FAITH- such a small word, yet it seems to be one of the hardest concepts for humans to grasp.
1. We can not see the wind, yet we believe ( have faith ) that it is there.
Why is this true? Possibly because even though we can not see the wind, we can feel it when it blows.
If I am standing outside and a breeze comes through, I can feel the wind on my face and know that the wind is blowing.
If I am standing outside and the wind begins to blow, the trees begin to sway, and the sky grows dark, I can not see the storm coming, but I trust the evidence that I feel, and I seek shelter.
I believe that the same is true with our faith in God. We can not see God, but when He moves we can feel it. Sometimes God comes to us in a still small voice, and sometimes He comes to us in a mighty, powerful way! Either way, if we will step out in faith and listen for His call, He will guide us in the direction we need to go.
For fear of his life, Elijah runs and hides. He goes so far as to ask God to just go ahead and let him die right there.
God, of course, being the great God he is, does not let him die. Instead God provides food for him.
Elijah then travels until he comes to a cave where he decides to hide. You see, Elijah is discouraged and ready to give up, but God is not done with him yet.
God comes to Elijah while he is in the cave and asks him why he is hiding there. I can almost hear Elijah as he tells God all of his troubles and complains about how bad things are.
"And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.
Elijah had the faith to do what God had said, and God came to Elijah, in a still small voice. It was then that Elijah realized that God was not finished with him. You see, God had great things planned for Elijah, but he could not do those things as long as he was hiding in a cave. Elijah had to step out in faith and listen for the voice of God. When Elijah stepped out in faith, God revealed Himself to him and then was able to use Elijah to do even more great and mighty things.
I do not know what kind of trials you are facing today. I do not know if you have a "Jezebel" chasing after you, but I can promise you this: God has not left you. He has not forgotten about you. God has great plans for your life. You have to be willing to step out in faith first though, just as Elijah did.
I want to encourage you today. If you are facing hard choices, if you are wondering where God is leading, or if you are tired and ready to give up, step out on the mountain in faith! Seek God and His will for your life, and then be ready to move when He tells you to move.
I pray you find encouragement in these words today! I pray that you will remember the story of Elijah, and how God used him in great and mighty ways. Step out in faith, and you will be amazed at the things God will accomplish through you.


Abstract: A strong parent-professional alliance that increases over the course of care predicts positive outcomes of home-based parenting support. However, little is known about factors that influence the development or maintenance of the alliance in home-based parenting support, limiting professionals' ability to optimize the parent-professional alliance and thereby the quality of care. Therefore, the present study examined whether voluntary versus mandated service involvement, previous involvement in similar services, parenting stress, child psychosocial problems, and care expectations were associated with early parent-professional alliance and predicted change in alliance during home-based parenting support services. Questionnaire data from 60 parents (M age = 40.65 years, SD = 6.81, range 23–55 years) and their professionals collected early and late in care were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that previous involvement in similar services was related to lower levels of early parent-reported alliance, whereas positive care expectations were related to stronger early parent- and professional-reported alliances. Moreover, care expectations predicted change in professional-reported alliance during care, with positive parent expectations predicting a decrease and positive professional expectations predicting an increase in alliance. Voluntary versus mandated service involvement, parenting stress and child psychosocial problems were not found to influence the alliance. These findings emphasize the need for professionals to discuss previous service involvement and care expectations as well as a need for future studies to identify other factors that influence alliance and alliance-building skills.


Chinn was born with craniosynostosis -- a defect in which the joints between the skull bones close prematurely -- which led to a procedure at the age of 6 months, from which she was not expected to fully recover, the news outlet reported. Chinn's parents were told she would never talk, but she beat the odds, calling her recovery a miracle.
"It's hard to grasp," Chinn told WGRZ. "I have confidence, but I never thought me sitting by the pool, a random video would be so viral."
"I may have taken a different path and missed little things here and there," Henson told The Huffington Post. "But coming home and being a little person's superhero means a lot of more in the end."

Councillors agree to back campaign improving employment rights for terminally ill workers
The motion was backed by county councillors
James Averill
Published: 13:46 Sunday 22 September 2019
Councillors have agreed to support a campaign to improve the employment rights of terminally ill workers and will help lobby MPs to change legislation.
Northamptonshire County councillors unanimously backed a proposal on Thursday (September 19) to support the TUC's 'Dying to Work' campaign currently being developed in the Midlands.
The campaign seeks to get terminally ill workers covered by protective rights at work in line with those covered by pregnancy and maternity rights, to protect death in service benefits, and to allow workers with terminal illnesses to die in dignity.
The motion was proposed by the Labour party as part of its opposition business but was supported by Conservatives, Lib Dems and independents alike.
Labour leader Councillor Bob Scott said: "The Equality Act provides protections against discriminatory treatment based on the concept of 'protected characteristics'. Currently workers with a terminal illness are not classified as having a protected characteristic and therefore have very limited legal protection against employers dismissing them due to illness.
"Employers are therefore free to dismiss terminally ill workers once they have made 'reasonable adjustments' to the employee's job to assist with the illness. The last thing a terminally ill worker would need is the distress at the same time as facing up to a terminal illness is to have to fight for the right to continue working and not face the indignity of being sacked."
Conservative cabinet member Councillor Sandra Naden-Horley told councillors that her party would back the motion. She said: "The principles in this charter are already supported by NCC. We will always try to do what's best for people in their individual circumstances."
Fellow Conservative, Dr Andy Mercer, added: "I thought surely this is something that was already in legislation, that if someone was dismissed when they are terminally ill surely they have grounds for wrongful dismissal. Apparently not.
"It's a matter of common decency that you treat people well. If you dismiss someone because they are terminally ill then you should be ashamed of yourself, and you should be named and shamed."
The Dying to Work charter states: "This is about choice. It's about giving an individual options around how they want to proceed at work. In some cases, an individual will want to continue to work for as long as they can, for financial security or because work can be a helpful distraction from their illness.
"In other cases a person may decide that they do not want to work anymore and would rather spend their remaining time with family and friends, getting their affairs in order, or simply doing what they want. Whatever choice a person makes they should expect help and support from their employer."

Time Capsule – The logical evolution of the Airport Extreme, as the added hard drive now makes it a wireless backup server.
Apple TV – Still not sure about the new improvements to the second version of Apple TV. My wife and I are seriously looking at getting a MacMini with a 22" or 24" flat LCD computer monitor and Mac TV tuner as our next home entertainment system. Not only is a flat LCD computer monitor cheaper than a LCD TV of the same size but both the MacMini and computer monitor will power off automatically and we'll be able to record TV shows similar to a TiVo. Therefore, until the Apple TV includes a TV tuner to record shows (not too mention lets me store any movies, pictures, or photos on its hard drive of my choosing), it benefits are still somewhat limited (especially in Canada where we won't see movie rentals for some time probably). I mean if all of our favorite TV shows were offered via iTunes at a reduced monthly subscription rate that made it pointless to have cable TV to our home, ya I'd probably buy an Apple TV tomorrow. The ability to record TV shows is still the missing link for me though, especially when it has a built-in hard drive.
MacBook Air – Very impressive and a decent price as well. Functionality of it looks great but wonder how durable it is. I also realize why the need for no DVD drive but this might still be an issue. For example, they said you won't need a drive with the new Remote Drive feature. The question I have is will you able to watch DVD movies using the Remote Drive? If not, and it's only for installations and file transfers, then this can be somewhat limiting. Of course you can just buy the optional external Super Drive for $99.
The announcement of 20th Century Fox in that their new DVD's will have included digital versions of the movie on them so you can transfer them to a Mac or iPod for storing and watching is great but I highly doubt these will be DRM free. Oh and why only the ability to rent a movie via iTunes? Why not the ability to purchase it flat out? Again obviously they're worried of DRM issues. Why though when it's been proven that DRM free music works fine. As long as it's easy to purchase and access, that's all that people want, and they'll be willing to pay for it.
Oh well, Steve did say that there were 50 weeks left in the year for additional announcements. I'll cross my fingers for TV tuner integration. Hell why not just include a TV tuner option with integrated Front Row support in their whole line (i.e. MacMini, iMac, etc). Be pretty sweet, since if the 24" iMac had a TV tuner built-in with TiVo-like features, I'd probably consider that instead of a MacMini and LCD monitor, since it's an all in one package and you could make use of the built-in camera for family video conferencing from your living room as well.
Update: Got the chance to view the recorded keynote address. I'd have to say that in watching the demo of the Apple TV, its interface definitely looks nicer than I expected. The key benefit I noticed is the easy access to open and accessible content on the Web that you can subscribe to via RSS (i.e. photos, videos, podcasts, even HD podcasts). So sitting in your living room you can check out other family members photo albums to see what's new with them to the point that you could spend more time watching content on the Web than watching content on TV. What's even more interesting about this approach, and what has been predicted already, is that a person's website (i.e. layout, design, etc) becomes irrevelant, as their content takes center stage (due to its portability via RSS). Oh and with regards to movies, it sounds like Steve promised international movie rentals later this year (hopefully this mean Canada as well).

According to a cheesy stationery supply commercial: "It's most wonderful time of the year." It's back-to-school time! This year is a bit different for me since I'm finished all my courses for my program. I'm just finishing my thesis and getting ready for my clinical placement at the end of this month. However, some things don't change, and this year, it's the anticipatory buzz for choir to begin again.
I will be singing with Belle Canto and Pro Coro again this season. The other day I wrote down all the rehearsal dates and performance for both choirs. Although I was feeling short of breath looking at how busy my schedule was, I just took a deep breath, and remembered that it's going to be awesome. I thrive off of feeling productive so the more I pack in and am able to accomplish, the more I take on the following year. Since I was able to balance both Belle Canto and Pro Coro with a full course load last year, I rationalized that I could do the same and more this year. I have yet to reach my breaking point, but hopefully, it is not coming anytime soon. Until then, I will continue to walk a fine line with this chaotic balance that I have constructed for myself.
Of course, I'm sure there will be other musical things thrown into the mix that I just haven't arranged yet. Maybe I'll be able to fit in an audition in there or arrange a solo voice lesson to learn some new skills. I will leave those possibilities open, but just know that whatever I musically experience, I will post on this blog.
Just last year I didn't know if I would sing one or any of the concerts with Pro Coro, however, a season later and now I'm a core member. It's crazy what can change in a year! Over the past year, I've also been contacted for some freelance singing work and being a section leader. Pro Coro has really opened the door for singing opportunities for me.
At any rate dear readers, what are you all most looking forward to this upcoming season? Please post your thoughts in the comment section below.

Arezzo Italy
Tuscan City Full of Culture & Historical Significance
Arezzo Italy is the wealthiest city in Tuscany due to its history of gold-smithery. It is a small city of just 99,000, located about 80 km southeast of Florence in Tuscany, Italy. Like so many cities in the area, Arezzo is seated high atop a hill, where panoramic views of the sunny, rural Tuscan landscape are breathtaking, with the second most important river in the area flowing freely in the valley below.
AREZZO WEATHER
The river Arno is second only to the Tiber River in importance in Italy. It is 241 km in length and it originates from Mount Falterona in the Casentino area. It flows through Florence, Pisa, Empoli, Santa Croce, and Pontedera, ending at the Ligurian Sea. It is considered a significant natural resource in the area. The Arno is just one part of the city of Arezzo but certainly, a major attraction for tourists with its shocking blue waters lit brightly by city lights at night and traversed by a medieval bridge that itself is worth at least a brief look.
A medieval city, the upper portion of Arezzo Italy maintains its historical appearance through city walls and various Romanesque and Gothic style buildings and churches. It is an oceanic climate that is unusually hot. Visit in July or August if you like it hot, or in February or March if you like warm Spring-like, temperatures and sunny days washing over your travels.
Visit the Piazza Grande to satisfy a love of Romanesque architecture. The square offers limestone geometrical lines to please the eye, the Santa Maria Della Pieve church, The Palace of the Lay, and the Episcopal Palace. Piazza Grande is a full day's exploration for the curious. The Santa Maria is a 12th-century church with a central bell tower as its most notable feature. Church lovers can step out of the square to visit The Cathedral of St. Donatus, Gothic-style church, The Tuscan-Gothic style Basilica of San Francesco, the Basilica of San Domenico, a 12-14th-century structure, and many more historical churches around the city. Moving beyond the square there are many local walking tours, Tuscan cooking classes, or even chauffeur driven personal tours.
Beyond the historical architecture that makes Arezzo Italy a city of outstanding character, history, and beauty, it offers a medieval festival, the Saracen Joust, wherein knights on horseback representing different areas of the town charge a target and earn points for accuracy. For costume and period history lovers, this festival is the place to be in June, as everyone dresses in medieval garb and roots for participants. And for more current culture lovers, Arezzo played a starring role in Roberto Benigni's film, Life is Beautiful in 1997 and it was his own home as well.
For love of medieval history that is played out annually in a local festival, and daily in the remaining Romanesque and Gothic churches; for admiration of stunning palaces, or for the stunning natural geographic beauty, Arezzo is yet another reason to visit the region of Tuscany.
Arezzo Map & Train Tips
Arezzo Italy has its own railways station which offers high-speed regional and Intercity trains. From here you can easily reach destinations such as Florence, Rome, Bologna, Verona and Milan using various connecting train routes. Below is an Arezzo map to help you with trip planning.

I voted for President Biden.
However, watching the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I was surprised by the superficial media-coverage, painting Biden as a savior.
In technology companies, people who are on CEO search committees cross their fingers and hope their selected candidate will work out. The process is imperfect, and there are no guarantees. The same applies to a newly elected president.
Believing that the country's political leader will be a messiah of peace, who will heal the country, was not in his job description, and is a fallacy. Not that we do not value these characteristics, but they will speak through his actions and not through the inaugural address.
Reputable news media like WSJ and NYTimes, and major TV channels do not seem to have a good enough yardstick for measuring leadership.
The impact of media on our thinking continues to be overly influential and powerful, generating extremism. Over the last four years, CNN for example, amplified anti-Trump rhetorics while Fox News was squarely in the pro-Trump camp, etching deeper divide between Democratic and Republican factions.
Instead of relying on what we hear and read; we could apply our own experiences and instincts, to evaluate. Democracy functions the best when people are independent thinkers.
We have pressing issues to deal with.
The job of this president is to deal with the pandemic and its devastating impact on our economy. Other urgent areas to address are healthcare and education. Joe Biden has the political capital to take bold actions on all of these fronts.
Biden-Harris partnership can do wonders, like how Hewlett-Packard, Gates-Balmer, and Jobs-Wozniak built their companies. Close partnerships can be difficult but they help make higher quality decisions and are worth investing time in. Since Biden has had the courage to select a strong woman, Kamala Harris as his vice president, he should delegate other important responsibilities to her. Through his cabinet appointees, Ms. Harris can lead the charge for the task force on immigration reforms, climate change, and foreign relations, IMHO.
Washington should also focus on efficiencies and getting more done. Our vice president should not just be a standby-president, for example. The VP should be expected to pitch in, work hard, and guide and even lead the president when necessary. I hope Vice President Harris is capable of it.
Plus, creating white space in his own calendar can help him sharpen his focus. "It simply creates the "space" for a new idea to present itself" — a powerful tool seldom used.
Another area of leverage could be, how he collaborates with the private sector. The trust and engagement of corporate leaders with the administration can give our country further boost in the arm. He can police their monopolistic practices while getting them involved in creating new platforms and data analytic tools for healthcare delivery in the future and high-quality education. By doing this, President Biden can help create new-age jobs that will restore and rebuild the economy.
As the saying goes, "Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas." This belief means listening to both Republicans and Democrats. We are only limited by our experiences, interests, and blind spots. Leadership is about making people work together harmoniously. I hope he will embrace this idea.
The media has mocked Mr. Bidden for stumbling on words. The media should be able to get past that and learn from Wall Street analysts. The analysts advise stock traders on what company-stocks to buy and sell. They do so by assessing the management of the company by regularly communicating with them and writing reports on their findings. When a new CEO gets hired and money is on the line, they look beyond slick appearance or eloquence. They tend to be very perceptive.
Hi-Tech corporate culture in America has continued to evolve yielding higher and higher profits. The informality of dress code, flexible working hours, and trusting employees with unlimited vacation policy, have resulted in increased productivity.
Companies' management is not afraid to reach across the hierarchal boundaries. With a progressive culture, we can get more things done and a new image of politics can evolve getting the millennials engaged in public life. They want to contribute where they are trusted, and where their ideas are not rejected for lack of experience. The generational crossover will reshape American politics.
In my experience Biden's leadership success will entail judiciously assembling a team and delegating to them, preferring action over perfection, and engaging the best minds by reaching across the party lines, public-private sector, and geographic boundaries.
When will the culture change in Washington happen?
Here is your opportunity Mr. Biden — and Ms. Harris.

dear vinita ji, excellent capture of the moments in DC… while pandemic, economic recovery, healthcare and education need urgent attention, those are perpetual, china and manufacturing also need immediate attention. already late by two decades, they need their own departments in biden's cabinet and are very much part of any economic recovery. if taiwan is gone to china, their control on TSMC can hamper economic recovery. recent shortage of chips for automotive industry, made some auto makers halt productions of cars. chips are used everywhere. a TSMC fab in US, europe or india is a must.

Of course, this is not the novelty of some recent events but rather a chronic ongoing process since many years and decades. While this trend has only surged in Europe in the past 5-10 years, the United States has had a predominant affinity towards the automatic gear lever since the last century. Growing up in Germany back in the 90s and 2000s, manual-transmission cars were making up maybe 70-90% of all automobiles on the road. An automatic transmission was a sign of wealth and comfort as these were only available in luxury vehicles and for a significant price upgrade. The saying always went that automatics are slower, less fuel-efficient and more prone for technical failure and damage.

Brad Pitt, Neri Oxman Dating Stories Proven Wrong
By Gossip Cop Staff	| 11:53 am, June 15, 2018
For the last two months, the tabloids have wrongly been insisting Brad Pitt and Neri Oxman are dating. But there is new evidence to back up what Gossip Cop has said all along: They are not in a romantic relationship and never were. Allow us to explain what's been going on.
In April, Page Six was the first to report that Pitt and the MIT professor had become friends. As the actor's spokesperson confirmed to Gossip Cop, that original story was mostly accurate. Just as the paper had said, they developed a professional friendship due to their shared love for design and architecture, but there was no romance between them. Other outlets, like E! Online, also reported that Pitt and Oxman were "strictly friends." "Entertainment Tonight" also noted that due to his ongoing split with Angelina Jolie, Pitt was not "ready to get serious with anyone." People further reported that though Pitt was casually dating, he did not have a "special someone" in his life.
All of this was consistent with what Gossip Cop was hearing from our trusted sources. But the gossip media took that initial story about Pitt and Oxman's friendship and quickly turned it into a full-blown relationship. Us Weekly even published a bogus cover story about how Pitt was "smitten" with Oxman and taking "secret love trips" with her. To date, they've only been seen together a single time: Pitt visited MIT last November to meet with Oxman's students.
But ignoring reality, magazines and websites have spent the last two months peddling phony tales about Pitt taking Oxman to a family wedding, moving to Massachusetts to be closer to her and introducing her to his children, just to name a few. There's been so many wrong rumors about Pitt and Oxman that in May we even did a roundup, and there's more than enough to do another one. Over the last 10 weeks or so, the truth has not changed: The movie star and the scholar weren't dating and they still aren't dating.
The difference now is that there is more transparent evidence than ever before to prove that: Oxman and her billionaire boyfriend, Bill Ackman, were photographed in France last weekend, showing that they're still together. People also re-confirmed this week, in a piece about how Pitt is doing "great," that he "isn't in a relationship with her." In New York's finance circles, it was widely known what most gossip writers did not know: That she was dating Ackman the whole time.
In fact, many publications are now wrongly making it seem like Oxman has suddenly ditched Pitt for the financier. The Cut is announcing, "Brad Pitt's MIT-Professor Crush Is Dating a Billionaire Now." Even the Boston Globe has a headline that states, "MIT professor Neri Oxman may have moved on from Brad Pitt." Oxman isn't "dating a billionaire now." She always was. She hasn't "moved on" from Pitt because there was no romance between them to begin with.
Conclusion: In April, it was rightly reported that Pitt and Oxman were friends. But tabloids quickly started claiming they were in a romance, even though Gossip Cop and reputable outlets confirmed that wasn't the case. Even Pitt's own spokesperson, who speaks on his behalf, said there wasn't a relationship. Now there's photo evidence Oxman is still with her longtime boyfriend. Rather than acknowledging all those claims about Pitt were clearly bogus, places are still twisting the situation. So, if Gossip Cop needs to keep separating fact from fiction on this topic, we will. But it is more than apparent that all the magazines and blogs that claimed Pitt and Oxman were dating were wrong.

"So Where Do You Go At Night" is Patrick's first book on offshore cruising. Sky One Hundred, their home for the trip to the South Seas and Alaska was built from scratch in their garden as a one-off in 3 years. It was a locally designed Fraser 42 to which they made several modifications. The hull is fibreglass with an Airex foam core and the deck is fibreglass with a balsa core.
After Patrick retired he and his wife undertook a major cruise, sailing from the west end of Lake Superior through the Great Lakes to Buffalo, through the Erie Canal, down the Hudson River to New York, down the Intra Coastal Waterway to Miami and out to the Bahamas.

well theb giro is going well, Cav has 2 stages, Kirchen 1 and we won the TT. On stage 9.
Problem is Cav keeps crashing with 1km to go which is anoying.
Why am i winning so much? Who knows, who cares? (the sponsors don't!)

Team Columbia - Season 3 update
The Tour de France has finished......the sponsors wanted me to win it.
I sent Pardilla as my leader, with Devine, Crawford, Siutsou and Blanco riding in support. Cavendish, EBH, Wiggins and Tony Martin were my sprint stage team! Pardilla won the opening ITT, ahead of Wiggo, and Columbia decimated the opposition in the TTT on Stage 4. Pardilla, in fact, kept the Yellow jersey for the first 13 stages of the race! Then came the mountains, and Alberto Contador. At the start of stage 14, Contador was in 4th place, 2 minutes down on Pardilla. By the end of the stage, he was 3 minutes ahead on the road, and 1 minute ahead on the GC
Contador then managed to win Stages 15 and 16 AND 17, to take him 2 mins ahead of Pardilla on GC. Pardilla caught up some time on stage 18, clawing back 24" on Contador, leading us to....
Stage 20, and a 47 km ITT. Pardilla, with a TT stat of 82 vs Contador's TT stat of 77. Could he beat Contador by 1'36"?
Nooooooo, Pardilla comes 2nd, 1'19" ahead of Contador, who wins the Tour de France by 17". That's Contador's 2nd TdF win in a row, and 3rd time overall! Although we failed to achieve our goal, the sponsors were still very happy, as Pardilla finished 2nd, Cavendish won 3 stages and Siutsou took the KOM jersey.
In other news, we are definitely letting Ricco go at the end of the season, and have signed Gesink as his replacement. We've also signed Alexandr Pliuschin to ride the cobbles for us, and will be letting Possoni go at the end of the year also.
Team Columbia End of Season 3
A good end of season saw Linus Gerdemann take the overall win in the Vuelta, by 17" (oddly enough the same amount of time that Pardilla lost the TdF by!), although as with last year, the field was pretty weak, with only Hector Gonzalez (82 mtn, 81 TT) able to challenge (he had already raced 55 days prior to the Vuelta though, so by the end his fitness was down to about 80, whereas Linus had only raced 35 before starting the Vuelta, and his fitness was 95+ for the whole 3 weeks). Moreno won the KOM jersey.
Kirchen produced some excellent end of season results, winning the Tour of Germany, the Vattenfall cyclassics and the Zuri-Metzgete, although he fell short of the sponsor goal of a Top 3 in the Giro de Lombardia, coming in 6th. Overall though, this was enough (combined with his spring results) to give Kirchen the overall win in the Pro Tour, something I hadn't achieved before.
Season 4 planning
Looking ahead, the Tour de France still eludes me, so I will be pushing for that in the coming season, and having renewed my cobble racing team I will be looking to get some good results there. The attached pic shows the squad makeup..........2 people out (Ricco and Possoni) and 2 in (Gesink and Pliuschin).
GT Leaders for next season:
TdF - Pardilla
Giro - Devine
Vuelta - Gerdemann (to try for 2 in a row)
Classics Leaders
Cobbles - Pliuschin
non-cobbles - Kirchen
Sprint Train
Sprinters - Vanoverschelde, Cavendish, Ciolek, Pacheco
Lead out - Boom, EBH, Southerland, Wiggins, Vanmarcke
Notable others - Gesink and Crawford haven't got the TT skills to challenge for a GT I don't think (and Gesink's Recovery stat isn't high enough either), but they will be invaluable in helping the Leader - I'm planning for Crawford, Rogers and Popovych to ride the Tour and Gesink and Devine the Vuelta; Siutsou will help Devine in the Giro.

I'll upload it in the savegame thread tonight if I get the chance
I've finalised my season plans and my GT squads will be (Leader in red, Sprinter in green):
Tour de France:..........Giro d'Italia:.........Vuelta a Espana:
Pardilla......................Devine.................Gerdemann
Gesink.......................Siutsou................Devine
Crawford....................Moreno................Kirchen
Rogers.......................Blanco.................Moreno
Siutsou......................Voeckler...............Zabriskie
Blanco.......................Rabon..................Machado
Cavendish..................Pacheco...............Pacheco
Boasson Hagen...........Boom...................Posthuma
Wiggins......................Southerland..........Vanmarcke
My TdF squad is pretty strong, in both Mountain and TT categories, so we should have a good chance with the overall and KOM jerseys, and with Cavendish, EBH and Wiggins as the sprint train we should win stages as well.
The Vuelta team is also strong, as I want Gerdemann to win the overall, but one of the sponsor goals is to finish as leading sprinter. In the last few seasons of this career its been a Puncheur who has won the Vuelta sprint jersey, so Kirchen will be going for that instead of riding in the Tour of Germany.
The Giro team is the weakest, although Devine shuold get a top 5 and we have the ability to win stages and the KOM jersey.
I'll be starting the new season in Australia in the next few days.....wish me luck!

Contador has the highest Mountain stat in my game as well, with 83, with Pardilla and Gonzalez on 82 in joint second. They were the top 3 in last season's Tour de France, and I would expect the same again this season tbh, although hopefully Pardilla will win it this time! B)

Good question, well asked!
I like to give Pacheco a run out in 2 GTs as he has mountain and hill stats of 70 and 73 respectively, and can win stages where other sprinters have been dropped or are tired from small climbs. But looking at Vanoverschelde, the reason I haven't given him a go in the big tours is twofold:
Firstly, he is only about 23, and until he has fully developed I don't like to give youngsters more than 40 days of racing. A GT takes out 21 of those days, plus about 10 to get fit so I feel like I can get a better return with the youngsters from putting them in shorter races.
Secondly, Vano's recovery stat is only 66, which means that by halfway through a GT he will be absolutely knackered, and will probably end up being dropped horribly on a mountain stage and wind up outside the time limit. My other 3 big sprinters on the other hand have recovery stats in the 70s, and so are better suited to the longer races.
Hope that explains my thought process

Waiting. Waiting is nothing new.
Adam had to wait for God to create a companion for him.
Noah had to wait over a century while he built the ark for the rains to come.
He had to wait for the water to recede once the rain stopped.
After not waiting for God, Abraham finally waited for God to provide and heir.
Jacob waited to see if Esau was still angry.
David waited for Saul's reign to end before taking power.
Elijah waited in caves for the Lord to speak.
Israel and Judah waited for the Messiah to come.
What are you and I waiting for? Spiritually we are waiting for Christ to return so that we can be with Him eternally (1 Thess 4:13ff; 2 Pet 3:10-15).
We need to learn this concept of waiting and apply it to our temporal life.
I can wait to make that purchase until I can afford it.
You can wait for sexual intimacy as a part of marriage.
I can have patience with you and with myself as we individually and collectively mature in Christ (1 Thess 5:14).
← What Do You See at the Cross?


"Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!" This the phrase that greets us today in the Gospel proclaimed from John. It is an announcement as well as an identification. It is proclaimed by a man who is not your usual suspect. It is John the Baptist. He is that preacher of the wilderness. John is dressed in a garment made of camel's hair and girded with a leather belt. He lives and survives in the desert, a desolate place, on a diet of locusts and wild honey. He devotes himself to warning his people and generation of the wrath that is yet to come. And then, one day, he sees Jesus coming toward him to be baptized and declares the proclamation that we continue to use in our liturgy, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world." This proclamation by John the Baptist – even before Jesus begins His ministry – is unique to the Gospel of John. At this time of the gospel writing, has performed no miracles, called no disciples, raised on one from the dead. He is still fresh from the carpenter shop. He has made no enemies, issued no controversial teachings nor ruffled any royal feathers. Any comparison to the Paschal Lamb sacrificed for the sins of the people is certainly premature. He is still at most a man who comes from the backwater town of Nazareth. He might be bucking to be an itinerant preacher but that is yet to be proven. Despite this lack of notoriety, John still sees something in Jesus that no one else does. Jesus has yet to take the main stage for His ministry. His warnings that He must suffer and die are yet to be spoken and heard. Unlike the Synoptic Gospels who accent an historical perspective in their writings, John's Gospel is more theologically accented. He wanted us to recall that Jesus – the Son of God – existed at the creation of the world. He is one in equal stature with the Father and the Spirit. He is the Word made flesh. Recall Peter's boast as we prepared to follow Jesus, walking on the water. Peter suddenly became aware of his fears and apprehensions. He could not do it and began to sink. Taking his eyes from Jesus and onto his fears created the loss of trust and strength. We have a similar time in our lives as well. That can happen to us. If we keep our gaze fixed upon our problems, our frustrations, our limitations, our poverty of either money or other resources, we will never make any headway in coping with life. You and I have within ourselves the resources for achieving amazing things if we do not allow our problems to overwhelm us. With Jesus as the center of our life, we can do all things. Listen to a story from the 1952 Olympics. You may know the story of a young Hungarian athlete in the 1952 Olympics who won a gold medal with his ability to shoot a pistol. His right hand and eye coordination were so perfect that he simply could not miss the bull's eye. Six months later that young man lost his right arm. Such a tragedy would have overwhelmed many of us. It did not overwhelm this young man. Four years later at the Melbourne Olympics he was back and he did it again. He gained another gold medal. This time he shot with his left hand…Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

There are many distractions that motorists face each day, but few are as pervasive — and dangerous — as mobile communication devices. A number of studies have shown that motorists who talk on handheld or hands-free cellular phones are as impaired as drunken drivers. Texting while driving is even more hazardous, yet it is becoming more widespread.
Is it Safer to Use Hands-free?
A 2008 report from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) notes that although hands-free phones may eliminate some of the physical distraction of handling phones, the cognitive distraction resulting from having a phone conversation continues to have an effect. The IIHS report goes on to state that phone conversation tasks typically decreased driver reaction times and travel speeds and increased lane deviations and steering wheel movements. In addition, some studies found that the performance and reaction time of older drivers is more affected by cell phone tasks.
Your parish, school or social service agency may want to consider creating its own cell phone policy for drivers. This begins with educating drivers about the laws, as well as the safety risks associated with cell phone use and texting while driving. If a driver must use the cell phone, ask that he or she pull off to the side of the road or keep conversations to an absolute minimum. Encourage drivers to let incoming calls go to voicemail. It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time when we were not tied to technology 24/7.

Q: shadows not showing with direction light — babylon.js I'm new to babylon.js and trying to do this tutorial: https://doc.babylonjs.com/start/chap7/shadows
I added shadow generator to my code, but it doesn't work.
Because I wanna work with the local environment not a playground, I installed @babylonjs/core, loader and earcut.
In the tutorial, created meshes are replaced with existing assets, but I keep them remained to understand all of the tutorial.
Instead of using written code by me, I tried to use the existing assets, I got the same result.
How can I approach to this?
Here is my code.
• index.ts
import * as BABYLON from '@babylonjs/core';
import { dude }   from './models/dude';
import { ground } from './models/ground';
const canvas = document.getElementById("renderCanvas") as HTMLCanvasElement;

        'camera', -Math.PI / 2, Math.PI / 2.5, 15, new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, 0)
    );
    camera.upperBetaLimit = Math.PI / 2.2
    camera.attachControl(canvas, true);
    const light = new BABYLON.DirectionalLight('dir01', new BABYLON.Vector3(0, -1, -1), scene);
    light.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 50, -100);

    const shadowGenerator = new BABYLON.ShadowGenerator(1024, light);

    ground(scene, shadowGenerator);
    dude(scene, shadowGenerator);

    return scene;
}

const scene = createScene();

engine.runRenderLoop(function() {

window.addEventListener("resize", function() {

For mixed media artist Jesse Blanchard, the slow cadence of island living is pictorially transformed into contemplative compositions that utilize a variety of materials.
Blanchard, who now makes his home in Santa Fe, notes an interest in imbuing imagined landscapes with a specific sense of place. Most often, this drive is culled from his own experiences growing up in New England and spending many years on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. When one considers the spectacular colors that both of these locales are known for, it becomes clear where Blanchard derives inspiration for these light drenched tableaux. Employing a palette of mellow pastels and deeper, more vivid cerulean blues or melon oranges, Blanchard evokes the easy tranquility of a beach vacation.
An established artist whose work has been extensively exhibited throughout the United States and Caribbean, Jesse Blanchard masterfully evokes a sense of time and place with his interpretive, often dream-like compositions. His work has found permanent incorporation in an impressive number of private and public collections.

Paclobutrazol (PBZ), a gibberellins inhibitor, has been effectively used to overcome the problems of flowering and tree vigor in a number of tropical and subtropical fruits like mango (Mangifera indica L.), litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.), avocado (Persea americana Mill.), citrus (Citrus sp.), etc. Soil application of PBZ on mangoes (1-20 g a.i. tree-1) reportedly reduces internodes length and causes earlier and enhanced flowering in young and old trees. PBZ also reduces the alternate bearing habit of some mango cultivars; however, the effect varies with cultivars, environments and application times. Vegetative flushing in late autumn and early winter is associated with irregular flowering of litchi trees in spring and can result in inconsistent yields. Soil application of PBZ in autumn after maturation of postharvest vegetative flush increases flowering of 'Bengal', 'Kwai May Pink' and 'Tai So' litchi. Spraying of PBZ (2-4%) has been reported to increase yield of 'Hass' avocado in the 'off' year following high yield in the previous 'on' year. The effectiveness of PBZ in promoting flowering in Citrus sp. depends on the crop load as heavy fruit load trees scarcely flowered. In medium to low fruit load trees, PBZ significantly increased the percentage of sprouted buds and floral shoots and depressed vegetative growth. This paper reviews the use of PBZ in overcoming the problems of flowering of some commercial tropical and subtropical fruits.

Fourth Row Center: Film Writings by Jason Bailey: On DVD: "Grey Gardens (2009)"
When Albert and David Maysles decided to make a documentary film in the early 1970s about Edith and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, the eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis who had been reduced to living in squalor at their East Hampton summer home, they couldn't have possibly imagined the cottage industry they were creating. That 1975 film, Grey Gardens, became both a critical smash and a cult sensation; it earned the Maysles kudos from critics and academics for furthering their distinctive "direct cinema" aesthetic, while fans of offbeat cinema made the Beales into icons, memorizing dialogue and watching the picture repeatedly. It became such a part of American pop culture that it spawned a 2006 follow-up doc, The Beales of Grey Gardens, and a Tony-nominated Broadway musical adaptation that ran for over 300 performances.
When news broke that HBO was making a new film of Grey Gardens, this reviewer presumed it would be a film version of that Broadway show. But director Michael Sucsy (who wrote the teleplay with Patricia Rozema) is up to something more interesting here; his new Grey Gardens is instead a dramatic companion piece to the documentary (and the story it told), hop-scotching through the Beales' remarkable story and providing background, sidebars, and footnotes to compliment what we already know from the previous picture.
The film begins with the Maysles brothers (Arye Gross as Al, Justin Louis as David) screening their finished film for "Big Edie" (Jessica Lange) and "Little Edie" (Drew Barrymore). We then jump back to the 1930s, when the Beales were hobnobbing with New York's high society, and from there the film operates on those two parallel timelines: the production of the film and their lives before it, how far they fell and how it happened.
Perhaps because I had just watched the documentary in preparation for this film and this review, I was stunned by the uncanny accuracy of the scenes related to that original film; the set and prop reproductions, the re-enactment of scenes from the documentary, and the make-up and costuming of Barrymore and Lange is simply stunning (only one complaint: the single replication of one of their arguments from the doc is too clean—there's not enough overlapping in their dialogue).
But this is not just a curiosity piece for fans of the Maysles films—indeed, the replications are a nice plus for those in the know, but Sucsy's film stands on its own feet (and plays just fine for audiences unfamiliar with the material). It's not a flawless picture—some of the cross-cutting (both within timelines and within related sequences) is a little erratic, and Sucsy occasionally takes too-full advantage of opportunities for obvious melodrama (as in Little Edie's midnight hair-cutting scene, in which the otherwise-strong script and score are too overcooked).
However, the tremendous performances at the film's center more than compensate. Lange is so consistently good in everything that she does that there is a tendency to take her skill for granted, but this is a tough, emotional (yet emotionally stunted) role, and she nails every note of it. Her cold acceptance of her husband's wish for a divorce and her breakdown during her first scene alone in the big home are among the best work she's done in a film.
And Barrymore is magnificent. I might have questioned her odd accent had I not just seen the real McCoy; she is spot-on, but there's more to the performance than replicating Little Edie's peculiar vocal stylings. Both actors are doing that thing that Jamie Foxx did in Ray or Denzel Washington did in Malcolm X—a flawless impression first, and then a skillful performance that transcends mere impersonation. Barrymore ages from a luminous twentysomething to a balding fiftysomething and never strikes a false chord; she's always been a wonderfully reactive actor, and this is a performance of tremendous pain and unhappiness, most of it conveyed between the lines and within the subtext. It's a truly marvelous piece of work, and an excellent reminder that there's a fine actress within the star of He's Just Not That Into You.
Jeanne Tripplehorn is wonderfully understated in a brief role as Jackie O, whose appearance (during the vivid and fascinating sequence concerning their near-eviction by health and sanitation officials) gives the film a healthy third-act bounce. Some wonder if the original documentary exploited the Beales, holding them up for smug ridicule (and if its cult following is a testament to that). There are compelling arguments to be made in either case, but that's certainly not a charge that can be leveled at this Grey Gardens; in fact, that question is indirectly asked during its melancholy closing sequences, which are surprisingly moving and bittersweet. The Maysles pictures pointed their cameras at the Beales and showed us the who and the what, but not the why. The Sucsy film asks why, and with the help of two tremendous actors, it may just answer that hefty question.
The new HBO version of Grey Gardens sounds like a novelty or a fluke, but it's the real deal—an intelligent, emotional, impeccably made biographical portrait of two women who remained, if nothing else, true to themselves and true to each other. With excellent period details and near-flawless performances, Grey Gardens is well worth a look.
"Grey Gardens" is currently available on DVD.

Cheese Has a Much Different Meaning At Riverside Deli

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The folks at the Whiteway Deli in Riverside don't just have your sandwich in mind when they tell you "say cheese."
The owner, Sam Salem, has been taking customer photos with an old Canon behind the front counter for decades.
"I started, then I got the camera as a gift in 1972, I just wanted to practice on customers, and then it just blew up," he said.
He still fills it with film, takes the exposed roll for processing, and at the end of each week, posts new customer photos on the walls.
In all, Sam estimates he's taken more than 70,000 customer photos. Of course, he can't fit all of those on the walls.
So, he's got shoe boxes, photo albums and a warehouse in the back full of photos. He refuses to throw any away.
"You know them, you know their family, you see their kids growing up," he said.
