An Epitaph For Mr. Lincoln
The curiously troubled origin of a brief and fitting inscription
February/March 1987 | Volume 38, Issue 2
What should such an inscription say? Sometime in the winter of 1919, Bacon turned to his friend Royal Cortissoz for advice. Cortissoz was probably the most widely known art critic in the United States. Born in 1869, he had been in the 1880s an office boy in the firm of McKim, Mead & White, where he may have met Bacon. He had then become a journalist and had been art critic for the prestigious New York Tribune since 1891. Cortissoz was a traditionalist in the broadest sense, who on the whole spoke for educated taste that preferred its change, or progress, in small, familiar doses. Above all, he was noted for an elegant and unpretentious style of writing. Both friends and foes appreciated his gift for the pithy phrase. He had already composed inscriptions for public monuments and thus was a logical person for Bacon to approach. The logic went even further, for Cortissoz was a passionate admirer of Lincoln.
Cortissoz had been familiar with Bacon's designs since their inception and had enthusiastically urged the architect to focus on Lincoln in the simplest and most symbolic manner. The memorial, he had said, must admit no clutter of displays, flags, or memorabilia "Nobody in it but Lincoln. All his, all the grandeur and beauty, all the calm and space," he insisted. "The main point is to concentrate the mind and heart of everyone who enters upon Lincoln."
Bacon asked Cortissoz to compose an appropriate inscription, a task the critic undertook with trepidation. Cortissoz understood that such lapidary inscriptions posed special challenges. They must be exactly right for any monument and its site and must somehow speak to generations that knew nothing of the exploits they commemorated. The inscription must condense many symbols and ideas yet be complex enough to provoke thought. In this case it could not compete with Lincoln's own words carved on the adjacent walls, with the statue, with Guerin's murals, or with the building itself.
Cortissoz puzzled over the problem. In the first week of April 1919, a heavy cold "swept over me...with the force of an earthquake." One evening while tossing and turning with fever and insomnia, he rose from his bed and, with a broad-nibbed pen, blocked out in heavy letters the words of a single sentence that fell naturally into five lines:
He immediately sent Bacon the text and explained its appropriateness. The inscription was brief and easily remembered. It involved one great idea, saving the Union, and would appeal to both Northerners and Southerners at this late date. Above all, it had "dignity, simplicity and feeling." Immodest or not, Cortissoz thought the words were exactly right. His excitement almost cured his cold. Bacon answered the next day with equal enthusiasm. "I think your inscription for the Lincoln Memorial is a masterpiece!" He promised to have it drawn out and submitted to the commission. "Your inscription must go on the wall over the statue."
Bacon immediately discussed the matter with Daniel Chester French and Jules Guerin, since he did not wish to add anything to the building that might conflict with their own works. They were both enthusiastic. Bacon then wrote to William Howard Taft, now out of office, who was teaching law at Yale University. Taft said he liked the inscription, and noted that it should go before the commission as soon as convenient. Bacon next asked the commission's secretary, H. A. Vale, to ask the members for their opinions. All approved except Sen. Thomas S. Martin of Virginia, who was sick, but his secretary assured Vale that he would follow the other members' lead. Bacon reported these developments to Cortissoz and sent him a copy of the blueprint showing the inscription's proposed form and placement. As of mid-June 1919 the matter seemed closed. Cortissoz took great pride in having solved this difficult problem to his and Bacon's satisfaction.
In the spring of 1922, fate suddenly seemed to dictate otherwise. On the evening of April 17, Bacon awoke Cortissoz with a telephone call saying that the plan for the inscription was in danger. Charles Moore, an important member of the Commission of Fine Arts, had objected. He had nothing against Cortissoz's choice of words but believed, with some logic, that only Lincoln's words should appear in the memorial. Moore was a student of art history who had long been associated with plans to beautify Washington, and he had powerful political connections. His views mattered and would have to be answered.

Santa Fe is in the northwest part of Mexico City. It is the most modern part of the city where most of multinationals and Mexican companies have their offices. Without doubt is the most contrasting district of Mexico City because of the multi-million dollar buildings that rise the nearby shanty towns. Get inBy Car or Taxi is the fastest way. By Bus using the city's RTP bus network. SeeLots of skyscraper buildings. Take a stroll in the Alameda, the central park of Santa Fe.

New York, up more than 200 as London closed on expectations that President Clinton will survive, was a major influence. The Japanese move to reshape its banking system, signs that Russia could be moving towards stability and indications that Helmut Kohl may cling to power in Germany were other favourable factors.
But there is nothing like a round of old-fashioned takeover activity to inspire a stock market, particularly one bedevilled by fears that the good days are over.
Much of the bid action occurred in two heavily depressed sectors, oils and textiles. British-Borneo's pounds 900m-plus merger with Hardy Oil & Gas coincided with Courtaulds Textiles' takeover talks with troubled Claremont Garments and a move to take woollen group John Haggas back into private ownership.
Hardy flared 15p to 180.5p but BriBorneo lost 32p to 209.5p. Claremont rose 6p to 22.5p and Haggas 15.5p to 56.5p. Courtaulds shaded 3p to 162p.
Alvis, the armoured vehicles group, and the much bigger GKN confirmed weekend speculation of a possible new grouping. The most likely development is Alvis buying GKN's armoured side in exchange for shares, with GKN emerging as the major shareholder in the enlarged group. Alvis rose 25p to 197.5p (after 208). GKN firmed 6p to 683p.
With the market still football crazy the "funny old game" remained in the centre circle. Tottenham Hotspur gained 13p to 85p after it transpired that chairman Alan Sugar had turned down an 80p-a-share offer from ENIC, up 5p to 150p. Sheffield United, a division one club, scored the day's best gain, 61.9 per cent to 34p, after admitting it was in talks which could lead to private investors pumping cash into the business.
The rush for football shares, sparked off by Rupert Murdoch's descent on Manchester United, provided further strength for Leicester City, up 7.5p to 44.5p; Southampton Leisure, 7.5p to 64.5p, and Burnden Leisure (Bolton Wanderers), 4.5p to 23.5p.
Newcastle United, said to be talking to a range of media groups, jumped 18p to 107p and ManU, with Salomon Smith Barney threatening to produce a rival bidder to the Murdoch-controlled BSkyB offer, rose a further 6.5p to 228p.
Vaux, one of the market's most bewhiskered bid stocks, frothed 11.5p higher to 289p as it called time on its brewing side to concentrate on its hotels and higher-margin pubs.
Footsie was in positive mood from the start, encouraged by New York's Friday recovery. When transatlantic shares resumed their advance it threw off any hesitancy, ending at 5,268.6. A number of big programme trades helped to swell turnover and were generally more buy than sell exercises. The supporting shares, however, were left behind. The mid cap index gained 39.4 to 4,736.7 and the small cap could manage only a 6 advance to 2,094.
Underperforming Reuters, helped along by Warburg Dillon Read, jumped 42p to 790p and Hays was lifted 67p to 882p by its strong results.
Pearson rose 40p to 1,090p after BT.AlexBrown said the media group had made a "flying start" to the year and put a 12-month target of 1,120p on the shares.
What appeared to be a rogue late trade - 593 shares at 790p - boosted building materials group RMC and the shares closed at 790p, up 83p. Most of the late afternoon trades were around 740p.
Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch giant, firmed 11p to 550p ahead of London meetings with analysts next week; US presentations are due in a few weeks. Hillsdown, splitting into three, is another holding briefings. The shares shaded 2p to 131.5p.
Jarvis Hotels, a shade firmer at 115p, was also holding investment meetings. The market expects profits of around pounds 34m (pounds 31.5m).
Vodafone, reflecting recent investment meetings and bid hopes, jumped 37p to 804p, and Norwich Union was another inspired by expectations of corporate action, improving 38p to 467p.
Ahead of results today, the pub chain JD Wetherspoon dipped 10p to 167.5p; Thomson Travel fell 5.5p to 135p on its maiden figures.
Ladbroke cantered 15.75p to 240p. A monopolies decision on the betting and hotel group's takeover of the Coral betting shops from Bass is due this week. Bass was one of the few blue chips to give ground, off 18p to 817p on worries about its hotel spread. Imperial Chemical Industries was another, easing 11p to 555p on Merrill Lynch caution.
Peterhouse, a construction group, hardened 2p to 82.5p after Williams de Broe calculated a sum-of-the-parts valuation of 180p with a short term target of 120p.
Creighton, the toiletries group, made a slippery return. Suspended at 23.5p while it attempted to take over the Potter & Moore toiletries group, the shares traded at 8p.
SEAQ VOLUME: 922 million
GILTS INDEX: n/a ALAN SUGAR may be immersed in the affairs of the takeover bid candidate Tottenham Hotspur, where he is chairman, but he is taking time out to meet electronics analysts in connection with his original operation. As chairman of the Amstrad electronics equipment group he plans to hold an investment meeting later this month. The shares firmed 1.25p to 29p; a few months ago they were 58.5p.
COULD A rival bid appear for Robert Walters, the recruitment group. Interestingly the rival PSD operation has quietly lifted its Walters stake to 1.79 per cent through Salomon Smith Barney. Since a US group made what is in effect a share exchange offer the value of the bid has slumped and Walters shares have fallen from approaching 400p to 306p. They have been as high as 574.5p.

The therapist will explain the process of hypnosis and review what you hope to accomplish. Then the therapist will typically talk in a gentle, soothing tone and describe images that create a sense of relaxation, security and well-being.
When you're in a receptive state, the therapist will suggest ways for you to achieve your goals, such as reducing pain or eliminating cravings to smoke. The therapist also may help you visualize vivid, meaningful mental images of yourself accomplishing your goals.
When the session is over, either you are able to bring yourself out of hypnosis or your therapist helps you end your trance-like state.
Contrary to how hypnosis is sometimes portrayed in movies or on television, you don't lose control over your behavior while under hypnosis. Also, you generally remain aware of and remember what happens under hypnosis.
You may eventually be able to practice self-hypnosis, in which you induce a state of hypnosis in yourself. You can use this skill as needed — for instance, after a chemotherapy session.

Storage solutions specialist Promise Technology announced the release of the VTrak Ex30 series of storage solutions. The 8Gb Fibre Channel, 6Gb SAS, 1Gb iSCSI and 10G iSCSI solutions incorporate the Intel Xeon C5500/C3500 processor, providing an increase in power and flexibility (up to 650K I/O ps). The VTrak Ex30 series also increases the performance up to four times more than previous generations, from 1,500MB per second to 6,000MB per second, as well as reducing power consumption, requiring less cooling and offering a smaller profile chassis to fit in racks under 20 inches.
Built on Intel's next-generation storage platform, the VTrak Ex30 comes standard with dual power supplies/cooling units for improved uptime and reliability. The company said the VTrak Ex30 is well-suited for primary and secondary storage, especially for businesses utilizing virtualization, cloud storage, business continuity and disaster recovery applications. The fully integrated Ex30 series is available in configurations from 8TB to 384TB of storage. The Ex30 series is available now in selected quantities and will be generally available in the first quarter of 2011, according to a company release.
"The Ex30 system from Promise delivers a number of functions that end users from midrange organizations to enterprise customers expect to see in storage systems, including multi-tiering, storage virtualization, data protection and thin provisioning," said Natalya Yezhkova, research director for IDC's storage systems program. "While many of these functions are delivered by other storage products, the all-inclusive approach is not yet as common. At the same time, having all functionality included in the storage system offering, as it is done by Promise, is important for end users."
A newly developed management tool supports importing configuration scripts and an array of health and performance monitoring tools. The software is localized in 10 languages, and the platform supports advanced drive power management (MAID 2.0) to manage idle drives in an effort to conserve power usage. It also provides support for larger configurations, including up to seven expansion chassis; support for a total of 192 drives is included.
"We are very excited about the storage virtualization opportunities we are seeing when we couple the new Promise VTrak Ex30 with the recently announced VTrak S3000," said Brian Smith, city planning IT director for the city and county of San Francisco. "As a major SharePoint user, the ability to easily provision our storage systems with a scalable solution that addresses our rapidly expanding data is key to our ability to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We find that this new solution from Promise delivers those features and more."

I have quite literally lost count of how many rabbits he has killed. We live next to a big field and every morning I let him outside and he loves it. It must be like a paradise for a cat. He is always at home around 6pm when I come home from work and I keep him indoors until the next morning.
I am getting concerned because he has killed so many, and a couple of times he has brought rabbits back which are still alive and my pet dog has killed them. I am really upset when the dog kills them. And also the way he eats them. How does he eat the skull, etc.? I hear him crunching every last bit of it. But he never eats the white fluffy tail. Would he not choke on the bones?
I cannot consider keeping him indoors full time. That would not be fair on him since he has been going outside since he was a kitten. I have been looking for rabbit toys for him so maybe to get him used to seeing the real ones outside?

I've decided to write a followup article to Part 1 because apparently many of my points were missed or buried beneath the mountain of personal attacks and poor debate tactics. For those of you who posed questions or want to know the truth, read on. For those of you more interested in bashing Scott Jarkoff or me personally, then close your browser because the truth doesn't matter to you anyway. (To read Part 1, click here.)
I did not get fired from deviantART. I voluntarily stepped down from my dual position as Manager of the Message Network Administration and a Policy Violation Administrator. I did not step down solely because of Scott Jarkoff's termination; that act was however the last straw. For me, it was the last in a steadily growing list of things I was dissatisfied with. Those who have put forth the rumor that I was terminated obviously haven't taken the time to do any sort of research whatsoever, and should do so in the future if they plan to spread information. My resignation post is quite easily found on Euphoric Reality and at deviantART, and has been readily available to the general public since the original date of posting.
I mentioned several issues with site content and policy during my stay at deviantART. Daniel Sowers, the head of the Policy Enforcement Department, can attest to this. We had several differences of opinion throughout the years. Other members of the PV team both current and former can also verify this. Therefore, those who have attempted to cast a bad light on me personally by claiming that "I should have said something beforehand" are, quite simply, speaking in error.
I was not a paid employee until 2005. For over two years, I was a volunteer admin who spent an ungodly amount of time at the site and in the community. The accusation that I "kept quiet" about my misgivings because I was earning a paycheck is also unfounded. While I will not disclose the exact amount of my compensation that began in 2005, I can tell you that it is slightly more than minimum wage, and less than a typical McDonald's employee makes. Keeping quiet about misgivings is not only not in my nature, but it would have been pointless in this case.
I have a subdomain of Scott Jarkoff's site. This hardly falls under disclosure rules, as it was never hidden. Even though I own the domain euphoricreality.net, anyone who plugs that into a browser will see it change to euphoria.jarkolicious.com. In fact, it's never been hidden. Anyone who's a regular visitor to my site knows what the domain is. The fact that I have a subdomain doesn't mean Scott is responsible for what I write, or even that he's aware of it. In fact, there are a great number of things that Scott and I disagree on, and he personally "condones" only a portion of what I post on my site. The accusation that Scott and I somehow violated full disclosure is pure, unadulterated BS. Scott was not aware of the article, and I don't control what he chooses to link to. If you have a problem with the article then come talk to me, because I stand by what I wrote.
I am a female. Again, if you can't be bothered to pay attention to basic things like gender, then you shouldn't be spreading information.
I believe it is ultimately a parent's responsibility to know what their children are involved with. Apparently no one noticed this in the article, and perhaps I wasn't clear enough. My statement that I will actively campaign to let parents know what types of content exist on DA was pursuant to my belief that parents need to step up and parent their kids. That being said, DA has a responsibility as well.
I agree that society is screwed up as a rule. However, what is society? Is it not you and me? Is it not every company and every individual coming to complete the big picture? Society is the sum total of cultures and beliefs in our country and our world. If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. To say that "it's not DA's fault, it's society's fault" is a cop-out. DA is a part of society, and as the largest art community on the internet, they need to decide what types of people they wish to cater to. Offering all types of material is fine, if they take steps to shield the potentially offensive or particularly violent material from children.
The idea that "if they don't get it at DA they'll just go elsewhere" is also a cop-out. Should DA offer a section for snuff films? Bestiality? Child porn? There are already policies in place about discussing drug use in a glorifying manner, or using the forums to gain warez serial numbers or cracks. Why does the "they'll just go elsewhere" argument not apply there? Wouldn't you think that violence is inherently more dangerous than a serial number?
It is a proven fact that people immersed in violence learn violence and exhibit violent behavior. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but this is overwhelmingly true. Why else do people from violent homes often grow to be violent? Abused children grow up to be abusers, pedophiles and other sexual predators were often molested. This does not excuse their choices or their behavior in the least. However, it's basic psychology to know that when you see something often over a period of time, you become desensitized to it. This is not opinion, this is fact. Children become desensitized to violence through TV, movies, video games, and violent imagery. I'm not blaming anything for one person's choices except that person. But it's ludicrous to think that you can put a steady feed of violence into a child's mind and not have it affect them.
Being an admin meant I had access to information you did not. The situations I mentioned in the first article were completely true and real, and can be backed up by other staffers. They were also a very tiny portion of what I saw and dealt with on a daily basis for 3 years. I saw the behind the scenes, the inner workings, the help desk cases. I talked to kids, their parents, their friends. I saw the staff reactions behind closed doors. I saw a lot of things that you did not see, and will never see. To say that I am "sensationalizing" is ridiculous. I simply reported a few actual situations that I dealt with.
I am not advocating censorship. My point was not that DA should stop offering violent content. My point was, and will remain, that they need to do a better job at keeping that section of the site off-limits for people under 18 or 21. While I personally don't subscribe to the belief that gore is "art", I do believe that if an 18-year-old wants to create it or look at it, it's his right under the law. An 18-year-old is better equipped to deal with it than a 14-year-old who may already be emotionally traumatized through some home or school issues. Putting a steady stream of violence and gore in front of a child and glamorizing it as being accepted and encouraged is not a healthy thing.
You can say all day that it's the parent's fault. You can claim that "censorship is bad", and you can misinterpret the meaning of free speech all day. However, each individual person has a responsibility to claim his or her own actions. The fact that parents should be taking care of their children doesn't excuse deviantART from all responsibility. They have a duty to "society" to not be part of the problem.
If you want to scream that "it's the parent's fault", then try this one on. It's my duty as a citizen of "society" to ensure that they are informed about the amount of material on DA that is inappropriate for their children to view. I guarantee you that most parents aren't even aware of what their kid is doing on DA. Maybe it'll make a difference if they are.

Yampa Valley Medical Center rang in the new year with a new, tobacco-free policy on its campus.
As of Jan. 1, smoking and tobacco use is prohibited everywhere at YVMC and on property surrounding the hospital, Doak Walker Care Center, GrandKids Child Care Center and the Medical Office Building.
Forty-five hospitals across the state, as well as more than 600 hospitals nationwide, have established similar policies. The Memorial Hospital in Craig will take the final step in implementing its new tobacco-free policy Jan. 20.
"As a health care provider, YVMC is committed to promoting and protecting health," Chief Executive Officer Karl Gills said. "By eliminating tobacco use on our property and collaborating with the tenants of the Medical Office Building, we seek to encourage positive health behaviors."
The new policy bans the use of all tobacco products — including cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco — within the entire campus, parking lots and property. This includes hospital vehicles and employees' or visitors' personal vehicles parked on the premises.
The tobacco ban will apply to all patients, visitors, medical staff members, vendors, volunteers and employees — in other words, everyone who is on the campus.
It has been more than 45 years since the U.S. Surgeon General's office declared, in 1964, that smoking is hazardous to health. Yet smoking remains the nation's No. 1 cause of preventable death and disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Research shows that tobacco use can cause problems for hospitalized patients, such as slowing wound healing and increasing infection rates following surgeries. It also is the most common cause of poor birth outcomes.
"YVMC is not asking patients to stop using tobacco, but we will require them to refrain from its use while on our campus," Gills explained.
Patients who insist on leaving the campus to use tobacco must check out of the hospital against medical advice. They can be re-admitted through YVMC's standard admitting process.
Patient treatment protocols will include tobacco-dependence treatment to assist patients during a hospital stay. If a patient or employee chooses, YVMC will assist him or her to begin the process of quitting tobacco use. YVMC encourages patients to discuss tobacco cessation options with their health care providers in order to select the most appropriate treatment option.
YVMC provides a nicotine counseling program through our respiratory care department. Visit the Web site at www.yvmc.org for more information about this outpatient service, or call 871-2392 to schedule an appointment.
The Colorado Tobacco Quit Line, 1-800-QUIT NOW, is another option for those who wish to stop. The Web site www.smokefree.gov, which is sponsored by the CDC and numerous other public health agencies, is a valuable resource that features an excellent quit guide.
The good news is that it's never too late to quit tobacco use. As soon as a person stops smoking, his or her lungs, heart and circulatory system — the arteries and veins that blood flows through — start getting better.
Within 20 minutes after smoking that last cigarette, the body begins a series of positive changes that continue for years.
Even those who have smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years can cut their risk of coronary heart disease in half within one year after quitting.
As a health care organization, YVMC has a responsibility to encourage and promote healthy lifestyles throughout our community. The hospital appreciates your support as it implements the new tobacco-free policy. And YVMC wishes everyone a happy, healthy new year.
Lisa A. Bankard is director of Wellness and Community Education at Yampa Valley Medical Center. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

These bean fritters appear in several West African countries; they are called akara in Nigeria and Sierra Leone and akla or koosé in Ghana. Although eaten as a snack or side dish, bean fritters are also consumed as breakfast food with hot sauce as an accompaniment (it's more like a thick relish than a sauce). We think the fritters are great as an hors d'oeuvre.
Although we use vegetable oil for frying in our recipe, red palm oil is the preferred frying medium in Africa. And traditionally the black-eyed peas are skinned, but we think you get more bean flavor if you leave the skins on (and save a lot of time as well).
Leave a Review
This is a really good brunch item, especially if you accompany it with a spicy Bloody Mary and a piquant mango salad. (Even better if you have a swimming pool and cute cabana boys!)

Sanmina shares are trading after hours Monday as the contract electronics manufacturer posted lighter-than-projected results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 29.
For the period, Sanmina reported revenue of $1.49 billion and non-GAAP profits of 29 cents a share; Street consensus called for $1.53 billion and 34 cents. Revenue was down from $1.58 billion in the September quarter and $1.5 billion in the year-earlier quarter.
"First quarter revenue and EPS were below expectations due to weak demand across most of our market segments," CEO Jure Sola said in a statement. "Our second quarter guidance reflects seasonality along with continued uncertainty in the macro-environment. Based on the pipeline of new business opportunities and the ramping of new programs in fiscal 2013, we should see improvements in the second half of the year."
Specifically, for FY Q2, the company sees revenue of $1.4 billion to $1.45 billion and non-GAAP profits of 26-32 cents a share; consensus had been $1.49 billion and 32 cents.
Sanmina also said it is calling for redemption at par plus accrued and unpaid interest its $157.4 million principal amount of its Senior Floating Rate Notes Due 2014.
SANM in late trading is down 38 cents, or 3.2%, to $11.37.

institutional decline, or new birth ?
Newer expressions of living out Christian spirituality, might not come in the same guise as before, and are the etchings of a new epoch- free from the trappings of power and mammon.

Standing up against the new empire
For Rhema and others it might be convenient to parade 'pastor' Zuma on their stage or for the NG Kerk, Mr Kgalema Motlanthe, who acts as 'president'. The truth of the matter is however this: the South African government has chosen a path, where the blood money of dictators weigh heavier then Biblical values of justice and peace. But there is more. Given the current ban on religious leaders, who expose the oppression meted out under the dictatorship of Hu Jintao, let's not be naive, there is a danger that they would not flinch to also ban and silence others.
It time for Christians and for the church to open they eyes and realise that in the post-Christian South Africa, where anything (even pulpits, pastors or prayers !) is for sale, we are possibly facing a new kairos, a moment of truth where a new kind christian formation need to emerge, which will speak the truth. Why ? Because, amogst other things,
we believe that the church must therefore stand by people in any form of
suffering and need, which implies, among other things, that the church must
witness against and strive against any form of injustice, so that justice may
roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream;
we also
believe, that the church as the possession of God must stand where the Lord
namely against injustice and with the wronged; that in following
Christ the church must witness against all the powerful and privileged who
selfishly seek their own interests and thus control and harm others.
We believe that, in obedience to Jesus Christ, its only head, the church is
called to confess and to do all these things, even though the authorities and
human laws might forbid them and punishment and suffering be the
Jesus is Lord.
To the one and only God, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, be the honor and the glory
for ever and ever.

Zuma's mistaken claim that God is on their side
We have said it at another post, that we should applaud and welcome polititians, who, in prayer and their membership to a church, seek their wisdom from God and who keep a deep commitment within a church. This is critical for accountability, but also for faith and moral formation. Churches need to do even more to form public leaders. Our faith and theology, as our public leadership, falls under the governance, the reign of God. On the question how we need to understand it in a real way, opinions will allways differ and within the sphere of party politics, it will also be a matter of contest and compromise. The outcome of these cabnnot be simplistically deducted to be God's endorsement of us as a party or me as a poltical leader.

The church is (not) a place of refuge
Our leadership last week decided to support Central Methodist congregation in a small way. This congregation has become a beacon of hope for refugees, predominantly from neighbouring Zimbabwe. This is where missional church in the Southern African context happens. It is unplanned; there's no coffeshop conversations, no Apple Macbooks, no kudus. Here it is smelly, dirty and yes, it's for real. Of late, however, they have also become the target of the wrath of businesses and government because of this. Apparently the MEC of Gauteng for Local Government government, Qedani Dorothy Mahlangu and the premier also chided Verryn for making the church's problem theirs and that they should refrain from attracting people from Musina, to Johannesburg. In any case, they argue, the church is not supposed to be literally, a place of refuge. The refugees from Zimbabwe should not simply become our problem, and after-all *wink-wink* we have a Confederations Cup and a FIFA World Cup on our hands.
The reality of migration, also to Johannesburg, needs to be faced square on. The premier of arguably the wealthiest province in South Africa (if not Southern Africa) cannot pretend that this is not a public and moral matter. Yes, we as faith communities must own up to our calling that the "the Church as the possession of God, must stand where God stands, namely against injustice and with the wronged".
And maybe we are not doing enough. It is therefore critical for the church to look deeper, behind the 'innocence' of government. Indeed, it has often been pointed out that the quack mire in Zimbabwe was caused by the lack of political will to do something, of Mr Mashatile's party and government and a conscious lack of planning. To come now and blame this church for the mess is, to say the least, hypocritical. Of course, it should be granted that church and government, but also all other sectors of good will, must now join hands to respond to this crisis, because indeed, this is a matter of life and death. As for the argument that government don't have the resources to deal with the refugee crisis, we simply need to remind them of the R1 million, a month expenditure on security for one politician, the billions available for sport stadiums and of course, those stashed away in wine estates, etc. Maybe our effort fade in comparison to the kind of projects on our plate, giving hope to the nation. Or maybe precisely these feeble efforts, becomes a irritating reminder, from Gods Spirit of who really matters, today in Johannesburg.

The ANC connection at Rhema is dangerous
Some would argue that our president in waiting needs all the prayers he can get. His most recent prayer session was at Rhema. From news releases it seems however that church members was not to keen to host ANC president. The question was when and where do we cross the line between party politics and using the pulpit of the church as a soapbox, and an honest public ministry to the leaders of the country. Evidently Rhema's leadership goes for a cosy relationship with the one which is destined to become South Africa's next president.
Of course even presidents need the Lord. Jacob Zuma. With all the court cases against him and the negative publicity around his views on sex and women, he needs maybe more then the ordinary you and me. Apparently he also came out for prayer and was prayed for by pastor Ray and maybe this could bode well for Rhema's fortunes. Hallelujah! The difficulty is when the pulpit is being used for the sanctioning of one political party, in the midst of a robust election campaign. It's not right for a church to be too closely associated with government, but more-so, it is dangerous when a church endorse one political party. This also brings me to another point: pastors should willingly lay down their status as a pastor when they enter party politics. So, the ANC connection at Rhema is dangerous.

Oom Tjol, Joost and the 'rugby-church'
Being an ardent rugby supporter, I've often wondered about the role of rugby and in particular the Springbok symbol. When Luke Watson honestly raised his personal struggle over the symbol, he was demonised by the Afrikaans media and apparently he was recently threatened with his life at the Loftus (Versfeld) rugby stadium. Compare this to how the same media responded to the so-called 'Joost van der Westhuizen sex clip', where it seems as if this rugby hero is implicated in a complex situation, as an attempt by the producers of this highly contested clip, to expose Joost's alleged dark side. Joost has consistently denied these allegations, but the interesting thing, is how the Afrikaans media has worked hard at providing evidence that this is in fact a hoax, a serious attempt by nameless individuals to destroy the character of this upstanding Christian family man. Joost then, remains a respected member of rugby's halls of fame, in particular at Loftus.
On the other hand Watson, also a born-again Christian, who spoke at a private function on his personal background in a home where, based on their values, they then opted for non-collaboration with this system, is ostracised. His father Cheeky Watson, opted to play in the black league, called Kwaru, as part of their struggle against injustice. This was in a time when blacks could never become Springboks and they therefore loathed this evil symbol of white supremacy. Luke, told his story of how he, when recently chosen for the Springbok team, had to transform himself from abhorring this symbol, because of its racist background, to accepting it, for the sake of the bigger picture- for the sake of those who died for a new dispensation. He was at pains to emphasise that this was an attempt at transforming himself. Yet he was vilified, charged and last week, threatened with his life, for stating, 'Your attitude needs to be one of hope, .... an era that had no hope, we have been given hope and we need to recreate and ?? the culture of hope for generations to come, we need to see the bigger picture and realise that the here and now is not just the here and now, but the here and now only exists of those who went before us and because of those who are still to come, there is a bigger picture, whether you like it or not - me having to wear the Springbok jersey, to keep myself from vomiting on it, because there is a bigger picture, because men and women have bled for me to get there…
Why the difference in this response? Because he dared say something negative about the Springbok. I wondered what this means. Mark Keohane, leading sportswriter and at one point media guy of the Springboks, reflected about this on his popular blog, in a post called, 'St Luke slays Loftus louts'. Keohane analysis is sharp on Watson's reception at Loftus, stating, ' The Loftus crowd, many of them believers of Christianity, misread the contest because effectively they were doing battle with one of their own, but whereas they lacked conviction in their application of resentment, Watson was committed to his stand of defiance. Watson, disgusted at wearing a jersey with a Springbok emblem on it, is not popular for saying so. He is even less popular for calling South African rugby a game run by Afrikaners, even though there has never been a disciplinary to confirm if he ever did utter the supposedly wicked word 'dutchmen'. (In the official transcript of his speech these words never appeared-acc)
Indeed, Keohane's analysis point to a commitment deeper then the Christian commitment, which is where Oom Tjol Lategan comes in. In an article, by Le Roux Schoeman he is quoted to have responded, taking the initiative (i.e. running with the ball), in a debate on the Springbok emblem. His response was simple: his Springbok blazer was more precious then money, it's not simply a trademark. This blazer with the Springbok on was a central part of his attire, as he goes to the Newlands rugby stadium, which he then call the 'rugby-church'. There we have it. At least for oom Tjol, rugby is more then just a game. The Springbok is more then simply an emblem or a trademark worth millions. For this grand personality of Springbok-rugby it's a religious symbol. No wonder then that a fellow Christian is crucified in public, for raising his struggle over the Springbok jersey, whilst another, is supported and defended in the face of the most damning of allegations. The point is he never challenged the holy Springbok. Maybe, oom Tjol indeed has helped the debate, to help us to see what is really going on here…

Sarojini takes on the Mighty Men
Sarojini Nadar, a theologian from a deeply evangelical background, are being roasted in some Afrikaans blogs (here, here and here ), by some of the followers of the Mighty Men Movement. They do it in support of 'oom Angus'. Why ? Because she dared to engage the kind of teaching that comes from the 'oom' (uncle)? No, there is another deeper reason behind it.
What Dr Nadar, a respected Biblical scholar, said, according to a report in the Burger, evidently touched a raw nerve amonst these guys. The Burger in a veiled effort to cast a shadow over her motives, links her paper, to another young Christian, Luke Watson, who is also vilified by the Afrikaans press for his views on the Springbok emblem. Nadar, also influenced by feminist theology, apparantly presented a critique of the theology behind the preaching of Buchan and suggested that it could lead to the kind of abuses of women, which is endemic of patriarchal theologies. She warned against the danger of these Mighty Men rallies, which could be a new version of 'Afrikaner male hegemony'.
Of course this version of her presentation, via the lenses of Le Roux Schoeman is an interpretation. But it does reveal where she touched the raw nerve and Schoeman's article is the source of the vile reaction. This reaction, in sense proves her point: whilst these men confess their (version of)Christianity, they tragically, remain deeply embedded in a violent culture, which a few dare to uproot. Language of might, of war, of power ('mag') and the crude display of this 'mag' is seen as inherent to the core of Christian, biblical male-ness. This version of male-ness is then justified by scripture and perpetuated in relationships of power, in spaces where it may still be exercised: the privacy of the home and, of course at 'Loftus'. Here anything goes. One can only hope that, for goodness sake, Buchan, will be able to respond to critique and honest engagement from fellow sisters and brothers. That his role will not be to provide another mask of a deadly virus, but a source of deep healing and hope, for all God's men, and women, for the sake of our families and communities.

Belhar and the church
The church belongs to God, not to the members. So, in a sense no-body can say… this is my or our church ! Belhar say: We believe in the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who gathers, protects and cares for the church through Word and Spirit.
The church of God should be one, i.e. not divided according to race. Race-based churches are simply not biblical. This reminds me of the Psalm 133, which states, Behold how good and how pleasant it is where brothers live together in unity.. because there God commands his blessing (v3);
That this church has been entrusted with the message of reconciliation, 'in and through Jesus Christ'. Belhar state, we believe …that any teaching which attempts to legitimate forced separation by appeal to the gospel, and is not prepared to venture on the road of obedience and reconciliation, but rather, out of prejudice, fear, selfishness and unbelief, denies in advance the reconciling power of the gospel, must be considered …false doctrine.
Yes, the gospel calls the church towards justice…that the church must therefore stand by people in any form of suffering and need, which implies, among other things, that the church must witness against and strive against any form of injustice
So, indeed the gospel calls all of us to make difficult, costly decisions, indeed a costly grace. The truth of the matter is however that we realize that this road also calls us to make these decisions, for the sake of the church of God.

Being a refugee church- good or bad neighbour?
The challenge of xenophobia and how we deal with refugees has not yet been dealt with. Maybe it would be a good starting point to accept refugees and migration as facts of life. For now, however another outburst looms as the now (in)famous Central Methodist is accused of harbouring 'illegals' and messing up our city centre. In another Radio 701 interview, caller after caller expressed their disgust at the stench, the squalor and the overcrowding at this (pretty mainline, non-emergent) church.
Yet, it remains a question, what is the Spirit telling us of this overcrowded refugee church. Of course, the pastor here, never goes to town about their fantastic growth or their fame. From what we hear it's simply a case of a dirty, messy and black African church, a refuge for the most vulnerable, arriving many times on foot, fleeing decay, disease, death. It is a church that is known to be open to acknowledge the reality of migration, of the vulnerable of the shocking face of how the powerful maintain their positions of power. For these poor people, this church is a sign of hope and as such, for the property developers, the business people around the church, a source of disturbance. I'm sure these neighbours would hope and pray for a quiet, middleclass faithful and possibly, they are doing everything in their power, to make it happen- so that this church can stop being a refugee church, and again be a 'normal' church, a good neighbour.

In God we trust- the gospel according to Zapiro?
I have been taken aback by Zapiro's recent cartoon on COPE. Obviously he wants to draw attention to his work and it helps to be controversial. After-all, all publicity is good and he often paint himself, as the ultimate example of satire, presenting his social critique on current affairs, in an open market. I have often been challenged by his cartoons and often defended it as another exhibition of freedom of speech. This one is however bordering on being blasphemous to the Christian faith.
In another recent incident, a group of Christians successfully stepped up pressure on University of Cape Town (UCT) to apologizes for material which were also offensive to Christians. One of the arguments they used was to state that, 'if it was Muslims. their would have been a worldwide uproar'. Why then should the Christian faith simply roll over and allow this to happen? I don't think this argument is helpful. Whilst people of faith share certain traits and values, Islam and Christianity, have different understandings of the relation between church (mosque) and state, (especially in a secular democracy, like the South African state). The Christian faith, in my view, are not immune to the critique of adherents of different faith stances, like Jonathan Zapiro, who is an self-confessed atheist. Also, Christian symbolism, need to be deconstructed as mere symbols, images of the ultimate realities we hold dear. More so, God is beyond the images of Christ, which we sometimes worship and may not be captured by our human constructions. Hence, we don't worship the cross or images of the cross. They remain metaphors pointing to a higher reality, who we serve and worship.
In my view, it is fine where Zapiro unmask COPE's supposed belief in Thabo Mbeki as their Messiah. It's however offensive and disrespectful, when he portrays Mbeki as Jesus Christ on the cross. Whilst Zapiro would want others to respect his atheistic stance, but also his respect for human rights, here he does not display any of these towards Christians. They don't have the same rights as he, and their faith certainly don't deserve the same decent respect. Here he betray the values that made him such an astute social commentator- values of freedom, equity and respect for difference.

unity in the church
How does the church deal with conflict, with tensions which threaten to tear us apart? Maybe it would be better to speak also of tensions, which has kept us apart. This is a critical question, not only for the church, but for our society as well. It seems as if the precarious notion of reconciliation is making way for new forms of apartheid, new inequalities, with current economic meltdown simply a mirror of reality. How does one overcome this deep tension and conflict?
In the book of Acts, one feels the tension seeping deep into the daily experience of the early church. Their journey, the ongoing prompting to cross boundaries, and deepen their understanding en experience of the faith in Jesus, is told by Luke as samples of how they grappled with this reality.
Acts 15, in particular, is all about the nature of the incorporation of the non-Jews in the early church, which had her roots in Judaism and more specifically their inclusion around the table of communion, even though they did not go through the Jewish ritual of circumcision? In the South African case, it was dealt with by creating separate tables, separate churches. What does Luke tell us on how they dealt with this matter?
- He rereads the history in the light of the current situation. One can almost say, that he re-members their own story and journey in terms of his immediate readers and the need of his readers. In this respect he might recall the voice of an influential leader, a hero of the people, an authoritative voice interpreting the tradition. Here history is not simply a reconstruction of the past, no, it is the foundation for decisions now;
- Luke recalls the importance of key documents and writings. Indeed, sacred documents like the text of the Bible and its interpretation, often becomes a site of struggle. In understanding Gods word for today, we however may not sidestep the tricky and risky exercise of interpreting and making choices. Sometimes we will have to state, 'Here I stand, so help me God' other times we will be more hesitant and mumble something or simply have to keep quiet. The sacred texts of our faith, will often be silent about what we face today, yet, maybe within those silences we may here God's spirit's whispers;
- There will be times of compromises, difficult trade-offs, where leaders have to take a step, where they've never been, or where the people would never dare to go. This is where faith and trust will guide beyond the well-known frameworks and certainties. These steps and decisions can be dangerous and can never be entered upon lightly and without a deep faith in the grace of God. It is a creative imaginative act of embodying anew something of God's presence in new situations. This is the times, where we might say, stuttering probing: 'the Holy Spirit and us decided….'
- There is another element, which flows out of the preceding: to guide organisations and people on this journey, calls for a particular kind of people, mature leaders, who are willing to bear the brunt, the pain (?) of leading. Often we see (verse 22,25-27, 36) leaders being asked to go and physically be with the people, to speak, spend time with, to embody the new community. Often this is a difficult presence, a presence which carries within itself the sacrifices, difficult decisions and compromises. This new community is not a static state of tranquillity other- verses 37-38, speaks also of a difficult separation of ways, of decisions to awkwardly accept difference, to carry, in one's own body, the scars of the cross.
Whilst the separation of tables, became the scar of apartheid amongst Christians, it might possibly also become the scar of hope towards a new kind of community

Just Falling Short in the Third
by Staff Writer / Buffalo SabresChris Drury chipped in his first goal of the season off a nice behind-the-back pass from line mate and former Boston University teammate, Mike Grier at 13:42 in the third period to tie the game 2-2.
But the Devils would not be denied, as Sergei Brylin redirected Brian Rafalski's shot from the point for the power-play and game-winning goal a minute later to give New Jersey the 3-2 victory at the Continental Airlines Arena.
''(Drury) tried to take the bull by the horns in the third period,'' said head coach Lindy Ruff following the game. ''He and Danny (Briere) both scored and it's the example you need from your key players.''
''There is not much you can do about (the game-winning goal),'' continued Ruff, whose penalty-kill unit was in almost perfect position on the play. ''It's a tough goal to swallow, but it's a tough goal to defend at the same time.''
Both Brylin and Rafalski finished the game with a goal and an assist.
''The first period, the really good opportunities we had, we missed the net with,'' said Ruff. ''When we got in sync in the third period, we saw what we could do again.''
After recording just 17 shots on goal against Washington on Wednesday night, Buffalo's offense again struggled in the first two periods, recording 11 shots.
The team peppered the Devils with 16 shots in the third.
''Obviously, you're not going to beat anybody in this league playing one period,'' stated Drury. ''We have to play a full 60 minutes or there are going to be a lot of nights like this.''
''As a whole, we got it going as a team (in the final period),'' said Ruff, who reunited the line of Jochen Hecht, Grier and Drury in the third. ''(The success in that period) had nothing to do with line combinations, but with execution and players playing the system.''
Former Sabre, Eric Rasmussen recorded his first goal of the season and the first of the game at 16:42 of the opening period.
Scott Gomez extended the Devils' lead to two with a hard slap shot from the left face-off circle that beat Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller on his glove side at 3:51 of the second.
Miller made 24 saves in the loss and will most likely be unable to tie Ed Belfour's record for rookie wins in October as the team closes out the month tomorrow.
Head coach Lindy Ruff stated earlier in the week that Martin Biron would likely see action in one of Buffalo's two games this weekend.
Belfour was 7-3-0 with Chicago during the opening month of play in the 1990-91 season and after starting each of Buffalo's games this season, Miller holds a record of 6-4-0.
Briere cut the New Jersey lead to one at 12:15 of the third. His centering pass intended for Dmitri Kalinin deflected off a skate past Devils' netminder Scott Clemmensen. The goal was Briere's team-leading eighth of the season.
Clemmensen made 25 saves for New Jersey after starting in place of injured goaltender Martin Brodeur.
Buffalo travels to Long Island, N.Y. tomorrow to face the New York Islanders at 7:00 PM in Nassau Coliseum.
Scoresheet | Super Stats | Faceoff Comp | Play By Play | Shift Chart
Period 1
No scoring in the first period. Ryan Miller made 12 saves in the period.
Period 2
0-1 (16:42): Eric Rasmussen pumps a shot into the net past Ryan Miller for the first goal of the game. The former Sabre was wide open just feet in front of the crease and had no trouble chipping in Grant Marshall's pass from behind the red line. Marshall and Alexander Mogilny record the assists.
Period 3
0-2 (3:51): Scott Gomez guns a shot over the glove of Ryan Miller in the top-left corner of the net. The goal was Gomez's second of the season. Sergei Brylin is credited with the only assist on the play.
1-2 (12:15): Daniel Briere attacks the net from the corner and attempts to center the puck to Dmitri Kalinin, but his pass deflects off a Devil's skate into the net for his seventh goal of the season. Buffalo has now scored a power-play goal in each of the team's last four games. Dmitri Kalinin registers his fourth goal of the season.
2-2 (13:42): Mike Grier feeds college teammate, Chris Drury with a behind-the-back pass for his first goal of the season. Grier and Teppo Numminen record the assists.
2-3 (14:37): Brian Rafalski snaps a shot from the point that is deflected past Ryan Miller by Sergei Brylin to give New Jersey the lead a minute later. Brylin now has two points in the game. Rafalski and Paul Martin get the helpers.

So that I can see what it looks like in the dark. Mine looks drastically different in the light, because in some places I only etched the skin, which is all but invisible if it isn't dark.
It's finished, I'll hold off on posting til tomorrow for suspense reasons
So that you can better see the details. The deeper you cut through the pumpkin, the brighter it glows. Much easier to judge if you're working on the pumpkin in the dark with a light inside than trying to estimate how it will glow based on how deep you've cut.
Edit: Beat me to it :P
common bison!! i've been waiting all day damn it! reveal it ffs!!
im liking the balphagore and fayde.
good job, you 2 gets my vote.
Wow disco! excellent job! a true artist! well enjoy your 100 bucks!
Psh guys, you're so noble There's lots of excellent ones. I still think you guys might win first. I really don't like mine, it looks icky. Doing it again I would make it a lot different, the pose and everything is off..
Modest, even in victory.... and you call US noble?
Noooooo >.<
Yours is amazing!
haha, I wish I had a pumpkin half as good as yours!
As good as that Fayde carving as.
I think GhostDragon's Maliken is still the lead...
As for the costume contest, you're getting my vote so far Disco, unless that SW
guy actually films himself throwing sand at people.
that maliken was really good, but i dont think it has any chance against fayde. Bison has both contests locked up
Ghostdragons are amazing, but did his dad carve them? Does that really count?
I think the fayde and the malphas and the nymphoria are quite beautiful too.
HoN: Expect less, Pay more!
Very nice Disco_Bison, very nice indeed. Carving in the dark definitely paid off for you - some excellent shading used
These are looking awesome.
Nice work Bison
(Good luck with the costume contest too)
And Malphas looks sweet!

Turner's currently homeless, and Broncos fans who learned about his story want to help, but the university is discouraging that generosity, because it could fall under an NCAA violation. Advertisement KTVB furnished the feature on Turner, describing his difficult life. His mother died of cancer when he was four, and he and his father weren't close. Turner was in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina, eventually ending up in California at a junior college, living with his girlfriend and her family before moving in with his uncle. Due to government housing regulations, Turner can't stay at his uncle's place, and he isn't going to Boise State for summer school until June 6. So, he's currently homeless.After Boise State fans heard about Turner's plight, they wanted to help him out. But the aid could fall under "impermissible benefits." Advertisement The Boise State compliance office had to send this memo to KTVB as a reminder:We need to make it clear to your viewers and Bronco fans that it is NOT permissible within NCAA rules for boosters of Boise State athletics to provide benefits to Mr. Turner. That would include money, loans, gifts, discounts, transportation costs, etc.While Mr. Turner's need is abundantly clear, it is not permissible for Boise State, the athletics department or supporters of the athletics department to assist Mr. Turner at this time. Once Mr. Turner arrives on campus for the start of the summer school program, he will be well taken care of—receiving full tuition, room and board, books, fees etc. In the meantime, the compliance office is exploring a potential waiver with the NCAA that would allow us to provide assistance prior to the start of summer school.There's no way the NCAA would deny Boise State's request to help out a homeless football player for a couple of weeks, right?

A short story about Nigel.
Friday 26th April 2013
The phone rang in the therapist's office. The mother on the other end outlined the problem – Nigel, her son, now aged 44 had been in care for nearly 8 years in a state of catatonic schizophrenia. Various drugs and electroconvulsive therapy had been tried with only moderate and always temporary success. Neurological assessments revealed nothing of significance. Nigel spent his days in a seemingly twilight world where there was minimal, if any, apparent interest in his surroundings. In short, Nigel appeared fully conscious yet totally unresponsive. "I think they have given up on him," his mother told the therapist, and knowing his reputation asked, "is there anything you can do?" "Oh yes!" Replied the Therapist. The trickiest part was getting the psychiatric care home to allow the therapist in. There are all sorts of rules about these things and territorial considerations, but with persistence and some wiley charms, the therapist was able to get the relevant forms signed. With minimal observation, Nigel's care routine became obvious. In the morning, the care staff would wash him, drain off the catheter bag, dress him, place him into his chair, feed him and then park him in front of the window or television for the morning. Periodically, they'd lift him and move him to prevent pressure sores. On Wednesdays, the weekly enema was given to prevent constipation. At lunchtime, the catheter bag was emptied and Nigel was fed and watered and after lunch was parked either in front of the television, or back in front of the window. The evening routine was similar and then he was put to bed. This was pretty much Nigel's life had been for the past 8 years. Now the care was mostly professional and was indeed very caring. He'd never developed a pressure sore, suffered unreasonable constipation or any other unreasonable physical health problem. Often, the staff would talk to him and read to him, but rarely was there even so much as a flicker of interest from Nigel. "I think he is lost to us," one member of staff voiced to the Therapist, "what are you going to do?" she asked. "I'll show you tomorrow," the Therapist replied, "I'll show you tomorrow." The following morning the Therapist was in early, before the more dependent residents had been gotten out of bed. He brought freshly made doughnuts from the 24 hour supermarket and made all the staff tea and coffee and waited to be called. "Just let me know when you have Nigel out of bed," he told them. Forty minutes later, Nigel was out of bed and the Therapist waited patiently as the staff spoon fed Nigel who ate disinterestedly. When he had finished eating, the Therapist indicated to the nurses, "He's mine, give him to me!" He demanded and as he took over control of the wheelchair leaned down and whispered into Nigel's ear, "Just play along with me, I'm getting paid a fortune for this," and wheeled him up along the corridor. Reaching the small cleaners cupboard, the Therapist took out all the mops, brooms, dust pans – took out everything – and found to his delight that the cupboard was just about big enough to fit one man and a wheelchair into it. "Shhh! Just play along with me!" he said quietly as he shut the door, locking it after he did so. It was at this juncture that the staff went nuts! What did this therapist think he was doing? Did he not know how unprofessional this was? What if something happened to him in there? "Look!" the Therapist explained. "That man is catatonic, he hasn't moved in nearly 8 years and he is locked safely in a small empty cupboard. What on earth is going to happen to him? And besides, he's safer in there than out here – haven't you noticed, this place is full of crazy people?!" The staff were clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation and put up quite a protest. All this was occurring outside the cupboard where Nigel resided. This was part of the Therapist's plan. Nigel might be unresponsive, but there certainly was nothing wrong with his ears. "He stays in the cupboard!" The therapist ordered, showing the staff the written authority that had been granted to him for the unconventional intervention. The staff went away unhappy. The Therapist did notice later that day that the doughnuts brought earlier remained uneaten. At lunchtime, the therapist unlocked the cupboard and wheeled Nigel back to the care staff that ministered to him in the usual fashion. After lunch, Nigel was wheeled back into the cupboard with the passing whisper, "Look, let's see if we can string out this all week, it's a really cushy number!" and the Therapist once again locked the door. That evening Nigel was handed back to the care staff and the therapist went home. He was back in early again the next morning and when he took command of Nigel in his wheelchair, Nigel did something – he looked at the Therapist, and it was a look that communicated something. Precisely what that something was no one was sure, but the care staff saw it too. "He seems angry," said one of the nurses. At around 8am, with Nigel fed and watered, the Therapist wheeled him along the corridor to the cupboard. As he did so, he said in a jovial manner into one of Nigel's ears, "Thanks ever so much for this – I really do appreciate it," and placed him back into the cupboard and locked it. By 1030am that very same morning, that cupboard door was off its hinges and a very angry looking Nigel was found standing in the corridor screaming, "cocksuckingmotherfuckingcuntingshitcuntbastard!" And as if to complete the image, he actually had spittle flying from his mouth and drool on his chin. It certainly as if Nigel was awake and he was looking more responsive than yesterday. Yet, this behaviour appeared to unsettle the staff more than when he was locked in the cupboard. So, the first thing that they did? They sedated him. |

An update
Friday 22nd March 2013
I've not had too much free time recently to make any decent blog postings, so, sorry for that. So instead, a quick vanity update to promote current projects. 1. I'm helping out at the National Theatre with an upcoming production. My involvement is actually quite small, but it is very exciting none-the-less. Not sure if I am allowed to tell you who or what but if i can, I'll post details later on. 2. Big things are happening with the Metaphors of Movement project - as well as overseas training courses, I'm putting together "The Movement" - this is a massive undertaking and I'm seeking assistance with this. In particular I need designers/artists who are able to donate some time to help with with the lodge design. Details: http://metaphorsofmovement.co.uk/the-movement/ 3. I'm filming for another huge project that is a development on Metaphors in My Attic, which focusses on healing and physical disease. This is mighty and will be priced at £499 when it is finally finished, which in theory, should be later this year. I'm seeking more volunteers with physical illnesses who are happy to be filmed for this project. 4. The Identity Project with Lucas Derks - if you don't know Lucas, then you really, really ought to. This man is without a doubt a genuine genius, but he is too humble to admit it. Buy his book, "Social Panoramas" and pay attention to his research. Anyway, we have filmed for an online program about identity and therapy. Thids will be ready by the end of the summer, we hope. 5. A research project on adolescent deliberate self harm. I aim to have this submitted for peer review by the middle of next year and will be doing this through a UK university. |

What to charge...
Thursday 14th February 2013
A very common theme in the hypnotherapy and complementary therapy world is that of "charging as much as you can" and "the higher you charge, the more you will be respected." Something I have encountered a lot is, "if it is important to the client then they will pay anyway." I'm not so sure about this, and I personally wonder if this reflects the elevated egos of so many private therapists. The reality is that many people with problems simply do not have the money and so to insist that they pay a high fee will only add to their burdens and not necessarily help them in a positive way. The other issue of a high fee is that it acts as a very good filter by excluding those people at the really shit-end of life and instead works to select in those who have a significant disposable income to spend on a luxury as hypnotherapy. Therapists do like their YARVIS clients the most (Young, Attractive, Rich, Verbal, Intelligent and Sane) and the really screwed up ones who are without money, have poor articulation and poor personal hygiene are definitely to be avoided. It's easy to claim a high success rate when one's clients don't really have many major problems in living and all they have are cosmetic problems. But then we all want to earn a good living and have the dream life that they told us about on our training course. Or more importantly, the dream life they told us about to get us on their training course in the first place. Well, what did you expect? What do therapists do when they don't get enough clients…they run training courses in how to get clients! So here's a simple guideline for knowing how much to charge: do you feel bad, guilty or awkward with the amount of money you charge? Are you scared of "being found out"? That is the clue - you are charging too much. For years I have suffered the problem of ego maniacs and general dipshits in the NLP world telling me to put up my prices. Well, where are those people now? Most of them are either in enormous debt or have gone back to their day jobs. Really. But their websites are all still online displaying the ridiculous prices they pretended to be charging when in fact they never got any clients at all. How do I know this? I do a credit check on these people. The internet is a grave yard of websites that preach success but actually were never successful in the first place, and this gives the illusion that people are all earning loads of money and we are the ones who are not doing so well. I have copies of the financial records of a good number of trainers and therapists and it doesn't make very good reading at all. Despite it all, I still don't understand how it is possible to rack up a six figure debt by being a hypnotherapist, but it isn't uncommon. Something I did several years back which was quite successful was to offer two prices - £25 (students, low wage) and £95 (waged) - I always let people decide for themselves which price they paid. People coming via my websites hardly ever selected the cheaper option. The local social services such as community housing, probation office, crisis centres and so forth did provide me with a steady stream of £25 clients which kept me very busy indeed and helped me to build the extensive professional network that i have today. Years back, I also did "Free Fridays" where I'd offer one or two sessions for free on Friday - anyone could book those sessions, regardless of income. Again, people were good about that, the waged ones would mention that they deliberately weren't asking for a free session. And the ones who did book the free sessions? Well, most of them were either late, didn't show up, or were moaners who always wanted more, more more and nothing was ever good enough. So I stopped the free Fridays. Anyway ,just some random thought, hope this helps, |

Still can't give it away.
Friday 18th January 2013
In a week where I have so far failed to find a new training venue, I've had quite an interesting time. At the beginning of the week, I was consulting with the BBC for a documentary that they planning on making. I do this kind of thing a lot, I am hoping that eventually I will be able to move from a behind-the-scenes-advisor role into a more "on the screen and paid loads of money" role. This one looks more promising than most, so I look forward to seeing what comes from it. I've also excitedly agreed to continue on a research project with a major university in the treatment of phantom limb pain and related issues. I had a day in London teaching a corporate group on Thursday. On the way into London I got a message that London Victoria station had been evacuated due to a fire. The Great British Public are always awesome in such situations, and despite the inevitable problems of masses of people trying to get into London in the rush hour with a main station temporarily closed, the spirit of co-operation and patience was admirable. I just wish people didn't sniff, cough and splutter quite so much on crowded trains and that there was someone serving tea. But there wasn't, the train was just far too crowded, as always. This morning whilst taking the dog out to play in the snow and feed the seagulls to try and get some interesting photos of them in the snow (photos here) we were approached by a lady who had found an injured Black Headed Gull in the field. The poor thing was nearly frozen to death and once again the Great British public leapt into action with Operation Gull Rescue. The heavy snow meant that the usual people we call out for such events (living by the sea, we find them not too infrequently) would be unlikely to make it, so they organised with a local vet who said they'd take it, which is where we took it to. No objections, no dramas, just a load of kindness. I'm still trying to give away over £20,000 of business to a training venue or conference facility. It seems that this week, no one is replying to their emails, or answering their 'phones. |

Surely, nothing could go wrong.AdvertisementProxToMe, thankfully, only allows you to send your file to others who have downloaded the app, so whatever happens, you'll be bringing this upon yourself. But even if someone has the app, you'll still only be able to see them if they're within a 250-foot radius. After all, sending a dick pic to a stranger just isn't the same if you can't watch firsthand as that tiny part of them dies forever. Adding to the fun, you'll also be able to see everyone's name and Facebook account. Because what's there to lose at this point.In the app's defense, you do have to accept file transfers before they can be downloaded to your phone. But curiosity is a powerful drug, and should you decide to open a file only to find yourself staring into the exposed genitals of the person next to you, you're free to block them entirely! You will then, of course, remain potentially trapped within a cheek-stroke's reach for an indeterminate length time.AdvertisementThe app could also be used as it's intended, I suppose: to give bands and artists ways to share their work with the masses at shows and exhibits. But it probably won't. If you're feeling daring or self-loathing, you can get ProxToMe free from the App Store starting today. [Mashable]

When Pope Benedict XVI creates 22 new cardinals next month, he will use a revised and simplified version of the ceremony to avoid any impression that becoming a cardinal is a sacrament.
"The creation of new cardinals had to be inserted into a context of prayer, while at the same time avoiding anything that could give rise to the idea of a 'cardinalatial Sacrament,'" the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff said Jan. 10.
"Historically speaking, in fact, consistories have never been considered as a liturgical rite but as a meeting of the Pope with cardinals as part of the governance of the Church."
The chief modification to the ceremony that will take place in Rome on Feb. 18 is that three phases will now be combined into one: the imposition of the biretta, the consignment of the ring and the assignation of each cardinal's new title.
The Office of Liturgical Celebrations explained that prior to reforms instituted by Pope Paul VI in 1969, the imposition of the red hat took place during a public consistory while the ring and title were conferred in a secret consistory that took place later.
However, now that the distinction between the public and secret consistory no longer exists, it was deemed "coherent" to being the three phases together into a single rite.
The proclamation of Sacred Scripture will also take a shorter form, with a single Gospel reading – Mark 10:32-45 – but no first reading.
Finally, the collect and concluding prayers will also be those originally approved by Pope Paul VI in 1969.
Next month's consistory will be the fourth of Pope Benedict's pontificate. Of the 22 cardinals being created, two of them hail from the United States: Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York and Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, the Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. Now based in Rome, he was the Archbishop of Baltimore until August 2011. Also being installed as a cardinal is Archbishop Thomas Collins of Toronto.
Despite the changes to the installation ceremony that will take place on the Saturday, the Pope will still celebrate Mass with the new cardinals on Sunday, in keeping with tradition.

getName returns the string you use to login because that is what is returned by the method in CUserIdentity, if you want it to return something different then you should override the method in your UserIdentity class. getIsGuest should only return true if the state of __id is null. You could post your methods so we can see what you are doing or you could check out the http://code.google.c...i-skeleton-app/ to see how authentication is managed employing DB

New GTA4 Details from Official PlayStation Magazine Italy
Posted by adamcs at 17:35. Category: General
The latest issue of the Italian OPM contains an 8-page Grand Theft Auto IV preview with some new artwork and a few tidbits of info.
- During the demo, Niko was seen approaching a bus stop. When he reached it, an icon appeared on-screen that enabled him to control the bus schedule. Is it possible to use the bus service similar to how you can with trains?
- When Niko pulls out a weapon, the camera positions itself above his shoulder, and a view-finder appears at the centre of the screen. It's possible to lock a target and move laterally to avoid incoming shots.
- Stealing a car can no longer be done simply by opening the door and driving off. Now it involves Niko approaching the car sneakily, breaking the glass with his elbow, using the injection cables to start the car, and only then can he use it.
- Niko can freely climb wherever possible (telephone poles, fire escapes etc.)
- Philip Glass, the author of the Grand Theft Auto 4 trailer music, will be involved in the production of GTA IV's soundtrack.
- The graphical improvements are clearly evident when walking over a grating on the sidewalk. You can see what is underneath it, and the light trickles realistically around the iron bars.
