Out on a Limb
I am about to make all of you jealous. Are you ready? I just had the wonderful experience of reading Out on a Limb for the first time! Do you all remember how that felt for you?
Believe it or not, it took me 38 years on this earth to find my way to and to read Out on a Limb. (Of course, once I started, I could not put it down.) I do have the distinct memory of seeing this book in hardcover on my mother's bookshelves when I was young, but then my mother went through a "religious" experience of some sort when I was about 14 and all such books--including Out on a Limb--disappeared from our house.
Fast forward 30 years or so, and I found my way back to the book. But Out on a Limb was not my introduction to Shirley MacLaine, rather--in a long line of synchronistic events that involved my best friend dying suddenly and my trip to Santa Fe for yoga teacher training (I had no idea at the time that Santa Fe was Ms. MacLaine's home)--the audio version of Saging While Aging.
So . . . Here I am having just read Out on a Limb for the first time. Would anyone like to discuss? I'll start with the first sentence or two that I underlined in the book:
" . . . tropical plants and flowers. They were cared for by a Japanese gardener who loved them like children and believed that Peter Tomkins was correct, that plants had emotions. I remembered how silly Gerry thought I was when I first mentioned the concept to him.
'Plants can feel?' he laughed. 'Well, I'm just glad they can't talk back.' I had wanted to pursue the conversation, but his sardonic laughter nipped it in the bud, so to speak.' . . . "
Well, everyone . . . let's not allow that conversation to wane any longer, eh? Anyone want to talk about the spiritual lives of plants? I have one crazy cactus that I'd love to discuss with you!

"I wasn't going to spend my life doing what had already been done." - Georgia O'Keeffe
Okay, gosh dang it, you are right, Steph .... I am jealous!! Having read OAL for the first time decades ago (same year as your mom, probably!), I can still recall the astonishment of one "AHA!" moment after another as I rapidly devoured the pages.
I have loved Shirley MacLaine and her (at the time) "radical, woo-woo" opinions ever since; she feels like a kindred spirit, and I believe that all of us here, who landed at - and stay at - this site are probably in the same soul group. Hence, that makes us family!
Plants have emotions? Well, DUH!! Yes, of course plants can feel!! I heard a fascinating report a number of years ago on PBS -- someone did a study on three different fields of hops in England. In one field, they played rock 'n roll music continuously; in another, a talk show; and in the last, relaxing classical or chamber music. I can't remember the exact degrees of difference, but I do recall that the hops 'nurtured' by the soft, non-verbal music grew faster and straighter and healthier than the other two fields. The talk show hops finished a pathetic third -- in fact, many of the plants shriveled up and died.
Oh, and for years and years and years I had a crazy snake plant named Fred, which I'd bought at a church fair for probably 25 cents when he was just a teeny little snip of a thing in a palm-size flower pot. However, Fred was like the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors" --- he grew and grew and grew CONSTANTLY; God alone knows why. I kept enlarging Fred's pots, until finally I had to have them custom made. By the time I moved to the convent, I'd had Fred for about 25 - 30 years, he'd adjusted to six major physical moves and he was still healthy as a horse. He now has a room of his own in a former neighbor's home on Peaks Island, where I hear he continues to flourish.
Oh! And it anyone has a plant that is a tad droopy? If possible, put it near - preferably on top of, your tv set or radio. Plants DEFINITELY pick up outside energy and respond to it!! Guaranteed - your plant will perk up in no time (providing you are tuned into a favorable channel!)
Of course plants can feel and i'm looking forward to reading about your crazy cactus
I too enjoyed Out On A Limb, very well written and engrossing.
Did you know that prince Charles talks to his plants at his Highgrove home and he's not embarrassed to say that.
Hello! So glad I got some company here!
Thank you so much for posting that story about the hopfields, Lura. Now, did the story tell you which hops made the best beer? You'd think the rock-n-roll field would hold claim to that, but perhaps not. And that is hilarious that the talk show field hops shriveled up and died. They must have not been playing Shirley MacLaine interviews! :-) I'm going to have to do some research and try to find that story. I'd love to listen to/read/watch it.
And I may have a cousin of Fred's . . . let me tell you the story of this yet unnamed cactus . . . my dear friend Anita died suddenly at the age of 37 a few years ago (fell off a golf cart, of all things!) . . . in addition to me, Anita had two other very close friends, and we were all friends in graduate school. The trio of us each now protect 1/3 of Anita's music, books, and plants--one was this crazy cactus from which each of us took one tiny cutting (one is in Florida, one in TN, and mine in Chicago). I'm attaching a photo here of the current status of this thing. I'm not sure what the heck it thinks it is doing, but it seems to be having some fun. Anyway, each cutting has grown into a completely different looking creature. Mine is in my basement yoga room and is surrounded by Anita's books and music. It gets a healthy dose of regular incense, morning meditation, jazz music, Shirley interviews, and gets to watch me routinely practice yoga. Perhaps all those different stimulations has given this plant the courage to follow its own true bliss--which is a bit nutty. I am inspired each time I breathe and sit with it.
I've got other spiritual plant questions, but will save them for later.

Oh, I love your plant, Steph!! S/He definitely looks like a free spirit, lol, that will not play by any "normal" plant rules! What a cutie! His/her name will appear to you in due time...
If I get a chance, I too will try to locate the hops story.
Just wanted to say, I definitely remember reading OOAL for the first time. I realized then that there were other people who had the same "crazy" ideas that I have. I have loved Shirley ever since. With each new book, I always feel a little thrill of anticipation when I start reading.
As far as plants--I tend to become attached to them and cannot let them go unless they are just too far gone. I have a small bamboo plant that might or might not make it. Was thinking about putting it outside in the summer to see if it perks up. Does anyone know anything about bamboo and how to make it thrive?
Hello Joanne, I don't know anything horticulturally speaking about bamboo, but emotionally/spiritually, you may want to try reading some Rumi and W.B. Yeats to (or at least in the presence of) your little bamboo plant. In particular, poems with the reed flute image--it abounds in Rumi's poetry and may inspire the little fella to achieve its true poetic potentiality, as Deepak Chopra might say. W.B. Yeats had that durn reed flute imagery running around in many of his poems, too--I argued in graduate school that Yeats was quite influenced by the mysticism of Sufism, etc. (not really a controversial thesis). If the poetry does not lift your bamboo's spirits, it will certainly enrich yours and maybe conjure up a dead poet or two in your midst during the reading! "Not a bad way to spend a Friday night, eh?"
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Namaste and two hands together from the melting Midwest,

harvesting wildflowers?!
Alright . . . before I get wrapped up in my storyline of a work life here, I have to say that on the (long!) commute into the office, I was listening to an archived Independent Expression Radio show where Shirley was talking to Rebecca Skeele about co-creation. She--Skeele--was giving advice about using the essence of flowers as a way of opening the heart, the chakras, and moving from the "story" life to an "intentional" life. I like the sound of that, but when Shirley started asking her the practical questions for an individual, for example, living in the city--what's a city gal to do? Go to the local florist and choose the flower that resonates most vibrantly to her? No, said Skeele, ideally go out into the wilderness and choose flowers from there.
Excuse me? Harvest wildflowers?! This is where I put the brakes on in the conversation. While they did not address this fundamental problem in the conversation, I think we could talk about it here. Harvesting wildflowers? As a lover of nature, the wilderness, our national parks--especially the Smoky Mountains which have the most variety of species of wildflowers in North America--I am pretty shocked at the idea of stripping wildflowers from their home so that I can soak up their essence for my own personal use. It kind of sends shivers up my spine even typing that.
So . . . if you cannot go to a florist (and I understand the complicated ethics of flowers in a flower shop--have you seen the documentary Love, Women, and Flowers?! Most flower shop flowers/plants have had such a tragic life imbued with violence imposed upon them and the women in the factories!) and you cannot harvest wildflowers (thank goodness!), where do you get your flower essence from? . . .
I suppose one obvious answer is that we must grow our own flowers--as we should our food we consume as well, eh?
Any thoughts out there on, to coin a phrase from Shirley this morning, our petal people?
Alright...into the story work day I go!
"I wasn't going to spend my life doing what had already been done." - Georgia O'Keeffe
Hi Norma, I loved your advice about reading Rumi and Yeats to my little plant. Since I love reading poetry anyway, this is right up my alley. I will let you know the results.
I know of the IE interview that you speak of. I have to say that I , also, would have an extremely hard time plucking wildlife flowers. Years ago, my husband and I were hiking on Mt. Rainer and came across a meadow of exquisite flowers. All kinds and colors--it was breathtaking! Well, there were two woman ahead of us that felt the need to gather some for themselves. For what purpose, I'm not sure. They were probably wilted by the time they reached the bottom of the mountain. That has always stayed with me because it bothered me so much. Sometimes beauty is just meant to be enjoyed and not owned.
Nice to meet you here, by the way!
Nice meeting you, too! And call me steph. "Norma Rae" is just a pet pseudonym I use on occasion.
Wow, that's a shocking story about the wildflower poachers at Mt. Rainer. I've seen similar disregard on occasion in the Smokies--usually young adults who have forgotten how to respect nature (and have not yet rediscovered that lost compassion). And let's not even get started on corporations wrecking havock on the natural resources and pure essence of this Earth (said the woman who just drove 2 hours to get to work! *sigh*). Or maybe we should? . . .
Yesterday and this morning during my horrid commute to the office, I listened to two really inspirational conversations on the environment between Shirley and Forest Guardians Executive Director Susan Trixier and the other between Shirley and Kuki Gallmann. Both were just wonderful and are certainly a continuing conversation of Shirley's initial question in Out on a Limb: "Do plants have emotions?" Traffic was so brutal today, that I was able to write down a few thoughts from Kuki related to this topic:
"Listen to the voice of the Earth, the plants, the trees."
"Plants have many secrets."
The ancients certainly knew this; poets and artists know this; beings from other planets and solar systems--I am certain--know this; people from less industrialized countries than ours must know this; the shaman knows this. We've forgotten, but at least it seems that some of us are trying desperately to remember the thing(s) we've forgotten. What is it that we've forgotten? The feminine? The yin? That we are all energy and all connected?
Should we continue this conversation or switch gears to another line or two from Out on a Limb?
namaste from the soggy midwest!

Unfortunately, their skills are underutilized because they just panic. One of them calls for rescue while snorkeling. They finally decide to try the other Detour, and they are pleasantly surprised that the diving helmets allow them to breathe underwater. Oh, Doctor Brothers. If only you'd realized that before everyone else finished the pearl diving.
The finish line, non-dramatic edition
The top finishers of the Roadblock were Hockey (unsurprisingly good at balance), Fa/Son, and Dating J&J. They race on foot to Phil.
Yards away from the Amazing Mat, Father cries out, "I just ruptured my Achilles!" Ack! He keeps going, just slower.
Team Hockey is first, Fa/Son is second, and J&J are third. Father hasn't collapsed in pain, so maybe his Achilles isn't completely ruptured. You know who is really curious about this? John. If Fa/Son are out of the Race, then the second Express Pass is up for grabs, and J&J can really mess with teams' heads dangling that Pass around. Quite a mental and physical cliffhanger.
The next foot race is between Teams YouTube and Mullet. Chuck may be long of leg and swift of foot, but Wynona has pointed out a few times that she's no spring chicken, so YouTube takes fourth place and Mullet is fifth.
The Roller Moms, who did the underwater picnic and kind of raced apart from the pack, get to the Pit Stop in sixth place.
This week's best life skill actually applicable to race success
Four teams are still out there: the Doctor Brothers, finally finishing the Detour, the Singers and Newlyweds, and the Fearless Friends. The Friends get to the Roadblock first, and one says forebodingly, "Should be easy for me, I'm so good at balancing." The Newlyweds arrive next, followed by the Singers.
Guess what? Singer Caroline grew up doing gymnastics, and she says, "I just love anything nimble-y." I just love her right there for adjectiving an adverb. While Max and the Friend fall over and over, Caroline nimbly crosses the finish line. They get to Phil in seventh place.
The finish line, dramatic edition
Newlywed Katie watches Max fall over and over, and she wins the award for First Person to Say "Maybe I should have done it" at a Roadblock. Then she waits at the finish line where Max can see her. This motivates him, either out of love or fear of death at her hands, and he finishes. They are team number eight.
Friend is still falling over and over. Her foot has a blister, her hands hurt. But just when you think the Doctor Brothers will arrive and pass them, they don't. Fearless Friends are team number nine.
The Doctor Brothers get the sad music of farewell played over their Roadblock. They finish, but they are Philiminated. I bet they would have been so awesome anywhere that wasn't in the middle of the ocean.
Join me next week when the Race goes to Phil's very own hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand! He promised on Twitter, "I helped set up some pretty wild challenges from my past." Will we get to see his dad again? I can't wait!

A dog in Australia saved the day for a kangaroo that plunged into a pool. The kangaroo somehow fell or jumped into a backyard pool in Victoria State.
This video shot by 7News shows the kangaroo treading water as it struggles to get out.
The pool owners say their dog's loud barking alerted them to the trouble. Rescuers sedated the animal and pulling it to safety. A neighbor and a wildlife expert were called to help perform the delicate animal rescue. A restraint used to catch dogs was positioned over the animal's head before he could be sedated.
Victoria's Manfred Zabinskas, a wildlife specialist, said the main concern for getting the kangaroo out of the water was the climatical impact on the animal."In his case one of the big concerns is he was very cold by the time I pulled him out so he's actually suffering from hypothermia," said Zabinskas.
The kangaroo is doing okay after being treated for hypothermia at a local hospital.

Hemangiomas & other Birth Marks
Message from the group owner
Welcome to the Hemangioma and Birth Mark Board!!!
If you have a little one that has a Birth Mark or you have questions please stop in and ask them. Many many children have birth marks (or hemangiomas) and there is no problem or concern. These hemangiomas tend to fade over time and disappear by teenage years.
But for the rare child the location or the severity of the hemangioma causes medical intervention. This can take many forms and this board is here to lend support and guidance for any questions or support you need.
None of us are trained Drs. but most of us here have children that have hemangiomas that have required treatment of some kind and have seen and gotten the stares and questions asking what is that on our babies. If you are looking for medical advice please post and we will let you know how your question applies to our personal situation, but if you are looking for detailed medical advice I strongly recommend that you check out www.birthmark.org for a listing of Drs. that work specifically with children with hemangiomas.
We are here to support one another and if you would like to know more about us and our beautiful children please read our stories that you can find here.
Again Welcome and feel free to ask questions, offer support, and learn along with all of us.

Understand who your child is before you decide to place him/her in FWM. For preschool, if your child is not a "self-starter/cookie cutter child", they will get lost in this maze of "figure it out yourself". There is rampant bullying, even at a young age and teachers usually choose not to see this but rather focus on the child who is "loud". It is a very polarizing environment and the head of the school has no idea what business she is in. Enrollment is way down and there is a reason for it. There are many other great education choices in Newtown. My child after only one month out of the FWM environment and in another preschool is blossoming and make huge strides with more confidence, skills sets and is genuinely happy and learning.
Fraser Wood students evolve into bright, articulate, and caring young adults, with amazing skills and characteristics to succeed in their studies, and in life. My own kids and their friends love to go to FWM. The teachers meet each kid where they are academically and emotionally, and help them move forward at their own pace. It is incredible to see the multi-age classroom in action. They also provide a non-competitive environment in classes, sports and throughout the school. This allows the students to work together in a supportive and cooperative way, to develop intrinsic motivation to excel, and to build skills to get along in the world when they move on.
Fraser Woods Montessori is a great school! My daughter has been here since she was 3 and she is now in Middle School. She has had an amazing experience both academically and socially. I really like the way the curriculum is set up, the way the teachers guide the students and I like the way classes are set up as I think the students are more productive than in a traditional setting. If you've never seen a Montessori classroom you'll be amazed. I think they let you do classroom observations so go check it out. All the kids are busy working on their own. This way of learning teaches them to really follow directions and work independently. I saw another post about bullying and I was surprised as we've never experienced it or seen it here. Being respectful of each other has always been encouraged in my daughter's classes, in fact that is why we chose FWM over any other school. Wish they had a High School!!
This school is the best! I'm so thankful I found it. My children would have been "fine" in the public schools. But having gone through eighth grade at Fraser Woods, they have developed a love of learning, confidence and a strong sense of self that has served them well in the Newtown high school and college. Thank you Fraser Woods!
The teachers at this school are amazing! I love that they came to me with great excitement to share a wonderful moment with my daughter. My daughter was ready to be pushed to the next level and they pushed - she is now soaring. It is not about grades and comparisons to others, it is about how my daughter is doing, how she is progressing at her own pace and how the school is able to answer her individual needs. They are helping to create an independent thinker, respectful young adult and a responsible student. I am grateful to Fraser Woods for being an institution that provides the structure that my child needs, educates her to a higher level than provided by the local public schools and allows her the freedom to pursue her own interests. The school has also been wonderful in supporting our family to continue at Fraser Woods.
This is an excellent school! I never knew what a "Montessori" school was but decided to look into it when I was looking for a pre-school for my first child. I ended up sending all three of my children to Fraser Woods -they all graduated from the middle school. It was the best choice I could have made. Mixed age classrooms, and having the same teacher for three years in a row was instrumental in their success through high school and college. They will keep their love of learning that they developed at Fraser Woods with them forever.
My daughter continues to have a great experience at FWM. She started when she was 2 1/2 and has loved her many friends and teachers for the past 9 years. As a parent I LOVE the Montessori way of educating her. FWM has been respectful of her as an individual while teaching her to become an avid learner as she adapts study skills that will help her throughout her life. Anyone thinking about a Montessori education for their child should do their research. Although Montessori has been around for over 100 years, it is a scientifically based and progressive method of learning very different from public school where every child does the same work at the same time. Montessori is not "rigor" but the children learn to conduct themselves and don't require a "collaboration" of teachers and parents to push the child. While her neighborhood public school friends were doing 1-2 hours of nightly homework with their parents my daughter and I were free to play because she had done all her work at school. Now that she is in MS she has substantial homework but she is organized and on top of her responsibilities.
Parents, Please read the negative reviews before investing in your child's education here. The teaching is "creative" and enriched by literature and art. What is sacrificed is rigor, consistency in education. Once my daughter left this school for public school, she praises her public school. She says," They teach us here. At Fraser-Woods, the teachers said to figure it out ourselves and wouldn't teach us." The head/principal is rigid and has a tight rein on the teachers, always fearful of losing tuition dollars (students). Therefore, there is a lack of communication and collaboration between the parents and the tightly controlled teachers. There is Favoritism towards children of parents who donate generously to the school. These students are extolled, given leniency, showered with attention (you will find these same children in the majority of school photos. cherished.. Those whose parents 'only' pay the $13,000 annual tuition are shuffled along and do not receive the same degree of attention and focus.
My child graduated from Fraser Woods recently and is doing phenomenal in our local public high school. I can't be any more pleased with the transition that he had. He is enrolled in mostly all honors classes. Thank you Fraser Woods for the great foundation you set for him!
I have had two children attend FWM and now that my nephew and his wife are deciding on an independent school for my nieces, my mind came right back to FWM. As an educator, myself, I knew a Montessori education would be best for my children. The Montessori experience my children had was very unique and very special as is the Montessori philosophy. Each of my children was as different as night and day. One very active, with no problems academically and socially and one, a late bloomer; quietly reserved both socially and academically. FWM s commitment to the principles of the Montessori philosophy gave both of them exactly what they needed to succeed. Today my children are adult students. One is a sophomore in college and one a senior in high school heading off to college next year. I can see in them, what they ve taken from their Fraser Woods Montessori education. It is priceless.
My children have been students at Fraser Woods Montessori for the past seven years. My husband and I are very happy with the education they have received. Their teachers have been wonderful, dedicated, and caring. We like the close community at Fraser Woods. The students have a large support network of people who are there for them. My children have learned organizational skills and public speaking skills to go along with strong academics. Our oldest recently transitioned to high school and is doing extremely well, enrolling in all but one honors class, and playing a varsity sport. The time management skills learned at Fraser Woods are being put to good use. I am very satisfied with the education they have received and, having it to do over again, I would absolutely choose Fraser Woods.
I have been a part of Fraser Woods Montessori School in one capacity or another for the past 22 years. I have had three children graduate and go on to Newtown's public school where they excelled. All my children learned to become self directed, and developed a true joy of learning-without any outside tutors or other assistance.
Summing up our Fraser Woods experience: From 1st grade and up, communication between parents and staff was a challenge. Knowing how, what and where your child was academically was also a challenge along with understanding the Montessori curriculum/activities, how to support or assist your child with homework etc. My families experience was not one of developing a "joy of learning" but instead learning how to deal with "unfriendly interactions"(bullying) by other children, but the teacher intimidation, humiliation and lack of respectful interactions by teacher role models towards the children really began in M.S. Class sizes being smaller allowed for a child to become easily isolated and left out at times, this and bullying seemed to go unnoticed by staff or it was believed these behaviors just did not happen here. Much time was lost in the academics as free time could have been better utilized during times of plays and projects that interrupted the academic classes. Most children were enrolled in Kumon for reading and math support, for those who could afford it. In all fairness, I must say we did, enjoy a few caring, dedicated teachers along our journey, sadly just a few.
Both my children attended Fraser Woods School through elementary school. They had very positive academic, social and extra-curricular experiences, and went on to be excellent students in our town's public schools. The families at the school were cooperative and collaborative, and we made long-lasting friendships with many of them. Fraser Woods was a great part of our family life.
We have had 3 children attend Fraser Woods Montessori, from age 3, until 8th grade. My kids have had many of the same teachers over the past 18 years. My older two kids both went on to Immaculate High School and The Gunnery, and did very well in high school---top of their class. My youngest son graduated in June and will be attending Avon Old Farms on a Merit Scholarship. They ALL excel in Math, Science, Theater, Humanities, French, Music (Piano and Voice) and my son received a football scholarship, from a university in New Hampshire! They are well rounded, they can carry on a conversation with anyone, and are well liked by their peers and teachers. Fraser Woods Montessori allowed my children to develop fully by providing a safe and encouraging environment for them to experience the lessons they are taught. The teachers provide a very structured classroom and they keep track of fine details on each child---just look at the report cards. I encourage anyone taking a look at FWM to come to the 8th Year Expert Project night in May you will be very impressed. FWM Middle School Students love going to school, are respectful, polite, well mannered, smart, confident, etc.
I honestly loved this school. I went to Fraser Woods School for 11 years. I have dozens and maybe even hundreds of memories from the school. I look back at all of my teachers over the years and all I want to do is thank them! The school honestly taught me so much more than any other school could. I feel like the school had matured myself more than I should have been. Classes were interesting, sports were cool! You got to choose, no try-outs or cuts. French is overall my favorite subject! The teachers in the school are phenomenal. Along with the best staff the school couldn't get any better. I am now a Sophomore at Pomperaug High-School and I already miss the school tremendously. Even transferring from such small classes to huge masses was with ease. I adapted even after never realizing what public school was like. I appreciate both my parents for sending me to this school. Over all If your considering enrolling your child, I'd say it's all worth it in the end. I have dozens if not hundreds of memories that I'll never forget. CLASS OF 2011 :) and very proud of it too!
Our family is grateful to have found this wonderful environment for our children! A place that is culturally diverse, that allows our children to academically advance at their own pace and where their curiosity leads them to, and to have that warm, nurturing environment that they wake up each day excited to go to. The curriculum throughout the various program levels are so expansive and in-depth, even at the Toddler age. I am constantly wide eyed as to what my 2 year old comes home talking about from Artic animals to the butterfly cycle, just to name a couple!
I have had two children pass through the program at Fraser Woods, and am thrilled we chose to send them! he school and the teachers have provided a transformative experience for my sons, as well as our whole family! he boys have become articulate, confident young men, believeing they can accomplish anything they choose in life. I hoped their school experience would instill a love of learning and indeed it has! Both have great aspirations for the future. Worth all the sacrifices to send them to this private school! hank you all
Communication between teachers and parents is very poor. The school seems to care so much about raising money that they forget about so many families making a large financial sacrifice to send their children here. Education is okay but definitely not what you'd expect it to be. Any concerns I have about my children are not handled properly and teachers seem to brush them aside... Overall, not worth the $17,000.
I grew up in NYC's public schools and my wife comes from the Catholic school traditions of Western New York. We came to see the Fraser-Woods Montessori School as the perfect place to address all the things we each found to be important. If there was a better school our son would be in it. This place is amazing!

Some of the most popular ballet music was were written by Tchaikovsky, and count among the master's most famous works. The tormented genius, found relief in writing these brilliant, featherweight works, conjuring up fantasy worlds of feel good fairy tales.
A generous selection of the best loved, most famous cantatas, works which have for centuries been a source of strength and consolation for many generations, and hopefully will be for many to come.
A great compilation of Classical Hits, Orchestral Favourites, that still have a chance to find a new audience, because there are still hoards of people who have never heard, Handel's Hallelujah, Khatchaturian's Sabre Dance, Strauss' Blue Danube or Orff's O Fortuna.
All in all, this is an interesting and musically mostly rewarding disc which is well worth investigating. (Musicweb International July 2014)

Matthew 22:34-46
The atmosphere is not one of lively and amiable scholarly debate; it is hostile, and the intent is to discredit Jesus. Much is at stake—Jesus' authority, his role and his identity. Tom Long has called this Jesus' final exam, because it will be this test that ultimately dooms Jesus in the minds of the scholarly authorities.
Romans 1:16-17, 3:22b-28; Matthew 7:21-29
Justification by grace through faith has been a perennial theme throughout the history of the people of God. St.
Opportunities for reconciliation
In his wonderful memoir Open Secrets, Richard Lischer describes a personal conflict that developed between Lischer and Leonard, a lay leader in the congregation. Their conflict had the potential to erupt into a major split in the congregation. But each man remained committed to the ministry of the church.
No one is beyond the pale of redemption
Nothing is gained and much is lost if we describe the terrorists as evil," a friend of mine argued recently. I disagree. Our difference can be traced back to a division in moral philosophy. My friend is a moral expressivist. He views moral judgments as expressions of feelings, desires and wants.

Love the colors and pattern. This rug really perked up a monotone room. Delivery was great and timely. I will say that after 2 weeks, the rug is getting"pullers" in the loops.

Looks nice...but DO NOT buy this rug if you have a dog or cat. The looped pile can get caught in their nails and leave pulls...love the colors but not the fact that it's already ruined after 2 weeks.RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY A gnu o o o FREE COMFITEK KE rE 81 o o FR1F. rOMFI'TEK cr pwf. si JL MONDAY, AUGUST 21 , 2006 wsusignpost.com VOLUME 69 ISSUE 9 News in brief Second annualWild-cat block party The(p 1 hey Ye d3C Swenson Gym, Stromberg to reopen doors By Cynthia Loveland managing editor The Signpost August 28 marks the opening date for both the Swenson Gym and the C. William Stromberg Center. The Swenson Gym has undergone major renovation for a year and a half - shifting its focus from a gymnasium to an academic facility. New classrooms, faculty offices, teaching laboratories and an elevated track have been added, and the pool sports a new liner and gutter. TheStrombergCenterreopens with newly resurfaced track racquetball floors. Normally tracks need to be resurfaced every eight - 10 years. It has been 16 years for the Stromberg Center track. According to Wendy Jones, Weber State University fitness program coordinator, because the track resurface took so long, the basketball floor resurface will have to wait until the holiday break. After the Swenson Gym closed, all classes that were held in the Swenson Gym moved to the Stromberg Center or Wasatch Hall. When the Stromberg Center closed, patrons had to find alternative places to work out. Some have taken their workouts to the Promontory Tower fitness center, which offers stationary bicycles, ellipticals, weight machines and free weights. Jessica Dyer, WSU athletic training student and Promontory Tower fitness center employee, said although the volume of patrons has increased since the other gyms closed, people have remained positive about the renovations. "I think most people realize that it'll be worth it having the gym closed for remodeling," Sft undies V. n ."1 PHOTO BY MATT GLASS THE SIGNPOST (Upper left) Caitlyn Anderson plays volleyball in the Swenson Gym. (Upper right) Jonnie Gale jogs around the old track in the C. William Stromberg Center. The Swenson Gym has been closed for 15 months and the C.William Stromberg Center has been closed for one month. It will re-open this fall. she said. "There were a couple of people when it was first announced that were wondering why it needed to be closed, but once it was explained why, they were in support of it." Dyer said students have found new places to work out, not only at the Promontory Tower fitness center, but also the fitness centers at the University Village Community Center and Davis Campus fitness center and the William H. Child outdoor track. But some students feel the frustration of the temporary displacement. "It's been a pretty big step down," said Jon Schade, WSU communication student. "Kind of like a demotion - a pretty big demotion at that." He said limited space at Promontory Tower fitness center is an issue and the stationary bikes are outdated. He looks forward to the new basketball floor the renovated Stromberg Center will offer, and the racquetball courts and ' equipment it offered before. WSU alumna Jennifer Garcia-Barragan works out in the Promontory Tower fitness center since the Stromberg Center closed and said she's looking v forward to trying out the newly resurfaced track in the Stromberg Center. Other patrons moved their workouts to the University Village fitness center, which offers stationary bikes, ellipticals and exercise balls. Because student fees contribute to gym operating costs, students don't need to pay additional membership fees to use the fitness centers located around WSU. And students are not the only ones who can take advantage of the newly renovated fitness centers. Spouses and children of WSU students can use the facilities for a fee. Weber State University alumni and community members can See Fitness page 34 Wildcat athlete gets scratched from men's basketball team By Jon McBride sports editor The Signpost In his initial press conference last spring, new Weber State University Men's Basketball Head Coach Randy Rahe said he would do everything he could to keep as many of the WSU players who played under former Coach Joe Cravens to stay and play under his leadership. But he made it very clear he was not going to put up with any players who did not want to be here. According to Rahe, Junior Forward Tyler Jones did not want to be here. He was recently released from the team. Jones disputes Rahe's decision to release him, stating that he did indeed want to play at WSU. "First of all, Tyler I don't think was totally comfortable with where we wanted him to play on the court," Rahe said. "He decided to go home and kind of went AWOL on us for about two weeks." Rahe said his going AWOL was evidence Jones did not want to be here. Jones was one of only four players who actually stayed to play under Rahe. In an interview with The Signpost in April, Jones said he was extremely excited to stay at Weber State and play under Coach Rahe. He was the only player to attend Rahe's initial press conference. Jones said in an article in the August 3 edition of the Standard Examiner he had the coaching staff's "blessing" to go home to Colorado to be with family. He said he probably wouldn't have gone home if he knew he would be kicked off the team. In an interview with The Signpost after that article ran, Rahe said that Jones stating he had his "blessing" is a "crock." He said Jones never received the coach's permission to go home. it ii.r OA r on Weber State University basketball player Tyler Jones shoots a free throw in the purple and white game last season. That game would turn out to be the only time he got to play in front of a WSU crowd. Jones was released from the basketball team after red-shirting all of last year. "I wouldn't have given him my blessing when he had a test the next day and he had weights and conditioning and then two days later he had another test and weights and conditioning," Rahe said. "He did not have anybody's blessing to go home, he just decided to take off and just wasn't comfortable with what we've asked him to do and he's decided to go. After I didn't hear from him for quite a few days I just assumed that he wasn't interested in coming back and "After I didn't hear from him for quite a few days I just assumed that he wasn't interested in coming back and so we just dismissed him along the way." Randy Rahe, men's basketball head coach so we just dismissed him along the way." Jones said he was under the impression that since he was taking an online course, the coaching staff was fine with him taking his tests from Colorado. Jones came to WSU from a very prestigious basketball program at St. John's University in New York City. He red-shirted all of last season at WSU with the hope of playing under Cravens this season. Many throughout the Big Sky Conference thought he had the potential to be the Big Sky Player of the Year this season. Rahe's disciplined approach he preached from day one does not appear to be fading. "So basically we put some expectations on him, he didn't meet those, and we decided it was probably in his best interest to pursue some other stuff," Rahe said. "I think it's best for everybody, I really do. We're going to do things a certain way around here and we're not going to cater to anybody. I don't care who you think you are, everybody is going to be treated the same and be held accountable, and if somebody can't meet See Jones page 34 Students and community gear up for crowded parking By Maria Villasenor news editpr The Signpost Casey Parrish is trying to avoid buying a parking permit. There's no big problem while it's still warm he rides his motorcycle to Weber State University. "It's better parking than handicapped people get and don't have to pay," said the mechanical engineering junior about the free-for-motorcycle parking spots. But when the weather is not so swell, Parrish drives. He used to leave his car at the Dee Events Center and shuttle in when parking was free there. But last year, parking permits were required at the Dee, and Parrish decided not to buy a pass and risk getting a ticket. ' He got five of them. Parrish said he then called WSU Parking Services to tell them he would pay those off, and the day he went to pay the fines he left his car in the Pay Parking Lot and it got clapped with a red boot. After spending $200 paying off his tickets and boot fees, Parrish said he would probably spend the extra money to park at the Dee for the semester. But he didn't say that would be the end to his parking problems. "Even when you get here at 7 o'clock, all the parking spots are gone," Parrish said. "It drives me nuts." Only those willing to pay the extra money for an "A" pass can guarantee themselves a parking spot since only one permit is sold for every spot. See Parking page 28 Weber State University Student Involvement and Leadership sponsors the second annual wildcat block party at the Stewart Bell Tower. The party will begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1 and will continue until midnight. The party will be home to several activities throughout the day starting with morning yoga and a mile run at 6 a.m. From 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., students can get stuffed on pancakes, also at the Bell Tower. Booths will then be allowed to set up and may remain open until 3 p.m. Other events will include a pep rally to liven school spirit, contests and demonstrations, give-a-ways and informational booths. At 11 a.m. Students can enjoy BBQ cooking for no charge. The charge for acuity and staff to eat is $1 per person. Everyone els is $2 to eat. Night activities will commence at 6 p.m. and will include a concert, Dance and a movie. Accelerated Nurs-ingprogram ready to speed away in fall The Weber State University department of Nursing begins a new program this fall at the Weber State University Davis campus. The program was designed for students who already have college degrees and want to get through nursing school as quickly as possible. Demands from the community to provide more people in the nursing career has allowed for the program to take place. A degree in nursing that would normally take two years to complete will now take only one year. Thirty students will participate in the program. MastersofartsinEnglisli appro ved to begin infall The Master of arts in English program was approved last month by the state board of regents. Applications are already being accepted and students have already been accepted into the program and are already registered for classes. The proposal set before the Board of Regents to request the program was called a model example of how all proposals from universities should be. Classes will begin in the fall for the new program. Shepherd Union Buildinggels divided The Breezeway which once connected the west and east wings of the Shepherd Union Building is gone. Construction workers have been working diligently throughout the summer to remove the breezeway. Summer students were able to watch the face of the SUB breezeway change drastically from day to day. The breezeway was torn down to allow construction crews to begin construction on a new commons area that will allow the SUB to become one building and give students more places to socialize and study.

As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Chilean, Anyone?
"Chile has established a worldwide reputation over the last decade for popular, bargain-priced varietal wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot doing well, also."
...Wine Spectator
The Question
You're buying a $10 wine for dinner tonight. Should you pick up a Chilean, or an equally-priced competitor from California, or even Argentina? To get an idea, my panel tasted blind eight Chileans with a few outsiders sprinkled among them. Here are the best bottles.
a) The bottles were all wrapped, so the panel had no indication of which were from Chile. Yet, the ratings of that country's wines were remarkably similar.
b) Since neither the outsiders nor the Chileans showed any clear superiority, tonight I'm buying whichever one I can find on sale.
Headstart - It's ironic that the California wine industry is more advanced than the Chilean. How much earlier did Spanish missionaries bring the vine to Chile than they did to the Golden State? Over two hundred years!!

lovely but heavy for travel I was really pleased. It is a lovely jacket and fine for a dress-up evening. I was surprised by its weight and would think twice about packing it if I was packing light. August 7, 2013
Ran so small I liked it but had to return it because it was a full size smaller than what I ordered. The lining also bunched up and made it uncomfortable. It is a nice looking fabric but the styling was off. May 31, 2013
