On the night of March 3, 2014, NBA player LeBron James of the Miami Heat scored a 61-point career-high against the Charlotte Bobcats. But not everyone was impressed. NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins went on a Twitter rant, downplaying LeBron's career night. He tweeted, "No denying he put on a shooting display. He was hot... But where is the defense? No close outs on defense, doubles were late, rotations were slow. It was too easy to score. At 54 years old, I could drop 40 on that defense."
While I have my own opinion on Wilkins' rant and analysis, in a nutshell, Wilkins was saying this: LeBron scored 61 not because he was unstoppable but because the defense was weak.
On this First Sunday of Lent, we read Mark's account of the temptation of Jesus on the mountain. This Gospel account teaches us some things on the reality of temptation. One thing with sin is that the temptation is not always strong but that, at times, our defenses are simply weak, sometimes even non-existent. And when our defenses are weak, "the tempter" will always have a career scoring night against us.
How do we fortify our defenses? First, through the defensive power of prayer. When the devil tempted Jesus, He was in a 40-day retreat in the desert. Prayer surrounds us with God's shield and protection. Second, through the defensive shield of God's Word. After each and every temptation, Jesus rebuked the devils' wiles by countering with a quote from Scriptures.
How do we resist the devil? How do we make him flee from us? It is by fortifying our inner fortress with the shield of God's Word. I end with an old sage advice: "Unless we have within us that which is above us (i.e., God and His Word), we will easily yield and fall to everything that is around us." I say it again, when our defenses are weak, "the tempter" will always have a career scoring night over us. Fr. Joel Jason
REFLECTION QUESTION: How much time do you invest for prayer and Scripture reading?
Surround me always, O Lord, with the shield of Your Word. Amen.

This was a paper I wrote for my Sexuality and Social Conflict course at the University of Hartford in Fall 2011.
Imagine you are outside of a Planned Parenthood, walking towards the entrance on a casual afternoon. You are greeted first by a mob of angry people, yelling and chanting against the murdering of innocent children. A woman is holding a sign that reads "Abortion is murder!" Another contains a picture of a 2-week-old fetus. A girl calmly walks up to you and says politely, "did you know that a baby begins growing fingernails after only 4 weeks?" Trying your best to ignore this, you walk inside. The waiting room is just like any other waiting room at any other physician's office, with an assortment of people: some of them looking anxious; others calm. On your left is a girl of only 18-years-old. She's a sex worker. She's there because during one of her sessions with a regular client, the condom broke, and she was impregnated. Not being able to afford to have a child, and feeling hopeless, she's deciding to get an abortion. On your right is a young, middle-class married couple. They have three kids and a beautiful home, but after an unintended pregnancy, they decide that they can't financially support another child, so they too decide to have an abortion. You sit down next to a middle-aged woman, who after long thought decided it was a big health risk for her to have a baby at 48-years-old. Overwhelmed, you think to yourself, "who is right?" Is it the people outside telling you that abortion is murder? Is it the 18-year-old sex worker? Are the decisions made by the married couple and the middle-aged woman responsible ones? You realize that maybe this whole abortion debate isn't just about abortion itself. The debate over abortion is underlined by the very complex subject of sexuality in society, and is shaped by discourse and multiple power structures within our society.
When one thinks of the word sex, it is often that we conjure thoughts and images of the biological makeup of what makes a male or a female, or the sexual act of reproduction. However, when we think of sexuality, we're often confronted with a myriad of thoughts, because although not everyone knows the actual depth and impact of the concept, most know that it's a pretty heavy subject. What's important to know is that sexuality is socially constructed, and as Jeffery Weekes describes it, sexuality is "a bundle of social phenomena that shape erotic life: laws, religion, norms and values, beliefs and ideologies, the social organization of reproduction, family life, identities, domestic arrangements, diseases, violence and love..." (Seidman 2011, p. 19). This social construction of reality creates a discourse about sexuality, which correlates with a number of different social issues on sexuality, shaping it and changing the discourse over time. Foucault explores how discourse about sexuality has changed throughout history and how it affects society as a whole and webs out to affect other aspects of a culture. One of the burning questions Foucault poses is "what led us to show, ostentatiously, that sex is something we hide, to say it is something we silence?" (p. 9). This silence he is implying not only affects the way we think about sex as a society, but it also affects the way we express political and economic power–and as Karl Marx would explain, economics play a leading role in shaping the discourse on sexuality throughout history. What I'm going to explore in this paper is not just how sexual expression has changed over time, but how sexuality has forged a strong connection with power, economics, science, and other aspects of a society mainly through the regulation of reproduction, feeding into the long and heated debate over abortion.
To begin to understand how sexuality has made an impact on societal issues throughout the 20th century and today, we must first look at the regulation of sex in colonial times and how it connects sexuality with power. Protestant settlers in the U.S. had a very distinct image of the "family unit," in which it was expected that sexual behavior only take place between a man and a woman that were married, and that sexual act had to be able to result in procreation. There were strict laws that made it illegal to engage in any sexual act outside of marriage and any sexual act that couldn't ultimately lead to procreation even within marriage (D'Emilio 1988). In this time, economics and sexuality took were tied together, and D'Emilio writes "as in other preindustrial societies, the family both produced and consumed almost all goods and services. Reproduction and production went hand in hand, for family survival in an agricultural economy depended on the labor of the children…" (D'Emilio 1988, p. 16). This idea relates very strongly to Foucault's analysis of webs of power and how they relate to sexuality. Puritans used the regulation of sex as a way to control the population and create wealth, and families were made as economic alliances. In a capitalist economy, sexuality is repressed in an attempt to "desexualize the work process and the body of laborers" (Seidman 2011, p. 5). According to Seidman, this is because "sexual impulses and desires are potentially disruptive of discipline [and] sexuality needs to be rigidly controlled" (p. 5). There was such a strong need to keep sexuality under wraps, that Foucault argues that it in turn increased the discourse on sexuality. The people were so concerned with maintaining power over sexual expression that the private was being urged to be made public through confessions. Puritans would easily talk about someone that they believed had broken the law, therefore making their sexuality public and demonizing them within the society. Foucault describes this phenomenon in The Repressive Hyopthesis when he explains that "sex was not something one simply judged; it was a thing one administered. It was in the nature of a public potential; it called for management procedures; it had to be taken charge of by analytical discourses" (Foucault 1978, p. 24).
What was very interesting about this connection between sexuality and economics was that changes in economics began to change discourse on sexuality. Many years later, the progression of the economy into a consumer economy had completely revamped the social expectations regarding sexuality, more specifically with the introduction of consumer advertising. It is known and studied now that there is a strong sexual presence in today's advertising, and that highly reflects our view on sexuality. As Seidman (2011) writes, "sex is no longer just a procreative or loving act, but a form of pleasure and self-expression" (p. 6). This change in discourse on sexuality through economics had a ripple effect and effected many other power structures in society. "These two competing visions of sex—sex as pleasure versus sex as danger, sex as something that needs all the help it can get to keep from running amok—have long histories in American thinking" (Luker 2006, p. 9). This division of sex had created multiple discourses, separating people within society and giving rise to many of the debates over sexuality, especially abortion. The binary of pure vs. corrupt suddenly meant different things to different people, and values varied from person to person. The injection of morality certainly changed discourse in the sense that this binary was purely expressed through speech. In Fischer's article, she writes "The speaker is trying to say something about themselves and their own sexual morality as much as they are saying something about someone else…and in this sense, sexual morality is not just about trying to control someone else's sex life, it is about claiming a morally superior position for oneself through stigmatizing others" (Seidman 2011, p. 39). Think about that in the terms of the pro-life side of the abortion debate. Are they really only concerned with the lives of the children, or are they mainly trying to assert their own values by putting down those who differ in them?
In the abortion debate today, there is a bill that is designed to outlaw abortion with the idea that "life begins at conception." What many people don't realize it that this umbrella phrase covers many types of hormonal birth control, and would outlaw them due to the fact that those types of birth control are designed to separate the egg and the sperm, and make for an environment that is not conducive to conception inside the uterus. With regard to this, the question I would like to pose is why, after all these years of being legal and widely used, is hormonal birth control on par with abortion? To explore this, I'll delve into the connection between sex and medicine, and the power struggles caused by the early debates of birth control.
In her article, Medicine and the Making of a Sexual Body, Celia Roberts claims that the "development of medical and scientific knowledge about sex has had profound global implications for how we experience our bodies and out sexual relationships, and indeed how many aspects of different societies operate" (Seidman 2011, p. 67). This medicalization of sex had a number of profound effects on the discourse of sexuality and its connections to power. Ultimately what the realm of science was trying to do was learn more about sexuality so they could better control it. In Sciencia Sexualis, Foucault elaborately describes how science had used confession as a way to gain unfiltered knowledge about sexuality. The idea of confession was brought into the act of medical examination, mainly through physicians and psychologists, and people were able to recreate sexual experiences and behavior through medical procedures that involved the recollection of memories, interrogation, hypnosis, etc (Foucault 1978). In this way, the realm of science and medicine merged with the realm of sexuality in order to better understand it and alter the power of the discourse. This ultimately led to the production and publication of knowledge regarding social hygiene and contraception, and it wasn't long before there were certain medications that could alter a woman's menstrual cycle and hormones. Although these medications were meant to be used to treat menstruation complications, there was one woman who brought it into light as one of the most widely distributed drugs today: hormonal birth control.
A woman by the name of Margaret Sanger worked as a nurse in 1912 in New York City, often working with very poor women who had health complications due to self-induced abortion and from becoming pregnant too many times (Wikipedia). Frustrated with the fact that these women had to deal with such issues, she became a very strong advocate for the development of the knowledge to control birth. Through her activism on birth control, she became increasingly interested in the idea of a hormonal birth control pill, and in the 1950's, during the age of medicine, she decided that she was going to do everything she could to produce the pill and make it available to all women (The Pill). In order to do this, however, she needed to change the discourse on sexuality and take advantage of power structures in order to reach the State. In order to help her reach her goal, she enlisted the help of two people who became major players in the birth control movement: physiologist Gregory Pincus, and gynecologist John Rock. Both Pincus and Rock embodied the power of Science and served as Sanger's connection to science in the ever-important webs of power. Not only did John Rock have a strong background in Science, but he also provided a powerful connection to the Church through his active involvement and high status within the Roman-catholic community. This was very important to the debate over birth control because he represented the women who were afraid to use birth control due to the Church's strict views on the matter, and because the Church was the strongest power that needed to be persuaded at the time, John Rock became the face of the Pill throughout the 1960's.
The different areas of power that the main advocates of the pill represented showed a very strategic use of power relations. Foucault (1978) makes an interesting point when he explains that "power is not something that is acquired, seized, or shared, something that one holds on to or allows to slip away; power is exercised from innumerable points, in the interplay of nonegalitarian and mobile relations (p. 94). What's important about this aspect of power is realizing that anyone has the capacity to express power, and it can come from anywhere. More importantly, Foucault explains that power comes from below, while many believe that it comes from below and "trickles down." Sanger, Rock, and Pincus expressed their power through discourse and through strategizing to work from the bottom to work their way up to reaching the State. This same idea of power relations is seen in the debate over abortion as well, as different sides battle to reach the state through their means of power.
It's evident throughout history that discourse about sexuality was shaped by a number of factors, and by understanding it we can get down to the issue at hand: abortion. Ultimately, there are two sides to the abortion debate that create an important dichotomy: the pro-life side, and the pro-choice side. The pro-life side universally deems abortion as morally wrong and unnatural, while the pro-choice side supports the woman's ability to make a decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. These two passionate sides to the argument were born out of a moral panic, as Professor Markson described as "occurring when something emerges that threatens societies views and customs." When we look at both sides of the debate, we can see that this debate isn't just about the fetuses, but about a number of different aspects to our culture that are being threatened; specifically: morality, gender roles, the binary of pure vs. corrupt, power relations, truth and knowledge, and private vs. public, etc. What's important about these issues coming into play is that these same aspects of society have been turning up throughout history, as was mentioned throughout this essay. In this sense, the issue over abortion brings to light the components on the discourse of sexuality seen today and in recent history.
That group of protestors standing outside of the Planned Parenthood clinic—those people represented the pro-life side of the debate. The main drive behind this side of the debate seems to be the issue of morality and the binary of pure vs. corrupt. Nancy L. Fischer makes an interesting argument in her article Purity and Pollution: Sex as a Moral Discourse with the idea that "sexual acts have no meaning in and of themselves—it is only the surrounding culture which gives sexual practices or the people who engage in them particular meaning" (Seidman 2011, p. 38). For a lot of the people on the pro-life side, their social construction of reality and morality are largely affected by the Church, which very strongly deems abortion as murder. This presence of the church on this side of the debate largely affects the webs of power within the issue, and the church uses legitimate authority to express its power. Legitimate authority occurs when the Church expresses legitimate knowledge, and simply by claiming truth they are claiming power. The Church deems abortion as wrong, so followers of the church are usually not inclined to question it. The Church in turn uses this power through discourse to influence the State, which in turn attempts to regulate abortion. If we look back to the debate over Birth Control, we can see many parallels with respect to the discourse regarding the resistance to the pill. In both movements, the moral and religious values of many people are being deeply threatened, which is why we see so much passion in the people resisting abortion. The pro-choice movement also sees their values being threatened, mostly with regard to their freedom. Here we see another strong parallel between the debate over birth control and the debate over abortion, because Sanger stood by her belief that women should have the freedom and the necessary means to control pregnancy if they so choose. For the pro-choice side, another strong idea that is being threatened is a woman's right to privacy, which is a strong aspect of many issues regarding health.
If you look back again to the waiting room inside the Planned Parenthood Clinic, you'll notice that each woman I described was different, and I did this to note a very important aspect of the abortion debate: that it's not only one type of women who get abortions. In her article Mis-conceptions About Unintended Pregnancy, Jennifer Reich explains that "about half of all pregnancies are unintended and 40 percent of these (or 22 percent of all pregnancies) end in abortion" (Seidman 2011, p. 187). She goes on to give many statistics that prove that there are many, many different types of women from different demographic and moral backgrounds that see abortion as a necessary option. "Of women who choose to terminate pregnancies, 56 percent are in their twenties; 61 percent already have one or more children; 67 percent have never married; 57 percent are economically disadvantaged; and 78 percent report a religious affiliation" (Seidman 2011, p. 187). Even if we look back to abortions performed when it was first beginning to be legalized, we see the same types of surprising results. An article published in a 1978 issue of the New York Times claimed that "In 1976…sixty five percent [of women obtaining abortions] were under 25 years old; 67 percent were white; 75 percent were unmarried and 48 percent had no other living children" (Brody, p. 1). While these statistics prove to be interesting and prove that abortion is not everything it's stigmatized to be, it also holds a connection to socio-economic class. I look again to a different article published in 1978 in the New York Times entitled "Abortion and the Middle Class." The author reports, "To the middle class, hence, abortion remains largely an abstraction, not a real, costly and personal tragedy. As a result, the weaker segments of society are left without allies or defense. The middle class has a responsibility to its conscience and to its own future free choice in the personal matter of abortion" (p. A22). That last sentence really caught my eye, in the sense that this article is implying that the middle class is really the only group of people that have a free choice when it comes to abortion, and that it is considered a personal matter.
So you're sitting in the waiting room of Planned Parenthood, recounting the history of sexuality and thinking about social construction of reality and how it relates to terminated pregnancies and graphic pictures of bloody fetuses. You finally realize that this debate is so much bigger than the definition of murder and whether it applies to abortion. CNN recently published an article titled "What if Abortion Was a Non-Issue?" It says, "I think it's a good guess that if we come to a new consensus about the status of women—absorbing and digesting the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the feminist revolution of the 1970s into a new dispensation more comfortable with both women's equality to men and their differences from men—disagreements over abortion will come to matter less" (Frum 2011, p. 3). While this may be true, the issue of abortion goes way beyond the feminist movement and lands directly into discourse on sexuality as a whole. Foucault (1978) states, "what sustains our eagerness to speak of sex in terms of repression is doubtless this opportunity to speak out against the powers that be, to utter truths and manifold pleasures; to pronounce a discourse that combines the fervor of knowledge, the determination to change the laws, and the longing for the garden of early delights" (p. 7). When we have so many people offering so many different discourses, we have many chains of power that are batting between multiple points of resistance. Each side of the abortion debate is essentially using rhetoric to push their discourse into the main power, the State. This constant changing of discourse over time has shaped the way society thinks about sexuality as it relates to science, economics, values, and so on. What we in turn end up doing throughout history is placing a current issue as the poster-child for the much larger debate on sexuality, which is largely what the debate over abortion represents. What many people wonder is if we will be able to free ourselves sexually and end the ever-present debate over sexuality, and Foucault offers an interesting interpretation of that question: "…we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost: nothing less than a transgression of laws, a lifting of prohibitions, an irruption of speech, a reinstating of pleasure within reality, and a whole new economy in the mechanisms of power will be required. For the least glimmer of truth is conditioned by politics" (Foucault 1978, p. 5).

Chevy Fails: Trailer-Loading Edition (Video)
Watching these hilarious Chevy fails will make you even more proud to be a Ford truck owner.
If there's one thing we never get tired of seeing, it's the many Chevy fails posted across the interwebs. If you ever get bored, simply do a quick search and you'll find hours of entertaining clips. So we decided to save you the trouble and highlight five of our favorite fails, specifically those that happen when Chevy owners try to load or haul stuff. Because when you have this much failure, you have to break it down into categories. Enjoy.
Our first clip is really a double Chevy fail, because it involves not one, but two Chevy trucks. It starts off innocently enough as the driver of this classic '58 Apache pickup drives onto the trailer, but things quickly de-escalate from there.
First he pulls too far forward and nails the front of the trailer. And then, in hilariously slow fashion, the truck rolls back before he stalls it. Despite his helper's feeble attempt at keeping the old truck from rolling off, it does and makes a series of nasty crunching noises on the way down.
Number two might in fact be number one. This time, our trailer loading duo wisely use a pair of ramps. But the old Chevy is loaded down with heavy tires. And it doesn't help that the Dodge hooked up to the trailer appears to be in gear. Or maybe they just forgot to set the emergency brake. Either way, the driverless Dodge gets pushed into a pole in one of the biggest fails you'll ever see.
Here we have a classic case of the wrong tool for the wrong job. This big tired Chevy is clearly too big for the little trailer underneath, but these geniuses decided to rectify their clearance issues with a stack of 2×4's. What they get instead is one giant "F," for fail.
Do you own a snowmobile? This video will clearly show you how not to load it in the back of your truck. The driver gets a little too throttle happy here and just about jumps the entire Silverado. Instead, he crashes down on the roof and causes some serious damage.
Our last fail doesn't really involve a trailer, or the act of loading anything at all. Because our four wheel drive Silverado can't even back out of a muddy parking spot, you see. The guys in the video claim that bald tires are the culprit, but we're not so sure. Maybe it's just because it's a Chevy.

Walt: Write A Letter
Peak Camp
1 April 1915
Dear Mum & Dad
My life here is very good. I have made new friends and we like to play cards. I sleep in a trench. I sometimes play cards and when we finish doing that I cook for the soldiers. There are only Fifty cookers that cook for the soldiers.
The food that we eat here were chocolate, cake, tobacco and tinned food. Every soldier here ate one pound of meat, the same amount in bread and 8 ounces of vegetables each day.
I get very sick from the smell when we stay in the trenches. I hate it very much because there are rats as big as cats and the mud is very sticky. When it rains the mud sometimes comes onto my bed and my blanket and that get very stiff.
We always get ordered to wake up 2:30. We have to wake up very early because we have to get our stuff ready and walk to the next camp site. When we got there it was 4:30 so it was a one hour walk.
One day I had shooting practise and then the Germans attacked us. I almost got shot. There were like ten or twelve. Then I ran over and helped my friend. One of the New Zealanders were wounded and two were killed. We shot only ten and the other two retreated and went back to their trench.
How are my little brothers and and sister. I wish they are doing good at school. Can you tell nana I love her and to tell Watson to do good in school. I miss all of you and I hope I come back.
Your Loving Son

Problem Solving With Mrs Bina
Today I learnt maths with a different teacher. Her name was Mrs Bina and she is the maths facilitator in New Zealand. Mrs Bina is very smart. Mrs Bina put us into groups of three but one group had four. It was difficult. The problem that she gave to us was about fractions. I learnt that three fifteenths is also one fifth. The next thing I would like to learn is integers.

Trenches - Working In A Group
This is our trench that our team mead. the colour of the mud was brown and the sandbags are grey. We did this because we are studying the WW1.
When Tane, Koliata and I made a trench it was fun. We were good working in a group. The easy part was when we were making the trench with playdough. We planned in our book..The hard part was when we were painting it. In our trench we had food, gun, sandbags and grass. I think it is easy working in a group instead of working by yourself. The next thing I would like to learn is about the guns that they used in World War 1.

This year's professional version ought to be pretty awesome if you happen to be tooling around Manhattan near 5th Ave. around 12:50ish (or near your computer). The men's race features Bernard Lagat, Alan Webb and many others going after the crown. Men's bios here, women's bios here
You can watch live on LetsRun.com and NYRR (might be the same feed, not sure)
And good luck to everyone from Brooklyn who's racing the mile in many of the early races.

|Upcoming car is now done (thanks to trnaslate in the section translation for ducth, czech, portuguese and polish).
To do one, add a car, select upcoming cars in the category and that's all. You hadn't to put pics or engines for them if you hadn't. When the car was in sale, a member have to add all the engines and correct the informations like the other cars before changing the category of the car (example here upcoming cars will be change in SUV). And it will be automatically translate in the corect section (road car or race car)

Sometime in early spring of 2015, VMA had a night out at Knuckleheads to go see The Reverend Horton Heat. To our delight, the opening band The Red Elvises, was incredible! We took a quick peek at their website and decided we should help! If Igor and Red Elvises aren't in the middle of a tour, they are getting ready for the next one – this is a group that is constantly in motion and consistently evolving. Singer, songwriter, guitarist and showman extraordinaire Igor Yuzov is perpetually globetrotting and in the process he has found scores of wildly talented, entertaining musicians to bring into the fold of this increasingly international party band. Red Elvises started as a Russian group, playing what they dubbed "Siberian Surf Rock". Since then the band has included musicians from many other countries including United States, Israel, Puerto Rico and Bulgaria, to name just a few. Old and new fans alike can expect to be surprised at shows again and again, however the roots of Red Elvises remain the same: Igor's unique brand of humor combined with guitar based rock'n'roll that makes audiences want to sing, dance, scream and shout.

The Malaysian under-23 men's football team finally arrived in Vientiane at noon Tuesday for the Laos SEA Games after their flight could not take off on Monday due to clearance problems. They took off at 8.00am from the Subang Air Force base.
It is realiably learnt that FAM was not able to get the proper landing clearance in time for the flight to take off. The chartered plane belongs to the military.
Officials were surprised at the way the arrangements were made. At first the whole team mwere booked to fly on Air Asia but FAM asked for a change, but later wanted to fly with the commercial airline again.
Having lost a day already, the team would be doing light training before their opening match in Group A against Timor Leste tomorrow at 3pm (Malaysian time 4) at the newly built national stadium.
Malaysia's second match will be against Vietnam on Sunday, Cambodia on Dec 8 and defending champions Thailand on Dec 11. Hopefully their return travel arrangements have been properly done.
All the matches will be played at the National Stadium except the match against Cambodia, which will be played at the Chao Anouvong Stadium. Group B comprises Laos, Myanmar, Singapore and Indonesia.
Don't doubt what you believe. Doubts are meant to be doubted. Beliefs are meant to be believed.

Uncle Jow, I did not know that our military are in the business of chatering planes? Is this allowed under the Department of Civil Aviation regulations. By the Military am I correct to say that it is the Royal Malaysian Air Force or does the plane belomgs to another body. Does the athletes have insurance coverage in this trip?ReplyDelete
I am aware that the Malaysian Goverment have access to the use of the planes to fly Mercy Mission, like what happened during the recent earthquate in Padang and also the Tsunami in Ache.
If the arrangement is much cheaper perhaps you can inform OCM of the next available means of transport.

Page 29: Make Like a Banana Atom and Split
I'm fairly sure that "bizzle fizzle" is real slang.
It's night time, incidentally. I realized as I was posting this that it might look more like they're in outer space, since the night sky pictures are all images of space taken from, like, Hubble and stuff, but no, it's just night.

Dangit, we were so close. We had one post left, and we would have been completely caught up. It would have been a new age- an age of pictures from the same month they were taken. Alas, it was not to be. A new level of laziness kicked in, and we stopped posting, and now we are behind again. Argh.
This is from about six weeks ago, the Thai embassy does a giant cultural festival once a year. We missed it last year, as it happened after we had just gotten here and were still settling in. We heard it was great though, so we definitely made a note to make it next time. That time was now. When the announcement came out, we noticed that the Sri Lanken embassy was also having a cultural festival the day before. So we decided to make it an Asian cultural weekend.
Canberra does a really cool thing with its Embassies, that because its such a small, open city with land to spare, it lets countires build their embassies in whatever fashion they want, usually reflecting their cultural heritage. For instance, the US Embassy looks like Williamsburg, and the Japanese embassy has a giant rock garden in front. Its kind of fun. However, not all countries can afford/want to do that, so a lot just buy existing units- Sri Lanka is one of those countries. The embassy, below, is not the most exciting thing to drive by.
Back behind it was where the magic happened. It was a pretty low-key affair with a few food booths and a couple stands where you could buy a few trinkets and Ceylon Tea. We bought a lot of the tea, it was fantastic. But as anyone knows, you go to these things for the food, and the food alone. Part of the fun for us for going to the Sri Lankan food fair, was that we had no idea what Sri Lankan food was. Presumably, it was similar to Indian.
This is a hopper. Its a kind of crispy rice and coconut milk paddy cooked in a wok with a fried egg at the bottom. It comes with several sides, a chili paste, a chicken curry, and some kind of onion-y salad. Oh my god, it was amazing- hoppers, where have you been all of my life. Bob, Tina- we've since found a Sri Lankan restaurant that does friday night Hoppers. We're totally taking you there.
We also got a mix plate of finger foods. Also very good. The food was similar to Indian, as we expected, but it has an almost Thai-style influence that makes it just a little bit different . . . and delicious. As you can tell from Laurel's coat, we were still coming out of winter at the time.
The Sri Lankan fair was relatively small, I got the impression it was all friends and families of the Embassy and Sri Lankan community. Very quaint, very nice. The Thai Festival, by comparison, was GIGANTIC. Here's the embassy below- they definitely went for local flair in building it.
They also had corporate sponsorship. I think every Thai restaurant in town (and there are a lot) had a booth selling food, and here's a picture of the guy unloading the palette of Singha beer. Since Singha is clearly the best Asian beer, Greg was pretty happy. Also, Greg will hear no arguments on Singha's superiorty? Sapporro? Please.
Like we said, giant. Stands everywhere, shopping, people everywhere. Delcious Thai food too, although we didn't take any pictures of it. we were too busy eating it. That, and, it was really hard to find a place to stand where you weren't in someone's way.
It also featured thai dancers and musicians.
And a samll exhibit!
All in all, a great weekend. We want to find some schedule for when the Embassies do their respective festivals so we can make this a regular thing. Its a ton of fun, and great eating!

Angelini Alimentari is the casual, all-day sister restaurant to Angelini Osteria - one of the best pasta spots in LA. But don't come to Alimentari expecting a plate of tortellini at lunch hour. Instead, you'll find salads, sandwiches (the meatball sub is a must), great coffee, and perhaps the best gelato we've had in Los Angeles. Its excellent outdoor patio doesn't hurt either.

Jan Tschichold is exactly right in the sense that type is everywhere. Shoved in our faces on a day to day basis. Because of this, modern society has adapted to reading things quickly and getting ideas out at a faster glance. Being able to captivate that first glance is what I, as a designer, am after.
A bold realization that Tschichold has made is that the "ornamental facade" of buildings have been lost and through time and have been produced only to fulfill it's worth and purpose of having people occupying the building.
The responsibly of a typographer is an important one. Type needs to be legible; the engagement of size and weight, the use of a grid, photography, and color should be not just interesting but cohesive. Also, paying attention to the reader is important. Will the reading understand how and in which direction to read the text? I enjoy how Tschichold says that left to right, top to bottom, and all of the regular ways to read is "not a law".
"Standard solutions" are boring. They are expected and do not pull the reader to explore more about the composition and text. Being able to come up with a "fresh and original intellectual approach is needed". Any respected artist or persons doesn't go with the norm. Designing with flair or difference makes things more interesting.

I was walking to work this morning, as every single day, when it started raining. And for once I was prepared.
It was quite sunny when I woke up, actually, but when I checked the weather forecast at breakfast I saw that rain was on the way, so I took an umbrella, which I almost never do. Around 9.15am, while I was half way to the office it started to pour down and out of the blue all Londoners, me included, took their umbrellas out of their bags and opened them. It was fascinating to see how normal that gesture was. When I was in Pescara, I got used to cleaning all the sand off my feet after a long stroll at the beach; here, in London, I got used to opening an umbrella nonchalantly :)
And then I focussed on the variety of brollies and believe me, I saw it all: bright colours, dots, stripes, flowers, skulls, leopard prints...the range of umbrellas mirrors the range of individuals in London completely. My umbrella, which is in fact Rob's, is so dull: black with a dark wood handle. That's not me for sure!
This lovely umbrella has been on my wish list for quite a while now, perhaps it's time I take a trip to Orla Kiely!
P.S. Speaking of rain, have you see the Renault *Kiss my Glass* campaing? I think it's hilarious!

I made this (poor) graphic last year to describe what I saw as the "next thing".
At the dawn of the public internet the broadcasting industry generally shrugged and watched from the sidelines. Slowly (first red triangle) the industry began to port TV material to the web, but as Terry Heaton and others accurately observed, "the web is not TV."
Once there was critical mass (large numbers of people) broadcasters came running in at full speed and tried to catch up, or a least level the playing field (first green arrow).
Then "social" happened. Shrug. More and more people. Catch up. Lather, rinse, repeat.
We are just now starting to climb the next hill, which is going to be an effort to take back some of the losses to digital natives. One good example is pictures, and the chaos that surrounds ownership and permissions.
I saw this article from Marketing Land go by in my News Feed announcing Facebook Media. H/T to Sarah Hill for posting. If you dig into the Facebook marketing material the best practices are carefully crafted to explain how Facebook is helping your efforts…..while using Facebook, of course.
I'm excited. I'm always interested in what is over the next hill. We will see if we have given up too much. If you start up the hill first, you won't have to dodge the rocks kicked loose by those ahead of you. ("Look out below!")

On the daily chart we can see a long bearish candlestick yesterday.
So we can assume that the downtrend will continue but the Downtrend was Stopped at the SMA200 at 1.6223.
We can see in Asia Session that price is bounce up again rely on the SMA200 as support.
If price action break down the SMA200, the bearish trend will continue, if not the price will go up again testing daily Pivot at 1.6313 or at 1.6277 (DDFX own resistance) if not it may go down until 1.6177.
Overall sentiment are bearish.

These Questions were asked by Miss Dashwood at Yet Another Period Drama Blog
1 - What was the first JA novel you ever read, and who introduced you to it? Well, I believe the first of Jane Austen's works that I read was Sense & Sensibility. I remember that the first one I was acquainted with was Pride & Prejudice. But it was the 1995 film with my older sisters, not a book. I soon afterward learned about the book and found S & S at the library while looking for anything by JA.
2 - What is your least favorite JA novel and why?
Well, I am currently in a love-hate relationship with Northanger Abbey. I have a hard time liking Catherine. Though I love Henry Tilney's wonderful wit.
3 - Who do you think is the funniest character JA ever created?
Intentionally funny, Henry Tilney, unintentionally Mrs. Bennett (by unintentionally I mean the character doesn't intend to be funny, we know that every funny character was intended to be funny by JA)
4 - Which JA villain[ess] do you love to hate?
I abhor Mary Crawford. But who I turly love to hate, well, he isn't usually considered a villain. Frank Churchill. I absolutely despise this man! And as he is the closest Emma comes to a villain, I think he counts.
5 - Whats your favorite JA quote?
( I have two, they are not from her novels)
I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.
Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
6 - If you were to "start" someone on JA, which book would you recommend to them first, and why? Persuasion, generally because it is shorter then others. But in special occasions I would pick a fairly accurate film adaptation and suggest that.
7 - What is your absolute favorite JA film adaptation and why? I have only seen the most recent of adaptations of Persuasion, though I wish to see the 1995 film, I do believe I like it best.
8 - If you could authorize a new film adaptation of one of JA's novels, which would it be, and why? Northanger Abbey, because I felt like the one that I've seen dwelt a little too much on the, ahem, "sensational" novels that she read. But I might also enjoy an accurate adaptation of Mansfield Park.
9 - Which JA character do you most identify with? I suppose Anne Elliot, though not in the "pining after my love when all hope is gone" way. Just how she is not nonsensical, she does what needs to be done. And she defers from Elinor Dashwood in that she isn't very self sacrificing, (ex. Staying home with her nephew to avoid a certain gentlemen, while looking like she is doing it for some one else benefit)
10 - If you could have lunch with JA today, what question would you most like to ask her? Well, I would ask her one of these two. Did she fall in love with an older man? (think Col. Brandon, Mr. Knightley) What is Col. Brandon's first name?
11 - Is there any one thing you think could have been improved upon in one (or all) of JA's books? What is it and why? Certain proposal scenes should have included dialogue. Like, Mansfield Park, Sense & Sensibility, Northanger Abbey. Because I like dialogue.
12 - If you had lunch with one of JA's characters today, who would it be and why? Depending on my mood, if I'm feeling sarcastic, Eliza Bennett, quiet then Fanny Price. No! I've got it! Henry Tilney. I would be sure to be amused. And I would never have to worry about offending with my sarcasm.
13 - (optional) whay is Miss Dashwood so fond of asking "why"? Because she enjoys answers with "good strong words that mean something" (Jo, Little Women) not measly yes or no answers.

We're All Out HERE. Some more than others. Not the meaning of life. Not even close. What, you were expecting the answer?
Why New York City's Iconic Pizza Is So Tough to Replicate
It costs $482.79 to get a decent pizza in San Francisco — $17 for the pie, $85 for cab fare, and $378.80 for the flight to New York. Throw in $1.99 for tinfoil.
Pizza may have been invented in Italy, but it was perfected in New York City.
"New York has a grand tradition of pizza making and holds it dear," Batali says. Which means institutions like Arturo's have been using the same equipment for decades. "An oven captures the gestalt of beautifully cooked pizza. And it imparts that."
"I'd love to try an authentic NYC pizza - I think the closest in Edmonton would be Tony's Pizza - we need to go back there one of these days...."

Hi there...
So, it's been awhile since I've done anything truly substantial on here hasn't it?
I really think that that is about to change finally and I'll explain why - but first I want to try and convince you to click this link right here. CLICK ME!!!! REALLY!!! I"M GREAT!!! CLICK CLICK CLICK! It will just open up Windows Media Player, so go ahead and click it and it can just play in the background while you read on. It's a sermon by a Pastor Ryan at a church here that I've been going to. One of the best sermons I've heard - and I've heard a LOT of sermons in my lifetime - I'd rank this one into the top 10. So click it and listen why don't you?
So,, this blog here.... it's been a wonderful thing. As someone else recently commented about blogging - It's cheaper than therapy. And he's 100% right. I think it might even be more effective than therapy.
But part of my struggle with blogging lately is that.. well... you're here. No offense, truly. Every blogger wants someone reading their work and I'm no exception. But at some point I quit blogging for myself and I began talking to you. I began worrying about whether I was saying too much, talking about too many struggles, showing all my many colors both bright and dark, whether I came off too goodie goodie, too crazy crazy, or whether my thoughts were relevant to you.
So, I still welcome your comments (it's like a surprise gift on a day that's not your birthday), and your e-mails - but for the most part I'm going back to what this blog was originally intended for, and honestly the writings which caused it to grow some in the first place before I focused too much on you.
This is a good change, and I think you'll find you enjoy it as well... eventually. Introspective writing is what I love best, and I've just been afraid of what I might be introspecting on you all.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and make some powerful and wonderful decisions for the coming new year and it's typical changes. God is great.

This day I choose to spend in perfect peace…
The choice for perfect peace is the choice for perfect happiness. The Course tells us that choice for happiness is the choice to desire constancy by giving up inconsistency. It says that if our state of happiness is inconsistent in our experience, it is because we have not truly asked for happiness. Choosing peace means we keep no conflict for ourselves, believing that defense and/or self protection is necessary.
But rather that we judge not what surfaces up on the still water of mind given over to Spirit, having faith that forgiveness and purification are in process. Happiness; peace and joy are our indicator states that we have held nothing back. The course also tells us that it is not required that we have no thoughts that are not pure, only that we have none that we would keep….
So, today, we choose to spend in perfect peace and by making no decisions by ourselves, meaning we invite the Holy Spirit to decide for God for us, with each thing that arises, and a day of perfect peace is guaranteed. Sounds ridiculously simple doesn't it? (Complexity is of the ego ~ not God)
We must desire God's Will for happiness for us ~well because it is His Will, without which we would not have even come into being. This means we include all and exclude none within our love, whether we realize it by its form or not… Just because our imagination got stuck in the repetitive broken record of mis-identification, doesn't mean we're stuck… We are one wholehearted choice from perfect peace… but we must choose it wholeheartedly… Choose once again…
I have been truly blessed to realize a consistent state of peace and joy through constant communion with Spirit… And what I see around me is that within every situation, relationship, or even minor encounter resides the call of peace, for peace.
My view is as the witness, the dreamer of the dream, which is a state where peace the continuous state of mind, demonstrates that a constant choice for peace is possible,
It is by my decision~
This day I choose to spend in perfect peace…
When we are willing, through grace, to surrender every moment to the guidance of Spirit, we are relieved of making decisions by our little selves; relieved from all worry about past and future, relieved of all guilt and the necessity to arrange for our well being, in the knowledge that our well being is taken care of, now. And that now is the only time.
The practice of the choice for peace and only for peace brings with it a state of joy as natural as to us as breathing… For it is our true identity as God' Son in constant communion with the Father:
"And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today."
