It’s been another phenomenal year for the city’s award-winning choirs, Peterborough Male Voice Choir, Peterborough Voices and Peterborough Youth Choir, who have performed live on stage at their Broadway Theatre home with musical superstars Black Dyke Band, The Kings Singers and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – not to mention premiering a specially-commissioned Peterborough-inspired work by the acclaimed British composer Errollyn Wallen at St John’s Smith Square in London
The choirs are rounding off 2015 with Christmas Magic, their ever-popular extravaganza of carols and festive music – now in its fifth successful year – which will be at the Broadway Theatre for one night only on Sunday 20 December. An established high-point of the festive season in Peterborough, Christmas Magic sold out well over a month in advance last year – and this year’s performance is also to be broadcast by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire on Christmas Day.
Featuring a full symphony orchestra and hosted by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s Jane Smith, Christmas Magic will showcase seasonal favourites including When a Child is Born, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, White Christmas, Santa Baby, O Holy Night, Do You Hear What I Hear and many more, all under the baton of William Prideaux, who says: ‘Christmas is a very special time of year for our three choirs – it’s a wonderful opportunity to put on a great show for our home audience and we’re looking forward to presenting a really memorable evening of festive fun for all the family.’
Christmas Magic is presented in association with Bill Kenwright Ltd, who are bringing a spectacular season of shows to the Broadway Theatre over the Christmas period: Jesus Christ Superstar, And Then There Were None, The Sound of Music, The Cat in the Hat, Miracle on 34th Street, Dreamboats and Petticoats – The Christmas Party, The Glenn Miller Story featuring Tommy Steele and Blood Brothers.
Peterborough Sings! is working in partnership with BIll Kenwright Ltd to secure a positive outcome for the muchloved theatre. Meanwhile, the choirs’ plans for 2016 include competition tours to the Interkultur ‘Isola del Sole’ International Choral Competition in Grado, Italy for Peterborough Male Voice Choir and to the Interkultur International Choral Festival in Calella, Spain for Peterborough Voices. They will also be performing at the Broadway Theatre with the Band of the RAF Regiment on Sunday 6 March and with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra in Magic of the Musicals on Sunday 4 September. As always, there’s plenty to look forward to!
Based at the Broadway Theatre, Peterborough Sings! is the city’s unique music education charity, which works weekly with over 250 members in Peterborough Male Voice Choir, Peterborough Voices and Peterborough Youth Choir as well as with hundreds of local schoolchildren through its Arts Council England-funded Singing Strategy.

The clip comes at a point in their conversation when Obama is recounting a June 2015 party at the White House where the late Prince was singing. When the Grammy victor invited his daughter to the floor to dance, Obama says he was "surprised" that Sasha pulled him up with her.
Obama, whose appearance on the talk show will be his first since leaving office, went on to share the secret to his signature "dad moves". "I have dad moves and I think the key is what we call 'staying in the pocket.' " More Letterman laughter. It turns out there's an art to keeping those "dad moves" in check, and Obama has mastered it. And they're trying stuff that they can't really pull off.
"These are people that I admire", Letterman said about the guests on the show's Netflix trailer.
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman premieres Friday, January 12 at 12:01 a.m. PT on Netflix.
Episodes for the hour-long, six-part series will be rolled out once a month, with future chats confirmed with Jay-Z, George Clooney, Malala Yousafazi, Tina Fey and "shock jock" extraordinaire Howard Stern. Recently, Netflix teased the late night host's new TV show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

- An intellectual property theft claim has caused Yuga Labs to change the logo for its Bored Ape Kennel Club
- The Bored Ape creator reportedly used an image from a kids-based drawing tutorials platform
- Yuga Labs adopted the image as a logo three months after its first publication
Dookey Dash creator Yuga Labs has agreed to change the Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) logo after claims it infringed on the intellectual property (IP) rights of Easy Drawing Guides. The kids-based drawing tutorials platform disclosed that its materials are protected by a license. This isn’t Yuga Labs’ first IP infringement claim as the RR/BAYC creator has opposed some of the company’s trademark filings citing IP conflict.
The IP theft was first unearthed by a Twitter user after which the wolf skull’s original artist and Yuga’s co-founder Greg Solano admitted to the striking resemblance between the two images. Details show that the drawing was first published by the kids-based drawing platform in April 2021 while Yuga adopted a similar image for its BAKC NFT collection in June of the same year.
Bro @BoredApeYC @yugalabs what a fucking joke bahahahahaha you got some explaining to do. 4/5/21 and your kennels came out 6/21 and you went and trademarked this skull. Are you guys ok or have you bumped your heads? https://t.co/HiLFdbnFL5 pic.twitter.com/FJigzJgBr8
— COLOMBO (@Jdotcolombo) February 17, 2023
According to the Easy Drawing Guides website, content on the platform isn’t meant for commercial use. Commenting on the revelations, Easy Drawing Guides disclosed that Yuga Labs “doesn’t have a license to the wolf skull drawing.”
Thanks for bringing this up @Jdotcolombo. @yugalabs doesn’t have a license to the wolf skull drawing. The intellectual property rights for the drawing belong to Easy Drawing Guides as it’s our original drawing and protected by our Terms and Conditions.
— Easy Drawing Guides (@easydrawinguide) February 17, 2023
Yuga Labs’ Ready to Change
While seemingly admitting to IP infringement, Solano said that Yuga will change the logo and do the same across their site, adding that they’ll work with NFT marketplaces to implement changes across the collectibles world.
Saw the claims today about the BAKC logo. This was news to us and we’re still investigating the situation. Have reached out to the freelancer we hired for that design and Easy Drawing Guides. We’ll be changing the logo and updating it on our site / ask marketplaces to change as… https://t.co/OwtflDXehz
— Garga.eth (Greg Solano) (@CryptoGarga) February 18, 2023
However, Solano noted that the company didn’t know about the infringed IP before the revelations. Some in the crypto space suggested that Yuga Labs should let the BAKC community choose “which logo [is] the best.” With Yuga seemingly admitting wrongdoing, it’s not clear whether Easy Drawing Guides will claim a share of the profits made off the BAKC project.

Breakfast at your hotel.
Today you will be hiking in the northern part of Vatnajokull National Park, the largest national park in Western Europe. The park is named after vast Vatnajokull Glacier and covers about 14% of Iceland’s surface.
Drive around the fossil-rich Tjornes Peninsula on the edge of the Arctic Circle as you head to Vatnajokull National Park. Your first discovery in the park is the enormous horseshoe-shaped Asbyrgi canyon. According to Norse mythology, the canyon is the hoof-print left by Sleipnir, the god Odinn‘s magical eight-legged horse. Take a trail leading to the bottom of the canyon with views of an enchanting pond as well as an area where you can look over the canyon. Continue onwards to Hljodaklettar or ‘Echo Rocks’, a distinctive cluster of angular rock columns. The unique shape of the rocks creates interesting acoustics and echoes. Hljodaklettar is near Jokulsargljufur, Iceland’s longest canyon. The canyon was carved by a river flowing from Vatnajokull Glacier.
Spend the remainder of your afternoon exploring the lush vegetation and forested areas of Hlodaklettar where stones stand like troll sentinels. (hiking route can be adjusted to the level of the group).
The day ends with an unforgettable visit to Europe’s mightiest waterfall, Dettifoss, a thundering cascade of glacial water and mist among shattered cliffs. An easy trail leads you down to the waterfall. Afterwards, return to the Lake Myvatn area for your overnight.
Dinner and overnight in the Myvatn area.
Hiking information for Ásbyrgi: Distance: 1 km - Elevation: Very little - Walking time: About 30 minutes to 1 hour
Hiking information for Hljóðaklettar: Distance: 10 km - Elevation: 50-100 m Walking time: 4-4,5 hours (several trails combined)

Did you know?:
The word “grill” originates from the English term for fire grate.
The term „barbecue”is synonymous to the American variation of a grill. Canadian trappers were the first to use it. Entire oxen used to be grilled on a spit. Quite literally: from the mouth to the tail; in French: de la barbe à la queue …
Charcoal grills are the classic choice.. Various sizes, designs and accessories make for a good selection of charcoal grills. Small charcoal grills or disposable grills are easy to take along.
The disadvantages of charcoal grills are the time required (for preparation, firing coals to glow, ….) as well as potential, more or less intensive formation of smoke which may “burn” good relations with some neighbours! The atmosphere of open fire and aromatic smoke in the air remains unbeatable!
Gas grill a quick alternative for clean grilling true to temperature.
Electric grill, also suitable for fast grilling. Due to the size, normally ideal for small groups. – Practical: easy cleaning.
During a barbecue with charcoal (or briquettes), particles from the ash may fall on the meat due to wind or when deglazing with liquids. This may compromise taste, does not look appealing, and may have a negative effect on health, depending on its composition. – Therefore, please set up your grill in a wind-protected place and do not deglaze grilled food with beer or the like.
Liquids such as fat, meat juice or marinade should not come in contact with charcoal when barbecuing, as they may result in smoke formation which could be a health hazard. Aluminium foil and aluminium trays catch liquids and protect food from excessive direct heat. There are, however, environmental concerns about these products among others.
CAUTION: Please always refer to the user manual for installation and usage of any device!
Charcoal or briquettes: Both have advantages and disadvantages. Charcoal may normally ignite more quickly, but briquettes have the advantage that they give off heat more evenly for a longer period of time. You must never use simple pieces of wood, branches, left-over wood, or the like. Otherwise you will be faced with significant smoke formation and increased likelihood of flying sparks.
Never leave open packages of charcoal or briquettes outside. Charcoal soaks up humidity and is therefore less flammable.
For igniting and glowing charcoal or briquettes you can use various fire starters (firm ones such as wood-wax-cubes or liquid fire starters).
Never use spirit, petrol, paraffin oil or similar to start the fire. This is very dangerous!
Chimney starters have an absolutely sound track record as a sensible fire starter! Once the charcoal is glowing, place it on the grill (charcoal and briquettes are covered all over in a fine layer of ash).
Spread out burning material only on one side of the grill (= direct heat) to achieve two heat zones for direct and indirect grilling. The side without hot coals or briquettes (= indirect heat) may also be used as a temporary tray for grilled food ready to eat.
A food rack close to the grill makes sense for easy handling and provides additional space. To get ready, make sure you have all required accessories nearby. (e.g. barbecue glove, barbecue tongues with long handles, possibly a little scoop to scrape coal together, and perhaps aluminium drip pans, aluminium foil). – Please do not use forks for turning!
Has the correct temperature been reached? Hold one hand approx. 10-15 cm above the grill. If you can hold your hand here for much longer than 5 seconds, then the ideal grilling temperature has not yet been reached. (Caution: danger of burning!)
Dirt on the grill is tough. Leftovers from meat and vegetables combine with fats and are therefore very hard to dissolve. A simple dish sponge is not normally enough for the job. Grill brushes (possibly with a scraper or sponge) are better for scraping off tough dirt and crusty areas on the grill. A soft sponge can be used to remove left-over fat. (Ideally, grills should be cleaned straight after barbecuing. This way, left-over fat and food does not dry out.
Give it a try: allow the grill to cool, apply a little ash to a damp cloth and wipe off the grill. (The abrasive effect rubs off burnt material). If you cannot start cleaning until the following day, you can wrap the cooled off grill into newspaper and place it into the moist grass overnight. (This prevents left-over material from drying out and it will be easier to wash off).
Gas grills: first remove large pieces of left-over food (meat, vegetables, etc.) from the grill. Set all ignited burners to the highest setting. Do not forget to close the lid. It may take about 10 minutes until the burn out process has completed, depending on how dirty the grill is. Then, brush off the hot (CAUTION!) grill using a clean brass brush.
Do not use a steel brush for this purpose. (Exception: cast-iron steel grills without enamelling). Alternatively, brushes with stainless steel bristles may be used for stainless steel grills. Please make sure to read the care instructions provided by the manufacturer of your device.
Barbecuing is one of the healthiest ways of cooking. Due to direct heat exposure, the meat pores close immediately. This retains valuable vitamins and minerals as well as the typical flavours. Fat contents melt in the heat and drip off. This reduces fat and calories when barbecuing.
Caution: In order to turn barbecuing into an all-round healthy way of cooking, please keep the following in mind: Make sure that no fat drips into the hot coals. This would burn and may produce harmful substances which can stick to grilled food. (This may be avoided, for example, by using drip pans when grilling marinated and fatty meat). Harmful substances also form when meat is heavily burnt. Therefore, you should never leave the meat unattended, and cut off burnt parts generously. Cured meat should also only be grilled on a tray such as an aluminium drip pan.
Besides protein, meat contains many vitamins of the vitamin-B-complex, Vitamin A, D and E as well as the minerals potassium, sodium and iron. It also contains valuable trace elements such as phosphorous, iron, selenium, and zinc. Meat protein can be used by the body particularly well. If we consider sausage products as a source of iron, then it becomes especially important compared to other types of food. Compared to vegetarian foods, meat sourced iron offers greater availability. The white poultry meat, as it is used in our products, contains considerably less fat and more protein compared to muscle meat cuts of beef. In addition, the vitamin content of group B and C, niacin, as well as the minerals magnesium, iron, phosphorous, and sodium is comparatively high.
Not to mention the essential amino acids, which are essential building stones for protein that is produced naturally in the body. In animal foods these are present at a higher concentration and in a more favourable composition as compared to vegetable based proteins.
What could be nicer than that? – Nice weather, witty company, cold drinks and delicious sausages on the barbecue. Savoury, spicy and so wonderfully diverse that nothing else is really needed. Whatever the kind, bratwurst, cheese grill, Rustikus, or veggie grill sausage. – For most people, sausages are the first thing to go on a grill! – and that’s just fine, ….
Sausages are easily prepared, as they are ready to eat even at relatively low temperatures. Due to their structure, they are also quite forgiving when barbecuing. But is that the “perfect” sausage for grilling? – Should it not be evenly browned, juicy but not fatty, crispy but not burnt and truly tasty even without mustard? First things first: make sure you get quality sausages. (We are convinced that you are making the right choice when selecting Damhus products. Give us a try!)
Even though the cooking time may be shorter than with other barbecue food, allow yourself and the sausage more time. In order to get the most out of the roasting flavour, play with the grill and the heat. Regardless whether you are using a charcoal, gas or electric grill. Starting with high heat will result in quick formation of initial roasting flavours and the sausage will get a good amount of heat from all sides. (Caution, do not leave the sausage unattended, otherwise it will turn black!)
With initial roasting flavours and a slightly browned casing, you can set aside the sausage a little further away from the high heat. Turn it regularly, but not too much, for nice all-around browning and crispy outside. When the skin begins to crack (slight “bursting”), the sausage should be ready. To speed up skin cracking you might wish to try using a little water to moisten the sausage or make small cuts with a knife.
In addition to classic bratwurst sausages, Damhus also offers a wide selection of alternative sausage varieties. E.g.: turkey bratwurst sausage. There is hardly any difference in the preparation, except that the grilled sausage usually turns out a little lighter in colour. It is possible that a turkey bratwurst sausage does not brown as evenly as others, but this does not affect the underlying spicy flavour. As this product contains slightly less fat, it will dry out more quickly and should be “watched” at all times when barbecuing.
This is also the case with the veggie grill sausage, the vegetarian sausages (grill rolls). This variety is a great option for vegetarians, but also very well received by “flexitarians.” They are ready to eat even faster. (The best way to cook them is in a pan with some fat). Veggie grill sausages have a softer consistency than traditional meat sausages.
BY THE WAY: If it rains: All DAMHUS SAUSAGES are ideally suited for pan frying.
Food for quick frying, such as hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and fish fillet, is best grilled using direct heat. Large pieces, such as roasts or entire chickens, should be grilled using indirect heat to ensure well cooked meat on the inside without burning the outside.
For a perfect steak, you must have high quality meat. Take the meat out of the fridge about one hour prior to grilling. Brush on a small amount of rapeseed or sunflower oil and a pinch of salt just before grilling. Sear from both sides to get a crust, then continue to grill with indirect heat depending on the thickness of the steak until it is cooked to your desired grade. Allow the steak to sit (wrapped in aluminium foil) a few minutes before serving.
Barbecue skewersare a classic, either with onions, sweet pepper or fruit. With or without meat, with mixed ingredients, always something different and tasty. Really easy: cut different varieties of Damhus bratwurst sausage into slices and stick them on a skewer with alternating sweet pepper and onion. It will be a surprise! To be on the safe side, allow skewers to soak in water for about half an hour.
Spices should not be added to non-marinated meat until it is finished cooking. Salt removes moisture from the meat. This may result in dry and, in the worst case, tough meat. Spices (pepper & so on) may quickly turn black and also bitter if they are exposed to heat for too long. Ideally, grill the meat and allow it to sit for about 3-4 minutes (not on the grill). This allows the meat juice to distribute itself evenly. Now is the time to add spices as you wish.
Remember to turn food on the grill regularly. Nevertheless, the rule for turning is: less is more! Constant turning leads to changes in temperature which prevents the meat forming a nice crust.
Fishis great for barbecuing. Oil the fish before grilling in order to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill, and then, sear on high, direct heat. (Fish fillet with skin: grill on the skin side until the surface looks slightly glazed. Fillet without skin: wrap in aluminium foil so that it does not fall apart. During grilling, only turn the fish once and take more time for the first side for a delicious crust to form. Entire fish can be prepared nicely in barbecue baskets.
If you want to barbecue fish, you may wish to opt for more fatty varieties (e.g. mackerel, salmon). Fish with too little fat dries out quickly. Choose low heat for preparation (indirect or with the grill set higher above the heat!). Leave shellfish inside the shell, otherwise they burn immediately.
Apart from meat and fish, you can also put vegetables on your barbecue! They will develop a slightly smoked flavour on the grill. Add some zesty sauces and your barbecue dish will be even more colourful.
Spicy marinades made of high quality oil (e.g. rapeseed oil, heat-resistant olive oil), vinegar, herbs, and spices give meat and vegetables wonderful flavours. A marinade also makes meat cuts more tender. For best results, place the food several hours before you barbecue into a marinade with as little salt as possible and keep in the fridge, ideally in a closed container.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, a true delight at all times and whatever the weather may be: Damhus sausages – everything else is a “compromise!”

Jennifer Grant, my dear friend and co-editor of Disquiet Time: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful, and a Few Scoundrels, and I are guests on our homesizzle The Rev. Dr. Steve Brown‘s radio show and podcast today.
By the by, Steve, who is (among many marvelous things) Professor Emeritus of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry at Reformed Theological Seminary, also has a marvelous chapter in Disquiet Time, called “A High Tolerance for Ambiguity,” where he writes in part:
If you’ve stood before God and haven’t been confused, you’re probably not worshiping God. You’re worshiping an idol. Not only that, but God’s ways are circuitous, and whatever you think God is doing, he probably isn’t. If you want to make God laugh, someone has said, tell him your plans. But even more relevant, if you want to make God really laugh, tell him what you think he told you.
Steve, are you leaving and becoming a Buddhist or something?
I’ve thought about it. Buddhists don’t seem to care about diets, and they’re always smiling ; but frankly, I’ve gone too far here to get out. Besides, I hate change, and I wonder who will forgive me and love me the way Jesus does. So I’m probably going to stay— bloodied and wounded sometimes, afraid and angry sometimes , sinful and rebellious sometimes, confused and lost sometimes… and always needy— because I don’t have any other place to go.
I’m just not as sure as my students. And I’m not as sure about God’s ways as I once was, either. Saint Paul asked a rhetorical question in Romans 11: 34: “Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” (ESV). The obvious answer is that I certainly don’t, and nobody else here does , either.
Disquiet Time is on sale at Amazon.com for 30% off if you use the promotional code HOLIDAY30 at checkout!
Listen in to Steve’s interview with Jen and Cath HERE or below.
My latest book, DISQUIET TIME: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful, and a Few Scoundrels, a collaborative effort co-edited by Jennifer Grant and myself containing essays by more than 40 of our friends and colleagues who opened their hearts (and a vein) to write honestly and (often) with great humor, about what most confounds them (for better and for worse) about the Bible, released yesterday 10/21.
I’m delighted to say the book has been received warmly, reviews are good, and the early (very early) sales numbers are encouraging.
Many of the contributing authors to DISQUIET TIME along with some of our supportive media friends are in the midst of rolling out a blog tour.
Below are the latest blog posts. I think you’ll enjoy them. They’ll definitely start some interesting conversations.
The blog tour continues through November. Check back daily for updates.
When Cathleen asked me to contribute to Disquiet Time, the new a collection of essays by “the Skeptical, the Faithful and a few Scoundrels,” I didn’t think twice about saying “yes,” nor did I worry much about which category might best fit me.
Cathleen and I have been friends since our roommate days in college, which was pre-email, pre-cell phone, and pre-Kim Kardashian.
Yes, we are approximately ancient.
Anyhoo… The assignment was to write about a passage of Scripture that troubles me. I kept coming back to Proverbs 31—or, as it’s fondly called within Christian circles, “The Proverbs 31 woman.”
Proverbs 31 is an ode to the “virtuous wife,” and often is used as a prescriptive for what a “godly woman” looks, acts, and cooks like. The Proverbs 31 woman is to some circles what Barbie is to elementary school girls — the ideal woman. Never mind that the dimensions don’t add up.
I won’t rehash the essay here, but the nutshell is that I don’t have a problem with the passage itself as much as I have a problem with how it’s typically taught, which is as a primer on domestic divahood. That the Proverbs 31 woman is clearly a working woman is conveniently overlooked by those who choose to use it as a prescription for “traditional” gender roles. (Traditional unless you have to work because you are poor or from another culture or maybe had to get divorced. In which case, carry on.)
I feel like I’m in the Hot Tub Time Machine just writing that sentence. I spent a lot of time thinking about gender roles when I was in college, back in the late ’80s, and it’s kind of funny to me (not funny ha-ha but more funny odd) that I ended up writing about this in Disquiet Time. At this stage of my life, I am too busy being a mother, wife, and professional to analyze it much.
When I read about the Duggar girls (from the TV series 19 Kids and Counting) working so very hard to embody the qualities of the Proverbs 31 woman, I cringe but in the same way I cringe when I watch The Real Housewives series. It’s like being at a zoo and observing exotic animals that are one step removed.
I’m not so removed that it doesn’t cause some disquiet. Which is what this collection of essays is about. Those things in the Bible that you wish would go away, but won’t. Because they have to do with the most profound expressions of what it means to be human.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to wrestle publicly with things that make me uneasy and even irritable.
And I’m grateful I’m not alone in that endeavor.

I’m very excited to announce that next week (on Tuesday 10/21), my latest book, DISQUIET TIME: Rants and Reflections on the Good Book by the Skeptical, the Faithful, and a Few Scoundrels hits bookstores everywhere.
Let me tell you a bit about the book, which is quite different from anything I’ve done in the past. First of all, I didn’t write the whole thing. Along with one of my best friends, Jennifer Grant, I acted as co-editor of the book and contributed two chapters to it as well. Jen and I asked several dozen of our cleverest, funniest, most honest and deep-thinking friends (many of whom are writers whose names you’ll recognize) to contribute an essay to the book. The assignment seemed simple but turned out to be anything but for most of us who chose to accept it:
We’ve asked people to write about verses/passages/ideas in the Bible that:
~ most confounds them,
~ they wish weren’t in there,
~ are their guilty pleasure,
~ are a solace in hard times,
~ for those who once embraced the Bible in their journey but no longer do – what is the verse or passage or idea that they still return to, that still has meaning for them when the rest of it doesn’t,
~ for those who once embraced the Bible but no longer do, what was the straw that broke the camel’s back? was there a verse/passage/concept that sent you packing? if so, why?
~they love most or hold most dear,
~ makes them laugh or cringe or invariably brings a tear to their eye.
The tone is conversational, humor is welcome, language needn’t be pious or PG-rated. Have no fear of being censored. … In other words, just go for it. Just be as honest and as fearless as you can be.
DISQUIET TIME contains more than 40 essays by our brave, marvelous friends who took off their kid gloves and took on the Bible to honestly (and often with great humor) talk about what bothers/elates/annoys/amuses or leaves them in awe about the “Good Book.” They are men and women; young, middle-aged, and sage-aged; Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and none-of-the-above; evangelical, post-evangelical, Episcopal, Catholic, mainline, orthodox, nondenominational, spiritual-but-not-religious, and “nones”; emergent, emerging, and fully emerged. They are black, white, Hispanic, Asian-American, and none-of-the above; conservative, liberal, libertarian, Democrat, Republican, middle-of-the-road, and with occasional anarchistic tendencies; married, single, divorced, gay, straight, bisexual, parents, and singletons. They are faithful, skeptical, and the odd scoundrel (or dozen).
The result is a chorus unlike any I’ve heard (or read) before. You won’t agree with everything you read in DISQUIET TIME, but you will find something — a gem or two or dozen — that click with, challenge, or inspire you.
Beginning tomorrow and running through November, we’re launching the DISQUIET TIME DISQUIETING BLOG TOUR, where you’ll hear from many of the authors included in the book and a few of our friends who aren’t. Check back here for updates and links to each day’s blog or visit www.DisquietTime.com where each of them will be cross-posted.
We’ve also created a few fun bells and whistles to help share the DISQUIET TIME love.

I wanted to give you a little taste of what DISQUIET TIME is all about by sharing the book’s introduction. Please take it as an invitation to you personally.
As ever, thank you for all of your support and enthusiasm for my continuing work. It means the world to me.
Hugs and kisses,
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF MISFIT TOYS
An ethicist who can’t make the right choices.
A yogi who’s tempted to pray the Jesus prayer over her children.
A poet at the helm of a global corporation.
A buttoned-up suburban parent with a penchant for Eminem.
A Hollywood producer who dons a superhero costume and proclaims, “Sola Scriptura!”
A female professor at one of the nation’s most religiously conservative schools who has a passion for tattoos and scatological literature.
These are but a few of the souls you will hear from in the pages that follow.
The voices collected in this book are those of nonconformists and oddballs—not-too-distant cousins, perhaps, to the denizens of the Island of Misfit Toys from the classic Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation television special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Not unlike the tiny cowboy who rides an ostrich instead of a horse, the toy train with square wheels on its caboose, and Hermey the Elf―who would rather pursue a career in dentistry than make toys in Santa’s workshop―most of us are well acquainted with the itchy, out-of-place feelings wrought by the spiritual subcultures in which we have sometimes found ourselves.
Some of us self-identify as orthodox (with a small o) Christians, while others feel a flush of pride when called liberal, mainstream, or conservative. Some of us used to identify as Christians or Jews, but now answer “none of the above” (or “all of the above,” as the case may be) when asked to choose a religious label. Whatever our spiritual predilections, each of us seeks an end to the divisiveness and name-calling that too often surround discussions of the Bible.
As diverse as our voices are, they harmonize; and we hear echoes of our own stories in those of the “other.” We learn something new when we hear how a particular biblical passage sustains some people, while other folks continually stumble over (or are repulsed by) the same passage.
We see God’s spirit shining through each other’s eyes as we grant ourselves permission and a safe space to, as Edgar says in King Lear, “speak what we feel, not what we ought to say”―even (and especially) when it’s messy.
All the contributors to this book are personally connected to one or both of us. You’ll meet our pastors, professors, mentors, chosen families, and some of our dearest friends, as well as thinkers and artists who have long inspired us.
While we like to say that Disquiet Time is “not your mama’s Our Daily Bread,” we do hope it nourishes, sustains, and even invigorates you as you encounter the full array of these diverse writers’ authentic experiences with holy writ.
Please consider this book an invitation to join a conversation that has been going on for millennia―one that asks only for you to listen and respond with an open heart. We pray that, through reading it, you will grant yourself permission to express your own faith and doubts about the Good Book, honestly and without caveat.
Remember: even if you end up feeling like a cowboy riding an ostrich into the sunset, you are not alone in this. And when it comes to the greatest concerns, biggest questions, and gravest doubts about the Bible, you have the right and freedom to voice them.
God can take it.
Last week in a piece that ran in The Atlantic, I interviewed Noah director Darren Aronofsky about the spiritual message, import, and inspiration behind his epic reimagining of the ancient biblical story. You can read that interview in full HERE.
During our conversation, Aronofsky talked about a prose-poem he’d written as a 13-year-old seventh grader in Brooklyn that was inspired by the Noah story and launched him on his career path as a writer. He recently discovered the actual poem in a box of childhood mementos while searching for baseball cards for his seven-year-old son.
Today, Darren’s representatives shared a PDF of his ‘The Dove’ poem, which you can see below, followed by its transcription.
January 13, 1982
Evil was in the world. The laughing crowd left the foolish man and his ark filled with animals when the rain began to fall. It was hopeless. The man could not take the evil crowd with him but he was allowed to bring his good family. The rain continued through the night and the cries of screaming men filled the air. The ark was afloat. Until the dove returned with the leaf, evil still existed. When the rainbows reached throughout the sky the humble man and his family knew what it meant.
The animals ran and flew freely with their new born. The fog rose and the sun shone. Peace was in the air and it soon appeared all of man’s heart.
He knew evil could not be kept away for evil and war could not be destroyed but neither was it possible to destroy peace.
Evil is hard to end and peace is hard to begin but the rainbow and the dove will always live within every mans’ heart.

- STITCHES: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair By Anne Lamott
BAHIR DAR, Ethiopia — When I posted this photograph of a beautiful little Ethiopian girl holding a daisy a few days ago, my friend and fellow author Christian Piatt responded on Twitter with a four-word comment:
“The Face of God.”
Christian’s remark stopped me in my tracks … because it’s absolutely true.
The Bible even tells us so.
So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. ~ Genesis 1:27
When I look into the eyes of the hundreds of Ethiopian children I’ve met, given high (and low) fives to, fist bumped, hugged, and waived to in the last few days, my thought is always the same: Oh my God, they are so beautiful.
What I didn’t recognize Christian’s profound four words is that Oh my God, they are so beautiful is also a prayer. A “wow” prayer, to borrow an idea from Anne Lamott.
Since Christian called my attention to the face of God, I haven’t been able to look at any of the remarkable souls I’ve spent time with here in Ethiopia without thinking about God’s face.
That Divine Spark reflected in our eyes. Our faces and bodies, hearts and souls all beautifully and wondrously made in the image of the Creator.
Nowhere is the face of God more evident than in the faces of children. They haven’t learned to cover up their divine face with masks yet, like so many of us adults have. Their joy is pure and unfettered, as is their fear and pain.
Below you can see for yourself what I’m on about — the face of God in the faces of a few of the hundreds of Ethiopian children I’ve been immensely blessed to meet on my journey to their truly sacred land. (More on that last bit in a forthcoming post.)
Oh my God, they are so beautiful.

Remembering Mark Metherell
It’s hard to believe so much time has passed.
We’re coming up on the second anniversary (April 11) of the day our sweet Mark was killed in Iraq.
On Monday evening in Laguna Niguel, Mark’s mother, Pam Metherell, gave a heart-rending, spirit-lifting talk about faith, family and Mark’s passing.
Mark would have been very proud of his mum.
He is so dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Up there in the heavenly realms, surfing with Jesus.
Into the fire …
President Obama, the First Lady and the Bidens began inauguration day at St. John’s Episcopal Church, across Lafayette Square from the White House (and literally across the street from the Hay Adams hotel where the Obama family stayed for a time in run-up to the inauguration before moving into Blair House.)
During the 70-minute service, Bishop TD Jakes preached on a passage from the Book of Daniel:
“Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was altered toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.”
It’s the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego — three righteous Hebrew young men who angered the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar by refusing to worship a golden image he had created. So he tossed them in the fire – a really really hot fire. But God preserved them.
An interesting choice of scripture for the incoming president to hear before taking his oath of office.
Here’s what the official pool report from inside St. John’s had to say about the worship service at what has become known as “Church of the Presidents” since President James Madison first attended (the 54th pew is reserved for the president):
After a brief reading from Rabbi David N. Saperstein and a solo singing performance by Yolanda Adams, the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell – Pres. George Bush’s spiritual advisor – introduced the speaker: Bishop T.D. Jakes
Jakes read from Daniel 3:19 and used the scripture to offer Obama a series of four lessons for his administration.
1 – “In time of crisis, good men must stand up. God always sends the best men into the worst times.”
2 – “You cannot change what you will not confront. This is a moment of confrontation in this country. There’s no way around it…This is not a time for politeness or correctness, this is a time for people to confront issues and bring about change.”
3 – “You cannot enjoy the light without enduring the heat. The reality is the more brilliant, the more glorious, the more essential the light, the more intense the heat. We cannot separate one from the other.”
4 – “Extraordinary times require extraordinary methods. This is a historical moment for us and our nation and our country, and though we enjoy it and are inspired by it and motivated by it.”
After his four lessons, Jakes turned from the crowd and looked directly at Obama.
“The problems are mighty and the solutions are not simple,” Jakes said, “and everywhere you turn there will be a critic waiting to attack every decision that you make. But you are all fired up, Sir, and you are ready to go. And this nation goes with you. God goes with you.
“I say to you as my son who is here today, my 14-year-old son – he probably would not quote scripture. He probably would use Star Trek instead, and so I say, ‘May the force be with you.”
Monsignor William A. Kerr delivered a brief prayer for Biden and then the Rev. Otis Moss Jr. delivered a blessing for Obama.
Moss Jr. [whose son, Otis Moss III, is pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Obama’s former church home] said: “Give to president Obama a double measure of faith and hope, and the strength to do justice…Give him the sight to see all that needs to be seen and the insight to look beyond the clouds and chaos of the moment and see great joys and possibilities. Let the house where he lives and serves be a house of hope for the nation, a house of joy and affection for his family, and the house of friendship for all nations. We thank you eternal god, for our new president, president elect Obama.”

The Dignity For All campaign, co-led by Canada Without Poverty and Citizens for Public Justice, has launched the Living in the Gap: A Snapshot of Precarity in Canada campaign to mark the third anniversary of the release of the DFA model anti-poverty plan.
Canada’s first-ever national anti-poverty strategy must have a meaningful impact on those whose lives are most precarious. Issues related to precarity, including poverty, are complex by nature. This is why Canada needs an anti-poverty strategy that tackles these issues in a thoughtful and comprehensive way.
Living in the Gap is a snapshot of the monthly incomes, expenses, and experiences of six fictitious households. Drawn from across the country in rural and urban settings, these snapshots illustrate how precarity affects our lives on a daily basis.
These profiles are not unique; they represent what it’s like for typical families struggling to make ends meet. They also show why it is important to use targeted, evidence-based approaches to tackling precarity and poverty in Canada.
Together, we can work towards a poverty-free Canada! Check out our stories, share the infographics on social media, and add your voice to over 12,000 individuals, organizations, and government representatives who support the Dignity For All model anti-poverty plan.

Fatayer are middle eastern little pockets filled with all sorts of fillings. Savory fillings like spinach, meat or cheese are the most popular. Fatayer are usually have triangular or boat-like shape. Very tasty filled with almost anything you want, but this feta, and mint combination makes the Fatayer irresistible.
How to make fatayer dough?
Fatayer dough is so easy to make, it really does not require any special skills. A yeast dough is made for fatayer and you leave it to rise. Roll, fill and cut that's it. I like adding dry milk to most of my doughs simply because it makes the dough more tender and soft.
- In your mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt yeast and dry milk mixing well.
- Add oil and mix. Add water gradually until the dough comes together.
- knead by hand for another 3-4 minutes until you have a nice soft dough.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let it double in size.
How to make fatayer cheese?
- Make the filling, in this case it is cheese, parsley, dry or fresh mint and one egg to hold everything together.
- Take the dough out, punch and divide into two parts. Roll first part into a rectangle.
- Spread half the filling along the longer side of the rectangle and start rolling from the far side to you until it forms a log.
- Divide each log into 8 equal parts.
- Brush each part with oil.
- You can bake like this or with a wooden spoon press in the middle to make a nice fan like shape. Bake until top is golden brown.
- Fatayer can take different shapes, the most common ones are boat and triangular ones, but today I've prepared my Fatayer in a new interesting shape. You can use the same dough and form your fatayer however you like.
- The filling is also so tasty, it is a combination of feta cheese, parsley, and dried or fresh mint, the exact ratio is up to you, there is no right or wrong here I recommend tasting the filling before adding the egg.
- You can use any other kind of cheese like mozzarella, ricotta, or any other kind that you feel will fit your taste. For us we preferred using feta crumbles which are dry and have a pleasant tartness that when combined with mint and parsley comes out very appealing to everyone in my family.
- Although homemade is the best but if you are pressed in time or do not want to make the dough from scratch you can use store-bought pizza dough or even biscuit dough.
Fatayer are soft and fluffy, they are perfect as a snack or lunch, they are also very common as a side dish or a starter in the holy month of Ramadan.
Look how chubby these are 🤗. These are dangerous, dangerous by all means..... I've warned you.
- Spinach fatayer are a type of savory pastry that are commonly enjoyed in Lebanese cuisine. Fluffy dough with slightly crisp exterior hugging the most delicious tart spinach filling for an enjoyable satisfying snack.
- Sambusa or Samosas are triangular shaped pastry filled with spicy vegetables or meat mixture. Very popular through the Middle East, India and many other countries. Here is an easy samosa recipe for snacking or as a party appetizer.
If you like this recipe do not forget to give it a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ star rating and attach a photo of your finished dish. It is always a pleasure of mine to see your photos and check your own take of the recipe. Thank you.
- 2 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ Tablespoon yeast.
- ½ Tablespoon sugar.
- 3 Tablespoon dry milk.
- ¼ cup olive oil.
- 1 cup warm water.
For the cheese filling
- 1 cup feta cheese.
- 2 Tablespoon parsley- chopped.
- 2 Tablespoon dry or fresh mint.
- 1 egg
Make the dough:
- In a large bowl or your mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt yeast and dry milk mixing well.
- Add oil and mix, then add water, mix the dough then knead by hand for another 3-4 minutes until you have a nice soft dough.
- Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour in a warm place.
Make the filling:
- Meanwhile prepare the filling by combining all the ingredients together mixing well.
Assemble and bake:
- Divide the dough in half. Take the first half and roll into a rectangle.
- Spread half of the filling in the rectangle then roll to form a log.
- Cut the long into 1.5 to 2 inches length, or less according to your desire. Then brush with oil.
- Using a wooden stick, make an indentation in the middle of each piece .
- Bake for 12-15 minutes in a 400F preheated oven.
- Let it cool down and Enjoy!!
Hi Amira! I’m trying this out for Ramadan and they look delicious. I used real milk (3/4) instead of milk powder and water but it still looks the same. Thank you for the recipe I’m so excited to eat these with iftar.
So glad it worked for you Mayadah, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Ramadan Mubarak.
Love the shapes you created by rolling the dough and cutting it. It's so much faster than making each fatayer (pie) individually. Thank you!
Thanks Amira, sometimes we need to find workaround for our busy lives :).
These are so delicious, I came back the next day to make another batch! I was worried the dough was to sticky but it came out perfect when I rolled them into a log, this technique was absolutely Genius! Thank you Amira for another fool proof recipe, that absolutely was a hit!
I have tried several recipes for Fatayer and Manakeesh and I must admit that this is the best so far. I followed the recipe exactly and the outcome was excellent. Even on the next day, they remained soft and did not dry out. I tried it with mince stuffing and added mozzarella to the cheese ones to give it a bit of leathery feel.
Great recipe ! Thanks Amira.
Thank you SK for your comment and feedback, I am happy you liked it. And yes feel free to play with the filling I bet it was delicious.
Hi. Just trying to make this ans realised I haven’t got dry milk. Can I use normal milk and if so how much do I use plz. Thanks
No problem Razia, just start by 3/4 cup of warm milk instead of using dry milk and do not forget to leave out water.
Do I have to put in the egg? I am worried there will be egg smell to it.
Measa, use whatever filling you like.. this is up to you.

Absent RAW Superstar sends a message to John Cena By
WWE RAW Superstar Veer Mahaan recently sent a heartfelt message to John Cena, praising him for his positive deeds outside of wrestling.
It’s no secret that apart from in-ring exploits and a thriving Hollywood career, Cena is always at the forefront of humanitarian causes. It’s safe to say that one of the biggest reasons for the 16-time world champion’s global popularity is his relentless efforts to participate in philanthropic activities.
A few minutes back, RAW Superstar Veer Mahaan responded to a tweet, highlighting John Cena’s Guinness World Record for fulfilling 650 wishes through the Make-A-Foundation. Mahaan tweeted a quote by literary icon Mark Twain and added that Cena was a “good man.”
Check out his tweet below:
“The two most important times in your life: When you are born…And when you understand why…..You’re a good man @JohnCena,” tweeted Veer Mahaan.
The two most important times in your life:
When you are born…
And when you understand why…..
— Veer Mahaan (@VeerMahaan) September 24, 2022
Veer Mahaan was seen on WWE RAW more than a month back on the show’s August 15th edition, where he won a squash match. A report emerging a couple of weeks back suggested that Triple H and the creative team seemingly have no imminent plans to push the Indian-origin star anytime soon.
Paul Heyman recently praised John Cena
In a recent interview with WrestleRant, Paul Heyman lavished praise on John Cena for his contributions to WWE, terming him a “real-life superhero.”
The WWE legend stated that he disdained Marvel and DC movies since he knew a superhero in real life in the form of Cena.
“I very often told my own children if I catch them watching a Marvel or DC movie because I personally hate Marvel and DC movies. I just hate superhero movies, just hate them, that’s just me and I’m right in my contempting disdain for them, but they ask me why, I tell them because I know a real-life superhero and his name is John Cena,” said Heyman.
Heyman believes that the Hollywood star remains a great representative and ambassador for WWE to this date:
“John is a real-life superhero, flaws and all, that’s a real-life hero, that’s a superhero in my book. And we should all aspire to be the type of interactive community uplifter that Cena is. And that’s why he was such a great, and still remains such a great representative and ambassador for WWE,” added Heyman.
"I know a real-life superhero and his name is John Cena,
We should all aspire to be the type of interactive community uplifter that Cena is."

Cena last stepped inside a ring at SummerSlam 2021, where he lost to Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. His last WWE appearance was at RAW’s June 27th episode, where he celebrated his 20th anniversary with the promotion.
Do you wish to see John Cena return to WWE for another match sometime down the line? Sound off in the comments section below.

I've made this recipe for years, usually at Easter. I found the recipe in an old The New Joys of Jello recipe book, circa 1975. The recipe in the book calls for 1/8 teaspoon of ginger, not cinnamon. Ginger and pears go perfectly together. If you've tried this recipe with cinnamon and didn't care for it, try it with ground ginger. It's excellent.
I have made this salad several times. My family loves it! The last time I made it I used cherry Jell-O with chopped fruit cocktail. Delicious! This recipe is a difinite keeper!
I really enjoy the taste & it's a realitively easy summer salad. I've made it a few times now & have it in my recipe box on your site & have a copy printed up also. I would think it would be good to take to a party also.

Our recycling service is the vital link to make our product lifecycle truly sustainable and a part of a Circular Economy.
Our plastic recycling program
With over 30 years of expertise and knowledge within the plastics industry, we promote sustainable recycling solutions for all Corex products and most other plastics. The Corex Group are the market leaders in plastic recycling within Australia and globally.
Every sheet of Corflute® is invited to be brought back. We supply industrial size recycling bins called Corpaks® to our clients and distribution partners. We process and recycle all plastic we receive on site. All processed material returned to us has a use within Corex Plastics.
Corex Recycling had one of its largest infrastructure upgrades in 2017. The new infrastructure helped cater for rising demands and doubled the pre-existing recycling output. It also allowed for new opportunities to explore previously unseen specialized polymer streams with Corflute and beyond.
What happens to the plastic that’s brought back to Corex Recycling?
Developed by some of the leading experts in the plastic trade, Corex Recycling garners a no-expense spared array of equipment. Allowing top of the line filtration systems, contamination detection and schematics that indicate every step of the recycling process to trained operators.
We process and recycle every kilogram of plastic we receive on site. That means that we do not export anything! All of the processed material returned to us has a use within Corex Plastics or with other local plastic manufacturers that make recycled products.
Detect and shred
Checking for contaminants in the feed-stock is the first step in ensuring the quality of our recycled polymers. This includes lab testing and visual spot checks of the material before shredding which delivers the required size for further purification.
Heat and melt
Material is then passed through a sensitive metal detector on it’s way to the Cutter Compactor where it’s heated, densified and if required, mixed with additives to achieve the required specification. The next step is the heart of the purification process where the material enters a purpose built melt filtering extruder.
This state of the art filtration process insures that our polymers are on specification and fit for purpose. The now molten polymer is passed through fine mesh screens which eliminate pariculates such as paper and PET.
Extruding, cutting & cooling
Polymer pellets are created in a water ring pelletiser, then undergo a centrifugal drying process on their way to the bagging station where regular sampling is carried out. These samples are lab tested to ensure the resin is on spec for Corex Plastics’ Rebound and other 100% recycled products.

The Office of the Ombudsman can proceed with its investigation into allegations about Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla’s involvement in the pork barrel scam after the Supreme Court rejected his petition to stop the probe.
Revilla had asked the Court for a temporary restraining order against the investigation. Instead, the Court’s Third Division directed the Ombudsman and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to comment on the senator’s petition within 10 days.
Revilla is one of several lawmakers accused of releasing part of their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel to questionable non-government organizations (NGOs) owned by Janet Lim Napoles.
Supreme Court spokesman Theodore Te said the Court issued the resolution “without necessarily giving due course” to Revilla’s petition.
Revilla has denied having any transaction with Napoles, insisting that his signature on documents releasing his pork barrel to the NGOs was forged.
Two other senators—Juan Ponce Enrile and Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada—are facing plunder charges for allegedly getting commissions from projects funded by their PDAF.
The Senate blue ribbon committee is holding its own inquiry into the pork barrel scheme.
On Thursday, Estrada said he is not expecting the committee to come up with a “fair” report on its investigation, and he can’t do anything about it once the majority members of the Senate sign the report.
Estrada said he would have to face the charges in court in case the committee recommends the filing charges against him, Enrile and Revilla.
“Was it fair when they conducted hearings before? Was it fair when the chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee already made a conclusion? Was it fair for other senators to use that forum at our own expense? You maybe the judge,” Estrada said.
Estrada scored the way some members of the blue ribbon panel behaved during past committee hearings.
He cited the statements of committee chairman Teofisto Guingona 3rd after hearing the testimony of socialite Ruby Tuason, in which he said Guingona had prejudged him as guilty of accepting kickbacks from his PDAF.
Tuason had testified that she personally delivered the kickbacks at Estrada’s Senate office and his residence in San Juan City.
Guingona accepted Tuason’s statement as gospel truth and came up with his own conclusion, Estrada said.
“That hearing was supposed to be in aid of legislation but what happened was that it is in aid of 2016 elections,” Estrada added.
The senator also said he is expecting the worst once the Ombudsman begins to hear the plunder case “because of the trial by publicity, the publicity generated by this so-called scam, they might give in.
He said he has no idea what charges would be filed against him if the Ombudsman brings the case before the Sandiganbayan.

Spring has come.
For a first-timer to experience the beauty of O-Hanami (flower sight-seeing) in Japan, it’s fascinating. Here in the land of the rising sun, Sakura flowers thrive and bloom in the most scenic setting one can ever imagine, ranging from pure white to dark pink colors.
Two weeks ago, we went to Shinjuku National Park and a few famous temples in Yokohama such as Soji-ji and josho-ji to capture Sakura flowers in the most “zen-ish” environment. With credits to my beloved friends, I shall share some of the photos here.

Canadian MP Jody Wilson-Raybould was once booted from the Liberal Birthday celebration through Justin Trudeau. May just she be the only to take him down?
If Jody Wilson-Raybould had her personal walk-up music, like primary league baseball athletes, then no doubt Future’s Kid’s Impartial Girl would play each time she went as much as bat.
The 48-year-old MP is operating as an impartial within the upcoming election, having been kicked out of the Liberal Birthday celebration through Mr Trudeau for going public along with her proceedings about how he attempted to drive her to chop a maintain Quebec corporate SNC Lavalin.
Despite the fact that she was once courted through a number of different events, she says she in the end made up our minds to head it by myself as an impartial in order that she may escape from the “hyper-partisan” politics of Parliament Hill.
“We want to, up to we will be able to, take off our partisan hats and feature discussions about problems,” she tells the BBC.
- A deepening disaster for Trudeau – what SNC scandal approach
- Is Trudeau in bother?
Taking a look again, Canada’s first indigenous legal professional normal says she “by no means anticipated” to be on this place, however that she would no longer exchange her movements.
“I feel it was once an unlucky choice on his section, however I am embracing the truth of being an impartial candidate,” she says.
Now Ms Wilson-Raybould may play a deciding function within the Liberal Birthday celebration’s destiny when Canadians head to the polls on 21 October. Since being booted from caucus, she has transform an emblem for Mr Trudeau’s perceived weaknesses – his ties to company pursuits, his superficiality with regards to feminist and indigenous problems, and his heavy-handedness as a birthday celebration chief.
Fallout from the SNC Lavalin affair, in addition to the Liberal’s environmental document, have chipped away on the birthday celebration’s fortify within the town of Vancouver, the place her driving (district) of Vancouver-Granville is situated.
She received her race handily in 2015 as a Liberal, beating the runner-up New Democratic Birthday celebration (NDP) candidate – Canada’s left-leaning birthday celebration – through 17 issues. If she wins once more as an impartial, that will likely be one much less seat the Liberals take to parliament, and polls display they do not have many they are able to find the money for to lose in the event that they wish to hang onto energy.
Despite the fact that she does not have the Liberal’s giant election gadget to again her up this time round, she says being impartial has its benefits as it frees her from partisan showboating and permits her to paintings with whoever has the most efficient proposal for Canadians.
“No birthday celebration has a monopoly at the reality, and indubitably no birthday celebration has all the answers to the problems we are dealing with as a rustic,” she says.
Leaving the Liberal Birthday celebration has additionally allowed her to remark freely on Mr Trudeau’s different scandal, the discharge of pictures appearing him dressed in blackface sooner than he was once elected to parliament.
“I don’t imagine there may be anyplace for people who find themselves entrusted with the general public consider, or in positions of energy and authority to have interaction in process like that,” she says.
- How destructive is blackface scandal to Trudeau?
- 5 issues to learn about Canada’s election
Born to a political circle of relatives, her father Invoice Wilson was once a hereditary leader and crucial campaigner for indigenous rights in Canada.
In 1983, he advised Top Minister Pierre Trudeau – Justin Trudeau’s father – that he had two daughters who each sought after to be attorneys and in the future high minister.
His remark would end up prophetic. She studied legislation at her father’s alma mater, the College of British Columbia. She labored as a Crown prosecutor, then turned into all for indigenous politics, and was once elected regional leader of the BC Meeting of First International locations in 2009.
In 2015, the Liberal Birthday celebration tapped her to run within the federal election for the driving of Vancouver-Granville. She received her seat and was once appointed through Mr Trudeau to transform Canada’s first indigenous justice minister and legal professional normal (one individual has each roles in Canada, in contrast to in the United Kingdom).
As legal professional normal, she helped herald landmark law, together with legalising hashish and assisted demise. She was once continuously pointed to within the press for instance of Mr Trudeau’s fashionable, feminist method to politics.
However Ms Wilson-Raybould discovered herself underneath a unique roughly highlight final February, when the Globe and Mail newspaper reported on a falling out between her and Mr Trudeau over her choice to prosecute SNC Lavalin.
The Quebec company was once accused of bribing officers in Libya to win contracts underneath Muammar Gaddafi’s regime. It were lobbying the federal government for a deal that might keep away from prosecution.
- Trudeau vs Wilson-Raybould: In a nutshell
Ms Wilson-Raybould says she was once subjected to mounting drive from the federal government to chop the deal, which might have long gone in opposition to the recommendation of her prison group of workers. Mr Trudeau says he was once involved that if SNC Lavalin went to courtroom, they would pull out of Quebec and it will value hundreds of jobs.
In January, amid a cupboard shuffle, she was once moved out of the justice ministry and given the task of minister of veteran’s affairs, a job she and lots of others seen as a demotion. Mr Trudeau denied it was once retaliation.
Quickly after, she resigned from cupboard, as did her good friend MP Jane Philpott, who mentioned “there is usually a value to performing on one’s ideas, however there’s a larger value to leaving behind them”. In reaction, Mr Trudeau ejected them each from the Liberal caucus, accusing them of no longer being workforce avid gamers.
Ms Wilson-Raybould says she was once vindicated in August, when the ethics commissioner discovered that Mr Trudeau “used his place of authority over Ms Wilson‑Raybould to hunt to persuade, each without delay and not directly, her choice”, which violated ethics regulations.
The Royal Canadian Fixed Police have mentioned they’re reviewing the SNC Lavalin affair to look if additional prison court cases are required.
Despite the fact that standard protection of the scandal to begin with harm Mr Trudeau within the polls, he has since rebounded.
Requested as to how her personal private opinion of the high minister has modified, Ms Wilson-Raybould prefers to demur.
She says she would possibly discuss it publicly in the future, however for now, she simply has the election on her thoughts.
“I am within the position the place I want to be. And the high minister is operating for his driving, and should make sure that he can glance himself within the replicate on the finish of the day, which all of us need to do.”

PINELLAS PARK, Fla.--Neiman Marcus is offering catalog merchandise at bargain prices, at a temporary, 20,000-square-foot warehouse here that offers almost entirely women's apparel. The store, opened last Thursday, is called the Neiman Marcus Catalog Warehouse Sell-Off Store. A joint venture between the Dallas-based retailer and Gordon Bros., a liquidator and retail consulting firm in Boston, the store is expected to operate for three months. Approximately $4 million worth of first-run catalog merchandise is featured in the store. Neiman Marcus is promoting it as the largest catalog consolidation sale in the 80-year history of the company's mail order division. Prices, said Audrey Miller, manager of the softgoods division at Gordon Bros., will be 50 percent off original catalog prices. "Price points will range from $15 to $250," said Miller, who reported that all categories of women's apparel will be sold. All merchandise was being shipped from Dallas, she said, and would include such vendors as DKNY, Christian Dior, Emanuel and Neiman Marcus private label. "We chose this location because of its close proximity to so many markets," she said, adding that she expected customers from nearby Tampa and St. Petersburg as well as Sarasota and Bradenton. "This is a big vacation area with lots of tourists this time of year." The store began a heavy run of print and radio ads last week. Neiman Marcus and Miller declined to comment on how much volume they expect the store to generate or disclose exact catalog surplus figures. "We did a similar sale for them in Cape Cod last year and did extremely well," said Miller.

“Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” by Crosby, Stills, & Nash – Rayman’s Song of the Day [VIDEO]
On this day in 1969…Crosby, Stills & Nash released the single “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” written by Stephen Stills for his girlfriend of two years, singer Judy Collins, who was leaving him for actor Stacy Keach. My only question is why would she leave a singer songwriter for an actor? Isn’t that sort of like exchanging a brown pair of loafers for tan ones because you don’t like the color?

A former Governor of the old Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war is too slow, adding that the President should have arrested at least 30 ex-governors and some former ministers by now.
The former governor said this during an interview with Punch Newspapers on Tuesday.
When asked if Buhari’s anti-corruption war was partisan as alleged by the Peoples Democratic Party, Balarabe said the concern of every Nigerian should be if those accused of corruption are guilty or not.
He said only four ex-governors had been quizzed by anti-graft agencies since Buhari took over in May and it was not enough to conclude that the anti-corruption war was skewed in favour of the All Progressives Congress.
He said, “I will not bring politics into this matter. Anybody who is alleged to be corrupt should be dealt with regardless of tribe or party affiliation. I don’t care if the accused person is from the PDP or the APC. The law must take its course.
“I cannot say the anti-corruption war is skewed in favour of the APC because a lot of people have not yet been arrested. I think only three or five ex-governors have been arrested. As far as the anti-corruption campaign is concerned, at least 30 ex-governors and ex-ministers should have been arrested.
“This is because the system is such that virtually every leader is a thief. It is difficult not to be a thief under this system. So, the anti-corruption war should be holistic. At least 30 ex-officials should be facing trial. We cannot say the anti-graft war is selective when less than five ex-governors and ministers have been arrested.
“So, partisanship should not be brought into this. The moment a person is accused and there is evidence against him, he should be dealt with.”

He is known as the heartthrob from the “High School Musical” movies but now he is staring in a film called “The Lucky One” and we are lucky that there isn’t any singing or dancing in this one; also he isn’t a teenager anymore. He is 24 years old now and is proving that there can be life after high school.
In his latest movie “The Lucky One” he plays a Marine on his third tour in Iraq. He had to train to carry a 80 pound flat jacket loaded with full weaponry and learn how to disarm someone carrying a gun. No dancing or singing here. In the Movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, curiosity about the stray photograph of a woman leads him out of danger when a bomb goes off. The curiosity of the picture leads him to find the woman. Yes a romantic war movie.
Zac loved it and got a agent and with the help of his mom who drove him 3 hours one way to casting calls soon got bit parts on TV like a gun shot victim on ER and as a child on the sci-fi series Firefly. The paycheck from that role made his father believe that he should pursue acting. Caching! Besides, the man didn’t save any money for Zac’s college funds. So, when he landed the part in High School musical, it kept him busy for another 3 years.
It became a three movie blockbuster. It was a hit because the teens did more blushing than kissing, a safe movie you could trust your kids to be able to see. The music became number one on I Tunes and became the best selling Album of 2006. Zac didn’t actually sing in the first movie because he was still squeaking from a boys to a man’s sound, yes, puberty problems.
He chooses to “take the harder route” and give a try as a dramatic actor. Sure, every doctor or lawyer should try something different from what they are successful at. Really?
In 2008 he stared in a drama in “Me and Orson Wells’ that was a hit with the critics but no one saw it. Then in 2010 in another drama “ Charlie Saint Cloud” where the critics and the fans hated it. “The Lucky One” is only his second grown up role with love scenes that go well beyond a first kiss.
So, don’t let your little girls that know him from the musicals see this one unless you want them seeing a older Zac having full sex scenes. He is a guy that has had a lucky run that is now willing to gamble his teen idolness for a shot at something very different. Action, drama and sex. What time is the movie on?

I was going to post a video of Peter Griffin doing his "Ding, Fries are done" thing, because I'm still stressed out and am doing my best to preserve both my sanity and the reason for the season. I even had hubby look it up for me while I was at work to make sure it had the audio and everything. Then I didn't get it posted while I was at work, and I've been "helping" get the house ready by folding laundry pretty much since I got home. With the exception of dinner and a couple of random heroics.
I heard this on my way home, and it almost brought me to tears. Michael Crawford (of Phantom of the Opera fame) singing O Holy Night. If I had to pick a favorite Christmas hymn, it's O Holy Night. My church growing up had a liturgical dance group who would traditionally perform a candlelit dance to this song on Christmas Eve, and for 15 years or so, I was up there with them. There is something eerie and just beautiful about his voice, and to hear him singing this song... like I said, I was almost crying in the car.
If you need a bit of "reason for the season" yourself, I highly recommend this. HIGHLY.
