SOM has been appointed to work on the mixed-use 'transformation' of one of London's most maligned structures, the Elephant and Castle shopping centre
Designed by Boissenvain & Osmond, the 1965 shopping centre has been at the centre of controversy ever since plans for its demolition were scrapped earlier this year.
A cabinet meeting of Southwark Council approved an agreement with site owner St Modwen for the structure's mixed-use redevelopment yesterday (17 May).
SOM's plans, which remain under development, include creating residential towers above the building and enhancing its public realm.
Cabinet members were presented with concept images for the project yesterday, including alternative 'curvaceous' and 'blocky' schemes.
The agreement sounds the final death knell for plans to replace the centre with a 'shopping street' - part of an original Make-designed masterplan for the site.
The 1960s concrete structure will be stripped down to its 'very bare bones' and foundations as part of plans to create an 'unrecognisable' retail destination on the site according to the council.
Councillor Fiona Colley, Southwark cabinet member for regeneration said: 'This agreement is a major step to accelerate the transformation of the shopping centre, which could now happen within the next few years, rather than towards the end of the 15 year regeneration process which could otherwise have been the case.
'The current preferred approach involves retaining the core of the existing structure, but extending the buildings to provide additional high quality retail and residential space.
'The rebuilt centre would be unrecognisable compared to the current, much derided, buildings.'
The building is part of Southwark Council and Lend Lease's £1.5 billion redevelopment programme for the wider Elephant and Castle area, currently being re-masterplanned by Make.
Negotiations with key stakeholders are set to proceed, prior to a public consultation on SOM's scheme.

Absolution of the dead
This article's lead section does not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (November 2013)
The Absolution of the dead (or Absoute from the French) is a series of prayers for pardon and remission of sins that are a practice observed in some Christian religions over the body of a deceased believer before disposition. The practice is found in the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as in older forms of the Roman Catholic liturgy. Both religions use this practice to ask God not to have the deceased suffer for transgressions during life that they have repented or have been forgiven.
Roman Catholic practice[edit]
In the Catholic Church the Absolute are said over a deceased Catholic following a Requiem Mass and before burial. The absolution of the dead does not forgive sins or confer the sacramental absolution of the Sacrament of Penance. Rather, it is a series of prayers to God that the person's soul will not have to suffer the temporal punishment in purgatory due for sins which were forgiven during the person's life.
The absolution of the dead is only performed in context of the Extraordinary or Tridentine form Mass, but is absent from the funeral liturgy of the renewed Ordinary form Mass.
After the Requiem Mass has concluded, the celebrant removes the chasuble and puts on the black cope. The subdeacon, bearing the processional cross and accompanied by the acolytes, goes to the head of the coffin (i.e. facing the altar in the case of a layman, but between the coffin and the altar in the case of a priest), while the celebrant stands opposite at the foot. The assisting clergy are grouped around and the celebrant, who at once begin the prayer Non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, praying that the deceased "may deserve to escape the avenging judgment, who, whilst he lived, was marked with the seal of the holy Trinity". This is followed by the responsory Libera me Domine, which is sung by the choir.[1]
Then the celebrant says the Kyrie eleison aloud followed by the Our Father. While the Our Father is repeated in silence by all, the celebrant walks around the coffin, sprinkling it with holy water and bowing profoundly before the processional cross when he passes it. He then takes the thurible and incenses the coffin. Finally after finishing the Our Father and repeating one or two short versicles to which answer is made by the clergy, the celebrant pronounces the prayer of absolution, most commonly in the following form:
"O God, Whose attribute it is always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly present our prayers to Thee for the soul of Thy servant N. which Thou has this day called out of this world, beseeching Thee not to deliver it into the hands of the enemy, nor to forget it for ever, but to command Thy holy angels to receive it, and to bear it into paradise; that as it has believed and hoped in Thee it may be delivered from the pains of hell and inherit eternal life through Christ our Lord. Amen."[1]
Following the absolution, the body is taken out of the church while the choir sings the In paradisum.
If the body is not present, or on other occasions such as All Souls' Day or Requiem Masses on the anniversary of death, a catafalque or bier covered by a black pall may stand in the place of the body for the absolution. If a catafalque is not available, a black pall may be laid on the floor to stand in place the body.
Eastern Orthodox practice[edit]
In the Eastern Orthodox Church the Prayer of Absolution is written out on a piece of paper. After the singing of Memory eternal at the end of an Orthodox funeral, the prayer is read by the bishop or priest presiding over the funeral, or by the deceased's spiritual father. He stands near the coffin and, facing the deceased, reads the prayer:
- Our Lord Jesus Christ, by His divine grace, as also by the gift of the power vouchsafed unto His holy Disciples and Apostles, that they should bind and loose the sins of men: (For He said unto them: Receive ye the Holy Spirit: Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted; and whosesoever sins ye retain they are retained. And whatsoever ye shall bind or loose upon earth shall be bound or loosed also in heaven.) By that same power, also, transmitted unto us from them, this my spiritual child, N., is absolved, through me, unworthy though I be, from all things wherein, as mortal, he (she) hath sinned against God, whether in word, or deed, or thought, and with all his (her) senses, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, whether wittingly or through ignorance. If he (she) be under the ban or excommunication of a bishop, or of a Priest; or hath incurred the curse of his (her) father or mother; or hath fallen under his (her) own curse; or hath sinned by any oath; or hath been bound, as man, by any sins whatsoever, but hath repented him (her) thereof, with contrition of heart: he (she) is now absolved from all those faults and bonds. May all those things which have proceeded from the weakness of his (her) mortal nature be consigned to oblivion and be remitted unto him (her); Through His loving-kindness; through the prayers of our most holy, and blessed, and glorious Lady, the Mother of our Lord and ever-virgin Mary; of the holy, glorious and all-laudable Apostles and of all the Saints. Amen.
The paper is then rolled up and placed in the hand of the departed.
The Prayer of Absolution is understood as the means by which "the Church remits all the departed's transgressions, absolves him from all obligations, all pledges or oaths, and sends him off in peace into life everlasting."[2] However, as is clear from the text of the prayer, it is intended only to forgive those sins which the departed had repented of during his or her lifetime.
The reading of the Prayer of Absolution is a more recent practice and replaces the older (and shorter) Parting Prayer:[3]:392
- May the Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who gave His divine commands to His holy Disciples and Apostles, that they should bind and loose the sins of the fallen (we, in turn, having received from them the right to do the same) pardon thee, O spiritual child, all thy deeds done amiss in this life, both voluntary and involuntary: Now, and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Funerals of children[edit]
The Prayer of Absolution is not read in the Funeral for a Child (a special funeral used for children under the age of seven), since such young children are not generally held to be morally responsible for their sins, but is replaced by the following prayer:
- O Lord, Who guardest little children in this present life, and hast prepared for them in the life which is to come a spacious place, even Abraham's bosom, and angelic abodes brightly radiant which befit their purity, wherein the souls of the righteous dwell: Do Thou, the same Lord Christ, receive the soul of Thy servant, the child, N., with peace. For thou hast said: Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. For unto Thee are due all glory, honour and worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now, and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.[3]:433–4

Colombo, Sri Lanka -- A top Sri Lankan Buddhist monk legislator admitted for the first time his all-monks party had been mistaken to enter politics, but stopped short of quitting the legislature where it has nine crucial seats.
Monk Uduwe Dhammaloka (photo) told reporters here on Sunday that he realised the monks could have done more for the people of Sri Lanka had they stayed clear of politics and concentrated on their theological work. "Monks can do better by not joining political parties," Dhammaloka said. "The climate is not conducive for monks to enter politics. It is corrupt."
His National Heritage Party, or JHU, the first-ever all-monk party to contest a poll, won nine seats at the April parliamentary elections. Some followers believe the highly photogenic 37-year-old Dhammaloka is a future Buddha, and many fall at his feet in reverence. He became a monk at the age of 10 and his charisma has helped pull large crowds to his meetings.
Last year, he led the monks' campaign to enter politics. "There is no bar in Buddhism to prevent monks entering politics," he told AFP in an interview last year. "When there were threats to the nation, monks even went to the battlefield." However, on Sunday he wanted to ensure that monks never enter politics again.
"We opened a door (for monks) to enter politics, but we will leave after firmly shutting it to ensure that monks will not enter politics again," Dhammaloka said. The JHU last month agreed to support the candidature of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse who is contesting the presidency at the November 17 election.
Rajapakse is campaigning on a nationalistic plank while his main opponent Ranil Wickremesinghe is seeking broader national consensus. Dhammaloka declined to say if he will quit parliament after agreeing with critics that the clergy should be above politics.
The monks were also involved in a brawl in parliament at the time of the vote for a speaker last year. Nearly 70 percent of the country's 19.5 million population are followers of Buddhism and the clergy has a considerable influence, especially among the rural electorate.

Growing your puppy correctly
There can be many benefits of feeding a raw biologically appropriate diet to your dogs, but the first and most obvious benefit is in the words 'biologically appropriate' (BA)
By feeding your dog a BA raw diet, you are supporting and fueling a system that functions best when it is processing food matter that this species was actually designed to process.
A puppy grows so rapidly that there is very little time to ensure that the foundations of health which are laid down in puppyhood will be good enough to see him through life.
When we feed commercial food, to a growing pup, we could very easily compromise the natural growth rate.
Why does this happen? Isn't that just hype?
................Well no it's not just hype, it is a scientific fact.
So why and how could a commercial diet cause damage to a growing puppy?
To understand this a little more we have to look more closely at the way a puppy might process a commercial diet and then compare that with the way he would process a BA raw diet.
We must look at what is available to the puppy from either diet; and in what form it is presented and we must then look at the science behind the digestion of either diet and the impact it could have.
All food provides fuel and energy, even the dreaded commercial.
The huge advantage of feeding a BA raw diet to your pup is that it will contain little or no carbohydrates. The pup's energy source will come from protein from meat and fat.
When a pup is fed a commercial diet its energy source will probably include a lot of carbohydrates
When a pup is fed a BA raw diet, the protein is from meat and fat instead of carbohydrates, this slows the growth rate down to normal, and does not put excess strain and pressure on growing joints from a body mass that has grown too heavy for its support system - ie the dog's bones.
Pups who are fed a lot of carbohydrates on the other hand may well become fat and too heavy for their bones, this could cause damage and deformaties.
A BA raw diet contains fewer calories ounce for ounce than commercial brands of dog food.
So what else is important?
Your puppy's bone growth is influenced by the amount or more specifically the ratio between his Calcium & Phosphorus intake and the source of these...........
Again........we are back to those two words ''biologically appropriate'' When your pup is fed his own species appropriate diet which has been biologically designed by Mother Nature specifically for his individual species, the work is done for us.
A diet made up of raw meat and bones including all the vital elements and fed in the recommeded breakdown;
70-80%meat:10-20% bones:10% organ meat
........ comes with maths included, the calcium/phosphorus ratio present in our prey model, or the prey we are 'building' using all the important parts, is correct and more forgiving if we feed a little more of this, or a little more of that.
Many owners feed this diet their own way and that is absolutely fine. Some stick to the 'text book' recommendation of only 10% bone, some opt for the higher end of the scale and feed 20% or more.
As with anything too much of a good thing is never good. A bone consumption in a raw diet that exceeds 25% could again disrupt the balance of nutrients sufficiently enough for this to have an effect on your dog's health.
Again the meat content can be maipulated, with plenty of room for manouever within the allowed 70-80%.
The ratio of organ meat however should be observed and the 'text book' recommendation of 10% should be followed. The reason for this is organ meats, especially liver if fed in larger quantities can upset the balance of Calcium to Phosphorus in your pup's system. Liver is very high in Phosphorus, amongst other things and contains much more than ordinary meat. See HERE to read more about Liver.
When we feed our puppy with a commercial brand of food anything which has been added to that concoction will also be cooked at very high temperatures, effectively reducing its potency and added to this, it will probably not come from great natural and useable source, like the calcium and phosphorus which occurs in a raw diet....................
Some guy in a white coat somewhere - who thinks that it's fine to feed our carnivores on carbs will also have no problem estimating the artificial addition of minerals to the mix. Suddenly the white coats have replaced Mother Nature...........suddenly our dogs are suffering............
So now not only does your puppy have to suffer artificial food, he now also has to deal with artificial extras !
In many cases the carnivore cannot process and efficiently digest the source of the energy (ie carbs) in commercial dog food - regardless of this it is still used - do you really trust that the source of mineral added to the concoction is going to be any better?.................
Minerals fed in correct balance are an extremely important part of your pup's nutritional requirements for growth rate to remain correct.
Minerals, fed in the wrong balance or wrong presentation can have a catastrophic effect on growing bones.
A BA raw diet provides all the minerals required by your pup to grow, but let's focus on two very important ones associated with growth :
Calcium & Phosphorus
Nutritional requirements and biological systems work best when they are in harmony with one another......not at odds.
The defficiency or over adundance of one vital element can very often affect another.
When Calcium and Phosphorus are sourced from a BA raw diet, the dog's system completely embraces the presentation; the growth of the pup's bones fuelled by energy sourced from the protein of raw meat..... that same meat providing natural phosphurus and the inclusion of raw bone providing calcium, we create a growth system that is correct and sound.
Phosphorus is found in abundance in organ meat and in much lower quantities in muscle meats. Phosphorus directly assists your pup's bone growth and is responsible for maintaining strong and healthy bones.
Calcium is found in abundance is raw bone, bone also contains a little phosphorus, the meatier the bone, the more phosphorus is present. By feeding the less meaty bones, you are providing more calcium.
Here you can see the approximate Calcium and Phospohrus levels of several BA raw food products.

|53 mg
|191 mg
|Egg yolks 2 large 34 g
|44 mg
| 133 mg
|Egg whites 2 large 66 g
|5 mg
|10 mg
By keeping your dog's raw diet inside the acceptable breakdown -
70-80% meat : 10-20% bone: 10% organ meat
The Calcium and Phosphorus ratios will work themselves out, provided you do not feed extreme amounts of egg, fish or organ meats, which could disrupt the natural balance this diet achieves.
See HERE for recommendations on how often to feed them.
When we feed commercially, we are taking the chance that the manufacturer has estimated the quantities of these vital minerals correctly and the source of them is something your puppy can actually process efficiently.
Also it is aparently very difficult to obtain a true picture when a chemical analysis is made of commercial dog foods. This is because the results will show the mineral levels present - regardless of their source and how useful and obtainable they actually are to the dog. If he cannot process and digest enough of the minerals which appear to be correct in analysis, he risks a defficiency of one or the other and the relationship between the calcium and phosphprus and the very important job they do in growing your pup's bone and muscle growth will be compromised.
If calcium levels are too high, especially in large breed puppies bone growth is affected. Deformaties such as Hip Dysplasia can occcur.
If Phosphorus levels are too high then Calcium levels will become too low, this will result in the puppy drawing Calcium from it's own bones, which could result in bones breaking very easily.

Another Southern California based HVAC company is joining forces with Goettl Air to become another branch of the award winning business, according to BizJournal where the article was originally released. Walton's Heating and Air is a family owned business with similar values and family background. The current owner Todd Longbrake took the family business as far as it could go, but it was still struggling.
A couple years ago Chief Executive Officer of Goettl Kenneth Goodrich approached Walton's Heating and Air to purchase the company because he saw the potential in it. Longbrake was hesitant, but after hearing a lot of good comments from others in the HVAC field, he decided to budge. Since then the business has grown tenfold and continues to bring in more happy customers. Todd Longbrake was even hired on as a sales manager and field supervision. He is happy with his new role in the company and Goodrich has had only positive things to say about Longbrake noting that he instantly merged with the company and is a great leader. Check out Azcentral for more details.
The deal was finalized two years ago but was not announced until now due to a few kinks. There were operational issues and marketing complications that held up the announcement, but now Goettl is proud to say the they have acquired Walton's Heating and Air and are happy the serve the Southern California area. They already have lots of locations in Nevada, Arizona, and Southern California. They are planning to open more locations in Northern California and Texas. Goodrich said that Goettl is planning on becoming a nationwide brand. With this new acquisition Goettl will gain 200 more employees adding to 306 employees currently on board. With all this potential, success is inevitable. For more details visit Review Buzz.
Goettl is the premier heating and air conditioning company that puts their customers first. They offer heating and cooling, financing, duct sealing, geothermal, plumbing services, maintenance plans, HVAC units, and much more! Rated the best heating and air conditioning business in Arizona, Goettl is an industry leader.
It all started in 1926 when three brothers Adam, Bill, and John Goettl moved from Ohio to Arizona to start a new life during the Great Depression. By 1939 Goettl Air was born and was recognized even internationally for their innovation and technology. At one point they had over a hundred patents on the market. With their Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Goodrich leading the way, Goettl is making leaps and bounds in the HVAC industry.

Typhoons *are* very likely to happen through the whole month of september. (I remember, on sep 11th - hem - last year we had a bad one, killed 5 people IIRC.) The beginning of october is a lovely season in Japan, not yet the beginning of the touristic season (fall foliage begins at the end of october) but really nice. So, since the bad weather ends around the first week of october, and that the touristic (and thus expensive) season begins at the end of october, I definitely think it's better to have the meeting around oct 7. Better, but not mandatory. Regards, -- OlivierReceived on Thursday, 23 May 2002 11:52:16 UTC

*if squeezing seeds sounds a little strange and unfamiliar, here's a tiny primer: most commercial plant milks contain potentially harmful gums and emulsifiers (yikes) for thickening and shelf-stability, but it's easy enough to avoid those additives by making plant milks at home. if you're interested in learning how, take a look at beth's excellent tutorial. she provides recipes for different nut milk, but the process is the same for seed milks. i like using sunflower seeds because they are cheap and accessible — just about any decent bulk goods section will have hulled, unsalted sunflower seeds. in addition to saving money and skirting questionable food additives, making plant milks at home yields beautiful, nutrient and fiber-rich pulp which can be turned into all / sorts / of / things. try it in place of chickpeas to make a crazy delicious hummus or mix it with a few savory flavors to create this delicious, versatile cheese.
if you have trouble finding sunflower seeds in bulk locally, this 5-lb bag currently looks like the best deal on amazon.
- sunflower seed pulp (leftover from making milk with 2 cups sunflower seeds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons tamari
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- herbs, optional (fresh or dried parsley/thyme/oregano)
- spices, optional (ground chipotle/cayenne/paprika/cumin)
- savory additions, optional (garlic powder/onion powder/miso)
- put the sunflower seed pulp in a big bowl.
- trickle, drizzle, toss, and sprinkle the other ingredients in and mash together with a fork.
- taste it--is there enough of a pleasant, acidic bite? does it have enough salt? is it savory and flavorful enough? this stuff is so flexible and forgiving -- keep playing with it until you have something that tastes wonderfully umami with a bit of richness and tang.
the nutritional yeast enhances the cheesy, umami flavor, but feel free to leave it out if you don't have any.
serving ideas:
spread the cheese between two corn tortillas and heat in a frying pan till slightly crispy for a super simple quesadilla.
stuff it into burritos or crumble it on top of tacos.
mix a parsley-olive-oil-lemony version with some fresh, sweet onion and scoop it onto a bed of baby greens and cucumbers for a sunflower seed salad salad (like tuna salad salad, but with sunflower seeds).
sunflower seed cheese also bakes reasonably well (although the outside edges darken slightly), so it does pretty well as a stuffing for crepes or tortillas going for a stint in the oven with sauce overtop (manicotti / enchiladas).
play with the seasonings, too--with additions of garlic/parsley/olive oil, the cheese makes a great base for tons of veggies on a flatbread or pizza. it's good as a sandwich spread, too.

Ultimate Gymnastics' mission is to promote self-esteem and create self-confidence in children through the discipline of gymnastics. Our goal is to provide our gymnasts with an experience that will serve as a positive model to be followed as they meet challenging obstacles throughout life. We will not sacrifice a child's self worth in order to reach competitive goals. We believe that a
child's self worth is not based on their performance.
When selecting a gymnast's placement for our team program, a decision is based on where we believe she will be most safe and successful. Within each level, our gymnasts are expected to practice and perform at a higher standard than the minimum requirements at each level. Therefore, we are always training above and beyond each child's competitive level so that each child is given an equal opportunity to progress. As a gymnast progresses through the levels their work ethic and self motivation requirements increase. The coaches at each level work to encourage and motivate each gymnast to perform to their personal best.
If you want to be able to do your gymnastics skills when you return You must condition while you are gone! You should do 2 exercises for each body part every day!
|3 sets of 20 push ups – Elbows back
|3 sets of 45 Tuck & Hollows

Manoj responded--amidst boo's.
But when he was heard, it was with disinterest.
Rohit'd won the debate competition.
Manoj wasn't disappointed because he'd lost, but because he wasn't heard.
Rohit winked. "Now you know why I say I believe?"

Hello Anju ma'am!ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading.
Just in case, if you're new to the concept of 55 word fiction, I'd direct you to my blog's sidebar on the right side, where I've included the criteria to write 55-fiction. Basically, it requires one to write a COMPLETE story within 55 words. Of course, that's challenging for me.
This story doesn't have much to do with democracy in India. I'll elaborate upon the scenario:
Rohit and Manoj are two friends, and both are competitors in a debate competition on existence of God. So, Rohit blames Manoj of arrogance for not believing in God, and popular sentiment turns so much in favor of Rohit that nobody hears what Manoj had to say in response. Rohit wins the competition, and gives a hint to Manoj at the end that he pretends to believe in God only because everyone else seems to believe.
Hope this helps!
Being an atheist myself, I can totally relate to the message you are trying to convey. Nothing pisses me more when people use religion for their own personal benefits. They have made a business out of it.ReplyDelete
As usual, I did not understand this 55-er also completely. Thankfully understood the major portion except the last one "Now you know why I say I believe?". Nevertheless, improvement!ReplyDelete
This is absolutely brilliant Ketan!ReplyDelete
Manoj wasn't disappointed because he'd lost, but because he wasn't heard.
Oh, I wasn't knowing you were an atheist, and since you'd not commented on my earlier posts dealing much significantly with atheism, I thought, this could be a bit touchy issue for you! :D But well, good to know we could share a few certaing kind of jokes between--of course, just joking!
Yes, majority of people are not very well-versed with the art and science of argumenting (which of course, involves far too many things than just winning debates), and maybe so many are theists, and they just support whatever argument seems to support their stand. I too am not perfectly free of the last blame, though ;)
Ideally, I wanted to convey that the result was decided by voting, but it wasn't possible without removing a few literary devices. :(
You might find recent post ('Are (a few religious leaders atheists?') and the comments following it of interest.
Thanks for commenting!
Okay, now this is disappointing for me to know that you've been finding my 55ers difficulty to understand, but of course, I realize, there's a lot open to interpretation. You must be pretty busy, otherwise if you read my lines, I'd have explained the plot through them as was the case with this post :)
But yes, last line was the most difficult to explain. It (in particular, the "say" in it) stands for many things. Like Rohit, himself feels the same doubts as others, but doesn't raise them in public. Second, he feels safe in believing what the majority does. Third, he exploits the popular sentiment by accusing Manoj of arrogance fully knowing how it'd be unethical, but yet very beneficial to his motive of winning the debate.
Well, I consider this one as the worst 55er by me in terms of creativity involved. So, the "improvement" was on your part or mine? ;)
Sorry, a typo:
*"otherwise, if you'd read my comments", and not "my lines".
Hi and welcome back to the blog!
A lot of posts have been added since you last commented. :)
So, be my guest!
Thanks for your praise, but well I honestly think this post is the most shallow 55er I've done up till now--thought, typed (on phone) and posted in just 15 min.
The kind of irrationality I've tried to portray here's is fairly common, how people take debating personally, and raise 'loaded' questions, so as to say, and that doesn't happen just with the issue of atheism.
Thanks for visiting, and take care!

Wow! I like!ReplyDelete
Reminds me of that Cark Sagan book, Contact..
'believe' wud have been a better word, if it wasnt so grossly misused by ppl all the time..
'Believe' used in context of existence of God is not only about abusing and exploitation. It's also full of logical and sentimental inconsistencies. Logical inconsistencies are easier to understand. I'll talk of sentimental inconsistencies. Think of: "a dying cancer patient's fate was already determined by what deeds he did in the previous incarnation, which were in turn determined by what he did in one incarnation prior to that...whatever he did in his first incarnation was already predetermined. So, whatever you do and happens to you, you're merely a pawn in the hands of The Big One--part of some elaborate cosmic game only for his personal entertainment, the purpose of which you'll never understand!" How soothing! Sounds like music to ears! How's this any kind of opium or fentanyl or anything like that? This is the insignificance that people are so very eager to assume--I don't know why! And then they die and kill to make others accept the same insignificance. When people accept this most painful proposition that 'they're insignificant' by default, their whole lives they try to escape the actual acknowledgement of that insignificance, and end up doing things I've mentioned in my post--'communalism' only to protect their ego (as in a psychiatric term--feeling of self). They also brag, gossip, bitch about, insult, harm, try to gain popularity--all this only in attempt to indulence something and impress someone--only to momentarily escape that self-imposed curse of insignificance.
TUIB, I've provided a link to an article in my previous post, which will take around 2 hours to read, but I'm sure it'll be a great exercise for you to try reading and understanding it. I understand, you're busy, but you're unlikely to find a better summary of rigorous philosophical (as in the discipline of philosophy and logic) arguments on the issue for the lay reader anywhere else.
Thanks for the compliment, though this was my least creative 55er. Someday, for instance, if you actually find something written by me lacking in quality, absolutely do tell me, I'd be actually happy.
*"...all this only in attempt to influence something and impress someone"ReplyDelete
Sorry for that typo.
thanx for visiting my blog and leaving your valuable commentsReplyDelete
do visit again
Nice post man. Keep them coming!ReplyDelete
Nice post man. Keep them coming!ReplyDelete
Thanks, mgeek and welcome to the blog!ReplyDelete
Seems like, will have to try 'doubly' hard to keep them coming. ;)
Never mind, it just happens that comments get duplicated.
Take care.
what happened to Insanity personified??!! lolzReplyDelete
Well, that post had gone to show itself to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is recuperating in a morgue, and the post is back with a bang err bandage and your comment. ;)
I'll read that article on a Sunday when I also intend to check out those atheist blogs you've kindly linked to.ReplyDelete
But I liked this one the best. I'm a little stunned you call it your least creative.
You've read all my 55ers?
I called this the least creative 'cuz it has lesser play of words, very little shock element, not a lot of emotions, no anticlimax.
I really wasn't trying to be sensationalist when I said I find this the least creative one. :)
The one I consider the most creative one is 'Dog's death', and am proud of it partly because I don't consider myself good at that kind of cold writing.
The one that was supposed to emotionally most profound was 'conflict of realizations', but couldn't be because 55 words was too limiting.
Good observation. Democracy is abotu popular opinion, not the *right* one.ReplyDelete
And it does make me go mad at times... because they often reward the more mechanical and uncreative thinking.
Yet, I believe that creativity has its own happiness and often finds better ways to get what it really deserves.
Plus one thing more: I believe that although ppl believe what they wanna, yet they cannot ignore the truth, its this voice that is very important and must not die, in any case.
Thanks Ayushi for commenting, and welcome to the blog!ReplyDelete
Yes you're right about a kind of discomfort that knowing the possibility of truth to be different from one's personal belief brings. But it surprises and frustrates me at the same time, how much time, emotions and money could people invest in things they doubt to be merely fanciful, and then expect the very same fanciful things to be partial to them over and above all other fellow human beings. It's that kind hypocrisy that's most disgusting.
I've dealt with that concept, somewhat in jocular terms, in my another post--'Educational post'.
And people don't respect their above-mentioned doubts by giving them due consideration, but rather cling to their unfounded beliefs more tightly, 'cuz their upbringing would've convinced them that doubting the existence is a sin, and can land them up in trouble. It becomes a vicious cycle.
Well-articulated disagreement would be a very good indicator that I was understood, and would be appreciated more than perfunctory agreement or praise. But of course, you could agree and praise...

I'm sure I have many other early memories but the most vivid one that comes to mind is the one when I out my feet through a double glazed window!!
I'd been doing gymnastics at school nothing pro like just the climbing, slanted benches, ropes etc, so with that still in my mind I spent my evening pretending to do gymnastics at home we still had the old fashioned style double glazing were you could pull the second one across and you was able to take them out if you wanted to.
My mum had dad had a panel of it out, so being the genius that I am I thought why don't I lay it slanted down the side of mum and dads bed like the benches at school?
Ta'da perfect, with little jumps down until I made it to the bottom brilliant it works :)
Now lets try that a little harder 'bounce bounce bounce SMASH' oopps :/
I went straight through instead of screaming and crying I patiently waited for my mum and dad to come and find me blood all over their cream carpet and my legs dangling through the glass.
I remember everything as if it was yesterday heading to the hospital wrapped in a blanket and my feet elevated driving past my brother and he didn't even notice the little feet in the window, how the panel of glass sat in the garden waiting to be discarded.
I now have a scar on each foot where the glass had sliced and they'd had to cut further to retrieve the glass that was stuck in my foot, it's like a little smiley face right across the back of my heel and creeps the hell out of me if anyone touches it, even down to laying in bed with my feet pointing up and the other like a little maggot on the inside of my right heel.
Where were my parents your wondering?
I was meant to be in bed and I managed to do it all so quietly they didn't know/think any different.

We realize we are not the only place on the internet rating motorcycle roads - but the problem we've found with many of those other guys is that most of the ratings are done by submissions. The problem with that method is that everyone will expereince a road differently. One riders perfect motorcycle road is a trecherous near-death experience for another. In order to address this problem and realizing that all of this is extremely subjective, we've devised a simple (yet hopefully effective) two part rating system that we hope will help you find the kind of roads you prefer. If we list the road on this page, we feel its going to be a road worth riding, either for scenic or technical attributes - sometimes for both. On many of the other sites, we've seen "motorcycle" roads listed and rated poorly. If we list it, rest assured its going to be a road worthy of your attention.
The majority of Alberta is flat and desolate, but the western edge of this province houses some of the most epic mountainous terrain we've ever come across. As a result, the fantastic Banff National Park and Jasper National Park are here.
- AB-93 | Promenade des Glaciers Rating:1-B
British Columbia
North of Washington and Idaho, British Columbia has some of the most stunning scenery we've enjoyed. Crossing the border, the significantly lower population densities are immediately apparent, as is the tendency for Canadians to be friendlier and a bit more courteous. Combine this with glorious mountain ranges, endless seas of trees, spectacular coast lines and you have a recipe for some brilliant riding conditions.
- BC-6 | Nelson-Slocan Highway Rating:2-A
- BC-14/18 | Cowichan Lake Loop Rating:4-B
- BC-16 | Yellowhead Highway Rating:1-A
- BC-37A | Glacier Highway Rating:2-A
- BC-101 | Sunshine Coast Highway Rating:3-A
California has more epic motorcycle roads than any place else we've ridden. Continually we find more and more amazing roads, which prompts us to return every couple years to re-ride favorite routes and explore for new ones. A high motorcycle density means that the average car driver is more likely to see you compared to many other places we've ridden and legalized lane splitting makes this a favorite destination.
- CA-1A | Conzelman and Bunker Road Rating:4-A
- CA-1N | The Pacific Coast Highway - North Rating:4-C
- CA-1NW | The Lost Coast Rating:5-C
- CA-108 | Sonora Pass Rating:5-B
- CA-130 | Mount Hamilton Rating:5-C
- CA-236 | Big Basin Highway Rating:5-A
Colorado gets a lot of attention, but most of its terrain is so severe that the majority of roads are just cold, windswept and did we mention cold? The extreme elevation and subsequent harsh winters don't do much for road quality of the riding surface. However, there are some real gems in the state known for silver and gold. Here are a few of our favorites.
- CO-72/119 | Peak to Peak Highway Rating:4-C
- CO-141 | Unaweep Tabeguache Canyon Rating:2-B
- CO-550 | Million Dollar Highway Rating:4-B
Even though we've spent a lot of time riding Idaho, we've been very disappointed with the quality of roads there. Most of the memorable roads we've found are nearest Utah and Yellowstone and south of Coeur D'Alene. But that doesn't mean we'll stop looking for them.
- ID-12 | Lolo Pass Rating:2-A
- ID-34 | Tincup Canyon Rating:3-A
- ID-36 | Mink Creek Canyon Rating:4-B
- ID-75 | Sawtooth Scenic Byway Rating:2-B
- ID-93 | Salmon River Scenic Byway Rating:2-B
- ID-97 | Coeur D'Alene Lake Road Rating:4-B
Mountains would get in the way of being called Big Sky Country. The eastern half of the state does not offer much in the way of twisty roads, and there aren't really all that many twisty sections in the more mountainous western half either. But here are some of the highlights we've discovered.
- MT-FR-228 | West Koocanusa Lake Road Rating:4-B
- MT-FR-763/36 | Fortnine Wolf Creek Loop Rating:3-D
- MT-FR-22/470 | Yaak Valley/River Road Rating:4-B
- MT-FR-508/68 | Yaak Valley/Pipe Creek Loop Rating:4-C
- MT-37 | Lake Koocanusa Scenic Byway Rating:1-B
- MT-49/89 | Looking Glass Hill Road Rating:4-D
- MT-212 | Beartooth Pass Rating:5-C
Everything from epic Pacific Coastal roads to craggy mountain passes. Oregon offers a great deal of wondrous riding opportunities, made even better since legislation that required gas station workers to spill gas all over your bike when ever you needed fuel has relaxed over the last ten years.
- OR-NF-3240 | West Evans Creek Road Rating:5-C
- OR-20 | Middle Fork Road Rating:3-B
- OR-32-30F | East Evans Creek Road Rating:5-B
- OR-207 | Service Creek-Mitchell Highway Rating:3-B
- OR-242 | McKenzie Highway Rating:4-A
- OR-402 | Kimberly Long Creek Highway Rating:3-B
South Dakota
Typically when one thinks of South Dakota in relationship to motorcycles, thoughts of leather vest clad cruisers comes to mind, but there is a reason why America's biggest motorcycle rally takes place in the Black Hills.
- SD-14/85 | Spearfish Canyon Road Rating:2-A
- SD-16/87 | Norbeck Scenic Byway Rating:5-A
- SD-87 | Custer State Park Wildlife Loop Rating:4-A
While much of the state is mostly flat, with mostly straight roads, there are a few golden morsels that are both desolate and wrought with fast sweeping corners. Utah doesn't get the credit for high-mountain passes like Colorado because most of these mountain roads crest just shy of the magic 10,000 feet of elevation. So you can expect severe weather, snow into July, and cooler temperatures on those hot summer afternoons. Most roads don't open until Memorial Day weekend and close at the first sight of snow. Here are a few of our favorites.
- UT-12 | Journey Through Time Byway Rating:3-C
- UT-14 | Cedar Canyon Rating:3-B
- UT-15 | Nebo Loop Rating:5-D
- UT-25 | Fishlake Loop Road Rating:4-B
- UT-35 | Wolfcreek Pass Rating:3-A

Spending most of our time in the land-locked, high desert state means that trips to the coast a far and few between but always special. We don't hide that we go out of our way to find time to head to the ocean at every opportunity. While Washington is one of the harder states for us to visit because of its distance from, we've still managed to find quite a few great roads - mostly along the coast, but we've come across quite a few pretty good in-land routes as well.
- WA-20 | North Cascades Highway Rating:2-B
- WA-31-A | Sullivan Lake Loop Rating:3-B
- WA-112/113 | Bunt Mountain Road Rating:5-B
A state famous for its sage brush, wind and overall flatness has a handful of pretty great canyon roads. More than one would expect anyway - just ignore the fact that most of Wyoming's great canyon roads are adjacent to other states.
- WY-14/20/16 | Sylvan Pass / North Fork Rating:3-A
- WY-14-A | Medicine Wheel Passage Rating:2-C
- WY-20 | Dunraven Pass Rating:4-A

One of the easiest ways to review an album, for the benefit of those who have never heard it, is to compare it to albums that have "come before." When you are talking about Paul McCartney, how can you really say his work is derivative from the likes of Beck's Sea Change or Radiohead's OK Computer? After all, wasn't Sir Paul the originator of lushly orchestrated, melodically groundbreaking pop? For those longing for a return to the late Beatle/early solo days of Macca, the songs on this album will surely be a treat. For those wishing that Sir Paul wouldn't totally revert to old recording techniques, the soundstage that producer Nigel Godrich sets will reassure you that he (Paul) still knows a good thing (Godrich) when he hears it. My bias for Godrich notwithstanding (easily my favorite producer from the half-decade or so), The marriage of PM's simple yet effective musicianship, real string arrangements, and Godrich's careful use of effects makes for a sonic treat worth owning in hard-copy form. Download it if you wish, but for the most part, the rich production will suffer.
Song Highlights:
- Fine Line, while not the hardest rocking track on the album, is a good opener, with lyrics written from the point of view of father-figure.
- On How Kind of You, the listener first gets hints of Godrich's work, with the instrumental breaks sounding very similar to material found on Beck's Sea Change.
- Jenny Wren, quite simply, will have most adult listeners recalling with fondness the first time they ever heard Blackbird. The warm full tone of the acoustic guitar and melodic meandering might also remind a few listeners of Phil Keaggy, although many would argue that Sir Paul invented the sound.
- At the Mercy comes out of left-field with a sideways melody, but it soon settles into a more comfortable groove. This track features the first appearance of Jason Falkner (electric guitar), ex-Jellyfish guitarist and McCartney-like father figure to the LA underground pop scene. (more bias showing through - my Desert Island albums list contains Falkner's debut album)
- Friends to Go doesn't particularly blaze any new ground, but it's a solid Beatle-y offering from The Beatle.
- English Tea is a toy of a song, although a well crafted one. Think For No One meets CSNY's Our House.
- Too Much Rain is another feel good lyric, but it may be one of the album's weaker songs.
- When The Beatles first showed up in the early 60's their recordings at times had a latin feel (remember their take on Besame Mucho? how about And I Love Her?) A Certain Softness revisits McCartney's love for a latin theme, and the track is one of the more beautiful on the album.
- Riding to Vanity Fair sounds as though it could have been recorded during the sessions for Beck's Sea Change. It's eerily similar to Lonesome Tears or Round the Bend from said album.
- Follow Me sounds like Paul's attempt at singing to his spiritual guide, but it's probably just a love song. And is really the only track recorded live by Paul's touring band.
- On Promise to You Girl, the listener is treated to one of Macca's "mini-suites". A very raw recording with the exception of the smooth multi-layered harmonies. A very Beatle-sounding track.
- This Never Happened Before provides us with fine example of what we've some to expect from Paul McCartney - a killer song. It's such a good piece of writing, it simply doesn't need much in the way of production, although the lush string arrangement doesn't hurt the track at all.
- Anyway is a bit of a downer, but the secret track at the end picks it back up again, and sounds like it might be more of the live band. It sounds very much like the mics got set up, the tape started rolling, and the boys just started having fun. A great way to end an album.

Trinity is organized around nine ministries, or committees, working under the leadership of the church Session (or Board). The Session is the governing body of our church and the elders are elected for 3 year terms.
Nine Ministries, One Mission
These ministries each have a chair or co-chairs, listed below, who lead the meetings and can answer questions. We encourage everyone to take part in a ministry. It can be as simple as attending a meeting once a month (or quarter) or can involved heading up part of the ministry, like ushering or a mission project. For more information on the ministries, please see the Ministries home page. You can click on the chair's name to send them an email.

Before college, Grace participated in both the youth choir and bells ensembles; regularly set up Communion; and helped Judith set up the Chancel on Sunday mornings.

Steve Gillard, Class of 2021
Steve Gillard has been a member at Trinity since 2011. He is married to Merrit and they have two daughters together, Dorothy and Harriet.

Wyoming Meteorologist Talks About Red Bull Stratos Record Setting Jump [AUDIO,VIDEO]
On March 15th, 2011, Austrian Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a capsule, carried by a hot air balloon,from the altitude of 71,581 feet. This was just a test jump for the Red Bull Stratos Team that hopes to take this same capsule to 120,000 feet for a record shattering jump later this year. K2 Radio's Meteorologist Don Day is a part of the team and he sat down with Brian Scott to talk about the jump and the preparations that continue.
I mix my meteorology with my experience as a balloonist, My job is all encompassing from the start to finish for this jump.
This is also the first time the equipment, the team, and the procedures have been tested together under real flight conditions. Felix is only the third person to have ever jumped from such a high altitude. Although, this won't be his highest freefall attempt, it's high enough to test the functionality of the pressurized space suit and the capsule's abilities.
This is a significant milestone stemming from five years of testing and intensive work. The effort takes more than 100 expert personnel who have been building and creating one-of-a-kind technology, and sometimes coming together from across the world.
Preliminary data from the International Air Sports Federation (FAI) shows how this successful test measured up.
Altitude reached: 71,581 feet
Parachute opened at: 7,890 feet
Freefall time: 3 minutes and 33 seconds
The fastest ascent rate of the capsule: 1,200 feet per minute (estimate)
Speed reached in freefall: 364.4 miles per hour
Here is a video from one of the unmanned test flights that was just released.

Baby Sweater
I'll do a doublecheck with my sister to make sure all the proportions are correct on the live model, then I'll make this pattern available.
Here's the behind-the-scenes of LoomKnitting.com. This is what I'm working on, struggling with, and learning. My successes end up on the website. The rest? Well... read about that below!

I guess the word 'classic' can mean different things to different people. What's considered classic and timeless by me, may not necessarily be that to you. But there are items both in our makeup collection as well as our wardrobes that most of us would consider timeless classic because they never age and don't depend on changing fashion trends. They have been and will always be trendy and classy.
Mainly because of that, if there is any item worth splurging on, it's one of the classic pieces that you know will last in your wardrobe for years to come, will always look chic, effortless and fashionable and goes perfectly with majority of items you normally wear. I am by no means a fashion expert, but I love simple, easy, classic looks, so here are some of my timeless classics of fashion and makeup.
Nail Polish
For me personally, if it's classic, it's always black or red. There is just simply no other option. I have gone though numerous bottles of both colours in the past and these are the only two colours that I buy over and over again, just because I absolutely love them and use them most often. I feel most comfortable wearing either 'I mean business' kind of red, or 'edgy, badass, do not mess with me' black. Both go with whatever outfit I wear and look stunning. Not the easiest colours to work with but totally worth it. My favourites are from Essie, YSL, or more recent addition from Christian Louboutin.
No other option here. Red all the way. Yes, it can be intimidating, yes, it takes a while to get used to originally, but once you do, you rock it. All you need is a minimal eye makeup to let the lips do the talking and there is nothing more beautiful than a gentle, soft makeup with red lip to give it some life. Red lipstick makes your skin and your eyes stand out. It's one of the most difficult colours to maintain in perfect condition, but something's gotta give. Some of my absolute favourites are from Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution 'Red carpet Red', Tom Ford ' Diego' or Christian Louboutin Sheer Voile in 'Rouge Louboutin'. It may take a while until you find the perfect shade that best suits your complexion and that you feel comfortable wearing, but do give it a go. You'd be surprised how great it will make you feel. For some extra help and encouragement, I suggest you read 'Pretty Honest' by Sali Hughes. There is a lot of useful tips about choosing red lipstick and lots of other amazing information.
Leather Jacket
It doesn't matter if it's the biker style or just a classic cut. Leather jacket will always be in fashion. When I say leather jacket, I have in mind the black one, as that's the only one I personally own, but it doesn't have to be black. Cream, grey to even red leather looks beautiful paired with jeans and accessorised with some jewellery. Leather jackets can be expensive, but it's one of those items worth investing in, as it will last for ages and will never get boring. Have a look at Asos, All Saints, Top Shop or Zalando.
Finding a perfect fitting pair of jeans can be a real challenge sometimes. There's so many styles out there, each of them giving a different kind of look. I personally like skinny jeans for ankle boots and heels, as well as bootcut jeans for flats as well as heels, because they makes me look slimmer. I also love the look of distressed, boyfriend jeans for a very casual but still put together outfit. If you know what your ideal type is and what you feel most comfortable wearing, or perhaps you've got your favourite brand (Levis and Zara are my faves), then you're sorted. If you're still looking for this perfect pair , don't give up and make sure you don't buy online. I'm a massive advocate of online shopping in general and probably 90% of my wardrobe was bought online, but not the jeans, never, unless I already know they will fit. Otherwise, make sure you try them, until you find this perfect pair that hugs your figure in all the right places and feels comfortable to wear every day. Seriously, it's worth the search.
Plain T-shirt
If you like simple, effortless, classic look that is always easy to put together, then a plain tee is one of the Must Haves in your wardrobe. It's a perfect partner for any trousers, skirts, any shoes, from trainers to heels, anything really, that you choose to wear. Add a bit of jewellery and you're good to go. Doesn't matter if you prefer V-neckline, boatneck, pockets, no pockets, straight cut or round cut, they all make a very classic fashion piece. My favourites are from TopShop, Zara, New Look and Asos. If you don't mind spending a bit more, then brands like J Crew or Splendid do really good quality ones.
Little Black Dress
There is no question about the most classic wardrobe piece that every woman should have at least one of. The Little black dress. Introduced to the world of fashion by Coco Chanel and made even more famous by Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', little black dress has its own history going back to 1920s and its own firmly established status when it comes to fashion classics. It's a perfect outfit for any occasion, you just cannot go wrong with it. They come in different shapes and sizes and they don't necessarily have to be mini type dresses. Mid or long length looks just as chic and classic, whatever suits your figure. Top Shop, Debenhams, Misguided or Asos have some really good ones.
Heels / court shoes
You know what they say, 'I close the deals in heels'… Regardless if you wear them to work or as part of casual outfit, heels always look good and make our legs look just that little bit longer and slimmer. I'm not talking about sky scrapers that make your entire feet go vertical, no no. I'm talking reasonable, gentle, still wearable, sexy heel. Now I know 'wearable' means kitten heel for some people, or the highest heel you can imagine for others, each to their own. I am somewhere in between, leaning closer towards kitten heel… Whichever option you choose, make sure they are somewhat comfortable and most importantly that you can easily walk in them, without any effort. Sweating and struggling to keep legs straight is really not worth the hassle and looks anything but classy… As long as your heels are correct height, they will serve you right and look very chic and sexy, whatever you decide to wear. Dune , Kurt Geiger, Missguided, or Boohoo have some really good selection.
White shirt
Yet another effortless piece of fashion that can be worn with anything and dressed up or down. It doesn't get any easier than a plain white shirt, regardless if you're dressing up for a business meeting or throwing on your fave pair of distressed jeans and converse and running for a girl's brunch. Depending on the style of the shirt, it can be layered with one of the classic tees underneath and left unbuttoned, which gives it more of a fresh, casual feel. If it's more fitted, wear it tucked into skinny jeans, with some heels and perhaps a colourful scarf to make the outfit more interesting. I found some really good ones over at Net-a-porter, New Look, Boohoo and Asos.
If you're looking at twisting things in your wardrobe a little bit for this coming season, have a look around first. It may be that you already own some of the classics that may just need adding few new accessories or putting it together in different way that you used to do so far. One thing is for sure, you cannot go wrong with a 'classic'. So, what is your classic piece of fashion or makeup?

I recently conducted a brief survey of my readers and I was blown away by the responses from one-hundredand-seventy-nine
who answered honestly and abundantly all that I inquired of them.
One of the main things I wanted to know was this:
What is the most important question you have related to your current life/relational circumstance?
And though I was hearing back from those who are separated, divorced, in reconciling marriages, even some in content marriages, I was also very much hearing from those in difficult marriages. And their number one – repeated over and over in slightly varying forms – question was this:
Should I stay or should I go?

Bob Doherty Ribbon of Green Award
Earl Wilson 2018
By Jeanette Guess
Earl Wilson has roots in South Carolina, but he has made Eastwick his home for over forty years. He is a retired Philadelphia Public School teacher who has taught hundreds of children science with great passion. The children affectionately referred to Earl as "Miiiiiissssstttter WWWiiiillllssssson" and he would chuckle, but quickly return to the lesson plan. His passion for science and teaching has him committed to organizations such as Eastwick Action Committee, Eastwick Friends and Neighbors Coalition, Darby Creek Valley Association and the Eastwick Lower Darby Creek Area Community Advisory Group. Collectively with Eastwick Friends and Neighbors Coalition, Earl has received the Bread and Roses Award for his dedicated work in Eastwick as a community activist. He is also the proud recipient of the Eastwick Lower Darby Creek Area Community Advisory Group Leadership Award and just recently received the Darby Creek Valley Association Ribbon of Green Award for his lifelong dedication and commitment to over forty years of service to Eastwick and the surrounding communities. Nothing seems to slow Earl down as he continues to forge ahead with his journey of teaching and community service.
