With the help of her new companions, the path Kansas follows leads to more knowledge of the ever adapting famished.
The team finds help in unlikely places, meeting more survivors, and discovers the possibility of a new beginning.
When the team experiences a devastating loss, Kansas struggles to keep her humanity from fading and distorting like that of the surviving society around her. It begins with knowing who to trust and who to leave behind. First, she must trust herself – she won't make the same mistakes twice.
As the answers to her questions are revealed, Kansas begins to understand the knowledge comes with a heavy price and great responsibility of controlling the dead.
In a trilogy plot thick with twists and turns, this adult dark fantasy is as emotional as it is horrifyingly gripping.
YAY today I got to host Annie on the blog. Annie and I spent sometime hanging out this summer at UtopYa and bonded. So it's always nice to have her here!!
WooHOO!! I'm excited to be at my home away from home on Contagious Reads. Love you gals, fierce!
CR: There are some really emotional moments in Controlling the Dead. The whole book seems like an emotional roller coaster? How did this effect your writing? I know you wrote the original a few years ago. Were you dreading coming back to some parts? Excited to polish others?
There are some really emotional moments, and I felt every one of them while writing. If these emotions come through to the reader, I've done my job as an author. There were some parts I dreaded coming back to, and those were saved for last. Really they were… at one point when writing the original, I cried for days and had to step back from writing it so my feelings didn't mix with Kan's.
The first quarter of Controlling the Dead, Kan deals with a lot of emotional falling out from Taking on the Dead. I deal with a very touchy subject, and I wanted Kan's reaction to be real… I really had to put myself in her situation. On top of everything that happened to her personally, she deals with guilt because of what she thinks happened to everyone else… it made for some interesting days, for sure. But I loved every minute of it. =)

My thoughts on Controlling the Dead:
I loved it. So much has improved not the least of which is Annie's writing. Her voice as a writer is still the but louder and clearer. Kan's emotional turmoil jumps off the page at the reader. The book is literally a page turner filled with ups and downs. There was one scene in particular that killed me. It KILLED me. I have to give kudos to Annie for not spilling it to me months in advance. Even though that was the emotional sucker punch for me, there were some really happy times too.
Overall Controlling the Dead was a great continuation of the story. We learn A LOT in this book, but there is still so much left unsaid.

Our study participants enjoy the taste of EnergyFirst, which is very important for maintaining study compliance with our clinical trials.
Manhattan Beach, CA (PRWEB) June 03, 2014
EnergyFirst, a world leader in nutraceuticals and nutrition supplementation, is part of a clinical trial involving the effects of whey protein powder and resistance training on patients that are in the process of being treated for cancer.
The study, "Exercise and Whey Protein Supplementation as Adjunctive Therapy for Patients with Prostate Cancer Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy," focuses on males undergoing androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT, for prostate cancer. This form of therapy negates the natural production of testosterone. The side effects of ADT are the loss of muscle mass, strength and suppression of the immune system.
By using EnergyFirst's ProEnergy whey protein isolate powder — which is derived from the milk of grass-fed cows that are not treated with rBGH, antibiotics or hormones — and a regimen of weight training, the researchers hope to mitigate strength and muscle loss during the treatment of prostate cancer.
"We chose EnergyFirst protein powder because it is all natural, has no fat or cholesterol, and is a high quality whey protein isolate that may help to strengthen the immune system and provide essential proteins to help build muscle mass with resistance training. Additionally, our study participants enjoy the taste of EnergyFirst, which is very important for maintaining study compliance with our clinical trials," E. Todd Schroeder, PhD, FACSM, the director of the University of Southern California's Clinical Exercise Research Center and associate professor in the Division of Biokinesiology & Physical Therapy said.
Though whey protein is a popular supplement, very few brands are derived from the natural sources of EnergyFirst's ProEnergy. Artificial sweeteners are used by other supplement manufacturers, but ProEnergy uses stevia, an all-natural sweetener.
"Whey protein has been a favorite supplement of athletes for many years, but everyone can benefit from whey protein isolate such as our ProEnergy," Gerry Morton, president and CEO of EnergyFirst said. "We're very pleased to have been chosen for this study because of our all-natural approach to manufacturing our ProEnergy whey protein isolate."
About EnergyFirst:
EnergyFirst, a leading company in the all-natural protein and supplement industry, was founded in 1997. We, at EnergyFirst, believe that everyone can benefit from drinking a protein shake whether the goal is optimal nutrition in a meal replacement, an easy and healthy breakfast alternative, a weight loss aid, or a protein supplement for athletes. We also believe that your protein shake should be 100% natural and delicious. EnergyFirst offers healthful and high quality products, including ProEnergy, a whey protein isolate derived from the milk of grass-fed, antibiotic-, growth hormone- and rBGH-free cows; Greenergy Superfood for antioxidant and immune system support from certified organic ingredients; Prefuel all-natural sugar free pre-workout supplement, and Permalean Protein Bars.

I was hit by a freight train, the muse I asked to wake up, woke up with a conductors hat. I was surprise though that on the train that she moved was not the novel I am currently working on. It is another story, a story that will be an experiment of being written in just over 2 weeks. Not edited, but written, about 100k worth of words organized and patterned to create a story. Every free moment I get I will be writing. I want to average over 8k a day. I am hopefully aiming for 16 days.
I will punch in on a time clock and write. My hands will not stop moving, if I get stuck I will simple put *** (COME BACK) ***. Today my research will be done and will count in the progress. I will have the story done for my writers group in 2 weeks' time. I am going to call this a writing marathon and see if it works. I will try to write in my notepad every day on the progress and what I feel like. Hopefully this works.
May my fingers not bleed?

Stan Kasten interviews Adam Dunn
I'm not sure how much you can learn about a pro sports executive from his sports radio style, but the recent performances of Stan Kasten and Vinny Cerrato makes me think you can at least learn a bit. When Cerrato interviewed Jimmy Clausen last week during ESPN 980's Inside the Red Zone, he asked short questions and mostly just let Clausen talk, ignoring all the obvious context and refusing to say anything himself about Clausen's skills.
Obviously Kasten's relationship with Adam Dunn is a bit different--Dunn actually works for Kasten, while Clausen is still in college--but the Nats's president's Tuesday interview with Dunn was completely different. While Kasten was guest-hosting the Mike Wise Show on 106.7 The Fan, he hardly let Dunn speak, instead using the interview to expound about the Nationals, as he's wont to do. But when he did ask questions of Dunn, they were hardly the softballs that Cerrato was lobbing.
"I think a lot of Adam's future hinges on the transition [to first base] he makes," Kasten said at one point. "And Adam, you know I've said this to you personally, you are so skilled at the plate, you are so athletic...but the rest of your career will be determined by how well you make the transition to first. Everyone on our team knows you can be a very good first baseman. If you do, you have a long future in the National League playing two ways. Otherwise, if you don't, you'll wind up having to be an American League player far too early in your career. Because as I said, I don't even think you're at the midpoint of your career now. And your ability to stay in the National League...it's all gonna be dependent on how far you come in becoming a really good first baseman."
Not exactly a Jim Rome question there. I mean, the player does his boss a favor by calling in to his radio show, and all he gets in return is a lecture.
"Yeah, I definitely agree with you," Dunn said. "I know that. And that's why this spring training's really important for me."
Which is not to say that Dunn didn't say anything interesting. The one softball Kasten provided was about Dunn's first year in D.C., but rather than provide pap, Dunn brought the truth. Sort of.
"I think the first year for me was disappointing, because I knew and I know we have the talent to win," Dunn said. "This was a very disappointing season for me, and I know it was for the fans, and it should have been. But I can promise you that we have the right people in place, and we're getting some of the riff-raff out of there and kind of getting a main core together and turning this thing around. And it's not gonna be five years from now. I really believe the moves that you guys are making this year, it's what we needed."
Wow. Who was the riff-raff? And how does he like being in Pittsburgh?
Anyhow, Kasten's co-host Bill Rohland asked Dunn about moving to first base; "once I start getting my footwork down, I think it's gonna be a really easy transition," Dunn said. "I had a lot more fun over there than I thought I would. I like to talk; last year I had a lot of opportunities to talk with all the guys on first base. Hopefully it's not as many opportunities to talk this year."
And that's a fairly cheeky thing to say to your boss on his sports talk radio show. But that's ok, because Kasten has Dunn covered on the pitching front.
"If nothing else happens, 12 months from now we will be adding Stephen Strasburg into this rotation and maybe a lot sooner than 12 months," Kasten said a bit later, still while he was purportedly interviewing Dunn. "We'll be getting Jordan Zimmermann back into this rotation. We'll be adding Drew Storen to the back end. If nothing else happens, this team is on the brink of being really fortified with pitching, and we still have hopes this offseason of doing even more than what I've just talked about in pitching."
Dunn, at this point, was presumably checking his fantasy football transactions.
"Personally, I know he's gonna succeed, because he's that kind of athletic talent, he's that kind of determined," Kasten said later, while Dunn was presumably putting a roast in the oven. "This probably costs me money, but he was a great addition to our team, he was a great addition to our city. I don't think everyone knew that about him before he came to town, but everyone who came around him, on the team and off the team, had nothing but good things to say about Adam Dunn. I'm his biggest fan. I hate saying that publicly, because again it's gonna cost me money, but he really did a great job for us, and I also would like to see him stay here for a very long time."
Rohland offered to send a tape of Kasten's remarks to Dunn for negotiating purposes; "I've already been recording it," Dunn said.
Eventually Dunn hung up, after predicting Texas would beat Alabama in the BCS title game, prompting outrage from Kasten. And then the Nats' president praised his first baseman yet again.
"He has heard it all from me before," Kasten said. "If he allows himself to become a DH now--he's just 30--then he hasn't fulfilled his potential. I think he knows that. He loves D.C., I will tell you that. He loved being here in the nation's capital, he loved playing on this good, exciting young team with some good guys on it, he loved becoming a leader for really the first time in his career, and he loved being out there for nine innings offensively and defensively. He has an opportunity to do that. He could develop into a good first baseman. We see other first basemen that he could be at least as good as if not better, but it's up to him, and I think he will accept that challenge."
If nothing else, Kasten is several miles beyond Cerrato as a public speaker. I think he could have a real future in this sports talk thing.

We agree, Stanny-boy. Stop talking, start signing.
Love Dunn. If he manages to wrestle 1b to even a draw defensively (basically league average), he's a poor man's Pujols or Teixeira.

Wasn't the riff-raff the same guy that gave Dunn his number last year?

I listened to some of Kasten yesterday and was really impressed. He had been good when interviewed, but I was surprised by his ability to interview and talk sports. There was probably more local sports discussion while Kasten was on than the entire existence of The Fan.

You may not have heard of AG Neovo before, but you're likely to remember its monitors. The company's LCD displays are far from your typical panels on beige pedestals. The 19-inch AG Neovo S-19 has an eye-catching designbut its $1,200 street price is also likely to catch your attention. Although some aspects of the monitor justify such a premium price, the display is limited in other important ways.
The S-19 has a dark glass plate that covers the bezel and the LCD panel, giving the monitor a subdued yet stylish presence. Because you touch the glass on the bezel when adjusting the monitor, though, fingerprints are more of a problem than with a matte plastic bezel. Also, glare from lights directly behind us was noticeable.
The base folds up against the back of the monitor and locks with a dial that seems more complex than it needs to be. When open, you must lock the base in position, but locking it closed seems pointlessthe hinge is so stiff that the monitor can't fall open. The company touts this design, saying it lets you quickly and easily transform the S-19 from a desktop display to a wall-mounted display and back. But this transformation will probably occur just once in a monitor's life, so this feature's value may be limited. When using the S-19 as a desktop monitor, you can tilt it back with one hand, but you'll need two hands to pull it up again. The monitor cannot swivel and does not rotate between portrait and landscape modes.
In the lower right-hand corner, the front panel has six buttons with embossed legends that are difficult to read. Fortunately, you can identify the buttons' functions by their positions on the panel. One is the Power switch, and another is the Auto-Sync button, which also serves as the Enter button for the on-screen menu. The four remaining buttons let you open and navigate the on-screen menu system, which is not as intuitive as we would have expected but has plenty of options and settings. The monitor has inputs for analog and DVI computer signals as well as for S-Video. Neovo provides cables for all three, plus an adapter cable that accepts composite video. A separate power brick plugs into an electrical outlet and has a small cable cover on the back that is easier to work than most.
AG Neovo also uses the Neo-V Crystal Optic Filter, which the company claims improves color performance. Our DisplayMate test images looked good. Color tracking was also good, and color ramps were smooth. We found no signs of ghosting or streaking.
Viewing the monitor at extreme angles caused a significant loss of brightness, but viewing-angle effects in general were minimal compared with most other panels. Gray-shade shift and loss of contrast were minimal. Both were most noticeable when viewing the display at angles of 70 degrees or more, as opposed to straight vertical or horizontal viewing. But despite a few flaws, the image quality was still equal to that of the better monitors in the S-19's class.
As with almost all 19-inch LCD monitors, the S-19 has a 1,280-by-1,024 native resolution. The display scales lower resolution images up to fill the screen and can accept higher-resolution images from Microsoft Windows XP systems, but not from Windows 98 machines. Scaling was smooth with few artifacts. With an analog signal, the auto-sync feature adjusted the image size, position, and timing precisely, with no noticeable pixel jitter.
Gray-scale response was excellent at both ends of the spectrum for digital and analog signals. There were no noticeable pixel defects, but two tiny specks of foreign material on or behind the cover glass made slightly noticeable black spots. White-screen uniformity was excellent, and a glow at the sides and lower corners of the black screen appeared to be the result of viewing-angle differences.
The question is whether this combination of excellent picture quality and a few shortcomings is worth the premium price of the AG Neovo S-19. For those who hold screen quality paramount or who fall in love with the case design, the answer may be yes. Most people, however, will be just as happy with available monitors that can do as much and sometimes more, yet cost considerably less.

The word cocreator is not meant to imply a separate creature cooperating with a larger Creator. There are not two, The Creator and the created. There is only creating. Creator, creating, and created–they are one and the same. There's only one thing going on, ever. There is no second cause, no external force to which to appeal to curry favor, or fear retribution.
Experiencing and creating are also the same–ongoing,never-ending–and all that is ever happening. Whatever is being experienced, is what is being created. That said, the word CoCreator in the title implies the union of what is often believed to be separate aspects of the One. Instead, it implies unity, where typically there is thought to be something outside, "out there," that creates this life. It also confers the unitive status "as one," with the "we" that appears to be, in a movement such as that which is suggested in this book.
What is being proposed is a Renaissance, a new way of being, culturally, spiritually, scientifically, economically, cognitively, and artistically. Imagine a world where the creative impulse becomes the highest form of currency, where money and art, money and creativity, go hand in hand, where everything, not just money "and," goes hand in hand. The tyranny of the bottom line, as well as the archetypal starving artist, become a thing of the past, like the dialup telephone. Continue reading

|Return to list of sermons
Victor M. Eskew
A. Post-modern thinking is deeply infiltrating our society.
1. One of the elements of this thinking is relativism.
a. Relativism is a theory that states that knowledge is limited to the individual.
b. In the religious world it comes wrapped in the phrase: "You have your beliefs and I have mine."
c. Under the theory of relativism, truth becomes whatever one believes it to be.
2. Another tenet of post-modern thinking is tolerance. Each individual's beliefs are to be tolerated and no one is to be condemned.
B. This is the confused state of the world in which we live.
1. There do not appear to be any standards.
2. Absolutes are viewed as harsh and intolerant.
C. However, surety of belief is exactly what mankind needs in our world. Fortunately, Christianity provides certainty, security, and absolute truth.
1. John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
2. John 17:17
Sanctity them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
3. Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
4. Ephesians 4:5
There is…one faith.
5. II Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight).
D. Two Sundays ago, we began a lesson entitled: "Belief: Surety Amidst Confusion."
1. We noted that we must first "produce" a belief.
2. We much then "personalize" that belief.
3. When that is done, we must "practice" our belief.
E. Let's continue this lesson about belief this morning.
A. Once we have obtained our belief and are faithfully practicing it, then we must promote it.
B. The example of Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9:20-22).
And straightway
he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But all that hear him were amazed, and
said, Is not this he which destroyed them which call on his name in Jerusalem,
and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief
priests? But Saul increased
the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at
C. We, as Saul, should be out promoting our belief.
1. Matthew 28:19a
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…
2. Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
3. Romans 10:14
How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
D. Many of us are not passionate in this area. Some of us are fearful to spread our beliefs. And, some have been convinced that religious beliefs are too personal to be discussed with others.
E. Brethren, we have absolute truth. We have the authoritative oracles of God. We have that which is certain and steadfast. Surely, others have a right to hear the message. What they do with it is up to them.
A. Truth does not have many friends, but it has a galaxy of enemies. The Bible gives many warnings about those who stand in opposition to the truth.
1. There are those who pervert the gospel (Gal. 1:6-7).
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
2. Some exist who are enemies of the cross of Christ (Phil. 3:18).
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ.
3. Some turn the grace of God into lasciviousness and deny the Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 4).
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
B. Because there are enemies of truth in the world, we must be ready to protect it (Phil. 1:17).
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
1. This is not a fun job.
2. This is not a task that is looked upon with great respect.
3. Yet, it is a necessary job. It is necessary so the truth of the gospel can continue to have a positive influence and permeate and save lives (Gal. 2:4-5).
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: to whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
C. There are many important truths that need to be protected today.
1. The necessity of baptism in the plan of salvation.
2. The one true church as oppose to man-made denominations.
3. The worship of God that conforms to truth and is in the right spirit.
4. The proper roles of men and women in the church and in the home.
5. The sanctity of the marriage relationship.
A. Once we have believed and obeyed the truth, we must continue in our belief every day until death.
1. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed (John 8:31).
2. …speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God (Acts 13:43).
3. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith… (Acts 14:22).
4. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also shall be cut off (Rom. 11:22).
5. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister (Col. 1:23).
6. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee (I Tim. 4:16).
7. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of them thou hast learned them (II Tim. 3:15).
B. Our belief is not to be on again, off again. It is not a life of starting and stopping. It is not faithful today and unfaithful tomorrow.
C. Faithfulness is to be continual in our lives. It is a day-by-day effort.
1. We will grow discouraged, but we keep going.
2. We will pass through the fires of tribulation, but we do not give up.
3. We will be done wrong, but we keep serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
4. We will sin, but we repent and ask forgiveness and keep living a life of holiness.
D. Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth unto the end, the same shall be saved.
A. Many people, including members of the church, are drifting in a sea of confusion when it comes to faith.
1. They are not certain and definite in their beliefs.
2. This shows in their practice of Christianity.
B. Christianity is a religion of definite truth. If we don't produce, practice, promote, and persevere therein, we can't be pleasing to God (Heb. 11:6).
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, that that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

* I listened to one of your live talks and it changed my life. Your passion is inspiring. I never knew going to therapy was okay, before you told me. Thank you for what you've done for me. Made in His Image is an amazing ministry, it saved my life.
* I hadn't eaten in weeks. Then I read your blog and it gave me the resolve to fight again. Thank you.
* You are so inspirational to girls. I sent my mom and best friends the link to your blog because it was such a good depiction of what a woman of God should be like.
* I am a student at JMU and I attended your talk last night! I was so inspired by everything you said. I am a psychology major and wanted to just sign up to help you as you were talking about everything you wanted to do. And your story is so beautiful and touching, I cried after hearing it.
* I wanted to thank you for coming to speak to the women of JMU the other night. I felt like so many of the words you said were speaking directly to me. I've suffered from an eating disorder since I was 12 years old, and have been working hard on my recovery. Your words really spoke to me and I wanted you to know how much I appreciated you taking the time to speak to us about being a daughter of the Father. I've been going through a relationship where I wasn't able to see my true worth because the guy I was with didn't see me as worth anything. I am praying constantly, and I feel like God truly answered my prayers by allowing me to be at your presentation that night, when I was struggling the most. Thank you so much for your words of inspiration and all that you are doing for all of the daughters of God who are struggling to see the truth.
* Hi Maura, I listened to you speak at JMU and your testimony really touched me and spoke to me. Hearing your testimony really made me think a lot.
* I loved your post on I fight him with love. You can just help me by your prayers… and continuing your blog… and by making Made In His Image a reality. You have no idea how much your blog helps me. The fact that you write with knowing that God is there to infinitely love and help you, and sharing how He impacts your life is so comforting. Because I know it too, and it just reaffirms that I'm not alone in this. And sharing your struggle gives hope, and brings in to focus and reality what I and others can hope and pray and work for as well.
* I just wanted to tell you how amazing the work you are doing is, and how proud I am of you. The work you are doing is so important, and so necessary, and I believe God is glorified by all His beautiful daughters you will help Him heal…surely every one of them is held closely in his heart. My mom and I have been following your work via Facebook for months, and we are so proud of you. Both of us struggled at some point with disordered eating, as I believe so many women do, and when you're in it, its such a dark place to be. Thank you for your work and your love and hope you are sharing with so many.
* I came across your blog via facebook news feed. I'm at work now and have plenty to do, but I couldn't stop reading. You are so honest and real and there's so much hope in the way you write. I'm so happy to have found it. I'm amazed at what you're doing. Your posts bring me a lot of comfort and hope. I've been struggling lately with so much and my struggles feel so meaningless sometimes because they stem from weaknesses within myself that I can't seem to get past… but today is the Triumph of the Cross…and its so perfect that I found your blog today. I'll pray for you today. Thanks for everything you're doing!
* A few days I came across your blog so I decided, as with all blogs of people I vaguely knew, that I'd read an article or two to see if they have anything interesting to say, and then ignore it forever. By luck or Providence, I first read a very moving Wednesday Inspiration meditating on the writings of Flannery OConnor. I was struck by the depths of your understanding and devotion to the Lord. I was inspired to read another, and another.
Before I knew it I'd spent Saturday morning reading pretty much your entire blogroll. I have to say, I'm impressed. Your writings marry an uncanny understanding of the workings of the Lord with an eloquence that I rarely see outside of professional theological writings. In short, you give people a lot to think about but make your articles quite fun to read. There were quite a few times where I had to stop and meditate on some aspect or commentary you provided. Not the texts you provided (although they were also good), but on your own thoughts regarding these writings. You have a great gift for spiritual analysis and writing, and you should be proud of that.
* I just wanted to drop a note saying I absolutely LOVE reading your blog! What you write is so true and I can tell that it is from the heart, not forced or faked. I hope everything is going well with your non-profit. Keep up the inspiring work! God Bless!
* I just read your blog. I really appreciate what you are doing.
* Your blog gives me the courage to want to fight again for healing and freedom. Thank you.
* I think Made in His Image is amazing!
* I think your blog and non-profit are wonderful! Sometimes women inquire about the topics you address and now I have a wonderful resource to send them too. May God Bless you!
* This is random, but I was just reading your (amazingly beautiful) blog and thinking, WOW! Maura is such a woman of God that I am blessed to know her! Just wanted to send you a little encouraging note that I think what you are doing is unbelievable and you inspire me so much. The moment I interviewed you for FOCUS I wish impressed with the depth of your faith and commitment to Christ. Some of the words you said then have stuck with me this whole time. Keep pressing onward and don't be discouraged in your mission! It seems like you are already making a difference in so many girls' lives. And if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. Grace and Love!
* I saw your page on facebook which led me to your website/blog, and I just want to say I think it's SUPER awesome what the Lord is calling you to! I also am extremely passionate about girls finding their worth in Christ, and eventually hope that He leads me to doing that kind of ministry full time.
* Maura! I just found your amazing blog! Know you'll already get a few copies sold to me, and I'll spread them to girlfriends! Congrats on your amazing blessings and keep up the great work!
* Your blog shows me the love of the Father.
* Made in His Image is beautiful! I think it is so easy to blame God when difficult things come our way, rather than remembering that it is an opportunity to grow closer to Him and that He would never give us something too big or too hard for us to deal with. We grow every time we use our suffering as a chance to glorify God and draw nearer to Him. Thank you!
* This story is so powerful. "Gold is tested by fire." and "the most massive characters are seared with scars" These words penetrate with a truth that cannot be ignored…it is easy to run from the battle-so thank you for your witness to a daily fight!! I am so grateful to know you.
* You don't know me, but I just want to say I LOVE your blog and think your book and non-profit sound amazing! I hope God will bless you and all that you are doing in His name. It's truly wonderful! May God bless you always!
* Maura, On this feast of Our Lady of the Rosary I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you and all that you are doing. At our Newman Center today I am helping to put on an "Our Lady of the Rosary" Celebration, which includes an on-campus procession with Jesus while we pray for our college, followed by a meal and speaker! The rosary is such a beautiful thing and with it being such a well known symbol I believe that it will be drawing souls closer to Our Lord all day through this wonderful prayer! Have a blessed day and thank you for Made in His Image.
* I read some of your blog and I was compelled to write to you expressing my appreciation for your dream. I too have been touched by those who struggle mentally because of my own experiences. I believe that the answer to the world's problems is mental health, and I have and continue receiving treatment from God through The Eucharist and Reconciliation. It is better than lamictal, zyprexa and any other psychiatric medication out there.
I spent and entire summer externing at Bergen Regional. I worked with adolescents who have mental illnesses and adults who have very acute mental illnesses. It was a wonderful experience, and by the end of the externship, I felt God was calling me to fill in all the missing pieces in the treatment plans of the patients who struggle with psychiatric disease. I see myself pursuing a ministry in aiding those who are mentally unstable. I'm still gaining my credentials so I can be a reliable medical professional in the future, though. So that dream is in the distant future for now
Anyway, I just want you to know that I support your ministry. And I will pray for you, and I hope this becomes a fruitful reality. I am also going as far as saying that if I can work along with you or contribute in any way, i would be happy to.
I am filled with joy when there are others that know The power of God's grace and the healing it can bring to those who are open to it. And I am also proud to see someone I know believing in Mental health!
* I found your blog today… it's incredible.
* I run cross country and track as well. I know you were a collegiate athlete… a runner?? It's incredible to me that you're starting Made in His Image and getting it off the ground… I've been dreaming of a center for eating disorder recovery that is Catholic based… because I want to help girls in this struggle so much. And I love that you're incorporating sports into it. My faith and running and my desire to reach other girls with this struggle is so important to me.
* Made in His Image is such a light in this world.
* FOCUS posted about your blog I fight Him with love a few days ago and immediately went to check it out and found out about Made In His Image…WOW! Just wanted to say thank you for doing this! I know how many women out there are suffering from eating disorders and addictions etc. I wish I would have had such an incredible place to go to as MIMI seems to going to become, when I was suffering. I've heard about Christian treatment centers, but no Catholic ones..So those girls who'll get the opportunity to go to your treatment facility will be very very lucky.
I'm looking forward to when you're book comes out so I can buy it. I've read parts of your blog and am so curious about hearing your whole story and how you got through this tough time. I wish I had the same strength you had and have as well as the same strong faith. You're such a blessing! Even to people, like me, who've never met you and don't even know you! So, once again: Thank you for your hard work!! GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY
* Your blog gives me the courage to want to fight again for freedom. Thank you.
* I've been following your blog. Made in His Image is doing great work.
* I can't describe how grateful I am to be in touch with you. You're such a blessing. I always read your blog and love it. It's really helping me! Earlier today, I was in so much pain and something incredible happened: In the midst of my tears I was able to pray! In the midst of all this pain, and I immediately remembered one of your blog posts where you wrote about a therapy session where you were asked to turn your pain into prayer. And that was exactly what I did! It was SO beautiful and gave me such a peace of heart! And on top of that, I went to Adoration for 40 minutes on my own (I've never done that before!) and it was amazing. I was alone in the room, just me and Daddy.I've grown so much spiritually, every day, since I decided to eat again after those 2 weeks and lay it all down to the Lord. It's amazing how much He has worked in me! I've never felt so much at peace in my life and so purely happy. Like I can't even describe in words how great it feels. I went to Confession during the first week of Advent for the first time since May! And went once again yesterday. Confession is so awesome! And I think it's a very important part of my recovery. I really want to make it a regular thing. I'm thinking of going once a week, at least until Christmas!
Yes, there's still a lot of work I have to do in term of recovering from my eating disorders, self-harm and social anxiety but I'm SO confident that God will heal me. I know He will! And I can't wait until that day so I can give Him all the glory and who knows, maybe help others like you do?:)
GOD IS SO GOOD! I don't think I've ever been this happy and at peace in my life before, it's wonderful. I could keep on writing and writing…
Know that you and MIHI are in my prayers!!!!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- What is the price of security? In some instances, it is worth a great deal more than promises of higher returns. What I have come to realize is that often on Wall Street, "security" is often the most compelling reason for investors to enter a position on a stock. Such is the case for global beverage and food giants Coca-Cola (KO - Get Report) and PepsiCo (PEP - Get Report).
As with Coca-Cola, the downside of the report was with the company's gross margins which arrived at 52.6% or 210 basis points worse on an annual basis. Operating margin arrived at 13.9% and 130 basis points worse than last year. Although margins disappointed, the company reported revenue of $12.43 billion -- topping consensus estimates of $12.39 billion. Sales arrive 4.1% higher than prior-year quarter's $11.94 billion.

I Am Switching Things Up
I have had yet another troublesome park experience. Last night, a forty-something woman tried to kick my three-year old daughter in Youth Park, Monga (艋舺), the place I live in here in Taiwan.
My first response was to rub my eyes and tell myself I was just seeing things. But I know what I saw. We were sliding. Then my daughter said: "Daddy, I want to swing." As I was gathering up our stuff, Ahleena charged off to the swing area. She was about 20 feet in front of me, and as she ran by the swings, a woman who was on the swings purposely stuck out one of her legs so that it came close to connecting with my daughter's head. When I got there, I asked:
"What are you doing? I saw you try to kick my daughter." The woman simply ignored me and went on swinging. "Look, lady," I said. "You can't swing here. You see that sign? It says you have to be under 12 to swing. Get off." She still ignored me, so I got up so close she couldn't swing. This was enough to set her off:
"Who are you to talk to me like this?" she barked. "This is Taiwan! Who are you to bother Taiwanese people in Taiwan?"
"The sign says you can't swing if you're over 12 years old," I said. This led her into a torrent of abuse, including calling me several curse words. Now I knew my eyes hadn't deceived me, that she had indeed tried to kick my three-year-old. There were some teenagers, as usual, hanging out in the playground. She started to appeal to them, figuring this was an us and them issue, case closed. But they hadn't been paying attention. Some of them even knew me and didn't want to take her side. "I'll go get my wife," I offered. "Just wait until she finds out you tried to kick our daughter."
When I returned with my wife, the woman was sitting next to two teenagers I didn't know. They had also been swinging. "This is the [spinster] who took a kick at Ahleena," I said.
"Why did you try to kick our daughter?" asked my wife. Once again, a "foreigner" having the audacity to question her while standing in Taiwan (even if it happened to be through his Taiwanese wife) was enough to set her off. According to her, "foreigners" didn't respect Taiwan. Take me, for instance. I wasn't following the rules. If I was, I wouldn't be drinking a can of beer in the park. So I asked her, "Where is the rule that says I can't drink a can of beer in the park? I didn't litter it. Plus there are ten other people drinking a can of beer in the park, you old [spinster]."
This is what she told me: "They are Taiwanese. You are not." Did she ask me if I was Taiwanese? No.
"Do you see that sign? It says you have to be 12 or under to swing. What if the swings are calibrated for weight?" I asked.
Again she claimed I was a foreigner who didn't respect Taiwan. She called me an "asshole" in English and said I was "violent" in Chinese. Then, as she was leaving, she said: "I hope you and your family die in a car accident."
My wife has three theories for this kind of attitude:
1. My wife has met older people in Taiwan that simply dislike "mixed" children. They think that it is messing with the purity of the Han gene pool. Plus they figure that they are the offspring of soldiers and prostitutes.
2. There might be people in Taiwan who have stereotypes about "foreigners." These stereotypes lead them to believe negative things about every "foreigner" they come across. That they have not met these "foreigners," know nothing about who they are, their background or their character is of little concern. "Foreigners" are all the same to them.
3. My wife was doing some psychology. She asked me: "Did you see how she called you an 'asshole'"? She obviously understood what you said when you called her a [spinster]. I think she was jilted by a 'foreigner' and now she's taking revenge on our daughter. That could be why she wanted to kick her."
I have opened up this discussion before. People have told me that it comes down to the neighborhood I live in, Monga (艋舺). They say because of Monga's lower socio-economic position, it attracts and creates unsavory individuals. In other neighborhoods of Taipei, people are not trashy. In fact, people can be polite and engaging. And their kids, instead of hanging out in park playgrounds and harassing tax-paying, civic-minded individuals, do old-fashioned things like stay at home and study, learn how to play the piano or join constructive extra-curricular activities.
I just don't want to give up on Monga. I have met a lot of nice people here. My neighbors are nice. Lots of people do line up for buses and do not push each other on the sidewalk. What I have concluded is my karma is bad. I am attracting nutcases like a light attracts flies. One other thing I've concluded is that, as a father, I've had to be extra attentive. In the past, I'd simply read a book or ride my bike, not paying attention to what's going on around me. I have to watch everything now, and sometimes I am not liking what I am seeing.
Tonight, I'm changing everything. We're taking a new route home. We're reading different books. And we're going to a new park and having some completely different for dinner. I'm doing this to change my karma.

More shows coming up this weekend. We're hooking up with Worn in Red for a show in Harrisonburg, VA followed by another in Durham, NC. Driving around Virginia and North Carolina in the spring, not a bad way to spend a weekend at all. If you live in or near those towns, how about a nice spring drive to be deafened by rock? Perfect, see you there.
The spring break tour went well, aside from the not-so-spring weather. We had snow and temps below 35 the whole time and a van with not-so-good heat. I wore thermals and gloves and was fine, but we must have looked funny to the other cars as we sat all bundled up with hats on. There were good times with Kid You'll Move Mountains and Javelins, and we're hoping that we can play with both bands again in the near future. Maybe for the summer tour? Maybe it won't snow then.
We're taking May off from playing shows, but will be back in effect for the summer. Many new songs on the horizon to boot.

Has Terence Tao solved Erdos Discrepancy Problem?
While a part of the solution was probably solved (?) last year, Terence Tao suggest he might have come to a full solution. He has posted an article on Arxiv and the whole first piece to Discrete Analysis.
The Erdos Discrepancy Problem (EDP) was posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos (here with Tao) during the 1930s. At its simplest, when you toss a coin a sequence of heads and tails is created, for example, when a tail is assigned the value -1 and a head is assigned the value 1. As the coin is tossed repeatedly, it has the potential to create infinite sequences.
Erdos was interested in to the extent at which these sequences contained patterns of numbers, or values. If an infinite sequence is cut at a random place, finite sub-sequences are created. If a mathematician was to add up the values in one of these subsequences, the figure he arrives at is called a discrepancy. According to Erdos, if you place 12 values of 1 and -1 in a row, the total of the numbers in the subsequence can equate to 1.
However, Erdos wanted to know if it was possible to prove, mathematically, if the sum of subsequence could ever equal more than two.

Retro Ad – Beer Endorsement Barney
Fred & Barney For Busch Beer in Retro-Awesome Commercial (circa 1967) In this 1967 TV commercial, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble of The Flintstones are pitchmen for Busch beer. The ad was apparently produced for employees of Budweiser. I say they pull it out of the archives and run it again. In today's politically correct, make-everything-vanilla climate, I wonder what the response would be to Homer Simpson drinking and endorsing a real beer (other than the infamous Duff). I'd watch it, share it, and drink it. Links

Both men's and women's soccer teams saw success this week. The women's team defeated the Bard College Raptors on their own turf 2-1 last Saturday. The men's team took on Skidmore College at home last Wednesday with a 1-0 victory, then crushed Bard 3-0 on a rain-soaked field Saturday afternoon.
The women's team struck early against Bard, with the first goal coming in the ninth minute of play. The Engineers shot a long ball toward the goal, which slipped out of the hands of the Raptor's goalie. Senior forward Cori Winslow seized the opportunity and scored on the rebound.
Rebounds continued to present opportunities for RPI. This time, Winslow crossed the ball into the box, one which, again, Bard's goalie was not able to hold on to. Senior forward Ali Zumpetta was there at the ready, and redirected the ball to put the Engineers at a 2-0 lead.
It took the Raptors until late in the game to make headway on the Engineer's lead. Bard, too, scored on a rebound. The Raptor's Hattie Wilder Karlstrom put a free kick on net, which freshman goalie Joey Lyons was only able to tip. Katie Hopper finished the shot, putting the score at 2-1. However, the tying goal never came for Bard, and RPI emerged victorious.
Despite Skidmore's eight shots in the first half of the men's Wednesday game, the Engineers held off the Thoroughbreds. Neither team was able to score in the first half.
It was late in the game when the Engineers slipped one past Skidmore's goalie. A misplay by the Thoroughbreds' defense allowed senior Devon Baughen to scoop up possession and score. Skidmore, with only ten minutes left in the game, was unable to respond to the goal.
During Saturday's rainy game, scoring was plentiful for the Engineers in the second half. The first goal came from sophomore Danny Corridan, who received the ball from Baughen after a corner kick. Corridan put the ball low in the corner to give RPI the lead.
The Engineers increased their lead in the 68th minute thanks to Corridan and junior Steven Collins. Corridan received the ball from the throw in, quickly passing it to Collins who was able to shoot past the goalie's reach.
But RPI was not done scoring just yet; late in the game, Collins was back in action. Senior Nick Revano played a cross inside the 18, which slipped past the goalie. Collins was there to finish the shot. The game ended 3-0 in favor of the Engineers.
Women's soccer is 13-3 overall and will face Skidmore away on Thursday, October 27. The men's team, now on a four game streak, is 7-6-3 overall and will travel to Keene State College on Wednesday, October 26.

Off to the "Provencial" part of France we go .. see what I did there?
Hahaha. The town is small but very much rich in the history of the Papacy and the scent lavender.
One of the oldest and the most important medieval gothic buildings in Europe is the Palais des Papes (Papal palace). It served as residence for the papal in the 14th century, and has underwent many demolishes, renovations and additions of sections in the palace throughout 350 years until Avignon was declared by France in 1791. During the French revolution it was used as military barracks and prison, as well as the front of the palace an execution ground. Today it is regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Some Spanish vibes, don't you think?
The time we visited, there were no lavenders to see in the fields since it only grows in full color and bloom during the summer.
I knew it was officially spring when I visited the Jardin des Doms which is a slope or two up from the Palais des Papes because of the life of the flora and fauna that surrounded us! We had a relaxing and tummy-filling Sunday lunch by the lake with the ducks, too. There is a small grotto which you can ascend to spot a scenic view of Avignon.
We got happy clicky when we went to the Pont d'Avignon. You can see how the bridge does not connect to the other side of the lake. About 1/4 of the bridge is what we see today and 3/4 was destroyed and rebuilt but collapsed from a flood afterwards. Somewhere in the middle of the 17th century the bridge became abandoned but later on altered, leaving some parts preserved. It is also classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now this gives justice to the rich background of Avignon!
Next time I come back, I'd love to see the lavender fields! From sight-seeing to scent-smelling of my favorite fragrance, oh, how delightful that would be.

It's been a few weeks, how are you feeling about flipped-learning?
So far we have defined blended learning and flipped classrooms and explored some statistics about the topics. This week we will turn to a couple noted experts in the field to see what they have to say. Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams are pioneers in the flipped-learning community. Interesting to note that they both taught in nearby Woodland Park, Colorado. The gentlemen have co-authored a few books through ASCD and ISTE: Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day
and Flipped Learning: Gateway to Student Engagement and the soon to be released Flipping the Science Classroom.
Additionally, they have an excellent series of videos on Edutopia as part of the Flipped-Learning Toolkit. Click the picture below to find the toolkit. What are you waiting for? Go grab your favorite beverage, turn up the volume and get ready to further your learning. You will be entertained and glad you took the time to rethink how you share content. Ultimately, your students will be the the ones saying, "Flip, flip, hooray!" Or something like that!
Need more? Check out their YouTube Channel about Flipped Learning.
Next week we will explore tools that you can consider as you start down this flipping path!

De Laleu is off to Buenos Aires Argentina during the summer of 2012 to do extensive research on urban environmental community development and media and plans to start on her doctoral degree work in the Fall of 2013.
Q & A with Barbara De Laleu
BS: What made you want to pursue a career in Communications? When did you notice your interest in that field?
Barbara De Laleu: I pursued a career in Communications because I naturally gravitated towards the radio industry and its many impactful and legendary voices. I was interested in creating moments with people, giving back, and sharing stories. I believed that radio was one of the ways to accomplish this!
BS: Has mentoring played an integral part in your life? How has it impacted your career?
Barbara De Laleu: I have been blessed to both have and be a mentor, so I would say it is the primary driving force of my career and personal life. I believe in always having a firm support system that will give you strength and contribute to your growth in your career path as a leader and a person. All of my mentors have been instrumental in my success and confidence in executing past, present, and future ventures.
BS: What are two of the most important lessons that you have learned throughout your career in Media Communications and Broadcasting? How did those lessons help you to progress in your field?
Barbara De Laleu: Two lessons I have learned throughout my career in Media is to never be afraid to ask for help and that I will always be learning. These lessons helped me to build stronger networks as well as be a more effective networker.
BS: What was your inspiration behind the launching of your new consulting, strategic marketing, and PR company "Best on The Scene" ?
Barbara De Laleu: It was actually an idea that came from a co-worker of mine at WBLS FM..she repeatedly kept telling me how I was the best at connecting people, being resourceful, and promoting others, then continued by saying I should start a company based off of my natural abilities. I thought long and hard and said "Why not!" I always believed that anyone should be able to turn what they love into a career opportunity! So I came to a firm realization and proceeded to execute my plan accordingly.
BS: How important is education to you? What effect did it have on your career?
Barbara De Laleu: No one can ever take your education away from you. I am a proud graduate of St. John's University Queens Campus and two time Master's degree graduate from New School University's schools of Media Studies and Milano School of Management and Urban Policy. I will also be pursuing a doctoral degree in the Fall of 2013. Education has enriched my life and academic experiences immensely as well as kept me thoroughly disciplined. I am strong, determined, and ambitious because of the knowledge gained from my professors and fellow peers. The learning experience both in and outside the classroom have definitely prepared me for my ultimate career goals. I will always look back and be proud that I never gave up on my academic journey along with all of the hard work I put in.
BS: What are some of the challenges that you had to overcome? How did you get through those difficult times?
Barbara De Laleu: I would say some challenges have been dealing with the current changing landscape of radio. It's not the business it used to be which makes it even harder to survive, but thankfully, the support system I have in and out of my professional arena has prepared me for the best and worst. I am always in the routine of keeping myself "in the know" especially when it comes to the radio industry.
BS: What inspires you to keep going and reach for new heights? What drives you?
Barbara De Laleu:The opportunities I can create for others is the greatest inspiration. I sincerely love to see others succeed at what they love to do. To be able to create an outlet for our future leaders of tomorrow and see them produce and execute their plans would be an amazing accomplishment for me and my community. The legends before me drives me, the nay-sayers (or as most would refer to as "haters") drive me, the onlookers, motivators, and close family and friends drive me. The little voice in my head and constant beats in my heart when I think of radio drive me to succeed. Most importantly, the impact of my voice and what I have to say and how it directly affects others motivates me to keep moving forward. Lastly, two words, an unforgettable name, and giant inspiration: HAL JACKSON.
BS: How do you develop your brands?
Barbara De Laleu: You want to hear something funny? I leave that up to my audience/my supporters! They believe in me as much as I believe in myself, so when I go out there and represent myself I do it authentically and stay true to who I am—that's important because there are people (young, old, black, white, female, male) looking up to you as a role model whether you are trying to be one or not. I am active on my social networks (facebook, twitter, foursquare, instagram, skype), I am entertain on the air on my radio show, and I educate one-on-one with people I come in contact with daily. I keep that social behavior consistent and I do it with a beautiful SMILE.

Man accused of firing gun in his home appears in court
A Snow Shoe man accused of firing a gun in his home during an altercation with his wife was in court Wednesday.
The prosecution withdrew the most serious charge against Theodore Shay — a felony count of discharge of a firearm — but waived his preliminary hearing on the remaining misdemeanor counts of simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
The charges stem from an incident Saturday, when Shay, 25, is accused of firing a .357-caliber revolver into the floor near his feet after an argument with his wife.
Despite the waiver, Shay appeared before District Judge Leslie Dutchcot as his attorney argued for a modification of his $150,000 monetary bail in light of the withdrawn felony charge. Part of his reasoning was that his client didn't want to be separated from his wife and children.
Assistant District Attorney Crystal Hundt opposed that motion, saying the defendant had said, "I'm going to end it all," which could have been a threat of violence toward his wife or a suicidal gesture.
"He has already taken a weapon and made threats. What's going to happen the next time he is severely intoxicated?" Hundt said.
Dutchcot agreed.
"When we set bail, we take into consideration not just the felonies or misdemeanors," she said, adding that the bail set by District Judge Tom Jordan at arraignment was "sufficient."

Simple Correspondence Analysis of Nominal-Ordinal Contingency Tables
School of Computing and Mathematics, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC, NSW 1797, Australia
Received 19 February 2007; Revised 14 June 2007; Accepted 29 October 2007
Academic Editor: Mahyar A. Amouzegar

The correspondence analysis of a two-way contingency table is now accepted as a very versatile tool for helping users to understand the structure of the association in their data. In cases where the variables consist of ordered categories, there are a number of approaches that can be employed and these generally involve an adaptation of singular value decomposition. Over the last few years, an alternative decomposition method has been used for cases where the row and column variables of a two-way contingency table have an ordinal structure. A version of this approach is also available for a two-way table where one variable has a nominal structure and the other variable has an ordinal structure. However, such an approach does not take into consideration the presence of the nominal variable. This paper explores an approach to correspondence analysis using an amalgamation of singular value decomposition and bivariate moment decomposition. A benefit of this technique is that it combines the classical technique with the ordinal analysis by determining the structure of the variables in terms of singular values and location, dispersion and higher-order moments.
