabbinic commentaries–as well as contemporary anecdotes–all teaching us how to care for one another each and every day.
A Code of Jewish Ethics, Volume 2: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself is a consummate work of scholarship. Like its acclaimed predecessor, which received the National Jewish Book Award, it is rich with ideas to contemplate and discuss, while being primarily a book to live by. Nothing could be more important in these strife-torn times than learning how to love our neighbors as ourselves. The message of this book is as vital and timely now as it has been since time immemorial.
