5 April 2008,
Better late than never, they say.
Yesterday exactly one year ago K. and I had a chance to have lunch at El Bulli. A spectacular lunch. A long lunch. A very tasty lunch. A memorable lunch. I-so-have-to-tell-everyone-about-this lunch. Funny enough, it took me a whole year to actually blog about that. When we got home from our 10-day Spanish road trip early last April, I had several deadlines looming. Some at the University, plus I had been commissioned to write some articles about our visit to El Bulli*. I wrote a short piece (one page) for the biggest-selling Estonian food magazine Oma Maitse (May 2008). Then a whole A3-size spread for the main weekly newspaper Eesti Ekspress (22 May 2008). And then a richly illustrated detailed review of the menu spread over six pages for the other local food magazine, KÖÖK (Summer 2008). But somehow I didn't get around to writing about it on my blog.
Well, until now. To mark the one-year anniversary of our visit to El Bulli, I'm gonna give you four blog posts over the next week detailing what happened when Nami-Nami went to El Bulli :) (I could do one long post, but considering we had 30 dishes that all looked fabulous, it's easier to split the post into four).
Before we got to El Bulli, we decided to 'get into the mood'. Ferran Adrià is from Emporda in Catalunya, which is (in)famous for its harsh tramontana-winds that blow from the Pyrenees. The Spaniards believe that these very tramontana winds make the locals a bit funny. Who knows. The world's best known Surrealist, Salvador Dalí, is from the region as well, so it might just be true. In any case, as El Bulli is just an hour's drive from the Dalí Museum in Figueras, we decided to visit the museum first and set the mood :)
The road from Roses (the nearest town) to El Bulli is a spectacle of its own. It's narrow and high and zig-zags alongside the coastline (I wouldn't want to navigate it after a merry meal at the restaurant, that's for sure!). The restaurant itself is surrounded by cypress and pine trees, and overlooks a beautiful Cala Montjoi bay.
Over-excited as we were, K. and I arrived in our rented Mini Cooper (the best and cutest rental car ever!) a bit early. We parked the car and wondered around the garden. Spotted a group of young stagés chatting on the back of the restaurant:
And large canisters of liquid nitrogen - giving an indication of the type of restaurant we were about to visit:
Once inside, we were greeted by Señor Luis Garcia (what amazing blue eyes that man has!?!). He confirmed our reservation and asked if we wanted a small tour of the El Bulli service kitchen. Of course we did! Garcia assigned us a young waiter, who led us to the kitchen. El Bulli serving kitchen is large, some 130 sq m. It was divided into two - the hot and the cold section. We spotted Ferran's brother Albert working on some pastry (top left photo), and numerous young stagé cooks doing various prep work. Apparently there are 40 cooks taking care of the 50 diners each night - and given the number of people we saw in the serving kitchen, that's indeed very likely. Remember, each El Bulli meal consists of 30 courses - multiply that by 50 (the number of diners) - and you get 1500 dishes. No wonder they need such a huge number of cooks (plus waiters!). Compared to the tiny restaurant kitchen I've worked in (I've never really told you about my stagé at the top gourmet restaurant in Tallinn either, have I?), El Bulli's was huge, spacious and looked like something from a space ship - all shiny metal and a bit futuristic :)
Furthermore, the your waiter assigned to us asks if we want to take a photograph with The Chef? Of course we did!!! Here's our million-dollar picture (K's on the other side of Ferran Adrià, but he's camera shy, so I've promised not to show his face on the blog here ;))
After the short kitchen tour we were led into the surprisingly traditional-looking dining room. Luckily for us, we were seated at a small corner table just under the window, meaning we'd have beautiful natural light for taking pictures.
But more about that next time..

Sometimes things feel out of control, especially when they involve other people, or the economy, or health. I'm inspired by this 1878 journal entry wherein a young man reflects on his rough year. He concludes that we learn valuable lessons, and that "all things work together for good for those who love God...." Rom. 8:28

Approaching the New YearI'm excited about 2013. I know the coming year will be better! However, with big changes (including cuts) in my part-time jobs during the next two months, I feel like things are too beyond my control to set any big plans. I know Who's in charge, though, and I need to hand things over to Him.

Every year at this time I blog about New Year's Resolutions – whether to do them, how to do them, and my thoughts on how to ...
North Carolina Yearly Meeting (my denomination's state-wide organization) is calling for 21 days of fasting and prayer (a downloadable pdf guide is on the right side of their page) to start in mid-January. Now, for somebody who's marginally hypoglycemic, fasting is not my favourite thing. I'm still pondering the no-food part. Yet it's a great opportunity to set aside some time with God, with encouragement from other participants. At the very least, I'm going to give up some internet time. When I traveled to Mexico earlier this month, I went completely unplugged for a long weekend. I came back with more focus (brainpower) than I've had in a long time.
Meanwhile, my short-term goals involve writing and maintenance. Writing, as in plugging away at my historical, genealogy-based novel, and maybe throwing in some nonfiction work to boost my sense of accomplishment. Maintenance, as in calling repairmen and setting doctor's appointments. And calling friends I haven't talked to in a while. Being a better steward of the blessings I have.
How about you? Are you setting goals for 2013?

Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and just wanted to see if anyone is up for some tennis this Thursday evening around 7:30 PM. I'm a 28-year old male 3.5/4.0 player and live in Rockville. The courts at my building don't have lights, so I usually end up playing at Cabin John or Olney Manor, but I'd be up for playing anywhere that has decent lights and won't be totally slammed because of the awesome weather this week (which unfortunately probably rules out Cabin John, haha).

Olney Sports Center off Georgia Avenue, north of Leisure World? They essentially have free lights there...Are you into singles/doubles?
We might be talking about the same place - Olney Manor Recreational Park, on Georgia Avenue just north of the MD-200 interchange? They have 18 courts with good lights (it's the only place with lights where I've never had to wait a long time for a court).
Specifically for this Thursday, I'm interested in playing singles, but I do like to practice doubles sometimes, too.
Roger - Sorry I could not get back to you earlier - it's been...relatively rough. Is there a number I can call you at, or an e-mail address? And yes, it's the one off MD-200. Exactly that one.
Alright. Will try to e-mail when I have the chance. In the meantime, I will be over at Olney Rec Park at about 6:30 pm tonight...give me a ring at 240 643-8527 if you wanna hit around some.
If Thursday doesn't work for anyone, I can do Friday evening, too (starting around 7:30 or 8)
Hey Roger,
I see you are looking to get out for some hitting. Me too.
I live in Olney and am pretty flexible timewise to get out and hit evenings and/or weekends.
Lemme know,

Dr. Wang's research offers hope for family with history of cancer
by Vicky Cerino, UNMC public relations
San Ming Wang. M.D.
It's not very often that those affected by breast cancer come face-to-face with researchers trying to find a cure for the disease.
Brandi Preston, 22, was one of five women who met in late summer with UNMC breast cancer researcher San Ming Wang, M.D.
Dr. Wang had just spoken about the latest in breast cancer research to the local members of Bright Pink, a support group chapter for those affected by familial breast cancer — those who carry a gene that can be passed down.
Ben, Bailey and Brandi Preston (Photo courtesy Preston family)
It was an emotional experience for Dr. Wang.
"I use DNA material from patients to study, but that was the first time I had direct contact with patients," Dr. Wang said. "I learned from them all how psychologically stressful it is to have a breast cancer gene — like carrying a time bomb.
"I feel more pressure when I think about the patient," he said. "It's not so simple anymore to think of my research work as just science."
Preston said meeting Dr. Wang was fascinating.
"He is doing so much amazing research," Preston said. "It gives me a lot of hope for the future."
Preston is facing a decision of whether or not to have a double mastectomy.
Preston's mother carried the BRCA1 gene, as did her grandmother, great-grandmother and great- great grandmother. (Both her great-grandmother and great-great grandmother had breast and ovarian cancer.)
Preston's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer on Thanksgiving of 2000. Before she passed away in 2005 at the age of 40, she asked Brandi to be tested for the BRCA gene when she turned 19.
The test came back positive. Preston's brother also is positive for the BRCA I gene.
The gene requires extra vigilance. Every six months Preston has a breast exam, a yearly breast MRI, ovarian screening and a pap smear.
"Knowledge is power," she said. "Now that I know I have this gene, I can do something about it. I can monitor.
"After each breast exam I say, 'Whew, no cancer, I'm good for another six months.' But why wait until I develop it? That's why I'm thinking of having the double mastectomy."

Can You Beat Cellulite?
True story: when my daughter was 4, I saw a picture of myself (taken from behind) while I was walking on the beach. I was shocked and unaware of what was going on back there!!!
Can you say Cellulite City!?
It was so bad, that all I could do was laugh (maybe it was a cry, I have tried to wipe this from my memory)... And so began my journey back into the fitness lifestyle I had abandoned years before.
Now, I'm here to talk honestly about cellulite. I see a LOT of articles that swear that cellulite is NOT something you can get rid of. I am here to debunk that. I'll tell you right now, that's complete BS! I'm living proof of that. Maybe less was more, but at the time I saw this horrifying picture of myself I had never heard that cellulite was permanent. And so, I started working out routinely and in just a month my cellulite had diminished considerably, and several months later it was gone. Maybe what I didn't know didn't hurt me?
I preach that you CAN work off cellulite. After all, it's just fatty deposits. We all know that when you eat right and exercise, you lose fat, so why wouldn't cellulite be the same? It's the same in my book. I truly believe that what you THINK you CREATE, so if you strongly believe cellulite is here to stay no matter how fit you get, then, so be it. Hang it up. Nail the coffin shut. (Zero on the Fun-O-Meter)
Or you can choose to live in my reality…that you CAN get rid of it.
So, what exercises should you do to send these little fat deposits packing?
An intense routine of resistance combined with cardio is key. Cardio, cardio and more cardio is NOT THE SOLUTION. Remember, cardio ALONE may make you a bit smaller, but you'll still be the same SHAPE. Like a balloon that has slightly deflated….
If you want to change your SHAPE and KILL FAT CELLS you must add in resistance as well, and the most fun way to do this is to combine the cardio and resistance simultaneously. It's faster too!
You absolutely need to be tracking all food eaten and eat 5-6x a day to stoke your metabolism. (Hello… 9Round Nutrition!)
That being said:
My suggested schedule: If you've been sedentary, I'd say 3x a week is great. If you've been semi active and are now ready to blast the remaining 5 pounds then I'd say 5-6 times a week. Whatever you've been doing, let's aggressively go forward with a new plan.
Resistance plan: Listen, tiny little light weights aren't going to cut it here. (The ones shown in most magazines are 3 to 5 pound weights.) They are a total waste of time unless you have been sedentary so far.
Whenever you perform any exercise, push yourself to the limit (safely). For instance, if the exercise is lunges, then pick up the heaviest weight that you can safely and properly perform with. The correct weight should make it difficult to finish the reps with, but still able to finish. If you can fly through the exercise, it's too easy and is just cardio. Adding medicine balls to squats, dumb bells to lunges is perfect.
Body weight is perfect if you've been sedentary. (Meaning: use no weights at all while you focus on perfect form and create excellent 'muscle memory' doing the exercises correctly, only adding weights in once you become stronger.) Please don't feel like a 'wimp' if this is your level right now! This is to avoid injury. Injury slows down your progress. If you're hurt, you can't work out! Start where you are and work up to where you want to be. Period.
But, if you've been working out for months, it's time to take off the training wheels please ma'am!
You should be performing all push-ups on your toes, (chin up!) As far as weight size, I suggest 10-20 lbs in each hand when doing squats and lunges. 15-20 lbs in each hand when doing any kind of back or lateral row. 10-15 lbs when doing any kind of bicep exercise. Remember, we don't want to get hurt, but we want to challenge ourselves. If you're doing burpees, squat hops or any abdominal crunches, add in a medicine ball. BUT, don't sacrifice form for weight! Example: If you can't keep the weight all in your heels while you lunge with dumb bells, then you're on the wrong track. Lower the weight, or go back to no weights until you perfect that form.
Go a little harder than you think you can and do it often! You won't die Promise. Breathe deeply, drink tons of water, and carry on.
A note on muscle soreness: It is a myth that if you are not sore after every work out, you didn't work hard enough! When you perform a new exercise, or go up in weight, you are usually sore initially, but the body is miraculously quick to adapt. This means that you can push yourself again the next week with that same exercise and not be sore, while still properly challenging your body. Don't let a lack of soreness be a discouragement. If you push yourself each time to your max, (and get enough rest in between) you'll still see great results!
P.S.-Be sure and have a private little moment with your cellulite and tell it goodbye. I hope it doesn't miss you.

I am taking an online e-course on how to teach art to kids with Patty Palmer at Deep Space Sparkle. Last year I took her amazing course Teaching Art 101 and this year I am taking the next course Beyond the Basics. Patty's blog, her instruction, her ideas....it's all amazing. I highly recommend taking a course from her or purchasing one of her many lesson plans. Our homework for the second week of her Beyond the Basics course is to create and post a lesson based on one of the lessons she taught us in her first or second week of class, BUT to make that lesson into one that can be taught to a different grade/age level than the one she showed us.
MATERIALS NEEDED12X18 White Sulphite Paper
Paper Plate for Large Palette
Paint Brushes
Tempera Paints - White, Black, Blue (or color you will be using)
Paper Towels
Black Permanent Marker
Color Wheel with tints, tones, shades (optional)
AGE GROUP & GOALSGrades 4-6
2 Class Periods
Learning how to make color values, landscapes, and include pattern design
ART WORDS USEDLine, contour, organic, shape, color, warm colors, cool colors, tints, tones, shades, gradient, value, hue, horizon, landscape, foreground, middle ground, background, perspective, depth of field, pattern
First, have the students design their landscape contour line drawing, with at least 5 "layers" of landscape features. Show examples of different landscape formation shapes and discuss the concepts of landscape drawing using foreground, middle ground and background and horizon line. This is also a great lesson to show the students how things get lighter in color as they are farther away. A color wheel (with tints, shades and tones) to show overhead or pass around the class would be a great addition.
One the students have their simple line drawing complete, have them choose their main tempera color. They will count how many "layers" there are in their design and make that many different tints and shades and tones, including their original paint color.
Demonstrate this part first - starting in the center of their plate have them make a quarter sized dollop of original paint. Then have them make the corresponding amount of dollops around their plate. The original paint color will be one of their middle layers on their drawing. However many layers they have above the original color will become tints and the students will add white to those dollops - more white equals a lighter tint. However many layers they have below the original color layer will be shades (or tones if you'd like to delve into grays). Those dollops will have SMALL drops of black paint added to them.
Caution the students on how quickly black can "GO WRONG" if added with a heavy hand. That is why we start with small dollops of paint, the dollops will increase in size as we add the black and white. They can start mixing their paint, starting with the tints. Each student should have a paper towel to dry wipe their brush in between color mixing and painting. No need to have water at the tables. It should only be needed for clean-up.
The students can start at either end of their drawing, working from tints to shades or vice versa, just encourage good brush wiping. Tempera paint is fairly forgiving with it's blending, but they want to keep definite contrast between their mixed tints and shades. They will complete the painting of each layer before wiping their brush and moving on to the next layer.
If they would like to add some clouds or some top layer element with white, they may do so.
The paintings will dry quickly and next session they can add the permanent marker.
The first step will be to outline each landscape layer. It is fine for some layers to be the same shade but have a line dividing the "mountains" or "hills" in that particular layer. It will make for more fun patterns to be able to include in the next step.
Again, you could show some simple design pattern examples or have the kids generate their own pattern ideas and share some of them on a white board. Some zentangles, though more detailed than desired for this lesson, would be fun to show the students. However, you do want to stress that the color value layers still need to show through the pattern design, or they will lose the effect of the value range of their landscape. So simple designs with less solid lines and shapes are the most desired patterns for this lesson.
When they get to the sky and/or clouds, encourage then to continue with their patterns, still making sure not to overwhelm the lightest part of their painting.
And there we have it - our value landscape study with added pattern design for older grades!

Jasmine Fiore's friends and family gathered at a ranch in Santa Cruz, CA on Sunday -- and the private ceremony was decorated with a bunch of old photos of the former model.
We're told the emotional memorial was held at the estate of Joanna Miller -- granddaughter of Walt Disney -- because Jasmine was good friends with Joanna's son.
We're told a larger, public memorial for Jasmine will be held on October 4 in Las Vegas.

Wagaya unfortunately follows the growing number of restaurants with a time limit on their tables, so we settled for an early dinner with friends (from 6pm until 8pm). They only also hold the tables for 10 minutes, so I was a little panicky about everyone making it on time.
We did end up having a good time, and in my opinion the menu is so extensive, that even that is a good enough reason to go back. The restaurant also has a large selection of colourful cocktails to chose from which together with the other unusual stuff is enough to attract the young crowd.
Dragon water - Shochu based cocktail with oolong tea

The service is almost as quick as in Russia where they are infamous of taking away your plates as soon as they are empty, and I can't help feeling that with the time limit on place we are rushed to get out. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience and I hope it won't take me another two years to go back and try what else this place has to offer.

Millions of dollars are spent on creating Super Bowl commercials and millions more go to paying for the ad time to air the spots during the game, reaching a one-of-a-kind global audience. For some observers, the commercials are as much fun -- and as important -- as the game itself. Here are my top-ten picks.

Comics, book, and DVD reviews (and occasional eruptions of other kinds)

Good for you.
Because - BRRRR! - I've looked up reviews of the DMC, and it sounds like signing your soul over to Satan, on a day where he's particularly clumsy with his records. "Oh whoops, didn't see that you stated on no uncertain terms that you didn't want us to charge your account and send you these titles. Have fun not paying the bills you now lack the money for!"
I keep finding all these horror stories and negative reviews of the Movie Club, so I'm absolutely NOT taking my chances with them. It sounds like even canceling your DMC account is a hopeless nightmare.
It truly sucks when I realize this is probably what they had in mind all along, to consciously withhold Disney Afternoon "finishing" sets from the fans for several years, and then give them a big middle finger by releasing these sets as DMC exclusives. "You want these? Here, sign this contract, and don't mind the fine pr- er, ink stain!"
I'm even starting to regret signing up for their new D23 site just so I could read a couple of flimsy, bare-bones articles, because even though they don't have my bank account info, they now have my email address and I'm sure to be pestered into oblivion with announcements I don't care about.
Like you, I'll have to resort to the slimy eBay scalpers if I want these things, because anything's cheaper than selling your soul, right? And for every scalped DVD set sold, none of the revenue will reach Disney themselves, so it won't show them that the Disney Afternoon is still very much in demand, and they won't pay it the attention it's been sorely lacking for the past decade and a half.
Gads! Seems like getting the 2-hour cuts of the TV specials on DVD singles is only a pipe dream after all...

As a veteran C# developer yourself, I'm sure you're familiar with the
statement. Since it is a statement this means you cannot effectively use this
ever-so-useful construct in an expression, such as in a LINQ query. This is a
shame, and it irks me greatly that I have to resort to emulating the switch
behavior with a series of chained ternary operators (a ? b : c ? d : e ? f : g
…) in LINQ. Lucky for you, I am more susceptible to NIH than any man alive.
I felt the need to investigate options in making a functional
expression for C#, or an equivalent cheap look-alike :). LINQ is great at
expressing basic data transformation operations like joins, groupings,
projections, etc., but it's not so great at conditional processing. A foreach
loop with a switch statement would be a better engine for this type of task,
but frankly sometimes it's just too tempting to start off by writing a LINQ
query to get the job done. Using LINQ brings you the benefits of not having to
worry about implementation details while also not increasing your bug surface
area when you implement these basic transformations wrong. Let's look at an
example naive query that needs to do conditional processing:
from line in lines
where line.Length > 0
let cols = line.Split('\t')
where cols.Length == 2
let row = new {
// 'A' = added, 'D' = deleted, 'M' = modified
operation = cols[0].Trim(),
data = cols[1].Trim()
let added = "added " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString()
let deleted = "deleted " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString()
let modified = "modified " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString()
select (row.operation == "A") ? added
: (row.operation == "D") ? deleted
: (row.operation == "M") ? modified
: String.Empty
This works but is wasteful in terms of processing since we're always
generating the
deleted, and
modified strings regardless of the
input condition. The more dependent variables you introduce, the more waste
the query has to generate and select out. What we really want here is a
switch statement, but a statement cannot belong in an expression.
Expressions may only be composed of other expressions. Let's see how this
query transforms when I introduce my Case() extension method that I wrote for
from line in lines
where line.Length > 0
let cols = line.Split('\t')
where cols.Length == 2
let row = new {
// 'A' = added, 'D' = deleted, 'M' = modified
operation = cols[0].Trim(),
data = cols[1].Trim()
select row.operation.Case(
() => String.Empty, // default case
Match.Case("A", () => "added " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString()),
Match.Case("D", () => "deleted " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString()),
Match.Case("M", () => "modified " + row.data + " " + File.ReadAllLines(row.data).Length.ToString())
Through the use of generic extension methods and lambda expressions, we're
able to get a lot of expressibility here. This overload of the Case()
extension method accepts first a default case lambda expression which will
only be invoked when all other cases fail to match the source value, which in
this case is
row.operation's value. What follows is a
params CaseMatch<T,
U>[] which is C# syntactic sugar for writing something along the lines of
new CaseMatch<T, U>[] { ... } at the call site. These
CaseMatch<T, U>s are
small containers that hold the case match value and the lambda expression to
invoke to yield the result of the case expression if the match is made. We use
lambdas so that the expression to return is not evaluated until the match is
made. This prevents unnecessary work from being done or causing side effects.
Think of it as passing in a function to be evaluated rather than hard-coding
an expression in the parameter to be evaluated at the call site of the Case()
extension method. There are two generic arguments used:
T and
represents the type you are matching on and
U represents the type you wish
to define as the result of the Case() method. Just because you are matching on
string values doesn't mean you always want to return a string value from your
case expressions. :) A small static class named
Match was created which
houses a single static method
Case in order to shorten the syntax of
CaseMatch<T,U> instances. Since static methods can use type
inference to automagically determine your
T and
U generic types, this
significantly shortens the amount of code you have to write in order to define
cases. Otherwise, you would have to write
new CaseMatch<string, string>("A",
() => "added" + row.data) each time. Which looks shorter/simpler to you? When
you call the Case() extension method, the
CaseMatch<T,U> params array is
processed in order and each test value is compared against the source value
which Case() was called on. If there is a match, the method returns the
evaluated lambda for that case. There is no checking for non-unique test
values, so if you repeat a case only the first case will ever receive the
match. It is an O(n) straightforward algorithm and does no precomputation or
table lookups. Another overload of Case() is available for you to provide an
IEqualityComparer<T> instance. This is a big win over the switch
statement IMO, which to the best of my knowledge does not allow custom
equality comparers to perform the matching logic and is limited to the
behavior set forth by the C# language specification. With this ability, you
could specify
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase in order to do case-
insensitive string matching, something not easily/safely done with the switch
statement. The ability to supply a custom IEqualityComparer

Goldman Sachs attorney defends firm in Dragon trial
Lawyers for Goldman Sachs said Tuesday the investment bank was not at fault for the losses owners of a Boston area tech firm, Dragon Systems Inc., incurred after the Belgium company that bought their business in 2000 collapsed from fraud just months after the acquisition.
The bank's lawyers opened their defense of a lawsuit brought by the founders of Dragon in US Court in Boston. James and Janet Baker, along with two other co-founders, sued Goldman Sachs, which they hired to assist in the acquisition, for allegedly misleading them into accepting an all-stock transaction worth $580 million with Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products. When the company went bankrupt, its stock became worthless and the Bakers and other Dragon shareholders lost millions of dollars.
"Lernout & Hauspie was a fraud. They cooked the books and it was a highly sophisticated scheme that took years to unravel,'' said John Donovan of the Boston firm of Ropes & Gray who is representing Goldman Sachs in the trial. But, he said, "Goldman's job wasn't to detect fraud.''
The suit against Goldman is the culmination of years of litigation over the sale of Dragon Systems, which pioneered the speech recognition technology that today is produced by Nuance Communications Inc. of Burlington.
Goldman's role in the merger that closed in June 2000 was to structure a deal and determine the terms of the transaction, said Donovan. "Financial accounting diligence was not Goldman's job,'' he said.
Goldman advised Dragon to have accountants to look closer at Lernout & Hauspie's books, he said. But Donovan also noted that at the time of the sale Dragon had been losing money and its executives were desperate to accept the Lernout offer.
While Dragon co-founder James Baker admitted in testimony Tuesday the company was having financial problems, he said Goldman should be held liable for his losses because it was among many financial advisers and accountants that were in a position to stop the deal.
On Monday, the Bakers' attorney Alan Cotler, a Philadelphia lawyer, said Goldman Sachs was in fact in a position to uncover trouble at Lernout & Hauspie. "Goldman Sachs was supposed to have been advising and doing due diligence on Lernout & Hauspie,'' he said. But instead, said Cotler, it remained positive about the deal and hid skepticism.
The Bakers, who started Dragon Systems in their West Newton home in 1982, have already collected $70 million in legal settlement from other suits related to the merger with Lernout & Hauspie. The couple and the other co-founders, Paul Bamberg and Robert Roth, are asking for as much as $264 million in damages from Goldman Sachs.

His fighting skill is C when not serious and B when serious. If something were to trigger him he jump to S. Also had potential to train into that level of skill. Please note I evaluate most Teigu user skill A rank.

^ I think that's a fair evaluation of Tatsumi's ability. C in normal. B when serious. S during special occasions. In most of the fights, he's normally in serious mode. The only time he's really accessed his S Rank mode is the fight against the Original Big 3 (whom I consider to be A Rank) under Esdes.
Even with where I'm at, Tatsumi has yet to have a fight that surpassed the one against the Big 3.

The C, B, S rank is kinda like on how Indra based Isse.
Though more of B in both Normal and Serious and SSS in special occasion (Isse)...
Akame did mentioned he has general class potential earlier... so it's to be expected...
Even with few defeats here and there...
BUt just how strong are general class?
Esdes aside (Even though they didn't shewed us how she wins against the north), there's the one mentioned equal on her power and higher in rank and two gens that switched sided...
The limit or peak of his growth is still unknown...

I believe the leader of Night Raid is also a former general of the empire. She's powerful enough to defeat Akame with Murasame while she herself doesn't possess any teigu. And when we think that both Leona and Tatsumi as well as Bulat have teigu that can increase their physical power greatly (the whole point of having Exclusio and Lion Belt), and still can't be compared to the boss who doesn't have one. That's general class for you...
When will he reach that level anyway!?

Well, I decided to give it a read and quickly went searching for the raw afterwards.
This is a good read, although the deaths of many characters got me surprised at first, but it was still kinda refreshing.
And lol at the interesting pairing HeroXEvil Boss. Although she is hardly evil, just has a different views of things.
Looking forward to new chapters!

Usually in this Manga we have the back story of the main characters and sometimes the enemy. So what is the back story of Esdes? Darkskiper said she isn't evil, well not a lot. So what makes her that or does she just enjoy killing 400,000 people?

This Manga is really starting to look like the things in the Crusades. Rape, torture, poverty, disease, women selling off their body, corruptions, war, and hmm did I forget anything? Oh yes, it does separate it itself from real life however, monsters don't exist in our world.

Esdes is "evil", don't think theres anyway around that, she may have a sorta "innocence" about her(mostly with Tatsumi from what I've seen).
I guess you could say she doesn't see her actions as evil(but I doubt that) but no matter what anyone says it's all inherently evil by nature.
Even if the author wanted to try to salavge any kinda sympathy for her throughout the story from here, I don't see it working, at least not on me.
Yes I do like her in her villianess ways and her falling for Tatsumi will lead to some juicy melodrama/drama and what not but by the end I do expect Tatsumi to cut her down.
Call it predictable if you want but thats not always a bad thing, just depends on how it's handled.
And Tatsumi/Esdes has got potential for some great story.
I even expect the emperor to die a horrible death, I know it might be that whole "they don't know better" nonsense buy given how this series goes I don't expect that excuse to fly.
Well I guess I expect alot of characters to die in either a glorious or horrible death, can't really have it any other way can we?

Chapter 10
Pretty emotional chapter this time in many ways and not just dealing with aftermath of Schere's death either. I really like how the Mangaka/s events of story so far.
Esdese is now back so there is big clash coming ahead, and with the bosses at the Revolution Army directly ordering targets suggests that they maybe getting ready to move out. It pretty interesting that someone like her would want to experience love, even the PM and the Emperor were shocked.
EDIT: Leone getting her Tegiu from the Black Market dealer because of her big boobs was pretty amusing too.

Iron Maw, it is pretty much how it works in real life. The Night Raid is similar to a group of Special Forces. People die all the time, even my cousin who worked as a Chef in a Navy Ship saw people dying a lot. He kept composed until he came home and the tears fell like waterfalls. Remember what happened a year ago, SEAL Team 6 got killed yet we don't see any crying from their fellow SEALS. Ch 10 demonstrates that, sometimes you have to keep it in for the sake of moral then unleash it when it is inevitable. Wonder what is going to happened next, the popularity is growing everyday meaning translation are going to come quicker. What is this manga anyway, is it weekly or monthly?

definately monthly you don't get that many pages in a weekly manga, (or even most monthlies funnily enough...).
I find it ironic the main character made an in story declaration about him not dying, I guess that's the authors way of telling us that everyone else is fair game.

No it is clear Newbie talk. Friend in the military told me many new recruits makes the statement they will live through everything and come home intact during their first tour. Though we all know what war look like, not as clearly as those on the ground with weapons, but we do get the picture. Still I believe the way the author did torture in the Manga seem to over exaggerated though it mirrors what Vietnam War POW faced. The part where Tatsumi hit himself to wake up and say this is reality is pretty nice. Sure hell would do it to the people who disrespect military. If I had the power to teach people a lesson of what people in the military do for us, I will probably dropped them off in Zambia and see how long they last if they think the military is worthless.

Clarste already summed up pretty much everything I wanted to say, just one minor addition:
Mami was a VICTIM.
Kyubey forced her into the contract when she was dying and had no choice. So yes, while pitching the dangerous life she hated so much to two other girls was a pretty nasty and selfish thing to do, but with her backstory taken into account, it's understandable.

she's evil in a sense that she's dragging two innocent girls into a dangerous world with her
yet her true intentions could just been that she wants friends.
Lovely summary Clarste
I wanted to hate her in the first 2 eps, now I am not so sure. Hopefully there are a lot more characters in this show that shares the same level of ambiguity.

Well said, Clarste. Very nice summary.
...I want her back. *grabs Kyubey by the neck* BRING HER BACK, YOU LITTLE DEMON!
If someone wishes for her to be brought back to life, I would actually be more accepting of an ending where she would eventually die again because they have to stop Kyubey, and that will undo all the wishes. It would be bittersweet, and it would still hurt, but it wouldn't be this horrible.

Mami wasn't evil, she was misguided. A lonely person seeking friendship in the hell she unintentionally (somewhat) threw herself into and she just couldn't bear the loneliness when Madoka offered to be by her side.
I feel relieved that she did not end up being the decieving-type of character but her character as a whole is just one big tragedy. It's just so saddening.

Episode 4 will defiantly be very deciding on fan's speculations on if a certain wish comes true. But I found Mami to not really be evil like HitoriTomoyo said, she was merely forced into the situation from what was happening the past. She even felt light from all the burdens and loneliness in herself when Madoka offered to form a duo with her.

I feel strongly that something's amiss here. Without clarification of Kyubey and Mami's relation to each other, it will be difficult to give a proper postmortem to the character (if she does not come back).
It is clear that she was... 'coerced' into forming that contract. However, too much gap exist with understanding her drive. What few fragments exist shows that she's seeking comrade and that the weight of the world is heavy on her...

Ofcourse, I dont like Kyubey either, I am still rooting for that blackhaied girl(whos name isnt stated enoiugh for me to remember) to kill him. But in regards to Mami, it was just how things went down.
I was unsurprised at Mami's death though(and i mightve been the only one not surprised) but first, the hints at the magical girl thing being survivalgame-esque have been there since episode 2, and as this is labled as seinen the possibility of things getting brutal was there.
Which brings me to this: I didnt like Mami as a person much. In manyways her actions were understandable, but I dont like when someone tries to share misery with others in order to fend off lonliness. Whats more, until this incident it seemed Madoka and Sayaka had a grander idea about becoming a mahou shoujo than what it was in reality. Mami's overconfident nature mightve been an unintentional catalyst for this. Regardless, that overconfident nature led to her undoing. She was warned after all.
But thatss not to say that I wouldnt have grown to like her if she werent a fine red paste right now. Actually though, the only character I truly like so far is the girl who saved Madoka and Sayaka.
EDIT: Oh and I doubt she is revived. There is certainly a possibility for it that I wont deny, but as anyone who has read or seen a true survival series like Gantz knows: You dont come back from the "Oh shi--" kind of deaths. regarless of who you are. It would take the shock value and damage it for the rest of the show.

She would also not have suffered terrible loneliness, the trauma of hunting down fallen magical girls (supposing it's true), and the temptation and moral degradation of choosing to entice free girls into the same torturous servitude inorder to assuage her loneliness.
A life of slavery in the service of evil is no favor.
In fact I can think of no worse slavery than one which does not physically coerce Mami into doing terrible things, but instead plays upon her psychological weaknesses.

It's been bothering me about how the battle with Charlotte ended. Was it because she was so happy after hearing out Madoka that she wasn't fighting carefully enough?
Or when Homura said Mami's never fought anything like Charlotte before, that Mami had really never had a battle with a witch that strong? I just assumed since episode 1 that Mami was as strong or more powerful then Homura. She's been shown to be extremely good with shooting too. But the way she lost like that when Homura overwhelmed the witch didn't sit well with me.
Could Mami have won if she had been more cautious? I figured the first form of the witch was protecting its true form so it would not possible to defeat it unless it cames out of its shell. Maybe Mami's potential as a magical girl was not as strong as the others. Each of her rifles are one shot and she has to create more and grab them and re-aim. In comparison to Homura who was dishing out those energy blasts things freely that were way more powerful then one shot from those guns (Tiro Finale level kind of attack?).
I feel really sad after seeing her go like this but I hope reviving people is impossible in that world. At most, I wouldn't mind if her spirit somehow helps or talks with Madoka in a really brief moment near the end.

Think of it like this: Deep in the ocean there is a fish that has an attenae with a luminecent glow at the end. The purpose is to entice other fish to that glow because there is no light deep in the ocean. The fish finally get close and BAM, the fish with the antennae eats them in a single motion and bite before they can get away.
The thing is, the witch in this instance wasnt very strong, but because Mami had to much confidence in her abilities, she was lured into an easy conquest and killed instantly after she thought the battle was over.
However, I suspect Akemi is far stronger and more experienced than Mami was, and that Mami was just assuming she was stronger. I mean, Akemi didnt even break out her mahoushoujo gear for that battle.

Personally, i think the witch was simply stronger than anything Mami has faced. While i can see how one could arrive to the conclusion that Mami would be as strong as Homura, given that the later always backed down from confrontation, that doesn't necessarily say much about their relative strength. Homura simply didn't have a bone to pick with Mami - she said herself she would want to avoid fighting her. While Mami probably perceived that as lack of confidence on Homura's part, i believe it simply meant what she said - that she doesn't want to fight her. While outwardly Homura doesn't have the friendliest disposition, that doesn't mean she would take any pleasure in walking over Mami in order to achieve her goal. Rather, her goal is one - to prevent Madoka from becoming a MG. Does fighting / beating mami help her accomplish this in any way ?
What i am trying to say is - while i can see how one would assume Mami to be on Homura's level or stronger (which is likely what she assumed herself as well) - that is an assumption based on the fact Homura never chose to confront Mami in a battle. Which is an assumption drawn from a false conclusion - that Houmura's objective is to weed out potential competition for the seeds, and thus her not attacking must be a sign of weakness. But that simply isn't Homura's goal, thus her avoiding battle (and appearing weaker as result) with Mami is not a stepping stone for judging her actual ability.
Besides, we have nothing to judge Mami's power against. Was she strong ? Weak ? We simply don't know, because up to this point, we had nothing to compare her to. She looked to handle herself pretty well in a fight indeed, but this is actually information that exists in a vacuum - for all we know, she might have been weak by MG standards and had gotten lucky with witches thus far (She took some punding against the rose bush as well, it wasn't a flawless victory for her). Or she could be of average ability, and Houmura is simply stronger (which i think is the most likely case). We can assume Homura to be more experienced as well - after all she somehow spotted this witch to be a strong one, something which eluded Mami until it was too late.
Could Mami have won if she were more cautious ? I am not sure - while it is likely she considered she had already won, it's not like she had turned her back to the witch. I believe the implication was that the witch simply moved too fast for Mami. Could she have dodged if she was ready to ? Hard to say, but overall, considering Mami's fighting style and time needed to set up a big attack (and the witch took a fair deal of pounding before going down), and the speed of this particular witch, it was probably a losing battle either way.
So ...yeah. I would say that the conclusion of Mami being strong compared to Homura is likely a false one, as it is actually based on lack of information (Homura hadn't fought up to this point, so no way to actually gauge her power) and misinterpretation on her intentions and thus what her backing down from fights with Mami implied.
As to why she didn't break out of Mami's binding ... well, she was caught outside her MG setup, and it could be that the girls don't posses any special ability unless transformed, which the binding likely prevented her from doing.

Someone pointed out (on another forum) that Homura used a specific strategy for beating Charlotte ( which is a different topic altogether, and one that involves speculation about time travel). Homura used her movement ability to evade the creature and her bomb-dropping ability to strike at her opponent from inside its body. Mami never even got a hit in against Charlotte's second form, for that matter. Mami might have been able to kill Charlotte if she'd had enough distance to dodge and enough time to create a musket spam, but she never pulled back when Charlotte went into her second form.

Yeah, I shoulda gave Homura more credit but I had a little bias towards her because of stuff that happened in the episode. I'm probably still trying to get used to her because she's been cold and distant. Since Mami is older I thought she was a magical girl for way longer then Homura. Guess I was way off.
Charlotte was attacking Homura non-stop and it could stretch like crazy. Mami would of had a hard time dodging all the time while fitting in the chance to attack back. On the other hand, Homura didn't even equip her shield for that fight...

I've posted a rant for just about every character in this little anime. Now I just have to tacle Homura, who's friggin' hard to speculate about because of how little screen time she has.

Stars edge Senators to earn shootout victoryby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- The Dallas Stars had to battle to the very end to claim victory after blowing a pair of leads, including giving up the tying goal to the Ottawa Senators with less than 10 seconds remaining in the third period.
Jamie Benn scored in the shootout and Kari Lehtonen stopped all three Ottawa shooters to give Dallas a 4-3 win Sunday.
Benn scored on Dallas' second attempt in the tiebreaker on Robin Lehner, who replaced an injured Craig Anderson early in overtime.
Ottawa's Bobby Ryan scored the tying goal with 9.6 seconds left in the third period to send the game to overtime. The Senators scored twice in the second to overcome a 2-0 deficit.
"We're going to have to learn how to win, and again, we made it tough on ourselves," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "We're going to have to fix a few of those mistakes we made and get a greater understanding of when you're up 2-0 in a game what kind of opportunities you want to give up and how hard you want to try to score.
"We just gave up a 2-on-1 on the power play and we gave up a 3-on-1 right after that. It wasn't from lack of trying, but our smarts weren't good enough."
With Anderson on the bench for an extra attacker, Ryan broke his stick on a shot from the slot when he beat Lehtonen to even it at three after taking Milan Michalek's centering pass from behind the net.
"I wasn't able to see the puck coming, so I was kind of guessing, maybe he's going right blocker, and maybe he was, but his stick broke and it just kind of trickled in," said Lehtonen, who stopped 33 shots in regulation and overtime. "We just have to be a little sharper, everybody on the ice at that point. It looked great, 20 seconds left and we had the puck and they couldn't pull the goalie, then it all changed quickly."
Anderson left the game at 1:44 of overtime after he was run over by Stars rookie Valeri Nichushkin. The Ottawa goalie was taken off on a stretcher, but gave a thumb's up and a wave to fans at Canadian Tire Centre.
"It's scary," Ryan said. "It's one of those plays that I think it's even worse when you see the replay and the way he kind of got jammed in there. You never want to see it, but it's just a kid going to the net hard and you can't really do anything about it, but it's certainly in the back of your mind for the next four minutes, whatever it was."
Anderson had made 33 saves when he was replaced by Lehner, who stopped both of the shots he faced in overtime.
Senators coach Paul MacLean said that Anderson had a stiff neck and would be evaluated further, but otherwise was fine. He did not expect that Anderson would be available to play Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Antoine Roussel scored an unassisted goal at 3:11 of the third period to put Dallas ahead 3-2. Roussel got credit for his first goal of the season after Ottawa rookie defenseman Mark Borowiecki, who made his season debut, put the puck past Anderson into his own net while trying to clear the crease.
"You feel for him, I think, more than the other guys in the room because he's coming up and it's his first game," Ryan said. "I thought he played really well. I thought his hit there in the second kind of generated some of what we did there in the second, so the guys had his back.
"It's one of those plays where you can't find the hole to hide in big enough and we told him to shake it off and he did, and he came back and responded. You can't really get mad at a guy for that. That's just an honest mistake."
Borowiecki, who played eight games with the Senators over the last two seasons, expressed his gratitude to Ryan for sending the game to overtime.
"I went and gave him a tap after," Borowiecki said. "I told him I owe him a beer, so I think all the guys feel for you on a play like that."
Ray Whitney scored his first goal of the season for Dallas at 17:03 of the first period. Nichushkin made it a 2-0 with his first NHL goal at the 30-second mark of the second.
Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza tied it with goals later in the second for the Senators, whose winless streak reached a season-high five games (0-3-2).
"It's frustrating when you give up leads like that," Whitney said. "We've done it a couple of times now in the year and part of growing as a group and growing as a team, especially when you're young, is trying to play with the lead, and at times we've done a job of it, and at times we haven't.
"And tonight, we actually did a not-bad job until that, obviously, until that last three or four minutes. They turned it up and had some good chances, but Kari's been there and he was great again [Sunday]."
Dallas outshot Ottawa 19-9 in the first, including Benn's scoring chance off a set-up from Nichushkin 28 seconds after the opening faceoff. A video review upheld the on-ice ruling that Anderson had kept the puck from crossing the goal line.
Senators defenseman Jared Cowen was caught pinching on the Stars' opening goal. Whitney drove the right side and fired a slap shot over Anderson's left shoulder into the top right corner.
Ottawa defenseman Chris Phillips was also caught up ice on Dallas' second goal, following through on a check on Benn along the boards. Nichushkin took Brenden Dillon's drop pass and beat Anderson with a wrist shot from the top of the right faceoff circle.
Karlsson scored on a 3-on-1 at 7:41 of the second period to draw Ottawa to within 2-1. The Senators had successfully killed off Chris Neil's double minor moments earlier when Kyle Turris sent Ryan away on a break down the ice with Karlsson and only defenseman Stephane Robidas back for Dallas.
Ryan passed as Robidas sprawled to the ice to block and Karlsson snapped a one-timer past Lehtonen for his fourth goal.
Karlsson got his second point of the period with an assist on Spezza's goal. Turris took Karlsson's pass and drove a slap shot from the left point that struck the end boards and bounced out front to Spezza, who evened it at two with his eighth goal.
Nichushkin showed his standout speed early with a rush from his zone through the middle that he turned into a breakaway as he blew past Patrick Wiercioch, who took a hooking penalty on the play at 12:41 of the first for his second minor of the opening period after Anderson turned aside the 18-year-old Russian.
Borowiecki dished out a couple of solid hits in the second, including an open-ice hit on Nichushkin as he entered the Ottawa zone that sent the rookie's stick flying.
Dallas left wing Ryan Garbutt returned after serving his five-game suspension for an illegal hit on Dustin Penner of the Anaheim Ducks.
David Johnston, Canada's Governor General, was on hand for the Senators' 10th annual Armed Forces Appreciation Day. Johnston was in full military dress as he dropped the puck between team captains Benn and Spezza for the ceremonial opening faceoff.
About 3,000 Canadian armed forces personnel were among the crowd of 18,106 on hand for the game.

Some want to deny any special gifts to Jesus, to a "historical Jesus," because either they have no faith or because He had "emptied himself" of anything divine in becoming man: He "emptied himself, taking on the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Phil 2:7). The general name for this aspect of christology which emphasizes the emptying out is called kenotic christology after the Greek verb kenoo, "to empty." Since there are extreme interpretations of St. Paul's words, his meaning here should be explained.
First of all, the God–man Christ could not empty himself of His divine nature as such. God cannot stop being God; He cannot act against His own nature, and this requires that just as He always was, He always must be. Thus St. Paul speaks of His "equality with God" (2:6).
The emptying does not touch what is essential to God but what is in a sense separable. Thus the Son of God chose not to appear on earth as God could rightfully appear in a human form, as He briefly did at the Transfiguration. "Taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" does not demonstrate more than the lowly human estate with which we are familiar in the Gospels.
Some scholars want to deprive Him of charismatic gifts, but the Gospels are clear that He did not renounce them, as is shown by the many miracles He worked and also by the gift of prophecy. He also did not give up the divine prerogative of forgiving sin (Mk 2:1).
There are ready examples in the Gospels as to what He emptied himself of by His becoming man. The all-powerful God who created the universe from nothing by His will alone becomes for us a completely dependent baby. The Word "through whom all things were made and without Him was not anything made that was made" (Jn 1:3) now works at the trade of a small-town carpenter. "The true light that enlightens every man who comes into the world" (ibid. 1:9) keeps public silence for 30 years. The divine beauty which is the inexhaustible delight of the angels (as it will be for us) has His face struck, spit upon and crowned with thorns. As a man who never sinned nor inherited Adam's sin, He had a right to a life of peace, joy and freedom from death, but He accepted insults, a scourging and finally the death of a criminal.
Yet he retained all the glory of His divinity in the sight of God the Father, the Holy Spirit and the angels. After His resurrection and ascension, His human nature has all that could be given to Him as a man — although forever this human nature as such will necessarily imply an "emptying" because no created nature is the divine nature. But forever it will express in its way the infinite goodness, mercy and love of God.
For those who are disinclined to accept mystery, even on the testimony of God, the lack of being a human person seems to make Christ unlike us, without a "truly human center of self-possession and operation" or without self-determination or self-consciousness. Such difficulties seem to have at their root a confusion between nature and person. By His human nature Jesus had both a human intelligence and a human will. Therefore, like us, He could reflect on himself (as being both human and divine) and on His actions and their consequences, as He surely did when He raised Lazarus from the dead and when He entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday: actions in both cases confirming His enemies in their plot for His death. His human will responded to the divine will in the Garden of Gethsemane, and He survived that last great temptation manfully.
Some of the difficulty comes from our acceptance of the familiar everyday meaning of "person," whereas in theological context this notion of "person" is a refined and exclusive concept. We all recognize it by a sort of intuition. Our friends, for instance, are not a conglomeration of highly organized atoms, nor are we as persons only the sum of our appearance, instincts, traits, past experiences and attitudes. Even though these are essential in identifying the person exteriorly, they are not the "I" which is the person. Nor is the spiritual soul the "I"; animals have the equivalent of the "I" on a lower level, and yet they do not have a spiritual soul.
The lack of a human "person" does not mean that Jesus lacked a human personality in the modern sense of that word. To avoid the misunderstanding, it would be better to use a more generic theological expression from metaphysics and say that He lacks a human subsistence. Nothing of human nature was lacking, nor does His closeness to the divine nature impair anything of His human nature. There is nothing human that He could not think, feel or do — except what would involve fallen human nature or sin. But this last exception does not make Him any less human. As with ourselves, the closer we are to God the more truly human we are too, as is easily seen in some of the saints. Jesus' divine personhood, like our own human personhood, did this: it made Him separate or distinct from all other beings; it was the perfection of His identity constituting His "I" as distinct from all others, and it made God the responsible source of all His thoughts, words and actions.
We tend to think in physical terms and relate everything to a place, but this is impossible with Jesus in the Hypostatic Union. God is not localized. For instance we would be able to join two people together by surgery. But this is not the way that the human nature of Jesus is joined to the Divine Person. The Divine Person is not confined to a place any more than God is confined to a place. We cannot say that a part of the Divine Person touches a part of His soul or body. The whole of the Divine Person is involved in the whole of Christ the man. This joining in the person is deep and immediate, including the body as well as to the soul of Jesus.
Because of this union Jesus is holy as no one else is holy. He has more than a holiness of grace, although His soul is filled with grace and all its effects in the highest measure, as is fitting to its close union with the Divine. It is a holiness greater than His grace of headship (by which we are united to God only through Him). It is rather the union itself which makes Jesus transcendingly holy. By this union His human nature in the divine nature is holy with the holiness of God himself through the Second Person. And yet even such holiness does not destroy or distort the human. Through the coming, the daily living and, eventually, the dying of the same kind of flesh and blood as we have ourselves, we come more clearly to understand and love the Infinity that we would otherwise hardly have known.
