CRS Rice Bowl is Catholic Relief Services' Lenten faith-in-action program for parishes, schools and families. The program invites Catholics to live in solidarity with our poorest and most vulnerable brothers and sisters through the three Lenten pillars of praying, fasting, and almsgiving. Participants journey throughout the forty days of Lent with the daily reflections included in the Lenten Calendar, offering small, suggested sacrificial gifts to fill their Rice Bowls as they read and watch Stories of Hope from individuals and communities whose lives have been changed by CRS Rice Bowl contributions. Since 1975, Catholics have been using CRS Rice Bowl to meditate on the love Jesus Christ demonstrates in his Passion and Resurrection and to imitate Jesus' love for the world through concrete, sacrificial giving to our brothers and sisters in need.
Learn more about How to Practice Lent.
Check with your parish or school and tell them that you want CRS Rice Bowl to be a part of your community's Lenten observances. Parishes and schools may order CRS Rice Bowl materials free of charge online or by calling 1-800-222-0025. Look through our website to find resources that will help bring Lent to life in your parish, school, religious education program, youth ministry program or other faith formation group!

The writing's on the wall for David Shearer – and it's in Tapu Misa's hand
"No one has the guts to challenge Shearer – they want him to jump. And that is why Shearer should stay."Featured comment
The writing's on the wall for David Shearer – and it's in Tapu Misa's hand.
A quite remarkable thing happened this morning. Herald columnist Tapu Misa gave it as her view that David Shearer should stand down as leader of the Labour Party.
Misa is the finest columnist in the country – intelligent, informed, rational, considered in her judgements. More importantly, she is never cruel or unkind. Unlike most other columnists, including myself from time to time, she never sets out to wound. In keeping perhaps with her strong religious beliefs, she is ever a charitable critic.
Her politics are to the liberal left.
For these reasons I believe she will have thought long and hard before sending this morning's column to the Herald for publication. It will not have been an easy decision. I can only assume that, after long deliberation, she concluded that this was something that, in the interests of the Labour Party and the country, just had to be said.
Misa's message is by no means new. The opinion that Shearer, however decent, however nice, is the wrong man for the job, is now regularly expressed by both right and left-wing commentators. Shearer claims not to be bothered by this groundswell of disfavour, but he is either in denial or putting on a brave front. It must be a dismal experience to be subjected day in, day out, to such relentless public humiliation.
What is both new and remarkable is that Misa, albeit reluctantly, has joined the chorus of opinion that Shearer is harming rather than helping Labour's cause and that he cannot continue to lead the party. The writing on the wall could not now be clearer.
It has been my view, expressed in numerous posts on this site, that the Labour caucus made a serious mistake in selecting Shearer as leader in preference to David Cunliffe. They are now paying the price for the infantile thinking of the 'Anyone but Cunliffe' brigade.
It has also been my expressed view that Shearer's image as a nice but bumbling and inarticulate political leader, could not be repaired. That would require a rewiring of his brain, in effect a personality transplant, a feat beyond the most skilled media trainer. Even the redoubtable Ian Fraser could apparently not pull it off.
As it approaches its annual conference, the Labour caucus will be comforting itself with the thought that they don't need to concern themselves with Shearer's deficiencies as leader; National will lose the 2014 election to a left-wing coalition. They can sleep-walk their way to victory.
That strikes me as a very dangerous non-strategy. It fails to take into account that Shearer's leadership is losing the party support now, that it will continue to lose the party support and, most importantly, that Shearer has no chance of besting Key either on the hustings or in the live television debates that play an important role in influencing (in particular) undecided and swinging voters in an election. Key will crucify Shearer in those debates.
As an advisor to Helen Clark during the 2008 election I learnt to my cost the danger of underestimating Key as a debater. My view and the view of Helen's other advisors was that Key would be no match for the Prime Minister. He was a new boy and she was a seasoned practitioner. She was 'Minister for Everything' and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of every portfolio. She would make mincemeat of this upstart. Key, it turned out, had been hiding his light under a bushel. He was aggressive, interruptive and in his element. Helen lost the first debate and we had to regroup.
Why is this relevant? Because David Shearer could not hold a candle to Helen Clark as a debater. That is why I say Key will crucify him in any face to face debate. It's already happening in Parliament.
So here's what I think should happen: Shearer should announce at the Labour Party Conference that he has told caucus he wishes to step down as leader and will do so as soon as a replacement has been chosen. To avoid the inevitable chaos (and possible collapse of the Labour Party) which will result from the implementation of their proposed new rules for choosing a leader (which could be tested as early as February of next year), caucus should quickly select David Cunliffe to take them through the next election. Cunliffe is the only person for the job. There is no-one else.
Yes, I know, there's a squadron of pigs flying over the Beehive as I write these words. But I really would prefer not to have to say 'told you so' again late some night in November 2014.

Comments and questions62
Maybe Shearer isn't popular, but at least he's not hated by the public. I wouldn't say that about Cunliffe.
The reason the public doesn't hate (or really like) Shearer is because no one knows who he is! That is the key problem!
I absolutely agree with your comments about Tapu Misa. I am a follower of hers and she is always on the ball. I am not a labour fan but I agree with your thoughts on shearer. He needs to have the balls, intelligence and quick wit like winston peters who is the only effective opposition at the moment...apart from the greens from time to time. the greens however benefti from more media coverage.
Cunliffe may be disliked by the rank and file. But he IS THE ONLY PERSON CAPABLE. So get over your pettiness and support him.
I cannot agree that Tapu Misa is the finest columnist in the country. Apart from her hard left politics - surely any firm political view is a bad thing for a columnist - she is far too opinionated.
columnists should not have opinions, afterall. it is not their job
If columnists didn't have options what would they write?
They could write facts - perhaps with an opinion that is well balanced detailing pro's and con's from both left and right side of politics...
...but that would require investigative journalism prowess and an ability to stop being a shriller for union/Labour Party propaganda.
Remember - the 4th estate don't "make" the news - they report it - in a balanced way - or at least they're supposed to....
They could try writing 'FACTS', and leave us, the reading public, to form our own opinions.
Much more preferable than the current practice of telling us what we are/should be thinking.
The real reason for this opposition within against David Shearer is because he's too right wing. It's tragic that the Labour party is tearing itself apart and then it's supporters/members rationalizing the motives for it.
"The writing's on the wall", Edwards reckons? More like a headstone.
I've never heard of Tapu Misa. Unfortunately it seems yesterday man Brian Edwards had.Pay no attention; just find an alternative if you really feel the need - one who's not Cunliffe. There isn't one - just like there's no alternative to Key.
Why should anyone take any notice of Misa, she's a far Left wing visitor to NZ?
#2 Anonymous is absolutely right. Tapu Misa is an out and out left wing socialist commentator. She is nothing like the finest columnist in the country. Only a fellow leftie like Brian Edwards could call her that. But then the Herald is becoming a hotbed of left wing socialist commentators in its new (appropriately) tabloid format - Tapu Misa, Bryan Gould, Toby Manhire, Brian Rudman, Petyer Lyons. Try submitting anything that takes a different point of view to these columnists and see if you can it published. No chance!
Sorry Tim, but there is worse to come. Bill English is being groomed as Key's successor.
With the Herald being a left wing news center it must be hard seeing the main party slumbering.
You obviously do not read the herald on a regular basis, because if you had you would have noticed that most of its writer's including the editor is a national supporters.
When the chips are down you need to raise to the occasion. Shearer should grow some spine and distance himself from ABC and make his own decisions. Now they are setting his agenda. He need to tell the public what he stands for. Party is been driven to the ground by Grant's ambition to become next Prime Minister. Goff's revenge against Cunliffe for letting him down during the election. If Shearer is man enough he will send Grant to backbenches and put his stamp on the party. Do you think Grant will have the guts to stage a coup. I doubt it. It will be interesting how Shearer comes out as the leader this weekend.
I agree - Tapu Misa is pretty good. I don't agree with everything she says, but still....since The Herald is little more than a women's magazine these days, she about the best they've got.
As for Labour - they lost touch with the 'working classes' years ago....I can't see them getting with it anytime soon. They may as well pack up and move out, and leave it to The Greens....
I dont know why anyone should have concerns about a Shearer led labour party when we effectively have a John Key labour led one.
The man doesn't know how to be natural, his smile and facial contortions are too Romney-esque ... insincere ... if that is all the labour party can conjure up they are supremely screwed ... there are better people ... there is no way that dorky man is going to win an election in NZ.
Wow !! You absolutely nailed it ! If Cunliffe is their only hope, then they have none.
Smarmy is the word that always comes to mind for me.
Or Labour could do a deal with NZF and have Winnie as PM, that would woik.
John Tamihere will lead Labour into the next election
Not experienced enough - yet, we need a wise old hand who knows it backwards to begin the change to a more pragmatic all hands to the export pump re invention of ourselves. Either way New Zealand's first Maori Prime Minister has a great ring to it.
Tapu Misa columns are biased -which is fine. But ".. informed, rational, considered in her judgements"? - Utter nonsense.
If Cunliffe had picked the right deputy in his quest for the leadership he probably would easily have beaten Shearer to the post
Dream on Brian -----but you have the intellect to do better than let your extreme ideology blind your professional judgement. Tapu Misa is not a great journalist and will have no effect on the parliamentary scene
She is a p,easing hard leftie writing utter garbage for a left wing rag the could well be renamed The Standard.
The great plus for Mr Shearer is that he has the intellect to be balanced and agree with National policies if they make sense rather than the standard hippo critical bashing of every policy announcement regardless of its merit.
May I suggest you should be rather ashamed of yourself for being so complicit in your engagement with Helen's. Labour Party that created a nation of folk that only think they need government help and cannot manage on their own and thus must vote Labour We like to think we are an innovative country but weare a welfare economy as a consequence of 10 years of that government.
Brian pleae put your excellent abilities to much better use and effect
Short of a stunning bravura performance -- which I can't see happening -- Shearer's attendance at this weekend's Labour Party Conference, is going to be a re-enactment of Custer's Last Stand or Napoleon's Waterloo. And he's having to cross the Rubicon to get there.
I thought Brian Edwards had been pensioned off years ago after his hagiography of Helen Clark. Anyone he recommends, in the eyes of many, would be someone to be avoided.
He has also completely missed the point that John Key has apparently always wanted to be someone important - from the age of 12 when he aimed to be Prime Minister.
Being wealthy with a large yacht is not the same thing, not when there is a large ego that needs feeding, and send some of the deplorable decisions he has made and inflicted on his Cabinet seem very much to be with his eye on the main chance on the world stage after New Zealand. What the basically anti-the West United Nations has pushed for - Key has endorsed- even against the wishes of the majority of New Zealanders. And I wonder why one of his first acts was to reintroduce the knighthoods - which of course had gone to so many of the wrong people. Key thinks a long way ahead... And he's a great self promoter. Go figure.
And I wonder why Edwards is now pushing hard a columnist most people have never heard of- she is liberal of course? Again, go figure.
Cassandra, you're going to have to explain how John Key's ambition to be the PM bears any relation whatsoever to the question of David Shearer's role as leader of the Labour Party. Or anything else, for that matter.
If you've never heard of Tapu Misa that means you don't read the Herald. Nothing wrong with that, but don't mistake your own lack of awareness for someone else's problem.
Anti-the-west-UN? Ummm ... this is the same organisation currently waging war in Kosovo, the Congo, Afghanistan, Lebanon ... practically anywhere but America, or anywhere else remotely Western; whilst holding war criminals to account whilst America wrecks social, economic and military chaos in vast stretches of the globe on the basis of an ideological dispute!
Cassandra - I agree Key did give knighthoods to some wrong people.
Key / National and all of NZ Inc should demand that Cullen give back his baubbles - and then he should be made Chairman and CEO of NZ Rail and made to make it work - without any more tax payer largesse or involvement.
You got one thing right...
When will we see the person and not the PR image, and form an opinion on that? Shearer is a person of high moral fibre and integrity. Key is just a smiling face, a puppet for big business who conveniently forgets anything which shows him for what he is.
Extraordinary. Yes, the minute David Parker a) threw in the towel and b) endorsed Shearer, he effectively brought to an end the benefits Labour stood to reap from running an effective, policy-based campaign (Goff could never win, so they did well to focus on economic nettles).
If he'd run the length of the leadership challenge (or not entered it in the first place), then the policy debate they'd stirred up in the 2011 election campaign would have been continued through the leadership test, to their long term advantage. His withdrawal reverted it to a shallow, personality-based contest, which really amounted to who was friendlier and less challenging, just when they needed the opposite (an innovative go getter).
Labour dislike Cunliffe precisely because he is ambitious. Yet, unlike Robertson, he has the experience to justify it.
When National loses the next election as undoubtedly it will, then Russell Norman will be next Prime Minister leading a hotch potch MMP coalition. Shearer will be Trade and Winston Foreign Minister.
Jacinda ARDERN is the one and only savior, capable of beating John KEY, eh?
She may get a few votes for being eye candy ... but beyond that forget it
Makes you wonder how someone reasonably good-looking on the outside, could be so tainted and ethically corrupted to want to follow failed political ideologies that corrupt entire societies whilst attempting to pose as the cure?
At least she has a nice house she can afford though...
Your vote (together with your buddies) is important to get her to defeat John KEY, before you and other Labour Party supporters regret it.
It is important to the effective working of our "democracy" that the Govt of whatever stripe has a robust opposition.
This has been lacking lately and the effect is showing in Key's arrogance.
Let's hope the left sort it out shortly.
John Tamihere will end up in the National party,his rightful home.
Perhaps he would make a good leader when Key goes?
The shipwreck, that was Helen Clark's Third Labour Government, left behind much flotsam and jetsam in the roiling surf; much of it is still to wash up on to the shore, to be gathered and burned in a bonfire. A bonfire of the vanities to incinerate all the bloated Labour caucus egos, is what's required.
New Zealand First stands for One country,ONE people,ALL equal.NO other party has the simple basic "gut" to stand for the issue of New Zealand.
At Least David Shearer is an honest man,unlike others found so so wanting in and for leadership values for NZ.
"Honest man" YEAH RIGHT!
Let's just ask Mr. Roofus Painter about the GCSB Tape Shearer was banging on about attempting to play "Gotcha Politics" - when it all backfired and left Shearer looking like an even bigger clown with even less credibility.
I wonder if the same person setting him front and centre in that fiasco will be anywhere near the imminent leadership coup? Time will tell...
I'm not a Labour supporter and I think whilst the Green ideologies are quite good, their leadership is sorely lacking. I was hugely relieved when Cunliffe didn't get the top Labour job, as he was the only person capable of taking on Key. He is a strong communicator and a smart cookie. I don't like him as he comes across as an arrogant a$$ and sometimes you just want to punch him in the face, but that's not the point. Labour were fools to vote against him, but it's indicative of the sort of Muppets that reside in that nanny state party. I'd be surprised if Shearer stood down before the next election. He could just turn around his misfortunes of late. He's had a baptism of fire and could swing back. Time will tell. And regarding the Bill English comment, ha ha funny, the guy is vacant and doesn't stand a chance at another leadership shot. As for singing the praises of the Herald columnist in such a way, have you lost your marbles, Brian? Aren't we all good and opinionated? Indeed. Politics does that to you.
The ABC faction have a lot to answer for. At least Cunliffe put (and continues to put) his hat in the ring. The rest of them prefer their own self interest to that of their constituents. Hypocrites.
Sounds like an Auckland conversation to me. Who TF is Tapu Misa? If the Labour party is doomed by the leadership of wotsisname, then long may he lead!

The silent auction opens at 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 20 and closes at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, July 21. Tagged items will go on sale after the awards program, which begins at 5 p.m. on Friday. More than 300 pieces of artwork created by Studio2000 students will be for sale including: one-of-a-kind mosaics, original oil paintings and hand-made tapestries. Prices range from $10 to $300. Proceeds benefit Studio2000 and are reinvested in art supplies and educational materials.
A new and exciting partnership was forged this year with Louisville Stoneware. The world-famous pottery company donated 200 pieces of unfinished pottery for the students to design and decorate. The apprentices created 36 unique four-piece place settings that will be unveiled at the show. Students also designed stoneware lamp bases and nesting bowls.
"Students from our program represent 25 different high schools and come from 20 zip codes and six countries," Abramson said. "The one thing all of these students have in common is a passion for art and a desire to have a positive outlet for their creative energies."
Participants in the program are chosen from every Louisville public, private and parochial school.
"That's what makes Studio2000 special," said Bob Markert, Studio2000 director. "Each student brings something special to the studio, a unique perspective. Students learn from the professional artists and from each other."
The Office of Youth Development created Studio2000 to connect teens that have a passion for art with professional artists. The initiative is modeled after a similar program in Chicago. Since its inception, Studio2000 teachers have provided artistic and career direction to more than 350 high school students. Studio2000 students receive weekly paychecks for their participation in the program.
Teenagers have received direction from world-renowned artists like Louisville's own, Ed Hamilton. Studio2000 graduates now attend some of the most prestigious art schools in the country including: the Chicago Art Institute, Savannah College of Art and Design, Purdue University, Columbus College of Art and Design, and the Maryland Institute College of Art and Design.
For people unable to attend the sale, gift certificates may be purchased for use throughout the year at the studio located at 942 East Kentucky Street.

Mediterranean Beef Rump Roast in the Slow Cooker
I made the most delicious, gluten-free roast braised in my slow cooker the other day. It was lean and flavorful and it sliced easily so it was easy to serve. The juices were fragrant with the Mediterranean seasoning and the savory vegetables. And, to top it all off, the sandwiches that I will make from the leftovers will be wonderful… We've had this before… Many times!
When I did thicken the juices to make a gluten-free gravy the way my husband likes it, we really enjoyed it. I used sweet rice flour for thickening this time. But, arrowroot powder or potato starch flour would work too if you're cooking paleo.
A little while before serving time, I stirred the thickener into some of the juices and then stirred that back into the crockpot. It made such an easy gravy! There was plenty of flavor in the juices, so without any thickening it would still be excellent if you are on a low-carb diet.

If you have been putting off buying that fridge or washing machine, this weekend could be the time to buy. It's a sales tax holiday for energy efficient appliances. Stores like Sears are gearing up for the next several days of sales.
One employee said that last year it almost felt like Christmas time in the appliance section, and they are expecting this year to be no different. The appliance must be for non-commercial use and cost less than $2,500 to qualify. But the savings don't stop at the register - the appliances are made to help you save long term.
Sara White, a sales associate at Sears, said, "Old refrigeration you're looking at $70 a year to run, old laundry to run about $60 a year where the new ones run about $12 to $45 in refrigeration."
Randy Smith, a shopper at Sears, says buying energy saving appliances always pay off. "You know, you save for today for tomorrow, and it just makes sense to save."
One Sears employee says it doesn't take a tax free weekend to bring in energy conscious customers.
Eric Seay, an appliance associate at Sears, said, "More of the customers now are very concerned about Energy Star appliances so more and more of our customers are energy conscious, that's what they are looking for when they come through the door."
The sales tax holiday is taking place all across the state of Virginia until Monday evening. Employees at Sears say they expect Monday to be their busiest day because it's the final day of the deal - and a holiday - so if you are trying to beat the traffic you may want to go on Saturday or Sunday.

I mean, there are just videogames renders and the typical flash movements but i like a lot the idea. so I will give you a 3.5 stars but a 4 as points because i like this flash
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars April 24, 2012
It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's been done a million times and adding the dragon balls at the end made it even more like ones that are already made.

I don't think I've ever (until now) written for a publication before I've ever actually seen a copy. I wrote an article on the death of John Updike for a new journal The City, published by friends at Houston Baptist University. The issue just arrived in the mail, and (apart from my contribution, of course) it is truly excellent.
The summer 2009 issue includes articles by Wilfred McClay on the soul in the city, Hunter Baker on science and secularism, Peter Augustine Lawler on Solzhenitsyn, and Robert P. George on Obama and abortion. The issue also features a symposium on "younger evangelicals."
The symposium includes this quote from Francis Beckwith: "If the young evangelicals are really serious about 'struggle' and 'authenticity,' they should avoid drama queens like Donald Miller and look at those who have really lived it." This is in the midst of Beckwith's argument that "authenticity" is being treated by some evangelicals as one more commodity to be acquired in the whirl of their "image-hypnotized" lives.
You should subscribe to this journal. Kudos to Houston Baptist University, and to their president Robert Sloan for leading this great school to this kind of intellectual leadership.

Kounkaku 1903 – Shimane Prefecture
Most people who visit the beautiful city of Matsue in Shimane Prefecture on the north coast of Japan make sure to check out the famous Matsue Castle. The castle is one of the more beautiful wood and stone castles in Japan and the black building contrasts beautifully with the green of the garden and the blue sky. It also contrasts beautifully with another of Matsue's famous buildings, the splendid white Kounkaku (興雲閣), also knowns by the locals as the Russian Palace when it was built in 1903. Local business worked together to raise money for the building, which in those days cost 13 489 yen, or 10 million yen in today's value which must be exceptionally good value. The hope was to have a building grand enough to welcome the Emperor during his visit to Matsue but unfortunately his visit was stopped due to the outbreak of the war with Russia in 1905. However the locals got nearly the same honor in 1907 when the then Crown Prince Yoshihito visited (the soon to be Emperor Taisho).
The building itself is an important example of the uniquely Japanese style of architecture called Gyofu Architecture, that was common in Japan between 1869 and 1905. It is in essence buildings made by Japanese carpenters to imitate the style of western buildings they had only seen in drawings, plans and photographs. Many of the layouts, details and all the construction techniques are made in pure Japanese style, but in a way that looks foreign. The term Gyofu is today considered very negative and many architects prefer to call it Early Meiji Period Style, not as descriptive but more neutral. For a long time these buildings were considered naive and embarrassing even though they were usually very popular with locals who saw them as a sign of modernity and prosperity. Many government offices, police stations, hospitals and schools were built in this style until the early 20th century when western and western trained architects and engineers started constructing properly western buildings in the western manner. Personally though I love this style of architecture, it is informed, it is local, it is vernacular and a very attractive combination between east and west. Although proper western architecture also has some shining examples in Japan (like the Mitsubishi Ichigokan in Tokyo), these Gyofu buildings have so much more heart. And above all, they are in every case deeply loved by the people who live near them, and that is one of the pillars of an ethical and ecological society. Here is another example of perhaps the most famous Gyoufu building in Japan, the Kaichi Gakkou in Nagano Prefecture's Matsumoto City.
Inside the building there are a few modern pieces of artwork reflecting the history of Matsue City, for example the grand portrait of the Daimyo (lord of a province) Horio Yoshiharu (堀尾吉晴 1542–1611) who was one of the most famous Samurai in Japanese history. You can't tell from the portrait but he had quite a life! As a young man he caught a wild boar with his bare hands and this brought him to the attention of the most powerful lord in Japan who was interested in what the young warrior would become. In battle after battle he proved his strength and cunning both as a warrior and as a leader. In 1599, at just the perfect moment, he switches sides in the great civil war that was raging in Japan at that time, to the side of the eventual winner, Tokuhawa Ieayasu (the first Shogun ruler of Japan). As a reward he was appointed the first head of the noble family that would rule modern day Shimane prefecture.
Taisha Station Interiors – Shimane Prefecture
This is the interior of the wonderful but now disused Taisha Station in Shimane Prefecture on the northern coast of Japan. The constructions is a combination of western post and beam and Japanese finishing details and exterior roofing, giving it a strangely familiar feel. It does not feel like a typical countryside station but more like a proper waiting hall. It is easy to imagine groups of people and families gathering here to pick up relatives coming to visit over the holidays or to see of young people leaving for university or work in the big city! Take a look at the destinations list and you will see that this station was unusually well connected, there are fares to most places in western Japan and all the way to Tokyo on local train routes. It must have been an interesting journey in the time of steam powered locomotives.
Economists might also find the fare table quite interesting, as it shows us a little bit about how much inflation Japan has had in these 24 years since the table was last updated. Practically zero. This corresponds to one of the stupidest foreign language media hoaxes about Japan, the myth of "the lost decades". I am old enough to remember back in the day when inflation was something universally detested and governments won elections on their "promises" to fight inflation. These days it is the complete opposite and governments fight to establish some sort of inflation, and they often point to the example of "the Japanese lost decades". Here is an interesting article debunking the story. Or as my Dutch friend mentioned upon visiting Japan for the first time: "for a country two and a half decades into a recession, there sure seems to be a lot of construction going on". Indeed.
Taisha Station Building – Shimane
In the sleepy little town of Izumo, in western Shimane Prefecture on the north coast of Japan you'll find one the most beautiful examples of train station architecture in Japan. The Taisha station was inaugurated in 1912 as the first stop of the JR Taisha Line. The original station was much humbler and in 1924 the present station building was completed to better reflect the important national status of the town of Izumo and the grand Izumotaisha shrine. It is said that the station was designed by a young man, Mr. Sota who was only 25 years old. The station has three tracks and two platforms that are unusually long for such a minor station, the reason being that the station had to accommodate special long distance trains all the way from Tokyo and even chartered private trains. There was a direct line to Tokyo running regularly in the 1950s, and special direct trains well into the 1980s. It must have been a very interesting, and slow, journey! In the peak of its use, 1960, the station saw about 2000 passengers a day, but it was gradually superseded by other train lines and on the last of March in 1990 the last train pulled into the station. Townspeople and visitors to the shrine shifted over to the 1930 Izumo Taishamae station about a 10 minute walk from the Taisha station (which I blogged about last year).
The station is designed in the style of a shrine and as such does not fit into any contemporary style of architecture, which makes it look absolutely timeless, coming as it did between the Japanese Neoclassical style of the Meiji Period and the Imperial Style of the 1930s. It is no wonder it was declared a national building treasure in 2004 and 2009. The building is ecologically designed using local materials of wood, clay infill, lime, glass and stone, a far cry from the energy intensive modern concrete buildings.
Manga Statues – Hajime Ningen Gon
Japan takes it's cartoon culture seriously! Most of the famous manga and anime characters can be found as bronze statues around Japan, mostly at the home town of the creator or where the manga takes place. Some of the most famous manga statues would be the Gundam statue in Odaiba or the Kochikame statue in Kameari, or the Godzilla statue in Tokyo's Hibiya district. These two statues are of the 1965 comic Hajime Ningen Gyatoruzu, but everybody just knows it after the name of the main character, seven year old caveman boy Gon (hajime ningen means "first man"). This one is in front of the Matsue JR Station in Shimane prefecture, the hometown of Shunji Sonoyama (1935-1992). Caveman Gon was on Japanese TVs regularly from 1974 and I think most Japanese over the age of 40 knows some of the catch phrases of this character by heart!

The correct answer is: I am. It's a trick question. If you can stomach a bottomless read, look into Sartre's

I may do that. I really LOVE my philosophy class. We're learning about the Socratics right now, and while it's very heavy and very over my head at times, it's fascinating. Might be a good thing to read this summer, when I actually have time to read for pleasure.

Steven Cramer directs the MFA in Creative Writing Program, and Danielle Legros Georges teaches in Creative Arts in Learning
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Cramer is the director of Lesley's nationally acclaimed low-residency MFA in Creative Writing Program. Georges teaches in Lesley's Creative Arts in Learning Division in the Graduate School of Education.
The impact of politics and history on Legros Georges's life is reflected in her poetry, which explores topics including Haitian identity and weaves beautiful language with social justice concerns. In Cramer's recent book of poems, "Clangings," he transforms the speech patterns that plague some schizophrenic patients into lyrical poems that seek to unlock the meaning behind these ostensibly incomprehensible communications.
"To have two Lesley faculty members who teach in distinct fields earn this prestigious honor is gratifying for the university and a testament to the relevance and influence of poetic expression," said Lesley President Joseph Moore.
The highly competitive poetry fellowships recognize exceptional work by Massachusetts artists, and Legros Georges and Cramer are among six fellows selected from a field of nearly 300 poets.
"I've been a poet most of my life, so this award is incredibly encouraging, especially here in Massachusetts, a state with lively literary and academic communities, and fine poets," Georges reflected.
"It's especially gratifying to be recognized along with my Lesley colleague, Danielle Legros Georges, whose work I so greatly admire," Cramer added.
Past Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellows include authors Jonathan Franzen, Gish Jen, and Tim O'Brien, as well as former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky.

The Kelowna Daily Courier
Friends and foes of the Northern Gateway pipeline project are awaiting a final decision today from the federal government. The announcement is expected after markets close at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
With a federal government decision on the Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline due Tuesday, Finance Minister Joe Oliver stresses that diversifying Canada's energy markets is an "obvious strategic imperative."
The French magazine Closer claims actress Julie Gayet is having a secret affair with French President Francois Hollande. The president's partner, Valerie Trierweiler, was hospitalized after hearing the report.
The historic Vancouver Stock Exchange building at the corner of Howe and Pender streets is poised to get a $200-million overhaul as part of a major commercial development proposed by global financial giant Credit Suisse.
Vancouver's first mall, built in 1959, could become the home of towers as high as 45 storeys if the redevelopment of Oakridge Centre on Cambie Street goes ahead as proposed. Conceptual architectural plans done for the developer have been posted on the City of Vancouver http://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/oakridge-redevelopment.aspx website as the project, a 11-hectare site at Cambie Street and West 41st Avenue, moves into the public consultation phase.
Incentives for heritage restorations in Gastown are working out well for the city, with the old commercial neighbourhood transforming far beyond a few touristy trinket shops to include quality retail, restaurants and pubs, plus a funky range of other businesses. But for the first guy to sign on to spend mega-bucks on a once-shabby Gastown structure, it's a bust. Niels Bendtsen, owner of Inform Interiors and the lovely old building that houses its showroom at 50 Water St., feels cheated out of six figures worth of tax breaks by an assessment error no one in officialdom seems willing to admit to or fix.
Canada has a global reputation for excellence in responsible mining practices.
The prime minister was tongue-tied during question period Thursday, and came close to referring to Justin Trudeau as "minister." Trudeau spoke as deputy Liberal leader in the absence of interim leader Bob Rae.
Metro Vancouver's myriad secondary suites — often built illegally in the early days, but increasingly inclined to have the blessing of their city or district council — have long been a major source of affordable rental units in the region. Could they soon play as big a role in providing affordable homes for people to buy?
Prince Andrew's appearance at a reception Wednesday marking the opening of B.C.'s trade and investment office in a pricey patch of real estate overlooking Hyde Park gave the event a shot of royal glitz.
The number of film and television industry jobs is sinking in B.C. and spiking in Ontario, according to a new report — proof, industry insiders say, that tax credits are luring work east. B.C. lost 3,500 direct and spinoff film and television production jobs during the year ended March 31, 2012, with the total number falling from 39,500 to 36,000, according to the Canadian Media Production Association report. In the same period, Ontario's industry gained nearly 8,000 jobs, jumping from 43,400 to 51,300.
The date was Jan. 10, 2012 and Premier Christy Clark's inner circle was hard at work on a strategy to capture the ethnic vote. "Anecdotal reports suggest that some ethnic communities, particularly Chinese, feel that they are ignored by government between elections," wrote the premier's hand-picked deputy chief of staff Kim Haakstad in a confidential memo to key staffers in the government.
The B.C. Liberal government's controversial plan to balance its budget by selling off public assets includes the disposal of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of what it is calling "financial instruments." Finance Minister Mike de Jong made a passing reference to the plan in last week's budget presentation to reporters, but in a subsequent interview with The Vancouver Sun he confirmed his government plans to make about $125 million from the sale of various financial assets in the coming year.
Want to put some money where your mouth is when it comes to predicting the outcome of this May's provincial election? Head online to the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business investors' prediction markets (http://predictionmarkets.ca/), where you can plonk down up to $1,000 for virtual shares representing the party you think stands the best chance of winning the May 14 election.
If nothing else, the sudden closing last week of the Kitsilano coast guard station was consistent with the decision to shut it down. It was done without notice or consultation with the people who will be affected or the local agencies that will be expected to pick up the slack.
Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger has fired off an email to the B.C. Conservative Party referring to them as "unmitigated morons."
Premier Christy Clark strongly defended one of her senior ministers Tuesday against allegations from two B.C. Liberal insiders that he acted in bad faith during the bid process for a multimillion-dollar government contract. "I believe all of that (process) has been done at arm's length by qualified civil servants," Clark told reporters Tuesday. She was responding to questions about the actions of Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Pat Bell in connection with the Prince George-based Wood Innovation and Design Centre.
Vancouver Quadra MP Joyce Murray's rapper son is boosting her bid to become the next leader of the federal Liberal party.
Premier Christy Clark's media availability in her Victoria office Tuesday began with a question about whether the B.C. Liberals were exploring a 10-year deal with nurses a mere 11 weeks ahead of an election in which her government might be driven from office. Yes they were.

Charcoal vs. Gas BBQ Grills
Comparing Gas and Charcoal Grills
The choice of charcoal vs. gas grill hinges on a variety of factors.
Air Conditioners, Binoculars, Dehumidifiers, Fans, Ice Cream, Ice Cream Treats, Lawn Mowers, Leaf Blowers, Mosquito Traps, Pools, Sunglasses, Sunscreen and Tents
On the other hand, gas grills usually take up more space than charcoal barbecues and many grillers claim the flavor is just not the same. Grills that use charcoal (or briquettes) as fuel impart an authentic grilled flavor that's undetectable with gas grills. Another advantage to charcoal vs. gas grills is they cost less up front, although experts say buying charcoal is pricier in the long run than filling a propane tank every couple of months.
Ease of Use.Whichever way you cut it, charcoal grills are more complicated than the gas variety. With the latter, all you have to do is make sure there's fuel in the tank, turn on the burner, wait a few minutes, and you're good to go. Charcoal grills require you to pile up the lump charcoal or briquettes, get them to ignite (this can be tricky), wait a good 20 minutes, then scatter the fuel. Still, some demand more effort than others.
The word "easy" shows up again and again in reviews of the Char-Griller Wrangler 2123, our top pick among low-cost charcoal grills. Backyard cooks posting reviews on Walmart.com say it's easy to add coals, cook, and clean up using the removable ash pan. Many users also report that the grill is easy to assemble. The Weber One-Touch Gold 22.5 also draws favorable comments in reviews for easy cooking and cleanup compared with other charcoal models. Consumers rave about the One-Touch cleaning system, which allows ashes and charcoal to fall into a removable pan with a flick of a switch. One user posting on Amazon calls the Weber the epitome of simplicity and declares the ash catcher a marked improvement over older models. Users also like the second handle, which allows the lid to be clamped on for added safety and convenience, a feature missing in the smaller, cheaper Weber One-Touch Silver (an 18.5-inch model that starts at $59, Amazon).
While it's generally not difficult to use or clean gas grills vs. charcoal grills, some models can be tough to assemble. Several users posting reviews on Amazon have found the Char-Griller 3001 difficult to put together, with poor instructions, although others seem baffled by such complaints. Consumers note that the cooking grate is three separate pieces, which makes for easier cleaning. The Brinkmann Grill King is easy to cook with and clean, according to a review by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. The Char-Broil Two-Burner Gas Grill garners a few complaints regarding assembly in reviews on Amazon. Consumers call the instructions confusing and unhelpful.Back to top »
