In a press release titled 'State aid: Ireland gave illegal tax benefits to Apple worth up to €13 billion', the Commission listed out how Ireland, over the period of several years, 'granted undue tax benefits' to Apple, enabling the company to pay as low as 0.005 per cent of its profits in taxes to the country. The commission adds that no other company registered in Ireland enjoys such low taxes and as such, the 'state aid' granted to Apple goes against the EU's state aid rules.
Vestager has been at the helm of affairs at the EU competition commission for a while and has led popular antitrust probes against Google for the way it scripts contracts with OEMs for Android and how Google unfairly skews shopping results to benefit its services. She recently struck down the much-anticipated merger between Three and O2 in the UK, citing chances of higher pricing and lesser choices for consumers. She has been leading an investigation against Ireland's tax doles to Apple for a while, so we wonder if executives at Apple knew that they had it coming.
EU vs Google: What it means for you?
"Member States cannot give tax benefits to selected companies – this is illegal under EU state aid rules. The Commission's investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many years," said Vestager. "In fact, this selective treatment allowed Apple to pay an effective corporate tax rate of 1 per cent on its European profits in 2003 down to 0.005 per cent in 2014," she added.
The unpaid taxes are alleged to have been incurred by Apple between 2003 and 2014, a period when Ireland's tax demands from the company went down gradually until it hit 0.005% in 2014. Ireland charges corporate taxes of up to 12.5% on all profits from other companies, whether from income or gains. The country also charges 25% corporation tax on income accruing from rent or investment.
According to the European Competition Commission, Apple has two companies registered in Ireland, namely Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe. Apple's profits from sales of devices and services in the entire EU Single Market goes to Apple Sales International which paid taxes which were just 0.005% of its overall profits. The EU adds that the two companies transferred their profits to an unknown 'head office' which was not subjected to tax in other countries as per an Irish tax law which is no longer in force.
In 2015, a year after Ireland imposed a corporation tax of 0.005% on these two companies, Apple restructured both of them, probably because of the ongoing investigation conducted by the EU, because of which an Irish tax ruling which applied specifically to them collapsed. Just because Apple is back to paying taxes like other companies, the EU does not want to exonerate them for the lack of taxes paid in the 11-year period between 2003 and 2014. Apple Sales International earned a profit of €16 billion in 2011 but only paid taxes (at a lower rate) for €50 million which was considered as taxable income.
EU blocks Three & O2 merger: What it means for the consumer
"The Commission's investigation has shown that the tax rulings issued by Ireland endorsed an artificial internal allocation of profits within Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe, which has no factual or economic justification," said the EU's press release.
"As a result of the tax rulings, most sales profits of Apple Sales International were allocated to its "head office" when this "head office" had no operating capacity to handle and manage the distribution business, or any other substantive business for that matter. Only the Irish branch of Apple Sales International had the capacity to generate any income from trading, i.e. from the distribution of Apple products. Therefore, the sales profits of Apple Sales International should have been recorded with the Irish branch and taxed there," it added.
Apple responded by publishing a letter directed at the Apple Community in Europe. It began by saying that the company's success is a result of innovative products that excite customers rather than tax avoidance anywhere. "As responsible corporate citizens, we are also proud of our contributions to local economies across Europe, and to communities everywhere. As our business has grown over the years, we have become the largest taxpayer in Ireland, the largest taxpayer in the United States, and the largest taxpayer in the world," said the letter.
Apple contends that it abided by guidance from tax authorities in Ireland and all of its financial decisions were in response to such tax rulings. The same principle applies to every other country and by asking Apple to pay taxes that even Ireland says it doesn't owe them, the EU Commission "has launched an effort to rewrite Apple's history in Europe, ignore Ireland's tax laws and upend the international tax system in the process."
Apple adds that EU's ruling would undermine the sovereignty of EU member states on tax matters and both Apple and Ireland will appeal the ruling and are confident that it will be overturned. The company also terms the ruling as an 'obvious targeting of Apple' and that it will potentially harm investment and job creation in Europe.
The European Commission may be justified in highlighting tax rules of member states that give preferential treatment to individual companies at the cost of others. If the Commission has relevant jurisdiction over the matter, it may be able to enforce the ruling on Apple to create a level playing field for all companies vying for space in the highly competitive smartphone, tablet, internet services and apps markets.
EU unhappy that Google Shopping is always first on Google Search
Apple contends that it abided by Ireland's tax rules but never did the company contend that it won't abide by such rules unless the same rules were extended to other companies to abide by principles of fair competition. It is also surprising that the likes of Google and other competitors did not mention or highlight that such tax laws existed since 1991 which solely favoured Apple. Apple took a major stand against the FBI earlier this year in the name of 'principle' when it decided not to create a software to unlock an iPhone which belonged to a terrorist.
The fact that Apple decided to create its European subsidiaries in Ireland despite the fact that there were other countries which offered larger markets for its iPhones, other products and services, may point to the fact that these may have been a give-and-take relationship. Ireland as a sovereign country has the right to decide its own tax laws and it will be interesting to see whether it's sovereignty or the European Commission's principles will eventually overcome a long-drawn litigation which will soon follow.

A wealthy businessman who runs a chain of upmarket coffee shops in south London today apologised for his "unacceptable" behaviour after being filmed in an extraordinary road-rage rant with a cyclist.
Father-of-two Jason Wells, 50, who lives with his family in a £3million house near Richmond Park in south-west London, is being investigated by police over the four-letter tirade.
Cycle-cam footage of the Melbourne-born entrepreneur calling the cyclist a "f***ing idiot" and threatening to "eat you for breakfast" has been watched more than 60,000 times since it was posted on YouTube by the rider at the weekend.
Hundreds of cyclists took to social media calling for a boycott on Wells' coffee chain Brew, which has branches in Clapham, Putney, Wimbledon and Wandsworth. The company has held cycle workshops promising to "fix up your bike while you enjoy a coffee."
Mr Wells, who trained as a master butcher, said today: "I would like to apologise for any offence caused. My behaviour was unacceptable and regardless of the situation, I shouldn't react like that.
"I fully appreciate that cyclists have as much right to the road as any other road users."
Mr Wells declined to comment further when approached by the Evening Standard about the incident.
Dressed in a dark suit, he sprinted out of his three-storey house in Richmond this morning saying: "I don't have any comment darling, I don't have any comment."
He then ran up the hill outside his house.
There were three cars parked outside the house - including the Land Rover - and a bicycle.
The row was sparked when Mr Wells attempted to overtake the cyclist in his luxury black Land Rover Discovery 4 at a mini-roundabout in Priory Lane, Roehampton, two miles from the five-bedroom home where he lives with wife Jacqueline and their children aged 15 and 16.
The four-minute video appears to show Mr Wells slowing down to allow the cyclist to catch up before closing the space between them.
Mr Wells shouts "There's a ******* cycle lane". He then gets out of his car and the pair launch into an angry exchange.
The cyclist, who posted the video under the name Cycletourer8, replies "I am legally allowed here" before another rider steps in to try to help break up the heated argument in the middle of the road.
Dressed in a tight-fitting black leather jacket and gesticulating wildly, Mr Wells then shouts for the cyclist to "Put your bike down you ****."
After threatening call police and "smash your ******* teeth down your throat" he returns to his car, but can still be heard shouting abuse to the cyclist as he drives off.
The black Land Rover was parked in the gravelled driveway of the family's Victorian townhouse last night. Asked for a comment, woman who answered the door told the Standard: "Thank you. No, go away, sorry."
The video sparked outcry on social networks last night and calls for a boycott on Brew began trending in London.
Will Thomson wrote: "Not a cyclist friendly cafe then! #boycottbrew."
Chris Avison posted: "Not going to @brew_cafe again! I don't care how bad a day someone might have had. There is no excuse for Jason Wells' actions. #boycottbrew."
And Michael Davis added: "Looks like a lot of people will be avoiding this place now! @BrewWells."
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Officers from the Putney Safer Neighbourhood Team are investigating an incident which took place on 14 March near Priory Lane, SW5 involving a cyclist and the driver of a vehicle.
"On May 14 a 50-year old man voluntarily attended a south London police station where he was interviewed in connection with the incident.
"The man was not arrested. Enquires continue."Reuse content

A quilt can be the perfect gift for weddings, baby showers or a nice addition to your home. Quilt squares range from simple and classic to intricate and difficult to create. Beautiful quilts can be made by using a simple square pattern with different configurations and fabrics. A nine-patch quilt is a simple square pattern that is perfect for beginners.
Things You'll Need
- Two colors of fabric -- one dark, one light
- Washer and dryer
- Laundry soap
- Posterboard
- Pencil
- Iron
- Sewing machine
- Thread
Sew quilt blocks in even numbered inches. For example, the blocks could measure 6 inches by 6 inches, 8 inches by 8 inches, 12 inches by 12 inches, etc.
Wash and dry the fabrics before you begin quilting. This will reduce the chance one or both fabrics will shrink after the quilt is created.
Create a template for your quilt squares. This will save time and keep all the quilt squares the same size. Measure posterboard to the correct size and cut it out.
Use a pencil to trace the posterboard on the wrong side of the fabric, or the side that will not face up when the quilt is together. Cut out five squares from the dark fabric and four squares from the light fabric.
Put the squares on a work area. Place four dark squares in four corners and the additional dark square in the center. Fill in the center of the top, bottom, right and left of the block with the light squares. The final pattern will resemble a checkerboard.
Sew the first row of squares together. Leave a 1/4-inch seam allowance for sewing purposes. Place the first square on top of the second and sew the right sides together. Place the third square on top of the second square and sew the right sides together. Repeat for the other two rows of squares.
Press all the seams of the right side rows and sew the rows together. Place the first row on top of the second and sew the right sides together. Please the last row on top of the second row and sew the right sides together.
Press the seams down and repeat until all squares are created. Sew the squares together.
Tips & Warnings
- When the squares are sewn together, the quilt can be framed for hanging on a wall or a backing can be sewn on it for practical use.
- The more practice with the square pattern, the more difficult patterns can be attempted
- Always ask an adult to supervise children using a sewing machine.

The model I have I have had since 1999. I have traveled with it from Texas to Alaska and back, to Florida and back to Alabama and back to Georgia and back, to new York and back, to California and back, camping all along the way, it has not failed me yet. Took it to Yosemite National Park and many Texas state parks, it has not failed me yet. The only maintenance I had to do on it was to replace the O ring.
We have bought the Coleman 2 Burner Stove and this I have to say is a lifesaver! It's durable in the weather compact easy to carry lightweight easy to assemble, but even better to cook up any meal or brew up some great coffee. we have enjoyed this unit and having the extra bottles of propane and propane carrying case is a good touch.
I originally bought this for canning projects, due to the 3 burner capacity. Haven't tried canning with it yet, but have used it for all sorts of other cooking. It comes with a cast iron griddle, one side smooth and one side with ridges. Chicken, pork chops, and steaks are cooked to perfection! The windscreen is very effective and only had the flame blow out once when set at low setting on an extremely windy day. I place my foldable Coleman oven on the grill for baking scalloped potatoes, ... muffins, cinnamon rolls, etc., and the stove keeps it a nice stable 350 degree on the low setting. Also, I believe this will be able to replace my old fish fryer, since all three burners get really hot on the high setting. I added the folding shelves as an accessory. These shelves are not only handy to have, but are extremely sturdy, as is the entire unit. This is not cheaply manufactured and is well worth the selling price -- quality crafted and built to last!
I should have purchased this thing long ago. Built well. Runs like a champ. Lots of canning and cowboy breakfasts in our future!
I have this little burner in addition to a 2 burner I have. It gets the job done, no frills, also no grills. Unless you absolutely have to have something of this size, I wouldn't purchase this. Not to say it doesn't work well, because it does. I would just personally choose something with at least two burners and a grill.
Going on 1 year of reliable use. I even cooked a 3 gallon gumbo with this burner. Its also extremely efficient on gas.
I bought this product over three years ago as an emergency stove for the hurricane season in case the power went out. It turned out to be more useful than I thought, I pack it whenever we're outdoors and have used it for patio cooking. The versatile stove has good BTUs (I used it on a couple crawfish boils) and great simmer control. The grill has great flame to grill surface ratio so the meat cooks evenly. The drip pan ensures there's less mess with the grease and if you line the catch pan ... wih foil, cleaning is a breeze. The fold away platforms and the cover make great wind breakers for outdoor cooking. I highly reccomend this product.
Took this to Inks Lake this week. Cooked on it 4 times. The surface around the circular burner would not clean up. I used SOS and Comet. Was disappointed in this. I new stove looked like it be used for some time. Returned the Item
Bought to use canning food from our garden. I works great. Temp is easy to control.
Just what I wanted and needed . Been useing it at home and camping .
My daughter-n-laws parents have one in which they all use on their deer lease. My daughter wanted to get her brother one so they would have their on !!! Cleans up very easily!!! Everyone enjoys the Gladiator Coleman Stove!!!
I've had this stove for years and works fantastic!!!! Mine is 3 years old and just buy new propane Coleman tanks and you're all set for a while for cooking you favorite dish!!!! I've cooked hamburgers, mac and cheese, bacon, and much more!!!!! I would recommend this highly!!!!!!

Bale and Coleman hail the Welsh wonder at Euro 2016
Gareth Bale paid tribute to his Wales team-mates as they stormed into the Euro 2016 semi-finals after a 3-1 win against Belgium.
The Welsh nation erupted with joy as Ashley Williams, Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes saw the goal to see off a star-studded Belgium side, setting up a last four clash with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal next Wednesday.
"We fought as hard as anyone," said an elated Bale. "We covered every blade of grass. I think we deserve to be in the semi-finals. We believe in ourselves. We know what we're doing.
"It feels incredible. We fully believed we could get this far. We said we'd give it a good go. We're enjoying the journey.
"We'll go into the semi-final with confidence. We can't afford to look past that game.
"We'll do our homework and work on our game plan. It's not long before the next game. I'm sure there'll be a few celebrations but not too much.
"It means everything. Our fans were 10 times as loud despite there being much more Belgians in the crowd. We'll enjoy the journey together."
Emotional Wales boss Chris Coleman offered up these words for his heroes in red, on a night that will live long in the memory for a coach who was on the brink of the sack four years ago.
"When you have players like Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale and Joe Allen, you've got to play football," said Coleman.
"Get the best out of your best players, and you get the best out of your team.
"Our only gripe in the England game was we didn't pass the ball - we have in every other game.
"We wanted to come and show people we can be a very offensive team. And we've done that."

Project Description2004 CHDA
Accessory Building / Merit Award
"If you were a kid, you'd be thrilled with this," said one of the judges of this jewel of a playhouse. But from the entire jury's reaction to the structure, children aren't the only ones it will thrill; plenty of adults will enjoy it too.
This little folly was designed and built for a fund-raiser for the Providence, R.I., Children's Museum. It's meant to be a miniature version of a vernacular New England cottage, explained architect William Burgin, but one that's generic enough to allow kids' fancy to take flight, imagining it as a beach cottage, fort, Newport mansion, or a village railway station.
As an actual building, the judges admired the playhouse's high level of detailing, its perfectly downsized scale, and its crisp, simple design. They also admired it as an act of goodwill; both the architect, who is a member of the museum's board of trustees, and the builder donated their services. The materials were donated by local businesses.

Farmers' market opens Saturday
Wednesday, Jun 11, 2014 06:00 am
For many shoppers, visiting the St. Albert Farmers� Market is a weekly highlight � browsing, walking, sampling and just being in the centre of town mingling with crowds.
There are just four days until the 32nd annual St. Albert Farmers� Market officially opens Saturday, June 14 for an 18-week season.
More and more people � not just chefs, cooks and travellers � are making the local market a destination. The St. Albert Chamber of Commerce bills the event as the largest outdoor market in Western Canada, boasting more than 250 vendors. Last year, it attracted about 15,000 to 20,000 people every day.
Market manager Debbie Grant believes numbers could increase this year due to the market�s expansion further south on St. Anne Street.
Catering to new culinary trends and consumer requests, several new food trucks will be stationed along St. Anne Street and around the St. Albert Place plaza.
More than hotdogs and hamburgers, Aussie Tucker introduces sandwiches, cakes, bacon and egg rolls and yes, pukked pork. The Crooked Fork brings to the table crepes, pretzels, shrimp cakes and pasta while Perogy Princess ladles out perogies, cabbage rolls, kubasa and borscht soup.
In addition to a demand for a larger assortment of prepared ethnic foods, more gluten-free items are the big trend and will make an impact on shoppers, Grant says.
�More vendors are recognizing the necessity of gluten-free items in their products. Vendors are making changes based on customer requests.�
In recognition of National Aboriginal Day, the market has themed its opening day with aboriginal events that include drumming and dancing from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. In addition, there is an all-day smudging ceremony, face painting and the not to be missed bannock and jam sampling. Poundmaker elder Virgil Erminskin and his helper Gary Littlechild will preside over ceremonies.
�We just wanted to do something different that hadn�t been done before � something that is culturally a part of our heritage,� said Grant.
The St. Albert Community Concert Band is also slated to entertain the crowds from 10 a.m. to noon.
Grant also mentioned that the St. Albert Chamber of Commerce and the city�s visitor information arm will share a tent this year.
�We want to encourage visitors to stay and experience the city and enjoy the features in the city. We have a beautiful city with lots of nice attractions and we hope to get people to extend their stay visiting different attractions,� Grant said.
The Botanic Bus that loops from the Enjoy Centre to the market and the botanic park will once again be on site.
�Last year we had a six-week trial period and we extended it from the feedback we got. That�s just another attraction people can visit.�
With virtually no parking � Grandin Park Plaza is closing its parking lot due to construction � there are few options left.
Grant encourages visitors to use the free park �n ride available at St. Albert Centre. It will depart from the mall every Saturday at 9:40 a.m. and every 20 minutes thereafter until 3:20 p.m.
The St. Albert Farmers� Market�s operating hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We have helped hundreds of amputees regain their independence, self-esteem and mobility and given them renewed confidence to face an often uncertain future.
Wherever possible we use the Rehabilitation Code to access early support to address the obvious and less apparent physical and psychological complications that amputees can suffer, such as phantom limb pain or the psychological impact of losing a limb.
The Rehabilitation Code was developed jointly between insurers and solicitors to promote co-operation and is supported by all the main associations for insurers and personal injury lawyers in the UK.
The Code maintains that ensuring and improving your quality of life should be the first priority of your solicitor and should also be the aim of your opponent's insurance company. The code is designed to promote the use of rehabilitation and early intervention in the claims process so that you make the best and quickest possible recovery.
That's why Access Legal will take the lead in assessing your medical and financial needs and make sure any immediate needs are met by securing interim payments as required and negotiating the best possible award to enable continuing treatment, support and assistance for the rest of your life.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a quick post to wish everyone a wonderful thanksgiving and give an update on my classes!
Macro Photography went extremely well – everyone enjoyed the course and our outing went perfectly. I typically do not shoot when I'm teaching, however I made one image at the end of the day:
Nature & Landscape Photography is coming up, starting October 24th. I have six students signed up so far, and I need a few more before the course will run. Check it out if you are interested!
Also, I'll be speaking at the Orangeville Camera Club on Tuesday October 18th. The topic will be macro photography, centered around snowflakes.
Upcoming talk: Vision Beyond Seeing
This month, on September 29th, I will be making a presentation to the Barrie Photo Club titled "Vision Beyond Seeing."
The talk will be a somewhat philosophical and scientific approach to photography and the way we view the world. Including:
– Difference between Eye and Sensor (more than you think!)
– Reading a Photograph
– Seeing things you ignore
and more…. but I'll leave it at that for now. 🙂
If you have any interest in photography, it'll be worth attending. Here's the details:
Where? Barrie Southshore Centre
When? Sept 29 2011, 7:00PM
How long? 1 hour (roughly)
Cost? Free for club members, $5 for guests
I don't usually make a post without a new image, so here is one that I took on a recent trip to the New Liskeard area. The location is called Devil's Rock, and requires about a 45min hike to arrive at. Glad I was there in the early morning:
Upcoming Course: Macro Photography @ Georgian College!
Just wanted to let everyone know about some upcoming courses I'm teaching – the soonest being Macro Photography, starting Monday September 19th.
The course is a lot of fun, and you don't need any special equipment to take a lot away from it. I cover the equipment you need (far less than you might expect), the challenges, subjects, lighting, everything. From Green Sweat Bees (Agapostemon angelicus) like the one above and other insects, to snowflakes, water droplets, flowers, abstracts, etc.
Its a night course at Georgian College Barrie campus, 7-10PM on Mondays (sept 19, 26, Oct 3) with a six-hour daytime outing on Saturday October 1st. No prerequisites, anyone can sign up. CRN 15189, $132.00.
Link to Macro Photography course description + Signup
Only basic camera knowledge is necessary, and we'll take it from there. The more you know however, the more you'll understand immediately. Currently I have 5 students, and it won't run with this few – I need about 7 or so before the course will run. Tell your friends! "Like" this post too if you can, it always helps. 🙂
(Also upcoming: Nature & Landscape Photography, October 24-November 12)
Trillium Species of Ontario
Ontario has more Trillium species than you might be aware of – Five to be exact. I'm reposting all of my photos in one complete set – enjoy!
To start this post off, here is the flower that everyone knows and loves, the White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum):
The White Trilliums are the symbol of Ontario (used in the logo for the province and the provincial flower) and a symbol of spring. They bloom before the deciduous trees in the forests come back to life, taking all of the sunlight for themselves and away from the forest floor. They can be found all throughout Ontario.
Next up, the Red Trillium (Trillium erectum):
Red Trilliums differ from the white variety in a few important ways. Their colour and smell are designed to imitate rotting meat – this is because these flowers are not pollinated by bees, but rather by flies. Red Trilliums are also observed to bloom earlier than White Trilliums, the change in pollination might also be because flies are out sooner than bees are, giving these flowers a better chance for success in early spring.
A little less common, but very beautiful: the Painted Trillium (Trillium undulatum):
Painted Trilliums have a splash of colour near the base of the leaves, redish purple that appears to be almost painted on (hence the name). This variety of trillium likes very acidic, humus-rich soils. You can find it around species of trees that like the same soil conditions, including eastern white pine, red maple, red spruce and balsam fir (thanks, Wikipedia!).
You have to look very carefully in Simcoe County to find the next one, though they are common the further northwest you travel: The Nodding Trillium (Trillium cernuum):
The Nodding Trillium's white flower hangs below the main pedals of the plant, making it difficult to spot from far away. The flower is also much smaller than any of the above species and is found in rich, moist soils.
The next is the rarest of the bunch; It is on Ontario's Endangered Species List and only found in two small patches in Sourthern Ontario – the Drooping Trillium (Trillium flexipes):
The Drooping Trillium was once found as far north-east as the Niagara Falls area, and as of 2009 is a protected species. It still exists in various parts of the United States, where it is often protected as well. The plant is quite similar to the Nodding Trillium, though it grows through a different range and has a noticeably different structure in the center of the flower.
I was in contact with a biologist who works for the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority, Muriel Andrae. She has this to say about the difference between the two flowers:
"The taxonomic distinction between the Drooping and Nodding relates to the stamens, the pollen-bearing structures in the flower. The "stem" of the stamen is called the filament and the "head" which has the actual pollen is called the anther.
In Drooping Trilliums (Trillium flexipes) the filaments are short, about a third as long as the anthers and not exposed in the fresh flower
While in the Nodding Trillium (Trillium cernuum) the filaments are 2/3 as long as the anthers or longer and plainly visible in the fresh flower."
So there you have it, all of the Trillium species in Ontario – from the common White Trillium to the endangered Drooping Trillium. I hope you enjoy the photo series and the information that goes along with it!
Upcoming courses at Georgian College
As many of you know, I teach photography at Georgian College. I have two courses coming up this month: Nature & Landscape Photography and Macro Photography.
Nature & Landscape Photography is an introductory course, covering all the basics and how they apply to nature, outdoor, landscapes and similar subjects. You can come in knowing just the basics and walk away with a wealth of knowledge:
Link to Nature & Landscape Photography at Georgian College – I'm teaching the course that starts May 18th, CRN 35190. Only a couple spots left on this one.
Macro Photography is a brand new course that I proposed to the college and they accepted. It covers everything to do with close-up photography and how to get the most out of your camera for flowers, insects, snowflakes,water droplets, just about anything on a small scale:
Link to Macro Photography at Georgian College – Only a few signed up so far, and I think I need 6 or 7 students for the course to run. Still time, it starts on May 31, CRN 35826.
I'm really enjoying my time at Georgian College, teaching photography is very rewarding for me, especially when I hear nothing but positive comments from my students. I just thought I'd post the courses here for anyone that is interested. 🙂

A Swedish player going under the moniker 'Ingrid_Swede' won $330,732.64 after winning a heads-up clash at a $200/$400 no-limit Hold'em table, producing the biggest reward for September.
HighStakesdb.com said that the heads-up battle was competitive and tense with a number of significant pots already having been played when 'Ingrid_Swede' raised to $1,400 from the button. Opponent 'I_Knockout_U' then re-raised to $4,400 before 'Ingrid_Swede' called.
On the 6d-7d-8c flop, 'I_Knockout_U' bet out $8,200 and 'Ingrid_Swede' then raised to $28,000. 'I_Knockout_U' responded by moving all-in for a total of $160,967 and 'Ingrid_Swede' called immediately.
Qs-3s finished out the board, ushering in the showdown and 'I_Knockout_U' showed 9h-8h for a pair of nines and a busted straight-draw. 'Ingrid_Swede' had, however, flopped the nuts holding Tc-9c and took home the over $330,000 pot.

Astoundingly clever; judicious and methodical, I am sensitive and perceptive with an eye for delicate and subtle detail. My talents and capabilities are wide; each being intensely researched, studied, practiced and passionately pursued. I create and educate simultaneously, and in so doing, lead.
Some Philosophy
There is a dynamic in the intelligence of things, be they sentient or otherwise. One of my first reactions to the term 'design' is to counter it with the word 'dasein'. I do this for both superfluous and thoughtful reasons. Design Dasein seems to flow off the tongue whether or not the German pronunciation is used for dasein. The other, more thought provoking consideration is that, in German, 'dasein' literally means 'being there'. Design 'being there' in english then takes on many iterations and perturbations of the phrase based on interpretation:
- Design being there as in a design is present
- Design being there as in a designed entity is present
- Design being there as in the presence in some place has been planned or mapped and so forth
Finally, and most importantly in my consideration, there is Martin Heidegger's interpretation of Dasein as 'being in the world.' This is not to say there is a 'being' of some kind in a 'world', but instead a conglomerate phrase understood as a whole. It's a totality concept which I am actually quite comfortable leaving as is in Heidegger's own words: [Dasein is] that entity which in its Being has this very Being as an issue Dasein seems to be not just the being-ness of being, but that being's consideration of its being-ness. All this, of course, leads to very silly sounding conversation, but such things happen when we dissect and discern to simpler forms.
Disclaimer: I am working on a much more cohesive design for this site that will be driven by the CMS Wordpress. Naturally, I have to do it all my way, which means implementing my own design as a template/theme. Progress is great and continues at a decent pace when I'm not grading, prepping for a show, making art in the first place, working on a client project and/or making the occasional latte. I beg your forgiveness with this current site as it is a quick, but dynamic, hand coded placeholder. The new site is very different, but it will be amazing.

What bothers me is that gurus like mr.doob aren't doing anything new with flash and started to play with html5 and canvas. When he was goofing around with PV3D I even didn't know how to code in AS3 .
gurus are developers who may interest in many technology, webgl is among them. There is nothing wrong to make experiment with html5 / webgl
By the way mr doob doesn't represent a whole flash community. His experiments are solely his own choice.
Who needs TechCrunch?

He's not the only one who abandoned flash. I followed for quite some time everydayflash.com and the author moved to Unity 3D.
I might do the same as soon Unity will be able to deploy swfs.

I might do the same as soon Unity will be able to deploy swfs.
I'll remember what you are saying, too bad no more flash file from flashedge
I found it funny that just because someone was good at Flash decided to experiment with other technology means Flash should be abandoned or dead.
Here are some background info before you decide to move away:
1) mr doob didn't create pv3d, he made some cool experiments with it but that's it. The core pv3d developers still make good living with Flash and as far as I know they don't intend to switch anytime soon: Ralph Hauwert, John Lindquist, Carlos Ulloa, Tim Knip, John Grden…
pv3d is pretty much dead at the moment, they have their own project and interest and experiment with numerous technologies: iOS, Android, Unity, webgl
2) Bartek /everyday3d.com turned his interest in Unity years ago since when Flash hasn't provide the power horse of hardware rendering, 3 years ago Unity was really hot technology. That doesn't mean he abandoned Flash, people still see him in many big Flash event and conference.
3) Grant Skinner recently publish a tweening javascript library to support animation in html5, he admits himself an interactive developer and has been playing with Flash for a decade, does that make him a Flash abandoner ?
Anyway this is way off topic and I'm not trying to convince you to stay or something, if you tend to go with Unity exporter you should be at least aware that it makes use of molehill API in the end with some cross compiler implementation. That is not as optimized as coding molehill right away in Flash.

Bruno's Aiming for a New Look with Coming Prototype
One of Alabama's oldest grocery chains said it has retained a new design firm to update its format and marketing strategy in 2009.
Bruno's Supermarkets, LLC will unveil new prototype store designs as well as a new brand in early 2009. "We're in the process of creating our new design," David Gagne, v.p., marketing for Birmingham, Ala.-based Bruno's, told Progressive Grocer Tuesday.
The Southeast grocer will begin rolling out the new store prototypes with three or four store remodels per year, and then two to three new stores in the next few years.
Locations for the new stores have not been finalized, but new store sites will be in major growth markets, according to Kent Moore, Bruno's president and c.e.o.
The grocer said it has chosen Palladeo, a Glendale, Calif.-based company, to handle the design and fabrication for the remake of its Food World and Bruno's stores.
Palladeo's Retail Strategy Group will also be Bruno's marketing agency, and, as Moore put it, would be "instrumental in the turnaround of Bruno's Supermarkets, from design through public relations."
Bruno's has 65 stores in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle under the Bruno's and Food World banners.

High-volume, high-speed operations.
Hobart FastRack systems can handle high volumes with production up to 367 racks or 9,175 pieces of ware per hour.
Rugged construction for long life, lower cost of ownership.
The frame and legs are stainless steel, as are the front panel and anti-clogging wash arms. The table surface is 14-gauge stainless steel with structural cross-supports. Even the control panel is stainless steel.
Easy to operate.
FastRack has simple, intuitive on/off and pump start switches mounted on top of the machine. One-button, automatic fill ensures optimum tank level and the simplest operation. Closing the door automatically actuates drain closure, eliminating extra manual steps and ensuring that the closure is in the correct position.
Labor saving.
The FastRack system can be designed to directly bring the ware to the operators, eliminating the running back and forth to load racks and unload clean ware. This results in significant time saving, reduced handling and less breakage.

Find out more about the course structure of our MSc Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels programme. Here, you can see an example of how your courses could look. These pages also provide information on mandatory modules and minimum credit points needed to proceed with the programme.
Programme Outline
The two-year MSc Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy programme will give you a systematic, in-depth understanding of the principles and practices of all stages of power system implementation and operation. The emphasis is on the transition from fossil-based power systems to renewable alternatives from a technical, environmental, economic and regulatory perspective. You will gain extensive knowledge on clean-combustion technologies, energy storage, and renewables-based energy systems.
The programme is strongly shaped by project-based and challenge-driven learning methods that give you hands-on, real-world experience outside the lecture hall. Students typically work in small groups of 6 – 10 people, which fosters strong relationships with professors and helps create an atmosphere of cooperation where complex practical skills can be developed.
Flexible study structures also allow you to follow your particular interests, while gaining the necessary core technical knowledge behind modern power systems.
Year 1
During the first year, the focus of study is on expanding essential knowledge of thermodynamics, clean combustion technologies and boiler design at one of two universities in Poland. You can choose to study at AGH: University of Science and Technology in Krakow, where there is a greater emphasis on thermodynamics within fuels, or SUT: Silesian University of Technology, in Gliwice, where greater emphasis is placed on combustion technologies and power systems.
Year 2
During the second year, all students study at IST: Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon, Portugal. Here you acquire further in-depth knowledge through individually chosen specialist courses: chemical fuels as part of the energy mix, or renewable energy as part of the energy mix.
Towards the end of your second year, you will undertake your Master's thesis, with a strong focus on innovative solutions relevant to your field of study. Students are encouraged to undertake their thesis with a relevant company in the field, which can be the same company at which they did their internship. The thesis project corresponds to five months of full-time study and is worth 30 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits. Example topics include: clean-combustion technologies; biomass technologies and/or renewables; and chemical-fuel concepts.
Summer school
All students also undertake an intensive 'Entrepreneur in a week' course at the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics in Portugal. Here you take courses relating to business and economics, including project management and business planning, to enhance your understanding of modern business practice in the energy sector. The course takes place either in your first summer or after your thesis, depending on your programme start date.
Complementary training
During the two-year programme, you have the opportunity to participate in project management training courses, leading to a valuable and industry-recognised PRINCE 2 qualification.
You can also take advantage of training courses in essential software packages that are widely used in the industry, including: AutoCAD, ChemCAD, and ANSYS among others.
Additional workshops also focus on personal skills and professional development including creative thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, pubic speaking, leadership, and self-presentation.
More information
Details of the syllabus and course structure of the programme, including mandatory modules and minimum credit points needed to proceed with the programme are available here.
During the two-year programme, there are plenty of opportunities for engaging with our industry and research partners and networking with your fellow students across Europe. More details are available here.
Read about our students here, to get an idea of what they think about the MSc Clean Fossil and Alternative Fuels Energy programme, and what career paths our graduates have chosen to follow.

Tissue bank facing new suit
Children of deceased Hilton woman say her body parts were removed without consentMay 20, 2006 | www.democratandchronicle.com
Saying their mother's body parts were harvested without consent, the children of a deceased Hilton woman filed suit Friday against an embattled New Jersey tissue bank and a Hilton funeral home.
The family of Georgia A. Beaton, who died in a Rochester hospital in April 2005 at the age of 59, alleges in legal papers that Biomedical Tissue Services extracted tissue from her body.
They say they never gave consent for the procedure, and that a tissue-donation form authorizing the extraction bears a fraudulent signature.
Their lawsuit, filed Friday afternoon in state Supreme Court, accuses the Burger Funeral Home, owner Thomas E. Burger and funeral director Jason L. Gano of allowing Biomedical personnel to conduct the illegal tissue recovery.
Lawyers for Biomedical and Burger could not be reached for comment Friday. Neither could Beaton's lawyers. One family member, James Beaton, declined to comment on Friday.
Georgia Beaton's four adult children three daughters who live in the Rochester area and son James, who lives in Georgia constitute the seventh local family to make similar accusations against Biomedical and local funeral homes.
The operator of the New Jersey firm, Dr. Michael Mastromarino, and three associates were indicted in Brooklyn in February on charges they recovered tissue from bodies without obtaining consent and sold it for use in medical procedures without ensuring it was free of infectious disease.
The allegations in that 122-count indictment arose from the firm's activity in New York City, where Biomedical operated when it first opened for business in 2002.
Biomedical opened a branch office in suburban Rochester in November 2004 and recovered tissue from as many as 65 cadavers in local funeral homes.
The firm, which did all its tissue recovery work in funeral homes, had business relationships with up to eight local funeral homes, officials have said. Funeral directors were offered fees of $1,000 per body, according to several local directors.
Biomedical ceased operations here and elsewhere in October 2005 when accusations against it became public and questions arose about the accuracy of its records.
A criminal investigation of Biomedical's activities in Rochester, involving law enforcement agencies from Brooklyn and Monroe County, is continuing.
No criminal charges have been filed against any local funeral homes.
The Beaton family says in their legal papers they learned of the improper harvesting from an investigator in the Kings County District Attorney's office in Brooklyn.
Six other families had previously joined a proposed class-action lawsuit in federal court here that claims Biomedical recovered tissue without consent.
Four of those families say the unauthorized tissue recovery was done at the Burger home. The other families allege the misconduct occurred at Profetta Funeral Chapel in Irondequoit and Webster and at Serenity Hills Funeral Home in Rochester.

- First Online:
- 61 Downloads
The recent death of Peter McHugh becomes an occasion for the remembrance and recollection of the distinctive form of reflexive or analytic social inquiry, which framed his work and that of his longtime friend and collaborator, Alan Blum. Following dual appointments at York University, Toronto, Canada in 1972, Blum and McHugh's partnership formed the basis for a community of scholars and students throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. A brief review of McHugh and Blum's works shows theoretical roots in social constructivism and a deep appreciation of the linguistic turn, which in turn lead to the development of a form of social analysis that meets the stringent requirements of a reflexive sociology by repudiating any claim to a privileged exemption of theoretical speech (practice) from the hermeneutical circle of speech and language. Blum and McHugh are shown to embrace and not to evade the hermeneutical circle by a form of social inquiry that subverts the inherent possibilities available within speech and social convention to make available an encounter with the (moral) authority or form of life for that self-same speech. With each example of everyday life or conventional usage, McHugh (and Blum) move from theorizing which formulates the complexity of a particular instance of social interaction through its rules, to the question of the form of life that make that particular instance of the rules possible. It is the pursuit of transparency between speech and its roots in language that informed and continues to inform the distinctive style of social theory fostered at York-Toronto under the orchestration of McHugh and Blum.

This past spring, the NFL Network turned to Martin and TEST Sports Clubs to help Rich Eisen cut down on his time in the 40-yard dash (every NFL combine, Eisen runs the dash in full suit). Martin and company achieved just that. Martin boasts three owned facilities in the New Jersey area in addition to two management contracts at Donald Trump's Trump National Golf courses and the TEST Football Academy also has a location in Miami.
Before the NFL Draft, Martin trained and mentored former Penn State linebacker Josh Hull. Martin has several dozen players currently in the league right now on NFL contracts.
FightOnState.com: Everyone who follows Penn State football knows that Josh Hull went from walk-on to star with the Nittany Lions. His work ethic is notorious. What did you see from Hull on and off the field during your months training him?
BM: I saw a driven individual who wants it as much as any athlete I have ever been around. He is a coach's dream with his work ethic and desire. I also learned that he is very funny and has a great personality. Often when you see such an intense linebacker, they are wound very tight off the field. Josh has a great family and is a balanced young man.
FOS: Any player that comes into your facility gets a complete analysis and break-down from body shape and type to fundamentals. What did you see in Hull that needed to be worked on to get him NFL ready?
BM: The two primary areas Josh needed to work on were linear speed - straight ahead speed - and flexibility in his hips to help him in pass coverage. He was very diligent with both and it will help him in the future. He is extremely quick from side to side but needs to continue to work on his straight ahead speed.
FOS: With a player like Hull, how much of what makes him a success goes beyond muscle and mass and really is in the heart of the player?
BM: Well… he has plenty of muscle and that is important but his heart and desire is what has gotten him to this point. He is tenacious in all that he does and I believe the Rams will be very pleased with what he brings to the table every week.
FOS: What impressed you the most about him as a player at first glance? Who does he remind you of in terms of a NFL linebacker?
BM: I was impressed with his excellent instincts and knack for always being around the ball. He reminds me a bit of Brian Urlacher because he is very tall and has range and always finds a way to make a play.
FOS: What are your thoughts on where he fell in the draft? A lot of the draft experts earlier in the year didn't have him rated very high but he seems to have really changed people's minds in the weeks leading up to the draft?
BM: We assumed he would be a late round pick. Many of the scouts and experts focused on the other two line backers coming out of Penn State and many were concerned about his linear speed. He did exceptionally well in all drills at the combine except the 40-yard dash but he redeemed himself in the 40 at Penn State's pro day so I think he fell right about where expected.
But I also believe the Rams got a steal in the 7th round. He had top 100 talent on film if you ask me…
FOS: What players from Penn State are you looking at this year to make a big statement before leaving for the league? Is there an under the radar guy who could use 2010 to springboard into a successful pro career? BM: Penn State always produces quality NFL talent. Obviously Evan Royster is a blue chip running back. If he can prove that he can be an every down work horse, he should be one of the top running backs taken in the 2011 draft.
A couple of other guys who have potential to rise are WR Graham Zug and DT Ollie Ogbu. Both have a chance to move up draft boards with a big senior season…

Many countries throughout Africa, Latin America and the Middle East faced with climate change and the host of problems it brings with it many of the world's poorest, least stable countries collapsed over the course of the 21st century. Although, many of those countries have regained they sovereignty, being Gilakistan the most recent one in 2169.
Just over half a billion people are estimated to inhabit the UN Pacified Zones, which are often subjected to extreme temperatures and have little arable land or water. This abject poverty resulted in instability which in turn resulted in conflict levels rising for the first time over the course of the late 2030s and throughout the 2040s. The UN's solution was to launch a 'War on War' in 2050 – the first of its decade-long plans. As part of these plans, the UN has established pacification/humanitarian missions in all of the world's poorest and least stable states (with a few notable exceptions) since 2050.
As of 2150 only Philippines continued to refuse the UN missions entrance to Panay, despite inter-communal violence and extreme poverty rife in the country.
Since 2132 there have been no terrestrial inter-state conflicts, an indicator, some argue, of the policies success. Much of the UN's work in the region is built around containment so as to prevent the chaos crossing borders (as it did in the Middle East) and policing the inhabitants whilst waiting for positions to become free in the developed world (including Mars or in Antarctica and Greenland where the UN has set up of two 'Free-States' just for this purpose. After the foundation of Imvusa Ikhaya massive numbers of refugees have fled to the colonies. Security is also important as a significant fraction of the world's power is generated by photovoltaic, solar furnace and solar updraft arrays located in the equatorial deserts, which often coincide with the swathe of failed states.
- Population (in millions): 500
- Percentage of global GDP: 1.5%

Wildcats Move Inside, Have Solid Focus and Concentration
March 28, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the final time this spring, the University of Kentucky football team held a shorts-and-helmets only practice at the Nutter Field House on Monday morning, with head coach Joker Phillips pleased with his team's focus and concentration.
On Saturday, Phillips was not pleased with his team's efficiency. However the second-year head coach was much happier Monday after practice, saying that he felt the cold temperatures and high winds probably influenced the Wildcats' concentration Saturday.
"The weather might have been a little bit of a factor on Saturday because today our concentration was a little bit better," Phillips said. "I think a lot of it had to with not thinking about the cold and all of that stuff. I thought that we threw the ball a little bit better. We didn't catch it as well, but we did hang on to it when we did have it. The focus and concentration was a little bit better."
Defensively, Phillips said it is still hard to determine the improvements that have been made because the team is still installing new things and learning. The head coach did say that he is hoping the team will start to play faster.
"We are still installing on defense and those guys are still learning over there," Phillips said. "They are not playing as fast as we want them to play, but they will get that in time."
One improvement that has been made on the defensive side that Phillips is pleased with is the change of playing senior safety Winston Guy closer to the line of scrimmage and junior Martavius Neloms from cornerback to safety.
"Definitely," Phillips said about the move of Guy to linebacker and Neloms to safety and it if benefited both players. "Winston was a guy that in high school was blitzing off the edge and played in the gaps a lot, while Neloms is athletic enough to play over the top. Neloms has a little bit better instinct in breaking on the ball and being a middle-of-the-field or half-field safety. And Winston has a better feel than Neloms being in the box. Last year, it was opposite. We are just flip-flopping those guys and it will help us as a football team."
Before and after practice, players and coaches were talking about the Kentucky men's basketball team's victory that punched the Wildcats' ticket to the Final Four. Phillips wished the Wildcats the best of luck.
"I was posted up watching the game back home," Phillips said when asked what he did for the Kentucky-North Carolina basketball game Sunday. "Anytime that we get to see our university compete on a national level we are going to take time to do that."
Spring practice continues Wednesday morning when the Wildcats host the fifth of seven open practices this spring. The first seven practices are open to the media and the general public. Kentucky is set to take the field around 9 a.m. ET time at the Nutter Training Facility, however practice may be moved indoors to the Nutter Field House if bad weather moves into the Lexington area.

"Sourav and I are great friends. We are a odd couple sometimes. He is the captain and my job is to make him a better captain and hopefully that is what we have worked towards," Wright said in an interview in the latest issue of the magazine The Week.
"There are times when I have probably given him tactical advice and he has done the opposite and it has worked. So, at the end of the day I always felt that the captain is the man in charge," said Wright who relinquished the job as coach after the recent Indo-Pak series.
Wright says he will return home a satisfied man after giving his best for a side which is "the most wonderful team in world cricket to watch."

There's a lot you can do to reduce your electricity bill by potentially hundreds of dollars a year.
Some steps you can take include:
- sealing up all the leaks around doors, windows, chimneys, etc.
- cutting off vampire appliances
- leasing or purchasing solar panels
- installing a programmable thermostat
- installing LED light bulbs, and
- installing ceiling fans and attic fans
- replacing your old appliances with Energy-Saver appliances
- installing a tankless, instant water heater
- signing up with a green energy provider
In fact, there are hundreds of ways to save energy and money, but wading through it all can be a big hassle. Where do you start?
We would all love to have clean, green energy powering our homes. But how can we do it in a way that doesn't break the bank? Do we have to make lifestyle sacrifices in the bargain?
This confusion can keep us from taking action.
Like me, I'm guessing you're pretty busy. At my house, the time it takes to do the research on green energy providers, solar panels, energy saving appliances, etc. and follow through on all of it, pretty much means it's not getting done. And that means money thrown out the window.
But what if there was someone out there who could help you sort through it all?
Someone who could look at your utility bill and learn more about how you use electricity in your home and make the best energy saving recommendations for YOU?
Someone who could walk you, step by step, through the daunting process of signing up for clean energy, or getting financing or leases for solar panels, or choosing the right lightbulbs and appliances?
Fortunately, there is, and I am so excited about it!
Domino is a free concierge service that helps homeowners reduce their carbon footprint and save money.
Your Domino concierge will assess your energy needs and create a custom action plan for you, covering light bulbs to solar panels and everything in between. Whether you rent or own your home, Domino will help you create a plan perfect for your needs. Your results may vary, but Domino customers save an average of $100,000 over the course of their energy plan!
Domino concierges aren't salespeople, so you can choose which actions you want to take, and your concierge will help you get them done.
And did I mention the service is FREE? Oh yeah!
When I had my free energy saving consultation, Laura, my concierge, asked me a bunch of questions, like about whether I rented or owned my home; what my average energy bill was; whether I had gas appliances; what type of heating and cooling I have; what type of light bulbs I use, etc.
Now, I already do a lot of green things at home to save energy and money, but at the end of the call, Laura offered me three incredibly valuable things that even this veteran treehugger was enormously grateful for:
1. She researched and found several solar panel incentives and subsidies available in my city so I could make a pitch to my landlord, who is open to solar, but only if it doesn't cost him a fortune. This saved me HOURS of research, and checked something off my to-do list that had been there for
over a year, *ahem*, a long time. 🙂
Honestly, who knows when I would have gotten that research done, but she did it for me in just an hour, just like that! And she also sent me links to energy saving programs offered by my current electric company and to local green energy providers, just in case my landlord says no.
This means I have the info I need to get off fossil fuels, no matter what.
2. She convinced me that if I could install a ceiling fan (I can), I could easily swap out my ancient, broken thermostat for a new programmable one that would give me much better control over my wall furnace than ON or OFF.
I knew the value in having a programmable thermostat, but I was totally afraid to install one myself. Now I'm not. This will probably save me at least $300 this winter, and make my house much more comfortable.
3. And, finally she sent me information about something called "hypermiling"—a series of driving techniques I had never heard of that could save me at least $40 in gas a month.
The energy plan she created for me is laid out in my personal Dashboard on the Domino website, where I not only won't lose it, but I can also get any additional assistance I might need.
The whole conversation took about 20 minutes, and it was fun, free, and there wasn't even a nanosecond of sales-pitch or pressure to do anything.
My personalized plan arrived in my email about an hour later, and now I am both excited to save even more money each month, AND have all the info I need to convince my landlord how much more valuable this home would be with solar panels on it!
Frankly, I think Domino is amazing! Their mission is to help people like you and me get off of fossil fuels as much as possible, and help us save a ton of money while doing it. Not many companies have such a socially beneficial mission!
So sign up to have a conversation with a concierge at Domino today, and get your own free energy saving plan! I know you'll be as grateful as I am that you did!
You really don't want to miss this.
I'm saving a lot of money, saving the planet. Feels good! You can too!
Won't you join me?

I just finished an inspiring book -- WONDER by R. J. Palacio -- a middle grade novel about a young boy, Auggie Pullman, with a rare genetic facial deformity and his first year in middle school -- and spoiler alert -- it all turns out okay. There are cool inspirational quotes along the way such as "You're gonna reach the sky..Fly... Beautiful child," from the Eurythmics "Beautiful Child." Different characters struggle with his deformity -- his own, his sister's, his best friend's -- and except for a handful of stock bullying bad kids -- they all turn out to be good, kind kids and see past what is obvious -- and to the inner self of Auggie. I envied his parents -- hard-working, caring, decent people -- a mother who said all the right things. At the end, his class gives him a standing ovation at the graduation ceremonies. Auggie soars. I loved this novel. I cried. I cheered. It's a novel to read with your kids. But I could never write it -- never, ever.
I think to write a happy novel -- one with characters that are essentially good people with decent values--one had to live a life filled with people who are essentially good. For the most part, I didn't have those kind of people in my life growing up except for my Pop. He was a good father, a good man, too often overwhelmed with being a single parent. His words of wisdom were blunt: the way you make your bed is the way you'll sleep in it. I love him still for trying.
I don't know if R. J. Palacio had a happy life or not -- but I know that mine was broken. One way I've put it back it back together is writing. Even so, the pieces are never as happy as WONDER. But I'm thankful there are writers like her that can write 'happy' -- a wonder to me. Caroline

USING AUGUSTINE AS A CONVERSATION partner, this important new book explores the value of Michel Foucault's controversial writings for theologians, ethicists, philosophers, and cultural theorists. J. Joyce Schuld demonstrates the promising possibilities as well as the difficulties and limits of applying Foucault's social criticisms within Christian contexts. She maintains that the best way to make Foucault's postmodern concerns and his unsettling descriptions, metaphors, and methods accessible to Christian readers is to examine his thought through a premodern lens. By bringing Foucault and Augustine into constructive dialogue, Schuld reveals the surprising analytical usefulness of Augustine's writings for postmodern and poststructuralist studies. She pursues from a new and critically illuminating perspective the personal, cultural, and historical ramifications of Augustine's formative understanding of love and the complicated effects of original sin on all inter- and intrapersonal relations. Schuld argues that Foucault's dynamic and relational description of power helps us reconceptualize an ancient doctrine that has lost currency in the modern era and challenges us to rethink the vulnerabilities to which human loves endlessly expose us as individuals and engaged members of sociohistorical communities. This approach facilitates further theological examination of the intertwining personal and political implications of pride, the morally ambiguous aspirations for progress and perfecting knowledge, and the paradoxical power of the incarnation, the cross, and eschatological hope. Schuld's is the first sustained analysis of the rich theological possibilities of employing Foucault's mostinfluential concepts and methods, historical research, and contemporary cultural criticisms. Foucault and Augustine: Reconsidering Power and Love will appeal to those who already use Foucault constructively and to those who have either never read him or who are familiar with his writings but have never considered them valuable for Christians.
