POSITRACTION: Gordon Ramsay stands "tall"

Gordon Ramsay Offers Apprenticeship to Teen Who Was Snubbed for His Height
By McKinley Corbley - Aug 29, 2018

*** begin quote ***

When this 18-year-old was told that he couldn’t pursue his dream career based on his height, Gordan Ramsay stepped in to help.

Louis Makepeace has wanted to be a chef since he was a kid. When he was conditionally accepted into a cooking and hospitality course at Worcester College, however, he was later “appalled” to find out that the school had backtracked on their decision and would not allow him to take the course because his height made him a “safety risk” in the kitchen.

Since Makepeace has dwarfism, he stands at just 3 feet 10 inches tall. After the teen accused the school of discrimination, his story was spread across social media until it caught the eye of celebrity chef Gordan Ramsay.

Ramsay tweeted that he would be more than happy to offer Makepeace an apprenticeship “any day”.

*** end quote ***

Gordon Ramsay can be an ass with a mouth that would make a sailor blush.  However in this case, he certainly showed his “true colors”.  All too often, “celebrities” are all image and no substance.  This puts him a notch above.  Kudos, Chef Ramsay.

Obituary: William "Will" Rowe, 1947-2018
VERO BEACH, FLORIDA

William “Will” Rowe was born November 26, 1947, in Yonkers, N.Y., the fifth child of Harry and Agnes Rowe, and passed away on August 31, 2018. He is survived by his brother David Rowe and sisters, Frances Rowe and Susan Rowe, and Susan's husband, Ib. His brother Donald Rowe passed away in January of 2017. Words cannot convey the love and support Will expressed and received from his brothers and sisters during his life and especially his final years.

Will married his first wife, Lori Kohn, from Yonkers, in 1969 and, shortly after, the two of them studied and worked in Germany for five years. After moving to Vermont, their daughter, Alyssa, was born and has been the greatest joy in Will’s life since.

Will married Theresa Crete Jones, in 1990, who has been the love, life and soul partner of his life since. They spent the last 28 years building a life together in Vermont, Maryland and Florida. He had no words to express the love and care he felt for the person who has given him so much … his loving wife, Theresa.

Will is survived by his wife, Theresa, and his daughter, Alyssa Chase, her husband, Jamie Chase, and their two children, Hailey and James. He also loved his role as step-dad to Theresa’s children, Carol Cowan and Christopher Jones, and Christopher's wife, Tanya Jones, and as grandpa to their children, Molly Cowan, Brady Jones and Hannah Jones. Being “Grandpa Will” has been a great joy for Will, and he could not wish enough love and lifelong peace of mind to Hailey, James, Molly, Brady and Hannah.

Will attended Yonkers Public Schools and is a proud member of the Gorton High School Class of ’65. He received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Manhattan College and continued graduate studies at Duke University and the Free University of Berlin. Will pursued his two career passions, the study and teaching of philosophy and the compassionate work of social caring. He taught philosophy at a number of institutions, including the Community College of Vermont, the University of Maryland, Trinity College and Indian River State College. He never stopped being awed by opening minds to new ways of seeing, thinking and being.

Will was forever grateful for the privilege of working shoulder to shoulder with such wonderful people at Spectrum Youth & Family Services, where he served for over 13 years as executive director, and the long-lasting relationships developed during that time. He always said that there was “an express ticket to heaven” for any person working in the child protection field. His passion for caring was also fulfilled through his 14 years in numerous social service positions with the State of Vermont and eight years leading a national health advocacy organization dedicated to helping people living in chronic pain. Will touched thousands of lives in his personal and professional career and regularly expressed his gratitude for the privilege to be helpful to others. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

A memorial celebration for family and friends will be planned in Vermont at a later date. To honor Will’s life, memorial contributions may be made to Spectrum Youth & Family Services at 31 Elmwood Ave, Burlington, VT, 05401, or to the Lund Family Center at 76 Glen Rd, Burlington, VT, 05401.

ENDNOTE: “Who am I to judge?” The successor to Peter with power!

2018-Sep-08

http://www.unz.com/pbuchanan/a-cancer-on-the-papacy/


A Cancer on the Papacy?
PAT BUCHANAN • AUGUST 31, 2018

*** begin quote ***

This summer, the sex scandal that has bedeviled the Catholic Church went critical.

First came the stunning revelation that Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, former Archbishop of Washington and friend to presidents, had for decades been a predator-priest who preyed on seminarians and abused altar boys, and whose depravity was widely known and covered up.

Came then the report of a Pennsylvania grand jury that investigated six dioceses and found that some 300 priests had abused 1,000 children over the last 70 years.

*** and ***

If the Church’s highest priority is to coexist peacefully with the world, it will modify, soften, cease to preach, or repudiate these beliefs, and follow the primrose path of so many of our separated Protestant brethren.

But if she does, it will not be the same Church that over centuries accepted martyrdom to remain the faithful custodian of Gospel truths and sacred tradition.

And how has the embrace of modernity and its values advanced the religious faiths whose leaders sought most earnestly to accommodate them?

The Church is going through perhaps its gravest crisis since the Reformation. Since Vatican II, the faithful have been departing, some leaving quietly, others embracing agnosticism or other faiths.

“Who am I to judge?” said the pope when first pressed about the morality of homosexuality.

Undeniably, Francis, and the progressive bishops who urge a new tolerance, a new understanding, a new appreciation of the benign character of homosexuality, have won the plaudits of a secular press that loathed the Church of Pius XII.

Of what value all those wonderful press clippings now, as the chickens come home to roost in Vatican City?

*** end quote ***

I’d venture an opinion that it’s too late.  The organizational “Church” is destroyed and has lost its way and any moral authority it had.

Perhaps, the laity can reform as a grass roots movement with no “hierarchy”?  After all wasn’t that how it started?
