He certainly is going strong. "Although coming up on his 78th birthday, [Sen. John] McCain's faculties haven't dimmed a bit, witness his continuing status as the Sunday talk shows' favorite guest. Nor has his energy flagged. He continues to maintain a schedule that would bury mere mortals. Most importantly, McCain has never been more influential or consequential than he is today. And that's particularly true on foreign policy, what McCain cares about most."
Have a kid going off to college? A must-read: "In the pursuit of what they perceive to be racial justice, [economist and political scientist Tim] Groseclose argues, university administrators and professors cultivate duplicity and thwart the free exchange of ideas. He focuses on UCLA's concerted effort beginning in 2006, in defiance of California state law, to significantly increase the number of black undergraduates by taking race into account in admissions decisions while assiduously denying that it was doing so. As Groseclose notes, there is no good reason to suppose that this tale of institutional duplicity is restricted to UCLA."
Going from bad to worse for the new guy. "Josh Earnest once again faced some tough questioning from reporters on his second day as White House press secretary Tuesday, this time about missing emails tied to the IRS targeting scandal. CNN's Jim Acosta confronted Earnest about the lack of evidence, which to him sounded like 'the dog ate my homework' excuse. 'On the face of it, it doesn't sound credible,' Acosta said."
Going to court for poor kids. "Campbell Brown is working with six parents to challenge New York teacher tenure laws, in a lawsuit that will be similar to the landmark lawsuit recently won by students in California. The six parents will testify that New York laws preventing schools from firing teachers have harmed their families.
It's going downhill when your own party bashes your key witness. "Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said Tuesday that IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has done 'a terrible job communicating' in the investigation into former IRS official Lois Lerner's missing emails. 'Obviously, I think he is doing a terrible job communicating, and obviously, they made huge mistakes as far as how they've retained records and whether or not they've been upfront and whether or not those records were available. . . .This guy did a terrible job being arrogant yesterday. We all think of the IRS as being arrogant, and he kind of confirmed that,' she added about his performance at a hearing Monday evening before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee."
Going back to similar themes George McGovern sounded, President Obama is calling for the U.S. to retreat and for the military to be shrunk. "Doing less in the world, turning instead to 'nation-building at home,' is and always will be tempting. Problems developing far away seem far away. Then comes Pearl Harbor or 9/11. But we do not need attacks on America to understand that the world is not a better place with less American power and less American leadership. In southeast Asia the boat people showed us that as soon as our war in Vietnam ended. In the Middle East we are seeing again how things can fall apart, and how dangerous that chaos can quickly become. 'War rarely conforms to slogans' is a nice slogan, as is 'nation-building right here at home.' But there is only one possible leader for the people and the nations that seek peace and freedom, and we are it. When we step back, others step forward. The president said at West Point that 'by most measures, America has rarely been stronger relative to the rest of the world.' That is not what people in fear of Iranian hegemony or jihadi violence or Chinese expansionism or Russian irredentism feel today. It is striking to see a president, who prides himself on having spent many years abroad and on understanding the world, incapable now of seeing the world as others -– friend and enemy –- see it." Read the whole thing.
Going step-by-step, John Steele Gordon explains simple economics to the left, or at least to one New York Times reporter complaining that Wal-Mart should pay its employees more. "So if Walmart can hire a satisfactory employee at a given wage, why should it insist on paying more? For one thing, it would violate its fiduciary duty to the stockholders. For another, it would have to raise the prices its hundreds of millions of customers pay." Who knew math was required?

booked the tickets for 10 days in June, Marseille to Bordeaux with rented car. Its not a small distance, but we are stuck with the mountains/countryside. How much time should we dedicate to the Gorges du Tarn area, and Perigord (Noir) -Sarlat? Our itinerary will be more or less Marseille -Aix -Arles -Montpellier -Toulouse - Albi - Sarlat -.Bordeaux. What do you think? Which part is skippable, to make the rest more comfortable? Between Albi and Sarlat which one is better to stay and more interensting? Between Toulouse and Montpellier?
Thank you so much
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what a bike ride from Albi to Cordes Sur Ciel might be like. Google maps puts it at about 20km, which would be ok for a day-trip starting in the morning, but I wonder what the terrain is like?
Alternatively, what would be the least expensive way to visit Cordes Sur Ciel for the day?
Dear fellow virtual tourists:
Can anyone recommend a shortest route to Albi from San Franicsco?
Should I fly into Toulouse?
Does Toulouse's airport close to the train station?
Do I need to reserve train tickets to Albi from Toulouse?
Is the train the type you have to ride on the destinated time?
Please advise on the method to arrive Albi.
Thanks much in advance.
I don't drive and I will be
in Argeles sur mer. What is
the best way to go to Albi
from there>? Thank you. M1

I don't think I'm some awesome prodigy. Yet, as I seek to learn more about Eve I figure out how little I know about Eve. It creates a strange image of the deep, foggy trench that is my ignorance mixed with my desire to learn. I don't expect to learn the entire game but I'd like to get comfortable with it.
During one of our random, early morning chats, my CEO told me I need more bittervet. I was pleased by the compliment, but reminded him that I'm two months in and everything is covered in a sparkly layer of new glitter for me. I was told that I needed more Bittervet again. *chuckle*
Ever since my drop in sector status a few days ago, I've been treated a little bit differently by some. I was asked:
"Who did you pod?"
"I didn't pod anyone."
"You are down to a -2"
"I didn't pod anyone."
"Uh Huh"
"My corp boards are public."
So the corp board was looked up and the fact that I did not attack a pod was confirmed.
Being a pirate has some unexpected hard parts to it. Not unbearable parts, but unexpected hostility. I shrug it off. My killboard is public after all and anyone can see that my fights are all in low sec. Right now they are all in fleets as well. I'm learning and I'm happy to learn.
Which caused me to get into a mild, verbal altercation last evening with someone in a social channel. I was tired of him going on and on and on about faction warfare and what a PvPer he was. His killboard was pretty even for wins and losses. According to him, that's how you play. Another character has been playing for years and is starting to dabble his toes into PvP. He is reading and researching what it is, tactics, strategies, ships, fits, and all that good stuff. According to Mr. Man the only way to learn how to PvP effectively is to get into a frigate and die over and over again until you figure out what you are doing. You only learn through failure.
I snapped a little bit. I'm not going to say that I know shit about how to be some kinda PvP god. I do know that people, especially adult people (and Eve's player base is mostly adults) learn in many different ways. One way is to use the experience that they have with information gained to create knowledge and understanding. Then they learn to use and mold that correctly. I had a real life job where my trainer felt that the only way I'd truly learn was to fail and have that failure pointed out to me. He said I would never learn if he told me the correct answer. I would only learn through failure.
I don't agree with this learning philosophy. I will say that I am sure that it works for some people. However, it is not the 'only' way to learn. So I shat all over it because it pissed me off. Mostly because of IRL experience, and my butthurt over someone else criticizing me because I like to know what I am doing and the concepts behind it before I just run off and hope.
So he said I was adverse to losing ships without a reason.
I'm not sure how that is an insult. I absolutely am. It is not that I am risk adverse, I am stupidity adverse. If I don't know what I am doing, and I stick a bunch of mods onto a ship, and go and fly that ship with those random ass mods, and die, what have I learned? Some might figure its their fit, some might think technique, others their opponent. Some might not understand the aggression mechanics of the game itself. There are dozens of reasons and for you to have to fit and lose a ship to, hopefully, figure out each of those reasons is ridiculous to me. Why can't someone explain aggression mechanics, fits and what they are and their values. You will probably still go and get blown up. However, you might have an idea of what you did that caused it, instead of guessing about that as well.
Learning by guessing is not an effective way to learn. Having prior knowledge won't give you the skills. Yet, having an idea to work with and something to improve on is vastly superior, for me, then starting with nothing and splashing it with a lot of hope.

Dr Henry Ben Bolt DC
Author, Lecturer and Chiropractor
In 2001 at the early stages of researching my family heritage I would visit a great aunt to talk about our family history. From numerous shoe boxes my aunt would produce postcards, newspaper cuttings and photographs from times well before I was born.
On one such occasion I was shown a small frail booklet entitled "Heirs of To-morrow" by Dr H. Ben Bolt DC.
Who was Ben Bolt? and what was his connection with our Bolt family?, it took almost eight years to find out; below is an extract from this little frail book that got me hooked.
H. Ben Bolt was in fact christened Henry Thomas Thornton Bolt he was born at Tynemouth, Northumberland, England on 10 July 1873, but he changed his name when he became a United States citizen in 1913, hence the confusion.
H. Ben Bolt was born in North Shields. His father, Capt. A B. Bolt, was a Shetlander, his mother a Thornton of Felton, Northumberland. In 1895 he was invalided out of the 17th Lancers, the result of his horse falling upon him, and he was discharged as incurable. The inefficiency and incapacity witnessed in six military hospitals at that time created an urge to find something more reliable than Materia Medica. Moving to Newcastle on Tyne, an active interest was taken in sociological, municipal and parliamentary affairs, but an attempt to enter the City Council in 1906 was unsuccessful.
In 1907 he emigrated to Alberta, Canada and it was there the science of Chiropractic came to his attention. Sceptical of its premises, it was not until after careful enquiry that he matriculated in 1912. Graduating August 31st, 1914, he urged the value of Chiropractic, especially in cases of nervous breakdown and shell shock upon the home Government, but without avail. Post-graduate work in dissection and diseases of women was taken in Chicago in 1915. The following year his efforts on behalf of Chiropractic was recognised by the Ohio State Chiropractic Association, who elected him a trustee. In 1917 he was licensed by the Ohio State Medical Board, and in the same year was awarded two silver loving cups at the Chiropractic Lyceum held in Davenport, Iowa. Further post-graduate work was taken at the Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1918, extending from August to December.
Moving to Los Angeles in 1919 he was elected a director of South California Chiropractors in 1920. In 1921, owing to the illness of his father, he returned to his native land and began practicing in Edinburgh. Here he has established a large practice and the lectures he gives on Chiropractic Philosophy are invariably well attended and judging from the numerous questions, the subject is finding general sympathy and a growing popularity."

In today's world there are a big variety of sewing machines. I have personally worked on a Singer, Frick, Bernina and Nina home sewing machines. In the clothing industries you also have a big variety of sewing machines, while i was studying i used a Brother industrial sewing machine. There are some differences in home sewing machines and industrial ones. It all depends on what you prefer, i like the home sewing machines as they are smaller and some machines have more functions than the industrial machines.
It quite important to understand your sewing machine and know the correct settings. The tension of your thread and the type of fabric being used should be correct otherwise you can run into some problems. Normally you get a booklet with your sewing machine or some shops offer classes. When i bought my sewing machine the shop gave 5 free lessons to help me understand and know my sew machine. I learned quite a lot and it was very nice.
So lets start with covering some very basic stitches on most sewing machines.
Straight stitch:
All sewing machines will have a straight sticth as this is your base sewing stitch. You can change the length of your stitch so it depends if you just want to sew or maybe use the stitch for top stitching.
Zig Zag Stitch:
Also one of the stitches that most machine will have. The older sewing machine you would use the zig zag or the three step zig zag stitch to finish raw edges and that your fabric wouldn't fray.
Blind hem Stitch:
The blind hem stitch or the stretch blind hem stitch are an invisible stitch used for hemming. This stitch also allows stretch when working with a stretch fabric like knits.
Most of the overlock stitches of today will stitch and finish off raw edges at the same time. It's really quick and very neatly done when using this stitch.
Decorative stitch:
There are 2 basic decorative stitches, one is the satin stitch or the tracery stitch. A lot of the newer sewing machines have a various of decorative stitches and some can even be programmed with design and stitches.
These are just some of the basic sewing machine stitches that's used. There are a lot more and it also depends on what sewing machine you are using. The newer sewing machine will offer more than the older ones.

My avid readers know that one of my major aims with this blog is to promote young talents in entertainment and fashion. I haven't lost that passion. I'm so excited to introduce to you guys, Javasy Yard Records' very own PAULETTE. This young lady's music really is like a breath of fresh air. Her song is so different from what were used to. Her sound sort of reminds me of Temi Dollface's.
In an industry filled with various individuals working hard to be successful, standing out from the crowd can be difficult for many. However, as a talented dancer and singer with a captivating voice, Paulette Iwenjiora confidently sets herself apart.
Paulette Iwenjiora was born to a Jamaican mom and Nigerian dad, and was raised and born in Tallahasse, Florida till the age of 12. She then moved to Abuja, Nigeria where she resides till date.
Regarding dance, Paulette truly discovered her passion for the art at the age of 11. She use to spend hours watching dance movies and learning the dance moves. She also joined various dance groups and performed at various shows.
The song "Dance Floor" is her first official single and is a blend of electro-house and afro-beat like you have never heard before. In this fun and youthful single, Paulette clearly expresses her love for both music and dance.
The song was produced, mixed and mastered by DJ Java who recently moved to Nigeria after a successful career in North-Cyprus and can be spotted on social media with the hashtag #PapitoIsHere.
Paulette is a true definition of raw talent and on this tune, she shows her music diversity skills. She's definitely an artiste to watch out for in 2015.
I can't wait for you to enjoy her song!

"Tina Fey's new book Bossypants is short, messy, and impossibly funny (an apt description of the comedian herself). From her humble roots growing up in Pennsylvania to her days doing amateur improv in Chicago to her early sketches on Saturday Night Live, Fey gives us a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy with equal doses of wit, candor, and self-deprecation. Some of the funniest chapters feature the differences between male and female comedy writers ("men urinate in cups"), her cruise ship honeymoon ("it's very Poseidon Adventure"), and advice about breastfeeding ("I had an obligation to my child to pretend to try"). But the chaos of Fey's life is best detailed when she's dividing her efforts equally between rehearsing her Sarah Palin impression, trying to get Oprah to appear on 30 Rock, and planning her daughter's Peter Pan-themed birthday. Bossypants gets to the heart of why Tina Fey remains universally adored: she embodies the hectic, too-many-things-to-juggle lifestyle we all have, but instead of complaining about it, she can just laugh it off. " --Kevin Nguyen
First Pages:
Discussion Questions:
1) What do you think it means to be a Bossypants? Do you know anyone personally that you would describe as a Bossypants and did the society you live in ever try to drown her?
2. The lessons Tina has learned from her work as a writer, a boss, a performer, and producer are lessons that can be carried across a wide array of disciplines. Which moments resonate the most for you?
3) While working at the YMCA in Chicago, Tina experienced some personal low points. But it also propelled her into pursuing her improv career. Have you ever experienced a similarly transformative period? During your transformation, did you ever spin around and pretend to be Wonder Woman?
4) Are there specifics you would add to "The Mother's Prayer For Her Daughter?"
5) Tina writes a love letter to Amy Poehler. Do you have friends that inspire you the same way that Amy inspires Tina?
6) What is your motivation for reading Bossypants? Did Tina provide some answers? Which quotes and ideas did you love in the book?
7) Fey spends several chapters of the book discussion motherhood? Were there any parts of her perspective that surprised you? Were there any parts that you disagreed with?
8) Fey spends a lot of time focusing on being a woman in the book; from being a working mom, to self-image, to working in a male dominated industry. What parts of Fey's perspective on being a woman did you find most interesting? Were there parts that you could or couldn't relate to?
9) After reading the book did you feel like the title Bossypants is appropriate? Why or why not? Why do you think Fey chose that title? Did you find that the harry arms on the cover got any less disturbing after you read the book?

Hey fans of Blu-ray giveaways. You want some free Blu-rays? And do you also happen to be a fan of TV's "The Walking Dead"? Then dang, this is your lucky day. We just happen to have two copies of AMC's zombie hit "The Walking Dead" Season 4 on Blu-ray to give away to two lucky winners.
Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, AMC's "The Walking Dead" enjoyed its most popular season to date, averaging 13.3 million live/same day viewers per episode and 8.6 million adults 18-49. Whether evading walkers, resisting a super flu outbreak, escaping the fall of their temporary prison haven and desperately searching for a sanctuary called Terminus, the on-going story of a group of survivors under the protective watch and leadership of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Dr. Herschel Greene (Scott Wilson) continues to capture viewers' imaginations on a global scale.
THE WALKING DEAD: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON cast also includes Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Chandler Riggs, David Morrissey, Melissa McBride, Chad L. Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green and Emily Kinney. New characters introduced this season include Sgt. Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gillard, Jr.), Rosita Espinoza (Christian Serratos) and Dr. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermott).
As always, it's a cinch to win a copy of the Blu-ray. (You want one, I want to give you one, why make it harder than that, amirite?)
To enter our giveaway, all you have to do is send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject header "The Walking Dead Season 4 Blu-ray Giveaway," including your snail mail address in the body of the email. That's about it! A week from now on August 25th, we'll draw two lucky winners completely at random (a hat may or may not be involved) and ship their Blu-rays off to them. Easy as pie, no?
Good luck, everyone!
If you didn't win, you can always buy the Blu-ray when it hits stores this August 26th. Or, being that this is 2014, you could probably just order it from Amazon and never have to leave your house or put on pants. It's win-win.

Farewell Sophia Petrillo
By Siran Babayan
A wise person once said, "Life is like a piece of shredded wheat." No, it wasn't Gandhi. It was Sophia Petrillo, aka Estelle Getty.
Sophia came to this country a poor Sicilian immigrant with nothing but a pizza recipe and a dream (she was robbed by Mama Celeste). Her son was a cross-dresser, and her daughter , Dorothy, got knocked up in high school and married a dumb bachagaloop who wore a toupee.
After escaping from a lovely nursing home called Shady Pines, Sophia spent the remainder of her life living in Miami with her daughter and two other women: dimwitted but lovable Minnesotan Rose, and bed-hopping but lovable tramp Blanche.

They laughed and ate cheesecake. They talked about their first times and ate cheesecake. They helped the police nab a couple of jewel thieves and ate cheesecake.
Sophia dined with the likes of Burt Reynolds; sang with Julio Iglesias; and claimed to have had an affair with Picasso. Her hobbies included stealing money from her daughter's purse and going to the beach so she could watch old men rearrange themselves when they get out of the water. She's probably still doing that somewhere in Miami.
Getty may have gone to that retirement community in the sky, but Sophia and her straw purse will forever live in television. The Golden Girls not only changed how we look at dessert, but taught us how to laugh with the elderly, and whether you're gay, straight or just short and perpetually cranky like her, Sophia spoke to the Italian yenta in all of us.
We should all aspire to be half the person Sophia was (half is fine; she was just under five feet). And may we all be a burden on our children in our old age.

via What Poverty Does to Your Brain – attn:.
There is so much about the human brain that we still don't know. Shortly after I left my ex-husband, I came across a medical article discussing the fact that mental and emotional abuse actually causes chemical brain damage – specifically in women it limits the production of cortisol (while in men it overproduces it), weakens the immune system, and can damage or even kill neurons in the hippocampus leading to memory and other cognitive issues.
Now, the medical community is noting that poverty limits the actual growth of brain tissue.
This isn't a rant about financial inequities, or calling for a "Robin Hood tax." It's not a liberal rant that those with more money should short-change their children to be more "fair" to those living in poverty.
It is simply a note about the realities of what is going on in the brain in different socio-economic situations.The reality is that NOTHING is ever as simple as it looks from outside the situation.
You can't "put yourself in their shoes" because you don't have the same brain. I'm not saying that you can't conceive of the issues, but unless you've lived it you don't have the same physiological experience.
So, yes, changing the way we look at assistance to those living under the poverty line is a necessity. Funding scholarships or other ways of ensuring that toddlers of the poor get the same kind of brain stimulating interactions that their richer peers do. Finding ways to lower the "fight or flight" stress that children in poorer neighborhoods experience (causing the exact same chemical damage as emotional and mental abuse does). Finding ways to actually allow cooperative raising of children (i.e. allowing a group of parents – single or married – to purchase a larger home together, so that there is ALWAYS an adult available for parenting and developmental interactions), which has been attacked in some cities in the country.
The answer is NOT lowering the expectations of the rich. It's raising the options for the poor.

Mavericks Owner Cuban Is Driving Hard to the Net
Imagine Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf driving to the hoop against Dickey Simpkins. Can't do it? Think any National Basketball Association owner can compete against an employee on the hardwood?
Mark Cuban did. The 41-year-old owner of the Dallas Mavericks nearly beat 7-foot rookie Dirk Nowitzki before the Mavericks faced Vancouver at Reunion Arena last month.
Granted, no elbows were thrown, no fouls committed -- the format...

WASHINGTON, May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Community leaders are ramping up to to tackle poverty in rural America, targeting essential strategies to spur growth and attract new residents looking for good schools, safe streets and affordable homes.
Many of America's top rural leaders will be in Washington, D.C., May 24-26 at the 2016 Rural LISC Annual Seminar to discuss how best to scale up economic development programs to help long-struggling towns and their residents. Key 2016 campaign issues – like jobs, health care and good housing – will be at the forefront of the gathering, organized by Rural LISC, a national community development program of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). The conference will be held at the Holiday Inn Capitol, and the event is open to the press.
Many initiatives on the agenda are a counterpoint to the prevailing narrative that rural America is in unchecked decline, noted Suzanne Anarde, program vice president of Rural LISC, which has invested more than $1.06 billion to revitalize America's small towns.
"Some people think of 'rural' in terms of homespun nostalgia while others see only battered local economies," she said. "Neither is the whole story. Increasingly, Americans say they want to come back to the small towns where they grew up. That's an opportunity to rebuild the tax base and local buying power—but we need to help communities strengthen their economic infrastructure to take advantage of it."
Rural LISC works through a network of 75 nonprofit organizations in 42 states and 1,400 counties to support local community development programs in small towns and rural areas across the country.
The national Seminar will feature Lisa Mensah, under secretary for rural development for the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Other highlights include:
- Fueling rural business growth – Small business is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy and particularly critical in rural areas. Panelists from GROW South Dakota; Northern Initiatives of Marquette, Mich.; Hope Enterprise Corporation of Jackson, Miss.; and Communities Unlimited of Fayetteville, Ark., will explore opportunities for entrepreneurs and start-ups to access counseling, education and capital.
- Leveraging arts and culture – Experts from the South Carolina Arts Commission; National Endowment for the Arts; Tucker County Development Authority (Thomas, W. Va).; Dance Place, (Washington, D.C.); and ArtPlace America (Brooklyn, N.Y.) will offer ways to utilize arts and cultural programs to fuel the civic, economic and cultural life of rural communities.
- Building a public health approach to rural poverty – The data on rural health—from smoking, obesity and teen pregnancy to premature deaths—is deeply troubling. But some traditional community development strategies are proving to be powerful remedies. Dr. Megan Sandel, Boston University School of Medicine, will join Julie Willems Van Dijk from County Health Rankings Program, University of Wisconsin, and Tracy Menuez, from Human Resource Development Council in Bozeman, Mont., to outline strategies that work to help rural residents live longer and healthier.
Attendees will also be making their case to lawmakers in a series of Capitol Hill visits. To learn more about the event, visit www.lisc.org/rural. Get updates and follow key developments on Twitter @LISCRural and #EnvisionRural.

Yesterday was A Day In The Life Of… day. I decided to participate.
My top albums of 2009
Obviously this is a pointless task, but someone asked us at Off The Beaten Tracks to write a top ten, so i did. Except I couldn't get it down to less than 11, so here they are, in no particular order:
- The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
- St Vincent – Actor
- Fanfarlo – Reservoir
- The Antlers – Hospice
- The Xcerts – In The Cold Wind We Smile
- Discovery – Discovery
- Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion
- Japandroids – Post-Nothing
- The xx – xx
- French Miami – French Miami
- Casiotone For the Painfully Alone – vs. Children
I'm sure I've overlooked at least one important one. Just for fun, what are yours?

I originally started writing this at 1:00 a.m. on December 25, 2008, Christmas day, just minutes after I came back from the 10:00 Christmas Eve Service at St. Lukes-on-the-Lake in Austin, which is my "main Church" for about 7 years now—at least when I'm in Texas. It's an Episcopal Church and I wonder sometime why I still go. Obviously, I love to see Father Mike Wyckoff & Father James P. Jameson who supported and helped me through many bad times over the past six or seven years.
I particularly enjoy wearing my new Harvard jacket and showing Father Jameson (himself a Harvard graduate), who saw me at some of the all time low points of my life, that I really did make it back to "the old school" over the summer, and I really did take my son Charlie to summer school there, accompanied him to Widener & Lamont Libraries—and even sat in on some classes in Irish Mythology & Literature with him. Those things all make me feel good, but sometimes I feel it's hypocritical for me to go because I'm so completely disappointed with the Episcopal Church and feel it's let me (and the world) down in every possible way. Every value that made me loyal to the Church of my birth (practically) has gone by the wayside, and the Church itself is disintegrating so fast it makes your head spin—and what does it mean to be a member of the "Anglican" Communion (based on the "Anglos" = the English, this is the quintessetial Church of England), if the Archbiship of Lagos, Nigeria is in some ways more important than the Archbiship of Canterbury—simply because the Lagos Archdiocese is alive and growing while Church attendance shrinks a little each year in England.
Even the Queen, one of whose many titles is "Fidei Defensor" ("Defender of the Faith") cannot make any comments about the largest Mosque in the World, the London Markaz currently being built in Newham on the Eastside of London, nor can she dismiss the Archbishop of Canterbury for endorsing the application of Sharia Law at least as a viable alternative in English Courts. So what's the point in being an Episcopalian?
Well, for one thing, I grew up an Church of England/Episcopalian and was confirmed at All Saints in Beverly Hills, California, when I was 14, by the Bishop Robert C. Rusack. The Church was a huge part of my life, whether I was in Dallas or Los Angeles or New Orleans or Cambridge, MA. I was a choirboy and briefly an acolyte. I studied the Book of Acts as my special confirmation project with Canon Noble L. Owings at St. Thomas in Hollywood.
Of course, that was way back in ancient history—some guy named Richard Nixon was President, there was a war in Vietnam, and and another fellow named Ronald Reagan was Governor.
Back then the Church was still using a little black prayerbook "approved" in 1928 or thereabouts, although the language was basically the same as the King James Bible. My very earliest Church attendance and "baby Sunday School" was in England where they were until recently using the same prayerbook adopted in 1668, during the reign of a dissolute king whose namesake I am….and my father and his father were also….And like those old Stuart Kings, my father believed strongly in the "Papist" and "Royalist" side of the English Church tradition….(I grew up with a picture of "Bonnie Prince Charlie", last effective Stuart pretender, in my bedroom). Despite all their interest in the Church, my parents ended up divorced at the early stage of the upsurge in divorces nationwide.
By contrast my grandmother, who had been an Episcopal Church organist in Shreveport, Louisiana before she married, was from a tradition of Morning and Evening prayer services where Eucharist was rare and Charles Wesley was more often mentioned than "Charles the Martyr" (aka Charles II).
But any way you cut it, I loved the tradition of the Church—the tradition of those old prayerbooks is almost 100% gone. I loved the elegance of the Church, but what fragments of elegance can remain in a Church which spends 99% of its time debating whether gay people should be allowed (1) into the Church, (2) into the Clergy, (3) ordained as Bishops, (4) married, (5) married to Bishops and Clergy?
I know as well as anyone that there have been gay Christians around since Jesus' own time, and this is doubly or triply true when you realize that the earliest Christians were mostly Greek-speakers, and God knows that the Greeks practically invented gay love (at least as known in the Western World).
Plato's discussion of sexual manners and mores which has become known as "Platonic Love" was originally written mostly in reference to male friends and how they should behave towards each other. Without her having created some of the most sublime poetry ever written in any language, the Poetess Sappho would never have created the association between female-to-female "gay" love which gave rise to the name "Lesbian" as an inhabitant of the island of Lesbos on which Sappho lived.
When the Apostle Paul talked about it being "better to marry than to burn"—he made no distinction between gay and straight love. And I think what he meant was honor and commitment are what make a good person.
People say that homosexual marriage will destroy the institution of marriage? I ask: if the VERY heterosexual celebrity artist (and I use this term "artist" or even "singer" advisedly) Britney Spears hasn't destroyed the institution of marriage almost singlehandedly—what can gay people possibly do that would be worse? Most of the crimes against the institution of marriage are committed by heterosexuals, in fact.
My wife of 17 years took off for the last time in July 2002. She had been involved since 1995 with a former close friend of mine who stole all my banking records while staying as a houseguest and allegedly comforting me after my wife had left me one of the first times.
What will gay people do to the institution of marriage that's worse than that? I'd like to know??? Why do we fear ANYONE whose sole purpose is to pursue happiness with others of like mind and taste in a quiet, unobtrusive, non-violent way? It's incomprehensible to me.
It's almost as though the Episcopal Church has driven off the "straight and narrow" path of tradition and straight into a ditch of stupid arguments from which it may never be towed out…..
But anyhow—I do still go to Church—at least on "High Holy Days" out of the memory of my parents—of my grandfather's amazingly well-preserved booming tenor voice singing the Doxology every week and Christmas Carols out of his own company's specially printed collection of Christmas Carols every Christmas. The first prayer-song I ever learned was when my mother taught me "The Magnificat" and told me about Mary and the wonders of motherhood in the creation of the world. I look back on those talks now and realise that my mother was probably a little bit "new agey" in her Maryolatry combined with feminism….but still it all fits. My grandmother used to criticise my mother for being "Churchy"—an outwardly religious person with no real convictions—and as much as I love Jesus' teachings in the Gospels I suppose I could be accused of much the same thing.
I have a Ph.D. in Anthropology, having minored in Biology & Classics in College, and I certainly "believe" in Evolution and Darwinism (both biological and socio-cultural) more than anything else (although I acknowledge them as theories—they ARE theoretical models—how could they be anything else?).
I "believe" the world is billions of years old, not six thousand—and I "believe" that the Five Books of Moses were written by at least six or seven different authors, real people none on Mount Sinai by dictation, and none of whom were ever named Moses or lived within 300 years of the time when Moses supposedly lived, and I strongly believe that Moses probably WAS a genuine Egyptian…so why do I go to Church? Why do I enjoy it?
I think it's because of what my grandmother and grandfather used to say, "it's what makes us civilized"—it takes us out of ourselves, away from our work, and into a world of ideals which, whether we believe in them or not, are interesting, very historically significant, and some of them, like Jesus' teachings, are beautiful and really hard to argue with as a good plan for a decent life.
I would have loved to have known Jesus or anyone like him, I'm sure.
If there is a single historical person on whom the Gospels are based, and I tend to think that there was, he was a truly extraordinary person, and a wonderful teacher—and it hardly matters to me whether he was the Son of God or not.
I love Him for teaching us to Love, and I hate all of his so-called "Christian" followers who teach one form of hate or another. I happen to know that I don't have the tiniest "gay" instincts in my makeup—I've had way too much contact with gay men my whole life not to know for certain that their interests and ways in the "pursuit of happiness" are not mine. I love the female body and the nearest things to truly divine and mystical experiences I have ever had were in the company and close proximity of such bodies.
But I know for a fact that, even though the concept is never discussed in the Bible, Jesus must have loved gays at least as much as he loved harlots (prostitutes) and adulterers, and probably a lot more than he loved pharisees, sadducees (seduqim), and (unfortunately for me) lawyers, other legal experts, and their ilk……
But anyhow, I was feeling kind of poorly around 8:00-9:00 and thinking that I wouldn't bother to go to Church because I hadn't been for a while and after all, "the Episcopal Church has become a national embarrassment in the United States over the Gay Rights issues and an nightmare in England for endorsing the adoption of Sharia Law in England"—so why should anyone be associated with such a Church? But then I think of St. Michael's and all Angels and the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, of All Saints in Beverly Hills and St. Thomas in Hollywood, of St. George's on St. Charles in New Orleans, Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver, Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, and my all time favorite, St. Thomas-on-Fifth Avenue in New York, and these really are the seats of some of the greatest expressions of North American civilization.

Quite aside from the phenomenon represented by Christ Church in Cambridge, MA (where George & Martha Washington prayed after Washington took command of the Continental Army on Cambridge Common by Harvard College) and the National Cathedral in Washington (where Ronald Reagan and so many more are buried), or St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia (where Patrick Henry delivered a lay sermon ending "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" from the pulpit), which are all just major historical sites. So there's some point in going to the Episcopal Church—I remember my family, long ago and oh so far away. I think of nice ideals, whether they are practical or not. And I am connected to history, to some of the best of Anglo-American culture and civilization, and I can be smug and think that I am sophisticated enough to uphold the rights of all people to the "pursuit of happiness", in the words of a fellow Episcopalian, Thomas Jefferson….whether all Episcopalians "get it" or not….Next lecture will be: why the STATE should get out of marriage, and then "Gay Marriage" won't be an issue—because it will be private, religious or personal expression protected by the First Amendment, and that's how it OUGHT to be….

Kitchens Renovations Made Easy
There is much to consider when it comes to kitchen renovations. Naturally, if you are going to spend the money then you want yours to be among the best kitchens around. The idea and even the process of a kitchen renovation can be overwhelming; however, with the right kitchen company a lot of the stress can be taken out and the task for you becomes a simple one.

Don't DIY Your Kitchen
So many people these days are into the whole DIY project idea but there are times when this should be avoided. Our highly professional team at Craftbuilt Kitchens wants you to understand that there is a time to DIY and a time not to DIY and when it comes to your kitchen, professional is always best.
Why Shouldn't You DIY Your Kitchen?
There are many different reasons why you shouldn't DIY your kitchen. The two main reasons are lack of experience and lack of warranty. Let's discuss the first. You might consider yourself very handy but when it comes to designing, measuring and installing kitchens there is no room for error.
One small mistake can be costly when it comes to the design and installation of your new kitchen. You might think it is best to DIY in order to save money but in the long run you could end up costing yourself more. The best way to avoid mistakes and more costs is to have it done professionally.
The second biggest reason not to DIY is warranty. Having your kitchen designed and installed by our professional team not only means there are no mistakes, it means that on the off chance that anything goes wrong, you are covered under warranty. Providing it is within the warranty period.
What Kind of Mistakes Will You Avoid?
While there are the obvious mistakes you will avoid when you go professional, there are also some more subtle ideas and changes that you might overlook, too. Here is a list of common renovation mistakes you can avoid by enlisting us to do the job for you.
Cool Kitchen Ideas
Our professional designers will draw your attention to finer details that will make the use of your kitchen so much easier. Drawer dividers, lazy Susans and extra cupboard storage ideas are easily forgotten if you do the design yourself.
Important Design Layout
The layout of your kitchen design is vitally important to functionality. Our kitchen designers know all about the kitchen work triangle and how to ensure this is implemented the best possible way into the space you have available in your new kitchen.
Efficient Planning and Budgeting
When you DIY your kitchen you leave yourself open to making planning mistakes, budgeting mistakes and more. With a professional team overseeing the job we will make sure each task is completed in a timely manner.
With our team on your side we can make sure you stick to your budget and end up with the perfect kitchen, just for you. Contact us at Craftbuilt Kitchens today to discuss your new kitchen and don't waste your time or money with DIY.
Tips For Getting Your New Kitchen Renovations Right
At Craftbuilt Kitchens we want each and every one of our clients to walk away feeling as though they received the best service and of course the best end product possible. It is our duty to ensure that the kitchen you have in the end is what you envisioned or more than you could have hoped for.
With this in mind, we have nothing but the best team of showroom staff, designers and installers on hand to take you on a kitchen renovation journey that is informative, fun, efficient and suited to your needs and budget.
We also always offer fantastic advice on making the decisions for your new kitchen based on current trends, your budget and of course the space we have to work with. Here are some simple tips and ideas that you might like to consider when planning your kitchen.
Little Extras
When you get a new kitchen installed it's a thrilling feeling to be working in such a wonderful preparation space. To add to this feeling why not consider a few things to add to the luxury.
Appliances such as a new toaster or blender that may stay permanently on the bench top will fit in so much better if they are new. Also updating your lighting to something more modern will give much more lift to the new kitchen effect.
Make The Most of Your Layout
While style is very important, function is the key in a new kitchen. When planning your kitchen your designer will discuss the importance of having plenty of food preparation space, the kitchen work triangle and simply having a functional flow.
Things like being able to easily wash vegetables in the sink, to discard scraps in the bin and place dirty dishes to be washed in close proximity to food preparation are all things that make a functional kitchen.
Always do your research on getting quality appliances. Be willing to pay for extra warranty if you are able and, of course, if you need to buy more than one then getting each in the same brand will mean your kitchen looks more stylish with its matching set.
Consider Your Bench Top
There are plenty of options for a great bench top that looks good and will last. Island bench tops prove to be very serviceable in kitchens provided you have the space.
Our team at Craftbuilt Kitchens** **are ready to help you plan your ideal kitchen so give us a call today or come down to our showroom.
Kitchen Renovation Inspiration
Making the decision to renovate your kitchen is only the beginning of a very exciting process. From here you need to work out your budget and also choose the right company, and that's us. At Craftbuilt Kitchens we have been carrying out beautiful kitchen renovations for over 30 years.
Our fully qualified designers and experienced showroom staff can help guide you through the process that, when done through us, you will find is a very enjoyable and rewarding one. One of the most exciting parts of a kitchen renovation is choosing the style of kitchen you would like.
While our showroom will provide you with many great ideas and our designers can also offer some fantastic advice, you might like to keep reading here for some styles and ideas you may not have considered.
Bistro Style Kitchen
Bistro style kitchens offer a modern kind of feel. By adding simple features such as timber veneer and a blackboard for scribbling shopping lists or the weekly menu you create a relaxed and cool area to prepare your food. Wine lovers may even like to add a wine rack.
Natural Light and Nature
If you're stuck for kitchen splashback ideas why not add a window? This will add a whole new level of lighting to your workspace and also offer a great view into the garden if you have one, or create one! Window splashbacks are easy to clean and the natural light means less electricity used during the day.
Wall Storage
If you have the space in your kitchen you could have shelving added into the wall away from the preparation area. This means you don't have to have bulky cupboards above the sink, which will allow a more open ambience. The shelving can include custom wine racks and space for recipe books.
Timber Lovers
If you love the idea of a timber kitchen, go for it. You can give this style of kitchen a more modern edge by adding stainless steel benchtops and high gloss cabinets in your choice of colour teamed with stainless steel appliances.
Another idea with timber if you don't want to add colour is to use a couple of different tones. This look can be quite effective; however; you have to be careful that the grains are similar. By doing this you will avoid the kitchen looking too busy.
There are so many more fantastic ideas available to consider and all you need to do is contact us at Craftbuilt Kitchens to set you on your path to kitchen bliss. Visit online today at http://www.craftbuilt.com.au/.
