In episode 105, Jerry learns that Marcus read his journal, but he somewhat contains his anger.
I think there's a bit of a pass because Marcus is in the wheel chair, but in that moment, there's a decision to be made. I can run you into a wall so you never, ever touch anything of mine again... or I can get the hell out. Because Jerry knows what he's been capable of in the past-whatever that past has been-he tries to limit, in some self-therapeutic way, the possibility of some regrettable action.
On his way out, Jerry makes sure Lonnie and Renzo take Marcus to the hospital, and then returns to check on him. That's when Marcus, on valium, confides his concern that he's "queer for" Jerry. It's a touching scene.
It's one of the most amazing scenes I've ever read and was lucky enough to be part of. It's the anti-love, brotherly love scene - because it's too painful to admit that you actually care about something or that someone cares about you. It's also about the great need to have family, or love, or a connection. To be so riddled in your past with disappointment that it's painful to realize you actually care about something. I just love the fact that it takes Marcus being on valium to even touch the surface of this. That's the closest he'll ever get to saying, "OK, we're friends." Jerry's got to actually give Marcus an overview of his own background -- of the trauma that started when he was a kid and had this accident that the scene hints at, the details of which we don't know. And then living with that trauma your whole life and somehow connecting with people that set up a lion's lair, some kind of home, in this flea bag motel. It's the most sense of home that each of these guys have probably felt in years. And it's uncomfortable and nasty and secular enough that it's tolerable for now.
Did anyone provide any backstory on how you four ended up together at the Oasis?
It really only takes a singular visit to the track to understand. It's an overwhelming current of hope that you get to experience every day at the track. Regardless of your social class or background, it's that chase that brings these guys together. There's an unspoken love of that world that includes the gambling, the kismet factor of life. It's that dream that this may be the day that the chemistry of a jockey, a horse, the numbers, the wind, the rain, the turf -all those things have to come together in this moment to make your longshot come true. The track pretty much explains that to you when you visit it and you sit at Clocker's Corners and you watch how intently the real rail birds commit themselves to it daily.
What other research have you done for the role?
I've talked to a lot of longtimers. And my research is ongoing. The one thing that makes Jerry gifted at handicapping is almost more intuitive. He's got a sense of numbers, he's got a sense of trainers, but his real gift is his understanding of a special horse. There are some people and some animals and some individual living creatures that just want more out of life than the rest of the pack of creatures. Jerry is able to pick up on that - the beauty and the grace of a champion horse. This is Jerry's meditation. He can check out and connect with the natural instinct of these horses to just want to run and the majesty that is them. That's something you can't really do research on. It's reading short stories or poems about horses and connecting with other people's love of the horse.
Do you think the Degenerates will stay together?
What keeps them together is almost a belief that it's only temporary, even if it's not. As long as in their mind this is just temporary because they won this money and they're trying to keep a low profile, they can use it as an excuse to stay together. But if we were to ever mention that we're better if we hang out as a pack, we'd probably be too uncomfortable with that and then dissolve into our own directions. The scene is a lot about that. The primal need for family, and the shame that some people have that they a) need it, b) receive it and c) want it.

I want to visit Paris, the City of Light. I’m not sure why I haven’t. Maybe I’m afraid that once I go I may never come back. The art of Paris is everywhere now. I’ve seen it in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and even Nashville. But I want to walk along the streets of the city that built the Louvre, more a cathedral than an art museum, the city that housed the Paris Salon, now forever famous for its exclusion of the Refuses and the Impressionists, the city that fomented one revolution after another – Art Nouveau, Surrealism and Cubism to name a few – the city that gave refuge to the Lost Generation of the 1920s.
I don’t know if I’ll ever make it to Paris, but in the meantime, I think I will make sure that Paris is present in several of the art camps that we will offer at Art Matters this summer. By “we” I mean my daughter, Amelia, and I and our special guests. Amelia is a former Artist in Residence at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, and offers our camps not only her love for art but her way with words, enriching every camp with opportunities for young artists to create with words as well as with paint and easel.
As much as we both love Paris, our initial offering Portraits and Pours is inspired by two American artists, cutting edge portraitists Amy Sherald and Chloe Wise. Campers will use acrylic pours for backgrounds, learn step-by step how to maintain proportion and create a likeness and try their hand at writing a literary portrait as well.
The afternoon camp that week, Get Surreal! features the art of Salvador Dali (charter member of the Paris Surrealists), Rene Magritte and others. Young artists will explore the dreamlike qualities of surrealism and experiment with juxtaposition of images and written words.
Mexican Modernism, features Diego Rivera (who spent 12 formative years in Paris studying and painting) and Frida Kahlo among others. Families are invited to extend the Mexican Modernism experience by joining us at the Frist Museum in Nashville the following Saturday, June 15.
Those Roaring 20s provides art experiences inspired by art and music during the early 1900s in New York City, including Art Nouveau and Tiffany inspired stained glass (our version will be plexiglass). Did I mention that Art Nouveau originated in Paris?
The Art of the South is inspired by Winslow Homer, Jacob Lawrence and his Great Migration series, and Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the south, plus reading and writing dialect inspired by Zora Neal Hurston.
Japanese Printmaking And More features Ukiyo e printmaking, Gyotaku, Notan, Sumi E, and Haiku. It is followed in the afternoon by Vincent Van Gogh and Japonisme, a camp that explores one time Paris resident Vincent Van Gogh’s interest in Japanese art and its influence on his own creativity.
The Amateur Naturalist will give young artists a chance to draw, to use watercolor and to write from observations of nature – both plant life and animals. (Expect an animal or two to show up at Art Matters that week.) The camp will include a morning at Lost River Cave. Parents drop off and pick up children at Lost River on the appointed day.
Ancient Arts of is a camp that features yoga by Susan Tutino of Strawberry Fields, plus the Art of Mehndi (henna hand painting,), Madhubani painting, mandala and rongoli designs, ghazal poems and much more! Summer Art Camp comes to a close that afternoon with Traditional Arts Of New Zealand offering Traditional Maori Designs, Moku, Koru and more! Susan Tutino will even lead us in a closing ceremony (Kirtan) at the end of the day with music and chanting in ancient Sanscrit.
Two camps, Portraits and Pours and The Ancient Art of India, are for campers age 12 and over. The minimum age for all other camps is age six. I am excited about the prospect for fun this summer. As Audrey Hepburn once said to Humphrey Bogart, “Paris is always a good idea.

lifestyle /Horology RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal by Richard Mille From their first meeting in 2008, Richard Mille and Rafael Nadal embarked on one of the most extraordinary shared adventures in contemporary ne watchmaking.
Like its predecessors, the RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal coalesces the fruits of a constant quest for innovation within a unique design. Inspired by the RM 35-01, the RM 35-02 emerged in response to a request from many Richard Mille customers for a self-winding mechanism at the heart of a Nadal calibre. As a result, the name ‘Nadal’ now graces a unique collection of Richard Mille watches that are synonymous with innovation, lightness and shock-resistance.
Powered by the new RMAL1 calibre, the base plate and bridges in wet-sandblasted grade 5 titanium, which has been PVD/Titalyt® treated and stretched to ensure supreme rigidity and impeccably smooth surfaces. The RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal is available in either a daring bright Quartz-TPT Red with white highlights or NTPT Carbon.
Case in NTPT® Carbon OR Quartz-TPT® Red — NTPT® Carbon and Quartz- TPT® Red are exclusive material with a unique appearance. Their remarkable surface displays extremely regular undulations, as they are composed of multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibers or silica threads.
These layers, with a maximum thickness of 45 microns, are impregnated with resin then woven on a special machine that modifies the direction of the weft by 45° between layers (Quartz-TPT® layers are saturated in a red resin developed specially for Richard Mille). Heated to 120°C at a pressure of 6 bars, these materials are then ready to be processed on a CNC machine in Richard Mille’s ProArt case factory.
The case of the RM 35-02 is water resistant to 50 meters, ensured by two Nitril O-ring seals. The case is assembled with 20 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in 316L stainless steel. This permits better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.
Rotor with variable geometry — This exclusive RICHARD MILLE design allows the rewinding of the mainspring to be adapted most effectively to the user’s activity level within sports or leisure environments.

HomeUncategorizedLooking Into Getting Cosmetic Surgery? Check This Out First!
TIP! It’s important to inquire about credentials when deciding on your surgeon and procedure. Find out his background education, and if he has attended to any similar past surgeries.
When considering plastic surgery, many people reflect upon celebrities that have had these procedures. Nonetheless, you must remember that everyone is different, and your results may not be exactly like those of your favorite movie star. The tips below will help you navigate through the process of having a plastic surgery procedure.
TIP! Learn what your surgeon’s malpractice insurance policy covers. You need to make sure you are covered on the chance that something happens during your procedure.
Find out from your doctor if he plans to start you on antibiotics before your procedure. You’ll likely need to take some medication in recovery to reduce chances of infections or complications. You may want to consider a second opinion if your surgeon isn’t recommending an antibiotic.
TIP! You should thoroughly research your surgeons policy on revised procedures. It is not uncommon for surgeons to make errors in procedures, which result in costly corrective surgery to fix.
Talk with your surgeon to find out if you will have to prepare for your surgery in any special way. Ask them if hair needs to be removed from your head or face.
TIP! Ask your doctor about any procedures they have done previously. Ask how many times they have done the operation and see if they have photographic examples of their work.
Always consider alternative options before engaging in cosmetic surgery. Frequently, it is possible to find other procedures that can address your concerns. Certain makeup products, finding a good dermatologist or using other methods to treat problem areas at home may work instead.
TIP! Patients commonly have a great deal of blood loss during their surgeries. Some bleeding is okay, but too much can cause very negative complications.
TIP! Know that the price of plastic surgery might change. There are a lot of factors that can contribute to this change in costs.
When discussing cost of your surgery, ask your doctor to give you a itemized list of costs. An agreement must be made as to the due date of the payment and any payment plan details if the procedure is expensive. It is important that all of this is figured out prior to your surgery date.
TIP! If you find yourself in a rough situation, such as a divorce or a mid-life crisis, do not schedule surgery right now. If you are feeling unstable, this could make the recovery process very tough.
TIP! As you plan for your cosmetic surgery, make sure to know what the recovery window is. It is important to give yourself ample time to recover before any events you have planned.
People will often lose a lot of blood during surgery. Some bleeding occurs during most surgeries. However, you can have serious problems if there is excessive bleeding. It can occur while the surgery is happening, or after. If too much bleeding happens, it will gather beneath the skin; in this case, more surgery will be needed to fix the problem. This is why it is imperative that you discuss concerns about blood loss with your surgeon.
TIP! Keep your cosmetic surgery expectations realistic. Although cosmetic surgery can make drastic changes to your appearance, they cannot perform miracles.
Do not schedule any cosmetic procedures during an emotional time in your life. You need to be able to focus fully on recovery after your surgery; dealing with emotional problems on top of physical recovery is going to make it harder to recover appropriately. Additionally, a lengthy recovery time might take a toll on your emotional health.
TIP! Give yourself sufficient recovery time after your surgery is completed. Some procedures may require as much as four weeks or more of recovery time.
Knowing what you should expect is very important when contemplating plastic surgery. You need to be educated about the process so that you are more relaxed and confidant about the procedure. Using these tips will help. You’ll see a more beautiful you soon!

On visiting the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo in 2012, Oliver Curtis turned and looked back in the direction he had come from. What he saw fascinated him so much that he has since made a point of turning his back on some of world's most photographed monuments and historic sites, looking at their counter-views and forgotten faces.
Taken over a period of four years, Volte-Face is an invitation to turn around and see a new aspect of the over-photographed sites of the world – to gaze elsewhere and to favour the incidental over the monumental. Much of what is seen when one turns away may initially seem mundane, the antithesis of the famous construction. These landscapes are in every sense over-looked. They emit a quiet history and a subtle narrative. It is easy to forget that these attractions are also places of work, staffed by janitors, security guards, cleaners and office guards, who have a lack of awe born from daily exposure. Yet despite the landmarks not being present, the images are still suffused with their aura.
Oliver Curtis studied film and television at the LCP and has balanced work in stills and the moving image ever since. A renowned cinematographer, he has shot feature films as diverse as Clare Kilner’s The Wedding Date, Frank Oz’s Death At A Funeral and Joanna Hogg’s Unrelated as well as experimental gallery-based installations.

Meols Hall Tithe Barn in Southport, Merseyside is such a fantastic venue for a wedding. It was an absolute pleasure photographing Hannah and Mark’s wedding at Meols Hall Tithe Barn, this beautiful 400 year old barn has been meticulously restored by local craftsmen and retains all its original and authentic features. The stunning Meols Hall has stood on this site since the early reign of King John and has passed through 27 generations to the present owner. It is a truly impressive wedding venue.
Family and friends present at Our Lady of Compassion witnessed Hannah and Mark exchange vows in an poignant ceremony. 35 years ago the lovely brides mum and dad tied the knot with the same vicar who is now an impressive 81 years old, but you would never think it. The fact he had married them all those years ago was a complete coincidence but one that made this wedding a little bit more special for the bride and groom and their family.
After some confetti and some mingling outside the church the bride and groom led the way to Meols Hall with Classic Wedding Cars of Lancashire taking driving them in the sun to the reception. The atmosphere at the reception was perfect for entertaining the guests. The guests enjoyed some drinks in the sun making the most of Meols Hall’s impressive courtyard. Meols Hall has acres of idyllic woodland which creates the perfect wedding venue. Before the wedding breakfast we headed off for some natural and relaxed photos and then it was time for the speeches which were all fantastic. I have to say Mark’s speech was one of the most heartfelt and fantastic speeches I have heard. It’s not often I get a little teary in speeches – but this one had everyone going.
The evening guests began to arrive and sun began to set, so as soon as golden hour started we headed out to make the most of the stunning sunset. Soon it was time for first dance and the Shine who had travelled all the way from Brighton definitely pulled it off, the wedding floor was packed while the newlyweds were showing off their best moves. You couldn’t wish for a more perfect day for Hannah and Mark and I thoroughly enjoyed telling their story.
If you are looking of a natural and relaxed wedding photographer for your wedding at Meols Hall Tithe Barn or anywhere in the UK who will let you enjoy your wedding rather than being away from your friends and family for ages then please get in touch. I promise – no awkward poses, no uncomfortable “look at the camera and laugh” just natural moments, capturing the day as it happens.
Thanks so much Marianne, it was a great day!! Photos coming this week!!

You might ask: what does, Elegance from Nature, Beauty through Kindness mean?
Well, to begin with, it is the mission statement for The Lesser Bear. The simple answer is that the beautiful colors that I make come from plant based dyes, which are often grown locally, or even foraged in my neighborhood, and of course, silk is a natural fiber.
The second half of the mission statement means that I am dedicated to kindness. My mom raised me with the saying, "Pretty is as pretty does", which might sound trivial, but I truly believe that there is no greater beauty in life than kindness, and there is nothing uglier than cruelty.
I strive for kindness to the community and my customers. I strive to create a pleasant experience for you from your first visit to the website, or my studio, to the unboxing experience and in interactions with me. But I also dedicate a portion of the proceeds and/or give in kind donations to a wide range of charitable organizations and causes. You can look back through earlier posts to see some of the causes that I have supported through The Lesser Bear. Most recently, I created custom ombre dyed drapery for The Thread of Hope - a benefit in honor of Sam's Fans, which supports and enhances music and art therapy programs that serve seriously ill patients and their families.
Kindness should also be extended to nature as well, and I do this in terms of using a dye method (natural dyeing) that is less toxic to the environment than commonly used chemical dyes, purposeful waste reduction, recycling, reusing and composting throughout the entire process from color studies to shipping.
As I mentioned, I have previously blogged about organizations that I support, and I will of course update you when I choose new causes, and I will write more in the future about the environmental impact of the textile industry and why natural dyes are such an important alternative to chemical dyes.
But for now, I wanted to highlight what I have been doing aside from dyes to help reduce the impact of my business. First of all, I try to reuse as much as possible. I often use exhausted dye baths to water my plants and yard. I try whenever possible to use only dye materials that are grown locally and/or that I can forage when walking around my neighborhood.
For instance, I use black walnuts in many of my dyes. I get all of my black walnuts from friends and neighbors who are often exasperated by loads of black walnut dropping in their yards and staining everything. I happily collect them and spend days sitting outside cutting off the green husks, which are the dye source, and I use an old screen and the heat of my driveway to dry them for use throughout the year. I then scatter the nut itself in my garden for the very happy squirrels, or compost them. I haven't used them in food yet, as I often receive them when they are not the freshest. But I dream of someday owning land with a grove of black walnuts of my own.
Also, I often make dyes from common food waste such as: onion peels, pomegranate rinds, avocado pits and skins and the water from soaking black beans. When possible, and when I need more than my family can eat it's way through, I like to get these things from local restaurants or grocery stores, who would otherwise be throwing it out.
I keep silk threads from the ribbon making process to stuff sewing projects, and any scrap ribbon for wrapping personal gifts, kids crafts and making ornaments, etc.
There is a lot more examples, and there is of course a lot of room for improvement, but what I wanted to share before I go is that I now offer a spool return credit. If you have purchased ribbon from me and your spools are in good condition, you can return them to me for a shop credit of $0.50 per spool. I am excited to offer this service as I am sure that I have many customers; brides, wedding planners and paper goods artists who don't have a use for 30-40 empty spools! So remember, don't throw them away. Just return them to me in good condition and receive a credit.

New Year’s resolutions…it’s time to change the way people think about them.
Contrary to popular belief, goals can do marvellous things towards improving your lifestyle and continuing to better the life you’re living. Believe it or not many people do figure out ways to stick to their goals and they are making a lot of progress. So why not give it a try? When it comes to setting financial goals, there are a few handy tricks that you can use that will make sticking to your New Year’s resolutions much easier.
Before you start making a list of all the things you want to improve in 2018, take a step back to see where you really need to focus your attention. If making resolutions isn’t something that you’ve done before, then it’d probably be best to stick with one for starters. Once you’ve figured out exactly what needs immediate attention in the financial aspect of your life, it’s time to make a solid plan, and it’s as easy as using a simple acronym; S-M-A-R-T.
‘I want to save more this year’ isn’t too helpful if you’re working towards something specific. Instead decide exactly how much you want to save so that you’ve got an exact number to be striving for during the year.
This aspect should be pretty easy when you’re making financial resolutions. Set milestones to split your goal into manageable sized pieces. Instead of directly aiming and focusing on saving a total by the end of the year, create a mini goal that you need to reach each month or week, to help you track your progress throughout the year.
A lot of us are guilty of making unrealistic goals and only realise later that we may not be able to meet them in the time that we thought. Unless you’re confident you’re going to win the lotto this year, make sure that the goal you set is reasonable for your current financial situation.
As mentioned earlier, your resolution should be centred upon the main financial issue that you’re currently facing. By easing yourself of financial stress according to highest priority, you’ll find yourself in a better financial position quite quickly.
Finally, and most importantly, you need to set a due date for yourself. Without a deadline, you might be tempted to slide and make excuses to cheat. Whether it is in a few weeks or months, setting a specific date for you to meet your goal gives you motivation to be proactive with your financial decisions so that you reach your goal in time.
A key aspect to developing good habits is to set reminders for yourself daily; stick your goals to the fridge or onto your door. This way, your goals will always be in the back of your mind, constantly reminding you of what you should be doing. To ease the stress on yourself, perhaps get your family involved; if you’re all working towards the same goal, it makes it way easier to stick to a common plan. If your goal isn’t something private tell a friend or someone close, this will keep you accountable and make sure you keep yourself on track. If you have any concerns about your financial situation, seeking assistance with financial counsellors may also be helpful to provide you with guidance and help along the way to reaching your goal.
If your financial goal is to do with saving more money this year, the best tool you can use is a budget. This will give you an idea of how much you can spend on a day-to-day basis helping you meet your goal in time. To give your savings an extra push, make sure your savings account is earning high interest as you’ll reap a little extra as you save. Additionally, making automated payments into your savings account as well as extra payments, will help you to reach your savings goals quicker than you expected.
As you approach your goal, it’s helpful to self-motivate occasionally. Reward yourself when you’ve reached a milestone (but make sure these are planned not spontaneous). Set milestones every month or so and decide on what your reward will be ahead of time. This way you won’t be tempted to do any unnecessary splurging.
It’s never too late to start making positive changes to your financial situation. It doesn’t matter if you’ve missed January 1st, today is the day you should start getting back on track to living a financially stable life.

up a “spooky” version of my pumpkin dip for the party.
Have a spooky Halloween, friends!
Next Post One Year Anniversary!
Yay!! We were soooo excited you guys came! Thanks so much for sharing some of our party. We LOVED the pumpkin sweaters. Every bottle of wine needs a holiday sweater after all. 🙂 Your dip was amazing and beautiful. People were talking about it all night. We will seriously have to hang out again soon.

I preached this sermon on Sunday August 10, 2014 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Outer Banks.
To many people the word signifies the acceptance of something that puts a strain on the intelligence. Accordingly, faith is to them a belief is what is not true or in what is by nature not fact but wish.
To others the word faith signifies the acceptance of some belief simply because a church, a tradition, a state, a party, demands it. They may recall that St. Ignatius of Loyola once said, "We should always be disposed to believe that which appears white to us is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides." With some justification, then, they hold that faith is a belief in "some nice tenets," a "dear deceit" (as archaic as those phrases suggest), which relieves one of the responsibility of thinking for oneself; it is therefore a positively dangerous thing, a form of bigotry that will brook no questioning or criticism and that dresses itself up as "the cure for modern pride" and as "humble obedience to the will of God."
But conventionally "religious" people have no monopoly on credulity. Those who reject the inherited "faith" are sometimes only the victims of a new credulity. Nothing could be more credulous than the belief that faith dies when traditional belief dies. Our world is full to bursting with faiths, each contending for allegiance. Hitler claimed to teach again the meaning of faith, Mussolini shouted to his disciples "Believe, follow and act." "Fascism," he said "before being a party is a religion. "Those who were called to put down the battalions of the brown shirts and the black shirts were asked to show the faith that lies behind freedom. So the procession of the gods passes over the state of our world. Human history is not the struggle between religion and irreligion; it is veritably a battle of faiths; a battle of the gods who claim human allegiance.
So I have to say that writing this sermon did not get off to an auspicious start yesterday. I had trouble sleeping on Friday night waking up worried, not able to go back to sleep. I did get some rest but woke up feeling not fully rested. I had this vision of myself getting up early, getting over here to my office and having this sermon knocked out and ready to go by late afternoon. Instead the lack of sleep left me emotional and stressed and the first half of the day was spent struggling with doubt - doubt in myself, doubting that things would ever get easier or better, doubt. As a person who lives and works with faith at the center of her life, doubt while necessary and valuable, can be anxiety producing and get in the way of work.
I also started worrying that talking about faith and the necessity of faith in our lives would alienate those among us who are strongly atheist. That my talk of faith would mean that I would be advocating that all of us have to believe in God and by that I mean God as understood as a supernatural all powerful being who brought the world into being and answers our pleas if we are good enough and will reward or punish us for our lives after we are dead. Another way to say it is that I would be advocating for faith in an all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, unchanging God. Could I successfully talk about faith and doubt in a way that can encompass a wide range of understandings of beliefs? So bear with me and I ask your generosity. If the language doesn't quite fit, I ask you to translate and if I really get it wrong, come see me and let’s talk about it.
I am a person who has faith in God. Now what exactly does that mean? Well I do not believe in an all powerful being who is all seeing, all knowing, all powerful, who has supernatural powers to disrupt the laws of nature and the universe and reach down and intervene in the affairs of individuals or even the world. When I say I have faith in God I mean that I trust that there is a spirit, a source of energy and life and creation, of love that is beyond me. It encompasses and transcends me and our physical world but is yet bound up unalterably in it. I believe it is a love that will not let me go. It is creative and sustaining. This God who I put my faith in hears my prayers and maybe that is all God does. “Prayer,” to use the words from the Jewish Prayer Book, “might not bring water to parched fields, nor mend a broken bridge, nor rebuild a ruined city. But prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, rebuild a weakened will.” Prayer in other words changes me so I can have strength and will to do my part in changing the world. It is the faith found in the words of Julian of Norwich "All will be well, all manner of thing shall be well" and as someone reminded me the other day its correlation "If it is not all well, than it is not the end." It is the faith found in Peter Mayer’s song “Everything is Holy Now”. That is the faith that sustains me but I know that that faith does not sustain everyone. I want to extend an invitation to all of you during these next months to share with me and with each other what sustains you, what keeps you going, what is of ultimate worth to you so much so that doubting it is felt at the core of who you are.
Yesterday my lack of sleep coupled with worry and a heavy dose of doubt. Mostly doubt in myself which I struggle with in my life. It is one of my growing edges. Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? I am thinking that I am not the only one who struggles with this. After all most of the positive affirmation messages out there reminds us that we are enough, that we can lean in, that we need to trust that we need to take that leap of faith. We just need to believe enough to leap. We need to have faith that we are enough. I think most of us at some time or another wrestle with this kind of doubt. For some it can be paralyzing at least for a time. Even when we have wrestled with, worked our way through, for some of us given the right set of conditions – like some stress and lack of sleep – it rears its ugly head. So while doubt is necessary and can even be empowering, it can also be paralyzing. For me doubting in myself, can lead to doubt about my own faith … the faith that says ‘all will be well’ … another way to express it is that I start to lose hope.
Rachel Held Evans, one of my favorite bloggers and authors, wrote about doubt on her blog recently. She said "I don’t always tell you about the mornings I wake up and feel the absence of God as though it were a presence—thick and certain, remembered all over again the way you remember in the morning that someone you love has died.” I have felt that kind of doubt; that kind of wondering if God really does hear my prayers and if God even cares. One of the great things about the saints and mystics of the Catholic Church is how many of them spoke about doubt, about the dark night of the soul, about the absence of God. Parker Palmer spoke about it in his books. Overwhelming doubt, the loss or shattering in what I have put my faith can be devastating.
Doubt is also essential. As Adams points out in our reading, not all faith is helpful and some is even harmful. Doubt can strengthen our faith. We can come out the other side. Our faith and our very selves changed. Another writer James Hollis tells us that doubt can lead to revelation. Hollis writes, "To bear the anxiety of doubt is to be led to openness; openness leads to revelation; revelation leads to discovery; discovery leads to enlargement." (Hollis, 220) When we embrace the anxiety of doubt, not run from it, not suppress it but embrace it then we can allow our faith to deepen, to transform.
While at the time it felt devastating and like my entire world was falling apart when doubt in many of the essentials in my Catholic upbringing emerged, it led me to a deeper sense of faith. As I realized I could not remain with integrity a Roman Catholic, my faith deepened and was less about what I was raised to believe and more about who I am and what I believe. My faith at that moment stopped being something handed down to me, unexamined, accepted somewhat uncritically to a deeper examined faith. The kind of faith James Luther Adams tells us is the only one worth having. Throughout my adult life, I have continued to examine faith, my own faith, our UU faith, being curious about the faith of others.
Maybe for some of you there is a similar story; a story of no longer being able to hold on to the faith of your childhood. Maybe for you, your faith was shattered as illness or disability left you unable to do things you loved to do or that you assumed you would one day be able to do leaving you wondering you who are if you can no longer do these things. Maybe it came as children grew up and left home and no longer needed you to be their parent in that day to day way and you had to find a new way to be a parent, to fill your days. Maybe it came as jobs were lost or careers changed, leaving you with a sense of lost identity. Maybe it was the loss of a loved one whose absence left the world a lonely place. Living an authentic full life will mean that we will change, our faith will be shattered and we will have to begin again. Not everyone can handle or make the journey; for some the shattering of their faith is something they cannot recover from. Hopefully we do not make this journey alone but have trusted companions, spiritual practices, a faith community because others have traveled this journey before us and we don’t have to do it alone. I hope this community serves as a place to recover from doubt, from what might seem the ripping apart of our lives and our faith … a place for re-imagining and re-building that which grounds us and is most sacred to us.
Faith in something bigger than ourselves, call that God or to quote Adams “that which ultimately connects humans “ or “that which we should put our confidence in” can ground our lives, give meaning. It can inspire us to use our lives to heal and not to harm. Unexamined faith, blindly accepted faith, faith that claims it is without doubt, can do great harm; can lead to judgment, to a disregard for those who do not share the person’s “faith.” It can lead to forcing oneself into an uncritical belief in someone or something. As Adams tells us in the reading, fascism was not just a party or political persuasion it was a religion - a system that demanded unexamined, uncritical faith. We know where this uncritical acceptance of faith led - it led to war, genocide, devastation to all of life.
What is it for you that is bigger than yourself? What words would you use to describe it? Maybe another way to ask is where do you find the holy, the sacred. Do you find it in nature like some of the children did in our story? Do you find it looking in the mirror or in the faces of others? I know for me I see the face of God whenever I look into the eyes of my daughter, my spouse, all those I love. Do you experience mystery but are you unsure to call it God?
Faith requires doubt – it requires us to doubt because when we get too certain about it, it ceases to be faith. Yet too much doubt and we are paralyzed, unable to take a stand, unable to act. As Unitarian Universalists we embrace doubt. We say “come, come, whoever you are”. Come even though you don’t have it all figured out. Yet we as UU’s have seen the paralyzing power of doubt; the endless debates and word crafting– writing beautiful words but never taking action. Waiting for certainty, waiting to make sure everyone is on board. Yet that kind of waiting, doubting is paralyzing – it is not the kind of doubt that leads to deeper faith, to enlargement – it simply leads to more doubt waiting for certainty; an assurance that we are right and won’t fail. At some point we have to stop waiting, stop talking, and leap. Yes we may get it wrong but that too can strengthen us, change us, transform us.

I got home last night and I was all excited for today's simbang gabi. I pondered on what to wear, what time to wake up, etc. I loaded up my bag with clothes for my afternoon jogging session, prepared things needed for tomorrow, etc… I was all anxious, and excited to hear mass ala simbang gabi style. Every year, me and my sis got up every dawn to hear the mass held for nine days til christmas day. It has been like that for about 4 consecutive years now. It has become a devotion.
Just this morning, after barely five hours of rest, I woke at around 02:00AM. I pondered on whether to prepare for a hot bath since the water is extremely cold. Well, the church is only a walking distance from our place, so I passed the bath time until I got back home after the mass. We left the house at around 02:30AM, and walked to the church. It was misty and cold. There were still people outside: some were MWSS workers hurriedly finishing their excavation before commuters arrive, gamers at the internet cafes who have barely slept yet more alive and kicking, drivers trying to steal a nap before the rush hour comes, etc…. But wait! where are all the mass goers???
My heart was throbbing fast! Is it Dec 16 today? Did I miss the calendar? Is it just the fifteenth? What time does the mass start again? Where are all the people???
Rant #1: Ooopss! The church missed the first day of the novena??
My sister and I managed to pass by the cafe, the bakery, and around the church perimeter. Why has the church not opened yet?? It was about 03:00AM already and nobody was opening the church yet, but why? Isn't it that the mass starts at 03:30AM? Hmmm… I have already gone hungry, thirsty and sweaty because of walking and too much wondering.. Why? ..what a nice start.. I should have chosen to bathe.. haha..
Even though the church was late to open its gates to its devotees, people were still eager to hear mass. I saw pregnant women, young children, teenagers, adults of various careers all waiting to start their day right.. and ah, well, that includes us (my sister and I).
Rant #2: The church shows signs of austerity.
The church is a very humble, yet beautiful abode of worship, as it always was for me. Every year, as I hear mass during the simbang gabi novena, I watch out for improvements of the church.. in appearance, in service, in ambiance, etc.. It is to my dismay that I found that the same decors were used as last year. The kneelers are getting worser in state, the fans were never working, the lights–faulty, etc.
Indeed, the church showed signs of austerity.
Rave #2: The later it gets, the more people came.
As we were waiting for the mass to begin, more people came in. We saw some of our 'streetmates', familiar faces, families going to mass, couples, teenagers, etc… The christmas spirit is not yet dead.
Rant #3: Where were the usual mass goers?
Even as we saw many people come in, we noticed that the usual mass goers were not around. It saddenned me to not see them around. They have always been inspiring to us because they never miss a day in the 9 day novena.
Simbang gabi. Ding dong. Ding dong. This is the first thing that Father Reggie said when he started his lecture. Corny, but nonetheless catching.
Though quite true, most of the simbang gabi goers desire to have some wish/dream they have to come true. Father Reggie called it the 'bulong/sumbong'. While the people desire more, they also promise more to GOD. But if we get our wish to come true, will be also be true to our promises? I too am guilty of that sometimes. But as he said this, I thought about it.. I do have something in mind that I want to ask from GOD, but my promise to HIM–to be of service to my loved ones was never broken.
He relayed a short story about a young boy who was missing. His mother went in panic looking for him and asked the help of their priest for prayers. While in the church, praying, they heard a noise outside. They ran quickly only to find that the missing boy was happily playing with a cart where a baby was inside it. This baby was Jesus. The young boy explained that he asked GOD to influence Santa Claus to give him a cart, and promised to take Jesus for a 'joy ride' around the church perimeter.
So, we must also be willing to fulfill our promises to HIM, as HE never fails to fulfill our needs in the best way possible.
Christmas is a festival of lights.
Austerity. Economy. Politics. I'm sure you got the point, but the light I was talking about must come from us. As the Holy Gospel was about John the Baptist, the lesson was to be the light for others. Father said that light is an acronym. Live In Generosity, Holiness, and Truth. Christmas should be a time of giving that comes from the heart. We must also live in the likeness of GOD and be holy. And most important of all was to live in and uphold Truth.
Rant #4: Did you fart??
I have always been a serious person during mass. I don't talk while hearing mass, I try my best to sing, and I always reply to 'Amen's, etc.. I was quite involved in the lecture, not minding people around me, not bothering to look at anyone, or to fiddle something, etc. when I smelled something. I hate it when this happens. The girl at my right side (since my sis was at my left), kept on farting for like every three minutes. I swear, I took it with all patience, but darn, I cannot not rant about it! It was so distracting. I did not bath that morning, but sure did brush my teeth, change my clothing, washed my face and made sure I was smelling clean. Thank GOD, after saying 'Peace be with you', I really made 'peace..' sigh.. (coz she left already) hehe..
Of course, I would not end this writing with a rant. Tomorrow is another day of simbang gabi. As I prayed for my own intentions, I did not forget a prayer for a friend in need. See you again for tomorrow's lecture. Possibly, tomorrow won't be a list of rants and raves.

Does the import and export business interest you? Do you think you can make money by starting your own company? Before you make the decision to become your own boss, review these important tips about doing well in this business.
1. Contact your taxation division prior to sending in your documentation. You want to make sure that everything you have done is on the “up and up.” The taxation department can instruct you on what you need to do to file your documents and will provide you with the registration numbers you need. You may also need to set up a limited company also.
2. Depending on the country, embassies and consulates may give out information online about foreign goods. Simply go to embassy sites and look for information on the manufacturers. Search for embassies in the capital, but keep in mind that consulates are often found in a number of cities.
3. A trade barrier is known as an embargo. For instance, the United States and Cuba have an embargo. Never assume that you can send goods to and from a country. First, communicate with the government to determine whether any trade barriers exist. In addition, speak to the embassy to figure out whether you are restricted when it comes to the goods that you can ship.
4. Some countries require you to be licensed. Some do not. If your country has this requirement, take care of this well ahead of time so that you are ready when your business is ready. In most cases, you would only need a license to work with hazardous materials or pharmaceuticals. Still, always do your research so you are aware.
5. Establish a relationship with a customs broker so that you can get your paperwork taken care of correctly. It is possible to do this by yourself, but any mistakes will cause issues for your business.
6. There are certain words that you should understand that are related to the business that you are in. These are known as incoterms. If you want to study up, visit the website for The International Chamber of Commerce..
7. Exporting can be complicated, so it is best to look up how shipping and customs handling works ahead of time. If you are confused about something, do not be afraid to speak up. The more you learn, the better off you will be.
8. When it comes to trading with other countries, Letters of Credit are very important if you want to get paid. You get one of these from the bank, and it shows the company that you are buying from that they will get paid as soon as your order comes in.
You can make a lot of money through importing and exporting. However, it is not the easiest business to break into. Still, if you do your research, the entire process will not seem as daunting.

Glendale is a beautiful city located in Southern California and has great places like the Verdugo mountains where people go hiking; there are great shopping malls where you can do all your shopping and also great neighborhoods of homes managed by Home Owner Associations (HOA).
People living in multi-family homes in Glendale sometimes require roofing services due to the damages that occur during the rainy and summer seasons. You would all agree with me that finding a reliable roofing company is not easy as it requires you to pay attention to various factors before you hire that company. Here are some great tips that I would like to share with you before you sign any contract.
Roofing job requires being handled by a person who has knowledge and skills regarding the different roof types. Some of these roofing methods include flat roofing, tiles and also metal roofing. A well-experienced roofer should be able to solve any problem in any of the listed roofs be it a leakage or other damages. Some customers may also want to change their roofing if it has stayed for long and therefore before you settle on any company, make sure they have enough experience on how to install or repair your roof. A good roofing business should have been in the roofing industry for over five years.
Some people may not pay attention choosing a company that is insured, but it is very crucial. First of all, for a company to acquire an insurance premium, they must have been around for a long time which guarantees you that they have experience in roofing. Also, insurance is essential in the case where an accident or damage to your property happens since the company will be able to cover for either the medical or the damage costs. So to be on clear side choose a company that has an insurance premium.
You need a company that has excellent services but at the same time have a good relationship with you. It is quite easy for you to determine if it would be easy to work with that particular company from how they relate to you in the office and reply to your emails or phone calls. So choose a company that has excellent customer services, open-minded and has a positive attitude.
Choose a roofing contractor who has a variety of roofing options for you. This can be determined regarding the material, the type of the roof and also the costs. Even if you have a great idea regarding the kind of roofing you want for your house, such a roofer can advise you on a much better roofing options since he has the knowledge and knows the pros and cons of each roofing type.
If you need a company that has all the above traits and more, hire us today, and we will help you to take care of your roof. We offer high-quality services, and we value our customer’s money hence our services are pocket-friendly.

HOUSTON, March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Meet Dr. Peter Isikwe, author of the children's book series Jack's Awesome Adventure (www.jacksawesomeadventure.com). Peter introduces a unique style of education and imagination into his writing while splashing diversity and hip-hop into it as well. Peter has recently finished his latest children's book in his educational book series, and now is turning it into a cartoon series for young children to view everywhere. Dr. Isikwe's book series is full of imagination and creativity for early readers. He's had a chance to tour across the US, Nigeria and even London for his last book while working with educators, teachers, and librarians amongst the few. Peter turned in my mortar & pestle and white coat to pursue his passion for writing children's book. For those who do not what that is, pharmacist use it to make drug products.
"My diverse background and cultured upbringing even my love of hip hop gave way to my interesting obsession with literacy and education. The three have been instrumental in my life. Writing has always been a passion of mind. I enjoy writing books that provoke children's sense of curiosity. Turning the book series into a cartoon series will be very exciting. Reading can stimulate imagination and adding education to it makes that event of reading more memorable for the young reader," Peter says.
Leading by example for the culture was paramount for Peter growing up. The book series also helps to provide a resource to educators and parents that can be used in literacy. Diversity and culture are what Peter wanted to introduce to children's literature. Dr. Isikwe plans on doing that in his writing, more importantly he plans on giving children a new outlook on reading. Jack's Awesome Adventure is a children's book that engages emerging readers to use their imagination as they join Jack on his awesome adventure. Peter stresses that we owe it to our youth to place an importance on reading early in life.
Peter states, "My whole experience is interesting, because most people where kind of shocked that I'm an author. Reading and education for me, was always seen in high praise. My next book in the Jack's Awesome Adventure series comes out later this year. Breaking down barriers of misconceptions of people that look like me is a blessing; being the face of a new movement in hip-hop that not only encourages diverse intellectuals but creates avenues of spreading positive message to the youth is what I am most proud of."

Marcus Lemonis is putting money on the great American pastime.
The CEO of Lincolnshire-based Camping World and star of CNBC’s “The Profit” has joined former GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush in bidding for the Florida Marlins baseball team.
Also part of that bidding group: Tagg Romney, son of another former presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, and New York-based investor Wayne Rothbaum.
Lemonis is a natural to invest in the Marlins as he grew up in Florida and sits on University of Miami’s board.
He and Bush face a few competitors in their bid for the Marlins, according to reports that put the team’s asking price at $1.3 billion. Other bidders include Jorge Mas, chairman of construction company MasTec, and retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.
If successful, Lemonis would join an elite group of Chicago executives who have stakes in baseball teams outside of Illinois.
Tops on the list is Mark Walter, CEO of financial services company Guggenheim Partners. He’s the major owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
John Canning Jr. of Madison Dearborn Partners (and chairman of Sun-Times parent Wrapports LLC) has an 11 percent stake in the Milwaukee Brewers.
Chicago philanthropist Lester Crown is among the owners of the New York Yankees.
Also Milton Carroll, chairman of Health Care Service Corp., the parent of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois (Houston Astros); Gary McCullough, CEO of ARI Packaging in Alsip (Cincinnati Reds); and Bill Bartholomay, a retired insurance tycoon (Atlanta Braves).
Mike Koldyke, a private-equity guy who founded the Golden Apple Foundation, and John Mabie, who founded Mid-Continent Capital, have stakes in minor league teams in New Mexico and Mississippi along with Canning.
Chris Kennedy had to break it to his family that he wouldn’t be joining them for July 4 festivities on Cape Cod.
Instead, he’s marching in parades to promote his bid for governor of Illinois.
“His family was like ‘Wait a minute,’” an aide said.
The Kennedys have for years come together on the Cape to sail and celebrate Kennedy and his sister Kathleen Kennedy Townsend’s birthdays. They were both born July 4: he in 1963, she a few years earlier.
Former U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk recently attended his 40th reunion for the of New Trier East class of 1977.
“He was in great spirits and stayed to the end. People wanted to get pictures with him,” said Erin McCarthy, an associate professor of history at Columbia College. Politics wasn’t part of the mix.
Another politico turning heads at the reunion: National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers.
They all noshed on Lou Malnati’s Pizza, Portillo’s hot dogs, Pita Inn pitas and Homer’s Ice Cream.
The class donated $750 to the Trotter Project, which gives scholarships to culinary students. It’s named after the late Chef Charlie Trotter, who was a classmate.
Side note: Mayor Rahm Emanuel graduated in 1977 from New Trier West, archrival of New Trier East. The schools merged in the 1980s.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson has returned from two overseas trips. He was the keynote speaker at the opening of the Museum of Free Derry, which honors Northern Ireland’s civil rights movement.
A day and a half after returning to Chicago, Jackson flew to France for the Cannes Lions Creativity Festival. There, he spoke about diversity in the boardroom.
Now Jackson is gearing up for the Rainbow Push Convention July 12-15 at the Hilton Chicago.
“The city is more family friendly so we opened on weekends,” said Dan Raskin, the fourth-generation owner of the Near West Side haven for meat lovers.
This year, Manny’s celebrates 75 years in business and the Raskins are marking the occasion by offering a cookbook featuring much-loved recipes such as stuffed cabbage, matzo balls and chopped liver. They’ve been tested for regular kitchens by Raskin’s mom, Patti Raskin.
Ken Raskin, Dan’s dad, says he had to be nudged to open Sundays.
“It was the one day we had as a family,” he said.
The changing clientele made it necessary. “Traders stopped trading, the produce market moved and the guys who would come in and eat a big breakfast all retired,” Dan Raskin said.
Manny’s has also expanded its salad bar. “It’s what people want,” Dan Raskin said. And the restaurant hosts private parties — even weddings.
Nothing says romance like pastrami.

Several methods have been proposed to apply artificial neural networks to text compression in the past. However, the networks and targets are both limited to the small size due to hardware capability in the past. Modern GPUs have much better calculation capability than CPUs in an order of magnitude now, even though CPUs have become faster. It becomes possible now to train greater and complex neural networks in a shorter time. This paper proposed a method to transform the distribution of original data with a probabilistic neural predictor. Experiments were performed on a feedforward neural network and a recurrent neural network with gated-recurrent units. The recurrent neural network model outperformed feedforward network in compression rate and prediction accuracy.

Custodial trainees alert their instructors to industry's future needs.
Five instructors at the City College of San Francisco, CA, have been training Bay area cleaning workers for over 30 years. The students include trainees and experienced cleaning workers pursuing other industry opportunities.
The course emphasizes cleaning procedures, chemical use, tools, equipment, workplace safety, building security, and professional conduct. The study of economics is also part of the curriculum. Based on student input, the instructors compiled a list of 10 issues or concerns they believe will be of growing concern in the next decade and how to handle them.
Cleaning and facility managers and their employees should be aware of the potential risks of blood and human waste cleanups. The issue led the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to draft its Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.
Some custodians still clean restrooms without wearing gloves or other protective equipment, and they have various methods for cleaning potentially hazardous spills instead of one approved policy.
Concern about bloodborne diseases seems to be fading in some areas, yet the risks are still too great to ignore. Managers who don’t properly train their cleaning workers are open to liability. Insurance carriers and OSHA will not tolerate lax standards.
Back injuries in the cleaning/maintenance industry are common, so managers should review proper lifting methods with their workers. There are new cleaning tools and products that can minimize back strains or pulls: water buckets that drain without lifting, trash containers that empty more easily, mop wringers that minimize strain when wringing a mop, etc.
Cleaning workers increasingly suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive motions. Workers’ wrists, arms, and elbows can suffer from the stress of repetitive use of cleaning equipment and methods.
An effective preventive program depends on using ergonomically designed tools and equipment, and providing proper training in their use.
As the pressure increases to do more cleaning with fewer workers, more efficient equipment must be used. Self-propelled automatic scrubbers and propane-powered floor-care equipment, for example, can slash labor needs.
But the technology may carry with it some adverse effects from use of equipment powered by propane, battery, or some other fuel. Storage and operation safety must be addressed. The goal is to save time and labor, but it’s important not to ignore potential dangers to operators and the public.
There are two theories on specialty cleaning.
1) Every cleaning operator should be a generalist because customers don’t want to contract out specialty cleaning work.
2) Operators should avoid being generalists and emphasize a cleaning specialty to attract clients and improve their expertise.
Managers will pay more attention to areas that were once delegated to higher priced specialty companies. Economics doesn't allow for exorbitant profits on specialty cleaning items. The client will eventually find a cleaning service that performs quality specialty work at reasonable prices.
The cleaning maintenance industry has made strides in promoting a professional image. As the wage gap widens between the unskilled worker and the trained custodian, customers will expect a professional cleaning technician to service their buildings. Cleaning workers will have to be neat and clean, be expert at their job, and be able to interact professionally with customers, occupants, and the public.
The cost of carrying out cleaning services has traditionally taken precedence to worker demeanor, appearance and training for customers and facility owners. But a competitive cleaning industry requires workers to be skilled, courteous, and personable. Managers will have to take into consideration these desired worker characteristics when interviewing potential employees.
Lead paint poses health threats to humans and can lead to lawsuits. Cleaning workers don’t have to be lead paint removal specialists, but their managers should determine lead hazards that may exist in the cleaning workplace.
Dry dusting of lead-based paint is a way to create health hazards for employees, visitors, or tenants. Cleaning and facility managers must not let their workers remodel or paint over lead-paint surfaces unless proper safety procedures are implemented.
Asbestos dust is a carcinogenic hazard requiring immediate attention and notification to anyone exposed to it. Custodians working around asbestos must take every precaution to protect themselves while cleaning. The building owner or manager must take steps to protect all occupants.
An integrated pest management (IPM) program is designed to reduce the use of toxic sprays and chemicals, yet maintain an effective pest control operation.
Cleaning workers should be a vital part of any IPM program because they’re often asked to eliminate the pest problem. They’re often told by their managers to monitor potential infestations and to apply the chemicals to eradicate pests.
Training in the use of potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals can reduce injuries and ensure the correct product is used. There will be little tolerance for poor training or lack of training in this area over the next decade. Failure to train will increase the risk for liability.
Complaints from customers and tenants about dust, odors, pests, poor ventilation, irritating cleaning chemicals, allergic reactions, and faulty cleaning methods add up to what has become known as sick building syndrome.
It forces managers to become more experienced in analyzing complaints and to provide training to custodians to clean critical areas where disease or chemical reactions may spread.
