text: Blade Runner is a great movie. Nothing about the film feels dated; for the most part the special effects still look incredible. In terms of thematic elements, Blade Runner still eerily depicts a world where society has let technology take precedent over morality and humanity itself. We see this not only in the pollution choked cityscape of a future L.A., but also in the degraded humanity of Rick Deckard. Yet for all its great aspects there are major flaws that keep Blade Runner from being the movie it could have been. Firstly, it is a very slow moving film. There are several scenes that just seem to go on and on with very little of substance/importance happening. All of the symbolic references (ex: the eyes) had me trying to comprehend/gather meaning from every single little detail (relevant or not); which was distracting at times. The dialog could feel a bit dull, and I had a hard time identifying an emotional connection with any of the characters. We obliviously are not supposed to connect to Deckard at the beginning, but even at the end, when he regains his humanity I had a hard time developing a real connection. I understand that Deckard is supposed to be a bit wooden at first so the audience sees his transformation, but his monotone narration needed a little voice inflection in order for me to connect with him on some level. In terms of the Replicants I had a really hard time developing an emotional connection with any of them, since, from the beginning of the movie we are told (a) they have killed a lot of innocent people and (b) they are going to die very soon. There are attempts to get the audience to empathize with their struggle to prolong life, and understand their motives; however, tricking/using innocent humans and then killing their creator did not make me emphatic/sympathetic.If I was able to grow an attachment to any of the Replicants it would be their leader Roy Batty. At the end of the movie Roy shows he has some humanity by showing grief and rage over the death of his lover and then by saving Deckard. These things endeared me to him more than the others, but not enough to really care that he died (especially since he was already at death's doorstep).

CINCINNATI (AP) – An Ohio couple who authorities say returned their 9-year-old adopted son to the county after raising him since infancy have been charged with abandoning the child.
Cleveland and Lisa Cox of Liberty Township, north of Cincinnati, were each indicted Wednesday on a misdemeanor count of nonsupport of dependents. The charge accuses them of recklessly abandoning or failing to provide adequate support for the boy they turned over to Butler County Children Services last month.
County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said Thursday that he doesn't usually seek indictments in misdemeanor cases but views this as "reckless" abandonment.
"When you are the parent and you recklessly abandon a child or children, there are criminal consequences," Gmoser said. "These children don't have a return-to-sender stamp emblazoned on their forehead."
Messages left Thursday at the couple's home in Butler County were not immediately returned. It was unclear if they had been served an arrest warrant issued Wednesday.
Children Services and the county sheriff's office also didn't return messages Thursday.
Adolf Olivas, an attorney appointed by the court to protect the child's legal interests, told the Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News that the parents said the boy has aggressive behaviors and would not agree to get help.
The child is hurt and confused and doesn't understand what is happening, Olivas said.
"If your 9-year-old needs help, you get him help," Olivas told the newspaper. "It is not a question of a 9-year-old wanting it or not."
Olivas had no additional comment Thursday.
The Coxes could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the first-degree misdemeanor.
"This is not about somebody who can't pay to support the child," the prosecutor said.
The median annual income in the region where the parents live is more than $100,000, and the median home value is more than $280,000, according to census data.
"These are the only parents he has ever known, Gmoser said. "What do you think happens at night when he goes to sleep and doesn't have his brothers around or someone to talk to he has known for nine years?"
Gmoser confirmed the Coxes have other children.
Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, said such cases are rare.
A Tennessee woman who ended her adoption of a 7-year-old Russian boy by putting him on a plane to Moscow by himself in 2010 lost her bid this year to keep from paying $150,000 in child support. Criminal charges were not filed against the woman, but the Seattle-based adoption agency sued her for support. She had sent a note with the boy saying he had violent behavior problems and she no longer wanted to be his mother.

The Importance of Local SEO For Local businesses
If you own a business in Groton, MA, SEO services are essential for your success. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of providing engaging content that entice internet users to choose your website, and therefore your business. Search engines trigger web-crawlers every time you add new content to your website. The crawlers are programed to look for specific keywords or keyword strings. Companies like Google and Bing send these crawlers out to index your keywords so that when a person searches online, they get a list of potential sites in relation to their search. The higher you rank on those searches the better chance you have of a potential customer clicking on your site. Without new content to trigger the indexing process, your website will drop in result ranks. To stay on the first page, you need to treat your website like a living thing, nurturing it as your business grows.
Google Search Results are How People Find Businesses
The number of consumers who use a mobile device to find a business is on the rise. Over 90% of consumers use their tablets or smartphones to perform searches when they are on the go. Today, Google search results are how people find you. At uLocally, one of the first things we tell our clients is that they need to register with Google My Business if they haven't already done so. Once confirmed, your business will appear in Google Maps which will make it easier for customers to find you. The benefit of this step is that it helps with your organic SEO, helps customers find you, and lets you control the relevant information that you want displayed making your company findable by anyone on the internet. For local small business owners, this will drive visitors to your website and through your doors which results in higher sales and bigger profits.
Grow Your Revenue and Profit Through SEO
You can grow your revenue through SEO in Groton, MA. SEO is an organic method of ensuring your business listing stays in the top search engine result rankings of the major search engines. As you grow, so should your SEO. It is important to feed SEO content to your site, just as you'd feed a growing organism. If you stop feeding it, it stops growing. Likewise, if you stop adding SEO-rich content to your site, the web crawlers won't notice it, thus moving you farther down the results page. Most consumers look no further than page 2 or 3 when they are searching for something. If you are low in the page ranks, you are likely to not get found. Likewise, the click through rate from a search to your website increases the higher up you are in the result. When a customer clicks on your website, your conversion rate increases; therefore, growing your sales and profit margin. Improving your SEO is one of the best decisions you can make to grow your business and ROI.
uLocally is The Best SEO Company
Internet marketing is constantly evolving and uLocally is the best SEO company in the Groton, MA area to keep your site up to date.

When in the APEX builder, keep an eye out for this region on the right hand side - if you haven't heard about a patch through the copious amounts of blogs or social media, then this is on place you might see the prompt.
As described on the APEX download page, you can either download the entire product; for English only; or if you're already on 4.2.0, you can download the 66mb patch set from My Oracle Support - patch #14732511
The patch set notes can be found here, or as part of your download.
My first step to upgrade the instance on my Windows 7 laptop was to terminate APEX Listener with Ctrl-C
Now open a command prompt, change current folder to where the patch is, connected to SQL*Plus and ran the install script
cd \apex4.2\patch
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys as sysdba
Ten minutes later, I found no errors in the apxpatch.log although the log didn't capture the final output I saw in the command display.
It finished in the middle of
Application Express 4.2.1 patch
... lots of stuff
... Sample Access Control: Application ID 7600
... some more stuff
......region template 5047053830717713422
-- no more logs!
I opened f7600.sql, found the exact location but saw no reason why the log would stop.
Moving on, it came to updating the images directory when using Oracle APEX Listener, and for me it got a little obscure.
Ever since I can remember, this step involved copying the images folder to where the relevant web server sourced the documents, but the current documentation suggests creating a web archive.
If you are using the Oracle Application Express Listener, you need to create a Web Archive for Oracle Application Express imagesI decided not to do this in my circumstance - stand alone APEX listener, with no WLS/Glassfish because the documentation for this option didn't require it.
Then dragged /images from the patch folder to my apex4.2 directory.
Now time to restart the APEX Listener using my batch file on the desktop, which runs
cd c:\apex_listener2\
java -jar apex.war standalone --apex-images \apex4.2\images
I also checked my older post regarding APEX 4.1 upgrade to see if there was something I missed.
Opening the localhost:8080/i/apex_version.txt showed the patched version, so no harm done?
Take care when importing applications from 4.2 to 4.2.1 - you will need to re-apply the theme (see patch notes)
It will also pay to read notes regarding jQuery Mobile 1.2.0, which is part of this patch - there are some interesting widgets to play with.
Now I very much look forward to the new year, upgrading my current client from 4.1 so we can start a project building an application for a tablet.

I don't really have much of a comment (not that that's ever stopped me before, of course)--just wanted to send ginormous non-ouchy hugs to both you and Mom. The world is an infinitely better place for having such astounding women like the two of you in it. {{♥}}
- Friday, 21 January, 2011
Oh wow, that is (again) written brilliantly. And I admire both of you! And I think your mum is so brave for taking this big step and going ahead with the prevantative surgery.
A question I have asked myself a lot though: What would the situation be the other way round? When your mum has had breast-cancer and you are like 20? You immeadiatly see your breasts in a different light...Would preventative surgery be like a good solution here?
Anyways, wish you both all the best and thanks for sharing so much with us! xx - Friday, 21 January, 2011

just a side observation - those maternity type bras - the ones women don't like because of how they look on the washing line...
we men call them "front opening bras"
whereas you women call them "front fastening bras".
that has always made me smile more than Katie sodding Price. - Friday, 21 January, 2011
Bringing the potential danger lurking beneath our bras to the attention of young women is no bad thing, in my book. Your situation has made me vigilant about checking my chest, and as such, if the bullshit did come my way, the early detection through checking for lumps may mean that I actually get to hang on to them longer.
See, every cloud and all that :o)
All the best for wonderful you and your wonderful mum.

Doesn't really matter what words I string together here they cannot ever say what I want them to, but I'll try.
Thank you. Thank you for standing up and for speaking out about something which is often so hidden - the more emotional side of the bullshit.
Massive amounts of respect and good wishes to you and your Mum. - Friday, 21 January, 2011
- Gráinne said...
There's nothing much I can add either except to send you more hugs and best wishes to you and your mum. Working in a hospital made me more conscious of the dangers lurking under my top but you were the one who hammered it home that it can happen to any of us. Love you and so thankful for all you do. I'm presuming your mum is equally fabulous! xxx

All good wishes to you and your mum - you are both very brave. I hope all goes well and you can keep from getting too far down.

- Apple Watch and Apple Pencil devices that require replacement parts are not included in the Apple Certified Refurbished Program.
- is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection.
- is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes).
- includes either the Operating System originally shipped with the unit or, in some cases, a more recent version.
- is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being added to sellable refurbished stock.
Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures.
(2) What should I expect when I purchase an Apple Certified Refurbished Product?
- Substantial savings
- A fully functional unit with complete documentation
- The assurance that the unit meets Apple's premiere quality standards, and that its defective components have been replaced by genuine Apple components

WATCH: Workers' comp fraud caught on tape
TAMPA (FOX 13) - People faking an injury to get a big payout from workers' compensation: It's a problem you could be paying for.
Several bills addressing changes to Florida's workers' compensation system were filed this legislative session as businesses here face a nearly 15-percent rate increase, and fraud could play a role in rates rising over time.
In one example of workers' comp fraud out of Fort Lauderdale, a woman picked up a sprinkler head after it had fallen on her desk, then hit herself in the head with it to stage an on-the-job injury.
Her employer's insurance company got suspicious and referred the incident to Florida's Division of Investigative and Forensic Services. Detectives requested security cam footage and were able to prove she staged the whole thing.
VIDEO: Watch the raw footage
The employee, Sheyla Veronica White, was convicted for workers' compensation insurance fraud -- a third-degree felony -- and sentenced to 18 months of probation.
She didn't have to pay any restitution because they caught the claim before any benefits went out to her.
We watched the video with Lt. Doreen Rivera, in the Florida Dept. of Financial Services' Fraud Division. She says faking injuries is common way of trying to cheat the system. But "claim fraud" is only the tip of the iceberg.
When it comes to abusing workers' comp, many times it's not the employees but the businesses bilking the system by lying about how many people they employ, and how risky the work is, to avoid buying the proper level of insurance.
"Not having it is a felony and not having it is serious. And why is it serious? Because if a worker gets injured on the job and there's no coverage, they're going to have to cover their own medical costs and those medical bills can, you know, be staggering," Lt. Rivera explained, adding her department has found the major abusers to be in the construction industry.
She says she's seeing a new scheme trending.
"It's well identified down south and now it's emerging here. And that is basically when a business is created for the purposes for taking out a minimal workers' comp policy."
According to Lt. Rivera, contractors are paying pay a fee to these so-called shell companies to use their workers comp and not purchase their own, meaning a lot of people could be hidden under a policy designed for a few -- defrauding the insurance company.
"When they're defrauded, eventually that cost is going to trickle to higher premiums to businesses and trickle down to consumers as well."
Whether it's the employee or the business committing workers' comp fraud, authorities warn that the person getting hit with higher costs is you.

"The sodomites are being used in an attempt to overthrow God's moral law in hopes of upending the United States Constitution. They are doing this by playing the victims when they are the perpetrators. Inadvertently or purposefully they are being used as a political battering ram to make way for foreign law and its implementation through totalitarian methods. There is no question about it."
Not only do we have the radical Islamists crying that they are victims of "Islamophobia," but are now going so far as to pin on anyone that does not accept their "doctrine of devils" the label of "haters." (1 Timothy 4:1)
Where have Islamists learned these systematic methodologies and lessons?
We have even found that recently the radical Muslims who have been taking lessons from their predecessors, the sodomites, have taken it a step further. The radical Muslims have now been exposed for creating their own self-inflicted "Hate crimes."
Pamela Geller recently quoted from Patrick Poole,
A vandalism attack on the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno on Christmas Day was immediately branded by Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer as a "hate crime," and the "Islamophobia" grievance industry began to gear up in response. Now that a suspect has been arrested, the narrative is quickly collapsing. This video report by KSEE24 describes the damage done to the mosque:
Seven windows were broken and bleach was poured on an American Flag inside of the center. ]But police announced today that the suspect arrested in the attack is 28-year-old Asif Mohammad Khan, who, according to news reports, is a Muslim who used to attend the mosque and did the attack in response to bullying by some in the mosque.
In response, Dyer has quickly had to walk back his knee-jerk "hate crime" talk.
According to the Associated Press:
In the search for a suspect, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer had said that the broken windows and bleach poured on an American flag inside the Islamic center appeared to be a hate crime. On Saturday, Dyer said that investigators interviewed Khan, and their theory has changed. "It was obviously not as we thought," said Dyer, adding that police will let FBI agents decide whether hate-crime charges are warranted.
Khan confessed, telling officers he was upset with people at the Islamic center for talking down or bullying him, Dyer said.
Remarkably, a member of Khan's family was allowed to speak at the police news conference to explain his supposed mental illness.
Islamists have learned well from the sodomites.
The American people have, through "tolerance" and "apathy," allowed God's moral law to be lowered and by this they have dimmed the light by which these criminals are to perceive their own guilt (Exodus 20, 1 Timothy1:8-9). By allotting these criminals a pass (because some fell for the deceptive lie that they could not help themselves (Romans 6)), they then want to claim they are exempt from the laws of our Republic, which they are not!
Therefore, the American people have helped open the door to empower these criminals to attack anyone that does not become an ally or an accomplice to commit crimes against nature and against nature's God (Romans 1:24). This is exactly what the enemies of America have taken notice of.
Bigotry in Reverse!
First, the radical sodomites labeled the righteous as "haters." Then, when the people were awakening to the fact that they were the one's acting out of hate, they then re-labeled their righteous opposition as "homophobic." Of course, when that was getting worn out, they began to go to the extreme by creating their own "hate crimes," inflicting crimes upon themselves. They did this in hopes that someone would believe that they were the victims. Americans have now learned that the opposite is true.
The sodomites hold the shield while perpetuating the crime with the spear!
Kevin Jennings, the forward writer for a book called Queering Elementary Education and founder of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), has admitted that "bullying" is nothing more than the "affirmation (normalizing) of the gay lifestyle in our education system."
What the Socialist Media is afraid of…
I have warned America over and over that the radical sodomites are being used as a political battering ram to upend the Constitution of the United States.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adam
"Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of FREE governments." - Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence
Oh, that Americans would take heed to God's Words so that they would not have to suffer the abuses that are taking place in America today.
Close behind the sodomites are the Muslims that are attempting to take advantage of the lessons that the sodomites are teaching.
The lessons that these two groups of criminals now need to be taught is that the American people will no longer concede, tolerate or succumb to their crimes (Jeremiah 6:16)!

(CNN) -- The act of watering the ground after applying pesticide may seem innocuous, but it was enough to kill four children in Texas.
One was a high school senior on the brink of graduation. The other three were her little brothers; the youngest was 7 years old.
On Tuesday, Amarillo police explained what went wrong: Some of the family members started feeling sick Monday after the pesticide was applied under their mobile home. So one of the residents tried to dilute it with water.
It was fatal mistake.
How exactly did the children die?
After someone applied the pesticide -- aluminum phosphide -- under the mobile home, a family member tried to wash it away, said Capt. Larry Davis of the Amarillo Fire Department.
But aluminum phosphide mixed with water creates toxic phosphine gas, which can cause excess fluid in the lungs and respiratory failure.
There were 10 people inside the mobile home at the time, Davis said. Emergency crews arrived at the home just after 5 a.m. Monday after receiving a call that people there were sick.
In addition to the four children killed, five other people from inside the home were hospitalized.
Who were the victims?
Family friend Terry Rodriguez identified the four siblings as 17-year-old Yasmeen Balderas and her younger brothers Johnny, Josue and Felipe Balderas.
"Yasmeen was a senior at Palo Duro HS. She was a quiet simple girl, looking forward to graduation," Rodriguez wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help the family.
"Josue wanted to be a priest and was an alter server at St Lawrence. He was a gentle soul, slow to anger and quick to provide comfort," Rodriguez wrote.
"Johnny was a comic. So smart and so aware of his strengths and weaknesses. He was the first to laugh at himself and never met a stranger who wasn't just a friend in the making."
Felipe "was everyone's friend," Rodriguez said.
Who is responsible?
The Amarillo Police Department is investigating and will turn over its findings to the local district attorney's office to see whether any criminal charges should be filed, Officer Jeb Hilton said.
But so far, this appears to be a case of accidental poisoning, Davis said.
He said the man who lives at the mobile home and who applied the aluminum phosphide on the ground got the pesticide from a friend.
Aluminum phosphide is used to kill insects and burrowing rodents, especially in grain stores. But it can be deadly to humans when mixed with water.
The Environmental Protection Agency lists aluminum phosphide in "Toxicity Category I" -- the most toxic category. Specifically, the EPA points to the "acute effects via the inhalation route."
How common are pesticide deaths?
An estimated 1 million to 5 million cases of pesticide poisoning occur every year, "resulting in several thousand fatalities among agricultural workers," the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said.
"Most of these poisonings occur in the developing world where safe health standards can be inadequate or non-existent," the FAO said.
But pesticide deaths have also happened in developed countries. Last year, an 8-month-old Canadian girl died after her mother used phosphine tablets as a pesticide in their home, CNN partner CBC reported.
Pesticides are also a very common method of suicide, especially in low-income, agricultural parts of the world, according to a World Health Organization report.
"In attempted suicide, which is considerably more frequent than completed suicide, pesticide poisoning results in temporary or permanent disability," the WHO said.
What precautions should you take with pesticides?
In addition to following the label's instructions exactly, the National Pesticide Information Center recommends:
-- Mixing pesticides outside or in well-ventilated areas
-- Making sure children and pets are away from the area where you're mixing and applying pesticides
-- Removing personal items, such as toys, clothing, or tools from the spray area to avoid contamination
-- Mixing only what you need immediately to avoid storing or disposing of excess pesticide
-- Having a plan in case of a pesticide spill. Have paper towels, sawdust or cat litter, garbage bags and non-absorbent gloves nearby to contain the spill. "Avoid using excessive amounts of water, as this may only spread the pesticide and could be harmful to the environment."
Have there been other high-profile pesticide cases?
Yes. The family of 10-year-old Peyton McCaughey sued the pest control company Terminix after doctors said that Peyton was suffering from severe brain damage caused by exposure to sulfuryl fluoride, a pesticide used to fumigate his home.
"His arms would fly around. They had to pad the bed. His head was going back and forth, non-stop," Peyton's mother said.
In a separate case, Terminix agreed to pay $10 million for illegally using a pesticide containing a toxic chemical in the US Virgin Islands, federal officials said.
The plea deal came more than a year after a Delaware family of four vacationing in the US Virgin Islands fell seriously ill when the unit below their villa was fumigated.

Not cooking, but...
I'm completely hooked on crochet. This is what I've done so far - it's all very amateurish, but it's so much fun and I bet Titus will have a whole pastry shop when he's big enough to appriciate it. (I plan to make some veggies and fruits, too. Eventually.)
So far - a frosted donut, a macaron (that's the pink in the back), chocolate balls, a Swedish "dammsugare"-pastry (that's the green one), a fairly bad cinnamon roll, a chocolate "biskvi" and an oreo.

Hi Anne
I share your passion for food and for items which resemble food even! (I am a sucker for re-ment mini-foods...)
Anyway, my name is Eva and my husband is Swedish (we lived in Sweden for a few years but I never adapted so we're back in the UK) and I always wanted to comment on the subject of cream with a Swede who knew their foods-stuffs.
For those of you who dont know this, Sweden has a paranormal array of diary. All sorts of different milky stuff in pots and tetrapacks, ranging from the foul fil (a sour, toe-curling sour watery cross between yogurt and cultivated milk) to pleasant things such as kesella (something that to be quite honest, I havent got a clue what it is).
In any case, they are obssessed with cream. They do not have celebration cakes like normal people do, meaning 60% cake and 40% filling and icing, their celebration cakes are 10% cake, 80% whipped cream and 10% icing or fruit on top.
And if you can think about adding cream to anything at all, they thought about it first and they are getting about as I write, making, buying, storing, whipping and/or eating cream.
They have cream with all sorts of different fat percentage contents and they pack it and bran it for specific uses like cooking, adding to coffee, cakes, desserts, you name it.
Now, what I really wanted to say is that funnily enough, they lack double cream. (And no, their 40% cream just is not the same -I repeat: not the same. Never will be, so I hope it is not trying). And they of course lack extra thick double cream. Let alone clotted cream.
That has always puzzled me. 9 million people obsessed with cream and no double cream... Now, that is a mystery to me!

Plot size: 1000 square meters
Built-up area: 550 square meters
Design& build: 2009-2011
Program: single family house
Plot size: 1000 square meters
House area: 550 square meters
Planning and construction: 2008 – 2011
Design: Pitsou Kedem – Architects
Design team: Pitsou Kedem, Irene Goldberg, Hagar Tzvi.
A private residence built in the center of a historic avenue and at the very heart of Haifa's French Carmel neighborhood.
The avenue is studded with a number of residences designed in the Bauhaus style. The Bauhaus style gained its hold in Israel in the wake of international styling trends and is a ornament free design style, both simple and down to earth. The style celebrated the aesthetics of the machine and was characterized by uniformity of color and by unassuming and simple finishes and facades. The style faithfully represented the spirit of the age and the location. This project, designed decades later, creates a line that connects contemporary styling with the spirit of that bygone era.
The project emphasizes and sharpens the differences between apparently similar design styles of contemporary minimalism influenced by Japan and the austere moderation of the modernism that characterized the end of the 1950's. Both of these paradigms translate into a way of life, to the Israeli environment and climate. The sophistication and the minimalism that existed at the heyday of the Bauhaus period have been translated, in this latest reincarnation, into a spacial purity and prestigious restraint. In his design, the architect has expressed his own, localized interpretation for free planning in which there is a spacial continuity achieved through light, appearance and movement and the placement of secondary spaces around one, large and open central space. The architect has succeeded in creating the experience of continuous, intimate and defined spaces with different levels of symbiotic, mutual interaction with the central space and yet without detracting from the overall understanding of the structure. Despite the intensification of the residences central space which finds expression in a double sized open space reaching the entire height of the building with one completely transparent façade facing the direction of the courtyard, through the use of controlled and restrained formality and the use of materials with no external facings, the designer has succeeded in showing his belief that it is possible to create a residential space of quality and timelessness.
In an attempt to connect with the historic avenue and the houses that have inhabited it since the 1950's, the architect has paid great attention to homes front facing façade. The front of the building is almost anonymous, for the most part, a closed element, free of unnecessary ornamentation and one that combines a monochromatic color scheme based on the grays and whites that characterized that same era. Only the floating upper roof hints at a harmony with contemporary design. There is a sense of acceptance of the avenues importance and an attempt to assimilate into its, fragile and gentle structure and in no way try to force contemporary architecture on the surrounding environment. Only the floating mass of the roof hints that, despite the desire to be part of the avenues context and the spirit of that historical period, it is clear to the observer that here we have a bold attempt to create an architectural language that leaves a clear signature and the fingerprint of the designer.
The home was, as said, designed around a wide, high public space that constitutes the connecting point and provides a view of all of the homes different wings as well as to the central courtyard and the pool. In order to further strengthen the impact of the central space it has been coated with exposed concrete panels and a large library on the wall as a central motif. A large, ribbon window allows light to enter deep into the space, creating movement and dynamism on the central wall. The architect has covered all of the structures spaces with an expansive roof which appears to be suspended, weightless in the air and floating effortlessly with no apparent means of support. The roof frames and consolidates the various parts of the structure with the apparent dissociation between the roof and the building creating an impressive, formal dialogue.
Movement within the house is accompanied by different views of the outside environment; exposed and open areas and other areas that are framed and focused on a specific view that was designed specifically for that area. The underlying concept of the homes design is one of quiet and formal restraint; the home is a place of tranquility and calm where the minimalistic details, the clean language and the meaning, separate the residents from the world outside. The architecture and the interior design combine a climatic relationship with light and air, an expression of the homes functionality and the uniform design lines both internal and external.
The materials and the colors used for both the interior and the exterior range from white to gray combined with wooden strips. The simple, clean shapes and the light play a central role in the interior design. Shade and light create ever changing performances of shapes and movement, "playing" on the walls, the ceilings and the floors of the building throughout the day. The combination of the geometric light shows against the horizontal and vertical surfaces, made from many different materials, creates a unique atmosphere in the internal spaces and the house's exterior that make a powerful statement of uniformity and calmness. During the day, natural light entering the residence and its movement creates absorbing light shows. At night, when darkness falls, artificial light, and especially the light seeping out from the pool, create within the structures spaces a totally different atmosphere, one that is almost mystical and magical. The design of the courtyard is characterized by the same restraint of form with the choice of trees and their placement also communicates with the avenue and the surrounding environment. And so, despite the fact that different worlds and different eras exist in the space between the historical Bauhaus of the avenue and that of this modern and minimalistic home, there still exists a relationship between them, a feeling that one is not strange to the other.

I would be remiss if I didn't follow up my previous post about the book Creating an Orange Utopia: Eliza Lovell Tibbets and the Birth of California's Citrus Industry by Patricia Ortlieb and Peter Economy, published in September 2011. Patricia, my step mother-in-law, went to Washington, D.C. late last year for the de Pizan Honors event at the National Women's History Museum, and met actress Meryl Streep. After talking to her, Patricia (resplendent in her orange-colored scarf), presented the actress with a copy of her book. My imagination went into overdrive as soon as I saw this photo. I could easily imagine Creating an Orange Utopia as a movie, in which Meryl Streep would play the woman who first introduced the navel orange tree to Riverside, spawning Southern California's lucrative citrus industry, Eliza Lovell Tibbets. Perhaps Meryl Streep--or some other gutsy woman--could also help direct the film. Eliza Tibbets was also an active abolitionist, spiritualist, and suffragist. We need to hear more stories about women pioneers who made important contributions! This would be an opportunity for film makers to depict the story of a daring visionary who changed the course of Southern California's history, transforming it into a very wealthy place. It seems ripe with possibilities to me.

Nowhere to Hide
by Louise Lyndon
Forty years ago the
Australian rural town of Burrawang Bend was the scene of a brutal murder, and
the townspeople are still calling for justice. Marlee Moore, the suspect's and
victim's granddaughter, is fighting to clear her grandfather's name. And no one
is going to stand in her way. But when things take a dangerous and deadly turn,
Marlee must turn to the one man she was determined to run out of town.
Devon Reilly,
investigative journalist for his hit TV show, Justice Served, is in Burrawang
Bend to solve the forty-year-old cold case murder. But, he didn't bargain on
Marlee keeping him from investigating the case and he soon questions where her
loyalties lie. With the living? Or with the dead? But when Marlee and her son's
life are put in danger, Devon knows he is the only man who can keep them alive.
But what happens when he soon realizes he is the bigger threat to the woman and
kid he loves?
Now for an Excerpt:
Marlee shifted on her seat. She tapped her fingers against
the table, but she would not look at him. Was Marlee finally beginning to see
the holes in Saul's story?
"I have a copy of the signed statement in which Saul goes
into great detail about Marion having terminal cancer. I can show it to you if
you like."
"I need to get Max home." But she made no move to leave.
Instead, she rubbed her hands along her thighs and sank her teeth into her
lower lip. Her foot started to tap beneath the table. "There's been a lot to
take in. I need to process what I've learned tonight."
She dragged herself to her feet. As she crossed to his bed,
her steps were short and jerky. She turned to face him. He wanted to tell her
not to go. Instead, he pressed his lips together.
"If I have questions, can I call you?"
Devon nodded. He retrieved his wallet and withdrew his card.
She took it immediately.
Saul Moore had seemingly kept his head down and had stayed
out of trouble for forty years. There'd been no reported unexplained deaths in
or around Burrawang Bend. But Devon was in town to poke the bear. And an angry
bear was a dangerous one.
"Marlee, I can't tell you what to do, but I can ask you to
be careful. Think twice if you're going to confront him with what you've
Devon stood at the door and watched Marlee and Max drive
into the darkness. What was she heading to? Was she going to confront Saul with
what she had learned?
He reached for his mobile and dialed Annie. She answered on
the second ring. "Get a pair of eyeballs on Marlee Moore."
"Why? What's going on?"
"I think she may have just realized her grandfather is a

« Prev | Chapter V. The Flight of the Spirit | Next » |
1. The flight of the spirit. 2. Self-control completely lost. 3. Symbol of the two cisterns. 4. Obligations following these favours. 5. Humility produced by them. 6. How our crucified Lord comforted such a soul. 7. A humble soul fears these favours. 8. Mysteries learnt during the flight of the spirit. 9. Imaginary visions sometimes accompany intellectual ones. 10. How the flight of the spirit takes place. 11. The soul fortified by it. 12. Three great graces left in the soul. 13. The third grace. 14. Fear caused by this favour.
1. THERE is another form of rapture, which, though essentially the same as the last, yet produces very different feelings in the soul. I call it the 'flight of the spirit,'288288Rel. viii. 10, 11. Life, ch. xviii, 8; xx. 3. for the soul suddenly feels so rapid a sense of motion that the spirit appears to hurry it away with a speed which is very alarming, especially at first. Therefore I said that the soul on whom God bestows this favour requires strong courage, besides great faith, trust, and resignation, so that God may do what He chooses with it.
2. Do you suppose a person in perfect possession of her senses feels but little dismay at her soul's being drawn above her, while sometimes, as we 199read, even the body rises with it?289289Life, ch. xx. 9. St. John of the Cross, Spiritual Canticle, stanzas xiv.-xv. 23 sqq. Philippus a SS. Trinit. l.c. p. iii. tr. i. disc. iii. art. 3. 'This prayer of rapture is superior to the preceding grades of prayer, as also to the ordinary prayer of union, and leaves much more excellent effects and operations in many other ways.' St. Catherine of Siena (Dialogue, ch. lxxix. 1) says: 'Wherefore, oftentimes, through the perfect union which the soul has made with Me, she is raised from the earth almost as if the heavy body became light. But this does not mean that the heaviness of the body is taken away, but that the union of the soul with Me is more perfect than the union of the body with the soul; wherefore the strength of the spirit, united with Me, raises the body from the earth.' (Transl. by Algar Thorold.) She does not know where the spirit is going, who is raising her, nor how it happens; for at the first instant of this sudden movement one does not feel sure it is caused by God. Can it possibly be resisted? No; resistance only accelerates the motion, as some one told me. God now appears to be teaching the soul, which has so often placed itself absolutely in His hands and offered itself entirely to Him, that it no longer belongs to itself; thus it is snatched away more vehemently in consequence of its opposition. Therefore this person resolved to resist no more than does a straw when attracted by amber (a thing you may have seen); she yielded herself into the hands of Him who is Almighty, seeing it is best to make a virtue of necessity. Speaking of straw, doubtless it is as easy for a stalwart, strapping fellow to lift a straw as for our mighty and powerful Giant to elevate our spirit.290290Life, ch. xxii. 20.
3. It seems that the cistern of water of which I spoke (but I cannot quite remember where) in the fourth mansion,291291Castle, M. iv. ch. ii. 3. was formerly filled gently and 200quietly, without any movement; but now this great God Who restrains the springs and the waters and will not permit the ocean to transgress its bounds,292292Prov. viii. 29. lets loose the streams, which with a powerful rush flow into the cistern and a mighty wave rises, strong enough to uplift on high the little vessel of our soul. Neither the ship herself nor her pilot and sailors can at their choice control the fury of the sea and stop its carrying the boat where it will: far less can the interior of the soul now stay where it chooses or force its senses or faculties to act more than He Who holds them in His dominion decrees; as for the exterior powers, they are here quite useless.
4. Indeed I am amazed, sisters, while merely writing of this manifestation of the immense power of this great King and Monarch. Then what must be felt by those who actually experience it? I am convinced that if His Majesty were to reveal Himself thus to the greatest sinners on earth, they would never dare to offend Him again—if not through love at least through fear of Him. What obligations bind those taught in so sublime a manner to strive with all their might not to displease such a Master! In His Name I beg of you, sisters, who have received these or the like favours, not to rest content with merely receiving them but to remember that she who owes much has much to pay.293293St. Luke xii. 48: 'Cui multum datum est, multum quaeretur ab eo, et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.'
5. This thought terrifies the soul exceedingly: 201unless the great courage needed was given it by our Lord, it would suffer great and constant grief; for looking first at what His Majesty has done for it and then upon itself, it sees how little good it has performed compared with what it was bound to do, and that the paltry service it has rendered was full of faults, failures and tepidity. To efface the remembrance of the many imperfections of all its good deeds (if indeed it has ever performed any) it thinks best to forget them altogether and to be ever mindful of its sins, casting itself on the mercy of God since it cannot repay its debt to Him and begging for the pity and compassion He ever shows to sinners.
6. Perhaps He will answer as He did to some one who was kneeling before a crucifix in great affliction on this account, for she felt she had never had anything to offer God nor to sacrifice for His sake. The Crucified One consoled her by saying that He gave her for herself all the pains and labours He had borne in His passion, that she might offer them as her own to His Father.294294Rel. ix. 8. This happened at Seville in 1575 or 1576. I learnt from her that she at once felt comforted and enriched by these words which she never forgets but recalls whenever she realizes her own wretchedness and feels encouraged and consoled. I could relate several other incidents of the same kind learnt in conversation with many holy people much given to prayer, but I will not recount them lest you might imagine they relate to myself.
7. I think this example is very instructive; it 202shows that we please our Lord by self-knowledge, by the constant recollection of our poverty and miseries, and by realizing that we possess nothing but what we have received from Him.2952951 Cor. iv. 7: 'Quid autem habes quod non accepisti?' Therefore courage is needed, sisters, in order to receive this and many other favours which come to a soul elevated to this state by our Lord; I think that if the soul is humble it requires more valour than ever for this last mercy. May God grant us humility for His Name's sake.
8. To return to this sudden rapture of the spirit. The soul really appears to have quitted the body, which however is not lifeless, and though, on the other hand, the person is certainly not dead, yet she herself cannot, for a few seconds, tell whether her spirit remains within her body or not.2962962 Cor. xii. 2: 'Sive in corpore nescio, sive extra corpus nescio, Deus scit.' She feels that she has been wholly transported into another and a very different region from that in which we live, where a light so unearthly is shown297297This is called 'lumen prophetiæ' and is a transient form of the 'lumen gloriæ.' See St. Thomas Aquinas, Sum. theol. 2a 2æ, q. 175, art. 3 ad 2. that, if during her whole lifetime she had been trying to picture it and the wonders seen, she could not possibly have succeeded. In an instant her mind learns so many things at once that if the imagination and intellect spent years in striving to enumerate them, it could not recall a thousandth part of them.
9. This vision is not intellectual but imaginary and is seen by the eyes of the soul more clearly 203than earthly things are seen by our bodily eyes. Although no words are pronounced, the spirit is taught many truths; for instance, if it beholds any of the saints, it knows them at once as well as if intimately acquainted with them for years.298298The same thing is related of some Saints while on earth, e.g. St Paul the first hermit and St. Anthony, who greeted each other by name though neither knew nor had heard of the other. Occasionally, besides what the eyes of the soul perceive in intellectual vision, other things are shown it. In an imaginary vision it usually sees our Lord accompanied by a host of angels; yet neither the bodily eyes nor the eyes of the soul299299These words, though necessary for the context, were only begun, but not completed by St. Teresa. see anything, for these visions and many other things impossible to describe, are revealed by some wonderful intuition that I cannot explain. Perhaps those who have experienced this favour and possess more ability than myself may be able to describe it, although it seems to me a most difficult task.
10. I cannot tell whether the soul dwells in the body meanwhile or not: I would neither affirm that it does nor that the body is deprived of it. I have often thought that as, though the sun does not leave his place in the heavens yet his rays have power to reach the earth instantaneously, so the soul and the spirit, which make one and the same thing (like the sun and its rays) may, while remaining in its own place, through the strength of the ardour coming to it from the true Sun of Justice, send up some higher part of it above itself. In fact I do not understand what I am talking about, but the truth is that, with the swiftness of a bullet fired 204from a gun, an upward flight takes place in the interior of the soul. (I know no other name for it but 'flight.') Although noiseless, it is too manifest a movement to be any illusion300300Life, ch. xx. 32. Castle, M. iv. ch. i. 10. and the soul is quite outside itself; at least that is the impression made upon it. Great mysteries are revealed to it meanwhile, and when the person returns to consciousness she is so greatly benefited that she holds all this world's goods as filth compared with what she has seen. Henceforth earthly life is grievous to her and what used to please her now remains uncared for and unnoticed.301301 Compare §§ 8-10 with Philippus a SS. Trinitate, l.c. p. iii. tr. i. disc. iii. art. 3.
'Muchas veces he pensado, si como el sol estándose en el cielo, que sus rayos tienen tanta fuerza, que no mudándose él de allí, de presto llegan acá; si el alma y el espíritu (que son una misma cosa, como le es el soly sus rayos) puede, quedándose ella en su puesto, con la fuerza de calor que le viene del verdadero Sol de justicia, alguna parte superior salir sobre sì misma. En fin, yo no sé lo que digo, lo que es verdad es, que con la presteza que sale la pelota de un arcabuz, cuando le ponen el fuego, se levanta en lo interior un vuelo (que yo no sé otro nombre que le poner) que aunque no hace ruido, hace movimento tan claro, que no puede ser antojo en ninguna manera; y muy fuera de si misma, á todo lo que puede entender, se le muestran grandes cosas.'
11. Those children of Israel who were sent on first to the Land of Promise brought back tokens from it;302302Num. xiii. 24. so here our Lord seems to seek to show the soul something of the land to which it is travelling, to give it courage to pass through the trials of its painful journey, now that it knows where it must go to find rest. You may fancy that such profit could not thus quickly be obtained, yet only those who have experienced what signal benefits 205this favour leaves in the soul can realize its value.
12. This clearly shows it to be no work of the devil; neither the imagination nor the evil one could represent what leaves such peace, calm, and good fruits in the soul, and particularly the following three graces of a very high order.303303Life, ch. xx. 31. The same distinctions with respect to divine and diabolical locutions may be found in Life, ch. xxv. 5. The first of these is a perception of the greatness of God which becomes clearer to us as we witness more of it. Secondly, we gain self-knowledge and humility from seeing how creatures so base as ourselves in comparison with the Creator of such wonders have dared to offend Him in the past or venture to gaze on Him now.
13. The third grace is a contempt for all earthly things unless they are consecrated to the service of so great a God. With such jewels the Bridegroom begins to deck His Bride; they are too valuable for her to keep them carelessly.304304'Dexteram meam et collum meum cinxit lapidibus pretiosis; tradidit auribus meis inestimabiles margaritas.' From the Office of St. Agnes. These visions are so deeply engraved in her memory that I believe she can never forget them until she enjoys them for evermore, for to do so would be the greatest misfortune.305305This is undoubtedly the correct rendering of this difficult and obscure passage. But the Spouse Who gave her these gifts has power to give her grace not to lose them.
14. I told you that courage was required by the soul, for do you think it is a trifling matter for the spirit to feel literally separated from the body, as it does when perceiving that it is losing its senses without understanding the reason? There is need that 206 He Who gives all the rest should include fortitude. You will say this fright is well rewarded, and so say I. May He Who can bestow such graces be for ever praised and may His Majesty vouchsafe that we may be worthy to serve Him. Amen.

For a guy who doesn't live in Ontario anymore, Anthony Munoz is certainly connected to his alma mater.
I was at Chaffey High School on Wednesday as Munoz, the Pro Football Hall Of Famer at offensive tackle who is a product of Chaffey and USC, was honored as a "Hometown Hall of Famer" by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate.
In talking to one of the public relations representatives who has been at many of these presentations to Hall of Famers across the country, the show Chaffey put on to honor Munoz was more than many of them.
There were singers, cheerleaders, dancers as well as his high school baseball coach, Jim Semon. It was punctuated with the marching band.
Munoz thanked many people during his speech, many former coaches, but also former teachers who weren't coaches. He apologized if he forgot anyone.
He lives in Cincinnati, the city where he played his entire 13-year NFL career. But his mom still lives in Ontario and he has other family in the area. It felt like a strong connection between man and school, even if he graduated 36 years ago.
I enjoyed it. Hopefully, the current Chaffey students did too, and judging by what I saw on twitter, they did. I was not in the area when he was in high school or in college, but I remember Munoz well in the NFL. He was an impressive player. None of the current Chaffey students saw him play, but hopefully they got a sense of who he is (as I did) and also of how he played.

Maybe I've got too many election results on my brain.
But the Pew Research Center's report about how people are using their mobile phones to get health information sent me to the data from the exit polls. Really.
The bottom line of the Pew report is that cellphone "owners who are Latino, African American, between the ages of 18-49, or hold a college degree are also more likely to gather health information" than other people on their mobile phones.
Pew says the various factors are independent, so it's not just that young people are more likely to have a smartphone, for instance. Each factor can "amplify," in Pew's words, the likelihood that people will use their phones to get health information.
As you might expect, smartphone owners are even more likely to access health info with their devices than regular old cellphone owners are.
When it comes to health apps on smartphones, women were more likely to use them than men. The Pew survey of more than 3,000 people was done in August and early September.
Now, let's review the profile of voters who went for President Obama in a big way, according the data from Edison Research.
He dominated among African-Americans, Latinos and Asians. (No Pew breakout for Asians.) Female voters also preferred Obama.
The president cleaned up among younger people, getting 60 percent of votes cast by those ages 18 to 29 and a majority of votes from those 30 to 44. Romney claimed a majority among people 45 and up.
Among people with at least a college degree, Obama got half the voters, just a tad more than the 48 percent that went for Romney.
And, as you'd probably expect, voters who thought health was the most important issue facing the country overwhelmingly went for Obama.
Let's be clear, I'm no Nate Silver. These are impressions, not scientific comparisons.
Still, it seemed to me there was enough demographic overlap to suggest that quite a few Obama supporters were probably punching away at their phones for health info while waiting in line to vote.

Celebrating Fall September 22, 2017 13:02
Fall is my favorite season here in Colorado. I love the cool, crisp mornings and warm afternoons, the changing colors, the scent of the falling leaves and the brilliant blue sky. I enjoy being out in nature even more in the fall, and feel so rejuvenated and inspired by the changes going on around me.
This inspiration and renewed energy infuses my creativity as well. I feel a surge of energy and the ideas flow beautifully in my studio. I've been working on a collection of stretch triple wrap bracelets with Colorado charms and the colors of nature are certainly inspiring the colors I'm choosing for these pieces.
I've got some new necklaces and earrings with beautiful enamel pieces which I acquired from Janine Gibbons when she closed her local studio. These too are full of the rich autumn colors I'm seeing around me.
