Progress on works currently being carried out in Larne town centre has been welcomed by a local councillor.
In a statement, Ulster Unionist councillor Mark McKinty said: "The Larne Public Realm scheme finished a number of months ago, but the weak link in the chain was the poor condition of the roads, particularly Main Street and those connecting to it.
"Even before the end of the investment programme, I was in touch with TransportNI about the importance of bringing the road surfaces to the same standard as the other completed works, and I thank them and council officers for pursuing the matter.
"Our town centres are not only vital parts of our economy, but also provide important socio-cultural and civic spaces for both residents and visitors.
"It is important that they are attractive places to visit, and this resurfacing will help contribute to that. I appreciate the support of businesses in these areas being briefly inconvenienced.
"In recent months, I've enthusiastically supported schemes making small improvements to local walkways which provide access to the Main Street from parking and other retail areas.
"Access to the Main Street must be facilitated at all times.
"I am committed to further improve the town centre, particularly mindful of local businesses. I also wish to reaffirm my desire to explore opportunities - including financial - to support those streets like Dunluce Street and Point Street which are important parts of our town centre but which have been excluded from previous regeneration schemes.
"Their success will be to the benefit of the entire town."

7th Lord Rodney
Lord Rodney was born on 28th February 1857 to Robert Dennett Rodney and Sarah Rodney. He lived at Berrington with his family until his father died in 1864. At the tender age of 7 he inherited the estate.
After leaving Eton, George joined the army. Initially he was in the 7th Dragoon Guards but he later transferred to the 1st Life Guards. In April 1882 he volunteered for service in Egypt where Britain's purchase of Suez Canal shares led to a heightened interest and ultimately intervention, in the country's affairs. He was no doubt involved in the various battles and skirmishes in which the Household Cavalry took part and almost certainly in one major engagement, the Battle of Tel el Kebir that took place in September 1882.
His mother died on October 1st of the same year and so Lieutenant Lord Rodney returned to England. He was 25 years old. Before the end of 1884 however, he was back in Egypt where he fought for just a few more months, the operation coming to a close on 26th January 1885. Lord Rodney was promoted to Captain in 1886 and resigned from the regiment two years later.
On his second return to England he, his brother Robert and sister Patience, commissioned a stained glass window to be placed in Eye Church in memory of their mother. The inscription reads: "To the glory of God and in memory of Sarah Lady Rodney this window was erected by her children in A.D. 1884."
Although Lord Rodney spent little time at Berrington, he was well regarded by those who were employed by him and those he associated with. In 1888 he features in Vanity Fair with a caricature of him stating ''He is a very popular young man."
We do not know when he met Corisande Guest or how long they had known each other before they were married. They moved in similar social circles, and Corisande's father may have thought he was an ideal match for his daughter, being the eldest son of a noble family with an estate.
When George was born, England was going through an agricultural boom, and consequently the Berrington estate was thriving. However, towards the time of his marriage to Corisande, this boom was lapsing into a depression and this affected the estate and George's wealth.
On Saturday 24th January 1891, Lord Rodney married Hon. Corisande Evelyn Vere Guest at St. James's Church, Piccadilly.
The homecoming of Lord and Lady Rodney was greatly celebrated by the local area of Leominster. There is a reproduction of the article published in the Leominster News on the day in the Business Room and the old photograph above shows moment of their return.
Now in a financially difficult situation he may have thought his troubles were over when he married Corisande. However, she would not move to Berrington until a bathroom tower had been built, having been used to plumbed in baths where she lived previously. There were also a couple of fires at Berrington during the time the couple lived there, one costing around £700 in repairs (around £50,000 today).
By 1901, Lord and Lady Rodney had four sons, George (1891), James (1895), Charles (1895) and William (1896). The eldest son would fight in both World Wars and eventually move with his wife, Lady Marjorie, to Canada leading the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movement in Alberta.
In 1901, Corisande filed for divorce from Lord Rodney citing cruelty and adultery as her reasons for petition. It is unclear whether or not these events actually happened or if they were fabricated to achieve a quick divorce. The latter may have been the case with Lord and Lady Rodney particularly as he remarried so soon after his divorce was made absolute.
However, the accusations made against Lord Rodney include striking her 6 days before the birth of their first child, burning her lip with a cigarette and swearing at her in front of third parties. He was also accused of having affairs with women at Berrington and in London.
Corisande then sought alimony. The children were granted the clear annual sum of £150 each until they reached 21 years of age. Decree absolute was given on 12th January 1903, almost 12 years after they were married.
Due to Lord Rodney's declining wealth, Berrington was sold in 1901 to Frederick Cawley.
Lord Rodney married Charlotte Eugenia Probyn on 28th January 1903, just two weeks after his divorce from Corisande had been made absolute. He was 45, Charlotte was 32.
Charlotte was born in 1871, the youngest of six children to Edmund Probyn and Charlotte Seymour of Huntley Manor and Longhope, Gloucestershire. She grew up in the household of a member of the country gentry and in 1881, aged 9, she lived in a substantial house with a German Governess and 6 live-in servants.
Her father died in 1890, leaving little money to his family. The agricultural depression had affected much of his estate, and they had to sell some of their property. Charlotte and her family were living at Callingwood Hall, Staffordshire with a gardener and 2 live-in maids. There is no indication at that time that Charlotte needed to earn her own living as a governess to the Rodney children.
They eventually made their home in south London. It was here that Lord Rodney began his work with the young boys of that area, forming a group that became known as "Lord Rodney's Boys". This was almost certainly encouraged by his new wife.
Unfortunately, this second marriage did not last long. On 28th December 1909, Lord Rodney died at their house on Denmark Hill. He was just 52 years old and Charlotte was 38. Charlotte died in London on 5th November 1939 at the age of 68.

It is recommended that we eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day – but are you really getting this in your diet? Buy a juicer, by selecting one of the many juicers below, and we promise you'll increase your fruit and veggie intake in no time at all.
Most of us only eat three portions of fruit and veg a day – and that's those of us who are healthy. But by consuming fruit and veg we can reap in huge health benefits by reducing heart disease and cancer risks dramatically. Vegetables and fruit are full of everything that's good for us, including fibre, vitamins and minerals. This goodness is what prevents us from falling sick, as it boosts our immune system.
By using blenders to make a juice in the morning, we are giving our bodies an antioxidant boost that will help our metabolic rate and hormones – all the while giving us great health benefits.
These antioxidant boosters help to protect our healthy cells while attacking the bad cells in our bodies. Fruit and vegetables stop us from feeling unbalanced and out of whack, boosting our iron and calcium levels.
Juicing is one of the best ways to get your vitamins for the day. Drinking the fibre mix also hydrates you – which is perfect for the mornings when you wake up needing to replenish your body. Popping a vitamin pill isn't the same as having the real thing and adding a juicer to the heart of your kitchen will see you get a complete supplement mix everyday – something substitutes like supplements and pills just can't provide.
So browse through our blenders and see which one will look best in your kitchen!

About a month ago, I was having a conversation with my mother while eating lunch. The subject somehow found its way to art, and my mother was telling me how gifted she thought I was and how great she thought my artwork is. I then told her, that I wanted to pursue something creative as a career.
I have been thinking about going back to school and getting a second degree in graphic design. I currently have a bachelor's degree in computer science, but I haven't been able to land a job in that field. I have a pretty good job right now, doing technical support on the phones for one of the leading electronic companies. What is a good job, it's not something that I feel is a career and I am nearing plateau as far as advancement. I feel like it's a time for change. I want something I can call a career, not just a job. Not only that, I want a career I can be passionate about.
Well okay, let me get back to that conversation I was having with my mother. I had just told her, more or less, that I want to pursue my dreams.that I want to pursue my dreams. After hearing the compliments she had for me, I was expecting her to be supportive… Or at least, be open to the idea of me doing more creatively. What she said next has been bugging me ever since. Instead of saying anything remotely positive, she jumped right into saying that I needed to be "practical". Then comma she went on to say that I could do it on the side, but I needed to keep working a "real job".
This pretty much ended the conversation. I've always wanted to do things that would allow me to be creative, and this is always been her response. I guess I was foolish to expect anything else. When I was younger, I love this train of thought determine what I did. After High School I just started working. After a while, my parents offered to send me to school in the Philippines where I, eventually, got my degree in computer science – something that seemed "practical". Since coming back to the United States after college, I feel like I've done everything but work in the field that I studied.
I do appreciate the job I have today, but I know that this is not the end of the road for me. I don't plan to quit this job and become a starving artist, but I do realize that I need to start pursuing my dreams.I believe that the talent I have been given and the passion that is deep inside my heart were given to me by God. If I pursue what's in my heart, I believe I will be successful. I know getting there will not be easy. I don't have any attention to not be "practical" in the pursuit of my passions, but I'm no longer going to let being "practical" get in the way of pursuing the things I'm passionate about.

Yeee! What a wonderful year it was. This yearly recap is always so fun to create - I love looking back and feeling so much gratitude for the year behind me. It's funny how my greed for travel and adventure sometimes has me believing that I don't go to enough places, or that I'm in some sort of rut (this happens a lot!). But all I have to do is take a peek back in time to see how golden life truly is.
This year Jimmy and I both turned 30, an age I'm loving and embracing in every way. I made some big strides at work and have met my goals of growing in my professional confidence and authentic leadership. We bought our first HOUSE! Tiny, yes, but a home just the same. With that change, we moved to a gorgeous new location, with a community that supports us in every way. It was our third full year in California, and we sunk into it in a whole new way this year,
It was hard to narrow our experiences down into groups of five but I gave it a go; here are my "top five" pics from 2015.

Bacterial infections
Harrison's Internal Medicine Chapter 127. Treatment and Prophylaxis of Bacterial Infections Treatment and Prophylaxis of Bacterial Infections: Introduction The development of vaccines and drugs that prevent and cure bacterial infections was one of the twentieth century's major contributions to human longevity and quality of life. Antibacterial agents are among the most commonly prescribed drugs of any kind worldwide. Used appropriately, these drugs are lifesaving.

Duration of Therapy and Treatment Failure Until recently, there was little incentive to establish the most appropriate duration of treatment; patients were instructed to take a 7- or 10-day course of treatment for most common infections. A number of recent investigations have evaluated shorter durations of therapy, especially in patients with communityacquired pneumonia. Table 127-10 lists common bacterial infections for which treatment duration guidelines have been established or for which there is sufficient clinical experience to establish treatment durations.

Status of the Host Various host factors must be considered in the devising of antibacterial chemotherapy. The host's antibacterial immune function is of importance, particularly as it relates to opsonophagocytic function. Since the major host defense against acute, overwhelming bacterial infection is the polymorphonuclear leukocyte, patients with neutropenia must be treated aggressively and empirically with bactericidal drugs for suspected infection (Chap. 82). Likewise, patients who have deficient humoral immunity (e.g.

Site of Infection The location of the infected site may play a major role in the choice and dose of antimicrobial drug. Patients with suspected meningitis should receive drugs that can cross the blood-CSF barrier; in addition, because of the relative paucity of phagocytes and opsonins at the site of infection, the agents should be bactericidal. Chloramphenicol, an older drug but occasionally useful in the treatment of meningitis, is bactericidal for common organisms causing meningitis (i.e.

Principles of Antibacterial Chemotherapy The choice of an antibacterial compound for a particular patient and a specific infection involves more than just a knowledge of the agent's pharmacokinetic profile and in vitro activity.

Adverse Reactions Adverse drug reactions are frequently classified by mechanism as either dose-related ("toxic") or unpredictable. Unpredictable reactions are either idiosyncratic or allergic. Dose-related reactions include aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity, linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia, penicillin-induced seizures, and vancomycin-induced anaphylactoid reactions. Many of these reactions can be avoided by reducing dosage in patients with impaired renal function, limiting the duration of therapy, or reducing the rate of administration.

Inhibition of Cell-Wall Synthesis One major difference between bacterial and mammalian cells is the presence in bacteria of a rigid wall external to the cell membrane. The wall protects bacterial cells from osmotic rupture, which would result from the cell's usual marked hyperosmolarity (by up to 20 atm) relative to the host environment. The structure conferring cell-wall rigidity and resistance to osmotic lysis in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is peptidoglycan, a large, covalently linked sacculus that surrounds the bacterium.

Inhibition of Protein Synthesis Most of the antibacterial agents that inhibit protein synthesis interact with the bacterial ribosome. The difference between the composition of bacterial and mammalian ribosomes gives these compounds their selectivity. Aminoglycosides Aminoglycosides (gentamicin, kanamycin, tobramycin, streptomycin, neomycin, and amikacin) are a group of structurally related compounds containing three linked hexose sugars. They exert a bactericidal effect by binding irreversibly to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and blocking initiation of protein synthesis.

Distribution To be effective, concentrations of an antibacterial agent must exceed the pathogen's MIC. Serum antibiotic concentrations usually exceed the MIC for susceptible bacteria, but since most infections are extravascular, the antibiotic must also distribute to the site of the infection. Concentrations of most antibacterial agents in interstitial fluid are similar to free-drug concentrations in serum.

Neonatal sepsis still remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the newborn, particularly in preterm, low birth weight infants. Despite advances in neonatal care, overall case-fatality rates from sepsis may be as high as 50%. Clinical signs of bacterial infection are vague and non-specific, and up to now there exists no easily available, reliable marker of infection despite a large bulk of studies focussing on inflammatory indices in neonatology. Every neonatologist is faced with the uncertainty of under- or over- diagnosing bacterial infection.

The level of suspicion of infections with certain organisms should depend on the type of cancer diagnosed (Table 82-3). Diagnosis of multiple myeloma or CLL should alert the clinician to the possibility of hypogammaglobulinemia. While immunoglobulin replacement therapy can be effective, in most cases prophylactic antibiotics are a cheaper, more convenient method of eliminating bacterial infections in CLL patients with hypogammaglobulinemia.

Bacterial Infections In the first month after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, infectious complications are similar to those in granulocytopenic patients receiving chemotherapy for acute leukemia (Chap. 82). Because of the anticipated 1- to 3week duration of neutropenia and the high rate of bacterial infection in this population, many centers give prophylactic antibiotics to patients upon initiation of myeloablative therapy. Quinolones decrease the incidence of gram-negative bacteremia among these patients.

Upper Respiratory Infections: Treatment Antibiotics have no role in the treatment of uncomplicated nonspecific URI. In the absence of clinical evidence of bacterial infection, treatment remains entirely symptom-based, with use of decongestants and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Other therapies directed at specific symptoms are often useful, including dextromethorphan for cough and lozenges with topical anesthetic for sore throat. Clinical trials of zinc, vitamin C, echinacea, and other alternative remedies have revealed no consistent benefit for the treatment of nonspecific URI.

What not to say to someone picking baby names
Posted Tuesday 11th December 2012 By Ericka Waller
I wonder if Wills and Kate are already bickering over baby names. The husband I spent months doing it. Apparently it's the most argued about issue for first-time-parents. My advice would be, don't bloody bother. We never called any of ours any of the names we had spent nine (and-a-half) months rowing over anyway.
When I was pregnant, my baby name book became my bible. It had pride of place beside my bed (next to the bio oil, piles-cream and Gaviscon). I made (neat) notes in the margin next to names I liked. One day I opened it to find the husband had scrawled 'crap' and 'no chance' and 'your pregnancy hormones have made you insane' over my suggestions.
Family members and family-in-law members were also keen to join in the naming game.
My mother would often ring me up and say "Blanche?" instead of hello. "Sorry, wrong number" I'd reply, and put the phone down.
The husband's mum was no better "Hermione?", "Serendipity?", while my father-in-law wanted to call them all Pele, girl or boy.
And if I did dare tell anyone a name I actually liked they would say " Oh, you can't call them that. I knew a dog called that" or "I went to school with a girl called that and she had a black tooth and a limp." Lovely. Thanks for that. One poxy name I like out of 7000 in a book and you've just gone and ruined it.
(Pregnancy hormones made me a bit feisty at times.)
If I'm honest (and when am I not?) I find it a bit weird when people call their baby a name in the womb before it's born, and then refer to it in there, by that name. "Oooh, Keith liked that chocolate cake I just ate."
I don't think people should find out the sex of their baby in the first place anyway. It's like finding out your Christmas presents early. The surprise makes it all the more exciting. It certainly helped me get through labour, thinking "One more push and I can find out if it's Pele or Blanche."*

text: Mila and Sofia wanted to sew some new clothes for their dolls, so sewed this weekend some new doll outfits. They did a great job, I had to help them with some details, doll clothes are tiny so quite complicated to sew. I did some sewing too and made these two outfits. The stripy skirt, leggwarmers and crawl are made from an old legging, it took me only five minutes. The coat and bag took some more time. As soon as the girls finish thier doll clothes I'll take some pictures and share.

Locals engineer an opportunity with Minister to share support for women in STEM
Independent Member for Indi Cathy McGowan said it was thanks to local action that young women working and studying in STEM fields were able to share their stories directly with Minister for Vocational Education and Skills the Hon Karen Andrews on Tuesday 2 May.
Minister Andrews attended a breakfast at the Sustainable Activity Centre in Wodonga where an all-female "Community of Practice" to support women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) was launched.
Ms McGowan congratulated North East Local Learning & Employment Network (NELLEN) and COMPACT Albury Inc for working with her office to reach out to Minister Andrews.
"This is an inspiring example of local women being effective and supporting other women in their chosen field. Thanks to their action, the Minister was able to see first-hand the innovative work being done in vocational education and training in North East Victoria," Ms McGowan said.
Present at the breakfast will be Rutherglen student Emma Gaston who was recently selected by the Australian National University to attend the London International Youth Science Forum. Ms Gaston wishes to pursue a career in neuroscience.
"I am sure that the Minister, with her background in engineering, will be inspired by this initiative to support young women like Emma to succeed in their chosen field," Ms McGowan said.
Minister Andrews will also visit the Trade Training Centre at Wodonga Senior Secondary College, the Wodonga Flexible Learning Centre, Belvoir Special School, the VCAL program at Wodonga TAFE, and a roundtable lunch to discuss regional employment pathways and services available to young people.
"We have many wonderful resources on the border, with two TAFEs, two universities, over sixteen secondary schools, numerous businesses requiring apprentices and trainees. I'm looking forward to exploring with the Minister how they can all benefit from vocational pathways," Ms McGowan said.

Karambit Style Fixed Blade Cleaver Knife With Sheath
Mine came super dull. I fixed it but it took some effort to sharpen. The design is awesome and feels comfortable. The sheath is good as well. Once you sharpen the blade this knife is a beast.
I ordered both the polished and the black Hibbon Claw II. This review is for the black one. The Sheath is good and holds the knife well. The snap closure does not actually hold the blade in, I can pull it out without unsnapping the closure, but have to unsnap it to re-sheath. The blade will not fall out even though the closure is not tight. The belt clip is very tight and holds the sheath securely on my belt. Now for the knife: The black one was significantly less sharp than the polished one, so much so that it was basically useless until I sharpened it. It is NOT difficult to sharpen as some reviews stated. It takes a little work and patience but it is not difficult. Once I got it sharpened it was a handy little blade and with the sheath, it conceals well. The blade itself feels very solid and the finish was nice and smooth, no rough edges, no tool markings, just a well finished piece. And for the price, and a few minutes sharpening, how could you go wrong?
This is one of the better karambits available from BUDK. The curve/angle of many of the others are too shallow (almost hawkbills) and/or small (at least for my adult hand). Measurements: Outside Edge (convex) - 7cm. Inside Edge (concave) - 5.5cm. Rear Brake ~13cm. Front Brake ~10.5cm. Safety Ring Circumference (Inside) - 8cm. Thumb Rise ~3.5cm. Total Outside Length ~23cm. Thickness -3.5mm. Appreciate the extra holes to mount home made grips. The sheath is a nice leather with strong clip and fits with added grips. As you can see from the pictures the Inside Edge does not have much of a curve which makes it easier to sharpen I use whetstone, diamond steel and strop and go for about 25 degree angle/50 included. I AM TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE COMPLAINING SHIPPED DULL, ETC.' FOLKS, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHARPEN/MAINTAIN YOUR BLADE YOU SHOULD PROBABLY NOT OWN IT. Other notes: I don't know what a 'henadgrip design is' or what makes it unique. ALL karambits should be able to be held in two positions (blade 'up' or blade 'down'). I wish it was offered in a carbon steel, but the GH2028 is usable/workable.
Out of the box this knife was very dull. But after thinking about it I'm glad it was. That gave me the option to sharpen it the way I wanted it. It's to small for my hands but fits my girlfriends hands perfect. Oh and John form NNJ. The top edge as you call it should never be sharp. It's a striking edge. The inside edge should be razor sharp. Go on you tube and let someone show you how to use a karambit. I say Gil Hibben made a homerun for the women on this one.
These are great little Karambits. I have a few - sure the don't all come sharp, but it isn't that difficult to fix with some patience, a round file and a round diamond. It isn't meant to be a EDC chore blade, it has only one real purpose. I will say that the top point at the end of the top edge - right by the thumb ramp is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to the user. File it down to a smooth transition. Otherwise your thumb will slide just a little at some point and you will slice it wide open.
Got it the other day. The shipping was no problem, the knife on the other hand was. It couldn't cut butter. Extremely dull. Karambit's are a pain in the ass to sharpen so it kinda sucks. The knife is cool dont get me wrong but it's gonna take some work to get sharp.

China Glaze Devotion, Ozotic 534
When I was doing this mani I realised that I don't actually have all that many metallic nail polishes. China Glaze Devotion is one of my favourite polishes to stamp with, but I rarely use it to paint the whole of my nails. To add some extra bling I topped it off with a coat of Ozotic 534. So much holo!

What is your placement rate?
Our placement rate has been 100% for the last 4 years in the 3 year program.
Does it matter whether I apply for the two-year or three-year program?
No, the first semester is common to both programs and at the end of the first semester the student selects which program to complete.
Is this a firefighting course?
The strategy that Seneca has elected to follow is to incorporate the fire fighting courses into the two-year Fire Protection Diploma Program. This allows the student to choose from several career options at graduation, if fire department opportunities are not available.
Do I have to go into the United States to find employment?
No, our program is widely recognized in both Canada and the United States. It is the choice of the graduate as to location of employment.
What are my career choices?
The following career choices in fire protection are available to graduates:
- Fire fighting
- Fire alarm installation, service and inspection
- Design, installation or inspection of sprinkler systems
- Loss control management in the insurance industry
- Fire protection engineering offices
Is this a hands-on program?
The diploma programs combine both lecture and labs in most courses. Hands-on experiences are encouraged in the student's training.
How do I apply?
There are direct links to the Ontario Colleges Application System on the program pages for Fire Protection Engineering Technician and Fire Protection Engineering Technology.

|The Risen Christ
An example is the "Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani" cry of Christ from the Cross - "My God, My God, Why hast Thou abandoned Me?" It is simply ignored by the homilists - too lazy to point out that it is a quote from the Psalm 22:1 which was always related to the Messiah and well known to the Scribes and the Pharisees.Thus, not a cry of despair but rather an assertion of His Messianic role. Yet the people in the pews, largely unaware of this are left to wonder if God the Son on the Cross thought that God (which He is ) had abandoned Him.
But we are concentrating here on another phrase : ".....but few are chosen"
The latter day homilists let this phrase also simply pass by, usually without comment, or if note is taken of it, it is misinterpreted. At first blush it is certainly not an encouraging statement :
" Many are called, but few are chosen."( Matt. 22.14)
What is the meaning of this ?
Father Romano Guardini (1885-1968)
In his famous book "The Lord", first published in English in the late 1940s Father Guardini ventures into discussion of this phrase in the course of his examination of the Beatitudes. Father Guardini's book is generally full of enlightening and perceptive observations and analysis. Yet here , he seems to become somewhat entangled.
Let us try to follow his thinking :
In Part Two No. III he begins to sum up the Beatitudes , noting their revolutionary demands on mankind. That is to say, they move from what actions man must perform as the Law prescribed, to requiring inner virtue so that purity of intent and its definition of love for others, must be the essence of man's new disposition.He takes the matter further, wondering if it is possible for man to meet this standard?
He then proceeds in short order to quote Matthew 7: 13,14
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy,[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
He notes that Jesus came to" seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 19:10). It must be then, that it is certainly possible for at least some ordinary folk - those upon whom God's Grace is out-poured, to be saved. Father Guardini begins to wallow somewhat at this point, beginning to reflect on individuals' personal abilities to respond to God's Grace. He then moves along to reflect on the story of the rich young man who chooses not to accept Christ's invitation to follow Him because of his attachment to his worldly goods. This leads Christ to comment on how hard it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God.
When this amazes the disciples ,Jesus repeats "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God" (RSVCE Mark 10:24) They were "exceedingly astonished" and replied: "Then who can be saved?" ( 10:26) Jesus responds: "With men it is impossible, but not with God ; for all things are possible with God."( 10:27)
|Christ in Judgement
Father Guardini reflects on the beneficial role of the Church which Christ has established and armed with the seven sacraments to facilitate the provision of His Grace to man on his pilgrim way.
This comes into focus in Matt. 22 :1-14 - the parable of the Wedding Feast.Here the question of entry into the Kingdom of Heaven is again the subject of Our Lord's teaching.
We need to examine this passage carefully, because, as it occurs it can be deceptive. Most tend to see the "Many are called, but few are chosen" as applying solely to the improperly dressed guest who is ejected and his relationship to the other guests at the feast.( They thus tend to identify it precisely as identical with "enter by the narrow gate" as related above.) But , on reflection we see that there is no logic in that , because in the parable only one person is ejected -thus "not chosen" and the vast majority remain.
No, the parable's "many" includes all those originally invited who would not come, plus those later called to replace them when they would not come. The parable is of course about the Jews and Christ's Church. The wedding guests invited are the Jews , the Chosen Race. But , over time, when God sends the Prophets to call them to the feast - to perfection, they manhandle them, reject them, kill them. And finally, He sends His Son and they finally will kill Him.Then God will send His servants, the disciples "out into the whole world" to invite everyone good and bad in to the feast,the Kingdom of God, which is the Church. But it is necessary to follow His teachings and accept His Grace - the wedding garment - to remain.
The "few" are the remaining guests at the feast the faithful members of Christ's Church, the Kingdom of God. But we are warned of the need to do right and follow Christ faithfully - wearing the wedding garment of Divine Grace - if we are not to be ejected. These guests are the people who entered by the narrow gate.

Don't make me turn this car around
As has been noted elsewhere and repeatedly (and yearly), updates to the Phylo wiki seem to be both erratic and inconsistent, with listings sometimes moving back and forth between categories. This may just be SOP for wikis, what with trolls and mischief-makers being about. But, if you're fucking around with the wiki, please stop ruining it for everyone. If you're legitimately and honestly updating the wiki, please continue because you're awesome. If you're not updating the wiki (and you are legit and honest and have legit and honest updates), please do so.
That said, anyone else feel like they don't want to be the first one to post an update?
Does it seem like the PFOs are going out early this year, or is it just me?
142 comments:
I agree, Zombie. The PFOs are going out early this year, and I like it. I might be rejected, but at least I'm not hanging on to false hope.
- January 9, 2014 at 10:55 AM
Is there a way to add a 'PFO received' category to the wiki?
- January 9, 2014 at 11:17 AM
I wish I had an update to post...
There're a bunch of schools I'm waiting to hear about that haven't posted on the wiki and that didn't interview at the APA, or as far as I know via skype or whatever. Several others have already been interviewing. But I've gotten only one official PFO.
- January 9, 2014 at 11:22 AM
It's been between a week and a half and two weeks since APA interviews. Although the wiki hasn't been updated much, I'm assuming it's now pretty safe to conclude that just about any APA-interviewing school has contacted people for fly-outs, yes? (I've not been on the other end of the process, but I can't imagine it would take 2+ weeks to begin scheduling campus visits.)
- January 9, 2014 at 11:45 AM
Ignore the wiki. You will thank me later.
- January 9, 2014 at 11:58 AM
@11:45 am
Imagine it. At some places the bureaucracy involved in hiring is tremendous. And remember interviewers get breaks, too. Schools are starting up next week and beyond, so by my count we've got at least one more week until assumptions are warranted. Hang in there.
- January 9, 2014 at 12:21 PM
Anon 11:45: I know of at least one school that interviewed at the APA but won't be scheduling fly-outs until next week.
- January 9, 2014 at 12:21 PM
- zombie said...
11:45: I can personally and reliably confirm only one APA-interviewing school that has scheduled fly-outs. But presumably, others have.
- January 9, 2014 at 12:51 PM
If it makes anyone feel better, last year I heard from my last fly-out on January 15th. So the clock's still potentially ticking.
- January 9, 2014 at 1:22 PM
Do not assume an APA school, or for that matter, any school has scheduled flyouts until you hear from a reliable source they've done so.
Searches are crazy, all sorts of shit happens. Just do some work and wait for requests or PFOs to come in.
- January 9, 2014 at 1:36 PM
Anon 11:45,
No don't assume all fly-out picks have been contacted. Many schools want to wait until the whole department can meet and that is often during the first week of classes...which as many schools is next week.
- January 9, 2014 at 1:51 PM
I know of a fly-out pick from a previous year who wasn't contacted until March. Presumably the person wasn't a first choice, and it isn't the most common situation, but it happens. I know of another who wasn't contacted until *June* (yes, for tenure track). Again probably not the first choice, but hey, some of us are willing to swallow our pride and take a job even if we're not one of the first round picks. Both interviews led to job offers.
- January 9, 2014 at 2:52 PM
No particular reason for this question. (Just bored.)
I know that at least one school (Princeton) hires 'blind,' based only on submission materials and written work. At the other end of the spectrum, some schools make potential hires do extensive teaching demonstrations, in addition to the standard job talk and interview, before making a decision.
So, my question: are there any schools that do interviews, but do *not* do campus visits (and so hire only on the basis of interviews)?
- January 9, 2014 at 3:10 PM
No. At least I have NEVER heard of one.
- January 9, 2014 at 5:33 PM
I doubt it. University administrators won't be attending the conferences, and will not want to hire someone to the tenure track without a meeting.
Personally, I think it's a waste of time, because unless that administrator has a background in the field, that person has no business influencing a department's search in any way. It's one of those aspects of administration that goes back to their inherent sense of busy work: they need to feel important by insisting that they weigh in decisions they are ill-prepared to make.
Once upon a time, it might have served a purpose. Perhaps back when administrators were still part of the teaching faculty, whose administrative duties were their contributions to university service. Now, however, professional administration is a fixture, completely separate from the faculty ranks.
- January 9, 2014 at 8:24 PM
I've never heard of any school that hired only on the basis of interviews, but I would not be surprised if someone told me that there was a community college that did it that way, given that at least some CCs have hiring done by administrators, rather than professors.
- January 9, 2014 at 8:26 PM
"University administrators won't be attending the conferences, and will not want to hire someone to the tenure track without a meeting."
Often true, but not always. Princeton philosophy does hire new faculty without any interview at all.
Also: my university really does have administrators about half of whom are still teaching at the university. Not teaching full time, but keeping their hands in.

Has anyone heard anything from Avila in Kansas City?
- January 10, 2014 at 6:43 AM
About departments hiring just on the basis of interviews: I was hired for a TT job oversees just on the basis of an interview. Part of the reasoning behind this policy was that it would be too expensive to fly folks out for job talks given the great distance involved.

When one is asked to come to campus for a visit, what's the standard amount of time between the invitation and the visit? (Is there a standard time, or a standard range of time?) Two weeks? Three? A month?
- January 12, 2014 at 9:28 AM
Has anyone heard from Fordham?
- January 12, 2014 at 10:48 AM
- zombie said...
9:28: all of those are within the typical range. The "normal" schedule is for campus visits to be completed by mid to late February, although not everyone follows that schedule. And typically, you'll get a few weeks to a month notice, more or less.
I've never had a campus visit where I was not offered a choice among several dates.
- January 12, 2014 at 2:23 PM
Also, departments *want* you to come to campus (because they might want to hire you!) so they'll often accommodate you. I've had departments schedule me on a week's notice (6 days, actually) because I already had an offer in hand, and another department pushed up my visit by a few weeks, to the day before another candidate's visit, just so they could squeeze me in asap (because of that offer in hand).

10:45 - for first-round interviews, I have seen a lag of a day or more between when things show up on the wiki, and when I have been invited. But there are generally a dozen or so first-round interviews. For fly-outs, there are usually fewer candidates, but it is still possible that the invitations might be staggered. There is also the possibility that some candidates will turn down a fly-out, and the committee will go back to their list to find another candidate to invite.
- January 15, 2014 at 1:09 PM
Why, what's up with the Baruch administration?
- January 15, 2014 at 4:11 PM
The wiki is definitely funky. I have posted jobs that have been deleted and others that have not shown up at all. I have been trying for three days to update University College London, but it hasn't appeared. Also my account has been deleted twice.

I got a request for letters from UCL yesterday - should I take that as a good sign? Have they sent PFOs or requested interviews for some folks?
- January 15, 2014 at 9:24 PM
11:58, is the Baruch job search canceled or something? Or delayed? I had a first round interview there, but haven't heard anything. Should I cross it off my list?
- January 16, 2014 at 4:35 AM
Baruch sent out an affirmative action email to all the applicants, with all the applicants' names and emails visible.
- January 16, 2014 at 4:57 AM
I got the same request from UCL the other day. Odd though, since I had already sent them. I think they are asking for letters from everyone, as I am at an unranked PhD program and ABD. No way UCL would take me!

It's a good sign to be asked for letters, if it is also the case that not everyone was asked for letters. It's a good sign to be asked for anything "extra," but not a sign that you will definitely, certainly, and without doubt be asked to interview. (<<< zombie knows from bitter experience)
- January 16, 2014 at 1:35 PM
The UCL ad that is on their website asks for candidates to send the letters up front (see here: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy/vacancies). So being asked for letters now is likely not good evidence you are near a long list or short list. I suppose it is slightly encouraging, though. Presumably they aren't required to get your letters.
By the way, someone asked about Simon Fraser here and someone asked about Groningen on another thread. Both have drawn up long lists; SFU has also drawn up a short list, but it is unclear if the winners know who they are yet.
- January 16, 2014 at 1:43 PM
I haven't heard anything from Santa Cruz. I wonder if they will go straight to on-campus visits.
Has anyone received an invitation for an on-campus interview from Stony Brook?

To the person who posted about the Simon Fraser short list: what does 'short list' mean in this context? Does it mean a list of people who will be interviewed on Skype?
- January 17, 2014 at 4:18 AM
1:43 here: First SFU question: No, they are going straight to fly outs (I found out I was on the long list because they asked for more materials; however, given how long it's been since the meeting, I doubt I am a winner).
Second SFU question: No, by 'short list' I meant the list of people who are invited to campus.
(Also, fwiw, I was told by a faculty member that they received 472 applications.)

Methinks Simon Fraser is going to come up empty handed with that list. That is as good of a sample of people who are destroying the market as one will get this year.

Agreed, 1:06, agreed ...

On the other hand, it's somewhat dumb not to fly people out just because you think they're too good for you. I'm sure that's what most schools thought about me...

1:06, what do you mean by "destroying the market?"

Don't get me wrong, I think SFU is great. And I'm sure it'd be tough to choose between that and a top 20 PGR program, but I bet the top 20 PGR program is going to win most days.

Looks like utah is bringing in a bunch of folks in jan and feb:
- January 20, 2014 at 7:47 PM
I'm not the previous poster extolling the "life benefits" of SFU. Nor do I work or study at SFU.
I do hope you realize that your life goals are not the same as others. Would I prefer a job at SFU to a Leiterrific school if I were in those candidates' positions? In some cases, absolutely. I just don't care where a school is ranked on Leiter's rankings. It makes absolutely no difference to me.
Would I prefer to live in Vancouver or Tempe? What about Vancouver vs. Ithaca?
Would I rather face the tenure process at SFU or at Harvard? I'm not saying it's easy-going at SFU, but one of these institutions has a reputation for making the process extremely difficult.
Would I prefer to teach students at SFU or engineers at MIT who have been told that they are wasting their time in philosophy courses? (SFU is a well-known school for engineering as well, but I understand the atmosphere is just a bit different).
There are, of course, many great things about teaching at the universities that are ranked highly in Leiter's rankings. You would have extremely bright colleagues and students. Many of the schools are well-endowed and in culturally rich cities or beautiful smaller towns (e.g. Ithaca, which I think is quite nice, but many others don't). But you act as if it's obvious that, to the "top" candidates on the job market, working at one of the schools in Leiter's top 20 is obviously better than working at SFU, regardless of one's values.
I hope you're right and that all of those candidates do think they way you do. It would be a sad comment on our profession, but if they all turn down the offer, perhaps I will get a last-minute interview and end up working at SFU, which is one of my dream jobs.
- January 20, 2014 at 11:34 PM
- By 'destroying the market' I mean 'doing very well.'
So...success on the market is bad for the market? I don't understand. Could you explain this please?
- January 21, 2014 at 4:53 AM
"- By 'destroying the market' I mean 'doing very well.'
So...success on the market is bad for the market? I don't understand. Could you explain this please?"
In an effort to stave off another post derailing, let's make this as simple as possible: 'Destroying' has positive connotations in certain contexts, and the original comment clearly carried those connotations. For instance, in sports, 'destroying' means something like 'dominating' or 'optimally excelling'. So, by 'destroying the market', what is meant is 'doing extremely well on the market'. And, indeed, the list of SFU finalists are doing just that (they have interviews at a lot of really nice places).
I'm not the poster of the original comment. But I am a poster who is more interested in self-reported success/troubles on this year's market and information on departments' selections for on-campus visits (and I'm sure I'm not alone).
- January 21, 2014 at 5:55 AM
To 4:53am,
The verb "to destroy" is slang for "do very well". For example, the sentence "the band destroyed that set" can mean that they performed their set quite well.
- January 21, 2014 at 6:13 AM
1:06/7:21 here:
11:34: It sounds like you think my view is that they'll choose a Leiteriffic school *because* it is Leiteriffic. I don't think that; that would be a stupid reason for them to choose one place over another. And it would be a sad fact about our profession if that were true. But it's not. Likely they'll choose Leiteriffic departments because those departments probably can offer them more than SFU can by way of salary, leave time/teaching reductions, and quality of philosophical life. Those are *really* good reasons to choose one place over another (at least if you are really serious about research). And while it's true that tenure will be difficult to get at some places (although not all Leiteriffic places given reasonable expectations about the output of those particular philosophers and philosophers like them), even if one doesn't get tenure at, say, Harvard, one is very likely to receive a tenured offer from some other good department right away.
Fair enough about preferences about individual locations. I didn't claim it was irrational to prefer SFU over some Leiteriffic department, nor did I say there isn't any reason to. I just said it's more likely they'll go for the Leiteriffic schools. It was implicit in my comment, and I am now asserting this, that there are good reasons for this (the fact that the place is Leiteriffic is *not* among those reasons).
4:53: I picked up this usage from playing sports. One is not destroying the market qua abstract object; one is destroying the *competition* on the market. As in: Richard Sherman destroyed Crabtree on that last play! I guess this usage is not very common. Apologies for being confusing.

I'm not the previous poster about UCL. At least the Lectureship in the UCL Department of Philosophy (Specialisation in Ancient, Early Modern or Post-Kantian Philosophy) is at the long-list stage because they sent out at least one request for writing samples.
- January 22, 2014 at 1:57 PM
I'm not sure if this is what 7:24 AM had in mind, but the UCL open search has solicited two pieces of writing from some (and I think not all) candidates. Suggests maybe they've narrowed the pool.
- January 22, 2014 at 2:42 PM
I was asked for writing samples. The full job description described this request as the stage immediately prior to on-campus interviews.
- January 22, 2014 at 3:13 PM
On the SFU thread:
I know more than one of those candidates, and I can tell you that all the ones I know think an offer from Simon Fraser is well above their current expected value. My bet is that Simon Fraser lands one of those candidates. (And I agree that it's a pretty dreamy job.)
- January 22, 2014 at 3:28 PM
Did anyone here apply at Nazarbayev University? In Kazakhstan.
- January 24, 2014 at 5:12 AM
The SFU candidates are truly terrific. Good luck to them and the school with the hiring.
I don't think it's appropriate to speculate in a public forum about which jobs specific named individuals are likely or unlikely to accept. I imagine it would be distressing for the individuals involved, and potentially also unpleasant for the hiring school(s).

The market is rough indeed if one of those SFU candidates takes the job. Not that SFU isn't a great place -- heck, I'd have loved to get a flyout. But I'm at a 10-20 dept. The fact that candidates from top-5 depts are thinking of it as better than they expected means that the rest of us are getting bumped down pretty far.
- January 24, 2014 at 9:57 AM
- zombie said...
I can't speak for the candidates at SFU, but they can presumably not apply to a job they would consider unacceptable. Personally, I'd love to be at SFU, but my love is unrequited.
People have many reasons for finding some jobs more desirable than others, and they don't all have to do with the ranking of the school.

I have a question, my friends:
Say you've written a paper that is in large part a criticism of the views of famous philosopher X. Now you want to get it published.
Ought you to avoid sending it to a journal that is edited by famous philosopher X? Or if that's the best place for it, should you have good faith that this won't junk up the process?
Thank you my friends.
- January 24, 2014 at 1:47 PM
Only two of those people are from top-5 programs. (There are some visiting speakers from leiteriffic programs who are just colloquium speakers, not job candidates.)
But yeah, you are presumably aware that several top-five programs have at least a dozen students on the market. There's no way for all of them to pick the very sweetest plums. Simon Fraser is pretty damn sweet (as I think we all agree).
- January 24, 2014 at 2:17 PM

Paper Author: I would not send said paper to said journal edited by said philosopher criticized in said paper.
Unless one is a glutton for punishment. I don't see it ending well, unless said philosopher is exceptionally magnanimous. And maybe s/he is.

Say you've written a paper that is in large part a criticism of the views of famous philosopher X. Now you want to get it published.
Ought you to avoid sending it to a journal that is edited by famous philosopher X?
Your case is crucially under-described. In what tone is your criticism made? There is a wide range, approximately from "X is the dominant view for good reason, since it seems so intuitively compelling and has attracted such eminent proponents as philosopher A, but X proves incapable of handling cases like these" to "It is a mystery why anyone should believe X, but here's famous philosopher A who apparently does, so it's worth taking seriously enough to destroy it as follows."
The closer your paper is to the first sort of criticism, the more clear it is that you should first send it to the journal that A edits.
Something many people seem to miss, including many contributors to this blog, is that being criticized -- in at least a civil and preferably a respectful tone -- even trenchantly, is far preferable to being ignored. Are there famous philosophers who don't realize this and have yet to meet a criticism they like, either substantively or strategically? Sure. But more are canny enough to realize that what matters most is that people are talking about you, and almost all philosophical talk is to some degree critical.
Nobody hurts Ted Sider by criticizing Ted Sider, not even if the criticism is powerful.
There's also something to be learned here about how to write philosophy papers, which one would do well to internalize.

8:06 -- you're right about WestCoast Feminist. Just reread her posts in the epic thread she shared with Rodolfo a couple of years ago.
For those newbie smokers who don't want to wade through it but are lucky enough to be interviewing at SFU: be very careful which fork you use at dinner, particularly in front of snarky transplants from the east coast. Your prospects can be scuttled if you grab the wrong utensil and she happens to notice.
The rule, for those not in the know, is always to use the utensils farthest away from your dish, moving in in order course by course. The servers will set them up so that that works automatically. Your dessert fork and/or spoon will be above your plate -- that's the only exception.

I work in the SFU Philosophy Dept. I'd have used my full name if I was okay with this creepy discussion appearing in the Google results for a search of my name.
Here's a fact: WestCoast Feminist does not work in my department. I'm not speculating; I'm not making an inference to the best explanation. But I won't tell you how I know this because I'm sure it would induce another round of borderline slanderous speculation.
This kind of speculation about the identities of anonymous posters is probably inevitable in a forum like this one. But those of you who have engaged in it in this case are wrong and you should stop.
On the earlier conversation: let me confirm that SFU is a fantastic place to work, and the quality of life in this part of the world is very, very high.
- January 27, 2014 at 4:28 PM
On to, hopefully, a completely different subject:
I have an on-campus interview at a SLAC coming up. The way that the SC chair and I scheduled the interview led me to believe that it is likely that the SC does not plan to fly out any finalists other than me, unless, I suppose, I completely botch the on-campus. I won't go into the details. Also, the job hasn't been updated to on-campus visit status on the job wiki, which, I guess, also moderately confirms my suspicions.
Here's my question: how common is it that a SC would fly out their top candidate in the hopes that he or she will work out without scheduling fly-outs with other finalists?
- January 27, 2014 at 8:00 PM
8:00 - Congrats on the fly-out. Just out of curiosity, is there any reason why you haven't updated the wiki yourself? I ask simply because there seems to be a serious lack of updating going on. I, for one, have no delusions of being contacted at this point by any of the schools that interviewed me, but it would have been nice to have had some confirmation of this via the wiki a while back.
- January 28, 2014 at 4:30 AM
"Here's my question: how common is it that a SC would fly out their top candidate in the hopes that he or she will work out without scheduling fly-outs with other finalists?"
It is not common, but it can happen with a low-budget SLAC. Of course, it could be that your competition is local and therefore driving to the on-campus, or else an inside candidate and so walking to the on-campus.
- January 28, 2014 at 4:34 AM
As an SLAC chair and frequent search committee member, I'd say it is common for us nowadays to do such a thing, given costs. The first fly out is the best candidate. If it works, we stop the process. If not, we go to #2.
Whether this is common in other places, I can't say, but I do think more places have turned to it in the face of budget issues.

And while we're shaming, how about Providence College? I'm amazed to learn that they asked applicants to write essays in response to their precious mission statement. I'm not amazed that people did it, but [gratuitous and protracted outpouring of profanity]!!!

7:13, I must have filled out half a dozen applications asking to address the school's mission statement. It seems pretty common among schools with a serious religious affiliation (though not all of them).

I began with frontend web development but found soon myself doing mobile as well. Since then, I've got the taste of amazing range of different mobile technologies. Having graphic design background, I have also been doing some UI and concept design. After all, being creative is what means the most to me.

Subject: [ecasound] ecasound/alsa-ice1712 won't work with 384MB RAM!
From: J. Gareth Williams (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Fri Feb 23 2001 - 22:26:14 EET
a few weeks ago i posted a message polling for helpor advice getting my
debian box to run ecasound with alsa drivers (Midiman Delta66)
it turns out it had nothing to do with debian - not suprisingly - but the
truth turned out to be even more bizarre. I had 384MB of RAM in my box and
it would not work. Take out a 128MB module, and ta-da - it works. I
repeated it several times.
does that make any sense at all?
i'm not sure if it's ecasound or alsa... anyone else know of another
multitrack-capable player/recorder i could try to see where the problem
thanks for any insight someone could provide...
