The Shame Of The Cross
Contributed by Paul Norwood on Mar 19, 2012 (message contributor)
Summary: While we normally focus on the pain Jesus suufered, this is an attempt to focus on the horrible shame associated with His crucifixion.
The Shame of the Cross
Text: Deuteronomy 21:22-23
I. Welcome
II. Introduction
Our theme this year is "Beyond Ourselves in 2012!" The thrust of this theme is on carrying the gospel to our community as the Lord commanded us in the great commission recorded in Matthew 28:19-20. Just as our salvation began at the cross, I believe any evangelistic outreach must begin there too. While there are so many aspects of our Savior's death, perhaps the most neglected one is the subject of today's lesson: The Shame of the Cross. Most of the time we focus on the physical pain our Lord suffered and the temporary separation He experienced from His Father. Most of us at one time or another have suffered from intense pain and homesickness. And, I venture to say, most of us would choose either or both of these rather than suffer shame. Let's re-read our text from Deuteronomy 21:22-23 – "If a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God." Notice that verse 22 addresses an offense subject to capital punishment under the old law. Once the execution has been carried out, then the body of the criminal is hung from a tree or pole in public disgrace. This not only served as an example for deterrence but would also be shameful for the family and friends of the criminal. I like the way Earl Kalland expresses the meaning of "accursed of God" in The Expositor's Bible Commentary. "Since judgment basically is God's, the judgment that takes a person's life out of the covenant community as a perpetrator of the worst kind of sin and displays that judgment by the humiliation of hanging his body in public shows that that person is under God's curse." Therefore, he is accursed of God. Peter Craigie explains it even better in his commentary: "The body was not accursed of God because it was hanging on a tree; it was hanging on a tree because it was accursed of God. And the body was not accursed of God simply because it was dead, but it was accursed because of the reason for the death. To break the law of God and live as though he did not matter or exist, was in effect to curse him; and he who cursed God would be accursed of God. To break the law of God and incur thereby the penalty of death, was to die the worst possible kind of death, for the means of death was a formal and terminal separation from the community of God's people." Crucifixion was never a Jewish form of capital punishment except for a brief time during the inter-testamental period – between the old and new testaments. Crucifixion perhaps originated with the Persians as Herodotus mentions the crucifixion of 3,000 Babylonians by Darius. The Greeks also practiced crucifixion as evidenced by Alexander the Great crucifying some 2,000 on the beach after finally capturing the island city of Tyre in 332 B.C. But it was under the Roman Empire that we learn the most about crucifixion and it was in this era that the Son of God suffered this most extreme form of punishment. I hope you'll study with me for the next few minutes as we look at how Jesus underwent this most wretched of deaths and suffered shame on the cross for you and for me.

🆘‼😯🔥 Terrible, if already an infant has to live under the burden of hijab. pic.twitter.com/hm2GqMZ778
— Onlinemagazin (@OnlineMagazin) February 22, 2018
What a cute little girl, right? Only greasy Islamophobes could look at this video and not find it heartwarming, right? Well, consider this: the whole idea of the hijab (and niqab) is that it is entirely the woman's responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. She must cover herself in order to forestall that temptation. So putting a hijab on a toddler is tantamount to stating that a prepubescent girl is a legitimate object of sexual desire, and thus must behave in the same way that is expected of adult women.
There needs to have an honest and open public discussion about this, and its implications for the rights of women and girls, but instead, cries of "Islamophobia" will drown it out, and the hijab left firmly in place on the youngest of girls. Only the greasiest of Islamophobes could possibly object.

I would love to see this without the road. It pulls focus to the yellow lane stripe.
The lighting is perfect for setting off the autumn foliage and the mountain behind, and you can't do much better than complementary colors for appeal so the brilliant orange and deep blue work well. The curve of the road leads the eye into the frame very nicely. The image is nicely processed though I do see a slight halo in the sky, especially on the left. Since the sky is the least interesting feature, I would look at a landscape crop that loses about half the distance between the peak and the top of the frame and a bit off the bottom if necessary.

I wanted to honor today as Rare Disease Day. I do not proclaim to be perfect but learning. My husband cut his thumb, while painting our daughter's bedroom. In that moment everything was happening according to plan. Then disaster struck. My perfect day with my oldest daughter got twisted. He could not continue to work. He needed 5 stitches. Yesterday, I did not feel well. I tried to fix this. The room was suppose to be done on her last day of school vacation. We set up a temporary sleeping situation. My oldest struggle to sleep or get her clothing. I did what I could.
I thought over the film project. I stayed late at work, while a co-worker helped. At midnight last night, I started to paint. The ceiling roller broke in half. Paint spilled on the floor. At 4AM it was done. Our family is the first document case known of passing this awful disease, which took 2 of our children's lives. I miscarried multiple times, who know how many were really effected. I am not going to tell you that we didn't feel angry or shut down. Somehow, we had to make a choice. It was hope or despair. Life is not perfect. This morning I was so over tired and sick that Joy missed her first gymnastics class. This has been a journey of learning to "roll with the punches" and learning when to punch back. Hopefully, I am developing wisdom on choices of the 2.
My hope is someday to hear someone say, "Ms. C., if Avery and Addison were born today, their lives would be different. They may have been alive. Families now can get genetic counseling and mental health services to deal with the genetic information. Families now don't have to wait for a loss. They can seek services before conception and make choices."
Genes are not all we are made of. Everyone deserves medical care! Today, I am make through the day, because we are relatively healthy, except for the cold. This a lot to be thankful for.

Each participant underwent a brain scan and completed testing to measure their levels of rumination and overgeneral memory space. Needlessly to say, the depressed individuals exhibited higher levels of rumination and overgeneral memory space than do the control subjects. They also observed increased functional connection in the anterior medial cortex areas and decreased functional connectivity in the posterior medial cortex regions in depressed patients compared with control subjects. Among the depressed topics, an interesting pattern of dissociation emerged. The increased connection in anterior areas was associated with rumination positively, while the decreased connection in posterior regions was negatively connected with overgeneral memory.Generally scars form as part of the natural healing process where a proteins of collagen is produced at the injured site to seal the wound and while some scars disappear with time others caused because of serious incidents, surgeries, body piercing, acne may remain seeing that raised and discolored scars that deters your looks in the public surely. However, by using the brand-new treatment with silicone bedding and gel it's been found that good results can be attained to reduce marks over a period with non invasive methods for scar removal. The new treatment involves 100 percent medical graded silicone linens that are self adhesive and should be put on on the marks to reduce, flatten, fade and steadily smooth out the scars without the trace.

When I sent the last Telegram? ,it was from the Kidderpore (Calcutta)Post Office..a twin Telegram,one to Andamans and the other to Sikkim ,saying "I embarked the ship will reach soon" another "Embarked the Ship"to Sikkim.After my arrival at home,three days later I myself received the telegram in Andamans. Then came the Land Line,and after mobile phones..the end of Telegrams.English teacher taught us in school ,how to send Telegrams.Now no need to teach the screenagers about sending SMSs.
I even paid Yearly licence fee for our Radio at home in the Post Office.The PostMaster use to cancel the Akashvaani stamp with the Date seal.My father was very Punctual to ask me to take it to Rangat PostOffice for renewal in January.When it ended,i don't remember.
Morse Code was part of my course at Kochi. The beeps ...dashes—-.we decoded it.One of our tutor, a retired Marine radio Officer with hearing problems taught us International Telecommunication Rules and regulations..Now ships have satellite communication equipment the Captain himself can communicate.Earlier the ships cannot sail without a Radio Officer.Indian COP2 certificate issued by the Ministry of Telecommunication was valid Internationally.Shipping Corp.of India paid more than 25000 for a radio officer,whereas the pass percentage in the test was only 2%,the candidates opted for overseas jobs which paid them 80000.This was in the year 1991.
Still I listen to BBC in my radio.Murphy,Philips,National Panasonic,Sony are the brands which i used.The FM band was useless in those days,only giving a hissing sound,but one day Thai or Burmese station cameup with some music.Singapore radio(Now MediaCorp)was the highly receptive station with tamil songs ,News and Traffic Announcements.Malaysia Station was Popular with the Jettyside Idliwallahs who wake up early at 3.Radio Veritas from Philipines-a Christian Missionary station with M.A.Swamy reading the 5minute news was very popular.Radio Netherlands with its documentaries on Afro_Asian issues and of course BBC in its English,Bengali ,Hindi and Tamil were my favourite.
The 6.40 AIR Gangtok news followed by Karseong News took my evenings and slowly I use to get drowsy with BBC Bengali followed by Hindi at 7.30 PM.When the dinner is ready call comes the news is over at Central Pendam.The life was so simple,humble and lazy.

A WOMAN from Wrexham says she is terrified she could get a criminal conviction for putting her feet up on a train seat.
Sian Jones, 27, went shopping with her friend to Liverpool last week and the pair initially got the train from Wrexham to Chester before changing onto a Merseyrail service into the city.
Sian, who is due to get married next year and works on Chester Business Park, explained what happened next between Chester station and Liverpool Lime Street station.
"I raised my foot and placed it on the metal bar surrounding the seat opposite me," she said.
"While I appreciate I shouldn't have done what I did, I did not expect the repercussions to be so drastic.
"I hadn't even realised I had done it as I was deep in conversation about my forthcoming wedding.
"I must also add it was a very hot dry day and I had sandals on – no damage or mess had been made on the seat."
Sian was approached by Merseyrail staff who questioned her and asked her to sign a statement.
"They advised me I will receive a court summons in the post in six weeks," she said.
"I am at risk of having a criminal record because of an action that I did not even know was against the law," she continued.
"I am so, so worried about this – I work hard for a living and don't want this to jeopardise my career."
Sian, who lives in Brymbo, added: "I am the kind of person who would stand up on a crowded bus or train for an elderly lady to sit down – pretty normal stuff I think but obviously in this day an age this kind of thing is rare. I rarely use public transport and have only been on a train about three or four times in my whole life as I usually drive everywhere – but I will never go on a train again."
Rudi Boersma, spokesman for Merseyrail, said he could not comment on Sian's case specifically but said: "If the case does go to the magistrates' court, the magistrate will take a view and decide whether Sian Jones committed an offence under the national railway byelaws which apply across the UK.
"Alternatively, it is up to Sian to approach us if she gets a summons to see if the circumstances are such that we could agree to settle out of court with her, but again, as I don't know the circumstances, I don't know if our prosecutions team would consider this.
"Merseyrail has been targeting anti-social behaviour on our trains and stations as this behaviour can potentially lead to more serious disorder.
"Passengers really dislike anti-social behaviour as it intimidates them and makes them feel unsafe."
A WOMAN from Wrexham says she is terrified she could get a criminal conviction for putting her feet up on a train seat.

Thank you, thank you, thank you , sweet ladies, for ALL these fabulous ideas....I am so excited I can hardly sit here...I won't be around YOUR blogs today because, guess what!?! I am off to pick up some fabric and paper . I will most likely come home with several different styles and colors and, hopefully, I can try a few, take pictures and let you tell me which might look good. Actually, I don't want GOOD...I want, in the words of our sweet sisters, K & K, "FABULOUS WONDERFULNESS!!"
Most of you have seen this view below of my kitchen.....these cabinets were just builder- grade plywood and sooo ugly when we bought this 50's ranch over 30 years ago. I couldn't afford all new cabinet doors so Sweet Hubby used his router and made the doors look like bead board. I painted all the original hardware black and the cabinets came out looking really good, even tho they are vintage. They go very well with the age of the house and someday *sigh*.....we MIGHT get new counter tops....not granite but pretty ones, nonetheless! Until then, I can live with the butcher block look-alike counter tops for awhile longer.
.....oh.....don't forget to LOOK at my cute little tea kettle there on the stove.....:)
I am needing to add some 'pizazz' to some of my OTHER kitchen cabinets....the ones with the glass doors. Right now, the insides are the same creme color as the outside. On a blog, but I can't remember WHO'S, she had painted the inside of the cabinets a different color and just made things in the cabinet POP.....
My upper cabinets are creme, the walls are pale sage and the bottom cabinets are colonial red....The doors on the cabinets on either side of this window are glass.

JIRA 6.0 RC 1 Release Notes
6 May 2013
Atlassian is proud to present JIRA 6.0 RC 1. This public development release is part of our Early Access Program (EAP) leading up to the official JIRA 6.0 release. We are making these EAP milestones publicly available so that developers can start assessing the impact of the changes that we are making.
Note: This is our first release candidate. There are no feature changes or functional differences from our Beta Release.
Love what you see in JIRA 6.0?
If you've tried out the JIRA 6 EAP and like what you see, we'd love to include your quotes, comments, and story of how JIRA 6 will change the way your teams work. Email Sara Yin to send us your quote.
Read before you install/upgrade: Atlassian does not support upgrades both 'from' and 'to' EAP releases. EAP releases should not be used in production environments as they are not officially supported. For all production use and testing of JIRA, please use the latest official release instead.
Key Features
New JIRA look and feel
JIRA 6.0 has been redesigned in accordance with the new Atlassian Design Guidelines. We want to provide you with an amazing user experience that helps you get your work done as effectively as possible. We think you'll find most common tasks simple and unobtrusive, with improved efficiency.
In most cases, the changes are cosmetic and the functionality is the same.
- The documentation will be updated for functional changes, but not for all cosmetic changes, at least not for a while. (This means that screen shots in the documentation will not match the product during this transition period.)
- We've rewritten and redesigned several dozen User Management pages.
- View issue keeps evolving and is getting faster.
- We have beautiful new icons throughout the product.
If you are a developer, you need to update your plugins to work in JIRA 6.0. The following documents are designed to help you with this transition:
- Preparing for JIRA 6.0 – summary of technical changes, with links to additional resources
- Building UI for a plugin shipping to multiple versions of JIRA – how to manage plugins for multiple versions of JIRA
We have made changes to JIRA's stable (Java) API. For details on this, see the Clirr results. Also see our Java API policy for JIRA for technical information on the JIRA Java APIs and our approach to changing them.
In this release:
Detail View
JIRA is optimized to let you quickly navigate lists of issues, switch to a detail view from the basic list view and back again, and take action on those items that need your immediate attention. The detail view lets you view an issue within the context of the filter it's a part of. This is great when you are triaging issues and you need a bit more context.
More direct access to JIRA Administration
JIRA Administrators now have easier direct access to the pages they use most. Now, instead of navigating to the JIRA Administration features by choosing the Cog menu at the top right of the screen, then choosing JIRA Admin > Projects (for example), you can navigate directly from the Cog menu to the functional area you wish to administer, e.g., Cog menu > Projects. See the illustration for details.
JIRA Mobile
You can now view mobile-optimised versions of JIRA pages on your iPhone or Android phone. The JIRA mobile interface is designed for viewing and interacting with issues on the go. Simply browse to your JIRA server's URL using your mobile browser to bring up the mobile interface for JIRA.
Search improvements
Stable Search
Now, when you search, your search results remain constant until you choose to refresh them. This provides you with a stable set of search results that you can work from when triaging issues. And, since your search results don't change as you are making changes to the list, you maintain the original list you started with.
A faster view issue experience
In this release, we've streamlined the interaction with the View Issue screen and removed page loads to speed things up. We've also made additional performance improvements that make navigation between issues much faster. This makes going from stable search to viewing an issue and back again much faster. We will continue to improve performance for searching and viewing issues during JIRA 6.0.
Editable usernames
For all of you who have been anxiously awaiting this feature – "rename user" being the #2 most requested feature, as determined by customer votes – JIRA Administrators can now edit any username in the JIRA Internal Directory. This ability is important to have when you connect JIRA to an LDAP directory and the username format is different. Now you can edit the usernames before you connect to your LDAP directory and have them match in JIRA. Once the username is changed in the internal directory, all parts of the JIRA interface display the updated username.
Better workflow
Global workflow schemes
Now you can edit an active workflow scheme on a project: a draft is created, and the migration is handled through the normal migration process.
The following functionality is available:
- Add existing workflows
- Remove workflows from scheme
- Reassign issue types between workflows in the scheme
- Publish draft
- Discard draft
In addition to this, workflow schemes can be edited even if they are associated with more than one project.
Workflow sharing
The new Workflow Sharing feature allows you to share your team's workflow with other teams in your organisation on different JIRA instances, or external parties in other organisations via the Atlassian Marketplace. This feature allows you to easily use workflows that other people have published, or to move a workflow from staging to production in your own organisation.
Get started faster
Faster JIRA setup with the new administration gadget
We're in the process of redesigning JIRA to help new administrators and users of JIRA get started faster. In this milestone, we've overhauled the administration gadget, which is displayed on the default dashboard for JIRA administrators.
The new administration gadget now displays a handy checklist of common tasks. Click on any task and you'll be taken to the relevant administration screen to complete it. The gadget also provides other helpful information for new administrators, such as links to the JIRA administrator documentation and license details.
Project Templates
We've added a new dialog that allows you to select from different types of projects, when creating a new project.
Please note, in this release, choosing Blank Project, Bug Tracking, Software Development or Project Management in the dialog will create the default JIRA project. However, we are in the process of developing pre-configured project templates for project types. We are considering custom workflows, sample data, preset issue types, default fields, etc, for these templates.
Your use of the dialog will give us with valuable data to help us build the right project types.
New plugin points for the User Profile page
For the ecosystem developers, we have implemented new plugin points for the web panels in the User Profile page. You can override the default 'Details', 'Preferences' and 'Assigned Open Issues per Project' web panels as well as add your own custom web panels.
Other improvements
Translate custom fields
You can translate the name and description of any custom field that you create into another language. You can only select from the language packs that are installed in JIRA.
Browse Project Summary
Starting a new project? You'll be greeted by a more informative screen when you next browse your empty project's summary.
The placeholder text provides guidance on what will appear on the summary, once the project has been populated. It also helps prompt users to get started creating issues and browsing the project.
Reports have moved
We have moved reports from the dropdown menu on the Browse Project > Summary tab to a panel on the same tab. This makes the reports more accessible and presents a cleaner user interface.
Auto look and feel
You can now create a new look and feel for your JIRA instance based on your company's logo. When you upload your company logo, you can choose to have JIRA change your colour scheme based upon the colours in your logo (see example below).
If you don't want to accept the change, simply click Undo in the displayed message.
Global autowatch configuration
We've implemented a new JIRA option that allows administrators to disable the autowatch feature (introduced in JIRA 5.0.3) for all users. To configure autowatch for all users, navigate to Administration > User Preferences (in Users section) > Default autowatch.
Users can choose to inherit the global autowatch setting or override it via their user Profile > Preferences > Autowatch setting.
Please note, if you are upgrading from an older version of JIRA, then all users who have not explicitly set their Autowatch setting will have it set to 'Inherit from global settings'.
Maximum project name size and maximum project key size configuration
JIRA administrators will be able to set the maximum size for both the project name and project key in this release. Navigate to Administration > System > General Configuration and update Maximum project name size or Maximum project key size as desired.
The Maximum project name size or Maximum project key size are defaulted to 80 and 10 respectively. This will not affect the names or keys for your existing projects.

I'm gradually getting a handle on the Japanese.
Work is getting better.
I'm aceing my history course.
A mentioned earlier I'm dropping the Kanji class tomorrow.
Spring break was spent studying and recovering from a cold.
I got paid up with the University finally, meaning I can use their facillities and E-Mail. That is a big deal indeed.
I've been slacking on my excersize regimine and the weight has been creeping back up. That stopped yesterday when I powerwalked from the parking lot to the Laffayette river and back. (about 4 miles).
Still no water in my home, but paying off the one big debt was its own reward.
Busy Busy Busy......

I like this one because I was able to branch out a little bit in regaurds to genre and not use the same indie rock songs I use on all the others.

2. Friday I'm in Love - The Cure
3. Cream and Bastards Rise - Harvey Danger

Believe it or not, Minneapolis was actually warmer than Seattle today, reaching 43 degrees while Seattle only reached 42. That 42 degrees, if it holds, would set the record making this the coldest high temperature for March 28th, breaking the previous record of 43 degrees.
Mr. Moe is doing his smug dance today. Or whatever dance it is when you laugh at the people who laughed at you for moving somewhere really cold when it's colder back where you came from than where you moved. Or something.
Now, this cold isn't a bad thing...it's been snowing. Not just down here in the city, but up in the mountains where it counts. And more importantly, at Mt. Baker where we Chickens will be spending a couple days. And by "snowing" I mean "an ass-load of snow". Like to the tune of 50 inches since Sunday (as of 2:00 this afternoon). Here's their snow report:
What an incredible week it has been at Mt. Baker, with more than 50 inches of new snow falling since Sunday, and temperatures very cold for the end of March! Forecasts are calling for continued moderate snowfall today and Saturday, with possible clearing on Sunday, and freezing levels staying below 1,000 feet.
Now, all this is well and good for the skiing, but I'm also in bike training. And I need to ride 40 miles tomorrow morning. Wonder what the forecast says? Let's jump back to KOMO and find out:
Saturday will be another mix of these rain and/or snow showers, with snow most likely above 300-500 feet, but accumulations an inch or less -- kind of like today, but not as widespread. Highs will try to reach the mid 40s, but will cool during any showers. On the other hand, sunbreaks should be more plentiful than today.
Hmm...not promising. What does Accuweather say? Mostly cloudy with showers, high 48. More importantly, the "hourly forecast calls for:
9 AM: Rain, 37
10 AM: Cloudy, 39
11 AM: Cloudy, 42
Noon: Cloudy, 44
Well, since I plan on riding from 9 to noon I guess I'll get wet, then dry out, and generally be cold. Lovely!

Sometimes you just have to do what you have time to do, and not stress about it.
I was feeling pretty lousy about my time-management and productivity last Monday. I went into work (after oversleeping, being five minutes late, and just generally feeling like I seriously needed to get my act together) at the drop-in center. Surprisingly, I had a really good/random attitude going on. I started verbalizing my thoughts to the kids: "Hey kids, Miss Ruth needs help getting her life together. I need a life coach. Any takers?" Since the majority of the kids were under the age of five, no one really had the slightest clue what I was talking about. That's okay, because I'm pretty sure I didn't have a clue what I was talking about, either.
Since no one immediately volunteered, I turned to the youngest kid there, a 23 month old boy. "Hey *insert child's name here*, would you like to be my life coach?"
He kind of babbled a little and squealed. I took that as a "Yes."
So I shook the kid's hand and said, "Okay, Coach. Tell me how to get my life together."
The kid laughed, ran away, climbed up the slide, and went into the play tunnel.
I shrugged and climbed up the slide to join him.
Now, I've been working at that particular drop-in center for more than six years. In those six years, I've probably only been inside that tunnel six times--like maybe once a year--and five of those times I only went in the tunnel because there was some screaming child who refused to get out of it and needed me to go in after him/her. The tunnel is dark and scary, and although we sanitize it every night, my brain still tells me that is infested with "khe cooties." But Coach showed me it was time to just forget the "kid cooties," drop my serious attitude, and go ahead and climb inside the tunnel. So I did.
Two years ago, I would have probably been too fat to be comfortable inside the tunnel. But I'm sixty pounds lighter now than I was then, so the tunnel didn't seem as cramped as it did in years past. And I followed Coach all the way through the play tunnel, laughing at the absurdity of it all, laughing because Coach taught me something important:
Don't worry. Stop stressing. Just go with it. Laugh. Have fun. You can't control everything, so just do what you can and enjoy LIFE.
Then, after our romp through the play tunnel, Coach pointed the the floor. I interpreted this to mean that he wanted me to "drop and give him 20." I dropped and gave him...4. Well, it was more like 3 and a half. He laughed at me. 23 months old and he was laughing at my feeble attempt to do push-ups.
And I didn't just make that last part up. The other grown-up there saw the whole thing.
...she laughed at me, too.
So, yeah. This week? Did I get all the grown up stuff done that I was supposed to get done? No. In fact, I consider it a huge accomplishment that I remembered to get new stickers and registration for my license plate this week. That was my grown-up accomplishment for the week. Getting my car legal. The rest? I worked a lot. I ran a lot. I tried to get to bed on time. I tried to wake up and get to work on time. And if I managed to get anything done between those things, then, well, that was pretty good for me. Honestly, sometimes you just have to let things go and trust that God's going to provide. It's all about balance. Have I ever mentioned here that I'm not very good at that?
This next week shouldn't be quite so busy, though...so while it's good not to worry, it's also good to be responsible.
--I do hope to get this job application DONE this week. That's my goal. I need to set a deadline if it's going to happen.
--I want to actually look at some of my writing and at least make some plans for what I want to do with it--nothing major. I just want to get some ideas flowing for when I have more time to devote to it.
--I want to run 10 miles in preparation for my half-marathon. I now know I can do it because I did it. I ran over the required 13.1 miles. And astonishingly, I ran it in the time I hoped to run it. The day of the race, I'm kind of hoping for a better time, but there are so many variables. The climate will be a little different since it's in a different state--but I'm hoping it will be cooler since it's further north. I'm running around a reservoir, so I'm hoping it won't be too humid. I'm really hoping it doesn't rain, although that would be better than scorching heat/sunshine--which probably won't be the case since it starts at 7 in the morning. Also, I'm not sure about the hills on the course--as much as I hate hills, my legs hate them even more. People say that adrenaline will kick in the day of the race, so I should be able to run faster, but from my past experiences, that's probably not going to be the case. Honestly, I will be happy if I finish under 3 hours, but I'm hoping for under 2:45. Okay, so I'm hoping for under 2:40, but we'll see what happens. Just the fact that I'm doing this is still pretty miraculous. God has just amazed me in the past year--how He's changed my mind and body. It's incredible.
--I want to reread a book for a review. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping to do a few book reviews in the next few weeks--these aren't for books that I've been asked to review. I just like doing it--letting other readers know what's out there. If you have friends that read a lot and are looking for new stuff to read, be sure to direct them to my blog.
--I need to figure out my living situation. Like, now. I think I'm in denial that my roommate is moving, and that I will probably have to move, as well. I don't like being a grown-up. Sometimes, it's fun to crawl through tunnels and not have to worry about stuff, but I think that even Coach would agree that sometimes grown-ups have to be grown-ups.
...he probably also agrees that it's pretty pathetic that I can only do 4 push-ups.
Okay, okay...so it was more like 3 and a half.
Happy Monday Funday!

The Dolphins have $21.5 million in cap space if the projection of a $168 million salary cap in 2017 is correct. During the NFL season last year, Kaepernick caused controversy by kneeling during the National Anthem at games to protest racial oppression and police brutality.
His 667 receiving yards ranked 64th among NFL receivers and, more than that, Kerley isn't even signed for 2017. Toronto also loves its football, which you won't truly understand until you go Kobe Bryant black jersey there, spend time there, and live there. The athlete platform is dynamic and the reach is one the Raiders basketball singlets sale acknowledge through their community work..
Speaking to reporters on Sunday night in New Jersey, Trump also offered his own take on the players and coaches who chose to lock arms on the field during http://www.blackmambajerseys.com/ the anthem, describing it as a display of that he approved of. Safety Malcolm Jenkins probably will drop down into the slot in certain early down packages..
20, Leidner completed 14 of 19 passes for 129 yards for a solid passer rating of 91.8. In addition to a player salary, he may be eligible for other money, such as a signing bonus real nba jerseys for sale or other bonuses that are written into his contract. I think I'd be pretty good at it, but you never know.
"This is not an emotional reaction to recent events, rather an ethical decision that part of me regrets but my core knows is the right choice.". Since the trial was the Kardashians for millennials," said Zimmerman, referring to Simpson's close friendship with the reality TV clan that was highlighted in a recent television series about the case.
Instead, the Titans managed to run for just 69 yards on 20 carries and surrendered six sacks.. Even if your not of German descent, you can still enjoy the fun and festivities. The Owls' strength coach, Wilson Love, often tells players they have to be "comfortable being uncomfortable." The motto is especially important to Driskel this week.
The classic Xbox contains a variety of non gaming features as well, including the ability to rip music from CDs to the hard drive and DVD playback with the Xbox DVD remote. 14, middle linebacker Nico Johnson made nine tackles in the Bengals' 23 10 victory over the New York Giants.
The Falcons also have 80 first downs through four games only four more than the Dolphins. I was the youngest of four. Goldsmith The Cybex test is a component of the National Football League's Scouting Combine used by scouts and coaches to gauge the various skills, conditioning and preparedness of draft prospects.
The players say they are "taking a knee" to protest police brutality inordinately targeted toward African Americans. With Solder out during training camp because of an injury, Waddle has been with the starters.. Protest whatever other way you want to.
J'en ai ressenti les consquences quand j'tais en dpression durant mon divorce.. The field goal was the fourth of the game for Tavecchio. Rogen, actor Michael Pena will also appear in the Super bowl ad. By ranking Watkins 13th, lower than I would if I knew I'd get, say, 13 games out of him (a la 2015), I actually have that risk already priced in, with a potentially lucrative reward if he can get through the season without a major injury..
Purcell Marian. The appeal would be scheduled "promptly," nhl jerseys according to the letter the NFL sent the running back. Feel like that just a matter of will and how bad you want it, Davis said. Last year, he was 43 for 80 for 561 yards, one TD, three INTs and seven sacks on third and eight or more..
The Seahawks are projecting Ifedi as a guard in their offense.. Watt).. Regardless of the circumstances, he needs to be real nba jerseys for sale positive and enthusiastic for the team to follow. "We're looking forward to it, it's going to be a great opportunity for us to support the NFL and what we think is a very worthwhile effort.
But the Cowboys made it clear Whitehead wasn't worth the trouble either way. You look at Tom Brady play, he looks like a little kid who just got in the league playing with that wonderment of Carson basketball jersey set Wentz. LeSean McCoy ran himself into the ground, but the fact that Robert Woods was the team's leading receiver with just 613 yards spoke volumes about the quality of the offence.

You have probably seen this many times where you usually spread the great word about crypto. It is not unstable? What goes on if the value failures? So far, many POS devices delivers free transformation of fiat, improving some concern, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will undoubtedly be reluctant to hold any. We must discover a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it is fundamentally vital that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just select to print unlimited numbers (I 'm not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Multi Level Marketing – The Affluence Network Reddit
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on quite lucrative business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be challenging to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small gains is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to examine novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there is more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.
speed, really secure system, lower prices, fewer errors and elimination of principal point of attack. There are many businesses which are showing interest in the new
It's certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities regardless of marketplace conduct. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they participate in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it truly is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you might be required fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a reasonable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and affirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. If you are in search for The Affluence Network reddit, look no further than T.A.N..
Hybrid Binary – The Affluence Network Reddit
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of value, but there's no actual palpable kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of shares won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the benefit.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the method by which it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything temporary where your web visitors could challenge or desire a discounts, or use illegal sleight of hand. In-practice, most merchants could be a good idea to use a payment processor, because of the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency deals, you should be sure that safety is hard. With any form of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal tips and so steal your money. Sadly, you most likely can never have it back. It is quite crucial for you yourself to follow some great secure and safe techniques when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from all of these adverse activities.
In case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be traded being a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that sort of online money isn't controlled by way of a fundamental banking system and is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a limited number of goods, this money's value is based on market forces, permitting homeowners to business over cryptocurrency deals.

I love my computer so much, but one of the things that often frustrate me is the fact that my printer is always running out of ink. Usually I try to purchase online, but sometimes it can be difficult to find a place that has ink, and often times I am unsure of the quality. Well just recently I found a great place where you can purchase cheap ink that is also high quality. At Ink Grabber dot com they have a huge assortment of inkjet cartridges for whatever printer you have. I really like that Ink Grabber dot com has such a huge assortment on ink that often times can be difficult to find in stores.
Best of all Ink Grabber dot com currently has a coupon where you can get 10% of any order of their high quality printer ink. So what are you waiting for, check out what Ink Grabber dot com has to offer, you will not be disappointed.

A Story for the Telling (Part Two)
The Master Storyteller nodded his head. "You have plot, characterization, and your craft has improved."
The little girl chewed her lip. She wanted to pump her fist in the air, but restrained herself in front of the Master Storyteller. She was sure he could see her heart hammering in her chest.
He drummed his fingers once more, then pushed the sparkly binder toward her. "But your story lacks voice." And he flicked his wrist in dismissal.
She blinked, aware that she was to retrieve her story and leave the presence of the Master. But she couldn't move. "Voice?" While she waited for some kind of clue as to what that meant, she racked her brain for knowledge of the concept.
"Voice." And he called for the next appointment.
With her binder once more clasped to her chest, the little girl moved toward the door. She hesitated, but this time the doorman only shrugged his shoulders and offered her a sad smile. At the entrance to the palace, she glanced around the courtyard unwilling to leave the city. She had come too far to walk away from her dream and with a renewed resolve decided she was in the perfect place to discover more about 'voice'.
It was only mid day, too early for all the storytellers to be sharing their tales, but there were still plenty for the little girl to listen to. She stopped at the first fabler and focused on his words and the small crowd gathered around. When he had finished, and the audience had shown their appreciation with a smattering of applause, she stepped forward to ask him about voice.
"You must read extensively. The stories you enjoy the most should be the ones you write. I read every day."
She thanked him and moved further into the city. Another storyteller in the midst of entertaining an even larger crowd drew her attention. His story made her laugh along with the audience and she juggled her binder in order to applaud his efforts when he finished. As before, she approached him once the lingering fans had left.
"Write. Write as much as you can and for other reasons than just to tell your story. My journey here included a stint at limerick poetry and couplets in the Land of Rhyme."
With a heartfelt thanks the little girl continued her quest. So far the storytellers who were good enough to work in the City of Tales had alluded to reading and writing. But she did read and write and obviously that was not enough to give her story the uniqueness the Master Storyteller required.
She passed a few more minstrels as she contemplated her voice. A noise to her left pulled her from her reverie. A tremendous group of people was gathered around what the little girl could only surmise to be a fabulous storyteller. She nudged her way through the crowd until she stood at the front and stared in wonder at the tiniest man she had ever seen. He sat upon an upended apple crate, engaging the audience in a story of epic proportions.
By the time he had spun his tale, she and the crowd behind her were entranced. Moments passed in complete silence until the tiny man stood up and bowed his head, breaking the spell and inciting a rousing cheer, thunderous applause, and loud whistles of appreciation. While the crowd slowly dispersed, many going up to the storyteller and offering personal thanks, the little girl took the time to dry her eyes. The beautiful words had moved her to tears.
She waited until the stragglers had left and asked the storyteller about voice, sharing what she had learned from the others. He gestured toward her binder and asked if she had written a story. She said she had and waited to hear his wise words on finding her voice. She was surprised when he asked another question.
"But is it a story for the telling? Have you told your story aloud?"
Of course she had read her story aloud finding the practice helped in perfecting her craft.
"Not the words on paper. Not the way you have written them. Have you read your story from your heart?"
He gestured for her to sit, then he paced before her. "Do not dismiss what the others have told you for reading and writing are very important in learning who you are as a storyteller. But how you tell a story, from your heart, is the key to defining your voice. Anyone can put words upon paper, but each of us has a heart that beats differently. Speaking your story bypasses the mechanics and lets your uniqueness as a storyteller shine through."
Her mind whirled at the storyteller's insight. Finally she understood why the Master Storyteller dismissed her. She had a story, but it lacked heart. No, it lacked her heart. She jumped up from her seat and thanked the tiny man profusely. He nodded his head and wished her luck.
As she ran through the city, her heart hammering in her chest, she passed the doorman on his way home. He called to her, "Where are you going?"
She slowed only enough to shout back at him over her shoulder, "I must go home and get to work."
"Will you return?"
"Oh, yes. And this time with a story for the telling."
So, People of Blogland, what say you about voice? Do you have any other tips besides reading extensively, writing lots, and reading your story out loud to help a writer find her voice? As a writer looking for her voice, I look forward to your insight and suggestions.

Ah, the great, grand SNIPE HUNT of finding voice. No. That's unfair. Looking for your voice as a writer is not truly a wild goose chase as much as it can be a frustrating journey. When the discussion of voice comes up, I always point to Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb. For years, she wrote the In Death series under the Robb pseudonym and none of her fans realized it. Personally, I love the Robb books and while I've enjoyed those Roberts books I've read, they aren't on my WIN list.
How to find *your* voice? Listen to yourself. How do you speak when you talk? Tell an old story out loud--like "Jack and Jill," but tell it YOUR way. Listen to the cadence of your voice, the way you describe the setting and your characters. Make note of how you embellish the plot. All of those things make your voice as a writer unique.
Trust me, Janet, when I say you have a unique voice and one that is both entertaining and enlightening.
*you in the generic sense, not personally ;) *One* sounds so...formal, y'know?

I loved this installment! It's so true. I haven't anything more to say, but I will emphasize reading lots (and writing). It's helped me find my voice, and improve my writing.
- June 19, 2009 at 6:53 AM
- Helena said...
This is the most elusive part, isn't it? And yet I've heard it so many times. Writing instructors will tell you all about craft and give you many useful tips to make your writing better, but then they will say, 'Just keep writing, and you will find your voice."
You are a wonderful storyteller, Janet, and full of wisdom. Your distinctive voice will ring through the City of Tales one of these days. I can hardly wait for that moment.
- June 19, 2009 at 7:29 AM
- Janet C. said...
First, thanks, Silver. I really believe writing this blog is helping me find my voice.
Second, where were you last night when I was trying to get the last storyteller to explain what it means to tell a story. Your advice is exactly what he was trying to say. "TELL IT YOUR WAY". Read it from your heart.
Third, I hear ya on the *one* issue.
- June 19, 2009 at 7:50 AM
- Janet C. said...
Hey, Yuna. Yeah, I've heard it over and over again about reading and writing lots. It makes perfect sense - those authors I love to read are telling the stories I love to tell. And as far as the writing goes - I compare it to dancing. If I want to be a dancer, I need to practice - why would wanting to be a writer be any different.
Glad you enjoyed the story :)
- June 19, 2009 at 7:53 AM
- Janet C. said...
Thank you, Helena. I hope to be a storyteller in the City of Tales sooner than later :)
It's funny, isn't it? Finding your voice! I had never heard of the term until I began to take this career seriously - then I realized I had to have one! And you are so right in saying it's elusive. Just when you think you've found it, it slips away or you second guess yourself. As Silver said - 'frustrating'!
As a writer who writes in many forms (short story, poetry, romance), have you found the hunt for your voice easier, Helena? Or does the mutli-genre writing play havoc on your quest?

- Karyn Good said...
I'm only a few pages away from finishing the first rewrite on Common Ground (pumps fist in air) and I'm very much looking forward to starting the second revision. Hopefully part of that will be amping up my 'voice' and how I want to 'sound'. I think of it as hitting the right note and I recognize it when it happens because my planet of words align.
I do look to my fav authors and fav stories to figure out how I wanted my voice to sound. I want to be just like them only sounding like me.

- Ban said...
Silver, I've got friends in WV who told me they wanted to take me snipe hunting - my response ? Aren't they found near the water ? hee hee :D
Anyway, Janet, to me finding voice is like having an epiphany - you can hear the same thing over and over again but then ... one day it suddenly 'clicks' and you no longer 'know' you UNDERSTAND. Voice I believe is what you sound like when you are not TRYING, when you're just being your natural self. Think of how you tell your story in your head, getting the scene and dialog right before typing it out - THAT is your voice. And yes, blogging is a tremendous help because you are more likely to 'be yourself' in this informal setting than while attempting to 'write'. Silver is right, you do have voice and it is very obvious in your posts !
- June 19, 2009 at 9:26 AM
- Janet C. said...
Planet of words align - love that phrase, Karyn.
I believe your voice shone through in the very first version I read, Karyn. I'm looking forward to reading the revised (and congrats on getting through it) and hearing more of your 'heart'.
- June 19, 2009 at 11:06 AM
- Janet C. said...
I so agree, ban (not with the snipe hunting, for snipes are extinct in this neck of The Prairies :) about the epiphany. I've been working hard on my writing and it wasn't until I started working on this blog and starting another story (Mac and Gillian) that I realized where my uniqueness stood. Now, as I ponder Lady Bells over the summer and decide if I want to continue submitting, I'm thinking of how to let that voice shine through in my storytelling.
It's one thing to go "Aha" and another totally to figure out how to fix a story where you've edited your voice right out of the manuscript. I think I've done that with Lady Bells.
Hey, once I pack up and go 'offline' I'll have lots of time to think - and write :)
- June 19, 2009 at 11:11 AM
- Ban said...
Hey Janet - call me crazy but I have an idea ... take a short break from Lady Bells, then, when you feel the call again ... start from scratch. What I mean by that is ... pretend you're the little man in your post and retell your story over again, sticking as closely as you can to the original (without looking at it) but use the words that come to you. I think of all those orator who retold the Homer's epic poems. They stuck to the story as closely as they could but over time, they could not help but add their own voice to it. If too much editing has taken your voice out of the story, that might help ... no ? am I insane ? ah, well, I'm sure I'm in good company.

- Anita Mae Draper said...
Put your hand up if you clicked back to the comments on Janet's last blog to see if anyone picked voice...
'I think of it as hitting the right note and I recognize it when it happens because my planet of words align.'
Yup, I agree. (Nice wording Karyn.)
I've been told I have lyrical voice and I think that comes from the sentence structure itself. I wrote poetry and lyrics before I wrote fiction. I would tap out the cadence for my poems to ensure they sounded just right. I do the same for my writing, sometimes spending an hour on one paragraph until it's fluid and rolls off my tongue like a smooth chocolate pudding.
And although I won't list them here, I also use a lot of rhetoric devices to jazz up my writing. For those who missed it, you can find that post here: http://tinyurl.com/nje4jr
So I guess I'm getting to know my voice because others have told me what they like about it.
And Janet, you do have a very distinctive voice. Hmmm... light bulb moment here... I'm wondering if we can do a post of anonymous Chick writing samples and the comments can be comprised of guessing who's who. We could be given the same blog topic and each write a 100-150 word para or something because that's the writing we read every day. It might not be scientific, but I think it could be fun.
Excellent post, Janet.
- June 19, 2009 at 11:53 AM
- Hayley E. Lavik said...
Anita, love the suggestion of spotting anonymous Chick voices.
Janet, I have to say voice is my favourite part of the whole process, it's the thing I don't get to do in academic writing (although I'm starting to ignore them). In fiction I can write with implied sarcasm and people won't read it straight. I can play with proper sentence structure and write verbless fragments. Voice is fine and dandy :)
I know I had one of those epiphany moments when I rewrote the point of view in Eventide, and found my chance to finally meld my voice and her voice, rather than keeping her at a distance and imposing unnecessary commentary on the action. Blog writing has definitely been valuable for getting to know my voice as well, although that could be said for any casual writing. I was very conscious when I started of trying to maintain a natural tone, not sounding all high and mysterious, and eventually struck the right balance.
Digressing a bit, I think it's really interesting that when you came to the clear example of voice in your blog story, it came in the form of oral narrative. We've ended up in such a solitary written culture, inspired, improvised storytelling doesn't occur much any more. I listened to a lovely talk during my History and Future of the Book class, given by author Thomas King, in which he told a First Nations creation story and the Genesis creation story. The tones of the two were vastly different, and the First Nations story was so engaging, so approachable because he made it relatable and brought the audience into it rather than talking at them.
I think of the way you told stories at the retreat, from your 'horror' stories in the north, keeping us up to midnight, to arresting a half-dozen writers in a narrow hallway to talk about hormone research. It was engaging, involving, approachable, with just a touch of self-effacing humour. The way you casually slipped in that reference of your greatest fear of 'flying' at the beginning of your story, and then it all paid off in the end without ever seeming obvious, I thought to myself, "Now that's a damn good storyteller."

- Suse said...
Hi Janet, thank you again for a great blog, I mean story. You do have a "voice" that comes through in your blogs and your story telling "around the campfire." If only we all had that gift.
I think I agree with everything that has been said today. Read and write - a lot!
Like anything, we get better at things when we practice them. Eventually we put our own spin on things. Think of some recipe you've made a hundred times. There will come a time when you'll try something different, just for the heck of it, OR because you're missing an ingredient. You try different things and get different results. Some will be good and others not so good. You'll eventually find something that works. I guess what I'm saying is we need to experiment until we find a "recipe" that we like. Now it's no longer someone else's recipe, but our own. Does that make sense?
- June 19, 2009 at 12:59 PM
- Janet C. said...
Great minds think alike - or is that crazy people tend to gather and feed off each other's wackiness? I'm seriously considering doing exactly what you suggested, ban! Leave Lady Bells and then when I'm resettled, come back fresh and rewrite it in my voice.
Thanks for coming back with your ideas - and be prepared, I might be calling on the betabloggers in the fall :)
- June 19, 2009 at 1:29 PM
- Janet C. said...
I'm hijacking a computer at work (training my replacement and can't be hanging out here on The Prairies all day :( so I'll have to check those comments from last week tonight when I get home. I don't remember if anyone suggested 'voice'. If they did, good on ya!
If you checked out my Ode to the Retreat on the SRW blog, you can see that poetry is not my strong suit. But I do love to write it when Muse takes the notion to rhyme. I admire poets - and I think that lyrical side to writing does help in longer narrative. So good on you for using your strength to your advantage.
We'll have to look into an anonymous Chick posting - but we'll need to wait until the fall, my plate is full to overflowing and, to add another cliche to the mix, I'm barely keeping my head above water.
- June 19, 2009 at 1:36 PM
- Janet C. said...
You have a great voice, Hayley. And I love the fact you're combining your snark (please don't be offended by that - I mean it as a complement) with Alkaia's cynicism to create a story for the telling :)
I had difficulty with my 'fairy tale' due to the fact that my storytellers were orators and I wanted to talk about voice as it pertains to written work. Your comments are appropriate. I ended up understanding (great when the storyteller gets the lesson she's trying to convey :) that every story starts in an oral form. We imagine our characters and create a story in our head - just like our ancestors did before quill and parchment. If we remember to 'tell' that story, then our voice will shine through :)
Ooh, doesn't 'arresting' people in a hallway to 'talk' about hormone research smack of a crazed menopausal woman? Yikes. Ah, retreat - loved that weekend. And I do like a captive audience - where else could you all go as I spewed my northern stories of frozen raw meat and Tuktu soup?
Glad you stopped by Hayley - always love your insights.
- June 19, 2009 at 2:04 PM
- Janet C. said...
Perfect analogy, Suse. Yes, cooking is the perfect parrallel to writing - making it your own, adding your own spin, creative process! Some of us like things a little spicier. Some keep it close to the original recipe, but tweak to include flavors that appeal to us (or our eaters). And some like it sweeter. We are all unique - and we all have different taste buds.
Sorry, I ran with that analogy and might have over cooked it (couldn't resist). Glad to see you visiting today, Suse.
- June 19, 2009 at 2:12 PM

Janet, calling it snark is probably the nicest thing you could have said. I'm thrilled :)

- Jana Richards said...
Hey Janet,
If any writer in the world has a voice, it's got to be you! You are a unique person and a unique writer. Your voice definitely shines through.
- June 19, 2009 at 8:02 PM
- Silver James said...
Okay. Finally back. And late. But, hey, it's been a Very Bad Day(tm).
Hayley, taking Alkaia's POV is brilliant.
Janet, I can't wait for you to get moved, settled, and back to work. Will miss you a lot, lady!
And for anyone who's never seen a snipe, think "tribble".
- June 19, 2009 at 8:15 PM
- Janet C. said...
Hayley - whew, glad you took that in the spirit it was intended.
Jana - thanks so much. Let's hope I manage to corral it with my new take on Gillian and Mac's story - and the rewrite I have planned for Lady Bells :)
Silver - glad you came back. I can't wait to get settled. I'm not even gone yet, but I feel as if I'm out of the loop. You all don't have too much fun until I can get back to my routine in the fall :)
- June 19, 2009 at 9:54 PM
- Helena said...
I'm going to try to answer your question, Janet. Sorry I'm so late that you might even miss this comment. Got back to my hotel a while ago, some red wine coursing through my veins, and began checking emails & such, so don't know how coherent I can be. Plus it's late now!
I think voice is unique to each writer, but it's also possible to have a different voice for the different genres we write in. As you said, blogging has a different flow than more formal writing, and there is a difference between oral and written storytelling. Writing in several genres, as I (attempt) to do, does not make it easier nor is it harder. It's elusive always, but it could be that deciding to write in a different genre might make the writer more aware that the voice required is important.
I was interested in Hayley's comment about academic writing. Even there, I see differences in the voice of one author compared to others attempting to do the same type of exposition. Otherwise, you wouldn't notice differences in style. Plagiarism would be a lot harder to detect, too. (I realise that style and voice are not the same, but for the sake of argument let's say they are.)
Also, some subjects require a different treatment that might be construed as voice. I recall taking a course in Legal Bibliography and one assignment was to write a legal memorandum which follows a prescribed structure. Until that was mastered it was impossible to successfully produce the desired result, even if you had the content down cold. If you missed the "voice" required, it didn't matter how much you knew about the topic because the essence of the assignment was to use all the proper terminology and phrases. That may not seem like a good example, but for me it was an exercise in developing an effective tone and conveying a message, that happened to be a legal opinion, in an effective manner. It required using a certain "voice" that was prescribed, yes, but the process was very similar: looking at good examples of the "genre" and practising (a lot). It was hard work, but satisfying in the end, to get it right.
Oh, dear, time to quit. Too much fun at the alumni reunion! I'm not sure I really know what I'm talking about.
- June 20, 2009 at 12:44 AM
- Janet C. said...
Thanks for coming back and answering my question, Helena. First off, have fun this weekend (I assume you are somewhere other than home and at a reunion of some type :)
Second - good point of voice being different depending on the genre. But there still has to be a voice. Silver alluded to that when she talked about Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb.
Thanks to all of you here today, I have much to ponder over the summer as I travel across the country to my new home. I'm hoping with the lack of Internet (although I will have to take some kind of 12 step program to make it through the withdrawals) I'll be able to give full attention to my writing. Come September, I am hoping to be working it as a day job (until I find a day job that pays money) and will have renewed confidence in my craft and my voice.
Thanks, again, Helena. I appreciate your comments :)

The Zombie Nazi Daily Stormer is back on the surface Web with the ".cat" domain.
The ".cat" is the website domain for the region of Catalonia in Spain:
Catalonia was once separate from Spain as its own kingdom, and the Catalonians are again wanting to be an independent country. This time, by a referendum, the Catalans will make Catalonia an independent democractic nation.
From the BBC:
Does Catalonia have a good claim to nationhood?
It is certainly long-lived. It has its own language, a recorded history of more than 1,000 years as a distinct region, and a population nearly as big as Switzerland's (7.5 million).
