Five formerly declared plants, including onion weed (Asphodelus fistulosus), have been removed from the declaration because legislative backing is no longer needed for regional control activities, while the state policies on twenty-two other declared plants such as salvation jane (Echium plantagineum) have been updated. “An important change is the declaration of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris), an introduced grass that has invaded the semi-arid rangelands and is encroaching southwards,” Mr Hunter said. “Buffel grass is known as a transformer weed in rangelands as it can change the character of the vegetation over wide areas.
Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Region – ornamental fountain grass • (Pennisetum setaceum), silverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium), swamp oak (Quercus bicolor), arum lily, sweet pittosporum and gazania.
Alinytjara Wilurara NRM Region – buffel grass, african rue (Peganum harmala) and carrion flower (Stapelia variegata).
Eyre Peninsula NRM Region – carrion flower, lincoln weed (Diplotaxis tenuifolia), silverleaf nightshade, bifora (Bifora testiculata), fountain grass and buffel grass.
Kangaroo Island NRM Region – bluebell creeper (Billardiera heterophylla), lincoln weed, silverleaf nightshade and italian buckthorn (Rhamnus alaternus).
Northern and Yorke NRM Region – nightstock (Matthiola longipetala ssp. bicornis), lincoln weed and buffel grass.
South Australian Arid Lands NRM Region – african ruie, buffel • grass and carrion flower.
South Australian Murray Darling Basin NRM Region – gaza• nia, nightstock, silverleaf nightshade, buffel grass and white weeping brooms (Retama raetam).
South East NRM Region – apple of sodom (Solanum linnaeanum), lincoln weed, spiny rush (Juncus acutus ssp. acutus), gazania and white weeping brooms.
The full gazette list of declared plants and various summary documents and information resources can be found at: http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/biosecurity/weeds_and_pest_animals/plant_pests_in_south_australia.

From auto parts to vitamins, the Internet can connect you with a business that sells what you’re looking for. Most companies make their products available online. Whether you buy something new or used, anything can be purchased at a discount. The tips that follow can help you find the very best online bargains.
Find coupon codes when you shop online. A variety of discounts are available to you today. Use a major search engine, and put in your store’s name and the word “coupon” to find deals. That helps you save a ton of money.
Make sure that your antivirus is updated before any online fashion shopping. There are lots of suspicious websites to avoid when shopping online. Some folks make websites specifically for the purpose of infecting computers. Be cautious when using any website for shopping, whether you think they are safe or not.
Find the sizing charts on clothing sites. Shopping for clothes “sight unseen” can leave you with pieces that might not fit you right. Thankfully, sizing charts will help. Always use these charts to ensure you do not have to return an item.
If you have a favorite online retailer that you usually purchase from, then you should subscribe to them. This can save you time during the checkout process, and it can provide you with money-saving options. Signing up to emails through them could inform you of deals before people who are not registered know about them. You can also return items easier and track your orders if you have an account.
You can use online retailers who offer live chat. With these options, you can ask questions and get answers in real time. You might also have the ability to ask for discounts or breaks on shipping. Some are definitely glad to offer you these perks because you’re placing an order.
Never pay full price at an online retailer! Retailers have an established schedule for when specific items are offered for sale. If you are able to wait for the sale, it is possible save upwards of thirty percent or more. If you’re able to wait a while, you may end up saving quite a bit of cash.
Review sites such as Coupons.com prior to making any shopping decisions. There are often substantial savings to be found, if you know where to look. The trick is to peruse the site before you set foot in a store, virtual or otherwise.
Only purchase online from companies located in the your own country. When purchasing from companies based in the United States, you’re protected by both federal and state regulations. Getting your money back might not be possible if you get scammed by a seller located abroad.
Sign up to receive newsletters from your preferred online retailers. If you shop often, getting such newsletters will let you in on inside information about sales and new products. They can help you get first choice of new items and specials on limited items and closeouts, which can mean considerable savings to you.
Regardless of how you like to shop, research is the key to getting what you need and want. The more you know, the more you will benefit. Read similar articles to this one to learn new approaches to online fashion shopping that you wouldn’t otherwise hear about.

We have three goals for you during the camp. First, we want you to have fun. Second, we want you to learn good football fundamentals. Third, we want you to learn unselfishness as a member of a team. To achieve these goals, we will focus on learning how to pass, catch, kick, and run with the football.
Also, we will learn the proper techniques of blocking and tackling as well as the basics of good conditioning. We will have competitions during the late morning. Campers will be able to participate in flag football, punt-pass-kick competitions, and other football-related games.
McCallie Football Camp, Sessions 1 & 2 will teach the fundamentals and techniques of the game and emphasize teamwork and sportsmanship. Sessions 1 & 2 are non-padded, lower impact camps. The camp will be directed by Head Football Coach Ralph Potter, assisted by varsity coaches and current players. The camp will emphasize fundamental techniques and skill development drills for every position. Competitions such as 1-on-1, and punt, pass, and kick will also be held. There will be a time each day for scrimmages and touch football games.
In Session 3, the McCallie padded football camp will give young players a chance to prepare for their youth league season or to get a taste of real contact football. Head Coach Ralph Potter and the varsity McCallie staff along with current players will present the proper fundamentals of padded football. Blocking and tackling are the fundamental skills that must be mastered to ensure not only success but safety. Our goal will be to give each young man confidence in himself as he enters the season. In addition to blocking and tackling, other fundamental skills will be taught.
If pads are needed from McCallie, please call the Summer Program Office (493-5886) before camp begins.
A camp T-shirt, early drop-off, an after-camp swim, and secondary insurance coverage are included for both sessions at no extra cost.
Please drop off your camper at the Varsity Football Stadium, home of the McCallie Blue Tornado. The Camp Director, Ralph Potter, Head Football Coach, will be there as early as 8:00 am for early drop off. The actual camp hours will be from 9:00 am until noon, optional swimming from noon to 12:30 pm (lunch is not served).
For Session 1 and 2 you will not need any equipment unless you want to bring your own football cleats. Make sure to wear appropriate clothing–shorts and t-shirt will be fine. Also, you need to bring a towel and a swimsuit every day if you plan to swim.
McCallie Football Camp will be directed by McCallie’s head varsity football coach Ralph Potter. Coach Ralph Potter is a 1981 graduate of McCallie. He was an All State quarterback/defensive back and the recipient of the Scrappy Moore Athlete of the Year in 1981. While starting at quarterback for UT-Chattanooga from 1982-84, Potter was named Academic All Conference. He has been a head coach for 18 years, at Baylor (1994-96), McCallie (1997-2006), Brentwood Academy (2007-2011) and McCallie (2012 – present). Coach Potter has compiled a 161-86 overall record. His undefeated 2001 McCallie team won the only state championship in school history, and his 2006, 2007 and 2008 teams were state finalists.

Today I want us to focus on “How we should relate to one another” in our congregation.
For these reasons and more to be a Christian means to be a part of the church. It means to be plugged into and active in a local congregation.
But it is also true that being in community with one another can be challenging. Misunderstandings, different personalities and points of view can lead to conflict and pain. But God uses this. This is a part of God’s purpose for having us be together, and not just off all by ourselves serving God independently. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Our interactions with each other are meant to make us better.
God puts us together, as different as we are to stretch us and to teach us what love is really all about. And you can’t learn this unless you are in relationships with others. And I dare say in relationship with people who are different than you are. And like all love, this can be painful.
The problem is that when we experience relationship difficulties we too often respond in inappropriate ways, which compounds the situation. We do what comes naturally to us – in our human weakness and self-centeredness. Things like gossip, slander, always thinking we are right, always wanting our way, holding on to resentments and negative attitudes, being mean, being cliquish, being impatient, being hard-hearted. The list could go on and on.
We have all seen or experienced or even practiced these kinds of things. (It’s amazing what can happen in churches.) And because of this and the pain it brings, many draw back and don’t want to be a part. And thus God’s purpose is defeated.
And so we need to be reminded, not of what comes naturally to us in the flesh; we need to be reminded of what comes supernaturally to us by the Word of God and the Spirit of God working in our hearts – to care for each other in our relationships with one another.
I have arranged them into several categories. As we go through these I want you to think about how these might apply to you, and how you relate to others in our fellowship. Where might God be challenging you this morning? Who might you need to make things right with?
Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” – John 13:34. Love means acting for the well-being of another. And in this verse Jesus gives us himself as an example. We are to love one another just as Jesus loved us. That is, we are to lay down our lives for one another. We are to sacrifice for the good of one another.
Do we love one another? It’s not about just words or feeling, but about how we treat one another.
“Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you.” – Romans 15:7. The context here is that of Jews and Gentiles getting along in the church at Rome. Although from very different backgrounds they are to accept each other as fellow believers.
Closely related to this is “Show hospitality to one another.” – 1 Peter 4:9. Hospitality means to be warm and friendly, to make room for someone, to include that person, even if they are different.
Do we welcome one another? Are we warm and friendly with one another?
Jesus said, “Be at peace with one another.” – Mark 9:50. The context here is in part that Jesus’ disciples were arguing with each other about who was the greatest. Not only does he tell them that to be great you must be the servant of all, he tells them to be at peace with one another.
Other verses that speak to this: “Live in harmony with one another.” – Romans 12:16. “Be at peace *with each other.”– 1 Thessalonians 5:13 (own translation).
Are we living in peace with one another? Do we work through our disagreements and conflicts? Being at peace doesn’t mean pretending that we get along. It means working through things with love and respect for one another, so that our relationships are whole and life-giving.
A similar verse applies this to using our spiritual gifts to serve each other – “As each has received a gift, use it to serve *one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10.
“. . . with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love . . ..” – Ephesians 4:2. This means to put up with, to tolerate or to endure. If you are married you know that even those couples that love each other the most still have to do this in areas. Here it has to do with the weaknesses in another believer or the things they say and do that might rub you the wrong way.
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted.” – Ephesians 4:32. That is, don’t be hard hearted, but rather mild, generous or considerate.
Our previous verse goes on to say, “. . . forgiving *one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32. When someone has wronged you, choose to love them, and seek to work through it, and when they make things right, restore the relationship.
Peter says, “Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another.” – 1 Peter 5:5.
A specific example of this comes from Paul, “Outdo one another in showing honor.” – Romans 12:10. Lift up your brother and sisters in the Lord. It’s like a competition, not for praise, but to give honor and praise to others.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing *one another in all wisdom.” – Colossians 3:16. We are to share with one another of what God has taught us. To admonish is to teach in a way that warns and corrects.
Along these lines the writer of Hebrews says, “But exhort *one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’ that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” – Hebrews 3:13.
James says, “Pray for one another.” – James 5:16. We are to care for each other by lifting lift up each other’s concerns before the Lord that he might give grace and help in their time of need.
Do you pray for others among us during the week?
Our previous verse in its entirety says, “Confess your sins to one another pray for one another, that you may be healed.” – James 5:16. Certainly this means that we confess our sins to the one we have wronged. And it could, when appropriate, mean confessing our sins more broadly than this. This all requires vulnerability before others and honesty.
And then we pray for healing for the person from any discipline the Lord may have allowed them to go through, because of their sin. Once the sin is dealt with, the discipline can be lifted.
Paul says, “Always seek to do good to one another.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:15. He says just before this that we are certainly not to repay evil for evil, or harm for harm to one another. You know, “I’m going to get them back!” Rather we are always to do good to each other.
Paul says, “Encourage one another and build one another up.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11. To encourage means to instill someone with courage; to cheer them up, to comfort them. Close in meaning to this is the word “build up,” which means to strengthen or to make more able.
Similarly, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” – Hebrews 10:24. The idea is that we can become complacent or lazy and so we are to act to get each other focused and moving forward.
How are you doing? Do you need to make some changes?
Let the power of God’s Word work in your heart and mind to show you the way. And ask the Spirit to come in power to change your heart in any way that might be needed, so that our relationships with each other will be strong and pleasing to God in every way. And so that we can work here together in unity to do God’s work.
May our relationships be so full of Christian love that people can sense it when they come in to worship with us. May God make this so.
Well, in the same way, a good part of my job in standing up here Sunday after Sunday is not to teach you new things, but to remind you of what you already know and to encourage you and to stir you up to do what you already know. Can you imagine what the church worldwide would be like if we all did what we already know! If you want revival, if you want spiritual renewal this is the place to start. Put into practice what you already know – the Spirit is waiting for us to get on board.
We see from this passage that love acts for the good of another. God acted “so that we might live.” God acted, not to tear down or harm us, but to help and bless us; to give us life. We also learn that love does this even at great cost. These verses tell us that God “sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice” for us; his “only Son” – v. 9. God sacrificed for us. He gave up what was most precious to him. It cost him. And finally, love takes the initiative. God didn’t wait for us to love him first. That wasn’t going to happen. Despite our lack of love for him, “God sent his Son” – v. 9, v. 10.
And we are to emulate this love that God displays toward us in our love for one another. As v. 11 says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” We also are to act for the good of one another – not to tear down or harm each other, but to build each other up and to pour life into each other. We also are to love each other sacrificially, and not hold back when it requires our time, our patience and our commitment. And we also are to take the initiative to love even if our brother and sister doesn’t seem to love us. To cross boundaries and to reach out to them. We are to love other just as God has loved us.
Not because we don’t have love, we do. I see it in how we care for each other in difficult times. And I see it in how so many give of their time and talents to serve so that our congregation works and even thrives. I encourage you this morning, because we all need to grow in our love. And perhaps, if any have set love aside so that your heart is cold and hard towards another, I encourage you to allow God to come in and give you a new heart full of love for one another; a heart that is warm; a heart that is soft and sensitive.
Let us love one another when we have disagreements or fail each other. This means going to the person we have a problem with, as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 18:15. Now judging by our practice this is not a popular teaching, because hardly anyone practices it. But it is still God’s will and his servants choose to follow him. “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone.” And we are to do this not to blast the other person, but to work things out and be reconciled; the goal is restored relationships.
This means not going to other people instead, in order to slander or gossip or tear each other down. Rather as Paul says in Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Do your words give grace?
This is what love means when we have disagreements and fail each other.
Let us love one another in bearing with each other. We all have weaknesses, personality traits that can rub someone the wrong way, differences of opinion and so forth. And these can all lead us away from each other. Love, however, binds us together despite our differences. Paul says in Colossians 3:14, “And above all . . . put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” And remember 1 Corinthians 13:4, 7 – “Love is patient and kind . . . Love bears all things.” Love puts up with a lot because we care about each other and want the best for each other.
This is what love means in the midst of our differences.
Let us love one another by welcoming each other. Paul says in Romans 15:7, “Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you . . ..” Paul says this to Jews and Gentiles, two groups that were very different and had a history of animosity and hatred in many cases. In the same way, whatever different groups we come from or different backgrounds we have – Christ has welcomed us all to come to him. And if he has done this for us, we are to do it for each other – even if they are from a different race or are poor or rich, or are rural or urban, or if their politics are different. Just as Christ has welcomed us so we are to welcome them and embrace them as brothers and sisters in the Lord.
This is what love means when we come from different backgrounds and different places in life.
Live a faithful Christian life. Let your light shine so that others can see God’s work in your life and give glory to God.
Share what God has done for you. Look for ways to share your story and how God has blessed you. Not just when you first became a Christian but also what God is doing in your life today.
Pray for the lost. Ask God to put specific people on your heart that you can regularly pray for.
Pray for outreach workers,that God will raise people up to minister to the lost, even from our congregation.
Support those that are called to reach out. Give financially so they can fulfill their calling and encourage and pray for them.
Now this comes to us in part as a complaint from his critics, but it is true. Jesus was around the lost, and while he was with them in genuine relationship with them, he engaged them with the gospel. It says, they wanted to hear him. Are you open to this? The lost are all around us, but are you open to being in relationship? It’s easier to just hang out with fellow believers. But as Jesus said, “those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick” (Matthew 9:12).
In my former church we began a ministry to the homeless in our area. And I met tons of people, both Christian and non-Christian. And we would eat together and get to know each other and talk about needs and spiritual things. And my family and I formed relationships with some that last to this day.
But you don’t have to do this. Just be open to whoever God brings across your path. And even take the initiative.
Paul says in Colossians 4:5, “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” (NIV) This verse obviously applies very broadly. But it certainly applies to the point that one of the easiest ways to share your faith is by inviting people to church. This isn’t the end goal, of course, but it can lead to the goal of someone discovering new life in Jesus.This is using wisdom to take advantage of opportunities in relation to outsiders.
Come to VBS follow-up and meet the families of the children.
Come to events like our recent block party and invite others to come.
Come to our upcoming Christmas activities – wreath making, Christmas caroling, and invite others.
*Think for a moment, who might you invite? Maybe it’s the same person or persons whom God has put on your heart to pray for.
Did you know that 66% of the people that come to church come because a friend has invited them or brought them along with them. This is by far the highest percentage. For instance only 8% come from a pastor’s efforts; only ¼% from evangelistic crusades.
Along these same lines . . .
The writer of the book of Hebrews tells the church he addresses in chapter 13:2, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers.” We are to be loving, warm and welcoming to every single person who comes to our church, whatever their background might be.
Now we have a hospitality ministry team that works at this and I am grateful for them, but everyone needs to be involved.
According to the experts a person decides if they like a church and will come back within their first 11 minutes. So take the initiative, get to know people, learn their names, find out some things about them, connect them with other people in the congregation, invite them over for dinner.
*Are there people here today, or maybe who have been coming for a while that you still don’t know their names? This is something to work on so that we can be a more hospitable congregation.
Jesus said in John 12:24 – “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” He is talking about laying down his life for others on the cross. And when he did this it bore much fruit in that so many have come to salvation based on seeing the love of Jesus on the cross for them.
And we are to take up our cross and serve others. Give of your time, your talents to serve and bless others. Lay down your lives to help others. And when we do this it too will bear much fruit. People respond when they see such love.
*Some of you have been working at this and I am so thankful. But we still have opportunities to serve here in SW Chambersburg. Denise has put together some action cards, some of which have to do with serving and others with sharing. You can look at these after the service. What might God lead you to do?
It’s not common to see real love for others – especially beyond family or friends. But we are to love each other deeply from the heart. We are to give our lives for each other by ministering to each other’s needs, sacrificing for each other, encouraging each other, and forgiving each other.
This kind of love is supernatural. It is fruit of the Spirit of God working in our hearts. I would like for us to be a congregation that is known for our deep love for one another; so that when people come they sense it and know that God is at work. And will be drawn themselves to be a follower of Jesus.
* In your bulletin you have the handout: 21 Traits of Love – A Test. Most of you have seen it before, but look it over again. Take it home with you and see how you are doing loving others – especially your brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Description: Eric Northman seemed an innocent sort, coming to learn the tricks of the shipping trade. He lived off charm alone, weaselling his way aboard Jason Stackhouse’s boat, into his Gran’s home for room and board, and then ultimately his sister’s bed. A storm at sea ripped apart a brightly painted future for the young lovers with only part of the crew returning, Eric assumed lost at sea forever. Despite the adversity, Sookie manages to rebuild her life, embarking on a different path until suddenly he returns and her life is once more turned upside down.
She hung up without uttering another word, too frightened to hope or believe the words her brother had spoken. It had been years, long years, since she first met Eric. Lanky and tall, he moved that ill-fitting body clumsily around the docks looking for work and managed his way onto Jason’ boat. He was specific in his search though, and that should have been the first clue that there something was off about Eric Northman. For he both knew too little and too much at the same time, and he was exceptionally bright in a useless sort of way. Boys, never mind men, like that never came begging for work in the Louisiana fishing industry. He had a bit of muscle, but they were obviously honed by the equipment of a gym, not like everybody else, by the force of labour and hard living.
Every couple of years his name would surface again, he’d made an impression despite his brief appearance, not so much for the time spent in their small fishing community, but in the aftermath. No one had looked for Eric Northman. That last name really should have tipped them all off that he wasn’t who he said he was. No Swede would have such a name, but he was charming and that was, after all, his saving grace that opened otherwise closed doors. He charmed his way onto Jason Stackhouse’s boat, into a guest room in Adele Stackhouse’s home, and ultimately, into Sookie’s bed the night before they set off on that disastrous voyage.
“Of course,” she smiled, though her heart wasn’t in it the way it usually was. She purposely kept her spirits high during moments like these, dreading the goodbye.
She didn’t give Eric much thought after the phone call, rather, the name followed her to work. Jason’s entire crew had apparently spread the word quite quickly, despite their long distance from home. The promised reward was much needed, if Jason had in fact found him, which Sookie still continued to disbelieve. The entire town would reap the reward right along with him and considering the sad state of everyone’s personal economy, it had everyone spending it before it arrived. Everyone but Sookie was happy to believe in the returning miracle as it polished up the glowing dollar signs in their eyes.
They only found out Eric was ostensibly rich after the search party arrived, his sister, Pam, looking as if she never performed a day’s of hard work let alone soft labour in her life, firmly at the helm. She was only a year older than Sookie, but looked about twenty years her senior with a heavy set of makeup and an impeccable wardrobe. In her six inch heels she braved the ocean for days, then weeks, till months turned into a year. She still returned every year on that date with the idle hope that he would show up on the shore in vain.
The Norströms owned one of the largest fishing fleets on the North Sea, and while Pam had never interested herself much in the business beyond its money making aspects, Eric had immersed himself in its production. He’d come to Louisiana to learn, to look for an expansion of their business without the title of heir to his name, even in this small town the name Norström meant something and without a doubt, it would have been met with hostility.
Thankfully no one asked her about Eric. No one ever did. They never knew that he was the boy to whom she lost her virginity. That he was the reason she’d never dared look at another man till Landon, sweet Landon, came along, leaving much of the town to speculate for years whether or not she was a lesbian. A speculation that, much to Sookie’s horror, Pam had followed up on.
She’d mourned him quietly. The storm that took him was far worse than anyone had expected. Jason’s boat was lost in seconds, a loss he mourned openly. She was thankful Jason had made it home safely through the aid of another nearby vessel that risked life and limb for them. Eric and Tara’s boyfriend, J.B. du Rhone, were the only ones never to return. Tara being the one person Sookie would have told about her loss, however, the comparison of her one night to the years that personified Tara and J.B. made her ordeal seem so small. If she even ever had the chance, at the news, Tara had left and was never heard from again.
“Don’t listen to a word he says, Pam,” Sookie answered automatically as she took the phone from Sam.
“What if it is, Sookie?” she rasped down the line. She took a moment to compose herself. It had been obvious Pam was crying, something she didn’t allow for often and even more rare; allowed anyone to witness. On her annual visits, she had always taken up Sookie’s invite to spend the night in her Gran’s, now her, guest room. It went without saying that the last place Eric stayed made Pam somehow feel closer to her lost sibling, and in the process she and Sookie had become quite close.
“Of course,” Sookie assured in a gentler tone, remaining quiet as she heard the onset of tears again.
“Damn hormones,” she sniffed before bidding her goodbye.
Somehow Pam, the lesbian wild child, had gotten married, and most notably not to a woman, but to a very old man. When Sookie had asked her why, the explanation had been surprisingly pragmatic, like the woman herself. Pam quite fancied the double barrelled surname and the estate that came with it. Her primary concern, her shoes, deserved some breathing space that apparently Pam’s spacious city apartment did not offer. The very old man in question needed an heir, describing his well-behaved nieces and nephews about as dull as wallpaper paste, an estimation Pam couldn’t help but agree with, and a contract was soon drawn up alongside an appointment with an in-vitro specialist. By all appearances, all those involved seemed very pleased with the merger as Pam had titled it.
Talk of Erik Norström soon died down with Jason still days away from returning to port. As talk of his return came closer once more, the whispers started up again and for the first time Sookie allowed herself to think, ‘What if?’ Before Landon she had fantasised over this exact scenario many times, a happy ending to replace another tragic one in the string of tragic turns that summarised her past. She’d learned long ago not to play the “What if?” game with her parents or her grandfather. Her Gran had seen to that. The ocean gave and it took away, and that was that.
Sookie didn’t even want to contemplate what it would mean if he had indeed been ‘found’. Their shared night was so long ago and after all, it had been just one night preceded by an inappropriate amount of flirting and charm on his account. He may be firmly locked into her memory, but what if she was just a blip in his? He obviously hadn’t made any effort to return as promised. That thought terrified her more than his possible return.
She contemplated reaching out to Tara. She knew her friend would be hurting, like she always did with the town’s obsession with Eric and the promised reward. No one ever mentioned J.B. with the same enthusiasm. It was most likely the reason why Tara had up and left without a word of goodbye, something for which Sookie had actually been quite thankful. An occasional postcard would drop in her or Lafayette’s mailbox from various places around the world. Her friend seemed better for it.
It was, after all, that determining factor that had kept her together for most of those years, which had allowed her to part and move on, and ultimately into a happy relationship with Landon. Never had she imagined that with a small creak of the door and a familiar, yet deeper voice, the weary foundations she had built for herself would fall with the single utterance of a word.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this little insight and let me know your thoughts it’ll determine how quickly I’ll update next. FYI Landon is not a bad guy, I didn’t find it necessary to paint him in an especially bad light as motivation to trade in one for the other, life hardly ever is like that but this doesn’t mean this is a triangle fic, it’s all very small and contained.
Awesome start! Makes me think of The Perfect Storm. That movie gutted me. More, please!!!
Me too… I’d hate to think we were gutting people. Yuk and or too many tissues!
Very nice. I look forward to this little mystery.
Hey! Don’t knock my 70’s music! It’s not cheesy… It won some awards, it tells a nice story, and after that song, many little babies girls were named Brandy.
This is exciting . I’m wondering if he was really lost at sea. Right way to end the chapter , makes me really excited about what is to come. Only one night together , interesting …so there was never really a relationship . Only a fantasy .
Or maybe it is just Lafayette! LOL! Yep the fact that it was just one night and much a fantasy of a shared future is what drives this mostly.
Great story. Can’t wait to read more!!!!!
Thanks! I’ll see when I update next, but it won’t be long.
I was hoping that Sookie had a child while Eric was gone. Hint hint not Landon’s child.
Sookie doesn’t really strike me as the let’s not be safe on my first time type, so no lost babies I’m afraid.
Like this beginning and that Pam allows Sookie to see her emotions.
Cannot wait to see where this goes!
Well Pam’s pregnant, it’s really the only explanation!
Interesting. Will this be all Sookie’s POV? I can’t wait to find out where he’s been for so long.
It is third person narrative but will follow mostly from Sookie’s POV with an insight into Eric now and then.
Loved it! A very intriguing start. What a wonderful imagination you must have to take these familiar characters and put them into such interesting permutations.
Well, maybe not the memory loss part, but the whole imagining him as part of a fishing empire, but “learning” the ropes on the Stackhpuse boat….that is certainly all very original.
This story is complete in six chapters, I’ll update according to demand.
It’s just been updated, don’t get used to it.
You got me hook, line and sinker;) Can’t wait for the next chapter!
That was awesome, and now I have the song Brandy running through my head!
Very original storytelling. Sookie has had so much tragedy in her life and can’t imagine what Eric’s been through. Looking forward to more!
OK, we’re all showing our ages that we remember the song “Brandy.” Enough about that!
I’m hooked and I need more! Update soon please!
Thanks! It’s just been updated!
Great beginning! Please do watch the Perfect Storm –it is gutting, but a terrific tale. I’m also thinking of the song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” which was about a storm on the Great Lakes.
I think I’ll pass on the perfect storm, Oscar bait films aren’t really my thing… Glad to hear you enjoyed the beginning of this though!
Another good 70’s song! Gordon Lightfoot!
I’d been holding olff starting this story and finally have the time..An intriguing set up, I can’t wait to read the rest of the chapters you have posted. How will Eric’s return affect her relationship with Landon? it is certainly possible to love two people at the same time, but not equally..time will tell (and of course you)..
Excellent comment! I agree that’s entirely possible, and that’s the first time I’ve ever read that! I’ve never wanted to express that before because I always figured I’d get verbally attacked, but you’re right. Of course it wouldn’t be equal, but when would you ever someone equally?

When the Philadelphia Phillies signed lefthander Cole Hamels to an extension last week, they said the 2012 season was not a lost cause. Sure, Hamels was signed with a focus on the future, but the Phillies seemingly weren’t ready to give up on the present.
Then they were swept by the Atlanta Braves and their plans did a 180. When they gave Hamels $144 million, they were telling their fans that they are willing to spend whatever is necessary. After one lost weekend, they appear to have buyer’s remorse.
Now the Phillies appear willing to trade just about anybody on their roster not named Hamels, Roy Halladay or Carlos Ruiz. They want to get younger and they want to reduce payroll.
By today 4 p.m. ET nonwaiver trading deadline, they likely will have moved starter Joe Blanton, outfielders Shane Victorino and Juan Pierre, and utilityman Ty Wigginton. It is possible they could also trade right fielder Hunter Pence and, if things fall their way, starter Cliff Lee and shortstop Jimmy Rollins will be on different teams, too.
To change plans so dramatically and abruptly is a formula for trouble. Making one trade is complicated, as we can see from the reported Blanton-to-Baltimore Orioles deal. Making a bunch of trades in a short timeframe can make heads spin.
Imagine being general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling about Victorino. The San Francisco Giants are asking about Pence. The Cincinnati Reds are inquiring about Victorino and Pierre. The Arizona Diamondbacks are putting in a feeler for Lee. The Orioles are trying to finish up the Blanton deal. The Oakland A’s are wondering about Rollins. Oh yeah, when you get a second, call the New York Yankees and see if they are interested in Wigginton.
The Phillies have won five consecutive NL East titles, so they have done a lot right. But look at what they have done with Lee over the past three years, and you have to wonder. If they handle everyone like they have jerked around Lee, they are bound to run into trouble sooner or later.
Trade deadline, 2009: The Phillies acquire Lee from the Cleveland Indians in a five-player deal. Lee dominates the postseason to the tune of a 1.56 ERA and 4-0 record that includes two wins over the Yankees in the World Series. The Phillies fall short of winning the World Series but are thrilled to have Lee on their side for another year at an affordable $8 million.
December, 2009: The Phillies are even more thrilled to finally trade for Roy Halladay, so they ship Lee to Seattle Mariners to make the deal work. Amaro says he would like to keep both aces but is concerned that he won’t be able to afford Lee when he reaches free agency the following year.
December, 2010: Amaro gets Lee back with a five-year, $120 million deal when the Yankees and Texas Rangers were offering more.
July 25, 2012: The Phillies extended their third and youngest ace, Cole Hamels, with a six-year, $144 million deal that gives them a trio of $20-million-a-year starters. Even though this will result in the Phillies paying seven players in excess of $125 million in 2013, Amaro says he doesn’t intend to trade Lee.
Indeed. But rarely is there a good outcome when they change so much, so quickly.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Nova Vita as our elves prepare for the Residents’ Christmas party, toy workshop, and Santa’s arrival. The kids in the shelter are getting excited and writing their Christmas lists as we speak. But without the help of our community, the families living in our shelter would not be able to have a safe and brighter holiday. They often come to the shelter with nothing but the clothes on their backs. At Christmas, this can be especially difficult as they are away from their homes, families, and presents from holidays gone by.
At Nova Vita, we strive to make the holidays a little brighter for our residents and the families we support in the community. We act as Santa’s helpers to make sure the children are not forgotten. Santa has a workshop at Nova Vita where our busy elves sort and wrap toys around the clock to make sure each child has something under the tree for Christmas. If you would like to help make someone’s Christmas brighter, below is a list of suggested gift items.
Financial donations are always appreciated – this allows Nova Vita to purchase desired items on a child’s wish list. If possible please include wrapping paper, tags, and tape with your donation.
Please note that all Christmas gift items must be new and unwrapped.
I will be delivering 52 “santa sacs” (20 for women or older girls & 32 for children) mid December. My customers and myself have worked hard to put this donation together. I can’t wait to bring them in! I will pass this info on.
Thank you for all of your hard work and for helping these women and their children.

The category "experience" has played a cardinal role in modern studies of Buddhism. Few scholars seem to question the notion that Buddhist monastic practice, particularly meditation, is intended first and foremost to inculcate specific religious or "mystical" experiences in the minds of practitioners. Accordingly, a wide variety of Buddhist technical terms pertaining to the "stages on the path" are subject to a phenomenological hermeneutic-they are interpreted as if they designated discrete "states of consciousness" experienced by historical individuals in the course of their meditative practice. This paper argues that the role of experience in the history of Buddhism has been greatly exaggerated in contemporary scholarship. Both historical and ethnographic evidence suggests that the privileging of experience may well be traced to certain twentieth-century Asian reform movements, notably those that urge a "return" to zazen or vipassanā meditation, and these reforms were profoundly influenced by religious developments in the West. Even in the case of those contemporary Buddhist schools that do unambiguously exalt meditative experience, ethnographic data belies the notion that the rhetoric of meditative states functions ostensively. While some adepts may indeed experience "altered states" in the course of their training, critical analysis shows that such states do not constitute the reference points for the elaborate Buddhist discourse pertaining to the "path." Rather, such discourse turns out to function ideologically and performatively-wielded more often than not in the interests of legitimation and institutional authority.
Chanting the psalms, or psalmody, is an ancient practice of vital importance in the Christian spiritual tradition. Today many think of it as a discipline that belongs only in monasteries--but psalmody is a spiritual treasure that is available to anyone who prays. You don't need to be musical or a monk to do it, and it can be enjoyed in church liturgical worship, in groups, or even individually as part of a personal rule of prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault brings the practice into the twenty-first century, providing a history of Christian psalmody as well as an appreciation of its place in contemplative practice today. And she teaches you how to do it as you chant along with her on the accompanying CD in which she demonstrates the basic techniques and easy melodies that anyone can learn. "Even if you can't read music," Cynthia says, "or if somewhere along the way you've absorbed the message that your voice is no good or you can't sing on pitch, I'll still hope to show you that chanting the psalms is accessible to nearly everyone."
This essay seeks to explore contemplation as it features in Christian theology and philosophy, both ancient and modern. Contemplation, in ancient philosophy, is transformed in Christian theology; nonetheless, it has the structure of what Jean Wahl calls ‘transascendance’, a rising to the heights. Although contemplation remains as a theme in modern Christian theology, it drops out in modern philosophy: that is, post-Renaissance philosophy. And yet it returns, both in analytic and continental philosophy, in the twentieth century. It returns, however, in the mode of ‘transdescendance’: by way of conditions of possibility, and fundamental orientations.

I have no idea about tomorrow, the feeling is not bearish though.
For the past 2 years, all bulls need are imagination and I’ve seen 6 consecutive up gaps (from 12/18/2009 to 12/28/2009), so really 4 consecutive up gaps really are nothing.
And we had 3 consecutive 16+ points SPX gap up from 03/17 /2011 to 03/21/2011, so again the 4th 20 SPX points gap up tomorrow is not entirely impossible.
Well, hope you’ve got my sarcasm despite my beautiful Chenglish. Put all the emotional stuff aside, despite I’m not yet ready to give up the forecast that the Aug 9 lows will be revisited but if the market really wants to go up from here, then so be it, I won’t argue a single word (well, I mean aloud, I would still be murmuring…).

PHILADELPHIA -- Tommy McDonald, the small, speedy and sure-handed receiver who teamed with quarterback Norm Van Brocklin to help the Philadelphia Eagles win the 1960 NFL championship, has died. He was 84.
"Oh, baby!" McDonald shouted in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 1, 1998. "Do I look excited, like I just won the lottery or the jackpot? Yes! I'm in the Hall of Fame!"
His induction speech was equal parts hilarity and histrionics. McDonald told jokes and tossed his 25-pound bronze bust in the air. He pulled out a radio and danced to disco music -- all on the steps of the hallowed hall.
"Tommy McDonald lived life like he played the game of football. He was charismatic, passionate and had fun," Hall of Fame president and CEO David Baker said. "He was such a character. Heaven is a happier place today."
"Tommy McDonald played the game with a passion and energy that was second to none," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He will be remembered as one of the most exciting players ever to play his position, but what really separated him and made him so unique was the infectious personality and charisma that he brought to his everyday life. He had a genuine love for this team, for the Philadelphia community, for the fans, and, of course, his family. He was a man of character, both on and off the field, who exemplified all the qualities that we hope to represent as an organization.
"He was a champion, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, and one of the most genuine individuals I have ever met. On behalf of the Philadelphia Eagles, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the entire McDonald family."
A running back at Oklahoma under Bud Wilkinson, McDonald was an All-American in 1955 and 1956. He never experienced a loss with the Sooners, winning 31 straight games, part of Oklahoma's 47-game run.
He was used primarily on punts and kick returns early his rookie season, before being inserted as a flanker against the Washington Redskins midway through the year. McDonald scored two touchdowns, including a 61-yarder that late NFL commissioner Bert Bell reportedly called "one of the greatest catches I have ever seen in pro football."
McDonald and Van Brocklin proved a formidable pair for the Eagles. They combined for one of the most memorable touchdowns in franchise history, a 35-yard reception on a frigid afternoon that helped the Eagles to a 17-13 win over Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers in the 1960 NFL title game at Franklin Field. It was the team's third championship and the only championship game a Lombardi-coached team lost.
"You can't go any higher," McDonald said in 2005 as the Eagles prepped for a Super Bowl appearance. "We were at the top of the hill looking down yelling, 'Hello! Nobody expected us to be here."
Born in New Mexico, McDonald's family moved from the small town of Roy to Albuquerque before his sophomore year in high school. He developed into a three-sport athlete in football, basketball and track.

text: In the Dark Ages after the Romans abandon Britain, the Saxon threat is growing stronger every year. For sixteen-year-old Rhys, whose father was killed by a Saxon raid, this means he must leave his family and home at his grandfather’s estate to go to the monastery school of Caerllion and study under the tutelage of the harsh Abbot Aidan. But Rhys’ real ambition is to become a warrior and avenge his father. So he is overjoyed when – despite the protests of Abbot Aidan – he is given the chance to train under the command of Prince Arthur himself, the greatest warrior ever to protect Britain. Rhys works hard to prove himself both to Arthur and to his fellow Colts, but is always eager to go home to visit his family – and Helena, the daughter of his grandfather’s steward, Rhys’s first love. When Helena is kidnapped, Rhys will stop at nothing to rescue her. With the help of his friends, Rhys must find out whether he has the courage to fight for his country, avenge his father – and earn the love of Helena. Packed with action, intrigue and romance, this is an exciting tale of friendship, courage and first love.

There’s something enthralling that occurs when words are coupled with visuals. More so now than ever, visual outputs are just as seminal as the music itself. It creates a holistic delineation, serving as the last puzzle piece of the tour de force. It’s a means of breaking down cultural borders, elevating one’s artistry and pushing creative boundaries.
Below are 5 African visual storytellers who represent the latter.
A household name within the South African music video sphere, Kyle Lewis is a Cape Town based music video director whose body of work has afforded him a high-level of reverence within the industry. An AFDA Alumni, he has accrued a number of award nominations and was awarded the prestigious ‘Best Music Video’ award at the 2014 SAMAs for the Parlotone’s “Sleepwalker” music video. Lewis has worked on numerous videos for South Africa’s biggest artists such as Riky Rick, Cassper Nyovest and Khuli Chana. Lewis once again solidified his GOAT status by way of a short film for 3 singles off Nasty C’s ‘Bad Hair’ album. The film starts out with a Victorian inspired visual which compliments the instrumentals in the ‘Don’t Do It’ single perfectly. The film then transitions into ‘Good Girls and Snapchat Hoes’ with an erratic shower scene. Then finally, ‘Phases’- complimented by insane kaleidoscopic effects.
With a stellar catalogue comprising of videos mostly of African and international collaborations, Sesan Ogunro is characterized as one of the best directors in Africa. Based in the UK, Sesan has directed videos for music’s biggest artists such as D’Banj, Burna Boy, French Montana, Kanye West, AKA, Riky Rick and Wizkid.
Photographer and Filmmaker Adriaan Louw’s first induction into visual storytelling was at the age of 16 when he purchased a camera and started filming footage at Skateparks. After moving onto shooting footage for bands on tour, music videos seemed like a natural transition for him. Director of Riky Rick’s ‘Nafukwa’, the opening scene is an aerial view of gritty Johannesburg. Shot in Westbury, the video alternates between greyscale scenes of African artifacts and takes on the streets of Westbury with cameos from BoyzNBucks and GanjaBeats. Louw’s catalogue also includes AKA’s “Dreamwork”, Riky Rick’s “Boss Zonke” and Stilo Magolide’s “More” music video, comprising of drone shots of Maputo and an epic scene of Stilo performing in a burning landfill.
Justin Campos; founder of Gorilla Films, a full service production company, has worked with some of Africa’s biggest artists such as Davido, Sarkodie, Wizkid and AKA. Campos has been in the game for 20 years, having shot and directed over 500 music videos. His visual prowess and use of special effects has resulted in him being one of the most sought-after directors in Africa.
