We have been trying to work on our counting skills at my house so I whipped up a little activity for him to work with.
Construction Paper
Pipe Cleaner/Chenille Stems
Cut strips of construction paper about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. You will need one for each number you want to work on. Fold the strips in half and write a number on one side. I cut my pipe cleaners in half since they are originally so long. Now glue the paper around the top of the pipe cleaner with the number facing out.
Once everything has dried, set out the pipe cleaner counters and the beads. The child then has to string the correct number of beads on to the pipe cleaners.
This works on counting and fine motor skills. Have a great day!

I will be using this idea for celebrating 100th day of school!!
ReplyDelete Use two colors of pony beads and make all the facts for a specific number. 7 1 + 6 2 + 5 3+4 4+3 5+ 2 6+1 7+0 After kids make the pipe cleaner with the beads, then they color a paper to match and add a number model. Yes! My second graders will be doing this and so active with it too! Feeling the numbers.

Opinion Student Three Writing Page Two.jpg - Section 2: Which Tarzan is Best?
Tarzan: Opinion Writing
Lesson 5 of 7
Objective: SWBAT create a five paragraph essay based on their opinion of which form of the story Tarzan they enjoyed most.
Big Idea: We will be writing opinion papers on whether the book, play, or movie version of Tarzan was best and why.
Which Tarzan is Best?
In the previous lesson, I had the students fill in a Four Square graphic organizer for the opinion piece we will be creating in this lesson. We have done quite a few five paragraph essays using the four square method. The quality of writing has increased dramatically for my students. There are, however, things the students can still improve on. I would like to discuss some of these things with the students before they begin to compose their piece.
One of the big things that several students are still having a hard time with, is dividing the writing up into five separate paragraphs. They still want to clump the whole essay into one big piece. I will demonstrate on the board how to start a new paragraph and show them how the graphic organizer they completed in the previous lesson makes it easy to know when to begin a new paragraph. The other thing I want to point out to the students is that the use of transition words makes the reading flow from one paragraph to the next.
After our discussion on creating a five paragraph essay, I will let the students have the remainder of the class time to work on their essays.
Resources (6)
Student Sharing
If time permits, to close the lesson, I will have a few students share their writing with the class. It is always fun to have the students share with each other. The more they share, the more comfortable they get in doing it.

Underrated games
just games I feel are underrated and innovate ideas that are worth just mining out for inspiration for game designers.
work in progress
just games I feel are underrated and innovate ideas that are worth just mining out for inspiration for game designers.
work in progress
the mario game that's took a lot of chances in it's game design. No health bar, instead it's about separation with the baby, and there's always something new in order to change the gameplay.
Plus Poppy Seeds makes yoshi dissorented and unable to walk
beat em up and shoot em up combined with multiple path storyline which is a love letter to the creator.
Capcom took the natural evolution to most genres by just slapping together RPG elements to a beloved style. But nothing as horrible as comparing pants numbers for poison resistance and archane magic. Instead what we got is a simple design easy to jump in and rewarding in the long run.
the problem with collecting games is that you collect something just to unlock other things. Never getting a chance to use them. Here all those items you collect them into an epic battle of shooting cannons at one another. The design of it is simple enough nothing too overly complex.
really this is about the feel of the controls. Something easy to flow into combat that anyone could play it.
Depth is not what you expect. In fact this game is OVERWHELMINGLY COMPLEX. But vastly rewarding if you dig in deep into it's own depths. By the time you play as the third character a lot of the game's mechanics have already made sense.
best use of design and license music, pushing the idea of what is entertainment. The alternative from the extreme of children's cart clones and super realistic simulation racers.
Samurai Showdown and Soul Calibur seem to take on another direction which I'm not sure they are going with. Still this is super simple design sword fighting, plays more like Alpha and as coloful as alpha series.
Not the best fighting game, but solid.
Colorful, beautiful design
the problem with fighting game is at some point they slap everything onto it, you want to have depth and not scare people away. This is probably the most elegant Street Fighter has ever been.
learned mistakes from Odin Sphere, a far more simpler game
power up through abuse, an early hint to what would later become the Wario Ware mini game and Rhyhtm Heaven series. Much more rewarding to collect something and it's actually something then just dull uninspired single coin.
as much as that WACKY contraption of a sun sensor as a power meter is used. Early on your transformed into a Vampire boy. So your running from shade to sunlight in order to play this game.
The finally for the Fatal Fury games, as excellent as Street Fighter 3 was it alienated it's own audience. This is still a considerable jump away from Fatal Fury Real Bout or even King of Fighters, but it's easy to jump in, closer to the Alpha series.
this was released the same month as Zelda Twilight Princess was released and then proved there is a way to reinvigorate this genre of adventure games with bold innovative characters.

The Book of Genesis — Liber Genesis
Chapter 28
Vulgate> | <Douay-Rheims> | <Knox Bible |
1 Vocavit itaque Isaac Jacob, et benedixit eum, præcepitque ei dicens: Noli accipere conjugem de genere Chanaan: |
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying: Take not a wife of the stock of Chanaan: |
1 So Isaac summoned Jacob to him, and gave him his blessing, and laid this charge upon him: It is not for thee to marry a woman of Chanaanite stock; |
2 sed vade, et proficiscere in Mesopotamiam Syriæ, ad domum Bathuel patris matris tuæ, et accipe tibi inde uxorem de filiabus Laban avunculi tui. |
2 But go, and take a journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mother's father, and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy uncle. |
2 rather bestir thyself, and make thy way to Mesopotamia of the Syrians; there dwelt thy mother's father, Bathuel, there thou mayest wed one of the daughters of thy uncle Laban. |
3 Deus autem omnipotens benedicat tibi, et crescere te faciat, atque multiplicet, ut sis in turbas populorum. |
3 And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase, and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people. |
3 God Almighty bless thee, and make thy posterity thrive and increase, so that a multitude of nations may spring from thee. |
4 Et det tibi benedictiones Abrahæ, et semini tuo post te: ut possideas terram peregrinationis tuæ, quam pollicitus est avo tuo. |
4 And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather. |
4 May he grant to thee, and to thy race after thee, the blessing which he promised to thy grandfather Abraham; possession of the land in which thou dwellest now as a stranger. |
5 Cumque dimisisset eum Isaac, profectus venit in Mesopotamiam Syriæ ad Laban filium Bathuel Syri, fratrem Rebeccæ matris suæ. |
5 And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the son of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother. |
5 Jacob took leave of him, and set out on his journey to Mesopotamia of the Syrians, to the home of his uncle Laban, son of Bathuel, the Syrian. |
6 Videns autem Esau quod benedixisset pater suus Jacob, et misisset eum in Mesopotamiam Syriæ, ut inde uxorem duceret; et quod post benedictionem præcepisset ei, dicens: Non accipies uxorem de filiabus Chanaan: |
6 And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: |
6 An ill day for Esau; here was Jacob sent with his father's blessing to find himself a wife in Syria; forbidden, as he would win that blessing, to marry a Chanaanite; |
7 quodque obediens Jacob parentibus suis isset in Syriam: |
7 And that Jacob obeying his parents was gone into Syria: |
7 here was Jacob gone all the way to Mesopotamia in obedience to his parents' whim! |
8 probans quoque quod non libenter aspiceret filias Chanaan pater suus: |
8 Experiencing also that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan: |
8 These women of Chanaan, Esau thought, are little to my father's liking; |
9 ivit ad Ismaëlem, et duxit uxorem absque iis, quas prius habebat, Maheleth filiam Ismaël filii Abraham, sororem Nabaioth. |
9 He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth the daughter of Ismael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nabajoth. |
9 so he betook himself to Ismael, and married a third wife, Maheleth, daughter to Abraham's son Ismael, and sister to Nabaioth. |
10 Igitur egressus Jacob de Bersabee, pergebat Haran. |
10 But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran. |
10 Meanwhile Jacob had left Bersabee, and was on his way to Haran. |
11 Cumque venisset ad quemdam locum, et vellet in eo requiescere post solis occubitum, tulit de lapidibus qui jacebant, et supponens capiti suo, dormivit in eodem loco. |
11 And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. |
11 There was a place he reached as nightfall overtook him, so that he must lie down and rest; so he took one of the stones that lay around him, to make a pillow of it, and went to sleep. |
12 Viditque in somnis scalam stantem super terram, et cacumen illius tangens cælum: angelos quoque Dei ascendentes et descendentes per eam, |
12 And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it; |
12 He dreamed that he saw a ladder standing on the earth, with its top reaching up into heaven; a stairway for the angels of God to go up and come down. |
13 et Dominum innixum scalæ dicentem sibi: Ego sum Dominus Deus Abraham patris tui, et Deus Isaac: terram, in qua dormis, tibi dabo et semini tuo. |
13 And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest, I will give to thee and to thy seed. |
13 Over this ladder the Lord himself leaned down, and spoke to Jacob, I am the Lord, he said, the God of thy father Abraham, the God of Isaac; this ground on which thou liest sleeping is my gift to thee and to thy posterity. |
14 Eritque semen tuum quasi pulvis terræ: dilataberis ad occidentem, et orientem, et septentrionem, et meridiem: et benedicentur in te et in semine tuo cunctæ tribus terræ. |
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and IN THEE and thy seed all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED. |
14 Thy race shall be countless as the dust of the earth; to west and east, to north and south thou shalt overflow thy frontiers, till all the families on earth find a blessing in thee, and in this race of thine. |
15 Et ero custos tuus quocumque perrexeris, et reducam te in terram hanc: nec dimittam nisi complevero universa quæ dixi. |
15 And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said. |
15 I myself will watch over thee wherever thou goest, and bring thee back to this land again; before I have done with thee, all my promises to thee shall be fulfilled. |
16 Cumque evigilasset Jacob de somno, ait: Vere Dominus est in loco isto, et ego nesciebam. |
16 And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. |
16 When he awoke from his dream, Jacob said to himself, Why, this is the Lord's dwelling-place, and I slept here unaware of it! |
17 Pavensque, Quam terribilis est, inquit, locus iste! non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli. |
17 And trembling he said: How terrible is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. |
17 And he shuddered; What a fearsome place is this! said he. This can be nothing other than the house of God; this is the gate of Heaven. |
18 Surgens ergo Jacob mane, tulit lapidem quem supposuerat capiti suo, et erexit in titulum, fundens oleum desuper. |
18 And Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone, which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. |
18 So it was that, when he rose in the morning, Jacob took the stone which had been his pillow, and set it up there as a monument, and poured oil upon it; |
19 Appellavitque nomen urbis Bethel, quæ prius Luza vocabatur. |
19 And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza. |
19 and he called the place Bethel, the House of God, that was called Luza till then. |
20 Vovit etiam votum, dicens: Si fuerit Deus mecum, et custodierit me in via, per quam ego ambulo, et dederit mihi panem ad vescendum, et vestimentum ad induendum, |
20 And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, |
20 And there he took a vow; If God will be with me, he said, and watch over me on this journey of mine, and give me bread to eat and clothes to cover my back, |
21 reversusque fuero prospere ad domum patris mei: erit mihi Dominus in Deum, |
21 And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord shall be my God: |
21 till at last I return safe to my father's house, then the Lord shall be my God. |
22 et lapis iste, quem erexi in titulum, vocabitur Domus Dei: cunctorumque quæ dederis mihi, decimas offeram tibi. |
22 And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee. |
22 This stone, too, which I have set up as a monument, shall be called the House of God. And of all the gifts thou sendest me, a tenth part shall be the offering I make thee. |

What happens if we don't invest in staff & they stay?
A twitter post (@sabram @eranium) a few weeks ago posited this question:
CFO asks CEO "What happens if we invest in developing our people & then they leave us?" CEO: 'What happens if we don't, and they stay?"
Interesting thought, isn't it? For many of us, we have staff who work for us, take advantage of training (either that we offer as on the job training) or via formal coursework (such as completing a degree or certificate program) and then LEAVE. To some, it would seem that they suck us dry of what we can offer and then move on. We've advanced their career, perhaps, uptrained them so they can do more, and then they take that knowledge right out the door. I'm sure there are managers who think exactly that way.
...but there is more to the story. If we've worked hard to develop our staff, do we really expect them to stay with no added reward? I realize that not all staff are motivated by an increase in salary (flexible schedules, telecommuting, health care, vacation time can be very powerful motivators) but do we really expect people to stay and work harder (or at more indepth level) for us out of what? LOYALTY? a sense of ALTRUISM? Seriously?!?! Given how low salaries are in libraries, I am never surprised when someone leaves.
Instead, I get kind of sick to my stomach when I hear of someone who has been in EXACTLY the same position for 15, 20 or even (egads!) 30+ years. I only hope that their job has been interesting enough and their motivational factors have been met... otherwise, that is a long time to be miserable and "checked out". I do know for some, they truly love what they do, and they have had enough variety, opportunities, and rewards to continue to motivate them.
Then there is the second part of the question: What if we don't invest in staff, then what? In some ways, it is the same as the answer above. The motivated staff will be motivated - motivated to look for other opportunities. Other staff will stay - at worst stagnating, at best, coasting along still doing a good job (that they could probably do with their eyes closed because they have become an EXPERT EXPERT at their job). In Grad School, one professor (that I kind of hated because he made inane jokes about tech services people in libraries, but he did have a good point or two) used to tell my class regularly: You Grow, or You Die.
I think that gets to the heart of this question. We either help staff grow or we help kill them psychologically - we let them stagnate and we turn good employees into staff who are disengaged, bored, and disenchanted.
Growing staff is much like growing a garden: it takes a little effort: the right seeds and soil (right person for the right job), some fertilizer (training, mentoring, and encouraging), letting them grow (getting out of their way so that can do the job you hired them for) and occasional weeding and cultivating (getting rid of what doesn't work & encouraging what does).

This was the dramatic moment a jet skier in Iceland came far too close to a humpback whale and ran the large mammal over.
Brynjar Thor Gunnarsson and his friend were on their way home when they spotted several whales nearby and they decided to go and take a closer look.
Gunnarsson, who captured the jet ski trip on a camera on his helmet, was near Sauðárkrókur, a town in northern Iceland.
The video shows Gunnarsson travelling along the water at a fast pace with the camera constantly turning to the right as he attempts to spot where the whales are in the water.
However, when he then turns to look straight ahead, the large arced back of a humpback whale emerges from the depths and Gunnarsson cannot get out of the way in time. Thus, he collides with the humpback whale and moves on.
Following the incident - and having posted the footage online - Gunnarsson wrote, "My friend and I were jet skiing here in Iceland and on our way home we came across this group of whales. Then one came up right in front of my jet ski and I hit it. No harm done though!"
However, Dr. Conor Ryan, a sightings and strandings officer at the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust told The Independent that this was a "disturbing video".
"It was certainly the camerman's irresponsible driving that lead to the collision. It is standard practice (and indeed law in most countries) to slow down when in the vicinity of protected species such as humpback whales. I believe that this whale most likely sustained serious injuries from this encounter, given the speed of the collision."

Electronic voice aid interprets for people with impaired speech
11 December 2013 Last updated at 01:00 GMT
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed a prototype electronic aid for those with impaired speech.
Called Vivoca, the device is intended to help people who have difficulty controlling and co-ordinating the muscles used in speech to communicate more clearly.
The machine produces a range of phrases and words which users can select using a colour-coded menu. Users navigate through the menu by saying the colours - for example: "red, blue..." - into a head-mounted microphone.
The machine is designed to recognise an individual's commands, even in noisy environments.
The researchers, from the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare at Sheffield, believe the device may prove a better option for some people than existing communication tools.
In this video, we see tester Jonathan Toogood and the researchers showing how the device works.
In a statement, UK charity Communication Matters, which works to help those with little or no clear speech, said: "The Vivoca gives people with dysarthria - a motor speech disorder - who may find it difficult to make themselves understood, the ability to use their own voice as an input method.
"The voice recognition software learns to recognise the speech and can then interpret it from banks of options. This could reduce the anxiety of not being understood and give the person more independence."

Below you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions surrounding disability law.
1) How much are disability lawyers paid?
Disability lawyers are paid 25% of the back payments you receive from Social Security, up to a maximum of $6,000. For more information, see our article on the cost of disability lawyers.
2) Who is eligible for Social Security disability benefits?
If you work long enough at a job where you pay Social Security taxes, and you become disabled, you are eligible for Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) benefits.
If you haven't worked long enough for SSDI, you may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Your income must be under a certain amount (SSI will start to be phased out at $735 per month and stop altogether at approximately $1,500 per month), you must be disabled (or blind or elderly), and you must have fewer than $2,000 in assets if single, or $3,000 in assets if married (not counting your house, certain household goods, wedding and engagement rings, and several other exceptions).
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), you are disabled if you have a physical or mental impairment that prevents you from working at any job available nationally. In order to win disability benefits (either SSI or SSDI), you must have a disability severe enough to keep you from working in any regular paying job for at least 12 consecutive months. The SSA will decide, after reviewing your benefits application and your doctor's reports, if your mental or physical impairments are severe enough to be considered a disability.
Learn more about eligibility for disability benefits through the SSA.
3) How can I apply or submit a claim for Social Security disability benefits or SSI?
You can call the SSA at 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment to apply for benefits. You will be asked to fill out an application. An employee at your local SSA office can also help you fill out the application. You can also make someone your authorized representative to fill out the form for you. This person can be a relative, a friend, or a disability lawyer. Disability claimants who are represented by lawyers may have an easier time winning their benefits than those who apply on their own.
If you're applying for SSDI only, you can apply online at www.ssa.gov.
4) Can I work at all and receive Social Security disability benefits?
You can work and make a small amount of income. For SSDI, the limit is $1,170 per month in 2017 (or $1,950 if you are blind) -- anything over that amount is considered "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) and if you make that amount of income, the SSA will assume that you are able to work.
However, to encourage disability beneficiaries to go back to work, the SSA will allow you to work for a limited period of time without reducing your benefits so that you can test out whether you can go back to work. For the SSDI program, there is what's called a trial work period.
For more information, see our article on working while on SSDI disability.
For SSI, there are various work incentives. For one, the SGA limit doesn't apply once you've been approved for benefits. Also, the SSA doesn't count half your earned income toward the SSI income limit. And there is a Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) that allows you to make and save income with a goal toward permanently returning to work.
For more information, see our article on working while on SSI disability.
5) What about my family? Are they entitled to Social Security disability benefits?
If you receive benefits from Social Security disability insurance (SSDI), your spouse (or ex-spouse) and children may be able to receive a dependents benefit, which is less than your monthly benefit. Children who are under 18, teenagers who still attend high school and are under 19, and children or young adults who were disabled before age 22 are entitled to Social Security dependents benefits.
In addition, spouses who are 62 years of age and ex-spouses who are 62 years old or older who were married for at least ten years to a disabled worker can get benefits. Finally, a spouse or ex-spouse who cares for children of the disabled worker can get benefits until the children turn 16, or indefinitely if the child is disabled and became disabled before the age of 22.
For more information, see our section on dependents benefits.
6) How do I know whether I am covered by workers' compensation?
Generally, there are two main factors that determine whether you are covered by workers' compensation: whether you are an employee (not an independent contractor or volunteer) and whether your injury occurred as a result of your employment. In addition, in many states, agricultural and domestic workers aren't covered by workers' compensation.
7) If an employee is receiving workers' compensation benefits, but returns to work, does the employee still get to receive workers' compensation benefits?
The answer to this question is "maybe." If an employee returns to work part time, or returns to work full time and makes less money than he or she did before getting injured, in most states he or she can continue to receive temporary disability payments through workers' comp. But if the injured worker goes back to work full time and makes as much or more money than he or she did before, temporary disability benefits will stop. In most states, permanent disability benefits are not affected by returning to work, but in some states, permanent disability payments may be stopped if the worker recovers within two to five years of the date that the permanent disability award was made.
8) Can an employee recover workers' compensation benefits, no matter what he or she did, because it is a "no-fault" system?
Although worker's comp is generally a no-fault system (you don't have to prove your employer was to blame), if you were intoxicated at work, you intentionally injured yourself, you initiated a fight, or you were engaged in horseplay that the employer did not condone, you might not be covered by workers' compensation. If you are unsure or if your workers' comp claim is denied, contact a workers' comp lawyer.
9) Can an employee recover workers' compensation benefits, even if he or she was not actually at the workplace when injured?
The answer to this question will depend on the laws in your particular state, and the facts of the specific case. Generally speaking, if the injury "arises out of" and occurs "within the scope of employment," it is covered. For example, if an employee is a traveling salesperson and is injured in the hotel where he or she is staying for business purposes, the employee will be covered.
Similarly, if an employee is running an errand that takes him or her outside of the workplace at the request of the employer, and an injury occurs in the course of running that errand, the employee will be covered. If the employee is on a business errand, but has stopped or deviated from that errand for personal reasons, then the insurance company may deny benefits and a workers' compensation judge will decide the case.
10) Who pays for workers' compensation benefits?
In most states, employers are required to purchase insurance for their employees from a workers' compensation insurance carrier. In some states, larger employers who are solvent and willing to pay a large deposit are allowed to "self-insure," or act as their own insurance companies. When a worker is injured, the worker files a claim with the workers' compensation carrier, who pays medical and temporary or permanent disability benefits according to a state-approved formula.
11) What is the ADA?
The ADA is a federal civil rights law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications.
12) Why do we need the ADA?
Historically, people with disabilities have faced discrimination on the job, in accessing public buildings and services, and in using public accommodations, such as hotels, restaurants, and shops. People with disabilities are much less likely to be employed that those who don't have a disability; those who are employed earn more than $5,000 less per year, on average, that employees without disabilities.
13) Who does the ADA cover?
The ADA covers people with disabilities, people with a history of disability, and people who are perceived -- even incorrectly -- as having a disability. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity (such as breathing, walking, seeing, hearing, or caring for oneself) or a major bodily function, such as the proper working of the immune system, reproductive organs, or normal cell growth.
In the employment context, a person with disability is protected from discrimination only if qualified for the job and able to perform its essential functions, with or without a reasonable accommodation. In other words, employers are not required to hire unqualified people (those who lack the proper credentials, experience, or licenses, for example) or those who can't perform the fundamental duties of the job, simply because they have a disability. However, if an applicant is qualified and can do the job with or without an accommodation (for example, a lowered desktop for an employee using a wheelchair or TDD telephone equipment for an employee with hearing loss), then the employer may not refuse to consider that person for the job because of a disability.

Cosgrove, Brian (2005) Herman Melville's Pierre: How Radical is the Critque of Christianity? Irish Theological Quarterly, 70 (2).
Download (2MB)
In the dark and problematic Pierre, the much lesser-known novel written after Moby-Dick, Melville provides a radical critque of Christian morality. Ironically, it is the untenable ideals fostered by Christianity that lead to Pierre's disillusionment and self-destruction. But if Christianity is subjected to such a critique, can the source of such moral beliefs - Christ himself - remain exempt from a related critical scrutiny? In any case, does not Pierre push to a further extreme the deep scepticism about a providential God the Father already evident in Moby-Dick?

Moroccan Chicken and Vegetables
Couscous, the traditional accompaniment to many North African dishes, is a tiny semolina pasta, available in most supermarkets.
- Servings: 2
- 1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast (about 8 ounces)
- 4 pearl onions, peeled and quartered
- 1 celery stalk, washed, strings removed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 small plum tomatoes (about 4 ounces), roughly chopped
- 1 small zucchini (about 4 ounces), cut into 1-inch dice
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1/3 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken or vegetable stock, skimmed of fat
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
- 2 tablespoons mango chutney
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup dry couscous
- 2 24-inch lengths aluminum foil
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut chicken breast in half, removing and discarding cartilage in center. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Add onions, celery, tomatoes, zucchini, raisins, parsley, and mint and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together stock, ginger, garlic, curry powder, chutney, 3/4 teaspoon salt, red pepper, and cornstarch. Pour over chicken-vegetable mixture and toss to combine.
Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover again, and set aside until ready to serve.
Fold the pieces of aluminum foil in half crosswise and unfold. Place half the chicken-vegetable mixture on one of the pieces of foil, 2 to 3 inches from the fold. Refold along the crease, enclosing mixture, and make a double 1/2-inch fold along the 3 open sides. Repeat process to make the second packet. Place both packets on a baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes. Divide couscous between 2 bowls. Open packets, arrange contents over couscous, and serve immediately.

Keleshi Parukusa was a security guard and had the job of protecting rhinos in Kenya's Lewa conservancy. Attracted by poachers' big money, he helped them to kill two of the severely endangered animals, but yesterday admitted to his crime. This is his confession.
The 39-year-old from Lebarua in northern Kenya said he no longer wanted to continue poaching because he saw no profit in it. Disowned by his community and tricked by his friends, Parukusa said: "This is not what I want my life to be about."
Parukusa became a poacher in September last year, when four men approached him to help them to kill a rhino at Lewa. "I thought it would be easy money," he said.
"I brought them into the conservancy area and put them into position the night before. I had been observing the rhino from a hill and I made sure they could hide on the conservancy all night.
"The next day, they killed the rhino with two AK-47s. My job was to report the killing, but I gave the scouts wrong information about where the rhino carcass was. This gave time for my guys to escape with the horn.
"The horn [weighed] 5kg and they had to walk on foot for 20 kilometres to get it to Isiolo, the nearest town. From there, I don't know what happened to it. I got 350,000 Kenyan shillings (£2,450) for my role in killing the rhino. I don't know what the other guys got paid."
Although the pay-off was a fortune for the Kenyan pastoralist, it was a tiny fraction of what the horn was worth. A gunman in Kenya usually gets a million shillings (around £7,000) per kilo. When it reaches Asian markets, its value can be up to 10 times that. Believed to possess magic properties, and falsely thought to be a cure for hangovers and cancer, rhino horn can be extremely valuable.
Parukusa said: "350,000 shillings doesn't make you happy when you're avoiding everyone and lying to your family.
"Although I wasn't the one who pulled the trigger, word spread quickly in the community about my involvement. I was scared and I denied any involvement. But everyone knew and the community ostracised my entire family.
"I was disowned by my people. I couldn't carry on living like this. People wouldn't talk to my family. I was in hiding and I rarely spent two nights in the same place for the next year. I felt my every movement was being observed. The community wanted me to give myself up. I no longer felt free."
Despite the guilt, shame and reaction of his community, Parukusa said he could not resist the allure of the money, and earlier this month, while the Lewa conservancy staff were at a Christmas party, he saw his opportunity to make his second killing.
He said: "I bought a carbine from Isiolo for 50,000 shillings [£350]. This time, I worked with three guys I met in Isiolo. I fired the gun, and I took down the rhino. I felt nothing. To me, it was just about money.
"But the guys I worked with tricked me. They took the horn, [which] this time [weighed] 7kg, and disappeared with it. I heard nothing from them for days. I don't think I'll ever get paid.
"I quickly realised what kind of business this is. I would never make as much money as I thought from killing rhino. There was no profit."
When handing in his weapons in front of his community yesterday, Parukusa expressed deep regret: "The whole community suffered because of me. Many people in our community are employed by Lewa conservancy. My two brothers were security guards and depended on the conservancy for their livelihood. The trust between our community and Lewa conservancy was built because of a joined concern for the wildlife.
"Two days ago, I came clean to my family. They were angry but also worried. I had been lying to everyone. They had remained loyal to me and refused to believe the rumours that I was a poacher. When I told them, they were shocked. They had no idea.
"Last year, when they asked me how I had made so much money, I told them it was none of their business. It's not in our tradition to question the man of the house so they didn't pursue it. But I betrayed them.
"I have ruined myself in the eyes of the community. I'm willing to take any punishment they give me. I have already handed in my weapon. I am willing to give away the cattle I bought with the money I got from the first killing. I am willing to go to jail. I feel deep remorse for my actions."
Dr Paula Kahumbu, the chief executive of WildlifeDirect, said the elders told her "the community meeting was like a celebration. They were relieved. They didn't want this question… about who was responsible for the rhino's death looming.
"You could see he felt terrible. Whilst I was speaking to him, a rhino walked past. I pointed it out and asked how he felt when he saw that rhino. He said, 'I just saw money.'"
The chief executive of Space for Giants, Max Graham, said: "The future of large species that can command such high value in illegal markets such as rhino and, increasingly, elephants, is almost entirely dependent on the people with whom they share their home. In northern Kenya, conservancies such as Lewa are creating real value for wildlife among local communities, creating stewards and conservationists out of local people. This case demonstrates exactly that."

CNN posted an iReport about national topless day. While there are some limits on when men can go topless, there are many more imposed on women. For example, I can legally run most places without wearing a shirt. A woman runner doing the same thing would risk being arrested for indecent exposure. This leads to the obvious matter of what justifies the difference in treatment.
Some people would point to religious reasons and claim that God does not want people seeing breasts in public. Of course, this cannot be true. Since God is supposed to be all powerful, it would be easy enough for him to prevent women from showing their breasts. He could simply impose selective blindness or make it so that breasts create a blurring effect when gazed upon by those who should not see them. So, it seems that God is not too worried about breasts.
Laying aside the religious foundation, it could be argued that the female breast is obscene and so awful that it should not be shown. However, this seems to be clearly false. While there are no doubt some vile breasts, I am confident that almost all men will agree that they are quite pleased to see breasts. In fact, people spend lots of money buying photos and videos of women with exposed breasts. So, it cannot be that people should be protected from the ugly horror of breasts.
It could be argued, to borrow from Islam, that men are so wicked, depraved and lacking in control that women would put themselves at great risk by exposing their breasts. Of course, this same argument has been used to argue against women showing any skin at all and yet violence against women does not seem to increase in proportion to an increase in the amount of skin displayed. In fact, places where women are forced to cover the most seem to have the most serious problems with violence against women.
It might be argued that breasts are a private part, like the genitals, and hence should not be exposed in public. Of course, this merely pushes the question back (or lower) to the matter of why these parts should be covered up.
Perhaps a practical argument could be given. Since men are so interested in breasts, having women going around topless would create a potentially hazardous distraction. For example, men might crash their vehicles while staring at women's breasts. Men might also make errors at work when their brains are focusing on the nipples and not, for example, the numbers.
Of course, the same sort of arguments were given in the past against woman showing skin, but people obviously adjusted to the changes. True, men stare at women, but they did so even when women were covered from ankle to neck in dresses.
One might also argue that going topless would lead to immoral behavior. After all, it might be contended, a woman could start by exposing her breasts and then on the slippery slope to wickedness. This argument, of course, is nothing new. The same concerns were raised about ladies showing an ankle at the beach.
The argument might have some bite to it, though. After all, people can point to the various over-sexed reality shows, pornography, and bad sexual behavior as evidence that wicked behavior has increased as more skin has been exposed.
Of course, a look at history shows that people have been rather consistently wicked through the centuries. Also, there is the question of whether such behavior is, in fact, immoral.
As a final argument, it could be argued that women would be presenting themselves as sexual objects by showing their breasts in public. This, as the feminists would argue, would be a bad thing. Of course, this would depend on why the women were taking this action. If they did so to be sexual objects for the lustful eyes of men, then perhaps this would be wrong. However, if women did so primarily for the same reasons men do (because it is cooler, to get a better tan, or to show off) then it would seem to be no more wrong for women to do so then it would be for men.
While I do think that many men would act like idiots if women were allowed to go topless in the same situations as men, this is failing on the part of those men and this should not be I also suspect that if this became the norm, men would return to our usually levels of idiotic behavior and an exposed breast would be no more extreme than an exposed ankle or leg was back in the day.

I've always been partial to the "uncovered meat" argument myself 🙂
A Muslim cleric's claim that women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat' who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday.
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the nation's most senior Muslim cleric, compared immodestly-dressed women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.
Now that is quite an analogy.
And this just in: "Ogling beautiful women a natural reflex for men"
Who knew?
I am shocked and amazed.
There's one more argument that needs to be presented in addition to the many fine ones above: "What about the children?"
Yes, what about the children. We must hide women's breasts from them. We must teach them ignorance, intolerance, injustice, obsession, and hypocrisy.

"an exposed breast would be no more extreme than an exposed ankle or leg was back in the day."
Following the same principles, penis, vagina and butts should be allow to be flaunted in public as well. I agree. We are animals with animal bodies. Why conceal the obvious and pretend differently?

I first purchased a bottle of this around 2003. I'm on my second bottle now. I think the first bottle I had must be the original formula because the quality seems different, and while I do prefer the original, I still love this scent. I wouldn't normally gravitate towards citrus, but it is so delicate and gentle in this blend. It's very clean but not in the lemon Pledge sense. It's the type of thing you'd want to put on before bed after a nice shower. It doesn't scream "perfume"; it's one of those fragrances that could just be the way someone naturally smells. I can see why this was marketed as a child's scent, but it doesn't read as juvenile on an adult.
I have one bottle since 2008 (must be the old citrusy formulation). It wasn't my favourit because at the time I wasn't much into fresh, zesty perfumes. I expected something like baking cake, vanilla rum and raisins...so I left it aside. Now it's almost a vintage:) and...it losts the citrusy notes!(like all the old perfumes do), and...I certainly like it much more. It's quite woody, just a bit citrus fresh to balance it and bit flowery mainly jasmine, but not heavy at all, still soft like a newly baked cake. My imagination tells me itmight be a bit of rum inside after all:)
This is so nice- I only wish the longevity wasn't soo poor, that makes me so sad, because I wouldn't mind it lasting for hours and hours. It's so nice and clean and friendly but after 20 minutes I can barely smell it.
I love it! It starts off very citrusy and then goes to light florals - my only problem with it is that it is extremely light with virtually no longevity. This is a fragrance to wear for yourself. Quite similar to Baby Tous.
Very citrusy not what I was expecting...very similar to 4711 cologne
This is the only perfume I have ever used bottles and bottles of. Ever. It became hard to find in the states so I let it go for a few years, but it was my absolute favorite. Incidentally I bought it because the name was so cute and initially thought I didn't like it. Then, bam. LOVE. Intense, obsessive, I have to have you 3 times a day love. I have never felt that way about a perfume since.
I was in Paris a few years ago and they had it at Sephora and I bought two bottles, thinking naturally I will use this every day! It was my signature, the only perfume I have ever been obsessed with. But the formula has changed, as mentioned. The old formula has I think a mint or pennyroyal note in it that is super subtle but in just the proper balance softens the citrus and brings out the soft soapiness of lily of the valley/petitgrain/neroli (most of which are not present anymore and it definitely more citrus-centered now). It is noticeably gone in the new formulation and I think replaced with galbanum. It used to be PERFECT and now it's just..okay. I had to scour ebay for the "right" one, and when I did it was like being reunited with a long lost love. This stuff slays me. It will be my favorite forever and ever.
A friend gave me a full bottle of this the Christmas of 1998. It was so fresh and light, a gentle pick-me-up, an antidote for the stress of working in humid, traffic-filled Manila. Under those conditions I used it up in two months. I understand it is very popular in tropical-climate areas, where it is neither overwhelming, nor so subtle it disappears totally.
i love this smell. it'sfresh and light. not so sweet and heavy.
my mom gave me for my birthday present and this was the first fragrance for me. so must be memorial one.
I love this fragrance! It smells like a baby!
This scent is clean, lovely, subtle and no-way overpowering. Citrus is much more intensive than other notes but it is not sharp citrus. Every notes come in smooth way. A bit soapy on me. Nice scent but i give more love to Burberry baby touch.
It's not the same scent or projection but everytime i wear this scent it will remind me to Clean Provence. So if you like Clean, i bet you will like this scent too.
I just had a chance to smell Baby - Tous, OMG it's totally the same for me!
like an expensive baby cologne.
i used to wear this amazing perfume when i was a kid , and i still keep for memories and i do wear it sometimes . it is really fresh citrus and white floral scent that suites kids and also adults.
It really doesn't stay long. I used to love.
They changed the formulation. The smell I remember was very subtle floral, more citrus and sweeter and now it smells more green, even though it does contain citrus and sweetness.
I've used this about ten years ago. I liked it at the time, but now that I've got myself another bottle, I love it! The only two bad points is that now I have to share it with my kids and it really doesn't stay that long... But still a fresh and nice fragrance that gets me to sniff my wrists from time to time.
This fragrance used to be huge in Japan in the 1990's. Women wore it, not kids.
"Suitable for ages 3 and up" - a soft, light and refreshing fragrance perfect for warm, sunny days.
First whiffs are zesty, with smooth dry down to reveal particular notes of jasmine and musk. It is however a short-lived fragrance, but that's the perfect excuse to reapply and feel refreshed again and again!
Doesn't last but it's a lovely, soft and innocent fragrance.
A Blind Purchase resulting in happiness and glee....
What a perfect scent on me, I admit I have a soft spot for child-like innocent scents, If only it came in an EDP!!... then it could easily become my signature scent!
In my opinion it is a much milder version of AG's Eau d'Hadrien, so fresh and lemony... the dry down is a very gentle, soft blossomy clean musk, absolutely gorgeous....sadly this stage is not long lived, it is nearly totally gone after an hour... *Sigh* Oh well, time to re-spritz!
This is a very gentle mist of orange blossom and soft citrus. Part of what makes it so soft is that my bottle is either alcohol free or has an extremely low alcohol content, and although the scent is fleeting, it leaves a very faint but beautiful orange glow upon drydown.
The only down side is that on hot days, it lacks the bracing sensation of alcohol evaporation, but the bright side is that you can really pour it on without worrying about overdoing it, and it also works well as a mist on sheets and clothing.
I absolutely loved that fragrance, which I wore in my teens. That was the start of a long love story with fragrances containing lemony notes. It is very fresh and tender, but the only downside is the poor lasting power.
I would say this is very good to use as a cologne, to splash yourself with after a shower on a hot and lazy summer day... I might buy it again... for my niece or maybe even for myself...
j`adore j`adore j`adore
this is the BEST ever parfume for kids!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT even for myself!!!!!!!!
I sprayed some on my hand and my impressions on this perfume is that the top notes are too citric, but they rapidly change into a gentle floral citric concotion.
It´s perfect for small boys.
What upsets me is that the smell was completely gone in 30 minutes.
Here is Brazil the girly version, Gransenbon, is not available (people here also refers to this perfume as the brand itself: Tartine et Chocolat - the other colognes are not known/available here, except for Eau D'Amour pour Maman)

"Why does a salmon take a fly?" That's the question asked by Eric Steel's quietly beguiling documentary. Its subject is Megan Boyd, a woman from the West Highlands who became celebrated for her extraordinary skill at tying fishing flies. Boyd, whose fervent admirers included Prince Charles, died in 2001. Steel speaks to those who knew her or used her flies, and films the rugged Scottish landscapes where she lived and worked.
"She looked like a man in a skirt," we are told. Disconcertingly, one interviewee tells us that the "Hairy Mary" (one of her flies) was rumoured to have been first made with "the pubic hair of a barmaid in Inverness in 1961".

Europe's lead in the Solheim Cup looked as if it might disappear but remarkably they carried a one-point advantage into the afternoon fourballs. They owed their slender lead to a hole-in-one by Anna Nordqvist and a half-point that came from out of nowhere.
The Sweden crashed a seven-iron on the 175-yard 17th into the pin, then into the hole, to give Europe their only win in yesterday morning's foursomes here in Parker, Colorado. It was the highlight of a topsy-turvy stretch of golf on the back nine that ended with Europe holding a 6½-5½ lead over the United States.
"It was just an unbelievable shot," Nordqvist said after she and Caroline Hedwall beat Jessica Korda and Morgan Pressel 2 and 1. "It was the right shot at the right time."
Pressel, who had watched her dreams of a US Open title disappear in 2005 when Birdie Kim holed out from a greenside bunker up the road at Cherry Hills, saw another one slip away cruelly in Colorado. "Are you kidding me?" she said on the tee box as she watched Nordqvist's shot go in.
The Americans were feeling the same way in the day's third match after letting Europe sneak another half-point.
Brittany Lincicome missed a short putt on hole 17 that would have clinched a win for the Americans against Caroline Masson and Catriona Matthew. Moving to the 18th, Matthew holed a six-footer for birdie to pull into a tie with Lincicome and Lizette Salas, who had led since the second hole but couldn't close it out.
"I feel like I was not putting good," Lincicome said. "We had so many chances and Lizette played so good today, and just a couple of five-footers that needed to go in just didn't."
But there were reasons for the home crowd to be cheerful. Brittany Lang and Michelle Wie teamed up for a 2-and-1 victory over Suzann Pettersen and Beatriz Recari. The victory improved Wie to 5-0-1 when she plays in the Solheim Cup as a captain's pick. The Americans were two down at the turn but went one up over the next three holes, highlighted by a 30-foot birdie putt that dropped for Lang on the 10th.
The Americans picked up another point when Stacy Lewis and Paula Creamer beat Azahara Munoz and Karin Icher one up in the day's most tumultuous match.
The Europeans won four straight holes to go from four down to all square heading into the 15th. They fell behind on the next hole, then drew level again on the 17th. Europe appeared to have the advantage on the last when Lewis smothered her approach shot into the brush and trees left of the green.
But Icher, playing out of a bunker about 50 yards in front of the green, thinned a shot that got stuck in a yucca plant. All Creamer needed was to chip the ball back in the vicinity of the green and the Europeans, who had taken a drop, then hit a mediocre shot short of the green and conceded the match.
The US captain, Meg Mallon, was hoping the two late-morning victories would help the United States pick up steam in the afternoon.
"It was very nerve-racking, an unbelievable turn of events," Mallon said. "Watching a ball go in the hole like that, then to watch some of the other matches finish the way they did, was a great momentum turn for the US."

Suarez hits for 4 in Liverpool's rout of Norwich City
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Luis Suarez put on a one-man show in the Premier League on Wednesday, scoring four goals in Liverpool's 5-1 win over Norwich - including two stunning strikes that were part of a first-half hat trick.
The Uruguay striker had Liverpool up 3-0 inside 35 minutes and opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range volley that looped over Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy in the 15th. After doubling the lead in the 29th, Suarez produced a sublime solo effort six minutes later when he playfully chipped the ball over Leroy Fer before slotting a half-volley from the edge of the area inside the far post.
Suarez added his fourth in the 74th, before Bradley Johnson netted a consolation goal in the 83rd and Raheem Sterling finished off the rout five minutes later.
Suarez became the first Premier League player to score three hat tricks against the same opponent, and has 11 goals in five appearances against Norwich. He is now the league's leading scorer with 13 goals in nine matches - having been suspended for the first five games of the season.
WATCH: Suarez scores four against Norwich
His first on Wednesday came after Ruddy's kick was headed forward by Joe Allen and Fer missed his clearance. Suarez seized his chance, half-turning toward the Kop to lash a dipping inch-perfect shot over and across the Norwich goalkeeper from 40 yards.
His second was a more instinctive finish but no less clinical.
Philippe Coutinho swung over a left-wing corner and Suarez hooked home left-footed.
The best came six minutes later when the helpless Fer could only look on as Suarez flicked the ball over his head before skipping past the midfielder to lash past Ruddy.
The fourth wasn't bad either, as he curled home a free kick from 25 yards.
Johnson headed home Nathan Redmond's left-wing cross with seven minutes to go but it barely even registered with the travelling support, Sterling ensured the night finished on a high by converting Suarez's cross.
It was the kind of resounding win Liverpool needed to bounce back from its loss to Hull on Sunday, although the team remained in fourth place, seven points behind leader Arsenal.

Q. We are a seven unit building with a basement unit. The unit should probably have never been built by the developer, but it was. We're very good at maintaining the sewer line, so we've not had any serious issues with flooding. The unit owner, however, says that if there is basement flooding that ends up damaging her apartment, then the association is responsible.
Is that the case?
The apartment also has its own expeller pump and sump pump that comes out of their apartment into the communal basement area. Is the maintenance and repair of this their responsibility or that of the association?
A. Responsibility for damage will depend on which parts of the units are damaged, and what your Declaration describes as common elements, limited common elements and parts of a unit. Typically, the association must maintain This section of the article is only available for our subscribers. Please click here to subscribe to a subscription plan to view this part of the article.

Jarlsberg cheese is one of Norway's most famous export products, and it's enjoyed across the country. Although this cheese dates back to the 1850's it wasn't until the 1950's that today's familiar yellow wax-covered cheese was created. Jarlsberg is quite similar to Emmenthal or Comté, with mild sweet nutty notes to it and it's great to use in cooking.
I used Jarlsberg XO cheese, which has been aged for 15 months, giving it a more concentrated and mature flavour. I also used red onions from Holm Farm in Kvelde, around 120km south of Oslo. These "Edel" onions are sweet and mild with an aromatic taste that doesn't overwhelm the dish. Now that we're in the middle of the chanterelle season here, I'd definitely use those instead of chestnut mushrooms if you can. Finally, I used ready-made puff pastry as, frankly, life's too short to be making your own from scratch. But if you have the time then you can find a decent recipe here.
Ingredients (serves 4-6)
- 4 medium red onions, sliced
- 50g butter
- 300g mushrooms
- a palmful of thyme leaves
- 100g crème fraîche
- 300g puff pastry
- 150g Jarlsberg cheese, grated
- Salt & pepper
- Add half the butter to a frying pan and gently cook the onions over a low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes until soft and the edges have just started to caramelise
- Add mushrooms and the rest of the butter and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes
- Add the crème fraîche and thyme, stirring it in well, turn up the heat slightly and let it bubble for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Line a baking dish with puff pastry and pour in the onion and mushroom mix
- Sprinkle over the grated cheese and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 200°C
- Serve with a crisp green salad and maybe some crusty white bread
