*-- Trump tweet to 'expand' U.S. nuclear muscle worrisome to security experts, critics --*
WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald Trump was on the receiving end of severe criticism for one of his tweets Thursday -- yet again -- this time for saying the United States should seriously beef up its nuclear capabilities.
The president in-waiting triggered an avalanche of alarm with the tweet, which was posted Thursday morning.
"The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability," it said, "until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
Since he entered the race for president last year, Trump has been roundly criticized for letting loose on a number of unchecked opinions on Twitter involving several issues. Thursday's remark touched a nerve with policy experts and citizens -- many of whom worried during the campaign what Trump might do if given the country's nuclear codes.
Democrat Hillary Clinton repeatedly posed that question at some of her rallies, asking voters to think about the controversial billionaire's finger poised on the nuclear button.
Trump's remark Thursday, which was also posted to his Facebook page, persuaded many people to revisit that scenario.
"Can a tweet start an arms race?," Joseph Cirincione, president of the nuclear nonproliferation Ploughshares Fund, asked in an interview with CNN Thursday. "We may be seeing that in this case."
"This is not the way to make serious policy," he added. "What are the Chinese thinking at this point? These are the kind of implications you have to consider before you tweet."
Advocating the expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal appears to fly in the face of what American presidents have tried to accomplish for the past five decades -- beginning with the SALT I treaty in 1972 under President Richard Nixon and culminated with President Barack Obama's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) less than six years ago.
The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 22, 2016
Trump's tweet didn't make it entirely clear what he meant, but it sounded a loud alarm for critics worried he might adopt an aggressively hawkish military and foreign policy stance.
The president-elect's communications director, Jason Miller, attempted to clarify the tweet later Thursday, saying Trump meant the United States must boost nuclear capability as a form of deterrence, which he said is a "vital way to pursue peace through strength."
"The campaign clarification just confuses the matter," Cirincione said.
Supporters pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin made similar remarks during a speech Thursday, thereby making Trump's message a somewhat appropriate response to potential aggression by Moscow. Most, however, don't agree.
"They weren't warranted," former U.N. ambassador Bill Richardson said of Trump's tweeted remarks. "What we now have is foreign policy by tweet."
"When Russia and the United States, who have 95 percent of the nuclear weapons in the world, both start talking at the same time about strengthening, expanding nuclear capability, that's a message to other countries -- 'start your engines,'" Cirincione added. "What's India thinking? What's Pakistan thinking? That's the trouble when you try to make foreign policy, one, when you're not president yet, two, while you're not getting daily intelligence briefings, and three, when you rely more on Twitter than on thoughtful, articulated and fully-vetted articles and speeches."
Trump's Twitter activity continues to galvanize opponents and worry skeptics. The president-elect has been endlessly slammed for resisting a more measured and diplomatic communications approach on social media -- motivating his most vocal opponents to restate their belief that Trump's continued Twitter gaffes only support the idea that he's unfit for the White House.
"Expanding our nuclear weapons program is how we got into this mess in the first place," one Twitter user said in a reply to Trump's post. "You are going to get us all killed."
"The only good thing about his tweets is advanced notice of impending doom and stupidity," said another.

Minnesota's Senator Amy Klobuchar and Congresswoman Betty McCollum sent letters of support and recognition for the highly successful Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute's (PPGJLI) 1st Annual Community Celebration.
I am excited to announce that with the support of local businesses, we were able to raise over $2,000 and donate 200 books to children at our community celebration.
Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute measures success one leader at a time. Every time we provide a young person with the tools to be a better leader in the future, then we are accomplishing our goals.
St. Paul Councilmember, Dai Thao, provided opening remarks to kick off the event that was held on July 15, 2017, a day that was declared Planting People Growing Justice Day by the City of Saint Paul. The PPGJLI honored the accomplishments of three educators, Johnny Allen, Jr., Dorothy Barnes-Griswold, and Bishop Dr. Dorothy Blaylark-Hill.
The celebration was the culmination of support and sponsorship by numerous entities, including Highland Park Senior High School that hosted the festivities. The Science Museum of Minnesota served as a sponsor for the gala and hosted a science lab.
White Castle manager, Marvin Wright, donated food for the celebration and the restaurant hosted a reading station. Michael Carter, Jr. provided the day's music and Half Price books donated all the books that were distributed.
Members of the Thrivent action team graciously provided volunteers to help provide services, assistance and ensure that guests all had a good time. The event garnered support and sponsorship from diverse sources ranging from individuals, local and national businesses, the state's historical society and the Minnesota Twins Major League baseball team.
PPGJLI conducts an extensive array of projects, programs and initiatives highlighting education, engagement and training to foster youth leadership on a global stage, particularly for girls and women. The organization mentors small business owners and was named by SCORE as an American Small Business Champion.
The organization's newest project will be the release of a children's book in the fall of 2017, "Making a Difference: The Story of Miss Freedom Fighter, Esquire." It features powerful female leaders that have made a major impact within multiple arenas.
The PPGJLI's 1st Annual Community Celebration was a truly collaborative and inclusive celebration honoring outstanding community leaders and bringing together people and entities at the local, state and national level for a day of sharing and recognition of the greatness that lives in everyone.

Torrential Downpour Causes Leaked Bus
StoryfulPublished: May 31, 2017Updated: June 1, 20172 views
Published: May 31, 2017Updated: June 1, 2017
Dmytro Shostak was commuting to work on the bus to avoid the heavy rain in Kiev, but it appeared his plan backfired!
The driver of the marshrutka bus ploughed through the flooded streets in Kiev, but the bus was in such bad shape that the rainwater began leaking in.
Passengers kept their feet up to avoid getting soaked, as the water sprayed through the floor boards.

What's the best way to make sure an FDK (Patternstream in our case) fires up with every job on Framemaker Server 12, and how do you pass parameters (e.g., the name of the pset file to work with?) We can delve into C++ etc. if we have to, but I'm hoping this can be handled with Framescript or Extendscript. Thanks in advance.
FrameScript has the ability to run an "Initial Script" whenever you start FrameMaker. Patternstream has some integration with FrameScript so you may be able to pass parameters to Patternstream once FrameMaker starts using a script. I don't know much about Patternstream so I can't give you the details, but I think you are on the right track. --Rick
I have done a project where my ExtendScript was initiated from a FrameScript. In the other direction, there are several API Clients I use that can be called from ExtendScript, using the CallClient method. As for parameters, if all else fails you can set environment variables in one application and read them from the other side. AFAIK, environment variables are not permanent: when FM exits, the environment variables disappear. But as long as your session runs, they remain available. If no other parameter interchange with the API Cient is available, that method should always work.
Good luck

Srikanth, Svensson, Moberg and Eden - Nordic RagaJyotsna Srikanth, Dan Svensson, Par Moberg and one of our favorite artists, fiddler Mats Eden merge Nordic folk music traditions with the improvisational and structural idiosyncrasies of the Indian raga form. What results is not an easternized Nordic music, nor a northerized Indian music, but something completely their own. This is a RootsWrold Music of the Month selection, donated by the artists and label, and all proceeds support the radio show and magazine.
Unni Lovlid - HymnFolk music is the core of this project by one of Norway's finest traditional and modern vocalist, this time combining the Japanese gagaku tradition that brings together contemporary and traditional music from Japan and Norway. Musicians on this recording are Hakon Thelin on acoustic bass, Remi Miura on the sho, and Kaizan Harago on shakuhachi.
Erlend Viken Trio - NykomlingenErlend Viken leads his trio on fiddle, Hardanger fiddle and vocals, with Marius Graff on guitar, electric guitar, banjo and lead vocals, and Leo Svensson Sander on cello and vocals. Three tracks include Oyvind Skarbo on drums
Berit Opheim, Nils Okland and Bjorn Kjellemyr - BNB - ein song frå dei utsungne stunderBerit Opheim, Nils Økland and Bjørn Kjellemyr are inspired by a wide variet y of classic styles but find common ground in the field of improvisation.Berit Opheim has won the traditional Landskappleiken with her shining vocal. Nils Økland is an extraordinary music who plays fiddle, hardanger fiddle and viola d amore. Bjørn Kjellemyr's double bass and his recent fondness of the colascione, a bass lute from the Renaissance, adds the appropriate gravity to this recording, performed live in the Ullensvang church in Norway. There is a deep tradition here, but also an untamed avant garde, and together they make BNB a highly recommended CD.
Knut Kjok and Dag Garden - Fra folk te' folkKnut Kjøk (violin) and Dag Gården (accordion) lend a new energy to the traditional tunes of Norway.
Vintermane - VintermåneExciting and beautiful new music from Norway. Anne Gravir Klykken (vocal), Frøydis Grorud (sax) and Torjus Vierli (keyboards) flirt with tradtion, but keep it personal and unique.
Vrang - SaeterSoulLee Blackstone writes, 'The Norwegian trio features Jon Hjellum Brodal, Tuva Faerden, and Maja Gravermoen Toresen on hardanger fiddles, fiddles, lyres, and the occasional mandolin. Their full-length debut is beautifully produced, with plenty of space and depth that let the low mellow tones of the hardanger fiddle grow and the sprightly lyres shine. They combine a minimalist approach and a sly pop sensibility. They can sometimes remind the listener of Groupa with tunes that nod to their coloring and percussive romps. Vrang sparkle, and they are a band full of promise.' This is the RootsWorld Music of the Month selection for May, 2017. Highly recommended!
Hallgrim Berg and Erik Roine - MunnharpaHallgrim Berg and Erik Røine celebrate the munnharpe (jew's harp / tromp) in solo and duet pieces.
Moldestad and Merete Kroken - SpindelNorwegian fiddlers Sigrid Moldestad and Liv Merete Kroken present a traditional repetoire for the hardangar (hardingfele) and standard fiddle, with some some accompaniment on bass, percussion and keyboards.
Egeland, Molsky and Jarvela - Rauland RamblesAmerican Bruce Molsky, Finn Arto Järvelä and Norwegian Ånon Egeland join together in a traditional music tour de force. Fiddles abound, along with banjo and touches of ukelele, kantele and jew's harp. They play each others folk music like a natural part of their DNA. It's seamless and vibrant. And it is all recorded at a live concert.
Floating Sofa Quartet - The moon we watch is the sameTheir repertoire is a mixture of original compositions and traditional pieces from their respective countries; sweet melodies and feisty dance tunes are performed with intriguing harmonies, intensity, humor and the warm acoustic sound of wooden instruments. Floating Sofa Quartet is: Mads Kjøller-Henningsen [DK] - wooden flute & swedish bagpipes; Leija Lautamaja [FI] - 2,5-row melodeon & harmonium; Clara Tesch [DK] - fiddle; Malte Zeberg [SE] - double bass

Kristian P. Åsmundstad - a synge gamaltRecordings by the Norwegian folk-singing legend made in 1937,1954 and 1959 by NRK (Norwegian national radio). He was one of the most significant singers from Gudbrandsdalen, Norway and has had an impact a lot of contemporary young performers of the tradition.
Fridtjof Erneshagen - hardingfele
Haldor Røyne - HardingfeleHistoric recordings by Norwegian hardangar fiddler Haldor Røyne (1908-1979). The recordings used for this CD were made between 1967 and 1974. In most instances it is Haldor Røyne himself who did the actual recording--in his kitchen back home on Ekornveien in Ås near Oslo.
Furnes, Holsen and Sandal - HardingfeleArchival recordings of three oldtime fiddlers from Norway - Nils Furnes (1901-1990), Johannes Holsen (1910-1992) and Knut Sandal (1913-1964) - recorded by Norwegian national radio NRK.
Einar Londal - Londalsspel - HardingfeleEinar Løndal is a contemporary old master of the Norwegian hardingfele (hardangar fiddle) whose family has pretty much defined one of the recognized regional styles of playing. He presents 17 traditional tunes, recorded by Norwegian national radio NRK. The audio includes some of his comments on the tunes (in Norwegian, translated into English in the accompanying booklet).
Nordafjells - GeneralFrom Oppdal and Lalm in Norway, this fine quartet of accordions, fiddle and bass moves in a similar circle to Finland's JPP, playing traditional dance music with new energy, verve and a bit of humor. There's no fusion or flash, just solid musicianship offered for the simple joy of playing the tunes. A short bonus video shows off that humorous side.
Eivind Mo - HardingfeleArchival recordings of Eivind Mo (19041995), hardingfele player of Telemark, Norway.
Sandén-Warg, Berglund, Rydberg, Lund, Gorset and Claeson - Schodsbergs NotebokDaniel Sandén-Warg, Mats Berglund, Lisa Rydberg, Vegard Lund, Hans Olav Gorset and Ludvig Claeson present the music of Johannes Nielsen Schodsberg, born on the Schodsberg farm in Aremark, Østfold county, in 1799. A small manuscript consisting of 160 pieces of music exists from these years. How was Johannes Nielsen Schodsberg's music played? On this cd, we would like to illustrate two different versions, which have their origin in the two distinct musical worlds that converge in his tune book. Seldom does one see such a good example of a cultural convergence as the young musician's notes, in which his own folk tradition from the border regions stands side by side with minuets, quadrilles, and marches from the milieu of the trained musician. Mats and Daniel play tunes from the manuscript with an emphasis on dance fiddling, and the Schodsberg Ensemble plays arranged versions inspired by early classical textures and harmony.
Hekla Stalstrenga - MakrameHekla Stålstrenga is an ensemble that reinvents the folk music of northern Norway into something new, with a contemporary energy that never loses sight of its roots. Makramé is their 2011 release.

Jan Beitohaugen Granli - På Beitohaugen
Oscar Hamry - Hardingspel Frå Vestre Slidre: Fairbault, Minnesota 1939Oscar Hamry (Ola O. Reishagen) was the son of Ola Gudmundson Hamre from the tenant farm Hamro, belonging to Midtre Hande in Vestre Slidre. He was born in 1884, and spent his childhood years with his parents at Hamro. He had two brothers, also named Ola. Around 1900, one of the brothers bought the farm Reishagen. After a while Ola moved in there and adopted the farm's name. His other brother emigrated to the USA while still quite young and settled in Minnesota. In 1912 Ola married Ambjørg Sårrbu from Vang. They immediately emigrated to America, and later had a daughter.
Unni Boksasp - Songar frå HavdalThe artist says: 'On my ongoing musical journey, Magnhild Almhjell's songs have always been shining like stars. Both because they are comforting in their familiar use of our mutual local dialect, but also because every song is touched by Magnhild and turned into shining gold. I always strive to do as much as possible of what she does in her songs the way singers often do with their most precious sources.'
Kjetil Løndal - Løndalsspel IIThe Løndal style represents a unique branch of Norwegian traditional music, distinguished by what Tuddal writer O.J. Rui called "its supple, clean playing style and effortless fingerings." Numerous fiddlers have seen the Løndal style as an ideal and emulated its characteristic, lyrical sound. There's hardly a fiddler in Telemark that hasn't been influenced by the Løndal style, and this is true for a number of other districts as well.
various - Landskappleik:HallingtimenThis CD was made to commemorate the national competition in folk music in Norway called Landskappleiken and includes various traditional music from the mountain district of Hallingdal, were the competition was held in 2007.
Ole Olsen Fykse - Religiøse folketonarBorn in 1879 in Fykse, Kvam on the north side of the Hardanger fjord in Norway. This is a collection of religious songs, sung a capella by Fyske in various locations, that exemplify the church music of the region form the early part of the 20th century. Excellent nots in English and Norwegian.
Leif Aasane - ByguttFrom Kongsberg in Buskerud, he had his roots in the municipality of Flesberg, Numedal. Leif's father played the hardanger fiddle, too, so he was steeped in the round dance tradition from an early age, and became a fiddler through the influence of Ole Nærlieie (18871955). This is a collection of recordings made by NRK (Norwegian national radio).
Bjørn Andor Drage - Via Dolorosa - KorsveienOrgan improvisations weave around Easter's dramatic message. 14 meditations on the organ in Rønvik church in Norway all relating to the suffering of Jesus on the cross, combining themes composed by the artist and familiar strains from the passion hymns. The CD was recorded by Erik Hillestad.
Rim Banna - Seasons of VioletPalestinian vocalist Rim Banna performsa selection of new Palestinian love songs with a fine international ensemble featuring Eivind Aarseth (guitar), Gjermund Silset (bass), Rune Arnesen (drums) and David Wallumrød (keyboards), in addition to her husband Leonid Aleixenco (acoustic guitar).

Rim Banna - The Mirrors of My Soul (US edition) The Palestinian singer who gained global recognition as part of the Lullabies from the Axis of Evil project returns with a Norwegian band in a modern recording of Palestinian songs. It veers from emotionally charged, sparsely arranged songs to full-tilt pop-rock, and has the huge advantage of not allowing a drum machine within 4000 miles of the studio. As Arab pop goes, this is throughly unique.
Flukt - DrufiaccOn the second CD by this wonderful Norwegian group traditional Nordic music meets classical and blues, driven by a trio of fiddle, accordion and percussion to produce a compelling and driving sound. The purest of tunes and the simplest of moods exemplifies the mastery of Sturla Eide fiddle (hardangerfiddle), Øivind Farmen (accordion) and Håvard Sterten (percussion).
Ingrid Bjone, Dr. Jonas Fjeld, Ola B. Johannesen - Neonlys på WergelandNeon Light on Wergeland' presents the Norwegian poet and nationalist in an unusual musical light.
Tigerlily - TigerlilyThis young Norwegian band fuses and melds folk, rock, ambient grooves and jazz into an unusual whole, driven by Elisabeth Vatn's bagpipes and clarinets, Harald Skullerud's percussion, and Olav Torget's plucked strings (including guitar, bass, banjo Senegambian konting and Chinese moon guitar).
Jan Eggum - HjertnuserNorwegian singer-songwriter is known as "the face of the melancholy" with songs of lovelorn lives, loneliness and sorrow, and occasionally a social critic. Accompanied by a small ensemble of percussion, bass, occasional horns, he can move run from raw to schmaltzy, from pop rock to jazz. (Songs sung in Norwegian)
Camilla Granlien - BegjaerOn Begjær the Norwegian singer offers a gorgeous a capella performance of traditional folk songs
Ragnhild Furholt - Lån meg vengjeneWith a single exception, all the tunes on this CD were collected by Ludvig Mathias Lindeman (181287). The song Hagbard og Signe was transcribed by O.M. Sandvik (18751976) after Svein Tveiten from Hovden, Setesdal, in 1919. 'I'm delving into the past, trying to uncover the myths and mysteries that which lies hidden within the old stories and songs. How did people think in the old days, and how is it that the old legends, myths and songs are still alive and meaningful, even today?'
Ragnhild Furebotten Trio - Finally waltzMusic from Northern Norway with Ragnhild Furebotten ( fiddle) with Frode Haltli (accordion) and Gjermund Larsen (cello and viola). With this recording Norwegian fiddler Furebotten delivers an exciting debut under her own name, in a decidely contemporary style of folk music.
Camilla Granlien Band - JarnnetterTwo great poets from Lom: Tor Jonsson (19161951) and Olav Aukrust (18831929). Though their views of rural life were far apart, it held a great influence on them both. Tor Jonsson faced much hardship in his youth and came to be critical of the closely-knit rural society, while Olav Aukrust, a champion of religious and national causes, held a more positive view of rural communities, people and lifestyles. Differences notwithstanding, it is obvious from the titles and form of their poems that both drew inspiration from traditional music. We have set some of their poems to traditional tunes both old and recent, and included a few songs they might have heard at home.
Frigg - GrannenThe fifth recording from the fiddle-centric octet based in Kaustinen, Finland. More suprises, more brilliant music, and all the energy and musicianship we have come to expect.
Frigg - Economy ClassFrigg return with their third studio album, advancing their place as young leaders of the Nordic roots music movement.

Starred Agama Lizard
One thing we did see a lot of when we were on Holiday were Lizards, I missed out on one the Snake Eyed Lizard, but managed the others, Sadly I only saw one Snake a brief glimpse of a Whip Snake at Episkopi.
We visited The Mavrokloymbos Dam a few times mainly because it was quite close to the Hotel and secondly because on our first visit we saw loads of things we had never seen before, Birds, lizards , Butterflies and Grasshoppers, if anyone ever goes out to Paphos I would recommend a visit here.
On our first visit we were driving up the road past a Banana plantation when I spotted a Bird sat on the fence, thought how it looked like a Redstart, except this one was all black apart from the top of it's head which was white, cussed my luck that the camera was in the boot, so I didn't get a pic. I found it later in my book, as a White Crowned Black Wheatear, rare even for Cyprus, never mind grrrrrr :-)
There were plenty of Lizards here, mainly Agama's and the odd Troodos Wall Lizard, I did get a shot of a Spiny Legged Lizard here as well.
Back at the hotel I was going through some pics of the day, I looked up and noticed a Gecko, wow!!! " get a look at this" I shouted to Elaine, brilliant it was a Turkish Gecko also known as a Mediterranean House Gecko, great to have around, no beasties get past these.
On one of our days out, we stopped of at Mandria, we drove up to the Asprokremmos Dam, we didn't see a lot here or in the fields below, the river had long dried up, I turned over a piece of wood underneath I found a pair of Kotschy's Gecko's, I was very wary about looking under stuff out here, you never know what you might disturb, if it were a Blunt-nosed Viper we could have been in trouble
I never noticed any Skinks on our travels maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, there a few on Cyprus, maybe next time.
On my next Blog I will show some Butterflies we found, Laters Happy Days :-) Starred Agamas Spiny-legged Lizard Spiny-legged Lizard Turkish Gecko or Mediterranean House Gecko Turkish Gecko or Mediterranean House Gecko Kotschy's Gecko Troodos Wall Lizard

Another CES, another round of keynote liveblogs. President and CEO of Samsung's Consumer Products division, Boo-Keun Yoon, will kick off this year's show officially with his keynote address on Monday, January 5 at 6:30 pm PST (find the time in your timezone here). Ars' Senior Products Specialist Andrew Cunningham will be liveblogging the address with the help of Technology Editor Peter Bright. Reviews Editor Ron Amadeo will bring you images from the press seats.
This is year three of CES keynotes in the show's post-Microsoft era. In 2012, Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs stepped up to the microphone and brought out everyone from Big Bird to Steve Ballmer, and last year Intel CEO Brian Krzanich's turn included Valve's Gabe Newell talking Steam Machines. Samsung is a company we'd expect to make plenty of announcements at CES—perhaps some Galaxy S6 news, or updates on its self-proclaimed "most seductive TV of all time"—so Yoon's keynote could make waves beyond any CES-celeb cameos.
Before being promoted to his current position, Yoon headed Samsung's Visual Display Business, which is responsible for the company's television sector. He also currently acts as Samsung's Chief Design Officer. Samsung hasn't teased whatever Yoon will talk about during his hour-long keynote, but based on Yoon's expertise, expect to hear about Samsung's display-based products—that means 4K TVs, curved displays, and the company's market-busting smartphones.

Britney Spears has been forced to cancel another Las Vegas show as she continues to recover from an ankle injury.
The Toxic hitmaker took a tumble during her Britney: Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood Casino & Resort last week (29Apr15), and she has been sporting a surgical boot ever since.
Doctors ordered Spears to rest over the weekend to fully recover from torn ligaments, prompting her to axe two shows scheduled for Friday and Saturday (01-02May15) - and now, Spears has postponed Wednesday's (06May15) concert as well.
The news of the latest cancelled gig comes hours after Spears announced she is extending her Las Vegas residency for another three months.
The pop star taped an appearance on comedienne Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, which aired on Tuesday (05May15), and spoke about her injury for the first time.
She explained, "I actually wasn't doing anything that hard, I was just kind of bopping around, and I've done, like, eight years' worth of shows, plenty of shows, and I've never actually fell on stage (sic), so it was really kind of embarrassing.
"I got up, and my dancers guided me to keep going. So, not bad. The show must go on."

Reaching a personal milestone can be unexpected. Take my early morning run yesterday – it was still dark, rainy, and chilly. It was also the week I upped my training mileage.
As I approached the last traffic light at the end of my route, I was at that threshold distance where you wonder whether the green light was stale enough to justify slowing down or early enough to warrant, heaven forbid, a final sprint. Continue reading Final countdown
Let's say you own a vinyl record album called "Fully Resilient". The A-side would likely feature songs about positivity, strength, and gratitude with liberal sprinkles of affirmations and courageous quotes. Everyone wants to rock to the A-side. The B-side gets less play, yet it holds creative gems that tend to get overlooked. Maybe the lyrics aren't as snappy or the scores are less catchy. Continue reading High fidelity of B-sides
Championships and reputations have been lost this way.
There are many instances of premature celebration at all levels in the sporting world – triathlon, football, soccer, snowboarding, motocross, motorcycle racing, rollerblading, bicycling, rugby, bull-fighting, horse-racing, biathlon.
Miscounting the number of laps. Coasting to the finish line. Obliviousness to a soccer ball's backspin. Tossing the ball in victory a half-step from the end zone. All is lost in a moment of inattention, in celebration of getting something not yet secured. It's almost painful to watch. Continue reading Premature celebration
Anger isn't pretty. It's not even pretty to write about. To be clear, I'm referring to the non-violent kind of anger stemming from some level of frustration.
There is the slow smoldering kind, the quick-flash kind, the kind threatening to overwhelm logic, the impatient kind, the kind that is linked to some previous experience or assumption, and the kind that shows up on another's behalf.
Did you just notice that?… your initial reaction when reading this? It's too raw. A tad distasteful? Continue reading Even anger has a voice

We were searching for a casual restaurant that was fairly new as we wanted to impress a friend – and we came across Bones in Hoxton. Bones aims to be a restaurant that focuses on good food, simply presented. We walked into the restaurant which is on one floor with small steps near the kitchen which creates another smaller dining area. We were seated in a small booth which was so small,; it was hard to get in and out – our knees were knocking together. The kitchen is at the far end of the restaurant on the higher level so you can see the chefs cooking – they have a great rotisserie area). The restaurant is simply decorated with bare bricks.
We ordered water while we looked at the wine list but this took a long time to come. When it arrived the waitress was about to rush off but we managed to get her to take our starter order of; pigeon salad, buratta salad and beetroot and vodka salmon. This took a while to come out, which was not a bad thing as we were still struggling to get someone to take our wine order. Waiters seemed not to be focused on certain tables and therefore the service was confused and messy (we had been offered other tables dishes twice).
When the food came out we were satisfied, my pigeon was served with hazelnut and vegetable crisps. This was rich, warming and delicious. The hazelnut cut through the richness of the meat and the vegetable crisps were light yet satisfying. The burrata was served simply with bail and chilli which worked as the cheese is so delicate it should speak for itself. The salmon was pickled in vodka and beetroot which gives it a bitter taste that worked well with the oily fish. We really enjoyed. Again it took a while to have our plates cleared but once done, our mains were served immediately.
We ordered the skate wing which was served with olive and hazelnuts, the steak with the garlic butter and the peasant stew which was served with beans and chicken. The skate was well cooked and the olive tappernade gave it some depth. The steak was thin and slightly over cooked but was juicy and well seasoned. The stew was the winner here; hearty, rich and dull of flavour delicious.
We finished on peach, apple and salted caramel sorbets and a raspberry and blackberry cheesecake. They had a great selection of ice cream and sorbets which was refreshing – excuse the pun. We are not sure if these were homemade but we hope so as it did not have the over sweet flavour normally accustomed with shop bought sorbet. The cheese cake was similar to a New York cheese cake which was heavy and creamy – very tasty.
We polished these off and headed home. The restaurant – by the time we left was – buzzing with young trendy types. We do think the food really did live up to its name but the service was really lacking and I have to take off points for the terribly tight booth area. As a result Sex Drugs and Bacon Rolls gives this place:

Going through adolescence is hard enough without having to deal with the issue of being a petite teenager. We all know how kids can't wait to grow up and be adults. They have no idea what being an adult really means and they want to hurry through their teenage years. So when a teenage girl is 15 years old but looks 12, she most likely will have some serious self image problems.
Being a teenager is a big deal to kids. It is a time of growing into what they aspire to be in the future. They want to look older and more mature. A petite teenager usually has to suffer the embarrassment of shopping for cool clothes in the children's department. When she visits the make up counter, she is treated as a child who just wants to play dress up. This only adds to her humiliation.
If you are the parent of a teenager who is smaller than she would like to be, what can you do to help her through this very trying time? She most likely won't believe you if you tell her that being a petite teenager is actually a GOOD thing, as she will most likely grow into a young looking adult. It is probably not going to help to tell her that when she is, say, 35 years old, she will be happy she looks so young. Pointing out to her that as she ages she will be grateful to not have heavy breasts that will just sag and make her back hurt will not mean anything to her right now. All she knows now is that boys don't find her attractive and all her "normal sized" girl friends are much more developed than she is.
One way that you can help your petite teenager is to reinforce her self image. Tell her how pretty she looks when she is dressed up to go somewhere. Focus on her beautiful hair or lovely eyes. Help her with make up tips that are age appropriate. If finding stylish clothes is difficult for her, take her shopping for sewing patterns and material. She can pick out patterns in her size that will fit right in with what her friends are wearing. Of course, you must be careful not to make them look "home made." There are little tags that you can buy to sew into the outfits so that it looks as if she bought them in a store. This is all about making her feel more self -confident in spite of her size.
As she gets older, she will begin to actually appreciate the fact that she is small and will continue to look young even as she ages. But for now, your petite teenager needs all the support you can offer. She needs to understand that she is not "abnormal." Instead, she is quite unique and beautiful in her own way.↑ Back to Top

A photo taken today (23 May 2016) at a meeting of the Joint Committee of Orthodox-Catholic Bishops (meeting at St. Methodios Faith and Heritage Center) in Contoocook, NH.
Today our Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters are observing their Paschal Triduum according to the Julian calendar. The beauty of our Church is the ability to allow different and venerable traditions to co-exist.
We can do nothing apart from the Paschal Mystery of Christ. Hence, it is key to keep in mind that the Cross and Resurrection is central to our Hope in communion with God. In this Mystery we come to know the transformative nature of Love. Regrettably, too many Catholics and dare I say, Orthodox, have forgotten the centrality of the Mystery.
Let us pray for our Orthodox brethren during these days.
"Today he who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon a Tree,
He who is King of the Angels is arrayed in a crown of thorns.
He who wraps the heaven in clouds is wrapped in mocking purple.
He who freed Adam in the Jordan receives a blow on the face.
The Bridegroom of the Church is transfixed with nails.
The Son of the Virgin is pierced by a lance,.
We worship your Sufferings, O Christ,
We worship your Sufferings, O Christ,
We worship your Sufferings, O Christ,
Show us also your glorious Resurrection."
~Antiphon XV, Holy Friday Matins
This is old news for some, but it bears sharing here because it opens up the valued question of communio. The Assyrian Church of the East, of the ancient Christian churches, has good news in their attempt to revision their ministry in the 21st century. Christine Chaillot wrote the following piece trying to explain the complexities of this particular church. Let us pray for the Christians in Iraq, Catholic and Orthodox as they make their way in the face of the Islamist regime. The communion of churches and how we witness to Christ in the error of war and ideology is going to make or break Christianity.
On September 22, 2015, the journalist, John Burger [a New Haven, CT resident], entitled his article : «As Refugees Stream. Out of Middle East, One Exiled Church May Be Headed Back. Assyrian Church of the East elects a new leader, and they may be already building his home in war-weary Iraq.
The return of the Church of the East to Erbil to elect the new Catholicos-Patriarch is highly significant. In 1933 Mar Shimun XXIII Eshaia, the Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East was obliged to leave Iraq and went into exile in the USA where the see was established in Chicago. When his successor, Mar Dinkha IV, passed away on March 26 2015 after an incumbency of almost forty years, elections were organised and the Holy Synod chose Mar Gewargis III who was enthroned at St. John's Cathedral in Erbil on Sunday, Sept. 27 2015. He had previously been Metropolitan of Iraq, Jordan and Russia. Born in Habbaniyah, Iraq and educated at the University of Baghdad, prior to his ordination as a deacon in 1980, Mar Giwargis taught English in several Iraqi schools. In 1981, he was elevated to Metropolitan of Baghdad and all Iraq. His long experience of life and politics in Iraq, with its accompanying political upheaval and displacement will be invaluable in steering the Church of the East.
The consecration of Catholicos-Patriarch Gewargis III was attended by an international array of bishops from the Church of the East, who travelled from the USA, Canada, Australia, Iran, Syria and Sweden (where the bishop is responsible for all Europe) and of course India where the Church of the East was the first Christian presence since the beginning of Christianity, in Kerala (south west India). Also present were representatives of several Churches from Iraq (among them the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Mar Louis Sako and bishops, the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Ephrem and bishops) and from abroad, including from the Vatican and from the World Council of Churches. Political personalities were also present, including a Chinese delegate, recalling the remarkable misssionary activity that the Church of the East conducted for almost a millennium across Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia reaching Mongolia and China. Today, the Church of the East has a new internationalism, but is firmly rooted in Mesopotamia.
Christianity has been present in Iraq since apostolic times; its founders were St Thomas of the Twelve Disciples and Ss. Addai (Thaddaeus) and Mari of the Seventy Apostles. The first location of the see of the Church of the East was in Seleucia-Ctesiphon, then the Persian capital, near present Baghdad. In the 9th century the patriarchate moved to Baghdad and then through various cities in what is now northern Iraq and also northwest Iran. In September 2015 the see was transfered from Chicago to Erbil, the present capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) administered region of northern Iraq, a move that returned to historic roots since Erbil, the capital of the kingdom of Adiabene, was a very early bishopric in the first centuries of the Christian era. Currently, a new patriarchal building (on a grand avenue and opposite a large, new mosque) is being built in Erbil, on land donated by the KRG authorities. At the time of the consecration of Mar Gewargis III, the construction had not yet been completed, but the extensive grounds should also accommodate auxiliary buildings, including a seminary and a print-shop.
As well as physical growth, there have been attempts to heal the schism between the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East that erupted in the mid 1960's. The patriarch of the Ancient Church of the East, Mar Addai, has resided in Bagdad since 1964. Talks prior to the patriarchal election aimed at reconciliation. Although the reunification of the two factions has not yet been realised, further negotiation to this end will continue in the future. The patriarchal election heralds a new era for the Church of the East and all Christians in Iraq and the Middle East. As hundreds of thousands of people stream from war-torn areas of the Near East and Africa into Europe and elsewhere —and Christian leaders are desperately trying to keep their flocks in their ancestral homelands— the return of the Church of the East to the KRG admininistered region of northern Iraq in order to have the see 'back home' and for the Catholicos-Patriarch to be close to his faithful and encourage them to stay in their traditional homeland is heroic and very Christian. The return of the Catholicos-Patriarch within their midst is celebrated with great joy by all the faithful of the Church of the East in Iraq and also by the diaspora communities.
This morning in Rome the Holy Father offered Holy Mass with the recently-elected Patriarch of Cilicia of the Armenians, His Beatitude Gregory Peter XX Ghabroyan, as well as with the Bishops of Synod of the Apostolic Armenian Catholic Church and Cardinal Leonardo Sandri (Prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches).
The new Patriarch has taken up the spiritual leadership in a time of Christian persecution and I am sure he's not going to refrain from speaking out against the injustices and spilling of Christian blood. We need his voice, and that of all the Christian leaders to raise our awareness of these crimes.
In recent months more and more attention has been given by the Pope to the tragic events of the early 20th century that killed many of the Armenians and denied by members of the Turkish government. "Perhaps more than in the early days," said Pope Francis, [Christians] are persecuted, killed, driven out, despoiled, only because they are Christians":
"Dear brothers and sisters, there is no Christianity without persecution. Remember the last of the Beatitudes: when they bring you into the synagogues, and persecute you, revile you, this is the fate of a Christian. Today too, this happens before the whole world, with the complicit silence of many powerful leaders who could stop it. We are facing this Christian fate: go on the same path of Jesus. One of many great persecutions: that of the Armenian people":
"The first nation to convert to Christianity: the first. They were persecuted just for being Christians," he said. "The Armenian people were persecuted, chased away from their homeland, helpless, in the desert." This story – he observed – began with Jesus: what people did, "to Jesus, has during the course of history been done to His body, which is the Church."
"Today, I would like, on this day of our first Eucharist, as brother Bishops, dear brother Bishops and Patriarch and all of you Armenian faithful and priests, to embrace you and remember this persecution that you have suffered, and to remember your holy ones, your many saints who died of hunger, in the cold, under torture, [cast] into the wilderness only for being Christians."
The persecution of Christians happens in a profound way today. "We now, in the newspapers, hear the horror of what some terrorist groups do, who slit the throats of people just because [their victims] are Christians. We think of the Egyptian martyrs, recently, on the Libyan coast, who were slaughtered while pronouncing the name of Jesus."
The Pope's prayer was that the Lord might, "give us a full understanding, to know the Mystery of God who is in Christ," and who, "carries the Cross, the Cross of persecution, the Cross of hatred, the Cross of that, which comes from the anger," of persecutors – an anger that is stirred up by "the Father of Evil":
"May the Lord, today, make us feel within the body of the Church, the love for our martyrs and also our vocation to martyrdom. We do not know what will happen here: we do not know. Only Let the Lord give us the grace, should this persecution happen here one day, of the courage and the witness that all Christian martyrs have shown, and especially the Christians of the Armenian people."
You may recall that Pope Francis, in February 2015, declared as a Doctor of the Church the sainted Armenian monk and poet, Gregory of Narek (950-c. 1005). He is only one of 36 by the Roman Church.
Many wondered about the person of Gregory and his importance in the Church today. Being declared a Doctor of the Church is one of the most singular distinctions that the Supreme Pontiff could give to one of the saints, but way this monk and poet of the Armenian Church, and why now? Why is this gesture of Pope Francis a key event?
In Michael LaCivita's article, "Cries from the Heart: Armenia's Poet of the Soul" gives a fine introduction to this Doctor of the Church.

It's from a very hated album by Emerson Lake & Palmer (the band hates it too), but the song is short and the music is very Who-sounding (right up PJ's alley) and the range and tone of Greg Lake's voice on this tune is right in EV wheelhouse. People always think I'm joking, but this could be an awesome cover IMO - maybe even a Xmas single?!
