I am a fully qualified yoga teacher offering classes in and around the Malvern area. I’m a Yoga Alliance registered teacher and trained with Vidya Jacqueline Heisel of Frog Lotus Yoga.
My style of yoga is a gentle Vinyasa Flow to develop strength and flexibility in the body. My classes are deeply relaxing and contain a variety of poses making classes accessible to everyone.
The word vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement.” This style of yoga focuses on linking the breath with movement and is often referred to as a moving meditation. The poses flow from one to another in conjunction with the breath.
My yoga experience started about 12 years ago. I was in my early twenties and quite overweight. I know it sounds ridiculous, but yoga did save my life. I loved it from my very first Ashtanga class with Anton Simmha at Ledbury Rugby Club. I have known for a long time that I want to share the benefits of yoga with the world. Yoga has changed my life and it can change yours too!
I want to promote that yoga is not just for hippies. You don’t have to burn incense and wear tie-dyed clothing to come to yoga. I still work a full-time job as well as teaching yoga. I know what it’s like to climb the corporate ladder. I know what it’s like to sit behind a desk all day. I am not some airy-fairy type! Yoga is for everyone. I’m a young, dynamic teacher who lives in the real world. Come and give my classes a try, you might be surprised.
Are you planning on holding yoga classes any other evenings each week apart from Wednesdays? I’m desperate to start yoga again (I used to do hot bikram) but can’t do Wednesdays!
I am planning on finding a venue to hold a class on a Monday evening. Watch this space! If you would like, I can put you on my email list? Every week I send out a list of classes for that week, along with some helpful tip or other about an aspect of yoga.
Thanks for your reply. That would be great if you could add me to your email list, thank you!
Have you considered the new Malvern Vale Community Centre for holding classes? It is on the new Persimmon estate (where I live) and I know that there are lots of people who live on the estate that would like a yoga class there (there is a Facebook page for Malvern vale community if you wanted to enquire about how much interest there would be).
Thanks so much for the tip! I’ve called them, but no answer so I sent an email. I’ll call again tomorrow to see if I can raise anyone. Keep your fingers crossed!
Good article in the Malvern Gazette!
Hi Andrew. I’ve updated my Classes page – current venues and teaching times have not changed, but I’ve added a link to the men-only class I teach at The Clover Mill on Mondays.

In the past, to tell President Bush -- or at least those assigned to read his mail -- what was on your mind, it was only necessary to sit down at a personal computer connected to the Internet and dash off an e-mail note to president@whitehouse.gov.
But this week, Tom Matzzie, an online organizer with the AFL-CIO, discovered that communicating with the White House has become a bit more daunting. When he sent an e-mail protest against a Bush administration policy, the message was bounced back with an automated reply, saying that he had to send it again in a new way.
Under a system deployed on the White House Web site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to Bush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House policy or differs with it.
The White House says the new system, located on the Web at http: //whitehouse.gov/webmail, is an effort to be more responsive to the public and offer the administration "real-time" access to citizen comments.
To complete a message to the president also requires choosing a subject from the provided list, then entering a full name, organization, address and e- mail address. Once the message is sent, the writer must wait for an automated response to the e-mail address listed, asking whether the addressee intended to send the message. The message is delivered to the White House only after the person using that e-mail address confirms it.
Jimmy Orr, a White House spokesman, described the system as an "enhancement" aimed at improving communications. He called it a "work in progress," and advised members of the public who had sensitive or personal matters to bring up with the president to use traditional methods of communications, like a letter on paper, a fax or a phone call.
He said that the White House, which gets about 15,000 electronic messages each day, had designed the new system during the past nine months in partnership with a private firm that he would not identify.
"It provides an additional means for individuals to inquire about policy issues at the White House and get a personalized response in 24 to 48 hours," said Orr, the White House Internet news director.
It is still possible to send a traditional e-mail message, he said, but the sender will receive the automated reply, and there is no guarantee it will be read or responded to.
"Overall, it's a very cumbersome process," said Jakob Nielsen, an authority on Web design who helps run a consulting group, Nielsen Norman Group, in Fremont. "It's probably designed deliberately to cut down on their e-mail."
The White House said it was taking its Web usability critics in stride. "When it comes to a Web site, it's a bit like a movie," Orr said. "Some will say it's a tour de force, some will say it fell flat."
Acknowledging there had been some glitches in the first few days, Orr said the new system was being improved. "Having tried it myself," he said, "I would say it's pretty user-friendly."
Matzzie discovered the new White House e-mail system when he launched a campaign to protest the Bush administration's proposals changing the way overtime pay is to be calculated.
He said he particularly disliked being forced to specify whether he was offering a "supporting comment" or a "differing opinion" to Bush. "Can't I just say something or ask a question?" he said.
Matzzie was also upset that none of the many categories listed included either unemployment or jobs.
"This is the most ridiculous Web form for contacting someone I have ever seen," said Matzzie, who is a professional Web site designer.
Matzzie sent his e-mail message on Tuesday. He said he was still waiting for a response.
Until recently, anyone wanting to send an e-mail message to the president only had to write it, address it - "president@whitehouse.gov" - and hit send. No longer. Now e-mail must be sent through the White House's official Web site.
The form is not easy to find and requires users to navigate several Web pages and fill out a form with personal information. Here is a step-by-step guide.
1 Go to www.whitehouse.gov, find the "Contact" button (it is one of the small ones at the top of the page, next to the one saying "Espa\226ol"). Click it.
2 New page. It mentions how to write to the White House, how to extend an invitation to the president or the vice president or their wives, how to send them gifts (nothing perishable, please) how to call the White House. Click to scroll down to "White House Web Mail" and click on it.
3 New page. It explains how the White House handles e-mail. Click "continue. "
4 New page. Select type \011of message to send, either "write a supporting comment" or "write a differing opinion." Select a topic like "social, legalization of marijuana" or "foreign policy, Iraq." Click continue.
5 New page. Fill in name, title, organization, address and e-mail address, all of which are required. Click continue.
6 The e-mail form. Subject line cannot be changed, but you can write what you want. Click continue.
7 New page. A chance to review the message before it is sent. Click continue.
8 New page. Confirmation that the letter was sent. Want to send another one? Click continue.
9 An e-mail message is sent to the writer. Reply within 72 hours or the earlier message is deleted. Click reply and relax.

Hi there, fellow reader, and welcome to my blog! Not too much to say about myself. I’m honestly just some broke university student slaving away for a piece of paper. I like writing (*sarcasm* no, really?), watching anime until my eyes bleed, eating trash food while watching trash TV, and my dog. This blog will mostly just be for sharing my thoughts, anecdotes, and travel adventures. So if that’s what you’re into for some bizarre reason, click that Follow button. Or not, that’s cool too. Thanks for stopping by!

Wrong Man in Prison … Karma or System Gone Wrong?
An article in the Los Angeles Times dated November 8, 2013 stated that a 53-year-old man, falsely accused of shooting a man to death 34 years ago was declared innocent and set free. It was not a case of wrong time, wrong place because he was not even there! He was with his girlfriend at home. How about one man’s destiny decided by a false witness and authorities who allegedly suppressed information.
He was only 19 then. 34 years in prison! What does it do to a helpless, innocent soul? He paid for his unwavering non-admittance of guilt and belief in his innocence . “It appears that the only reason that I have been consistently denied parole is because I have maintained my innocence” he once told the board, court papers said.
Ultimately, he left the prison with his integrity intact, his reinforced belief both in himself and a Higher Power which unleashed the forces of Truth in the ethers and like a domino effect they finally reached him, knocking down the walls which had imprisoned him.
The sister of the witness was looking up a website of convicted felons and typed in his name and found that he was still in prison. She tracked down the detective who was on his case and shared with him that her sister’s accusation was a lie, something that they had tried to bring out but was suppressed. The case was reopened, the facts were aired and he was acquitted.
It is scary to think that you could be possibly mistaken for a criminal, thrown and forgotten in prison with no hope at the young age of 19. Was it coincidence, luck, miracle, faith rewarded, a mother’s prayers answered? What led the sister after all these years, to find a website for convicted felons, find the detective, straighten the record and set him free? Hand of the Divine?
Karma with one sister who had him falsely imprisoned and Karma also with the other sister who freed him.
I have wondered about the same thing many a times. It is hard to explain any fairness in this game called life, though often I have seen that the events are connected in some invisible way that may extend even beyond our lifetime. Or at least that is my faith.
Yes, well put. It is either brickbats or roses and duck and hide for the former, accept graciously with a smile for the latter! Not easy to hide either so I develop a thick hide. Seriously, I love the philosophy of Karma. It makes sense to me and I grew up with this however, at that time I just accepted as an eye for an eye kind of phenomenon. Life has pounded, shaped and molded me and I have also gleaned that this Karma thing is not only meant to reward or punish but to give an opportunity to redeem the situation, reduce the debits and augment the credits. I hope to leave with my balance in the black!

A highly customizable pickle that you can tailor to your favorite pickle flavors.
Prepare your pint jars (I prefer wide mouth for making pickles, they pack more easily), lids, rings and canner. If you do not know how to do these things, always use a reliable and official source to guide you through this process. The National Center for Home Food Preservation and the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving are good places to start.
Bring a pot of water to boil. While it is coming up to temperature trim your asparagus to length. I measure one by lying it alongside a jar and cut it, then cut the rest. Save your trimmings in the freezer for your next batch of stock.
Prepare a bowl of ice water large enough to hold the asparagus. Add the asparagus to your smaller pot of boiling water (not the canner) and blanch for 1 -2 minutes. If your asparagus is very thin, less time, very thick (which is what I used in the pictures above) longer time. As soon as time is up remove the asparagus from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and dunk it in the ice bath. Remove it from the ice bath after a minute and set aside.
Dump out the hot asparagus blanching water and then in the same pot add the vinegar, water and salt. Bring to a full boil. While this is coming up to temperature measure out the pickling salt, one clove of garlic slices, and one chili pepper into the bottom of each jar.
Fill the jar with the asparagus spears, packing snugly. If you need to trim the end off a spear or two to maintain your 1/2 inch headspace, be sure to do so.
Pour the hot bring over the spears leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove all bubbles from the jar by carefully sliding a thin spatula or chopstick or skewer along the sides of the jar. Adjust the headspace by adding more brine as needed.
Clean the rim of the jar very thoroughly, apply your hot lid, and then the ring. You want to tighten your ring just until it is "finger tip tight", not too tight, but not loose either.
Process your jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes (10 minutes is measured after the water returns to a full boil). Adjust your processing time as necessary depending on your elevation. Again, consult a very reliable source for instructions on how to do this.
Remove your jars from the water bath to a cloth covered counter. Let them cool completely for 12-24 hours before testing the seals. Remove the outer ring and pick up the jar carefully by the lid to make sure the seal is a good one. If you do have a jar that did not seal, just put it in the refrigerator and eat the pickled asparagus, they will keep for a couple of months.
Store your jars in a cool dark place. These should be ready to eat in about 3 weeks.

I am shocked to note that you are providing a platform to the Hate-Islam group, “Middle East Forum” (MEF) in order to “Balance” a simple forum on what it means to be a Muslim in America. This is not unlike inviting members of a local Nazi Party in order to “balance” a talk on Jews and Judaism or, inviting someone from the KKK to “balance” a talk on Blacks in America on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
MEF director, Daniel Pipes has said again and again, that no Muslim can be trusted and that the only “moderate” Muslim is one who walks away from Islam.
Steven Emerson is another “expert” who seldom misses an opportunity to attack Muslims and Islam; one of his most notorious attacks came immediately after the bombing on the Alfred Murrah Building in Oklahoma City when he proclaimed that the perpetrators of the bombing had to be Muslims because Oklahoma City was home to “five Mosques”.
Both these men were involved and featured in the production of the hate-mongering video, “Obsession” that distorted facts about Islam and Muslims, beyond recognition, referred to Islam as being equivalent to Nazism and the Quran as being like Hitler’s “Mein Kampf“. This video was sent out to over 48 MILLION America addresses including (with magazine subscriptions) to institutions of higher learning like yours, with the goal of turning Americans against Islam and Muslims. You should take a few minutes to read a review and analysis of “Obsession” by Jews on First…it is NOT a Muslim organization.
Why should Americans not have been a worry two years ago? Anyone even moderately familiar with Islamist ideology knows that it allows for absolutely no national allegiance. The notion that some American Muslims could become radicalized should have been a concern since 9/11-nearly a decade ago, not two years ago.
More significantly, the fact that Americans are being radicalized not only bodes ill for U.S. security; it also suggests that American efforts in the Muslim world are doomed to failure. Consider: if American Muslims, who enjoy Western benefits-including democracy, liberty, prosperity, and freedom of expression-are still being radicalized, why then do we insist that importing these same benefits to the Muslim world will eliminate its even more ingrained form of “radicalization”?
They cleverly select acts of violence by Muslims, ignoring the other acts of violence by non-Muslims in order to skew the perspective into “proving” that Muslims are violent, untrustworthy and “un-American”.
These tactics are not unlike the tactics of the pre-Civil Rights era, when reportage on violence committed by Blacks was listed as “Black crime” while violence committed by non-Blacks was glossed over.
Dr. Breyer, I am sure you must have received hundreds of organized phone calls asking you to cancel the CAIR presentation and I am sure you were pressed into considering Raymond Ibrahim in order to “balance the views”, but I must ask you; how does one “balance” a talk of being Muslim in America? by bringing people who will misinform their audience into believing that having Muslims in America is like having a time-bomb?
Would you ever countenance “balancing” a presentation on Blacks in America, by having a KKK member tell your students that Blacks in America are all potential drug gangs, rapists and murderers?
Would you agree to a “balance” on a presentation about Jews in America, by having a member of the Nazi Party inform your students of the evil nature of Jews?
Would you present these organizations as “having a different viewpoint” as you are doing against Muslims?
It appears that you have accepted the arguments against CAIR that these hate-mongers have given you in spite of the fact that CAIR is the ONLY effective Muslim civil rights organization in the US; would you so easily be persuaded that the NAACP is a questionable organization?
Dr. Breyer, bigotry is a poison that should not be afforded protection of “Freedom of Speech” as underwritten by people of good faith or by public institutions…the “Freedom of hate Speech” may be exercised at the expense of the speaker, at will, but not by invitation.
We understand that you are now rooted to your position of having the hate-mongers come as well, but you should realize that you are as complicit in their hate-mongering by your acquiescence, as they are in their message. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends“.
Mr. Raymond Ibrahim, There is absolutely no doubt that Coptic Christians are very badly treated by the Egyptian government and therefore, also by many Egyptians. This can be easily stopped if the United States makes enough public noise about it…after all WE do pay for Egypt’s survival with billions of dollars. A good question to ask this and other Administrations and Congress, is why they cannot be bothered to raise a fuss on behalf of the Copts of Egypt? Perhaps because there is not enough pressure from the American people and perhaps because some of those who ARE bothered, are too busy ascribing blame to Muslims, to actually do something constructive about the plight of the Copts.
You quote a lot of verses from the Quran and that may work very well for you when those verses are presented to a public who neither knows better nor cares to learn more. The FACT, as you should know (since you say you know Arabic and have studied the Quran), is that you have taken the quotes way out of context and changed their meanings by doing so. In some cases you have presented them with false meanings that have nothing to do with what was said in the Quran.
We do not need to be enemies, we can work together to right injustices here and abroad. Muslims are not your enemies, evil people who exist in all faiths, are the enemy.
It is time to stop the promotion of hate and misunderstandings and to work together in the path of what the God of Abraham, of Jesus and of Mohammed, keeps telling us to follow.
I am all for “Free Speech”, go ahead, get a soap box, stand on it at a corner of the greens at Everett Comunity College and I will support your right to say what you like ther. However, when you start to get taxpayer money to speak at a tax-payer site AND what you are saying is all false against Islam and Muslims, then I have all ther right to say that your “Free” speech should not be promoted by us, the tyaxpayers.
You gave misleading “quotes” from the Quran and you atributed false information about Islam, presenting it as if it was accurate…you allowed yourself an out by saying your statements were quotes…but you presented them to suport your own negative views of Islam.
You may speak Arabic and oyu may know about Islam, but you have yet to present facts about Islam in anything I have come across, even your book, the Al-Qaeda Reader is a poorly presented work that appears to be used as a front for your own anti-Muslim biases, more than it is a scholarly translation.

Cherri Bomb are an all girl rock band for America and are starting to make a name for themselves all over the world.
These teenagers have recently toured with LostProphets and have in the past been the opening act at Foo Fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins and Staind gigs so their reputation is clearly growing and they have been praised quite a lot by none other than Foo Fighters Dave Grohl. To be praised by Grohl shows they have a lot of talent and their cover of ‘The Pretender’ is one of the best I have heard and some may even argue they prefer it to the original, although I can’t imagine many will say this out loud. They have a good team around them who have helped keep them going and made sure they do what they want rather than what is required to make a mark on the charts. They are managed by Samantha Maloney who has been a part of bands such as Hole, Motley Crue and Eagles of Death Metal so she knows what it takes to be successful.
The band who are aged surprisingly between 14 and 16 have already performed at some of the best festivals around Europe including T in the Park, Oxegen, Sonisphere and Reading and Leeds. This success has all come from their debut album, ‘This is the End of Control’ which was released on May 15th 2012. It is a very impressive debut that has a lot of energy about it and you can feel their enthusiasm for what they are doing which makes you enjoy it even more. This is definitely not something you expect from girls their age as they are full of attitude and have very good hooks throughout most songs. This album will certainly bring smiles to a lot of people and they have produced some very catchy tunes. One of the best songs on the album is ‘Better This Way’ and this is because of the catchy sing a long chorus, guitar riffs and the pounding drum beat. It completely sets the pace for the whole album which is 12 songs long but only lasts around 38 minutes.
You can tell they have been greatly influenced by the Foo Fighters in particular the songs, ‘Drawing A Blank’ and ‘Paper Doll’, The intro to ‘Drawing a Blank’ wouldn’t look out of place on a Foo song and it is from the guitars that just give this album its extra edge. Possibly their greatest achievement so far is getting the song, ‘Shake The Ground’ onto the soundtrack of one of the biggest movies ever. The movie in question is ‘The Avengers’. The standout track for me though is ‘Raw. Real’ and it is because it has a very simple yet effective feel to it and is one of the reasons they have been attracting the right sort of attention over the last few months.
This is certainly not the last we have heard of Cherri Bomb and I hope they get some mainstream attention because they deserve it and will only get better and better because they are so young.

Jon Stewart resumed Fox News hypocrisy watch on Thursday night's "Daily Show," calling out Megyn Kelly and the network for condemning Hillary Clinton for her alleged favors for foreign donors while turning a blind eye to the influence of billionaires in the Republican presidential campaign.
The "Daily Show" host noted that while Clinton catches shade from conservative anchors for attempting to wrangle $2.5 billion dollars for her 2016 campaign, the GOP is getting showered with money from billionaires Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers behind closed doors.
In one clip, Kelly slams dems for attempting to regulate campaign spending and claims that in doing so, they are "limiting the First Amendment." "They think money corrupts in politics, and they're looking to stop that ... 'corruption,'" Kelly says.
“No, I think they’re looking to stop the corruption, not the ‘corruption,'” Stewart fires back, forming sarcastic air quotes around the word corruption.
With Fox News' arguments in mind, Stewart concludes: "I guess the rule here is that money is free speech, unless that money speaks with a funny accent."

Rosary services will be held on Monday, April 22nd, 2019 at 7:00 pm in the Krestridge Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in the City of Levelland Cemetery.

Hockley County Attorney Anna Hord has announced that all parties have agreed to abate or suspend the case to remove Constable for Precinct 5, Michael Lance Scott from office. The case is being abated pending resolution of all criminal cases, including three misdemeanor charges and two felony charges.
Upon resolution of the criminal cases, the plaintiff in the case will be required to file a motion to dismiss or a motion to continue the case.
Scott was indicted for stalking and abuse of official capacity in March. He was arrested for public intoxication and assault family violence in January and driving while intoxicated in November.
The City of Shallowater and University Medical Center have been in negotiations for 10 months on EMS Services. Shallowater currently pays for the services, and has asked UMC to take over paying for those services in full.
UMC has made two counter offers to the City of Shallowater, one of those involves the city paying UMC $120,000 for UMC to fully operate the service. Shallowater administration says that is close to what they are currently paying for staffing the service. The second proposal was to pay UMC $30,000 per year and they would in turn station a truck in Shallowater when a truck is available. The city of Shallowater says that option is not good for the residents. EMS Director Gary Vaughn says the Shallowater City Council has pushed UMC to cover service costs in full, adding that in 1975 when the Lubbock County Hospital District EMS was created, they were responsible to provide EMS Service to all cities in Lubbock County, that all began to change when UMC established their name in the early 2000’s.
UMC has provided Shallowater’s emergency medical services with an ambulance, medical supplies, medication and medical gasses. Shallowater’s responsibility was to cover the costs associated with staffing the ambulance with qualified staff. Starting in 2002, UMC began providing stipend payments to Shallowater to assist with the costs associated with staffing the ambulances.
The Hockley County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the help of the public in solving a burglary case from the early morning hours of Monday, April 15th.
Officers responded to a report of a burglary in the 3300 block of Highway 385. The burglary occurred at approximately 2:20 am on Monday. Reports indicate that a subject entered a building on the property and stole some items. A surveillance image released by the Sheriff’s office clearly shows an apparent white male on the far right side of the image. It was also reported that he left the scene in a dark green ford pickup with a light bar on top of it.
If you have any information contact the Sheriff’s Office Investigators at 894-3126. It is believed the individual is responsible for two burglaries in the area.
Funeral services are scheduled for Mona Lisa Merritt, 67 of Levelland. Services are scheduled for Wednesday, April 17th at 10:00 am in the Austin Street Church of Christ in Levelland.

Reminisce and cringe with me. Don’t worry. I couldn’t watch the whole thing either. To think my friends and I used to know every word to this.
I think I have too many shoes. In fact, I know I have too many shoes. More importantly, I have a lot of worn out shoes.
That’s 32 pairs of shoes people. Thirty-two. Of course as anyone starting a capsule wardrobe knows, I don’t wear half of these shoes. Just looking at the picture I can point out two pairs that don’t fit. I can’t wear all those pretty wedges at the bottom because I have loose ligaments in my ankles, and who on Earth needs to own 6 pairs of flip flops? Me I guess.
As I try to set up a capsule wardrobe for summer, shoes keep holding me back. Looking through other people’s capsules don’t seem to help me much either. Un-fancy author Caroline typically uses 9 pairs of shoes in her capsules, and if you look in her most recent capsule, you’ll see she’s chosen 10 pairs. On Project333’s website there doesn’t seem to be a set amount of shoes to choose each month. It’s really up to the person.
I’m at this point where I really think 9 or 10 pairs is excessive. I’ve put together a sort of capsule using polyvore and I’ve loved mixing and matching pieces. I’ve only put four pairs of shoes in that capsule. I honestly think I could be happy with this.
Trying to come up with my own rules or guidelines for a capsule wardrobe is hard. Especially seeing as this is my first time attempting to do anything like this. One thing I’ve definitely decided, is just as how you don’t include workout clothes in your capsule, I’m not going to include my sneakers in my capsule.
Somethings are easy to eliminate for summer. My boots for example. Others are harder. Will I use those funky pink chevron flats in summer? Should I pick out two pairs of flip flops for going to the beach and wearing around? Summer is all about the flip flops and sandals for me. Trying to come up with a good solution is hard.
How about you guys? What do you do for shoes in the summer. How many pairs do you include in your capsule?

even noticed Flessers in their tiny little town. In fact you can just end up passing right through the little country town, but if you hang around a little, you’ll find gems like I did when Sandi took Dan and I along with the kids there. It was a long drive, almost two hours if I count right and I was tired. Well actually Sandi said they were the best she’d ever tasted and they even drove occasionally to get some although it was a really long drive from where they were.
We got out of the car and instantly walked into the bakery. It was a typical small country bakery and Sandi marched towards its best seller and ordered away. We ordered three and when Dan tasted it, he ordered five.
It was a pity I did not take photos of the shop, I was tired and forgot, and just wanted to get something to eat and drink.
What is a Vanilla Slice? Vanilla Slice is similar to a French Mille Feuille, but in Australia and in the United Kingdom, it does not have as many layers and different fillings. In Australia, a Vanilla Slice is two layers of Puff Pastry sandwiched with a creamy custard, and dusted with icing or sometimes with a Glace Icing and combed with melted chocolate. Sounds quite boring but not Flesser’s.
I am so so with Vanilla slice, Flesser’s was really out of this world. It had the most tastiest Crème Patissiere and not yucky gooey custard and it was not topped with a normal glace. It was also not sickeningly sweet. I felt Flesser’s topped their Vanilla Slice with a thin layer of fondant and , then drizzled chocolate all over it. Simple yet decadent. It was a mouthful of sheer indulgence. Although I was sick, I did enjoy this thoroughly.
Flesser’s sell excellent meat pies and breads, sticky breads and buns and little cakes and even ginger bread. Again I wish I took photos of it.
Hope you enjoy the photos and if you are ever in the vicinity do make a beeline to Flesser’s. It may be far out, but it has become quite an institution. They have such lovely staff too, happy and sweet and passionate about their Vanilla Slice.
I will do a class on Vanilla Slice real soon.
Dan and I were on the way to Fiji via Sydney Airport and we got hungry and came across this Chinese Restaurant. It was actually rather crowded as well. So we walked in and I was in the mood for Dim Sum, but I have this rule when I fly.. I try to fly on a empty to light stomach, and Fiji being 4 hours away made that rule necessary. Thing is I was sick the previous day and sat at the hotel all the time and only had crackers, Vegemite and tea. So I was kind of hungry.
Anyhow, the restaurant was run by Indonesian Chinese so it was quite interesting to see how different their food would be. I have never tasted Indonesian cooked Chinese food so it was going to be an experience.
Menu was simple but not cheap. The fact that this being an airport could have had something to do with that. One last meal and get slapped with a large bill. So we chose, I took a Chicken Spring Roll and a soup as by now I had totally no voice, and was whispering most of the time. Dan ordered a Fried Rice and I was quite shocked by the price. Ordinarily I would have never ordered rice, so I would not have even noticed the fried rice section. But again I was interested to see what was in a scoop of AUD20 Fried Rice.
My Soup came, ordinary, well simple just the way I wanted it. Clear Soup with vegetables but somehow there was Broccoli in the photo in the menu but none appeared in the soup. That is really a pet hate with me. You show something in a photo, then you make sure it is there or not tell me. Still I liked my soup, it was comforting for a voiceless person like me. It was made of rich stock, so that was another plus.
The rice came and still curious to know how an AUD20 fried rice looked like, I took a fork and scooped up some rice. Simple tasting fried rice, good quality rice, but then the next mouthful told me why it was that price. It was laden with fresh scallops and fresh prawns along with a good amount of fish roe. As a Cook I always like to find out why some places can sell their simple foods at a remium price and so today I found out why this AUD20 Fried Rice was available. Nothing beats Fresh Scallops and Fresh Prawns in fried rice. And this is coming from someone who dislikes seafood. The bite, the taste, the flavor was simply out of this world for me. I would like to do the same when I get back just for the sake of doing so. This is something I must try at my next dinner party. This was as good as the Crab Meat Fried Rice I had at Erawan.
The use of fresh products often means you need not use much ingredients to enhance your foods. And when I say Fresh products, I mean products that are not frozen but most probably bought and used on the day. This adds so body and flavor to your dish. Frozen foods while convenient, is somehow lacking of this added goodness.
Then I remembered we ordered Chicken Spring Rolls. I was going to cancel it but before I could say cancel, the supervisor ran into the kitchen and in a few minutes the spring rolls came out. It was nice, nice as it is as I do not like dunking my foods into sauce and when I did taste the sauce, it was quite yukky! The Spring Roll was full of chicken and I believe finely sliced bamboo pith. now on a good day I would have gotten quite sick but somehow my body must have changed. Note the yucky red sauce in the photo.
I could not believe this sauce was served in a restaurant that just served me AUD20 Fried Rice. It was just shocking.
Anyhow it was time to leave, and if you note I do not have the name of the restaurant. I cannot even find it online for some reason. So if anyone out there reads it and knows the name of the restaurant, do tell me please. I was satisfied, we boarded to plane to Fiji, for our next food and travel endeavor.
After an all day thingy in Brisbane City while waiting for my cousin Kevin and his wonderful wife Suzie to finish work, Dan and I walked around Brisbane’s Queen Street and I think we both found it rather uneventful. Nothing tempted us to spend unlike Melbourne, the food, well we were quite full because we had or at least he had a heavy breakfast courtesy of Sandi. Sandi spoils us I should say.
Anyhow as usual we got our roads mixed up and so we had to race up the street and I was actually getting hot under the collar, close to sweaty, when I chanced upon Suzie sitting on a bench waiting for Kevin. What a relief!
So we drove around and I really did not know what to expect with German food in Australia as if you have read earlier my encounter with a German Restaurant in PJ was kind of so so, and it was not the first time as well that I had German so keeping my fingers crossed and as positive as I could be we finally reached the place. Parking was a bit of a problem but Kevin managed a la true Malaysian style.
Black Forest German Restaurant was a sight to behold with all its Christmas Decorations. Then I remembered Christmas in July. The whole place was a picture book of Christmasness, complete with Santa Claus and angels and the works. The cosiness gave a very family feel to the place, it was like a home with a very big family waiting to get together. Black Forest is family run, so don’t be surprised to see the owners wife who is Asian, serving you garbed in a German costume.
So we were seated and I noticed there was a booking for a big group of about 20 people. I was told you need to book even on a normal day or you won’t get a place. So there you go, as over the top as it looks and sounds on their website, Black Forest rules!
So we ordered our drinks, all took lemon lime bitter for some reason and it was a good size I might add instead of little miniscule glasses that finish after two gulps. I did have a tough time on what to choose as I peeked at the next table and realized portions were rather big. So I let the three of them choose and so I made my choice after that. It was non sausage like the rest.
To describe these three large plates of sausages and pork slices is not easy, they were all nice, and I still had a sensitive tongue. The sausages unlike what I have tasted in Malaysia tended to be smoother and more solid. When I say solid I mean it was meaty and heavy, and extremely tasty. I believe Dan and Kevin had the Nuernberger Rostbratwuerstchen which as you can see was a pretty big plate of all things sausages. I did like the combination of sausages as it was a nice color and not too over fried as I have had sometimes. The mash potatoes were nice and 100% not the boxed kind.
Suzie had if I remember well the Grill Teller which had a piece of steak, pork chop, chicken chop, sausages and it was served with a large amount of potato salad. She is eating for two by the way. I wish I was hungrier, as I love sausages and could have eaten more. The mix of meats were tasty flavorsome, and most importantly they did not taste the same. The potato salad was good because they used the correct pontiac potatoes and not the usual mundane kinds we get here.
As for my dish, for the life of me I cannot remember what it was, simply because I wanted to be different. But mine came with a large amount of pork slices, with a sauce which I thought was rather ordinary but the pear cooked in wine with cranberry and with a dollop of crème fraiche. And for the carbos on my unlike the others who had potatoes I had two slices of stuffing which had bits of chestnuts and herbs. I thought that was a good choice. For my vegetables I had purple cabbage which was sautéed. This gave the whole dish a very nice color combination. I ate all my food, because it looked and tasted nice. The others did not… pity I could have had more sausages.
For Dessert, we decided on one Dessert and it was Heavenly Delight. It was a waffle kind of base served with morello cherries and a dollop of ice cream. I think there should have been a hint of Kirsch to give it a bit more oomph. I did not eat much of the dessert as the sourness was stinging sensitive tongue.
The bill…AUD132. I thought it was not too bad actually because certainly if we had it here in Malaysia it would have been a lot more.
I’ve always been a fan for lightly tasting food and this hit the spot. Nothing was overly spiced or herbed, it was just nice. I would like to go to Black Forest again when I go there next, this time on a totally empty stomach!

We chanced upon Elephant Rock Café quite by accident. Only because it rained and there was no where to take shade except this unassuming little restaurant in front of Currumbin Beach. In fact at first glance you would not think it was much of a place because it was not crowded as it was way past lunch time. Anyhow we plodded in all soggy and wet and I caught sight of their pastries and cakes and what caught my eye instantly was their Tofu Cheese Cake. Now I have always like Tofu Cheese Cake and have yet to find one that was good. I am talking of a yearning that dates back to Oprah Winfrey’s Cookbook in 1993 which featured this recipe but I never ever tried it. I have had Tofu Cheesecake before and it was catastrophic! Not once, not twice, but many a time. But I decided to take the chance today.
Ok before I get started, I have to say there was no signboard except for the little blackboard, now this made me raise my eyebrows a little bit wondering if this cafe was an ordinary cafe with a little bit of thrills and frills thrown in. Well, NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! or in this case NEVER JUDGE A RESTAURANT JUST BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNBOARD!
Dan of course said he was not hungry, but that as usual is always left to be seen. In the end he ordered a Spicy Tomato Juice, with the Menu of the day which was a Trevalla with potatoes and vegetables with a tangy creamy sauce topped with a tomato salsa.
Now I really did not know what to expect as while sitting inside Elephant Rock Café and having the Owner and her very beautiful daughter sitting in front of you, you realize this place is a nice hangout on a lazy afternoon. Perfect for the Ladida kind! In fact the Owner and her Beautiful Daughter and their friends that day with the cute baby did look the perfect picture of the Ladida Kind!
Then looking at the menu which you can actually find on their website, you realize that this is actually quite a nice place which features very modern Australian Cuisine, something that I had yet to try, and in fact all through our holiday, we never ever had the chance to do so again.
I never hung out at Elephant Rock when I lived on the Gold Coast because we always hung out at Surfers Paradise. But somehow in the last ten years, the more happening places seem to be moving south.
The Spicy Tomato Juice was simply divine. It was different and with the black pepper sprinkled over it, it went down your throat with a funny feel, that was refreshing yet heaty. It was a cold beverage but suitable for a cold wet day. I had a pot of tea because I was wet and cold and was having dessert.
My Tofu Cheese Cake was just simply scrumptious. It was like satin and absolutely no taste of tofu whatsoever, it was milky but in a lightish soy kind of way, and being a person who is only so so with cheesecake, this was really nice. Comforting, light and in a modern setting. I could have had another piece, but weighty issues did not permit me. But now looking at it I wish I did.
Now Dan’s fish was really out of this world. The taste was a mixture of sour, sweet, tangy, and you could distinctly taste the ingredients in the dressing and it went superbly with the potatoes and the vegetables. The fish….. coming from a non fish eater was perfect as the picture. It was perfectly cooked, just a slight bit underdone as it should be crispy on the outside, wet and tasty on the inside. When you eat this fish you will know what a Trevalla tastes like. In fact if the chef cooked ten different types of fish exactly the same way, you would still be able to distinctly tastes the ten different flavors of each fish. I believe the chef was that talented. And the sauce which was divinely satiny similar to a lemon Beurre Blanc, but with a tinge of something I could not get my finger on. Perhaps Dan was eating too fast and I did not have a chance to taste it enough.
The gelling of Eastern and Western Flavors was done so naturally it made fusion cuisine look really look passé. In fact the whole menu was like a perfect combination of flavors from the two different worlds.
Kudos to the chef of Elephant Rock Café. Kudos to the Owner for creating such a scrumptious little place. And finally the bill presented with love, now who can argue when something is so lovingly presented.
Do check out the website as it gives you a whole picture and trust me it’s all true! I will 100% go back to Elephant Rock Café when I go back to the Gold Coast next year. I would describe this restaurant as a very well thought of restaurant which will give bigger names a run for its money in the near future.
Elephant Rock Café has far to go. It should be somewhere more major to take on the big guys! Thumbs up Elephant Rock Café!
It was a horrible day on the Gold Coast as it rained non stop from the night before. We woke up to the loud pitter patter of rain and it rained so much that the billabongs in Vera’s yard (a very large yard) was to its brim. It was no fun because we could not go out and pluck oranges and mandarins for juicing as it was just too wet. It was so wet we had to cancel our trip to Movie World that day.
So after our activity at the kindergarten Ana, Tomislav and Maia go to, Vera hurried us and took us for lunch before driving up to Springfield Lakes. So she suggested Hachi, which was up the road and through the rain we found a park and entered this rather out of the way Japanese Restaurant which seemed to have a good following of the locals who were all there waiting and ordering their food.
We went through the menu and so we placed our orders, one thing that caught my eye was Agedashi Cheese. We had no clue what it would taste like now how it would look, so that was the good part of it all.
I ordered a salad, Dan ordered a Salmon and Vera ordered Ginger Pork. The restaurant was filling up something I thought was rather strange as it was a working day and mainly it was locals having Japanese on a rather cold late morning.
Miso soup came, and I never touch Miso Soup as it gives me cold sweat.
So Agedashi Cheese comes and we were quite shocked to see how it was served. Unlike Agedashi Tofu which is usually half immersed into the soy bonito soup, this was like a soup. We were all a bit apprehensive about the taste but a mouthful of it told us otherwise. It was nice. It was a strange kind of nice, because the fried cheese actually blended well with the soup. It had a nice balance of salt and sweet and the creamy tang the mozzarella cheese had. I guess the way it was served was left to be desired, but it was certainly something I would try again.
Vera’s Ginger Pork was nice, rather gingerly but nice on a cold rainy day. It had to be eaten with rice, and since it was part of the set, it came with the works. I would not say it was the finest Japanese Food, but it was more so in the comfort food category. Something that may not look so nice but still can hit the right taste buds. That was how I would describe the Ginger Pork.
As for Dan’s fish, it tasted nice, obviously it was frozen salmon so of course the taste not the best, but with the sauce, and the accompaniments it had a nice taste to it. I am biased here because I do not really like fish especially the frozen kind. For the price we paid in the end, it was not too bad, all our food was under AUD50.
So if you’re on the Gold Coast, out near Palm Beach, and you come across this unassuming restaurant, just walk in. You’ll be surprised. I wish sometimes we had some small Japanese places like this in KL, a place that has no pretense and serves good Japanese Grub.
On our first day in Melbourne, my best Gal Cass was raving about Gianni’s where she always had her coffee and sometimes sandwich and even lunch.
So our very first and very last breakfast in Melbourne was at Gianni’s. This review only covers the last breakfast we had there because I totally forgot to take my camera out and take photographs. Got too hungry and just gobbled up the food.
The service at Gianni’s is simply wonderful, the ladies who work there know everyone by name and even if they did not customers were greeted warmly and loudly. It was just the way they communicated with their customers that made the whole Gianni’s experience a memorable one. These were people who worked there and were not necessarily the owners and yet Gianni’s was theirs. This kind of feeling is never found here in our country for some reason. Even Dan and I were known there because Cass mentioned us, and as soon as we entered, they all screamed out to say welcome. Funnily enough, the people who come into Gianni’s are workmen who work on the streets to lawyers who sit there in the morning discussing their cases. This is me eavesdropping. So it all boils down to the fact that because there is no social barrier, anyone and everyone can enjoy good food at any place. Funny this can never happen in our country.
So on our last day, Cass left us there and so I ordered a Roasted Vegetable with a slice of Feta Cheese ( A big slice I might add) Sandwich on Focaccia and Dan who was not hungry ordered a Big Breakfast. Now I was quite curious to taste a Roasted Vegetable Sandwich because frankly I have never had one before. So when our food came, it was just simply awesome taking that first bite of my sandwich. The flavors of the different roasted vegetables bursting out with the melted Feta cheese was simply indescribable. In fact Dan who ordered his Big Breakfast ate quite a bit of my sandwiches as well. The roasted vegetables gave out a taste that while still a little crunchy but a nice roasted after taste, coupled with the melting feta, it was really a taste I could not describe. Personally I could have had another sandwich because it was that nice and the fact that Dan ate some of mine as well.
So far Dan and I have come to the conclusion, in Australia, you pay for things but you get good stuff. He had a big plate of brekkie consisting of two toasted tomatoes, two slices of toast, pieces and pieces of Bacon, Sausages, and two sunny side up eggs.
I recommend Gianni’s Luncheons to anyone who goes to Melbourne. I went there twice and it was really good and I got my money’s worth. Service is impeccable, the variety of foods is really good, salads in the morning is something else and they do not have one or two types but a good variety. The coffees are excellent as well I am told by Cass. I will surely go to Gianni’s again.
It would be a dream come true if I ever opened up something like Gianni’s in the future. A place where everyone knows everyone and we all come over for good value and quality grub. I have never ever thought of opening my own place till I stepped into Gianni’s. Why? Because it gave me hope that places like this can still exists in a very busy city. Some day eh!
Meals we had at Springfield Lakes – Queensland.
Now over the last few years of not meeting one of my dearest friends, Sandi Dai, she seems to have suddenly acquired a passion for cooking. And we are not talking cooking baby food, it seems the woman now is quite a gourmand in her own right.
We had such a lot of different foods, and we’re talking about a woman was such a ladida darling in real life that entering a kitchen would have been beneath her Royal Ladidaness. This has changed thanks to kids. Now don’t you love kids, they just have a way of bringing you down a pedestal or two? But nevertheless, she would be going on about making this and that and this thatsed so good, and the kids loved it and everyone loved that. I was quiet and reserved most times listening and taking things in nice and gently.
Well I was in for a shock, and the thing is she was so confident of her new found talent she actually challenged me. I just thought to my self well, we’ll see how good you are Sandi Dai!!!
Well from the photos you will see, I had to keep my thoughts to my self all through our stay there because Sandi with her new ally Dan, just conjured up wonder after wonder out of her kitchen. And I might add she had a complete kitchen with everything needed as well.
Eggs Benedict was one. She did keep saying on and on about making us Eggs Benedict but I just hushed it off by saying I was not hungry and silly excuses till Dan got in the picture and said, “Yes, I would like Eggs Benedict”.
I pretended to say it was too heavy for me and all that jazz that most of my friends are quite used too, anyhow, in the end I felt like a Bloody Idiot! Her Eggs Benedict together with Hollandaise Sauce was just too good. And because I chose not to eat I had to settle for half an Egg Benedict on half a slice of bread. The photos show you how rich it was in color and taste. It was awesome! Coupled with the Silverbeet, it was simply out of this world, just enough Carbs, Protein and Vegetables. The Hollandaise Sauce was truly and simply RICH! I actually wanted more. I wanted to take the whole piece from Dan’s plate, but shame set in.
We even had Bread and Butter Pudding with light lashings of Brandy. That was thoroughly what the doctor ordered. We used up the left over French baguette, and left it to soak overnight. This was one of the things I prepared actually.
Her next endeavor Cheese Fondue and Artichoke Dip. This was Dan’s idea as he has a cheese fetish so to speak. Constantly complaining how his figure has gone awry over this holiday, this was going to be one of these days. This time Dan and I had to go and get the groceries, there was five on the list but when we went to Coles that day, it became like a Food Disneyland for Dan. He just wanted to try everything, from chocolate, biscuits, cheeses, pates, twisties, you just name it he had it in the cart. I guess I was no help in this matter as well. So the five items ended up being close to 20 odd items and 2 hours later, after circling Springfield numerous times because someone did not want to listen to directions we got home.
Then Sandi and Dan got into action, I did the little things of course while keeping an eye on the two “novices”, I did all the stirring and cutting up of things. Little things you know so I could at least say I contributed to this fiasco waiting to happen. Then.. right before my eyes, once everything was laden out on the table, I had to eat my words. The Artichoke Dip was divine, the fondue was just as divine. I had a sensitive tongue that day, or so that was my excuse for not eating too much , but indeed had I not had my tongue being superbly sensitive I would have eaten more. Needless to say, our guests and Dan finished everything.
On our final night, once again Dan got into the picture with Dan over what was to be made that day. It seems like no one asks me anything these days. So I sulked and went on to type my blogs while the Two rather not Novice Chefs went about preparing an array of dips and accompaniments. The result!
Some of the dips were bought but most of them were made by Sandi and Dan, and bought versus home made clearly saw the latter way ahead of the bought products. We had Blue Cheese Dip, Guacamole, Hommus, a Basil and Pinenut Dip, 2 types of Pate’s, Smoked Salmon and also all the different Crackers and Vegetables to go with it. Truly a divine array of colors placed on the table on the deck outside and we ate away with music playing in the background.
And finally what was the other thing I prepared??
Shocking eh? But it was not my fault, I just had to keep an eye on those two, that I forgot my own work!

I’m happy with this roll of film. Most of my images are composed and exposed in the way I intended. The tones of the photographs really compliment the subject matter. I did experience some unintentional blur in my images.
The depth of field is quite shallow within this photograph and I feel it works well. The contrast of the greens, purple and yellow really adds more depth. I feel this photograph could have been better, had the pose of the subject matter been more relaxed/unaware.
I purposely shot with the door frame in the middle of my image as I wanted to viewers eye to be lead. I do enjoy the fact you are given a glimpse but are left in the unknown about what else there is to see. I feel the plants in and around the photograph act as a kind of botanical frame.
As depicted in the Harry Potter films, the scene of the huge elaborate corridors, was something that created a feeling of awe and excitement. The blank scene allows you to fill it, to create your own narrative. Again with the added mystery of the door at the end.
Once the nunnery had ended their residency the Abbey passed through multiple hands of ownership until reaching William Henry Fox Talbot some time in the 19th Century. Following the owership of the Talbot family the Abbey and surrounding village were passed to the National Trust in order to preserve it due to it’s importance in photographic history, due to the pioneering work of William Henry Fox Talbot. The National Trust promotes the village and Abbey as one, hosting the Fox Talbot museum and access to the Abbey grounds.
William Henry Fox Talbot was a mathematician, botanist and chemist. At his home, Lacock Abbey, he investigated all of the sciences but is best known for inventing photography. His process of creating a negative in the camera and from that making multiple positive prints was the dominant process throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In conversing with Catholics, I frequently hear the assertion that the Church of the Reformation (or the Reformed Church) is only five hundred years old and that it cannot therefore be the Church founded by Jesus Christ and his apostles. Without further substantiation (and it is often thrown out as a mere rhetorical flourish), this statement rides roughshod over the historical contention of the Reformed Church that did nothing but restore the one Church of Jesus Christ to its ancient Catholic and Apostolic integrity. Now the Reformers may not have actually succeeded in doing so (although I am convinced that they did!), but the fact of the matter remains that in no way did they believe that they were creating an ecclesial body that had not existed for the previous 1500 years.
Therefore, it will not do for Catholic critics of the Reformed Church to merely assert that the latter was a sixteenth-century innovation and therefore false. That is to disrespectfully ignore what the Reformed Church believes about itself, and it is also to presuppose the very thing that a Reformed Christian disputes, i.e. that the Catholic Church is the only true Church of Jesus and the apostles. Thus, Catholics who merely assert that the Reformed Church only came into existence five hundred years ago will sound convincing only themselves.
What was our force? What was our number? What wisdom or worldly policy was in us, to have brought to a good end so great an enterprise?—our very enemies can bear witness. Yet in how great purity did God establish among us His True Religion, as well as in doctrine as in ceremonies!… This we acknowledge to be the strength given to us by God, because we esteemed not ourselves wise in our own eyes, but, understanding our own wisdom to be but foolishness before the Lord our God, we laid it aside, and followed only that which we found approved by Himself.
In this point could never our enemies cause us to faint, for our First Petition was, ‘That the revered face of the Primitive and Apostolic Church should be [brought back] again to the eyes and knowledge of men.’ In that point, our God hath strengthened us till the work was finished, as the world may see.
The Reformed Church is the Church reformed according to the Word of God so as to restore to it the face of the ancient Catholic and Apostolic Church. It is not in any sense the founding of a new Church, but on the contrary the rebuttal of the innovations and improvisations that grew up unchecked through the Dark Ages and then received rationalization in the mediaeval Church at the hands of the great scholastic theologians. By that time the whole piety of the Western Church had grown so far away from its origins in the apostolic Church and had become so powerfully entrenched in the life and thought of people and clergy that it succeeded in resisting all demands for reform from within the Church and demanded instead careful systematization…. But the Church could hardly go on growing farther and farther away from its origins by way both of addition and subtraction without putting a severe strain upon the whole life of the Church—sooner or later it had to reach a breaking point….
Thus what happened at the Reformation was the result of the deviation of the Roman Church in which it so widened the gap between itself and its apostolic foundation that in point of fact it shattered the continuity of the Church even before the Reformation took place. When the inner life of the Church as the redeemed people of God reasserted itself only to find it shackled and fettered by a hardened and rationalized institution, it could only bear suffering witness against the scandal of a Church institutionally at variance with its own deepest life….
This was the Church Reformed according to its own catholic norms and standards acting against the new-fangled ideas and conceptions invented and imposed by Rome upon the Western Church. The Reformation was not a movement to refound the Church, or to found a new Church; for the whole reforming movement would undoubtedly have continued within the Roman Church had it not been for the … recalcitrance of its hierarchy, which insisted in binding the movement of the Word and Spirit by the traditions of men and making it of none effect, and, when that failed, in throwing it out altogether, just as the early Christians were thrown out of the synagogues and followed with maledictions and anathemas. Thus in wide areas of Europe the Church as the redeemed people of God moved on in obedience to its apostolic foundation and left the opposing hierarchy behind to hard in its bitter reaction to the Gospel of Grace.
Now I have no intention of doing the very thing that this post means to counter. This is not merely a war of assertions in which the Catholic claim to be the only true Church is rebutted only by a similar claim on the Reformed side. No, my intention, as indicated above, is much more modest. I simply want to make clear that in the Reformed understanding, the Reformed Church is nothing other than, as Torrance stated, “the Church reformed according to the Word of God so as to restore to it the face of the ancient Catholic and Apostolic Church”.
Taken by itself, of course, Knox’s and Torrance’s claim lacks supporting evidence. But that is beside the point for the purposes of this post. To my Catholic friends, I simply want to say that if you would like to engage in respectful and profitable discussion with me, or with any other Reformed Christian for that matter, it will not be possible if you simply dismiss us as late-comers to the ecclesial scene without further adieu. As I mentioned above, the argument that “the Reformed Church was a medieval innovation and not the Church founded 2000 years ago by Jesus and his apostles” will be convincing only to a Catholic. It certainly will not persuade anyone else.

Perhaps the most stunning fact about the proclamation of the [dogma of the assumption of Mary] is the way in which the Roman Church has sought to justify it: on another foundation than that of the prophets and apostles upon which the whole Church is built…. Far from there being any Scriptural authority for the idea it is actually contrary to the unique eschatological character of Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension, and the unique relation this bears to the resurrection of all who will rise again at the Parousia; in fact it turns the assumption of Mary into one of the saving acts of God alongside the salvation-events of Christ Himself.
Far from there being any justification for the notion in the tradition of the Church, even after the sixth century the liturgy of the feast of the Assumption of Mary regularly speaks of her dormitio, pausatio, and transitus animae, with never a word about a physical assumption…. In no sense therefore can the new dogma be said to fulfil the requirements of the Vincentian canon: [what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all] [for further justification of this point, see the quote from Epiphanius below]. The horrifying thing about this dogma therefore is not only that it has no biblical or apostolic foundation, but that here quite plainly the Roman Church claims to be able to produce at will “apostolic tradition” out of itself. In other words, here where the Pope exercises for the first time the authority given him by the Vatican Council of 1870, he both lays claim to be able to produce dogmatic truth, and to do that apart from apostolic legitimation….
This inevitably has the most far-reaching consequences for ecumenical discussions with Roman Catholics. The Evangelical Church takes its stand upon the words of the Lord in St. John’s Gospel which declare that the Spirit of Truth will not speak anything of Himself but recalls the Church to all things which Christ has said, and so leads it into all Truth. Bound thus to the Holy Spirit speaking through the Scriptures, the Evangelical Church can only be profoundly shocked both at the extent of Roman deviation from the apostolic teaching and at the fundamental renunciation of the apostolic foundation which this involves. Add to this the fact that the Vatican Council, which gave the Pope the authority he has used, declares also that such ex cathedra definitions of dogma are “in and from themselves irreformable”, and it becomes perfectly apparent that the Roman Church can never go back to the apostolic foundation for correction and reform.
The second important fact we must note about the new dogma is that it brings Roman Catholic Mariology to its crowning point. The Evangelical Church recognizes the unique place of Mary in the Gospel as the mother of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and will not separate its thought of her from the divine act of the Incarnation. But it recognizes also that Mary was a sinner who herself in the Magnificat acknowledged a Saviour, and it remembers that on the Cross Jesus gave Mary His earthly mother to be the mother of John, clearly declaring that with His death His relation to her was not to be continued as it was before. She stood there one with the other sinners whose sins He was bearing as the Lamb of God, and as such came under the judgment of the Cross as well as its redemption.
Roman theology has, however, for long been in the process of extracting Mary from the communion of the Church of redeemed sinners, and separating her from the fellowship of the faithful…. More significant still, however, is the fact that the Roman Church has, through some communicatio idiomatum, been transferring to Mary the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures teach us that there is salvation in none other than Jesus Christ, for there is none other name given among men whereby we must be saved. He only is Mediator, is Son of God, is King. But precisely parallel with these divine attributes we find the Roman Church speaking of Mary as Maria Mediatrix et Corredemptrix … Now that Mary is declared to have ascended into heaven like Christ, we have promulgated the last stage in this parallelism between Christ and the Virgin Mary.
Here at last the Roman Church has taken a definite step which calls in question its apostolicity…. To be the One, Holy, Catholic Church means that throughout all the changes of history until the Second Advent of Jesus Christ the Church is and remains identical with itself … in that it maintains the teaching of the apostles in the obedience of faith, and does not alter its nature by changing its foundation, by subtracting from it or adding to it other than that which has already been laid. Therein lies the apostolicity of the Church of Jesus Christ. But now that the Roman Church has taken a step which inevitably calls in question its apostolicity, Protestants are aghast…. In our brotherly responsibility which as the Evangelical Church we bear toward them we pray for them, and pray the more earnestly knowing how great is the agony of Reformation.
And there have been many such things to mislead the deluded, though the saints are not responsible for anyone’s stumbling; the human mind finds no rest, but is perverted to evils. The holy virgin may have died and been buried—her falling asleep was with honor, her death in purity, her crown in virginity. Or she may have been put to death—as the scripture says, “And a sword shall pierce through her soul”—her fame is among the martyrs and her holy body, by which light rose on the world, [rests] amid blessings. Or she may have remained alive, for God is not incapable of doing whatever he wills. No one knows her end.
But we must not honor the saints to excess; we must honor their Master. It is time for the error of those who have gone astray to cease. Mary is not God and does not have her body from heaven but by human conception, though, like Isaac, she was provided by promise. And no one should make offerings in her name, for he is destroying his own soul. But neither, in turn, should he be insolent and offer insult to the holy Virgin.
There it is, clear testimony from the Catholic Church’s own revered tradition that, at the time of Epiphanius’s writing, Mary was neither honored “to excess” by receiving “offerings” nor was her bodily assumption part of the apostolic faith which Epiphanius had received, defended against heresy, and then handed on to future generations. Thus, Torrance is fundamentally right when he states that the bodily assumption of Mary does not meet the Vincentian criteria for catholic dogma, since it clearly was not, at least in Epiphanius’s day, believed everywhere, always, and by all. Hence, it should never have been declared such by Pope Pius XII, and the fact that it was throws the legitimacy of the Catholic Church’s claim to apostolicity into serious doubt.
And that’s putting it nicely.

The doctrine of justification by grace through faith is at the heart of the Gospel. Agreement in understanding how the salvation brought by Christ actually becomes effective in sinful humans is of high importance for ecumenical progress. The Reformed Churches will now affirm the consensus in basic truths of the doctrine of justification as corresponding to Reformed doctrine. One of the crucial issues of dissent between the Reformers and the authorities of the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century is thus being diffused and overcome, making further growth in spiritual and ecclesial communion between the Protestant and Catholic Churches possible….
Now regardless of whatever we may think of either the Joint Declaration or the WCRC’s adherence to it, the general feeling seems to be substantially the same as the Vatican’s statement: yes, differences and difficulties still remain, but we are all able to agree on “the heart of the gospel” and so we can affirm a certain measure of unity and even engage together in evangelization.
Now that the Munificentissimus Deus has been proclaimed, and the dogma of the physical assumption of the Virgin Mary has become for Roman Catholics necessaryfor saving faith, … Evangelical theology delivers its soul and in the most brotherly spirit warns the Roman Church of the dire consequences of its action, not only for the Ecumenical Church but even for the Church of Rome itself….
The Church that has the promise that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it is the Apostolic Church. To be the One, Holy, Catholic Church means that through all the changes of history until the Second Advent of Christ the Church remains identical with itself in its apostolic foundation in Christ, and that it maintains faithfully the teaching of the apostles as delivered in the Holy Scriptures, and does not alter its nature by changing its foundation in the faith, by subtracting from it or by adding to it other than that which has been laid in Christ. The Church which refuses to be conformed to the apostolic Scriptures, which declines to be reformed and cleansed and purged by the Word of Truth mediated through the apostles, thereby declares that it is no longer identical with its foundation in Christ, and that it is not the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. By calling in question its Apostolicity it denies its Catholicity.
The grave charge which we in the Evangelical Church lay against the Roman Church is that it has increasingly subtracted from the sole Mediatorship of Christ and has increasingly corrupted itself through improvisations in doctrines, sacraments and ministries…. [T]he dogma of the physical Assumption of Mary is the most blatant deliberate attempt by the Roman Church to invent a doctrine (out of its own popular piety) knowing that it has no apostolic foundation, and knowing that it was contrary to centuries and centuries even of the Roman Church’s tradition. The fact that so-called relics of Mary’s body lie scattered about in older centres of Roman piety is standing witness that the Roman Church is no longer semper eadem, no longer identical with the Church that taught the death of Mary.
There would be much on which to comment here, but let me just highlight the absolutely critical point that Torrance makes regarding the impossibility of full and visible unity between Catholic and Evangelical churches. Even if we were to reach full agreement over the doctrines anathematized by Trent — or even if those anathemas were fully retracted (wishful thinking, I know) — it still would not bring Catholics and Protestants any closer to true unity. Why not? Because ever since 1950, the Catholic Church’s official and irreformable dogmatic position is that anyone who denies, or even casts doubt on, the bodily assumption of Mary, “has fallen away completely from the divine and Catholic Faith” and “will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul” (Munificentissimus Deus, 45, 47). As long as this doctrine stands, there can be no true unity between Catholics and Protestants, irrespective of whatever other areas of agreement, such as the Joint Declaration on Justification, may be found.
This issue, however, represents a far graver problem than merely the ecumenical one. As Torrance avers, it signals the definitive departure from the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church of all ecclesial bodies that submit themselves to the bishop of Rome, whose line of succession presumed to declare with divine authority a doctrine that is wholly absent from its apostolic foundation. Regardless of whatever other issues there may be, Munificentissimus Deus removes all doubt as to the deviation of the Catholic Church from that which constitutes the universal consent of the early catholic church bequeathed to us in the ecumenical creeds. Even if the bodily assumption of Mary could be proven to be biblical teaching, Rome’s standing declaration that it is an irreformable article of saving faith constitutes a serious breach of faith with all those who simply confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. To think that somehow an agreement like the Joint Declaration could mark a “significant stage” on the way to full and visible unity between Catholic and Protestant churches is naive at best, deceptive at worst. According to Munificentissimus Deus, Protestants are damned, and thus the insurmountable obstacle to full Christian unity.
For many evangelicals, “ecumenism” is a dirty word. I am sympathetic toward those who do, especially with the ways in which the term has been (mis)used and diluted into an amorphous soup of confessional relativism. At its heart, however, I think that “ecumenism” — not unlike the label “evangelical” as well! — has a richer significance than is often perceived or allowed. What I have in mind is what could be called “ecumenism as mission”. In many ways, this is simply another way of saying “reformation as mission”, in the sense that it is the form which Christian mission assumes in ecclesial contexts where conflicts have arisen and divisions have occurred. It is simply another facet of what Paul identified as the “ministry of reconciliation” in 2 Corinthians 5:18). Thus understood, ecumenism would mean the opposite of how it is frequently defined: not a sacrifice of truth for the pursuit of unity, but rather the pursuit of unity through mutual witness (with repentance and correction) to the truth.
That is what the Church is meant to be as the Body of Christ, a community of reconciliation ready to bring to men the healing of the Cross, and to live out in their midst the reconciled life, drawing them into its own fellowship of peace with God and with all men.
The tragedy is that the Church has allowed the same sin that divides and destroys God’s creation to invade its own fellowship and to disrupt it, creating division where there should be unity, discord where God gave healing and concord. In this way, as Professor Skydsgaard has recently pointed out, the Church has come to live in disagreement with its own innermost nature and purpose. Where it is sent to proclaim reconciliation and to live that reconciliation out in a communion of love and faith in the One Lord, it presents to the world a divided Church, and thus resists and misrepresents the very Gospel which it is sent to proclaim and which it is called to live out in the world.
Were it not that God in His great mercy refuses to be baffled and dismayed, but still makes use of His Church, in spite of the fact that it has so tragically sabotaged itself as an instrument for peace and love in His hands, the world would surely tumble to pieces in self-destruction. God who made even the Cross to serve His redeeming purpose of love, by that same Cross is able to make the wrath of man to praise Him. Because His mercy is greater than our unfaithfulness, His grace reigns and abounds over our sinful divisions, so that He continues to call men and women to Himself and give them the shelter of His wings and the confidence of His love — but that is no reason why the Church should continue in sin, the sin of division, that grace may abound.
The Church that partakes of Holy Communion seeks to be renewed in it as a fellowship of reconciliation, but for that very reason it must be prepared to act out that which it receives at the Holy Table, and to live the reconciled life refusing to allow the sinful divisions of the world to have any place in its own life. The Church that nourishes its life by feeding upon the Body and Blood of Christ must live out in its own bodily existence the union and communion in which it participates in Christ. Holy Communion by its own innermost nature and by its whole intention and purpose requires of the Church to work hard to eliminate its division, to resolve to seek reconciliation with all from whom it is estranged.
It is just because unity is God-given that the Church cannot throw it down in the dust or allow it to be trampled upon but must cultivate it as a holy gift and as of the very essence of its salvation in Christ. The Church that allows itself to be divided thereby allows also its relation with Christ to be menaced and called into question. The divisions in the Church thus attack the Church’s participation in reconciliation and threaten to snap the life-line between it and God Himself. How can the Church be the Church and not be the Church? How can it be the Body of Christ and be divided, because Christ is not divided? These are serious questions that the Holy Spirit is putting to the churches in our day, and we have to give Him an account not in words simply but in active reconciliation.
It belongs to the function of the Church, then, to enter into history in the service of reconciliation, to live out its divine life in the midst of the world’s dividedness, and by living as well as witnessing, to bring men into the fellowship of healing and peace with God. In that service, resolutely and deeply performed, the Church will suffer. It is sent to suffer, because it is sent to take up the Cross and follow in the steps of the Suffering Servant, not in order to be a co-redeemer with Christ (how could it do that?), but to identify itself with the world in its guilt and to bear it up in prayer and intercession before God, and in sympathy and compassion, born of the overflowing love of God in Christ, to spend itself in the service of the Gospel until all men are confronted with the Saviour, and all nations and peoples are brought within the active reign of Christ clothed with His Gospel of reconciling grace.
And this Church will have at last to give an account at the judgement seat of Christ of how it has employed its gifts and undertaken its mission. That is why those seven letters to the seven Churches are recorded in the Apocalypse, that the Church may take heed, put its house in order, and be obedient to its Lord who already knocks at the door and waits to lift the latch and celebrate the final repast of communion with those who are His own…. The Last Judgement will force the churches to be what hitherto they have been, fellowships of reconciliation and communions of love, or sources of division and estrangement and bitterness.
It seems to me that Torrance’s argument can helpfully summarized by what John wrote in his first epistle (1:7): “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” This statement can also be reversed: if we do not have fellowship with one another, then we are not walking in the light and he is in the light, and we are still in our sin! That is to say, a failure of the church to walk in unity is symptomatic of a failure to walk in the light of God’s word. A lack of fellowship in the church casts doubt on the existence of that church’s fellowship with Christ! If Christ is the reconciliation of God and humanity, then the church as his body can be nothing less than a fellowship of reconciliation. So if it actually causes the opposite of reconciliation, what does that say about its standing as Christ’s body?
In such circumstances, the solution is not the kind of ecumenism that merely sweeps differences under the ecclesial rugs in order to feign a superficial form of unity. Torrance would never commend such an approach. Rather, the ecumenism of which he speaks — what I am calling “ecumenism as mission” — is that which occurs when the existence of division in the church leads it to press ever deeper into the biblical witness in order to articulate more faithfully and precisely the faith delivered once and for all to the saints. It is by engaging in interconfessional dialogue, rather than avoiding it, that churches find new opportunities for serving as witnesses of Jesus Christ. It must be, of course, respectful witness (quick to listen, slow to speak), repentant witness (the humility to not only give but accept correction from others), and reformative witness (intended for the other’s edification rather than proving one’s own confessional superiority). Yet witness it is, and witness it must be.
As I have often said in conversations with Catholics in Italy, the worst thing that we can do is not talk to each other. As long as we all see but in a mirror dimly, none of us can claim to know “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”. For that reason, we will always have something to learn, and we will always have something to teach. We may have to contend with the sad reality that the other side is unwilling to engage with us, but that does not exonerate us from the responsibility of living as a fellowship of reconciliation ourselves. And as a fellowship of reconciliation, we are constrained to work for unity in the church which can only result from a common walk in the light of truth. Thus, it is precisely through, rather than against, a properly-defined ecumenism (as in 1 John 1:7) that we — evangelicals churches in particular! — are given unique opportunities to witness to that light. It does not matter that we may achieve the goals we seek, for we are simply called to faithful. It is God alone who makes us fruitful.
T.F. Torrance, Conflict and Agreement in the Church, Vol. 1: Order and Disorder (Eugene, OR: Wipf & Stock, 1996), 118-122.
It is just here that the Reformed Churches have a witness to give and a contribution to make of great significance to the situation of the world Church today: in picking up again the Reformed integration of the different doctrines of the faith and in thinking them into each other more thoroughly than ever before. Take, for example, the relation of the Church and Ministry to the doctrine of Christ which so concerns the Ecumenical Movement: — by its very principle of procedure the Reformed Church has refused to divorce the ministry from the articles of saving faith, so that for us the ministry is a de fide concern. The Church and Ministry themselves belong to the articles of saving faith. Credo unam sanctam ecclesiam. The doctrine of the Church as the Body of Christ is part of Christology, so that the ordering of the Church as the Body of Christ on earth cannot be divorced from the dogmatic discipline through which the mind of the Church grows up into mature conformity to the mind of Christ. That was why in Calvin’s view doctrina and disciplina belonged together and overlapped, for disciplina is such learning and discipleship in the Christian faith that it shapes and orders the whole of the Christian life.
The dogmatic and ecclesiastical forms of the Church, the inner and outer, so to speak, may well be distinguished but they cannot be separated. The Church is one Spirit and one Body with Christ the Word made flesh. The New Testament knows nothing of the Church as one Spirit except in its bodily existence in our flesh and blood which Christ assumed and in which we are united to Him through the Spirit. Because of this Biblical emphasis upon the unity of the Church in Body and Spirit, the Reformed Church sought from the very beginning to allow the dogmatic and ecclesiastical forms of the Church’s life and ministry to interpenetrate each other in obedience to the Word of God, and so to restore the doctrinal and ecclesiastical face of the Ancient Catholic Church. In our Reformed Church we will not have a doctrine of the ministry or of succession that cannot be fully integrated with the doctrines of the Person of Christ or atonement; but on the other hand, we will not have formulations of other doctrines which do not contribute to the growth or edification of the Church as the living Body of Christ, to the Church as Ecclesia semper reformanda.
This means, of course, that theology and the life of the Church are inseparable, and theological activity belongs to the strenuous work and daily living of the Church, but it also means that the Reformed Church will only have a liturgy or engage in worship which is invigorated by theology and a theology which ministers to the worship of the Church…. Liturgy and theology go hand in hand. Theology divorced from worship is not divine, but liturgy that is divorced from theology is not true service of God. Such is the integration of doctrine and discipline, of faith and order, of worship and theology so characteristic of the Calvinistic Reformation.
As I see it, that is our greatest contribution to the theology of the world Church — the carrying through into the Ecumenical situation of an integration born out of the centrality of the doctrine of Christ, and therefore the Christological criticism of the doctrines of the Church, Ministry, and Sacraments, in order that as we seek to come together in Christ the doctrine of Christ may be allowed to reshape all our churches so that we may grow up together in the fulness of Christ. Only as in the World Council of Churches we are prepared for the strenuous task of reformation together and the joint criticism of our several traditions can we come together in such a way as to be the one flock of the one Shepherd. We in this [General Council of the World Presbyterian] Alliance must therefore engage in the World Council of Churches as the Ecclesia semper reformanda, in order to let the Word of God speak to us in the context of the joint study of the Holy Scriptures, in order that we may be more and more reformed by it and in this continuous reforming be shaped and armed for the great mission of Christ, the mission of reconciliation, in which we are engaged as servants.

As of late I have written a number of articles that address the now 500 year old division between the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches. I have been largely critical of what I see in the Catholic Church as standing in the way of healing that division, not least of which is the Roman papacy as it has come to be defined and exercised. Since, however, my aim is not to be critical as an end in itself (for critique should only clear the ground for construction), I want to give credit where credit is due and highlight positive developments where and when they occur. For this reason, I think that Pope Francis should be commended for his recent definition of “true ecumenism”.
First a word of introduction. Although in some evangelical circles the term “ecumenical” carries negative connotations, I unreservedly confess to being an ecumenical at heart, for I would desire nothing less than to witness a clear and visible manifestation of unity between the churches now divided. I am concerned, however, that such unity be pursued in the proper way, in the way in which the New Testament itself directs us. I do not envision that the Catholic-Protestant schism will be overcome through a mere “return to Rome” or a glossing over of the differences that exist. Why not? Because for all of the various social, cultural, and political factors that contributed to the birth of the Reformation, the Reformers were driven fundamentally by theological motivations. It is easy to forget that Martin Luther did not initially intend to break communion with the bishop of Rome, indicating that his basic complaint was not with the Church as an institution so much as with the errors that he discerned in its teaching. Since the Reformation arose primarily as a movement aimed at correcting the faith of the Catholic Church, then it is unlikely that a mere return of the Reformation’s offspring to the institution of the Catholic Church will suffice for true unity.
True ecumenism is based on a shared conversion to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Redeemer. If we draw close to him, we draw close also to one another. During these days let us pray more fervently to the Holy Spirit so that we may experience this conversion which makes reconciliation possible.
On this path, we Catholics and Lutherans, from several countries, together with various communities sharing our ecumenical journey, reached a significant step when, on 31 October last, we gathered together in Lund, Sweden, to commemorate through common prayer the beginning of the Reformation. This joint commemoration of the Reformation was important on both the human and theological-spiritual levels. After fifty years of official ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Lutherans, we have succeeded in clearly articulating points of view which today we agree on. For this we are grateful. At the same time we keep alive in our hearts sincere contrition for our faults. In this spirit, we recalled in Lund that the intention of Martin Luther five hundred years ago was to renew the Church, not divide her. The gathering there gave us the courage and strength, in our Lord Jesus Christ, to look ahead to the ecumenical journey that we are called to walk together.
The quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church. The blessing of unity cannot be separated from Him who blesses, for in Him it has its source and reality, through His Word and Spirit it is revealed to us, and only in faith in Him can it become a reality among us. I repeat: Jesus Christ as the one Mediator between God and man is the oneness of the Church, is that unity within which there may be a multiplicity of communities, of gifts, of persons with the one Church, while through it a multiplicity of churches are excluded. When we confess and assert that it belongs to the Church’s commission to be one Church, we must not have in mind the idea of unity, whatever its goodness and moral beauty may be – we must have Him in our mind; for in Him and in Him only…can those other multiplicities of the Church whether recent or of long standing, which claim an independence of their own, lose their life. “Homesickness for the una sancta” is genuine and legitimate only insofar as it is a disquietude at the fact that we have lost and forgotten Christ, and with Him have lost the unity of the Church.
If the root problem of our disunity is a disrupted fellowship with Christ, then the only solution, as the pope rightly observed, is a “shared conversion to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Redeemer”. This means, as the pope further acknowledged, that we must “keep alive in our hearts sincere contrition for our faults”. I appreciate that the pope included himself, and by extension the Catholic Church as a whole, in this. He did not say to the Lutheran delegation: “you keep alive in your hearts sincere contrition for your faults”, as though the blame is only to be laid at the feet of Luther. Indeed, Pope Francis reaffirmed the fact that Luther never wanted to divide the church, but quite the contrary: he believed that a renewal of the church could only strengthen its unity. Rather, the pope stressed that when it comes to church disunity, all sides are culpable and thus must adopt a fundamentally repentant attitude.
It is not coincidental that in the verse subsequent to the one quoted above John wrote: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us”. (1 John 1:8). In other words, when we find that we have broken fellowship with each other, than it will not do for some of us claim that we have no sin in the matter! None of us, neither Catholic nor Protestant (to say nothing of the Orthodox!), can be wholly exonerated. We have all contributed to this division in one way or another. Self-posturing or self-justification will never bring about the fellowship of which John is speaking. That can only happen through confession and repentance: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
Thus, if we as Catholics and Protestants truly want to walk the pathway to greater unity, that pathway will first and foremost be directed toward Christ himself. It is only as we draw near to Christ (rather than to a particular tradition or person or institution) that we will find ourselves drawn nearer to each other as well.

Hello everyone! I was sent this neon nail powder from http://www.bornprettystore.com to try out for you!
As you can see, it comes in a little pot with a sponge tip applicator much like you would get with an eyeshadow.
Now let me start by saying this product is intended to be used with gel. I don’t do gel. I really wanted to give a powder pigment a whirl because they are all the rage these days. So it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to use. That powder pigment is fine. Super fine! And not in the “hayyyyyyyy” way.
Now it IS crazy pigmented as you can see. This is colour option 2 (it comes in an assortment of 11 rainbow colours).
I tried to use it over a sticky top coat but it didn’t work out that well. I tried a neon orange base first but the results were lacklustre. Eventually I realized top-coating, then dipping my nail right into the pot, and then buffing with the applicator gave the best results.
I definitely intend to try this with gel nails. It was a very vibrant neon and pretty crazy under the UV light.
You can order this at http://www.bornprettystore.com (ID 36691 option 2) and if you use my code JDGK31 you can get 10% off all regular-priced items! And as always free world-wide shipping.

…but probably not for much longer.
Beautiful yellow poppies that flowered all summer and are still around even in November; they’re a cheering sight when I arrive home from work on a dark autumn afternoon. I hope they can stay around for a few more weeks, although they are looking somewhat tired by now. December?
So much change in a fortnight!
Dark afternoons and ever-darkening mornings. The garden chaotic with fallen leaves and unfinished projects. Decaying beauty in the woods.

An eBay assortment of curiosities!
Collectors of sheet music know that the artists pictured or photographed on the cover may have had only the most tenuous connection to a particular song (I’ve seen copies of — among other oddities — WHEN THEY PLAYED THE POLKA featuring Adrian Rollini, LITTLE SKIPPER featuring Bobby Hackett, and LIGHTS OUT featuring Louis, which of course they may have played.) But here are five Connie Boswell-sightings, circa 1931-33, both reassuring and elusive.
If anyone has acetates of Connie singing these songs, do let me know!
For those who want the rarest Boswelliana, check out the official Boswell Sisters eBay store — http://stores.ebay.com/theboswellsistersstore — which is run by Kyla Titus, Vet’s granddaughter, so you know the treasures are authentic. You can also visit it at helvetia520 — which has a 100% approval rating from buyers.
Draw your own conclusions about provenance and what it might mean that these lovely odd artifacts are bubbling to the surface. I’m just delighted that they are.
The most famous of the irreplaceable Misses Boswell — apparently before she began signing her name with two E’s.
Perfectly self-explanatory . . . from Roy’s long run on Fifty-Fourth Street. And the bar opened at 10 AM!
Again, perfectly self-explanatory. But I want to know the story behind this unused ticket. Who got sick or couldn’t go? That tale needs to be told.
Lucky “Pat,” a Swell Fellow indeed! And lucky us . . .
and I’m sure there will be others, But don’t be late — Saint Peter’s isn’t big enough to hold all the people who admired Eddie, who rocked to his beat on and off the bandstand.
The great players of a certain generation are leaving us in body, although what remains in sound and memory will outlive us all. I remember Eddie Locke as one of the anchors of Roy Eldridge’s band at Jimmy Ryan’s, at various concerts and gigs across New York City — cheerful, energetic, musically attuned, a disciple of the Master, Papa Jo Jones. And what better tribute could he have had then to be chosen by Coleman Hawkins for the rhythm section?
Like Ruby Braff, Eddie should — if art is measured by the calendar — have been a vigorous bopper, playing alongside Clifford Brown rather than Willie the Lion Smith. But he followed that four-beat rhythm he had heard in the Forties. It sustained him and he sustained every group he played with.
Eddie will be missed! But photographer John Herr caught a beaming Eddie in June 2008: a treasure.

Genes contain blue print of living organism. Malfunctioning occurred in cellular life is indicated by proteins which are responsible for behavior of genes. Fixed set of genes decides behavior and functioning of cells. They guide the cells what to do and when to do. To analyze the insight of biological activities, analysis of gene expressions is necessary. Advanced technology like microarray plays an important role in gene analysis as it captures expressions of thousands of genes under different conditions simultaneously. Out of thousands of genes, very few behave differently which are called as Differentially Expressing Genes (DEGs). Identifying these most significant genes is a crucial task in molecular biology and is a major area of research for bioinformaticians because DEGs are the major source of disease prediction. They help in planning therapeutic strategies for a disease through Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) constructed from them. GRN is a graphical representation containing genes as nodes and regulatory interactions among them as edges. GRN helps to know change over occurred among genes which involved in cause of genetic diseases as well as to analyze their response to different stress conditions through microarray expressions. In this paper we have discussed many methods proposed by researchers for identifying differentially expressing genes based upon changes in their expressions patterns.
Microarray technology monitors abundant amount of gene data in terms of gene expressions. Gene expressions are stored in terms of two dimensional matrix of size n X m where n indicates no of genes and m indicates no of samples. Since gene expressions are stochastic in nature it is necessary to observe changes in them over time. Understanding these changes and obtaining useful information from them is a major challenge in bioinformatics. Single gene chip contains of thousands of gene expressions. Before doing any downstream analysis like clustering or modeling of GRN on gene expressions, it is necessary to identify most significant genes. These genes called marker genes. Sudden changes in their expressions help to understand what goes wrong and where. They also help in classifying different types of tumors and act as starting point for studying certain systems like cell cycle, drug response etc. They also help in identifying abnormalities in biological activities. Thus assist in detection of disease and its diagnosis at early stage.
In this paper we have critically review existing methods used for identification of differentially expressing genes along with their advantages and disadvantages. In this context, it has been found in the literature that, methods which were applied to static data were also extended for time course expressions . However statistical validations of genes were not done as methods were originally designed for static data. Therefore we have classified these methods based on nature of microarray data slides used. Microarray datasets considered in the literature, for experimentation fall into two main categories: Replicated Microarray Dataset (RMD) and Non-Replicated Microarray Dataset (NRMD). Some of the most commonly methods are Fold Change (FC), ANOVA , RM-ANOVA , t-test , SAM , Empirical Bayesian method etc. This review helps researchers to design more general algorithm for identifying DEGs apart from statistical methods.
Microarray technology is a powerful tool which enables researchers to investigate and address issues in molecular biology by analyzing gene expressions of thousands of gene in single reaction and in an efficient manner. A typical microarray chip preparation involves hybridization of an mRNA molecule to DNA template from which it is originated. An array is constructed from many DNA molecules. The amount of mRNA bound to each site on the array indicates the expression levels of various genes.
Before actually going into review of existing methods, first we will see short background of what is replicated time series and static microarray slide. There is a possibility that gene expressions are not consistently captured because of factors like dust and scratches on glass slides, poor illumination. In order to have reliable and invariable gene expressions, experiment is replicated that is same set of experiment is repeated for several times. The author in paper states the importance of replication in misclassification of genes. Replication is not a duplication of experiment. When microarray data from several replications are combined, there is reduction in false positive and false negative rate. Time series microarray captures multiple gene expressions at discrete time points (minutes, hours or days) whereas static microarray slide contains gene expressions for differential conditions only ones. As data is captured for different experimental conditions, it is not possible to have mathematical relationship between conditions. Therefore it is needed to have several replicates for such conditions. In the next section we will have brief review of methods applied on replicated time series data.
is a function which indicates whether gene belongs to direction di. Cd can have three values, 0, 1 and -1. 1 and -1 indicate strong relation between gene and specific condition and 0 indicates non-expressing gene in particular condition . As replication of microarray chip is costly, very few methods exist for finding DEGs.
In paper author has adapted method from text categorization and information retrieval literature for classifying genes into diseased and normal category by identifying their discriminating capability. Author has decided a threshold value t which will classify a gene into one of the classes’ i.e diseased or normal by observing gene expressions in both classes and discriminating V score is calculated as follows. Genes having highest value of V are the most discriminating genes.
Where a,b,c,d are the count of gene expression values of gene g having values greater than equal to or less than equal to threshold t. But some time it is very difficult to identify threshold value t because of stochastic nature of gene expressions. As microarray contains noise and lack of normal pattern of gene expressions, Olga compared three model-free non-parametric methods i.e. t-test, rank-sum test and heuristic method based on high Pearson co-relation coefficient. Out of these three methods Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test performs better than others. But TPR rate depends on noise in the dataset and p-value selected. Another replication-free method is proposed in based on significant temporal variation exhibited by genes in estrous cycle of rat mammary gland. The algorithm is designed in such a way that it will fit data on B-splins curve. But the algorithm is only applicable for time dependent biological processes such as cell cycle, circadian rhythms, development patterns, hormonal fluctuations where gene expressions vary with time. Again the experiment was conducted on simulated data.
As clustering helps in finding biologically co-expressing genes, a method was discussed for non-replicated datasets in based on pareto-optimal clustering using supervised learning in which genes are assigned to a cluster using SVM. But prior to clustering there is need of identification of significant genes which was done manually by observing changes in expressions of genes.
In order to observe the periodic nature in microarray gene expressions, average periodigram is used in . It is tool used in time series analysis for observing peaks in time domain. Upon noticing peaks, their significance is validated using g-test of Fisher followed by calculation of p-value for each test and gene which reject null hypothesis is considered as DEG. But for the application of g-test minimum 40 measurements per gene are desirable and as p-value for each gene is calculated, the method is time consuming.
For biological processes which are periodic in nature, Fast Fourier Transform based method is proposed in whose performance is affected by small time series experiments and missing values.
By observing the behavior of genes in microarray, author Ping Ma in proposed a technique in which the time series gene chip is classified into two classes of genes. Genes which do not interact with time are kept in PDE (Parallel Differentially Expressing) class and those with time interaction are deposited in NPDE (Non-Parallel Differentially Expressing) class. After classification a functional ANOVA mixed-effect model is applied for identifying NPDE genes. For some cases of datasets, the method had identified NPDE genes as PDE. As above methods are examining individual gene, time required for the analysis is more. To overcome this, a new Functional Principal Component (FPC) approach is developed in which observe the temporal trajectories of gene expressions which are modeled using few basic functions which require lesser number of parameters as compared to earlier methods. This method is suffering with increase in false positive rate. Another method based on Fourier transform is proposed in . In this method genes which are not differentially expressed are filtered out on the basis of Fourier coefficients. As number of genes gets reduced model-based clustering is applied on them. But disadvantage of this method is that for each gene it is needed to calculate Fourier coefficient. Another approach is proposed for identifying DEGs in non-replicated time-course data by inculcating FPCA into hypothesis testing framework . Other method includes a geometrical approach for identification of DEGs in which co-relation between genes is considered. It is multivariate approach. It reframes linear classification method to identify DEGs by defining a separate hyper-plane, the orientation of which decides DEGs. Comparative analysis of statistical methods is done in along with various tools and packages used for identifying DEGs mentioned in it. It is observed that none of the statistical method is the best. The choice of method depends on the type of dataset selected for the experimentation. In Fold change method a log ratio of expressions under two conditions is taken. Its drawback is that statistical variance is not considered in . FC method is subject to bias if the data have not been properly normalized. The danger of false positive and false negative is illustrated in by Tanaka after strictly considering only FC. The shortcomings of FC are removed by t-test by considering variance. Two sample t-statistics is calculated as follows.
Where s is sample variance and n1 and n2 are number of observations in each condition. But small sample size is the major obstacle in it. Again it is observed that variance is not same within each group. Therefore Welch proposed t-test for unequal variance by correcting degree of freedom for unequal variance as follows.
Based on the limitation of small sample size, Wilcoxon rank sum test has used as alternative method for testing differential expressions Many of these methods are based on hypothesis testing. Author in paper applied hypothesis test on each gene to determine as to whether it falls under the category of significant or non-significant gene by observing its variance in population average versus time curve. Apart from this Angelini have used Bayesian approach to identify highly expressed genes. Selection of method depends on nature of gene expressions i.e. Static and Dynamic. In static type, gene expressions are measured at single time point for multiple subjects whereas in dynamic type, multiple time points are used for capturing gene expressions.
While searching for the significant genes, it is quite possible that redundant genes get extracted from the dataset. To avoid this PSO based approach is proposed in which will identify non-redundant disease related genes. In this paper, multi-objective function is used which will optimize multiple goals i.e minimization of sensitivity and minimization of specificity. Redundancy is avoided in this approach by selecting the solution which gives mutually maximally dissimilar genes. As size of solution is (n+n*s), where n is number of genes and s is number of samples, time required is more and author has just given 2 or 3 biomarker genes for different cancer related datasets.
As replication of time series microarray expressions is costly and it is not possible to fit irregularly varying gene expressions into predefined models, a general approach is proposed in. It is based on Partial Energy ratio for Microarray (PEM). PEM statistic is incorporated into the permutation based SAM framework for significance analysis. This method suffers with low samples as signal smoothing is not possible for dataset consisting of fewer samples. Again a general method is proposed to overcome the drawback of modeling methods in . This method uses cubic splines which are set of cubic polynomials used for fitting time series and noisy data and each gene is represented by spline but noise which makes the process computationally intensive. A Ranking and Combination based method is described in which rank genes based on feature such as variance, deviation, correlation and probability. After sorting genes rank-wise, combination is done.
Thus we have reviewed many methods for replicated and non-replicated datasets. Following table will show results of those methods in terms of count of significantly identified genes in particular dataset on which that method is applied.
Thus we have reviewed statistical as well as non-statistical methods used for finding DEGs. Identification of differentially expressing genes is the main area of research in Bioinformatics. Though many methods exist in the literature but none of them is the best. Model-based methods are not suitable for any type of datasets because it is not feasible to fit stochastic gene expressions into those models. In these model-based methods computational cost increases as number of genes increases because number of mathematical expressions increases with respect to count of genes. Also many statistical methods are not discussing about missing values before finding DEGs. Curve based methods like b-splines fit individual gene expressions into curve. This results in increasing computation overhead and time requirement.
Many tools have been developed based on statistical methods. These include SAM, ANOVA,t-test etc. Since genes expressions do not have specific pattern, a generalized algorithm is needed which will find significant genes and one has to explore the comparison between statistical and non-statistical method by considering same dataset. Also methods for which same genes are observed as significant will be compared on other factors like time and computational cost.

Huath is the 6th few in the Ogham alphabet, but the first one of the second aicme. It’s tree is the hawthorn.
There are many things we can’t see the outcome of, and yet we are expecting something to happen. Can’t do much about it, or even prepare – how do you prepare for the unknown? You won’t know what it’s like until you get there and experience it first hand. But until then, you just wait. That’s my life right now; I’m expecting my first child, been waiting for almost nine months (yep, not so long now). You hear stories about what it’s like to be a parent and have a baby and you studiously soak up all the theory about the subject, but until it actually happens to you, you don’t know. Life will change drastically, but I don’t know what that change is going to be like. I know it’s going to be tiring and frustrating and yet also “ultimately worth it”, but I have nothing to compare that with, so can’t really prepare myself for the experience. I can but wait, but I can say it’s the most interesting waiting experience I’ve ever had!
Willow is the tree associated with Saille, and as such its symbolism is very watery, since willows are often found growing by rivers and lakes. Their form also evokes a “flowing” sensation, with long, elegant leaves and flexible branches. This also evokes traditional (stereotypical?) ideas of femininity.
This ogham few also expresses for me the essense of aikido. My sensei often says that the best aikido is a woman’s aikido. In general, men are encouraged to be aggressive and competitive, and to some extent dispassionate with other people – martial arts like karate or jujitsu tend to come easier. Aikido is much more of a challenge for a “typical” man, though women have their own challenges in aikido, perhaps relating to the more martial aspect of it.
Aikido, a martial art based on peace and harmony, cultivates more “feminine” qualities of gentleness and compassion. Many times I’ve been pracitising a technique and even if technically it is correct, my sensei still corrects how I do it: “Too rigid.” – “You’re using too much force, it wouldn’t work if your opponent were stronger than you.” – “Adam, there’s too much tension and aggression. Relax, breathe.” Not corrections you’d recieve in most forms of karate.
In aikido we are taught to flow, not use force or strength, to work with dynamics and movement, to be “like water”. Aikido still remains a martial discipline – a certain confidence and directness is involved – but it always based on a principle of non-harm and fluidity.
Three hundred years ago John Toland stood on Primrose Hill calling for a gathering of Druids a year and a day hence, to meet on the 22 September 1717 in The Apple Tree Tavern in London, on which day druids from all over the British Isles and also Brittany met together to formally take Druidry out of centuries of hiding. The same meeting from which The Druid Order and the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids draw their origins – or so the story goes.
Historically, there’s little to say this actually happened, but each detail is significant in the history of the Druid Revival – John Toland, Primrose Hill and 1717 are all significant to modern Druidry. The above event represents a synthesis of things that have gone into the DNA of modern druidry.
So here I give my own “Primrose Hill” call to druids all over the world, that a year and a day hence – 22nd Sept 2017, Autumn Equinox – we celebrate three hundred years of the revival of the ancient druid ways! (nothing official, just a recognition of the significance of this date).
Nuin, whose assigned tree is the ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior usually) has historically been placed as the fifth few of the Ogham, as can be seen in most ancient documents, but some have speculated that it was in fact the third few. The first three fews then become BLN, which has been linked to the Celtic sun-god Belenos, which may not be “academically correct”, but at least has interesting symbolism connected to it.
The ash tree is tall, seeing far of lands, other perspectives, allowing us to transcend our limited point of view and expanding it but connecting and communicating with other points of view. For this reason it has been connected to the World Tree (though the yew tree is also a fair candidate). If ever we feel stuck, within a certain situation or even our own psychology, the ash tree may help us break free with its spear-like strength and accuracy (its wood was, in fact, used for spears).
Keys are also significant in connection to ash; the unlock doors, allowing us to access other spaces, so that we can move around. But keys are also the name of the seeds peculiar to the ash. They have little “wings” allowing them to float far away from their parent tree, reaching low to the ground, connecting upper to lower, which then grow into tall trees, connecting lower with upper again. It is a tree for “thinking globally and acting locally”, finding the synthesis between the two perspectives.
Today I present some reflections on the Ogham few luis (pronounced lweesh). It’s assigned tree is the rowan (Sorbus aucuparia).
Protection, magic, enchantment, control of the senses, discernment. These are the associations I have read up on and used in my meditation.
“Control of the senses” brought to mind all the advertisement we see on TV or plastered around our towns and cities. We are “invaded” by it, enchanted by it, controlled by it. There are other things, signals and messages, that come in “under the radar” of our consciousness, not just in advertising, but in our media and everyday relations. We may be completely unconscious of them, take them for granted or simply don’t see them as important, though they affect us more than we think.
The protection of Rowan isn’t passive, like a shield or stone wall, it has to be active and conscious. It’s the protection of discernment, and analysis, remaining aware of what is happening to us, and counteract anything that will influences us in a bad way. In ceremonial magic a circle is often drawn to delineate “inside” and “outside”, keeping malefic powers at bay. We only invite in what we want within the circle and reject anything we don’t want.
Bit by bit, as we become aware of what influences us and how, we integrate their lessons and their enchantments subside. The unconscious is a great aperture through which anything may enter unnoticed. When we become aware of the unconscious and begin to analyse its dynamics and the comings and goings within it, we can begin to control what influences us, not letting our sense become overwhelmed or overridden by undesirable forces.

Scary fake news: "Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index"
Instapundit, liberal dupe. No pleasing some people.
Incredible video from the Mississippi coast.
I know the N&R has sharpened its focus on local news instead of stuff you saw on tv last night or the web this morning, and I understand that the lottery is a big big story...but I was shocked to see the devastation of a sizable swath of the United States played below the lottery coverage on page one of today's paper. Maybe I'm old fashioned to expect such a document of the obvious, but Katrina seems a story beyond the scope of normal news judgment.
JR fends off a tangential critique on the same subject, and notes that other NC papers played the stories in similar fashion.
Guilford GOP chairman Marcus Kindley: "When you have your lunch or dinner today, think for a moment of that mother with a baby in her arms somewhere in Mississippi with no food, no clothes, no bed for her baby. Think and ask yourself....what can I do to help this person. And then thank God for living in America, and for all the gifts you have."
Glenn Reynolds is coordinating (scroll to "update" at bottom) a web-based relief effort for tomorrow.
Glenn Reynolds is tracking flood-relief efforts.
Heroic coverage from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which keeps going despite being flooded out of its offices.
This is when television shows its best -- full screen video, vast resources -- and its worst -- endless repetition and inane commentary.
Tight fists and rich dogs: Doug Clark forgets the old rule about speaking ill of the dead, and a fascinating column results.
Reading between the lines: Andy Burke leaves GSO's economic development team for a job in a tertiary market, and reaction is, um, undismayed. The merger of three local groups seems to have created a squeeze at the top, and Burke's position may not even be filled. Skip Moore is pretty blunt about in the N&R: "I don't think there will be a big hiccup without Andy (Burke) there."
The difference between looting and foraging for survival, in black and white.
Maybe the Voice of God editorial isn't dead...it just needs something worthy of its wrath to be interesting. Today's N&R thunders: "North Carolina residents who want to play the lottery should take what happened Tuesday in Raleigh as a warning: The state will win by any means."
After detailing the sleight-of-hand that got the lottery bill passed, the editorial concludes, "It all adds up to a dishonorable public policy. The state's leaders, starting with the governor, have taken the easy way out. That's the whole idea of the lottery theme...In the final analysis, nothing will be gained, but much will be lost. The first casualty was the state's integrity."
The Paul Hackett effect? Iraq war vet Tim Dunn will challenge shaky-looking incumbent Robin Hayes in NC's 8th Congressional district. Somebody needs to help the guy with his web effort. He'll be on the Brad & Britt show tomorrow morning at 8:10, 101.1 FM.
Looks like North Carolina will have a lottery. It took some maneuvering, to say the least. I thought it would happen much sooner, and although I have decidedly mixed feelings about it, I'll surely play when the pot is big enough.
Audio files of the second round of Truth & Reconciliation hearings.
Also, a summary of statements by prosecutors who did not speak in public.
Jesse Helms says something nice about the News & Record.
I'm writing a 3,000 word article. I've got the first two paragraphs written, which in my own Rube Goldberg writing methodology means I'm about half done.
UPDATE: All the details here.
I saw the headline and lede of the Times article, reaffirmed that my personal catalog of neuroses and projections does not include this particular set of of problems, assured my wife of same when she read the article...but apparently a lot of men are kind of freaked out by watching their wives give birth, to the point of diminished attraction to their mates, and a lot of other people judge them harshly for that. It does seem like a bit of a madonna/whore complex is at work, or at least a lack of understanding that we are animals and some of our body parts are multi-purpose tools, but there you go, people are freaks and this is less freaky than a lot of stuff I hear.
I was happy to be there for the birth of our children, both of them, although if there had been a third one I might have stayed home in bed. Just kidding, darling, the miracle of life never grows old, although the wonder of having my hand crushed by yours during each contraction while I was craning my neck to watch Conan on the hospital-room TV did pall after a few hours...I could have skipped the part where they ask the dad to cut the umbilical cord, it did not add symbolic beauty to the occasion for me. Still, it's a surprising, messy, elemental, exciting experience, and the dads really are not asked to do the heavy lifting, so I think those poor saps in the Times (like so many people one reads about in the Times) should find something else to worry about.
UPDATE: Related, from my Mother's Day column: "Hot moms are very big these days. You've got your 'Desperate Housewives,' that whole Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher thing, and of course the song about Stacy's mom by Fountains of Wayne, complete with Rachel Hunter in a video homage to the climactic scene of 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High.' Do not discuss any of this with your own mom at brunch."
Jim Schlosser is blogging about the city he knows so well.
Good music on tap at a fundraiser for the T&R commission, Thursday night at 7, New Garden Friends Meeting, near Guilford College.
Three Chords and the Truth features performances by Si Kahn, Laurelyn Dossett of Polecat Creek, Riley Baugus, Scott Pryor and poet Amaris Howard of the Collective.

A veteran of televised hurricane reporting, Lenslinger shares his hard-won wisdom with other pros.
I'm guessing the promotions department made you wear that aqua green rain slicker with the oversized logos, but I gotta tell ya, it just ain't working. How about an outfit that better represents the average tourist -- say a pair of Birkenstocks, bright orange Speedos and a too-tight Nascar t-shirt. For the ladies, maybe a confederate flag bikini and cigarette holder?

A wise, sad, and hopeful comment about the Truth & Reconciliation process by John Young. Thanks, John.
I think the creation of thorough and fair oral and written history of that time is valuable in and of itself.
I think a better understanding of Greensboro's ownership of much of this drama -- from the role of our police to the damage inflicted on and remembered by our neighborhoods -- is valuable.
I think a better understanding of the depth of government involvement and police failure, even if it falls short of conspiracy, is a valuable lesson worth remembering today.
I think a final accounting of the very thing the CWP survivors have tried to whitewash, that is, the responsibility they bear for their rhetoric and actions, will bring some closure to this whole thing.
I think anything that puts in front of fat happy Americans the economic and social circumstances that lead people to the extremes of the CWP and the KKK is useful.
I hope that a fuller admission that the cops failed that day -- again, in ways that don't have involve conspiracy, but just a basic understanding that the peace was not kept -- may provide context so that the lingering distrust of law enforcement in the black community can be addressed.
I've said all along that reconciliation is to me the most important thing. Look at the 6-3 council vote, and the recriminations and accusations that fly around this project. Maybe writing a meaningful history will bring some of that to an end. I think the conversations online are already a step in that directon.
Justin Catanoso writes a column about Greensboro's creative bloom without mentioning the words "blog," "Converge," or "News & Record." It's a story about creativity from the top down, Richard Florida, Action Greensboro, etc, which is all fine and real, but it feels weirdly incomplete. The single reference to the Internet is made re wi-fi in the the downtown park (by the way, the Biltmore hotel just added wi-fi to better accomodate the panelists and session leaders who will stay there).
Iraq reconsidered by Cunning Realist: "Where Do We Go From Here?"
That's the crux of my criticism of this administration. The ones who got us here are mostly still running the joint, some have actually been promoted, the ones who were proven right were fired early on, and the few who left did so with medals on their chests. That gives me zero confidence in the ability of this bunch to pull off Iraq, Iran, or anything more challenging than organizing the White House's annual Easter egg hunt. And if its continued unforgivable reliance on mantras, platitudes and bromides is any indication, our political leadership has about the same level of confidence in its own ideas and abilities that I do.
Links to blogs and other sites covering Hurricane Katrina.
NOLA.com is a good central resource.
Googling is healthy and natural. We all do it, sometimes several times a day. We Google ourselves and our friends and rivals and exes. But Googling the boss of Google, Eric Schmidt, is a good way to get Google mad at you.
Here's the offending article from CNET.
Bonus, via Dave: Scoble goes to Google.
John Robinson: "The world of journalism has changed, and I'm amazed that more reporters haven't realized it."
Eric Muller poses a question to Tim Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name, and Tyson responds. The most interesting debate of the week in North Carolina is happening ona Chapel Hill weblog.
Have you noticed that the death rate in Greensboro has declined? People are still shuffling off this mortal coil, but judging by the N&R obits the survivors don't want to talk about it. "Passed away" has long been a popular euphemism, and I've noticed that "passed" is increasingly deployed by people who don't want to say "died" (but don't mind making the deceased sound like kidney stones)... but lately it seems that the number of obits saying "gone to be with his Heavenly Father" or "called home" and the like is on a sharp upswing.
I know we live in an era of public displays of faith, but if you didn't have to die to get to heaven then the line outside the gates would be a lot longer.
And we who mourn thee with it glide.
What happens after that is a matter of some dispute. But die we do.
Troublemaker nails something important in his recap of the T&R hearings -- the laughable logic that two shots fired in the air from the head of the Klan karavan could be construed as "non-hostile" fire. Troublemaker quotes GPD officer Mike Toomes on the subject, and Lewis Pitts made the same point with biting humor in his presentation yesterday. It's hard to imagine that anyone caught up in a melee would know to interpret those shots in the air as "non-hostile."
Pitts also disputed the FBI's accoustic analysis of the gunfire, and I don't know how reliable it truly was...but when I asked Nelson Johnson if both side were armed with shotguns, he did not argue the point.
Allen Johnson thinks the ACC should pony up some dough for the proposed Hall of Champions in GSO. Maybe so, although I'm not sure of the league's financial structure. Perhaps the ACC schools themselves, flush with TV cash, should kick in some money. What's for damn sure -- the make or break in this deal -- is that the ACC's corporate sponsors should be backing this thing.
I wrote this before plans for the project were even announced: "Jefferson-Pilot, a local company with significant broadcasting and advertising ties to the league ... can provide funds for the project and influence with the ACC. This is JP's chance to ... provid(e) critical corporate leadership for its hometown -- while leveraging its own well-established marketing strategy."
And two years later, with plans on the board: "JP has been sponsoring the ACC for decades -- those of us of a certain age can pause here to sing the 'Sail with the Pilot' jingle from the old commercials -- and its television unit is a major channel for the league's lucrative sports programming. It's a natural fit. If JP isn't interested, this project may be in trouble before it really starts. I would also include North Carolina's big banks and the various fast-food and beverage companies that stop play after every four minutes of basketball to peddle their wares. And I might add Nike, since it is willing to pay millions to plaster that swoosh on anything related to sports."
Sally Greene celebrates the 85th anniversay of the 19th Amendment.
Didn't The New Yorker used to be famous for its fact-checking?
I went back to my copy of Michele Cone's book, Artists under Vichy, and I have to say that The New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl seems mighty flippant in his characterization of Michele's argument about Matisse's war-time views, and that Matisse biographer Hilary Spurling could use a new dictionary that better defines the word "allegation."
Daniel Dennett in the NYT: "Is 'intelligent design' a legitimate school of scientific thought? Is there something to it, or have these people been taken in by one of the most ingenious hoaxes in the history of science? Wouldn't such a hoax be impossible? No. Here's how it has been done..."
As noted a few weeks ago, my grandfather's family loved to gamble...Today the N&R's Jack Scism includes in his compulsively readable (and sadly unposted) "Remember When" column this clip from the Greensboro Patriot of August 28-Sept. 3, 1905: "Four prominent Greensboro businessmen -- Julius and S.N. Cone, S.J. Kaufman and W.S. Diffee -- posted bonds of $100 each for their appearance in Superior Court to answer to a charge of gambling."
That's the same Uncle Julius from whom my granddad won the silver candlesticks I mentioned...and S.N. Cone was the Solomon cited in the post, the biggest gambler of them all -- within a few years of that Patriot article, Sol lost a corner on the cotton market, shot himself in the head (the friendly local press reported, "Mr. Cone injured in gun-cleaning accident") and lived in good health for another couple of decades with a bullet in the back of his skull.
Things sure are dull around this family these days.
On the NYT op-ed pages, the David Brooks laments the way we are misfighting the war in Iraq: "There is no clear strategy. There are no clear metrics."
He points to this article in Foreign Affairs by Andrew F. Krepinevich, Jr., a retired US Army lieutenant colonel and author of an important book on Vietnam. Krepinevich begins: "Despite the Bush administration's repeated declarations of its commitment to success in Iraq, the results of current policy there are not encouraging. After two years, Washington has made little progress in defeating the insurgency or providing security for Iraqis, even as it has overextended the U.S. Army and eroded support for the war among the American public. Although withdrawing now would be a mistake, simply 'staying the course,' by all current indications, will not improve matters either. Winning in Iraq will require a new approach."
Back to Brooks: "If President Bush is going to rebuild support for the war, he's going to have to explain specifically how it can be won, and for that he needs a strategy.
"It's not hard to find. It's right there in Andy Krepinevich's essay, and in the annals of history."
Meanwhile, on the opposite page, Frank Rich makes a point I tried to make last week: "It's Casey Sheehan's mother, not those haggling in Baghdad's Green Zone, who really changed the landscape in the war this month. Not because of her bumper-sticker politics or the slick left-wing political operatives who have turned her into a circus, but because the original, stubborn fact of her grief brought back the dead the administration had tried for so long to lock out of sight."
"...The Democrats are hoping that if they do nothing, they might inherit the earth as the Bush administration goes down the tubes. Whatever the dubious merits of this Kerryesque course as a political strategy, as a moral strategy it's unpatriotic."
--The least likely outcome of this process, should the report have any relationship to the facts presented in public, is the one that many opponents have yelled loudest about from the beginning: the whitewashing of the CWP's role in that bloody day. The evidence is clear and overwhelming that the organizers of the march helped set the stage for what happened.
--A big part of this story is that the police failed to do their job of keeping the peace. The peace was shattered. There does not need to have been a conspiracy for this to be true and damning. It does not matter what Nelson Johnson did or did not tell them about staying away. Along with the truth about the lasting impact on Greensboro neighborhoods, this should be one of the key takeaways from this process.
-- Bob Cahoon is a southern lawyer right out of central casting, playing that accent so strong that the transcription on the overhead screen repeatedly read "Walla" instead of "Waller." But just like in the movies, he'll eat you alive if you misunderestimate him.
--Percy Wall said the state's decision to go with first-degree murder charges against the Klansmen and Nazis contributed to having an all-white jury: it was hard to find black jurors who could say they supported the death penalty. I've always wondered if premeditated murder was provable in a case like this.
--Lewis Pitts is a brilliant lawyer, too. His documented account of the FBI, ATF, and GPD knowledge of Klan and Nazi activity was chilling, if not conclusive of active conspiracy by law enforcement in the events of November 3, 1979.
More here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Chewie went to the Truth & Rec hearings, and urges you to go today: "It was a wonderful, interesting, emotional, exhausting day of testimony, and my brain hurts, in a good way." She is not a fan of the media coverage.
N&R coverage of the Truth & Rec hearings yesterday, including testimony from GPD officer Rick Ball.
One of the things this process has brought to wider public attention -- one of the benefits that might be acknowledged by its many critics who say this had nothing to do with Greensboro -- is the trauma that 11/3/79 inflicted on the residents of Morningside Homes.
I just got an email saying the paper reflects the views of the "white establishment." I have a couple of problems with that. One is the implication that the survivors speak for all non-whites. The other is news value: we know that Nelson Johnson believes it was a police conspiracy, that's much-reported; news is what you haven't heard, and we haven't heard from the cops since the '80s.
The new media foodchain...sometimes starts with the old media. Ann Coulter made a stupid statement in a recent column: New Yorkers would likely surrender in the face of terrorism. Never mind that New Yorkers have already shown themselves to be stalwart in the face of terrorism, Coulter had a political point to make. Nobody seemed to notice this gem, and I would have missed it but for a lack of reading material at lunch last week...I blogged it, Atrios picked it up, and suddenly it's being thrown back in Coulter's face on TV...Blogs as media watchdogs -- glad we're having a session on that at Converge. (Thanks to C&L for the tip).
The ConvergeSouth journalism conference is six weeks from today. The blog conference is six weeks from tomorrow. Registration is free, fast, and online. It's going to fill up fast, so you might want to lock down a space now.
Writing in The New Yorker about Hilary Spurling's biography of Matisse, Peter Schjeldahl supports Spurling's contention that my Aunt Michele (aka Michele C. Cone) was wrong about Matisse's war-time politics, or lack of them. I don't know much about it, but I know better than to argue with my aunt.
Why can't more people discuss the war in Iraq like this? This guy supported the invasion of Iraq, but he's able to talk about the situation on the ground without waving pom-poms and yelling that WE'RE WINNING, no questions asked. His dismantling of the "flypaper" argument is worth reading.
A thoughtful discussion of D.G. Martin's reaction to Blood Done Sign My Name, by Sally Greene and Eric Muller. Greensboro isn' t the only place in NC struggling with its violent past.
Americans spend $5,267 per capita on health care every year, almost two and half times the industrialized worldÃs median of $2,193; the extra spending comes to hundreds of billions of dollars a year. What does that extra spending buy us? Americans have fewer doctors per capita than most Western countries. We go to the doctor less than people in other Western countries. We get admitted to the hospital less frequently than people in other Western countries. We are less satisfied with our health care than our counterparts in other countries. American life expectancy is lower than the Western average. Childhood-immunization rates in the United States are lower than average. Infant-mortality rates are in the nineteenth percentile of industrialized nations. Doctors here perform more high-end medical procedures, such as coronary angioplasties, than in other countries, but most of the wealthier Western countries have more CT scanners than the United States does, and Switzerland, Japan, Austria, and Finland all have more MRI machines per capita. Nor is our system more efficient. The United States spends more than a thousand dollars per capita per year -- or close to four hundred billion dollars -- on health-care-related paperwork and administration, whereas Canada, for example, spends only about three hundred dollars per capita. And, of course, every other country in the industrialized world insures all its citizens; despite those extra hundreds of billions of dollars we spend each year, we leave forty-five million people without any insurance. A country that displays an almost ruthless commitment to efficiency and performance in every aspect of its economy -- a country that switched to Japanese cars the moment they were more reliable, and to Chinese T-shirts the moment they were five cents cheaper -- has loyally stuck with a health-care system that leaves its citizenry pulling out their teeth with pliers.
Gee, maybe it's not all the trial lawyers' fault. Read the whole thing.

I’d forgotten how this feels. The sudden stab of excitement and sorrow behind the eyes; a beloved old song in the mind, a memory of golden dusk, and the trembling train beneath me.
It’s always been this way. Wherever I stray to and long for, whoever I am, I find myself back in Sussex – now able to make the journey alone, fighting the grief-tide of bad memories. But the places you stay in and the places you grow, are known through sleepovers and house parties, the feel of sandstone under the hands and the hot smell of ferns in summer. The snap of blue ice at the riverbank, watching the white water chase itself down to the sea, where raw cliffs are a splinter of rocks and bones at the peak and the fall. The lonesome-cowboy gulls, and pale sheen of an oily sky at the horizon. Pebbles underfoot (hot coals) and tottering iron ladies with mislaid gems in the swirl of the tide.
A patchwork of green and gold, lapping up to the chin of the Downs. Cold green echoes of Lake Rocks and caves, where – perhaps – my sandstone scrawls linger, from another lifetime.
The rose-fire of spring dawn over the town. All those domes and granite slopes. A cat lolling lazy in the rising heat.
The ice-rime steeples and spires, a ragged raven’s wing in the monochrome air. Gravestones like eyes, watching those of us still alive, still waiting.
Names that haunt my memory in station pings and announcements (trips to the City to visit my father when he worked late: gold windows threading a skyline necklace.) Sketchy road signs at the corners of life; all those echoes and soft sounds, with -hurst and -ham and -field; -ridge and -brook. So different from the jagged names of the North, with -tor and -esk and -stone, and no more or less beautiful. Maps of the landscape in etymology.
I belong to both and to neither. Born in the Midlands, alive in Germany and rebuilt in the South, but known in the North by my blood. Abandoned rail lines and quarry pits for a playground, buddleia and butterflies and craggy sheep for friends.
One pill box after another, lining the land against invaders, now welcoming me home as pale ghosts in the night. As kids, we tattooed the walls with paint, put our hands into deep rifts that knew the heavy embrace of guns. Sat on the boxy roof to watch the sun peel down the sky, listening to the wind keen through the door. Nature reclaims us all, in the end.
The night is a blur of orange and black; the train’s dwindling lope is a gnarled route to the station. The woman opposite me has her feet up, one hand curled about a bottle of white, the other twining its fingers through her lovers’ dark hair. They find their faces, silver in the window.
I like late evening journeys. They feel like the less formal after-party.

Free? What is free? Back in the day the slaves never really where free.
You can never trust a white man when you where one a slave. So, Now that Linda is “free”, what will she do in her life to ensure that her freedom stays upon, and that she can check on her kids.
Exactly, Linda was never free, as she thinks she is in freedom, she was not. When she want6s the ride the train, she is unable to ride first class, meaning she may have overcome being a slave, but the freedom part was never established. Ellen was given to Mr.Sands relative, ensuring that she would be given her education, but as you can assume this never happened. Similar, to a child’s custody case, you are granted full custody or partial custody. The relative was granted, “full custody”, of Ellen, and ensured that she would receive her education, and not be treated as a meaningless slave. Though, in most cases the person that it is token from is bad for the child, but in this case, the relative is the master and refuses to treat the child respectfully. The child has no clothes and does not receive the education it was promised.
Many things come upon the ending chapters. Linda believes that she is free, but has to worry of her children and their living conditions, Mr.Sands does not keep his word, and she has to run from Dr.Flint again. As she escapes from Dr.Flint everything comes together. She travels from place to place, so that she stays away from the danger of Dr.Flint. This connects to society today because people are running away trying to avoid the dangers of a bad area or get out of a relationship that is harmful to them.
Linda finally escapes from Dr.Flints misery. In the end he dies, and Mrs. Bruce buy’s Linda free. She does not have to be beaten, raped, abused, and pushed to the inconspicuous limit of whether of not she will be treated equally. She is free, FREE AT LAST, but her children are not living with her. She wishes her children were living with her, and free to explore the world. This is similar to the domestic violence case, the person is finally put in jail, and away from abusing the victim again. Also, it connects to the custody case, where the mother of father who has fought for full custody of themselves or the child, has received it.

30 minutes after Michael Phelps fell to a young South African kid who no one had heard of before, Phelps rebounded after his loss in his baby the 200M Butterfly to become the most decorated Olympic athlete ever by achieving 19 Olympic medals. After receiving gold in the 4×200 meter freestyle relay, Phelps broke the record for an athlete with the most Olympics medals (18) which was held by Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina. He now holds 15 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals. 9 of Phelps gold medals were won by individual events and 8 of them were won at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which I had the pleasure of witnessing.
The coolest part of the night was when I and Al Bello were in the hallway getting our scuba kits ready when we ran into Phelps, gave him a hug and congratulated him on his unbelievable accomplishment. Of course neither of us had a camera or iphone on us! I remember shooting him 14 years ago at the US Nationals in Seattle when he was an ackward 14 year-old kid who won the US title in the 200M Butterfly. You knew he was going to be a stud, but never dreamt he would be the best ever…Congrats to Michael and his accomplishment, unbelievable!!!
LONG DAY…Hit up white water canoe and kayak which was good, but made me a bit late for Swimming Finals which is always stressful. But worked out in end after my initial B finish line position wasn’t accessible the A position gave me some good jube angles and shots which was fine. Thanks to Costas and Aquatics Center crew for accomodating. Sorry to say that todays blog will be a bit short because it’s 4am and got to get some sleep but for now I’ll let these pictures do the talking…nite!!
First night of Swimming Finals at the Pool was without drama as Phelps in a position he is not used to got knocked off the podium in the 400m IM and finished in 4th! Ryan Lochte struck gold in the Men’s 400-meter Individual Medley and utterly defeated Michael Phelps, who did not look like himself. Lochte finished with a time of 4:05.18, which is the second fastest only to Phelps’ world and Olympic record 4:03.84 from Beijing. Excellent performance from Ryan Lochte, and I’m sure Phelps will find his 17th soon, maybe on sunday in the Medley Relay…Great to see the Getty crew of Al Bello, Adam Pretty, and Clive Rose and the rest of the familiar faces I see on the pool deck every four years. I love shooting swimming and it feels great to be at the pool again. Here are some of the photos from today, hope you enjoy and as always your feedback and comments are appreciated!!!

← Houston, We Have A Cowardinals Problem!
I gather from some corners the impression that the problem with Francis’ legitimacy resides in the way Benedict resigned; or rather, following the argument, not resigned. I think this is a false problem.
There can be no doubt that Benedict himself: 1. Wanted another to be selected Pope and 2. Regards him as the guy in charge. Therefore, to claim that Francis is not Pope because of this is like saying that the man did not know what he was doing and we can decide for ourselves what his position is. You can as well maintain that Edward VIII never abdicated because, say, he was threatened with forced removal from office.
Those more in tune with Italian society, however, understand very well what Benedict – who has lived in Italy for many decades now, and knows the ins and outs of our cultural environment – wanted to do: avoid being called a Celestino. Which latter thing is, canonisation or not, an insulting concept many Italians are acquainted with from grade school, courtesy of our greatest poet (who, smartly, never called him by name; but as they say, intelligenti pauca ).
I simply take people at their words, and Benedict has given such support to Francis that there can be no doubt about his intentions.
Also, and perhaps more importantly in this matter, the way of Benedict’s abdication has no bearing on the way Francis behaves. There is no reason to believe that Francis pontificate would have been any different if the Conclave which elected him had been triggered not by Benedict’s resignation, but by his death, on exactly the same day. You would have had the same Cardinals and the same procedure. Conversely, you can rest assured that, had the Conclave resulted in the election of a perfectly orthodox, heroically Catholic Pope, absolutely no one would, now, be questioning his legitimacy.
Francis’ legitimacy problem is not a function of his election. It is a function of his behaviour. He is a legitimately elected Pope who has, through his innumerable heresies and scandals, deserved to be deprived of his office in the way Church tradition and common sense allow: with an imperfect Council triggered by either Bishops or Cardinals declaring the man self-deposed and electing a new one. And all this does not require in the least any questioning of the legitimacy of his election.
Benedict’s supposedly erroneously abdicated papacy is a false problem. The real problem is Francis’ very real scandals. We don’t need Benedict to remedy those; nor, very frankly, would he want to.
Posted on April 13, 2018, in Traditional Catholicism. Bookmark the permalink. 15 Comments.
And what about St. Francis of Assisi’s prediction that God would send us a Destroyer Pope un-canonically elected? What about St. Paul’s correction of St. Peter? Man-made canon law, which didn’t take care in covering our present predicament, is standing in the way. It’s God we should be looking to & there is nothing to suggest that PF was the choice of the Holy Ghost. Everything about him suggests he is an infiltrator planted by the Dark One.
Apart from PBXVI’s actual abandonment, there was electioneering by St. Gallen Mafia, probable coercion within & without the CC on PBXVI which doesn’t appear to have been investigated & also the rules set out by PJPII being disregarded. That’s quite a lot of ???s to be truthfully & transparently answered. There is also another two – did PF lose the faith a long time before his election & therefore was ipso facto excommunicated? Should anyone aligned to a political agenda ever be elected Pope?
One must repeat these things again and again, because apparently they do not sink in: if a Pope becomes an atheist he does not lose his office. The coercion is a fantasy of yours, and Benedict said he was not coerced, so you are actually slandering him. The Papacy would be finished if disregard of procedural rules would be enough to make a pope illegitimate. For heaven’s sake, how can you not see this? This kind of reasoning undermines the papacy.
Edward VIII removed himself to France. He did not remain in Windsor castle. He went into exile.
His royal titles were replaced with mere nobility (Duke for him and Duchess for her).
His birthright inheritance removed and replaced by a modest pension.
Participation in the royal family and functions, strictly prohibited.
He was cut off, forcefully, persistently; persona non grata; shamed; returned to his prior state; isolated and alone.
The difference between Edward and Benedict; between Benedict and any legitimate abdication could not be more stark. There he sits, in the Vatican, His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, exercising his specifically, carefully retained spiritual munus, by word and deed, in a newly shared Fatherhood of the Church.
I believe the newly promulgated, and widely accepted, title Emeritus Pope will be one of the most damaging legacies of this entire sordid affair. All the bitter fruit, imo, starts with that evil grafting.
Different situations will always have different circumstances. It is a fact that Edward did not freely choose to abdicate. He was put in front of the choice between marrying the woman and remaining King. He was also not afraid of being considered a Celestino. Actually, he did not care a damn how he would be considered. He wanted to spend the rest of his life partying with his extremely rich wife and this is what he did. Nor have geographical questions any meaning, and Benedict would have remained the Pontiff Emeritus even if he had returned to Bavaria. *Benedict did not want to be seen as a coward*, and this perfectly explains both the choice of the title (unfortunate, I agree with you) and of residence.
Still, neither of us doubts that, were Francis to order Benedict to remove himself to Passau, Benedict would obey the Pope.
I always thought Benedict’s idea of a bifurcated papacy a pretty compelling reason to question the validity of his abdication, but if nobody cares, I guess it doesn’t matter. To me it’s bizarre, and Benedict has given credence to it a few times, that there is an active and a contemplative dual-papacy. It’s nonsense, there’s no precedence for it, so why would he even imagine it could be so? But again, nobody cares so it doesn’t matter. It’s like Hillary Clinton and all her illegal activities. The media ignores it so, it may as well have never happened.
No Cardinals or bishops are going to declare him a heretic. Only God can stop this man and do anything about the fact our church is filled to the top with sodomites and destroyers.
There is a simple explanation for this: vanity. Benedict does not want to be seen as a coward. He does not want to be seen as one who abandoned his post. Celestino went back to be a monk and, whilst he was eventually canonised, the stain of the coward remained on him and, again, is very strong in Italy.
But there is also no precedent for a wannabe schism in which the leader of the schism denies that there is anything wrong going on.
Like many modern theologians, Benedict has left his vanity get the better of him. His desire not to be seen as one who fled from the wolves is, in fact, made more acute by the fact that he was always scared of them. But this is par for the course for a V II theologian. There is no need to elaborate complex theories which he himself vehemently denies.
Personally, I couldn’t care less as to whether or not the election of PF was valid, or invalid, or exactly what Benedict had in mind. It only matters to me that the current occupant of the Vatican is spewing garbage that isn’t even Catholic, and pushing agendas that will make the Church into a kind of faux-Catholic Episcopal Lutheran “feelings” Church… all the while the men who DO know better, allow it.
Sadly, I don’t expect any sudden change in direction. I think the future means even more wimpy piss-poor clergy surrounding even worse popes.. I know this is contrary to promises that hell will not prevail, but I suspect the ONLY reason will be that Christ does return before these guys completely destroy the faith.
oh, we were never promised that we would not have decades of rubbish. It took centuries to eradicate Arianism from the church even after St Athanasius.
I think you’re right. It doesn’t matter why Benedict quit, he quit and that’s that. We’re stuck with the evil clown until he dies or resigns, and he’s never going to resign because he’s having too much fun being the big cheese. That’s his whole Peronista/Marxist shtick. Lord, please take him soon, and may he be in a state of grace when he dies.
I find it incongruous that Catholics wish death upon a Pope. I have, and will continue to make the case that the resignation was no such thing, and thus the subsequent election was invalid; disagree if you wish. But, “Death Be Upon Him”? I don’t get that. If he is Pope, “His Holiness”, that seems highly inappropriate. If he is not Pope, only then we should treat him like the malefactor that he is.
Catholic blogs and commenters feel free to personally pronounce upon all sorts of heresy, promoted as doctrinal by the Pope, the Vatican, the hierarchy. Why such aversion to pronouncing upon the baseline heresy behind it all: the unprecedented, suspect, invalid resignation and subsequent election resulting in two Holy Fathers in a Papacy “newly expanded, forever altered and new”?
You are a victim of your own Papolatry. Catholics have always been authorised, and some theologians said even obliged, to pray for the painless death of a Pope dangerous for the Church. You don’t need to invent fake Popes to preserve a fake premise.
I didn’t invent the two Popes residing within the Vatican walls. No fake premise. There they are. Holy Father 1. And Holy Father Emeritus 2. Never before seen in history. A Papacy “newly expanded, forever altered and new”. They insist on that premise.
Alongside all the heresy you discuss, I don’t understand how this new Pope Emeritus innovation can be ignored. It is clearly an innovation, without support, against Christ, and the precedent of all the evil that has come after.
But there they both sit. Ignored. Accepted. And we will see many more Emeritus Popes. That is a fact. The worst of all the heretical surprises.
The time of death and judgement is up to God. Accepting, or not, an “expanded Papal ministry” is up to us. I don’t. One Pope at a time. Emeritus Bishops, yes. That is an Office. No Emeritus Popes. That is a person. The Rock of Christ.
However, once we accept that Benedict himself states that Francis is in charge this becomes a moot argument. Also, the expanded papacy is Schoenborn’ s attempt to keep influence, I do not remember Benedict ever stating anything else but that Francis, not him, is the one who rules.
Fr. Ratzinger has been telling for us how long that he resigned willingly? As Mr. Skojec and Ms. White said some time ago, we have to take him at his word and believe him when he says such things. To do otherwise would be a falsehood. Thank you, Mundabor, for stating the really hard truth when the rest of us simple men and women want to plug our ears and go la-la-la. Francis is pope. We cannot deny it. Just as we cannot deny that he is a formal heretic and has not lost his office. There is precedence for the heretic as a pope situation.
Re: iranaeuspaganus: Take him at his word, then, and do not call him Fr. Ratzinger.

"From the Texas Revolution, Texas Independence, Republic of Texas, Texas Annexation, Texas Statehood, to Texas Timeline..."
The recorded History of Texas begins with the arrival of the first Spanish conquistadors (conquerors) in the region now known as Texas in 1519, who found the region populated by numerous Native American tribes. Their ancestors had been there for thousands of years. During the period from 1519 to 1848, all or parts of Texas were claimed by six countries: France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America—as well as the Confederate States of America in 1861–65.
The first European base was established in 1680 in El Paso, Texas with the exiled Spaniards and Native Americans from the Isleta Pueblo during the Pueblo Revolt, also known as Popé's Rebellion, from northern New Mexico. In 1682, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle established a French colony, Fort Saint Louis, near Matagorda Bay. The colony was killed off by Native Americans after three years, but Spanish authorities felt pressed to establish settlements to keep their claim to the land. Several missions were established in East Texas; they were abandoned in 1691. Twenty years later, concerned with the French presence in neighboring Louisiana, Spanish authorities again tried to colonize Texas. Over the next 110 years, Spain established numerous villages, presidios, and missions in the province. A small number of Spanish settlers arrived, in addition to missionaries and soldiers. Spain signed agreements with colonizers from the United States. When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, Mexican Texas was part of the new nation. To encourage settlement, Mexican authorities allowed organized immigration from the United States, and by 1834, over 30,000 Anglos lived in Texas, compared to 7,800 Mexicans.
After Santa Anna's dissolution of the Constitution of 1824, issues such as lack of access to courts, the militarization of the region's government (e.g., response to Saltillo-Monclova problem), and self-defense issues resulting in the confrontation in Gonzales, public sentiment in Mexican Texas turned towards revolution. Santa Anna's invasion of the territory after putting down the rebellion in Zacatecas provoked the conflict of 1836. The Texian forces fought and won the Texas Revolution in 1835–36.
Texas became an independent nation, the Republic of Texas. Attracted by the rich lands for cotton plantations and ranching, tens of thousands of immigrants arrived from the U.S. and from Germany as well. In 1845, Texas joined the United States, becoming the 28th state. Texas declared its secession from the United States in 1861 to join the Confederate States of America. Although only a few battles of the American Civil War were fought in Texas, most Texas regiments served in the east and in the Army of Northern Virginia. When the war ended, Texas was under Military Law and subject to Reconstruction.
After Texas's annexation, Mexico broke diplomatic relations with the United States. While the United States claimed that Texas's border stretched to the Rio Grande, Mexico claimed it was the Nueces River. While the former Republic of Texas could not enforce its border claims, the United States had the military strength and the political will to do so. President Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor south to the Rio Grande on January 13, 1846. A few months later Mexican troops routed an American cavalry patrol in the disputed area in the Thornton Affair starting the Mexican American War. The first battles of the war were fought in Texas: the Siege of Fort Texas, Battle of Palo Alto and Battle of Resaca de la Palma. After these decisive victories, the United States invaded Mexican territory ending the fighting in Texas.
After a series of United States victories, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the two-year war. In return, for $18,250,000, Mexico gave the U.S. undisputed control of Texas, ceded the Mexican Cession in 1848, most of which today is called the American Southwest, and Texas's borders were established at the Rio Grande.
The Compromise of 1850 set Texas's boundaries at their present form. U.S. Senator James Pearce of Maryland drafted the final proposal where Texas ceded its claims to land which later became half of present day New Mexico, a third of Colorado, and small portions of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming to the federal government, in return for the assumption of $10 million of the old republic's debt. Post-war Texas grew rapidly as migrants poured into the cotton lands of the state. They also brought or purchased enslaved African Americans, whose numbers tripled in the state from 1850 to 1860, from 58,000 to 182,566.
Texas is the second most populous (after California) and the second largest of the 50 U.S. states (after Alaska) in the United States of America, and the largest state in the 48 contiguous United States. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south and borders the U.S. states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles and a growing population of over 26.4 million residents (July 2013).
One Texas industry that thrived after the Civil War was cattle. Due to its long history as a center of the industry, Texas is associated with the image of the cowboy. The state's economic fortunes changed in the early 20th century, when oil discoveries initiated an economic boom in the state. With strong investments in universities, Texas developed a diversified economy and high tech industry in the mid-20th century. As of 2010 it shares the top of the list of the most Fortune 500 companies with California at 57.
With a growing base of industry, the state leads in many industries, including agriculture, petrochemicals, energy, computers and electronics, aerospace, and biomedical sciences. Texas has led the nation in export revenue since 2002 and has the second-highest gross state product.

This book is part of the O'Reilly series of definitive guides to web authoring, and covers CSS1 with an overview of CSS2. Cascading style sheets are a method of specifying how your HTML document should look - removing the need to put presentational markup within the document itself. For instance instead of using <font> tags to specify the colour of an H1 heading, you use a rule in the syle sheet to specify the colour. This is then applied to every H1 in any document which uses that style sheet, rather than having to specify every one individually. Obviously this makes life easier when changing things!
It starts from basics, assuming you know nothing about cascading style sheets, which was useful for me as I did indeed know nothing about them. The book is very clearly written and not only explains what is supposed to happen but also explains some of the problems in the current (at time of writing) browser implementations. Where possible it gives work arounds for bugs in the different browsers. In the Preface it states that all you need to understand the book is a decent knowledge of HTML 4.0, however my knowledge of HTML was pretty much limited to what I have used in LJ and I only needed to ask a few questions (like "What's a <DIV>?") to understand, everything else could be worked out from context.
It was a well-written book, useful as both a tutorial and a reference.
My only gripe is that it could do with an update regarding the CSS support in more recent browser releases, although the details it includes are a good starting point.
I've never read the book, but I know Eric Meyer's a smart guy who explains himself well... I had several conversations with him on USENET a few years back.
I tend to use the O'Reilly books for reference material and so far have not found a better series.

Suus Hessling made this stop motion video about Alzheimer’s disease for her graduation at the School of Arts in Utrecht, Netherlands.
It’s a really good paper animation, great details on her models. Very appropriate technique and materials selected to tell the story. This makes it so much easier to understand the context in comparison to text.
Marcel Wanders (Boxtel, 1963) is a product/interior designer and art director in the Powerhouse studio in Amsterdam. He became internationally known for its furniture, interiors and original art direction. He is recognized as one of the most distinguished designers working today.
The exhibition ‘Pinned up’ at the Stedelijk Museum presents designs from Wanders’ entire oeuvre, ranging from the late 1980s to the present. I think everybody will enjoy his original designs.
The piece highlights Wanders’ focus on sustainability and joyfulness, creating products, he says, that aim to ‘serve you for the rest of your life’.
There are lots of ways to get a public’s attention. Guerrilla marketing is one fun way of doing this.
In 1984 Jay Conrad Levinson wrote the first book about Guerrilla marketing. The concept of guerrilla marketing was invented as an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. Typically, guerrilla marketing campaigns are unexpected and unconventional, potentially interactive, and consumers are targeted in unexpected places.
Attention from your domestic cat!
Vivienne Westwood brings attention to domestic abuse by turning mannequins in her store into victims.
This brochure was designed and printed using techniques that didn’t require any electricity. It was a campaing of the electricity company EDP Group that tries to bring electricity to isolated communities in regions like the Amazon and Sub-Saharan Africa. In response, the designteam of Leo Burnett Lisboa decided to produce the commissioned brochure without the use of any electricity.
Actually, we are so dependent on industry, economy and technology for even the most basic of our everyday activities but this video shows us how difficult is it to make only a basic brochure without electricity.

The following steps for using an inhaler is the technique for which I apply when I need to use one. I’ve had many compliments from doctors while they watch me use an inhaler. Now, I want to share with you how I use one.
Remove the actual metal cylinder that contains the medicine and make sure the plastic device is clean. If it’s not, run it under hot water and then dry it thoroughly.
Place the metal medicine cylinder back into the plastic device and shake vigorously for a few seconds.
Place your mouth around the mouth-piece completely, making sure there it is air tight.
Tilt head back slightly and breathe all air completely out and hold your breath a couple of seconds.
As you push the canister down within the plastic device, slowly inhale taking in the medicine straight into your lungs. Be careful not to get your tounge in the way.
Hold your breath for the next few seconds to allow enough time for the medicine to enter the blood stream.
Slowly exhale at a steady rate, hold your breath for a few seconds and then exhale.
If you require a two puff dose from your inhaler, wait for a minute before repeating process once more.
If you have problems using the plastic device directly, you can use what is called a SPACER which is a 6 inch plastic tube that is fitted over the mouth piece of the plasitic device. You would then place your mouth around the end and then press down on the canister, allowing the medication to flow into the spacer tube. Then you would inhale the medicine from there afterwards. This is usually beneficial for those who have weak lungs or for children.
I am on two inhalers. I have found myself becoming very upset and angry very quickly. This just isn’t me. My doctor says this is the steroids in the inhalers. Have you had dental issues from your inhaler? I brush each time.
I am on one inhaler called Symbicort. I have sensitive teeth but I didn’t realize that it could be because of the inhaler until now. It’s very good that you take care of your teeth while using a steroid inhaler. If you didn’t rinse out your mouth or brush your teeth (and tongue), you could develop oral thrush or a yeast-like infection. If you only have the problem of sensitive teeth, try getting a toothpaste that helps protect sensitive teeth. I use Colgate Sensitive. It works just fine for me. I don’t know what particular dental problems you are having but if you start seeing white cottage cheese like spots in your mouth, call your doctor. I haven’t ever had this problem. I just rinse my mouth and rub the roof of my mouth with my tongue and spit the water out twice.

On a recent trip to Europe, we visited several old cathedrals, cemeteries, art galleries, museums, and other old buildings. For thousands of years people of different races and nationalities across many countries and continents have been worshipping God as they understood him in ways that seemed right in their culture and held meaning for them.
There is something within each of us that longs to know something greater than ourselves. That longing within is a desire/need/bent to worship.
Long ago, young Josh led his people into the land of inheritance they had been promised long before. When they began to settle in, he challenged those people to not forget the One who had led them during their travels and many conquests. And told them, as well, to choose who they were going to worship.
That’s key in all this worship talk – we get to choose who/what we are going to worship.
How would your relationship with the king change if you discovered that you were actually the long-lost heir to the monarchy? Would that relationship change?
If you suddenly realized that your father was the king, rather than the middle-class man you always thought him to be, after the immediate shock of the discovery I would think you would treat him in more of a royal manner.
An older hymn sung in the church actually centered on this very fact.
Is Paul lying here? I don’t think so.
And if, indeed we are children of the king and heirs to his Kingdom, then perhaps we should begin acting as such.
How does this knowledge change your thinking?
Without becoming obnoxious, how can you begin to live as a child of the king?
You know, worship is such a personal thing – it’s kind of like the way you like your coffee. Way back when I was in the military I took my coffee with lots of cream and sugar. That could have been because I was a heavy smoker at the time and my taste buds were either destroyed or highly coated with nicotine – or something. Now I take my coffee with a splash of cream, cause I’ve learned to enjoy the different & unique flavors of the different roasts and types of beans.
So, to me, worship is kinda the same way. You may be a hands-up-in-the-air worshipper, or you may be a quiet, reserved, hands-to-the-side with just the finger-tips raised sort. Neither is right, neither is wrong.
As long as you’re worshipping – that’s the key.
You know, it’s hard for those on the platform to gauge whether they are connecting with you or not based on your physical movements and appearance. In much the same way, it’s just as difficult for the speaker to know whether or not they are connecting with the audience based solely on the reaction they are getting. If they relied only on audience reaction, they might become stand-up comedians.
I also think of worship “style” in dance terms. Some like ballet, some are full-on, mash pit jumpers. Some like the ballroom moves, some prefer the moves from the 60s, while others prefer the slow dance.
So how do you dance with the One you worship?
First, let me just say, I know that the title is poor grammar. But that’s the topic for another blog post. The question is true just the same.
We used to ask who was in your CD player – now it’s probably more like who’s in your Spotify playlist, Pandora channel or iTunes playlist? And that’s a great conversation to have. We now have access to more music most of the time than in any previous generation.
Music can have a profound impact on the generation that’s tuning in. Just ask those who grew up during World War II and the generation that followed. The music of the 50s, 60s & 70s nearly defined that generation.
In much the same way, Seattle garage music helped define another generation. Will you be defined by what you listen to? OR will your definition be more complicated?
So is your playlist filled with noise or are you actually listening to and responding to what you are allowing to come in through your ears?
So last week we talked about the idea of worship and how it can take many forms – depending on the individual worshiper.
Today let’s explore the object of our worship. What or who is it that we worship?
And once again, the answer to that question can be as varied as there are people who are on this planet. It’s very interesting that certain groups of people would want you to believe that your worship is wrong – either directed at the wrong deity/person/thing or the manner in which you worship is incorrect.
And because of well-meaning people like myself, who are on the inside of organizations like ours, our God gets a black eye often from others who observe and cry “Foul!” when other insiders or possibly even me do or say or write things that those outside the organization consider offensive or that somehow goes against what they believe should be the norms for those of us on the inside.
So let me pose the question in a slightly different way – do you worship at all? Then, I guess, we’d have to come to an agreement on the definition of worship.
So allow me to ask it another way – on what are you spending your time, talent and treasure? That will help you understand if you are indeed a worshipper or not.
When was the last time you thought about your breathing?
If you are alive and breathing, the writer admonishes you to praise the Creator who gives you that very ability to breathe in the first place.
So take a moment today, as you‘re running around doing all that you have to do, and consider your breath. And then thank the One who created you to be a breathing being. You may not be able to breathe today as well as you once did, but as long as you are breathing you can praise the Creator.
Recently the desert South West here in the states has received more than normal rainfall. Some cities, like Phoenix, have actually experienced flooding. Unusual for the desert to be sure.
It’s very interesting that those who live in the deserts spend much of their time crying out for rain or water in any form. And then when the heavens open up and the rains actually come, we shift our cries to complaints about so much water.
So if we find ourselves in the desert, he is there. If we’re experiencing rainstorms, he is there. If we go to the mountains, he is there. If we go through low valleys, he is there as well.
I need to be reminded of that from time to time. Wherever we go, whatever we are facing, he is right there with us each and every step of the way.
Does that change your plans for the day?

Durkin Explains the Artwork behind SteelTown for Mary….
When creating the front cover for SteelTown For Mary, it was important to me that the Hamilton landscape be there. Each time my wife and I come into the city we take the SkyWay Bridge. You can see the escarpment and you can see the steel industry puffing away, usually with big ships in the water and the fire stacks burning strong. To me, it signifies jobs. To others, it means dirt and grime. For those who only see the dirt and grime, I say – their loss.
I love coming into Hamilton via the Sky Way Bridge. The big Canadian flag is painted on the lift bridge directly beside the Sky Way, and the Ontario waters are always beautiful – sometimes calm, at other times, almost an angry ocean. In the past 15 years I’ve travelled over that bridge more times than I can count. Yet each time it holds something special for me. It’s as important to me as coming up the last mile to my parents home in Read Ontario, or coming up that last bit of stretch of Green street in Stirling to my grandparents. It grabs me much in the same way as coming down the lane way to the old family barn, knowing I’m about to saddle up the horses for a cross country ride.
The first time I crossed the bridge, my wife -still my girlfriend at the time- wanted me to see the water, she wanted me to look down and see the general direction to Hutch’s, telling me that’s where we had to go for supper, telling me we had to sit out on the beach after dark. I also remember crossing that bridge just before it was shut down due to high winds, driving my father in laws truck with trailer in tow, leaving a job site and doing about 120 km’s (the bridge is a max of 90 on a good day) simply because the Leafs were playing the Senators in the playoffs and he couldn’t miss the first period, and I couldn’t afford to lose track of him in the lead truck, because I didn’t know the roads well enough yet to find home on my own.
When my wife started the design of the book, she knew how important it was to me, that the front cover reflect what our eyes always see when coming into town. What we were having a hard time with, was connecting the city to the book itself visually.
My Grandmother, Mary Doran – was a prolific artist. Well known for her paintings, I grew up seeing her work in other people’s homes, churches, libraries etc. Quite often on visits to her place in Stirling, we would see her latest project on the easel and find out who she was painting it for. But as a kid, that’s about all I really knew about her talent. I had no idea of its origins, and depth. I knew she could paint works comparable to the Original Seven, but at the end of the day, she was my grandmother. It hasn’t been until these past two-year, that my mind has seen her as the artist she truly was, or even considered perhaps, this is where I inherited part of my own talents – via words.
The origins of her talent were found however when my wife and I moved into her home in Stirling after her failing health made it necessary she be looked after in a nursing home. Upon moving into the basement of my grandparents home, my wife and I came upon some very old sketches which had the initials M.D inscribed with the date, 1930. I quickly realized, they were my grandmothers, and in 1930, she would have only been 13. There was a great cache of sketches waiting in the bottom drawer of an old dresser. They were accompanied by letters from American Universities, corresponding with my grandmother at her very young age about submitting various styles of artwork – some of which could challenge Seuss, and strongly encouraging her to enroll. It just so happened, that the 1930’s had other plans for my grandmother, and this particular route in her life didn’t occur.
Skip ahead now to 2012, my hands are shaking, and my eyes are looking at what could connect Hamilton to the main theme of the story. After speaking with my mother, and showing the discovered work to my grandmother, I asked for permission to use one piece for the cover of the book. My grandmother was more than pleased, and I will forever have an artistic, and very personal connection to this book because of her. On both a professional and personal level, it is a real gift to be able to unite on this project and present something to the public that has so many connections to my life. Whether it’s Hamilton, my wife, or my grandmother – this book has become something more than just a work of fiction, it is interwoven with 1,000 personal connections to my own life.
My grandmother has passed on, and unfortunately, she didn’t get to see the final product, but I know she would have been proud. It’s grandson and grandmother, two artists coming together to create something unique for everyone’s enjoyment. The front cover comes alive now through the hard work and production talent of my wife, and through the talent of my grandmother, who enriches the character ‘Mary’ visually within the pages.
It’s funny how things work out, writing this book while living in Hamilton, and naming my character Mary, I had no idea just how much of a connection that name would bring. The journey this book has been on, from mind to paper, and the journey I have been on from fiction to family – seems to be always intersecting. It is my hope that more of these sketches will be used for future publications. They may appear on more SteelTown books, or perhaps with other titles, but whatever the case, I will be forever blessed to know each time I am working with someone who has always been in the background guiding and encouraging me along the way.
By Mary Doran – age 13, 1930.

I just love this author. He says everything is just a way that it speaks directly through the junk and gets right into your heart. He says it in such a way that anyone is able to understand. Great stuff. This devotional was just too good to not share with you all.
Have a blessed holiday weekend and make sure to thank our armed services for all they do for our country.
It’s not every day that you find someone who will give you a second chance–much less someone who will give you a second chance every day.
We went out for Ice Cream one evening and went to the Wabash River to eat it. With all the rain that we’ve had lately, the River was up and out of its banks. E. loves to feed the ducks and geese, unfortunatly we didn’t bring any dried bread to feed them. That didn’t stop them, as soon as the geese and ducks see humans, they came very quickly. They were a little put out though.
Once again, I used the free actions from PioneerWoman’s website.
Okay, let me tell a little story to explain, “the guy”. I am a firm believer in the fact that everyone has a story to tell. A story that makes them the people that they are today. Good and bad things happen to everyone, and it’s those good and bad times and how people respond to them that make them who they are. Anyway, every year as children, my sisters and I would spend a week or two at my Grandma’s house. We used to love it. Unfortunately, as we became teens, Grandma’s house became less exciting. You all know how that goes……….most teens are concerned about their wants and needs versus anyone elses’. At least, I was. As adults, my sisters and I have come to appreciate Grandma, our Aunts and Uncles more and more. When mom died, Grandma and our Aunts were and are our tie to our mom. After our dad died, some really heartbreaking things happened that were just too much for us to handle. So, my sisters and I “ran for the border”. Grandma’s house was a neutral place for us to go and heal our wounds. Her house is still a safe haven where we can go to reconnect with mom and who she was to us.
I also love the picture of E playing in the front porch and the picture of the house is the back side of it. I tonemapped that picture. There will be more pictures of Grandma’s house to come.

Back in the Bayou: the game is afoot!
This is a good gaming week.
Yesterday, I played in Dave Valderhaug’s Forgotten Realms online 5e game: “The Mask That Bleeds“. Fun as always, and with an almost full crew. It’s so cool to play a good ole home brew, no matter what edition number is printed on the books!
And on Sunday, we will run Session 3 of my OpenQuest/Ravenloft game!
Last session was August 24, and after that a lot has happened in real life so I must confess that I have forgotten most of what went down in the adventure, this far. Probably Saturday will be spent re-capping things for myself.
We also lost a player due to life issues. He was to play his first session on Sunday, but backed out.
Anyway, I really look forward to some face-to-face gaming goodness!

Yogis need yoga, teachers need teachers and bloggers… need bloggers!
Here’s one I discovered today & I just love Davidya’s title “In2Deep“. “Basic Skills” is an extended reflection on attention & intention, but what grabbed me was the opening. She spoke to me where I am, reminding her readers that when our influences feel unsupportive, our attention can change our influences and that support is a breath away. Speaking of a seemingly unsupportive “culture,” she says “it’s more a boogy than a monster.” Indeed, our focused awareness contributes to our culture and our support.
And finally, this on HumanKind this morning over our local public radio station, KANW: An interview with Bernard Lown, a Nobel Prize winning doctor speaking out for healing as part of the medical “model”. His voice, stories and wisdom regarding the role of compassion in well-being are deep and touching.
As a teacher I’m equally interested in you and your practice. So I’ve put together this survey.
I’ve been priviledged to get to know some of you through email and your comments. Here’s your opportunity to let me get to know about your practice and your preferences. I’ll be honored by every one of your responses and the information you provide me will assist me with my writing and teaching.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this blog, for your responses and support and for your time attention to this survey. Stay tuned to hear all about the trends!

« Coal in the Alter of God.
Lord Jesus is coming!!! Hello, what is your name, Martha or Mary?!!!
The story of two sisters and Jesus, reveals many spiritual mysteries in the context of exposing the heart of the worshiper before God. In the human perceptive Martha did nothing wrong and she did something right regarding all the preparations in the house for Christ. But in the God’s perspective Mary did something God pleasing by preparing herself for Christ. Let’s have a serious look at it to encourage ourselves to grow mature in Christ from strength to strength and glory to glory.
1: Martha opened her house for the presence of Christ. But Mary opened her life for the Lordship of Christ.
2: Martha’s character reflected her self-dependence with no repentance. But Mary’s humble character reflected her God dependence and His grace abundance.
3: Martha was totally busy and got distracted by the preparations in the house for Christ and failed in preparing herself for Christ the Bread of life. Martha worried more about preparing the earthly nourishment without giving priority for receiving the Heavenly Nourishment through the awesome Guest from Heaven .
When the Lord God visits our house, with reverence and awe, we should first bow down like Abraham worshiping God in his house near the oaks of Mamre [Gen 18.1]. Once Jesus said [Mathew 6.25-26] “Do not worry about what you will eat or drink! Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
But Mary chose the one thing which made her worthy of Christ and no concerns for external preparations disengaged her heart and separated her from Christ. Mary presented her body for the renewal of mind before Christ to please God through consuming the Spiritual Nourishment from the Word of God.
4: Martha communicated her frustration through her rebellious words and actions, but Mary communicated her satisfaction through silence and inaction.
Martha presented her own point views before the Lord of the Heaven and the earth. But Mary denied her own point of views and conceived the point of views from the Heaven on earth.
Once in the Mount of transfiguration, Peter thought of building huts for Christ, Moses and Elijah, but Heaven said, “Listen to Christ”.
5: Martha got rooted in the fault finding spirit and became a prisoner of bitterness. She interrupts the ministry of Christ by exposing her disagreement, anger and anguish instead of reverence and awe to the Lord who came to bless her. We should understand one thing always and remain thankful, God is never our problem, He is the provider and the Father of all comforts.
But Mary got deeply rooted in Christ and was liberated by the Ultimate Liberator; and she stood still without speaking a single word to confront her sister, knowing the Lord God is her Defender.
6: Martha’s self righteous instincts made her question and angrily instruct Christ, what to speak and how to make her sister a slave to her ideology.
A wrong belief system will suppresses the truth and distort the definition of serving God and pleasing Him. If we don’t seek God and renew our mind according to the perfect will of God and focus in doing it, we will manipulate other people’s freedom to make them do our personal agendas to gratify the desires of our flesh. Here we may be deceived by our own selfish motives which contradict the desires of the Holy Spirit!
Remember, Devil once tried to instruct our Lord Jesus, he said “Command to the stones”, and it was only to see the fulfillment of the wicked desires of the Evil one. “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones to become bread” [Mathew 4.3]. Devil is presenting an illegitimate solution for a legitimate need at a time when Jesus is hungry after 40 days of fasting. Devil tried to take control of the will of Christ and failed completely.
But Mary’s self-denial and total focus on God’s will brought her under the yoke of the Lord Jesus and set her free from the yoke of all distractions and unrighteous controls. For the full freedom to do His perfect will, the Lord enabled Mary to pick her own choice between what is man pleasing and what is God pleasing and good!
7: Martha was filled with a spirit of control, but Mary was filled with self control. Martha projected her authority as the boss who controls the house before the Guest of Honor.
At all circumstances we should remember Christ alone is the Lord and we are not. We are called to preach the Word and to speak the Truth in love, we have no authority to control a grown up person’s mind.
8: Martha focused on what pleases herself and Mary focused on what pleases God. Martha’s actions driven by the self will to serve the Lord was found unworthy. But Mary’s obedience to God’s perfect will to stick with Christ was found praiseworthy.
9: Martha found the earthly solutions built on the foundations of sand and it came crumbling down with no favor of God; But Mary found Heavenly solutions built on the Unshakable Rock who has the keys for every single problem.
10: Martha took herself very seriously than Christ and ignored the mind of the Spirit. She followed the mind of the flesh than seeking what pleases God the most.
But Mary took her fellowship with Christ very seriously, than her fellowship with her hard working and busy sister Martha.
11: Martha ignored the glorious Ministry of the Lord Jesus who preached in her house, as if she had to do something more important than that.
But Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and received something which is most important for her whole life and eternity. Mary closed her heart for everything that distracts her from the communion with the Lord. Her heart did not confirm with the ways of the world and she gets transformed by what the Lord speaks.
12: Martha made the choices which were based on her good works for God. But Mary made one choice based on the awesome grace of Christ and stole the heart of the Lord, which no one can steal from her now.
In Song of Solomon 4.9, The King says “You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.” In the innermost being of Mary, Christ became the shining Jewel on her sparkling necklace, which is made out of the precious pearls and diamonds of wisdom from God.
13: What Martha found as a ministry to establish her ideology lost all its glory, because there is no ministry without the Lord’s company, we cannot do anything without Christ.
That’s why Apostles chose those who are filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to even serve food on the tables of the Church. Without the union with Christ, Martha was lonely, distracted, worried and upset regarding all the preparations in the house. Without Christ all our works lose its value, we are unable to do any good and please God. Apostle Paul said, “For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself” [1Cori 11.23]. We can only distribute His goodness after being with Him.
Perhaps Martha could have done all the preparations before the arrival of Jesus, and could have delegated responsibilities to the right people. Then Martha would have been blessed along with Mary in the presence of God.
But Mary found the communion with Christ as the ultimate thing that brings mutual delight to God and His worshiper, more than getting overly busy in the acts of a ministry driven by human insights.

“Author and illustrator Judith Kerr, who escaped Hitler’s Germany as a child and went on to write more than 30 children’s books, has received a lifetime achievement award from the reading charity BookTrust.
“ Is home just a story we tell ourselves? Frances Stonor Saunders follows Homer’s Odysseus, the mythical avatar of all our journeys, as he struggles to get home, and asks how much home we really need.
“Why leave home? With Homer’s The Odyssey as her guide, Frances Stonor Saunders, explores the twists and turns of our bordered lives and our bordered world.
She asks what happens when we decide, or are forced, to leave our home.
“Judith Kerr discusses her novel When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit.
“The children’s author, Judith Kerr, said on our programme on Saturday that the title character of her most famous book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, ‘is just a tiger’, and doesn’t symbolise anything else. She was responding to a suggestion by another famous children’s author, Michael Rosen, who said the tiger represented an underlying threat to her family and linked it to her fear that the Gestapo could arrest her father.

Idyllic sums up the scene at Canteen Pizza. Across the road from my favourite beach in the world, this addition to the Cottesloe strip is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Tonight is Christmas Eve and the Freo Doctor is only lightly wafting through the expansive open windows of this corner block. Transformed into a vibrant restaurant in an enviable position, the lessons learned from Il Lido down the road are everywhere.
There is the excellent translation of beachside casual comfort, a natural link between the feel across the road into the restaurant. You can be quite comfortable in boardies and thongs, but won’t feel out of place in jeans and a shirt too. There is the focus on the product offered, and plenty of well trained staff enjoying being part of something new and a little bit different.
Before sunset it can be very bright in the restaurant, meaning there are lots of people in sunglasses looking like they might just as well be poolside in Italy. Not many meals offer sunset as a complimentary side and we are pleased to accept, along with a couple of pizzas, a baby cos salad, and a few choice summer beverages.
Both the Bufala and Salame pizzas are excellent. That traditional Italian thin crust that wasn’t heard of during my childhood, provides a crisp base that has been pulled from the oven just at the right time, before crispiness turns into charcoal. The San Marzano tomato base is fresh and properly seasoned, and all the various ingredients on both pizzas are classically combined. The only improvement would be a bit more topping near the crust.
The baby cos salad is simply served in collections of full leaves, dressed with vino cotto (sweet and balsamic like) with parmesan scattered in between. To wash it all down I try both the WA brewed Gage Roads Single Fin, and the Victorian craft Stomping Ground Pale Ale from Collingwood, with the latter my preference. Really I should have done the Italian thing with an Aperol Spritz like Catherine did!
As we walk out of Canteen Pizza packing a couple of delicious Sicilian cannoli for later, the night sky is taking over. This is a fabulous addition to the dining scene in Cottesloe, with reasonable prices making it a regular proposition for locals, and large gatherings.
Normally in situations like this I would describe how brilliant each dish tasted, and looked, to begin. This is one time where the level of uninspiring service cannot be tolerated when you are in one of the best restaurants in the country, Wildflower. The reason we want to leave isn’t because of the food, which was outstanding.
The reason is our friendly, but inexperienced, and ill-hired, waitperson, has taken all of ten minutes to correct the bill. It must have been a big problem; now he has then brought it back and I’ve found another mistake. He has disappeared for another ten minutes in a restaurant with two tables left. When he comes back he comps our tea and coffee due to the second mistake, which is a nice touch so I still leave a small tip hoping it gets split amongst the staff (including the kitchen) evenly. We say thank you and begin to leave.
However, the restaurant manager cannot work out how to use our Australian Gourmet Traveller vouchers (not the plastic card, but paper vouchers that we paid hard currency for through my work benefits program), so she asks a bar person to make us complimentary kir royales while we wait. At this stage of proceedings this was not an off-moment; it was a theme.
Mistakes happen. It was the demeanor of the restaurant manager that was the issue, not her ability to try to smooth the matter by providing a drink while we waited, or the fact Mum saw her visit most other tables during our three hour sitting (but not ours or any of the other tables further to the west of the restaurant). And once she rectified the problem and used the vouchers to pay the remaining $550 of our bill, she didn’t come over and apologise and say “it worked now, thank you”. No, I had to come to her fifteen minutes later to see how it was going.
This sounds like a rant, but anyone who has read my reviews more than a few times would realise I value food far more than service, and rarely have significant critiques. There were so many mistakes at this beautiful, expensive restaurant, that it really needs to be discussed. So many that only a list can be used without going to another page.
1. Sher’s water glass had lipstick on it. The sommelier didn’t apologise, left the water glass on the waitstaff table for most of the meal, and didn’t offer a new bottle of sparkling water (since the first glass of the Cape Grim bottle had to be removed).
2. Our waitperson was new to the restaurant (and we think to hospitality, which is not his fault, but is a mistake of the restaurant’s hiring policies). He was very nice and friendly, but just not up to scratch. Simple things that you take for granted in fine dining restaurants (like grabbing the menus as people ordered for example) were not done. Harder aspects were mismanaged as a result.
3. When my Mum asked him what jelly came with our first dish he had to be asked again an hour later, and still didn’t come back immediately to reveal it, but did eventually come back. It was the only ingredient we asked about the entire meal (we were not asking constantly in other words about everything, or being annoying customers in any way).
4. I asked for a 2015 Cape Mentelle Chardonnay and got presented with a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, which was a fine error. But then the sommelier came back with the chardonnary and explained that only 2016 was available (fine again). Then we were charged $10 more for the Curly Flat 2014 Pinot Noir on the bill and it was blamed on the wine list changing (so check your bill). It took ten minutes for the wine list to be checked to confirm it was an error, in an empty restaurant at 4.30pm.
5. Three courses was $88. Because you order dessert after mains, the first two courses were correctly shown as $68 on the bill. However, underneath this item showed “4 @ $20” for dessert, but then had below it “$30… $120”. We were the last to leave the restaurant so it is quite possible that everyone who had the three courses got charged $10 extra per head because the error was automatic.
6. Catherine’s tea cup had pronounced coffee stains on it, which were blamed on “the finely made cups are difficult to clean” which would be fine at a dinner party, but seemed odd at a fine diner.
7. The sommelier seemingly refused to fill our wine glasses after the initial pour. This meant we had to ask our waitperson (the bottle is not on the table), which meant he was a bit torn (knowing he shouldn’t be pouring, but realising it had been forever since sommelier even batted an eyelid at our table).
8. It wasn’t until the end of our meal that we realised the restaurant manager was not the person who greeted us. The restaurant manager was not the person who led us to the table, and the person who greeted us walked to the opposite end of the restaurant at a brisk walk, leaving my aunty Sher and Mum literally 15 metres behind. It didn’t dawn on me until later that it was not the best way to open proceedings, but the issues across the board brought it out.
There’s no justification for these issues in totality. It has simply not happened at a Gourmet Traveller top 100 restaurant that I’ve ever visited. So, besides company, what saved our experience?
The food was inventive, beautifully presented, exquisitely executed, and absolutely delicious. Shark Bay blue swimmer crab is generously served under thinly sliced kohlrabi, in a gazpacho style of native basil dashi, and given zing with finger lime, and mild sweetness with a limey tomato jelly. Sea blite adds bite, and the avocado pairs with the gorgeous texture of the crab, which shows off as the star of the dish against the backdrop of competing, but balanced elements. It is absolutely superb.
Berkshire pork is incredibly tender considering the perfectly executed crackling, that somehow balances its salt content. While a little more jus could have been warranted, the soft sweet white onion, scattering of quandongs, and sides of bitter greens, and Paris style mashed potato, were all excellent.
As if the savoury courses being perfect was not enough, the kitchen’s take on an after-dinner mint includes the best mint gelato imaginable. Sitting next to whipped Bahen & Co chocolate, and atop wattle seed cream, the combination is unashamedly classic, but still innovative, without breaking the modern movement in plating desserts.
Once we eventually received the right bottle of chardonnay, the 2016 Cape Mentelle was outstanding with restrained use of new French oak, and a refined palate. Just as spectacular was the 2014 Curly Flat Pinot Noir; an expression of this variety that seems to find the right part of the spectrum between fruit and game.
Food first. It is the reason I go to restaurants instead of staying at home. But there are natural elements you expect when paying $610 for lunch. I wouldn’t normally mention the amount, but it brings into view the importance of providing service that is fit for the food. I haven’t read other reviews (I rarely do before going to a restaurant to keep my own perspective) but if there are any themes here they need to be rectified quickly at this flagship of Perth restaurants that is thankfully not at the all-too-dominant Crown. Go for the food and all the best with the service. Did I mention the view?
After an unsuccessful attempt by a burger chain, a new Japanese restaurant has taken up residence on Swan Street in a part of the street that has almost completely changed in recent years. The Modern Eatery – House of Aburi Sushi is a sister to two restaurants in Perth, and that foundation might be part of the reason that a few months on it is already more successful than the previous tenant.
The aspects I like about TME speak volumes of what I don’t like in many casual Japanese restaurants and cafes around Australia. Those behind this place have put some thought into the menu, and the fitout. It doesn’t feel cheap, but it is still casual. The space isn’t plain, with some nice high tables to make it feel like a place to eat, and not a takeaway joint or foodhall.
Most importantly, the couple of times I’ve been for lunch I have found some good quality food, that is reasonably priced. The omakase nigiri consists of fresh sashimi, that goes beyond the usual tuna and salmon to include some kingfish and snapper. The rice is good, and the wasabi is about right.
The handmade sushi is well constructed, although the size is a little too large in my opinion. It is a reasonably classic combination (in these parts), with the ingredients all well prepared. The chicken katsu bento is again good value, though the star of the bento is not far above average.
With so many average Japanese outlets across the city and the suburbs, any place that is marginally better will get some attention. The combination of nicely prepared food with some diversity, a comfortable and good looking space to eat, and some friendly service, should see this push from Perth over east see some degree of success.
People eat early in Perth. This means that if you are able to defy the norm, you can easily get into popular restaurants simply by arriving after 8.30pm.
Earlier tonight a couple of mates and I had a few beers and wines at Shadow Wine Bar. The Austrian Veltliner I tried was impeccable, but the initial greeting left much to be desired. That alone left me very open to moving to another venue for dinner, though I must say for the rest of the evening the staff were actually quite good.
No Mafia is only a short walk further down William Street towards the Perth CBD. Having heard great reports about this place I had no hesitation in being guided by Haaron’s suggestion. When we got there it dawned on me that a lot of tables must have finished a good time before we had ordered our last drinks at Shadow.
Continuing on a wine sandwiched with beer theme we began with a terrific bottle of Montepulciano (which incidentally ruined the poor waitperson’s corkscrew), before finishing with a delicious cleansing Bassendean Stout by Nail Brewery. We needed a wine with some versatility and this worked well with a number of the chef’s selected dishes.
The service here is certainly suited to informal dining. We had a waitperson with the right amount of attentiveness and humour, without going too far. She even allowed us to have the $35 chef’s selection even though it is supposed to be for four or more.
We started with some fried baccalau that was excellent and some zucchini fritters that were passable, but I wouldn’t order them again. Then things started to get serious with some Napoli squid, capers, fried leeks, and lemon, which for the most part stayed tender, and had a good flavour profile.
The heavy hitters were my favourite dishes though with the comforting triple cooked potatoes bathed in garlic, chilli & aioli, something to go back for, and the Black-pig prosciutto, red-wine poached pear, ricotta, and almonds, being a dish that was delicate and glorious, even if styled on some classic combinations.
In between the pan-fried gnocchi was well executed with the semi-dried tomato pesto and rocket an aside on how good the gnocchi really was. Finally, the braised lamb leg with baked ricotta, peperonata, and green olives worked classic ingredients in another dish that is spot on.
I know my review sounds like everything was good to very good, but I will say I wasn’t sure about the ordering of the dishes, and also the overall decision on the menu. It felt a little disjointed put together and next time I would order a la carte. In isolation however, almost everything worked, and the menu is more than reasonable being this close to the city. No Mafia provides an interesting modern take on Italian near the arts precinct of Northbridge that is getting better and better.
It is overwhelming walking through the Perth CBD and noticing all the changes in the seven years since I left. Places that had stories I attach to them – some special, some weird, some quite intoxicated. Many of these places have changed in huge ways.
Perth has definitely improved as a city and continues to. Some of the boom might have faded, but the underlying base is enhanced in its wake. There are too many changes to mention, and while it had started before I left, even just walking down King Street there is no longer its namesake cafe, Hudson’s is gone and has been remarkably changed, and there is now a beautiful basement room across the road at 75 that is Varnish on King.
I was told about Varnish a while ago and tonight I get to half cross it off the list. Half because I am dining alone, precluding me from ordering several good looking larger dishes.
First cab off the rank is the Brussel sprouts. They are nicely presented and the combination is great, especially with the maple not dominating and just giving a hint of sweetness. It’s naturally a large serve as this is food to share, but I don’t mind coming back to it while I enjoy the two other dishes I order.
Next comes the cholesterol – a large serve of bone marrow. It is awesomely fatty and luckily there is a bit of balance from the crumb. I’m glad I ordered it, but my next check up will be interesting! Ask me whether I ate all three pieces and I’d have to plead the fifth.
Last I try the jalepinos with black pudding. Each element is excellent and put together this is a fantastic dish. Topped off by the sauce (which can be added to with three different chilli sauces), this is another fun dish that is surprisingly not too hot, though I was warned not to go too close to the stem.
There is a great deal of risk putting out some of these combinations. Each one needs to hit the mark. There would be many punters having a snack with their whiskey, or other beverage of choice, and the likelihood of returning could depend on one dish. Here the skill of the chefs and their technique averts that risk. Each dish was excellent and these are not your usual suspects.
The enthusiasm, and obvious knowledge of my waitperson almost convinces me to order a whiskey, but having walked here on a warm day I go for the tried and tested. A glass of the Vasse Felix Chardonnay followed by the Delinquente Vermentino from the South Australia Riverland shows equal care in the selection of wines. It is nice to have such skilled service. Across the floor and behind the bar the staff are genuinely enjoying themselves and are doing a terrific job.
Walking though the intimidating door, down into the intimate basement was the only time I felt self-aware here. After that, even though I was dining alone, this was a very enjoyable experience from all angles. I’ll be back with a crowd.

To increase the well-being of local communities in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta and its foothills, by developing socio-environmental programs that help satisfy the basic needs of local people, while promoting the sustainable use of natural resources .
We are a team of 2 permanent staff members who work to help create positive change in the Sierra Nevada region through socio-environmental projects.
"It's easy to fall in love with Colombia's Sierra Nevada.
When I first visited Minca in 2010, I discovered a land of beautiful waterfalls, enormous jungle trees, snow-capped peaks and mountainside farms. More than nature, it was the warmth of the people here that drew me in. My understanding of the issues they faced was what led me to stay.
Through educational programs and animal clinics, we started by providing care for our community's pet population. Next, we focused on education as the foundation for a better future. Quickly, we understood that tourism was growing and we turned our attention there to reduce the negative effects created by this industry.
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta has great potential but faces many challenges. It is a region with very low standards of education for children, insufficient opportunities, and high poverty rates.
We are working to fix these issues, one social or environmental project at a time. Yet what drives us most are not the challenges we face but the change we see around us.

Welcome to my wargames blog.
Up until recently the blog was all about solo wargaming, and that was reflected in the blog’s title. In the past few years though I’ve branched out into gaming with friends again, and also spend a fair bit of time playing computer wargames – particularly those developed by Richard Bodley Scott and his team (Pike & Shot, Sengoku Jidai and Field of Glory II).
In addition, I have been lucky enough to find a life-partner with whom to share this wonderful hobby.
I’ve also become interested in hex and grid based games, and plan to incorporate ideas pioneered by Richard Borg and others into my own developing rulesets. This is an ongoing interest which I hope to chart in these pages.
I’m not giving up solo gaming entirely, and will continue to publish articles around that area of interest. But it will no longer be my sole wargaming focus, so it seems appropriate to change the title of my blog accordingly.
Hopefully though I will continue to provide material that some fellow wargamers find worth reading and discussing!
Great start, good luck with it. Like you I solo with DBA and HOTT although I’m more interested in collecting armies than gaming. I have to admit though it’s good to see the little guys in there natural setting – mixing it on a table now and again.
Congratulations for your blog. I really like it! I’m also a solo DBA gamer, and I find your entries well doccumented, helpful and interesting.

Shares of Weight Watchers (NYSE:WTW) finally look to have found their footing after a nasty drop. Weight Watchers stock had fallen nearly 60% this year before rallying yesterday. Certainly some of the selling was warranted given the slowing subscriber growth and increased competition. Now, that selling has come too far, too fast. Time to play for a pop in Weight Watchers.Source: Shutterstock The impetus for the rally yesterday was an encouraging note out of Morgan Stanley. Analyst Vincent Sinisi looks for Weight Watchers to have roughly 4.5 million subscribers in Q1, which is in line with company guidance. Mr. Sinisi views this as a constructive sign. This is in contrast to an earlier second downgrade out of JP Morgan that had torpedoed WTW stock on April 10. WTW Stock ChartsWTW stock is now sporting a P/E under 6, which is by far the lowest valuation over the past 10 years. Other metrics, such as price/sales and price/cash flow, are also at historically cheap levels. Weight Watchers stock is looking comparatively much more attractive at these multiples.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsShares are also looking a lot more compelling from a technical perspective. The 9-day RSI reached oversold levels before strengthening. Bollinger Band Percent B turned negative before heading higher. More importantly, WTW stock finally had a solid up day yesterday after four straight days of lower closes. This often signals that the sellers may have finally become exhausted, especially after such a punishing drop.Implied volatility (IV) is also near the recent highs, trading at the 88th percentile. This usually is a bullish indication that the downside fear has gotten a little overdone. It also means that option prices are comparatively expensive. There has also been a big repeat buyer in the May 20 calls over the past three trading days, with over 20,000 contracts trading versus only 648 open interest before the buying began. * 7 Stocks That Can Outperform for Years Stock traders should look to buy an oversold and underloved WTW stock near current levels. Selling May $20 calls against the position would lower the risk in front of earnings while still leaving upside open.Option traders may want to take advantage of high option prices and sell the May $17.50/$15 put spread for 70 cents credit. Maximum gain is $70 per spread with maximum risk of $180. Return on risk is 38.88%.The short $17.50 strike price provides a 6.2% downside cushion to the $18.66 closing price of WTW stock.Earnings are expected May 2 with consensus of a loss of 27 cents per share.Tim Biggam may hold some of the aforementioned securities in one or more of his newsletters.

"In February, management stated that subscriber growth was sequentially improving from the start of the year, though still trending negative. According to Morgan Stanley's channel checks, Weight Watchers is in line to have 4.5 million subscribers in the first quarter, down 2.5% year over year but in-line with guidance.

The venue is 10 minutes walk from Southampton Central Railway Station with links to and from London Waterloo in approximately 75 minutes. Check schedules and purchase a train ticket in advance here. There is a taxi rank at the station.
The venue is 20 minutes drive from Southampton Airport. Trains run from Southampton Airport Parkway (2 minutes walk from the airport) to Southampton Central which is then a short walk from the hotel. Alternatively taxis can be taken from the station directly to the venue.
From Heathrow airport, one option is to take the direct coach to Southampton (about 1.5 hours). It is advisable to book the coach in advance if possible. Another option is to take the Heathrow Express train to central London, travel by tube to Waterloo, and take the train from Waterloo. Check schedules and purchase a train ticket in advance here.
There are two train options to Southampton from London Gatwick. There is a direct train, which is quite scenic, but it is quite infrequent and slow (2 hours). A more frequent and faster option is to change at Clapham Junction. Check schedules and purchase a train ticket in advance here.

“Clothe yourselves with humility…Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you.
This post is purposefully short.
RESPONSORY: Through all eternity, O Lord, Your promise stands unshaken.
However, these are not the most interesting parallels! There exists others that really can set a mind-a-boggling over the “connectiveness” of the Word of God who became flesh – Jesus.
Genesis has how many days for creation? Seven days, right? Well, check this out! In John’s Gospel he describes four days that conclude with “on the third day” which is actually three days after the fourth day when Jesus calls Philip, cf. Jn 1:43-51 – making it quite literally the Seventh Day, the day that God rested because all of creation was NEW.
DAY 3: Jn 1: 35-42 “[Andrew] brought [Simon Peter] to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, ‘So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas’ ” *from the word for rock in Aramaic and Greek, respectively.
Why is this so important? What’s all the fuss that a wedding should occur SEVEN DAYS after Jesus began gathering His Apostles and His public ministry? Because a MARRIAGE is ALWAYS a NEW BEGINNING, a new creation if you will. Two people, man and woman, are joined together into ONE FLESH making a NEW CREATION (cf. Gen 2:24).
Not only that, Jesus used this NEW BEGINNING to perform His FIRST public miracle, changing water into wine. But not just any wine and not just using any old jugs either! Let me show you what I mean.
Jesus USED THESE JUGS. The same jugs USED TO PURIFY THE GUESTS was now being used to make NEW WINE unlike anything anyone has ever tasted before. This NEW WINE is a symbol of the NEW LIFE Christ intends to bring to His wayward creation. Not only that but this New Adam enlists the assistance of His mother, the New Eve – that is MARY the Mother of God.
Again, this was the beginning of all Jesus would accomplish during His public ministry and concluding with His Passion, death, and Resurrection.
John’s theological picture of Mary fulfills the Old Testament types like ‘Daughter Zion’ (cf. Is 62:5), and accumulated into one picture of the ‘Bride of Christ – the Church – and the ‘Woman’ – the New Eve.
Thus she is also the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy as the, “mother of the Davidic King [Christ], but also the bride of the Son of David” (Barber, 154). Which brings us full circle.
If you go and read the account of Solomon with his mother, Bathsheba, you will come to understand just how revered she was. In fact, in this account – found in 1Kings 2: 13-35 – the reader will discover that those who wanted anything from the king would go to the MOTHER to ask HER to ask for the favor. And why not? She IS seated at his right hand!
So when Jesus tells the mother of James and John, “You do not know what you are asking,” (Mt 20:22), after she requested that one be on His right hand and the other at His left in His kingdom; He wasn’t just saying that without the direct connect to Sacred Tradition.
The Queen ALWAYS SITS at the King’s RIGHT HAND. This spot is reserved for the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of Jesus, that is Mary. And who sits at Jesus’ left?
God the Father is at Jesus’ left and His Mother is at His right. WOW! What a POWERFUL line of INTERCESSION we have!!! We can come to the Mother of the King of Heaven, who will intercede on our behalf with her Son who will in turn bring us DIRECTLY to the Father. Could anything be made more simple?
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you backsliders. Begin to lament, to morn, and to weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into sorrow.
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord and HE WILL RAISE YOU ON HIGH.
Spouse of the Holy Spirit (Lk 1:31, 35), please PRAY FOR US!

Dont cry for me, D.C.
Was Karl Alzner fake crying while staring down the lovely Milan Lucic? Yes. But what he should have been doing is crying over the pathetic state of his own life. Lucic is 23 years old, living in the best city in the world and rocking a Stanley Cup ring like the champ that he is. And what does widdle Alzner have? A sad little team that has never EVER won a Lord Stanley.
Get pumped Karl, Milan is coming for you tonight. And he has a lot more experience with his fists (and, as a result, the penalty box) than you do, sir.

Here’s my guide to Revenge of Toxic Frog (iOS/Universal) or, more accurately, my guide to achieving the highest score possible in that game.
Getting a very high score, reaching and passing the 500,000 milestone (and earning the Arcadelife Cup achievement), relies on one thing: combos. Specifically, it relies on being able to string together a constant sequence of firefly captures without missing any at all and without dying. I’ll tell you how the combo system works, the base scores for each type of firefly and the best levels to exploit for the highest score possible, as well as some tips for staying alive and maximising the combo multiplier in the time available.
The base score is the score you will get for landing on a firefly with the combo multiplier at 1.
The normal firefly has a base score of 100. Each successive normal firefly that you land on – without any hops between fireflies – will increase your combo multiplier by 10. This means that the second firefly that you collect will have a multiplier of x10, giving you 1000 points for that firefly. The next one will have a multiplier of x20 (2000 points) and so on.
An unbroken sequence of normal fireflies will give you a score that increases as follows: 100, 1100, 3100, 6100, 10100, 15100, 21100, 28100, 36100, 45100, etc. The key to really huge scores is building the score multiplier up to over x200.
Green fireflies have a base score of 1000. They also temporarily give your frog the ability to hop to any visible lily-pad on the screen. Green fireflies are a great help with high scores for two reasons: their base score is already 1000 and they will give you the chance to reach a firefly that you would otherwise have been unable to reach, speeding up your combo building. Additionally, they do not break your combo streak when the hopping power-up wears off. They first appear on level 7, which is worth knowing if you plan on incorporating them into your scoring strategy. Note that collecting a green firefly with a score multiplier at x200, for example, will instantly increase your score by 200,000 points.
Purple fireflies have a base score of 1000. They grant your frog temporary immunity from yellow fireflies, enabling you to collect those for a short time, much like the power-pills in Pac-Man. This sounds like a great way to score high, but there is a big catch: When the purple firefly’s immunity wears off, the combo multiplier resets. I always avoid collecting purple fireflies, preferring to wait for them to return to the normal state before grabbing them, unless I encounter one when I have less than 15 seconds remaining and my multiplier is at least x200. Otherwise, you’re throwing your combo multiplier away in exchange for whatever you manage to score while the immunity power-up is active.
Yellow fireflies can only be collected while you have the purple firefly immunity active. The base score (yellow firefly collected while immunity is active and combo multiplier is reset by 1 or more non-scoring hops) is 2000. If you manage to get your multiplier to at least x200, then pick up a purple, then pick up one or more yellow fireflies in sequence before the multiplier resets, you will achieve an impressive score. It isn’t something that you can plan for, but you need to be prepared to go for it on the rare occasion when the situation arises.
Levels with owls – forget it. The owls fly around the screen, killing your frog instantly if they pass over it. This is a hopeless situation if you are camping on a lily-pad waiting for a firefly to float past.
Levels with the Toxic Frog(s) – almost guaranteed rage as they will hop onto your lily-pad and kill your frog when they float within range.
Levels with Tiki bombs. Don’t even bother.
The levels with giant catfish are fine because you’re only ever going to be hopping to lily-pads with fireflies on them. Catfish will never appear on the same lily-pad as a firefly.
Best level for early high-score chasing: level 2. This level is perfect, apart from the relatively short amount of time available. Scoring over 500,000 is possible, it just requires a lot of patience and a purple firefly very near the end of the timer.
Best overall level for high-scores: level 8. Time available: 02:35. There are catfish, but no other hazards apart from the yellow fireflies. There are also green fireflies which can contribute to massive scores. I finally managed to break the million point barrier on level 8.
Level 7 – If you prefer the night levels, 7 is reasonable for high-scoring but you have 10 seconds less than level 8 and the stars seem to take up a lot of the lily-pads.
It’s worth noting that the score multiplier only affects firefly scores. Collecting stars or flowers will always give you the same base score, it will not be multiplied by your combo multiplier.
Now all you have to do is get the game and you can be just as tragically obsessed as I am.
Once again I appear to be really good at a game that hardly anyone else plays. Ninjaboy, Rocket Warrior, Coverfire, the original Toxic Frog and now Revenge of Toxic Frog. After being involved with the game before it was launched and then playing it every day since its release on the app store, I finally broke the million point barrier today.
10 word description: Lily-pad tapping, frog-hopping, high-score chasing amphibious sequel.
10 word review: I loved the original; this beats it in every way.
You will like this if you enjoy: Toxic Frog. Oh, but of course, you never played it because you were all too busy playing some other games that could only dream about being half as much fun as this one. Sorry, but it’s true.
The good news: It’s ****ing brilliant. Presentation, graphics, controls, gameplay, challenge progression, addictive qualities, sound effects – the whole thing is about as close to perfect as you can get. I started figuring out some scoring techniques and I lost a couple of hours. Those were great hours, the kind of hours you recall years later when everything else is just a blur of mediocrity. Oh yes, and it runs fine on older devices, e.g. iPad 1.
The bad news: There’s still a glitch with the ‘best hop count’ display. It’s hilarious because I spotted this when the game was in beta and I was sure it had been fixed. It’s not a problem, the hop count registers correctly on GC, but I found it mildly amusing to see it come back again. Sorry Keith, I had to mention it. There’s nothing else even remotely bad about this game!
Arcadelife verdict: I’ll get the obvious admission out of the way first: I helped test this game, gave the developer a laugh with my insane high-score chasing and now the final version has an achievement that acknowledges this site and my scoring obsession – The Arcadelife Cup – which you get for scoring more than 500,000 points. Now, I’m not just giving this game a glowing review because I was involved with it before it was released, I got involved with it because I fell in love with it as soon as I spent a few minutes on the first beta version I saw. It absolutely deserves a glowing review. It deserves to be bought, played and played some more. I was sent a promo code; I didn’t use it. I bought the game even after spending a lot of time on beta versions because I really, honestly love playing it.
Revenge of Toxic Frog is a great game, truly wonderful. It eases you in with a deceptively simple single-touch tap-to-hop control method but, around the halfway mark, the levels begin to present the kind of challenge that inspires heroes to rise up to defend the planet. Playing the game normally, meeting the objectives of each level, that’s a lot of fun. Applying some creative thinking to the scoring, seeing just how far you can push the combos, the subtle complexity of that is pure genius.
There have been other games that I have found, loved, reviewed highly and have then been generally overlooked by the rest of the world. That’s always a shame, extremely so in this case if that’s the way it turns out. If it’s any additional incentive, nobody is getting anywhere near my Game Center high score and I like how that feels. Go on, buy Revenge of Toxic Frog, bring your adequate gaming skills over to the lily pond and let’s see how good you really are.
Arcadelife’s 500th review was typed on a Das Keyboard Model S mechanical keyboard – check them out, they’re really rather groovy.
Exciting, isn’t it? I bet you can’t wait.
10 word description: Physics skier vs alien robots. Ragdoll crashing is your weapon.
10 word review: An old game I just found – liked enough to review.
The good news: Clean, attractive graphical style. Performs well on older devices (i.e. iPad 1). Controls are good once you figure them out. Very user friendly, with the option to skip a level being offered if you appear to be struggling.
The bad news: The controls, although actually very good, could be a little too complicated for some players. Small number of levels. No Game Center. No sync between devices.
Arcadelife verdict: It’s different enough, polished enough and enjoyable enough … there just isn’t really enough of it. More could have been made of the skier’s ability to dislodge boulders and other objects, which seems like a massively missed opportunity and the number of levels is quite small. Overall, what is there is fun and well worth picking up if you like a bit of stunt skiing mixed with physics based target destruction.
10 word description: Retro platformer. Downward scrolling levels. Traps, obstacles, collectibles, dark humour .
10 word review: Proper game with no IAPS. And it’s very good. Rejoice!
You will like this if you enjoy: Platform games. A darkly amusing story that unfolds via the (rather demented) ramblings scrawled on the wall by your tormentor – a princess who doesn’t need saving.
The good news: Graphics and overall presentation – very nice (it has been ported from a PC game and appear to have retained all of its beauty). A choice of controls – both systems work very well and one option should suit you, depending on your preference. Level design, while not staggeringly original, takes the downward progression and does plenty with it, without it feeling gimmicky or unnecessary. Level ratings (based on number of deaths, cogs collected and time) do not impede progress but also give you a reason to go back and try to improve, if you feel like it. The story unfolds nicely via the wall writing and the humour actually works, which is nice. Plentiful checkpoints.
The bad news: As usual, the experience is slightly less wonderful on the smaller screen (iPhone / iPod Touch), with some of the wall writing being very hard to read. No cloud sync between devices. Also, I would have called the game Go Down For The Princess.
Arcadelife verdict: First of all, this is NOT one of those disposable, generic iOS games where you are constantly falling and you have to avoid hazards and collect items. This is a proper platform game where the general direction of your progression is downwards… and you have to avoid avoid hazards and collect items. It isn’t a native iOS game, it has been ported from the PC/Mac original, and it has all the feel of being a premium touch-screen title without any of the usual downers such as purely existing as an excuse for IAPs. There are no IAPs.
The game is fun, a lot of fun. Deaths can be frequent in certain areas but there always seems to be a checkpoint exactly where you need one and reload/restart times are barely noticeable. Levels are mostly linear, with occasional choices between two routes, advertised as “Easy” or “Hard” by the wall scribblings of your captor, so don’t put too much faith in the accuracy of the warnings. The linearity, while sounding like a bad point, works in the game’s favour as you never get lost or have to waste time trying to figure out where you need to go next.
Overall, this is a great game and I bet you haven’t got it. If you have got it, well done and I hope you’re having lots of fun with it or, if you completed it a couple of months ago, sorry it took me this long to review it.
10 word description: Adventure Time version of Ski Safari. Unlockable zones, outfits, power-ups.
10 word review: So much fun, pretty too! Excellent use of TV tie-in.
You will like this if you enjoy: Endless runners/fliers/skiers etc. Adventure Time. Surreal scenarios. Surfing on a morphing, talking dog.
The good news: Lots of fun. Forgiving gameplay, large cast of bizarre characters, frequently amusing sound effects and quotes. Unlockables are priced quite high but are unessential for progress or to enjoy the game and can realistically be attained just by playing the game – assuming you enjoy it enough to play it quite a lot. Progress (items, score, money, etc.) syncs between devices.
The bad news: Performance is poor on 1st gen ipad, which was not entirely surprising, but still a shame for a 2D runner.
Arcadelife verdict: I’ve watched the TV show quite a lot – because I have a 6 year old son – and it’s one of those, like Johnny Test, that has enough surreal and borderline risque humour and imagery to appeal to an adult, if that adult was raised on a steady diet of video games and cartoons, and has a warped sense of humour to start with. Saying that, this game doesn’t rely on knowledge of the TV show for its entertainment value.
It is a very good endless/distance one-touch game, probably because it is essentially a re-skinned version of a pretty good game. The varied and bizarre characters, attractive backdrops and addictive gameplay work together well. Hurtling down slopes, performing backflips and riding the numerous land and air based creatures and objects is highly entertaining. The only real issue I have is with the high prices of the shop items, which will lead to children (arguably the target audience) wanting things that they can see there but can’t attain very quickly with their game gold. Yes, there are IAPs – of course there are.

SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2016 / A recent New York Post article titled "The marijuana industry has a dirty little secret" highlighted the growing problem of pesticides and other contaminants after a string of recently recalled products that were found to be contaminated. The problem is partially due to the haste of creating capacity following the legalization in Colorado, although the state government does share some of the blame for failing to implement effective regulations when initially setting up the program.
Other states are learning from this mistake and have published pesticide rules, albeit for some after they had already legalized use. Great effort has gone towards the marijuana legalization movement, and the fact that states are willing to admit that improvements are needed shows that people are willing to do what it takes to make the movement succeed in an impartial way just like any other legal, taxed industry.
Oregon for example has approved 250 pesticides that can be used safely in unlimited quantities to address a wide range of potential problems while growing. Among them are Nature's Care Garden Disease Control, a fungicide produced by Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. (NYSE:SMG) and Grandevo PTO, an insecticide manufactured by Marrone Bio Innovation (MBII).
Nevada, as a second example, requires that an independent laboratory perform a series of tests on usable marijuana, including moisture content, potency, terpenes, foreign matter inspection, microbial screening, mytotoxin screening, heavy metal screening, and pesticide residue analysis. Many states consider Nevada's testing requirements to be the gold standard in the industry and are looking to model their own regulations with the same stringency.
This is especially important since the federal government has taken a hands-off approach, as they do have the authority to intervene at any time if the matter was considered a public health issue. The EPA is in charge of the use of pesticides on crops, but as the New York Post article points out, "As of February, no state had submitted a complete application for pesticides to be used to grow marijuana, according to the EPA."
Recently, Cannabis Financial Network interviewed Todd Denkin, President and CEO of DigiPath Inc., who operates a marijuana testing lab Las Vegas, to get his thoughts on the industry. The below video provides some great insights into this troublesome trend and what we can expect going forward.
"Cultivators want to know what the rules are and want to play by the rules," said Todd Denkin, CEO of DigiPath Inc. to the New York Post, describing the industry's take on the problem. "If you can't grow a clean product, you're going to go out of business."
GreenWave Advisors, an independent research and financial analyst firm, believes that the cannabis testing industry could reach $866 million in size by 2020, if federal prohibition on cannabis is lifted. In its report, titled 'Marijuana Lab Testing: An In-Depth Analysis of Investing in One of the Industry's Most Attractive Plays', the firm outlines several reasons why the cannabis testing industry is poised to grow and why it represents a great opportunity for investors.
- Cannabis testing labs appear to be highly scalable with opportunity for significant margin expansion, as other high margin businesses, (data analytics and consulting) contribute more to the mix of revenues. Operating leverage should translate to attractive Free Cash Flow yields abetted by recurring revenue streams.
- With many players currently jockeying for position and new entrants appearing as each state moves forward with legalization, the lab testing market will become increasingly saturated. Profitability and survival will depend upon technical prowess and adequate capitalization.
- The lab businesses that are best positioned to expand market share beyond their initial geographic confines into additional states or regions will provide the most compelling opportunities for investors seeking the prospect of long term growth or other exit strategies such as eventual absorption by established larger cap suitors.
The analyst firm projects revenue of $553 million for lab testing alone if the U.S. legalizes cannabis on a federal level. When adding in related services, such as data analytics and consulting, the revenue potential could surpass $866 million. The data troves collected through the testing process could become an increasingly valuable asset and generate substantial revenue for the most accomplished laboratories. This data could be used to determine specific genetic attributes of targeted cannabinoids and assist with maximizing medicinal benefits.
DigiPath is a premier play in the burgeoning cannabis testing industry with a Las Vegas-based laboratory that's already generating tangible revenue.
Nevada waited 15 years after legalizing medical marijuana to permit sales in dispensaries – which began in July 2016 – as it worked through concerns over pesticides. Currently, the state has some of the strictest testing regulations, with only 22 approved pesticides in low levels. All cannabis must be tested by independent labs before they are approved for sales and the products are destroyed if unapproved pesticides are found on them.
By starting in Nevada, DigiPath has built up an operation that follows the industry's best practices to meet the strictest guidelines in the country. Management plans to expand these operations into other states in the future, while bringing along these best practices to help reassure its customers that the testing results are reliable and valid. The company has also worked alongside regulators to help draft testing requirements across the country.
With upcoming elections in November, Nevada could also legalize recreational marijuana, which could open the door to a significantly larger market given that Las Vegas is among the country's most popular tourist destinations.
Unlike CannaGrow Holdings Inc. (CGRW), which provides consulting services to growers, DigiPath's focus on the cannabis testing industry represents a play on government-mandated revenue that's still tied to the sale of medical and recreational marijuana.
DigiPath is an emerging leader in the cannabis testing industry. According to GreenWave Advisors, this industry could reach over $850 million by 2020, making it an attractive destination for investors interested in the space. The industry's growing problem with pesticides - as highlighted by The New York Post – could mean stricter regulations and that's an area where DigiPath has excelled in the State of Nevada.

Five years have passed since Tony Manero (John Travolta, Grease), “The Fred Astaire of Brooklyn,” conquered the dance floor at the ‘2001 Odyssey’ nightclub. Tony is now among dozens of struggling dancers in Manhattan, New York. Would he ever make it as a professional dancer?
In retrospect, Saturday Night Fever was really a variation of Rocky (Rocky‘s John G. Avildsen was Fever‘s original director), with the disco’s dance floor replacing the boxing ring (both movies are about young Italian-Americans). That’s why, I think, Rocky Balboa himself, Sylvester Stallone, was hired to bring back Tony Manero to the big screen (Travolta allegedly suggested Stallone after seeing one of the Rocky movies).
Stallone co-wrote, co-produced and directed Staying Alive and perhaps he was not the right person for the job after all. The difference between Fever and Staying Alive is the same difference between Rocky and its sequels — honesty was replaced with glitter. This sequel just doesn’t have enough moments of truthfulness to counterbalance its manufactured gloss.
The film’s biggest problem is that the main character isn’t well-drawn so you’re never emotionally invested in him to really care. Without an emotional core, we are left with a series of dance sequences that while well-choreographed, and competently shot by Stallone, they are not all that thrilling to watch. Stallone also fails to capture New York’s unique milieu — I couldn’t help but feel that the film missed an opportunity to explore the dynamics of a very heterogeneous community.
However, despite the film’s many flaws, Staying Alive “stays alive” with the help of Travolta’s endearing personality and The Bee Gees’ fantastic soundtrack. When Travolta is dancing, you suddenly forget about the many things that don’t work. The actor went through a much-publicized physical training and he does look great. The “needd-to-be-seen-to-be-believed” ‘Satan’s Alley’ musical number is strange to say the least, but I’ll admit it’s fun — especially if you love the ’80s — in a sort of campy way.
In addition to Travolta, the cast includes Cynthia Rhodes (Flashdance), Finola Hughes (Above Suspicion), Julie Bovasso (Moonstruck) as Travolta’s mom, and Sly’s kid bother, Frank Stallone (he also wrote a few surprisingly good songs). Patrick Swayze has a bit as a dancer. Swayze and Rhodes would be paired together in the 1987 smash hit Dirty Dancing, which was clearly inspired by Saturday Night Fever.
Staying Alive is often placed among the worst sequels ever made, but it is not nearly as bad is it reputation suggests — I’ve seen worse. It’s just totally unnecessary and pretty mindless. Travolta is good as usual, though. And The Bee Gees’ music is irresistible. Color, 93 minutes, Rated PG.

gideon | Apple pie, anyone?
I do so very much love my children.
I returned home from four days away and found all three of them pressed against the screen door, waiting for me. Rylie pushed the door open and stood on the top step with her arms outstretched and legs wiggling. I think she was humming. It was very sweet.
The other two dropped the heads in defeat and marched back inside.
Now, I had been warned. I knew there had been a major incident that morning involving all three children and a permanent marker. Standing in the Atlanta airport listening to Curt’s brief run-down, I secretly rejoiced. IT IS ABOUT TIME this kind of stuff happened on his watch.
Oh, y’all. I had no idea.
The kitchen table was stacked with toys scarred by a fat, black Sharpie. Trucks and wooden blocks and matchbox cars and magnets. Rylie’s work was clear… her name scrawled across wooden blocks left no room for denial.
Gideon was a little more subtle, though it surely took more work to color entire vehicles. It could have taken weeks to notice the orange and red and blue cars that were now black… but the child forgot to color the BOTTOMS of them. No coat on the undercarriage. Rookie.
Abby’s contributions were the most traditional and the most painful. My beautiful vintage cabinet. Rylie’s door. The wall leading down to the basement, now graced with a single wavering line about 18-inches high.
I took it all in silently.
I turned around and put my hands on the island.
“You are mad?” Gideon asked.
“Take toys away?” Rylie offered.
Their Disney eyes grew wider than usual in silence. And then Gideon dug deep.
While I do not question my son’s potential prophet potential, we are now accepting all forms of ideas for a consequence for the above described childhood vandalism. We’ll deal with the ‘messenger’ situation another time.
I have a question for you, he says, and I cannot help but smile. This boy who mixes tenses and verbs and syntax often sounds like a little man now. I hate it, but I love it.
You wanna pway dis game I did make?
Ok. I have all the stuff. Come outside.
He has 2 wiffle balls, a padded Detroit Tigers bat, medical gloves, and a plastic machine gun lined up on the lawn. I am directed to stand a ways off.
You gonna throw the ball for me, AT me. I gonna hit it. Den, after I hit it I gotta run run run run run run run around back to my gun. And den I haffa shoot the sprocket.
You haffa get the ball a’fore I get to my gun and shoot the sprocket.
Is this like the biathlon we watched? With the skiing and the shooting at the Olympics?
I watch as his face breaks out in unmistakable joy.
YES. ‘Cept us don’t have any skiis. Or snow. Or glasses. Ok? You got it? You ready? I’s gonna hit the ball.
Y’all. I played this game for an hour yesterday and have the bruises to show for it. That kid can turn a wiffle ball in a missile… and don’t worry about his form. He hits just fine. He also runs like he stole somethin’. I just… I’m just so tired.
But I know the time is coming when his speech will even out, when he’ll be able to start his bike on his own, when he won’t ask me to play scary biathlon with him anymore. Right now, I am the starting pitcher on his team and I plan to be at every game.
I’m going to need some body armor.
I’m not sure how much he heard.
I know that his father and I were talking at dinner, for once completely lost in adult conversation and leaving the children to decipher appropriate portions and peace for themselves. I know that this never happens… this us being able to talk without something spilling or someone having a pint-sized crisis. I know that I was fired up.
I was grasping for the logic that Curt relentlessly offers, but there was none this night. We found ourselves surrounded by friends and family in dire straights: deadly illness, crippling spirituality, lack of community, lack of counsel, lack of direction. Where is etiquette manual for being surrounded by marriages falling apart? How do you pray for a family who has lost a child? Is there a right way to love a liar?
And the big question that night… the house of pain: where was the CHURCH? The church whose doors are always open? The church not at conferences but at home behind heavy, solid doors and firm foundations? The pastors who minister to those in need not those in want? The body that stands rooted in faith and united in hope? The choir that sings from above and behind, not in front and under lights? If help cannot be found in the church, my God, where are we supposed to go?
What do you do when the Temple has turned to rubble and the city is deserted? Where are the wise men? Where are the women willing to spill their perfume? Is there no one who can stay awake for simply one hour? We have left Christ standing alone on the water, yet we are surprised to be drowning.
I scraped my plate and refilled my glass.
“Is broke, Mom?” a little voice piped in.
I looked up, surprised to find myself still in a home and surrounded by children.
If I hadn’t been choked by tears, if I hadn’t been swept off my feet, if I didn’t so whole-heartedly believe him, I would have told him a ladder would not do the trick. That it’s not the 4-year-old kind of broken. That it’s deeper than saying you’re sorry.
Thank goodness I had no words.
Yes. You, Child, you must help.
We’ve made such a mess. Let the children come.
Mom. Jesus did walk on the water.
Mom. Jesus did take his friends fishing in the boat.
Jesus did go fishing and the waves did get big big big. The storm came and the boat did tip tip tip tip tip over. And Jesus did tell the storm to BE QUIET!!! And Jesus did get out of the boat and walk home.
And here I thought I’d need to teach you how to be a good friend.
Turns out, I have a few things to learn from you.
You are exhausted and you will not nap. It is quiet in the house and I get you to lie down with me on the bed while I read and Abby naps downstairs. You talk to yourself for a bit and then I feel you put your hand on my shoulder, as if you need to tell me something but don’t want to interrupt me. I look up from my book and you… you are asleep, your hand a tether to me.
And we do not move for two hours.
Mom, Jesus did go away?
RIght now he lives in heaven with God.
Yep. He is coming back.
Him need to get his boat back from his friends?
You are my favorite boy.

Netizens who have made the cardinal error of following me on any social network could be forgiven for imagining me as a dashing speaker, blogger and author.
Snapshots, videos and blog posts would inevitably depict me as a management expert dishing out sage advice with an impish sparkle in the eyes, often misconstrued as indicating supreme intelligence. Seasoned observers would notice a receding hairline and imagine me to be an intellectual cove. Perhaps a head bulging out at the back, much like that of Jeeves, would lead many amongst my followers to conclude that I would have minted millions by this time, squeezing the last penny out of some Bertie-like super rich but mentally negligible bosses I would have assisted in a long career.
A recent trip to New Delhi gave me an opportunity of calling upon His Excellency Joao da Camara, the Ambassador of Portugal in India. He was kind enough to spare some time for me to be able to present my book ‘Como Sobreviver Na Selva Empresarial’ to him.
It happened to be a day when the smog enveloping the capital city of India was at its worst. A brief meeting with an amiable person like His Excellency left one breathing easier. The brief encounter proved to be an uplifting experience. His grace, warmth and hospitality yet again reminded me of the genial and affable disposition of the people of Portugal.
The informal meeting took place in his tastefully done up office. The frankness with which he spoke and the warmth he exuded was typical of the people of character, resource and rich culture he represents.
He spoke warmly of the centuries old connection between Portugal and India. He mentioned families of Indian origin who have made Portugal their home for the past six generations and who make it a point to scout around for Indian brides who would eventually marry the sons in their families.
He mentioned the richness of India’s ancient culture and the diversity of its citizens. He turned out to be a close friend of Ms Clara Nunes dos Santos, a senior diplomat in the Portuguese Government, whom I was fortunate to have met in Oslo a few months back, when she was the Ambassador of Portugal in Norway.
It may be recalled that Bartolomeu Dias, a Portuguese explorer, was the first one to have crossed the ‘Cape of Good Hope’ in the year 1488, opening the sea route to India.
Vasco da Gama, another nobleman from the household of the King of Portugal, finally landed at the port of Calicut on the 27th of May, 1498, heralding an era of European dominance of India.
In 1510, the capital of Estado Portugues da India (Portuguese state of India) was transferred from Cochin to Goa. In the 17th century, Goa became the capital of the vast Portuguese empire which spread from Mozambique to Nagasaki, controlling the entire Indian Ocean trade.
When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, relations between the two countries turned a wee bit sour over Portugal’s refusal to surrender its enclaves of Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Indian military intervened, ending Portuguese rule over these areas in 1961. Eventually, with the signing of a treaty in New Delhi in 1974 with the new democratic Portuguese Government, amicable bilateral relations were restored.
Trade and commerce between the two countries has only looked up thereafter, even though much potential remains to be explored in the future. During the visit of Prime Minister of Portugal His Excellency Antonio da Costa to India during January 2017, as many as six agreements have been signed between the two countries. These also include an agreement on defence cooperation.
One feels happy to have made a very modest contribution towards an exchange of softer management ideas between Portugal and India. The book authored by me first got published in Portugal. The original English version, ‘Surviving in the Corporate Jungle’, followed thereafter.
Recently, while on a trip to Norway, yours truly had the opportunity of calling upon Ms. Clara Nunes dos Santos, the Ambassador of Portugal in Norway.
Despite her busy schedule, she was kind enough to grant an audience to yours truly, who wished to present to her a copy of his book ‘Como Sobreviver Na Selva Empresarial’.
On a day when the skies were a characteristic Norwegian grey, the Embassy of Portugal in Oslo stood out in its dignified glory. Much like the genial and warm people of Portugal, the welcoming interior left one with an inner glow of joy, much akin to a homecoming of sorts.
An informal meeting took place in her exquisitely done up office. She was charm, grace and dignity personified. The frankness with which she spoke and the warmth she exuded was typical of the people of character, resource and rich culture she represents.
She was kind enough to leaf through the book and found that it demystified the art and science of management in a lucid manner. The Portuguese translation came in for some praise. The courtesy extended to an ordinary soul from an emerging economy like India was impeccable.
Ambassadors represent all that their land is and aspires to be. Ms Clara Nunes dos Santos is no exception. Given her keen intelligence, sharp eye, wit and humour, one has no doubt that she handles managerial challenges coming her way with characteristic aplomb.
One wishes her and her country a great innings in the days to come.
Celebrating the first anniversary of having launched a book in Portuguese in March 2016.
English version to follow soon….!

Howard Farrant was a manager of Confederation Life Assurance Company. He lived at 1102 Gilford Street from 1919 to 1938.
Howard was born in Mitchell, Perth County, Ontario, on April 14, 1881. His father was William Farrant 1852 or 1853-after 1915), who was born in Tooting, England. William was a hotel keeper in 1878. In 1906, he was a painter. Howard’s mother was Olga Clara Hahndorf (1857 or 1858 – 1915), who was born in New York State.
After Howard finished school in Mitchell, he went to University College in Toronto, Ontario.
He worked for a time as a reporter for the Philadelphia Record, In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and later worked in Toronto as the managing editor for Hugh C. Maclean Ltd., a trade publishing company.
In 1908, he arrived in Vancouver. By 1910, he was living at 2335 Yew Street, and he was the branch manager of the Island Investment Company.
On February 21, 1911, in Victoria, British Columbia, Howard married Gertrude Evelyn Maud Crook (often called “Evelyn”).
Evelyn was born on February 6, 1883, in Moodyville, British Columbia. Her father was Richard Crook. Her mother was Helena Mary Ann Powley.
After the wedding, Howard and Evelyn went for a month-long trip to California. When they returned, they stayed in Glencoe Lodge.
In 1913 and 1914, Howard was the president and managing director of the Canada West Development Company. In 1913, the Vancouver directory said that he was living at Glencoe Lodge.
From 1914 to1918, he was at 2204 Stephens Street (although the 1914 directory says “2264”).
In 1915 he began his long career with the Confederation Life Association, which lasted until about 1946.
In 1916, his address was “Stanley Court,” at 920 Bidwell Street.
In 1919, he moved to 1102 Gilford Street, where he stayed until 1938.
Howard died in Vancouver on October 17, 1956.
Evelyn died in Vancouver on January 28, 1960.

Located at 1000 Fifth Avenue, The Met is one of the largest art museums in the US and is home to collections of art and history over the 5,000 years. That is quite something, isn’t it? There are three main sites in the city, The Met Fifth Avenue (which I had the pleasure to visit), The Met Breuer and The Met Cloisters. Founded in 1870, The Met is a must-visit spot in the city, not just for kids to gawk at artifacts from the Egyptian Civilisation (my heart jumped with joy) or amble through the plethora of paintings that left me mystified, or even more by the ancient Chinese and Japanese sculpture, paintings, and a thousand different things to beguile me. I was nothing short of mesmerised at this museum.
This year, the key exhibition, among the many on display was the new Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition, ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’ that opened in May. Most of you will remember this thanks to the annual Met Gala which is a fundraising event for the museum, hitting all the main headlines that day. And this year, the dress code was Sunday Best, in line with the launch of this special exhibition.
I did not know what hit me when I walked down those majestic, pristine marble stairs and entered an underground space that sparkled. Since photography was prohibited here, I have no pictorial representation to explain just how the papal robes and vestments glittered and shone under those focus lights.
There is no way I can merely describe how their clothes were stitched with hands of the divine, the textures and variety of materials used, the rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds that adorned them probably gave them a natural halo. Imagine the finest of clothes made of silk and silken thread, gold tinsel and studs, opulent robes befitting the king or queen of England. It was ethereal, and shocking. This exhibition was on loan from the Vatican, I think that would be a correct term, and it gives the world a peek into the plush life they probably lead/led.
I could digress into a monologue on the Catholic Church but that is not what I wish to focus on. I want to focus strictly on these earthly riches. But this is exactly what fashion or art is meant to do; it is meant to get us talking more openly, discussing issues that makes us uncomfortable, and try to draw connections between two not-so-seemingly mutually exclusive aspects.
Catholic icons and symbols have always inspired designers. The collection at ground level showcases the designs by Coco Chanel, Valentino, Versace, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Dior and countless others.
Jean Paul Gaultier (French, born 1952) In this ensemble, ‘Ex-Voto’, Gaultier was inspired by Catholic examples of the practice of placing a votive offering – or ex-voto (from the Latin ex voto suscepto, meaning from the vow made) – in a church or a shrine.
Religion has shaped the world in a remarkable way, be it for good or bad, and fashion through the ages is testament to how much we have been influenced by the Catholic Church and its icons. Be it the silhouettes or the opulent over-the-top adornments, fashion has been heavily inspired by the celestial.

AMES, Iowa -- Spreading rumors, telling mean jokes and shoving are bullying behaviors that might be seen and heard on any school playground. Although bullying is a common part of childhood, it isn’t “normal.” It’s a serious problem that can limit the ability of children, both the bullies and their victims, to progress academically, socially and emotionally says Barbara Dunn Swanson, a human sciences specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
Educators today are more aware of bullying as a problem and have measures in place to help prevent and deal with it. But no matter how good these measures are, parents and other adults can teach children useful strategies to help them cope with bullying behavior, said Dunn Swanson, who specializes in family life issues.
Bullying is any kind of ongoing physical or verbal mistreatment that arises when there is unequal power between two or more people, such as a bigger child and a smaller child, or older children and younger children, Dunn Swanson said.
Bullying can include a wide range of behaviors – physical abuse as well as verbal abuse, such as teasing, humiliating, gossiping and excluding. Both boys and girls can bully or be bullied.
“The Centers for Disease Control calls bullying a form of youth violence. Youth who are bullied are at risk for substance abuse, academic problems, sleep difficulties and mental health issues,” Dunn Swanson said.
Bullying can begin among children in pre-school. Left unaddressed, bullying can escalate to serious levels— with children issuing threats, damaging and destroying property, or pushing, kicking and hitting, Dunn Swanson said.
Victims of bullying may suffer from anxiety, fear and low self-esteem. They may avoid their peers, school and social activities where they may be exposed to teasing or bullying. In some cases, children may drop out of school to avoid being harassed or attacked, Dunn Swanson said.
However, children who exhibit bullying behavior also face negative life outcomes.
“Children who bully may have school attendance and performance problems. They may become aggressive adults and may be more likely to become involved in criminal activities,” Dunn Swanson said.
Help children think of words they can say to themselves when they are being teased or bullied, which can counteract the negative remarks or behaviors. They can remind themselves that their own opinion is more important than the teaser’s opinion.
Encourage children to practice ignoring the person who is teasing them, since reacting with anger or tears may invite more teasing. Parents should monitor the teasing, particularly if it turns into bullying and/or harassment, and be willing to intervene.
Encourage children to ask for help. Asking for help is necessary if the child is having trouble with these simple strategies or if the teasing turns to bullying.
“Children can handle most types of teasing. However, if the teasing is repeated or occurs for a prolonged period of time, it becomes bullying and may call for an intervention by parents, teachers and caregivers. Children need adults who are attentive and able to respond,” Dunn Swanson said.

The Einstein Papers Project is engaged in one of the most ambitious scholarly publishing ventures undertaken in the history of science. The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein provides the first complete picture of Einstein’s massive written legacy. The series now covers Einstein’s life and work up to his 48th birthday. It presents, as annotated full text, 484 writings by Einstein and 3,450 letters written by and to him. An additional 3,441 documents appear in abstract.
Online Archives: You can access the database (http://www.alberteinstein.info/index.html) of 90,000+ records of all known Einstein manuscripts and correspondence and also search the full text of 2,000 digitized items.
A position of Assistant or Associate Editor is open for the Einstein Project at California Institue of Technology. The salary and initial appointment as Assistant Editor or Associate Editor may be made at the research staff, postdoctoral scholar, or research assistant professor level, dependent on the final candidate’s qualifications. Postdoctoral and research assistant professor candidates must have a PhD degree in history or a related field. These are non-tenured, full-time, exempt, positions with benefits, though part-time employment may also be considered for staff positions. Preference would be given to candidates with expertise in the history and/or philosophy of 20th century physics or physical sciences, able to address Einstein’s scientific papers and correspondence for the period 1928-1932. Very good reading knowledge of written German is required. A Ph.D. degree in a pertinent field is strongly desired (history/philosophy of modern physics; physics; modern German history).
Remember, the deal is only good on those two days. If you’re interested in an ebook instead, stay tuned for a sale on December 12.
I composed this short reception/textual history of D&C 132 when my book Textual Studies in the Doctrine and Covenants: The Plural Marriage Revelation. was published. I thought it might be useful for readers here.

Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt (born August 15, 1972) is an American actor, movie director, producer and screenwriter. He became well known in the late 1990s, after acting in the movie Good Will Hunting. He has since become a Hollywood star having acted in several movies.
Affleck began playing the role of Batman in the DC Extended Universe beginning with the 2016 movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He later played Batman again in Suicide Squad and will appear Justice League and in his own solo movie The Batman (2019).
Affleck was born in Berkeley, California and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His mother, Christine Anne "Chris" Affleck (née Boldt), was a school district employee and teacher. His father, Timothy Byers Affleck, has been a drug counselor, social worker, janitor, auto mechanic, bartender, writer, director, and actor with the Theater Company of Boston. Affleck's mother was a freedom rider in the 1960s; until her retirement, she was a public school teacher in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His younger brother is actor Casey Affleck. He has English, Irish, Scottish, German, Swedish, Swiss, Northern Irish (Scots-Irish), Welsh and French ancestry. The surname "Affleck" is of Scottish origin, and his middle name, "Géza", was the name of a family friend. He was raised in a mostly Episcopalian family.

Borre Ludvigsen, the Norwegian webmaster and Renaissance man who grew up in Mieh-Mieh, Lebanon, called me the other day to chat.
I asked what's new on his site, the Levant Cultural Server (Al Mashriq). Borre's been putting up digitized images of ancient Arabic manuscripts as part of the Digital Documentation Center at the American University of Beirut *.
The linked manuscript is a text on the interpretation of dreams, written by Ibrahim bin Yahya bin Gannan al-Maqdisi, probably in Syria or Iraq in the fourteenth century. The Sigmund Freud of the Arab world? Or was Freud the Ibrahim al-Maqdisi of the West? Click on the pages to see more of the manuscript.
The index lists the six books available now for your reading pleasure.
I'm looking for the version online of this islamic manuscript : Arba'un from al-Nawawiya (the Forty Hadith from Nawawi). Can you help me, please ?
Are there any writings about Islam immediately after death of Mohammad, 8th to 12 century AD?

first off – i am not someone who will travel through town for pizza, no matter how great. i like pizza for what it is, but it’s not something i will seek out.
that said, having lived just around the corner from the dolce branch on maaßenstr. this summer, i think I can safely pronounce their pizza as the best berlin has to offer.
mind you, this is not a fancy sit-down place – although there is an area with benches outside generally occupied with a crowd happily munching away – but when evening plans dictate an early, simple, cheap AND tasty dinner, it’s the way to go. one of their rectangular slices is 2 €, and it’s usually enough to prep for any drunken reveries you might have in mind.
the crust, made with imported italian flour, has a nice crunch and chewy bite to it, the sauce is tangy without being over-powering, and the mozzarella cheese actually tastes like cheese. toppings vary from the mundane – sliced fresh mushrooms, salami, or chorizo – to the slightly more extravagant, like anchovis, zucchini and capers, or tuna & scallions.
the pizza funghi happens to be one of my faves, elevated from the ordinary by sprigs of fresh rosemary.
thanks to the place’s massive popularity, the turn-around is quick, and so one often gets the pizza straight from the oven, bubbling with hot, molten, cheesy deliciousness.
there’s olive oil, chili oil, red pepper flakes, and oregano on the counter to “customize” your slice; be careful with the red pepper flakes – they are really spicy, and will turn your lips into a burning ring of fire.
the only thing that really pisses me off about the place is that it closes at 11 p.m., which means no late-night pizza for me. damn you, dolce.
fyi: dolce pizza is not related to the dolce ice-cream place next door, whose owners have been the center of controversy for homophobic comments this summer.

Was können wir nur anstellen, um sie zu erweiterten Öffnungszeiten zu zwingen?
ein eat-in vor der tür? die jungs einsperren bis mindestens 1 uhr morgens? ischweeßetnisch….
I had a slice of arugula and mushroom (w/ham?) here. Wanted to love it, but kept wishing I’d gone next door for pho instead. Any second favorite pizza places in Berlin? Maybe it’s the proximity to Italy, but I remember the pizza in Austria being a bit better.
The Vietnamese place next door isn’t bad, but nothing to write home about. The Thai place across the street is actually pretty good (they make it spicy if you tell them spicy. like, really spicy).
If you like a ‘punk’ atmosphere, check out I Due Forni on Schönhauser Allee. I am aware that they’ve had some hygiene issues, but I still think their pizza is pretty good. Most of the staff is Italian, and they can be anywhere from aloof to aggravating. Interestingly enough, I have never experienced serious issues with the service, but MANY complain about it (check out qype.de for the whining).
Oh yes, I second I Due Forni. I had an excellent boar bolognese there. Tried someone else’s pizza and it was good, but not enough to bring me back. The pasta, however, was. Mmm.
Where do you get good pho? I had some really disappointing pho on Greifswalderstrasse last night. No plate of herbs, no hoisin, only one beef option. Sigh. Is Com Viet at Alex any good?
Hello, it’s a very good article, and good info.

Wanaque Reservoir is a man-made lake located within Wanaque and Ringwood, New Jersey along the Wanaque River. The reservoir came into being in 1928 by the construction of the Raymond Dam along the river in Wanaque. Besides the Wanaque River, the reservoir receives water from two diversions: the Pompton Lakes intake, which takes water from the Ramapo River, and the Two Bridges intake, which takes water from the Pompton River. It is the second largest reservoir in New Jersey by volume, after Round Valley Reservoir.
Construction of the Wanaque Reservoir represented a significant achievement in enabling the supply of potable water to local areas that didn't have safe drinking water sources. The project took quite an extensive time. After eight years of construction, water was delivered to customers for the first time in 1930. Upon completion, the Wanaque Reservoir supplied water to several member municipalities including Bloomfield, Clifton, Glen Ridge, Kearny, Montclair, Newark, Passaic, and Paterson. A major feature that came with the construction of Wanaque Reservoir was the West Brook Road Bridge. The bridge was constructed to carry the re-located West Brook Road across the Wanaque Reservoir. Construction of the West Brook Road Bridge began in 1926 and it was opened to traffic in 1928. The bridge was to be rebuilt for safety reasons and the new bridge was completed in early 2018.

And it’s a guest! Remember that anthology about dragons, Heroika? He’s one of them authors, as promised! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Walter Rhein!
I live in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. My family and I have a small house and we rent out the first floor. This is sort of a variation on the “micro-home” movement. I love the flexibility you get when you live in something small and you don’t have to be terrified about finding the mortgage money every month. That’s an important consideration when you’re addicted to writing. I don’t really take notice of my immediate environment anyway since I’m usually daydreaming (but I know my wife would prefer more living space).
It’s a good way to sort out what I think about things. Writing can be something of a thought experiment. You create characters, conceive of how they behave, and then throw them in with other characters without really knowing what’s going to happen. That requires you, as an author, to consider behavior and the consequence of behavior. If you’re true to your conception of your characters, you can discover the limitations of certain beliefs. Sometimes your heroes become villains, not because they are evil, but because their fundamental beliefs are flawed. I guess I write mainly to avoid being trapped by such a circumstance in real life.
I had my first story published as a freshman in high school. I scribbled away pretty consistently after that, with occasional success. Even when I wasn’t specifically dedicating time to writing, I always played around with words and rhymes and things like that. My wife laughs at me because I’m always composing little songs (I didn’t realize I was doing that until she brought it to my attention). Writing is simply something that happens.
Lately I’ve been working in dystopian fantasy. When I need a break from that I’ve had success with travel, memoir, and humorous writing.
I try to spend about two hours writing in the morning. If I put it off until the afternoon, I don’t feel as sharp. Also, if I try to push for more, the work gets lazy. You notice the difference in quality when you do the edits. It was a revelation to realize what the daily limitations are. Prior to that I was always frustrated with my output since I felt I should have been doing more per day. Now I know exactly what a good day’s work is, and that gives me a reasonable, attainable daily goal.
I strive for readability and I think I achieve it for the most part. I like to deal with complex issues, but if the writing is so convoluted that your readers get frustrated then you’ve not succeeded. The downside is that critics can be dismissive of work that is entertaining as well as stimulating. However, you can’t be too concerned about misguided perceptions like that.
I’m probably in my stories more than I ever intended to be. The downside of that is that the version of me that exists in the work is a snapshot of the person I was while I was writing. There are things I wrote when I was younger that I wouldn’t write now. I might not believe those things anymore, but I still have to take ownership over them because they exist in the world attached to my name. It’s a good reminder for how people evolve, and it’s a very real example of why I need to have patience with others. For example, it’s frustrating to see people get irritated with how slowly their children grasp certain concepts. I’d probably get frustrated too, if I didn’t have a record of the evolution of my own development.
All of the above. I have a general idea where I want the novel to go, but if I discover I can’t get to the conceived conclusion while still being true to the characters, the ending must change. Sometimes when a certain section of a book becomes plot heavy, I’ll write some notes, but mainly I’m guided by theme.
The next book I have scheduled for release is a travel memoir titled “Reckless Traveler.” It’s a collection of all the best stories from when I lived in Lima, Peru. I was there from 2001 to 2009, so the book covers quite a bit of time. It should be out soon (although I’ve been saying that a while).
I’m not sure where Perseid Press fits. I suppose they are Indie publishing. However, Janet Morris is the best editor I’ve ever worked with. She knows what she’s talking about, and her focus is to create great content. I also like that I have a lot of input as to how the book is finally released. I’m more concerned with creating quality writing than anything else, so I suppose it’s Indie all the way.
Yes, I have just finished the first draft to the sequel to The Reader of Acheron. There is still a long way to go with that book, but I’m excited about it. I believe it is a worthy sequel to the first book and I think fans of the first book are going to be pleased.
I think of my kids a lot when I’m writing. It’s important to discuss the problems you’ve encountered as a human being and what your solutions were, as well as the effectiveness of those solutions. Our lives are too large in scope to really understand all at once. Producing a novel every year or so is a great way to keep track. I guess I’m just trying to make sense of things.
“Not everybody likes bacon.” The point being that with as delicious as bacon is, there are still people out there who absolutely hate it. If BACON has critics, what makes you think you’re writing is going to be universally adored?
Here’s an interview with Heroika: Dragon Eaters author Walter Rhein.
Quick, get my asbestos pants.

A different way to make our very own paneer bhurji. This lip-smacking paneer bhurji can be serve as a side dish or make sandwich stuffing or use as pizza topping.
We normally make paneer bhurji with onion garlic tomato and some Indian spices. But this time made with Italian seasonings.
According to Kalyani “the base idea has to be an Indian dish but not an Indian ingredient’. So I have made our humble paneer bhurji Italian. And loved the taste. Try it, I am sure you will also love the taste.
You can use bell peppers or any vegetable of your choice.
1. In a bowl mix pizza sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, black pepper powder and red chilli flakes. Also add rosemary if using. Mix well and keep aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan. Add finely chopped onion. Fry till translucent.
3. Add minced garlic and chopped green chilli. Fry till garlic becomes brown.
4. Add cubed onion, tomato, capsicum and salt. Add salt carefully. Sauce has enough salt. Saute for 2 minutes.
5. Add boiled sweet corn and green peas. Mix well.
6. Add crumbled paneer or cottage cheese and mix. I have used homemade paneer or cottage cheese. Get the recipe here.
7. Reduce the heat. Cook on simmer for 4-5 minutes or till it dried up. Stir continuously. Cooking on low heat helps the paneer to absorb the flavour of herbs.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Add 1/2 tablespoon chopped scallion or onion green if using. Mix and remove from heat.
9. Garnish with remaining 1/2 tablespoon scallion. Serve hot as a side dish with any bread or make sandwich stuffing. Even you can use it as pizza topping.
1. You can use bell peppers, broccoli, beans or any vegetable of your choice.
2. Any vegetable oil can be used instead of olive oil.
Presenting an easy and quick recipe today. If you like corn then it will be a perfect dish for you to make in a jiffy.
You need some sweet corn, garlic and soya, chilli and tomato sauce to make it. You can serve it as a side dish or enjoy as a snack.
Contributing this post to 166 #Foodiemonday bloghop #stirfry theme.
Made this simple dish in my daughter’s place. She doesn’t have any cookware in her kitchen. Always ordered food from outside. Bought some induction based cookware and made this simple yet delicious corn stir fry.
You may like some more corn recipes here.
I made it in a very simple way. You can add one thinly sliced or cubed onion in it. Or you can use broccoli, bell peppers or any vegetables of your choice. If you like it hot add some chopped green chilli or increase the amount of chilli sauce.
2. Add minced garlic. Fry till garlic becomes light brown.
3. Add boiled corn and fry for few seconds.
4. Add soya sauce, red chilli sauce, tomato ketchup and 2 tablespoon water.
5. Mix and saute till everything combined well and dried up.
1. You can add one sliced or cubed onion and 1 – 2 chopped green chilli with minced garlic.
2. You can add broccoli, bell peppers, scallion or any vegetables of your choice.
3. Add chilli sauce according to your taste. If you like hot, you can add more or add some chopped green chilli.
4. You can garnish it with chopped scallion or onion greens.
French beans with rosemary, oregano, lemon and corn.
A delicious and aromatic side dish but its also taste great as a snack. You can serve it with toasted bread in breakfast or serve bowl full as a healthy and yummy snack.
Its very easy to make. If you have boiled French beans and sweet corn ready then you can make this in few minutes.
Our this week’s 164 #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is #beanpower. My humble contribution is this aromatic and delicious French beans with rosemary, oregano, lemon and sweat corn.
French beans are low calorie, nutritious and fiber rich vegetable.
The fiber content is very high, and it also provides some of your daily protein requirements. They also act as an easy source for acquiring vitamins like vitamin A, C, K, B6, and folic acid. In terms of minerals, green beans are a good source of calcium, silicon, iron, manganese, potassium, and copper.
The health benefits of green beans include a reduced risk of heart diseases and colon cancer, as well as controlled diabetes. They provide a boost to the immune system and contribute to the elimination of harmful free radicals.
And aromatic herbs like rosemary and oregano have many health benefits.
Rosemary and oregano contain diabetes-fighting compounds.
The popular culinary herbs oregano and rosemary are packed with healthful compounds, and now lab tests show they could work in much the same way as prescription anti-diabetic medication, scientists report. In their new study published in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, they found that how the herbs are grown makes a difference, and they also identified which compounds contribute the most to this promising trait.
You can serve it in breakfast with toasted bread or serve as a side dish with any bread. Or enjoy as a snack. Sweet corn is optional you can also make it without sweat corn. If you are making it for kids reduce the amount of chilli flakes or skip the chillies.
1. Clean and wash the French beans. Cut and discard both ends and cut into half.
2. Boil the beans in water for 5 minutes or till the beans becomes dark green in colour. Beans shouldn’t be mushy. I have microwave on high power for 5 minutes.
3. Boil the tomato till it’s peel slit. Let it cool down.
4. Heat oil or butter in a pan. Add minced garlic and fry until garlic becomes light brown.
5. Add chopped tomato. Fry till tomato becomes mushy.
6. Now add French beans, boiled sweet corn and salt.
7. Saute and add rosemary, oregano, black pepper powder and chilli flakes.
8. Mix well. Saute and cook till dried up.
9. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.
10. Serve hot with toasted bread or enjoy bowl full as a snack.
1. You can also make it without sweet corn but sweet corn enhance the taste.
2. You can add one more boiled tomato if you like.
3. Adjust the chilli according to your taste.
Cottage cheese or paneer capsicum stir fry.
A delicious yet very easy to make side dish. Something like chilli paneer but you don’t have to fry the paneer or make a batter. Just fry the onions till translucent and all the ingredients.
And your lip smacking dish is ready.
You can get some more paneer or cottage cheese recipes here.
Recipe is very simple but superbly delicious. You can make it in a jiffy if your ingredients are ready. I didn’t use garlic but you can add minced garlic if you like. You can add one more capsicum if you like the taste.
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add sliced onions and green chilli. You can add minced garlic if you want. I didn’t.
2. Fry till onions becomes translucent. Add tomatoes and capsicum.
3. Saute till tomatoes become mushy.
Now add cubed cottage cheese or paneer and salt. Saute for a minute.
4. Add soya sauce, tomato sauce, vinegar, chilli sauce and Schezwan sauce. Mix well.
5. Saute till everything mixed well.
Garnish with slit green chilli or chopped scallion or spring onion. Serve hot.
1. You can add 3-4 minced garlic with onion if you like.
2. Adjust the chilli according to your taste.
3. You can add one more capsicum if you like the taste.

Thanks to those of you who have followed the Museum Studies Call to Action, read the Blog 6 Considerations as Museum Studies Programs take Climate Action, thought about approaches to climate action in museums — and museum studies — contexts, and taken a bit of time to comment on the Blog on the CMCJ Facebook page. Our goal has been to generate discussion around the ways in which museums studies programs can further integrate climate action in their programming.
While online discussion has been quiet, we are are pleased that this initiative has generated conversations off-line and, we hope, among colleagues in your programs. And it is great to know that over 300 have visited the Blog page. Through this process, we have learned that a number of programs are actively engaged in climate action programming while others are planning new initiatives. We have also attracted international interest in the work of the CMCJ. And we hope that reading the Blog and the information provided by programs below may result in new networks, new programs. We will watch with interest as museum studies programs across Canada and well beyond make use of their considerable influence to build awareness of museums’ capacity for climate action.
Museum studies programs have been influential members of the museum community for decades. They play important roles in advancing meaningful roles for museums through their thoughtful critique of underlying principles, through their dedication to excellence in teaching and learning about established and emergent practices, and through the ways they advance knowledge through research. And at this time of increasing concern about the impacts of climate change, they are positioned to build the attitudes, knowledge, skills and partnerships needed to encourage climate action in museum contexts.
The CMCJ Museum Studies Call to Action brings together diverse programs from right across Canada. Over the next three weeks, the Coalition encourages them to share their experiences as they develop new climate action programming and to discuss the challenges that they encounter. And we hope that, by working together, participating programs strengthen their networks going forward.
Whether you are a program director, a faculty member, a student (past or present) or an interested member of the museum community, we welcome your participation in this discussion.
And continue your work on climate action initiatives in museum studies – and museum — contexts.
Program(s): BCMA’s education offerings include an annual conference, regional workshops, monthly webinars, a mentorship program and forums and resources on museum standards and best practices and the care and handling of collections.
Current or Planned Initiatives: BCMA is the professional association for the museum, gallery and cultural heritage sector. BCMA supports our members and general sector development through a variety of learning and development opportunities (including an annual conference, regional workshops, mentorship program, provincial forums, online training videos, webinars, podcasts, Toolbox resources for small museums, and a variety of additional “access anywhere” educational resources.
Program(s): The Cultural Resource Management Programs (CRMP) at the University of Victoria currently offer a Diploma in Cultural Resource Management, a Professional Specialization in Collections Management and a forthcoming Professional Specialization in Visitor and Community Engagement, launching Fall, 2019. Online and face-to-face learning opportunities are also accessed on an individual basis for credit or non-credit basis for professional development.
Primary Audience(s): For over 30-years, CRMP has served emerging and mid-career professionals in the museum, heritage and cultural sector. Offering courses in an online or in a 6-day face-to-face immersive format, learners in the Cultural Resource Management Programs are geographically dispersed with local, national and international participation. CRMP also serves undergraduate and graduate learning in the field offering courses as part of the Minor in Museum Studies offered by the Department of Art History and Visual Studies and the Masters in Public History offered by the Department of History.
Current or Planned Climate Action Initiatives: CRMP provides learning opportunities for emerging and mid-career professionals to develop the knowledge and skills required to lead change within their organization, their community, and beyond. Through regular courses offerings such as Social Engagement, Building Community Relationships, Communicating Through Exhibitions, and Exhibition Planning and Design, learners are invited to explore the broad paradigm shifts shaping the values and practices in museums, develop tools for working collaboratively with diverse communities on complex issues, identify ways that museums can directly support social justice issues such as climate change, and learn effective approaches to exhibition planning and educational programming to engage audiences and effect change. Special topics courses such as Museums in a Troubled World instructed by Dr. Robert Janes, provide opportunities for learners to think critically about museums and environmental sustainability.
As part of an upcoming offering of Building Community Relationships, instructor Elizabeth Kidd has implemented a learning module focused on addressing the consequences of climate change at a community level. This includes an assignment looking at how to address community needs and impact organization change through new educational activities, policy development, collaboration with environmental organizations, and other initiatives.

Primary Audience: AMA members, Alberta museum sector professionals and volunteers, interested individuals from related sectors. The video series is available to members of the museum community and to the public in Canada and beyond.
The Museums and Society course: This capstone course re-examines the fundamental purpose and role of museum in society with a focus on the big picture. How do museums go beyond doing everything right to doing the right thing? This course will tie together the content from the rest of the Program to explore the museum’s role in community engagement, social responsibility, sustainability, and museums as agents of social change.
Conference Sessions: The AMA’s 2018 Annual Conference explored the theme of Cultivating Connections: Museums and the Environment. Conference 2018 featured three days of learning, networking, and dialogue including a panel of four keynote presenters as part of the Opening and Closing Plenaries. This panel provided holistic perspectives about the latest in climate education and climate action as our sector faces widespread environment-based changes. Conference sessions also addressed climate change, climate action, and climate education within all aspects of museum operations. To complement the Conference theme, the AMA was proud to partner with Bullfrog Power to ensure all energy used during the event was from clean, renewable sources.
Video Series: Museums and the Climate Change/Taking Action on Climate Change. A freely accessible and downloadable video series, Taking Action on Climate Change was created by the Alberta Museums Association, the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice, and Shadow Light Productions. The videos address ways in which museum professionals and visitors can engage in climate change action. They have been designed to be integrated into museum exhibition spaces and online platforms as a free educational tool. These videos are also intended to mobilize the museum sector to think differently about their role in climate change awareness and community resiliency, and to take action. They contains practical examples of how individuals can take proactive action to address climate issues. These videos are hopeful and engaging, and demonstrate not only what museums are doing to mitigate their carbon footprints, but also how individuals and other institutions can, by making sustainable choices, affect real change to address this global problem. Download the videos from the AMA’s vimeo page.
Current or planned initiatives: The Heritage Resources Management Program has developed a new course, Heritage and Risk Management, and in this course, students learn about natural disasters, many of which are cause by climate change, as well as cultural, human-made disasters and their impact on cultural heritage places and collections. The program is considering starting broader conversations about environment and climate change and the possibility of integrating such discussions in graduate and undergraduate courses.
Partnerships: Program students work with Alberta museums and historic sites during their practicum course over a one-year period. This project-based course present a possibility to engage emerging professions in climate action.
The Practicum Course provides work experience linked to study. The graduate practicum course requires 400 hours (paid or volunteer) work and the undergraduate practicum course requires 240 hours (paid or volunteer) work.
Reflections: As Canada’s Open University, Athabasca University is a leader in online and distance education. The Heritage Resources Management has students all over Alberta and Canada; thus the program is well-situated to collaborate with museums of different size and in different locations from urban centres to rural areas.
Current or Planned Climate Action Initiatives: At this point, climate action is included in the curriculum as a topic within our introductory survey course. The resources published by the Coalition (e.g., videos) provide a lens for considering how museums and museum professionals can ethically respond to pressing sustainability concerns. With advanced planning, it could be possible to draw this lens into the framework for an applied project conducted by the entire student cohort. A hurdle to doing so is the administrative effort involved (e.g., postsecondary course preparation or redevelopment often goes unpaid), so a detailed curriculum/ training guide that could be adapted at the tertiary level might be another useful outcome of this Coalition.
Partnerships: We currently have partnerships with various regional organizations related to curriculum delivery and the professional advisory committee for the program.
Current or Planned Climate Action Initiatives: Our programs are developing and implementing strategies for students to become more aware of their consumption of materials during the completion of applied projects. We are developing protocols for “your placemat at the conservation bench”, including directions such as using just the amount of material that you need to complete a project. In addition, we are trying to come up with sustainable practices and materials for printing exhibit panels. We do recycle and reuse materials as much as we can and we are investing in resources, equipment, and furnishings that can be used for multiple applications. We are also looking into the Kimberly Clark, nitrile glove recycling program. This is a huge initiative that we have proposed for the entire college to adopt.
Reflections: This is important work. Students and faculty have been asking for and trying to initiate green practices and the use of “greener” materials in museum applications. Sadly materials such as foam core and ethafoam are not easy to recycle.
Current or Planned Climate Action Initiatives: Addressing climate action in the CMS program is not something that we have begun to consider yet.
Partnerships: The OMA has supported local CMCJ initiatives, like the POP UP session at the recent OMA Annual Conference. It would be helpful to develop partnerships with other organizations that have expertise in the area so that we can potentially access guest speakers or people to review curriculum. This would support our current Course Directors to incorporate climate action into course content.
Within the context of the graduate museology programmes at the Université du Québec à Montréal, the Master’s seminar Nouvelles muséologies considers contemporary museological praxis from a variety of perspectives. Of the several themes explored by students in their term-long projects, the subject of museums and climate justice has been taken up by a team of students who have produced a literature review, an interview with a museum professional, and a museum intervention that seeks to propose a sustainable model for museums engaging in climate change. These students will be producing a blog (or two!) for the Coalition in the weeks to come that will detail their research and their climate action initiative. Please stay tuned!
Current or Planned Climate Action Initiatives: CAM organized a workshop in Fiji on Museum Education in the Pacific: Building Resilience and has placed a Canadian intern at the National Museum of Vanuatu from October 2018-March 2019; she will be following up on the workshop and developing an educational program; we’ve developed an exhibition concept for a travelling exhibition about the scientific and cultural aspects of fish and fishing in fishing dependent communities – looking at how traditional fishing practices have changed as a result, in part, of climate change.
Reflections: Climate action is high on the list of topics being discussed at CAM, ICOM and Commonwealth meetings; although identified as one of the calls to action following the People’s Forum at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London, UK in April 2018, there doesn’t appear to be any funding to address it. We’re also currently working with the University of the South Pacific and the University of the West Indies on the development of heritage training programs and can suggest that they address climate action.

Since returning home from our holiday, we have been trying to eat well in an attempt to lose the unwanted Christmas gift of a couple of extra kilos. There are still times though when we do feel like something a little special, and these cookies fit the bill.
I’ve been giving Donna Hay’s Modern Classics 2 a bit of a workout over the past week. It had been awhile since I’d sat down and really read through it, and there have been quite a few recipes that have jumped out at me to try. As always, I have made a couple of substitutions and additions to the original recipe. To start with I reduced the sugar content, and used wholemeal spelt flour instead of plain flour. I also just used what I had in the pantry, the recipe suggest 1/4 cup dried apricots and 1/4 cup dried apples – both chopped and 1/4 cup sultanas. I debated whether to add the malted milk powder, but went along with it and I ended up with a yummy, chewy biscuit – which I do love. As always my big boy was happy to be a taste tester and has also given them his tick of approval.
* Beat together the sugar, butter and egg in a bowl until smooth – if using rapadura sugar you will see some small sugar crystals throughout the mixture.
* Add all other ingredients and mix together until combined.
* Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls, place onto baking trays and flatten slightly. Make sure you leave room for the cookies to spread.
* Bake for 15 minutes until beginning to brown on top – cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

A demon is the symbol of an evil spirit and we throw beans (soybeans) to drive away the evil spirit. Men who were born in a year with the same sign as the zodiac animal for the current year serve as bean-throwers.
On February 3rd or 4th (depending on the year), the Japanese celebrate setsubun, the end of winter, with a ritual known in English as the “Bean-Throwing Ceremony.” “Bean-Throwing Ceremony” sounds comical and childish, however, the setsubun ritual has a long history. The first recorded setsubun ritual was in A.D. 706, more than a thousand years later year, Hokusai (Ukiyo-e artist 1760-1849) illustrated a man throwing beans at a demon.
What does setsubun mean? (setsu) and (bun) means division and setsubun means “division of seasons.” Literally, setsubun occurs four times a year, but only one, the end of winter, is traditionally celebrated.
Why is February 3rd or 4th considered the end of winter? Until December 2, 1873 the Japanese used the old calendar system. On the next day all Japanese switched to the Gregorian calendar. You cannot imagine the confusion. The date of setsubun is still determined by using the old calendar.
What is the relationship between setsubun and a demon? My grandmother frequently said that we often get colds between the seasons. In olden days, the Japanese believed that demonic spirits would sneak into you or your house.
Why we throw beans at a demon? A demon is the symbol of an evil spirit and we throw beans (soybeans) to drive away the evil spirit. I am sure that before beans an arrow was used for the ceremony. Likewise, a branch with a fish head is also placed at the front entrance to stop evil an evil spirit from coming in the house. In 1447, the record says that people scattered beans, shouting, “In with fortune! Out with demons!” We still say the same words when we throw beans. Afterwards we eat the same number of beans as your age plus one bean to receive a healthy and happy year. For eating purpose, roasted soybeans are used.
Who gets to play the part of the demon? When I was little, my father put on a Japanese red devil mask and my sister and I threw beans at him and shouted “In with fortune! Out with demons!” Setsubun was the only day I could throw beans at my father. Temples and shrines in Japan have a setsubun ritual event. Men who were born in a year with the same sign as the zodiac animal for the current year serve as bean-throwers. In this event, people who gather at temple/shrines are blessed by throwing beans but not chased!
I hope readers now have an idea of the setsubun ritual, bean-throwing ceremony.

Simulation is not magic, but it can certainly produce the feeling. Although it can’t miraculously replace particle physics experiments, revealing new physics phenomena at the touch of a key, it can help scientists to design detectors for best physics at the minimum cost in time and money.
Geant4 is a detector simulation software toolkit originally created at CERN and currently developed by about 100 physicists and computer scientists from all around the world to model the passage of particles through matter and electromagnetic fields. For example, physicists use simulation to optimize detectors and software algorithms with the goal to measure, with utmost efficiency, marks that previously unobserved particles predicted by new theories would leave in their experimental devices.
Particle physics detectors are typically large and complex. Think of them as a set of hundreds of different shapes and materials. Particles coming from accelerator beams or high-energy collisions traverse the detectors, lose energy and transform themselves into showers of more particles as they interact with the detector material. The marks they leave behind are read by detector electronics and reconstructed by software into the original incident particles with their associated energies and trajectories.
We wouldn’t even dream of starting detector construction, much less asking for the funding to do it, without simulating the detector geometry and magnetic fields, as well as the physics of the interactions of particles with detector material, in exquisite detail. One of the goals of simulation is to demonstrate that the proposed detector would do the job.
Geant4 includes tools to represent the detector geometry by assembling elements of different shapes, sizes and material, as well as the mathematical expressions to propagate particles and calculate the details of the electromagnetic and nuclear interactions of particles with matter.
Geant4 is the current incarnation of Geant (Geometry and Tracking, or “giant” in French). It has become extremely popular for physics, medical and space science applications and is the tool of choice for high-energy physics, including CERN’s LHC experiments and Fermilab’s neutrino and muon programs.
The Fermilab Scientific Computing Simulation Department (SCS) has grown a team of Geant4 experts that participate actively in its core development and maintenance, offering detector simulation support to experiments and projects within Fermilab’s scientific program. The focus of our team is on improving physics and testing tools, as well as time and memory performance. The SCS team also spearheads an exciting R&D program to re-engineer the toolkit to run on modern computer architectures.
New-generation machines containing chips called coprocessors, or graphics processing units such as those used in game consoles or smart phones, may be used to speed execution times significantly. Software engineers do this by exploiting the benefits of the novel circuit design of the chips, as well as by using parallel programming. For example, a program execution mode called “multi-threading” would allow us to simulate particles from showers of different physics collisions simultaneously by submitting these threads to the hundreds or thousands of processor cores contained within these novel computer systems.
As the high-energy community builds, commissions and runs the experiments of the first half of the 21st century, a world of exciting and promising possibilities is opening in the field of simulation and detector modeling. Our Fermilab SCS team is at the forefront of this effort.
In 2012, when scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs boson, the machine was colliding particles at an energy of 8 teraelectronvolts, or 8 TeV. Just imagine what a 100-TeV collider could uncover.
That’s what more than 80 scientists in the field of particle physics discussed at a workshop hosted by the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab from Aug. 25-28. Such a collider could unlock profound mysteries of the modern era of physics that remain unanswered. The world’s leading experts in accelerators,detectors and particle physics theory gathered to outline how the community could take the “Next Steps in the Energy Frontier” to address these questions.
The global community has put forward two possible initiatives for a 100-TeV hadron collider: one based in Beijing, called the Super Proton Proton Collider, and one based at CERN in Geneva, the Future Circular Collider. If built, such a collider would be the largest ever, capable of probing nature at the shortest possible distance ever explored, 10-18 centimeters.
It would also be the first particle accelerator to have decisive coverage of exploring a weakly interacting massive particle [WIMP] dark matter candidate. It would also shed light on the mass scale related to the widely discussed naturalness aspects of nature, the asymmetry between matter and antimatter observed in our universe, rare phenomena associated with Higgs boson productions, and symmetry between matter and forces, among other unresolved matters.
The workshop provided a platform where leaders from Beijing and CERN discussed in detail for the first time in the United States the issues attendant in realizing the technology required by such a high-energy collider: strong high-field superconducting magnets, including those that can operate at higher temperatures; precise, fast, high-resolution, radiation-hard silicon detectors only 10 to 30 microns thick; imaging energy-measuring calorimeters; next-generation computing frameworks for trigger systems and analyses and other advancements.
“It was a very special experience to be on the ‘ground floor’ of such a grand, ambitious and worthwhile collective endeavor. The array of theorists and experimentalists at the workshop included the world’s best,” said Raman Sundrum from the University of Maryland.
As with any innovation, these technological advancements will have an impact beyond fundamental research, benefiting industrial fields in R&D and cost. Indeed, a project of this magnitude will require synergies between various initiatives and provide international collaboration opportunities not only within the scientific communities, but also with industry. Members of the particle physics community plan to continue efforts toward a 100-TeV hadron collider, with the United States playing a central role.
“This workshop opens a vision for the future of the study of fundamental interactions that points beyond the coming decade, continuing to follow our passion for science,” said workshop co-organizer Meenakshi Narain of Brown University.
Ask someone what our world would look like if there were no cars or no telephones and they’ll probably have an immediate answer. It’s easy to imagine how our lives would be different without these things. But what if there were no particle detectors? Most people aren’t sure what would change if these devices disappeared—even though particle detectors are at work all around us.
Particle detectors play a role in undertakings from drug development to medical imaging, from protecting astronauts to dating ancient artifacts, from testing materials to understanding the universe.
A particle detector is a device built to observe and identify particles. Some measure photons, particles of light such as the visible light from stars or the invisible X-rays we use to examine broken bones. Other particle detectors identify protons, neutrons and electrons—the particles that make up atoms—or even entire atoms. Some detectors are designed to detect antimatter. By sensing the electric charge and interactions of particles, the detectors can determine their presence, their energy and their motion.
Without particle detectors, climate models and weather forecasts would be a bit cloudy.
One of the most common tools used in modern weather forecasting is radar—radio waves sent through the air, bounced off of objects (such as rain drops) and collected by radio—frequency (RF) detectors. Using radar, scientists can gather information about the location, size and distribution of raindrops or other precipitation, as well as wind speed and direction and other variables. Some more advanced instruments apply the same technique using microwaves or lasers instead of radio waves. Radar is also a primary tool in the study of tornadoes and other severe storms, often with the goal of improving safety measures for people on the ground.
The Earth’s climate—the long-term behavior of the atmosphere—is largely created by the interplay between two fluids: water and air. Fluids can be studied in detail in the laboratory using experimental devices that carefully track their complex motions using X-rays and other techniques that rely on particle detectors. Work done in the lab feeds into a growing understanding of our planet’s complex climate.
At CERN European research center, the Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets experiment, or CLOUD, is investigating the link between energetic particles from space, known as cosmic rays, and the formation of clouds in our atmosphere. The experiment suggests that the rays create aerosols, which act as seeds for new clouds. CLOUD scientists try to recreate atmospheric conditions inside a sealed chamber, and use detectors to carefully monitor changes taking place. CLOUD’s findings should help scientists better understand the effects of clouds and aerosols on Earth’s climate.
Particle detectors continue to change the way medical personnel see the human body—or more specifically, how they see into it. Many types of medical scanners, including PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) rely on particle detectors.
Patients undergoing a PET scan receive an injection of molecules designed to accumulate in the hardest-working parts of the body, including the heart, the brain and organs such as the liver—as well as in trouble spots, such as tumors. Shortly after they arrive, a chemical element bound to each molecule will decay and emit a lightweight particle called a positron, which collides with a nearby electron and creates a gamma ray. Throughout this long chain of events, the gamma ray carries information about the body part being studied. It exits the body, is picked up by a particle detector, and the information is translated into images.
MRI machines surround the body with strong magnetic fields. Manipulating those fields can cause hydrogen atoms inside the body to emit faint radio signals. Different body tissues emit slightly different signals, and a highly specialized RF detector measures those subtleties, revealing tissue structure.
Even X-ray film is a simple type of particle detector: It turns black where it is exposed to X-rays and remains translucent where the X-rays are blocked by bones and teeth. More advanced X-ray detectors used today can image tissue as well.
In addition, various types of particle detectors are used in radiation therapy for cancer, which bombards cancer cells with high-energy photons, protons or whole atoms. These particles are forms of ionizing radiation, meaning they can damage the molecules in cancer cells, including the cells’ DNA, making it more difficult for the cells to divide and, ideally, halting the growth of the tumor.
Particle detectors help scientists shine a light on viruses and develop drugs to fight them.
Intense, focused beams of light created by machines known as synchrotrons provide a window to the microscopic world. Shining such light on certain viruses—like those that cause strains of influenza, or the human immunodeficiency virus—reveals their unique, detailed structure. Particle detectors capture information about the interaction between the photons and the viruses and feed it back to the scientists. Armed with this information, researchers have engineered drugs that specifically target those viruses.
Head to your local museum, and you may see evidence of particle detectors at work.
Synchrotrons and other material analysis instruments can reveal the chemical make-up of art, artifacts and fossils. For anthropologists, this information can help determine the age and origin of objects. Art historians use X-ray, infrared, UV and visible light, and even beams of electrons, to gather detailed information about great works. This information is particularly important when deciding how best to restore and preserve paintings, sculptures and more. And in some cases, as with a painting by Vincent van Gogh, studies with particle detectors have revealed hidden treasures below the surface: earlier works of art painted over by the artist.
Take a trip to the airport and you’ll be asked to place your bag on an X-ray scanner before you step through a metal detector or millimeter scanner—all of which use particle detectors.
Cargo containers shipped by air or by sea undergo similar scanning processes. Hundreds to thousands of containers may pass through a major airport or seaport every day and must be scanned quickly and efficiently to ensure dangerous materials aren’t inside. Cargo scanners primarily use X-rays, but in recent years developments have been made using neutrons. Within this busy industry, scientists and engineers are being challenged to build better scanners and improved particle detectors.
In the hostile environment of space, astronauts require protection from solar radiation.
High-energy photons and other particles ejected by the sun threaten to seriously harm humans who venture above the clouds. Down on the ground, earthlings are protected from most of these particles by the atmosphere. In space, particle detectors play a vital role in keeping astronauts safe from radiation. NASA scientists use particle detectors to carefully monitor each astronaut’s exposure to radiation. Satellite detectors look out for intense bursts of radiation from the sun, and provide a warning to astronauts when excess amounts are headed their way.
Particle detectors help test the structural integrity of industrial equipment, such as steam turbines and airplane engines. Smart phones and other computing devices contain semiconductors that are engineered using particle detectors in a process called ion implantation. In geology, neutrons and neutron detectors are used to identify oil reserves and rare minerals deep underground. Electron beams sterilize food, food packaging and medical equipment for consumer safety—and they use particle detectors. Muons—particles raining down from outer space—have been used to probe geophysical phenomena, like the internal structure of volcanoes and mountains. More recently, scientists have been working on devices that use muons to search for radioactive materials in waste containers or cargo ships.
And of course, physicists use particle detectors to learn more about the universe, from finding subatomic particles such as the Higgs boson, to searching for new particles that would explain dark matter and other unsolved phenomena, to looking back in time at the first few seconds after the big bang.
Particle detectors are used every day, making us safer, healthier and more knowledgeable and helping us get things done.
The manner in which particle physicists investigate collisions in particle accelerators is a puzzling process. Using vaguely-defined “detectors,” scientists are able to somehow reconstruct the collisions and convert that information into physics measurements. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln sheds light on this mysterious technique. In a surprising analogy, he draws a parallel between experimental particle physics and bomb squad investigators and uses an explosive example to illustrate his points. Be sure to watch this video… it’s totally the bomb.
In late 1940s, scientists doing fundamental physics research at the General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady, New York, noticed a bright arc of light coming from their particle accelerator. As a beam of electrons whipped around the accelerator’s circular track, photons trickled away like water from a punctured hose.
At the time, this was considered a problem; the leaking photons were sapping energy from the electron beam. But scientists at labs around the world were already looking into the phenomenon, and not long after, circular particle accelerators were being built explicitly to capture the escaping light.
Today, these instruments are called synchrotrons, and they serve as powerful tools for studying the atomic and molecular structure of a seemingly limitless number of materials.
Despite their symbiotic beginning, synchrotron science and particle physics existed largely independent of one another. However, recent developments in the design and construction of particle detectors for synchrotron experiments—as well as new light source instruments—have sparked a reunion.
Modern synchrotrons generate powerful beams of light—infrared, ultraviolet, or X-ray—and aim them at a sample—such as a protein being tested for use in a drug. The light interacts with the sample, bouncing off of it, passing through it or being absorbed into it. (Imagine a beam of sunlight diffracting in a crystal or reflecting off the face of a watch.) By detecting how the sample changes the light, scientists can gather all kinds of information about its structure, make-up and behavior.
A synchrotron facility can host dozens of experiments at a time. The detector plays a vital role in each one: It captures the light, which becomes the data, which holds the answers to the experimenter’s questions.
And yet from the 1950s through the 1990s, the vast majority of detectors used at synchrotrons were not built specifically for these experiments. The designers and engineers would usually buy off-the-shelf X-ray detectors intended for other purposes, or adapt used detectors the best they could to fit the needs of the users.
Heinz Graafsma, head of the detector group at DESY, the German Electron Synchrotron, says the science coming out of synchrotrons during this time of patchwork detectors was fantastic, thanks largely to the dramatic improvements to the quality of the light beam. But that same rapid advancement made developing detectors “like shooting at a moving target,” Graafsma says. Customized detectors could take as long as a decade to design and build, and in that time the brightness of the light beam could go up by two or three orders of magnitude, rendering the detector obsolete.
The lack of custom detectors may also simply have come down to tight budgets, says Sol Grunner, former director of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source or CHESS.
Frustrated with the limits of detector technology, Gunner became one of the early pioneers to build custom detectors for synchrotrons, allowing scientists to conduct experiments that could not be done otherwise. His work in the 1990s helped set the stage for a cultural shift in synchrotron detectors.
In the last 15 years, things have changed, especially with the advent of the free-electron laser—a kind of synchrotron on steroids.
The free-electron laser FELIX at the FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen (nl), Nieuwegein, The Netherlands.
Photon scientists have begun to face some of the same challenges as particle physicists: Scientists at light sources increasingly must collect huge amounts of data at a dizzying rate.
So they have begun to look to particle physicists for technological insight. The partnerships that have developed have turned out to be beneficial for both sides.
The Linac Coherent Light Source, an X-ray free-electron laser at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has six beamlines open for users. The LCLS has produced 6 petabytes of data in its first five years of operation and currently averages 1.5 petabytes per year. That much stored data is comparable to the major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
At the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory, a group led by Pete Siddons is developing a detector that will use something called a Vertically Integrated Photon Imaging Chip, designed by high-energy physicists at Fermilab. VIPIC is an example of a circuit built with a specific purpose in mind, rather than a generic circuit that can have many applications. High-energy physics helped pioneer the creation of application-specific integrated circuits, called ASICs.
With the advanced capability of the VIPIC chip, the researchers hope the new detector will allow synchrotron users to watch fast processes as they take place. This could include watching materials undergo phase transitions, such as the change between liquid and solid.
Siddons and his NSLS detector team are building the silicon detectors that will capture the light, but they need particle physicists to fabricate the highly specialized integrated circuits for sorting all the incoming information.
“Making integrated circuits is a very, very specialized, tricky business,” Siddons says.
Physicists and engineers at Fermilab design the circuits, which are then fabricated at commercial foundries. Fermilab scientists then put the circuits and particle sensors together into large integrated systems. The collaborative project will also involve contributions by scientists at Argonne National Laboratory and AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.
Compared to those used in synchrotron science, particle physics detectors live very long lives.
“We may build a few large scale detectors a decade,” says Ron Lipton, a Fermilab scientist who has been involved with the development of several large scale particle physics detectors and is a collaborator on the VIPIC chip.
Partnering with synchrotron science has given particle physicists a chance to develop and test new technologies on a shorter time scale, he says.
Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland used chip technology from particle physics experiments at CERN to create one of the most widely used custom synchrotron detectors: the Pilatus detector. Researchers at Fermilab and DESY say the work put into technologies like this have already fed new information and new ideas back into particle physics.
Collaboration also provides work for detector engineers and increases the market need for detector components, which drives down costs, Lipton says.
These days, more synchrotron facilities employ scientists and engineers to design custom detectors for lab use or for future commercialization. Half a dozen detectors, designed especially for light sources, are already available.

The truth is that many future poets, novelists, and screenwriters are not likely to be straight-A students, either in high school or in college. The arts through which they will discover themselves prize creativity, originality, and intensity above academic performance; they value introspection above extroversion, insight above rote learning. Such unusual students may be, in the long run, the graduates of whom we will be most proud. Do we have room for the reflective introvert as well as for the future leader?
I’ve long given up on a purely idealistic view of college admissions. For example, if you read Jerome Karabel’s The Chosen, perhaps the most important book ever written on elite undergraduate education in America, you quickly learn that college admissions reflect an economic and political equilibrium. A college, even one as wealthy as Harvard, serves many masters and that means you admit legacies and athletes and you have affirmative action. It also means that you create standards that students then strive to achieve, like the ideal type of the straight A student who is the newspaper editor as well.
You may think I’m a pessimist but I’m not. Rather, I’m amazed at the diversity of higher education. There’s more than one college, way more. There’s 2,000+ universities and liberal arts colleges. So yes, some of the future greats will end up at Harvard. But others won’t. Look at recent Pulitzer Prize winners. Many are Ivy League grads (Jennifer Egan – 2011 prize) and some are not (Paul Harding – 2010 prize). Some go to modest schools (Junot Diaz – 2009, went to Kean College). The bottom line is that literature doesn’t need Harvard. The motley crew that will become the next generation of Capotes and Rowling will come from all kinds of places.
One wonders why humanities instructors at the high-school level aren’t giving As to creative, original, intense, introverted, and insightful students if those are the things they value.
And one wonders why students who are as thoughtful as she claims cannot pass rudimentary rote-learning bars, boring as they may be for such a student.
Underneath what she’s saying seems to be the old slog about grades being an imperfect incentive system (they are), colleges being a hierarchical sorting system (it is), and that that represents social decline (it doesn’t).
One feels Heidegger and Sartre have lived in vain. Why do we not say: W.H. Auden famously said—after seeing the Spanish Civil War—that “poetry makes nothing happen.” And it DOES.
The enjoyment of poetry accomplishes nothing. And that accomplishment should get you into Harvard.
I agree with you about the complexities of elite admissions and that the university system as a whole can be trusted to provide opportunities for all kinds of talent. (Though I do think the diversity of college education is under threat, like diversity everywhere.) But I think as a criticism of Vendler’s piece, that point misses the mark. “The bottom line is that literature doesn’t need Harvard,” you say. But Vendler knows that. That’s her point. She is worried, not that literature will suffer from the lack of formative experience at Harvard, but that Harvard will no longer be able to pride itself on the greatest works of world literature, because the great writers simply did not attend Harvard.
Harvard can remain confident that many of the great politicians and business leaders and scientists (even social scientists) of the future will have gotten at least some part of their education there. And recruitment is well-suited to ensuring that. (As you point out, recruitment is all about serving the many masters that really determines the fate of graduates, beyond the content of the education itself.) Vendler is simply pointing out that Harvard may be excluding people it would like to count among its alumni. That’s not “pure idealism”; it’s as realistic and pragmatic as can be.
I know it’s not a very high circulation publication, but that particular article is all over the internet.
I wondered if the standards of any point in time really would have allowed literary leaders to gain admission. So I figured I’d look at a little data. This is unscientific, but could be the beginning of something scientific. I figured 1955 would be a good year for looking at the leaders of yesterday, so I obtained the list of National Book Award winners & finalists from 1955 (http://www.nationalbook.org/nba1955.html), a list containing such figures as Faulkner, Steinbeck, William Carlos Williams, e.e. cummings, and Carl Sandberg. Then I looked up their educational institutions in Wikipedia (or Google, in the three cases in which information was not available in Wikipedia. The Ivy League is well-represented in non-fiction and poetry, but not so much in fiction; in any case, the list does clearly suggest that literary leaders never did need Harvard. (Institutions lists are for undergraduate degrees unless otherwise noted; in the early 1900s, some professional degrees could be taken as undergraduate degrees).

A visa is a requirement for lending banks and mortgage approval. Lenders want clients to have a connection to Mexico beyond purchasing a property. They believe that by having a connection to Mexico, the client is less likely to default on the loan, and the bank is more protected. These banks believe having migratory status is a sufficient connection to Mexico.
A visa is not a requirement for property ownership , but it provides many benefits, including being a requirement for capital gains exemption, allows one to stay in the country for 180+ consecutive days, and facilitates many services in Mexico, such as opening up a checking account with many banks.
Apply for the visa and receive a stamp in your passport at the Mexican consulate in your home city.
Deliver paperwork to the migration office located in Mexico, and about 1 week later, leave your finger prints.
Pick-up your visa at the migration office located in Mexico.
This information is for clients who are soliciting the visa for the first time. It is from the Mexican embassy in Ottawa, but the rules should be the same across embassies and consulates in Canada.
Original and a photocopy of documents showing that the applicant has employment or a pension with a monthly tax-free income of over $2,027.00 Canadian dollars during the past six months.
b) Scientific research in waters under Mexican jurisdiction.
Family Unity Applications can only be accepted at an Embassy or Consular Office if the foreigner with permanent resident status in Mexico or Mexican citizen accompanies the family member at the time the application is submitted.
Marriage or common-law relationship with a foreigner who has permanent Original and a photocopy of investment receipts or bank statements showing an average monthly balance of $18,699.00 Mexican pesos or its equivalent of $1,520.00 Canadian dollars during the past six months. There are other family unity types, please consult the Mexican consulate nearest you.
Original and a photocopy of the Public Deed signed before a Commissioner of Oaths certifying that the foreigner is the holder of real estate property with a value exceeding $2,493,200.00 Mexican pesos or its equivalent of $202,697.00 Canadian dollars.
3. Documentation proving the conducting of economic or business activities in Mexican territory, which could be proven by documents such as (but not limited to) contracts, service orders, invoices, receipts, business plans, licenses and permits, and a certificate issued by the Mexican Social Security Institute proving that the foreigner employs at least five workers, original and a photocopy.
Foreigners who enter Mexico by land must meet the migratory requirements and comply with the migratory formalities that correspond to the category under which they are requesting entrance (visitors, temporary residents or permanent residents). Admission is subject to approval by the migratory authorities at the point of entry.
Foreigners who travel by car to Mexico must pay the fee for ‘visitor without permission to conduct remunerative activities’ at a cost of $20 USD or 295.00 Mexican pesos, and must comply with customs procedures.
As they pass through customs, foreigners may use the lane for “nothing to declare” if the goods they are carrying do not exceed their personal allowance. However, if travelling with additional items whose value exceeds $75.00 USD, foreigners must pass through the “self-declaration” lane.

This collection reprises M.S Corley's book covers set.
At the weekend, Gemma spent hours decorating our new Christmas tree and wrapping presents.
This year we opted for a three-foot plastic instead of the usual five-foot Spruce, on account of the high possibility of some kind of of Olive/tree accident. As you can see, most of our presents are now sat atop the bookcase, pending distribution.
Maybe you can see yours?
