I’m not like “the church lady” Dana Carvey hilariously depicted in Saturday Night Live who saw Santa and Satan as one because their names shared the same letters. Nor do I think Christians need to be on the Holiday Crusades by making sure Jesus gets more attention for his birthday than Santa.
But as a parent, I don’t plan on convincing my children Santa is real and I don’t want to uphold the basic premise behind all Santa related stories. I’m not saying anyone who does this is a terrible person or a bad Christian, but my main problem with Santa is the underlying message in his stories (and yes, I also do have. The overall message of all Christmas stories—books, songs, movies, or TV shows—presents a gospel of works that is quite different from the gospel of grace in the Bible.
The story of how God treats us according to his grace is very unlike the tale of how Santa treats us based on our works. I understand why so many parents would want to get Santa on their side to help with behavior control. “You better be good or Santa won’t get you any presents.” I have an almost two-year-old and if that line worked with her I’d be tempted to use it. But as a parent, I just don’t think this message is how I want to motivate my child.
As I Christian parent I have to wrestle with this question: since Santa is presented as a god-like figure in many ways (all-knowing, all-seeing, ever-present, powerful, giver of gifts, judge and jury, etc.), do I want to reinforce stories teaching my kid to trust in their works and good deeds or to humbly admit they’ll never be good enough to earn God’s favor and gifts so they need to live by grace? I’ll take grace any day. And since by default we tend to relate to God by our works rather than grace, I don’t want to build stories into their life that construct a works-based way of living. That probably seems strong, but here’s some of my rationale.
The Santa story communicates a message of works and performance. If you are good enough, you get a gift and are rewarded for your work. If you’re good enough, you can make it on the “nice list” rather than the naughty list. What you get isn’t really a gift, it’s earned: either the present or the coal. As I Christian parent, do I want my kid to embrace stories teaching them that what they receive—gifts and blessing versus punishment—is based on their works and their behavior? (Again, the question isn’t can they watch a Santa movie but do I want to celebrate Santa in such a way it reinforces the basic premises in all the Santa stories.) For me, the answer is no.
As someone who believes we’re saved in Christ alone by grace alone through faith alone, I’m willing to nail Luther’s 95 Theses to the door at Santa’s North Pole. While a “gospel of works” might be how the world works and how so many human relationships work, I want to do whatever I can to cultivate in my child a way of perceiving and living in the world where there’s a place for grace. The “Santa debate” at Christmas isn’t then a hill to die on for me but it’s simply another opportunity to show the beauty and goodness of living by grace.
But, through Jesus, God treats us not according to what we’ve earned but according to what Christ earned for us. We don’t get blessings based upon our works but because of his works. God relates to us from grace, not performance. God does not love me more or act with kindness on my good days, and he isn’t withholding good and sitting back in disappointment and anger with me on my bad days. On my own, every day is a bad day because every day I do something (some sin) contrary to God and His Word. I will never earn God’s love or favor or His kind gifts. That’s why I’ve placed my faith in Jesus and my whole relationship with God is based on who I am in Jesus, which means I receive grace and favor through him rather than what I merit on my own.
This means not just salvation but every good gift is actually out of God’s grace. The two words are even semantically related in Greek (the language the New Testament was written in). Grace is charis whereas gift is charisma or charismata. Biblically, a gift literally means a gift of grace. So (undeserved) gifts are by nature different from a payment earned. This is true not just of salvation (Rom. 3:21-26) but of any gifts from God we’re given. Consider just a few verses assuring us everything we have is fromGod and is a gift of grace.
God doesn’t watch us to see who is good, who’s on the nice list, and then give gifts based upon what we’ve done. God sees each of us and knows we belong on the naughty list, but despite us he still loves us. Rather than giving us coal or judgment we deserve he fills our life with grace and goodness. He relates to us not according to what we deserve but according to grace, which is completely purchased by and found only in Jesus Christ.
A second, related problem to this is that through the Santa stories it’s never clear what the standard of goodness versus badness is that might get me on either his naughty or nice list. Although people might not like God’s standards in the Bible, it’s at least clear what they are and what he demands. Not only is a lack of standards for making it onto the nice list a problem but the Santa story has a wrong understanding of goodness. Santa stories suggest our status (naughty or nice) is based on whether or not our good deeds outweigh our bad.
Not only does the Bible make clear that God doesn’t weigh our deeds on a scale to see if we’ve been good enough, but our courts don’t work like this either. True justice is comprehensive, not comparative. I don’t get out of a traffic violation because the other 99% of the time I’m a responsible driver. Law-breaking and committing a crime stands by itself. It’s not measured against my overall performance nor is my guilt based on how I compare to others. If I break the law, that violation is seen as a crime and judged accordingly.
The Bible says sin, which is breaking a holy God’s Law, is similar. My good deeds don’t erase the bad. Specific sins are examples of breaking God’s Law, and that law-breaking results in a guilty verdict which a Just Judge will uphold. I’m not judged based on whether I’m a good or bad person overall. God isn’t unjust and so he won’t look the other way or let crimes off the hook because of other nice things we’ve done. Again, this is why we desperately need the grace of forgiveness rather than relating to God based upon my works.
My point in this extended rant isn’t to be anti-Santa or to tell anyone they shouldn’t watch Santa movies. I’ll continue to watch Santa movies and listen to Santa songs and even have some Santa décor in my house. But at least for me, that seems different from actively and intentionally trying to convince my child that Santa is real and upholding the basic Santa premise that we will get what we deserve on Christmas day.
I can tell you as a parent, I buy my daughter gifts because I love her. I don’t get motivated to go shopping and get her gifts on the days she’s been good, and I’m not motivated to return her gifts and give her nothing when she’s bad. She’ll get a bunch of gifts on Christmas because I love her and because our father-daughter relationship and gift-giving is based on grace not performance. She’ll get gifts because she’s my daughter and I love her. Even though recently she’s been somewhat whiny, she disobeys us, she’s frustrated us, and she exhausts us at times, I still love her so much I have to restrain my fatherly impulse to buy her everything I see in the stores.
Christmas is not about earning but about gifting. It’s about grace, not performance. It’s about giving something to someone you love not because they deserve it but simply because you love them.
Thoughts? Pushback? Hate mail? I’d love to hear what other parents think or how they came to a decision on what they do or don’t say when it comes to Santa.

Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend so it’s time to start thinking about the dinner menu. Turkey will be on most tables and I’ve given a number of suggestions for excellent side dishes (Thanksgiving Side Dishes). However, for many people, the highlight of the holiday meal is dessert.
Pumpkin and apple pies are popular choices, however, I sometimes enjoy serving desserts that are a bit different yet still seasonally appropriate. Pears, apples, pumpkin, nuts and cranberries are abundant at markets right now so it’s the perfect time to incorporate them into your menu.
Pumpkin Pie with Maple-Walnut Praline – This impressive looking dessert is easy to make. If you don’t feel like fussing with the praline, the filling makes a delicious basic pumpkin pie.
Apple Pie – A classic. Be sure to serve it warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Apple-Caramel Tart – An elegant alternative to apple pie. It’s made with frozen puff pastry, making the preparation quick and easy.
Harvest Strudel – Pears, apples, cranberries, nuts and warming spices make this dessert a nice change from basic pie.
Pear and Pecan Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce – A rich caramel sauce poured over a decadent pear and nut-studded pudding takes this comfort food dish to new levels.
Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Tartlets – Raspberry season is over in most areas, however, this recipe works just as well with frozen berries.
Maple-Caramel Custards with Sea Salt – This rich custard showcases the flavour of maple beautifully. If you can find some colourful maple leaves that have fallen, they make a fun presentation.
This weekend will be the first time my roommates and I do our Thanksgiving dinners away from our families, so this year will be our first attempt to make it ourselves. This is exactly what we needed. Thanks!

These humid masses which hover over our heads are like travellers, who go to collect the riches of all countries, and return to benefit their native land. Of Fire Some of the ancients placed Fire as a fourth Element, in the highest region of the Air, because they regarded it as the lightest and most subtle. But the Fire of Nature does not differ from the Celestial Fire; this is why Moses makes no mention of it in Genesis, because he had said that Light was created on the first day. The fire which we use ordinarily is partly natural and partly artificial.
This is why the absence of the sun and of light has such a great effect upon bodies. Heat penetrates to the interior of the most opaque and hardest substances, and animates the hidden and torpid nature. Light penetrates only transparent bodies, and its property is to manifest the perceptible accidents of the composites. Thus the sun is the first natural and universal agent. In departing from the sun light strikes the dense bodies, the celestial as well as the terrestrial; it places their faculties in movement, carries them with it, reflects them and diffuses them in the upper Air as well as in the lower.
These actions one calls first impulse,29 and those which one makes without reflection, such as coming, going, eating, when one is worried by some serious affair which occupies him entirely. The animal obeys always, infallibly, his natural inclination, because it tends only to the preservation of its transient, mortal existence, in which lies all its happiness and welfare. But Man does not always follow this inclination; because, while he is disposed to preserve that which is mortal in himself, he feels also another desire which disposes him to work for the felicity of his immortal part, to which he is certain that he owes the preference.

All of our handling systems use the ultrasound-air-bearing which can be applied in any atmospheric process.
Ultrasound is vibration at frequencies beyond the upper limit of human hearing (f>20 kHz). It is generated by transducers which are powered by separate power electronics. The ultrasound generates a compressed film of air with repellent forces. Combinations of procedures make forces of attraction possible – at all instances non-contact.
Our non-contact can be used in atmospheric processes. The ambient gas (air or process gas) is compressed by ultrasound. Consequently workpieces can be levitated and conveyed without contact. In combination with negative pressure, workpieces can also be gripped on the top – without contact.
The ultrasound-air-bearing consumes less energy as other state-of-the-art handling technologies.

Planetary warming has also been observed on Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and on Neptune’s largest moon Triton during the decades following the peak of the “Solar Grand Maximum” – wonder why – there are no humans there! And Pluto is moving further from the sun in its orbit, thus it should be cooling, but instead it is warming. This is but one blatant indicator that suggests that the climate change on Earth is due to solar changes and our intersellar environment rather than mere human antics.
More importantly, the Sun is now changing from its Solar Grand Maximum to its Solar Grand Minimum. The Earth heats up after a Solar Grand Maximum, lagging a bit after the peak. With a Solar Grand Minimum now on its way, a “global cooling” may be on the horizon–a natural oscillation occurring in much longer solar cycles.
Latest science reveals that sharp increases in global warming “precede” sharp increases in CO2–not the other way around. Global warming causes more CO2 to be released form the oceans. Current research also shows that Earth’s oceans are now beginning to cool. It is also now clear that temperatures over the last century correlate far better with cycles in oceans than they do with carbon dioxide; and, the temperature cycles in oceans are caused by cycles of the sun.
Let the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) advocates, as well as the media, continue to ignore all of this, perpetuating fear and advocating spending billions of dollars on non-solutions. Although humans contribute to greenhouse gases, the overall effect is a tiny fraction compared to natural causes. To say humans are the cause of global warming; and to also make predictions that global warming will continue to increase is simply inaccurate. This is not to ignore the silver lining of the global warming scare, as humanity must certainly learn to participate in harmony with nature, with the breath of the Earth and with her land and oceans; and with the cycles of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars.
“Let the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) advocates, as well as the media, continue to ignore all of this, perpetuating fear and advocating spending billions of dollars on non-solutions.
P. D. Jose (1965) “Sun’s motion and sunspots”, Astron. J., 70, 193-200.
We know that global warming is accelerating and that it’s due to anthropogenic influences (mainly our emissions of greenhouse gases), not the sun. We’re well on course for over 2C of warming just from fast feedbacks alone, and that is more than enough to trigger catastrophic positive feedbacks from ice albedo and the carbon cycle, so it’s almost certainly too late now to avoid the Earth moving to a much hotter climate state, regardless of what we do now.
We will find out how many humans a Cretaceous-like climate can support. It’s probably going to be just a few hundred million.
A 40% increase in atmospheric CO2, the most important long-lived greenhouse gas, is far from ‘tiny’. That’s why it’s having such a large warming effect on the climate.
Icarus62. You are so far off this planet mate.
Cretaceous period, mate the continents had not separated then and dinosaurs ruled the world. There was massive volcanic and seismic activity, and the atmosphere wasn’t the same as it today.
as the Medieval and Roman Warm periods, and don’t put your Ugg boots away yet.
answered and carbon traders will be cryin’ into their pretzels. Saying “Oh dear we were mislead by fraudsters, and lost alll our bit of money.” Yeah.
WWF, The Greens, Michael Mann, James Hansen, and take it like a man. You have been conned.
Exactly my point. We’re heading back towards that Cretaceous atmosphere by pumping hundreds of billions of tons of global warming gases back into it. Did you know that was why it was so hot tens of millions of years ago?
All the people who think climate change isnt being caused by humans are truly in denial.
The government is too greedy to invest in any money into finding solutions and so they made up phony facts that are making people like most of you commenting here believe that scientists are dillusional, which they aren’t.
Iola, guess what, we humans aren’t that important to have any influence on climate change. Environmental degradation yes, but climate change is dictated by far more universal forces than Homo sapien sapiens. Do your research or buy a book on the Little Ice Age, eh.
Excellent reference Oliver and worth a read by all, but I doubt that many will even give it a glance because their minds are already made up. Science requires evidence but politics doesn’t.
Although humans contribute to greenhouse gases, the overall effect is a tiny fraction compared to natural causes. To say humans are the cause of global warming; and to also make predictions that global warming will continue to increase is simply inaccurate.
Finally, some rationale human beings. We have a (very) minor influence on a cycle that has been naturally occurring for millions of years. We need to separate the discussions of “Global Warming” and “Pollution”. Only one of these two topics can and should be controlled, and once that’s realized we just might have a shot at making a difference.
What proof do we have that even if the climatologists submit the truth, that government agencies do not tamper with the reports?
Who will stand to profit by scaremongering us in to believing that we are solely responsible for climate change?
Who will profit from carbon taxes?
How can carbon taxes solve the climate problem?
Which country has been dominating other countries & boasts peace while always instigating war to control major resources of our planet?
Why is global warming a bad thing, considering the history dating back 800 years, very warm! – when many people profited by growing more food?
If the sun is responsible for our seasons, causing geographic locations to be hot & others cold, then it was not for no reason that the sun was worshiped as a god of life…and still is today.? Considering the sheer size of the sun & all the different and deadly rays it expels, could it be the strongest answer to climate change, and that we are arrogant enough to believe we have more power than the sun?
Lastly: when concrete & humans were pulverized into dust on 911, and inquiries were silenced by the government controlled media, how the hell is anyone ever going to believe anything ever again without skepticism?
So long people continue to fiddle with their I-phones, slouch before the TV, engross themselves in football & video games, the powers to be (1%?) will keep us, the 99% just where they want us, disconnected & dumb?

"You give the customer what they want, when they want, and how they want it," he says.
Destino's Pizza is celebrating its fifth anniversary at 3909 Creek Road, Porter. The eatery recently added "& Pasta" to its title to signify its new Italian dishes. In addition to New York style, deep dish and old fashioned pizza, Destino's now offers spaghetti, shells, gnocchi, penne and chicken parmesan.
Destino says customer reaction to the new pasta selections has been favorable.
"It's really taken off - especially with the holidays," he says.
Destino says family packs, in particular, have taken off. Destino's offers three different sizes: 3 pounds of pasta (including four meatballs, four rolls), $15.99; 4 pounds (six and six), $21.95; and 5 pounds, (10 and 12), $27.95.

PEABODY – Ana Coutinho Patuleia Valente, RN, 90, beloved wife of Ilidio Valente, died peacefully on Monday April 15, 2019 at her son’s home, while in the comforting presence of her family.
Born in the village of Galveias, Portugal, she was the daughter of the late Jose Nunes Patuleia and Teresa (Coutinha) Patuleia. Ana moved to Peabody with her family at the age of 7. She went to the Carroll School and graduated from Peabody High School, Class of 1951. She studied Nursing at Whidden Memorial Hospital School.
After completing her training, she went to Portugal to visit family. Her cousin Marguerite introduced Ana to her Godson Ilidio Valente. Ana reported that it was love at first sight and brought Ilidio home to Peabody where they were blessed with a lifetime of memories, and celebrated their 64th Wedding Anniversary last Sunday April 14th.
Ana lived her life as a servant and loved our Lord. She was an active member of the South Congregational Church for over 80 years and was a Sunday School Teacher there for more than 50 years.
Mom always put family first behind Jesus, and considered so many people part of her family. She worked as a Nurse at J.B. Thomas Hospital for 12 years before leaving to raise her three children. Ana and Ilidio brought his parents over from Portugal as they grew older. Later Ana’s parents joined their household as Ana cared for all four parents.
Together Ana and Ilidio owned and operated Ocean View Lodge & Cottages in Dennisport. Ana enjoyed meeting people from all around the world.
In addition to her husband, Ana is survived by her sons Ilidio and his wife Dianne and Diogo “Joe” and his wife Elaine, her son-in-law Anthony Vorrias all of Peabody; her grandchildren Jessica, Robert and Amanda, Andrea, Derek, Gerry & Kirsten, Jeffrey, Rebeca & Mark, Sarah, Samantha, and Matthew; her great-grandchildren Cheyenne, Alex, Patience, Aivril, and William; her sister-in-law Jacquina Braganca of Galveias, Portugal, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased, besides her parents, by her daughter Teresa Vorrias, great-grandson Nicholas Valente, her son-in-law Gerry Spencer, her brother Rufino and his wives Phyllis and Evelyn, and her nephew Rudy.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to gather for a visitation on Thursday from 4 – 7 P.M. at the Conway, Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home, 82 Lynn St., Peabody. Her Funeral Service Celebration of her Life will be on Friday April 19, 2019 at 8:30 AM in South Congregational Church, Peabody. Interment for family and close friends at Cedar Grove Cemetery, Peabody. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to South Church General Fund, 60 Prospect St., Peabody, MA 01960 or a charity of one’s choice.

It might seem surprising to think of a pet as a role model. But when reflecting on the 10 years that I was fortunate enough to share with this Corgi, I recognized a number of character traits worth emulating.
Know what motivates you. Pursue that with passion. Like most Corgis, Jack was “highly food-motivated.” His nose was a relentless sentinel in pursuit of the next snack. A good belly rub was a close second. Key point: Reflect and understand what deep, internal drive motivates your actions. Don’t get caught in a mindless routine.
Be fully present and focused on the task in front of you. Ignore distractions. Whenever Jack was playing his favorite games or practicing his (admittedly limited) commands, nothing could break his concentration. Squirrels, cars, kids, cats, seagulls – none could elicit a wiggle of those attentive ears. Key point: in an increasingly distracted, multi-tasking world, give yourself completely to the person or work in front of you. This focus and commitment demonstrates the priority and will elicit your best level of performance.
Be patient when people get in your face. Know when to walk away. Jack was not a fighter. Sure, he would growl at dogs three times his size if they came on his turf. But he showed admirable patience with babies pulling his paws, grandmas wiping his whiskers – and when he had enough, he would trot back to his crate and find space. Key point: Control your emotions when others test your temper to avoid damaging relationships.
Speak only when you have something important to say. When you speak, leave no doubt that you were understood. We have all met people, and dogs, who whine, yip, and howl incessantly. None of these are fun to be around, and eventually we tune them out. Jack rarely barked; when he did, there was a good reason, and we listened. Key point: The most effective communicators are selective, clear, and concise.
Make the most of second chances. We adopted Jack when he was 5 years old, after his original owners got divorced and he was returned to his breeder’s kennel. We were all very fortunate to come together, and Jack became the “first, furry kid” in our family. Key point: Mistakes happen, plans fall apart. Don’t let the past hinder you from building a rewarding future.
Demonstrate consistency, integrity, and thoroughness in your actions. These traits build mutual trust and confidence. We joked that Jack was the best behaved member of the family, but in many ways, it was true. Without reciting a long list of examples, please remember that exhibiting the traits listed above will strengthen any relationship: with clients, co-workers, friends, or family.
Leave nothing but positive memories in your wake. Jack made a lot of people very happy. Even as his body failed him, his energetic personality prevailed. Many of us would be fortunate to live up to such a positive standard in our own lives.
Rest in peace Jack, you will stay with us in our hearts.

"As part of our Bold Goal work to make San Antonio 20 percent healthier by 2020, Humana was able to partner the VFW and the San Antonio Food Bank together to impact food insecurity locally. It’s partnerships like this that will help improve the health and well-being of San Antonians."
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thanks to the generous support of the San Antonio community, the “March Out Hunger” food drive collected close to 94,000 pounds of food, or more than 73,000 meals, to help combat food insecurity in our military and veterans community.
The food drive was hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. (VFW) Texas District 20; Humana, a leading health and well-being company; and the San Antonio Food Bank.
“At the San Antonio Food Bank, food donations are critical to the ongoing mission of collecting and redistributing food to individuals and families who do not know where their next meals are coming from. The veteran population has a definite need and this program is assisting our network of partners to serve 58,000 meals weekly,” said Eric Cooper, President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank.
The San Antonio Food Bank is a 501c3 non-profit organization providing millions of pounds of food to over 530 charitable organizations in Southwest Texas serving those in need. In addition to food distribution, the San Antonio Food Bank provides numerous programs that not only solve the immediate problems of hunger, but help individuals and families gain long-term food security. For more information about the San Antonio Food Bank, visit our website at www.safoodbank.org. Find us on Facebook at facebook.com/safoodbank or follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/safoodbank.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is the nation’s largest and oldest major war veterans organization. Founded in 1899, the congressionally-chartered VFW is comprised entirely of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, Guard and Reserve forces. With more than 1.6 million VFW and Auxiliary members located in nearly 6,300 Posts worldwide, the nonprofit veterans service organization is proud to proclaim “NO ONE DOES MORE FOR VETERANS” than the VFW, which is dedicated to veterans’ service, legislative advocacy, and military and community service programs.

Best park I have been to in Melbourne. Several huge park areas. A water area with sprinkler type set up that my daughter loved. Only issue which is mentioned a few times is lack of shade. Make sure to bring sunscreen and hats. Also change of clothes after the water area. So much variety and nice bbq areas available.
Great place to spend a few hours. The out in nature feel, right on the fringe of the city. Heaps for the kids to do. Sand pits, water setups, bridges, slides and swings. Hills to climb and bushy tree areas to make natures cubby houses. Public toilets on site. Nowhere to eat that I could see. Bring some spare clothes or bathers even as they will get dirty. Great spot.

Benji’s Blog sums up the emergence of the newspaper producer job!
When I started out as a journalist seven years ago, I had no idea what a developer was – columnists and editors were the rock stars of the business, the computer guys were “the IT department” who could upgrade your Photoshop or give Quark a kick when it froze.
Sadly, I’m fairly sure that the majority of journalists still think this way. It’s a real problem. But it’s also an inevitability of industrial change. Journalism is a centuries old business in which the core skills didn’t change until very, very recently – thoughts and words and layouts at the creative end, ink and presses at the production end.

A Hollywood Blanks song starts with a core idea, a melody and lyric that can stand alone and would make sense played and sung by one member. The band takes that idea and tells a story. The songs starts in one place and leaves you in a very different one, with furious dynamic shifts, bold harmonies, and sweeping textural changes along the way. It is operatic rock and roll that never quite lost it roots, yet all the while, displays a willingness to tinker with and push the antes of genre and feel. Honed in by years of live performances, Hollywood Blanks shows are highly theatrical, with each band member playing the part not just on their instruments, but also with a unique personality from song to song.

Kashmir is known for its scenic beauty and a historic culture. It has been a place where countless philosophers, poets and writers have emerged throughout its existence. The people of the valley have been known for their fertile imagination. Hence it hasn’t just carried the vivid philosophical legacy but has also been a home to humour and rumour. These two things come together, a mass hysteria emerges followed by laughter and reflection.
A few months ago, the people had to deal with a rumour that had us all out of lights. Someone had his ‘light bulb’ lit in his head that said that the latest government subsidised LED bulbs had a hidden camera embedded that spied on the people. The rumour within no time spread like a wild-fire and all the people joined in the hysteria. Until a few engineering graduates posted with illustrations on Facebook that it was not true, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
In my grandmother’s childhood who is in her sixties, there was a panic among women that they will be divorced due to the families’ political ideologies. It was a time when the supporters of Sheikh Abdullah were battling the supporters of Mirwaiz Maulvi Farooq for the bigger political and social standings among the people.
Now when this rumour spread and had found shelter in my grandmother’s home. She recalls that her sister-in-law started crying and running towards her husband, asking if he was to divorce her. After being clarified, she found peace. Now they are married for more than sixty years.
Another rumour that had floated during her time was that the Pakistani government had poisoned the Jhelum. The people took the rumour as gospel’s truth, stopping to drink from their tap water. Hoping that death will not visit their homes through the water pipes.
Along with the political rumours, there have been many related to religious superstition. Many decades ago, some people claimed that in a particular area of Fateh Kadal, a fountain of milk had erupted. People amazed after hearing about the unique phenomenon rushed to the place along with their glasses to collect some.
One rumour even had people believe that if you keep a copper utensil closed and covered for a few days. A piece of bread will emerge from the utensil, and one has to share it with everyone. Now imagine how happy the people would have been for a sacred loaf of bread and milk, that too straight from God.
My grandmother also tells me about the time in the 1980s when someone started a rumour that Srinagar was going to be aerially bombed. Asking people to pack their beddings and rush towards Eidgah, to spend the night there. Some people believed in the rumour, went to Eidgah and slept the night there.
From fountains of milk to collecting a bowl of rice for sons, from the falling satellites to the falling of roads. People have believed in these rumours and then lived to laugh at the tales. Things like these have been part of Kashmir’s cultural history.
And they will keep on experiencing more such rumours to all that are to come.
Here’s a challenge, ask your grandparents or the elders in your family to talk of a rumour that they have experienced. Share it in the comments section and let’s see what all we have experienced.

An adventure motorcyclist requires certain tools to aid them in exploring the world by trail and lonesome highway. One such tool is a paper map. We’ve all done it: let the GPS run out of battery, accidentally forgot to load our tracks or lost service on our cell phones. Surveying your route on a tiny GPS screen can be a challenge as well. When our electronics fail us, we turn to our paper maps. And we try to do it quickly! Pulling out a paper map, stuffed into whatever crevice we deemed “accessible,” isn’t always as painless or swift as we had hoped.
The BarPack Mapcase is a thin handlebar mounted map holder that removes the stress of searching for your map. It also keeps paper maps protected from the elements and tearing. It’s far less bulky than the typical tank bag-map case combination that can get in your way while riding off-road, and it has enough room inside for a pen, notepad or cell phone.

The Three Rooms represent where our thoughts are, and therefore, where our attention resides.
One of the most common places our thoughts go is the past. We think of events that have already happened and relive the feelings we experienced at that time and place. Past experiences can remind us of what we perceive other people to have done to us, and often these thoughts produce unpleasant emotions. To make matters worse, rather than recognizing that they make us feel bad, we tend to dwell on those thoughts, which further perpetuates the negative emotions they generate. “Learning” from the past maybe a necessary endeavor, but continuing to relive emotions that make us feel bad is not useful.
Our physical bodies may not be able to jump ahead in time, but we have no problem thinking way ahead about what might happen in the future. We create different scenarios for how our experience in the physical world may unfold. Usually, we come up with worst-case scenarios, which are not pretty. This is not the same as planning for the future, in which we envision positive outcomes in our lives. Instead, our thoughts often run ahead into the future and focus on all the things that could go wrong in the world. These thoughts do not make us feel good.
Our thoughts can go backward in the linear concept of time (the Past Room) or they can go forward (the Future Room). But what if they don’t go in either direction? The only other place our thoughts can be is right here in the present. When our thoughts are in the present, we can’t relive negative emotions from the past or feel anxious about how we think our life may unfold in the future. When we are in the present moment, we experience no thoughts based on our perception of time and space, because we are focused on only one point in time: now. In this moment, and only in this moment, we are aligned with the vibrational frequency of our Source. This is Divine consciousness. In this room, we feel love.

Marie of Stahlbaum is inching closer to marriage with the Rat King, until her friend Drosselmeyer realizes it’s time to help her and fix his century old mistake.
Prince Cristian Dietrich was cursed to remain a doll for the rest of his life instead of facing death with the rest of his family. If Marie agrees to help break Cristian’s curse, she can free herself from an unwanted marriage. But nothing is ever as easy as it seems, and too often the price is greater than first believed.
The 1816 story by ETA Hoffman, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” serves as the basis for this LGBTQIA adaptation. Since I peeked at the Less Than Three website, I knew ahead of time that there would be a trans character but I resisted discovering who it was until I read the story.
Marie and her older brother Fritz were both rescued and trapped by the Rat King after the death of their parents. Now the King has decreed that Marie become his bride. Her old friend Drosslemeyer might have an out for her but it involves helping another who has been imprisoned by the King but in the form of a living nutcracker doll.
Prince Cristian Dietrich has paid the price for his decision a century ago not to give in to a fate he couldn’t endure. A war ensued, one which wrecked havoc on his homeland, caused the death of a dear friend and his family as well as leading to the Rat King and the Sugar Plum Fairy’s war which has drained the world of magic.
To break the curse and set right old wrongs will require Marie and Cristian to look deep into their hearts and battle not just one but two powerful people, plus some horrific animal minions.

Jessica Hunt was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, where she presently resides. She received her MFA in 2018 from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and currently teaches sculpture at John Burroughs School. She has shown in several regional midwestern galleries including the Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, Mildred M. Cox Gallery, and the Praxis Gallery. She placed first for her public sculpture, "Bound," from artist and juror David Deming. Most recently, she received the Wend Petit Gay Memorial Scholarship.
The lens through which I make my art that has been ruled between a rigid dichotomy of my mother and father—the emotional and the impassive, the intimate and the reserved. Intimacy is the common denominator of my work, whether the objects were arranged as such, inherently built in, or coldly withdrawn—the idea is always present.
I share my emotional thoughts and feelings without much hesitation and I absorb other’s just the same. I am highly sensitive to the interactions and connections I make with friends, family, strangers, and people in general. My sculptural practice begins by contemplating this collection of subjective experiences and feelings, as well as a dissection of my own. I often work intuitively, transforming personal experiences into ambiguous objects and making them public, so they can be reexamined and more relatable to the viewer.
Most of my work deals with the interpersonal relationships we create and maintain with others and ourselves, which means I have a tendency to work in multiples. Centering on themes of love and family, the work explores our desire to be vulnerable and non-sexually voyeuristic. Visually and conceptually, the work falls somewhere on the spectrum of consciously ambiguous to highly personalized.
In their sculptural form, the seemingly soft and plush forms almost always relate to the body in some way. The internal body plays a metaphorical role in my aesthetic, one that symbolizes the way we consume, digest, and release our feelings and emotions. The forms often wear various “skins” that touch on the idea of growth and experience. At times, the object is the skin itself—shed and preserved from another form.
The objects range from representational figures to abstract bulbous forms to soft internal sculptures that feel familiar, yet are at the same time unrecognizable. I create forms that simultaneously feel sexual and asexual, humorous and sobering, comforting and grotesque. They are arranged, and perhaps later rearranged, to give a different and ever-shifting understanding of their dynamic dependent on the viewer’s subjectivity. When I make I find I project myself, or others I know, onto the work. My goal is for the viewer to do the same.

It is 7:15 on Tuesday evening and I'm going to take the next 10 minutes to write about how the last few days have been.
I was thinking that last year, I topped my highest number of posts and this year I would like to match or beat it. That means I need to write a post every two or three days. That seems like a lot and at times, I wonder if people even care. Then I think, this blog is about my journey and if what I write doesn't interest someone, they don't have to read it.
I blog a lot about Sarah. The Blogger website is not based out of my computer so if something ever happened to my laptop, then all my notes and information that I've noted will still be safe. I love looking back at the ways she's grown and changed over the years and how far she's come. Along with that, is how far I have come as well. I am confident in advocating for her and I am continuously learning new things about her.
I also blog about my other kids, school, birthdays and other events and milestones. I love to share about my family and I guess this is my way of journalling. It's interesting how the words flow when I have a laptop in front of me as opposed to pen and paper. My mind seems to flow quickly and my thoughts are easily formed.
Here's to a New Year of blogging, and thanks for joining in this journey with me.

There are reports that malware known as Conficker has been found on police body cameras supplied by Martel Electronics. When the cameras were connected to computers, Conficker immediately tried to infect the machines. Once it had infected a machine, it tried to spread to other machines on the same network. Conficker was first detected n late 2008.
Earlier this month, Paris's Orly Airport shut down temporarily, unable to operate in foggy weather after a system running the Windows 3.1 operating system failed. The system, known as DECOR, provides pilots with Runway Visual Range (RVR) data; when visibility is poor, the information communicated by DECOR is essential. The secretary general of France's UNSA-IESSA air traffic controller union noted that they there are "only three specialists who can deal with DECOR-related issues."
FireEye has identified an attack that uses injected profiling and tracking scripts on websites frequented by business executives, diplomats, government officials, and academic researchers to gather information. The injected scripts do not carry a malicious payload, but they could help potential attackers identify targets and their software configurations. FireEye has dubbed the profiling script WITCHCOVEN.
One of the patches Microsoft released last week fixes a flaw that could have been exploited to bypass the companys BitLocker disk encryption tool. BitLocker is a "baked" in feature of Windows Vista and later operating systems.
T-Mobile has fixed a vulnerability in the MetroPCS payment website that could have exposed customer account information. By using a Firefox plug-in to send an HTML request to the MetroPCS site with the target number, attackers could have accessed names, addresses, and phone model and serial numbers associated with the accounts. MetroPCS offers pre-paid wireless service is and a subsidiary of T-Mobile.
A flaw in the Android Gmail app flaw could be exploited to spoof email. If a user changes their display name in the account settings using an extra quotation mark, a parsing flaw in the app renders the user's real name invisible. Google does not consider the issue to be a security flaw.
Gmail will start notifying users when email in their inbox was sent over an unencrypted connection. The change will be rolled out over the next several months. Google hopes the practice will encourage the use of encryption and strong authentication.
A UK man has been given an eight-month prison sentence for launching more than 300 distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) in 2013. Ian Sullivan launched attacks against government sites, British Airways, and several banks.
High-frequency sounds are being used to track people's behavior across multiple devices. The sounds, which are inaudible to humans, are embedded in television commercials and online advertisements. Tablets and smartphones detect the sounds. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) held a Cross-Device Tracking workshop on Monday, November 16, to address the issue.
Congress has directed the US Cyber Command to conduct simulated cyber war games against Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The 2016 National Defense Authorization Act says the Joint Chiefs of Staff will conduct the exercises to assess the strategy, "assumptions, and capabilities of the US Cyber Command to carry out simulated war games."
In an effort to improve email security, the Pentagon will begin rendering links that arrive in email to .mil addresses unclickable. The policy aims to reduce the efficacy of phishing attacks. The change has already been rolled out to most of the .mil domain.

Quirks Of The Dual Camera Technologies Today!
Home / news / smartphones / tutorials / Quirks Of The Dual Camera Technologies Today!
Smartphones with dual cameras setups are the new big thing in the world of mobile photography today. In contrary to what some believe, this feature is not gimmicky because its designed to address the limitation of having a small camera sensor on smartphones.
As a result, the top mobile brands in the world are venturing into this type of setup today. However, they have different strengths and implementations. In particular, there are 3 main dual camera setup right now. The one found with Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, Huawei P9 / P9 Plus, and LG G5 / V20.
The setup of Apple iPhone 7 Plus consist of two 12 MP lenses. One of them is a bright type of 12 MP f/1.8 sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) and another 12 MP sensor that boast the "telephoto" lens for up to 2x optical zoom and wide angle.
Related: Huawei P9 Plus Vs Apple iPhone 7 Plus - Main Camera Photography Comparison!
Basically, what this setup can do is the portrait mode for creating "DSLR" like bokeh / blur and create up to 2x lossless zoom.
On the other hand, Huawei's P9 and P9 Plus is equipped with a 12 MP monochrome sensor for black and white shots. It's other sensor is a 12 MP RGB sensor that's responsible of taking color shots. Combine them together and they'll take brighter and more detailed images.
It also has a "wide aperture" mode that allows you to adjust the f stops from f/0.95 to f/16 of your subject via software even after taking the still. As a result, it has a DSLR-like bokeh w/ super shallow depth of field. Then it has a monochrome mode that takes the truest black and white shots.
All of that is on top of its intensive camera software with tons of effects, full manual controls, and RAW image support.
Last of the popular dual camera implementations came from LG Electronics with their LG G5 and V20. It has a main 16 MP f/1.8 camera w/ Hybrid AF and OIS for taking regular sharp images. Then it has a secondary 8 MP f/2.4 sensor w/ 135 degrees wide angle lens.
Basically, you'll get two modes. The normal mode for regular portrait shots and the wide angle mode with Go Pro like results that's perfect for outdoor shots.
Overall, just choose the best for your preference. All of them are great in their own way and purpose.
This is just a glimpse of the future!

Long ago, when I was starting out, I read one of those awful WRITER'S DIGEST psych-you-up things (late '76) stating that F. Scott Fitzgerald had collected 122 rejection slips before selling a story. I stopped counting at 125.
All of which proves that I'm persistent. Whether I can write is a horse of a different color. You be "The Judge"
The stories below, with the sole exception of "Prologue: Lawrence, Kansas" qualify as "short-shorts" You can certainly read them all in one sitting, although it's not advised.
Of course, this being a fantasy, some perceptive folk get the idea that I write sword and dragon stuff. I don't.
What do we ever really know about someone?

A special type of Electrode, Precious Metal (PM) - coated Electrodes, are used with light-colored ED paints. The coating PME, is a precious metal oxide, applied over a titanium substrate.
Remove rings and wear clean cotton gloves.
Remove the red mesh by turning it back upon itself and taking it off from the opposite end. Do not use scissors to cut the mesh off.
Remove the plastic sleeve in the same manner. Do not use scissors as it can damage the coatings.
If your system uses Low Profile ME Cells, skip to step #7. Remove the supply tubing by gently pulling on the end with the yellow tape.
Place the Electrode into the Membrane Shell that is either in the ED bath or waiting to be installed. Add D.I. water so that the Electrode is weighted down and will stay fully seated.
Attach the Cable Lead Pigtail to the upper hole in the Electrode Tab by first placing a screwdriver through the lower hole in the Electrode Tab. Remove the screwdriver when finished.
Refer to Bulleting #990122 or the original manual that came with the TECTRON™ Low Profile Cells.
Important Note: The opening pH range for PME is 2 to 7. These Electrodes should not be used as cathodes.

With home improvement being a big business around the world, homeowners are renovating regularly to improve their home's value. While periodic renovations do improve overall value, a glass balustrade will go the extra mile to further add value. From balconies to patios to pool-sides and stairways, these balustrades add sophistication and elegance to your home. With variations in glass and plain or patterned glass to choose from, there is no limit to creativity.
When glass is used as a balustrade, it is known as structural glass. These balustrades do more than just make your house look attractive – they also define limitations and hold the rest of your balustrade together. You can choose from different types of glass balustrades, such as those that feature metal, wood or glass for a more modern appearance. Since glass takes on the theme of the room, it works perfectly well for sophisticated or even rustic homes.
When you think of glass, the first thing that may probably come to your mind is that of its shattering. Therefore, the concept of using a glass balustrade for your house may seem a bit hard to accept. But these balustrades are secure, sustainable and durable. High quality glass that is fitted well is a sensible option for your indoor or outdoor stairways and is perfectly safe. When used indoors, they create the illusion of extra space and help let natural light flow through your room. They work beautifully with bespoke stairways or wooden stairways and blend perfectly with any indoor theme.
Glass balustrades are not just cost-effective, but are weather proof as well. When used as fencing around a pool, you’re adding to its security while being able to see what is happening in and around the pool. It is flexible, practical and blends beautifully with your surroundings. This stands true for outdoor spaces such as porches too. Since glass is increasingly more resistant to weather conditions and to heat, using glass for porch balustrades lets you take your outdoor space to a whole new level. Complement them with solid stainless steel or wood for added durability and lean on them in confidence when you’re relaxing with friends or family.
Modern times have seen the introduction of etched glass balustrade to increase a home’s overall aesthetic appeal. It is perfect for indoors as it gives you the benefit of art within your home, along with the durability of structural glass. The malleable elegance of glass and the virtually unending customizations that are possible with it make it a perfect candidate to enhance your home’s attractiveness.
When used indoors, glass balustrades need little maintenance to keep them dust free and as good as ever. But for outdoors they require regular maintenance to keep them looking good. Pool-side glass, needs proper care to keep it free of water marks. Despite the maintenance, though, choosing glass as an option for your balustrades is smart and can work well.
In summary, glass balustrades are ideal for any home – old or new. Irrespective of whether you’re remodeling to hike your home’s value or simply love your home and want to make it look attractive, using glass for your balustrades, both indoor and outdoor, can enhance its visual and functional appeal. Use plain glass with wood or steel for a contemporary finish, or choose etched glass for your indoors for a touch of art within your home. They go well with any theme, and enhance a home’s market value.
