"The two things that keep me from the worst of self-pity are that everyone's done it so that ordinary people are as brave as I could ever be or as less brave as I could ever be.
The second thing that really matters to me is that in my time, which is mostly the 20th century, people have died horribly, billions of people have died horribly, in Auschwitz, in Darfur, or dying of starvation or dying multiply raped in the Congo or dying horribly like that.
I think look how comfortably I am dying, I have friends and family, I am in this wonderful country, I have money, there is nothing much wrong with me except dying.
When I think of how privileged I am. I had two brothers who died of drink and they died miserably and under- privileged and here I am as usual the lucky one in the family."
Think on that, on your sunny, breezy, glorious Memorial Day.
Nor, in fact, does it run in families. Two nights ago, my dad wondered aloud if poor Ted Kennedy's brain tumour was what had caused him in recent months to endorse Barack Obama. Then, being a sensical man, he ducked. Because he knew something was going to come flying at him from my end of the table.
Yesterday, on my way to the local hippie-crunch food store for more organic kale and carrots to juice (seriously), I saw a bumper sticker: I MISS RONALD REAGAN.
Is it wrong that my first instinct was to roll down the window and yell, "Hinckley didn't!" ?
You fought a good fight, Mr. Man, and in the end I'm sorry I wasn't home to tell you it was okay to go. You were a friend and a companion to me, and to my beloved husband, in some very dark times. Like the Native American legends of Coyote, you were also a jester, often a klutz, and occasionally too dumb to be believed (like all those times you fell into the bathwater with me because you slipped on my washcloth). You drove me crazy by shitting in the bathtub whenever my parents or my in-laws came over, your unerring ability to search and destroy freshly clean laundry (pictured here refusing to give Asia her sweatshirt back), and let's not even mention that time you looked squarely at us to make sure we were watching, and then peed into my new leather briefcase, all over my journal.
In the last month, you'd made it pretty clear that the end of our time together was approaching. You did this in various ways, not limited to chronic constipation, refusal of all food except liverwurst and cooked bacon, severe dehydration requiring daily fluid replacement, utter incontinence, inability to jump onto furniture or ultimately even climb stairs, and a seizure brought on by low blood sugar. Still, each time I brought you to the vet for what I thought was a date with euthanasia, you perked up and pulled another life out of your furry bag of tricks--Coyote strikes again. This morning, you reached in and found that bag finally empty.
You will be sorely missed, little dude. Thanks for taking care of us all these years. I can only hope we returned the favour when it was most needed.

Asim Munir takes charge as 17th army chief of Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- General Asim Munir on Tuesday took charge as the 17th army chief of Pakistan in a ceremony held in the military's general headquarters in Rawalpindi in the country's eastern Punjab province.
The outgoing army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa handed over the baton of command to Munir in the ceremony witnessed by senior civil and military officers, diplomats and public officeholders.
Addressing the ceremony, Bajwa, who remained in the office for six years, hoped that the appointment of Munir would prove to be positive for both the country and the army.
Munir was appointed as the chief of army staff of the country on Thursday when President Arif Alvi approved Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif's recommendation to select him for the office.
He will remain army chief for a term of three years, as per the country's constitution.
The new army chief was promoted to the rank of a three-star general in September 2018. He also remained the director general of Military Intelligence, and the Inter-Services Intelligence of the country. ■

But I'm no longer on death's door. I wish the abdominal cramping would go away.
Maybe I will try some charcoal?
It might…I don't have any though.
What, really, are gnomes? Are you talking about worms?
Gnomes…little creatures having a party in my intestines. Today their party was so loud Jennifer and Kat could hear them from across the room. Never in my life have I experienced a gnome party like this one.
You poor thing! Make sure you are re hydrating enough- not enough fluids can aggravate the cramps.
Yeah…good thought. Since I haven't been eating anything, I'm sure I'm not getting enough fluids either! I wonder how gym will go tomorrow???????

ATTWOOD: SINN FEIN GIVING DUP A 'SOFT LANDING' OVER NAMA SCANDAL
SDLP Justice Spokesperson Alex Attwood MLA has asked why Sinn Féin is committed to giving the DUP a soft landing on NAMA by resisting an Assembly statement from the First and deputy First Ministers.
And he asked why is Sinn Fein resisting calls for a joint NCA/PSNI and an Garda Síochána investigation team into criminal allegations relating to the Project Eagle sale.
Speaking after an Opposition Day debate in the Assembly, he said:
"Today's debate is about accountability around NAMA – will there be more or will there be less?
"The DUP used the recent opinion of the NCA as a smokescreen to resist accountability. They say it is "bizarre" for more inquiry given the NCA advice. But there was a criminal investigation at the same time as the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry and there may well be a Dublin Commission of investigation as the NCA continues its work.
"The line between a criminal inquiry and a separate investigation can be properly and successfully navigated. The DUP know this. Their resistance is to accountability – nothing more and nothing less.
"The question for Sinn Fein is – why give the DUP a soft landing on NAMA? The SDLP, Ulster Unionist Party, Alliance, Green Party and Independents called for the First Minister and deputy First Minister to make 'a statement to the Assembly'. Not a big ask.
"Yet the Sinn Féin deleted 'Assembly' from the motion and called for a statement only. It seems some want to rush to the sound of clicking cameras rather than the hard questions of MLAs on the floor of the Assembly.
"Why would Sinn Féin give the DUP a soft landing and avoid an Assembly statement? It seems that non-aggression between the DUP and Sinn Fein now extends to NAMA.
"Equally, the SDLP, Ulster Unionists, Alliance, Green party and Independents urged consideration of an all-Ireland criminal investigation. Yet Sinn Fein, who claim to promote all-Ireland, resisted such an approach.
"What was this all about? An all-Ireland criminal investigation would be a first but a good first.
"What has anyone to fear now or in the future? Why would Sinn Féin resist such a strong approach?
"There was a position of strength in the Ulster Unionist motion and the SDLP amendment, yet Sinn Fein sought to dilute its impact. No joint First Minister/deputy First Minister statement to the Assembly, no NCA/Gardai joint criminal investigation.
"The DUP joined with Sinn Féin on their NAMA amendment because it was the least worst option for them and offered the least transparency for the public."

5/15/2009 7:33 am Yes, cool RFE!
5/15/2009 7:57 am These have been features of WebGUI for years. There's a switch in the settings to force SSL on logins. There's the setting to force it on any asset. And if you want to force it on the whole site, then you just do it using Apache.
5/24/2009 4:23 pm Ok, perhaps I'm not getting the whole picture. I have a site in 7.6.22. I have a ssl enabled in the WebGUI config, I have ssl enabled in modproxy and I've set Settings->User->Encrypt Login to 'yes'.
Am I right in thinking that all that happens is that a login form gets "https" on the action?
5/24/2009 4:45 pm Yes, that is what happens. Then the user is punted back into non-SSL mode.
5/24/2009 5:17 pm I would image that at least the form in Settings->Users should also be sent via ssl.
Now I've written a Rewrite rule to force it for the whole site, as JT suggested, but it would be elegant to enforce it for all forms with a password.
5/24/2009 6:29 pm Oh, and the email to reset the password, that might also contain a https link.
Update the User Manager to force SSL when the SSL enabled option is turned on in the config file?

UofL awarded $600K grant to train high school science teachers in energy-related research
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville is strengthening its ties to the community and furthering science education with a $600,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) award that will fund professional development for Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) high school science teachers.
The grant establishes UofL as a new site for the NSF's Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering program. Thirty JCPS high school science teachers will be selected over the next three summers to participate in training that focuses on energy-related research. Additionally, teachers will be able to modify and augment existing science curriculum for the following academic school year.
The site is a joint project between the J.B. Speed School of Engineering and the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD). Initially, 10 teachers will begin working with UofL faculty in the summer of 2020.
"An energy-literate culture is important to understanding the energy-related environmental, political and economic concerns of the modern world," said UofL President Neeli Bendapudi. "The JCPS teachers trained at our site will go on to educate their colleagues and thousands of high school students. I congratulate both Speed and CEHD on winning the funding for this important cooperative work."
"Energy represents a unifying theme across all scientific domains," said Brian S. Robinson, assistant professor in Speed's engineering fundamentals department and co-director of the project with Justin McFadden, assistant professor of science education in CEHD. "We will focus on ideas that are part of Kentucky's high school science standards to improve high school students' understanding of fundamental energy concepts and engineering design principles. We believe this may further students' career interests in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields."

Well, if we're on silly games, lets have this one.
Around May day , the people of Coopers Hill, Gloucestershire and many, many outsiders gather to compete in the annual Cheese Chase.
A number of men gather at the top the hill, and a 7lb wheel of double gloucster cheese is bowled down the hill. The men give chase, and the first one to catch the cheese, or cross the finishing line keeps it. The young farmers association, and rugby teams are firm favourites for this.
Dunno, but there are 24 winks in a Tiddlywinks set. It's a whole new language!
The squop is the most important shot in the winker's repertoire, involving the placement of the played wink on top of another wink - thus stopping the covered wink from being played, and stopping it from contributing to the score of its owning player. A squop is typically played with the squidger tilted towards the direction of travel of the played wink. Where possible, most people find it easier to squop towards themselves, moving the squidger off the end of the wink most distant from themselves. Many players use a squopping motion, playing away from themselves, to bring winks into the game from the baseline. Squopping sends a wink in quite a low trajectory.

I thought about the kind of people who come to the sea to look at it: how they put themselves down on whatever rock or bench is around and gaze for hours into the distance as though something out there makes life seem meaningful, or at least less incomprehensible. What are they looking at? I asked myself. What do they see when they see the sea? Most people seemed to find the sea deeply interesting but it held no particular depth or virtue for me. The most profound effect the sea had on me was that sometimes, from the living-room window, it quite literally made me want to throw up. I'd always thought that people who liked the sea were people who didn't like society, that it was people who'd failed in their relationships who turned to the sea. There was something in their glazed faces — leaning on harbour railings, walking along the crumbling promenade, staring over the tops of their newspapers — which disturbed me. It seemed they wanted to be immersed in it, that as they looked out at the sea they entered into a special relationship with it which, to a certain extent, entitled them to speak to it. Because people who spent too much time looking at the sea did start to commune with it, as if nature held the answer to all of life's important questions, their expressions suggesting that they were not so much watching the sea as conversing with it. I could tell from the way they sat, dead still, that the sea spoke to them and that they, for their part, were receptive to its communication. But what was the sea saying to them? The sea didn't speak to me. What do you say to them that you won't say to me? I asked the sea, but the sea was silent and had no communication to make.
This passage made me laugh (which I think — although I'm not entirely sure — was the writer's mischievous intention). So I had to include it in my collection of passages about the sea, didn't I?
And I suspect I always will!
The most soothing voice in the world!


The original brief was to replace the original badly decayed timber frame with steel clad in timber. We persuaded the client to adopt a different approach and to build an authentic oak frame. The building was completed within the budget and we think is incomparably better than might otherwise have been the case.
Moulded sling braces and twin purlins with tiered wind braces make for a truly elegant structure.
Carved columns and carefully worked mouldings give the raised tie style trusses a restrained beauty.

In Person Training - Key West
We all want to breathe clean air. During a global pandemic, air purification systems have started marketing themselves as a way to protect you from dangerous viruses. They seem like a good idea, but they're not going to help the way most people want. Here's what the different systems can do.
These units draw the air in, run it across a filter and blow cleaner air out. Some include a UV-C lamp to kill viruses and bacteria that are drawn through the device.
Most do clean the air they pump out, with varying levels of effectiveness. According to Consumer Reports, here are the things air purifiers can help with.
Pollutants such as smoke from tobacco, wood burning, and cooking; gases from cleaning products and building materials; dust mites; mold; and pet dander all contribute to an unhealthy indoor environment that have ill effects on human health.
Fine particles 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller, including those found in dust and smoke, are especially a concern because they can find their way deep into the lungs. Breathing in particles for just hours or days is enough to aggravate lungs and cause asthma attacks, and has been linked to heart attacks in people with heart disease. According to the EPA, long-term exposure to high particle levels is linked to bronchitis, reduced lung function, and premature death.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde, that are released into the air from adhesives, paints, and cleaning products can cause nose, throat, and eye irritation; headaches; nausea; and damage to the liver, kidney, and nervous system. Some gases, such as radon, cause lung cancer and death.
Consumer Reports found that air purifiers do these things well.
The air purifiers that do well in our tests are proved in our labs to be good at filtering dust, smoke, and pollen from the air.
They don't do these things.
An air purifier can remove allergens only while they're floating in the air. Larger, heavier allergens, such as mites, mold, and pollen, settle to the ground so quickly that the air purifier can't capture them in time.
And these things we still don't know.
Radon is another blind spot for air purifiers and other air cleaners, according to the EPA: Studies are inconclusive on air purifiers' ability to tackle this dangerous gas. And in fact, there is insufficient research on air purifiers that address gaseous pollutants as a group, so it's unclear how effective air purifiers are. There is also limited data on the effect of ionizer air purifiers on health.
One other thing we know for sure, air purifiers aren't designed to protect you from dangerous germs like the virus that causes COVID-19. Let's assume you have a device with a filter that can capture viruses. Then assume it has a UV-C light in the unit that's powerful enough to kill viruses. That only guarantees you air that's clean the moment it leaves the machine.
Now go in a room with someone who's got COVID-19 and they aren't wearing a mask. Every breath they take is spraying viral particles around the room. If you're between the infected person and the air purifier, those infectious droplets are moving right toward you, getting inhaled deep in your lungs before they can ever make it to the air purifier. Every time that infected person exhales, they're contaminating everything and everyone they're near.
Unless you're sitting directly in front of the air purifier's exhaust, and you know it's a unit that can kill viruses, you shouldn't count on them for protection against germs.
If you're looking for an air purifier, we suggest you start by going through the Consumer Reports Buying Guide here: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/air-purifiers/buying-guide/index.htm
Room air purifiers.
UV Germicidal Lights for Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC)
Air conditioners use filters to clean the air they move. For an extra level of protection, you can install a UV-C light to kill bacteria and viruses. Those lights also kill mold and fungi, preventing them from growing inside your AC system. That means cleaner air coming out of your vents and fewer harsh chemicals need to be used when the units are cleaned.
However, you can't count on those lights for protection from viruses. Just like room air purifiers, the air is only clean when it leaves the vents. Once it crosses the path of someone breathing germs into the air, everything mixes and the contamination can spread.
For healthier air coming out of your vents and lower maintenance costs with air conditioning systems, UV-C lights work great. For protection against viruses? Not so much.
The video below is an excellent explanation of what they do and how they work.
Outside Air
Increase circulation of outdoor air whenever possible by opening windows and doors, using fans, etc. Do not open windows and doors if the temperature outside is too hot or cold. You should also keep windows and doors closed if they pose a safety risk to children using the facility.

Enjoy your Möbius strip! 14 Going in the other direction, if one glues a disk to a Möbius strip by identifying their boundaries, the result is the projective plane. By this property, for any two points in the Möbius strip, it is possible to draw a path between the two points without lifting your pencil from the piece of paper or crossing the edge. Rotate it around a fixed point not in its plane. Here is how to make a Möbius strip: Cut a long strip of paper. This allows for a very wide variety of geometric versions of the Möbius band as surfaces each having a definite size and shape. Wolfram Demonstration Project: Vélez-Jahn's Möbius Toroidal Polyhedron This was the third time Gardner had featured the Möbius strip in his column. This folded strip, three times as long as it is wide, would be long enough to then join at the ends. All you need to do is cut a long strip of paper, put a half twist in it, and glue or tape the ends together. Cut down the center of the Mobius strip again and then you will have 2 interlocking ones. Möbius band with round boundary edit The edge, or boundary, of a Möbius strip is homeomorphic (topologically equivalent) to a circle. To obtain an embedding of the Möbius strip in R 3 one maps S 3 to R 3 via a stereographic projection. #1853 What Is Pascals Triangle? What are you wondering? In graph theory, the Möbius ladder is a cubic graph closely related to the Möbius strip. The trick, known as the Afghan bands, was very popular in the first half of the twentieth century. In the cases of negative and zero curvature, the Möbius band can be constructed as a (geodesically) complete surface, which means that all geodesics straight lines" on the surface) may be extended indefinitely in either direction. The Möbius Strip :. A ray-traced parametric plot of a Möbius strip. Don't say we didn't warn you, though. Just get some paper, scissors, tape, and a pencil. In particular, the twisted paper model is a developable surface, having zero Gaussian curvature. In this sense, the space of lines in the plane has no natural metric. Möbius strips are common in the manufacture of fabric computer printer and typewriter ribbons, as they let the ribbon be twice as wide as the print head while using both halves evenly. The group of isometries of this Möbius band is also 1-dimensional and isomorphic to the orthogonal group O(2). Most surfaces are orientable. 7 With two folds, for example, a 1 1 strip would become a 1 folded strip whose cross section is in the shape of an 'N' papers and would remain an 'N' after a half-twist. Escher showed in his famous picture, Möbius Strip II (Red Ants ants could walk on a Mobius strip on a single surface indefinitely!
The Möbius strip has played a prominent role in mathematics. However, escher, given by GL2, david, thereapos. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being unorientable. Vögtle, and" s no better way to learn more about the Mobius strip than by making your very own. quot; hilbert, other analogous strips can be obtained by similarly literature joining strips with two or more halftwists in them instead of one. R but this high degree of symmetry cannot be exhibited as the group of isometries of any metric.

State Seeks Ban on Styrofoam Carry-Out Cartons
California is seeking to ban Styrofoam carry-out containers (Photo by Renee Comet, courtesy of the National Cancer Institute)
This week, one state is voting on a bill that would make it illegal for restaurants to serve takeout food in Styrofoam. Rebecca Williams has more:
A number of cities have banned Styrofoam food containers – including San Francisco, Seattle and Portland. And now California lawmakers are deciding whether to ban the containers.
The bill says styrofoam is a big litter problem. And animals can choke on pieces of it.
The World Health Organization's cancer research agency says styrene is a possible human carcinogen. Styrene is the stuff styrofoam's made out of.
Jerry Hill is the Assembly member who introduced the bill in California. He says the American Chemistry Council and other groups are making it hard for him to get the votes he needs.
"You would think the world was going to come to an end if we were to prohibit and ban Styrofoam. It's an industry that whether you look at the chemical industry, the restaurant industry that's opposing it, and they are very vocal and very powerful."
The opponents say there's no reason for the ban, and they say it would be bad for the economy.

Hunters, Fishers Down
The numbers of people who hunt, fish and watch wildlife went down again in 2006, according to a survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Tracy Samilton reports:
https://environmentreport.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/spot_samilton_091707.mp3
The number of people who fished in 2006 was down 12 percent from 5 years ago.
Hunting numbers were also down a little, about 4 percent:
Jerry Leonard is an economist with US Fish & Wildlife Service. He says since 1996,
fewer people have been passing down the tradition of hunting and fishing to their
children. He says that isn't great news from an economic standpoint:
"The money that is spent on wildlife-related recreation is huge. In fact, over 120 billion
dollars. That's approximately equivalent to 1 percent of the gross domestic product in the
Still, even though fewer people are involved in wildlife recreation, spending on the
activities is slightly up from 2001, mostly due to inflation and higher license fees being
charged by states.

Who Should Watch Big Farms?

Big livestock operations can raise thousands of cows, chickens or pigs
under one roof. It helps keep the price of food lower. But neighbors
complain the government's not doing a good enough job of monitoring the
pollution these farms produce. Rebecca Williams reports there's a
debate heating up in several states over who should be regulating these
big farms:
The days of small farms with different kinds of livestock grazing in
the pasture are fading from the landscape.
They're being replaced by farms that specialize in one kind of animal –
and raise thousands of them. They're called concentrated animal
feeding operations, or CAFOs.
There are battles in several states right now over who should be keeping an eye
on the CAFOs. Usually, the state departments of environmental
protection have power under the federal Clean Water Act to enforce laws
and issue permits. But in the Midwest, in states such as Ohio and
Michigan, and in the West, in states such as Oregon and Idaho, they either have transferred or are working to transfer oversight power to the state agriculture departments – and get U.S. EPA approval.
Jerry Van Woerkom is a Republican state senator in Michigan. Right
now, the state Department of Environmental Quality – or DEQ – has the
oversight powers. But Senator Van Woerkom is sponsoring a package of
bills that would put most of the state's big livestock farms under the
Department of Agriculture:
"Those people tend to be supportive and come with the attitude of we're
going to try to work together to solve this problem. Whereas when they
work with the DEQ the attitude is more like we're coming with a
hammer and if we find anything you've done that's out of line, we're
going to wop you with it."
The CAFOs are in the spotlight because they can produce tens of
thousands of gallons of urine and manure each day. That liquefied
manure is eventually spread onto farm fields.
The Environmental Protection Agency says that waste can wash from
fields into streams and creeks. That can cause fish kills. Animal
waste has also gotten into drinking water and made people sick.
Lynn Henning runs a small farm. She says there are 13 CAFOs within a
10 mile radius of her Michigan farmhouse. She says the manure odors
are overwhelming:
"We can't hang laundry when the emissions are in the air. We have
severe fly outbreaks. We've had family farmers that have been diagnosed with hydrogen
sulfide poisoning from emissions from the CAFOs."
Henning says the current oversight system is weak. She says the
Department of Environmental Quality doesn't have enough funding to
monitor the CAFOs. So that job often falls to residents like her. She
says putting the Department of Agriculture in charge of oversight would
make the problems even worse:
"The MDA has no enforcement authority and they promote agriculture in
Michigan. It's like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.
You can't give authority to punish to an agency that's promoting."
But it could become a wider trend if the states that are proposing the
switch now actually make it happen.
Karla Raettig is an attorney with the Environmental Integrity Project.
It's a group that's been critical of weakening environmental laws.
She's been tracking trends in enforcement of livestock farms:
"I think the Farm Bureau and other really large industry advocates are
seeing a chance to get regulation that is perhaps more cooperative,
less regulatory and less on the enforcement side. It isn't totally
nefarious but I think it could have outcomes that are not anticipated."
Raettig says you have to wonder what will happen without the threat of
enforcement from an environmental agency.
But Senator Jerry Van Woerkom from Michigan argues that farmers are
more likely to do the right thing if they're overseen by a friendlier
agency, as he proposes:
"I mean you're not able to cover up problems that happen, it gets in
the newspaper, people know when problems happen. But I believe that the
agriculture department will work with people, especially if people are
getting a bad reputation. I think they will work with them and if
those people do get out of line, it's back to the DEQ."
Environmentalists and small farmers are worried about the idea of
states handing off oversight of CAFOs… from their environmental
watchdog agencies to their agencies in charge of promoting the business
of agriculture.

Nature Profile: Outdoor Worship
Outdoor enthusiast Jerry Sherman. (photo by Colleen Sherman)
People enjoy nature for all kinds of reasons. In our occasional series about people's
connections to the environment, producer Kyle Norris spent time with a recreational
hunter and fisher who says that when he spends time in nature he never feels any
https://environmentreport.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/feature_norris_060407.mp3
Jerry Sherman can fix anything, and he's fixed a few things around my house. He's
always carrying a coffee cup with him everywhere he goes. And he's one of those guys
who wears those dark, working men jeans. And cowboy shirts with pearl buttons. We took a
walk the other day and talked a lot about fishing and hunting. I was wondering how he
got into those things:
"When I first started I was a foreman and I was under a tremendous amount of pressure
there's always somebody in your face all day long. Either talking to somebody or on the
phone. So then, when you get outside and get away from people, you can be in your own
little world, and think whatever you want to think… there's no body… what do I do here,
what do I do there."
KN: Jerry has a couple of friends – actually they're a pair of twins – that he likes to go
fishing with. But a lot of times it's also about being alone:
"It's both of those things. There are days that I want to be by myself and just go fish by
myself and there's days that you feel that need to be with your friends. And that's when
you want to fish with them. Good example, the other day, when we were fishing we spend
time together then all three of us go off in different directions. That does two things: it gives us
more area to cover, but we all enjoy fishing alone to a certain amount."
I think Jerry and I feel similarly about nature. It makes us feel calmer. If he's like me, it's
kind of about being part of a bigger picture. So I asked him, what he feels when he's alone in
nature:
"You're feeling great and there are some times you just sit down and do some praying on
your own sometimes. And you can pray to God in your
own way and nobody's putting any pressure on you…Well, in a church you kind of feel
like you're sometimes pressured into praying a certain prayer for somebody, and you're
out in nature you can pray for whatever you want and nobody's looking at you or putting
any kind of pressure on you. Does that make any kind of sense? 'Cause I think everybody
prays to a certain extent. Uh, I just find a rock and sit down and meditate. Maybe talk to
Jerry said the last thing he prayed for was his family, which is funny because hunting
and fishing are ways for him to get away from his family:
"Well, there again a lot of the reason you go out there is to kinda relax and unwind. Kind of
retune your body and mind. And when you back to be around your family I'd say you're
kind of relaxed and out from underneath all this pressure. You kind of get a chance to sort
things out."
Like Jerry, maybe all of us need a chance to get away from everybody. And spend some
time in nature. And sort things out.

Commentary – Preach Truth About Global Warming

Some Christians take issue with their conservative brothers in faith when it
comes to global warming. Commentator Gary Schlueter says he's a Christian,
but he doesn't see anything wrong with believing in the science that
indicates global warming is partly caused by human activity:
In Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, we are warned to beware of the two
children under Father Christmas' long red robe, this boy ignorance and this
girl want, but especially beware of this boy. Race forward a century or so and
we have Reverend Jerry Falwell concluding, "I believe that global warming is a myth."
I repeat, beware this boy, ignorance!
Reverend Falwell, an influential evangelical Christian leader, is not alone among
his contemporaries in preaching that global warming is a myth, or worse: some clerical
leaders say to believe otherwise could jeopardize one's salvation.
The Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, the ISA, is a mixed bag of religious leaders,
scientists and policy experts who, through a dark glass, shine a Biblical light on the
issues of environment and development. According to the ISA, "most U.S. evangelicals do not
back the call for regulating greenhouse emissions." I repeat, beware this boy!
Recently, a group of more moderate Christian evangelical leaders joined together to
form the Evangelical Climate Initiative. They say global warming is real, that humans are
causing it, and that we need to do something about it. The ISA stands firmly against them.
The question is, why?
Why, in the face of hard warnings on the cover of the conservative Time Magazine with headlines
that read to "be worried. Be very worried" about global warming? Why, when the NASA scientist who
warned us 25 years ago that human activity was changing the Earth's climate now warns
us we have a decade before we pass the point of no return? Got that? Point of no return.
Ten years! Why, against the growing tide of public and clerical opinion that mankind's
contribution to global warming must be stopped, do they tell their flock to be like
Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Newman and not to worry?
Are these Mad Magazine evangelicals antagonistic toward science because science brought
us the concept of evolution? Can they be so petty? Or do they see global warming as a way
to fulfill their direst prophecies of gloom and doom? Can they be so proud? Or is it their
sheer greed to gobble up Earth's resources that brings them smiling sanguinely to the brink of
a disaster so profound the habititability of our entire planet is at risk? Can they be so selfish?
Selfish, proud, petty? Beware this boy!
This Earth is our only real sanctuary, it is a gift of God, how can it be of so
little concern to these anti-Earth evangelicals that they can continue to preach against it,
preach against God's gift? I conclude, beware this boy, ignorance!

My friend and her husband were traveling up the coast of Oregon. It was a beautiful trip because of the combination of redwoods and ocean cliffs! They had stopped along the way and were exploring the beach, when her husband slipped somehow and cut his foot quite severely on the rocks. I believe bone might have even been showing it was such a deep cut!
The most logical thing to do next would have been to make their way back to their car and find the nearest Emergency Room. But this is not what happened. Her husband walked toward the water…toward the SALT water, and he put his foot into the water! YOUCH! That was my thinking when she told me this story! But what happened next was truly a miracle! When the water receded, and he once again could see the cut on his foot, the cut was GONE! Yes! GONE! Completely healed!
My friend's husband didn't have to dip seven times. He wasn't instructed to do so. But somewhere in his inner thoughts, by the power of the Holy Spirit, he was directed towards the salt water and not away from it. He was directed towards what could have hurt his open wound tremendously, instead of going to an Emergency Room for help. What seems ridiculous to the human mind healed my friend's husband instantly by the power of an "unseen" God!
Not all wounds will be healed instantly in salt water along the seashore. In fact, most wounds will STING if we try such a thing! I didn't even want salt to touch the small cut on my finger this morning. But, by listening closely to our "unseen" God, we will SEE many things that cannot be explained in human terms! If we walk in the direction given to us from the Heavenly realms, it will bring those Heavenly realms into our earthly ones, and we will be astounded at all that is possible with God! When God says, "Walk this way." Let's do it!!
Searching And Noticing the Divine will help us see that God is everywhere, and sometimes even showing Himself to us in miraculous ways!!
