From the Muslim woman wearing a hijab, the Hollywood star wearing a see-through gown, the "modesty" programs of the Catholic Church for young women, the "shoulders covered" policy for reporters at the House of Representatives, or proper make up for aspiring corporate leaders, women continue to be bombarded with opinions on what is appropriate or inappropriate attire. This insistence upon the "correct" forms of female dress and make up is an example of the continued subjugation of women in the public arena.
Over many years and within many cultures insistence that women and girls dress "appropriately" has been a way to control women's behavior in both the public and private spheres. Imagine trying to run from danger with bound feet, exercising in a hoopskirt, or speaking publicly while half-suffocated by a corset. Nineteenth century feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton made the connection thus: "Her tight waist and long trailing skirts deprive her of all freedom."
What is more, focusing on a woman's appearance or dress is a time-honored way of diminishing her credibility. For example, in the 1850s Amelia Bloomer promoted an outfit that later was named after her. The "bloomers" form of dress was basically pantaloons under a dress, so women could wear shorter skirts and move about more freely. While some praised the outfit as being healthy and practical, the wider society rejected it as a "usurpation of the rights of man," in other words, incompatible with proper women's roles in nineteenth century society. Eventually, bloomers became associated with the women's rights movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other feminists were early adopters, but Stanton quickly abandoned it, as it provoked much public derision and she felt it was distracting from her message.
Things are much the same in the twenty-first century. We have recently observed much public discourse over appropriate and inappropriate forms of dress for women in the United States in the political, corporate, religious, and celebrity media cultures.
In the political realm, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton wore pantsuits, and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin wore skirts. Clinton was criticized for dressing in a "masculine" style and Palin was made into a quasi sex symbol for her attractive looks and more feminine clothing. Of course, Palin wasn't immune to criticism either. The cost of her clothing and accessories was scrutinized. Palin herself recognized the issue and was quoted as saying, " [It's about] superficial things that they don't talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles. That's a bit of that double standard."
Also, in the political realm, a news story recently highlighted the dress code for women covering the House of Representatives, where women were turned away from the "Speaker's lobby" (a room designated for reporters) for wearing sleeveless dresses. It was considered inappropriate for shoulders to be uncovered, even in a hot and humid location like Washington, DC.
In the corporate arena, a recent issue of the St. Louis Business Journal proclaimed the advancement of women in St. Louis public companies. There were many laudatory articles on local women's corporate advancement. However, in that same issue, an advertisement for a program on "Manners & Makeovers" offered to educate women on presenting a polished personal appearance, including the application of makeup for a professional daytime look. The program was part of Maryville University's "Women & Leadership" offering. Seriously? A University considering proper makeup part of women's leadership? Get your makeup right and you, too, can climb the corporate ladder? Is Maryville's sponsorship tantamount to agreeing that a woman should be judged by her looks? Or is it simply acknowledging how the world works and teaching women to cope with the (admittedly unfair) standards we are stuck with for the time being?
In exploring several religious areas, the "Manners & Makeovers" expert touts her involvement with a Catholic organization, Pure Fashion, which seeks to create a "fun, exciting and effective virtue formation program" for young girls. The organization considers itself part of the "Modesty Movement" for women and girls. One of the core members of the Pure Fashion team, Brenda Shaman, shared her testimony of "her conversion to the Catholic Church, and how she invited Christ into her closet!"
Macy's Department Stores recently discovered the lucrative Muslim market and have created a line of fashionable clothing incorporating the hijab. The hijab (headscarf) is somewhat controversial. Some see it as either positive or innocuous: a part of a religiously encouraged form of modesty, allowing women to be free from the lustful gazes of men. For other women, particularly American women, it is a symbol of oppression.
Looking at celebrities in the media, the female attendees at the Grammys and Golden Globes award shows are criticized for exposed cleavage, thighs and transparent gowns.
What does a modern woman choose—modesty or sexual objectification? How is the female political candidate to balance being likeable and exhibiting strength? Pants or short skirts? Smiles or strong words? How is the Hollywood aspiring actress to pursue her need to be seen and appeal to casting directors? Is her sexual self-objectification necessary to procure publicity to advance her career?
Who constructs and maintains these dress codes? Paul Ryan in the House of Representatives? Harvey Weinstein's successors in Hollywood? The Catholic Church? Islam? A "Modesty and Manners" expert? If women hide their bodies, are they serving patriarchal interests? Or if women flaunt their beautiful bodies and become sexual objects, who does that serve? I suggest both options serve men.
Do these conflicted attitudes about proper women's attire mirror our cultural conflict about women as leaders? Should women adopt the burqa so that our bodies are hidden and only our faces are visible? Or should we just take classes on the proper daytime professional makeup? These are weighty questions to be considered with the utmost deliberation.
A better question might be, why are women's wardrobes being policed? Women have been oppressed by the continual and conflicting judgments of what is and what is not proper attire. Who invited the patriarchy into our closets? I don't think he was invited, but he keeps elbowing his way in.

2018 Boys Devon Level Championships
The under 8 years of age team from Plymouth consisted of Oscar Westbury, Alex Jones and Dylan Philpott and with new skills in their routines they were eager to perform. Dylan competed many solid routines and his parallel bar routine was a particular highlight and with teammate Alex top scoring on the high bar they were setting their targets high. The final team member Oscar Westbury competed brilliantly and with standout performances on the pommel horse and parallel bars combined with minimal errors on piece of apparatus we were thrilled to see standing in silver medal on the podium and only 0.1 tenth behind 1st position. Their combined score also place them in 2nd position, well done boys for such a fabulous result.
The next round saw Hayden Woodhouse, Joe Dennis and Calvin Harper competing in the under 10 competition. Again, these gymnasts have shown huge progression and although Calvin is a year younger he still impressed with new skills and the drive to compete. Calvin has improved many of his weakness and this resulted in him finishing in silver medal position for the under 9 category. Next up was Joe Dennis who is flourishing with his gymnastics and with more competitions and experience he not only enjoyed the competition but performed consistent and accurate all round routines. This holistic approach cumulated with him earning a thoroughly well deserved silver medal. The last competitor in that group was Hayden and with him top scoring on the rings, parallel bars and high bar is was no surprise that he finished top of the top in gold medal position. All the boys worked tirelessly for this competition and it was wonderful to see this hard work pay off. Added to their individual success they also finished in team silver medal position. A fantastic result boys.
The final team Plymouth had to offer was the under 12 team which consisted of Jake Stanley, Eiger Swanscow and Jack Stewart. Special mention must go to Jack Stewart as he should have been competing in the under 10 category but to enable an under 12 team he step up an age group. Although Jack had a couple of errors he still managed to secure the second highest high bar routine and most certainly did not look out of place in the older category. Team mate Eiger also competed many new skills and a fantastic pommel routine showed how much he has improved since his last competition. The final gymnast saw Jake Stanley go from strength to strength with his confidence and routines and when this was combined with the highest scores on the rings and parallel bars we were not surprised to see him finish in gold medal position. Congratulations Jake.
Plymouth had only one competitor in the Level 4 under 10 competition but nonetheless James Gale competed at this higher standard of competition fabulously. With few errors and great attention to detail we were thrilled how well James has improved and were delighted with his silver medal performance.
As always a huge thank you must go to how hard these boys work and the commitment both themselves and their parents give. Well done boys on such a great result.

You can break your audio recordings into sections to highlight an important point or a change in topic. Sections are displayed with an alternating background shade. The base colour for the two shades is set in App Menu → System → Settings → Themes. Here you can also alter the shading differential i.e. make the contrast between sections larger or smaller, and specify whether a line is shown between sections.
Section breaks are equivalent to index marks used by digital recorders. Audio Notetaker will recognise index marks from some digital recorders on import (see Index Marks)
The main section button and it's drop-down menu allow you to add and remove sections, insert new sections above and below as well as push any remaining text or audio in the section.
The behavior of some of these functions will depend on what you are doing in Audio Notetaker (playing back, recording, or editing) and which Pane currently has focus (focus is indicated by the Pane Header being blue).
Main Section Button
Shortcuts: ENTER (from audio pane), CTRL ENTER or F12
While playing back or recording audio the main section button will always add a section break at the audio cursor position (regardless of which pane has focus).
- If there is a section, without audio already below, then your chunks will be pushed into that section, otherwise a new section will be created.
- If you are not playing or recording audio then the main section button will add a section break wherever you are currently working, Image, Reference, Text or Audio Pane.
- If there is an empty section below (Pane with focus only) then any content after the cursor will be pushed into the next section otherwise a new section will be created.
You can also move the audio cursor to the section boundary cursor by clicking at the very start of the sections audio or pressing HOME; adding a section now, inserts one above.
Dropdown Menu
All drop-down menu items are applied to the active cursor in whichever pane you are currently working in (even when playing or recording audio).
- Insert Section Break Above and below always create new sections without moving any content or your cursor.
Remove Section
Shortcut: CTRL + F12 or Backspace (from the audio pane).
You can remove a section break from any pane. Normally this will merge the contents of the two sections. However as there can only be one image per section you will see an error message if there are two images.
While recording and with focus in the Audio Pane, remove section will not remove the break but will push the audio back to the previous section. This leaves all section breaks in place along with any text and images; you can then edit these after recording.
Push Audio / Text
You can push any audio or text after the current active cursor into the section below with Push Audio or Push Text. Everything is pushed to the beginning of the next section.
Sections without Audio
You can have sections without any audio in; this allows you to setup your sections before recording. This is particularly useful if you have access to PowerPoint slides beforehand (see Importing Slides). When the speaker changes slides during recording, you can use Section Button to move the audio into the next section, as Audio Notetaker won't create a new section if an empty (of audio) one already exists.
If necessary, you can manually add an empty section above or below; Use the Section Dropdown menu, or position the cursor at the very start of the section (press HOME), so that you get a Section Boundary Cursor, in the audio pane. Then, Inserting a section break will add an empty section above the current section.
Adjusting Audio around Section Boundaries
You may want to adjust exactly where a section boundary falls in the audio, as it can be hard to get the section break in the right place when recording live or using the Indexing on your recorder. All you need to do is highlight the audio chunks you want to move and drag them around the audio pane.

After going out with Boba, I had been furious. I hate being made to look stupid, and to be treated like a disposable nonentity before I had an honest chance to make an idiot of myself was a real punch to the gut.
I was commiserating with a single friend about the inept state of mankind (us single girls like to refer you all as "morons" every once in a while, sorry). She said, "Someone has to teach them manners." But I realized it's not about that.
Boba was a highly placed, successful professional. No one can get to such a position without knowledge of manners. He has a boss he has to kiss up to, clients he has to charm, workmates he has to stay on the good side of. He knows his manners.
Yet Boba believes that manners are only when one needs something. The shadchan who set us up believed him to be decorous and chivalrous, because he found it to his benefit to be mannerly to her. But being decent to me, a girl he already decided he had no interest in, is not worthy of any effort on his part. Because if he "tries," and will "get nothing" out of it, then he thinks he looks stupid.
How sad.
He is one of those sad, sad people who perceive decorum as the equivalent of "sucker" scribbled in marker across a forehead. That the world will laugh if he exerts himself for someone he may never see again. Therefore, he will reject me before I can possibly reject him.
Boba, I just want to say: I pity you. Because I have never regretted being kind, even if it was thrown back in my face. Decency and consideration are more for me than the other person, the same way Moshe Rabbeinu displayed gratitude to inanimate water and sand. It's not about the water and sand. It was Moshe's way of sensitizing himself. I want to be the best I can be, and that means smiling and swallowing deserved retorts when I am on a date with someone who keeps on looking at his phone and complaining how the office cannot function without his presence (which I find highly unlikely, but if so, the obvious solution would be to schedule the date for Sunday).
Here we part ways, Boba. You may not believe it, but I pity you. Yes, you.

The days before Durga puja at kumartuli, Kolkata are very busy. The idols are loaded on trucks. For months the artists work hard to finish the idols and then they are ready to go to the respective pandals. Here is a short film about idols being loaded on trucks.
Hand pulled rickshaws
Heavy rainfall and water logging
Kolkata experienced one of the heaviest rainfalls this year. I haven't seen such rainfall in years. Continuous heavy rain. A 3 hour downpour made the city come to a standstill. There is no way the water can drain out. The ponds, lakes and canals are already over flooded.
But the city loves rain. Kids love rain. Its amazing to see the kids enjoying the water logging. Deliberately splashing water and getting wet.
Below is a small video of the water logging in south Kolkata.

text: HI-SO is the Thai term for the social and financial upper class — and the protagonist of this nebulous, meandering arthouse picture is clearly a member of this elite. But, perhaps because of his privileged upbringing, Ananda (Ananda Everingham) doesn't quite fit in anywhere. The film, which is the second feature from Aditya Assarat, is divided into two halves: the first takes place on the set of a film in which Ananda is acting; the second, six months or so later. It's beautiful to look at but infuriatingly elusive and inconclusive. Aditya Assarat, PG, 102min

Good Morning Friends!
Well, day two of what appears to something like a 6 day stretch of clouds and rain here in New York - glad this rain won't be impacting the severe flooding on the Mississippi, though we do get flooding out here as well. I hope that wherever you might be, you stay safe!
Still wondering if the tweaks I made to the TES format are going to be restored by Blogger...at least I didn't lose some posts as some did.
This weekend was full of some excellent sporting action, and we are going to lead with something that I didn't see coming - filed in the "Other Sports" category. And that is - track and field!
Yes, a sport near and dear to my heart, in no small part due to my involvement in 3 of the 6 straight Iowa state titles that Ames High won between 1986 and 1991. Yup, a long time ago, but I will be using that experience as I work on getting myself back into better shape over the coming months. It's worth mentioning today, as the Iowa Hawkeyes completed an amazing run on Sunday to claim their first Big Ten team title since 1967. And, as it should be, the battle for the title (between us and the Golden Rodents) came down to the final race - the 4x400. There, the Hawks placed 2nd to the Gophers 3rd, and the difference in points gave Iowa the team title at 125.5-123. Click the link for a picture of your Big Ten 2011 Track and Field Champions,
All right then, back to the wider world of sports, the first games in the hockey conference finals are complete, and the Bolts and Canucks both have 1-0 leads. Last night, Vancouver rallied with 2 in the 3rd to top the Sharks 3-2, on Saturday night the Lightning used a 3-1 1st period lead to cruise to a 5-2 victory over Boston. In the ever perplexing world of tv scheduling you would think that game 2 would be tonight, but you would be wrong. It's Tuesday night, 8:00 eastern, on Versus. Your west game 2 is at 9:00 on Wednesday.
In the NBA, the home court made the difference, as the Thunder were able to put away Memphis 105-90 to win the series 4-3 and set up the west finals against Dallas. In the east, the Bulls laid a suffocating defense on the Heat in the 4th to win game 1, 103-82. No games on the hardwood tonight either, the west kicks off Tuesday night, and the east series resumes in Chicago on Wednesday. Guess this is about the time I can kind of start to care about the NBA and watch some of these games, both series have some serious star power to them.
There sure was a lot of attention out here this weekend, with the Red Sox in town, and the Yankees dealing with Posada-Gate. In the end, the Yanks were swept by the Sox and all seemed calm within the New York clubhouse after apologies were made. Yet today there is more as the Yankee front office is ticked at Jeter (himself on the very obvious down slide), as the Captain spoke up for his catcher/DH yesterday. Sigh, you would think with those MLB guaranteed contracts, people would just be happy to put on the uniform.
The weather put the kibosh on three MLB games Sunday, and the offense got the better of the pitchers in the games that were played. (Except for the Dodgers offense, anemic again in a 4-1 loss to Arizona, to fall back 3 games below .500. The Brewers come to LA tonight, this would be a good time for the Dodger hitters to find their swings). In Golden Rodent land, Toronto's Jose Bautista belted 3 homers with 4 RBIs to sweep the Twins. Weather permitting, 15 games on the docket toady, and all of them are under the lights.
Across the pond Man-U sealed their 19th Premiership title over the weekend, that is the most in the league. Meanwhile, the season wraps up this week, with two of the three spots for relegation still in play. You think being, oh, a Royals fan would be hard!
The Player's ended up going to overtime, as K.J. Choi and David Toms both finished at 13 under. They went back to the island 17th, and there Choi was able to par it (Toms, bogey), to claim the title and a cool $1.7 million for 4 days work. The pros are off now to Ft. Worth for the Crowne Plaza, where Iowa City kid Zach Johnson is the defending champ.
That's it for today, if your weather is like mine, it's a good week to just hunker down, fire up the tv, and find a game.

The love of sports is shared across the generations, and there are few things as fun as debating the merits of certain players, strategies, and team histories with other, opposing sports nuts.

Planetizen Newswire
Keep up with essential planning news and commentary, delivered to your inbox every Monday and Thursday.
Healthy, or Unhealthy, by Design
"A few months ago, we talked about how a great city can be like a great running buddy, calling us to venture outdoors into more active, satisfying lifestyles. The photo-essay accompanying that conversation was on the urbanity of Wilmington, North Carolina. Last week, we were in another North Carolina town, Fuquay-Varina, working to create just those sorts of tightly-gridded, walkable streets connecting convivial, complete neighborhoods. Then perhaps the temptation to walk, bike, and run can overcome the lethargy of our modern lifestyle."
"This time around, there wasn't the deeply satisfying urbanism found in Wilmington within running distance from our hotel. Instead, I found a kind and interesting Town leader to run with me in the mornings, so the company and results were well worth the effort. However, 'once around the block' was three miles, so clearly not the ideal walkable place."
Borys goes on to discuss methods for repairing, regenerating, and restoring "transit repellent" and "active lifestyle repellent" patterns into walkable, runable, bikeable places.

Requesting information from your Vet
Requesting Information (e.g. X-rays) from your Vet
It can sometimes be a struggle getting your x-rays or other information from your vets so I have put together this short document to show you your rights.
First, IF YOU PAID FOR YOUR X-RAYS THEY ARE YOURS AND THEY MUST GIVE YOU A COPY
Second, any other information they hold about you and/or your horse they must divulge to you on request on payment of a maximum admin fee of £10.
Here's the law and a link to the RCVS website:
With regards to client records and radiographic images, the supporting guidance to the Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinary Surgeons states:
13.5 Where a client has been specifically charged and has paid for radiographic images or other reports, they are legally entitled to them. A practice may choose to make it clear to clients that they are not charged for radiographs or laboratory reports, but for diagnosis or advice only.
13.6 The Data Protection Act 1998 gives anyone the right to be informed about any personal data relating to themselves on payment of an administration charge. At the request of a client, veterinary surgeons must provide copies of any relevant clinical and client records, including radiographic images and similar documents. This also includes relevant records which have come from other practices, if they relate to the same animal and the same client, but does not include records which relate to the same animal but a different client.

Hi loves,
We have made it to the end of the week, the end of Mercury retrograde , and almost the end of the month. How has it been for you? Many changes have happened, many changes are ahead. And what is very common during such fast energetic movements and the periods of many breakthroughs, is that we often get new Spirit Guides.
How do we know that? We feel different, we are being asked to look at things from a vastly different perspective, we feel like we are changing careers or are about to, our interests and hobbies are shifting, we are being guided to a new direction. All of these signs usually yield new or additional Spirit Guides. And in such turbulent times it always feels amazing to establish personal contact with them, to know them by name, to know how their energy feels like so that we can easily access it.
In this short video I share with you a quick and easy visualization to help you meet your spirit guide. I have walked countless clients through this process over the phone or Skype, and all of them have been successful. I have also used this process myself numerous times.
The most important part of it all is your intention and your belief that what you can get is actually real. A lot of the times you can ask your guides to help you with physical sensations, goosebumps, chills and such. All can be indicators of alignment with your internal TRUTH. But then if you are well into your journey, a lot of the times you will be asked to just believe, as that in itself is a big lesson.
Have fun with it, and let me know how it works for you or if you are having any troubles. I love you and hope you have an amazing end of the week.
Love, Katya <3

As we reflect on 2017, many moments serve as vivid reminders of the challenges we face in our vision of a world free of lung disease, as well as the amazing power we have as an organization to bring about change. Because of the wonderful individuals, families, foundations and businesses all impacted by our mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, the American Lung Association has been able to make tremendous strides in the Southeast, such as receiving a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
Our LUNG FORCE initiative has helped to unite women and their loved ones to stand together against lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. Because of your support we have been able to improve awareness of lung cancer and serve as a force working to defeat lung cancer.
We have worked diligently in the Southeast to provide comprehensive programs and educational resources such as Frankly Speaking about Lung Cancer, Asthma Educator Institute, Asthma Camps, Freedom from Smoking and LUNG FORCE Expos. With your assistance, we have partnered with communities to help save lives and remain committed to support lung health and healthy air.
Our fight today is critical. We never take breathing for granted, because millions of Americans fight for each breath. On behalf of our volunteer leadership and staff, we thank you.
Thank you,

The time for preventative roof maintenance is now, before the dark days of winter truly set in. While a great roofing company can take care of your roofing needs all year long, it's always easier to prevent problems before snow and ice become a part of everyday life. Here's what you can do to get your home and roof winter-ready, and prevent problems before they start.
The first step to roof maintenance: preventative care
Before the snow starts to fall consistently, have your roof professionally inspected. If there is any damage that requires repairs, now is the time to identify it and get it taken care of. Your roof deserves an expert eye, and Cenvar Roofing (formerly Lynchburg Roofing) is here to offer that to you and help you get ahead of any problems that may be developing.
Clear your roof and gutters of debris
Before the mercury dips below freezing, clean your roof of any plant debris. Leaves and branches left of your roof can lead to leaks and ice dams throughout the winter. It's also time to give your gutters a thorough clean-up. Clogged gutters and downspouts can lead to problems, especially when icy precipitation starts to fall. Ideally, you should have your gutters thoroughly cleaned twice a year.
Have gutter guards installed
Gutter guards are a great way to keep your gutters and downspouts clean and clear all year round. While they can be a bit more expensive at the outset, they can protect the life of your gutters and save you significant time in the long run.
Consider having your trees trimmed
If your home has a lot of overhanging trees, consider having them professionally trimmed in preparation for the winter months. Though wide, leafy boughs are a shady asset during the summer months, heavy, snow-laden branches can become a liability in the winter. Regular trimming is healthy for your trees, and protects the investment of your roof as well.
Have your insulation inspected
Wet or damaged insulation in your attic can lead to mold growth, a chilly, drafty home, and higher energy costs during cold weather. Make sure your insulation is in tip-top condition before the temp really starts to drop.

They always come in threes
It's been a good week for bigot-spotters. First, we had Vladimir Putin saying that gay people could come to the Olympics just as long as they didn't give Russian children the gay. Apparently, just a word of affection for a member of the same sex is liable to set off an epidemic of homosexuality throughout the country – won't someone ban this sick filth!!!
Then Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni blocked legislation to introduce life imprisonment for homosexuality, because there were better ways of dealing with the "abnormality", such as killing them. Such a great ally to the cause! He also claimed that some people become homosexual for "mercenary reasons", which might explain the apparent ease with which Russian children can be turned. Read More…
Welby's self-awareness is too little, too late
On Wednesday, Justin Welby "came out" in his own way. And what a very strange and inconsistent way it was. Speaking to the Evangelical Alliance, a group with little sympathy for gay rights even if evangelical laity are now pretty much evenly split on the issue, the Archbishop accepted that his opposition to the new same-sex legislation was alienating the church from the younger generation, who see it as "wicked". He could have chosen a less ambiguous word in the context, but the overall message was clear.
Later, Welby went on to explain that the old man who lives in the Vatican turns out to be a Catholic, and that bears continue to shun modern flushing toilet facilities which fundamentally redefine the act, preferring the traditional, divinely approved form of a bush in the woods. Read More…
Religion is no excuse for bigotry
"I'm really sorry, I don't hate you and I'm not a bigot, but I can't deny what the Bible says."
If you haven't heard this sort of apology much in the past, get used to it now, because you're going to hear it a lot in the next few years. With same-sex marriage on the final stretch towards full legal approval in the UK, there are plenty of people who will be making excuses for their refusal to accept this fact, and particularly their contortions to avoid using the word "marriage" to describe any relationship they don't approve of.
I've been in a similar position myself, and tried to apologise for my views while continuing to promote them and marginalise people as a result. I understand the explanation, and it's superficially appealing, but it doesn't really stand up. Read More…
How not to persevere: a case study from the Church of England
The Church of England has hardly been shy of expressing an opinion on same-sex marriage, having fought against it tooth and nail, describing the very idea as an outrageous imposition which destroys marriage as we know it. But this week, having been soundly defeated in the Lords despite some outspoken criticisms of the bill, the good old CofE has suddenly started to make rather more accommodating noises.
Obviously, I welcome the fact that the church has belatedly recognised that they're fighting a losing battle, and that the will of both houses is clearly in favour of the legislation. But if it's a vital issue of morality and fundamental definitions of terms they believe are Christian ones (as they've consistently argued), it would be utterly bizarre to relax your opinion and stop fighting based on a simple matter of popularity. It makes me wonder what Bible they're reading. Read More…
How Lord Carey made millions of Christians simply vanish
I always sit up and take notice when Lord Carey speaks. Admittedly, that's because I expect him to say something I'll want to be incredibly rude about, but I imagine he'd be pleased that he's not being completely ignored.
His latest intervention is no exception to that rule, although his spat with David Cameron at least manages to be entertaining. The sight of the two of them blaming each other for a rising tide of secularism based on their own peculiar definitions of what secularism actually means is like two bald men fighting over a comb that doesn't even exist.
My first instinct was to write about Carey's belief that he's being persecuted, but I think the people at Newsthump have dealt with that pretty effectively. Then I thought about obliterating Carey's description of "aggressive secularism", a concept on a par with militant fairness or angry non-discrimination, and possibly inspired by Chomsky's nonsense sentence "colourless green ideas sleep furiously", but Dean Burnett did it better than I could have done.

The hypocrisy of Keith O'Brien is too easy a target
Hypocrisy (n)
1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
2. The practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one's real character or actual behaviour, esp the pretence of virtue and piety
Keith O'Brien, everyone's favourite recently retired Scottish ex-cardinal, has issued a statement relating to the accusations made against him by four young priests, dating back many years. He admits to general failings, remaining uncommunicative on the specific allegations. While the statement is carefully worded, I think we can take that as an admission to the essence of the claims, if not the details. Read More…

Allen Jessee is our Lead Pastor at Highlands Fellowship.

He loves investing in the next generation every chance he gets. He believes in leadership and equipping everyone he meets to make them a better leader and follower of Christ..
Jim worked for 37 years at Eastman Chemical in various leadership roles in their Global Supply Chain. Jim has held management positions at their Longview site, the Latin America regional office in Miami, the corporate office in Kingsport and the EMEA regional office in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Jim joined Highlands Fellowship in September 2015 as the Missions Director after much prayer and several conversations with Pastor Allen and other leaders. Jim became the Executive Pastor in December of 2016 and is passionate about church health and a strategic focus that enables the church body to reach our local and global communities for Christ fulfilling the Great Commandment and Great Commission.
Jim and his wife, Teresa, live in Johnson City, Tennessee. Teresa is a retired school counselor and is currently pursuing her professional counseling license at Milligan. They have a son, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren in Davis, California, and a son, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren in Orange County, California. Jim is an avid golfer, runner, and hiker.
Steven has been with Highlands Fellowship since its inception. Steven's brother Jimmie, founding pastor of Highlands invited Steven to join him in service before the church had a building or even a name. In obedience to God, Steven left his chosen career path to come along side his brother to reach the unchurched.
When Steven said 'yes', he never imagined the exciting journey God would take him on over the next 22 years. He has served in every capacity needed throughout his tenure at Highlands, from leading worship to being the Worship/Creative Arts Pastor as well as serving in a Campus Pastor role. Due to his insight and ability to lead and motivate others, he was asked to transition to the role of Executive Operations Pastor which he currently serves in today.
He and his wife Tabitha live in Blountville, Tennessee with their sweet toy poodle Miley. Tabitha is a Nurse Practitioner in Gastroenterology, but also enjoys being a worship leader for Highlands which is where she and Steven first met! They've enjoyed serving in ministry together for over 17 years and in their spare time love the outdoors, traveling, camping, and boating.
The most important attribute Steven hopes to inspire in the people he serves alongside is that no matter what role you have in ministry always give God your best and set goals that can only be achieved through God sized courage.

Hi there! It's a gloriously beautiful spring day here in Alabama…there's a cool breeze blowing, the sun is shining, the birdies are chirping, and big puffy white clouds are drifting across the bluest sky you ever saw. It makes my heart sing just to look out the window. In fact, I think I'll take my project out on the porch in a little while and stitch. 🙂

Roy Edward Disney KCSG (January 10, 1930 – December 16, 2009)[1] was a longtime senior executive for The Walt Disney Company, which was founded by his father, Roy Oliver Disney, and his uncle, Walt Disney. At the time of his death he held more than 16 million shares (about 1% of the company),[2] and served as a consultant for the company, as Director Emeritus for the Board of Directors. He is perhaps best known for organizing the ousting of two top Disney executives: Ron Miller in 1984, and Michael Eisner in 2005.
As the last member of the Disney family to be actively involved in the company, Roy Disney was often compared to his uncle and father. In 2006, Forbes magazine estimated his personal fortune at $1.2 billion.[3]
Disney was also a celebrated yachtsman,[4] a member of the San Diego Yacht Club best known for his success in the Transpacific Yacht Race.
Early life and career[edit]
Disney was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Edna (née Francis; 1890-1984) and Roy Oliver Disney (1893-1971), the brother of Walt Disney. He graduated from Pomona College in 1951 and first began working for Walt Disney Productions as an assistant director and producer (True-Life Adventure). He continued until 1967 when he was elected to the company's Board of Directors.
First "Save Disney" campaign (1984)[edit]
Roy Disney resigned as an executive from Walt Disney Productions in 1977 over disagreements with corporate decisions. As he claimed later, "I just felt creatively the company was not going anywhere interesting. It was very stifling."[5]
He retained a seat on the board of directors until 1984, when he resigned in the midst of a corporate takeover battle. This began a series of events that ultimately led to the replacement of Ron Miller (husband of Walt's daughter Diane Marie Disney) by Frank Wells and Michael Eisner as president and CEO, respectively. While investors were attempting the hostile takeover of Disney with the intention of dismantling the company and selling off its assets, Roy and his attorney and financial advisor Stanley Gold organized a consortium of white knight investors to fend off the takeover attempts. With the introduction of Wells and Eisner, Roy returned to the company as vice chairman and chairman of the animation department, which became Walt Disney Feature Animation.[6] Roy E. Disney's first "Save Disney" campaign against Miller was chronicled by John Taylor in the book, Storming The Magic Kingdom.
Partnership with Eisner[edit]
During the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, Roy's department produced a number of commercially successful, critically acclaimed films, an era which has been called the "Disney Renaissance". The Lion King, for instance, garnered nearly $1 billion[7] following its release in the summer of 1994[8] and was the second highest-grossing film of the year. Despite this, Disney experienced a marked decline in profits beginning in the late 1990s as it expanded into lower-grossing, though still profitable direct-to-video spin-offs and sequels.
Roy was concerned about Jeffrey Katzenberg taking too much credit for the success of Disney's early 1990s releases.[6][9] When Frank Wells died in a helicopter crash in 1994,[10] Michael Eisner refused to promote Katzenberg to the vacated position of president. Eisner recalled that "Roy [Walt Disney's nephew and a force on Disney's board who Eisner says "could be a troublemaker"], who did not like him at all — I forget the reason, but Jeffrey probably did not treat him the way that Roy would have wanted to be treated — said to me, 'If you make him the president, I will start a proxy fight.'"[11] Tensions between Katzenberg, Eisner and Disney resulted in Katzenberg's resignation from the company that October. Katzenberg launched a lawsuit against Disney to recover money he felt he was owed and settled out of court for an estimated $250 million.[12]
On October 16, 1998, in a surprise presentation made at the newly unveiled Disney Legends Plaza at the company's headquarters, Eisner presented Roy with the prestigious Disney Legends Award. Roy Disney's pet project was the film Fantasia 2000, a sequel to his uncle's 1940 animated movie Fantasia. Walt Disney had planned a sequel to the original movie but it wasn't until December 17, 1999, that it was finally released, after nine years of production under Roy. Like its predecessor, the film combined high-quality contemporary animation and classical music but also suffered at the U.S box office.[citation needed]
Second "Save Disney" campaign (2003–2005)[edit]
After relations with Eisner began to sour, Roy Disney's influence began to wane as important executive posts were filled by those friendly to Eisner. When the board of directors rejected Disney's request for an extension of his term as a member, he announced his resignation on November 30, 2003, citing "serious differences of opinion about the direction and style of management" in the company. He issued a letter criticizing Eisner's alleged mismanagement, neglect of the studio's animation division, failures with ABC, timidity in the theme park business, corporate mentality in the executive structure turning the Walt Disney Company into a "rapacious, soul-less" conglomerate, and refusal to establish a clear succession plan.[13]
After his resignation, Disney helped establish the website SaveDisney.com, intended to oust Michael Eisner and his supporters from their positions and revamp the Walt Disney Company. On March 3, 2004, at Disney's annual shareholders' meeting, a surprising 43% of Disney's shareholders, predominantly rallied by Roy Disney and fellow former board member Stanley Gold, voted to oppose the re-election of Eisner to the corporate board of directors. This vigorous opposition, unusual in major public corporations, persuaded Disney's board to replace Eisner as chairman with George J. Mitchell; he did, however, remain as chief executive. This "Save Disney" campaign regarded Mitchell himself unfavorably and in the same election 25% of shareholders opposed Mitchell's re-election to the board.
As criticism of Eisner intensified in the wake of the shareholder meeting, his position became increasingly tenuous, culminating on March 13, 2005 with the announcement of Eisner's resignation as CEO effective September 30, one year before his contract would expire. On July 8, Roy and the Walt Disney Company, agreed to "put aside their differences." Roy rejoined the board as a non-voting Director Emeritus and consultant. Roy and Gold consequently shut down their SaveDisney.com website effective August 7 that year.
As announced, on September 30, Eisner resigned both chief executive and a member of the board. Severing all formal ties with the company, he waived his contractual rights to perks such as use of a corporate jet, a Golden Pass and an office at the company's Burbank headquarters. Bob Iger, Eisner's long-time lieutenant, who had been effectively running the company, now assumed the title of CEO. One of Roy Disney's stated reasons for engineering his second "Save Disney" initiative had been Eisner's well-publicized disputes with long-time production partner Pixar Animation Studios and its CEO Steve Jobs, with whom Disney had produced such computer animated hits as Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, which were both critically acclaimed and financially successful for both partners. Iger quickly repaired the estrangement, and on January 24, 2006, the company announced the acquisition of Pixar in an all-stock deal worth $7.4 billion. This deal made Jobs, best known as co-founder and CEO of Apple, Inc, Disney's largest shareholder with 7% of all outstanding shares and gave him a new seat on Disney's board of directors. Eisner, who retained 1.7% of shares, became Disney's second-largest shareholder, followed by Roy Disney, with 1% of shares. Disney's second "Save Disney" campaign against Eisner was chronicled by James B. Stewart in his best-selling book, DisneyWar.

Personal life[edit]
Disney held several sailing speed records, including the Los Angeles to Honolulu monohull time record. He set it on his boat Pyewacket in July 1999 (7 days, 11 hours, 41 minutes, 27 seconds).[16]
On January 19, 2007, after beginning a relationship with Leslie DeMeuse, Roy Disney (then 77 years old) filed for divorce from his wife, Patricia (then 72), citing "irreconcilable differences", according to court documents. The couple, married 52 years, had been living apart for an unspecified amount of time, according to the Los Angeles County Superior Court filing. They had four adult children: Timothy "Tim" Disney, Roy Patrick Disney, Abigail Disney, and Susan Disney Lord.[17]
In 2008, Roy Disney married DeMeuse, a CSTV producer, and Emmy winner of various sailing documentaries. The two created the sailing documentary TransPac—A Century Across the Pacific in 2000, and were executive producers of the sailing documentary Morning Light, which follows the selection and training of 18- to 23-year-old sailors on the 2007 Transpacific Yacht Race.[citation needed]
Disney died of stomach cancer on December 16, 2009, at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, California. He was 79 years old, three weeks shy of his 80th birthday, and had been battling the disease for over a year. He was cremated after his funeral service, and his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.[1]
On January 4, 1998, Pope John Paul II made Disney a Knight Commander of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great (KCSG).[18]
On January 1, 2000, Disney participated as the Grand Marshal of the 111th Rose Parade.[19]
On April 26, 2008, Disney received an honorary doctorate from the California Maritime Academy "for his many contributions to the state and the nation, including international sailing."[4]
The animation studio building at the Walt Disney Studios, in Burbank, California, was re-dedicated as the "Roy E. Disney Animation Building" on May 7, 2010.[20]

We had a wonderful month-long visit from Grandma in April. We figured that this time, we should actually take her somewhere other than Bogor! So we packed up and headed to Bali for a long weekend.
We rented a villa with a pool, right in the tourist area. Funny enough, it turns out we were very close to the place we stayed last time, but we were so new to the area back then that we were a bit oblivious to exactly where we were. Anyway, we did a bit more research before this trip and managed to have a better idea how to get around from our place!
As it turned out, it was the perfect weekend to be there. As you might know, Bali is a Hindu area, so they follow many of the same holidays and calendar as India and others, rather than the other parts of Indonesia. The weekend we went was Nyepi, which is the New Year holiday. The difference, however, is that Balinese Hindus celebrate the event with a day of silence and reflection, rather than with a party. The entire island shuts down, including the airport – no travel, no electricity, no noise. But since we were just looking for a quiet few days of R&R beside the pool, it was no problem for us!
The place we stayed was a sprawling three-bedroom house with a pool, outdoor bathrooms, a large living area, and all within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, the beach – perfect! But we didn't really go to any of those places. Who needs to when you can spend all day relaxing in the water, dozing in the gazebo, reading on the daybed, playing games at the dining table.
When Nyepi rolled around, we spent the day hushing the kids and trying not to disturb our neighbours. But the magic happened that night, when unexpectedly, we were graced with the darkest, most velvetly black sky I've ever seen in my life. With all the lights turned off on the whole island, the stars shone brighter and clearer than anywhere. The milky way glowed deeply overhead and we saw Jupiter, Venus, and handfuls of constellations. It was truly Bali magic.
The weekend was over too quickly, but we came home with a few lovely souvenirs and memories to last us through the final weeks of the Bogor rainy season.

There was an invitation of beta test of MaruOS for Nexus 5 in mailbox. Unfortunately I had no Nexus 5 phone which is the only device supported at the moment. Off I went and purchased one in the neigbourhood.
Download link of MaruOS took me to a web page with two different install packages. One with install script and an other one with manual install (images only). Flashing Nexus phones is familiar to me. However I wanted to give install script a go.
Flashing Nexus 5
It took only ~ 10 minutes to flash MaruOS on Nexus 5. The instructions in Ubuntu Linux terminal window were clear. There was no chance to fail. The phone was first rooted, next developer mode was accepted twice. Finally MaruOS was ready to run. At the moment MaruOS is the only OS in my Nexus 5. I'm planning to install TWRP and MultiROM which make it possible to multi-boot many operating systems in one phone.
What's it like?
MaruOS is like any other custom Android ROM out there. You can see the difference compared to other ROMs if you happen to own a Slimport adapter. With a full-HD monitor, a HDMI cable and a Slimport adapter Nexus 5 turns into a fullblown Linux Desktop PC (Debian). Yes, you can run all your favourite Linux apps using your phone! Your Nexus 5 phone is your PC!
How is full screen mode turned on? When HDMI cable and Slimport adapter are attached there is a note on the screen of Nexus 5. After that simply use remote control of your TV and choose the right source (i.e. HDMI). I don't know if MaruOS supports hotplugging. Maybe you don't have to first turn phone off, attach wires and then turn phone on again? I haven't tried that just yet!
Make sure Nexus 5 is attached to power supply. When running Debian on big screen battery might drain in no time. There is no sound available at the moment. It's ok since MaruOS in in early stage (version 0.22).
My hardware and expenses:
Nexus 5 (used, 120 €)
Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mouse (used, 30 €)
Deltaco Slimport adapter (outlet, 12 €)
HDMI cable (3 €)
Samsung 55" fullHD TV (new, been around for a year)
Bluetooth Microsoft keyboard and mouse paired
sudo su, then apt-get update
apt-get install hardinfo - it's a Debian Linux!
After some tweaking åäö characters appeared!
My Nexus 5 is also my PC!
Samsung 55" fullHD TV as monitor
