Day 6

Day 6 started off with a morning call for me that lasted a lot longer than I expected (since the normal weekly one was cancelled and this was something else all together).  After the normal feeding, changing diapers, pumping, and getting the diaper bag ready with extra clothes, washcloths, diapers for both boys, snacks for the big one, and wipes galore, we headed out for lunch at Mickey D's for the big 3 year anniversary with the whole fam bam!  Woo woo.  And a big deal is the fact that instead of both forgetting our anniversary this year, we both made sweet homemade thoughtful gifts for each other.

Andy extended a poem he wrote for me for Christmas when we were dating and I made him a slideshow of the last three years with only one rule: that we both were in the photo.  Turns out , there is only one photo with Bubba in it.  How sad is that... we need to start taking more family photos with the four of us.

After yummy ice cream at Mickey D's and buy one get one free quarter pounders with fries, we ventured off to track down a man we met at the Golf Travel Show a few months ago to buy some green turf stuff for Andy to make a putting green for the boys' room.  I fell asleep in the car with the boys while Andy was getting the order at some dude's home in Spokane Valley (definitely more ghetto than South Hill in Spokane).  We had to drive from a house to a warehouse to get the actual piece of green but it was close so I continued to nap and only came out of my groggy state of being to ask Andy if we were done yet and to remind him I had to go home to pump!

I was awakened from my nap by the giddy school boy sitting next to me in the car after he got the green.  His eyes were wide with excitement and I asked him if the putting green was for Jordan and Bubba or him.  He said it was for OGO, him, Jordan and Bubba.

The night was a little tough because Bubba decided to wake up promptly every three hours to poop or eat or both, but I can't really complain since I have for the most part, had someone helping me from 5 PM - 10 PM every night, which has made it a lot easier than if it were just me. Last night, I discovered that I had been overlooking Shelby's true asset as the key person to put Jordan to sleep instead of me.  He went down at 9 PM instead of the night before's 11 PM or the night before that which was 10 PM.  I also have noticed my milk supply going down.  Part of the reason is because I am too lazy to pump at night (or in the early morning really).  In trying to get my milk supply back, I've been up for the last three nights with each feeding pumping for 15 minutes.  To stay awake, I go to the living room where I watch something on TV after feeding Bubba who then just lies next to me in the wannabe boppy.

One more day.  One more night.  Then we will have made it through seven straight nights without Andy.  Three of which it was just me and the boys.  Four of which Shelby was here to help out often (in the mornings when I had calls and from 5PM - 10 PM).  All of which I missed Andy so so much! And then we have Friday to pack and finalize, Saturday morning help comes to move everything into the truck, and hopefully not all of Saturday will be spent cleaning the apartment.

Here's to the last day of night float.

Nurses in the firing line

By Gene Alcantara/ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau – After six years in the UK, if a nurse does not earn £35,000 per annum, she will be kicked out by the British Government. This is one of the continuous series of new announcements by the Home Office on migration which came out in the newspapers.

What effect does this threatened immigration change have on nurses in the United Kingdom, as well as on their employers?

Let us look at the lives of a few nurses who were recruited to the UK, their reactions to the announcement, and its possible effect on their lives.

Dyll Armamento, a Cebuana, graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of San Carlos where she did her BSc and Masters. She obtained a high score of 9.0 in IELTS. After trying and failing to work as a nurse in Singapore, Armamento tried the UK. She arrived in January 2014 with a Tier 2 Migrant visa. Because she went through a legitimate agency, she did not even have to pay a placement fee, nor did she pay for her airfare.

“It took me a year and 3 months to wait for my registration, because of the influx of nurses, and I think NMC has a hard time. NMC has a small office, when we came, another batch came, we are in the queue, plus the coming of the EU, plus their own graduates, na sila ang priority, that’s why it took that long,” Armamento said.

At first, she had expectations about having a huge salary, and the promise of becoming a citizen of the UK, but now she does not know if it will become a reality.

For Armamento, it is a huge advantage for a nurse to come to the UK and she recommends it to others. She said, “Definitely, coming here in the UK is my ticket to see the world. I’ve travelled na a few countries, especially in EU which I never imagine I could have done if I were in the Philippines. We, in the NHS, we are given at least seven weeks, paid leave, so that’s two months, so I was really enjoying it.”

For her, the new requirement on income level and the threat of removal is like saying that the UK government no longer welcomes migrant nurses, although they are needed.

This made her feel insecure about her future here, although on the other hand, this made her think of other options such as going to another country where they treat nurses better.
Armamento believes the Home Office policy could still change. That is because they have not seen yet what effect the loss of migrant nurses will have on the NHS. She wants to know what they will do when they no longer have people to look after their patients here.

Lyra del Rosario, from Manila, was 21 years old when she finished her nursing course at the University of Sto Tomas. She came to the UK as a student in 2007 to do a Master of Science in Public Health course at Anglia Ruskin University. She now works as a Clinical Trial Coordinator at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Del Rosario is not worried about the new requirement on salary and number of years of work. This is because she has two options to rely on. The first is that she has a European fiancé who could get her as a family member. Secondly, she is nearing her 10th year in the UK always with a visa, and this will allow her to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

She follows the immigration rules closely, knowing that it is very dependent on who is in power. But although she is not affected personally, she realizes that many nurses will be affected by the salary threshold of £35k. She is a member of the UST Nursing Alumni Association in the UK and Ireland, and they have undertaken a survey of their 100 members on the issue. They will release an official statement in due course but Del Rosario said they will include possible effects on the members and the need to consider a back-up plan.

If nurses encounter problems, most likely their employers or their union will assist them. They have UNISON branches in their hospital, and she knows that “they will have a say and they will fight for the Filipino workers or other workers within the hospital.”

Northwick Hospital Nurses

At Northwick Park Hospital, London Northwest NHS Trust, they have already 350 Filipino nurses and they continue to recruit from the Philippines.

Two of the new nurses we spoke to, Juvy Ramos from Kidapawan City, and Ruby Belleza from Camarines Sur, both potentially will be affected by the new immigration rules as they have only arrived recently.

Both believe that the support they get from the Trust is crucial. Ramos said, “I could say that it is really very helpful to have a very supportive family, the A & E family, especially our matron, she’s really supportive in every field of learning that we have and most especially during the first time I came here.”

Belleza thought the Overseas Nursing Program (ONP) had been really helpful for them to adjust from practice in the Philippines to UK practice, especially, for example, being introduced to different technologies, different procedures.

Both Ramos and Belleza also value the fact that they have co-Filipino nurses which allow them to gain knowledge of the way the hospital is run in the UK. Ramos particularly was happy about this, “I worked with my co-Filipino nurses who speak the same language, because sometimes it takes sometime to work with other staff, because we Filipinos are used to American language back home, so its a little bit hard for me to hear words or phrases from other languages, like Scottish and Irish. Now I’m ready, because we were given a chance to slowly adapt in everything.”

Both nurses have back-up plans in case the new rule is implemented to reduce foreign workers in the UK. However they know that the hospital which recruited them will not just let them go and will continue to give them training.

According to Jonathan Davies, Deputy Director of Nursing at the London Northwest NHS Trust, they truly value Filipino nurses.

“The quality of nurses we recruited in the Philippines has been excellent, highly skilled, maintains the quality and development by a lot of trainings here in the organization, like about mentorship and support,” he said.

According to Edwin Balarao, a Senior Nurse at Northwick Park Hospital, their NHS Trust has a lot of confidence in Filipino nurses, of which they have about 350. He said, “I think, with the good result that we had since last year and this year, I think, we will still be recruiting in the Philippines in the future, to at least support the nursing professionals in this country and this Trust.”

They have been to the Philippines twice to recruit and they have in fact just come back from a recruitment drive there, and hope to bring in 200 more nurses to work in the hospital. “The London Northwick Hospital is very famous back home,” Balarao said. “We have so many applicants. They don’t apply for another Trust. They just waited for us. We have around 200-300 applicants but we have to be careful in choosing applicants.”

Not even over with the controversy surrounding nurses as a result of the recent imprisonment of Victorino Chua, the convicted murderer nurse, many were disappointed that their profession is facing another major blow.

But the reality is the “new” rule regarding the minimum income of £35,000 after six years was published by the Home Office a few years ago already. It is only recently that UK newspapers noticed it and hurriedly bandied it in their headlines together with the negative impact on the NHS.

Nurses and their employers should have been preparing already for the implementation of the new rule. The worrying thing about all this is why the government seems unaware of the negative impact of their rule on the NHS as an employer, on patients as end users, and on nursing staff.

At the same time, they appear not to care about the costs incurred by the NHS Trust of about £6,000 to recruit an overseas nurse. Recruitment and training and development costs will be wasted if foreign nurses will be driven out of the country after 6 years of service.

From April 2016, the government will introduce minimum salaries as follows:
Gross annual salary required for Indefinite Leave to Remain (source: Home Office)
From 6 — April 2016 — £35,000
From 6 — April 2018 — £35,500
From 6 — April 2019 — £35,800
From 6 — April 2020 — £36,200

However if a nurse was given work permit or sponsored employment back in 2012, it is possible that they entered a category given six years of visa and will need to leave the country to apply to work here again.

In previous immigration rules, there were no income threshold and no time limit to apply for ILR. Therefore if you arrived here before they changed the rule regarding salaries, once you have completed five years on work permit or sponsored employment, you should apply for ILR as quickly as possible. Of course, you will still need to pass the two tests required: English and Life in the UK.

For new arrivals, their salary will depend on their Band when they enter the UK. Normally when recruited at Band 5, a nurse starts with a salary of £21,692. To reach the highest pay in the band (£28,180) would take eight years which means they will never reach the minimum £35,000. In Band 6, the minimum salary is £26,041 and the highest £34,876, which could be reached in 9 years. Even senior nurses in Band 7 might worry about reaching the set salary level because the minimum rate is £31,072, and the highest £35,891 after 5 years.

If this is the case, is the UK government not giving false information to migrant nurses to entice them to come and serve in the NHS? Then after many years of service, they will then be discarded on the pretext of not reaching a certain salary level?

Will the UK end up like Middle Eastern countries where workers come in only to work and can never hope to obtain residence?

Let us hope this is not going to happen. But if it does happen, nurses yet to come to the UK need to be prepare for the day of limitation.

Before going to the UK, you need to have a contingency plan. And if really unable to reach the set salary, you should think already of your next move.

Some of the things they could do are as follows:

– Transfer to another job category, particularly one in the shortage occupation list, because this would be exempted from the salary requirement and time limit;

– If they have family here, for example a spouse/partner or a British child, they could change their visa category to family member;

– If they have a European relative working in the UK, with whom they reside, and who supported them even while back in the Philippines, they could try to apply as a European family member;

– If they have already spent 10 years in the UK always with a valid visa, they could apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain based on long residence;

And if there are no other options, then look at the possibility of transferring to a country more welcoming of migrant nurses such as Canada, USA, Australia and others.

Gravitation/Field Theory/Particle Physics

Paul Anderson, Eric Carlson, and Greg Cook lead research programs in fundamental problems related to gravitation, field theory, particle physics, and the early universe.

The Anderson Research GroupPaul Anderson and his students apply quantum field theory to the study of black holes and cosmology. The presence of a strong gravitational field results in some interesting and unusual phenomena. These include the acquisition of a nonzero energy by the vacuum and the creation of particles. In the case of black holes, such effects can both distort the spacetime geometry near a black hole and cause it to slowly lose its mass. This group is computing the distortion of spacetime near black holes. The dynamical evolution of the early universe may have been strongly affected by the existence of nonzero vacuum energy and particle production. Anderson is currently interested in the details of how particle production reheats the universe after an inflationary phase. He is also interested in quantum effects that occur during periods such as inflation when the universe is accelerating.

Eric Carlson's research covers a variety of topics including both particle phenomenology and astrophysics. For the next decade or so, astrophysics will dominate discoveries in particle physics, since there are very few opportunities at high energy colliders for new discoveries.

Dr. Carlson and Sarah KlyapTwo of his recent papers have focused on the conversion of pseudoscalars into photons in the presence of large scale or strong magnetic fields. Such conversions may provide the best limits on pseudoscalar couplings. Up to now, he has focused on methods that rely on the galactic magnetic field, and consequently are sensitive only to massless pseudoscalars. He hopes to use some of the same ideas in the context of stellar magnetic fields, allowing the probing of much larger masses. He hopes to improve limits on the axion by this technique.

One area he has focused on recently is the possibility of a naturally small cosmological constant. A positive cosmological constant could help resolve the apparent discrepancy between the large estimated ages of stars in globular clusters and the rather large value of the Hubble constant coming from most recent experiments. It is difficult to see how such a small cosmological constant could arise. In a paper with W.D. Garretson, he explored the possibility that the universe might have a zero cosmological constant in the true vacuum, but that we might lie in a false vacuum. The smallness of the splitting between the two vacua could arise due to the appearance of an accidental discrete symmetry connecting the two vacua. The splitting would be the result of Planck-scale suppressed nonrenormalizable terms which would violate the discrete symmetry. Carlson hopes to explore models which demonstrate these ideas in a more natural way in the near future.

Neutrino physics is another area that interests Carlson. He has written several papers involving various neutrino mass generation mechanisms, and he is returning to this subject once more. Neutrino masses naturally arise in many extensions of the standard model, and could have important cosmological consequences. With new results from various solar neutrino and terrestrial neutrino experiments, and the appearance of new detectors in the near future, this will be a rapidly growing field.

Carlson believes astroparticle physics to be one of the most promising areas in particle phenomenology in the next decade or two.

Go to top of page

Dr. Cook and grad student Jason GrigsbyGreg Cook's research interests are in the areas of computational astrophysics and gravitational physics. Currently, his research is centered on studying the coalescence of compact binary systems. Compact binaries are systems containing a pair of black holes or neutron stars that orbit each other. Eventually, the objects in these systems must collide since they are constantly loosing energy in the form of gravitational waves. These gravitational waves that are produced as these compact objects spiral closer together, as well as those that are produced when they collide and settle down, will be observed in the latest generation of laser-interferometer gravity wave detectors that are currently under construction. By observing these collisions, it is expected that we will learn a great deal about the physics of strong gravitational fields, the behavior of ultra-dense matter, the expansion of the universe, and much more.

Cook and his collaborators are currently developing the theoretical and computational tools needed to simulate the collision of a pair of black holes. Numerical simulations are the only way to study the last few orbits and the ultimate coalescence of a compact binary system, and so, they are the only way to connect theory with experimental results. Some of the issues that are currently being studied are: the computation of initial conditions for black hole and neutron star binary systems, the formulation of stable evolution schemes, and locating the surfaces of black holes as they evolve. All of these problems are heavily computational and require the use of supercomputers such as the Physics Department's IBM SP2.

Wetland Delineations—Understanding the Concept and the Purpose

What Is Wetland Delineation?
Wetland delineation begins with the location and physical limits (size) of a wetland for federal, state, and local regulations. Wetland delineation is also considered as an element of a “jurisdictional determination.” that identifies which water bodies within the boundaries of the project meet the definition of waters. With further explanation, wetland delineations are explained as:

Wetland Delineation Manual conducts wetland delineations
Wetlands t have three specific criteria to be classified as a wetland:
Hydric soils
Hydrophytic vegetation
During a wetland delineation, a project area is surveyed to determine whether the wetlands are set with the three criteria or not
Regulatory water body or stream requirements can vary from state to state

What Purpose Does It Serve?
The wetlands provide several beneficial uses especially for fish and wildlife, habitat and people as well. Hence, the benefits are:

Improving water quality and protecting it
Providing a suitable habitat
Storage of flood waters
For recreation and aesthetics
Controlling erosion

Why Wetland Delineations Are Done?
• NJDEP Wetland Delineations in New Jersey are done to evaluate jurisdictional waters.
• Wetland delineations are important because they map up the particular areas where stream occurs.

When to Get Wetland Delineation
Sometimes people get ready to build their house or an addition to an existing home. With this, they need to know that there are streams or wetlands on the property or not. In most cases, people cannot build any building within wetlands or streams without getting a permit from the city or county. So, to comply with local, state, and federal regulations, an individual will need to know the location of wetland boundaries and their widths before building the property. In such cases, NJDEP Wetland Delineations in New Jersey keep a track of such situations so that the ecosystem is not disturbed or damaged.

NJDEP Wetland Delineations in New Jersey makes a study that involves a thorough investigation of critical areas having a wetland. Such critical area boundary is flagged and displayed on a map along with the final width.

Works of Wetland Delineation
Is required by local jurisdictions when wetlands, streams, and shorelines are present in a particular area
The work also involves detailed analysis of critical area with its types, boundaries, and buffer widths present
The Clients may need to get:
Reports to get permission
Get wetland determination and rating forms

In Conclusion
Some wetlands are considered to be permanent or persistent while others may be seasonal and may not be readily identified at certain times of the year. So, it becomes wise that people should tell about the wetland and get wetland delineations in New Jersey by professionals.

Easy Darl

This would have to be my most used dish, a true favorite and so versatile. We have it with nearly all our curries, on warm toast for breakfast, in a freshly baked roll and even with cheese in a sandwich.

There is always some made in my fridge ready to be consumed.

Here is the basic recipe that can be changed to suit yourself and tastes.

1 cup of washed RED LENTILS.

1 can of diced TOMATOES.

1 diced ONION.

2 tablespoons of PATAKS or SHARWOODS CURRY PASTE, always use a hot or medium as the mild is a waste of time. IMHO. Don't use tandoori.

1 cup of WATER.

Now, as the title suggests, this really is EASY DARL.

Put all ingreds into a microwaveable dish, and stir well. Place in microwave on high setting and cook 'til lentils have become mushy, stirring now and then, (every 5 mins) and checking to see if it needs more water. This may take up to 30 minutes. You can't overcook this dish.

Sometimes I also add CORN, PEAS or diced CAPSICUM to it. It's one of those dishes that anything goes. I have even added it to MEAT CURRIES to stretch them out a little more.

I made a very HOT BEEF CURRY and a milder sweet VEGETABLE and MANGO CURRY and served it with pain boiled Basmati rice and Naan bread.

A tip from one of my blogger friends. Put your toilet rolls in the fridge when you are serving a HOT curry. LOL.

Do hope you enjoy this, please let me know.

Hello Ladies this entry is from Doris.. she has asked me to post it for her.. because her computer is acting up a bit on her.. so here goes.. this is what Doris has to say :)

I didn't buy a thing to make this, not even more pins to stick in there ;-) I really wanted more pretty pins, but simply had no more as I'm not a seamstress.
This cactus is removable. Instead of crocheting a pot for the cactus, I decided to use one of my empty glass votive candle cups. I frequently buy candles in a glass cup and when they are empty, I wash them and keep them for another purpose. So, this cactus is crocheted and stuffed with fiberfill. I crocheted a red flower for the top and sewed a ladybug button on the side. I like it because you can fill the glass cup with extra pins or buttons or what nots for your sewing needs.
Hope you like it!

Doris ~
I'm so glad you took on the Challenge and played along with the group! I am always amazed at what you can do with yarn, your crocheting is sooo beautiful! Sooo, now I know pincushions can be made with yarn and this one is soo cute :)

PFM Logo Fokker Triplane Model T Curtiss Canuck

Volunteer Work Day

July 12, 2008

Reported by Tom Gaylord and Al Sumrall

Carl Canga brought sad news: long-time Team Fokker member Dick Schenk passed way late last week. He is survived by two daughters. Dick was involved throughout the Fokker Triplane project and was affectionately known as "Der Tripemeister" for his passion about the triplane project in particular. We will miss him.

The volunteer team had a good turnout with Dave Miller, Jeffery Basham, Mike McCormick, Terry Bledsoe, Al Sumrall, Sanford Swope, Gary Goolsby, Carl Canga, Ron Marcotte, Bill Walsh, Tom Gaylord, Doug Hortvet, and Derek Staha showing up to work. (I feel I am leaving somebody out... my apologies!).

Tim Miller and John Bush were not present, but have spent several days during the week at Roger's working on Thomas-Morse tail feathers.

The main work of the day involved making further progress on the Tommy parts. There is one elevator remaining to be rib stitched, and many of the parts have been taped, though a couple are still works in progress.

Roger has stated that he wants to "finish" the parts we are working one before moving on to other Tommy parts. So once we get the silver dope coats completed we'll probably move on to the wings.

Assembling Spandau ornaments

Derek stayed till lunchtime and then had to depart for a family reunion. Dave and Jeffery started their day out assembling two replica Spandau machine guns (shipped as "Metal Ornaments for Antique Aircraft"!) that will be mounted in the Customer D.VII. These units are all metal and are from a relatively new vendor in South Africa - and are these babies ever gorgeous!!!

Dave and Jeffery's biggest challenge was deciphering the South African style English assembly instructions.

Bill Walsh and I worked on the Fokker Triplane - fixing the damage done to the starboard wing-tip skid after Roger's gentle and elegant groundloop the last work day. We managed to straighten out the bent parts, but ultimately these may need to be replaced if the groundloops continue!

Tom Gaylord took the triplane's forward cockpit coaming components home to fit the padding and covers.

Terry and Mike pulled the plugs on the Cub and replaced a few of them while cleaning them all. Terry and Mike then started working on the Luscombe carb. Sanford worked on the Rearwin Sportster - ground running the engine and washing the airplane up.

Team Vehicles

Al jumped into working on the vehicle - eventually drafting Terry and Mike to solder some solenoid connections for him. I dimly recall seeing at least two of the vehicles driving around during the day, but Al was largely the sole member of Team Vehicles this day! Here's his report:

In addition to working on aircraft, Doug went out on the four wheeler and got sunburned poisoning mesquite trees. There are dozens and dozens (maybe over a hundred) suddenly growing in the airfield. I did not realize how fast they grew under these conditions. At one time I went out in the TT as I thought that he was stalled out and found myself dodging mesquite. I didn't see them till I drove out there and suddenly they were everywhere. I don't know if cutting them will be sufficient. It may be necessary to harvest them; of course, I am no expert in field maintenance. Hopefully the poisoning will turn them all brown so they can be seen better. We could use the TT for this work.

As Tom mentioned team vehicles was a bit short on the usual suspects and it was Ron Marcotte that helped me install the solenoid (Ron did most of the work and taught me some stuff--I'm good at avoiding work) but another problem arose with the wrecker. It kept blowing the fuse on the hot wire leading to the starter on the steering column. I presume we have a short of some type. The drill will be to follow the wire to the starter switch and I am guessing it might be a good idea to replace the switch. I don't think we have a major issue here, as the starter turned over the engine nicely then stopped when the fuse blew. Roger F says the wire to the starter should not be pulling that much amp? resistance?, anyway I think it will be a hunt. I will also be bringing some 30 amp fuses as the replacement fuses we tried were 25 amp.

The TT ran nicely and as always the signal corps truck is a "sweetheart". The TT's right front tire is a slow leaker so it is something we have to make sure the air pressure is right every time we want to run it. Other than that she is the strong runner that Roger said it was and she looks kind of spiffy with those green strakes. With some wheel varnish and painted grease caps she would look even nicer. Both the Signal Corps truck and the TT did various utilily functions during the day. With the heat and all, they are saving a lot of lugging heavy stuff like ladders, air tanks and such during the day saving on wear and tear on volunteers.

I hope more Team Vehicles can appear for the next workday so we can hopefully get the wrecker back in the pink as well as start and run the Quad some more. Without a "crew" I am uncomfortable running the Quad right now. I had purchased the solenoid from Tractor Supply and saw a starter button that should replace the one that is on the wrecker. It is in an awkward place in the hangar and it takes an effort to move planes out to get to it. Right now the TT and signal corps truck are in positions where they are easy to access and that really makes a difference.

Who Do You See?

"When did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?" (Matt. 25:37)

The reality is we see Christ every day. The omnipotent, self-existent, eternal Creator of all took on our human flesh with all of its fallen limitations and needs. God entered the death imprisoned world as a hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless infant. Like all of us He needed food, drink, clothing and shelter even as an adult, even as God.

The homeless are an icon of the fallen nature of our true humanity and the dependence we have on others for even our basic human needs. The homeless in reality are a mirror for our own wandering, our own hunger and thirst for something beyond ourselves, our own prisons, our own shame and nakedness that makes us hide behind our masks and avoid love and communion. We avoid eye contact with the person holding the sign because his face is our mirror, if we look into it we might be convicted of who we really are: lonely, afraid, beaten, compassionless, merciless, unforgiving, judgmental, angry, respecter of persons, proud, stingy and ungrateful.

But the homeless person IS the sign. He is the sign of the Kingdom come upon you and he will be with us always because we always need to be pointed toward the Kingdom. Will you turn away. Will you obey the sign and walk the path toward it?

There is no God?

This is a video about finding out what an anthill looks like beneath the surface. The structure is astounding, but the line in the video that is more astounding is almost an aside: The complexity of the structure looks like it was designed by an architect, a single mind, but it is the product of the "collective mind" of the ant colony. I don't know if that was meant to be more amazing or less than a "single mind". Either way, the implication is being able to design something so complex is just an "instinct" that has somehow evolved and is somehow communicated among billions of insects across what is relative to their size, miles of distance between them, with brains the size of 6 point font "period" that die quickly and are replaced... It seems to beg the question: What did the first and only ant that evolved do and did it come with all of this "instinct" built in somehow...if not, how did it survive until the specie "ant" evolved further and got its "ant act" down? Beats me, but I'm sure someone has it figured out.

One person sees random chemicals and another sees God. Go figure. Enjoy.

And When You Have Turned...

I just returned from doing a Bible study at a homeless shelter/rehab facility for men. One of the men asked last week about the passage in Luke 22:38 where the disciples say, "We have two swords" and Jesus replies, "It is enough." Why did Jesus say two swords is enough? This is the synopsis of the talk and discussion (without the schizophrenic guy's comments....)

We looked at the passage in its greater context. It is the Last Supper. The disciple's response to Jesus' statement that one of them will betray Him is to argue about who is the greatest among themselves. Jesus, having washed their feet and served them the Supper says, "The greatest is the servant of all, as I have been to you" and tells of His Passion. Peter says he will go to prison and even die for Him. Jesus tells Peter, "Satan has asked to thresh you like wheat, and you will deny me, but when you have turned, strengthen your brothers."

This is us. Jesus humbly serves, we don't notice it and instead of comparing ourselves to Him we compare ourselves to our brethren and think we're greater than the next guy because WE'D never do what HE did. Jesus tells us we'll betray Him in a heartbeat (like Peter) or even after long deliberation (like Judas), and we are grandiose and "think more highly of ourselves than we ought" (Rom. 12:6). Jesus invites us to His passion and we believe we'll actually participate, even to the death. But when the spiritual life looks a little painful or demands a commitment, we cut and run.... long before death or even discomfort. Satan demands a shot at us all and God will permit it for our sakes and our humbling spiritual growth is for ourselves, it is always for making us a servant.

A couple days ago I worked at a bazillion dollar house and one of the artifacts they had was an antique wheat thresher that looks like this. It is a large board with hundreds of flint blades embedded in it that is dragged over the top of the wheat to separate the chaff from the wheat grains.

This is what Jesus was telling Peter: You will be threshed. It will hurt. A lot. It is the only way to break through the outer husk and expose the grain that will become bread for the hungry. When your chaff is removed, through your repentance you will be able to minister to your brethren. It is a spiritual warfare, take up a sword. Peter says, we have two. He doesn't get it yet.

Two swords among eleven apostles. Jesus knows there is a garrison of Roman soldiers coming with Judas to take Him away. Two swords are enough? For what?

Two swords are enough to teach the disciples what they needed to know. None of them were as great as they thought and argued about. Peter, the one who would die with Christ, had one of the swords, and he bravely cuts off the ear of a servant boy, not a Roman soldier, and he runs away... he didn't go to prison, he didn't die. The other sword? It probably never got drawn. Peter then denies his Friend. Two swords were enough to make the point Jesus needed to make: You are weak, you are deluded, you don't get it. My kingdom is not of this world, it does not come by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit as Zachariah said.

The men in recovery (as do we all) have two swords always at their disposal. We think of them as our "formidable weapons". God knows we have a false self assessment and are overconfident in our defenses. The men in recovery (as we all are) are normally in a state of delusion. " We would NEVER...... We will ALWAYS be..........We are the greatest", even if we say we are the least. We go to the Garden with Christ with all of our delusions of greatness and martyrdom for His sake, that we will never betray Him. We have two swords. And we take a stab at the least difficult opponent then chicken out.

The two swords are I'm spiritually strong enough.... "I can drink one beer at the party", "I can have one phone call with that old girlfriend", "I can go back to the old neighborhood and hang with the homies for one hour", "I can watch the game at the old bar and just have an iced tea"...or any number of "normal sins". We have a sword, yes, but in the end it is inadequate to defend against the forces of the enemy. But it is enough to humble us, to show us our true self, to bring us to Christ and cast ourselves at His feet seeking forgiveness. And we learn it is not by our power, nor by our might, but by God's Spirit that we enter the Kingdom.

And this is our threshing, the removal of our delusions. It can happen no other way. God can tell us the truth abut who we really are, but most of us have to experience the truth. The removal of chaff is hard. It is painful. It is brutal. But only through the process is wheat revealed and bread can be made.

And when we turn from our self delusion and pride and boasting and turn and humble ourselves before God and lay aside our "swords" and take up the Cross, we can then strengthen the brethren.

It is humbling to be in the presence of 20 men who are being threshed, who are facing their denial and failure, who stink of the pig pen but are on the road home to the Father. May they find His embrace, His robe, His ring, His Fatted Calf and their place in His house once again.

Steve The Builder Begins

My first solo podcast is now available at Ancient Faith Radio

Avid followers of my blog will recognize some of the themes and subjects of several of the initial podcasts, but they've been expanded, sanitized and fleshed out for general consumption.

Bill and I will continue doing Our Life in Christ as we can hammer out time out of our mutual kid/life/work/church schedules, but this is a bit of a hobby for in between.

Remember Novémbré

2822667304_a8d1a3a593_oI’ve had a busy, but fun past two weeks, so didn’t prep a “monthly look ahead” post as I usually do, so it’s being posted now instead.

Sketchy on the details3782499419_e661e6b4c1 I’m going to try and keep at a steady pace with my drawing once again, and try as hard as I can to get the comic started before the end of the year.

Job Huntingian-smith-old-cv-page-1I often get fed up with my job, and I know it could be a lot worse, but it could also be a lot better, so I’m going to see what else is on offer out there this month.

Brains!brain-1 I’m going back to the hospital on the 20th of this month, to see if they can tell me any more about my seemingly mysterious neurological problems. I am hoping that they stick me with some medication, or run some more tests. Anything else than “meh. You seem fine.”

Unfortunately that’s all I can think of for this month, well, as long as I’m happy right? And I’m currently very happy and often ecstatic. :)

Inspired by Frosty

A fun new challenge is ready and waiting for you at Digitally Sweet Challenges.

Inspired by Frosty

Several years ago I started collecting snowmen so I was thrilled to have Frosty as our theme this week.  Isn't this the cutest image!?  You can find more adorable images by visiting Lunagirl.   Since I seem to be in a time crunch, I chose to use a quick page, meaning that all the elements had already been added to the page.  All I had to do was add the image.  Wonderful time saver for such a time as this, LOL!

I do hope you will hop on over to Digitally Sweet and join us.  We love to see all your lovely creations!
Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

  1. I've been known to collect a snowman or two myself. :-) Love the vintage image you've used. There's nothing like the Christmas's of the past. Hugs!

  2. I love snowmen too! This is awesome!

2) Thank You Note
a) The Farmington Valley Corporate Park (“FVCP”) race venue is permitted by the Town of Plainville. Not all businesses within the FVCP are in favor of the race series.
b) The Plainville Town Manager permits our use of the town road and right-of-way.
c) By sending a brief “Thank You Note” to the Town of Plainville, Municipal Center, 1 Central Square, Plainville, CT 06062, Robert Lee, Town Manager,, you help ensure that this venue is available in the furure.

3) Lapped Riders
a) The PSS is for spring training and permits lapped riders to remain in the race (USAC para 3D3b).

4) Club/Team ID
a) Your Club and Team are shown on your license.
b) In order to a racing member of a club it must be listed on your license (USAC para 1A17).
c) You wear the jersey/kit of the club/team you are licensed with (para 1L4).

5) Event Waiver Forms
a) I require one event waiver form to be completed for each race that a rider participates in.

6) Junior Roll-Out
a) Junior riders MUST report to the officials IMMEDIATELY after the race in order to have junior gear restrictions tested by the “roll out” method.

Cat 4/5 <40,>39, 9:00am
EBCC demonstrated exceptional teamwork with Gerry on break, Ralph sitting on the field, and Pat doing it all (break, prime lead-out, finishing sprint). It was a great team performance!

Cat 3/4 >39, 10:00am
Small field …almost postponed to 11 … Bill Thompson clearly the strongest rider.

Cat 4/5 Open, 11:00am
Greg Carpenter drove a three man break for most of the race. The break ultimately got caught. Greg won the sprint finish, threw his hands up in victory, then bumped and crashed with the 2nd place rider. A lesson learned!

Cat 3/4 Open, 12:00pm
Anthem vs Clinton. John Durham won the prime and the finish with fantastic power. He also initiated a break that lapped the field. Stan Luzon ran out of gas 100m from the finish.

Go Fast ... JIM

Profession: Musicologist, freelance model, art and antique collector.
Origin: Javanese, Chinese, Indian, French-Jewish, African. All mixed up in Surinam (South America)
City: Amsterdam
Education: BA Musicology, University of Amsterdam.

Why do you do what you do? During my studies, which I finished last summer, I got involved in the art and antiques scene of Amsterdam. I collect all sorts of art and antiques. Think about Chinese porcelain, ancient antiquities, sculptures, paintings and many more things like that. As with modeling, I do this because I  love the style of the designer or the artist behind the work giving it its uniqueness and authenticity.

Could you describe your style and how it developed? I would like to describe my style as authentic, discrete but slightly rebellious. I always ‘try’ to avoid main shopping streets, instead I never look for anything specific but I always find something amazing.

Where do you get inspiration from? Besides an occasional space-muffin my inspiration grows by encountering art and antiques daily. My daily activities are, at the same time, my greatest source of inspiration. But I also love to be in nature, bike around in the ‘Amsterdamse Bos’ (Amsterdam forest) or do a boat trip over the canals. I furthermore get inspired by travelling, family and books about art, philosophy and spirituality.

What is the best part about working within the creative industries? That I work in my own time, find my own challenges and set my own goals. Do what I love.

What do you wish you knew about your business before you got started? Thing about a question – type it in on Google – find as many information as you wish. Nowadays we can find everything on the web. Obviously it depends on your own curiosity and willingness to dig in.

Has your style develop/change over the time being active? If yes, how? To be honest I have never been too materialistic. During my student time in Amsterdam I moved about ten times bringing only my guitar, pc, matras, some clothes and at least one table. I improvise and like to take only what I need. I really do love traces of wear and age, and this counts also for what I wear. But since I’ve been modeling I discovered this threshold for quality and design and I must admit that this changed my style. It adds up.

Who would you like to work with? I would like to stay in touch with SPRMKT in Amsterdam, there is not much in their collection I would not be happy to wear. But, I particularly love this designer Thamanyah and was also highly fascinated by Jazz Kuipers.

What is your idea of success? Experiencing growth.

Is there a message that you are trying to portray through your work?It is fascinating how a piece of Chinese porcelain for example can look brand new but still be two or three hundred years old. To me this makes the difference and you should have hold something like that in your hand to feel what I mean. Quality and expertise is a durable choice enabled by knowledge.

Do you believe it is important to raise artistic awareness in your country?  Yes, what is more important in the creative industry then stimulate support, compassion and admiration for the work of all these people who work so hard to create what they love?

In your opinion, how important is it to culturally educate through art? Art teaches us about the mind of artists in past civilizations and cultures. There is no better objective, as a source of information about the evolution of the human mind, than art. It is resistant and caries a meaning of a very specific but past time and place. So if we want to teach children how awesome people are and always have been art might be the perfect solution!

Image Rights Contracts: How they cost Players tax money and why Players shouldn’t sign them

Image Rights Contracts Cost Players Taxes

Image Rights Contracts Cost Players Taxes

Image rights contracts increase players’ taxes, and teams can breach them without any liability to the player. Over the last ten or so years many European teams have begun signing players to image rights contracts in addition to the players’ salary contracts. Teams get significant tax advantages from image rights contracts and often pressure agents and players to sign them. Many agents and players do not understand the full legal ramifications in terms of tax liability and enforcement, and sign the image rights contracts without much thought. But that needs to change because many teams are now using the BAT to avoid their obligations in the image rights contracts.

How Image Rights Contracts Work

Here’s how image rights contracts work: Typically a player will sign an original contract with a team for a salary amount net of all taxes. Let’s use, for example, a contract worth $200,000. After the player signs the original contract, the team will approach the player with two additional contracts, a league contract and an image rights contract.… Read More

Nata Village in Botswana

April 27, 2008 1 comment

The Nata Village blog was set up two years ago and aims to raise awareness for the African way of life and the needs of the village – according to the founders donations to Africa often do not reach remote parts of Botswana like Nata. In particular HIV/AIDS is having a devastating effect on the people living in the village, which has a population of just 5000.

kids_enjoying_school_supplies.jpgSince then the site has brought attention from all over the world to the village of Nata. The main focus is on AIDS/HIV prevention and treatment activities, but there are also many stories and photos showing Nata’s people, their customs and how they live. In the picture local school children are enjoying the chance to play with pens and paper after a donation of supplies.
