Trade & Industry Development magazine named General Motors as a recipient of their 12th annual CiCi Award for Community Impact. GM was selected out of hundreds of project submissions from all across the US. This is the second year in a row GM has been recognized by Trade & Industry Development for economic development activity. In 2016, the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green received a CiCi Award for Corporate Investment for the $439 invested for facility upgrades and expansion plans in 2015.
Trade & Industry Development's CiCi Awards are unique in that, in addition to commemorating the largest capital investments for development or expansion announced within a designated year, they equally recognize projects for the positive, often transformational, impact they will have on a community, regardless of the amount of money invested by the corporation.
"It's impossible to overstate how much we value our excellent and mutually beneficial relationship with the community. We do here what General Motors does everywhere it operates, and that's provide good quality jobs in manufacturing, one of the most important sources of economic growth and prosperity," said Kai Spande, GM's Bowling Green Assembly plant manager. "An investment like this is not a short-term project. It demonstrates GM's long-term commitment to the community of Bowling Green and to the Commonwealth of Kentucky."
GM holds the title for largest capital investment project in Kentucky in 2016 ($290 million), following 2015's $439 million investment as the second largest capital investment project in the state. Over the last five years, GM has invested nearly $1 billion in South Central Kentucky.
"Bowling Green has been the exclusive manufacturer of the Chevrolet Corvette since 1981 and with more than 1.6 million cars produced since 1954, Corvette is the world's longest-running, continuously produced passenger car," said Chamber President & CEO Ron Bunch. "Over the last 36 years, GM has provided jobs to thousands of people in our community, surrounding area and beyond. Thank you to GM and to Trade & Industry Development for recognizing the impact the Corvette Assembly Plant has on our community."
In addition to GM's 2016 expansion investment, the project will create 270 jobs over the next few years. According to latest reports, GM employs more than 1,000 people. It is the second largest automotive-related manufacturing employer in the 10-county South Central Kentucky region.
"Bowling Green is known for many things, but none as notable as being home to the Corvette," said Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Wilkerson. "GM's Corvette Assembly Plant has a bright future in our community. Their investment in the facility is a demonstration in their faith in Bowling Green. We look forward to many years of continued success."
"Not only does GM provide jobs to hundreds of our people, but the assembly plant brings thousands of sports car enthusiasts from all around the world to our community. Together with the National Corvette Museum and the Motorsports Park, car enthusiasts and tourists alike flock to our community, stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants and shop in our stores," said Warren County Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon. "Thank you to Trade & Industry Development for recognizing GM for their extraordinary impact on our community."
For more information about the 12th Annual CiCi Awards visit www.tradeandindustrydev.com.So far in 2017, the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce has announced a total of $86.73 million in capital investment and 283 new jobs. In 2016, the Chamber announced 15 economic development projects, 703 new jobs and a total capital investment of $463 million – the second largest investment year for South Central Kentucky in the last decade. Warren County finished 2016 with the first and ninth largest economic development announcements in Kentucky.

A prayer blanket is one that is handmade while praying for the person who will receive it.
The beautiful thing about a prayer blanket is that it means so much to me when I am making it. It is an opportunity to pray for a little one sometimes before they even leave the warmth and protection of their mama's womb. Praying for a precious gift of life and the parents who will love and treasure their child is an honor for me. Seeing pictures on Facebook of babies with their blankets as well as toddlers snuggling them makes my heart soar.
Recently I had the privilege of making a blanket a brave 5 year old who lost her eye to cancer. She is the most beautiful child. What strength I see in her face as she smiles through her circumstances. What a testament to living through even the most difficult situations.
Prayers matter. Their power is in the connection between the one who is praying and the one being prayed for. It brings Christ's love for us and our love for each other to the center of our relationship. My heart overflows with the knowledge that these simple prayers and the soft snuggles that are made connect me in a small way to families with little ones.
I am humbled by Christ's love and His heart to have us be in each other's lives.
Crocheting these blankets is my pleasure.
Relationships with others through Him is my reward.
John 13:34-35 (NCV)
34 "I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. 35 All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other."
In Him,

I want to include a custom .aspx page with code behind in sharepoint 2010. This aspx page is supposed to take data
from custom list and generate an xml. So the output is xml. Our site is an internet facing site and it is anonymous
access. Some swf files are using this aspx page to get dynamic data from list in xml format. When flash is trying
to get xml from this page sharepoint first redirects to login page.
I need help from you guys, since I am new in sharepoint I got really struck here.
Thanks in advance,
Jiju Alex.
How cna i use my custom aspx page as New and Edit Form for a List Template. Please give me some example.
We are finding that the second list using a field name from the first list that is defaulted does not take the field entry but uses the default when the record is created. The First list field does take the change and populate the record. We
need the second list to accept the field change in creating a new record.
In Sharepoint 2010 I have a Custom List with a column of the type 'Person or Group'.
I would like to have a default name for this 'Person or group' column.
So when a user creates a new list entry and leves the 'Person or Group' column value blank the list entry should be created with the default value für the 'Person or Group' column.
Is there a way to schieve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Roberto Rocco.

"There's a little more pace in this song than people will be used to hearing from us...safe to say that's something that's stuck across this new record. We cannot wait to show everyone what we've been cooking up."

Check out the video in the player below, courtesy of New Noise Magazine. Singer Jamie Graham had this to say about the song and video:
"'Psychophant is a play on words for 'Sycophant'- someone who just lives leeching off others, but taken to a psychotic level. We asked (Scott) Kennedy to jump on the track after we all toured together back in early 2013. It's one of the heavier, simpler songs on the album and follows the night of a total prick who gets everything coming to him! Everyone knows someone like this and it begs the question of how happy you are with your own life. We love playing this one live!'"
Next on Heart of a Coward's agenda is extensive touring. Currently announced dates are available after the jump. More...

Leah Weinberg is the founder and one-woman-show behind Color Pop Events, an event company that caters to the fun, the bold, and the colorful. Her styling talents and thoughtful planning make her events memorable and magical, but when your work happens behind-the-scenes, it's hard to explain just how you bring a party to life!
So when Leah came to us about making a promotional video, we wanted to find a way to show how dreamy her work really is. Enter Spike: Leah's exceptionally adorable Boston Terrier and mascot of ColorPop Events. With the help of Juli Vaughn, Josh Chudnovsky, and 501 Union, Leah's video takes a step into Spike's animated universe, as he dreams about the colorful wedding events that Leah creates.
The animation process was just as fun as our live shoot. Emily went straight to work, crafting paper bouquets, polaroids, veils, bow ties, and of course, paper Spike. But when it came time for Spike's dream world to burst with color, paper Spike seemed a bit more excited than the real guy. Sorry Spike -- still friends?

Airfares may go up on govt plans to raise airport charges by 10%
Latest News »
New Delhi: Airfares may soon go up as the government has decided to increase airport charges by about 10% across the country. The new charges, which will become applicable from this month, are over and above the Rs8,500 cess per flight slapped on most domestic flights to fund the civil aviation ministry's ambitious regional connectivity scheme Udan.
"The increase is about 10% across the board," said a person with knowledge of the matter who did not want to be named.
The charges will apply to all aircraft in the country, besides airlines. They include route navigation, landing and parking charges, according to a 24 November circular from the Airports Authority of India, issued with approval from the civil aviation ministry and reviewed by Mint.
Airport charges make for about 7-10% of an airline's costs, which could mean an increase of about 1-1.5% in airline costs due to the latest charges, said a second person aware of the matter who also did not speak on record.
"This increase will be a disaster for the industry," the second person said.
Foreign airlines will also have to shell out more money for flying over India. Because of its geographic location, India gets a substantial amount of revenue in overflying rights and in foreign currency. All flights going from South East Asia to the Middle East and Europe and back typically overfly India.
Besides airport charges, airport development fee—or the money spent in building and maintaining the facility—has also been increased at four airports, including the one at Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency. The fee at Varanasi airport has been increased from Rs150 to Rs165 for domestic passengers and from Rs975 to Rs1,073 for international passengers.
In Punjab's Amritsar, airport development fee goes up from Rs150 to Rs165 for domestic passengers and from Rs910 to Rs1,001 for international passengers.
Charges at Tiruchirapalli and Udaipur have also been increased effective from December
The first person quoted above said at least at some of the major airports, charges have been allowed to remain very high despite orders by the regulator, Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India, to reduce the burden on passengers.
Ironically, these increases come at a time when the civil aviation ministry is pushing its regional aviation policy Udan, asking states to take cuts in their charges.

Former northern police chief Cmdr. (ret.) Alik Ron followed in the footsteps of former IDF chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Dan Halutz on Sunday when he joined Kadima en route to an expected run for the Knesset.Like Halutz, Ron faced an investigation that deemed him a failure. The Orr Commission that looked into the response to Arab rioting in the North in October 2000 recommended that Ron no longer be allowed to hold a command or administrative position in public security.

BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A recently published study of claims data from a German health plan suggests an association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and dementia in the elderly.
"We appreciate and respect the data in the study, but believe more research is needed to understand the impact of PPIs on cognitive function, especially since studies of this type do not control for diet or lifestyle factors, nor do they establish causation," commented Kenneth R. DeVault, MD, FACG, who serves as President of the American College of Gastroenterology.
What Does this Study Mean for Patients on PPIs?
In light of this study, along with other recent studies suggesting potential complications with long-term PPI use, the College urges patients to discuss the use of PPIs and any other medication with their healthcare provider.
"It is important for patients to follow package instructions on over-the-counter PPIs. If a patient has been treated for a long period of time, they should talk to their health care provider before stopping or changing the dose of these medications," added Dr. DeVault. Those with serious esophageal disorders should consult with a gastroenterologist before stopping the medication or changing the dose.
Association, but not Causation
The study authors note that this analysis of administrative data from a health plan in Germany can only provide a statistical association between PPI prescription and occurrence of dementia and does not prove that PPIs cause dementia. They recognize that in order to evaluate the cause-and-effect relationships in the elderly, more research in the form of randomized, prospective clinical trials is needed.
Confounding Factors – What Else Could be Happening in these Patients?
Because the claims data used in the current study lack detailed sociodemographic data, such as diet, lifestyle and education, the researchers could not integrate these important factors into the analysis.
Researchers identified several confounding factors which were significantly associated with increased dementia risk including depression and stroke. Diabetes and taking five or more prescription drugs other than the PPI (known as "polypharmacy") were also associated with significantly elevated dementia risk. In the analysis, polypharmacy elevated the risk for occurrence of dementia by about 16 percent.
In an editorial in JAMA February 15, 2016 that accompanied the German study, Dr. Lewis H. Kuller from the University of Pittsburgh, writes that "…older patients often take many drugs, and the number of drugs taken may be a function of the extent of disease and comorbidities." According to Dr. Kuller's editorial, "determinants of both the disease and the factors related to the use of PPIs may also be related to the risk of dementia." Additionally, other factors such as level of education may confound the results. He notes a very strong inverse association of risk of dementia and education and suggests the possibility that differences in distribution of education for gastrointestinal acid diseases and use of PPIs may account for the association of PPI use and risk of dementia.

Cumberland Farms' is appealing the Bourne Planning Board decision to conditionally approve the convenience chain's store and fuel-pumps project at the Bourne rotary but block patrons from re-entering the heavily traveled circle. The appeal may be costly for the town.
Cumberland famously battled the town in court for nearly a decade to win approval for its Main Street store in Buzzards Bay at the foot of St. Margaret's Street.
It was not until a concerted effort was made by Bourne planners, Town Counsel Robert Troy and Cumberland attorneys that a resolution was reached and construction proceeded.
This latest appeal is different. It is to the Massachusetts Land Court. Cumberland Farms takes issue with the planning decision that would force patrons to exit its store via MacArthur Boulevard rather than the Bourne rotary, even while neighboring American Lobster Mart customers would be allowed back into the traffic-choked circle.
Cumberland Farms in its appeal says the decision is "arbitrary and capricious" and devoid of findings to support the rotary re-entry condition in the vote of approval.
Cumberland Farms says its customers reaching the Cape would have to travel east on the boulevard to a median crossover, which also services the Bourne landfill, in order to head west back to the rotary and Sandwich Road toward Sagamore and the Route 6 on-ramp.
Bourne planners, however, argue the rotary – more often than not – is overloaded in peak season and that adding more vehicles directly to it would cause gridlock and more accidents.
No court date has been set. Bourne Town Administrator Thomas Guerino said the town's legal affairs budget for next year is adequately funded, should the latest appeal be prolonged in court.

Christ College Bangalore
Christ College which is also known as Christ University was established in 1969, by the fathers of Carmelites of Mary Immaculate. The college is now managed by CMI. The said trust runs around 30 colleges, 400 schools and few hospitals in various cities of India. The Christ College was given status of deemed university in late 2008. The college is situated over huge area of 25 acres which is in turn part of the Dharmaram College campus comprising 100 acres. The college is located at the heart of Bangalore city.
Few programme offering by college
The college offers various under graduate and post graduate programmes which have been recognized nationally and internationally. Some faculties in which such programmes offered are as follows: Business Administration, Management, Law, Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences and Commerce. Additionally, it also offers other professional courses in few fields like Hotel Management, Computer Application, Mass Communication, Engineering, Tourism, Social work and Business Management.
The college has been recognized by University Grant Commission. One thing that should be noted here is that, it was one of the first very few colleges, which volunteered for assessment and was accredited by NAAC. The university was re-accredited in 2005. It is also the first college in Karnataka to get accredited by NAAC for quality education. Currently college has highest "A+" rating by NAAC for overall quality and has also been recognized as college with potential for excellence.
After all its world record!
The Christ College also has one world records registered on its name. In early 2011, college students achieved the largest human beatbox ensemble in which 1246 participants were involved.Before this record was achieved, college students tried to make similar record for Limca book; results of which are eagerly awaited by the college students.

I was born on 13th of February, day before the Valentines Day. But I was not named and/or any name that cling with the occasion. In fact I have very peculiar name but it's ok, this is how my parents wanted it to be and I realized it's not how modern your name is but how you are as a person per se.
Thanks to all who greeted me happy birthday and wishes the best for me. I may be mean or unpleasant to some but for those who knows me, such as my family, relatives and friends would depict at least few good words towards me.
I was not born with a gold teaspoon in my mouth and with my persistence, I almost spent my life abroad to sustain the needs of family. I am lucky for having a very loving and God fearing parents and siblings thou trials has always tested our faith otherwise. I maybe financially stable at press time but never came up to my mind to ignore the obligations I believe meant to me just to be selfish. My priority is always my family's safety & security, and that makes me neither more stronger and braver in times that I am too down and depressed.
For a family who is at the category of "nakakaraos lang (barely surviving)" is very hard to surpass or level up to economy of today if to compare with a well built house constructed with primera clase used materials which is not always victorious with constant calamities that hit it. Repair is always an entry of debit or loss with no Return of Investment. Before I will cry always, I will question why it has to happened for good people but I've learned we have to face reality and just count the blessings instead. After all, that is how being successful to me is, as the saying goes…
"Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them"
"If you learn something from a defeat it isn`t a loss"….
Thank you Lord for another year that is full of blessings and helps from You.
May strong resilience be always my vengeance enable me to rise, rebound, bounce and float from all misfortune, hardships and traumas.
Happy birthday also to the following:
Ai, ate Baby, Randy, Nol, ate Eden, my brod Elly, Russel, niece Weng, cousin Edwin, Nympha, my Ninong Samuel and to everyone who is celebrating their birthday in the month of love.
Of course to my late friend Arnel.

Ekphrasis in Apollonius: Jason's Cloak
Jason, the hero of Apollonius of Rhodes' Hellenistic epic the Argonautica, may surprise the first-time reader with his failures of resolve and fits of depression. He is repeatedly described as améchanos, which in his case means he simply does not know what to do. This apparently unheroic attribute is thrown into high relief by the fact that the same word was used of Achilles and Hector in the Iliad with a diametrically opposed meaning, something like "irresistible" or "undefeatable." [1] Just as the Marvel comic superheroes of the sixties appealed to their audience by being more vulnerable than the old-style Superman and Batman, this new sort of compromised protagonist seemed appropriate in the belated Alexandrian world. Yet the poet never abandons the grand old encyclopedic reach of epic, and there are moments when Apollonius strives to present an orderly symbolic pattern that ambitiously aims at representing everything.
Perhaps the most dramatic compressed example of such an image is Jason's marvelous cloak. Jason pauses at Lemnos on his way to capture the Golden Fleece. Invited to an audience with the local queen Hypsipyle (and unaware that the island's women have slaughtered all the males), Jason dons his grandest cloak, a magnificent garment covered with embroidered scenes described in an ekphrasis of nearly fifty lines. [2] The seven scenes ornamenting the garment, which outshone the rising sun (725) include a variety of mythological scenes. Such a work of art resembles the symbolic ambitions of a coat of arms or a Baroque title page and tends toward encyclopedic images like mandalas, magic diagrams, or a bank of stained glass windows in a Gothic cathedral. Parallels include the Shield of Achilles in the Iliad (or the pseudo-Hesiodic "Shield of Heracles"), the similarly shining cloak the incognito Odysseus wore, or, in a different medium, the song of Orpheus that follows in Apollonius.
Critics have read the cloak as an overture-like anticipation of the themes of the epic, but epic itself seeks to be all-inclusive, so its themes tend to epitomize all themes. The ekphrasis is neatly tied to the specifics of the poem in its end, but its center is surely an attempt to symbolically capture the most significant terms of human reality as though in a miraculously wide-angle lens.
The first scene, of the Cyclopes forging Zeus thunderbolts, provides an image of technical expertise heightened by its setting in the divine realm. Just as the Argonautica itself is a work of art, the production of metal, clearly an astonishing transformation to early peoples witnessed by the role of gods like Hephaistos and Egyptian Ptah, the Germanic Wayland, the Yoruba Ogun, and others. [3] The poet thus associates his own art with this heavenly production.
The marvel of the cloak is represented by its luminescence, a characteristic on prominent display in this representation of the spurting flames and shining lights of the god's thunderbolts. The brilliance of the work parallels the dazzling images of poetry and reinforces the identity of humans as art-producing, symbol-making creatures. The human connection becomes more explicit with the following image, the construction of Thebes by the sons of Antiope, Amphion and Zethus, who lived as humans in spite of their divine parentage. [4] The garment, a tour de force of embroidery, serves as an example of the development of the technical skills, including art and poetry, that distinguish human beings. These initial scenes portray technical skill in the service of the divine, serving the ends of fate, one might say.
The next panel of the cloak portrays Aphrodite with the shield of Ares, neatly combining the strongest instinctual passions of sex and violence, eros and aggression. In an ingeniously clever image, the lovely goddess' tunic is said to have slipped below her breast and, the poet reports, her body was reflected in the shield. (746) Thus the primary psychic preoccupations of our species (and, to a large extent, the rest of the animal kingdom) are reflected in a single compressed code, adding these elemental drives to the construction of culture implied in the first two pictures.
The violent portion of this complementary pair is then foregrounded in the picture of the defeat of the herdsmen sons of Elektryon by their relatives, the Taphian raiders. This incident, like most mythic episodes, only a single term in a lengthy and interwoven series of events extending backward and forward in time, emphasizes the role of brute force in the world. The scene is also linked to the present narrative through Elektryon's descent from Perseus whose myth parallels that of Theseus in many details.
The following image again emphasizes the complementarity of love and aggression in a representation of Pelops' winning of Hippodamia through his victory in a chariot race with Oenomaus, her father, who had killed the eighteen earlier suitors who had proved slower. Without tracing the many links backward and forward to Tantalus, Perseus, Agamemnon, and others, it is sufficient here to note the preeminence of eros and Todestrieb.
A new element enters with the sixth image, that of Apollo shooting at Tityos as he attempts to abduct Leto. Here is the inverse of the dutiful Titans of the first image, as the giant impiously seeks to dispossess Apollo of his love object. Once more, love and aggression are impossibly intertwined, the complementary dynamos that motivate action, yet here it is Tityos' impiety, his deviation from the Olympian script, that causes Apollo to act.
The final image refastens the chain of pictures to the current tale. Phrixos is yet another babe threatened by a hostile maternal figure. While his double falls to his death, Phrixos is protected by an established city on the margin of the known world. His sons in fact join the crew of the Argo after being rescued. His fleece is the object of the quest.
The whole series, then, defines humanity as artists and technologists, motivated by powerful forces of love and death, suspended between divine and human realms, constantly threatened by untamable forces, making a way forward in life like the hero Jason who is undertaking an all-nut-impossible task. The generic images of human passions are clearly linked to the main plot line in a myriad of ways. Yet the plot of the Argonautica, the endlessly branching related myths, and the images, and the stories depicted on Jason's cloak, all these do not provide conclusions as much as they suggest bipolar oppositions that organize the tensions and problems of human experience.
1. See Iliad, XIII, 726 and XVI, 29. The Homeric heroes do, of course, have their moments of confusion, hesitation and despondence. The difference is a matter of degree.
3. These include the the Vedic Tvastarpre-Islamic Qaynan, the Sumerian Gibil, the Hungarian Hadúr, the Finnish Ilmarinen, the Gallo-Roman Gobannos, the Slavic Svarog, and the Celtic Creidhne, Goibniu, and Gofannon.
4. Of these two, the first is associated with art, poetry, and music, and the second with hunting and livestock raising, though both are described as participating in the building of Thebes' walls and both are sufficiently human to die.
5. See Daniel Odgen's Perseus for a catalogue of similarities.

Every Reader's Blake
This is the seventh of a series of essays meant to introduce (or re-introduce) non-scholarly readers to the work of important poets. In this series I limit my focus to the discussion of only three or four of each writer's best-known works while providing a bit of context and biography, eschewing most byways and all footnotes.
Though every poet is one of a kind, William Blake is more dramatically singular than most. Though he owed little debt to the literary fashions of his day and enjoyed scant readership during his lifetime, Blake developed a mystical style of writing and graphic art that has become immensely influential. His grand prophetic books can be bewildering. Anecdotes from him and his contemporaries indicate that he kept people guessing even in his own time.
Perhaps the most convenient entry to Blake's work is through his political convictions. Though hardly a systematic or pragmatic activist, Blake was possessed with prophetic rage like that of ancients like Amos when he evaluated the contemporary scene. In 1802 Blake drove off a drunken soldier from his garden in Felpham. The trespasser then accused him of high treason, claiming that he had cursed the king and declared all soldiers to be slaves. As it happens, British democracy had advanced just far enough that a jury of twelve acquitted the poet. Blake's lyric from the preface to Milton: A Poem beginning "And did those feet in ancient times" denounces the manufacturers' "dark Satanic mills" and looks forward to a new Jerusalem in "England's green and pleasant land." The verse, set to music at the time of WWI, has become one of the country's most popular patriotic songs, particularly popular at Labour Party events.
In the brief four stanzas of "London" Blake raises some of the most significant social questions of the era of the Industrial Revolution.
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackning Church appalls,
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls.
But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.
The use of the word "charter'd" in the first stanza, though its precise meaning is not altogether certain, clearly criticizes capitalist private property which has parceled out resources which properly belong to all. The fundamental source of oppression is thus identified at the outset. The ruling class has assigned rights and privileges over both land and water, producing inequity, alienation, and pain, evident in the "marks of woe" evident in the citizens' faces. I have often reflected on this line when boarding a New York City subway late at night. I fancy the stricken urban faces have not changed in two hundred years. Though the ultimate aim of the ruling class is wealth, for Blake the most oppressive chains are "mind-forg'd," internalized habits of thought that render the slave compliant.
The third stanza identifies two of his principal complaints: the rapacious exploitation of workers, in particular such lowly workers as the chimney sweeps, whose suffering cries are ignored by established religion. The churches, their own walls blackening with pollution, ignore their own teachings as they ignore the complaints of the humblest among them, the very people with whom Christ would have stood. Likewise soldiers, willing to die for their country, are merely cannon fodder to the indifferent ruling class, sheltered behind palace walls far from any battlefield.
To Blake the most horrifying aspect of the social order must be the perversion of love. The woe he feels "most," exciting his most heart-felt protest, arises with the transformation of love itself into a commodity. With the Industrial Revolution favoring the cultivation of wool for sale rather than food for consumption and the enclosure laws that facilitated the change, many rural families found themselves in urban areas with no means of support, leading to a dramatic increase in prostitution. Apart from Blake's implication of venereal disease ("blights with plagues"), to him a husband who would purchase sex can hardly be a true lover, and thus his marriage is also a funeral. Blake considered the very institution of marriage to be fatally linked to power relations and restraint of the divine energy of desire, though he himself was an apparently monogamous and happily married man whose wife took an active role in his creative endeavors. Alexander Gilchrist described coming to call and finding Blake and his wife naked in a small summer house reading Paradise Lost aloud. "Come in," cried Blake, "It's only Adam and Eve, you know."
He claimed to have visionary experiences beginning when God looked in his window when he was only four. Angels and prophets appeared to him in the sky or in trees, and he eventually developed a highly personal and complex mythology. Apparently to him, as to some other mystics, a deep gaze into anything may reveal the divine. The world provided an endless field every object in which is an aspect of god in myriad disguises.
In what is perhaps his most well-known poem, "The Tyger," Blake insists that the imagery of Christ as a lamb represents only one side of god. For him, as for Hindus, every benevolent deity has a malevolent or frightening figure to balance. Ultimate Reality is beyond good and evil and must contain both. In Blake's theory of contraries, there can be no privilege to the more agreeable vision; it is inevitably accompanied by its terrifying transformation.
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
The deeper implication of the poem is the ultimate identity of opposites, the explosion of dualism in what is called in one tradition Advaitism. If, as the hymn of another tradition says "In Christ there is no east and west, in him no north and south," then there is likewise no temporal/divine, mind/body, life/death, or other dualities. The enlightened view is monistic.
The very title of his "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" suggests the identity or interdependence of opposites. In it the devil expounds the "error" that body and soul are distinct. Yet it is also a devil whom he witnesses writing the profound words: "How do you know but ev'ry Bird that cuts the airy way,/ is an immense World of Delight, clos'd by your senses five?" and the following are among what he calls "the proverbs of Hell."
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
The cut worm forgives the plough.
Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
Prisons are built with stones of Law, brothels with bricks of Religion.
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
One thought fills immensity.
Exuberance is Beauty.
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.
He sounds like a Zen master when he advises "Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night."
The reader to whom such sayings make Blake a didactic poet, will, at the same time, find him avoiding reductive themes, often through the use of paradox and ambiguity. In "The Sick Rose" the rose's virtue and the worm's malignity seem clear at first glance, but to many the poem's implications remain elusive.
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
Rather than prescribe a single reading of this brief poem, I shall indicate some of the directions which a reading might take. The likeliest initial interpretation would see the rose as a lovely and wholly admirable thing whose love, his "bed of crimson joy" is destroyed by a monster, malicious invisible flying worm. This approach is not only consistent with general poetic usages of rose (beautiful, desirable) and worm (associated with death and decay) but also might well be supported with parallel passages from other Blakean texts.
On the other hand, it is the rose that is described at the outset as "sick," while the worm has "love," albeit a dark and secret variety. Might it be that the worm is as wholesome as a medicinal leech and that the "crimson joy," sensational as it sounds, might arise from a bed of dysfunction? Some have read the final lines "And his dark secret love/ Does thy life destroy" to mean, not that the worm destroys the rose, but rather that the worm's love is destroyed by the rose's life. The fact is that, while Bromion's assault on Oothoon in Visions of the Daughters of Albion is analogous to the worm's on the rose, in the Book of Thel the title character is told "Then if thou art the food of worms, O virgin of the skies, How great thy use, how great thy blessing." Her reluctance seems there to be a sign of inhibition and limitation.
The illustration Blake made for "The Sick Rose" also complicates the interpretation. What can the viewer make of the fact that the artist depicts no storm at all, but a clear and sunny day? While the upper flowers seem to be wilting, the one associated with the worm is healthy-looking. Do these details suggest that the persona of the poem has an inaccurate subjective view?
Such underdetermined signification, far from indicating the author's confusion, is characteristic of the aesthetic text. The role of the paradoxical and mysterious is foregrounded in William Blake, whose visionary insights often challenged and contradicted received ideas. A poet who celebrated the joy of the creation, he no less embraced the tumultuous and stressful, aiming to place his ultimate focus beyond good and evil. A prescient critic of the already failing feudal system and of the nascent capitalism replacing it, of the institutional church which seemed to him to veer sharply from Christ's teaching, he was perhaps most profoundly a critic of everyday perception. Another line in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" notes "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." Human senses may block perception as well as permit it. Blake was ambitious enough to construct in his art, both verbal and visual, new objects for mental contemplation designed to extend human vision and to bring others in the direction of enlightenment.

Blind Willie Johnson Preaches
Gospel is Old English for good news, and the predominant message of much gospel music is indeed joy at an unquestioned salvation. The worshipper delights in every breath, since the future ultimately holds a sure deliverance. This theme and the ecstatic mood it may produce are prominent in the recordings of Blind Willie Johnson. Johnson's bottleneck slide guitar work and growly intense vocals owe much to the blues, but many of his songs are nonetheless celebratory and optimistic. His vision includes, however, the suffering Christ no less than the risen Lord, and he offers the inspiration of Jesus' model to believers who may have much to endure in their own lives. Sometimes, Johnson's songs, whether traditional or original, reach further yet, to suggest an ultimate reality beyond joy and suffering, no less certain for being bound in mystery.
While the blues are largely concerned with pain, loneliness, and frustration, Johnson sings of his "joy and gladness in "Praise God I'm Satisfied." Death is welcomed in the almost rollicking easy tones of "Bye And Bye I'm Goin' To See The King": "And I don't mind dying, I'm a child of God." A variety of ingenious figures of speech reinforce the point. In "It's Nobody's Fault But Mine" Christ appears as a benevolent bail bondsman, freeing the captive soul. "God don't never change" offers the delightful image of the singer so consumed in divine worship that he can direct even a mountain to "skip around like a lamb." The magical efficacy of Christ's blood is affirmed in "I Know His Blood Can Make Me Whole." [1] Sin and damnation play very little role in Johnson's ministry, though in "If It Had Not Been For Jesus" the singer notes that Christ "washed my black heart white" without further details.
Among the other songs with similar emphasis are "Let your light shine on me" with its claim that luminous "angels in heaven, done write my name," "Trouble Will Soon Be Over," "He's my Bosom Friend," "Sweeter as the Years Go By," "Go With Me To That Land," and "Church I'm Fully Saved Today."
Pain and suffering, however, receive their due. The very heart of the Christian myth with its deity mysteriously combining divine and human natures emphasizes Jesus' passion on the cross, the strongest available image of anguished torture. The believer's own difficulties are given meaning while at the same time appearing less than his Lord's. One may safely assume that Johnson's African-American listeners had sufficient troubles of their own to identify readily with Christ.
Most profound of Johnson's songs on this theme is doubtless "Dark was the night." Johnson takes his opening line from a pre-existing hymn, then follows with a series of equally powerful images. I am reminded of Crashaw by "his sweat like drops of blood ran down." These drops are mysteriously present in the Garden to which the sinner is directed. Ultimately the song teaches the imitation of Christ: "Learn of him the cross to bear." "Jesus Make Up my Dying Bed" is an imaginative tour de force in which Christ is the singer's spouse and the suffering of worshipper and worshipped are conflated.
Contemporary afflictions appear: the Titanic disaster in "God Moves On The Water" and WWI and Spanish flu in "Jesus Is Coming Soon." Probably the most powerful metaphor for suffering, one appearing multiple times in both sacred and secular lyrics is the separation from God as loss of a loving parent in "Mother's Children Have A Hard Time" and "Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying."
Thus Johnson's lyrics, like the Psalms, chart the high and low of experience. There is a numinous glow, however, about Johnson's religious vision, a sheen of mystery imponderable until the Apocalypse which has little to do with good and evil or pain and pleasure. I think, for instance, of the gloriously minimal miracle of "The Rain Don't Fall On Me," the understated imagery of "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning," and the open-mouthed wonder of "The Soul Of A Man." The culmination of this nearly occult aspect of the poet's religious experience is surely the haunting "John the Revelator" which invokes the most spectacularly mystifying book of the Bible repeatedly as though its very mention is a magic charm. The song is made of this hypnotic iteration along with a few enigmatic symbols ("Judea's Lion") and an account of a theophany to Moses. This song is anticipated by the mention in "I'm Gonna Run To The City Of Refuge" of the "dragon hurled down by the preacher" with its specific scriptural reference.
Though a musical artist is hardly a theologian, gospel singers have always been inspired and motivated not only by their faith, but also by the approaches that have proven successful in appealing to an audience whose critical judgment is not suspended even in church. Willie Johnson's oeuvre emphasizes the joy and confidence of salvation, with a darker shadow acknowledging suffering, then ornamented with a bit of mystery and magic. His message reached not only the streets and storefront churches, but into Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, and new versions of his songs by Reverend Gary Davis, folk revival figures like Buffy Sainte-Marie, Fairport Convention, and Peter, Paul and Mary, as well as rockers like Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin.

FBI. Texas Rangers. The mere mention of these agencies inspires awe, not to mention about a thousand fawning films, books and t.v. series. Wednesday's Wall St. Journal opinion page has a different take (The FBI's Boston File, 04/24/13). The FBI was warned by its Russian counterpart that the Tsarnaev Brothers were Chechen terrorists, let one of them leave on a false passport for six months to Chechnya, let him return, didn't question, follow or wiretap him.
A few years ago in Boston, the FBI not only failed to arrest James Whitey Bulger, it actively conspired with him to murder witnesses and informants. The top two agents in the Boston office took bribes, and padded their resumes with arrests of Italian mafiosa that Bulger ratted out. The higher ups at headquarters knew and condoned it, all for the higher good of going after the Italian mafia. Of course, only a few years earlier, under Ms. Hoover, they denied there was such a thing as the mafia, while Hoover gambled on the ponies with the godfathers.

il Campo, at top of our list of things-to-do in Siena was to climb the tower of the Palazzo Comunale, the Torre del Mangia (so named after its original, apparently very hungry, bell-ringer, mangiaguadagni).
Torre del Mangia was completed in 1297, is 102m high and has 503 steps, of which we enjoyed every single one.
ISO800 after taking some photos inside the darkness of the tower interior, and didn't realise my mistake until making my way back down. Of course it probably hasn't made any real difference to the photos, but every now and then you do wonder why you don't just leave the thing on full-auto.
Museo Civico. Luckily for you, the long suffering reader, they don't allow photography inside the museum. It certainly was a nice spot to visit, with many interesting frescoes including the famous Allegories of Good and Bad Government, which gave an amusingly extreme representation of their differing outcomes.
Next we visited the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta), which was originally started in 1196 but which had a number of aborted attempts at expanding it over the years. Most of these expansions were abandoned due to the lack of structural integrity of the Duomo, but the final nail in their coffin was the black plague in 1348, which wiped out a large portion of the Sienese population. Nevertheless the Duomo is a very impressive structure in black and white marble.
Libreria Piccolomini, which actually got our attention more than the duomo itself (because, you know, if you've seen one church you've seen them all). In the library, which was commissioned by Francesco Piccolmini (who was pope for all of 10 days), you can see frescos depicting the life of Francesco's uncle and his books, which were illustrated in amazing detail.
After all this it was pretty much time to go, so we checked our supplies of panforte and jumped on Rapido bus back to Florence, whereupon we immediately got stuck in a traffic jam on the Autostrada. We still had many things we wanted to see in Siena, which was fine since we will be back in July for il Palio!

Having a little writers block with your blog topic ideas? We're helping you get back on track with these 4 ways to generate topic ideas.
Regular blogging has lots of benefits for your WordPress site.
B2C companies that post 16+ blogs a month receive 4.5 times the amount of traffic as companies that upload less than four. However, keeping your site consistently updated with new content can be challenging.
Maybe you've covered all the obvious areas, and aren't sure which direction to move in next. Or maybe you feel like you've written about absolutely everything in your niche.
Don't panic.
Everybody struggles to find new topic ideas occasionally, and there are plenty of ways to get inspired again. Read on for details of four techniques that will help you generate tons of new topic ideas for your site.
Get ready to write!
1. Use keyword research tools.
Making a list of the keywords you're currently targeting, as well as the terms you'd like to target is a great place to start.
Type your keywords into a search engine and look at the suggested autocomplete results, noting down any that could be turned into blog posts.
For example, you might enter the keyword 'holidays' and see 'holidays with toddlers' as a suggestion.
This could inspire several different blog posts:
- Tips for Long Haul Flights with Toddlers
- Best All-Inclusive Resorts for Families with Toddlers
- Ten Thing to Do With Your Toddler on the Beach
If you don't have many keywords on your list yet, try entering those that you do have into free keyword planning tools. You'll be able to get inspired by top related terms, most popular sites, and search volume for different queries.
2. Browse question and answer sites.
The aim of a good blog post is to solve the reader's problem.
And where can you find lots of real life problems? Question and answer sites and online communities, of course.
Spend some time on sites like Quora, Yahoo! Answers and Reddit, searching for your keyword and browsing in relevant categories. You'll likely find some niche ideas that never would have occurred to you organically. For example, a search for 'vegan' on Reddit might yield lots of questions about eating gluten-free while being vegan.
This opens up a whole new world of gluten-free and vegan posts on your site – recipes, tips, lists, and more.
3. Check out your competition for topic ideas.
There's nothing wrong with getting some inspiration from your competitors, as long as you don't copy them directly.
Look out for:
- Posts that have high engagement
- Posts that have been shared widely on social media
- Posts that you could expand upon
- Posts that have been featured
If you see content that hasn't performed well, ask yourself whether you could improve it to get different results.
4. Use the skyscraper technique.
New topic ideas don't always have to be 100% original.
Simply going into greater depth on an existing topic is a wonderful idea. The skyscraper technique involves finding a topic that's already been covered and then doing it better. Maybe you've seen a great article called '10 Things to Do in Paris'.
Instead of trying to find a whole new spin on the topic, you could write a post titled '100 Things to Do in Paris'.
You don't need to reinvent the wheel to create great content. Struggling to find new topic ideas for your WordPress site?
Try these tips and you'll soon be overflowing with inspiration – get ready to use that scheduling tool.

25 Mar 2013 Why you should say no
When you say yes to others make sure you are not saying no to yourself.
~ Paulo Coelho
Yes is positive and easy. It feels good to say. But it's over-rated. You can't always say yes. When you're over-committed and stressed you'll feel tense and run-down. Always leaving yourself for last can make you resentful.
Saying no is uncomfortable. What if they don't like you any more? Are you letting them down? Hurting their feelings? Who wants to be seen as selfish or rude, get into conflict, burn bridges or miss an opportunity…
But good things can happen when you say no:
- You're more likely to stay healthy and sane. Saying no can be a path to stress relief. And when you look after yourself you can help others more. Just like putting the oxygen mask on yourself before helping others.
- You won't let yourself and your existing obligations down. You'll be more dependable if you only say yes when you have the time and ability to do something.
- You'll save some time to get involved in things that are important to you. A little time spare doesn't automatically mean you should commit to the first thing crossing your path.
- People will respect you more when you respect yourself and have boundaries. Those who always say yes just to be liked are often recognised as pushovers.
- You give others an opportunity to step up. They might not do things the way you would, but the job will still get done.
To decide whether you say yes or no focus on what is important to you, prioritise. Most importantly, take guilt out of the equation. Then weigh up the 'yes-to-stress' ratio – don't say yes if it means months of added stress.
It'll feel awkward at first, but you'll soon find a balance. Spell out no (don't leave it open to interpretation like 'I'm not sure'). Repeat if necessary. Be brief and honest, but respectful to those who asked you – because asking isn't easy either.

Remember how I am working part time at our church? Well, a couple weeks ago, I was tasked with calling and ordering Vinny's pizza and wings for about 30 people for an event. I had never eaten at Vinny's, so I called and asked for whatever the worker recommended as far as amount and variety. But instead of just picking for me, this sweet girl described (in detail) each sauce and topping combination. Now, at the time, I was in the middle of a strict Paleo challenge. So I was salivating and loosing my patience.... Wishing she would stop the torture and just choose for me already!! Ever since that phone call, I planned to try Vinny's as soon as the challenge ended.
So Saturday night was our night. I finally feel like a Sierra Vista resident now that I tried out this landmark. And it didn't disappoint! But on a not-so-happy, but honest, note... I woke up 3 times in the middle of the night with heart racing and headache. I think my gut (and therefore my brain) weren't quite ready for Vinny's! Haha But it was still a great night. Date night is always a great night.
And as my Grandaddy says when he is full, "I shall never eat again! ...Until dessert..." :)

Delusional and dumb Louise Mensch tweets: "#JewsArePeople and they are the sexiest people too"
Jews are the most sex-obsessed people (and the kinkier the better, as far as they are concerned), but they are physically and spiritually about the least sexy beings imaginable.
The solipsistic conceit and racist bigotry of Jews is mindscrambling. And they never never learn. As the world grows justly more pissed with them, they just dig in deeper and become more intolerable.
There is, at most, one place proper to them. It is the human right of all non-Jewish people to live in homelands free of the presence, the influence, the very sight, of unapologetic Jew-supremacist Jews. It is Jewish supremacy which is The Real Racism, and the real threat to global prosperity and peace.
The Jews need to be sent home, where they can be out of sight and out of mind. And if they ever grow any sense, they'll cease to fret themselves over what we are doing– because what we do is none of their goddamned meddling business.

Helpers of B.C. disabled to stage 1-day strike
About 3,400 workers who help adults and children with disabilities will stage a one-day strike across B.C. Wednesday to press demands for higher wages.
Patsy Harmston of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union says starting wages are $15 an hour, a dollar less than 10 years ago, resulting in many of the workers having trouble making ends meet.
The BCGEU also says more than 40 per cent of the workers have been forced to cut services to their clients because of budget cuts.
Patsy Harmston, who heads the union's bargaining committee, says the non-profits they work for can't retain people because the workers' wages are so low.
"They have two or more jobs. We have even heard of members having to visit food banks because they can't support their families on these wages," Harmston said.
The 24-hour job action will affect the Richmond-based Developmental Disabilities Association and the Burnaby-based PosAbilities, the two largest community social service agencies in B.C.
Agencies in Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Kamloops, Vanderhoof, Trail, Salmon Arm, Castlegar, Creston and Cranbrook will also be picketed.
The union says it wants to send a clear message to the B.C. government to stop putting the squeeze on programs and staff that help people with disabilities.
