My Final Hurrah!

My Final Hurrah!
Wednesday August 1st, 2012. I awoke to a feeling both foreign and all too familiar. This was the end of my BBYO career. This was to be the last full day I would ever spend in BBYO as a participant. The organization that had given me so much over the past few years was now being removed from my life the second I board my flight tomorrow. It was a scary, yet surprisingly comforting feeling knowing that this is my last day. Throughout the day, this feeling would only grow.
We began our day with a college/university information session followed by a tour - something that was not needed for me, seeing as I have already accepted at Brandeis. As my peers asked their questions about the process and selection, I sat their imagining myself in their shoes. What if I had another year to make an Impact? What if I was given a second opportunity to return to my home community and make my chapter have an impact? But alas, my imagination is not the reality I live in, so I sat quietly and listened.
After the tour, we had the presentations of what the groups had been doing over the past few weeks at our service sites. It was amazing to see so many members of BBYO truly get what it means to do service. I recall one part of a presentation, where a participant volunteering at the elderly home called his grandfather after one visit. It was so powerful to see that these teens, my peers knew that this wasn't something we were doing for community service hours or for a resume, but rather that this was something that is part of the 613 mitzvot of our Jewish faith – the only requirement to participate on this program.
Following these presentations, we had our final curriculum session. At this session, we talked about bringing our impact home and the connection between your mind, might, and heart as symbolized by the t'filin. We then wrote down our goals and what we dedicate ourselves to in letters that we will receive in 6 months. After that we had packing time until dinner. Packing up my stuff was different than every time previous for me. Normally, I just throw things in my suitcase and pack everything tightly together. But today, I made sure all of my clothes were folded neatly and that it fit nicely into my suitcase. I guess I just want to pack up my BBYO career the same way I packed my luggage today.
After a B-B-Q dinner, we hung out, sung songs and relaxed in the mini-quad. We then had our closing program – styled after the Olympics. There was jello jousting, capture the flag, Israeli paddleball and two others that escape my memory at the current time. I played capture the flag and worked up a good sweat.
As of 10:41 PM, on August 1, 2012, I, Jesse Freedman am at my computer, typing out what will be my last submission as a member of this great organization. Impact: Chicago will be over in less than 16 hours for me and with that first step onto my plane, my life is forever changed.
Gone are the opportunities to attend every summer program I have yet to experience. Behind me are the leadership opportunities in the Aleph Zadik Aleph. And with that first step, I begin my journey in the desert for another place to call home.
But not lost are the friends I have made across our Order and in BBG. Forever, I shall remember the moments of these summer programs that gave me a place of security during the 4 most volatile years of my life. Never fleeting will be the knowledge that wherever I go in life and whatever I do, I will have my fellow Alephs and sister BBGs to count on. I will always be certain that I can have somewhere to call home.
It's actually pretty ironic, as I'm typing this - the final blog for Impact: Chicago, the song Brothers in Arms comes on and I cannot help but to tear up knowing that at 1:00 PM tomorrow, as I step onto that flight, my life is forever changed. Impact: Chicago has been an amazing experience for me. If there is one recommendation I can make, it is that you should go on summer programs or send your teen on one. I know that they changed my life in so many ways – I can only hope that someone else can have the same experience I did in BBYO. Thank you to Ben for having an unbelievable 1st time ever Impact: Chicago and thank you to everyone who has helped me in any way during my time in BBYO. And for the last time ever,
I currently remain,
Aleph Jesse Michael Freedman
I Got a Golden Ticket

I Got a Golden Ticket
Today marked our last trip to our service sites at IMPACT: Chicago. As a coordinator, I have been fortunate enough to travel with all of the groups, and experience the different service sites first hand. I couldn't have asked for a better day to end my Impact experience than a wonderful trip with UCAN to the Albanese Candy Factory. We were able to socialize and mingle with the senior citizens (not high schoolers!) on the bus ride to the factory, and were ecstatic when we arrived.
We started off exploring the massive candy shop in awe of the hundreds of candy flavors, and infinite mixtures of chocolate they had to offer. Later we went on a short, but interesting tour of the factory where we saw the gummy bears being made and learned a little about the history and progression of the company. It was unbelievable how many hundreds of thousands of pounds of gummy bears, chocolate, peanuts, and candy they make every day.
After the tour we had a very important decision to make… what candies would make the trip home, and which ones would not make the cut. Luckily, to fuel our opinions, we were able to sample a lot of candy and even more chocolate. Among my favorite were the peanuts covered in peanut butter, then dipped in chocolate, the milk chocolate caramel with sea salt on top, the yogurt covered pretzels, and their infamous 12 flavors of gummy bears. But I think after sampling the many different chocolates and candies, my favorite had to have been the delicious chocolate covered gummy bears. It was very cool walking around the candy shop with the senior citizens, and even cooler seeing how happy they were to not only be buying candy, but being able to socialize, and have conversations with all of the participants. We were able to bond over something we both truly loved: candy. When the day was finally over we had to say our final goodbyes to all the people at UCAN, which was definitely emotional for the participants who had been working with them for five days. Fortunately, we were able to relieve our grief with a delicious lunch at Portillo's where we had delicious Chicago hotdogs, chili, and their famous Italian beef sandwich. Overall it was an incredible experience to have as my final day of service, and I couldn't have asked for a better group (or field trip) to share it with. It's crazy to think that tomorrow is our last day, and I know there will be even more incredible things planned for tomorrow.
Until next time, live long and prosper,
Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Today, I was fortunate in that not only was I able to spend another day helping out disadvantaged pre-school and kindergarten children, I was also able to hear from 3 inspirational businessmen/women and philanthropists and attend my very first baseball game. I really enjoy spending time helping out the children at onward neighbourhood house, during which I feel that I am truly making an impact in their lives whilst enhancing my own.
Later on in the day, we were treated to a panel of 3 inspirational people who have not only made their mark during their impressive careers, but have used their positions to help out others, giving both their time and money. This was impressive in itself, and it was great to hear how these people, including michael jordan's manager, have stayed in touch with their jewish identity, which is so important to all of them in their own individual way.
Coming from Manchester England, I have had a number of experiences during Impact:Chicago which have been somewhat different to that I experience in the uk. I have learnt about the american culture, and imparted my british culture to others, enjoying the differences in our culture and language, which has caused much amusement throughout the week! Everyone seems to like my british accent and will use the words which I have taught them (most of which are appropriate!) However, one such experience, and the highlight of my week so far, was attending my very first baseball game tonight! Coming from England, I have never played, seen or knew much about baseball. I am a football fan (I refuse to call the sport 'soccer' for fear of losing all my british identity!) and was very interested to see the differences in the two sports. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and tried to bring some english chants and screams to the game (without too much profanity which although is the norm in English football games is not welcomed in baseball) to a game in which americans support with amazing calmness and dignity. I enjoyed singing the American national anthem (with my fingers crossed!) and the song 'take me out to the ball game' and as so often has been the case during this trip, I could not believe the politeness of american fans. I loved learning about the game with a 20 minutes crash-course from Jason, which I now hope to support from England, with the Chicago Cubs becoming my team (we beat the pirates 14-4 tonight!). I saw 3 home-runs in a very exciting game, in which we beat the 'bloody' pirates (and no we do not all go to Hogwarts!) It was a nice change from the screaming lunatics in England. I guess I am not used to stopping halfway throughout the game to sing the YMCA and get a pretzel (which we don't have in the UK, much to my dismay!) I even managed to get a game ball which is a great souvenir of the game! It was great to be able to cheer with my new American friends from Impact:Chicago with whom I have become very close to and will stay in contact with from across the pond! Let's go Cubbies!!

Tish B'av
Posted on 07/29/2012 @ 11:47 PM
Tish B'av
Today marked Tish B'av, the saddest holiday in the Hebrew calendar. It commemorates the destruction of both the First and Second Temple in Jerusalem. While the day recalls general tragedies which have befallen the Jewish people over the ages, we decided to link his holiday to current events that are occurring in our own communities.
We started the holiday Saturday evening, right after Havdalah. Setting the mood we talked about some of the tragedies that occur in today's society, such as lack of education, economic devastation and hunger. We lit candles for each modern disaster, and began reflection on our journeys at our service sites throughout the Chicago area.
This afternoon we headed off to the Chicago Holocaust museum to pay respect for our ancestors. As we walked through each corridor we found ourselves not only mourning the death of millions, but also celebrating our life, and our future as Jewish leaders. Even though this is considered the saddest day, we ended with a message of hope singing Hatikvah, the national anthem of Israel.

text: In the fall of 2011, a short horror film festival introduced me to the work of Briony Kidd. Her 15 minute THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS was a haunting, poetic tale of a lonely student finding solace in the echoing energy of her new home's previous occupant. It was the standout of said fest, but aside from mutual admiration of PHENOMENA over Twitter, we haven't heard much from Kidd since. In honor of Women in Horror Month, Fango caught up with the filmmaker as she remains toiling away in all manner of genre activity down under, directing and programming The Stranger with my Face Horror Film Festival and waiting to go on two new features she's told FANGORIA about.

The United States on Tuesday supported European leaders' efforts to ease the debt crisis, including the formation of a "banking union" to safeguard their financial systems.
"If people have a sense of where they are going, that can provide confidence and break the fever," President Barack Obama said at the end of the two-day G-20 summit.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said European leaders, meeting again next week, want to design a long-term framework for stability and take swift steps to institute short-term reforms.
"What this means is a framework of reforms so they can stand behind their banks, provide capital to the banks that need it, make sure they're protecting the safety of their depositors," Geithner said.
Leaders will work to ensure Italy and Spain can borrow at sustainable interest rates, said Geithner, indicating the United States was "encouraged" by developments and the meeting's focus on economic growth.
The European Union earlier this month unveiled a plan to create a coordinated banking union rather than leaving troubled nations to deal with their own banking crisis.
The proposal would include a single deposit guarantee organization covering all banks in the union, something similar to the FDIC, which covers U.S. bank deposits.
The summit largely focused on boosting a sluggish global recovery threatened by a possible collapse of the euro currency union.
European leaders are moving with a "heightened sense of urgency" to address the continent's financial problems, according to Obama. "They understand the stakes and pledge to take the action needed to address this crisis."
The president acknowledged "slower growth in Europe means slower growth in American jobs" and the potential effects on the upcoming election.

Gentry gets no respect in Coach of the Year voting
Originally published: May 1, 2012 - 12:47 pm
Unfortunately for Alvin Gentry, Scott Brooks didn't have a vote.
And unfortunately for Alvin Gentry, the 119 sportswriters and broadcasters that do apparently didn't pay too much attention to what the Suns were able to do with a roster featuring two aging stars and a big group of role players.
San Antonio's Gregg Popovich won the award, garnering 77 first place votes to beat out Chicago's Tom Thibodeau and Indiana's Frank Vogel.
But if you keep moving down the Coach of the Year balloting results, and I mean all the way down, you'll find Gentry, who received just one third-place vote.
Should Gentry have won the award? No. But keeping a Suns team in postseason contention until the second-to-last game of the season is an accomplishment that deserves recognition.
Two of the recurring plot lines with the 2011-12 Suns were the lack of talent on the roster and the absence of a proven go-to scorer.
In fact, all season long, the Suns had only two players who eclipsed the 30-point barrier in a single game -- Steve Nash and Shannon Brown. To put that in perspective, the league's leading scorer, Kevin Durant, hit that mark 25 times.
The Suns got off to a less-than-stellar 14-20 start, but went 19-13 after the All-Star break, fighting their way back into postseason contention in the process.
A lot of credit goes to the players, but more goes to the coaching staff for keeping this challenged roster invested enough to play hard through the entirety of the schedule. That's not a common occurrence in today's NBA. Don't believe me? Look at Portland, Charlotte and Golden State, who all pulled off epic tank jobs down the stretch (or in Charlotte's case, all season).
Gentry kept his players engaged and competitive throughout a second-straight fruitless season. And yet, it went virtually unnoticed by everyone - except for Scott Brooks and one lone Coach of the Year voter.
And that is a shame.

Yeah, it was, if I remember correctly. RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Just to be clear here: Our actual nominations for The 29th Annual RAZZIES® will not be formally announced until January 21. Right now, our Nominating Ballots are still out, and I assume Michaels is referring above to the fact that THE HAPPENING is lisited as a potential contender in 7 categories on that ballot. Voting Members have until January 10 to submit their choices... [QUOTE=moviewizguy]So...what were the nominations? I would like to see them. I just hope they don't include The Happening -- although it seems pretty impossible not for it to be up for several, since 95% of the world seems to downright hate it. The scary thing is that the movie reveals the dark sides of people. Something about killing M. Night or something...whatever. I just have to come out and say it's one of the most misunderstood movies ever created. Note: EVER! It's very unfair... QUOTE] |

The state is considering lowering the minimum size for an angler to keep a chinook salmon caught in Puget Sound from 22 inches to 20 inches.
The discussion is part of the North of Falcon process that will conclude in early April with the setting of salmon fishing seasons for the ocean, Puget Sound and Columbia River.
Anglers have been contacting the state Department of Fish and Wildlife requesting the change, said Pat Pattillo, the department's salmon policy lead.
Proponents of the change say public dollars are spent to raise the hatchery fish so why not give anglers a greater opportunity to catch them. Also, catching more hatchery salmon would reduce the amount of competition wild salmon face on spawning grounds.
There have been varying minimum lengths, as well as no minimum size, over the years, said Steve Thiesfeld, Puget Sound salmon manager.
"We arrived at the 20 inches for a few reasons. It was the minimum size we changed from when we went with 22 inches," Thiesfeld said.
Also, keeping the change fairly small avoids have to include far more catchable fish in models that determine chinook mortality rates. The state is restricted on how many listed wild chinook can be caught during fisheries for hatchery salmon.
"Finally, it made sense that a small change would be more comfortable for folks to support than a large change," he added.
Before the agency brings the matter up during negotiations with the Puget Sound treaty tribes, Thiesfeld said the department wants to hear from anglers. People should send their comments to Ryan Lothrop, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager, at email@example.com.
The department also is trying to develop solutions to deal with angler issues on the Skokomish and Samish rivers. The trouble includes anglers failing to abide by the rules and leaving behind garbage and human waste. Failure to resolve the issues could result in the department taking some drastic measures.
"It's getting to the point where our law enforcement guys, especially on the Samish, that they're ready to just close the river," Thiesfeld said. "The ultimate solution is policing the situation among anglers themselves."
Larry Phillips, district fish biologist for the South Sound, said he noticed last year an increase in the number of fish caught illegally on the Nisqually River.
For every fish caught legally, another was illegally hooked or snagged. Those fish had to be released, with a reduced chance of survival. The department has to account for those mortalities, he said, to make sure to remains in compliance with mandates related to salmon stocks listed on the federal endangered species list.
To avoid conflicts between recreational anglers and tribal fishermen, Pattillo said there will likely be several recreational fishing closures later this summer on the Puyallup River. Similar closures have been in place the last two seasons.

- Covered Covered is a family of curious looking objects made in food-friendly glass and cork. This set of objects show the correlation between negative space and functionality. By adding cuts, holes, slits and indents on simple shapes the designer creates new negative spaces. In turn the shapes become functional artifacts that perform various tasks for the kitchen and dining area. A tea pot, salt and pepper shaker, milk pitcher and salad dressing mixer are among Covered's many abilities. 2013 Industrial Design, Product Design
Fracture Ice Bag
I strive to make life more pleasurable through design, so I keep a running list of various repetitive, mundane or unenjoyable tasks we all have to do. Preparing and extracting ice from ice trays was always a messy and tedious chore and so I made it my mission to make this task fun!
It's easy! Fill the bag with water then freeze it. Once frozen, hit the bag (or twist if you wish) and pour perfect ice cubes! 2013 Industrial Design -
Grasp Shelf
Another annoyance of modern life is the accumulation of clutter. But clutter is made up of things we use all the time, so a closed drawer or closet is too much of a hassle. My goal was to find a way to store clutter in a way that was both beautiful and easy.
Standing on its own, the Grasp shelf was designed to look like a piece of sculpture. When objects are placed in it, the layers of foam stretches to accommodate most objects from keys to coats.
2013 Industrial Design - Cucina Collection At Pottery Barn I worked on a team of three to create a brand new kitchen collection. Inspired by the Italy's Tuscan style, we drew from old-world manufacturing processes and added an innovative twist to create a rustic kitchen for modern-day users. 2013 Industrial Design
- Miles Collection A luggage collection I designed and collaborated with while working at Pottery Barn. We fell in love with a beautiful piece of black leather and decided to create a luggage collection that was launched for the holidays in 2012. 2013 Fashion, Industrial Design
- Pottery Barn Halloween String Lights String lights I worked in collaboration with my design manager at Pottery Barn for Halloween. I worked with this project from sketch to shelf. All three light have been big sellers for Pottery Barn. 2013 Industrial Design, Interior Design, Product Design
Sanholm Collection
Instead of starting from paper, I started with the fabrics. Going around different fabric stores in Stockholm I found sturdy yet soft canvases and durable leather. With very little sketching I started to sew pieces together.
I wanted the bags to feel easy and relaxed so I worked the same way. I kept the process simple and uncomplicated. 2013 Fashion, Industrial Design -
Super Suits
I designed Super Suits encourage self awareness, expression and empowerment in children of all ages. With button holes on the entire suit and an endless variety of attachments, children are able to portray themselves and each other however they please.
Younger children may need grown-up fingers to piece the suit together. This turns into a wonderful time for adults to interact with children– to ask them questions about what they like and don't like, what's important to them and how they see themselves.
For older, more independent children Super Suits encourages decision-making and peer interaction. 2013 Industrial Design - Closet Collection The closet space was a new initiative I brought on in 2012. I focused on creating core pieces that were extremely useful, durable and beautiful. The initiative has been successful thus far and many of the pieces are being carried on for future seasons in Pottery Barn. 2013 Industrial Design, Interior Design, Product Design
Waxed Canvas Weekender and Tote
Waxed canvas with leather is a big seller for Pottery Barn and it has been for many years. However, this year the their waxed canvas and leather bag collection needed an update. I was given the task to add two new pieces to refresh the look of the collection.
2013 Fashion, Industrial Design - Pottery Barn Holiday String Lights A set of string lights I designed for Pottery Barn's holiday decoration assortment. Balancing and cost, my team and I were able to execute these original and unique lighting pieces. 2013 Industrial Design, Interior Design, Product Design
- Greeting Cards A set of greeting card illustrations I sold online during the holiday season. Inspired by traditional Filipino Christmas festivities. All cards were done by hand and colored/stylize using Adobe CS. 2013 Graphic Design, Illustration, Painting
- Adobe Digital Kids An illustration for Adobe's Digital Kids Program that was turned into a variety of collateral materials and as the core graphic for Adobe's booth in the NECC Conference. 2013 Exhibition Design, Graphic Design, Illustration
- Life Cycle Analysis In a team of 5, we decided to investigate the life cycle of Bounty Paper Towels. We called Bounty's manufacturers and suppliers and collected information of how Bounty's paper towels are made. Then, we illustrated the LCA and using icons we told the story of the pros and cons of making a Bounty Paper Towel. 2013 Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interaction Design

Q & A with Ronny Cedeno
Ronny Cedeno in in his first full season with the Pittsburgh Pirates and looks to be the everyday shortstop for 2011. The 27-year-old Venezuelan native talked about his 2010 season.
How would you evaluate your 2010 season offensively and defensively?
"I think defensively I've been doing okay, but I would like to get better," Cedeno said. "Defensively I feel good. I've been able to concentrate every ground ball, take care of it and make the play. Don't try to do too much. Just go out there, have fun and do the best you can.
Since Cedeno has been the starting shortstop this season, there has been three starting second baseman –Delwyn Young, Aki Iwamura and Neil Walker. Has it been difficult for Ronny to adjust?
"No. I think it is fun to play different second baseman. The most important thing is to communicate with each other. Every one of them is little bit different so you nee to communicate to do your job."
Cedeno plays next to a few members of the Pirates "young core" –Pedro Alvarez ad Neil Walker. What are his thoughts on the second and third basemen?
"Those two guys have a lot of talent. They can both be really good players. Neil has had a chance to play a lot of second base this year and he's becoming consistent over there. And Pedro, he has unbelievable pop. He has to learn a little it more because he's so young, but when he gets more experience I think he's going to be a great third baseman for the Pirates."
When Cedeno was traded from Seattle last season, he said he was happy to be back in the National League.
"Yeah. I still feel that way. The American League is very tough. They don't throw you as many pitches close to the plate, It's a lot of off-speed stuff. In the National League, they throw you more fastballs. You just have to make them throw it in the strike one. If you do that you're going to get fastballs to hit."

Botkier Handbags
Downtown NYC edge defines Monica Botkier's luxurious collection of designer handbags and rebel-chic women's footwear. A native New Yorker and photographer by trade, Botkier derives inspiration for her leather totes, hobo bags, satchels, and seductive boots and shoes from the sights and sounds of Manhattan. Styles like the Trigger — a metallic Italian cowhide crossbody bag — and the Valentina, available as either a shoulder bag or a satchel, feature roomy interior pockets and just the right amount of decorative metal hardware. Botkier's celebrity fans include Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie: two women who bring out the bad-girl wannabe in more than a few of us. But Botkier's more about doing good than being bad, designing pieces to benefit arts and children's charities. Though she shifted her career focus in 2003 from photography to fashion and accessories design, Botkier still shoots all her ad campaigns herself.

Ok, so I have these two Christian friends who keep bringing up that Rowling has stated her whole intent was to depict Harry as the Christ figure. As a Christian, I have seen that symbolism in the series, and of course most clearly in the final book. Fine. My problem is they are now re-reading them and pointing out all kinds of minor things which they say she put in there on purpose under the same motif.
I want some sort of critical/analytical perspective on this. Are they just seeing what they want to see (as I believe they are), or is it more likely that Rowling really did infuse the series with that many allusions to the Christian narrative? I'll share more of what I think after some input.

I've read quite a few pseudo-academic articles that purport to show that Rowling incorporated any number of philosophical traditions/world views - curiously, all of them that seem to correspond to the tradition/world view of the particular writer in question...
Any half-decent structured work of narrative (as opposed to character) fiction will tend to find itself open to this, simply because there are only those dozen or so basic story types on which to build. I mean people like
and even
have explored this quite thoroughly
For myself, I don't think Rowling intended much specific religious allegory at all in the Potter story, beyond the standard Hero's Journey symbology which is hard to avoid but which will make the story look a lot more potent than it really is. Personally, I'd say there was less religious imagery in there than there is in, say, Tolkien - or Lucas. It's certainly not CS Lewis.
To her credit, Rowling has filled the "Potterverse" with a rich tapestry of (albeit frequently contradictory) detail - but that also means that you can find evidence for almost any theory you wish to propose. It's a bit like the Bible in that respect... (I will concede that I haven't been able to find supporting evidence for the "Riddle is Harry's father" theory, but that's about the only mythic standard that doesn't seem to be in there!)

As has been said about
The Lord of the Rings
, if it is allegory, then it is so obscure that people can't agree on it. If you agree that it is well-written, you have to concede that it is not allegory. After all, any well-written allegory is understandable as such.
Send them to read
The Chronicles of Narnia
, which were actually intended as allegory of the Judeo-Christian god, or C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, which is also intended as such.

There are many studies reporting similarities between Jesus and other Saviour/Hero type figures that pre-date Jesus.
(one of many)
(a Christian response)
Miraculous Births:
Some would argue that the Jesus "story" was told in a familiar narrative with his life-story peppered with classical hero incidents. But I think most successful stories, whether that's Harry Potter or some non-fiction success, will share many traits that tug at the heart strings and inspire.

Including me. But only up to a certain point. Anything pre-Jordan Baptism clearly falls into that category. A certain amount of the "big finale" does as well (anything from the start of what is called Holy Week onwards.)
What interests me is the unusual status of the Gospels as compared to most "literature" in providing four alternative accounts, drawing on shared and unique material in each case. The writers were writing for different audiences and so shape their narrative to suit that audience. That's perhaps why these four found more favour than many of the other rival accounts which lack their quality.
Going back to the original subject for a moment, this interests me about Rowling as well - she deliberately chose not to clamp down on the fan-fiction; as a result there are some terrific pieces to be found (e.g. a version told entirely from Hermione's point of view, or, even more weirdly, a meta-narrative in which the characters provide a sort of "director's commentary" on the original text, pulling it apart in amusing ways.) The result is a much richer tapestry than perhaps the "Potterverse" deserves. In a way, it's what Tolkien hoped would happen with Middle Earth, but he was - as ever - fifty years ahead of his time.

I agree that a lot of what is in the HP books is generally accepted symbols for heroes and such. That was part of my argument with my friends. For instance, they tried to argue that Harry spent most of his time with those on the outskirts of society (Neville, Luna, Dobby, Hagrid, etc.) and is therefore similar to Jesus in this respect. This is one place where I found their argument to be more of a stretch. Suppose they knew nothing of the Christ story, don't you just naturally expect the hero of the story to associate with those whom the main culture ostracizes? That's just natural goodness in my opinion.
The other thing which really made me wary of their argument is my friend said he's looking forward to re-reading the Horcrux scene at the end of book 6 to see how much it reads like a baptism (since Dumbledore=John the Baptist and Harry=Jesus). This just screams to me they will see what they want to see.
I guess what I wonder most about this is why it matters so much. Does the Christian faith somehow need validation from this piece of fiction? I sincerely hope not. Maybe it's just an example of carrying a metaphor too far. *sigh* This is the reason I think it would have been better if Rowling had just left the parallelism unconfirmed.

Before the release of the final book, which depicts Harry's Christ-like death, the main reaction from the Christian audience was accusations that JK Rowling was trying to draw children away from Christianity by planting ideas of witchcraft into their minds. Other than Harry's death, I don't think there are any parallels between the stories of those two men that are so clear as to be intentional.
What parallels there are likely represent JK Rowling's upbringing in a Western culture that features the archetype. Against the strong, what can the noble young hero do except, ultimately, sacrifice himself? By contrast, in
Life-story of the Moon Cuckoo
a brilliant traditional Buddhist play I translated and cut a couple years ago, the hero finds peace, but not by confronting his enemy, who is vanquished by his own machinations. So Harry Potter is an allegory only insofar as Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, Ted Mosby, and all other Western heroes are likewise.

The Obama Administration is blocking a comprehensive environmental study on the impact of exporting massive quantities of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, on the grounds that new gas drilling induced by the exports is not "reasonably foreseeable."
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy is resisting calls by Dow Chemical and other manufacturers for a more clearly defined and transparent DOE process for determining whether proposed LNG export projects serve the "public interest."
Both the DOE and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission face mounting pressure to evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of licensing LNG export facilities. Since the agencies licensed an LNG export terminal in Sabine Pass, La., in 2011, 19 other applicants have lined up with licensing requests.

When I was doing this I lived in Seattle and worked in a hanger on Boeing Field AKA the King County Airport. I worked there as an aircraft electrician which was my title. The company was called Air Repair and they mainly worked on the first versions of the Boeing 737-100. There was a little work on Fairchild prop jets and the occasional Boeing 727 or 707 but most of it was 737 work. Most of my work was on the bench with the so-called black boxes and some of it was inside the planes on wiring. We did not use the duct tape on those that was on small planes only especially fabric ones. It was quite the education which I am sure working on the embraer planes is too. By the way the picture of the battery bay on the 787 was shocking to me as it looks like the wiring is not sufficiently tied down like it would have been on older Boeing planes.
When I worked in aircraft repair that was what they used to use to patch up small holes for temporary fixes. Plain old duct tape. Of course it would not last too long but for a quick fix and not too dirty that was just the thing. The guys I worked with said it was good for 200mph for a couple of weeks. That was why we called it that. Of course that was about 35 years ago. I had not seen the metal tape until about 15 years ago long after my aircraft repair days.
Thanks playtimeCLE!
Military still a good career. My youngest son is Army NG. After first tour in Iraq He decided to make it a career. He has 17 in but has 11 to go.
Playtime I believe we all feel the same that much was gained during our time of service. It definitely taught me to appreciate what I have even though its not much. I would appreciate if you would accept me as a GB.
I feel as thought I am the one who should be thankful for what I was taught during my time in the service. I gained so much for the experience.
Thank you for your service and enjoy this Memorial Day weekend.
Your family is growing in leaps and bounds. Help in the garden: soon as weather cooperates.

This snapshot posted yesterday evening by the hairstylist Snowdon Hill has a rather 60s feel about it don't you think? It's reminiscent a Richard Burton and Liz Taylor pap shot taken at some premiere or other. It is uber couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel of course, just before (or after) Tom Ford's first catwalk show, which he held at Lancaster House last night. The first story I'm going to tell you is about her hair. A classic, 60s bouffant (in keeping with the shot), which is seeing a bit of a revival right now. Hill (no relation) achieved the look with a blow dry, using a new-wave styling mousse from the hair brand, Fudge. It's called Hot Hed Style Whip. Here's what he did next: 'Once smooth, I back combed the hair at the crown and wrapped it into a high French roll,' he says. He set her style with lacquer (Fudge Skyscraper if you were wondering).
But here's the thing. This very morning, I happened to be using one of Fudge's new styling products to de-limp my beautiful new Karlie Kloss bob. And because it has transformed my life, planned to blog about it right away. And as if by magic, Biel and Timberlake add a hint of glamour to my story, so thank you for that.
So, the product?
It's called Matte Mineral Aerosol Rock Spray.
For the limp and fine locked amongst us, this is a game changer. It's backcombing in a can, and gives limp hair a lift wherever you choose to spritz. That it's applied with an aerosol spray means you get a lighter application, and you can also choose where you apply it. I simply apply it randomly through my hair, lifting up sections and spritzing kind of around the root. You can use it to boost root lift and to give your hair a slight dischevelled, mussed up finish. It's better than hair spray because it gives texture as well as hold – and the beauty of it is that you can apply strategically, so your hair never looks solid. The new volumising hair powders come a close second in terms of breakthrough styling product for the limp locked, but this folks, is it.

Tina McKeon has left the intellectual property boutique she helped found for Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton. As a result, McKeon Meunier Carlin & Curfman, which McKeon launched in spring 2010, is now Meunier Carlin & Curfman.
"It's difficult to leave something that you started and put your heart and soul into, but I found that the practice I have would benefit from the depth and infrastructure a large firm can offer," said McKeon, who joined Kilpatrick as a partner last week.
McKeon focuses her patent prosecution and counseling work on life sciences and brings a team of five with her. Three patent agents, Kimberlynn Davis, Lizette Fernandez and Tiffany Thomas, who like McKeon have Ph.D. degrees, will join on Monday, along with a paralegal, Joey Ward, and an assistant, Christy Rutherford.
McKeon declined to name clients, saying they are still in transition. She said she works with a mix of large companies, startups, universities and research institutions.
Although McKeon has practiced patent law since 1996, she said she's never worked in a general practice firm until now. She was a partner at Fish & Richardson, a national IP boutique, before starting McKeon Meunier Carlin & Curfman 2 1/2 years ago with another Fish & Richardson partner, Andrew Meunier.
Christopher Curfman from Ballard Spahr and Gregory Carlin, who had been IP counsel at Edwards Lifesciences in Irvine, Calif., are the other two principals.
McKeon joined Fish & Richardson in 2006 from a local IP boutique, Needle & Rosenberg, which became part of Philadelphia-based general practice firm Ballard Spahr in 2008.
She cited Kilpatrick's "strong IP group and strong reputation both nationally and internationally" and said she was friends with a number of Kilpatrick lawyers, including Jamie Graham, who is the co-leader of Kilpatrick's health and life sciences team, John McDonald and Virginia Taylor, along with John Pratt, who chairs the firm's IP practice, and James Ewing IV.
"It was not a hard choice," said McKeon.
Graham said in a statement that McKeon's "well-established reputation within the biotechnology community and her extensive background in highly complex research and litigation" will add to Kilpatrick's "deep bench of biotechnology expertise in Atlanta and across the firm."

Spring had hardly begun when we were hit with a couple days of unseasonably warm weather. Mind you, I am not complaining. The temperature brought out a side of the wardrobe that was stored away for the darker months and that is always a good thing.
In the photo, a bespoke fresco jacket and trousers are worn with a blue on white graph check shirt, tan Edward Green oxfords, a Sam Hober Irish poplin necktie, and a Ralph Lauren Purple Label pocket square. Hidden under it all are a pair of cream cotton socks.

Nice look Will, although the blazer buttons wrinkled a nostril, I will admit.
I am especially impressed by your excellent choice in neckwear. That Atkinson stripe is marvelous both for color and texture in this context.
Cotton hosiery presents a certain kind of uncomfortable annoyance to me that one may avoid if sensitive, but the choice of cream I think is quite debonaire.
