SUPPORTING VICTORIA’S NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSES
The Andrews Labor Government is continuing to support the vital work of Neighbourhood Houses as hubs for community connection, the delivery of essential services and the well-being of Victorians.
The Government is reaffirming its enduring support for the valuable work of the community hubs with $19 million in additional funding over three years – as well as ongoing annual funding of $6.6 million – for the network of nearly 400 Neighbourhood Houses right across the state.
Neighbourhood Houses encourage community connection and cohesion by bringing local people together to socialise in a safe, inclusive and convenient space, participate in recreational activities and deliver essential services.
The hubs provide childcare, employment, education, training and opportunities to volunteer in local communities.
During emergencies, Neighbourhood Houses provide critical support to communities through services like food relief.
The Neighbourhood Houses have been particularly important during the pandemic, with many distributing personal protective equipment, providing advice and acting as testing or vaccination sites.
The hubs are also instrumental in providing accessible education to the community, ensuring people from a diverse range of backgrounds have the opportunity to study and learn new skills that enable people to achieve their potential.
In 2022-23, the Neighbourhood House Coordination Program is investing record funding of more than $42 million a year to almost 400 Neighbourhood Houses, 16 Neighbourhood House networks and the peak body Neighbourhood Houses Victoria.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers Colin Brooks
“We are proud to continue to support Neighbourhood Houses, enabling them to play a vital role in successfully building vibrant Victorian communities.”
“The powerful role of Neighbourhood Houses has never been more evident than the way the sector stepped up to provide assistance to Victorians through the pandemic.”


125 years after they were looted at the palace of Benin, two artefacts, a Cockerel (Okpa) and Uhunwun Elao (Oba Head), were formally handed over to the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II in an elaborate ceremony last week.
The two artefacts, out of about 10,000 taken from the palace during the British expedition of 1897, were returned by Jesus College of Cambridge University and University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
The ceremony attracted prominent Benin sons and daughters, members of the royal family, societies and groups in the kingdom, the Director-General, National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), Professor Abba Tijani, the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Tunji Ishola, traditional rulers from Edo North and Edo Central, representative of the Ooni of Ife, the Hausa and Yoruba communities, the Muslim community, men of the various security agencies among others.
While officially handing over the items to Oba Ewuare II, Ishola said the two items had been preserved in their original forms when they were taken away 125 years ago and the value of the Cockerel today is £2 million while the Oba Head is valued at £500,000.
He said he was delighted that the works would now be domiciled in their homes of origin and researchers would write about them talking to their real owners.
Ishola said the works were returned with the history of who had housed them right from 1897 till date and how much it was sold or bought at each point.
Website Designing/Management/Social Media – Iyanu Victor
“My assignment here is to directly bring these objects to the Oba of Benin Kingdom. That is the presidential directive.
“Value has been added to these artefacts. I am not aware of the value as at when it was taken away but as at today, the Cockerel is valued at £2million while the Oba’s head is valued and insured for £500,000 pounds. We will still see many of them come back and it is a great treasure for Benin Kingdom and Nigeria.”
Also speaking, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, represented by his Chief of Staff, Osaigbovo Iyoha, pledged to support the palace in the return of the artefacts.

He said any institution willing to return the artefacts should liaise with the palace.
Oba Ewuare II, in his speech read by his younger brother, Prince Aghatise Erediauwa, said it was a day of joy personally “and to all Benin people at home and in Diaspora”.
“We are witnessing today the beginning of the restitution of our artefacts which were looted in 1897,” he added.
“For us, our bronze does not transcend mere art. They are mostly of religious significance to us and these two bronze pieces will return to where they rightly belong.
“I will reiterate that the bronze and other works that were looted from the palace must be returned back here directly or through the agency of the federal government,” the monarch explained.
While expressing appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for expressly directing that the two bronzes be handed to him directly, the Benin monarch also commended both Jesus College of Cambridge University and the University of Aberdeen for their pace-setting initiative in returning these two bronzes.
AU Demands Return of Africa’s Artefacts from Europe
Meanwhile, AU has added its voice to the call on European countries to return Africa’s artefacts in their possession.
President of AU, Mr. Macky Sall, made this known during his speech at the ongoing EU-AU summit in Brussels.
He said the restitution of African works would remain a matter of high priority, insisting that they were part of Africa’s ‘civilisational identity’.
“If we want to build a new Europe-Africa relational ethic, based on respect and recognition of historical facts, we must pursue the work already started through the recommendations of the Savoy-Sarr report,” Sall explained.
His position was part of the eight proposals by African leaders as their contribution to the new partnership with Europe.
As colonial masters ‘conquered’ Africa, thousands of its cultural artefacts were stolen. The conquerors took Africans as slaves to work on plantations and to build their countries while the artefacts were displayed in museums.
For instance, in 1897, the British launched a punitive expedition against Benin, in response to an attack on a British diplomatic expedition.
Apart from bronze sculptures and plaques, innumerable royal objects were taken as a result of the mission and these are scattered all over the world.
While restitution has begun, Sall’s call has reinforced the stance of the African people on the ruins of colonialism and the clamour for the return of their stolen heritage.
Sall also called for a revision of the investment risk evaluation criteria in Africa, noting that, “the risk perception remains considerably higher than the real risk, which results in high insurance costs, penalises investment and reduces competitiveness of our economies.”

Man o Salwa Umera Ahmad PDF Download
Man o Salwa Urdu Novel is written by Umera Ahmad and shared in the category of Urdu Novels 2018. Man o Salwa Urdu Novel by Umera Ahmad is available for Reading online and PDF Download. Man o Salwa by Umera Ahmad Online Reading. Man o Salwa by Umera Ahmad is a social romantic novel published in a monthly digest. It is one of the best novels of Umera Ahmad. The story is simple yet very interesting on the social subject.
It is a romance novel with strong moral. The writer wants to reform the society through her creations. It is a famous Urdu novel. Umera Ahmad is a Pakistani author and screenwriter.

She acquired various awards including ‘Best Writer Award’ in Lux Style Award for the drama serial Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan.
Basic topic and theme of Man o Salwa is earning “Halal Money”. Man o Salwa was provided to “Bani Israel” as a gift of Allah. The “Man” was sweet beans or small particles like thing which use to fell from the sky like due drops. Salwa was like bird “Batair” which came in numbers to their area and they caught it as their food. “Bani Israel” used to eat this food for forty years. After that, they started asking “Hazrat Moosa A.S” for worldly food. After reading about “Man o Salwa” I thought that there is a resemblance between “Man o Salwa” and “Halal Rizq”. Both of them are very easy to gain. It was difficult for “Bani Israel” to live on “Man o Salwa” as so is the case for us with “Halal Rizq”. They used to make fun of “Man o Salwa” and we use to make fun of “Halal Rizq”. We want a shortcut in life. They are cursed by Allah and why not we. This similarity between them and us is saddening as well heart rendering. I have little knowledge about the topic and this is my own opinion which can be wrong. “Man o Salwa” is not an Islamic book or scholarly fiction – Umaira Ahmed.

It Was Rob Lowe’s Roast, But Ann Coulter Is the One Who Seemed to Get Burned the Most
At the taping of the Comedy Central special, the outspoken conservative pundit took a real beating from some of the her fellow roasters.
“Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive,” said British comedian Jimmy Carr. “It’s not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself.” Eeek. Coulter reportedly made the appearance on the infamous NSFW event to promote her new book.
Here are more cracks and whips from the roasters, including Roast Master David Spade, comedians Jeffrey Ross and Nikki Glaser, singer Jewel, former NFL star Peyton Manning and SNL’s Pete Davidson, courtesy of E! News:
“Ann, you are awful. The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave” – Nikki Glaser
“Rob Lowe. Or as the girls in the sex tape said, ‘Rob, no'” – Jeffrey Ross
“SNL just released a compilation of David Spade’s funniest sketches. It’s called The Best of Chris Farley”—Rob Lowe
“I’m not the only athlete up here. As you know earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby.” – Peyton Manning
“Peyton Manning is a two-time Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Famer but it didn’t give him a big head. That came from years of inbreeding” – Rob Lowe
“Rob’s secret to having his face looking so young? Having over 1,000 woman sit on it” – David Spade
“Last year, we had Martha Stewart, who sells sheets and now we have Ann Coulter who cuts eye holes in them” – Pete Davidson
“Jeff Ross [who was dressed as Prince] is going to party like it’s 1999. Ann Coulter is going to vote like it’s 1899″ – Jewel
“For years, Rob Lowe had a sex addiction, but he cured it by getting less famous” – David Spade
“Rob defies…age restrictions. You’re a f–king Adonis. Look at you. You look like you were sculpted. You put the statue in statutory rape” – Nikki Glaser
The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe airs on Comedy Central on Labor Day at 10PM.

((If the United States invaded Iraq right now it could only do so from
one direction, one post, one country: Kuwait. The U-S had planned to
base another 60,000 troops on Iraqs northern border. But Turkeys prime
minister wont say whether his parliament will reconsider a decision to
block that deployment.
Without Turkey's airstrips, coalition troops would have to use the more
primitive runways in northern Iraq. Supply lines would be stretched thin
and get worse if Saddam destroys dams to flood the southern roads.
"If Turkey sticks to its decision, the U-S would probably have to add
more ground troops to the thousands already here."

this tiny country.

involved in any attack.

is to make a dramatic move on the issue of compliance and particularly on disarmament.

The Pentagon says North Korean forces intercepted a U-S Air Force jet over the weekend.
Navy Lieutenant Commander Jeff Davis says it involved a reconnaissance aircraft that was on a routine mission in international airspace, about 150 miles off North Korea's coast.
Four North Korean MIG's shadowed the U-S plane for more than 20 minutes.
The closest the planes got was within 50 feet.
At one point, Davis says, one of the North Korean planes locked radar on the U-S jet. However no shots were fired, and the U-S plane returned safely to its base in Japan.
The last similar incident was in 1969, when North Korea shot down a U-S surveillance plane, killing some 30 people aboard.
State Police say an illegal U-turn is the cause of an accident that injured two people and backed up traffic on Interstate-81 today.
A car and two tractor trailers crashed into the median near where 581 meets 81-North.

The comedy "Old School" remained in second place earning a little less that 14 million dollars.
After spending its first two weeks at the top, "Daredevil" fell to the third spot.
``How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days'' and ``Chicago'' rounded out the top five.
Some people might consider it the equivalent of flushing their money down the toilet.

They are flocking to a Hong Kong jewelry store.
An entire bathroom costs seven-point-six- million dollars.

Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 AH75/85/100 and HL125 aerial device vehicles equipped with 16-foot radial outriggers. An improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system during assembly. As a result, the cylinder could loosen from the rod allowing the outrigger leg to protrude beyond the confines of the chassis when it is in a stowed position.
If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.
Altec will notify owners, and will increase the torque on the piston free of charge. Altec has not provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Altec Industries at 1-877-462-5832.

this one sounds even easier to make: bubble snakes = easy quick craft. Cut the bottom off water bottle. Put old sock over bottom and duct tape. Add food coloring for fun. Dip end in dish soap mixed with a little water
This would be a fun idea for kids and a great use for all those toilet paper rolls I can't throw away! Chopsticks or tweezers for fine motor skills, used to pick up and drop pom-poms into color matched toilet paper rolls.

Bravo to Pam Jenoff, the author of “Code Name Sapphire” for writing such a powerful, memorable, heartfelt, and thought-provoking novel. Pam Jenoff, is a master writer, storyteller, and researcher, who vividly describes her characters, events, and landscape during World War Two. In “Code Name Sapphire”, Pam Jenoff describes the brutality, tragedies, and horrors of life and death. The author discusses espionage, betrayal, the importance of the resistance, as well as the necessity and importance to survive.
The author describes her dramatic characters as complex and complicated. Some are courageous, and some will do anything to survive. There is an obvious contrast between good and evil. The men and women in the resistance risk their lives and others. After a tragic loss, Hannah escapes Nazi Germany and finally finds refuge with her cousin Lily in Brussels. Hannah is used to underground work and resumes it with the “Sapphire Line”, which is a secret resistant network, that is run by a mysterious woman.
Hannah does what she has to do, but after a terrible mistake, Lily and her family are deported to Auschwitz. Hannah has to find the courage to make the correct decisions. I devoured this power-packed, thought-provoking novel, and I would highly recommend this memorable and heartbreaking book to others. I appreciate that Pam Jenoff shows the importance of sisterhood, courage, family, love and hope.

The night before St. Patrick's Day, a friend and I got together to make some festive foods for the occasion. On the menu: Irish soda bread, green salad with homemade green goddess dressing, and potato-leek soup.
For the Irish soda bread, we followed the recipe in The Joy of Vegan Baking, but split it in half, using regular flour for one mini loaf and Bob's Red Mill's All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour for the other. Neither of us had ever used this gluten-free flour before, so we weren't entirely sure what to expect.
Immediately upon opening the bag, A remarked that it smelled like hay. I sniffed and confirmed this statement. With trepidation, we mixed our separate batches and plopped the batters into the mini pans and cut our Xes on top.
Regular flour loaf (Before)
gluten-free flour loaf (Before)
Regular flour loaf (After)
Gluten-free loaf (After)
The gluten-free loaf was DISGUSTING, and I think the GF flour is to blame. It smelled weird, and it tasted way too earthy: like grass and dirt and who knows what else. It's made with garbanzo, potato starch, tapioca, sorghum, and fava bean flours. This blend of flours is not a good fit for such a simple recipe, and I'm hesitant to use it in sweeter baked goods (cakes or cookies) because I feel that the earthy flavor will overpower it. I don't plan on using this flour in the future.
I tasted the regular loaf, and it was okay. Nothing spectacular, but that's kind of what Irish soda bread is all about. A didn't like it at all, though.
Moving on to the salad -- we used this FatFree Vegan Kitchen recipe for the dressing. (This dressing is not actually fat free, but it's much lower in fat and calories than the Annie's version.) This was a breeze to make. We upped the garlic content a bit, so that plus the green onion made for quite a tangy dressing. (Personally, I feel that two whole green onions was too much for my tastes, but I have issues with onions to begin with.)
Salads were a success! On to the soup!
We followed another Colleen recipe for the potato-leek soup, this one coming from The Vegan Table (which is an absolutely GORGEOUS cookbook). This is only my second time (knowingly) eating leeks, so I was pretty excited to cook with them. (Yes, they are related to onions, but they're quite mild and don't bother me.) We pureed most of the soup, which made it velvety smooth. A had some Follow Your Heart cheddar and some Bac-Uns on hand for toppings, which I tried, but really, the soup is just perfect as is.
So there you have it: one failure overshadowed by two successes! Sounds like good luck to me.

In the sky of the Arab world, before sunrise, on Friday, December 31, 2021, the crescent moon, the planet Mars and the star Antares wanes regularly in a celestial triangle that decorates the eastern horizon. Mars has been moving behind the sun from our perspective on Earth for several months, but late December is a good time to start observing the red planet as it heads toward its brightest star a year from now in December 2022. Mars is almost visible before sunrise but a crescent moon will help the declining moon position the planet On the last morning of 2021 as well as seeing another red body called Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius. Read also Sunday .. “The Last Quarter” decorates the sky of the Arab world, the heart of the scorpion is the red body to the right of Mars, on Friday morning, and the scene will be different for those who live in the southern hemisphere. Viewers will see this event from a different angle with respect to the horizon. According to the Jeddah Astronomical Society, from this part of the world, Mars will be closer to the horizon than Antares, while the Moon will be to the left of Antares, but in general the trio will remain close and a sight that can be seen as the year ends. Because of the color of the red heart of Scorpio, it is sometimes thought of as Mars, the red planet, and sometimes the luminosity of Mars can even exceed the heart of Scorpio! But that wasn’t the case in late 2021. Mars – which has just come back from behind the sun as seen from Earth – is at its weakest now, far across the solar system from us, its luminosity (+1.5) while Antares (+1) which means it’s more A little brighter. Look toward the direction of the sunrise, as twilights begin to light up the sky as the beautiful crescent moon will be above the horizon, Mars and Otters are organized into an interesting celestial triangle, although we hope you can see the view with the naked eye, this trio is best seen through binoculars internal. .
A “celestial triangle” decorates the dawn of the last day in 2021

Yankees activate Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge on deck, but Gleyber Torres has quad issue
NEW YORK - Five weeks after landing back on the injured list, Giancarlo Stanton has returned and Aaron Judge isn't far behind.
The Yankees' slugging designated hitter was reinstated from the 10-day IL Tuesday afternoon, along with third baseman Gio Urshela and right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga.
Both Stanton and Urshela were in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday night's home series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.
However, shortstop Gleyber Torres was not in the lineup for a second straight game and is dealing with "a little bit of a quad'' issue according to manager Aaron Boone.
Gleyber's day-to-day status
The hero of Sunday's 3-1 victory against the Baltimore Orioles with an eighth inning pinch-hit, two-run double, Torres was rested from the starting lineup that day for maintenance.
Torres had recently completed a stint on the IL due to strains of his left quad and hamstring.
The Yankees had Monday off, so Torres might have been dealing with some discomfort for the past few days. He was available off the bench Tuesday according to Boone, who essentially labeled Torres as day to day.
Torres wanted to play Tuesday and "I'm not too concerned,'' said Boone, who was acting out of caution to avoid Torres' condition worsening. "This is something I don't want to become a bigger issue.''
The postseason starts in exactly two weeks and "if we were starting the playoffs today, he'd be playing,'' Boone said.
“As important as these games are, keeping him healthy and playing every day for us in the final days and into the playoffs is obviously very important,'' Boone said.
For now, "we'll kind of go day by day with him and make sure (the discomfort) is out of there completely before we get him back out.''
Judge on deck
The Yankees are expected to get Judge (strained right calf) back in their lineup as early as Wednesday.
“We’re going to build him up slowly, too,’’ Boone said, adding that he’s “confident’’ that Judge’s return is “imminent.’’
Tuesday at the club’s alternate site camp, Judge received seven at-bats during an intrasquad game, according to Conor Foley of Scranton’s Times-Tribune.
To make room on the active roster Tuesday, the Yankees have optioned third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andujar, first baseman Mike Ford and right-hander Clarke Schmidt to the alternate site camp.
Stanton has been sidelined since Aug. 9, due to a strained left hamstring.
New York Yankees injuries:Tracking when the players will return
Urshela was placed on the IL Sept. 4, due to the effects of a bone spur in his right elbow; he was given a cortisone injection last week.
Loaisiga was dealing with an undisclosed medical condition unrelated to COVID-19 and hasn't pitched since Sept. 1.
Stanton hadn't been in the Yankees' lineup since his hamstring tightened up on the bases during an Aug. 8 game at Tampa Bay.
After logging "a number of at-bats the last couple of days'' at the club's alternate site, Boone said that "everyone signed off that now is the time'' to activate Stanton.
"Excited to have him back,'' said Boone, adding that he'll "go slow in the buildup here'' with reacclimating Stanton fully into the lineup over the next few days.

Bowerston Village Council
Aug. 17 meeting
KEY ACTION Requested updating of wording for ordinance governing utility billing.
DISCUSSION Utility Clerk Janeen Scott advised council that the wording of the current ordinance governing utility billing, in regards to due date, late fees and disconnection date, needed clarification.
Scott reported that 77 of the village’s 278 utility accounts are currently on the list for disconnection. Scott said that she feels that the language of both the ordinance and on billing needs clarified so that customers have no doubts as to when their bills are due, and when their utilities will be disconnected from service.
A lengthy discussion took place regarding this matter. Scott advised Administrator Bart Busby that she feels that meters should be read by the 26th of the month, so that bills can be mailed by the end of each month.
Busby agreed to have this task completed by his department at Scott’s requested date. Council agreed that the due date for utility bills will remain the 17th of the month, with late fees being applied after that date.
Notices for disconnection will be issued on the 24th of the month and services will be disconnected on the first, for all unpaid bills. Notices will include the advice that should disconnection occur, a deposit of $250, as well as a reconnection fee of $25, will be applied to the account, and must be paid, prior to reconnection.
Scott further advised that she feels it is imperative for the village to have the capability of accepting credit/debit payments for utilities. Fiscal Officer Heidi Trice advised that she and Council President Paula Beamer have already entered into discussion with a representative of Unified Bank, and this payment option will be made available as soon as possible.
In other discussion, Council reviewed the numerous complaints received recently regarding motorcycles being parked on sidewalks, off road vehicles being driven on streets and alleys, trash violations, as well as numerous other offenses.
Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that as far as off road vehicles are concerned, the County Sheriff’s office should be contacted. In regards to licensable vehicles being parked on sidewalks, the village may issue a ticket in the amount of $20 every 24 hours for this offense.
Hokes further advised that structures built onto a sidewalk or roadway may be removed by village employees 48 hours after notification to the offending property owner(s). Other violations covered by village ordinances will be reviewed.
Hokes said that after Council reviews, ordinances can be updated to include fines for each violation. Council is expected to take immediate action on many violations that complaints have been received for.
• Accepted the retirement resignation of Utility Clerk Karen Kinney.
• Hired Janeen Scott as Utility Clerk at the salary of $550 per month, to be paid bi-weekly.

Busting Addiction and Its Myths
11 minutes | May 20, 2022
It’s Late in The Year For July
In this podcast, we see how addictive disorder proves itself to be an equal-opportunity predator, regardless of intelligence or achievement. We learn that: No one is exempt from the cunning, baffling, and powerful nature of this disorder. Intelligence and achievement are weak defences against addictive disease. It turns out that July, like so many other smart people, thought that she could outwit alcoholism, but found herself yet again on the losing end. Her defiance seemed to be fuelled by her confidence that came with being successful in a demanding job. She had a sense of uniqueness that ultimately caused her to assert that “this bullshit is not for me.” Even though we considered the intervention a success in that July did enter treatment, it seems her defiance caused her to take matters back into her own hands. Addicts are heedless to the pain they cause others, for at a certain point, the addiction takes over and reveals itself as a rapacious predator. It cares not about anything or anybody except to feed itself.

Uncle Francis Tried to Outrun it, But it Caught Him
In this podcast, we tell the story of Bruno Jr.’s Uncle Francis, we trace the history of his uncle’s survival during wartime and describe his downfall following his escape. We learn that: A man can survive almost anything and still be taken down by this disorder we call alcoholism. The power of family is evident in this story; it turns out that Francis was welcome wherever he went unless he was drinking. He was able to outwit and outrun the enemy except for the one inside of him. There was, however, no thought of treatment in those days. His legacy is unfortunate. Despite fond memories of his charm, his children were victimised by his disease. It’s too easy to remember only the good times; we do a disservice to the memory of this much-loved man if we do not also recall with clarity what killed him in the end.

Cary - Your Back Window is Blown Open
This podcast is about Cary who gave it all to the myth that she could control the disease. We learn that: Here was an ordinary, nice woman who was overcome by the disease that her husband contracted through no fault of her own. It became obvious that she was crying out for help, but she fervently denied the idea that there was anything wrong with her. Her co-dependency was so profound, she stopped taking care of herself, focusing all her energy on the illusion, the myth, that she could help her husband stop his drinking. The price that Cary paid essentially meant her life. Her body and soul succumbed to the stress imposed by the family disease of alcoholism and resultant co-dependency.

Roy - A Life of Quiet Desperation
In this podcast about the life of Roy, we learn how a subtle, slippery slope can lead to an unwelcome destiny. We learn that: What starts out as an innocent friendship can morph gradually into a using and drinking companionship. Roy had no clue as to what his life was becoming. The desire to smoke weed and drink alcohol overtook his ambition to finish his studies at UCLA. That seemed to be the real signal that his life was taking the wrong turn. While I went forward - for quite a while - he went backward, and our paths never converged again. The last time he was seen, Roy showed the dire effects of a life-long habit of abusing drugs and alcohol. He never did get it and paid the price. I did end up paying a price, but somehow the gods had a different destination in mind.

April - A Young Life Cut Short
In this podcast about April, we discuss how an extreme addiction to cocaine cut her life way too short. We learn that: Had I (Bruno J.) even known about the possibility of recovery, I believe April would not have bought it since she had not yet reached her bottom. Nor did it appear as though her family tried to intervene, although I cannot be sure, since she never talked about her habit or her family. Two dysfunctional people do not one whole person make. Our relationship was one of extreme co-dependency and addiction fuelled by unrequited sexual desire. April's short life was ever more tragic in that she was extremely intelligent, savvy, stylish, and personable. All the makings of a successful life cut so short by a powerful and deadly addiction.

Chuckie, the original Mad Man
In this podcast, Bruno J. recounts his early career as a Mad Man in the ad business, led by his boss Chuck. We learn that: Chuck had established what was already a successful routine that included alcohol by the time I met him. The ad culture back in the 70's was very male and focused on the intensity of work and of play, defined as drinking. A young, ambitious man would adopt whatever he saw would help him succeed in fitting in, since belonging is such a powerful motive early in a career. Although the good lessons I learned from Chuck carried me far in my career and accounted for some considerable success, the hard drinking lesson cost me dearly later on.

Frankie, Have You Seen Johnnie?
This podcast is a story about Frankie, his beautiful daughter Johnnie, and the power of desperation. We learn that: There is goodness within people that we don't often see because they are not "our kind". Frank loved his beautiful daughter but was not able to help her due to his own addiction. It took a village to save her. Johnnie must have figured out that she could no longer stay alive or sane if she kept up the life she was leading. Ultimately, it was the luck of the draw that a space was available at a local rehab, and it is to her credit she seized the opportunity to help herself and keep her child.

Angelo, Who Believes in Angels
This podcast is a story about Angelo, a dear friend of Bruno J.Angelo overcame almost unheard-of life challenges to get clean and sober and teach others the lessons of living a sober life. We learn that: It is possible to recover from addiction to drugs and alcohol regardless of one's life circumstances. We call the disease an equal opportunity predator and we call the 12-step program an equal opportunity saviour. Angelo's story usually stops people in their tracks. Here's basically an illiterate guy who ends up with a good job and helps others stay sober. That is a higher power at work. Angelo's belief in his form of a higher power is completely consistent with the idea of a "God of our understanding". Angelo "got it" right at the start, and you will notice, he never did have a relapse despite the many challenges he continues to face every day. His story, his charm, and his honesty continue to teach and uplift all who are privileged to know him.

Ricky - Have You Seen Keith Richards?
This podcast is about a good friend of Bruno J. who helped him in his early sobriety. We learn that: Some of the most important friendships happen in early sobriety when we most need them. There are the lucky ones who wake up and are still able to deploy their power of choice and say: "This is it". It is possible to have a whole lot of fun when you get sober, and you do not need any help from a mind-altering substance. We can undo what we have done - leave a dishonest relationship - after we sober up, even when it hurts to do so.

Lindsay Shoots the Sheriff
In this podcast about Lindsay, we tell the first of our stories of people who deal with addiction. We learn that: Some addicts never make it, and they end up in prison. The hard truth, but the real truth. Even though science says that addictive disorder is driven by genetics, Lindsay's environment accelerated her decline into hard drugs taken on a daily basis. Friends who want to save their friends do not let their unstable friends walk around with a loaded gun. Sadly, love has not a chance against a powerful disease. Had Lindsay been convinced to stay just a little bit longer in the treatment facility, her life and that of the man she murdered could have been saved.

A Stake into the Heart of The Vampire
In this podcast, we discuss the moral imperative of helping those who need us most, with truth and assertive compassion. We learn that we can: Think of an addictive disease as an invisible vampire that preys upon your loved one and saps their strength on a "nightly" basis. Create a powerful stake that is based on assertive love; love that does not take no for an answer and is calm and consistent. Hate the disease and still love the person. We can confront the one we love with the truth while showing compassion. Intervene on behalf of our loved one in the same compassionate way that the great teachers would have us do. Those of us who have more to give cannot abandon those who are in need. That, we should all believe, and is a law of the universe.

The Illusion of a Cure
In this podcast, we discuss the basic questions that people have about the topics of addiction and alcoholism. We learn that: There is no cure for alcoholism or drug addiction, and any claims to the contrary are misguided and/or attempts to seduce us into buying a bogus service or product. Untreated, addiction never gets better if left alone. It is well-known as a progressive disorder and has been proven so for over half a century. Addiction and alcoholism are diseases of the brain in their own right, not as symptoms or by-products of other disease states. They are chronic medical disorders as defined by the AMA and countless other entities who are experts in the field. Treatment for addiction and alcoholism has been proven to work for those who make the commitment to abstinence and address the mental and emotional distortions and immaturities that come with addiction. However, the recovering person must take full responsibility for his or her own recovery, as treatment is intended as a course-correction to get the individual back on the right path. The odds of complete, long-lasting recovery are very good, despite the reports of relapses along the way. We consider a relapse as a reminder of how powerful the disease really is. One of the most common sayings in the recovering community is: "Don't quit trying to quit" as very few of us got it on the first try.

It's Not About the Alcohol
In this podcast, we discuss why the recovery program begins after the alcoholic has put the drink down or the addict has stopped using. We learn that: Alcoholics who have not yet recovered do not understand that they only need to avoid one drink, and that is the first one, in order to stay sober. After they put down the alcohol, they realise that they no longer have a drinking problem, but they do have a thinking problem arising from the fact that their brain is immature and not yet capable of thinking clearly. The alcoholic or addict, even after he or she gets clean, remains an extremely self-centred individual, and it takes time and work for the user to fully acknowledge and make amends for the harm done to others. As such, the AA* or NA/CA* program is not about not drinking; rather it is all about the development of a spiritual life guided by honesty, kindness, and courage that equips the recovering person to live a new, inspired life. Those who love an addict or alcoholic and wish to recover from the family disease of alcoholism or addiction should consider joining Al-Anon, a 12-step program for families and friends of alcoholics and addicts. *AA = Alcoholics Anonymous NA = Narcotics Anonymous CA = Cocaine Anonymous www.aa.org www.na.org www.ca.org www.al-anon.org

Renounce Unnecessary Thinking
In this podcast, we discuss the value of present-moment awareness which helps us renounce unhealthy and unnecessary thinking. We learn that: We who have lived or currently live in an addictive relationship with an addict or alcoholic are experiencing PTSD and need more healing than we perhaps realise. It is possible to escape the trap of obsessive thought about our trying situation with a conscious attempt at becoming fully present. One of the most powerful tools in the arsenal of recovery is that of meditation - present-moment awareness - which can be practiced alone or with others. If we join others in the same life situation as ours, we shall find joy in a fellowship such as Al-Anon which will teach us how to become fully present and be able to once again live life one moment at a time.

Joy Amid The Sorrow
In this podcast, we discuss how authentic joy has been destroyed by addiction in the home, and what the person who cares for an addict or alcoholic can do to recover their sanity and discover the joy that comes with it. We learn that: Living with an alcoholic or addict will suck all the oxygen and joy out of your life no matter how hard you try to get it back. You discover at some point, perhaps by the suggestion of a friend or professional counsellor, that you are as powerless over the disease of addiction or alcoholism as is your loved one. That's where you learn - I hope in an Al-Anon meeting - that you are not alone, that there are thousands of people, mostly women, facing the very same challenges as are you. You will learn to change your thinking and attitude and see your loved one as a sick person just as deserving of love as you are. You will learn the art of a loving detachment from his disease. You will finally find the joy you deserve, even amid sorrow.

Act Even When You Don't Feel Like It
In this podcast, we discuss the barriers to taking the right action. We learn that: Being ready and feeling ready are two very different things. We will never be ready if we wait until we feel ready. All our lives, we have taken the right action whether we felt ready or not. We knew what we needed to do and went ahead and did it, because we made a small leap of faith. Somehow, deep in our hearts, we want to make a big change. We want to break the chains of our old way of thinking conditioned by years of living with an alcoholic/addict that has brought us desperation and poverty of spirit. We pray for a leap of faith that, ironically, is inspired by the desperation we have lived with for so many years. And now it is time to gain the freedom we deserve. We take the action we were afraid to take, for now, we have acquired just enough faith to reach out for help, knowing that it will come in the form of loving people who genuinely want to help another person suffering from this disease.

What Are You So Ashamed Of?
In this podcast, largely drawn from the work that a not-for-profit enterprise called Shatterproof has done. We discuss the stigma of addiction. We learn that: The level of prejudice against those with a SUD (substance use disorder) is astonishingly high. Only one-quarter of adults believe that a SUD is a chronic disease. The stigma associated with a SUD is the cause of thousands of preventable deaths every year, as shame is holding back even those who want help. The main effect of stigma is the social isolation that keeps even those recovering from a SUD from fully participating in society. Even medical professionals are not immune to stigma and myths associated with SUD, such as the use of medications to treat opioid use disorder. You can only do so much on your own. Get in touch with Shatterproof.org and learn what you can do in your own hometown to help enlighten our society.

A Paradox: In Discipline There is Freedom
In this podcast, we discuss one of the surprising paradoxes that exist within 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. We learn that: We simply do not think that discipline could mean freedom. We thought of discipline as a form of punishment. Alcoholics and addicts of our type are fundamentally enslaved by our desires and cravings to get drunk and high as our only priority. Freedom to us was defined as doing whatever made us feel good. To become truly free of the obsessions that ruled our lives, we have to work for it by applying a rigorous, consistent, and compassionate discipline one day at a time. As taught by the principles of our 12-step program. Praying for the people we resent is perhaps the most surprising paradox the program has to offer, but it is guaranteed to change one's heart for the better, and free one's soul.
10 minutes | Jan 14, 2022
Does This Make Sense to You?
In this podcast, we discuss the many myths and lies that alcoholics and addicts hold onto in order to justify their drinking and drug abuse. We learn that: There are countless myths that active alcoholics and addicts believe in to make the world seem normal to them. Even when their reality is a dirty mess. These myths all support the idea that alcohol and drugs are the solution, not the problem. The problem is always something other than the substance. Only those who have known a low-bottom existence as active abusers can understand the feeling of zero self-respect and how hard it is to appear normal. A spiritual experience offers the hope of a transformation that recovering people claim has saved their sanity and their very lives.

Why I Don't Hate This Disease Any More
In this podcast, we discuss that although you did not ask for the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, you had a genetic preposition towards it. Also, as your recovery progresses, why you will learn to not hate the disease anymore.We learn that: It really does not matter how you get into recovery, so long as you get started. Families can be misled if they seek advice about addiction or alcoholism from one who is not trained in the disorder. Desperation is a gift if you look at it the right way, and that is: it becomes a supreme motivator never to go back there ever again. The beauty of AA and other twelve-step programs is that they do not preach to you. They deploy the time-honoured approach of storytelling to gently guide you into a better, saner life.

Orange overcome slow start, run away from High Point
Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:02:35 GMT —
Despite a slow start on the defensive end, Syracuse turned up the pressure in the second half outscoring High Point by an 18 point margin and winning their 11th straight victory 75-54.
"You have to play defense," said head coach Jim Boeheim. "They made some difficult threes but that happens sometimes."
High Point shot six for 12 from beyond the arc in the first half and 50-percent from the field. The Panthers hit just two of their eight three-point attempts in the second and their field goal shooting dropped to 35-percent.
C.J Fair, Trevor Cooney, Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant each scored in double digits. Cooney brought the modest Christmas break crowd to their feet sinking five of his six attempts from three-point range. It was his sixth game of the season scoring five or more 3-pointers.
Grant left the game in the second half with a sprained left ankle after turning his ankle on a High Point player's foot. Grant is expected to return for Syracuse's next match up with No. 8-ranked Villanova on the 28th.

I owned one of those 190E's w/2.3 ltr. engines, and was ever so glad to get
rid of it.
Try and get a 190E with the 2.6 engine at least, or buy a 300E.
Remember, you get what you pay for.....
Well I for one strongly disagree. I bought one in the fall and its performing
very well. No complaints at all. It's a '93 2.3 basic model. heat works
just fine and the AC -converted to R134- seems to work just fine too ...
until some woman backed into me a couple of weeks ago with her 4WD gigantic
Ford Truck ....why do they drive these Farm vehicles in the city? I believe
the real question you need to ask yourself is : who drove it before. You
do need records to verify maintenance. So if it's an auction car.... you
are on your own. re the car itself if properly maintained, I couldn't be
happier and I plan to give it to my 20 year old daughter to drive since I
think it is that foolproof. Now, if I could only figure out why people steal
the star emblem front and back ..... bastards!
- regards, guenter
Any car, even a McLaren SLR, can be a headache if it wasn't maintained, so
it's not so much the W201's design (not saying there aren't faults) as it is
the care and attention that the car got during it's previous years.
Considering the current prices, the W201 can be quite a bargin if carefully
inspected before purchase. Try parking most other Mercedes in a "compact
car" parking space, the 190E fits with room to spare!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Of My Spiral To The Bottom.Divorce is costly, it hurts people, kills finances, and kills relationships. I know this, but my soon to be Ex does not, she has never seen one up close.
So as I start to spiral down, shutting down, wanting to quit life (not kill myself), I started to read the Bible, many other books, and pray all the time. Then I started to seek wisdom from very wise men I have carefully selected.
I have always heard that recovering alcoholics, others would talk about taking it day by day, or hour by hour. I have never understood that until now. I am a daddy, I own my own business (which means no time off), and there are many people who depend on my to keep my wits together. So I just gave it up to God, and said this situation is all in your hands. I live hour by hour, and do not think too far ahead. It keeps me from being overwhelmed, and keeps me from losing my mind.
Right after I handed everything over to God, I started sleeping BETTER than a baby. I still have my rough times and bad days at times, but I am able to handle what is coming at me piece by piece.
