Faith, an attitude of the entire self, including both will and intellect, directed toward a person, an idea, or—as in the case of religious faith—a divine being. Modern theologians agree in emphasizing this total existential character of faith, thus distinguishing it from the popular conception of faith that identifies it with belief as opposed to knowledge. Faith indeed includes belief but goes far beyond it, and in the history of theology the distinction has more often been drawn between faith and works than between faith and knowledge. This distinction was powerfully expressed by the apostle Paul, who argued that the sinful human being cannot achieve salvation through good works, but only through faith in the free grace of God. In this view, forcefully revived by Martin Luther at the time of the Reformation, good works are consequences of faith. The faithful relation to God enables the believer to transcend limitations and bring forth good works.
The most evocative description of faith in the New Testament is found in Hebrews 11:1, where faith is heralded as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Here, the word for faith is the Greek pistis, which denotes the act of giving one's trust. The New Testament conception of faith involves an amplification and an alteration of the older, Hebrew idea of faith as that quality of stability and trust that informs the living relationship between two beings. For the New Testament writers, faith has found its center in the believer's relationship to Jesus Christ. But the New Testament idea of faith goes beyond that of the Hebrew scriptures in its addition of the concept of "belief in" or "belief that." Hence, Christian theology has traditionally distinguished between the "subjective" element in faith, which involves the supernatural action of God upon the human soul, and faith's "objective" component, which is characterized as adherence to a body of truth found in creeds, in definitions of church councils, and especially in the Bible.
During the Middle Ages, Roman Catholic theologians distinguished two kinds of separate but ultimately compatible religious truths: those that are accessible to unaided human reason, such as belief in the existence of God; and those that require faith in order to be grasped, such as belief in the resurrection of the dead. Historically, the Roman Catholic church has defined faith as the complete acceptance of doctrine and of the absolute authority of God in what he reveals or promises to reveal.
Not all Christians have believed that the demands of faith are compatible with those of reason. Many early Christians, including St. Paul and the 2nd-century theologian Tertullian, insisted that faith resembles folly to the eye that has not been opened by the grace of God. In a similar vein, the 19th-century Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard felt that a chasm separates human reason from faith, and that the would-be believer must make a "leap of faith" across this abyss in order to find salvation. In general, modern Protestant theologians have emphasized, as Kierkegaard did, the subjective or individualistic aspect of faith and have concentrated on the risk and moral effort involved in attempting to lead the life of faith, rather than on the acceptance of creeds as an expression of faith.

Books About Town … in London
August 26, 2014
Wouldn't you love to perch upon one of these literarily-themed benches? If you're visiting London, England this summer you can indeed take a seat. In fact, you'll have a choice from among fifty benches positioned throughout the city. The benches will be auctioned off for the benefit of the National Literacy Trust in October 2014. This special event was planned to "celebrate reading for enjoyment" and, in so doing, also show off some of the wonderful artistic talent and strong literary heritage of the city. To read more about this endeavour and to get a glimpse of all the benches, click here. I think visiting the benches in person or even just pictorially will inspire us all to pick up an old, favourite read. Have you been able to guess the titles represented above?
Four different Books About Town Book Bench trails have been established: The Bloomsbury, The City, Greenwich, and Riverside. Relevant literary works in bench form have been positioned along each path. If you would like to vicariously travel a route, then visit one of the map pages.
Souvenir posters are also available for purchase through the travel map and bookstore, Stanford's:
Canadians Read … and Write
July 2, 2014
"I love that Canadians love books, and that we boast a disproportionate number of outstanding authors. I've had the privilege of hosting CBC's Canada Reads for the past seven years. It's a celebration and discovery of homegrown lit. Last year, an American observer wrote, "Let me get this straight: In Canada they have a hit reality show … and it's about books?! Wow." I loved reading that. Pride. " – Jian Ghomeshi, Broadcaster. Quoted in Canadian Living magazine, July 2014
Have you ever tuned into the above mentioned Canada Reads show on CBC Radio? I've followed along in the last few years and enjoy the lively format of a notable Canadian devotedly defending his or her literary favourite with a panel of fellow debaters. The discussions among panel members are often funny, even feisty, and always entertaining. It's been proven that the final selections and the winning choice enjoy an enormous surge in sales following the show. The past seasons' winners are listed on the website and it is worth a perusal if you're new to the program. Tune in to Jian Ghomeshi on Q on CBC in early September to learn how the 2015 season will unfold.
Sticking with a CBC/Canada theme … CBC Radio has compiled a Canada Day themed list: "100 Novels That Make You Proud to Be Canadian" I found myself impressed by the list itself – such a great collection of books – but, even more impressive, is the fact that all the authors are Canadian. Click on the red banner below to be taken to the page showing all 100 novels. I've included a few of the titles I've read below as a little teaser … How many have you read?
Happy Canada Day and Happy Reading Canadian!
Goodnight June, Goodnight Moon
June 21, 2014
Sarah Jio is a writer from the Seattle area who is enjoying considerable success with her novels: The Violets of March, Blackberry Winter, The Bungalow, The Last Camellia, and Morning Glory to date and more on the way. Book clubs seem to be particularly fond of her creative, multi-generational story lines, often set in the Pacific Northwest. I have read Morning Glory which takes place in a floating home community and look forward to making my way through her other tales.
In her recently released Goodnight June, Sarah has explored generational connections through a beloved classic children's book and it's sure to be a favourite of book and bookshop lovers. The back cover blurb states: "June Andersen is professionally successful, but her personal life is marred by unhappiness. Unexpectedly, she is called to settle her great-aunt Ruby's estate and determine the fate of Bluebird Books, the children's bookstore Ruby founded in the 1940s. Amidst the store's papers, June stumbles upon letters between her great-aunt and the late Margaret Wise Brown — and steps into the pages of American literature."
I've only read the Author's Note and I've already learned all sorts of intriguing trivia. So if you feel like a nostalgic trip to the Green Room and an imaginary visit into the world of books, writers, letters, and bookshops, this may be your next cozy read. I know I'm looking forward to it!
Summer Reading
May 31, 2014
In my opinion, the best reading list, summer or otherwise, offers up a good variety of themes and places to visit, intriguing characters with whom to visit, and challenges to the imagination. An opportunity to come away from the experience having learned something new or having enjoyed a few belly laughs along the way is certainly a bonus. And so, with these parameters in mind, here is a list of books I think are worthy of accompanying you on your summer adventures. I will be choosing from among these titles as I toodle to the deck chair or beach blanket or ferry line. Most are paperback though a few exceptionally well-reviewed new hard covers have made the cut. (Click on above covers for links)
The Typewriter Girl by Alison Atlee
Have had this on my shelf for a while. Summer seems the best time to tuck into its pages as its description reads: "a young woman in turn-of-the-century England finds love and independence at a seashore resort." Light perhaps but engaging view of the times.
The Storied LIfe of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
An enormously popular book with all reviewers. Features a grumpy book shop owner and his emergence into a fresh new approach to life motivated by the arrival of a mysterious package. A charming community of characters and a devotion to books are at play. Count me in!
I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crossley
Released in 2008, this has been on my list to explore for a while. A book of short humorous essays seems like a good choice during the summer and these promise to be entertaining.
The Ghost Horse: A True Story of Love, Death, and Redemption by Joe Layden
This might not be for everyone but I'm already loading the beach bag with tissues in anticipation of this true tale of an underdog filly and her trainer/owner. You'll find the book in the Sports section under Horse-racing but it is a love story too as the trainer finds a connection with his beloved late wife through time spent with the horse.
Studio Saint Ex by Ania Szado
We've talked before about the delicious genre of historical fiction and the fictionalized memoir. Loving Frank by Nancy Horan about Frank Lloyd Wright is perhaps one of the most popular in recent times. Studio Saint Ex is a novel that brings to life Le Petit Prince/The Little Prince author Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Writer Lawrence Hill (The Book of Negroes) sums up perfectly: "Studio Saint-Ex is an unputdownable novel about twentieth century fashion, French expatriates in Manhattan during World War II, the miracle of creative genius and the lives of the great writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery and the women he loved."
The List of My Desires by Gregoire Delacourt (also titled My Wish List)
Translated from a very well loved French edition … just a wee book to sneak in between the long ones. Have you ever played the "If I Won the Lottery …" game? This heartwarming novel takes the dream to a new level in one simple woman's life with thought provoking results.
North of Normal: A Memoir of My Wilderness Childhood, My Unusual Family, and How I Survived Both by Cea Sunrise Person
A memoir of an entirely unique upbringing and how it influenced a young woman's choices in her adult life. Cea Sunrise Person grew up in remote Northern Alberta with her hippy family devoted to escaping civilization. Her life was unorthodox and highlighted as even more so when Cea became a model at the age of 13. Quite a ride and quite a tale.
Love, Nina – A Nanny Writes Home by Nina Stibbe
If you love London, British humour, and a dash of Brit Lit gossip … I read the review in the NYT and knew it would have to be on the list. Nina Stibbe heads to London to serve as a Nanny and finds herself working for a prominent literary figure and her family. During her time there she writes to her sister of her adventures and the real-life characters who spend time with the household, many of them well-known. Her letters are hysterically funny and were only shared with the family and friends much later on at a party. They were such a hit that, with the family's blessing, they have become this cheeky book.
The Circle by Dave Eggers
A modern take on things … Recommended to me by BTB blog reader AM who warned this story makes one think twice about the way we use social media. Prolific writer Dave Eggers writes of an optimistic young woman who gives up her private life to work at a company called the Circle. Promises to be a bit provocative.
The Vacationers by Emma Straub
The one book which appears on almost every single Summer/Beach Reading list this season. Opening the cool as a cucumber cover (still in hardback) reveals an account of a family heading on vacation to Mallorca, Spain. They're bringing lots of baggage, if you catch my drift , and with apparent heartwarming humour sort through the drama over the course of the holiday. Leading best seller lists everywhere.
The Engagements by J. Courtney Sullivan
Newly in paperback, this novel seems to rest comfortably on the fluffy chick-lit shelf (not that that's a bad thing) however, I'm quite intrigued by the real life source of the story. J. Courtney Sullivan has researched the life of Mary Frances Gerety, the copywriter responsible for creating the advertising tag-line "a diamond is forever" for De Beers in the 1940s. Using Mary Frances as inspiration this story explores the lives of a number of women through various decades and social and personal challenges during the twentieth century. A diamond engagement ring links the characters and each plot strand together.
I am Having So Much Fun Here Without You by Courtney Maum
A good stream of humour apparently flows through this novel about an artist and his desire to re-ignite his marriage following his wife's discovery of his wayward ways. Almost every review of this book comments on the humour and the poignancy of this tale and, of particular note, declares this author one to keep an eye on.
So there it is. Let us know what selections you make this summer and be sure to share any others you're reading and loving. A special hello to Janice who when I met her recently for the first time, (You're the Blog lady!) told me of her commitment to reading every book on last year's Summer list. Impressive!
Happy reading, one and all!
The Rosie Project
May 19, 2014
I have yet to meet a Rosie Project reader who hasn't become smitten with the quirky charm of its protagonist and the premise of his "project"; such a universally appealing cast and adventure. If you haven't had a chance to read this yet, do yourself a favour and cuddle up this long weekend with a copy.
Author Graeme Simsion was recently visiting Vancouver from his native Australia and appeared at a Meet the Writer event hosted by the cozy 32 Books bookstore of Edgemont Village in North Vancouver. Graeme Simsion's personal back-story is an intriguing one with several successful career incarnations before the extraordinary success of Rosie allowed him to leave his day job. At one point, he delights in pointing out, he was even "an alien with extraordinary abilities" according to Immigration officials. Graeme's address exuded enthusiasm and good-natured self-deprecating humour – he assesses his success with an Innocent's air of awe at his own good fortune and a cheerful commitment to enjoying the ride. The Rosie Project, which had its start in a short story and then morphed into a screenplay and finally evolved into a novel, is now in the process of becoming a movie. (Starring role actors were not revealed but were happily described as "unexpected" like Russell Crowe was in A Beautiful Mind. That gets the imagination churning!) Graeme did share the good news that a sequel to The Rosie Project, The Rosie Effect, will appear on shop shelves in September. Can't wait!
Blog readers AW, DH and I had a fun, quick chat with the personable Graeme. He is a fierce advocate of the Independent Bookstore and was quick to give credit to an indie book shop for his "Fictional Character" tee-shirt seen in the picture below. (available here) Inevitably, comparisons between the character Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory and Rosie character Dan Tillman are made but Graeme explained he's never seen an episode and will strategically avoid Big Bang viewings in order to remain true to his version of Dan. Dan is in fact inspired by a long-time friend of his.
Graeme expressed concern that any reader ever feel he is ridiculing Dan's Asperger's condition; he indicated it was his goal to simply reveal the social anxieties we all feel and I am sure readers would feel he has indeed done that sensitively and very well.
I enjoy attending these events as it gives one some insight to the humanity behind the stories – a real person, sitting at a real desk or kitchen table, creating our entertainment from a spark of an idea. Hearing Graeme speak only enriched the Rosie experience. I hope you have chances to attend meet-the-writer events soon too!
Dear Mr. Harper …
April 17, 2014
Sometimes I struggle to select a blog post topic, usually due to an excess rather than a dearth of ideas. And sometimes, like today, a most wonderful subject simply lands in my in-box!
After reading the e-mail message (from my boys' high school English teacher) and its contents, I was reminded of my own high school English teachers and their roles in inspiring my interest in, and love for, engaging with the written word. I imagine many of you share a similar experience. What an influential role those teachers have!
Today, a high school teacher and a politician share a refreshing devotion to instilling a love for reading in young minds. Ms. Gin, the English teacher we are fortunate to have teaching the boys in our family, began a project with her students which involved connecting with none other than our country's Prime Minister. The e-mail I received this morning was Ms. Gin's update on this project. Read on and enjoy! (Original letters are followed by text for easier reading)
Dear Mr. Harper:
Over the summer, I came upon a book about books: 101 Letters to a Prime Minister, by Canadian writer Yann Martel. As a high school English teacher, I often find myself in a predicament similar to Mr. Martel's but instead of wondering about what kind of literature piques the mind of our country's leader, my concern lies in our country's youth. What books are of particular importance in shaping the next generation of adults, the next wave of thinkers and leaders?
Inspired by Mr. Martel's steadfast, albeit, one-sided book club, I asked my grade 11s at St. George's School a similar question: If you were to recommend a book to our Prime Minister, what book would you put forth?
Our discussions were so rich and enthusiastic that I knew I had stumbled upon a "teachable moment." What is enclosed in this envelope is a collection of letters from a coterie of energetic, astute and passionate young minds. They have spent a good deal of the past three weeks brainstorming, writing, editing, and sharing their book recommendations. More than anything they hope you will take their painstaking compositions seriously.
While it is widely known that Mr. Martel never received a personal reply from you, my two classes of grade 11s are hopeful that you will not only take the time to peruse their letters, but that you will also honour their work with a reply of your own.
Happy reading.
Ms. Sandra Gin
English Teacher
Thank you for sharing the letters from your Grade Eleven English classes. They clearly demonstrate that a love of reading is alive and well in Canadian schools.
I would like to extend my congratulations on your efforts to promote literacy among your young charges. We are fortunate to have dedicated mentors in our nation's classrooms.
My love of reading was also nurtured at an early age by teachers passionate about the written word. Reading opened up a tremendous window on the world for me, as it has for your students. The local public libraries near my childhood home were places of wonder and exploration.
My late father, Joseph Harris Harper, was an avid researcher and historian. He produced two studies for the Canadian Military of his day – "Old Colours Never Die" and "A Source of Pride". I credit him for instilling my passion for history. Books, of course, have been an integral part of pursuing this great interest.
As your students will be aware, 2015 will mark the bicentennial of the birth of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald. Author Richard Gwyn has written an outstanding two volume biography which I would highly recommend to your students. The Man Who Made Us and Nation Maker present Sir John A's compelling story with great skill. Canadians are in his debt.
On a more personal note, I would like to share a story with your students. In August of 2012, I had a speaking engagement in Amherst, Nova Scotia, on the grounds of the local high school. I was graciously accorded the school's library as my temporary office. It is not often that one has an entire library at one's disposal, and I was compelled to peruse the selection of reading materials on hand.
To my delight, a book entitled Here Stays Good Yorkshire, written by Will R. Bird, was prominently displayed. This historical novel tells the story of hearty immigrants who came to Canada from Yorkshire in the 18th century. My ancestor, Christopher Harper, was part of this early wave of immigrants, and I was deeply moved by this imagined account of experiences that would have been similar to his own.
If I were to offer one piece of advice to your students, who are obviously bright and engaged, I would strongly encourage them to continue reading, both for edification, and for pleasure. And to any budding young authors, I would reiterate that reading voraciously is the best preparation for writing of any kind. I found this to be true when writing my own book, A Great Game. I have enclosed a signed copy for your school library.
In closing, it is my hope that your students will follow in your fine example, and encourage younger students to take up this most fulfilling pursuit.
Sincerely, Stephen Harper
The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
Prime Minister of Canada

Playtime with Proust
April 12, 2014
Quizzes have long been a source of social entertainment, from parlour games in the times of Marcel Proust and Oscar Wilde to present day airport lounge diversions in the pages of Cosmo. One, long-standing in popularity, has come to be known as the Proust Questionnaire and is determined to honestly reveal the character traits and interests of its participant. Though the questionnaire takes the name of Marcel Proust, he was an enthusiastic and witty test-taker rather than the actual creator.
The Proust Questionnaire has come to be used in modern times by a number of talk show hosts, famously by James Lipton of Inside the Actors Studio who asks each guest to complete an adapted version at the end of his or her interview. CBC Radio's The Next Chapter also poses a few of the questions to its guest Writers.
Since 1993, the last page of each issue of Vanity Fair magazine has been devoted to The Proust Questionnaire featuring a different celebrity's responses each time. The best of these pages were collected into a book by VF editor Graydon Carter. Great reading entertainment! You can also link to the magazine's Proust page here and read a few samples.
So are you intrigued enough now to want to answer your own Proust Questionnaire? Here it is!

What is your greatest fear?
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
What is the trait you most deplore in others?

Happiness is … Last Lemon (book lovers)
April 3, 2014
I just discovered the charming work of Last Lemon. They are clearly book lovers and create all sorts of groovy illustrations with smart phrasing attached. I know you'll have fun discovering them for yourselves. (Last Lemon home page) Here are a few of my favourites:
And my ultimate favourite, for obvious reasons …
Storytelling: Humans of New York
March 26, 2014
Many years ago, I spent a summer working in a shop. During the inevitable quiet times, my co-workers and I needed to get innovative in order to avoid debilitating boredom. (It only took so many minutes to tidy the shelves. Clearly it wasn't a book shop or boredom would NEVER have set in!) One of our preferred pastimes was to entertain one another by making up stories about the people walking by the window; the more outlandish the tale we could muster, the better! It was clear to us everyone had a unique story. Now imagine collecting images of the people who pass and learning their real stories. Brandon Stanton is a photographer who began a project whereby he intended to simply archive 10,000 photos of people in the city of New York. After a period of time he began to also record the brief conversations he shared with his subjects. Brandon's gentle kindness and the way he clearly relishes the time he spends with each subject creates lovely moments. And stories … such stories! Poignant, funny, thought-provoking, disturbing, romantic, cheeky … all united in their human-ness. Brandon uploaded the images and, understandably, an enormous following gathered. His blog can be found here at Humans of New York.
The blog beget the book, such a beautiful book …
For a glimpse into Brandon's story, here's a clip:

Fair care for sunbathing and after it
When it comes to sunbathing, one should know that every skin has its individual time of self-protection. While darker skin types can stay up to 30 or 40 minutes in the sun without getting sunburned, the skin type 1 (fair skin and blonde or red) is already risking a sunburn after 5–10 minutes in the midday sun. For this we have our sun care products like our FAIR SQUARED Sun Lotion Apricot with SPF 30. This raises the self-protection time of the skin by the factor of 30. After sunbathing we recommend our After Sun Lotion to nourish the skin.
After sunbathing this soothing After Sun Lotion hydrates and replenishes sun stressed skin. The fairly traded green tea calms, cools and regenerates the skin and leaves it radiant.Not a natural cosmetics product.
Content 50 ml:
EAN Code 4260365851839
Effective sun protection combined with nourishing skin care. Leaves the skin supple while protecting it from UV-A and UV-B rays. For fair skin susceptible to sunburn and in medium to strong sunlight.Not a natural cosmetics product.
Content 50 ml:
EAN Code 4260365854144
High-class fairly traded ingredients for your skin
Like all of our FAIR SQUARED products the sun care ones base on Fairtrade ingredients which we receive from fair trade routes. Determining the product's name, our After Sun Lotion consists of Fairtrade green tea from India which is well-known for its cooling and regenerating characteristics. The valuable composition of the lotion brings back the skin's moisture and elasticity which it has lost during the day. Both products do not count for natural cosmetics since we do not use mineral sun protection and other ingredients which are determined in the underlying guidelines. The result is a fastly absorbed cream which does not leave the skin with a greasy or shining film.

Castle Rock Recap: Long Live The Queen
Last week, as we toured a ransacked Deaver home, we were left wondering what happened to Ruth. Now we know not only her fate, but Alan's, too. The Kid is bad news. So is Alzheimer's. Put the two together and Ruth doesn't stand a chance.
With evil on every side, we retrace Ruth's steps over the past few weeks—from the time The Kid was let out of his cage to the time he made himself king of the castle at the Deaver residence. For Ruth, however, the last few weeks intermingle seamlessly with the last few decades—The Kid becomes a stand-in for her dead husband, the less-than-saintly Reverend Deaver.
This week we get to know who the good Reverend really was—and he wasn't a nice guy. Obsessed with the "voice of god" (the one he heard in the forest the first time he stuck a gun in his ear) he drags Ruth and Henry out into the wild to see if they can hear it too (bonus: he also scares the daylights out of them). Finally, Henry says he can hear it—but is he lying to appease his terrifying father, or is it real?
"Is it real?" is the central question of the entire episode as we drift through Ruth's jumbled timeline anchored only by a chess set Alan gave her. The chess pieces remind her she's in the present each time she gets caught up in the past. She's lucid enough to do things like search for Matthew's old gun, find the bullets (in a VERY inconvenient location), and send Henry's son running to safety (hopefully or at least temporarily) but she's constantly getting sucked into a vortex of timeline confusion. It actually seems like a nice way to live, revisiting cherished moments from the past—unless you're being stalked by the/a devil.
In part, this is the retelling of a love story between Ruth and Alan. It's also the end of that story (for Alan, anyway). Moments of sweetness (Alan returning to town for Ruth, Alan offering to take her and Henry away) are interspersed with moments of pure terror as Ruth tries to fight her way through the fog of time and fend off The Kid.
She's no match for him. He barely has to try. The Kid has time to make her some eggs, draw her a bath, and dance with her in the living room to a song the Reverend played at their wedding. All he really has to do is wait. Wait for Ruth to be so confused and so scared that she plays right into the hands of this devil.
With Matthew's gun and its bullets in her possession, Ruth escapes to the old shed where she waits, ready to put a bullet or two in The Kid should he walk through the door. But we know from last week's episode that The Kid comes out of this with only a minor stab wound. Before the door even opens, we know who will walk through it in search of Ruth.
Ruth's aim is good. She hits him in the chest once, twice, three times, and it's over. Alan is dead.

With a cool San Francisco rain threatening, what could be better than hot soup and a grilled cheese sandwich?
Broccoli-cheese soup cooked (mostly) according to the recipe in the most recent Cook's Illustrated. I substituted a mustard-ale cheddar for the sharp cheddar, on the idea that the mustard would complement the broccoli. I also added a cornstarch slurry at the end in an attempt to imitate the beautiful, silky texture of the (sadly rather bland) broccoli soup I had at Le Zinc a couple of weeks ago. This came close, but that was before I read the section on hydrocolloids in Aki Kamozawa and Alexander Talbot's Ideas in Food. Next time, I'll have science on my side, and it will be perfect. (I'll also transfer the small batch of soup to a smaller container, so that the immersion blender can break up all the bits. It didn't handle shallow so well.)
The sandwiches are quesadillas made with homemade tortillas, king trumpet mushrooms, scallions, and a habañero jack that went oddly but pleasantly sweet when melted. I tried a first batch of tortillas with this locally grown whole wheat flour that I bought at Mission Pie, but they were a disaster: tough and crumbly. I'll save the rest of the fancy flour for bread. The second batch of tortillas was, by contrast, a joy to work. Oh, there's the baby's-butt texture I'm looking for! So familiar, compared to the whole wheat dough, that I didn't even fret much that I was doing it wrong.
Meanwhile, J-P put together the cutest little salad of radishes, cherry bomb peppers, oranges, a little spinach left over from the soup, and more scallions.

People avoid going to the dentist because of bad memories, they often ignore a dental problem until the later, more serious, more costly stages. We're changing that with a package of good experiences in addition to excellent dental care that looks good,
Centralia, WA (PRWEB) June 11, 2011
Every year scores of people let old memories of bad care keep them out of the dentist's chair. To combat that anxiety, Fairway Dental Care http://www.fairwaydentalcare.com has added spa services to their already top-notch dental offerings.
"I decided to include spa services because excellent customer service is very important, and patient comfort is the first priority with our care," said Rohn Falter, DDS, owner of Fairway Dental Care. "People avoid going to the dentist because of bad memories, so they often ignore a dental problem until the later, more serious, more costly stages. We're changing that with a package of good experiences in addition to excellent dental care that looks good, feels good and lasts a long time."
Among the spa services offered are paraffin wax for hands, warm and cool eye therapy wraps and massage treatment chairs. Patients can also enjoy aromatic candles throughout the office, knee and neck pillows, warm blankets provided during care, big screen HD televisions in the treatment rooms and a beverage bar with hot drinks such as coffee, hot chocolate, hot apple cider and herbal teas.
Fairway Dental Care offers both general and cosmetic dental services, including dental crowns, dental bridges, oral cancer screening, tooth-colored fillings, free teeth whitening and a deal involving free teeth whitening for life with the purchase of necessary X-rays, exam and cleaning. The dental office now also offers free nitrous oxide sedation.
Dr. Falter established his practice in 2002, and when he relocated to Centralia, WA in 2007, he added the Fairway Dental Care name to the business. "Our goal is to create connections with people while providing outstanding, quality dental work," he said. "Our vision statement is 'Our passion to play will make your day, one smile at a time,' and we live up to that. We share a lot of laughter and fun in our office."
Although his practice is the only one he knows of offering spa-like services in the area, Dr. Falter feels what really sets him apart from competitors is his practice's individualized attention to each patient. "Our personal care approach means we will always go the extra mile for you," he stated.

My site has been migrated from a legacy Linux server to a Linux cPanel server. None of my Server Side Includes are working although they worked on the old system. I've tried renaming the included file to a .shtml, added a server-parsed handler for the .dat file I had originally, and moved files to the same directory. Nothing working and no errors generated. Phone support worked with me for a while and then said they could not help me. Any advice is very much appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
SSI is not enabled by default in cPanel, this should help you correct it.
transparent, thank you so much. I added the server-parsed handler for the file type which I was including but not for the .html file which called it. Once I did that, everything worked fine. Thanks very much again for your help.
Does this mean I don't have to change each of 800+ webpages to .shtml?
Thanks Linda

This amp has a nice DuraDome Neodymium speaker inside. The tone is nice and punchy and gets gnarly growl tone that is suitable for crunch tones in your music. It also has a balanced line out for going straight into a house pa system or mixer or even going direct when in a recording session.
The tone is a great bass tone. You have a saturation overdrive control knob that allows you to drive your tone even more than simple bass clean tone. The amp also has a great serial effects loop for allowing you to incorporate your favorite effects pedals or rack units into your sound. This is one fine bass amp and very versatile amp as well.
These amps have been discontinued for some time now. I have no idea what these are going for on the used market I have seen the 310 version for around $300 so I can only assume that this one would fetch a little more than that.
These amps vary between wattage and speaker size. This is the lowest priced version of this model. It s a great amp for those needing a good practice bass amp or a convenient combo to go direct with.

I knew a little of Tommy Robinson's plight at the hands of the establishment, and its oppression of the truth regarding 'Militant Islam' here in the UK, but never knew just how bad it was until I watched an interview of him recently: Infowars Interview.
Regardless what you think of Inforwars, it does not negate the fact that a militant Islam, whose political religious doctrine commands its adherents to bring the whole World into submission to its god, is on the rise all over the World today.
I thank God that the vast majority of Muslims here in the United Kingdom abhor the child marrying, head chopping and jihadist examples left them by their prophet, atrocities that his more militant brethren in Syria and Iraq now practice openly. But with US foreign policy pouring petrol on a fire that is already raging, for how long?
I guess many sitting in their ivory towers of finance, location or circumstance shall mock my concerns, preferring instead to trust in the left's philosophy of appeasement that shall certainly end in disaster if is allowed to continue unopposed. Better we listen to the testimony of one whom having suffered at the hands of a growing Islamic militancy in his own community, still refuses to be silenced by an establishment that fears rocking a boat, now seen tottering dangerously in the storms of their own complacency.
Luke 12:1
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
The leaven of a 'militant Islam' which is Islam in its purest form... is not only weaving itself into our once peaceful Muslim community but fuelled by a US foreign policy intent on forging a New World Order in its own image, has caused our ruling classes to fear their own citizenry unto the oppression of the good with the evil, this should never have been.
Mark my words, state laws will avail nothing on their own because they work from outside inwardly through oppression, and can by no means change the heart [Matt 6:23], what we need is a leaven that works from within the heart outwardly, unto good works.
Matthew 23:26
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
However the wisdom of this World [1 Cor 3:19] not only excuses the leaven of militant Islam, but routs-out, refuses and even mocks through a perverse media the only leaven of peace that is capable of defeating it where it really matters, and that is in the heart, even the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
You may mock, but again... laws imposed outside of the heart shall fail, because they rule through fear with vigour, despised of the soul. But the law of the Spirit of Christ that set me free, works from within and restrains all lawlessness through the conviction of evil by a conscience made alive through God's Word when empowered by His Spirit, and this unto the manifestation of good works borne of faith in Christ alone.
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
If you cherish our [original] Western values, built upon the Word of God [as defined in the Bible], then at least allow it to be preached openly, and do not do as does the Humanist Society today, and rout it out of every place where it maybe found, only to leave a void ready for Islam to exploit. Humanists who shall certainly receive the fruits of their labour in due season, even Islamic oppression upon their children if they refuse to relent.
Matthew 7:16-17
16 - You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?
17 - So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
Some Christians may oppose my words, whom believing me harsh think I should either bury my head in the sand, or else appease the creeping doctrines of Islam seen rising in the world today. Forgetting that I have never called for the overthrow of our government nor violence against those of the Islamic faith, whom in my opinion are often victims themselves. Rather I preach Christ and Him crucified, the only message that saves and has cast-out the leaven of Islam, from the hearts of those taken captive by it.
However I would ask this of my accusers:
Should Luther have refrained from opposing by word, that other Political Religious System that once held Europe in its iron grip, even a Catholicism of old that in its madness sought to do as did Mohamed, and conquer the entire World by force and oppression if it were at all possible, as do the true Mohammedans seen rising in the world today?
I was reminded recently by a wise friend, that we should pray for both the Muslim [especially those who have never heard the Gospel], as well as those who persecute us. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't expose by words alone, the evil behind militant Islam at home and abroad. [Eph 5:11]
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
A Sunni Muslim who decrying the use of 'racism' as a means to close-down debate, wants us all to have a grown-up conversation regarding what is clearly taking place in Islam today, on a global scale.
