Ruth is eleven and the year is 1973. Back then New Zealand hospitals were regimented institutions where the Doctors and Matron were one step away from God and visitors, including parents, were allowed in for one strict hour, twice a day.
The story moves between Ruth as a nineteen year old, and her experiences in hospital. Long hidden emotions emerge, bringing with them unanswered questions: Why didn't her mother visit her? Why was Dad mad? And why did everyone get sick?
I had a long stay in hospital myself when I was eleven, and Tania's writing took me right back to the wards. As Ruth fell in love, faced her past and learnt to live with her scars, I was pulled along with her, feeling her pain, her joy and frustration. It's a story that will stay with me for a long time.

I think I'll put this one on my list! It sounds compelling, and I want to know what those scars are. Your review has convinced me. Thanks, Sue!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the lovely comments, Sue.Those of us who, as children, endured hospital in the dark ages can appreciate the subtlies of the mudaneness that is hopsital time.ReplyDelete
It is also resonating with my current batch of students because of the mother/daughter issue.

Yes, I am officially a Pet Author! Pet Author of Chestnuts Primary School in North London to be precise.
So does that mean they feed me and hug me and have a doggy bed for me? Of course it doesn't. (Er, then again, they do have nice biscuits for me every time I visit, the little guys in Infants tend to hug me a lot, and I DID wear my pyjamas for their World Book Day 'Reading In Bed' theme.)
Well, my ACTUAL title is Patron of Reading. It's a scheme that started not so long ago, linking schools with authors. It means, as an author, you visit the school regularly and get to work with all the children there, and as a school, you get someone onboard who will hopefully inspire children to read more than they might already.
And did I say it's fun? Oh, yes, it's fun! Myself and Chestnuts' school librarian Funny Bones, um, I mean Miss Efthymiou (pictured here, not in her normal clothes, obvz) get to think up fab things to do with the students, all centred around reading for pleasure.
In fact, it's so much fun, that we've already decided I'm going to stay as Pet Author of Chestnuts next year. *Wuff, wuff!!*
So spread the word about the Patron of Reading scheme. Wouldn't it be lovely if there were more Pet Authors owned by schools?

Little Green Apples
Little green apples (some are red).
Market was frozen in a black and white polaroid;
a deaf dog is barking at the wind.
Mirrored lips are matching, two are yours-
and other boys would love to be where I've just been.
I like the soft things better now. I was foolish. I was stupid. But there is a certain stillness at the center of the universe, where the lottery makes payments with a million tired dollars and we shrug and curse our luck and tear the useless numbers up.
It is probably more hopeless than that.
Play the record where the room was not entirely soundproofed: hear the crickets caught in cobwebs, hear the 18-wheelers moving freight and waiters between shifts smoking their menthol cigarettes with no regrets for their inclusion, nor a small shred of delusion that there's any life till 2 and then it's let's get fucked up quick.
You have this look today and yesterday and ever since I've noticed that blocks everything except you out and you're all that's in focus –
Little green apples (with some red
but most not yet).
The sunset light was golden through the mesh of a screened-in deck.

Now that everyone's on Instagram, anybody who slaps on a washed out filter is ready to declare themselves an artist. But you're fooling no one with that blown up print of the "graffiti at dusk" shot hanging above bed. Leave it to the pros at Pixelist, who'll render your favorite shots by hand, in oil on canvas.
Once you've picked the 'gram you want immortalized, shoot an email indicating how large you'd like it (they start at 12x12in and go all the way up to 6x6ft). Then, they'll put out notice to their coterie of talented artists, and have them get to work depicting your scene. Like part of the photo, but want to crop something out? Or highlight something specific? Let them know and they'll zero in on it. Want to tweak the color scheme? Pick your palette and they'll do their best to make it happen.

Today's kids play the video games of our youth and comment on them.
My, how times have changed.
Some quotes from Tim, age 11:
Regarding "Pong": "My line is so beating the heck out of your stupid line. Fear my pink line. You have no chance. I am the undisputed lord of virtual tennis. [Misses ball] Whoops."
Regarding "Space Invaders": "This is nothing compared to Grand Theft Auto III, because you can't steal a taxi cab, pick up somebody, then drive into the ocean with him."
Thanks, Electronic Gaming Monthly, for making me feel old. And I didn't even *play* videogames much as a kid.

Peer Health Education (PHE) hosted its program, "50 Shades of Consent," on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
PHE's Sexual Assault Prevention Team (SAPT) organized the event to educate students about consent.
For the program, members of SAPT passed out free candy and asked students to sign a contract. Many students took the candy and signed the paper without reading it, but later learned that the contract required them to do 100 push-ups a day for life. After SAPT members explained the push-up requirement, many students wanted to take back their decision.
SAPT member Rebecca Bowen explained how the program related to consent.
"We explained to each student that consent is retractable, and that someone can say no to sex at any time," Bowen said. "We also talked about how a person cannot just make someone sign a contract and forgo their right to consent. We didn't actually make anyone do the push-ups, because they have a right to say no."
The program was inspired by the Valentine's Day release of the new movie "50 Shades Freed." In the "50 Shades" series, Anastasia Steele signs a contract with Christian Grey in which she forgoes her right to consent.
"SAPT decided to have this program because we wanted to educate people about how signing a contract, or any legal document, doesn't make it OK for another person to have sex with the person who signed the contract," Bowen said. "We wanted to raise awareness that every person always has the right to say no even if at one point that person agreed and said yes."
Bowen hopes that the program will raise awareness about sexual assault and educate students about available on-campus resources.
"This program is important because it educates people about consent and teaches people ways to be proactive against sexual assault," Bowen said. "Especially with things happening at other schools, like MSU, we want SVSU students to know what their rights are, and that they have resources like Student Wellness Programs, the Counseling Center and Campus Police for help and support."
Bowen stressed that the stigma surrounding sexual assault shouldn't prevent people from seeking help if they need it.
"I know that things such as sexual assault and domestic violence are sensitive subjects for many people," Bowen said, "but SVSU students should know that if they need help or support in anything, there are people here to help, no one is alone."
Several SVSU students were in attendance, including third-year business student Jack Koehn.
"I knew that the '50 Shades' movies were unrealistic and shouldn't be a model for a healthy adult relationship," Koehn said. "I didn't know before (this event) just how non-consensual it was, though."
Third-year accounting student Johnathan Bartosiewicz agreed.
"This was a good event for college students to go to," Bartosiewicz said. "I learned a lot about respecting women."

Welcome Back!
Today we began the new school year! This year brings with it a lot of new and exciting opportunities for our students. One of those opportunities includes the influx of chromebooks in a few classrooms. I was blessed with these new devices after working with iPads for the last 4 years.
|Thought-Provoking Idea
New Ideas
With this thought provoking idea, I developed a new idea. Why not have students create something that was shared out to the world that describes the syllabus, the class, and them personally? After talking to my principal, +Chris Thompson, and a fellow teacher (My wife), +Amanda Houp, I created an assignment on Google Drawing for the first day. (Copy of assignment Link)
|My Example
As students came into my class, I had them grab a chromebook and log into their School Issued Google Apps Account. Of course a few students had forgotten their passwords, but with me being the Google Apps Administrator it was easy to change their passwords. Then I directed the students to the Google Classroom site in order to enroll in my "class" (classroom.google.com). To do this, I displayed the enrollment code on the TV. Some students logged on, others struggled. To help alleviate this and get students on the same page, I had the logged in students (experts) help those struggling. This helped everyone get on the same page much sooner. Also, I created a basic example that I would turn in if I were a student which gave visual learners an idea of how to approach the assignment. (Copy of Example)

On a chromebook, use three fingers on the trackpad to switch quickly between various open tabs within Chrome.
Final Reflection
Are there other ways to do this? Absolutely! But overall I was very happy with the amount of preliminary skills students developed. If you have other ideas or tips, please share for others to learn!

We all know there are fundamental differences between raising black children and raising white children. But black parents really do some of the most bizarre and damaging things. Here is an incomplete list of things black parents really need to stop doing to their children.
1. Requiring us to contribute financially while we are still in our teen years and early twenties.
Many black parents, especially, encourage their children to start working as soon as they are the legal age too. That in itself is not usually a problem.
Where the issue comes in is when black parents funnel most, if not all, of their children income into their own. My first year out of high school was also my first year working, my mother took every last penny I made. I wasn't able to save. Not for a car, not for college, not for new clothes. Nothing.
2. Using public embarrassment as punishment.
We've all seen those viral photos of black parents giving their sons the "old man haircut," when they've gone to school and showed their ass by trying to "act grown" and they are hilarious… on the surface.
But public humiliation not only makes your child a target for bullying but can cause undue stress and lead to low self-esteem. Whatever happened to just spanking, sending us to bed without dinner or taking away our electronics for a weekend?
3. Threatening our lives.
First of all, it's counterproductive. Second of all, it's emotional abuse. If a husband did it to a wife, everyone would tell her to get out of the marriage. If someone did it to a co-worker, they'd probably be terminated, best case.
Worst case, the police would be called. So, why is it less harmful to do it to your own child?
4. Beating and physically abusing us.
Discipline is a big thing in black households. Belts, switches and big ass spoons are very familiar to the rear ends of many black children.
But some parents take it too far. I can remember at one point growing up my mom forcefully dragging me out of the car kicking and screaming and leaving me on the side of the road in the middle of the night for not responding to her in a conversation quick enough. Then when I finally made it home after a 10-minute walk, throwing a glass at my head upon walking through the door.
Was this really justified?
Now, spanking is one thing. A belt to the back of the legs is one thing. But beating your child is an entirely different animal. It's abuse. Stop teaching us that love and physical pain go hand in hand.
5. Discouraging us from pursuing the arts.
While the arts can oftentimes be a hard business to get into, it can also be very lucrative. Whether it's singing, writing, or directing, there are tons of avenues into the business, especially in 2017. Not to say you shouldn't encourage a backup plan, but life is too short and too sad to stand in the way of your children's creativity or dreams.
6. Partaking in homophobia and encouraging violence towards the LGBTQ community.
Homophobia is rampant in the black community, especially for the Caribbean community. This is something that probably won't change for a long while seeing as how the traumatic roots of black homophobia can be traced back to slavery.
However, this isn't so to say that the way the black community, in general, treats the LGBTQ community is at all justified. Many black people use the Bible to spread hate as if God didn't specifically tell us to love our neighbors as ourselves and leave all judgment to Him.
You don't have to condone the feelings others have about their own sexuality, you just need to mind your business.
7. Not allowing us to have emotions.
Black children are often not allowed to have emotions other than happiness or contentment about anything. The slightest of emotions are often shut down. In fact, black parents love to compete with their children. "Oh, you cryin' cus you scraped your knee? Boy, get up! I'm cryin' cus I got all these bills!"
And God forbid you slam a door out of anger.
8. Perceiving dissenting opinions as disrespect.
Black children really aren't allowed to have opinions outside of their parents' opinions.
Point. Blank. Period.
And bless your heart if any of your opinions on religion don't reflect those of your parents. There's no way you don't know this stifles your child's mental growth. It's one thing to want to shape your children, but what happens when they grow and realize they have no sense of self and can't get one because they have like zero original thoughts?
9. Not allowing us to have any personal space.
I wish I could have said the words "personal space" in my mom's house. There is nothing wrong with giving your children some alone time with their thoughts. You know you need it to stay sane, why would you assume your children don't?
10. Continuously using explicit language.
You have to know children watch everything you do and repeat everything you say. Set an example.
11. Pretending that you're never wrong and not apologizing when you are, in fact, dead wrong.
One thing every black millennial knows is that black parents don't apologize… for anything. Literally, nothing is their fault, ever. And there is not one time in the history of their life as a parent that they have ever been wrong.
A black mom could leave a pot on the stove, burn down the entire block and then have the nerve to blame her children for asking for some Easy Mac. Often times growing up, my mom would jump the gun and punish me for something I didn't do and upon realizing I was an innocent party, just go on living life like she didn't just mollywop my edges off. Just say sorry, sometimes.
12. Making us call everyone auntie or uncle.
Everyone is not our auntie or uncle and you really should be more careful about who you let around your children. Which leads me to my final point…
13. Ignoring sexual abuse and shaming your daughters.
That inappropriate cousin that flirts with all the ladies (including blood relatives) is nasty and should really not continuously be invited to family gatherings where children are present and you know it. Those uncles that you have that make you feel like you need to tell your teen daughters to put on longer pants or cover up with a jacket are predators and should not be invited to the house.
And when your daughter tells that your husband makes her sit on his lap when they are alone together, believe her.
She did not seduce your man and he needs to be in jail.
Feel free to add any that I have missed in the comment section below.

Talk about being a pain in the butt!
A Spanish matador was shown who was boss when a bull got revenge by goring him in the buttocks.
Julian Lopez, 33, received the painful injury during a fight in Seville, Spain, on Friday night.
The bull pierced the matador, known as El Juli, with its right horn, forcing him to the ground in La Maestranza bullring.
According to Spanish media reports, Lopez was taken to hospital with a wound measuring 15 centimetres.
Photographs show how he was lifted into the air as the bull launched the attack in front of shocked spectators.
Blood can be seen on his clothing as he was examined at the side of the ring by medical staff.

One of the more interesting groups in years bid farewell to Colorado high school basketball Saturday in The Show All-Star Game at the Pepsi Center.
The Gold Team rallied past the Blue Team 83-79 in the popular event hosted by the Nuggets and Gold Crown Foundation, but it went well beyond any score or victory.
"It was a great group to coach," Holy Family and Gold Team coach Pete Villecco said. "They were on the court for a three-hour practice, they listened, they looked you in the eye … and I'm from freakin' (Class) 3A and they listened to me."
The Class of 2014 was talented and heavy at the top if not deep, and the wave of players headed to play college basketball was significant.
Chief among them was Denver East's Dom Collier, who was awarded game MVP honors after 17 points — 11 in the third quarter, when the Gold Team made its move — six rebounds and six assists.
Bound for the University of Colorado, Collier, a two-time Mr. Colorado Basketball by The Denver Post, said the cap to his career was fitting and complete while playing with and against a who's who from the past season.
"It was a good end," the 6-foot-1 point guard said. "It was fun to play with all of these great players."
It served as a showcase. On Collier's Gold team, Highlands Ranch's Zach Braxton (headed to Weber State) contributed 13 points and nine rebounds. Underrated Collin Smith of Thompson Valley scored 13 points. Fort Collins' Toby Van Ry (Colorado State) scored 10, and Denver East's Ronnie Harrell (Creighton) and Mountain Vista's Jake Pemberton (Denver) each added nine, with Pemberton adding four key free throws late.
On the Blue side, emerging 6-10 Overland sophomore De'Ron Davis was solid with 19 points and seven rebounds. Rangeview's Jeremiah Page, who will play for CSU, led all scorers with 20 points.
And 19 of the 20 players scored.
"Awesome," Villecco said. "From the first practice until now, it was an awesome experience. Just great kids."

Mexican Election 2018
Economic Events
Presidential & legislature elections in Mexico
Latin American countries are exposed to a broad EM currency sell-off due to lingering political concerns and high foreign capital position. Of these countries, Mexico is the most vulnerable. While growth remains challenging due to NAFTA 2.0 negotiations, the timing of presidential elections adds a level of unwanted uncertainty.
On 1 July, Mexicans head to the ballot boxes, with leftist presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) holding a decisive 13pp lead in the polls. AMLO is widely viewed as an anti-market candidate, mostly due to his opposition to energy reforms. He has pledged to reduce poverty, end corruption and manage US president Trump. Yet despite general disapproval of private investment in the energy sector, we believe AMLO will be a pragmatic president who is unlikely to make meaningful changes to Mexico's current economic policy.
Elections are always an uncertain business, yet this election cycle takes it to a new level. Besides the potential political misstep, which could bring down a candidate, Mexico faces idiosyncratic issues. First is the soaring death toll of candidates and other political officials, which has reached 35 this election season, according to unofficial numbers. The assassinations reportedly led dozens of candidates to pull out of races.
Second is the direction of new NAFTA agreement. Despite a significant push by the US to meet congressional deadlines, NAFTA 2.0 was not reached. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin stated that President Trump would be willing to accept a "skinny" NAFTA, lowering the bar so that congressional approval would not be required. The next unofficial deadline to reach an agreement will be 1 July, the same day as Mexico's general elections. Markets should expect increased volatility the closer we move to Election Day.

Jury Awards Passenger in Truck Accident $5.2 million
A jury has awarded $5.2 million in damages to a vehicle passenger left paralyzed after an accident with a truck.
Curtis Woods was a backseat passenger in a car driven by Crystal Lowder when the vehicle was slammed into by a Union Pacific truck driver. Woods, 19 at the time of the accident, suffered a broken vertebra and is now permanently paralyzed.
Lowder was held responsible for 94 percent, or $4.9 million, of the damages, while the truck driver was held responsible for the remaining six percent.
"By its verdict, the jury in essence said that what happened to Curtis Woods shouldn't have happened," says Woods' attorney, James C. Orr, Jr.
The jury reached the verdict in 8 days of trial in Fort Worth's 153rd District Court, under judge Ken Curry.

Aging is cruel. I write this at the tender graying age of 24.
In my first year of university, when I was 18, I began finding my first gray hairs on my head, mixed in with all my other hairs. That collection of wiry hair has since had babies and lots of them. I used to extract them, but like Samantha on Sex and the City said, "There'll be six more coming to its funeral."
So I left them there to texturize and add colour to my naturally dark brown hair, a gift from my mother's Scottish roots and my father's Irish ancestory.
Like Samantha, I was shocked and rather appalled when another hair covered region south of my equator started sprouting grays. What to do? Manually brush them? Selectively thin? Apply hairicides? Dye it?
I laughed uncontrollably. I was trying to solve this question using what I knew about invasive species in commercial plantations. As a bush (read: forest) bunny, I am well versed in both the theory and practice of silviculture and sought to tackle my own invasive species in my bush accordingly.
In what would be in violation on any provincial forestry act, I decided to leave them. Not embrace them, but let them be.
Samantha taught me that chemical colouring should not be applied unless the desired outcome is a caution-road-works-sign orange box.

Frankfurt for All
UNStudio has been selected as the winners of an international competition to design a new mixed-use development on the site of the former Deutsche Bank offices in Frankfurt, Germany. Selected to complete the urban strategy for the district last March, UNStudio has now been unanimously selected to carry out the architectural redevelopment of the site, beating out third prize proposals from the teams of Dudler / Jahn and MSW / Snøhetta, and an honorable mention from Christoph Mäckler / CoopHimmelblau.
The eight-member jury, consisting of city representatives, architects, and urban development experts Groß & Partner Grundstücksentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, commended UNStudio's scheme for its strong silhouette and the arrangement of the four towers to create strong connections to the existing network of inner city routes.
The new mixed-use development will consist of four high-rise towers ascending from a multi-story plinth in the heart of the city. The project includes space for retail, restaurants and hotels, as well as a full range of residential accommodation. The four towers, rising up to 228 meters (748 feet) high, will serve as a new landmark on the Frankfurt skyline.
Previously restricted from public access, the redevelopment will allow visitors to the site for the first time in more than 45 years. The full district masterplan is estimated to accommodate 3,000 workers and 1,000 residents. In addition to the residential and office spaces, the complex will feature retail, catering, and playground and adventure areas for children
Construction on the project is expected to begin later this year, with the first building slated to open in 2021.

Never say never. I said I would never teach on the internet and I got busted – blissfully busted. Who knew this could be such a powerful bridge between me and dancers all over the world?
I´m LOVING my new PRIVATE ON LINE COURSES (go figure!).
It´s a new medium – with its particular limitations and potential – and it´s connecting me with dancers from USA, Japan, Slovenia, Germany, Spain and counting. I travel to perform and teach but my time with dancers is limited to a weekend or a week, if we´re really lucky. I leave those dancers behind hoping they´ll have digested some of what I taught and use it in the future. Yet…you cannot compete with time and repetition (or their absence). If they don´t have regular access to my lessons, it´s obvious most of what I want to communicate gets lost.
My On Line Private Courses are changing the situation – BIG time. No matter where I am, I can keep teaching dancers for a considerable length of time and actually SEE the results of my work.
Add to that the fact that we´re dealing with a machine – a computer between us – and that obstacle (for me it is still an obstacle) is also a challenge. How can I compensate for the fact that dancers are not physically present during the class? We work on Skype, face to face – no pre-recorded videos, thank you very much. I need to see the person moving and guide them according to what they´re doing at every single moment; I also need them to SEE me, feel my pauses, my questions and my notes while the class is taking place.
The most interesting point about this new teaching tool is the way we can GUESS each other´s soul through a camera as well as the new creative ways of reaching that person. Nothing beats human contact, physical presence, that breath of the same air shared by two or more people in a room but the world moves ahead (so must we).
If we just keep our eyes and our faith open, we see the new possibilities this crazy world keeps offering. Evolution and adaptation seem to be the new basic survival tools – they have probably always been. Old jobs, ways of living and thinking are disappearing and giving place to a new way of living, working and communicating. Above that: I can see it: a new way of BEING HUMAN and relating to other people through energy, intuition, thought and higher levels of perception we haven´t consciously used until now.
Every dancer I have taught, so far, on my ON LINE PRIVATE LESSONS has been a joyful journey full of discoveries, pleasures, essential learning curves and, strangely enough, human connection.
L-O-V-I-N-G every second of this new world**********************

Belmont: Chicagoans Get a Glimpse of 'Win Win' and Chat with Director
Win WIn, directed by Tom McCarthy, hits theaters March 25.
(Photo courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures)
By Katie Karpowicz
The Red Line Project
Posted: Monrday, March 7, 2011
Screenwriter/director Tom McCarthy held a pre-screening of his newest film "Win Win" on March 2 at Landmark Century Theater in Lakeview. In January, Win Win played to rave reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
The film portrays a struggling suburban New Jersey lawyer and high school wrestling coach Mike Flaherty (played by Paul Giamatti) who takes on the responsibility of caring for an elderly client's grandson (Alex Shaffer) after his mother enters a rehab program.
The audience soon learns that the grandson, Kyle, was once a high school wrestling star in his home state of Ohio. Flaherty puts Kyle on his team after he and his family begins caring for the teenager
Following the screening, McCarthy, discussed aspects of the film and answered questions from audience members. McCarthy, who co-wrote "Win Win" with high school friend Joe Tiboni, talked about the emphasis on character development throughout the film.
"Sometimes I'm not as plot-driven as some directors are," McCarthy said. "I think they approach [films] with a real strong sense of 'This is what I want to do' or they're locked into a genre or they're locked into a really specific type of story. I don't do that as much. I do start with character and let it organically unfold from there."
McCarthy added that one of the biggest hurdles in producing "Win Win" was casting the 16-year-old Kyle.
"I think the big thing with this movie was, 'could that kid work?'" McCarthy said. "Could we find a kid to pull that character off because he is written very sparely and very monosyllabically. [Kyle] reminds me of a lot of 15- and 16-year-olds that I know, that just don't give you the time of day. They don't show anything. They just are there but they do hear everything. They do have feelings. They do know what's going on."
Because of the number of wrestling scenes, McCarthy held castings for actual high school wrestlers only, in order to improve the realism of the film.
"We had Alex [Shaffter] who was just so superior to us on every level," McCarthy said. "Even his wrestling vocabulary was so extensive that he would take what we did and make it better."
This film was Shaffer's theatrical debut. Two weeks after being cast for the role, Shaffer actually went on to win the New Jersey state wrestling championship in his weight class.
This is McCarthy's third film as a director. However, prior to his previous directorial efforts, "The Station Agent" and "The Visitor", he developed a successful career in film and television acting. McCarthy appeared the HBO series "The Wire"and in critically acclaimed films such as 2007's "Michael Clayton."
McCarthy's latest film is an ode to New Providence, the suburban New Jersey town that he grew up in.
"We wanted to portray the suburb and this particular community as a place as where this guy [lead character Mike Flarety] wants to live," he said. "It is his dream—to raise a kid, have a small business—and that's his life and we really didn't want to condescend that or patronize it in any way and a lot of that was through Paul's eyes and his performance."
"Win Win" also stars Amy Ryan, Bobby Cannavale and Jeffrey Tambor. The film opens nationally March 25.

Here are his 15 effects of superficial preaching:
Some time ago I hosted a discussion at the Expositors' Institute, an annual small-group colloquium on preaching held at our church. In preparation for that seminar, I took a yellow legal pad and a pen and began listing the negative effects of the superficial brand of preaching that is so rife in modern evangelicalism.
I initially thought I might be able to identify about ten, but in the end I had jotted down a list of sixty-one devastating consequences. I've distilled them to fifteen by combining and eliminating all but the most crucial ones. I offer them as a warning against superficial, marginally-biblical preaching—both to those who stand behind the pulpit and to those who sit in the pew.
- It usurps the authority of God over the soul.
- It removes the lordship of Christ from His church.
- It hinders the work of the Holy Spirit.
- It demonstrates appalling pride and a lack of submission.
- It severs the preacher personally from the regular sanctifying grace of Scripture.
- It clouds the true depth and transcendence of our message and therefore cripples both corporate and personal worship.
- It prevents the preacher from fully developing the mind of Christ.
- It depreciates by example the spiritual duty and priority of personal Bible study.
- It prevents the preacher from being the voice of God on every issue of his time.
- It breeds a congregation that is as weak and indifferent to the glory of God as their pastor is.
- It robs people of their only true source of help.
- It encourages people to become indifferent to the Word of God and divine authority.
- It lies to people about what they really need.
- It strips the pulpit of power.
- It puts the responsibility on the preacher to change people with his cleverness.

Our NBA consultant shares his two top NBA picks of the day. Join us in reading this revealing betting preview article that provides you with a superior wagering edge.
Bucks vs. Nets 7:35 PM ET
Neither one of these teams prefers an up tempo pace to their games. Milwaukee is averaging a very low 79 field goal attempts per game, and Brooklyn is at an average of 83 per contest.
Brooklyn is averaging a paltry 88.7 points per game in their first three contests. During that stretch, they've converted on a dismal 21.1% of their three points attempts, and are a poor 68.9% from the free throw line. On a positive note, the Nets are allowing opponents only an average of 9 offensive rebounds per game.
Milwaukee is shooting a below average 42.6% from the field during its first three games. That number certainly doesn't bode well for scoring a lot of points considering the slow pace at which they play.
Milwaukee is coming off a 106-87 loss at Toronto yesterday. Brooklyn sustained a 101-91 loss at Memphis on Saturday. Those two results qualify for a solid NBA totals betting angle.
Any team (Nets) with a total of 190.0 to 199.5, coming off a loss by 10 points or more, versus an opponent (Bucks) coming off a loss by 15 points or more, resulted in those games going 47-17 (73.4%) under the total during the past five seasons. The average total in those games was 196.5, and there was a combined average of 190.2 points scored per contest.
According to the NBA odds at 5Dimes, they offer the best combination of number and price for this specific wager.
NBA Pick: Under 196 at Bookmaker
[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":2882507, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,93,92,238,349], "LineTypeId":3, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]
Suns vs. Clippers 10:35 PM ET
Phoenix has won each of their previous two games since opening the season with a loss. The Clippers have won all three games to start this 2014-2015 NBA campaign. This sets up a straightforward and profitable NBA totals betting algorithm that's literally illustrated below.
Any team (Suns) with a total of 210.0 or more, coming off two or more wins in a row, versus an opponent coming off three or more wins in a row, resulted in those games going 37-13 (74%) over the total during the past five seasons. Considering that both teams were required to play some semblance of defense during their recent win streaks, and the high total posted for this contest, I'm going to go under the number for one of my NBA picks today.
NBA Pick: Under 210 at 5Dimes
[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":2882511, "sportsbooksIds":[1096,19,93,92,238,349], "LineTypeId":3, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]

Bellingham mayor hires new planning director
Mayor Kelli Linville has offered the open Planning and Community Development director job to Rick Sepler, currently director of community services for Port Townsend.
Sepler was chosen from four candidates after three days of interviews with department heads, senior staff, planning department employees and community members, the city staff announced Thursday, Oct. 9.
Since 2006 Sepler has worked with Port Townsend on development services, planning, parks and facilities, according to a Bellingham news release. Sepler also has served as a hearing examiner for the cities of Shelton, Ferndale, Hoquiam, Mount Vernon and McCleary.
He is an affiliate instructor at University of Washington's Department of Urban Design.
Sepler told the city he wanted the job because he had reached a plateau at his current job and wanted a challenge.
"Bellingham is a very special place, and the residents and businesses deserve high-caliber planning," Sepler said in Thursday's announcement. "I feel I'm in the enviable position to dive right in, immerse myself in the community and help the community achieve its goals."

Understanding trekking
It is believed in many parts of the world that the fresh, cool air coming off mountains can take off years of exhaustion from a person. It is equally true that of all the beauty and splendour in the world that of its highest mountains is incomparable. Trekking - walking in the mountains - is the perfect way to reconnect - with yourself, nature, a companion. The combination of good exercise, crystalline air, blue skies and towering snow-capped vistas, local culture and good companions is such a perfect combination of rejuvenation and adventure that people who do it once can't seem to stop!
It's very important to understand that your experience of the mountains in Europe, North America, and Australia are not a reflection of what you will experience here. On the most common trekking route, the Annapurna Circuit, for example, the highest point, which thousands of trekking tourists cross every year, is Thorong La (Pass). At 5,416 m, this is higher than the classic highest peak in Europe, Mt Blanc (4,807 m), and close to the height of the new Highest European mountain Elbrus (5,642 m). Unlike in Europe, where the tree-line and snow-line are both much lower, sometimes a couple of thousand metres, than those in Nepal, people live and walk through the Himalaya, even close to 5,000 m, raising yak and sheep, and growing crops such as potato, barley, buckwheat, and in warmer months or in greenhouses (in Tibet, especially) vegetables too. So, as long as you are fit and careful about not gaining altitude too fast, most treks that go over higher passes should be challenging, but far from crazy goals.
How to choose a trek
Classic or non-classicWhile large-scale trekking started in the 1970s in Nepal, most people tend to stick to the classic routes - the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, Everest Base Camp, the Khumbu (Everest) region. These routes are extremely well-travelled. Whether you use them or take your own tents, there are lodges (called 'teahouses') and villages all along the way here, and a core local population for whom trekkers are no surprise. The Annapurna circuit is sometimes even called the Apple Pie trail because industrious locals have put the thriving apple orchards to good use, preparing excellent baked desserts.
The non-classic routes involve going off the beaten track, whether further east to Kanchenjunga or Manaslu base camps, or west to Shey Phoksumdo National Park, with its magical Rara lake. On these trips you walk through much more remote country - the villages will by no means have tourist-standard accommodation or anything but the most basic local food, there are far fewer signs of development, and while most trekking areas in Nepal are rugged, many non-classic routes are especially wild west-looking. To trek these routes it is essential to carry in all your supplies, tents etc.
There are advantages to both kinds of treks - it depends on how far away from it all you want to get, how ready you are, and how many amenities you want to give up in exchange. It is a good rule of thumb to think about how we - and many others in the business - classify treks. We use a combination of altitude gained and ruggedness of terrain and trails to make our determination.
How hard will it be?Easy-Moderate: Up to altitudes of around 3,500 m, these usually classic treks are not extremely demanding for anyone with a reasonable/ healthy level of fitness. We've seen all age groups enjoy these treks, from children under ten, to septuagenarians.
Moderate-Difficult: Up to 4,500 m. Not all treks in this range are difficult, and there are some that go higher classified as Moderate, such as the classic Annapurna Circuit. This classification is as much to do with the negotiability of terrain by anyone reasonably competent, and the presence of relatively good, well-maintained trails.
Difficult to Strenuous: Up to 5,500 m, these treks are generally non-classic treks that take you into rougher country, terrain, trails and facilities. In addition to being fit, it is recommended that you have solid prior experience in mountain walking.
Strenuous: These are treks that go over 5,500 m and are almost exploratory in terms of the terrain and trails (or lack thereof) you have to navigate. These are only for the hardcore initiated.
Tents or teahouses The other major decision to make is whether you want to go on a tented trek or a teahouse trek. On a tented trek you do not sleep or eat in the lodges. The staff carry your food and kitchen supplies, as well as the tents you will need. Every evening they will set up camp (for a fee, included in the price quoted to you), often in some of the same villages you would ordinarily stay the night at, or at any other reasonable stop you suggest. Your food is prepared for you by the cook accompanying you, with a mixture of supplies carried in, and local produce to contribute to the economy of the village you are staying at. Your suggestions are always welcome. A toilet tent will also be pitched at every stop.
The advantage of a camping or tented trek is that you really are the master of your time and space here. If you are in a group, in particular, this can be a good way to bond with the people you're walking with. If you're solo or a couple, it is a good way to get some much-needed privacy. You can to a large extent control what you get to eat and when, or even cook, if the fancy strikes you. (This is not irrelevant - for most trekkers, the stomach is the most important organ of the body.) Tented treks epitomise all that walking in the mountains is really about - adventure, roughing it (a little!), truly getting away from it all, and being as close to nature as you can be without sleeping directly under the stars.
A teahouse or lodge trek means that you stay and eat at the lodges along the way. On the classic routes, every planned night stop is well equipped to deal with trekkers - there are numerous lodges that cater to western tourists. There are pros and cons. The beds are usually comfortable . The atmosphere can be convivial in teahouses, but in high season this can also mean real overcrowding and delays in the kitchen.
Since not everyone wants the same kind of experience while trekking, based on advice from previous clients we offer a modified and we believe more convenient version of the lodge trek. A teahouse trek organised and supported by Tin-Tin will get you a guide, porters, accommodation in a lodge with breakfast, the conservation area or 'trekking' permit, Tims and land and/ or air transportation to the start and end points of your trek. Tin-Tin costing for teahouse treks includes only breakfast; you will choose for lunch and dinner a la carte (menu) provided by the lodges, and don't need to eat a pre-ordered meal that your guide orders for you. In virtually all trekking regions with lodges you are expected to eat in the lodge you stay at. The reasoning behind this is that the beds are provided cheap, but to keep a lodge running the owners need to make additional profit. To not eat your meals at your teahouse puts the Tin-Tin guide/ sirdar with you in an awkward and financially disruptive position. Finally, a word on prices: food and drink (especially bottled drinks) cost more the higher you go. It's obvious why - it came up the same trail you did, and someone, a porter, had to carry it up for a fee. So remember that while a lodge trek might seem comparatively cheaper, you're not going to save as much if you drink Coke and beer at high altitude.When to goObviously, there are the peak months when the scenery is brilliant with clear skies and crystalline views in most parts of Nepal - Oct-Dec, and March-May. But by no means should you take these as cutoff points. First, many people love to trek in the crisp, snowy winter for the sense of adventure and really being in nature that it gives them. Second, even in the monsoon, there are routes and treks that lie in the rain shadow, such as Manang, around Jomosom, and Mustang. These are spectacular no matter what time of year you go. And finally, the bugbear of the monsoon has a worse reputation than it deserves. Yes, there are landslides and blocked highways, but that is as much a problem of infrastructure as the weather itself, and can be avoided. By a curious quirk, most of Nepal's rain tends to fall at night, which can mean incredible mountain views in the early mornings. There can be the annoyance of leeches lower down, but this is soon passed, and anyway many trekkers have reported that with a little caution it is possible to even escape the leeches. If it rains in the day, it is often just a light drizzle and your only lookout will to be a little more careful on slippery trails. Why should you consider trekking in the monsoon? The landscape will be a hundred shades of rejuvenating green, with all kinds of bright little flowers, when it clears the views are better than anything in the winter, with the contrast between subtropical greenery and snow peaks, and the trekkers you meet along the way will be very easygoing and often old Nepal hands.
WalkingThe pace of walking in the Himalayas is such that you will get unique opportunity to not just feast your eyes on the different aspects of high mountains, and wonderfully diverse landscapes, but also you will have the enviable chance to see how life is really lived in a very different part of the world than yours. The rhythms of life and the concerns, habits and beliefs of local people will be a revelation.
You don't have to be Superman to go trekking. In general you will walk 4-6 hours a day. A shorter walking time on the schedule means either that it is more tiring route or more likely that you need to stop below a certain altitude to acclimatise. A moderate degree of fitness is all that is required. When trekking with us you will not be carrying heavy loads, just an approximately TKTK rucksack with your necessities for the day. Still, it is important that you not find this a terrible burden, and that the rucksack fits you well. In addition, make sure that the boots you walk in are broken in; new boots on a trek can cause nightmarish blisters and sores, and twisted ankles. f you feel you might not be up to the mark, simply start walking 15-30 minutes more everyday a month before you leave for your trek. Take the stairs more often and when you have the time and energy just go for a walk. On balance you should expect that you will exert yourself, though never to the point of exhaustion or collapse. Rather you will feel deliciously tired and welcome going to bed by 8 or 9PM.
FoodAll water and vegetables used in preparing your meals are sterilised with iodine, and 100% safe to drink and eat. If you have any specific requests, do ask us before we leave for the trip, or even on the way, and we will do our best to meet your requirements. In any case, the amount of spice and oil in your meal is easily controlled to suit your taste. Note that on teahouse or lodge treks organised by us, the only organised meal is breakfast. Lunch and dinner is your choice and responsibility. Regardless of what kind of trek you are doing, do take along your own personal supply of dry food such as chocolates, dry fruits and nuts, trail mix, biscuits etc. This way you never have to go hungry, and the occasional bit of chocolate or handful of almonds can make all the difference when you're tired or when you've simply lost your appetite for food o
Notes about mealtime We request you to please not be concerned, offended, or uncomfortable if you find at mealtime that none of the staff are eating with you. In Nepali culture it is perfectly acceptable to take your meal separately or with your own smaller group. One of the reasons this happens a lot on treks is that the food cooked for you is simply not what the staff are used to - they prefer their food with a lot more chilli and sometimes different spices. Another reason is to give downtime to both sides, a chance to let loose and speak your own language, or simply not feel obliged to make conversation.
For breakfast the porters eat dry beaten rice, locally called chiura, with tea. At lunch they a large meal with rice, dal (lentil soup), and vegetables. You might be amused at how much they eat, and at how much chilli they consume - for a one week trek with six-eight staff, the kitchen typically carries an entire kilo of green chilli. Dinner is more of the same, or a hearty noodle soup called thukpa.
Part of the experience we help you have is that of real camping. We do not, therefore, insist that our porters carry around heavy tables and chairs unless clients specifically ask for them. Rather, we find that passengers who travel with us are happy to eat in a manner more suited to traditional camping and closer to Nepali habits: at mealtimes the kitchen staff will lay out a mattress covered with a clean cotton 'tablecloth'. You will have your candlelight together sitting around the mattress.
The role of the field staff.Guide: This is a mountain guide, licensed by the Ministry of Tourism. Their expertise will have to do with the trails, weather conditions, high altitude, the mountains around, respect for local traditions and rituals. They will also have the educated Nepali's knowledge of the different kinds of ethnicities along the trail. But they are not - and this point is very important - cultural guides. They generally won't be able to tell you in great detail about religion, people, habits, development, history etc. If you anticipate wanting to know a lot more about the people and places you see, we suggest you take along a cultural guide as part of a supplement. Climbing Guide: On 'trekking peak' expeditions the person who will help you navigate the mountain, ropes etc. Sirdar: The boss. Responsible for the running of your entire trek, supervision of the team of staff etc. Cook: There's a reason for the pre-occupation with meals here - one, trekking is really hungry work, two, getting used to a new kind of cooking can take more time and energy than some people have, and three, the last thing you want is to get sick on a trek. This is why our cooks are highly experienced and knowledgeable about cooking styles and hygiene. They make sure that you get the freshest, cleanest, and most appetising food possible with tasty Nepali, Tibetan, and continental meals. Sherpa: The person responsible for the equipment, such as tents etc, also acts as a night guard and in case of sickness or accident, carries the client/ staff member to the nearest place where medical help is available. Kitchen boys: They assist the cook in turning out all the delicacies, serve the tea and meals, and do the washing up. Porters: Porters with Tin-Tin are well taken care of. They carry not more than 25 kg each (equipment, tents, kitchen supplies, your belongings etc). For porters - who tend to be the least privileged of all trekking staff - are often ignored and unaware of the dangers of high altitude, frostbite etc, our agency provides its porters appropriate clothes, shoes, sunglasses etc.
All our Nepali trekking staff are covered by agency-paid medical and health insurance.
Equipment list for a trekClothing Down or fibre-filled jacketFleece jacket or sweater Rain jacket or ponchoHiking pants - light, quick drying fabric in dark colours are bestZip-off shorts for men - women are advised against wearing shortsSkirts for women - are very practical on the trailT-shirts, preferably quick drying, possibly thermal tops for colder treksThermal underwear for colder treksUnderwearSocks, preferably cotton-mix sports socks rather than heavy wool which dries slowerSun hatWarm hatGloves/ mittensSwimsuit, if you want to try out a hot spring along the wayBootsFlip-flops
Ideally, you should budget, say, one item of clothing on your body, one in reserve, and one drying - so, say, three T-shirts should be enough. However, everyone's individual needs are different, and while you won't need as much underwear as you usually do, extra socks can be a lifesaver.

LIfe and an Eclipse
LIfe and Eclipses
J-9 at achangintimes.com
writes upon seeing the lunar eclipse November 9, 2003 that:
"I guess I have the 'I'll never grow up' Peter Pan thing going, but I love it, and I hope it never leaves me. So, last night, while people around the world were still busy killing themselves off, I took a time out to think about life, and the beauty of it all. It's a gift. Open it, say thank you, and enjoy it. Life's a one time opportunity."

The cookout included hamburgers, grilled chicken, hotdogs, potato and coleslaw salads. Members of the foundation also gave out free Army T-shirts and hats.
Mule, the Army team mascot, with members of the West Point Army Spirit Band, made a surprise visit and performed for the wounded Soldiers.
Following the party, everyone joined the more than 64,000 Army and Aggie fans inside the Alamodome to watch the game. This was the largest crowd to witness a regular season college football game at the Alamodome,and the eighth largest football crowd all-time in Alamodome history.
Texas A&M took a 7-0 lead. The game, which featured three ties, ended with the Aggies winning by five points, 29-24. The end came when Texas A&M's defense stopped Tony Moore on a third-and-goal play with nine seconds remaining. Prior to the game, more than 600 U.S. Military Academy Cadets, 200 III Corp Soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, and 1,500 Texas A&M University cadets participated in a march through San Antonio.
Waving "Go Army cards," students attending medical training at Fort Sam Houston root for their team at the Army vs. Texas A&M football game Saturday at the Alamodome. At center are Col. John Cook, commander, 32nd Medical Brigade, and Lt. Col. Brian Kueter, 232nd Medical Battalion commander.
Half-time entertainment included the U.S. Army Military Academy Band and the Texas A&M University band. Gen. Richard Cody, vice chief of staff of the Army, read the oath of enlistment to more than 20 future Soldiers on the field. He took time out to stop by the stands to visit with the wounded Soldiers from BAMC who were attending the game. Cody also visited BAMC earlier in the day to present Purple Heart medals to wounded Soldiers and visit Soldiers on the wards. "Outstanding football game. All the Soldiers really enjoyed themselves and the game. Can't wait till the next one comes around," said Sgt. 1st Class Stephen Welch from the 32nd Medical Brigade. Three hundred initial entry students from Fort Sam Houston attending medical training with the 32nd Medical Brigade attended the game courtesy of West Point.

So I look at the date on the last post like this and just wade through my social media posts to put down anything of any particular note here, like a searchable back up, similar to what Scobletrousers talks about here.
The idea of an independent web is becoming increasingly vital I think, it takes effort, and does not come naturally to most. This blog is not currently self-hosted, but should be and I plan on making it so as soon as I can justify the cost. I chose WordPress for this because I get the impression it is portable as and when one is ready.
The recent controversy over the experiments Facebook was doing with peoples streams is a great example of why indieweb is so important. I have always found Facebook to be emotionally manipulative, like a bad Spielberg film. It's taken some time, self-confidence building and some shedding of giving a **** for me to start using it in a way that is useful and constructive, and I use it because so many people I know do and I would lose contact with them if I didn't. This does sound bizarre when you write it down, but it's as true for many other people as it is for me.
It was always a platform designed for young students to show off, that is what it is based on.
Here's some Robert Breer.
It goes Areer, Breer, Creer, Dreer, Ereer, Freer, then me, Greer.
Mr Breer came to do a talk at my college when I was a student it's not difficult to see the influence of his thinking on things like the Animated Journal.
It's a beautiful summer (so far), we bought a new tent and spent a night in the garden. Adventures soon hopefully.
I'm still loving Photo Blender.
Eli Wallach died. Remembering this as cinema.
My friend Hugh Cowling (awesome), who worked on the forthcoming Poets of the Sommes animations, told me about this beautiful little piece of stop frame.
I share a lot of stuff like this on my Tumblr, it is the form of social media internet I feel most comfortable with, most unselfconscious, if you like, I've been on there since early 2008, and I don't think there's been many days since I haven't reblogged something.
This is taking a lot longer than I expected, I should do these more often so they're not so rambly.
I previously mentioned my disappointment at the recent Godzilla 2014, so I recently caught up with Pacific Rim, which, although not exactly Citizen Kane, is great fun, it's pitched perfectly, has a very valid message for the kids, is inclusive and has international characters working together. I found myself laughing and clapping my hands several times. That someone loves those kaiju and the rest of humanity so much, they would make such a film for the rest of us is heart warming.
Here is a quote from the director Guillermo Del Toro (culled from Wikipedia so it must be completely accurate) which illustrates just one simple reason why it's a superior product to G14.
I don't want people being crushed. I want the joy that I used to get seeing Godzilla toss a tank without having to think there are guys in the tank… What I think is you could do nothing but echo the moment you're in. There is a global anxiety about how fragile the status quo is and the safety of citizens, but in my mind—honestly—this film is in another realm. There is no correlation to the real world. There is no fear of a copycat kaiju attack because a kaiju saw it on the news and said, 'I'm going to destroy Seattle.' In my case, I'm picking up a tradition. One that started right after World War II and was a coping mechanism, in a way, for Japan to heal the wounds of that war. And it's integral for a kaiju to rampage in the city.
I think they got the go ahead to make some more, which is great news. Apparently this is unusual because it didn't do so well in the States but did well elsewhere, and they don't usually commission a sequel in such circumstances.
Had a go on this thing.
Was lucky to see some immersive theater last week. It was very intense, unlike anything I have experienced. Get into that if you're wondering what to do with yourself, it's actually ground breaking. Not sure there can be a lot of money in it though.
OK, I've spent twice as long on this as I was expecting. If you actually read this and liked it do something to let me know what you liked. If you didn't like it, I don't care, I'm going to keep doing it anyway.
Hit send.
