On Wednesday 26th September at 7pm, Tapestry Church will be launching our first Bible Study! Why should you come? Why invite your friends? Because regularly diving into Scripture is one really tangible way that God forms and shapes us into God's likeness. Doing this alongside other people weaves us together as family, through the work of the Holy Spirit. Getting together like this also gives us an easy opportunity to invite our friends, neighbors, co-workers to get a taste of what God has to offer them and the world. Showing up to a bible study is often less intimidating than coming to church on a Sunday, so be thinking of one or two people you might want to invite to come with you!
When we are together, we will be working our way through the book of Galatians. This is a book written by Paul to people who are having a hard time remembering that their salvation is founded in God's promise, not in their own religious achievements. Galatians is a book full of writing about how Christians are to live a life full of the freedom we get from Christ - a freedom found not in the law, or in unhindered liberty to do whatever we want, but in walking toe to toe with Jesus, led by the Holy Spirit.
To help guide our explorations, we will be using a book called "Galatians For You" by Tim Keller. These books will be provided by Tapestry and distributed at the first Bible Study gathering. That means we need you to please sign up so we have enough books for you! We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday!


My hands are always such a letdown for me.
There is nothing I like more than feeling all manicured and put together, but on a day-to-day basis I suffer from dry hands and cuticles, and my paws always look like they need a little love.
They did, now they are looking far, far better thanks to Dr. Ceuticals' Super Repair Hand Cream. The formula is light enough that it sinks in easily but it packs quite a moisturizing punch. If you're looking to avoid Madonna-esque claws, I would try this out too – Q10 and a pro-collegen in the cream is specifically designed for anti-aging properties. It has a lovely light, clean scent, and it works wonders on my hands.
The cream is priced at £9.99 and is available from Boots.

Suzie Tullett: Even more excitement in the Tullett household!
Two blog posts in one day... I know, very unusual for me!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading your published book - do you know the publication date yet?
Thanks, Dee. It's early days so publication date as of yet, plus I still have the editing process to go through.

The Flash Recap: Learn to Fly
By Angelica Jade Bastién
Legends of Today
Editor's Rating 3 stars ***

The second season of The Flash hasn't been building up to an epic resolution of the Zoom story line, but instead, it's built it to this crossover episode. That's right: The setup for Legends of Tomorrow is nearly over.
I'm mildly interested in Legends of Tomorrow because of its bonkers cast. Nevertheless, I wasn't looking forward to this crossover, which will conclude in tomorrow's episode of Arrow, despite the presence of one of my favorite DC villains. "Legends of Today" feels less like storytelling and more like corporate synergy. It's hard to be fully invested in anything that develops — like Cisco's fledgling relationship with Kendra — because I know that once Legends of Tomorrow debuts in January, these stories won't really affect The Flash anymore.
The bright side of the crossover? It's fun to watch these characters interact with each other. My Flash-obsessed inner child is simply gleeful about it. And even though the storytelling leaves much to be desired, the actors have great chemistry together.
The thrust of the episode concerns the emergence of Vandal Savage, a big-time villain in the comics who has made memorable appearances in several DC animated series. His story has been tweaked for his live-action debut, but the broad strokes are pretty much the same: immortal madman, extremely skilled, power hungry, no respect for human life.
We meet Savage after a police transfer goes bust in a very bloody way, which puts Joe, Patty, and Barry in his path. That have no idea who they're really dealing with, and Savage's true goal takes shape pretty quickly. He's hellbent on finding and killing Kendra. The first time he tries, he spoils what should have been a romantic date between her and Cisco. She had cooked a fine meal, which they're eating at the coffee shop after hours. (Does she not have an apartment?) Cisco sends a distress signal to Barry, and narrowly misses getting a blade in his chest from Savage. Before Barry can lay any sort of beatdown on Savage, though, the man pulls a Batman and disappears without anyone noticing. Barry isn't able to figure out much, aside from the fact that the blade is centuries old and Savage clearly isn't a metahuman.
And that's when he gets the idea to tap Team Arrow for help. They'll hide Kendra in Star City and figure out a plan. After all, Barry asks, how busy can they be? Very, apparently. They're still contending with Damien Darhk, who nearly kills Oliver before Barry saves him. There are a lot of moments like this one in the episode. Each near-death feels rather weightless because we know no one is going to die.
We learn the real root of Savage's connection with Kendra later in the episode, after Hawkman dashes her away. Here's the rundown: Hawkman had used the name Carter Hall in his most recent life, but he's really known as Khufu. Kendra's real name is Shayera, and she's a reincarnated Egyptian warrior priestess. They're soulmates, continuously drawn to each other over the course of 4,000 years. When Savage kills them, he gains power from each lifetime. Kendra flashbacks to her former life around Carter. I've got a couple of issues with this. First, Kendra and Carter have zero chemistry. And worse yet, are we really supposed to believe this white dude is Egyptian?
We also get more information on Savage from Malcolm Merlyn, the current head of the League of Shadows. Appropriately enough, Merlyn steps out of the shadows of the Arrow headquarters whenever he sees fit. (Barry, reading my mind: "Is that the only way this guy knows how to enter a room?") Malcolm reveals just how old Savage is, saying that he's stood by the sides of men like Genghis Khan and Julius Caesar. This is a bit different from the comics, which portray Savage as actually being those historical figures.
The episode turns into a mini–Indiana Jones adventure when the team realizes, thanks to Malcolm, that Savage is going after the Staff of Horus, a super-powerful magic staff with undefined abilities that manifest in blue energy balls. (It looks cooler than it sounds.) If he gets the staff, they're all basically screwed. Guess what? Savage gets the staff, then nearly kills both Barry and Oliver. It isn't as exciting as it should be.
The most important thing about Savage, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl coming to DC's television universe is that they signal the role of magic in a grand fashion, far beyond Constantine and the Lazarus Pits on Arrow. I have mixed feelings from what we've seen, though. Call me when Zatanna pops up, or they finally integrate Vixen.
My problem with "Legends of Today" is that it's just a lot of setup. I wanted to love it, but nothing felt all that significant. Part of this is because I'm just not feeling Savage. I knew he'd be an archly constructed villain, but he didn't seem menacing. The character doesn't work if he isn't menacing. He's spitting out lines like this in normal conversation:
Oliver: Don't move.
Savage: Then how will I kill you all?
And when he's about to test the Staff's full powers against Barry and Oliver, he snarkily says, "I used to enjoy slow deaths. Now I just find them boring." An actor needs panache and charisma to make those lines menacing rather than cringe-worthy. And I'm not sure Casper Crump made it work.
This reminds me of the issues I had with Arrow's portrayal of Ra's Al Ghul. The age and experience of the character just doesn't come across. I know these shows can pull off great villains, but for whatever reason, the villains that end up working best are the ones that I've expected the least from. Of course, Crump has an entire season of Legends of Tomorrow to improve, so I'll cut him some slack here.
Far more egregious, though, are the episode's fight scenes. If there was one thing I was excited to see in this crossover, it was the fight scenes. There's definitely plenty of them, from Barry and Oliver squaring off against Hawkman to Savage fighting against Team Arrow and Barry. There are even brief moments of awe, like when Barry throws lightning at Hawkman or simply when we watch Barry and Oliver's wildly different techniques against one another. But it's not enough.
I think the major issue in "Legends of Today" reflects what's been a problem throughout the season: tonal discordance, lack of focus, and not enough urgency. We know the heroes will survive Vandal Savage since he's the main antagonist on Legends of Tomorrow. It isn't surprising that Barry's "believe in yourself" speech finally gets Kendra to face her fears and gain her wings. It isn't surprising that Kendra and Cisco's relationship won't last, either. They had an expiration date the moment they got together.
Meanwhile, Caitlin and Harry — who I'm no longer calling Wells because it's too confusing to juggle the Earth-1 and Earth-2 versions — are working on a speed serum that would temporarily boost Barry's powers to take down Zoom. As if on cue, Jay appears at STAR Labs the moment they figure it out, but he refuses to be Harry's lab rat. He doesn't have a choice, though, after Patty notices Harry skulking around and understandably confuses him for his Earth-1 counterpart. Since STAR Labs has less security than my apartment, she's able to waltz inside, gun drawn, and shoot Harry before he has a chance to explain himself. In her defense, she thought he was holding a gun. He wasn't. (The fact that she didn't wait a second reflects badly on her ability as a detective, of course, but the writers love the character too much to actually criticize her.)
Caitlin does the only thing she can think of, barring a trip to hospital. She contacts Jay. He's dosed with the serum, then phases through Harry's chest to pull out the bullet, which saves his life. Joe doesn't tell Patty what's going on, but that tactic can't last long. Is this how she's going to discover that Barry is the Flash?
The episode ends at what apparently must be the only coffee shop in Central City, as Oliver waits in line with Barry, marveling at all of the Flash merchandise. The jovial tone disappears, though, when Oliver recognizes his ex, who is there with a boy that appears to be his child. (This story line will carry over to Arrow.) Comic-book fans will notice that the kid isn't Connor Hawke, whose mother is half-black and half-Korean. Make of that change what you will. I'm adding it to the long list of reasons why I don't care for Arrow.
I've been harsh on The Flash this season because I expect better. Sure, there are worthwhile moments in this episode. The cast has a lot of chemistry. Watching Barry and Oliver catch up is cute. Savage is a mixed bag, but he does bring an interesting flavor into this universe. Cisco continues to be one of my favorites because of his dope one-liners. (This is how he introduces Kendra to Team Arrow: "She's my new beautiful friend who kisses me occasionally.") However, that isn't enough to make "Heroes of Today" work as a whole.
At its best, The Flash marries Silver Age zaniness with a heartfelt exploration of what it means to be a superhero. This season has been too tonally confused and too unfocused to reach the heights of season one, let alone surpass them. With all of the Legends of Tomorrow buildup out of the way, The Flash can hopefully get back to its old ways.

Q: Fix for Octave urlread causing Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates Question
How to the fix (not workaround) for Octave (suppose libcurl bundled with octave) urlread causing Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates?
Having read pkg install from forge in windows, it looks the Octave maintainer is aware of the issue with Octave 4.0 but it seems no fix is available.
Issue
It looks the urlread of Octave on Windows does not work for HTTPS because the server certificate of such as https://octave.sourceforge.io cannot be authenticated with the trusted certificates which urlread (which seems to call curl) refers to.
For example, share\octave\4.2.0\m\pkg\private\get_forge_pkg.m line 64 is causing the issue when trying to run pkg install -forge to install packages.
## Try get the list of all packages.
[html, succ] = urlread ("http://packages.octave.org/list_packages.php");
if (! succ)
  error ("get_forge_pkg: could not read URL, please verify internet connection");
endif

Running urlread from the command window shows the error below.
>> [html, status, msg] = urlread ("http://packages.octave.org/list_packages.php");
>> msg
msg = Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates

Tried google.com over HTTPS and the same.
>> [html, status, msg] = urlread ("https://google.com");
>> msg
msg = Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates

IE and Google Chrome root certificates can verify the sourceforge certificate.

Tried system as below.
#[html, succ] = urlread ("http://packages.octave.org/list_packages.php");
sURLLink="https://octave.sourceforge.io/list_packages.php"
command=['curl --insecure ','"',sURLLink,'"'];
[succ, html] = system(command)
#if (! succ)
if (succ != 0)
  error ("get_forge_pkg: could not read URL, please verify internet connection");
endif

However it caused another error.
>> pkg install -forge symbolic
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

A: *

*You get the "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated" error because your CA store doesn't contain the necessary CA cert. You can get an updated bundle from here.

*The reason your attempt to use the curl command line tool doesn't work is that you didn't use -L, --location option to tell curl to follow redirects, so you just got the 303 response that  http://packages.octave.org/list_packages.php returns. If you'd use -L, you'll see that it'll redirect you twice over to a HTTPS:// URL - only to have you be forced to fix case (1) anyway.

Courtois portrays Ter Stegen
March 19, 2022 by Jason Nelson
If soccer are dynamic, this is the best example. The one with the goalsthe walls that this Sunday will try to become giants in the Classic of the Bernabéu (9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga). to one side will be Courtois, a goalkeeper with a positive trend, very firm, solid, transmitting security and clinging to the data to convince that, today, he is the best goalkeeper in the world. Or at least the one that is in the best moment. And on the other, Ter Stegenwho a few years ago was one of the pillars of Barça and today, more than ever, prostrates himself in the eye of the debate. His numbers this season are the worst since he landed in Barcelona. And the 'indisputable' label begins to peel off.
The Belgian is the current Zamora First, with a coefficient of 0.75 goals per game (We remind you that in order to qualify for the trophy you must have played at least 60 full minutes in 28 days). The Belgian has recently reached that figure, 28 games, with only 21 claws conceded. The least of the entire category along with Rulli, but who has played three fewer games. Thibaut's statistics came to the fore with the recent controversy of FourFourTwowhich did not include him in the Top-10 goalkeepers in the world. "If you say that, you have to break the journalist's card"said Ancelotti at a press conference. Cutting.
And the numbers back him up. As AS demonstrated in a report a few days ago, the 78.7% stops that Courtois averages in all competitions is only surpassed by the 80.8% of Sá, the Wolves goalkeeper. With 44is the one that stops the most shots from outside the box has completed, ahead of De Gea's 42nd and Ramsdale's 33rd. If we take into account the shots inside the boxis the third, with 63 (Sa, 79; De Gea, 72). On total stops it also comes out reinforced: it has done 110only behind De Gea, with 123.
In other analysis published by AS a little over a week ago, it was reflected that those of this year are being his worst numbers since he arrived at Barcelona. It has a percentage of stops that barely exceeds the 63%at a starry distance from the 76.51% he reaped in the 2017-18 season. This is an alarming trend. Except in 2015-16 (69.32%), he always exceeded 70% success in saves. But that curve has gone down. From 68.94% of 2019-20, it went to 67.74% of 2020-21, until the already worrying figure of this one.
It is currently the 13th in the race for Zamorawith a coefficient of 1.08 goals per game (26 conceded in 24 games). "I'm happy with my performance, there are many things I'm doing well. But in recent weeks there are people who have written things to add fuel to the fire. You are like that and I understand it," he said the day before playing in Naples. A few years ago he was an undisputed pillar and now he is up for debate. Laporta, in fact, has already slipped that Barça will sign a second goalkeeper to squeeze him.
routine and opportunity
For Courtois It will be another day in the office in which to keep the level up to date. That outstanding that has him on the edge of his fourth Zamora trophy (He won two with Atlético, in 2012-13 and 2013-14; and one with Madrid, in 2019-20). For Ter Stegen, however, it is an ideal situation to hit the table and vindicate himself. Say 'here I am' based on stops. The Classic of LaLiga, this Sunday, will also be the goalkeeper.
We want to give thanks to the author of this write-up for this incredible web content

Do yu know the only magnolia tree in New York City, only one north of Philadelphia, is right here? And one, there before I was born, in my GA front yard, too. Me siento tan agradecido de que el sur está en todas partes.
Hattie Carthan was born in 1901 'with the century' and died 1984, old as pie. Hattie was always a doer, probably born stretching. At 16 she taught school in Zuni, VA population 121, and at 59 was one of the first Black employees of a market research company in Brooklyn. In the 60's in Bed Stuy she threw huge back to school parties for kids in the summer, bought trees with money from pig and chicken roasts. She started a youth corps in 1971 to teach young men how to care for trees. As chairwoman of some 100 associated block associations, she eventually she got 1500 new trees planted in the neighborhood.
She saved this Magnolia from getting torn down and hung out with it for years. She turned the three brownstones behind into into an Earth Center that's still there. When gun violence escalated in Bed Stuy as she got old, she didn't move, saying the neighborhood had "already lost too many trees, houses, and people. Your community, you owe something to it. I didn't care to run." Now the community garden at Clifton Place between Marcy and Lafayette avenues in Brooklyn is named after her. You can grow or get farm produce there. Parties on holidays, barbecues in the summer.
This tree is an old dude, was a freedom baby. It has survived on Lafayette Ave since William Lemken brought it as a seedling on a ship from North Carolina in 1885, 22 yrs post emancipation proclamation. Its 40ft tall or about 4 and some change Dikembe Mutombo's.
In Athens there is a great white oak tree that owns itself. It is like a dot on the map of town is free from people, from time, and it's got all the voodoo of the land and its past on it. Its right there in the exact center of town, of the whole places being, but you wouldn't know it if you didn't know it, there's no reason to drive on that road at all, now. It's a footwork level, intimate-confidential place.
Legend is that William Henry Jackson, son of a Georgia Governor and Congressman, cherished childhood memories of the tree and thought he could protect it best by deeding it ownership of itself and the surrounding land. They say the transaction took place some time between 1820 and 1832. Only one person has ever claimed to have seen Jackson's deed to the tree. Most people acknowledge that it is lost, gone, or never in fact existed. If it did, it wouldn't have any real legal standing. Under common law, the person receiving the property in question must have the legal capacity to receive it and property must be delivered to, and accepted by, a knowing recipient. But the tree is growing, people know its alive, and it stands unchallenged.


Do you enjoy reading fantasy? What about historical fiction? If you're a fan of both, you might enjoy one of these historical fantasies, books that have fantastic elements but which are based on historical events. Some books are set in a place almost the same as our world, and some are quite different, but all of them are pretty great!
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke: English magic has died out, or so everyone thinks. Those who call themselves magicians are scholars of magic, rather than practitioners. It is a shock for everyone when a gentleman named Gilbert Norrell demonstrates undoubtable magical ability. Eventually he takes a pupil named Jonathan Strange, whose approach is as different from Mr. Norrell's as night from day. This book tells their story, in effortless and beautiful prose.
His Majesty's Dragon, and sequels, by Naomi Novik: Best described as Master and Commander with dragons, His Majesty's Dragon follows the British Navy's Captain Laurence as he unwillingly becomes a dragon captain. Full of adventure and intrigue, this is a great series!
The Curse of Chalion, and sequels, by Lois McMaster Bujold: Three in a planned five-book series, the Chalion books take place in a world roughly analogous to early Renaissance Spain. There are plenty of courtly intrigues and a few good battles, and even a little bit of romance.
Looking completely, lot. – http://www.meda-comp.net/fyz/next-day-cialis-delivery.html pretty without While conditioner.
of the English fen country in the early 1900s. That sounds kind of boring, but it's a great way to look at a changing world, with an added sense of gloomy atmosphere and tension.
Foundling, and sequels, by D.M. Cornish: Probably geared toward younger teens, Cornish tells the story of Rossamünd, a Foundling in the Half-Continent, a world something like Baroque Europe. Cornish spent years inventing this world, and his work shows. He's also a skilled artist whose drawings add depth and realism to the story.
The Thief, and sequels, by Megan Whalen Turner: This is one of my all-time favorite series, so I take every chance I can to mention it. But really, it's also a great example of historical fantasy, with a meticulously-detailed world based on Byzantine Greece. With plenty of twists and surprises, plus awesome characters, this is definitely one to check out!
The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell: A neat book by an Indianapolis author! Set in the high society of Baltimore in 1889, The Vespertine tells the story of a girl who is not what she seems to be. Mitchell nails the voice from the beginning of the book and I totally bought the romance. A nice blend of authentic detail and contemporary drama.
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, and sequels, by Joan Aiken: This book is the first in the series of the same name. In an England that never was, wolves are crossing the ice to threaten London. Meanwhile Sylvia must escape from an orphanage with the help of Simon the gooseboy. Madcap fun.
The Cabinet of Wonders, and sequels, by Marie Rutkoski: Set in 17th century Prague, The Cabinet of Wonders and its sequels tell the story of Petra Kronos, daughter of a master metal-worker whose ability to work metal with his mind lands him on the wrong side of the mad Prince of Bohemia. Petra is a fantastic, spunky character, and Rutkoski writes a chilling, thrilling story.
Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis: Set in Regency England, this is the story of Kat Stephenson, the youngest of three sisters. While Elissa and Angeline try to be proper young ladies, Kat doesn't care for polite society, or its decrees that magic is improper. Kat is a great character and her trials and tribulations are at times hilariously funny.


Three-belt light-heavyweight champion Andre Ward of Oakland announced Tuesday that he's agreed to a June 17 rematch with Russia's former champion Sergey Kovalev at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Ward (31-0, 15 knockouts) survived a second-round knockdown to pile up rounds in the second half of his Nov. 19 first meeting with then-unbeaten Kovalev and emerged with a unanimous-decision victory by three judges' scores of 114-113.
In his first interview since posting his announcement on social media, Ward told the Los Angeles Times that he expects the rematch to be a "continuation" of his late-round success in the first bout.
"This is necessary," Ward said in a telephone interview. "This is more for the fans who've been clamoring for the fight and to set the record straight once and for all. It's less about me. I'm secure with the first fight. It was no robbery. It was a close fight that I won.
"Of course, in that situation, you're going to have different people saying all sorts of things. That comes with the territory. In a nutshell, this is for the people who believe in me and have been believing in me, to continue to prove them right. That's my true motivation."
The bout will be broadcast on pay-per-view again by HBO.
Armed with a rematch clause inserted in the first contract by his promoter Kathy Duva, Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs) told The Times last month in New York the deal was a foregone conclusion awaiting Ward's announcement.
Ward said he's receiving an increase in purse money, which he declined to immediately reveal, and his promoter, Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports, will be the lead promoter this time around.
That position of authority is something Ward, the most recent U.S, Olympic boxing gold medalist (2004), said he intends to maintain against an opponent he now has valuable familiarity with.
"I know there are some adjustments I can make. We'll see what he does. This is more about the mentality, the mind and the heart of each fighter," Ward said.
"I've learned more about Kovalev in these last four months than I did by being in the ring with him for 12 rounds. There's a lot about him in the things he's said, the way he's responded to adversity and what he felt was adversity. Very telling. That's something I've taken note of and I'm going to tap into that weakness starting in Round One."
Ward, who notoriously finds motivation in the criticism occasionally pointed at him, said he came to believe before the first fight that those against him would spare him no margin if he lost.
He said Kovalev, meanwhile, had the comfort of the rematch clause and the ability to lean on an excuse like preferential judging for the American in Las Vegas.
"He's a lot of an excuse maker … while I kept saying [during the fight] that I have to find a way to win," Ward said. "I knew if he fell short, he'd be given the benefit of the doubt, would make excuses and would have that soft cushion to fall back on. That's exactly what happened. That's what caused him to not be able to bite down and find a way when that fight got hard … me not getting that benefit of the doubt helped me find a way to win it, and that's how [trainer] Virgil [Hunter] coached me.
"Kovalev has always made excuses when things couldn't go his way, like not stopping the guy [Isaac Chilemba in July] in Russia. He said he had a cold, had to sell the tickets and was fighting back home. Well, welcome to the party and welcome to the big leagues. When you fight a big fight, you've got to find a way to compartmentalize that stuff and still get the job done. I'm looking at the things you're doing and saying when that pressure's on, and that's what's revealing to me."
Ward said any delay in getting the deal done mostly had to do with finer points negotiated between Roc Nation and Duva. He said the Voluntary Anti-Doping Authority will again preside over drug testing.
The rematch, Ward predicted, will serve as an exclamation point to the respect he gained by rising from the Kovalev knockdown punch and finding a way to win.
"Those questions were never asked. And now it is going to be a continuation of the first fight and it's going to be me or him, because I'm not going to be hard to find."

JBA hosts National Mentorship Month panel
By Senior Airman Tyrone Thomas 316th Wing Public Affairs
January is National Mentoring Month and Andrews brought together base leadership for a panel offering a unique perspective on career goals, motivation, and challenges one faces while advancing their personal development journey, Jan. 23, 2023.
Ensuring that your goals and the goals of those you lead are in perfect alignment, is an ideal way to form a mutually beneficial relationship between mentor and mentee. Oftentimes, the relationship is between a senior and junior member of an organization but even those in senior positions have much to learn by helping someone fulfill their potential.
"Mentorship is not a one-way street. Mentorship takes work. Go find someone you admire regardless of rank and ask them if they can mentor you. Don't be afraid to get out there." Capt. Rachel Kinkead, 316th Force Support Squadron operations officer, said. "John Wooden's 'The Pyramid of Success' is highly recommended reading, a quote I take from it is, 'you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.'"
The pathway through mentorship is ongoing and this year's theme for Mentoring Month is "Love your mentoring journey", acknowledging that we all have something we can teach and learn from each other.

One of the busiest travel days, not so
PHILADELPHIA - November 30, 2008 "It actually wasn't bad. The line getting through security was really short," Penninah Brodie of Center City said.
"Overall, it was pretty smooth...I've always traveled on Thanksgiving and there was practically no one in the airports this year," traveler Marc Siegel said.
"I was really pleased today with how easy it was to travel. We had about a 45 minute delay, really easy traveling today," traveler Blair Streling said.
The souring economy and increased airfares have kept many people at home.
AAA expects a 7 percent decline in air travel compared to last year.
Eydie Boone and her husband traveled from Houston and they turned the trip into an extended vacation.
"We tied in a week vacation to New York City," Eydie said.
Many experts expect similar crowds for the Christmas holidays.
That is not good for baggage handlers who work on tips.
"I've been sitting around all day doing nothing; I almost fell asleep twice, but don't tell anyone," Dayton Lawrence, a baggage handler, said.
