Tough, instinctive ball carrier with average speed. Effectively uses blocks, keeps his feet moving and works runs. Grinds it out on the inside, falls forward when tackled and uses an effective straight arm to keep opponents away. Solid receiver out of the backfield and effectively helps the quarterback sell ball fakes. Displays terrific vision and wherewithal in his total game.
Marginal athlete who displays limited speed and quickness. Really cannot turn the corner. Doesn't make defenders miss.
Laird was a solid college skill player as both a ball carrier and a pass catcher but lacks the pure computer numbers for the next level. He plays with a special-teams mentality, which could help him find a roster spot as a fourth running back.

Follow the sun this winter with award deals from Delta's Boston, New York and Seattle hubs
Liz Savadelis
Looking to plan a getaway this winter? Delta Air Lines has your back. The airline is offering historically low award deals from its Seattle hub and some of its best deals of the year from its hubs in Boston and New York to popular sun destinations.
"With temperatures starting to drop around the country, now is the time to think about where you want to warm up this winter," said Paul Baldoni, Delta's Vice President – Domestic Pricing and Revenue Management. "We're kick-starting your planning with some of our lowest fares of the year and more flights to destinations with plenty of sun."
Customers in Seattle can choose to sunbathe in places like Palm Springs or Orlando, explore the outdoors in Phoenix or Tucson, or enjoy the activity and mild weather of Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego. Customers in Boston and New York have the option of several destinations in Florida, including Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach. Delta flights to these destinations feature First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin seating; free entertainment on seat-back screens or a personal device through Delta Studio; free messaging and Wi-Fi for purchase, among other amenities.
Award deals start at 5,000 miles (+taxes and fees) roundtrip from Seattle and 9,000 miles (+taxes and fees) roundtrip from Boston and New York. See sample fares from each city at the following links. Additional bag fees and terms apply.
Boston, New York, and Seattle are three of Delta's fastest-growing hubs, and Delta continues to invest in its network in each of the markets.
Delta continues to be Seattle's fastest-growing carrier, having added nearly 100 new departures and more than doubled the number of peak-day seats offered since 2014. This winter, Delta's expanded service from Seattle to leisure destinations includes new daily year-round service to Bozeman, Mont.* starting Dec. 21; new daily year-round service to Tampa beginning on Mar. 11; more flights to Hawaii and Orlando; larger aircraft operating flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix; expanded access to popular destinations in the southwest like Palm Springs, Calif., San Diego, and Tucson, Ariz.; and convenient flights to Mexico beach resorts Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun.
In Boston, recently designated as Delta's newest hub, the airline in December will launch twice-daily service to Miami and add new daily frequencies to Orlando, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale; Delta will also increase seasonal service to New Orleans and Sarasota. Meanwhile, customers looking for an island getaway can make use of Delta's nonstop seasonal flights to Aruba, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas throughout the winter months.
And in New York, Delta operates over 140 flights per week to 14 Caribbean destinations from its JFK hub, including a new daily flight to Bogota, Colombia, and an additional daily flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico, beginning Dec. 21. Service launched in 2018 includes Antigua, Antigua & Barbuda; Kingston, Jamaica; a second daily flight to Nassau, The Bahamas; and new Saturday service to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The airline also launched new service between JFK and Houston on Oct. 27, and will return to Mumbai, India, starting on Dec. 22.
*Operated by Delta Connection carriers SkyWest Airlines or Compass Airlines.

Some say this is the best driving 4×4 in the market currently. To be fair this isn't a wild assertion to come up with. Sharing a platform with Audi Q5, the Porsche Macan has some of the tech and parts that make its sister brand a force to be reckoned with. However, make no doubt about it, the Macan has been revised to meet Porsche's very high standards and establishes its own very unique identity. Just below the Cayenne in size the Macan offers a more compact package.
With the recent SUV crazed car buying consumers, it was only logical for automakers to have a larger catalogue of the crossovers they offered. Another company that has taken to this trend is Audi, who have a very large catalogue of SUVs all badged with a Q. One of its most recent entrant to this line is the Audi Q5, which is meant to compete with the likes of the Evoque and the Macan. Aging rather gracefully, the Q5 is expected to receive another facelift around the end of this year.

Lincoln, Neb (KGFW) – Senators once again could not find common ground when it came to the state budget. With only 11 more scheduled days on the legislative calendar and many other issues still looming over the senators heads, it was thought that cooler heads would prevail and a budget would be passed. Governor Pete…
Boston I think in my opinion is a great classic rock band because Boston isn't too hard rock but just enough classic rock and rock and roll to create the perfect combo. Plus their first and second album were definitely the best. After that it was ok, with the exception of Amanda, that was a great song!
Journey may be widely loved or roundly hated, grossly underrated or quite overrated, but it's undeniable that the group has been enjoying a remarkable career that has spanned for over three decades. Charismatic front man Steve Perry and his cohorts Neal Schone and Jonathan Cain wrote some of the best-known hits in the rock arena.
Uniting Fans And Bands Across The Lands – An hour of X-rated music and mayhem from The Heart of Sherwood Forest featuring tracks you've never heard before, expressions you've never heard before and jokes you'll never want to hear again – all hosted by…
Pink Floyd's 1995 live album Pulse has been remastered and is to be reissued as a 4LP set in May: http://teamrock.com/news/2018-03-22/pink-floyds-live-1995-album-pulse-set-for-vinyl-reissue …pic.twitter.com/PzkaGvRaEe
Even in terms of fan base, the two fan bases are close in a way, although the general public has held a stereotype of heavy metal fans being suicidal, depressed and a danger to themselves and society in general. However, Adrian North, a Heriot-Watt University professor who studies genre listeners found that metal listeners were above all else creative, at ease with themselves and introverted — qualities he also found in classical listeners.[53][54]
31 Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in July 1967, in London. The band have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time.
Death metal, like thrash metal, generally rejects the theatrics of earlier metal styles, opting instead for an everyday look of ripped jeans and plain leather jackets.[223] One major exception to this rule was Deicide's Glen Benton, who branded an inverted cross on his forehead and wore armor on stage. Morbid Angel adopted neo-fascist imagery.[223] These two bands, along with Death and Obituary, were leaders of the major death metal scene that emerged in Florida in the mid-1980s. In the UK, the related style of grindcore, led by bands such as Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror, emerged from the anarcho-punk movement.[219]
Choice Classic Rock is a commercial-free online Radio Station – featuring music from the Classic Rock decades – including all the hits and lots of deep tracks. It is free – with no catch of any kind – just great music! Listen now and you'll hear Classic Rock – like you've never heard it before …
The high-powered Speed of Sound Band knows how to turn dull parties into exciting events. With a fresh, creative take on classic rock tunes as well as the most popular dance hits of today, this is one fun band that will have you dancing 'till your feet hurt. Crowds can't sit still once Speed of Sound gets their mojo working.
The classic uniform of heavy metal fans consists of light colored, ripped frayed or torn blue jeans, black T-shirts, boots, and black leather or denim jackets. Deena Weinstein writes, "T-shirts are generally emblazoned with the logos or other visual representations of favorite metal bands."[71] In the 1980s, a range of sources, from punk and goth music to horror films, influenced metal fashion.[72] Many metal performers of the 1970s and 1980s used radically shaped and brightly colored instruments to enhance their stage appearance.[73][74]
For instance, the song "Going For The One" was a good song and had moderate success on the radio during that time. YES had a whole host of songs with similar recognition, which is more than most of the bands on this list.
Between 1983 and 1984, heavy metal went from an 8 percent to a 20 percent share of all recordings sold in the U.S.[192] Several major professional magazines devoted to the genre were launched, including Kerrang! (in 1981) and Metal Hammer (in 1984), as well as a host of fan journals. In 1985, Billboard declared, "Metal has broadened its audience base. Metal music is no longer the exclusive domain of male teenagers. The metal audience has become older (college-aged), younger (pre-teen), and more female".[193]
43 Ozzy Osbourne John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is known as "The Prince of Darkness". Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath …read more.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a prime example of 1970s' progressive rock. Written by vocalist/pianist Freddy Mercury and performed by Queen, the song is a six-minute suite, including an operatic passage, of all things, and multiple key and tempo changes, and may be the most original of all songs on this stellar list. Not surprisingly, after released, "Bohemian Rhapsody" hit the top of the UK Singles Chart, selling more than nine million copies and kicked butt in the US as well. Astonishingly, the song was re-released in 1992, after the death of Mercury, and did almost as well then. Then in 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. This awesome song is a prime example of the astonishing range of expression in rock and roll!
Led Zeppelin defined central aspects of the emerging genre, with Page's highly distorted guitar style and singer Robert Plant's dramatic, wailing vocals.[155] Other bands, with a more consistently heavy, "purely" metal sound, would prove equally important in codifying the genre. The 1970 releases by Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath and Paranoid) and Deep Purple (In Rock) were crucial in this regard.[115]
By the mid-1980s, glam metal was a dominant presence on the U.S. charts, music television, and the arena concert circuit. New bands such as L.A.'s Warrant and acts from the East Coast like Poison and Cinderella became major draws, while Mötley Crüe and Ratt remained very popular. Bridging the stylistic gap between hard rock and glam metal, New Jersey's Bon Jovi became enormously successful with its third album, Slippery When Wet (1986). The similarly styled Swedish band Europe became international stars with The Final Countdown (1986). Its title track hit number 1 in 25 countries.[194] In 1987, MTV launched a show, Headbanger's Ball, devoted exclusively to heavy metal videos. However, the metal audience had begun to factionalize, with those in many underground metal scenes favoring more extreme sounds and disparaging the popular style as "light metal" or "hair metal".[195]

Lead vocalist Jon Bon Jovi admired the heroes of the Old West, even the anti-heroes or outlaws, which he likened to rockers who traveled about the country, living the wild life in all the towns and cities where they performed. So he and Richie Sambora wrote the song "Wanted Dead or Alive," which became Bon Jovi's anthem. Released on the album, Slippery When Wet, "Wanted Dead or Alive" along with "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Never Say Goodbye" all soared to the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot 100, the first hard rock album to have three top singles. Not bad for Bon Jovi, a so-called Hair Metal band!

Ωστόσο το ύφος σου στα σχόλια ήταν έντονα επικριτικό κι επιθετικό. Φυσικά και δέχομαι διορθώσεις και προτάσεις, αλλά ισχύουσες, όχι προσωπικές γνώμες. Επίσης, αφαιρέθηκαν σχόλια που ήταν άσχετα με τη συλλογή και θα παρακαλούσα, γενικά, τα σχόλια να είναι όλα επί του θέματος κι όχι πολεμική αρένα μεταξύ χρηστών.
What's the recipe for becoming one of the Top 100 classic rock artists? It takes sweeping influence, longevity, groundbreaking importance and a certain indelible quality. But being a huge presence doesn't necessarily mean that all of these qualities must be present at once.
35? You're joking right? This band is one of and will always be one of the greatest Rock bands out there. I literally cringed when I saw this at 35. This band is better than most that are higher up in this chart. With songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Unforgiven, Wnter Sandman, whiskey in the jar and covers such as Am I evil? And Tuesdays Gone this band seems to be FAR MORE UNDERRATED than it should be. Outstanding vocals, Bass, guitar and drums I see no reason why this band isn't a great one. Metallica!
Whether Classic Rock earns summertime honors or not, it continues to defy format logic by maintain strong shares in all demos – 6+, 25-54, and amazingly, those 18-34s. Here's the updated chart from Nielsen, tacking the format each June in metered markets:
Treble Hook is the party band you definitely want for your event. Playing upbeat rock/pop songs from the 80's to today, Treble Hook will keep the party going all night long. Live band karaoke is also a fun way to get your guests involved in the fun. The person singing will have a video screen with the lyrics right on them, and a live band right behind them. With a very diverse song list, Treble Hook can also do events that require more themes like: 70's disco party, classic/southern rock… (more)

Ioan Chezan.

Tot în cadrul liceului își desfășoară activitatea și corul "Camerata Academica Porolissensis", înființat și dirijat până în prezent de Ioan Chezan, acesta a fost fondat încă din primii ani de existență a învățământului cu profil vocațional din Sălaj.

The power of and: Bonnie and Clyde. Chocolate and peanut butter. Bert and Ernie. They just go together, right? The "and" works because we know (or have at least learned from others) that they fit together. You can have one without the other but most would say neither would be quite as good or complete.
"And" is good. "And" is how it should be.
But sometimes in life, we encounter circumstances that simultaneously press on both joy and sadness, hope and fear, relief and great grief. Emotions that don't feel like they should go together.
You just had a baby; you are excited to be a mom and also really sad to lose the independence and freedom you used to have. You have a workaholic dad who doesn't always have time for you; you love and respect him and have also been really hurt by him. Your spouse just lost a long battle with cancer; you are devastated by the loss and also relieved that you are no longer overwhelmed by being the 24/7 caregiver.
Emotions that don't feel like they should go together. And in the midst of trying to make sense of them, we hear those voices in our head (or perhaps very audibly from those around us) that only one side of that "and" is the acceptable response or proper set of emotions to feel given the circumstance you are walking through. The way you "should" feel. So the other, very real side of the "and" gets stuffed down inside with a sufficient dose of shame heaped on top. It's not allowed to be felt or talked about or acknowledged with anyone. What would they think if they knew? How can both of these seemingly conflicting feelings be real?
For those of you who resonate with this, what would it look like for you to allow yourself to sit in the tension between your "and"? To be honest with yourself to see that you are feeling both the "acceptable" response to your circumstance as well as the "unacceptable" or less acknowledged response. And to give yourself room to feel both sides of your "and". To grieve where there is sadness and identify what has been lost. To rejoice where there is goodness or something gained. And to realize that giving way to one emotion does not negate the very real experience of or reality of the other.
And when you encounter a friend experiencing an emotion that "shouldn't" be felt, I encourage you to sit and listen. To take a moment to put yourself in their shoes…really in their shoes. And consider whether you might also be feeling a similar seemingly conflict of emotions. And then give them room to experience both sides of their "and".
The power of "and" is freedom – freedom from shame, freedom to be honest, and freedom to be whole.
Parenting my children has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. The role I have taken on as "Mom" is daunting at times when I realize that it's my job to teach them how to be people – regular ole' human beings, it can often feel like one of the hardest tasks I have been given.
This is why I am extremely thankful for people like Brene' Brown and Glennon Doyle who often put into speech or writing things my mind and heart very much need when it comes to parenting. After re-listening to Brene' Brown's TED talk on vulnerability, and making my way through Glennon Doyle's book, Carry On, Warrior, there were some commonalities in what they were saying that I believe is something to keep in mind as we parent our children – We are human beings, they are human beings, and we're all in the same boat.
Here's what I mean…if you are reading this blog post then without even knowing who you are I know some things are true of you – you are a human, you make mistakes, you are not perfect even though you may want to be, relationships are hard, life is hard, and if you're honest with yourself you worry about how your kids will grow up in light of your imperfections.
It seems important that we begin to realize (and live as though it is true) that our children will invariably experience life as we do. After all, you are human and they are human, and being human means we naturally have limitations of which we have no control over.
So as parents/caregivers should we approach this reality by trying our hardest to perfect our children as best as we can? Do we really think we can keep them from experiencing the realities of what it means to be alive? The truth is that no matter how much time and energy we put forth for our children, or high expectations we place on them, our desire to make our children perfect will never reach perfection.
When it comes to our children (and really just life in general) we need to stop trying to make the uncertain things about life certain. We will never be satisfied and we will never be perfect.
What if we banded together as parents and caregivers and made a pact to no longer try to perfect our children? What if, instead, we chose to spend our time and energy teaching our children what it means to be human? Let's make them experts on what it means to be human and equip them to thrive within their human limitations.
How Do You Define Abuse?
Comments Off on How Do You Define Abuse?
With so many opinions and definitions in our culture about abuse, how do you define abuse?
Must a bruise be present for you to believe your friend or neighbor is being abused? If there is not bruising, can abuse still be happening in a home? Why is it when women sit in my office trying to share with me their story of abuse their eyes are hooked on the floor, shame is palpable in the room, words start to flow out of their mouths but then stop as though they are scared to say anything? I believe abused women are scared to say, "I'm being abused" because they are often disregarded and misunderstood.
It seems fair to say that as a culture we do not fully grasp what abuse is and the many forms it presents itself.
The following definition of abuse can be found at Crying Out For Justice. Its a little long, but please stick with me.
"Abuse is fundamentally a mentality. It is a mindset of entitlement. The abuser sees himself* as entitled. He is the center of the world, and he demands that his victim make him the center of her world. His goal is power and control over others. For him, power and control are his natural right, and he feels quite justified in using whatever means are necessary to obtain that power and control. The abuser is not hampered in these efforts by the pangs of a healthy conscience and indeed often lacks a conscience.
Was your definition similar to the one above? In my experience, we tend to think about someone who abuses as simply having an anger problem. We say, "If he would just go to an anger-management program and counseling and work hard everything will be fine." This is how I used to think, but not anymore.
I have been learning a lot about the nature of abusive men. Partly because of my own personal story and partly because I work with many who are wounded by abuse. Our society seems to think that an abuser just needs to change his behavior by going to counseling, anger-management classes, and read books (or some variation thereof).
But an abuser doesn't need to change his behavior, he needs to change his beliefs.
His fundamental thinking in which he believes he is entitled to treat his spouse however he would like. For me, this shift in thinking has monumentally changed how I view abusive men and how I care for those who have been wounded.
-An abuser isn't always abusive? He will go through days and months without being abusive. This can cause confusion on behalf of the abused.
-An abuser wants to create as much confusion as possible to those seeking to "figure him out". So he will try to get you (the abused, the counselor, the friend, the pastor) to focus in the wrong direction. Oftentimes this will look like the abuser blaming the spouse for all of the relational problems and painting himself to be the victim.
-An abuser is usually the guy everyone likes. He's easily likable, enjoyable, and can tend to come across as laid-back.
-An abuser will want you to focus on his feelings but not his thinking. He fears that if you figure out his thinking you will strip him of his power to control. Hence why he seeks to create as much confusion as possible (see above).
It is important that we begin to grasp the nature of abusers so that we can see it, stop it, and seek to bring healing.
*For this post I used the male gender to represent the abuser and the female to represent the abused. The genders could easily be reversed, and in no way am I saying it can't. Some of the above thoughts are adapted from Lundy Bancroft's book, Why Does He Do That?, which is an amazingly great book.
Comments Off on Abuse is Abuse. Period.
While the impact of abuse on a person's soul may actualize differently, we need to break free from old ways of thinking. Abuse is abuse. Period.
It never ceases to amaze me how people still seem to define what abuse is and isn't, and what abuse a person should just "put up with" for the sake of preserving the martial relationship. I once heard a mental health professional tell a client, "as long as he (the husband) isn't hitting you then you need to stick it out." This professional was saying this to a woman who had been suffering through emotional and mental abuse by her husband for over 8 years. This post is not about whether the abused should or shouldn't leave or divorce their partner when abuse of any kind is taking place – so let's not get hung up on that issue. This post is about brining awareness that abuse is happening in your community and the abused deserve more from the person they trust to disclose to then just "stick it out" or any type of response that undermines the abused. We need to listen. We need to protect. We need to advocate. But the truth is, this mental health professional's view on abuse is not uncommon in our society that demands physical and visual proof of something before its believed.
The reality is, out of the many types of abuse a person can experience, only one type (physical abuse and sometimes this remains hidden as well) will outwardly produce the physical and visible proof our society tends to want in order to believe a person is being abused.
Since we know abuse can remain hidden from us so easily, why do you think we still tend to respond to a persons disclosure of abuse with suspicion or disbelief? It is a question for us all to ponder.
Instead of responding in these ways, why not chose to BELIEVE and not question the validity of what you hear? It doesn't matter if you think their partner is or isn't capable of abusive behaviors. It doesn't matter if the abused has their own flaws in the relationship.
We are not listening to the one abused to judge them, provide excuses for the abuser, or justify abusive behavior. Abuse is wrong, but until we stop providing excuses and justifications the abused will have to continue to fight to be heard and believed.
Here are some thoughts on how to support the abused. What I am about to share with you is just a snippet out of Lundy Bancroft's book, Why Does He Do That. To learn more about each of these points please read his book. The following information can be found on pages 370-372. This book is a must read for everyone.
So you should: Be patient. Remember that it takes time for an abused woman to sort out her confusion and figure out how to handle her situation.
So you should: Address her as an equal. Avoid all traces of condescension or superior knowledge in your voice.
So you should: Treat her as the expert on her own life. Don't assume that you know what she needs to do.
So you should: Listen more and talk less.
So you should: Assume she is a competent, caring mother. Remember that there is no simple way to determine what is best for the children of an abused woman.
So you should: Think with her. Don't assume the role of teacher or rescuer. Instead, join forces with her as a respectful and equal team member.
I've been slowly making may way through Brene' Brown's book, Daring Greatly. It's a great book. It even made #1 on the New York Times bestseller list! I honestly haven't read a book written by her that I haven't fully enjoyed and learned from yet, but if I ever do I'll let you know.
When we choose to empathize with another in their suffering and/or emotion we are choosing to say, "I will not ignore your pain, your emotion, or your needs, and I am here for you." Saying something like this absolutely requires us to be vulnerable!
Choosing to empathize with another requires things from us, doesn't it? Showing empathy requires that we be vulnerable. Vulnerable with our time, emotional and mental energy, our personal comfort (or rather discomfort that can come when we become involved in another's situation), sometimes it requires that we speak into their pain and sometimes we sit in silence with our friend. In your friendships do you think its "worth" all of the things it may cost you to show empathy? Sometimes I have found that the very thing keeping people from experiencing healthy and intimate friendships is their lack of willingness to "step into" their friends lives. To show empathy.
If we choose to not show empathy to those we claim are our friends, spouse, family, etc., then we can never hope to have relational intimacy. As Brene' talks about in her book – We need to move about our relationships with COURAGE. Courage is what we need be vulnerable, which leads to our willingness to choose and risk showing empathy to another.
Courage is the first step….once we have courage nothing can stop us!
There is something quite amazing and magical about watching a persons life being transformed by the power of being loved and accepted by others – When People Love Us, We Are Transformed.
After watching Despicable Me 2 for the 6th time with my sons I started to wonder why exactly we all seem to love it so much. I mean think about it, we have watched it 6 times and the movie is 98 minutes long which puts us as having spent 588 minutes of our lives on this movie. So I started thinking – is Despicable Me 2 really worth the 588 minutes of my life I have given it? Why yes it is!
For starters, who doesn't love those Minions? Seriously, they are so cute and hilarious with all of their funny noises and behaviors. This movie has me and my sons laughing over and over again. But then I thought, "There has to be more to why we love this movie….what is it exactly?" Then it hit me.
A huge part of the story in both of the Despicable Me movies is watching Gru, the main character, learn his true identity and self-worth through being loved by others who see him for who he truly is.
We see his character go from a cold-hearted villain who is mean and is literally stealing the moon from the sky, to a man transformed by the love of three little girls he adopts in the first movie.
When we are experiencing the love of another, and I am talking about deep love that moves us – a natural response to this kind of love when never experienced before is to go on defense.
And defense, at times, looks exactly like what we see happen to Gru – the more the love of others (specifically his three daughters and the character Lucy in the second movie) challenges his current view of himself (his identity, self-worth, etc.) the more his relational fears surface. The closer Lucy gets to Gru, the more we see flashbacks to Gru's childhood. We see Gru coming up against the "demons" in his past – being made fun of, seeming unloveable to all humans, unaccepted, and fearing rejection. It appears that the more he is loved and delighted in by his daughters and Lucy, who ultimately becomes Gru's wife by the end of this movie, the more his "demons" seem to rear their heads. Ultimately Gru has to choose to trust their love of him, embrace the changed man he has become, and no longer allow the "demons" of his past to rule his current life.
These movies do an excellent job of showing us how love can profoundly transform us if we risk letting it in.
Recently, my wife and I visited the town in Massachusetts where we spent our honeymoon. It's just a little fisherman's village, but it brought back so many memories of our first year together. One might assume that it made me nostalgic for that "honeymoon period" when we had no kids, no problems, and our whole life ahead of us. And it did. But I also remembered how difficult that first year was.
No one ever told me that learning to live with another person would be so difficult. And if they did I ignored them, because we were young and in love. Why would we ever argue? We're soul mates.
So I was surprised to learn during that first year that my wife is very different than me. We have different interests, different values, different ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, different views of money and conflict, and different ways of eating cereal. Because she was different than what I grew up with, I assumed that her differences were wrong, bad, or illogical. I remember going for walks with her in some of the old neighborhoods in U. City, talking about the things a young seminarian thinks important. I'd be in the middle of what I thought a life-changing idea, when she would stop me and make me observe a bed of flowers, an idyllic home, or the sun descending with the most beautiful shade of orange. I was so frustrated. Why didn't she think like me? What was wrong with her? I tried to convince her to be more like me. That did not go over well at all. Then I remembered the saying I shared with you earlier, "Different isn't bad, it's just not the same." I dwelt on this thought.
What if the things that are different about my wife are not only acceptable but are very good? What if my wife and I are custom made for each other and our individual qualities are meant to shape us into more whole, balanced, and fully functioning human beings?
I developed a new assumption: who my wife is now is very good.
With this new assumption in mind, I began to act upon it. I slowly began to receive my wife's differences not as trials to bear but as gifts to be enjoyed. I tried to allow that person to shine through, to learn from her.
The result has been life changing.
I'm not convinced that I'm any better at marriage, but I appreciate who my wife is. And in a small way I am becoming a more balanced, whole, and fully functioning human being. I believe that learning to embrace the beauty of who she is right now helped make my second trip to Massachusetts even better than the first.
Caring for people and being cared for by others is a tricky business. Wouldn't you agree? I recently read an article from the LA Times that reminded me of how hard it can be to care. Some do it better than others, but then there are others out there who feel like they are continually putting their foot in their mouths.
Regardless of if you are an expert care-giver or in need of some guidance I think you may enjoy this article. I would love to know what you think after you read it so don't be shy!

Today is Sunday and its just before 10AM. 10AM is when my church starts yet I am still at home. It is safe for you to assume that I have chosen to play "hooky" from church. I fear that I have succumbed to many enticing realities that staying home has to offer to me on this Sunday morning. In St. Louis its raining and overcast, my house is quiet because today is a "dad" day, and to be honest I'm exhausted from my youngest son refusing to sleep well for 3 nights in a row. So I am staying home from church to enjoy the peace of my home, to allow my mind and heart to rest, and to prepare myself for yet another week of chaos. And while the choice to stay home is good for me, I sit here aching in my heart with the reality that my choice to stay home means I will not see my sons today, and I will not see many friends today, and I will not corporately sing out to the Lord and worship Him.
You see I am divorced. Its true. I am a divorced christian woman with 2 young boys who finds myself in the continuous perplexing state of not really ever feeling content with my decisions. To be honest, since being divorced (which is a recent reality for me) there are not many days where I do not feel split within my being. Take my decision to stay home today as an example. While I am glad that I allowed myself to make a choice that cares for my needs, at the very same time I want to scream at myself for making it. The internal tape in my head sounds something like this: "How could you choose to rest over seeing your boys? What is wrong with you? You see, you are not a good mom. A good mom would not choose rest over seeing her kids." The raging thoughts continue…and continue…and continue.
Then I begin to rage within my being about having a morning where I could choose to rest. Having a morning where my kids aren't here with me, because if I weren't divorced then they would always be with me. Extreme sadness begins to set in as I miss my kids terribly and the reality of my new life is in my face and I cannot escape it.
Divorce is perplexing on many levels and here I have only shared one level of the many.
The reality of my current season of life is this: It is good (and okay) for me to choose to rest today, yet this means I will miss seeing my kids today. If I had chosen do to the opposite then the reality would have been not resting but getting to see my kids. The first allows me to care for myself. The second allows for me to care for my kids (and not feel mommy guilt) but not for myself. Either decision leaves someone desiring something different.

In recent years, it may have seemed that the demise of the travel agent was imminent, with the arrival of easy online travel tools. However, travel agencies are thriving, and are experiencing a rebound, despite modern day technological advancements.
Like the cool clique in high school, travel agents have that extra something. They know more about the business of travel than anyone, are better connected, have access to benefits that you couldn't get on your own, get better prices and provide a safety net if things go wrong on your trip.
While those planning simple trips may be fine letting their fingers do the walking, those on a grander budget or with specialized travel plans would be wise to use a specialist. Multi-stop trips, cultural tours and unfamiliar destinations should involve a professional. The benefits also increase exponentially, the more luxurious the trip becomes.
The best travel agents are essentially consultants, and many prefer the term "travel advisor," because it is their advice, expertise, and connections that are of great value, not the ability to print airline tickets for you.
Cruises are one such trip which would benefit from a travel agent. The variation of choices, including destination, cruise line, ship type and demographics on board is astounding. In Cayman, we are familiar with mainstream sea cruises, but over the last decade, river cruising has become the hottest segment of the travel industry.
Gone are the days when only privately owned ships navigated a few choice rivers. River cruising popularity has grown dramatically, and more than 500,000 people now take a river cruise each year, enjoying smooth sailing and immediate access to the historical ports they dock in.
Destinations range from the United States to Europe, Russia, Egypt and even China and Southeast Asia, and many ships are recently built and designed for comfortable travel, with top of the line amenities.
Many travelers are discovering that river cruising provides an intimate, comfortable alternative to sea cruises, with typically just under 200 guests on board. Also, unlike an ocean cruise, there's an ever-changing mural of breathtaking scenery from your ship, so the journey itself becomes part of your discovery.

Ravens-Steelers Thanksgiving game moved
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool. -AP Photos
NFL Betting	Coronavirus
The Thanksgiving night game between the Ravens and Steelers has been switched to Sunday because of coronavirus issues with Baltimore.
The NFL announced the move Wednesday, but did not specify a time of game nor which network would televise it. Previously, it was scheduled for NBC's prime-time telecast.
Baltimore placed outside linebacker Pernell McPhee on the reserve/COVID-19 list, joining running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins and defensive tackle Brandon Williams. The Ravens also have been doing team work virtually.
Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was one of several Steelers to express his unhappiness with the move.
"First the NFL takes away our bye week because another team can't get their Covid situation together, now they take away our Thanksgiving primetime game for the same reason. Smh," he posted on social media.
Also, the Cleveland Browns were practicing in shifts and holding players out as a precaution while dealing with a new round of COVID-19 issues.
The team temporarily closed its headquarters in Berea, Ohio, after another yet-to-be identified player tested positive. The Browns are conducting contact tracing to see if others players were exposed to the infected player.
In the meantime, coach Kevin Stefanksi said practice ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville will be spaced out to reduce the risk of possible spread. Rain has forced the workout to be held in the team's indoor field house, which is also being used as a weight room due to COVID protocols.
"We'll space this out a little bit," Stefanski said. "We'll bring in the offense, let them get a lift, get them out on the field in the field house to work out, get an individual period and move them around. And then we'll bring the defense in and have a similar schedule. So we'll space the two groups out."
The Browns (7-3) already have four players, including star defensive end Myles Garrett on the reserve/COVID list. Garrett missed Sunday's win over Philadelphia and he'll also sit out this week's game against the Jaguars (1-9).
Stefanski has not provided any specifics on Garrett's condition, but said it's possible the 24-year-old who has 9 1/2 sacks, could return for the Dec. 6 game against Tennessee.
Cleveland's defense responded without Garrett and had five sacks, a safety and returned an interception for a touchdown in the 22-17 win over the Eagles. Defensive end Olivier Vernon had three sacks — and the safety — and was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Stefanski said fullback Andy Janovich and defensive end Joe Jackson will also miss this week's game. Offensive lineman Chris Hubbard has a chance to be activated from the COVID list this week, Stefanski said.
This has been a steady, familiar pattern for the Browns, who have had to shut down their headquarters several times in the past few weeks to do contact tracing as the virus continues to wreak havoc across the NFL and country.
"The guys are adapting, they're being flexible," Stefanski said. (Offensive coordinator) Coach Van Pelt showed a picture of Stretch Armstrong this morning, and that's who we are, and that's who've got to be."
Stefanski said top cornerback Denzel Ward, who injured his calf against the Eagles, could miss a couple of games with the latest injury to strike Cleveland's secondary.
Ward picked off Carson Wentz late in Sunday's win and leads the league with 15 passes defensed. The Browns have been without rookie safety Grant Delpit this season after he ruptured an Achilles tendon in training camp as well as starting cornerback Greedy Williams, who remains sidelined with a nerve injury in his shoulder.

RAPPORT // Anticipatory Democracy is Shaping the Future of the World
Leadership Rapport Societal Collisions
Anticipatory Democracy: The public's active, conscious engagement in collectively shaping the future of their community, state or nation.[1]
The protests against the construction of a telescope on Hawaii's sacred Mauna Kea are entering into the second month. Calling themselves kia'i (protectors), thousands of native Hawaiians are protesting against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). They are arguing that it will further desecrate Mauna Kea, which already has a dozen existing telescope research facilities. They are calling for a return of balance from the destruction of their land and the restoration of the native ecosystem of Mauna Kea.
Their future-focused voices are raising issues of indigenous rights, sovereignty, and environmental stewardship.
Roughly six thousand miles to the west of Hawaii, Hong Kong is entering the third month of pro-democracy protests. Millions of people have opposed the government's proposal to amend Hong Kong's extradition bill. The proposed action would allow the transfer of fugitives to jurisdictions with which Hong Kong lacks an extradition deal—including mainland China. As protesters have taken to the streets, they have brought disruption and chaos to day-to-day activities. A couple of weeks ago, thousands of pro-democracy protesters shut down the Hong Kong airport, one of the busiest in Asia. Last week, a thousand people joined in peaceful protest, holding hands to form a human chain almost 30 miles long.
Peering into the future, these demonstrators are concerned about Hong Kong's legal freedoms and human rights.
Three environmental activists in the U.K. were convicted of public order offenses last week. The men were convicted of obstructing a highway and the police during a demonstration in April in central London. More than a thousand people were arrested, making the demonstrations some of the biggest acts of civil disobedience in recent British history. Extinction Rebellion, the group that organized the demonstration, contend they are fighting for the future of the world.
"Acceleration produces a faster turnover of goals, a greater transience of purpose. Diversity or fragmentation leads to a relentless multiplication of goals. Caught in this churning, goal-cluttered environment, we stagger, future shocked, from crisis to crisis, pursuing a welter of conflicting and self-canceling purposes."
- Alvin Toffler, Future Shock
We are at a Historic Crossroads
The protests happening around the world are evidence that we are witnessing a growing obsoledge in long-held political systems. These beliefs and models were designed and constructed to serve the Industrial Era. They may no longer be relevant to a hyper-connected, global, civilization-driven world. As we sit at an inflection point between past and future, new systems are emerging. In the protests, we're witnessing trial and error in real time.
In his 2012 book The Civic Long Tail, Charles Leadbeater observed that "decades after the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the web is creating a parallel but arguably more effective universal set of expectations among citizens." He continues, "even if social media does not become a platform for overtly political activity, it is already changing how citizens expect to be treated and so what they expect of the government."[2]
The same technology that fosters shared innovations and ideological connections also provides a platform to advocate like no other before. It amplifies voices speaking on important issues and allows citizens to hold corporate, community and even country leaders accountable, just as Leaderbeater predicted.
Change in the Real World
Take the British Extinction Rebellion as an example. The group is using the platforms of the Knowledge Age to disrupt the ingrained political systems of the past. This new and growing socio-political movement aims to use civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance to protest climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, and the risk of social and ecological collapse. They want governments to declare and act with urgency to halt biodiversity loss and to reduce greenhouse emissions to net zero by 2025. The April protests in London were deemed a huge success because they prompted many senior politicians to listen more closely and to embrace a sense of urgency to understand the multitude of perspectives to make more informed decisions for the future.
Extinction Rebellion goes a step beyond advocating their positions on social media platforms. They also demand governments create—and be led by—the decisions of a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice. They argue the need for a Citizens' Assembly because the environment is an emergency with big, wide-ranging, complex, and urgent challenges that have a multitude of stakeholders. On their website, they even define what they mean by a Citizens' Assembly and describe how the forum will use critical thinking to support decision-making, who it will draw upon for its composition, and how it will be governed.
The U.K. and other countries such as Ireland, Canada, Australia, Poland and the Netherlands all have used Citizens' Assemblies to address issues too controversial and difficult for politicians to manage successfully on their own. Previous assemblies have proven that the public can and does understand complex information, that they are capable of deliberating valid options, and that they can make fair and impartial choices.
Public action like we are seeing in Hawaii, Hong Kong, and the U.K. have the power to change societies and the world because it is human-driven and amplified by connectedness. We are seeing examples of large and small instances across the world, created and energized by individuals of every walk of life. Whether by situation, ideology or demographics, people are finding one another and banding together to achieve a shared objective.
As we learn and know better, we do better. Add the courage to take bold, exponential steps, and we begin to see real progress. There are more voices to be heard and more complexity to understand and address. We are in need of anticipatory democracy, the blending of future consciousness and genuine public participation. Those who value and pursue ways to bring people together to work for a great, shared purpose – those are the leaders for our future.

Fishing report Naples and marco June and July Awesome fishing is Here!
Fishing the first part of June in Naples and marco has been nothing short of AWESOME. Big Tarpon on the beaches and Flats, great Snook in the Passes and on the beaches, Pompano and Trout on the beaches. Tough to beat the fishing here.
June has lived up to its reputation we are catching great numbers of Snook both inside and outside. Certainly the outside has been the best. Large spawning females are cruising around everywhere. They are feeding on everything Bait, Artificial, or Fly. Last evening alone we boated close to 50 Snook on fly in under four hours mostly on poppers, what an evening. We actually quit early my anglers arms were too sore to catch another fish. Tarpon are here also. Inside the smaller fish are coming out with the new rain we have been having in the afternoons and the big ones are on the beaches on the outside. Flats near the passes are very good mostly on the incoming tide. Remember Snook is closed and looks like it will be closed through most of next year. I am happy about that. We have many Snook around Naples but there are large areas that have few fish. We are fortunate others are les fortunate with there populations. We still need to protect them, we need one more good spawning season to get back to good numbers. Redfish are available mostly being caught on live shrimp in the mangrove creeks and some on the flats to the south. Fly anglers are catching a few but targeting them a little tough unless you can find them on clear water flats adjacent to creek channels. If you want food fish Snapper and Spanish mackerel are just about everywhere. Snapper are good eaten fresh and so are mackerel. Cut all the blood lines out of the Spanish and refrigerate for 4 hours before cooking. Grilled with lemon dill or lemon basil sauce they are spectacular. The fey is to eat them the same night you catch them if you wait a couple of days they get too strong.
July looks good in the forecast. If we keep getting rain the small Tarpon fishing will be excellent and of course Snook will still be eating everything in sight. I would expect the Pompano and Permit to start hitting the beaches. Trout will be on the near shore wrecks and ledges but this time of the year they get a little wormy and very soft, not as good as they are in winter. Snapper should be just about everywhere, we have been limiting out on all our trips and that should continue. Good Luck and good Fishing Roan z.
