I comprehend the problem arrises from one entity getting rewinded back in time to get a correction, even though other entities continue to be at the most recent time.
My issue is that it's hard for me to complete lag compensation nicely since Once i just take the delay of the packet, or the typical spherical excursion time And that i consider to figure out the number of frames that's, it's generally a tad in consistent. I'm getting a tricky time figuring out a great way to find out what number of frames aged a packet is.
It can be an optimization. I would emphasis in the beginning on acquiring every little thing Functioning in the simplest way doable.
It might be wonderful to recognize that limitation of the consumer enter replay process. That it creates a Consumer SIDE only collision area of the movement in the final seconds. The one Remedy currently being that every entity exists in the same time stream in The full scene which is not useful.
I'm guessing you have some float or int which you're utilizing to depend time over the client plus the server every single body. When either sends a packet it stamps it using this time.
This post has actually been incredibly valuable in my idea of networked physics, and has served me establish a game engine that supports a number of entities that follow your principals of point out synchronisation.
Plainly the magic to this system is figuring out your goal time effectively. If you are able to do that, it really can make This method do lots of magic…… It gets rid of the need to have globe states saved on servers and using packets and pushing them back in time and re-simulating…. ideal?.. I hope so
Brilliant articles or blog posts you bought in your blog site – really fantastic, Particularly looking at the only a few and low quality content articles there are around on multiplayer online psychic readings match programming and architecture.
yes, you will get another outcome on Every equipment. In order for you a similar end result you'll want to stage forward with the exact same timesteps on Every machine.
This really is as well difficult to discuss in a responses part. How you choose to accomplish time synchronization is incredibly recreation dependent. FPS games do a time stream per-player, eg. Every single participant controlled object is a little away from stage with each other and vs. server owned non-predicted objects which stage forward uniformly. When you have a physics simulation with a lot of interacting objects then you have to have to ensure that all gamers phase together at the same time, So the consumer provides inputs for the server in advance on the server simulating that body, which is rather complicated.
"when that enter would make a spherical trip into the server and again for the consumer that the shopper's character begins shifting ahead regionally"
The regular technique To achieve this is usually to retailer a circular buffer of saved moves over the customer in which Every shift while in the buffer corresponds to an input rpc call despatched in the shopper on the server:
Yet another factor to think about is definitely the remote view in the car, eg. a third machine neither server nor managing consumer
Not always. In this case I'm just seeking to clarify a network product in which the client sends inputs into the server, and the sport runs about the server and just broadcasts out game state towards the clients for interpolation and rendering, eg. common customer/server with no client aspect code.

|With the NG tube came the tape on the face. We got lots of stares from people
|This was when we were hospitalized and her friends came to visit her
Although she wouldn't drink from the bottle we did feed her solids when she turned six months. She didn't eat as much as one might expect of a child her age but we continued to try three times a day. In the month of May she underwent surgery to have a G Tube placed in her belly. This was so much nicer then having to worry about pulling the tube out of her nose. It wasn't a fun process to put it back in her nose when it got pulled out by a mistake.
|No tube in her belly
|Tube in her belly
In the month of July she had a swallow study done and we found out she was aspirating(going into her lungs) and this meant she could no longer take anything orally. This was a very sad day for us because it was the one thing that we did that other parents did. I could share in the talk about making baby food and all the new things I could try and in a flash it was taken away. We are not giving up on this we are hoping for another swallow study in the New Year since the day she had hers done she had 9 seizures and that could have made a huge difference in results.
|Her Auntie Debbie wrote this on the board in her hospital room
At the end of July she went to have her G Tube replaced with a MicKey button which was supposed to be a day surgery and make life very easy. Well as life would have it it didn't go as planned.
|Button in the wrong spot
|Ready for surgery
They brought her out of surgery, taught us how to use it and were going to send us home. Tyler and I didn't feel comfortable going home without trying to feed her and it was a good thing. We tried to feed her a small amount through the button and she was hysterical. Little did we know they put the button in the wrong spot and she had to go for a second surgery that day to get a G Tube put back in and be hospitalized for three days to watch for infection and to make sure she could tolerate her feeds again. Thank goodness for our Dietitian Sheri she worked with us to make sure we didn't waste time increasing her feeds and we were home by lunch on the third day. There are times that I don't know how we would make it if we didn't have her to keep us sane!
We had to wait another three months for surgery again to try for the button. This time we made sure the surgeon was doing the surgery and not the resident which he did and everything went smoothly. We were home by lunch and she was on full feeds of formula within 24 hours.
So now that you know the history of Addison being tub fed you ask well what is life like with at "Tubie"
What we do in the run of a day
- Addison has partially digested formula right now to try to help with reflux that has to be made every morning and mixed with water and salt.
- Feed Addison between 7 and 8 am. For every feeding you need a flush with 20 mls of water, a syringe for feeding, a venting tube(to let air out of her belly), and a feeding tube that has been pre filled with water so air doesn't go into her belly.
- Feed her and keep her very still for at least 20 minutes so she doesn't vomit(sometimes this helps sometimes it doesn't)
- After feeding the tubes need to be cleaned with soapy water and rinsed and the guide lines after that are different depending on who you talk too which can be very frustrating.
- Give her medications(through syringe so we have to crush two of them and mix with water) and this requires another tube pre-filled with water
- After you keep her still after that she needs to be cleaned up for the day. We get a bowl of warm soapy water. Take a q-tip and clean around the button, dry the area and then put on one of her button beauties made by the wonderful Christie Beck whom I met through an online support group of families with children who suffered HIE at birth. These pads replace the gauze that you put around the button or g tube. Before we found the Button Beauties we would be replacing the gauze multiple times a day because it would fall out or get to puffy. These wonderful creation have made life with a tubie much easier and also fun! I love picking out her daily button beautie!
- We feed her 4 times a day 3 ounces at a time and then at 930 she goes on the pump until 4 am. Tyler and I take turns in the middle of the night getting up to un hook the pump, flush her tube, put the bag in the fridge(we washed it for the first 6 months until we found out if you put it in fridge in a ziploc it could be washed in the morning). So we never sleep through the night even when Addison does.
- At all times when someone is holding Addison we are hoping that they are not going to hold her the wrong way and make the button fall out. It could happen it is held in with a balloon which is filled with water that we have to check every week to make sure it isn't loosing water. We haven't got to this yet but every three months we have to take the button out and put a new one in they compare it to changing an earring I think it might be a tad different!
So the next time your child dumps their plate of supper on the floor, pick it all up, give it to them and tell them to do it again for Addi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|Our button beauties!
|I love all the patterns she has to choose from
|This is my favorite because on snowy days like today it reminds me of summer

I went down to Sydney to see the Paths to Abstraction exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This consisted of "140-plus works by some of the most influential artists of the modern era, including Whistler, Cézanne, Monet, Seurat, Vuillard, Bonnard, Gauguin, Matisse, Derain, Picasso, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Klee, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Hans Arp and Sophie Taüber-Arp" http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/paths-abstraction/. It was exciting to see such a collection of well-known artists work.
I went down for the weekend. On the Sunday I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art and the S.H. Ervin Gallery. Primavera was showing at the MCA which is an exhibition of artists under the age of 35 years.
The exhibition at the S. H. Ervin Gallery was of Australian women artists. "Slow Burn- A century of Australian women artists from a private collection. Slow Burn traces the history of women artists in Australia and the development of a remarkable private collection over a 15 year period. The evolution of the collection was guided by the late art dealer, Eva Breuer. This exhibition presents ninety three Australian women artists ranging from the delicate pastels of Janet Cumbrae Stewart to the modernist prints of Margaret Preston through to the bio-techno sculptures of Patricia Piccinini. The works in the exhibition demonstrate the skill and versatility of women artists over the past hundred years."

On Wednesday, October 22, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced the 104 groups of scientists that won funding in Round 1 of the Grand Challenges Explorations. Winners came from from 22 countries and five continents and received $100,000 to research their innovating medical ideas.
Some of the winners include:
- Pattamaporn Kittayapong of Mahidol University in Thailand will study how Wolbachia, a symbiotic bacteria that infects many species of insects, may limit dengue virus infection in mosquitoes.
- Leonard Damelin with South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases will investigate whether anti-HIV molecules can be introduced into Lactobacillus bacteria populations typically found in the cervix and vagina of healthy women. Lactobacillus has already been found to provide a natural barrier against HIV, and Damelin hopes that his project will further fortify this protection.
- Canadian Scientist Volker Gerdts of Canada's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization wants to use viral vectors to immunize babies prior to birth.
- Nikita Malavia, recently awarded a doctorate in chemical and biochemical engineering, has teamed up with MIT's Robert Langer to engineer nanoparticles that mimic host cells. It is hoped that these "decoys" will trick viruses into releasing their genetic material, which then is destroyed by the decoy.
- Alexandre Alcais of the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research will explore why a substantial portion of people exposed to tuberculosis never become infected with the disease. Using full genome scans, Alcais will study whether there is a genetic basis for innate resistance to TB infection.
If the grants show promise, the Foundation will offer a secondary, two-year grant of $1 million to continue the research. Grant winners must agree that if their research results in breakthroughs, the results will be made available at affordable prices so that they can benefit the developing world.
Read more about the process after the innovative application process after the jump.
The Gates Foundation has decided to forego some of the more standard application processes (like peer review) because it believes some of those processes stifle innovation. Instead of asking for proven results before applying for funding, the Foundation asks instead for an outline of a hypothesis and a way of testing it. The application process is simply a two-page form. The proposals were evaluated by entrpreneurs rather than people simply with medical expertise.

RECARSON Primary School has received a financial boost to promote its outdoor learning space.
The Arvalee-based school was awarded £9,450 from the Big Lottery Funding through its 'Awards For All' application 'Let's Get Growing Project'.
The school is currently undergoing a £475,000 renovation project to create two new classrooms and enhance the building infrastructure. Work is also underway to extend the school hall to a larger, more usable space for indoor PE and after school clubs.
Work is progressing well with the Primary 5 and Primary 7 year groups already in their new classroom, while the multipurpose room is currently being fitted out for use as an ICT suite/library. All work should be completed this month.
This extra boost of £9,450 will help the school start their new gardening project developing outdoor education, ensuring maximum use of the new facilities, while implicitly developing life-long skills.
The money will also be used to purchase new iPads for the school which will be a most welcome resource.
The school's principal Orla Meenagh said, "Through collaboration with a local gardener and play facilitator, we will integrate practical learning with understanding biodiversity and creative play opportunities for the children and their parents; encouraging them to develop a holistic approach to exploring new experiential learning possibilities. Through this project, grandparents, parents and carers, volunteers and children will have the opportunity to develop a love of being outdoors that will have a lifelong impact.
"The understanding of nature and seasons, nurturing of plants, bulbs and seed, breathing healthy air and embedding the fun and enjoyment that comes out of embracing the outdoors is very important. This will boost emotional health and well-being of everyone involved."

We always think we need to name everything. Our cars have their own names, like our gold Tundra truck is called Golda and my last red Prelude was named Roseee. So naturally, our new abode in
Desert Aire is known by Pelican Reache.
When we first came here, I saw my first pelican floating by our beach, and that set me on my lifetime quest for pelicans. One day, we got in our new, to us, boat, that is named Mariah, because that is actually the brand name, and we went with it. I have already blogged some shots I have taken of pelicans, but we did go after a group of pelicans on our Priest Rapids Lake, and got some more shots.
Well, the big group of them are back at Horn Rapids Dam where the Yakima River is diverted for irrigation, and also where the Pelis hang out for fish migration season. We just love to look at them, admiring their uniqueness and they are much larger than we imagined!
But, I didn't really start this blog to talk about Pelicans, but I did want to write about what else we do here.
There are three groups of residents here at Desert Aire:
1. Is the Boaters, and Waterbabies. That is what we are. We live on the edge of the Columbia River or, as close to the PUD land as possible.
2. The Golfers, whose backyards are next to the golf course. They ride around in shiny, new golf carts, and of course, go to the "Club", and golf.
3. Are the Airport people. They have hangars, where they keep their airplanes, and are backed by the airstrip, our little airport.
So, when my coastal friends ask me what do I do out here all day, I am dedicating this blog to them.
If we want to go shopping, or to a mall, we drive 40 or so miles to the Tri Cities.
We are also close to Ellensburg, where we go to Central Washington University's musicals, or their community theater. Yakima has a wonderful symphony orchestra (YSO).
We are exactly halfway between Spokane and Seattle, so if I need my Swedish doctors, I can get there. Our Mattawa Community Medical Clinic, which had doctors and a pharmacy are 5 miles away, so we are set!
That is what most mothers tell their children when they are hanging out, saying they are bored.
That is what I tell my friends that wonder what we can do all day, now that we are retired in Desert Aire. Desert Aire is a resort community on the Columbia River. I have been here for two years, and have found many activities and new friends our age. There is the Bible Study group, the Garden club, and the Book Club. We do read books that are on lists for such clubs, and I just finished one I liked so much called the Lady Bug Farm, that I ordered the next one in the series. We do have a new book scheduled, which I will begin next week.
One of the books was The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, was especially interesting, however most of the club ladies were gone for the winter, and the rest hadn't finished it. It took a lot of perseverance to read that book, because of going back to several time eras.

To detect traces of alien life, try to find their footsteps. The first signs of life on another planet may not be a complex signal captured by an antenna or images of a scampering creature on an alien horizon, but a track left in long-dried mud.
On Earth, palaeontologists study traces left behind when an organism interacts with its environment. A team led by Andrea Baucon at the University of Modena, Italy, suggests that astrobiologists should follow suit and search not just for living and fossilised creatures, but also the traces they may have left behind.
"You have a heck of a lot more chance of finding the trace of an organism than you do the actual organism itself," says Lisa Buckley, a palaeontologist at Peace Region Palaeontology
Research Centre in British Columbia, Canada. "One animal will leave countless traces in its lifetime, but it's only ever going to leave one body fossil."

Ipperwash Park: Filmmaker raising money to finish film about Sam George's struggle for an inquiry
SAM'S STORY Film maker Monica Virtue is seen here with Sam George, Dudley's brother. Virtue interviewed Sam over a period of six years and sat through many hours of the Ipperwash Inquiry into Dudley's death at the hands of the OPP. Virtue is raising money to finance the post production of the project. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Even before Monica Virtue went to film school, she knew she wanted to make a documentary about Ipperwash Park.
As a child, the London woman spend summer's just 10 minutes away from Army Camp Road and the federal training center which members of the Stoney Point First Nation began occupying in 1993. The land, along with Ipperwash Provincial Park, had been surrendered to the federal government by the First Nation in the 1920s.
While the occupation made headlines, it wasn't until Dudley George and a group of First Nations men went into Ipperwash Provincial Park that the situation turned violent, with the OPP shooting George during a tense standoff in 1995.
Virtue says the news reports of the incident never made sense to her. "Ever since this happened...I thought something was off about what I was reading," she says. "Meeting the people up there, we were always treated so nicely, and then comparing that to what I was reading in the newspaper something was quite off.
"I always knew if I could ever make a documentary I'd make it on Ipperwash," she says.
Virtue started in college, going up to Ipperwash to talk to people "Originally going to make a 10 minute film with Clifford (George) ...but Sam kept showing up." Virtue says Sam George would give her advice on who to talk to and "ensured we had the right footage."
Eventually, she decided watching Sam George try to force an inquiry on the stand-off would be a better story to tell so she asked him if she could follow him around with a camera. "Sam said, 'You can follow me anywhere I go, just bring your running shoes.'"
For six years, Virtue followed George, shooting hours of film and interviewing him constantly. Eventually, Virtue was hired by the George family's lawyer, Murray Klippenstein, to research and create a film on the history of Ipperwash Park. She spent over 1,900 hours researching for that project alone.
Once she was done school, Virtue moved to Forest for five years so she could sit in on the Ipperwash Inquiry, shooting more footage.
She says even though there were a lot of members of the media at the inquiry in Forest, she felt some of the story was never told. "Some of the media had to leave halfway through the day (of testimony) to file and they were missing whole parts…I kept thinking 'there is a whole story here that isn't being told… (News coverage) really strips out the human aspect of it."
Virtue says she was shaken by Sam George's death from cancer in 2009. Just recently she returned to the footage and decided she needed help to finish the project.
Now Virtue is raising money in an on-line campaign (http://www.indiegogo.com/ipperwashpark) to hire people to help her edit and produce the film. Virtue hopes to raise $25,000 by Aug. 5 to finish Ipperwash Park in the next year.

KAT-TUN has a new single on the way to be release on May 18th, White. While it's a single A-side it has two tie-in songs, the title song and the B-side on all three editions, Perfect. There is one LE that has the usual PV for the A-side with making of. Then it's two REs this time, each coming with a different 2nd B-side song.
Then Tegomass will be releasing a concert DVD for their last concert tour, Tegomass no Ai. It comes in two editions with the only bonus for the LE is a 52-page booklet.
With the May singles that have been announced I'm personally wondering if Kis-My-Ft2 will be having a June CD debut instead. It seems too late for them to release on the first week of May and AKB48 have a single releasing on the only other week that doesn't have a Johnny's single being released. I'm sure Johnny's wants Kisumai to have a #1 debut single so I wouldn't be surprised to see that they wait until the next month to make sure they get that.

Hi there,
I am using SSRS 2008. I have a line chart which queries a huge dataset and shows the datapoints really close to each other that the labels and grid-lines are overlapping onto each other.
Is there a way to split the chart and show it on different pages.? Thanks in Advance :)
View Complete Post
page breaks seem to be a real issue in SSRS, according to the number of posts, but I haven't found a solution for my problem yet.
My report contains a tablix which is used to group the data by keys. The tablix has one column and one row, and this cell contains several subreports which get their data from another table depending on the keys of the groups. This works quite well. However,
I would like to insert a page break in between the subreports. I tried inserting a rectangle with the PageBreak property set to Start and/or End, but this is ignored. Page breaks in the subreports themselves are also ignored. Having the subreports in rectangles
with PageBreak property set to Start or End is ignored as well.
The only way I have found to force page breaks is cross-joining my query of the main report with a table containing page numbers, add the page number field as the last grouping in SSRS and check the "Page breaks between each instance of the group", then
showing or hiding the subreports conditionally depending on the page number retrieved from the database. However, this obviously multiplies the amount of retrieved data by the number of pages and is therefore a rather slow approach.
How can I insert a page break between rows of a tablix or even within one row?
We are using the Report Viewer control in local processing mode
I would like to control the visibility of a data label in a line chart using an expression. For example, I have a requirement to show the data label for two compariable data points in a line chart where the horizontal axis is time (Q1, Q2, Q3,
etc...) and the data points are determined based on a selected parameter. The basic idea is that a user can select to view Q3 as the end point of reporting and the chart will graph a complete time line (e.g. FY 2001 thru FYXX
Q3) but only show the label for Q3 and prior year Q3.
I have tried to build an expression in the visibility property of 'Chart Series Labels' but this does not appear to work.
I want to plot series in a line Graph on UTC time which has to be placed on Primary category axis. The secondary category axis should just display the correspoding PST time(No series need to be plotted on this). Is there a way to achive this?
i have created a 100 % stacked bar chart report in ssrs 2008.
in that chart created a stripe line for showing current week data.
i cant able to see the stripe line fully.
is there any way to bring that stripe line into fore ground?
dear all,
i use crystal report integrated with vs.2008, and i want to make chart with dual axis (bar & line).
i have used bar chart and input the data with 2 values..
then in chart options > template, i activated the dual axis..
my question is, how i can change the 2nd value with line chart not bar chart??
i'd tried to find the right settings in "chart options" but still can't find the solution.
for information in "chart options" there are 4 sub menu : template, general,titles,grid..
i read in a tutorial there's more sub menu called "series" in crystal report (stand alone version)..
is it possible doing it in Crystal Report VS. 2008?
please,, i need your advice and solution..
Thanx before..

Fantasy Premier League – Week 34 Tips
Fantasy Premier League - Week 34 Tips
A complicated fixture list this weekend with 4 postponed games, some of which are directly rescheduled for mid-week and some of which aren't. In order to provide some nice structure to our dear readers, this article will focus on the six games taking place over the weekend itself. We'll follow that up with another article focusing on the five games coming up on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week.
5 Players You Need This Week
Romelu Lukaku
Lukaku can't get 13 points every week, but he still managed to chip in with a goal and 6 points last week, the kind of performance that's become almost automatic for him. West Ham away is not the easiest fixture, but it's not the hardest either, and you'd fancy him to have a solid chance of scoring. As we've mentioned, the biggest issue with Romelu is that with almost 5o% selection you're as likely to be playing against him as not. He should still be in your side this week.
Joshua King
The Bournemouth star deserves more mentioned on our site, but the ubiquity of talented players can make that difficult sometimes. This week the lack of fixtures allowed us to give him his deserved mention. Although his point tally can be up and down (3-7-9-2) there's enough positives to make him a nailed on starter this week. He's scored a remarkable 9 goals in his last 10 games from midfield, and his value makes him an obvious starting midfielder.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Zlatan was a massive let down for anyone that had him in their lineup and didn't notice he'd been rested in time. This late (and effective) change from Mourinho certainly caught many FPL managers by surprise. It's obviously no surprise that his 8 minute bench cameo provided 0 points, leaving those that played him as captain devastated. This week, however, he looks certain to be back in the starting lineup and we cannot discount the fact he had 19 points in 2 games before his rest. An away game at Burnley makes him an obvious FPL starter.
Roberto Firmino
Despite racking up more points, more consistently than Coutinho, he's remained much less selected to our surprise. Firmino has put together three consistent 5 point games in weeks 30, 31 and 32 before following it up with an excellent game (including a goal) against West Brom in week 33. For us he's the most likely to guarantee you the 5 points you'll need for his price, while having the upside potential of a double digit week.
Phil Jagielka
We're a bit proud to have tipped up Jagielka before he started exploding. Last week we said once more that we fancied him to get a goal from defence and he went and did it for the 3rd week in a row. Incredibly this £4.8 defender has provided 34 points through his last three games and with a game against West Ham approaching we see no need to change our faith in him now.

A message for gun nuts:
There's no need for you to worry, the scary black man in the White House is never going to take your precious guns. I understand you're scared to death of everything so you need those guns; I get it. But America is far too stupid to ever do anything about gun violence. We are just too dumb to do what other countries have successfully done. Besides, we Americans do NOT want fewer people killed, we want MORE, because that's good for the gun business so it can ramp up paranoia and sell more guns and ammo.
If we didn't do anything about gun violence after classrooms full of little kids had their bodies torn apart in high-powered weapons fire, we never will. We lack the guts, the courage, the morality to ever do anything about it.
So I've gone over to the gun nut side. I think we should all start carrying guns, ESPECIALLY young black men being gunned down by police, ESPECIALLY Black Lives Matter protesters, ESPECIALLY Muslims having their mosques firebombed and vandalized, ESPECIALLY women wanting to get abortions, ESPECIALLY liberals who are the targets of gun nut messiahs' promises to come "hunt" us down "like dogs."
Let's see some Black Lives Matter protesters marching down the street open-carrying their weapons. Let's see a parade of Muslims armed to the teeth and brandishing weapons. They have 2nd amendment rights too, right?
Yes, let's ALL arm ourselves and let the shooting continue. Guns will solve all of our problems.

« i woke up one morning to the sound of my favourite song. i couldn't understand where it was coming from because i was still half asleep, but i found the sound very attractive. my parentes in the other room, however, didn't find it so enjoyable. to them, it was just noise. to me, the vibrant sounds of the electric guitar were inspiring.
then i began to think what life would be like without music. is it as important in our life as water is ? there is not a moment in history when there were no musical instruments. this means that we can't live without music in the way we can't live without water. but, of course, it's not as critical as water. yet water doesn't make us cry as when we listen to that special song that reminds us of a loved one or a special friend. it doesn't encourage us to dance even in the hardest times. in music, the rules aren't there to limit you; on the contrary, they are a base on wich you can freely build your songs.
life isn't getting any easier but music stops it from getting any harder. if we lived whitout the vibrations of rhythmic sound, life would be dull and dry. »

Braided Hairstyles, From the Classic to the Contemporary
People have been braiding hair for centuries, but here at HairBetty, we think that there's never been a time when braid hair styles were so cool or in style as right now! From classic braided hair styles like the French braid to modern looks like the cascade or waterfall braid, braids never seem to go out of style, and right now they're a great option for those looking to do something different with their hair.
Classic Braided Looks
These braid styles might have been around for a long, long time, but that's because they're so great, they never stop being cool! Our favorite of the classic braids is also one of the most popular out there right now: the fishtail braid. Seen incorporated into celebrity hairstyles worldwide, this interesting braid is made to look like the tail of a fish, giving it
both a unique name and look. The most common of braid, of course, is the French braid, which uses three pieces of hair layered one over the other in a specific pattern to create a great perennially popular look. French braids are slightly different from what is considered a "standard" braid in that the braiding begins at the top of the head, as opposed to at the neck. Another variation on the standard braid, the Dutch braid is a reverse French braid which causes the plaits of the braid to point the opposite direction (up, instead of down).
Chic, Modern Braids for the Modern Girl
When the standard, oldschool braided looks just aren't doing it for you, fear not! Modern days have seen some super-chic braid techniques come about that we are crazy for. Of these, our three favorites are the side-braid, the cascade braid and the wild and funky Venice braid. The side-braid is exactly what it sounds like, though it's not the actual braid that makes it new, but where it's placed on the head! Sported by young starlets like Miley Cyrus, the side-braid is just about any kind of braid placed on the side of the head as opposed to the back. The cascade braid, is one of the few that can't be done this way, as it is a super-new type of braid that is plaited partway down the back of long hair, which then drops back the normal way. Also called the waterfall braid, this cool look is meant to make the hair look like it's cascading like moving water, and it's our very favorite of the new looks. A close second, however, is the awesome Venice braid. Similar to the French or fishtail braids, in that it takes the hair into one solid plait, the Venice braid is an ultra-messy couture braid hugely popular with the fashion world right now. Its wild strands and tousled look contrast with the structure of the braid for an incredibly modern style that's to die for.
These are obviously not the only braided styles out there, but you can always use the HairBetty search to scope out a few other looks! We'll also be approaching braids again later this week in another article to give you some more great ideas, so be sure to check back later this week for some neat ideas for how to make braids look even better. We guarantee, you won't want to miss these cool tips!

Surrender _
Sel Forage had the face of a ditch, all carved up and messy. He belonged in a prison yard, not closing in on his eighteenth year as a case worker for the Chicago Housing Authority, ostensibly helping the same impoverished, broken families he was shaking down for sex and drugs. He got away with it for so long because, basically, no one wanted to hassle a guy who looked like that.
He learned from his mother, the first one, the one who disfigured him, that fury was the hugest, sweetest inhale of all. After she left for good, Sel took that lesson and made it his own. He held it close and polished out the rough edges. Then he packed it together all smooth and hard and dense and stuffed it way deep down inside him. He was eight.
It's still in him, all that useless rage. But much like how he never allowed mothers two and three the satisfaction of loving him, Sel pays no mind. Not anymore. That fiery knot's become such an integral part of what he's turned into as a man and human being that after forty-three years his resulting choices and actions are now these things that just happen, like cell division or gravity. Because however long it takes, you eventually learn to accept the things you can't control. Be it the color of your skin or the economic station into which you were born or the childhood that vanished *poof* the night she had one too many and then got hold of some scissors and started swinging.

Every Sunday, I leave this service with a new energy that inspires me to try harder, be better and care more about others.

If you have not found a home to feed your Spirit, if you want a place that focuses on the positive of life, if you want a place that when you leave, you feel inspired and ready to take on the world, then join us this Sunday at Agape Spiritual Center.

Of all the places I've travelled to in Europe, Hungary has left the biggest impression on me. I could use this post to tell you about the grand St. Stephen's basilica, the enchanting Chain Bridge, the relaxing baths, but you can find all that on any tourist website.
Instead, I want to tell you about the people.
While France, Italy, and Spain receive much praise from tourists, Central European countries are often overlooked. I'm ashamed to admit I knew little of Hungary before my visit. I didn't even know where Hungarians came from.
"Mongolia", the owner of the hostel where I was staying educated me on my second day in the city; he quickly became my first friend there. Born on horses, Hungarians are traditionally known to be relentless and skilled fighters who mastered infamous archery techniques on horseback.
"My country used to be much bigger" my friend mourned one night over dinner, not knowing that he was echoing the exact words my tour guide had said earlier that day. Hungarians can recount their country's history with passion and precision, including the powerful days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and the dark periods of the Nazi and Soviet occupations.
At first glance, Hungarians appear to be closed and very private individuals; their stern faces seem to show the suppression of the previous Soviet rule. Although the last Soviet soldier left about two decades ago, the country is still recovering from the whiplash of the Communist government. Walking around Pest area, across the water from the Buda castle, I saw numerous beautiful apartments up for sale; their neo-Renaissance facades damaged from years of abandonment. The country has had a difficult past; its present shows both signs of uncertainty and recovery.
Having learned about the history of Hungary from locals, I was particularly sensitive to life in Budapest during my sightseeing. Museums were time capsules of pain and suffering; churches became memorials of monarchy and tradition. I'm very thankful to have befriended locals here, for no other accounts of Hungarian history would have been quite as intimate as the ones I received.I also learned that while Hungarians seem reserved on the outside, if you are lucky enough to form a friendship with any of them, they will open their homes and hearts to you with smiles bright enough to warm a cold Hungarian winter day.

One World
'Two months ago, Brazilian graffiti artist Kobra, 40, who lives in Sao Paulo, began working on a mural which was recently determined to be the world's largest mural completed by a single man.
To create the masterpiece for the Rio Olympics Kobrda used 100 gallons of white paint, 400 gallons of colored paint, and 3,500 cans of spray paint to transform normal walls into visions of color and beauty.
The mural, titled Las Etnias (Ethnicities) depicts the cultural diversity of the games. 50 feet (15 meters) tall and 30,000 square feet (2,782 square meters) wide, it features five faces from five different continents that represent the Olympic rings.
"These are the indigenous people of the worl," says Kobra on the Rio 2016 official website. "The idea behind it is that we are all one. We're living through a very confusing time with a lot of conflict. I wanted to show that everyone is united, we are all connected."
Too bad there isn't a medal for masterfully painting murals, for Kobra would undoubtedly receive the gold.'
To see more beautiful photos of the mural click, 'We are all one.'

Rocketing Toward War -- by Richard Cohen
A visit to the place where the next Middle East war will probably begin
SDEROT, Israel -- Rockets launched from the nearby Gaza Strip fall here almost daily. These Qassams are crude devices that hardly ever kill people, although they have, and hardly ever wound anyone, although recently a boy lost part of a leg. They hit with unpredictable regularity, taking a roof here, a piece of a wall there and demolishing the peace of mind of every resident. Bit by bit, Sderot is going crazy.
The next Middle East war may start over Sderot. To many Israelis, the daily rain of Qassam rockets is reason enough to go back into Gaza and eradicate the rocket-makers, the rocket launchers and the entire Hamas leadership that now runs Gaza. The call for action superficially makes a certain amount of sense. But memory rebukes: Didn't Israel just pull out of Gaza?
Yes, it did. It withdrew most of its military and all of its settlements and turned the wretched area, populated by 1.2 million mostly poor Palestinian refugees, over to the moderate Palestinian Authority. Then the PA lost an election to Hamas and the militants have been in charge ever since, permitting the incessant rocketing of Sderot and its environs. The Qassams are lofted over the high border wall, and whether they hit a school or a hospital or a cat basking in the sun is of no concern to Hamas.
Click here for the complete text.
It is so easy to demonize Israel for it's heavy handed policies against the Palestinians. I've done my share of that myself, recently. But there are almost always at least two sides to any story concerning Israel.
8 comments:
- TomCat said...
The basis on which I tend to blame Israel, at least in part, for this situation, along with Bush and the GOP, is for marginalizing Hamas as though they did not exist. When Hamas won the election, they asked to be included in negotiations and were rebuffed. The one best way to ensure that enemies remain enemies is to refuse to talk to them. That said, I disapprove of Hamas' tactics.
- an average patriot said...
It is hard to say where it will blow next but thanks to Bush the entire middle east will be embroiled then this will really get going. Today Palestine suggested it might declare its idependence and have a security force like Kosovo. Bush has instigated all of this and it is just beginning to snowball.
- two crows said...
hey, TC--
yeah. Hamas has repeatedly said it wants to push all Israelis into the sea. now that it's starting to unbend, Israel refuses to talk.
just as has happened for 3000+ years, no one is willing to give an inch. and so it escalates.
- two crows said...
hi, AAP--
just as Bush enjoyed playing with firecrackers and frogs when he was a boy, he still likes playing with explosives.
and now human lives are on the line.
- an average patriot said...
He is a damn idiot and could care less how obvious his war mongering and world destructive new order is. Getting his way is all that matters.
- two crows said...
'Getting his way is all that matters.'
yeah, AAP--
as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning, the Israeli/Hamas situation and the end of the Constitution as we knew it: GW's getting his way --
- FranIAm said...
This is a topic of great personal importance and interest to me.
I have been to Israel twice and I shall return. I fully support its right to exist but then... I must add, at what cost?
This is a story that is old and complex and yet very simple as well.
One day I will find the courage and the strength to write more about my time in that country and my on-going argument with my very Zionist cousin who lives there.
I do not support the actions of Hamas or the militant factions of any ilk.
However there are two sides of the story and they both have issues.
To this I point attention towards what is now known among Palestinians as al-Naqba.
I could drone on and on and on but I will not. I will however recommend a great book that can shed a lot of insight on the topic.
That book is The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan.
This is a very challenging matter in Israel.
However, in the end I must say that Israel is Goliath and Gaza is David.
That does matter. In the end, my sad personal experience is that Israel has a big "f*ck you" attitude and that will never solve things.
Someone has to stop first and maybe it has to be the bigger, stronger party.
Israel loves to claim the victim role, but there are many issues with that.
I say what I say with respect and with a great desire for peace in that part of the world.
- an average patriot said...
I am afraid this is just the beginning of the end for Israel. I have some very good Jewish American friends who have led the peace movement and other liberal movements here in America for 65 years.
However I am afraid that when Bush diverted from Afghanistan to get into the middle east via Iraq to help Israel form their security zone and their new middle east order it was the beginning of the end for Israel and any semblance of middle east or world order.

It's worth pointing out at this point the Clarín is Anti-Kirchner and the blogger behind QTPC is highly critical of the newspaper and its editorial line. Also, from when the blog kicked off in early April to today it has been severely critical of Clarín and often publishing embarrassing secrets that Clarín simply didn't want out in the public field. You can still access all 140 posts at QTPC at this Google search link, but instead of going to the page you need to click the 'CACHED' button of each entry. Those of you who do Spanish can find out all the juicy details that the shits at Clarín wanted to suppress.
IKN voices its total support for the blog QTPC and roundly condemns the bullyboy actions of Grupo Clarín, an enormous, monopolistic, publicly quoted media company (GCLA on the London Stock Exchange) that would be the first to scream blue murder if it were the object of press restrictions itself.
UPDATE: The story I linked to above on the first link ("been gagged by court order") was a specific report in Argentina's 'Critica' daily, but now it seems the story has been pulled and the linkgoes to the website's home page...no report anywhere on the site. Looks like Clarin has managed to gag its rival, too. Wowsers, what fascists! Here's a report on the closure from a site in Spain.

On Sunday, the first day of school at Miina Härma, we left the house at nine, my mother, Adeele, Aksel, and I. We picked up Meeme after getting flowers for the principal and class teacher. We got to the school at little before ten and went into the school grounds. Once in there, I met Brittney, the exchange student from Kansas. Together we went to wait at the sign for our class, 11a.
After a little while, more of our class arrived and she introduced me to the exchange students from Germany and Mexico, one of them being from Rotary. There was a minor awkward moment when I went to shake the Mexican girl's hand and she started to hug me, but we just ended up in a big hug after a few seconds.
After everyone in the school had arrived, the principal stood up and spoke about something for twenty minutes. Then a couple groups sang. Soon after, everyone went inside and went to there class teacher's room. Us exchange students followed the teacher and those students in our class that we knew to the room.
The teacher talked a lot in Estonian and a little bit in English as well. Then she had us exchange students introduce ourselves, so we did in Estonian. We got our schedules at some point and everyone elected a class leader. I'm fairly sure that the kid who was elected is in my drama class. That was pretty much it, and everyone was out the door by noon. I left lilies on the teacher's desk, and then found the principal, who is in my Rotary club, and gave her flowers.
After that I went with my family to lunch and then went home.

Short day! Was that because it was a Sunday? Lots of exchange kids, too. Must be considered a good place. Hope the rest of the week is going well.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the updates! Aunt Patti was reminding me how she was the happiest kid on her first day of school in first grade as she finally had a baby sister instead of another brother!ReplyDelete

Biju Parameswaran, a much traveled literary and movie enthusiast writes:
There can only be one answer to the question 'Who is the most well-known Malayali in the world?' and that is Kattaserri Joseph Yesudas. Born in Fort Kochi in 1940 to singer Augustine Joseph and Alicekutty, Yesudas, who is Dasettan to millions of Malayalis, has been singing in films for fifty years now, a longevity paralleled only by two of the Mangeskhar sisters of Mumbai. He is a phenomenon that takes in both classical and light singing and in all Indian languages save Assamese, Kashmiri & Konkani in addition to international languages like English, Arabic & Latin. Mahakavi G. Shankara Kurup was the first to call him "Gaana Gandharvan" (Celestial Singer). Reams of articles have been written about this much decorated artist (apart from the Padma Bhushan and honorary doctorates, he has bagged countless state, national and filmfare awards for playback singing) but not many books. The journalist Suresh Menon had written a typically delightful essay on the singer which is included in Anita Nair's anthology of writings on Kerala, Where the Rain Is Born. The book under review, Athisayaragam comes from an authority on Indian cinema music, a true movie music historian, Ravi Menon. His earlier works include Soja Rajakumari, Engane Naam Marrakkum, Meri Awaz Suno, Hridaya Geethangal, Mozhikallil Sangeethamaay and Nakshatra Deepangal. As he writes in the introduction, Yesudas to Malayalis is a habit, just like brushing teeth and changing clothes in the morning, a habit that is never to be plucked away from life.
The book is not a chronological trace of the genius from birth to now but rather an examination of the evolution of the man in association with his musical sojourners. The barely 200 page book is embellished with a delectable spread of 30 pages of photographs. The icing on the cake is a listing of all of Dasettan's songs based on category (love, grief, nature, description, humor, philosophy, classical/ semi-classical, devotional, chant and poetic). In the first ever Kerala State School Youth Festival in 1958, Yesudas emerged winner in classical song. The prize for percussion instrument was bagged by a mridangam playing kid who went on to become the number two of Malayalam singing – Paliath Jayachandran! A photo of the two in concert in the said event is included. Another marvel is Dasettan's discovery of the talent of a frock-wearing nine year old kid called Sujatha. She rose to prominence as a playback singer and is still going steady even as her own daughter Sweta has matured as a singer herself. Sujatha and Yesudas appeared together in 2000 stages, a record. Yesudas appeared in a few movies including considerable parts like the suruma seller in Kayamkulam Kochunni. His first recorded song was "Jaathi Bhedam Matha Dvesham" in Kaalpadukal. Sree Narayana Guru's lines were set to music by M.B. Sreenivasan. Recently, while appearing as the chief guest in the grand finale of the popular contest Star Singer on Asianet TV channel, he was seen singing it with the same passion as would a new entrant to the field of music. His dedication to his art is legendary, as also the professionalism. He once refused to sing a song that was first recorded by Jayachandran and then taken off him and offered to Das.
Yesudas is married to Prabha and they have three sons Vinod, Vijay (a popular singer today) and Vishal. He founded the recording studio Tharangini in Vellayambalam, Thiruvananthapuram. The city which he enriched with countless concerts, is close to his heart as seen by his championing the cause of Vizhinjam port in recent years.
He has two brothers Moni & Justin and a sister Jayamma. Some of our greatest composers like Devarajan, Dakshinamurthy, Baburaj, Arjunan, MSV, MBS, Raghavan, Salil Chowdhury & Ravindran have exploited the seemingly flawless and infinite talent of this singer to create sparkling gems out of lyrics penned by frontline poets like Vayalar, ONV, P. Bhaskaran, Yusufali Kechery & Sreekumaran Thampi. The seventies saw Yesudas rising in popularity in Hindi thanks to a string of hits for movies by masters like Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The blind composer Ravindra Jain gave him his 'Jab Deep Jale Aana' masterpiece in Chitchor. Who can forget 'Kannai Kalaimane' in the Tamizh Moondram Pirai for Illayaraja? It is futile to try extolling the greatness of those immortal songs. The book is a welcome addition to the corpus of literature on Indian cinema (more than classical concerts it is the playback singing for which the commoner Malayali will remember Dasettan).
This is a treasure trove of trivia too.
Some of the popular Yesudas hits are from movies that never saw the light of the day. IAS man K Jayakumar's maiden creation 'Kudajadriyil Kudikollum Maheswari' is from Neelakadamb which got shelved. Others include 'Padarenu Thedi Alanju', 'Swapnangallokkeyum Pankuveykaam' and 'Hridayam Devalayam'.
Nellikode Bhaskaran was the actor who had the unique privilege of giving life on screen to the first songs of both Yesudas and Jayachandran (for the latter in Kunjali Marackar, 1965).
Yesudas sang two songs for an Adoor Gopalakrishnan film (!) that never came out. This was in the 60's and prior to Swayamavaram. This information is courtesy Prabha Yesudas, not a bad singer herself.
Evergreen hits like 'Devi Nin Chiriyil', 'Ila Kozhiyum Sisirathil', 'Ella Dukhavum Enikk Tharoo' and 'Ninne Punaraan Neettiya Kaikalil' were written by obscure writers some of them one-film wonders and who died unsung and in penury. Who has heard of Vellanad Narayanan and Kunjumoitheen Kutty?
Dasettan himself composed the music for numbers like 'Rasoole Nin Kanavaale' (film Sanchari).
His directorial attempt never came to fruition and the leading girl of that aborted venture was one who later came to be 'discovered' by Balachandra Menon, a dusky beauty name of Karthika.
While Yesudas sang for many people including himself, only one singer had the credit of singing for Yesudas and this was Dr. Balamuralikrishna for Anarkali where he played Tansen.
Two regulars of earlier Yesudas orchestras were Paul who played the thabala and harmonist Jose. They are respectively the father & uncle of today's director/actor/producer Lal.
Any discussion on Yesudas is not complete without a mention of Ayyappan, the Hindu deity he has immensely worshipped in song and otherwise. 'Harivarasanam' is perhaps the most famous of the songs to the lord of Sabarimala. It appeared in Swami Ayyappan in 1975.
Many people consider themselves lucky to be living in the same period as this legend. Last year he released a book called "My Life and Thoughts". While welcoming this present memoir of Ravi Menon's, we look forward to bigger and meatier biographies on the great Dasettan.

Quoted as "fast approaching cult status", Oslo Davis took us on a witty and absurd journey through his vast folio of cartoons at the AGideas seminar in Melbourne yesterday.
And what a delightful insight into the mind of an illustrator.
Hearing how he has struggled to have a recognisable style was interesting because his looseness and sparse colour are evident every time you look at his work. Self-doubt seems to torment even the most successful.
Oslo has seemed to simply pursue his love for drawing through his life, which has brought him great success. His wide portfolio of work kept the laughs coming and kept the audience, full of design students, interested - not an easy task.
I can't help wondering if he'll attend the after-party and whether he'll quote a student in his next 'Overheard' cartoon. We can only hope.
Check out Oslo's 'Overheard' cartoons at the link below.

I was a Mommy of TWO TODDLERS this week!
I had the opportunity to make a little extra money and babysit an adorable 20 month old. His name is Micah, and his parents are friends of ours. Micah's regular babysitter went out of town this week. Let me just say it was such a fun, but challenging experience for me, since we had fun places to go, while all three of us had colds! When Brian was home from work, he helped out tons! Micah really loved playing with Brian. Hannah really enjoyed having a little play mate, since she's 16 months and they're really close in age. On Veteren's Day, we went to the parade on Mill Ave in Tempe and LOVED it! We also ended the week with going over to Brian's parent's house where they have goats, chickens, and lots of backyard to explore! I watched Micah all day, Monday through Thursday. What a treat, but I'm glad that we're back to just Hannah and I! :) I unfortunately don't have any photos. (So sad!)

Halloween 2009! And, looking back a year ago.
Hasn't Hannah changed? From an ASU Cheerleader last year to Tinkerbell this year! Amanda and Hannah went to Grandview Ward's Trunk-or-Treat, Shalimar's Trunk-or-Treat, Denny and Inge-Lise's Halloween Party, and visited grandparents. Brian was working that day :(, but we had fun. Halloween is a great time to show off the cute kids, right? :)

Lake Powell/Chris Comes Home!
A couple weeks ago we traveled to Lake Powell with Brian's family and it was a blast! Except that it was freezing and windy! No, it really was a lot of fun to get away and spend time with family members that we hadn't seen for a long time. Hannah had a great time and really bonded with her cousins, aunts and uncles. We were there for four days, and then went home to Chris' Homecoming from the Philippines!!! We were there Oct. 15th night at the airport to see him fresh off the plane. It was so amazing to finally see him after two years! Afterward, Brian and Amanda went over to Heather and John's for dinner with Nathan and Chris as well. We've had such a great time hearing Chris' stories and hanging out with him. We love our brother, Chris!

No Back to School for us!
Brian and I have been feeling lately that we should be starting another semester...but we're done! To keep ourselves busy this fall, Brian has been laboring over our square foot garden, learning Spanish on Rosetta Stone, and just working on little projects around the home. I joined the Mormon Deseret Choir a month ago, and I love it! I'm also working researching holistic nutrition, exercise daily, and am researching how to make a slip cover for the chair we found next to a dumpster! Good luck to me! Hannah and I attend a storytime and an art class for one to two year olds and enjoys attending the ward play groups.

It's been too long!
So much has happened with our family, and we haven't been posting!!! Just to catch you up, Brian and I graduated a few months ago in May with bachelor degrees in Nursing and Music Education! Woohoo! Brian now has a full time job as a nurse at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital. I am able to stay at home with Hannah...huge blessing for our family. I am in the Mormon Deseret Choir that meets once a week and am starting a Piano Pedagogy class at MCC starting this next Monday. It's just two days a week for 50 minutes...perfect! Hannah is almost 14 months old now, and is walking like a pro, saying three official words (daddy, ball, go), and is a baby that never fails to make us laugh everyday with her fun personality! We love her! Next blog, I'll post some pictures from the summer. Here are some pictures from the graduation and other random pics of Hannah...enjoy!

Mark 7:24-30
24From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, 25but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." 28But she answered him, "Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." 29Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter." 30So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Mark 14:1-9
It was two days before the Passover and the festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him; 2for they said, "Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people."
3While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head. 4But some were there who said to one another in anger, "Why was the ointment wasted in this way? 5For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they scolded her.
6But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. 7For you always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me. 8She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial. 9Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her."
I've been struggling this week with how to preach these passages. They're very different, and in a way, the only thing that joins them is that they are stories of women in the New Testament. They're stories of women who spent time with Jesus.
The story Susan read is always a hard one for me. I love Jesus, and one of the things that's always attracted me is his welcome, his concern for people on the margins, his preference for the poor, vulnerable and excluded. But in this story he calls the gentile woman and her daughter dogs. He shows the strong tendency of some Jewish men of his time to feel that everyone who wasn't religiously "pure" was a lesser kind of person. It's funny because he just finished condemning the Pharisees for their obsession with religious laws, and now he's acting like a Pharisee.
It's tempting to smooth it over. Some people believe Jesus is testing the woman to see if she's faithful enough. I guess that's a more comfortable way to read it, but I don't really buy it. Luke doesn't include this story at all, and I don't blame Luke for leaving it out; each writer has their own version of the story to tell. Each version of the story of Jesus gives us a different angle on Jesus, and that's a blessing.
So when we read Mark, we are stuck with this story. And in some ways, the story fits just fine. The truth is, Jesus left heaven, left the glory of being divine, behind to join the human condition. When Jesus chose to take on human flesh he could have been born in a palace, but he chose instead to be born in a stable to a working class family. And Jesus could have chosen to be born the son of a philosopher or a rabbi, but he chose to be a carpenter's son.
Jesus chose to be human, really, actually human. He chose to be limited, to be imperfect, to be vulnerable. Often we have the idea of Jesus as a perfect man, and there's truth to that. He is a great example of faithfulness to God in a human life. But it is human faithfulness. In his human life, Jesus was limited by his circumstances, by his upbringing, by his culture, his time period, his family, his experience. In his wisdom and in his miracles, he often seems more than human, but maybe it shouldn't surprise us if his limits show through from time to time.
Maybe he was having a bad day and didn't want another conversation. God chose the people of Israel to be especially close to God, so it makes sense for Jesus to put his own people first. And maybe Jesus feels like he has so many people to heal, so many lives to change, so many outcasts to welcome within the people of Israel, that the time is going to run out before he finishes. The practical, budgeting side of Jesus knows that there are only so many hours he has to spend, so he needs to spend them well.
If Jesus was really human, he must have felt overwhelmed sometimes by the scope of his mission, by the human need that surrounded him and constantly pressed against him. Maybe this was one of those times.
But the woman in the first story is a mother. Maybe she could have lived with Jesus saying "no," if she was seeking healing for herself, but it's a different story when we're talking about her daughter. When it comes to her daughter, she is not going to leave without trying everything. And here's the lesson for the life of faith, perseverance is part of it, but not the only part. Our culture is all about getting what we deserve, but that's not the main message of the Bible.
When you read the Psalms, which is the song book and prayer book of the Bible, one thing you notice is that most of the time when the writer asks God for something he or she doesn't ask based on what they deserve. There are a few psalms where the writer says, "God, be good to me because of my righteousness," but that's the minority. When the Psalms ask for God's kindness the two reasons they give most often are God's love, or the need of the person asking. It's much more common for the psalmist to say, "Grant my request, Lord, because I'm desperately in need," than for the psalmist to say, "Grant my request, Lord, because I've earned it."
I don't know if the woman in this story had ever read the psalms, but it fits. When Jesus says it's not right to give the children's food to dogs, she doesn't argue or protest. She says, "Lord, even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table." It's not about what she and her child deserve, it's about what they need and about what Jesus can give.
Something about her words, maybe her humility, maybe her reliance on God, maybe her persistence and assertiveness, catches Jesus' attention. Her words force him to reconsider, and he heals the daughter. And maybe beyond this story, beyond the margins of Mark and beyond the words of the narrator, maybe Jesus reconsiders more than this woman's request. Maybe he rethinks some of his assumptions; maybe Jesus learns something from this woman.
By the time we get to the second passage, the story of a woman anointing Jesus with perfume before his death something is different. This passage always surprises me a bit too. The disciples are concerned that such precious oil has been wasted instead of being sold and given to the poor. Their concern makes sense too. Jesus talks so often about giving to the poor and caring for those in need. His whole ministry he has put his needs last to minister to others. It seems totally out of step with his approach to life to spend a year's pay of perfume on him. I imagine the disciples think they have learned something about stewardship and ministry priorities from Jesus, so they speak up and share their concerns.
Jesus is full of surprises. This time he has nothing to say about budgeting scarce resources; he has nothing to say about wasting bread. He knows his time is short; there is basically nothing left to budget. He knows that all the teaching and healing and welcome that he hasn't gotten to yet will have to wait for his disciples to pick up the mission. The time for strategic plans is finished; all that is left is extravagant generosity, first by the woman in this passage and then by Jesus at the cross.
I'm often tempted to pass over this passage quickly because, like the disciples, I think it's a strange choice to pour out all that perfume at once. I don't quite know what to do with it, so I usually think of it as a side note. But Jesus doesn't let us think of it like that. He says, "Wherever the good news is proclaimed, what this woman has done will be told in remembrance of her." Jesus seems to think this is a pretty important moment, which means we'd better pause here a moment and see what it has to teach us.
Two lessons jump out at me this morning, and maybe you see something I'm missing. The first is a reminder to recognize and worship Jesus. Our tradition at Laurelton and in the Presbyterian Church in general is good at recognizing Jesus' wisdom and challenge. We're good at learning from Jesus' example and teachings. Honoring him, praising him, pouring out our hearts to give him glory, pure worship of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our savior, doesn't come as naturally to us, at least not to me.
If I had been with the disciples at that dinner I would have been a lot more likely to question the practicality of pouring out perfume than to offer my best in extravagant worship of Jesus. I lean towards seeing worship as a chance to learn and teach from scripture. I love the singing, I love the joy of the music and the poetry of the words, but it's still mostly in my head. I could do better at opening space in my soul just to marvel, just to stand in awe of God's love, to worship with my heart in gratitude, to pour out my prayers not just for the practical joys and concerns we share, but for the pure, amazing grace of Christ's love for us. I need to be reminded to worship, and maybe you do too.
The second lesson that jumps out at me is that there is a time for extravagance as well as a time for careful budgeting. We all know the need to keep a close eye on our finances; we know how to keep track of what comes in and what goes out. We know how to make hard choices when there's not enough money to do everything we want to do. We know that in our own lives, and many of us know that from experience on session here, or just from reading the budget year after year, as we will in a few minutes. The practical nuts and bolts of ministry make sense, and they're important.
But there's also a time for extravagance; there's a time to spend more than we should on something important or beautiful or holy. There's a time to pour out what we have, to offer more than we can afford, to respond to a calling we don't completely understand.
These two women have a lot to teach us, and we'll taste those lessons again at a moment at Christ's communion table. We learn that the crumbs from God's table are enough to nourish us, dogs and children alike. We learn that as we eat together, we are all beloved children after all. We learn to pause without counting the minutes or the cost and simply worship. We see and remember the extravagance of poured out perfume, poured out wine, poured out blood and poured out mercy. We remember these two women without names, we remember their lessons and their dedication. We remember our Lord, and we seek to be made new in love.
Thanks be to God.

My Louisiana heart is bleeding. The disaster of the BP oil spill is constantly on my mind and how their "equipment" has failed. This beautiful land, water and wildlife are all being coated in thick sticky tar. And for what reason? People, please wake up.

Augusta, Georgia, is the armpit of the state. As experienced so far, there is nothing to do in the "greater metro" area that is family-friendly while not requiring a large outlay of cash. There is also this pervasive stench of pulp mill. If you've never smelled stale pulp mill, imagine sitting in a half-full porta-potty for about an hour on a warm day, just for fun. And to make it all complete, the entire town appears to be under construction. It's fab fun for the whole fam.
Tonight, The Boy announces he must have a Spanish-English dictionary for English class. Just kidding. It's really for science.
So Mister and I head off for the book store. I was expecting it to be a tiny, useless den of inanity. After all, Augusta has always been and will continue to be an utter disappointment. I can't possibly expect local retailers to keep up with "modern times."
I was wrong.
The coffee shop didn't overpower you at the door, there were actually sales reps wandering around keeping the snowflakes from running and screaming, and the whole place was massive.
We had to walk all the way to the back to find the language section, which seemed to take a really long time, and along the way we passed the Manga section. After collecting the required text, we perused the Mangas in search of stuff for The Girl. Another display caught my eye, and I couldn't help myself. I just had to look. It was their gaming gear, and it was packed!
So many modules, so many options, so many books. Nearly everything ever put out for E3.5 including many items that were older modules that had been updated for the "new" rules. And then, there were the E4 books.
I'm busy drooling over the collection, calculating how many hours I'll have to work to buy one of everything, when Mister comes along and suggests that I pick a module and then run it with him and the kids. Drooling stops immediately, and the jaw drops. Pick one? One?!
He's not the geek I thought he was.
Anyhoo, I can't run a game, anyway. I'm not a rules bitch. And I don't have the bully-boy ball-busting 'tude required to keep the geeks in their place. ... Wait, what was the question?
EDITED: I must apologize, and I do, most sincerely. It appears that most of the Deep South is culturally deficient, not just Georgia.
In order to watch Harry Potter in 3-D as we always do, we will have to make a weekend trip of it by driving to either Chattanooga, Tennessee or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While Alabama does in fact have one more Imax theater than Georgia, none host movies in 3-D.
I have moved to Hell. At least it's raining today. -21 Aug 08

- Be relevant to those you wish to connect with, the #hashtag function in twitter enables others to search and filter posts for relevance.
- Concentrate on the important users/followers, having 25,000 followers may look impressive, but is useless for any sensible connection with the few who are important.
- Ask for input, help, comment, and it will come from a few of those who are engaged, clearly the ones you want to build a relationship, who share a connection.
- Build relationships first, sales may follow later, but without a relationship, there will be no sales. Consumers are a wary lot, rightly so, and looking like a pushy digital "used car salesman" will just turn people off.
Organisations of all types and sizes are grappling with the impact of social media. It is simply a fact of life now that many if not most customers, employees, and value chain partners use it, the potential as a marketing and communication tool is only just starting to be leveraged, and the clash with the cultural norms of the 20th century organisation are profound.
The social media egg will not be unscrambled, and setting out to manage its implications on all the relationships that exist to make an organisation work by command and control mechanisms simply will not work. A new set of rules needs to apply, and we need to think differently about governance practices we employ, and look to what works elsewhere.
In addition to the governance issues, being effective in a hugely cluttered environment with no barriers to entry is remarkably difficult, so some simple marketing guidelines may be useful, irrespective of the delivery mechanism:

Production Update Sept-23
I've stolen a couple of evenings to work a bit more on tracking Oh Sacred Head. I wish I had taken more screen shots of my progress. That way we could track together all the way to the end.
Anyway, I can play my WX5 despite my broken finger (left ring). Last night and tonight I tracked the rest of Horn 1 (grey track) and the beginning of Horn 2 (top gold track).
I've also discovered a new free convolution reverb that may become my go-to reverb. It's called Reverberate. Unlike SIR and Cakewalk's Perfect Space, which sum the inputs to mono before applying the IR, Reverberate takes the left and right inputs, applies the left and right channels of the IR, and sends them out the left and right outputs. They call this "Parallel Stereo", as opposed to their pay version which is "True Stereo."
So far I really like the sound and the stereo separation.
Oh, and the new music computer still isn't working. I can't get the SATA drive working. A friend will come over (soon, I hope) to help me out with that.
