Does Studying Theology Make Us Certain?
Those who are familiar with Thomas Aquinas know that he begins the Summa Theologica (his magnum opus) with the question as to how one can go about studying theology. In article two of that question, he asks whether theology is a science, and to answer, he makes a critical distinction so that he can answer that theology is, in one way at least, a science, thus making the Summa itself a work of science:
Sacred doctrine is a science. We must bear in mind that there are two kinds of sciences. There are some which proceed from a principle known by the natural light of intelligence, such as arithmetic and geometry and the like. There are some which proceed from principles known by the light of a higher science: thus the science of perspective proceeds from principles established by geometry, and music from principles established by arithmetic. So it is that sacred doctrine is a science because it proceeds from principles established by the light of a higher science, namely, the science of God and the blessed. Hence, just as the musician accepts on authority the principles taught him by the mathematician, so sacred science is established on principles revealed by God.
In other words, theology is a science, Aquinas says, if we understand it as a sort of "subalternated" science which derives its first principles from another science. Unlike other subalterated sciences like music or optics, however, theology derives its first principles from a non-demonstrable science. Godfrey of Fontaines explains why this is so:
[I]f theology were truly and properly a science after the model of a subalternated science in relation to a subalternating one, it would be necessary that the principles of theology that are had in this life be certain by the certitude of evidence at least in regard to knowledge that such is the case, and it would be necessary that there would be knowledge of why it is the case in the science the blessed have of these principles . . . So, in order that theology be science and that not only would there be faith regarding the conclusion of theology as there is regarding the principles, then regarding its principles it is necessary that they be not only believed but be known and evident. For, the type of evidence the principles have will determine the parallel type of evidence that the conclusion will have. For although a conclusion may be drawn from principles that are only believed and the consequence or the necessity of the consequence can be scientifically known, still the consequent and its necessity cannot be known scientifically from such principles (Quodlibet, IV, q. 10, 1287).
In other words, we might call music or optics a subalternated science because it derives its first principles from another science (arithmetic or geometry), or is subjected to other more proper sciences. Thus, an optician may proceed to study optics without having proper knowledge of the first principles of his science, which are derived from geometry. However, the optician may study geometry and in doing so, gain a more perfect knowledge of optics. Optics is thus subordinated or subalternated to geometry, but not in such a way that prevents a more perfect knowledge of optics through gaining a more perfect knowledge of its first principles through the study of another science.
Theology, as Godfrey points out, is not like this. Theology is based on first principles which do not come from another human science which may be studied, but rather from the science which exists in the mind of God and is consequently beyond all human understanding. "Science," Godfrey tells us, is "a sure habit possessing both the certitude of evidence and the certitude of conviction," which theology can never have because it is based in principles which are not certain but accepted on faith. In contrast to science, faith, Godfrey writes, is "a sure habit having only the certitude of conviction, not the certitude of evidence." Faith may be stronger than opinion (which lacks both the certitude of evidence and conviction), but for Godfrey, because theology rests on revealed first principles which cannot be proved, it can only be faith and never science.
Is there a difference between Thomas and Godfrey? Maybe, but on the subject of theology as science, perhaps they can be reconciled. Thomas, like Godfrey, knows that the first principles of theology rest on faith. Such principles like the Trinity, Incarnation, and Eschaton cannot be proved, only believed. For Thomas, belief comes as a gift not only of intellectual propositions, but the gift of an actual relationship with God. The object of faith, while not convincing to the non-believer, is actually more certain than sensory knowledge because it is a knowledge based not only on the discursive intellect, but also the affections (as elevated by the gifts of the Holy Spirit). However, from those first principles, rational and logical conclusions can be drawn which enhance the knowledge one has of the first principles, and on this, Thomas and Godfrey are not in such disagreement. Godfrey writes:
So, when theology is posited as science, it is necessary that its principles become in some way evident and known or understood. In fact, evidence has to be of a kind that respects the excellence of its subject matter and the weakness of the human knower. Thus, to one instructed in theology, it is much more evident than to the simple layman that Christ, God and man, has risen, and how this is possible and not impossible. . . Therefore, even though such things are not as evident as are the principles of other sciences because of their lack of proportion to our intellect, still they are known by a kind of evidence that is sufficient. . . Concerning he kind of knowledge we have in theology, Augustine, in Book XIV of his De Trinitate, says: "Many of the faithful are not strong in this science, even though they are strong in the faith itself. For it is one thing to know what a man must believe in order to gain the blessed life; it is another thing to know how that which is believed may help the pious and be defended against the impious."
So, both Aquinas and Godfrey show us that by studying theology, we are not making scientific arguments that will be convincing as science to the non-believer. However, by studying theology scientifically, that is, by logically deducing conclusions from revealed first principles, we do get a sort of science which is important, not because it makes our beliefs more convincing to the non-believer, but because we become more convinced, even in light of the opposition of non-believers. Thus, theology does enhance knowledge if conducted scientifically, even if we still might not be able to call theology a proper science.
This seems to me incredibly important today when so many believers, when faced with a materialist and empiricist scientific worldview, feel the need either to doubt or abandon their faith or to withdraw into a sectarian, anti-scientific stance. For this latter group, recovering the Medieval concept of theology as a science can help Christians engage the scientific community in a spirit of dialogue rather than polemics, and by incorporating the sciences into the study of theology, they may actually become better believers.

How to go deeper on the analysis of your Brand
Too many times, marketers come to conclusions based on pure instincts and put them forward to their management team and the set of peers who might agree or disagree. The problem with instincts is that because it's really just an opinion, with nothing to substantiate it. And even if you are right, you'll have a hard time convincing others, so anyone with a counter view, retains their own opinion and the team remains divided. Even if they go along with it, they remain a quiet dissenter just waiting for it to fail and waiting to say "I told you so".
When you don't go deep on your thinking, I call it surface thinking. I equate "surface thinking" to "surface cleaning". When your mother is coming over to visit in half an hour, you "surface clean" by quickly take everything and jam into the drawers or closets where she won't be able to see. You never really clean up. The same thing holds with "surface thinking". Yes, you think, but it stays at the opinion level. You don't dig in to the data, you don't listen to others or go do the necessary research to back up your opinion. You never really go deep enough to uncover the deep rich insightful conclusions. And everyone knows it.
Opinions are great. Every leader should have one and be able to articulate their views. But it's best when you can layer it in fact. One good rule for communicating your opinion is something I learned in my first year Logic class: Premise, Premise, Conclusion. Try it out, next time you're engaged in debate. Just make sure the premise is backed by fact.
So what happens when you just do "surface thinking":
- The programs bomb, and because you don't know what elements of the program really failed, you throw out the entire program—the strategy was wrong, the tactics didn't do what you hoped, the goals weren't set up right and even the agency did a bad job. You throw it all out, and might even fire the agency.
- There's management doubt from your boss and your peers. They can clearly see you don't go deep, so they remain unconvinced or even confused. They might confront you with their own opinion, but then we just end up with two talking heads that refuse to go deep. But, to protect themselves against a strategy they aren't quite sure of, they subconsciously short-change you on investment or even on support from their team.
- When you just operate at the surface level, when you're debating a topic, instead of the team going deep and seeking out real and rich facts to support one side or the other, the conversation moves sideways instead of deep. What you'll notice is you'll be talking about distribution at the surface level, and because no one in the room wants to go deep, they say "well what about the new cheery flavor, I took it home and my wife didn't like it, are we sure it's going to work" or "this new golf shirt for the sales meeting is very cool, I want one of these puppies". The leadership team spins, round and round, never diving deep enough to solve the issues, just casually moves on to new issues. This is how bad decisions or no decisions get made.
How to go deeper
The best way go deep on your analysis, ask "so what does that mean" at least five times and watch the information gets richer and deeper.
Looking at the Gray's Cookie example above, intuitively, it makes sense that going after Health Food Stores could be one option put on the table. But to say you need to be better, without digging in remains an unsubstantiated opinion. As you dig deeper, you see that going after Health Food stores, who are highly independent is labor intensive and the payback is just not there. Yes, you're way under-developed. But it's more expensive than other options. When you bring the option of going after mass into the mix, which is head office driven, you start to see a higher return on the investment. This is just a fictional example, but look how the thinking gets richer at each stage. Force yourself to keep asking "so what does this mean" or "why" pushing the analysis harder and harder.
Thinking time questions that will help you go deeper
The first analysis is "What do we know?" with 5 key questions to help you sort through your analysis:
- What do we know? This should be fact based and you know it for sure.
- What do we assume? Your educated/knowledge based conclusion that helps us bridge between fact, and speculation.
- What we think? Based on facts, and assumptions, you should be able to say what we think will happen.
- What do we need to find out? There may be unknowns still.
- What are we going to do? It's the action that comes out of this thinking.
It forces you to start grouping your learning, forces you to start drawing conclusions and it enables your reader to separate fact (the back ground information) from opinion (where you are trying to take them)
The second type of analysis is "Where are we?" with 5 key questions to help you sort through your analysis:
- Where are we?
- Why are we here?
- Where could we be?
- How can we get there?
- What do we need to do to get there?
These questions help frame your thinking as you go into a Brand Plan. The first question helps the analysis, the second with the key issues, the third frames the vision and objectives, the fourth gets into strategy and tactics and the fifth gets into the execution. My challenge to you: update it every 3-6 months, or every time you do something major. You'll be surprised that doing something can actually impact "where are we?" on the analysis.
The deeper the thinking, the smarter the leader

34 W. Broad Street,
12 people favorited this theater
The Keith-Albee Palace Theatre was opened in November 1926 as a grand vaudeville and movie house. It became the RKO Palace Theatre (Radio Keith Orpheum) in 1929. After almost fifty years of first run films, the Palace Theatre was forced to close its doors.
The theatre was purchased in 1989 by the CAPA organization and is a now a premier venue for concerts, stage shows and more. It was closed in May 2018 for renovations to be carried out and these should be completed in six months.

More fils from 1967 to the closing of the Palace will be posted as research is completed. Among the holiday films that played in later years were:
1967 – Wait Until Dark
1968 – Bullitt
1969 – The Arrangement
1970 – There Was a Crooked Man…
1971 – Diamonds are Forever
1972 – Hit Man
1973 – Hell Up in Harlem
1974 – Abby
Nice. I still wonder why the sign says "Columbus Palace Theatre" when that is not the actual name.
One very odd thing about this theatre is that when you walk into the balcony, it feels like you are leaning to the side. VERY disconcerting! I experienced it as a child and then again, many years later, when I attended a concert. My dad told me one time that he hated going there for the same reason.
No idea why this happens…probably some type of optical illusion.

10tv story on the Palace. COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Palace Theatre in downtown Columbus has been home to prime entertainment for decades.
The theatre, located in the LeVeque Towner on Broad Street, opened 86 years ago as a Vaudeville house, 10TV's Jerry Revish reported.
"I saw Lucille Ball play here, Jack Benny was here. Bill Bojangles Robinson played here," said Todd Bemis of the Columbus Association For the Performing Arts, which manages the theater. "All the greats at that time found their way to Columbus through the front doors of the Palace."
The theater had a huge boom when Mae West came to town in 1938.
"There's a photo of folks literally wrapped around the outside of the building waiting to buy tickets to get into see Mae West," Bemis said.
The Palace Theatre became home to big bands in the 1940s.
"They used to have what they called a rolling stage on the theater," Bemis said. "They would still show a movie maybe before the jazz concert, but then the movie screen would go out, and the jazz band or the big band would start to play, and they would literally roll them down to the front of the state, to the great applause of the audience."
Business slowed in the 1960s, though, Revish reported.
"Many of the furnishings of the theater disappeared during that period, all the crystal was stripped out of the theater during the period because they didn't want to maintain it, keep it clean," Bemis said. "The wonderful brass doors that we have in our inner lobby, they just painted them rather than polish them, so there were seven coats of paint on those doors applied during that time."
The problems continued until Frederic LeVeque came along and purchased the theater in 1973.
"The theater actually would have been demolished at that time, and his hotel was to expand from the theater up to Broad and High," Bemis said.
LeVeque died in a plane crash and was not able to complete his plans.
Years later, his widow decided to reopen the theater after spending $3 million of her own money to renovate the building. She added new seats, plumbing, wiring and a new roof.
"There was nothing really usable in the theater," Bemis said.
The Osmand family debuted the newly renovated theater.
"I'll always remember that, they took over two full floors of the Neil House at that time," Bemis said. "They had such a large entourage."
Bemis said that the Palace Theatre has brought value to Columbus.
"It's what I like to call the workhorse of our theaters in downtown, because it does such a wide range," Bemis said.
They used to have a yearly Three Stooges show at the theater; it was always 8 shorts with an intermission halfway through. One year Moe's son-in-law Norman Maurer was in attendance and told some great stories. In recent years they've become too "upscale" for that sort of thing. That's a major problem I've seen in Columbus for the last couple of decades; they're trying so hard to be gentrified and sophisticated that the old-fashioned fun side of the city is nowhere to be found. The decision makers in this town today would consider something like a Stooges show to be beneath the city's dignity or something. Sad.
People, yes; the city planners and folks who program entertainment downtown, not so much. There's just a palpable sense of "look how sophisticated we're becoming" in Columbus that seems to be sapping some of the fun out of the city. But maybe it's just my perception.
The organ at the Palace was Wurlitzer's opus 1407 installed in 1926, a style 260 Special, meaning a stock 260 design was customized for this installation. It had 3 manuals and 16 ranks. Records show that a single set of pipes, an extra Vox Humana, was installed above the proscenium for an echo effect.

Germany progressed to the semi-finals of the UEFA European Championship for the first time since 1996 as goals from Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose and Michael Ballack secured a 3-2 victory over Portugal in Basel.
The Mannschaft ended up lifting the Henri Delaunay Cup that year and the way they raised their game to meet the challenge of a Portugal side that refused to lie down – halving a two-goal deficit twice through first Nuno Gomes and then, in the dying minutes, Hélder Postiga – augurs well for Joachim Löw's team.
By contrast, it was a night when the worst fears of Portugal's Chelsea FC-bound coach Luiz Felipe Scolari were realised, his pre-match nightmares about Germany's aerial superiority materialising in the form of headed goals by Klose and Ballack. Portugal were semi-finalists in 2000 and runners-up in 2004 and Scolari had hoped to take that final step at UEFA EURO 2008 but his farewell party fell flat at St. Jakob-Park, where Portugal were overpowered by opponents who shrugged aside impressively their occasional first-stage torpor.
With Simão probing down the right, Scolari's men appeared to be finding their stride as they offered the first threat on goal when Bosingwa crossed and João Moutinho, free of his marker but seemingly caught in two minds, steered the ball over at the near post with his knee. Yet in the 22nd minute they fell behind.
It was a wonderfully worked goal too, swift passing between Philipp Lahm, Ballack and Lukas Podolski advancing the ball down the left, with Podolski bursting clear to drive in a low cross which Schweinsteiger converted with a sliding finish. Schweinsteiger's coach Löw had told the midfielder he had a "debt" to his team-mates after his red card against Croatia and here, in his first start of the finals, he resembled a man on a mission.
Scorer of two goals against Portugal at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Schweinsteiger was the architect of their second here too, drifting a free-kick into the Portugal box which Klose, ghosting clear of the red shirts, headed past Ricardo. Raul Meireles replaced the injured Moutinho and Portugal went in search of a lifeline. It came via captain Nuno Gomes five minutes before the break.
Simão's crossfield ball sent Ronaldo racing clear of Per Mertesacker down the inside-left channel and though Jens Lehmann blocked his shot, Gomes was first to the rebound, striking first time into the net via the foot of Christoph Metzelder, defending desperately on the line. It was Gomes's sixth goal on the European stage over three tournaments – a scoring span only achieved by Jürgen Klinsmann, Thierry Henry and Vladimír Šmicer before him.
Ronaldo was a whisker away from an equaliser moments before half-time, flashing the ball past Lehmann yet just wide of the far post. Deco did find the net shortly after the interval but was in an offside position and the little midfielder then flicked on a Simão corner to set up Pepe, only for the defender to nod over.
Ballack showed him how it should be done in the 61st minute when – to the displeasure of his future manager – he shrugged off Chelsea FC team-mate Paulo Ferreira and beat Ricardo to another Schweinsteiger free-kick to head home. Scolari sent on Nani and Postiga as Portugal chased the game and the pair combined to ensure a nervy finale when Postiga headed in from Nani's left-wing delivery but the glimmer of hope was soon extinguished.

Ask an Expert: Tamoxifen vs. Arimidex?
Ask an Expert: Tamoxifen vs. Arimidex?
Q: What can you tell me about Arimidex vs. tamoxifen? Should a person on tamoxifen switch to Arimidex? And is there any benefit to taking Arimidex after five years on tamoxifen?
Answer from the expert staff of breast cancer research at the
Robert W. Franz Cancer Research Center
in the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute at Providence Cancer Center:
In December 2001, early results from the ATAC (Arimidex or Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination) trial were presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The ATAC study involved over 9,000 postmenopausal early breast cancer patients who were treated with tamoxifen (Nolvadex), anastrozole (Arimidex) or both for five years. After three years of follow-up, Arimidex treatment alone demonstrated superiority to tamoxifen or the combination.
In December 2002, updated results from the ATAC study were presented. Data from an additional year of follow-up showed that the improved outcomes offered by Arimidex are only increasing over time.
Both Arimidex and tamoxifen work by exerting an effect on estrogen, which feeds the majority of breast cancers and helps them grow. Arimidex belongs to a class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors, which limit the amount of estrogen the body produces in postmenopausal women. Arimidex works by preventing the conversion of steroids made by the adrenal gland into estrogen.
In a woman who has gone through menopause, the adrenal gland is the largest source of estrogen. Arimidex doesn't work in women who are premenopausal because their ovaries make most of their estrogen.
Tamoxifen belongs to a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), which work by blocking estrogen from binding to its receptors in the breast. This drug works as well in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
With an average of four years of treatment on the ATAC study, hormone receptor-positive participants taking Arimidex were 22 percent more likely to be cancer-free than those taking tamoxifen (304 patients on Arimidex vs. 363 patients on tamoxifen experienced recurrence). In addition, the absolute reduction of risk among those taking Arimidex compared to those taking tamoxifen increased from 1.7 percent at three years of follow-up to 2.9 percent at four years of follow-up. These are small but important differences, and the most significant result is that the gap is increasing over time.
As more study results become available, the curves will probably continue to diverge, and we expect that over another five or ten years, we'll see an even greater difference between the effectiveness of the two drugs. We also expect that Arimidex will improve overall survival rates, because we're seeing fewer recurrences in distant organs among women taking Arimidex.
There haven't been many breast cancer-related deaths so far among study participants, so we haven't yet observed a difference in survival. The ATAC study also indicated that Arimidex is better tolerated than tamoxifen.
Both drugs cause hot flashes, but unlike tamoxifen, Arimidex does not cause blood clots or increase the risk of uterine cancer. However, there is a down side to being on Arimidex. Women taking this drug have more problems with bone fractures. Tamoxifen blocks estrogen in the breast, but it acts like a weak estrogen outside the breast, so it stimulates bone and keeps it from getting thin. Arimidex, on the other hand, works by preventing the production of estrogen. It doesn't have any estrogen-like effects, so women taking this drug have more bone thinning and fractures.
This side effect shouldn't be taken lightly, as bone fractures can lead to serious complications, especially in older women. If a woman has a history of osteoporosis, Arimidex may still be the best choice for her. I think that all women should have a bone density test before they start on Arimidex. If a woman's bone density is low, or if it drops while she is taking Arimidex, she should consider taking calcium supplements or prescription drugs, like Zometa or Fosamax, that prevent bone loss.
Another down side to Arimidex is that it's twice as expensive as tamoxifen, and this may be an issue for women who don't have prescription coverage. I recommend Arimidex to most of my postmenopausal patients who have not yet started either drug. Arimidex offers a small but real improvement over tamoxifen, and in general, side effects are minimal.
A woman who is choosing between Arimidex and tamoxifen should discuss the benefits and risks of each with her physician, including a review of her bone density history. If a postmenopausal woman has been on tamoxifen for just a couple of months, she could consider switching to Arimidex. However, if she has been on tamoxifen for a year or more I wouldn't necessarily recommend switching.
Although a recent study suggested there may be some benefit to switching, more research is needed. We don't know much yet about the benefits of switching, and we know for certain that it is beneficial to be on tamoxifen for five years. Talk with your doctor about whether switching from tamoxifen to Arimidex might be right for you.
If a woman completes five years of tamoxifen therapy and is interested in Arimidex, she could consider participating in a clinical study addressing the issue of additional treatment with drugs like Arimidex.

|Justo Kneading Scrapes of Meat
Ricardo Supervising
Photo by: Lord-Williams
|Photo by: Lord-Williams
2 oz dewlap, skin and meat below pig's chin
3 ½ oz salt
1 ¾ oz. sugar
0.8 oz pepper
1 chopped onion
1 chopped leek
1 chopped carrot
1 tsp cloves
1 bay leaf
1 tsp thyme
1 ½ oz fresh figs
1 oz ceps (Boletus edulis, mushrooms)
For the Sauce:3 tbsp muscatel wine
¼ c broth made with bones, celery, carrots, onion and a leek
1 tbsp butter
chopped chives
|Entire Jaw Showing Dewlap from Pig Slaughter 2000
Photo by: Lord-Williams
A dewlap is considered to be a scrap of meat and, therefore is inexpensive. As it contains a large percentage of inter-muscular fat, consumption is limited. It is recommended that a person should not eat more than 3.5 oz of this meat in a day. A small amount is enough to get a taste of it.
The dewlap, as other parts of the pig's body, contains a large quantity of short hairs, which are most disagreeable if swallowed. Burn all the hairs before beginning to cook this product. This can be done with a blowtorch or by holding the dewlap over a gas burner on the stove using kitchen thongs.
Once all the hair is removed, prepare a marinade for the dewlap. Mix the salt, pepper and sugar. Cover the dewlaps with this. Cover and let sit for at least 6 hours but no more than 10. This process brings out the flavor of the dewlap and it will tighten the meat in case it is not as tight as desired.
Once marinated, wash the dewlap well with cold water. Boil it in broth made by covering it with water and adding the onion, leak, and carrots. For aroma add cloves, thyme and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil and then lower heat to boil gently for 3 to 4 hours depending on the quantity. Test for doneness sticking it with a thin sharp needle taking care not to hurt the piece of meat. When the needle enters and comes out easily it is cooked. Turn off the heat and let it sit in the broth until it cools down. Very carefully remove the pieces from the broth and let it cool down completely. After a few hours the dewlap will acquire a more solid consistency and can be easily carved.
Clean the ceps, especially the stem. The best way to clean them is to rub the bottoms and turning the mushrooms to wipe off the dirt. Never peel them for they are not like potatoes and never submerge them in water. Avoid using brushes or instruments that could damage the skin. Once cleaned, slice them 1/3" thick and grill them.
Prepare the sauce for the dewlap. Sauté the moscatel until the volume is reduced to one half. Add the broth concentrate made with bones, which has been strained. Continue reducing the sauce until it becomes a thick sauce. At the last moment add 1 tbsp butter to give it a little shine.
Peel the figs and quarter them. Cut the dewlap in half. Score all four sides of each piece on a grill or in a non-stick frying pan. It is not necessary to add oil or lard as the dewlap has enough to prevent it from sticking. Cook each side until crispy on the outside. This crust adds more flavor to the meat.
Place the dewlap and the mushrooms in a serving dish with the figs around them. Pour the moscatel sauce over the meat to make it shine. Garnish with chives and sprinkle salt over it. Serve warm.

This is a photo-blog post version of what I did yesterday, which was basically a chill day with my boyfriend. I would love to make vlogs, but I can't really use youtube at the moment (my computer is old, my camera so huge to make video outside..), but I probably will one day :D
So after I wake up in the morning, maybe after drinking water and eating something, I love to make some exercises. I usually make workouts nearly everyday and most of the times concentrtated on the legs, because it takes so much effort for me to keep them healthy-looking, if it makes sense haha
I usually gain weight on the legs, let's put it this way.. but of course I enjoy working out and suggest it to everybody, if I don't do it in the morning then I make 15-20 mins around an hour before going to sleep.
While walking around the sunny Berlin, we went to buy some grocery, and we found THIS. Litterally, the most cheesy vegan thing ever! If you come to/live in Berlin, we bought it in the supermaket in Zoologischer Garten, right in front of the station.
I am always so happy to find vegan alternatives to cheese: I adore cheese, but of course I know it's not good for the animals and for us, since is really fat and not supposed to be for humans. So even if I'm not 100% vegan, I always try for the 90% of the times to stay without any dairy or egg.
The weather was so beautiful that we decided to spend some time in the Nature, in Tiergarten, my favourite place. I actually live close to it, so I should always push myself to go there more often, because I never regret it in the end.
We then ended up playing some billiard and drinking our favourite alternative to Coca Cola, that I only found here in Germany! All this usually happens in the early afternoon because there are less people (and less people who really know to play it good haha)! I can manage to play well just if I'm fully concentrated.
That chilly pretty day ended with the sight of the pretty Berlin in the evening. It's already so chilly and summer it's defenetly gone, but those sunny days still make me feel the freedom of the summer days! I can't wait for the real autumn to come :)
Hope it wasn't too boring..
Next post will be an outfit post!

The penultimate round of action in France and Spain prior to the mid-season interval saw some significant jostling in the upper reaches of the ladder, although leaders Lyon and Athletic Bilbao maintained a hold on top spot. Meanwhile, in rather warmer conditions Down Under, the league seasons in Australia and New Zealand are heading towards their respective denouements with some familiar names battling for honours. FIFA.com reviews all the action from the past week.
France: Goal-hungry Lyon continue to feast
Lyon maintained their irrepressible form prior to the mid-season break, while second-placed Paris Saint Germain claimed an important win over perennial title challengers Juvisy. It is, however, Lyon who continue to claim the headlines with an eleventh straight win to maintain a perfect record in the league. This time the European champions overpowered Issy 8-0, with Camille Abily and Lotta Schelin each scoring twice. PSG maintained their pursuit of the runaway leaders thanks to a 2-1 win over cross-city rivals Juvisy, with in-form German attacker Linda Bresonik grabbing the winner in the dying stages. Third-placed Montpellier stumbled at home, held 1-1 by mid-table Guingamp.
Top three: (Lyon 44 points), Paris Saint Germain (37), Montpellier (34)
Australia: Champs bounce back
Reigning champions Canberra United put their title ambitions back on track after consecutive wins over the past week to create a log-jam at the summit. The team from the nation's capital edged a hard-fought one-goal win over Perth Glory in midweek, and then repeated the feat against Newcastle Jets. Victory over frontrunners Perth came on the back of a second-half winner from former USA youth international Nikki Washington, as United secured three crucial points following consecutive defeats. Canberra now sit equal second alongside Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar, with Perth two points clear. The Glory, who have never secured a finals berth in the five-year history of the league, seemed set to extend their lead at the summit only for the Roar to claim a 2-2 draw thanks to Katrina Gorry's late equaliser.
Top three: Perth Glory (16), Sydney FC, Canberra United, Brisbane Roar (all 14)
Spain: Tight tussle continues
An intriguing title race continues to play out in Spain with champions Barcelona dropping to third after playing out a scoreless draw at home against Athletic Bilbao in a top-of-the-table clash. The pair were runaway contenders for last season's crown, but the 2012/13 campaign is proving to be a very different scenario at the midway point of the season. Bilbao maintained their hold on top spot, but Atletico Madrid pushed three points clear of Barcelona into clear second with a dominant 5-1 win over struggling Llanos Olivenza. Atletico, who are the league's only unbeaten side, cruised to victory with the help of a double from Spain forward Adriana Martin. With a trip to winless Lagunak scheduled for next weekend, Bilbao seem set to take their lead at the top into the four-week mid-season break.
Top three: Athletic Bilbao (38), Atletico Madrid (35), Barcelona (33)
New Zealand: And then there were two...
Defending champions Northern will put their title on the line against cross town rivals Auckland in next weekend's final. Auckland, eyeing their first crown since 2009, needed extra time to claim a 2-1 victory over Mainland, who were toppled at the semi-final stage for the second consecutive year. Northern had a marginally easier task at home defeating Capital, with a brace from Hannah Hoeksema separating the two sides. Holding down a higher position at the end of the regular season Northern, who secured a win and a draw against their rivals during the season, will host the final.

Every month, we offer you a general forum to chat with one another about the symptoms of your multiple sclerosis. In past months, you have talked about injection site reactions, exercise and diet.
I look forward to hearing how you have been keeping this month; the trials and the triumphs.
I'm on my way out the door to Olympia (WA state capitol) for an advocacy conference sponsored by the National MS Society. We hope to inform lawmakers on several issues they will consider this session that will effect members of their constituency.
As for my MS today; I am always amazed at what the brain can do.
When I went to the MS Clinic this week, the docs found something new that has likely been there for a while but went unnoticed by me. It is likely that my brain was compensating for the shortcoming. In about half of my left eye field of vision, I experience double vision. I hadn't noticed it before; but in a clinical exam it was very obvious. That's a new one to me.
An old symptom, which had been gone for about 18 months is now back. I have acute hypersensitivity on the skin of my left side. A light touch on my right side feels like just that, a light touch. However, on my left side that same touch was like the doctor was wearing a 36-grit sandpaper glove on her hand. It was nearly painful.
I have decided to procrastinate on my decision about starting a new drug treatment. I have two and a half doses of Novantrone (mitoxantrone) left in my lifetime max. We've decided to use those over the next six months to get the disease back under control and then look at Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) or Tysabri (natalizumab).
Never do today what can be put off for another six months…
We're all wondering; How's your MS today?

toss (someone) a bone
To attempt to appease or placate someone by giving them something trivial or of minor importance, or by doing some small favor for them. (A reference to giving an animal a bone or scrap from a bigger portion of food, this phrase is a variant of the more common "throw (someone) a bone.") My younger brother is always pleading for me to help his career, so I tossed him a bone and got him a gig in some bar at the edge of town.

Social Security Benefit Cuts Would Have Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Impact on Women
By Josh Rosenblum , March 06, 2013 02:42 PM
The Social Security benefit cut known as Chained CPI remains a piece of the deficit puzzle for reasons that baffle conservatives, veterans, progressives, and almost everyone in between. The $85 billion in sequester cuts for 2013 have begun and many in Washington have still said they're willing to cut the modest Social Security benefits we've earned by $127 billion over 10 years, even though Social Security by law remains separate from the budget and its deficit. Let's give every woman and anyone who has or has ever had a mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt or girlfriend a reason to despise this wretched proposal.
This week AARP began running ads about the impact of what the Chained CPI Social Security benefit cuts would mean to women. Below is a copy of one of those ads. In the weeks ahead we'll roll out new ads showing what the cuts would mean to other groups of people. I'll also come back with even more reasons we need to kill this proposal. For anyone that sees this as a generational effort, Social Security also provides benefits for girls and boys who have lost a parent, and older Americans overwhelmingly want to see Social Security in existence for the generations that come long after them.
From AARP here are 5 reasons why the Social Security benefit cut known as Chained CPI would negatively impact women:
1. Women can least afford a cut in benefits. Women earn less on average than men, are more likely to work part-time, and are more likely to have gaps in their employment. All these factors result in lower average annual benefits for women (about $13,000) then men (about $17,000).
2. Women will face deeper cuts. The chained CPI would cut benefits more with every passing year, and women will see a greater share of these cuts since they tend to live longer and make up a larger share of the population as it ages. More than two out of three (68 percent) Social Security beneficiaries age 85+ are women.
3. Women rely more on Social Security for nearly all of their income. Women are less likely to have other sources of retirement income, such as pensions and savings, and rely more on Social Security for nearly all of their income. In 2010, 38 percent of older women age 80+ that lived in a family receiving Social Security relied on it for 90 percent or more of their income, compared to 28 percent of older men age 80+.
4. Social Security keeps women out of poverty. In 2011, Social Security kept roughly 38 percent of older women out of poverty, compare to 32 percent of older men.
5. It's less accurate. The chained CPI assumes that when the cost of something you normally buy goes up, you will substitute a lower-cost item. This theory falls short since many seniors spend much of their money on basic goods like heath care - items that rise faster than inflation and don't have lower-cost substitutes. The burden of health care spending is even greater for women (18.7 percent of income compared with 14.2 percent for men) because their benefits are lower and health care spending is higher.
To learn exactly what kind of cut the Chained CPI would take out of your income, see AARP's Chained CPI calculator here.

For a hard-charging executive like Alberto Ferraris, being named chief financial officer of an $8.7 billion company was a career-making moment--and he wasn't going to let a few nagging doubts stand in his way. Since the company was Parmalat, the Italian dairy-and-food conglomerate that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged with perpetrating "one of the largest and most brazen corporate frauds in history," and since Ferraris, 46, now faces charges of market rigging and issuing false information, he may wish he had heeded those doubts. But back in March 2003, he says, he knew the company had some financial...

BERLIN- The Seaside Dance Academy last week attended the JUMP dance convention in Washington, D.C. and returned with several individual honors along with a few scholarships to a similar event in New York City this summer.
JUMP is an international dance company that offers a competitive setting for regional studios such as Seaside, along with a weekend full of workshops taught by nationally acclaimed dance professionals. Seaside Dance Academy sent several dancers to compete and returned with numerous high score awards. In addition, many Seaside dancers were awarded scholarships for a national competition and convention in NYC this summer.
For example, Macy Layton was awarded first place in the mini top solo category, while Layton and Jenna Dolan took first place in the mini top duo category. Kendal Snyder took second place in the junior top solo category, while Snyder and Corey Van Sice took first place in the junior top duo category. Snyder and Kathryn O'Malley took second place in the junior top duo category, while the team of Kate Burkett and Haley Wolfersburger took third place in the ten top duo category.
Scholarships for the national convention in New York this summer went to O'Malley, Snyder, Layton and George Brous. Individual class scholarships went to Van Sice, Dolan and Emma Carey.

The team at Bon Yurt, a Colombian yogurt brand, went with the Let's make our ad have nothing to do with our product route - and I'm so glad they did! Their mutant glowing sound system bumps light under glowstick blood, and the results are very pretty.

This caramel syrup was, by far, the best part of the caramel cupcakes that I posted a few weeks ago, but honestly, it deserves a post of its own.
First of all, it is beautiful. Look at that gorgeous golden color! During the month or so that it lasted in my refrigerator, I would sometimes just dip a spoon into it for a quick treat.
Second of all, it's delicious. I stored mine in the fridge with a scraped-out vanilla bean pod in the container, and ended up with this amazingly vanilla-tasting caramel. So yummy!
Third of all, it's easy to make, although maybe just a little bit dangerous. But who doesn't love a recipe that makes you live on the edge, right? Just stand back from the stove when you pour in the water (and don't say I didn't warn you!).
And, last, but even more importantly, I used it my own caramel-tastic recipe, that will be coming up in a few days. Stay tuned!
Caramel Syrup
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup water
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix 1/2 cup water and sugar together, then turn on heat to highest flame. Cook until mixture is amber.
When color is achieved, cover the saucepan with tin foil and make a small hole in the cover. Pour one cup of water through the hole. After the caramel stops exploding, whisk over medium heat until the consistency is even and syrup has reduced slightly. Set aside and allow to cool. Add one vanilla bean pod for additional flavor.
Keep refrigerated for one month.

Angry Birds may teach toddlers more than Dora
Guilty of letting an electronic screen babysit your children?
Depending what's behind it, you may be able to shake some of that parenting guilt.
Queensland University of Technology researchers from the Games Research and Interaction Design lab have released a paper looking at active versus passive screen time for young children, predominantly two to five-year-olds.
What they found was not all screen time should be considered equal and while government recommendations may advise just one hour of screen time for young children a day [and none for kids under two] it didn't take into account the difference between actively engaging in a screen activity and passively absorbing media.
"The major thing we had an issue with, with the government recommendations, was they treated all types of screen time as being equivalent," Dr Penny Sweetser said.
"Whereas if you look at all the different activities which make up screen time, you could be TV viewing, using your computer, children doing their homework on a computer, reading a book using an electronic reader, playing video games on something like an iPad or engaging in physical games on something like an Xbox Kinect."
The research team proposed screen time could be divided into at least two different types – passive, in which participants are sedentary and are passively exposed to media and active, in which participants are either cognitively or physically engaged with the media.
The researchers divided active screen time further – into cognitively and physically active screen time.
"For physically active games we found that they can actually be comparable to physical exercise - similar in intensity to light to moderate walking, skipping and jogging - and they actually have a host of other benefits," Dr Sweetser said.
"They can improve academic performance, social skills and self esteem, they can motivate young children to exercise and be more active in general and they can improve their academic performance," Dr Sweetser said.
"If we look in terms of cognitive reactive, there is actually quite a substantial body of research that illustrates the benefits of active screen times in terms of children's cognitive development. Dr Sweetser said some of that research associated computer use during school years with improvements in school readiness, cognitive development, helping to facilitate social interaction and language use improvements, such as word knowledge and verbal fluency.
More specifically, video games had been linked to improved visual attention, problem solving, conductive reasoning, coordination and the tracking of multiple objects.
So while Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja is not the worst way to distract a bored child or keep them quiet long enough to finish your coffee, Dr Sweetser still recommends parental interaction.
"You might want to consider playing with them and engaging with them and making sure that the content they are using is appropriate, that is it is providing them with some sort of educational stimulation," she said.

Winn Dixie: Matthews' tale fetches $$
After taking in more than $20 million in its first two weekends, Dave Matthews' second film effort, the girl-and-her-dog-story Because of Winn Dixie, appears to have four legs at the box office, even as some critics have panned it.
"Because of Winn-Dixie doesn't have a mean bone in its body, but it's dead in the water," predicts Roger Ebert of the movie based on the best-selling children's book by Kate DiCamillo.
"Elements that may have seemed delightfully eccentric in print take on unfortunate new tones when translated to film," writes Anita Gates in the New York Times.
But while critics have nipped, audiences seem to be lapping up the story about a lonely girl and the stray dog she befriends.
"It's doing really well," says Tiffany Ryalls, assistant manager at Carmike 6 on Seminole Trail. "Kids are loving it."
Amateur reviewers writing on the Internet Movie Database, imdb.com, agree– Winn Dixie's a winner.
"Winn-Dixie is a tale rich in values with themes of forgiveness, tolerance, and hope for the future," offers one. "It is a classic story, told with imaginative eccentricity and style."
Matthews did not return the Hook's calls, but in an interview with Rebecca Murray, posted on several different websites, he expresses doubts about his own acting ability.
"I was afraid that I wasn't going to bring my share to the table, and afraid I might stink," he said. "I hope that I didn't stink too overtly."
If he did, audiences don't seem to have noticed.
"He did a wonderful job," says Carmike's Ryalls, whose favorite scene is when Matthews, playing pet-store-manager Otis, sings to the animals in his store. "It was really cute," she says.
Others agree. Matthews' performance is "understated and touching," writes one imdb.com reviewer. Another says Matthews "gives the material its most tender reading."
As for the less-than-stellar national reviews, some say just ignore them.
"Hollywood movie critics won't understand it and won't like it," explains Evan Miller on the website. "The movie doesn't try to impress them. It will do better on the home DVD release," he predicts, "than it will in the theaters."
Such was the case for Matthews' first film, Where the Red Fern Grows, based on the classic tear-jerking tome by Wilson Rawls. In fact, that movie, which began filming in 1999, never even opened. After a nearly five-year struggle during which time funding dried up, actors went on strike, contractors sued, and the child star went through puberty before filming was finished. Red Fern went straight to DVD this past January.
But Winn Dixie, made for a scant $14 million and directed by Wayne Wang (Smoke, The Joy Luck Club), has already escaped that fate.
Shot over three months in fall 2003 and launched on nearly 3,200 screens the weekend of February 19, it pulled in more than $13 million. Its second weekend brought nearly $7 million more.
While those numbers may be puppy chow compared to the $260 million Shrek 2 earned in its first two weeks, they certainly trump Gigli, the 2003 Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez dog that cost $54 million and took in just $6 million in its two-week life.
And if Winn Dixie follows the path of 2000's My Dog Skip, it could be around for awhile.
Skip, made for around $7 million, opened on just five screens in January 2000, grossing a little more than $50,000 its first weekend. In March, when it appeared on 2,133 screens around the country, the weekend take jumped to $6 million. By its closing weekend seven months later in July 2000, Skip had grossed $35 million.
If Winn Dixie retrieves that kind of cash, it's a sure bet Matthews' tail will be wagging.
Matthews penned a new song, "Butterfly," for this scene.

I think we need some kind of advanced metric to track the Ack's performance in the mean time... I'm thinking something along the lines of "Posts Above Replacement"... although that would be PAR, and as true sports fans, we should take every step possible to distance ourselves from golf.

As far as I know, nobody at the Tao is a fan of TSN's Sports Reporters (and with good reason, I suppose -- why do they insist the three reporters open the show with the stiffest and most hideous smiles as they are introduced by Dave Hodge?) The show could be immediately improved with the replacement of Steve Simmons.
Anyways, one bright spot this week was Michael Farber's comment describing Beeston's hiring of himself as "O.J. searching for the real killers."
I chuckled at that.

Darren, I've only ever seen The Reporters once. It kind of makes you wonder why they bury it in the schedule on a Sunday morning. At least it sounds like they had at least ONE good line for the show this week.

They also put in on immediately following the ESPN version, so it suffers from comparison and they often end up talking about the same things -- except no hockey on the ESPN version and no US college sports on the TSN version.
Speaking of the ESPN reporters, I really want to see Mitch Albom's ears in their full glory -- although I fear I could lose my sanity if I did.

AURORA, Colo. -- Navy officials say one of the people killed in a Colorado movie theater shooting was a Navy veteran.
Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello says 26-year-old Jonathan T. Blunk of Aurora, Colo., served three tours of duty between 2004 and 2009.
Military officials have also identified two active servicemembers, 27-year-old Navy sailor John Larimer of Crystal Lake, Ill. and 29-year-old Air Force reservist Jesse Childress Thornton, Colo., as two the 12 victims.
Larimer was a Navy cryptologist at nearby Buckley Air Force Base. Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski says four other sailors were at the theater, including one who was injured and treated at the scene.
Air Force officials say Childress was a cyber-systems operator based at Buckley. Another Air Force airman from the base was wounded during the shooting.
