A little "slice" of heaven
This blog is dedicated to my friend April. Todd and I enjoyed a little slice of heaven on Monday night in honor of you! Yep. We had some Papa Dell's pizza. Oh, it is so good. I ate so much I couldn't move, but it is amazing and totally worth the calories! Papa Dell's sells half-baked frozen pizza's and we got it via Champaign two weeks ago. All we had to do was bake it for 1 hour to enjoy the best deep dish pizza ever! Not only is this this best pizza on earth, it is a reminder of the good old days! I miss C-U! Good friends, good times, and obviously good food. I'd take back the days in the palace anytime.

On April 11, 2015 there were dozens of rallies across Canada demanding true leadership to deal with the climate crisis we face around the world. The federal Harper government continues to be a climate laggard refusing to address the need to reduce our carbon emissions and violate Indigenous peoples rights with its zealous pro-tar sands agenda. For the first time in Quebec, Indigenous peoples led the march to show our resolve to protect the sacredness of Mother Earth and demand justice. As I stood before a crowd of 25 000 people from across Canada, I spoke of the contamination, despair and detrimental impacts my family and many other communities face from resource extraction happening in our homelands of Northern Alberta.

(You can't win a battle with a horn, oh silly Joshua—The Donut Man)
Today I rode my bike for the first time since last summer…I am so out of shape. It was short. Very short. In distance, that is, not duration. It actually was quite a long time in duration.
It might not be much, but I can't do everything, and it is one better than doing nothing. I love riding my bike. It gives me time all by myself to be independent and think. Today I was thinking about how my God is big enough to make the wind and the waves, but I also believe not only can he make those big things, but he can make a peanut butter sandwich. The little things matter.
I'm out of shape, so there is definitely no way I can go on a "real" bike ride right now, but having a little time to ride my new bike I bought myself last year as a pre-graduation gift, and the new helmet I got for Christmas, was so awesome. Are there a million other things I should have been working on…umm, yeah, but everyone deserves a break sometimes. Even if you haven't actually started anything yet to earn a break.
I don't have many hours at work…so sometimes I'm lonely during the day…but I am thrilled that I get some hours with the people I love, and I also adore my time at VBS.

You need a night cap every night and your definition of "night" keeps getting earlier and earlier in the day.
Your idea of a mini vacay is turning your phone off for 5 minutes just to get some peace and quiet.
You spend way to much money on body cream, bath bombs and other Lush products just so you can create a spa in your bathroom & get away in the evenings.
You feel like you are crawling through the work day like a hung over college student trying to stay awake during a 3 hour econ lecture.
Coffee is not enough!
Your mind is as sharp as a wet noodle.
You let other people win arguments just so they will just shut up!
Your hair is frazzled and you have LARGE Bloomingdale's bags under your eyes and you don't even care!
You book a vacation 2 months out and put off everything important until after you are scheduled to return (2 months is a long time to check out of life unless you are in rehab or prison).
You truly believe all your problems and maybe even the world's could be solved if you could just getaway for a few minutes.

Dobson District Commander Mark Wesselman has yet another reason to be proud of his district's investigators. On Monday night they took a mugger off the streets. Between June 25th and July 8th, two separate robberies occurred on the same stretch of roadway. The suspect approached pedestrians on foot, pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot them if they did not give him their money and property.
The tenacious efforts of the investigators led them to 22 year-old, Dominique Franklin, whom admitted to the robberies. During a search warrant of his residence, stolen property (from the robberies), a hand gun, and drugs were seized. Franklin was booked on Robbery, Kidnapping, and Drug charges. Way to represent guys! Nice work!

Short of rifling through neighbours' rubbish bins, there is no better way to compare what your household spends with the rest of Australia than the Bureau of Statistics' survey of household expenditure released this week.
Conducted every six years, the survey of about 10,000 of almost 9 million households asks participants to record all their spending on goods and services over a two-week period. It also asks them to recall details of more expensive, infrequently purchased items bought over a one-year period. Results are presented for more than 600 goods and services.
So where does all our money go? And how does your household compare with the average?
The average household spends $1236 a week on goods and services, latest results for the 2009-10 financial year show. Housing represents the biggest cost, accounting for 18 per cent of total spending (including rent, mortgage interest payments, repairs and home insurance), up from 13 per cent a quarter of a century ago.
Next comes food and non-alcoholic beverages, eating up 17 per cent of the average household budget, down from 20 per cent in 1984. Transport, including car purchase, petrol, registration and servicing, is the third biggest at 16 per cent, followed by recreation, including holidays, at 13 per cent.
The survey shows the average household spends just $9.60 a week on fresh fruit (including $1.73 on bananas) compared with the $11.77 we spend on confectionery – that's chips, chocolate and ice-cream.
We have strayed from our British tea-drinking roots and are now a nation of confirmed caffeine addicts, spending $1.77 a week on coffee versus 80¢ on tea. Girt by sea, we spend more on fish and seafood ($4.89) than beef and veal ($4.86).
The age-old dilemma, butter or margarine, continues, with butter a nose in front at 75¢ a week to margarine's 67¢. The average household grocery bill for food and non-alcoholic drinks adds up to $240 a week and we spend another $63 on eating out and fast food.
Our love affair with beer continues: we spend an average of $12.58 on beer a week, versus $8.47 on wine.
And is that your mobile ringing? We spend almost as much on our mobile phones ($12.17 a week) as we do on fixed telephony ($14.67). Public telephones have gone the way of the dodo, the average household spending just 13¢ a week on such calls.
And here's one for the front page: women spend a lot more on clothes and hair than men. The average household spends just $42 a year on haircuts for its male occupants, versus $123 for the women. Women also spend more on clothes – $611 a year per household, versus $264 for men. The difference emerges early, with households on average spending $56 to clothe boys and $71 for girls.
People spend as much globetrotting overseas each year ($1389 per household) as they do exploring Australia ($1340). When it comes to entertainment, we spend just 14¢ a week visiting art galleries and museums and $2.29 going to the cinema.
Fees for health and fitness clubs eat up just $2.71 a week from the average household budget, compared with the $3.21 we are happy to punt on scratchies. We happily wager 50¢ a week on winning the lottery. We invest $36 a year on camping equipment and $20 a year on Christmas decorations.
It's the little details that make us who we are.
Average household weekly spending on fresh fruit.
Average weekly spending on confectionery, including chips, chocolate and ice-cream.
Average household weekly electricity bill.
Average household weekly spending on using a public phone.
Average weekly spending on Christmas decorations.
Average weekly punt on scratchies.
Average weekly spending on petrol.
Average weekly fees paid to health and fitness clubs.
Average weekly charges for paid television.

THE Diplomatic Corps of the Philippines on Friday committed to help the Philippines rebuild from the ruins left by calamities that befell the country last year.
Papal Nuncio Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto, the dean of the Diplomatic Corps, said the whole world wishes to console and to help Filipinos recover from the tragedies.
"The Diplomatic Corps sincerely vows to help in rebuilding something that is even better than what was destroyed," Pinto said in his toast at the annual Vin d'Honneur at Malacañang Palace.
Also, the Papal Nuncio proposed a toast to a New Year of "peace and greater prosperity" for the Filipino people and for the well-being of President Benigno Aquino III.
He lamented the events of the last few months, including the magnitude-7.2 quake last October that hit Central Visayas, including Bohol - known for its historic churches.
The Papal Nuncio likewise noted the devastation brought by super typhoon "Yolanda" (Haiyan) last November.
Yet, he said this was where the Filipino people showed their strength.
"When faced with this tragedy, the Filipino people reacted with the strength of their character and their faith. Victims and rescuers became members of the same family. The whole world wished to help, to console, to rebuild. And just as in previous calamities, you Mr. President, paved the way for local and international solidarity," he said.
On the other hand, the Papal Nuncio cited the signing between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front of the annex on power sharing of the Framework Agreement on Bangsamoro also gives new hope.
"This is the work of peace. Peace is the essential infrastructure that permits us to build even in the midst of ruin, or better still, from the ruin, It illuminates the path towards the realization or legitimate aspirations of a nation," he said.
"May God grant his abundant blessings on this New Year 2014. Manigong Bagong Taon. Mabuhay!" he added. (PND)

We have all seen athletes do 'christian' signs and symbols on the playing field or court. If anyone has turned on the news they have seen these obvious moments of elation when the athlete is successful in their quest. We have another example in the Christian Post as Mr. Curry's wife makes the following statement:
But something remarkable happened during overtime that the Golden State Warriors point guard's wife believes was a part of God's plan. (http://www.christianpost.com/news/steph-currys-wife-says-god-in-control-overtime-game-4-win-163720/)
Mr. Curry's wife is happy that her husband achieved another record and won another game but to say that God made it that way is saying something that is very difficult to verify because if God is helping the believer on one team, why is he not helping the believer on the opponent's team? Sure they may have disobeyed somewhere in their life and defeat in a big game is their punishment but what about the sins of the believers on the winning side? Are they ignored by God because God decided to play favorites?
Then we must ask, if we are not to follow unbelievers, does God give athletes a pass on those instructions as we read Mr. Curry's comment:
"I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on by doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is why I play the game," the Golden State Warriors' point guard told USA Today Sports back in April
Does God allow athletes to disobey his word and still reward them for their disobedience. Those men mentioned are not Christians and they are not an example for believers to follow, no matter how talented they are yet here we have a wife saying God helped someone who disobeyed him.This sends a confusing message to those who read these type of articles.
We have written on Tim Tebow in the past and his habit to kneel in prayer every time he scores a touchdown. He is not the only Christian athlete who does this. Albert Pujols does it after hitting a home run as do many, many other athletes. We commented in that article that we do not see these Christians kneel in prayer when something goes wrong nor tell the reporter that they asked God what they did wrong, when they failed to achieve their objective.
They make it look like God is only on their side when they score and that God wants them to win the game. We cannot speak for God here and say that he always wants his people to win and that he will aid their efforts. I am sure he does if the athlete lives the biblical life correctly. There may be a verse or two stating this but we cannot think of them at this time, though we are sure if God is going to do that he is qualifying those promises with instructions that we remain blameless sin our sporting activities and do not follow the unbeliever or look to them for guidance,
God is not going to help us succeed if we sin and do not obey his word. he has shown that far too often and yet some Christian athletes fail to learn that lesson. In sports and in life, God wants his people to obey his word even if they do not have games go their way or have the shots fall as one would like to see.He is more interested in his athletes practicing what they say they believe than in on field moments of christian symbolism.
There are characteristics that are far more important for the Christian athlete to instill in their lives than kneeling in prayer in jubilation after scoring a touchdown. Characteristics like humbleness, modesty, gratefulness, meekness and so on. These characteristics make a far more lasting impression on the unbelieving world than a quick hypocritical kneeling in prayer after hitting that home run or other sports achievements. We say hypocritical because we do not see those acts of Christian symbolism when those athletes fail or make a very bad play. We do need to thank God even when things go wrong because those moments of failure allow us to learn from our mistakes and see if we did disobey God somewhere and we can make the correction.
Athletes are one group of people who are in danger of grooming a haughty spirit and they need to be careful that they do not go that route, and those acts of Christian belief on the field do not necessarily hinder that development but possibly aid it. Then to say that God was in control and aided one believer's team over another believer's team is not humbleness, and so on but possibly mis-stating the chain of event that were involved in the game. We need to be sure of our statements because we may be insulting believers on the other side who have kept God's way in their lives and do not deserve to lose the game.
Here is a link to another story that makes us question the involvement of God in a basketball game:
The attitudes depicted in that article, if correctly recorded, make us cringe and wonder about the depth of the people's christian faith. Our case in point:
Curry's personal inspiration to play professional basketball comes from an unlikely source: a desire to keep the sport held in high esteem. The Christian Post previously reported Curry as saying, "I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game."
Really. We thought you were to play for the glory of God not for the esteem of the game or to further the agenda of those who do not believe.Christian athletes need solid biblical teaching just like evangelists and other talented believers do. They need real spiritual food so that they know how to act correctly before, during and after the game. We cannot let them be spiritually vulnerable as the sports world carries with it heavy temptation like the political world does and our athletes need to be properly prepared and discouraged from being hypocritical or practicing a cheap form of the faith.
The Christian testimony makes an impact, whether good or bad, on the court and off it and our Christian athletes need the right training to avoid making a bad impact. They also need proper instruction on how to speak to the press and others as words can harm a witness as well, as we see by the above quote and by the words of Mrs. Curry. God wants us to be the light unto the world and that desire include the sports world so we need our people involved in sports to be truly Christian and not of the secular part of the sports world or the compromised aspect of the faith.

Home Again, Home Again
I am home from my 2,000 mile driving tour of the Urban South, with a mountain of research, an allergic reaction to moldy documents, and quite a bit of exhaustion.
Friday my boyfriend met me in Atlanta and we toured the World of Coca Cola... or, as we like to call it, the shrine of American economic global imperialism. It was kind of like Disneyland, only all about Coke. Then we drove to Memphis, and let it be known that Atlanta traffic is worse than Houston (not sure how that is possible, particularly since Atlanta is a quarter of the size).
We spent the weekends visiting with friends who may as well be family, that I hadn't really seen in 2 years. We went to the zoo, Beale Street, and the Civil Rights Museum, like any good tourists.
I remembered at the beginning of my trip that one of my research subjects has papers in Little Rock, so we stopped there on the way home. There was a gold mine of correspondence, in particular.
My brain is still swimming from everything I encountered and thought about on the road, particularly in regards to how I need to better connect the "ivory tower"-ness of my dissertation project with the actual reality of daily life. If race and gender issues are what I'm trying to uncover in my research, I need to do me more intentional about being a part of the process of unification and equality. More on this later, I'm sure.

Image: The Delano's roof top spa; Aqua.
There are many dimensions to Miami's magnificence. One of them, is the City's extensive portfolio of uber-luxurious spas. So what does Miami (aka: Spa Central) have to offer those seeking a meditative and rejuvenating escape from the daily grind?
Let's take a look at this first installment of Spa Central:
Image: Spa at the Ritz Carlton South Beach
- The Ritz Carlton has three locations in Miami – South Beach, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne. Each one has a signature spa:
"Escape to a sanctuary that offers an elite menu of La Maison de Beauté Carita treatments alongside an extensive menu of European wellness and beauty rituals, including Prada Beauty skin care therapies. The Ritz-Carlton Spa at South Beach was named the best day spa in Miami by Allure magazine and features 14-treatment rooms, a "Power Shower" with 23 body sprays, luxurious relaxation lounges, a full-service salon and two couple's suites."
- The Delano has the renown Agua Spa located on the hotel's roof:
"The Agua Spa is a serenely beautiful and peaceful space that offers state-of-the-art spa treatments aimed at rejuvenating the body, mind and spirit. Housed in a pristine white setting, with miles of sheer billowing curtains, an enormous private terrace and 360-degree views, Agua is the ultimate sanctuary."
- The Shore Club pitches in with their own rooftop spa:
"We invite you to visit our beautiful rooftop retreat – a 8,000 sq. foot full-featured facility within the serene Zen-like atmosphere of teak and warm-toned materials includes wet and dry treatment rooms, outdoor terraces and massage decks, and exclusive products. Indulge in magnificent ocean views as you rejuvenate Yin Yang energies and replenish natural body rhythms."
Image: rendering of the Fontainebleau spa
- The Fontainebleau (currently undergoing a $1 billion expansion) is perhaps the most exciting addition to the Spa Central portfolio:
"Unique experiences will include the Rain Tunnel, a simulated icy creek bed with refreshing pre-treatment scrub/mud specialty showers. The Grand Whirlpool will include a central water feature and underwater sound. The Liquidrom is a thermal bath of body-temperature saline water. Iced Creek, containing pebbles, ice cubes and salts, will flow through all wet treatment areas with seating areas for foot soaking.
At this five-star, two-story, 40.000 sq ft spa guests will find 33 treatment rooms, comprised of 21 massage rooms, six facial rooms, two wet/dry treatment rooms, two couple's massage suites and two deluxe Fontainebleau spa suites with Vichy shower. "
Image: rendering of the Canyon Ranch Spa
- Canyon Ranch certainly offers the most notable spa in Miami. The world renown wellness institution's most ambitious project to date is its Miami Beach development:
"Enjoy legendary Canyon Ranch spa treatments in an atmosphere of tranquil beauty. Refresh with the ultimate spa experience in the advanced therapeutic AquavanaSM, the first complete European thermal suite of its kind in the U.S. The treatments, or Kurs, are drawn from the mineral-rich thermal waters of Europe and have a profound effect on body and soul. If you prefer, choose an outdoor massage for its natural delights."
Image: The spa at the Setai
- The Setai's spa was rated among the best in the U.S. by Forbes:
"A haven of serenity and natural beauty, The Spa at The Setai opens the door to an intimate private world dedicated to the restoration of the body, mind and soul. The philosophy behind this very special spa is derived from an ancient Sanskrit legend of the gods, who embarked on a quest for a natural elixir of immortality and eternal youth. Today, the unique and exotic treatments of The Spa at The Setai reflect this legend, bringing the healing spirit and traditions of the east to South Beach."
- The planned W South Beach will add another top class spa option in case the prior ones are unsatisfactory. Here are the offerings:
Away ® at Home: In-home spa services and Resident program
Sweat ®: State-of-the-art fitness club featuring the latest strength and aerobics equipment, personal training, free weights, yoga, pilates and sauna
Bliss Spa™: take a personal retreat anytime at the 5,000 square foot world famous spa
Image: Acqualina Spa
- The Acqualina is home to their excessively luxurious own spa retreat, ESPA:
"Ground-breaking in design and cutting-edge in spa innovation, ESPA at Acqualina – the first of its kind in the United States – offers ESPA's celebrated treatments including the latest facials, advanced massages and Ayurvedic experiences. The luxurious two-story spa overlooks the glistening Atlantic Ocean and provide guests and outside clients alike with a stimulating sanctuary and thoughtful amenities."
Image: Spa suite at the Mandarin Oriental
- The Brickell Key Mandarin Oriental's spa is aiming to be on the forbes list with its NYC counterpart:
"The 15,000 square-foot (1,394 square meters) Spa is an award-winning sanctuary. It features 17 private treatment rooms, including six stunning VIP suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay. We've used exotic textures in its construction, like bamboo, rice paper, glass and natural linens, to achieve an ambiance of total harmony. It's the perfect place in which to indulge in our holistic treatments that blend elements and ancient wisdoms from around the world."
- The Spa at Grove Isle is at the forefront of relaxation with their SpaTerre:
"The apex of relaxation on the island, SpaTerre is the resort's nexus for healing and soothing, and uses many of the herbs, minerals and essential elements indigenous to the area. Indonesian, Thai and Balinese influences are also present in this organic oasis, which offers a full line of body treatments, salon services, facial care, spa rituals, massage therapies and one of the few Watsu massage pools on the Eastern Seaboard."
To be continued.

The Plan: I'm going to play the Assassin's Creed games, slightly out of order, (2, 1, Brotherhood, Revelations) and I'm going to write about it; hopefully quite a bit. I plan on playing each game to completion and, furthermore, I swear to not refer the franchise at any point as "AssCreed" or "AssBro" or any other Ass related abbreviation. Well, starting now. I guess...
I'm pretty sure this is the game
As I said, I'm starting with 2. The reasoning behind this is basically that: First, I played 1 quite some time ago and second, I actually want to do this. Starting at 1 reduces the chances of me completing this project immensely. From what I recall it was a fairly repetitive game and I gave up somewhere about halfway through despite enjoying what was, at the time, very fresh and original gameplay. Parkour was catching on and mapping buttons to body parts, while not new, was certainly a welcome design choice. Plus, stabbin' dudes. But I digress. If I were to try to pick up and play Assassin's Creed The First, I would certainly grow tired of it much more quickly and be less inclined to continue onward.
The next post will include my impressions of the first few hours of the game. Expect a good deal on PC gaming as well, as I feel that it's important to get some things out of the way rather early about why I'm playing through these games on PC (with a Dual Shock 3 controller) as opposed to console and some of the drawbacks I've run into. As far as the game goes, I'll be doing my best to keep a close eye on the writing and dialog and getting a feel on how it changes from game to game, staff to staff, general gameplay annoyances/funtimes, and hopefully some things that are going on slightly deeper beneath the surface.
So yeah, there you have it. Let's have fun.

This paper uses a governance theory framework to analyse the introductory process for the private sector managing and operating the public water utility Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL). The analysis was performed from three standpoints: process inputs, process conduct and process outcomes. The consultation process on involvement of the private sector was hostile and resulted in a "light" form of private sector participation in the form of a management contract that can be considered a de facto compromise, although not deliberate, by stakeholders. The challenges in improving the water sector performance and water supply services are profound. Because of continuing institutional, social, political and legal constraints, the involvement of the private sector per se is not the solution to providing long-term improvement in water services. The article concludes that it is misleading to leapfrog from government to governance, calling for the transmission of a governance "recipe", as conceptualised in the Western context, and to assume that it can work in an unaccommodating institutional context.

It has not been a particularly good week. In fact, I've taken to calling it my "FAILcation."
Every day this week has involved someone being home from day care, whether due to illness, holiday or some other conflict. The van was in the shop from Monday until Wednesday. As you've all noticed, the ice has made walking, the most mundane of daily activities, a task which requires hypervigilance. I've been able to work about a grand total of 12 hours this week, and right now I'm so frustrated I could just scream. (I won't, because the other folks working and studying here at Cafe Milo probably wouldn't appreciate being startled like that.)
The thing is, there's not much you can do about weeks like this. Kids get sick. Vans with 100K miles break down. The ice falls on the just and the unjust alike. Seems I've heard that somewhere before (psst: Matthew 5.43-45).
It's not fatalism to acknowledge that life will be life. If you think so, take a swing through the book of Ecclesiastes and see what the Teacher thinks about life. What I'm concerned with is this: is faith about getting out of unpleasant circumstances, or being able to live right in the midst of them?
See, here's the thing: faith is not about avoiding drudgery. It's certainly not a lot of fun to face the week Kristin and I have had, but praying for an escape from that feels more like praying to Santa Claus than to God. Faith and prayer are not about wish fulfillment; at least, not the kind of wish fulfillment that means running away from that which God has entrusted to us. Prayer is conversation with God about our lives, and faith is the power God gives to believe that the conversation is actually happening.
So I tell God, "Hey, it hasn't been an easy week."
"Yep. How are you holding up?"
"Not so great today. I'm frustrated, disappointed in myself, anxious about a lot of things and feeling like I'd rather just curl up in the basement and hide until spring."
"You know I can't let you do that, right? And that's not what you REALLY want anyway, is it?"
"I suppose not. It's just that I feel like the weather today: grey, icy, cold. I'm not sure I'm going to be a lot of good to anyone today."
"You might be surprised. Anyway, it's not about what you can do - it's about what I can do through you. I'll make sure what needs to happen, happens. You just trust in me and get back into the game. All right?"
"All right - but I'm telling you, what you get from me today might not be pretty."
"Like that's ever bothered me before?"
Faith, prayer and drudgery. As long as you have the first two, the last will never win.
Grace & peace

Cyber-Stalking and Bar Admission
There's an interesting panel on this topic (which we've touched on previously) scheduled for Saturday at the AALS:
Saturday, Jan. 9, 8:30-10:15 am: The First Amendment Meets Cyber-Stalking Meets Character and Fitness
Cyber-stalking and cyber-harassment have made their way to the legal academy. Some scholars say that on-line attacks constitute protected free speech. Other scholars say that this conduct is tortious and raises serious equality and civil rights concerns since internet stalking is often directed at women and minorities. But what about the character and fitness requirements that law students sitting for the bar must satisfy? Do law students who engage in harassment, smearing, and other such conduct (on Facebook, blogs, "Above the Law," etc.) raise fitness and professionalism issues? Is there a problem with law students using websites to make outrageous gender- or race-specific comments (often about other students or faculty members)? (See http://lawvibe.com/the-autoadmit-scandal-xoxoth/ .) Is this conduct beyond question as free speech or does this conduct raise character and fitness issues that law schools must address? Does the fact that it is technologically difficult to identify all abusive posters impact the calculus?
Deborah L. Rhode, Stanford Law School
Jack M. Balkin, Yale Law School
Brad Wendel, Cornell University School of Law
Lyrissa Lidsky, University of Florida, Levin College of Law
Danielle Citron, University of Maryland School of Law
Moderator: Elizabeth Nowicki, Boston Univ. School of Law, Tulane Law School
The standard First Amendment objections to such proposals are succinctly articulated by Professor Volokh (UCLA) here, though he does not, of course, characterize the speech at issue very precisely, let alone give examples. One might think a simple rule like, "No one shall be admitted to the Bar who repeatedly and with malicious intent posts on the Internet threats (implied or otherwise) of sexual violence against women" would not unduly impinge the marketplace of ideas. Admittedly, a standard like the one Professor Volokh purports to maintain for his blog--"I not only support but enthusiastically practice denial of access to our blog to people who say things that are vulgar or pointlessly rude or insulting"--would make a poor legal standard, but that, presumably, is not what anyone is proposing. (As an aside, I assume it will come as news to Ann Bartow, Marvin Jones, Ken Kress, and the many other law professors who have been subjected to vulgar, rude and insulting comments on Volokh's site that he practices any such "denial of access.") In any case, I expect this to be an interesting session and commend it to those in New Orleans.

Recent Interfaith Event - Annual World Sabbath: At this time of darkness and ignorance of Islamophobia, outreach more than any other time matters!
Despite, Imam Elahi's recent arrival from his overseas outreach and busy weekend schedule, he felt that it was necessary to be present from the Muslim community in the Annual Interfaith World Sabbath Occasion. Upon organizing alongside of the clergy of various faiths at the start of the event, one of the event organizers, Gail Katz asked Imam Elahi to call the audience to prayer on behalf of the Islamic Faith. Following the program, Imam had a chance to dialogue with participants including answering some brief questions. He was humbled by the encouraging words and feedback of those that he met.
Two parts of the program were shared by Imam Elahi- both impressed him the most about the program!
Follow More from Imam Elahi on Facebook: HERE!
" 1- When we clergy community of many faith traditions stood together and read this Interfaith Pledge:
We pledge ourselves this day in the name of all we hold holy, to raise our voices in the cause of peace. No longer shall we remain silent when armies march and children die, while dictators lay the blame on God. No longer shall we remain silent when religious and political leaders use religion as an excuse for bloodshed or claim faith as a reason for war. We shall raise our voices when prejudice and persecution are blamed on God. We shall raise our voices when scriptures are twisted. We shall build a world of tolerance, justice, faithfulness, and peace. We shall build a world where all may know that our faith calls us to be builders of peace, not makers of war. And this we pledge: Shalom, Salaam, Shanti, Peace
2- The other part that really impressed Imam a lot was the Selection performed by Children of Peace! So beautiful:
We are children of peace. We are the children of the world.
We are children of friendship. We are the children of the world.
We don't want war anymore. We are the children of the world.
We are children of justice. We are the children of the world.
We are children of compassion. We are the children of the world.
We are children of love. We are the children of the world."

Saints and Ain'ts
Yes, there are Baptist churches that do such things.
I always found it a very meaningful experience. We had already remembered those folks when we held their funeral or memorial services, but we focused on them then as individuals. All Saints' Day reminded us that our departed sisters and brothers were and are a part of our church family. It also reminded us that all of those who have gone before us constitute that great cloud—and after all these years it truly is a great cloud—of witnesses that surrounds us. You can't be a saint without being among the saints. It's the saints that come marching in, not the saint.
A saint is someone who's been sanctified, which means it's someone who's been made holy. The thing is, it's hard for us to know who's holy and who's not. Sister Bertha Better Than You (thanks, Ray Stevens) thinks she's holy, but she's actually holier-than-thou, which isn't the same thing. She's holy, to paraphrase, Mark Twain, in the worst sense of the word. Some people who think they're saints give saints a bad name. Some people think that the most ludicrous thing you could call them is "saints," which is in fact evidence that that's what they are. Some of the people that we judge to be holy really aren't. Some of those that we judge not to be holy actually are. We have low and shallow standards. We think not being bad is the same as being good. We judge a book by its cover.
We don't know what we're talking about. The truth is that only God really knows who's a saint and who isn't. I'll give you one little rhyme to keep in mind, though: if you think you're a saint, you most likely ain't.
The Gospel of Luke contains a couple of stories that should make us stop and think about what it means to be holy, or at least to be on the way to being holy. In the first (Luke 18:18-25), a rich ruler comes to Jesus wanting to know how he can inherit eternal life. He calls Jesus "Good Teacher," to which Jesus responds with "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." You might want to keep that in mind when you get to thinking that hey, maybe you are good after all.
Anyway, Jesus tells the man that he knows the commandments and the ruler says that he sure does. Why, he's kept all of them since he was just a little rich ruler. Jesus doesn't argue the point. I imagine the fellow really was good at not doing what he wasn't supposed to do. Instead, Jesus told him, "You lack one thing. Go sell everything you have and give the proceeds to the poor. That way you'll have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." The man went away with his possessions intact and his heart broken.
Everybody would have told you that man was saint. But he wasn't.
Then there's that famous wee little man, Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). Zacchaeus was rich, too, but he padded his portfolio by cheating the taxpayers out of their hard-earned money. He worked with the hated Roman occupiers of Israel. Everybody would have told you that he not only wasn't a saint but had no possibility of ever being one.
But when Jesus came to town, Zacchaeus wanted to see him. I guess he had heard that Jesus was a friend of sinners and if there was anything Zacchaeus knew about himself, it was that he was a sinner in need of a friend. He was so determined to see Jesus that he tossed his pride aside and went running down the road to get ahead of the crowd. Finding a climbable tree, he climbed it. You can imagine his neighbors pointing up and laughing at him. You can also imagine him not caring. When Jesus saw him up there, he told Zacchaeus to come on down because he just had to spend some time with him.
It had probably been years since anybody except other shady outcasts had shared a meal with Zacchaeus. But Jesus did. And Zacchaeus was glad to have him. As soon as Jesus accepted Zacchaeus and Zacchaeus accepted Jesus, the little big man started throwing his money out to anybody who would take it. "I'll give half of my stuff to the poor. If I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times what I bilked them out of."
You see the difference between Zacchaeus and the rich ruler, don't you? When Jesus challenged the ruler to sell his stuff and help out the poor, he couldn't and wouldn't do it. Zacchaeus, on the other hand, didn't have to be challenged. He just started sharing.
That's what love and grace will do to you.
My point here, though, is that everybody would have said the rich ruler was a saint. He kept his nose clean, he had a sterling reputation, and he was an upstanding citizen. But his heart was cold. His wealth (and no doubt the power that came with it) was more important to him than anything else, including God and people. Everybody would also have said that Zacchaeus was an irredeemable scoundrel. But when the love of Jesus sparked his heart, it erupted in a blaze of generosity and reconciliation.
So the next time you get to thinking that somebody's a saint or that somebody isn't, you might want to just go think about something else and leave that one to the good Lord.
When I was just starting out as a preacher, my father, the late, great Champ Ruffin, advised me, "Son, when you start doing funerals, don't feel like you have to preach everybody into heaven, 'cause everybody ain't going." I've since presided over hundreds of funerals. I've treated some of the deceased as if they were saints and I've hedged my bets on quite a few. Still, I once had a friend say to me, "Mike, I'm Methodist and you're Baptist, but I want you to preach my funeral. You can find something good to say about anybody."
I guess I can.
But saying it doesn't make it so . . .

Poem #179 - Worrying About the Haitians...
Like the iceberg.
How much lies beyond the curtain you cannot know
Until you throw off the cloak of the body
And fly in your mind.
Pure awareness are you…
So much heartache for so many souls
Their lives reduced to rubble.
All feel the pain from afar
For you live not in a bubble.
What happens to one, happens to all.
For all lives are intertwined.
When one feels pain, the rest do suffer
Until relief you can find.
Your earth it is fragile
Prone to cause and effect
Cataclysmic events
Make you stop and reflect.
When so many do suffer
Send your love and your prayer
And through all the misery
Know that God is still there
Those who've died feel no pain
They are now well protected
Place your focus and love
On those left so dejected.
In this way you can help
When all minds think as one
And with love and compassion
Do the work to be done.
3 comments:
A comforting and insightful poem today from the Council of Poets! I am not able to watch the news for long these days...the overwhelming sense of sadness is too great. "What happens to one, happens to all." Your poem expresses my feelings in a beautiful way reminding me to send love and prayers and to know that God is still there. "With love and compassion do the work to be done." Thank you, too, Suzanne!ReplyDelete
On to praying today and sending out the love and compassion to all who suffer and grieve...
I am astonished.ReplyDelete
Yes,this disaster in Haiti makes me think of the tsunami- the under water earthquake. These events are beyond anyone's control and ultimately rests in Gods hands.ReplyDelete
This "Cataclysmic" event echos around the world and makes you realize how precious and fragile life is.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Haitians and to those who are fiercely trying to help.

Do you ever feel so frustrated at your kids output? During one of Andrea's standardized tests her output scored around 30 points below her potential or her IQ. I was dumbfounded and extremely upset. I have tried so many things yet they don't address the heart of the issue. They don't teach Andrea how to be mindful of her work and how to critical of good work versus mediocre work.
Let me share with you 2 things I've tried one that did not really work as well as I would have wanted and one that has transformed our homeschooling tremendously.
Andrea has some fine-motor difficulties so writing is always somewhat of a pain point for us. Initially I would give her 5 pages of writing exercises a day. I saw though that she just basically rushed through the exercises just to finish them but still not learning the lesson that I had wanted her to learn. I then told her that we will only do one page a day...but it has to be perfect. If she submitted something that was poorly done then I will make her do another page. This sort of worked because she started giving me really great output...the problem was it didn't translate to excellent output in other things. I decided to try something else.
I decided to introduce the concept of effort. I told her that what matters most to me is that she exerts the best effort possible. I told her that effort is the only thing that will guarantee competence. I then showed her this effort meter I found online:
I printed this out and showed it to her. We discussed each level. I then pulled out a writing book she had completed. We went through every page and rated it based on the amount of effort she exerted. I pulled out her artworks and she rated those as well. When it was clear that we were on the same page when it comes to rating I sat down with her and asked her: "Honey, what level of effort do you think is acceptable for your homeschool?". We decided that right now, we will be happy with GOOD EFFORT. We will make that a habit then after 6 months we will try to go one level higher.
Since we have done this exercise Andrea has been going the extra mile in her work. For a few weeks before she would show me her work I would ask her "What effort did you put in this work?" and then she would run and make adjustments. But I haven't had to do that recently by God's grace.

The Latest: Canada sends soldiers to migrant border crossing
Thousands of migrants are fleeing the United States for Canada via a remote back road in upstate New York. The Canadians arrest the migrants as soon as they step across the border. But the migrants prefer to take a chance by seeking asylum in Canada rather than risk being deported from the United States. Canadian police have set up a reception center on their side of the border. It includes tents where migrants are processed before they are turned over to the government agency that handles their applications for refuge.

Read The 49 Page George Soros Playbook To 'Take Out Trump' Just Published By Marxist Attack Group Media Matters
EDITOR'S NOTE: In the 1950's, even just a passing whiff of the idea that you were somehow connected in any way to a Socialist, Communist or Marxist group meant the death of your career by being put on a "do not hire" blacklist. But in 2017, Socialism, Communism and Marxism have combined under one roof in the George Soros big money tent, and their target is the assassination – virtual or actual – of a duly elected American president. The name of this group is Media Matters, and they are the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party. Welcome to the new civil war.

28 April 2009
Pune, India
Addressing a press conference on Monday, Rajiv Yeravdekar, director, SCHC said, "The entry of a large number of national and international players in the health care sector in India has made the sector highly competitive, highlighting the need for professional managers at all levels. Inevitably, this has also resulted in diverting all attention towards the legal and statutory regulations governing various processes of this industry."
The SCHC has identified a number of subjects for debate and discussion to be conducted in the presence of experts in the field. Yash Paul Bhatia, president, Astron healthcare will speak on standardisation and accreditation in healthcare sector while Ramakanta Panda, vice-chairman, Asian Heart Institute, will address the topic on customer relationship management.
Yeravdekar said, "The recent case of Niketa Mehta has brought in the legal aspect of medical care to prime focus. Hence, a mix of lawyers and medical professionals will take on this discussion on laws relating to healthcare and try and fill the loopholes in the process."
Rajesh Tope, state minister of higher, technical and medical education and Shiv Kumar Sharma, commandant and dean of the Armed Forces Medical College will be the chief guests. Ram Jethamalani, former Union law minister, will also remain present.


text: Ryanair was life saver. I couldn't imagine coming to Dublin and not being able to travel and I am very thankful Ryanair offers all these cheap flights. I traveled to over 10 different places and I found everyone to be nicer and cooler Dublin. The places I was able to travel because of Ryanair was truly amazing. The places I traveled because of Ryanair were London, France, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Zurich, Rome, Barcelona, and Lisbon. I saw so much of Europe due to the fact that Ryanair is cheap and flies right out of Dublin, oh how lucky I am. Those places I traveled were truly amazing, everything I saw from the Berlin Wall to the Coliseum in Rome was unreal to me, I couldn't believe I was actually going and seeing all these places. Ryanair flights are tough but for the price you can't beat it and I would fly it in the states if it was that cheap. I can't wait to go home and show all my pictures to my family and friends, because I have so many from traveling all those places. Being in Dublin and flying with Ryanair allowed me to see some of Europe that I would have never dreamed of and am grateful for everything I saw while I was over here. Until next time.

Create Joomla script - form that will send out emails x days after entry
Bajet $30-250 USD
I need a form that will collect a person's first name, last name, and email address. The entry needs to be time stamped so future emails can be sent based on the time stamp.
The form should be a generic form that does NOT use our template.
When they need to be added to our acymailing mailing list. I need to configure this on the back end.
On the back end I need to be able to set up automated emails:
Send out an email x hours after the form is filled.
Send out an email x days after the form has been filled out.
Send out an email y days after the form has been filled out.
Send out an email z days after the form has been filled out.
Each email needs to add the persons First Name and Last Name as tags [FIRST] [LAST]
I need to assign which acymailing mailing lists new entries need to belong to.
I will need an export to .csv button that will export all records.
I need a button that will allow me to view the entries from newest to oldest.
We have been using google forms for this purpose, so I will need our excel list imported in so we can send emails to that list based on the google sheets timestamp.
This needs to be set up as a component so I can easily manage it.
You will need to show me a demo on your own test site.
The money will be released once the component is installed on our site and we can add information and send out emails without issues. Initial milestone will be set up for 1/2 the cost of the job and will not be released until the job is complete.
Emails have to be formatted to not get flagged in spam filters.
This should not rely on a cron job.
Ask all questions before bidding.

Column: He soars like Icarus; plummets like him, tooJanuary 22, 2014
By Scott Saalman
Last week, a coworker told me, "I really liked your last column. It was funny."
This surprised me. My columns are seldom praised except by mom, my fan. What mother isn't a fan of her child? I'm sure there's even a mom out there bragging to her hairdresser, "The warden called today. He said my sweet boy Johnny the Icepick plays well with others in Cell Block A."
To say I was pleased by the coworker's compliment is an understatement. I had to keep myself from having a Sally Field Oscar moment right before his very eyes: "You like me, right now, you really like me!" Still, I squinted at him suspiciously, wondering, "Mommy?"
What added to the moment's meaningfulness was he didn't work in my department. Unlike those in my own department with a moral obligation to say nice things about my stories (apparently they missed the memo about this directive long ago), this guy worked several departments away, so he had nothing to gain. His "I really liked your last column" was sincere.
Seldom do I receive unsolicited positive feedback like this, so when it does happen, I cherish the moment, add it to the scrapbook of my soul, dip my toes in my shallow pool of self-esteem. That's because more so than not, writing a newspaper column has led to humbling experiences.
I once did a public reading that drew so few people that my dad decided to sit five rows behind my mom — catty-corner, at that — just to, as he put it, "Make it look like more people were there."
I was recently introduced at a reading in Huntingburg as "Stan Saalman."
After I read an essay on the air for local TV station WJTS, General Manager Bill Potter told viewers, "That was Ed Walston reading . . ."
When I read at my high school last year, only two members of my graduating class came. Had they not been married to each other, there likely would've been only one to show up — the one I still owed money to for a cheap bottle of T.J. Swann we shared in '82 (a swell vintage year for Swann by the way).
When I first started writing humor columns for the college paper in the '80s, my intent was pure. I did not write for ego-strokes. I wrote for my muse. I wrote to release the art that burned from within. I wanted my words to resonate with others in all aspects of existence as a human being, to be a trusted chronicler of the human condition, to communicate my sense of the world for the betterment of my fellow man. Ah, who am I kidding? I wrote columns to get chicks. Hey, even the Beatles and The Band and The Stones admitted the same when asked why they became musicians. Unfortunately, it worked for them, not me. I was slow to realize that women want more than just words on paper; they also expect those words to be sung. Perhaps I should sing my columns (solely for the sake of art of course).
So, yes, it was nice to hear my coworker say, "I really liked your last column." True, he wasn't a chick, but at least someone other than mom said it.
My brain, so out of practice for praise, struggled with the right response to express my gratitude. His compliment hit me like a Taser gun. I was too stunned to speak. How I wanted to shower him with verbal flower petals of appreciation. The seconds felt like hours as I pulled myself up from the floor. Finally, I replied, "Thanks."
Had the coworker simply left it at that, said nothing more, I would've skipped down the hallway and did a little Irish jig, clicking my heels in midair. Unfortunately, before I could conjure the celebrative little leprechaun from within, he voiced an addendum: "I can relate to your column. I hate shopping at Walmart too."
Houston, we have a problem. My last column was not about Walmart, but it was the topic of Herald columnist Jason Recker's last column, headlined "For men, Walmart is the root canal of shopping."
He wasn't complimenting me. He was complimenting Jason.
The death whisper of Colonel Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now" came to mind, "The horror. The horror."
It was not the first time someone had complimented me on a Jason column. What's even worse is when someone tells me, "I really like Jason's column. He's my favorite." I've been told that twice to my face. I kid you not. Even mom is a Jason fan. If you love him so much, mom, why don't you just adopt him? I want to ask, locked in a fetal position.
Luckily, I maintain a level of maturity on this matter. Jason and I write for the same paper; I am a guest columnist, he is a full-time Herald staffer. It is not a competition. Still, Peyton Manning wouldn't want to be complimented for an Andrew Luck play. Am I right? Just saying.
Instead of falsely taking credit for Jason's Walmart column, I told the coworker the truth. He apologized.
"It's no big deal," I said, limply walking away.
Really. It's all cool. It is.
Who am I kidding?
Someone get me Johnny the Icepick!
Tell Johnny that Stan needs him. He'll understand.
