Football Success!
'The Senior boys made it 2 wins out of 2 with a convincing 6-0 win over St Margaret Mary's in the Scottish Shield. Debutant Callum Fowlis opened the scoring with a bullet header and captain Jack Gorman got himself a hat-trick to claim man of the match. It was a great case of brotherly love when Jack gave Matthew the honour of netting a penalty to make it 3-0! Another excellent performance and the boys will make a trip to Cleveden next Thursday for their next game in the Cameronian Cup. Well done to everyone involved today!'

SQA Results 2014
Exam results should be delivered by text or post, today 5th August. Staff at Hermitage Academy hope your results are everything you wished and worked for!ResultsRemember that there are no 'Appeals' to exam results from 2014. 'Results Services' is the replacement service where, if a school or college is concerned by a candidate's result, they can request a clerical check and/or a marking review of the script. This means that a candidates script is subject to an 'arithmetical' check and/or a check to ensure that the original marking was in line with the national standard. Strict criteria needs to be met before a request can be made and this can only be processed by the school. SQA will not accept requests directly from candidates, parents, carers or other third parties. It is worth remembering that candidate's grade can go up or down following a clerical check or marking review.If you need further information, please see SQA's website or speak with Mrs Trevelyan (DHT Senior School).UCASIf you have the grades required by your firm or insurance choice, you can breathe a sigh of relief! Your application will be updated in UCAS Track.If you have narrowly missed the required grades you may still be offered a place by one of your two choices. Speak to the university or college. Alternatively, if you are still without a confirmed place you will automatically go into Clearing, which tries to match you with courses that still have vacancies. You need to be pro-active: check and keep checking UCAS Clearing.If you need help or advice, look on the UCAS website or contact Mrs Mackay (PT Senior School)S6 Timetables / Subject Choices for 214/15.Most S6 pupils wil continue with the subject choices and timetables issued in June. However, having received your exam results, it may be necessary to review subjects choices & presentation levels. In order to ensure that an appropriate timetable is available for 14th August, it would be helpful if you contact the school in advance.This can be done in two ways:A. By E-mail:
If you just need to change your presentation level (subject choices remain the same) e.g. Perhaps you had hoped to progress to Higher but now need to resit Int 2. Remember to include your name & iTime class in your message!B. By speaking to a member of staff. Staff will be available in school on Thursday 7th August from 10:00am to discuss timetable issues. This is the preferred option if a subject choice needs to be reconsidered. Pease be aware that you may need to wait to be seen.Mrs Trevelyan
P7 Induction days
P7 pupils made a very good first impression during the Induction Days on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th June. We very much look forward to you starting S1 with us in August. Have a great summer!

Playstation World Cup
'The final of the Hermitage Academy Playstation World Cup took place today 25th June and was won by the underdog Aidan Wilson (S4). Aidan took on Reece Grant (also S4) and his Belgium team won the final 2-0 against England. This was closely contested as has been the case the whole tournament which started with 32 pupils and teachers back at the beginning of June. Much fun has been had by all and more importantly this event raised £225 for the Helensburgh and Lomond Young Carers association which does some great work for many pupils within our school. A big big thanks to all who took part in this event and those who supported the event throughout the 3 weeks of its duration. A follow-up fundraiser will be held next session for the Champions League where the fans favourite Mr McCluskey will be looking to achieve some silverware. Well done to everyone who was involved in this event'

Hands On Dads Get No Respect
Why are we in competition with the one we love?
A Momologue by Jackie: "He woke up with the kids at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. He changed their diapers, brought them down for a breakfast of waffles and applesauce, and got them dressed. I was able to sleep until 8 a.m. which, as a parent, is like noon before kids.As I came down the stairs, the first thing I noticed was the sticky high chair tray. Dirty plates and cups on the counter flashed at me like a broken traffic light. There was a puddle of milk on the floor seeping into the grout between the tiles. Pieces of chewed-up waffle were wedged into the side of the booster seat. The kids were dressed in outfits that made it clear Garanimals were a genius idea that really needs to be brought back. It was a beautiful, sunny day outside, with temps making their way up to the reported high of 75 degrees. So why were my boys wearing fleece-lined pants and sweatshirts?
While I should've been appreciative of the extra time I had gotten under the covers and the happy kids playing with their endless collection of toys, I could only see all that needed to be done. Why do women—yes, not just me, but many, many women— look for the things that haven't been done instead of just enjoying the things that have been? Is it because every other day but this particular one, we get the kids dressed and fed while managing a schedule, cleaning the house, paying the bills and, for 75 percent of Moms, holding down a full time job? Yet, there's my husband—sitting at the table, drinking coffee and checking his email with the most satisfied and accomplished look on his face. In his mind, it was a job well done. In mine, it was a job barely started.
As I wiped up syrup, peeled food off the floor, and started the dishwasher, I silently repeated my daily mantra: He is a man. They are not made like us. Move on, say nothing—pointing out all you do will not help.
He looked up from the table and had the sweetest look on his face. He really did feel like he went all out this morning. I took a deep breath, kissed him on the forehead, and thanked him for letting me sleep in. I know I could've done it faster, neater and better. But I'll keep that to myself today.
This sounds like a day in my own life. My husband does a great job with our kids (almost-3yrs.-old, and 8-months-old), and in a lot of ways, he's 'better.' He thinks of things to do or say that I wouldn't have thought of, or he'll do something to get my toddler out of a meltdown, while I'm still standing there trying to do it my own (not-quite-working) way. But still, despite all of this, I always have an opinion of how *I* would have done 'x', or how *HE* could have done 'y' in a 'better' way (e.g.: more efficiently, more neatly, more quickly.) In the end, the goal was still achieved. But UGH!, it wasn't done the way I WOULD HAVE DONE IT. It takes a lot to keep my mouth shut and not say anything. But I totally agree: It's a lot better to do that, than to say whatever is in my head [and I'm speaking from first-hand experience, having tried both 'approaches' :)]
No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar.

Can we rebuild our communities?
Have we lost sight of community building and restructuring?
In the past 100 years humans have socially evolved quite a bit. Our society is a complex network of individuals moving towards individual and national goals.
However, are individual goals less important than a nationial, or global, agenda?
Should we focus our tax money on programs that help rebuild communities....not just throw small amounts of money (welfare) at them?
Topics: society
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
saah tambaOct 24 2012: I actually like this a lot. My simple answer is yes we can rebuild our communities. We have the resources, the infrastructure and the efforts to do so...the only problem is maintenance. How can we keep these communities from falling apart again? How often do you clean your room to see it messy at the end of the week? How often are roads resurfaced to break apart again? Very often. It's not whether we can rebuild or not, because we can, it's more so how can we maintain what we rebuild?
We also have to look back at the locations we want to rebuild. Where are rebuilding and is the community able to utilize the projects? The more we rebuild the higher the cost the community becomes and that will raise taxes...is that community able to afford the luxury of a new infrastructure?
I really like your question and i do believe we are able to rebuild, but how willing is that community to reach out, get help, and keep the order?

Cozart Single Lifts Eagles to Victory over 25th-Ranked PittsburghApril 17, 2013
PITTSBURGH -- Dalton Cozart went 3-for-4 including the go-ahead RBI single in the top of the seventh inning leading Coppin State to a 6-3 victory over 25th-ranked Pittsburgh earning the Eagles a split of the non-conference doubleheader on Wednesday at Cost Field.
Coppin State held a 3-0 lead before the Panthers rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Nathan Pitts led off the top of the seventh inning with a double to begin the rally. Colin Dower reached on a fielder's choice, which allowed pinch-runner John Walls to advance to third base. After a pop out, Cozart singled to right scoring Walls and putting the Eagles ahead to stay at 4-3.
Coppin State (11-23) added two more runs in the inning on singles by David Hamlett and Chris Godfrey.
Michael Roberts struck out two batters in the bottom of the seventh inning to pick up the win on the mound for the Eagles.
Pittsburgh won the opener 10-4 as Steven Shelinsky had a grand slam and drove in five runs.
Coppin State jumped out to an early lead in game two by scoring twice in the top of the second inning.
Godfrey doubled to lead off the inning and advanced to third when Jack Kraft followed with a single.
Alex Brown delivered the first run of the game when he singled to right scoring Godfrey giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
Jay Maletz reached on a fielder's choice, which resulted in Brown being forced out at second base and Kraft being tagged out at the plate.
With two outs, Pitts was hit by a pitch which advanced Maletz to second base. Dower then increased the lead to 2-0 when he singled to right scoring Maletz.
The Eagles took a 3-0 lead when Hamlett singled in Cozart who had doubled to lead off the inning.
Pittsburgh cut the lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning and then tied it with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Hamlett led the Coppin State offense in game one as he had a bases-loaded triple that accounted for three of the Eagles four runs.

Get 3% Backwith AllModern rewards
I have always been interested in art and design growing up, originally wanted to become an architect but then found out about industrial design through a high school teacher. During college I noticed the Bungee wallet and thought it was such a unique innovative idea and looked up Umbra for the first time. I was thrilled to see they were a Canadian design company based out of Toronto so I made it my goal to get in and make my mark. I love the fast paced environment here, and it seems that every day is different and always presents a new challenge to solve. It's also exciting to work so closely with such a great team, the entire company seems focused on the same goals, making it a great creative environment for spawning new fresh ideas.

Umbra Wallflutter Dragonflies Wall Décor
Amy from Worcester, MA– Verified Buyer
These are very cte. Though plastic they are very sturdy and look very cute on the wall.
Jeanette from WA– Verified Buyer
I ordered these to hang in one of my bathrooms. they are easy to hang and they aren't going anywhere, once u hang it its there to stay so make sure you put it where you want it the first time. the shipping was very fast , it was here in like 2 days.
Love these

Donna from Surprise, AZ– Verified Buyer

kelli from Atlanta– Verified Buyer
Kind of on the "cheap side" of quality but for the price I cannot complain. Cute addition to our bathroom walls! Good at hiding old filled nail holes ;-)
exactly as pictured
darlene from mammoth lakes, CA– Verified Buyer
These look just like the picture and looked really nice on the wall. I arranged them as pictured. They aren't super sturdy but not super fragile either. If you mess up on placement, the wall mounts have heavy duty double sided tape that secure them to the wall and are very difficult to remove once on.
Very pretty
Customer from Tinker AFB, OK– Verified Buyer
These dragonflies are very pretty and I haven't had a problem with them sticking to my walls. Its been two weeks and they're staying up fine!
All a flutter!

In the end, voters in the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire District made their decision on the library controversy by doing nothing.
When an attempt to resume the May 17 district annual meeting failed last evening when the 100-person quorum was not reached, district moderator Charles Sabatt dissolved the meeting.
Mr. Sabatt said the dissolution of the meeting meant that all the votes taken during the May 17 session stood.
That included a vote in favor of a proposal to request the district prudential committee to ask the state Legislature to pass legislation enabling the district to provide supplementary funding to the village libraries within the district.
The May 17 annual meeting, and the attempt to resume it, was held at the West Villages Elementary School in Marstons Mills.
The decisions of the May 17 meeting had been hanging in limbo since that meeting lost its quorum with a motion to reconsider the positive library legislative vote still on the table.
The prudential committee had recommended that the meeting not pass the library legislative proposal based on a legal opinion provided by the district's attorney, J. Douglas Murphy of Hyannis.
Mr. Murphy had researched the question of whether C-O-MM could provide funding to libraries inside the district, and said, in his opinion, the district could not.
Advocates of the proposal, aware that the neighboring Cotuit Fire District had been providing just that sort of assistance to the Cotuit library for 60 years, doubted Mr. Murphy's opinion.
At this spring's annual meeting of the Cotuit Fire District on May 25, Cotuit voters again provided a stipend to the library.
This year, the stipend totaled $15,410.
Because of Cotuit's record of supporting their library, advocates of the proposal in the C-O-MM fire district called for the prudential committee to request the enabling legislation, and to modify the request as needed if the Legislature rejected the initial request.
At the May 17 meeting, district residents voted 43-34 in favor of the proposal.
But then a member of the prudential committee who had voted for the proposal, James H. Crocker Jr., moved for reconsideration.
During the vote on reconsideration, a question arose whether the meeting still had its 100-voter quorum.
A quorum count revealed 94 voters were present, six shy of a quorum.
Mr. Sabatt then decided not to end the meeting, but to adjourn it to a specific time and place: at 7 PM yesterday at the school.
The district not only notified the voters attending the May 17 meeting of the future time and place, but advertised the time and place for the continuation of the meeting.
By 7:30 PM yesterday, however, the meeting still had failed to reach a quorum, leading Mr. Sabatt to dissolve the meeting.
Deborah Schilling, president of the board of trustees of the Marstons Mills Public Library, last night welcomed the outcome of events.
Ms. Schilling said visits and circulation were up at the library despite the economic recession.
She said the library could use additional financial help from the district.
Advocates have not specified a desired funding amount for the three libraries in the district: the Centerville Public Library, the Marstons Mills Public Library, and the Osterville Village Library.
Instead, they want to put a mechanism in place to allow the voters to provide some sort of funding.
Given the votes from the last meeting, the fire department budget for the coming fiscal year is $6.7 million and the water department budget is $1.8 million.

Born Free USA urges the "Darth Vader of Dolphins" to leave the Dark Side
Born Free USA applauds the recent announcement by notorious dolphin trader Chris Porter that he will stop capturing and trading dolphins and that he plans to release his remaining 17 dolphins back to the wild.
According to Porter, he is known as the "Darth Vader of dolphins," having captured and sold more than 83 dolphins to aquaria around the world, a moniker that will surely change soon if he keeps his word.
"I hope Mr. Porter truly has had a change of heart and will now become a staunch advocate of keeping wildlife in the wild," says Monica Engebretson, Senior Program Associate of Born Free USA.
"Forcing dolphins to live in environments that deprive them of their natural behaviors is not real conservation, educational, or humane. The most important conservation message that people need to learn is how to value these animals without turning them into commodities," notes Engebretson.
Born Free USA has a long history of advocating against the use of marine mammals in captive displays and swim with dolphin programs. Most recently, Born Free USA took the lead in opposing the import permit for 2 additional dolphins for the Mirage casino in Las Vegas and cast a spotlight on the Mirage's near-75% dolphin death rate as well as the inherent cruelty of keeping dolphins in captivity.

Are You Smarter Than an Art Student?
Oh my goodness!!! When you incorporate children into almost anything, it is a recipe for greatness……or disaster. I was super pleased to see that every designer embraced the idea of working with the kids. This challenge was so creative, inspiring, and beautiful. The innocence of a young mind is so fascinating to me.
Typically children learn from observing their surroundings and from what they are taught. The fascinating part is when they teach an adult something. I was blown away by Laura's young artist Kai, an eleven year old girl that said, "Failure is an opportunity in disguise". I had to pause my DVR and really think about that statement. I have always been a positive, extroverted person and try to learn from all experiences in life. Just hearing something so wise and unexpected from her was truly touching. I could see such an honest innocent beauty even in Kai's eyes. Every relationship that was formed between the designers and their student was inspiring to watch. It makes me want to go take an art class with kids.
I think part of what makes this show so successful is you get a peek into the mind and its creative process. All of the paintings were unique and pretty impressive. Once the masterpieces were done, then the real challenge began. Before the paint was even dry, the designers had to create an avant-garde look inspired by their art collaboration. The "mood" was tense at the fabric store as the designers frantically tried to fabricate their design.
After such a drama filled episode last week, this week was quite tame. The biggest personalities seemed to come from the kids. Viktor's artist Skyy was twelve years old going on twenty one. She had attitude and a clear point of view. Let's just say very outspoken. A great contrast to Viktor, who has been pretty quiet so far this season. I always felt one of the most stressful times of a challenge is when Tim comes to the design room for critiques. Skyy completely controlled the critique and let Tim know how fabulous their design was and that was all there was to it. I mean what is Tim going to say to a twelve year old?
So there was some pretty walking down the runway and then there was some pretty wacky. Laura's yellow organza gown was quite beautiful. Of course I love the gowns. The only thing I wish is that Laura would have used some of the other colors in the painting like the red or green. I did find it quite interesting that the judges loved seeing the boning through the sheer bodice, since just a few years ago they kinda dogged my couture dress I made in Paris. It was a gold sheer metallic corset with hand sewn, French lace on the bodice with an ombre silk chiffon skirt. Tim kept telling me he was worried for me because the corset was sheer and you could see the black boning through it. I did not go home that challenge and I get more comments from fans that that dress was absolutely their favorite and do not know what the judges were thinking.
Anthony Ryan's dress was one of my favorites because of how literal he interpreted the painting and the brush strokes. The look was truly avant-garde, yet completely wearable. This design definitely made a statement, but I have to agree with Kenneth Cole that the execution could have been a little cleaner. Viktor's gown was completely overlooked this week. The construction, fit, execution, and fabrication was pure perfection. The judges obviously like it enough because he was safe, but a true oversight. The judges might have just been confused by the unsightly creations this week.
I could not agree more with Micheal Kors that Oliviers clothes are like valium. Boring, and will put you to sleep. His artist's painting was so bright and lively, and the dress was just blah. Bitter Bert's teletubbie jumpsuit on the other hand was far from boring. I was slightly fascinated by it for some reason though. A little Mad-Hatter meets Humpty-Dumpty I guess from my childhood. Heidi must have smoked the same crack I did because she found it interesting as well. Poor Joshua Christensen had one of the most inspiring paintings of all and fell short this week with a cheap black and white hooker get up. Definitely not the taste level the judges were looking for, but I guess at least he can use black and white.
The biggest lesson learned for me this week was to appreciate beauty in its simplest form. Children see things so clearly sometimes because they are so eager to absorb information without all the adult confusion we surround ourselves in. Try to keep life simple, honest, and beautiful.

Brilliant Idea: Lace Vase From Milk Design
Although I reuse glass jars for all sorts of things, this creation makes them even more beautiful and resourceful. It's simple, elegant and turns even an ugly, short pickle jar into a work of art.
The Lace Vase from Milk Design is a clever little sleeve that turns any jar into a beautiful vase. Now before you tell us that any jar is already a vase, you have to admit that this simple addition truly helps magnify the beauty of the glass and better support the flowers.
It's great solution and would make a nice gift. I'm hoping to see it be put into production sooner rather than later.

This is spectacular! I see they come in black as well. I'm going to be in line when these come available.
That's pretty darn cool.
This is lovely. I have a zillion ugly jars. I wonder if I couldn't knit/felt something similar.
This is clever. Like tasterspoon, this is an idea worth hitchhiking on. I'm thinking about a heavily starched doily dried around a jar.
I would love to have these. Very cool!
beautiful design! i think the material sounds like it works, but a ceramic version would give a different sense of quality

Making preparations for me to return to Ft. Worth
We saw numerous hawks on our return to NM. Sometimes there was a lone hawk circling over the highway above our car. On other occasions there were two hawks circling over us. We noticed this and made a statement to look up the hawk again in our Shaman Wisdom cards. And this is what it said:
I am Hawk. As my wings carry me over the fields below, I am filled with quite awe and love of Earth and Sky. I am a powerful warrior and take conflict in stride. I am assertive and perceptive, focusing on my intent. I observe, then act. I keenly identify new opportunities as well has hazards and challenges. I am powerful in my ability to maneuver through testy situations.
I am filled with quiet awe and love. Soaring into your world today, my head cocked and my wings spread, I rouse you to see through and above whatever situation you may find yourself in at this time. From my higher perspective, you can see hazards and obstacles that block your progress. Meanings are often camouflaged in our day-to-day routine. Listen for my shrill cry, and you will know it is time to obtain balance and insight. Follow your heart, your genuine truth.
We are now making preparations for me to return to Ft. Worth to be with my son at this time of his need and my need to be with him. Peg will stay in NM to take care of the homefront. We are currently checking out options of another vehicle as we only have one at this time. There are several options, we are now determining which is best.
I have been offered housing from my friends in Ft. Worth and several friends have offered monetary support for me to return as I was laid off from my job. Oh how I bless the Universe, Source Energy, God and my wonderful loving friends. Thank you all so very much for your assistance and your support. We are getting my laptop fixed so that I can take it with me so that I can stay in contact with the all of you. I am so grateful for your prayers and your loving intentions.
Love, Deb

RICHMOND, Va. - Nick Anderson has a serious fish tale to tell. The high school football coach reeled in what could be a world record. He caught a 143 pound, 13 ounce blue catfish.
The Greenville, N.C. man caught a 57-inch long catfish that had a girth of 43.5 inches . He made the catch just before 8 p.m. Saturday while fishing in the Kerr Reservoir along the Virginia-North Carolina border.
Anderson, 29, tells The Richmond Times Dispatch he battled to bring in the fish for 45 minutes, bringing it to the boat four times before he, his brother and dad could get it on board.
Up until now, the biggest catfish the Kinston Vikings head football coach had caught was 13 pounds, Anderson tells Kinston.com.
Anderson knew the fish was a biggie -- bigger than the 95-pounder his dad caught three weeks earlier -- but he didn't realize how big.
Because it was Saturday night, the trio didn't know who to call after reeling in the fish, so they called the sheriff. The sheriff contacted the Mecklenburg Supply in Chase City and gaming officials. The shop opened up, and with 30 to 40 people watching, the fish got weighed on certified scales.
Don't look for Anderson to tell you what bait he used. He says it's a family secret and will remain one.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is reviewing Anderson's entry, which looks legitimate. The International Game Fish Association will need to certify the catch as the largest on record in the world.
According to the International Game Fish Association, the current world record is 130 pounds, set last year in Missouri.
In March, the current Virginia record was set when a 109-pound blue cat was caught on Buggs Island Lake near the confluence of the Dan and Roanoke rivers.
WNCT-TV has more photos of the catfish in this video.

Eight Summarizing Words on the Gospel
- Thursday, January 08, 2009
The Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-19)
Many have commented on the fact that the church in the western world is going through a time of remarkable fragmentation. This fragmentation extends to our understanding of the gospel. For some Christians, "the gospel" is a narrow set of teachings about Jesus and his death and resurrection which, rightly believed, tip people into the kingdom. After that, real discipleship and personal transformation begin, but none of that is integrally related to "the gospel." This is a far cry from the dominant New Testament emphasis that understands "the gospel" to be the embracing category that holds much of the Bible together, and takes Christians from lostness and alienation from God all the way through conversion and discipleship to the consummation, to resurrection bodies, and to the new heaven and the new earth.
Other voices identify the gospel with the first and second commandments—the commandments to love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves. These commandments are so central that Jesus himself insists that all the prophets and the law hang on them (Matthew 22:34-40)—but most emphatically they are not the gospel.
A third option today is to treat the ethical teaching of Jesus found in the Gospels as the gospel— yet it is the ethical teaching of Jesus abstracted from the passion and resurrection narrative found in each Gospel. This approach depends on two disastrous mistakes. First, it overlooks the fact that in the first century, there was no "Gospel of Matthew," "Gospel of Mark," and so forth. Our four Gospels were called, respectively, "The Gospel According to Matthew," "The Gospel According to Mark," and so forth. In other words, there was only one gospel, the gospel of Jesus
Christ, according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This one gospel, this message of news that was simultaneously threatening and promising, concerned the coming of Jesus the Messiah, the long-awaited King, and included something about his origins, the ministry of his forerunner, his brief ministry of teaching and miraculous transformation, climaxing in his death and resurrection. These elements are not independent pearls on a string that constitutes the life and times of Jesus the Messiah. Rather, they are elements tightly tied together. Accounts of Jesus' teaching cannot be rightly understood unless we discern how they flow toward and point toward Jesus' death and resurrection. All of this together is the one gospel of Jesus Christ, to which the canonical Gospels bear witness. To study the teaching of Jesus without simultaneously reflecting on his passion and resurrection is far worse than assessing the life and times of George Washington without reflecting on the American Revolution, or than evaluating Hitler's Mein Kampf without thinking about what he did and how he died. Second, we shall soon see that to focus on Jesus' teaching while making the cross peripheral reduces the glorious good news to mere religion, the joy of forgiveness to mere ethical conformity, the highest motives for obedience to mere duty. The price is catastrophic.
Perhaps more common yet is the tendency to assume the gospel, whatever that is, while devoting creative energy and passion to other issues—marriage, happiness, prosperity, evangelism, the poor, wrestling with Islam, wrestling with the pressures of secularization, bioethics, dangers on the left, dangers on the right—the list is endless. This overlooks the fact that our hearers inevitably are drawn toward that about which we are most passionate. Every teacher knows that.
My students are unlikely to learn all that I teach them; they are most likely to learn that about which I am most excited. If the gospel is merely assumed, while relatively peripheral issues ignite our passion, we will train a new generation to downplay the gospel and focus zeal on the periphery. It is easy to sound prophetic from the margins; what is urgently needed is to be prophetic from the center. What is to be feared, in the famous words of W. B. Yeats in "The Second Coming," is that "the centre does not hold." Moreover, if in fact we focus on the gospel, we shall soon see that this gospel, rightly understood, directs us how to think about, and what to do about, a substantial array of other issues. These issues, if they are analyzed on their own, as important as they are, remain relatively peripheral; ironically, if the gospel itself is deeply pondered and remains at the center of our thinking and living, it powerfully addresses and wrestles with all these other issues.

I was surprised I didn't try to nap on the couch as I waited for Gerard, but this show had caught my interest. Not in a "wow this is interesting I need to see all the seasons and become a groupie" but in a "where the fuck do you find people to do this shit" way. I don't understand the point of it all. They're a bunch of guys that make duck whistles… Where is the appeal here? What made the network jump at the chance to film these guys and make it into a reality show?
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, about reaching my tolerance limit for beards and southern drawls before I'd go absolutely bonkers and take an army of poisonous aggressive ducks in bullet proof armor to Louisiana. I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling, too lazy (and possibly masochistic) to turn the channel from this dribble. I focused on the fan blades spinning slowly and tried to recall the last time I saw Gerard.
I know it was a fight. I know things had ended in a fight. He got mad at me and dad for something, and left.
Decorating the Christmas tree with my brother, him standing on the opposite side of the tree, Jingle Bells filled my ears. I've always been a holiday person, so I bopped around and wiggled in time with the music as I hung some of the glass ornaments my mother had purchased at least 12 years ago. The Christmas atmosphere changed to one of surprise and curiosity when I heard a crash and a shatter from the other side of the tree where Gerard was supposed to be hanging things, not breaking them. I peered around the side of the large conifer to him, with a hand placed over his mouth and his eyebrows raised. He looked like your typical kid when they dropped something expensive or fragile and broke it into a million and three pieces. I directed my gaze to the floor, where Gerard was staring and saw the shattered remains of the Mickey Mouse ornament my brother had bought for me when I was 5. He bought it because he called me Mikey Mouse, or Mousey, and thought it was clever. It was clever, and I've always loved that thing. That was one of my favorite gifts from him ever, and he broke it.
"Whoopsies…" Gerard said. That's all he had to say to that. Not a "shit" or a "sorry" but fucking "whoopsies"?
That's when I noticed the reek of Wild Turkey on his breath. He did have a very bad drinking problem, but last week over the phone he promised me he wouldn't drink over the holiday. He fucking promised. I hated seeing him drunk, and I hated seeing him getting drunk. This shit would kill him and I swear to God I just might if he had broke his promise.
"Were you drinking?" I demanded. I knew the answer was yes, and I was astounded that he could've drank so much to make him klutzy between the time he got here and the time we started decorating.
"Um… Do you want the good answer or the bad answer?" He asked quietly.
"Are you fucking kidding me? You promised me." I snapped, stepping away from the tree.
"Well… In… It's Christmas eve. I promised not to be drunk on Christmas because Christmas is the holiday."
"Damn it, you knew exactly what I meant. You wont even apologize to me! Why do you do this shit? Is it funny to hurt the people around you?" I threw my arms over my chest for emphasis.
"Last time I checked, I am 21 years old. I'm a grown up, so I can, and I will… You're the 18 year old that's still living at home with our parents. Don't expect me to take life advice from a little kid." He retorted, throwing his hands on his hips.
"18 with a job, in a stable and steady relationship, and I'm pretty sure I've done more to speak for in the last three months than you have in the last three years. I'm only staying at home until I graduate, you asshat." I glared at him over the top of my glasses.
"Yeah, okay. Cool. Piss off then." He shrugged and hastily started hanging ornaments.
You break my favorite fucking Christmas ornament, break a huge promise, call me a kid, and still have the balls to tell me to piss off? I would point out how oh-so-mature that is of him to do, but I was so frustrated with his attitude that I'm fairly certain the only words I could muster would be loud jibberish accompanied my arms flailing around in his face and probably a kick in the shin.
"I wish I had a different brother." I sighed to myself.
I saw his head snap up, right at me. He was visibly offended. I saw hurt in his eyes with a twinge of anger. His face begged "how could you" as he opened his mouth to reply.
"I wish you… I wish you were never born!" He shouted with momentary hesitation.
"You don't even mean that." I shook my head.
"I guess you're fucking right, but you still want a different brother!"
"I didn't mean it like that… I was frust-" I began before being cut off.
"Bull-fucking-shit! You hate me! I love you so fucking much…" He paused, and he blinked away tears that had welled up in his eyes. "I care about you so much, I always have… I would do anything for you and you hate me!"
"You'd do anything for me but keep a damn promise. You'd do anything but stop hurting yourself. Stop being melodramatic."
"I'll do you one fucking better." He growled, still visibly torn up and walked around the tree, and to the front door. Out he stormed, and slammed the door behind him.
Why can't he just apologize? Why does he have to act like a bitch when he's called out for being an asshole? I just want an apology for him going against his word. I shook my head and angrily shoved my hand in the box of ornaments and dug around for something to stick on this stupid tree before I heard a car start outside.
Gerard was going to leave, go driving to god knows where, intoxicated. He probably does have a death wish, and I'm not about to let him kill himself.
I ran outside myself and stood right in front of his car, him sitting at the driver's seat gripping the steering wheel tightly. I slammed my hand down hard on the hood of his car, trying to make my point without having to speak. He didn't flinch.
"Do you want to get in a wreck and die, Gerard?! Are you fucking insane?"
"I hope I fucking die! There is absolutely no reason to keep fucking around and pretending that it's okay that I've got issues! Who knows, maybe mom and dad will give you that different brother you want so fucking bad." His tone had quieted some, but was still fairly loud, given we were trying to speak with the car standing between us.
"Don't you dare talk like that, dickhead! Roll your window down and let me talk to you!" I stared at him for a good while, his head hung as he clenched the steering wheel.
He stayed in that spot for a moment, shaking his head as his shoulders wobbled. I could tell he was in tears and that's when I remembered how much it bothered me when he was sad. He wasn't upset without reason, I had been pretty rude and I do understand how I could've hurt him. Some of the things I had said were bound to cut deep… But I hoped they would make him want to clean up the wounds and do his best to let them heal rather than say fuck it and just chop himself up. I honest to god hope that at some point he gets it. I hope he gets that though they weren't said in a soft pretty way, they did have some truth. I really don't think any less of him, I'd just rather him not get himself killed.
"Please, Geegee…" I said and weakly hit the hood again.
He lazily threw his arm over to side with the little switch used to put the windows down, and allowed his finger to press down on the button. When there was now a way for me to talk to him without having to shout, I walked over to the window and leaned in, throwing my arms around his shoulders and giving him the best hug I could from the angle I was at.
"I'm sorry Mikey…" He sobbed, grabbing my forearm. "Please don't hate me, I am so sorry…"
"Don't beat yourself up… I… I was just hurt. I don't like watching you self destruct, and I know one holiday clean might not help, but I just wanted to spend time with you while you were sober…."
He sniffed and rested his head against my upper arm. "I'm sorry… I just… Iunno… I did somethin stupid."
The cold in the air finally caught up to me and I shivered, cussing under my breath for even stepping outside without a coat. His life was worth it though.
"Come on… How about you come inside and we talk some, hm?" I suggested, pulling away some and rubbing his shoulder.
He nodded and unbuckled himself, waiting for me to step out of the way of the door before walking out. He paused and removed his jacket, draping it over my shoulders.
"You don't havta-" I started.
"No, it's the least I can do." He said and started walking toward the house with me.
"You're the best brother ever, y'know?" I said, on his heels as we entered the house again.
He and I had been close my entire life, and I can only remember fighting with him after his drinking started getting out of hand. I didn't understand what had happened beforehand to make him want to drink anyway, because I didn't think he was at the point where withdrawal would seriously fuck him up. I wanted to ask so bad, I wanted to know why he needed to drink. Maybe that would help me deal with his problem, if I could find out what made him need to, habit, emotion, whatever.
When he kicked off his shoes, I took a stride over to him and wrapped my arms around him, giving him an actual hug. He was warm, despite just getting inside from the freezing December air. His cheeks were rosy pink on his flawless ivory skin. He didn't really take care of himself, but he definitely kept his hygiene in order. It took him a second before he wrapped his arms back around me and patted my back some.
"I'm glad you came back in…" I said.
Gerard was now curled up in a ball of himself on the opposite side of the couch watching some old Rudolf movie intently for a moment before his eyes slowly began to fall shut. He struggled to keep them open, trying his best to stay awake and not crash on the couch. I couldn't help but snicker at him, he's hardly changed since we were kids.
"You gonna fall asleep out here?" I asked, and poked the bottom of his foot with my own. He let out a small giggle and allowed his eyes to part slightly.
"Of course. I always sleep on the couch Christmas eve." He said, stretching out his arms some and letting them flop back down. "It's tradition."
"You know mom doesn't like it when we sleep on her nice couch."
"Well she gets to be unhappy in the name of tradition. You don't just break a tradition, especially a Christmas tradition."
"Alright then, I'm going to follow your lead but first I'm going to change." I shook my head, grinning at him.
"Aw shit yeah I don't want to sleep in these jeans. They're too damn tight." He agreed and sat up.
I made my way up the steps, Gerard close behind me before he ducked into the guest room. I got into my own room shortly after and changed into a ratty band shirt and a comfortable pair of pajama bottoms that were littered in ducks. I took a moment to breathe before going back downstairs, to see my brother already curled back up on the couch in a longs sleeve shirt and pajama shorts.
"That's a little silly, don't you think?" I said, sitting back down in my own spot opposite Gerard.
"What's a little silly?" He asked, perking up slightly.
"Long sleeve shirt and shorts." I snickered.
"It can be a little silly all it wants to be, but it's more than a little comfy." He said and stuck his tongue out at me briefly before resting his head back on his pillow and closing his eyes.
I smiled and pulled a blanket from the back of the chair and managed to cover both Gerard and I without any issue. Snuggled into mom's nice pretty couch while leaving the TV on for background noise, I feel asleep.
Christmas is absolute madness. Alicia, my girlfriend, had finally made her way down to the house, and she refused to stop gossiping about Gerard with my mother and father. They were discussing his alcoholism with her over their third large glass of red wine. I couldn't stand listening to them, so I just hung out with him for a while, sitting on the floor, watching another Christmas movie. Occasionally one of us would get up to get things to drink, but there wasn't much time spent around the fucking gossips for Gerard to hear his name mentioned.
I finished my glass of water and decided I should refill it now even though I didn't want more immediately. I hoisted myself off the floor and made my way into the kitchen where they were, standing in a half circle rolling their eyes every time they spoke his name.
"Okay, I want to let you know, I can fucking hear you." I snapped at them, trying to keep my voice down.
"Mikey we're not even talking about you." Alicia smiled.
"You're talking about my fucking brother and I honestly don't think you should be because you don't fucking know him." I pointed at her. I think this is the first time I've been legitimately pissed at her.
"I know enough about his type."
"His type my ass. You don't know my damn brother so you can just cut this shit out."
"He's a deadbeat drunk. He smells like stale booze and looks like he hasn't washed his hair in three years. His clothes have burn holes in them from smoking. Let's face it, he's pretty much the poster child for people that're wasting their life."
"I know he's got a drinking problem, but-" I started before I was cut off.
"I didn't know I was involved in any ad campaign, Alicia." Gerard spoke up, coffee mug in hand.
"Hey now, be nice to her." Dad added.
"Were you even fucking hearing her talk? She called me a god damn drunken whiffy deadbeat."
"In her defense, you are getting a little... sloppy." Mom chimed in. I shot her as intense a glare as I could muster.
"A little sloppy?"
"Gerard, she didn't mean it like that..." I started, stepping toward him.
"That's fuckin' bullshit, you're all sitting out here havin' a fuckin' babble session ya bunch ah flibbertigibbets." Gerard snapped.
Everyone that wasn't Gerard shared a look of confusion due to Gerard's sudden (and correct) use of flibbertigibbets. He had a shocking vocabulary when he was legitimately angry.
"I was standing up for you..." I began. "But it would probably be in your best interest to stop drinking so much..."
"Oh, here we go again. Fuck you, princess Grinch. You've got quite the way with ruining the holidays." He pointed at Alicia.
"Excuse me? Are you going to let him talk to me like that?" She inquired, giving me a disapproving look.
"Can you maybe calm down some, Gee?" I requested. I couldn't be mad at him for calling her out for being rude.
"Mhm, take the demonic bitch's side. That's fine. I'll be fucking leaving now." Gerard stated and marched out the door, mug in hand, without any of his belongings.
"Look at what you fucking did!" I hissed at Alicia. "It was none of your damn business and none of you could just keep your comments to yourself until he fucking left."
"Right now you're no better than your brother with the way you're talking to me."
"I'd go as far as to say you deserved everything he said to you!" I replied as she rolled her eyes and turned away from me and my parents looked at the ground rather than at me. "Un-fucking-believable." I scoffed and left the kitchen, storming upstairs to my bedroom.
I guess that was the reason I couldn't remember our fight... I didn't want to. My brother needed someone on his team and I wasn't there for him. I got a bad feeling just thinking about how hurt he probably was. I promised myself that when he got here I'd hug him and apologize before anything else, it was the least he deserved.

7 Ideas for a Tiny Bathroom
This bathroom from House to Home is so tiny that the sink actually overlaps the bathtub just a bit. Even though it's a very small space, it feels light and airy thanks to a few key design decisions...
• Three mirrors hung high create a "window," with a functional makeup mirror below.
• Ledges along the mirrors and wall create storage space for bath products.
• Iridescent tile subtly reflects light without overwhelming the small space.
• A wall-hung sink has a smaller footprint than a pedestal or countertop sink.
• Light gray and blue offset the white of the porcelain fixtures and mirrors.
• A seashell and a botanical print bring the natural world inside.
• Minimal stainless steel faucets match the simplicity of the tub and sink.

These ideas are nice for moderately sized bathrooms, like the one pictured. But I don't think you really know what a small bathroom is like. I have a 5' x 5' bathroom. No room for a luxurious tub. No room for extra ledges on the walls (the door opens into the towel rack as it is).
My bathroom is only slightly larger than medenver - I bash me knee constantly on the vanity trying to get through the 15" wide space to get to the doorway. Luckily we're renting and it's temporary.
Seriously. This bathroom is not small. It has a full tub, a sink and a toliet (placed horizontally I might had which is not the case in really small bathrooms) and obviously room for someone to stand with a camera and not be IN the photos while they do it.
I think these are fabulous ideas for expanding this bathroom! I especially like the simplicity of the sink, plus, the all white color scheme helps give it a clean, fresh look!
I must agree with everyone, that bathroom look huge to my comparatively shoeboxed sized bathroom. I would kill for a bathtub.
What a nice little sink! I'm sure it costs a month's salary. Anyone know where to buy it?
All I can say is Kohler Greek. Its a four foot long, deep and just a little bit wider than usual tub. There is actually room for two in my 4x6 bathroom with this charmer. And yes, a small wall hung sink makes a big difference.
I had a bathroom smaller than 5 x 5 (it was really just a walled off corner of a studio apartment) but it still had room for a tub. We were just lucky the door opened outwards, or your would have to step in the tub just to pull the door open and get out... although thinking about how they crammed the toilet and sink in there, that might not even work either.
Is that a "tankless" toilet next to the sink?
Wow small bathrooms. I thought we had a small one at about 8' by 5'. We are renting so we are stuck with it though -- it does have a full sized tub (that the shower is in like most rentals), a toilet, and a sink with small vanity. Also a towel rack but the door opens onto it.
This is the second rental with a bathroom door that opens and nearly hits the sink or towel bar on the wall. Larger people tend to get trapped trying to open the door into the tiny bathroom in the wrong order of operations.
Small is when you have a "mini-tub" tucked into a corner (i.e., walls surround 3 sides), while on the other side of one wall is a mini-sink. Toilet is in front of both. Prob about 5'x4' altogether. We cut our shower curtain in half so that it is a proper fit in front the tub entrance.
Our tub is surrounded on three sides with the toilet next to it and then the sink next to it. It's can be very cramped trying to get ready in the morning - got to the point where we hung an additional mirror in the hallway outside it for the other person to comb hair, etc.
The lack of shower curtain also contributes to the openness -- normally they chop the room in half. But it's a bit impractical not to have one at all...
I got y'all beat so far -- my bathroom is 3'x4' (1m x 1.2m). Granted, it doesn't have a toilet, since I live in France and as is the norm, we have separate WCs (water closets). I had an even smaller one in my last place, and it *did* have a toilet!

In comparison, the "small" bathroom shown above looks positively grand!
MY bathroom is 14" x 19" !!! I have to shower, relieve myself AND wash myself in the specially made sink! take THAT!
smh....sheeeesh people.. this isn't a pissing contest.
Way to miss the point jamilkb! Apartment Therapy is getting out of touch. This is not a small bathroom to feature as a small bathroom for apartment dwellers and like more and more of their posts probably features unaffordable and unattainable products. I would not be shocked to learn the bathroom was designed by a team of professionals and the sink was cast by hand in Italy and is only available to purchase in a single showroom, by appointment, in Oslo.
My bathroom is 4x4 feet. A small bathtub, a toilet and no sink. Thankfully, there is a window and I get a lot of light. I live in a rental, but I changed the tiles from ghastly yellow to white and raised the ceiling by a foot. I love it now. It's small, but serene.
Rick Roberts,
Check out http://www.rensup.com
When I serched a small sink for my small (5' x 6.5') bathroom, I came across this company.
They many not have this exact sink, but they have many smart products for small bathroom (e.g., corner toilet and corner sink)
I bought a sink and it's accessory from them.
I am very happy with their products, price and services.
Please please take a picture of your "special sink" area.
I am dying to see it.
Yes, seriously...not a "pissing contest". (huge pun)
I have a very small bathroom, looks about the size of the one in the photo. These are great tips as I plan to remodel. Thank you for a great post!
Where do you find prints like the one they have in this post?
Amphora: The title of the post says it all " IDEAS for a tiny bathroom"
Miaues: Unfortunately I was only joking to make a point. sorry for any confusion there. :)
pxlchk1: wow, your bath is almost exactly like ours! I really like what you have done with it. Do you find cleaning a full wall of tile to be an issue? We're thinking about tiling all of our walls also.
Yeah I just moved into a new place this past weekend, and already miss my bathtub! :'( This bathroom is 3.5' by 6.5'. It's SO narrow. :s There's not even a space for a towel rack - you wouldn't be able to open the door. I'm not quite sure what the hell to do with it- and they painted it like acid robin egg blue. It's.... nice and clean but tiny and non functional. And with two kids... I'm at a loss.
That bathroom isn't that big...look at the space between the tub, sink, and toilet. Not much, I'd guess about what our 1970s rental has (though the tub itself is prolly bigger). I don't see AT getting out of touch. A lot of the tips featured here can be done dirt cheap.
Mom and dad managed to get a jaccuzi tub into a bathroom that you literally can't fit two people into at the same time. It's all about using your space the right way (pedestal sink and built in med cabinet really helped).
of all the photos pictured, in comments too, my bathroom is smallest by far! its so hard to clean too because the tinier the space, the more concentrated the mess. I have a tub and next to it on the north side is the toilet, on the south side is the sink, so there is about 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet of floor in between. you can wash your hands while sitting on the toilet almost.
Love the inspiration but i think i have a lot of brainstorming to do, or just moving out! bathroom hatred!
