No distributor has taken the film on? If that situation remains, then we've all we've been trumped.

I know bugger all about golf but why would you want to take a place of natural beauty and convert it to the scalped grass and dustbowl landscape of the average golf course. I hope the decision is eventually overturned.

Unfortunately it is now too late Emma, the dunes have already been 'stabilised' and flattened...and locals barricaded 'out' by huge view-obstructing walls of the very earth they've dug out. Harrassment, bullying and a total contempt for anything but profit - I came out of the cinema incandescent

Hey Missy, I just wanted to tell you that I've posted this review on my tumblr blog (with a link back to your blog, of course) and lots people have 'Liked' it. It's got 22 notes, which isn't an awful lot in the grand scheme of things, but considering I have only just started blogging and have only 36 followers, it's quite significant.
I was extremely moved when I saw the trailer to this documentary, which is why I searched for a review of it. We should all try to see this film, and show as much support to the people of Balmedie as we can. The idea that some billionaire can come along and trample on the lives of genuine decent folk without blinking an eyelid makes me want to throw up.
The trailer was on IMDB recently, so does that mean they've finally found a distributor. I'd also be interested to know how things have developed since the time this film was made. Any info from where you are would make interesting reading. - 19 October 2011 11:55

Saw a green meteor tonight and quickly sketched it in Paper. Sorry I'm no artist.
I think the craziest idea I have heard in the last few years is that everyone should learn to code. That is the most bizarre and regressive idea. There are good reasons why we don't want everyone to learn nuclear physics, medicine or how financial markets work. Our entire modern project has been about delegating power over us to skilled people who want to do the work and be rewarded accordingly. I'm all for making us aware of how various technological infrastructures work. But the idea everyone should learn how to code is as plausible as saying that everyone should learn how to plumb. To me it just makes no sense.

Open concept lowers productivity
I have been a cubicle citizen for 30 years. My most productive time has been when I was in temporary accommodation where everyone had a closed office with a door. The most junior employees had 2 people sharing one office. Closed offices encourage communication because you can go to anyone's office to have a conversation without disturbing anyone else. The problem is that the savings in open concept offices are easily calculated but the expense of lower productivity is difficult to measure.

2013 America's Cup
Sail-World.com : The future of women's sailing in the Olympics
The future of women's sailing in the Olympics
Walter Cooper ©
Women's International Match Racing Association - WIMRA Executive Director Liz Baylis discusses the current status and future hopes for women's racing and sailing events in the Olympics and hopes for the sports continued growth.
The ISAF Council voted last week to remove the women's keelboat event from the Olympic slate for 2016.
Obviously this is a great disappointment to us and perhaps a decision they will regret. But it is done and we must now look forward and not backwards.
We have seen an incredible growth of women's match racing throughout the world over the last 10 years:
- from 20 events in 2000 to over 80 in 2010;
- from 115 skippers on the ranking list in 2000 to 320 now;
- women's match racing happening in many new countries including RSA, SLO, CRO, PER, ESA, KOR, IND, and more;
Though this has been in part due to the inclusion in the Olympic programme for 2012, it is mainly due to the tremendous effort that all of you have put into growing our sport. I do not see the recent decision diminishing the fact that women's match racing is a dynamic and exciting discipline and many of our most talented sailors will continue to participate.
As WIMRA Vice President, Lotte Meldgaard Pedersen (DEN) said in a recent note to the ISAF Women's Forum:
'I don't think that match racing has ever been adopted by the Sailing World Cups to use its full potential, so not really a surprise that women's keelboat/match racing is out again. I'm sure match racing will be fantastic events at the Pre-Olympics, ISAF Worlds in Perth and at the Olympic Games 2012. And match racing will for sure survive also outside the Olympic programme, no doubt about that.'
Where do we go from here?
WIMRA is committed to helping ensure that the events Lotte mentioned are all fantastic events and that the Olympic Women's Match Racing event in 2012 showcases our sport for what it is: exciting, athletic, media friendly, and riveting. But, we will also be working outside of the Olympic programme to further develop women's match racing in new areas as well as bolster the existing excellent events and help develop new events.
We will continue to need your help, but we are also available to help you. Let's continue to work together to develop and grow our sport.

State appeals ruling in religious freedom case
By Bill Lodge
Advocate staff writer
May 29, 2012
A former Baton Rouge deputy constable, serving life in prison for murder, has twice beaten state officials in a lawsuit over religious freedom.
The case of Henry Lee Leonard, 56, now moves to a national stage at the U.S. Supreme Court, which announced Tuesday that Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has appealed for reversal of the lower court rulings.
Through Communications Director Amanda Larkins, Caldwell and his assistant attorneys general declined Friday to comment on the case.
"We'll let the petition speak for itself," Larkins said.
In that petition, Caldwell argues that U.S. District Judge Donald E. Walter, of Shreveport, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans incorrectly concluded it was wrong for state officials to deny Leonard access to "The Final Call," a weekly newsletter published by the Nation of Islam and led by Louis Farrakhan.
Caldwell said in the petition that the newsletter's back cover contains a statement known as "The Muslim Program," which prison officials have argued could lead to racial conflict among inmates.
Walter ruled in September 2010, however, that "denial of access to 'The Final Call' based solely on the inclusion of 'The Muslim Program' is a violation of the First Amendment" freedom of speech. The judge added that the ban also violates a state-law guarantee of religious freedom for inmates.
In November 2011, a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit affirmed Walter's decision.
" 'The Final Call' is objectionable to the prison officials only because it regularly includes 'The Muslim Program,' " said 5th Circuit Judges Thomas M. Reavley, of Houston; Emilio M. Garza, of San Antonio; and James E. Graves Jr., of Jackson, Miss.
"We agree with the district court that banning the entire newspaper is not justified," the appellate judges wrote.
Leonard is represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana in the continuing dispute.
"This is a very important religious-freedom case," Marjorie R. Esman, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana, said Friday. "And the law is clear: There is no basis for this decision to be overturned" by the Supreme Court.
"This is nothing more than an unfair delay for Mr. Leonard, who is being denied his right to exercise his right to freedom of religion," Esman added. "And it's unfair to the people of Louisiana, who will have to pay a bigger bill when this is all over."
"The Muslim Program" is on the The Nation of Islam's website at http://www.noi.org.
The program's first three goals are those of freedom, justice and equality, according to the website:
The program has another goal: The establishment of a separate state or territory at the expense of "our former slave masters," who would be required to fund all needs in that territory "for the next 20 to 25 years."
"The Muslim Program" also wants "freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South."
Another plank in the program: "We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land."
In his request for reversal by the Supreme Court, Caldwell noted that Leonard has been a member of the Nation of Islam for 25 years. Caldwell said the group "embraces black superiority and supremacy as fundamental tenets."
The attorney general said prison officials attempted to avoid a permanent ban on "The Final Call" by asking the Nation of Islam to omit "The Muslim Program" from issues of the publication that are distributed to inmates.
The Nation of Islam "did not respond," Caldwell told members of the Supreme Court.
Leonard, the man at the focus of the dispute, had a career in law enforcement and a history of domestic violence before the 2003 murder that sent him to prison for life.
Police reports show Leonard was suspended by the Baton Rouge Police Department after a 1998 altercation in which he broke his wife's wrist. A year later, he was forced to resign after he beat his 14-year-old daughter with a weight-lifting belt and pleaded guilty to a charge of simple battery.
In 2003, Leonard was arrested and indicted for second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a 50-year-old pharmacist, Kenneth LeDeaux, who was dating Leonard's ex-wife.
Constable Reginald Brown fired Leonard from his deputy's post after LeDeaux's death.
Trial testimony — and security videotape from the after-hours medical clinic where his ex-wife worked — showed Leonard fired three bullets into LeDeaux as he left the clinic. Leonard then wrestled the body into the trunk of LeDeaux's Infiniti.
Leonard's ex-wife witnessed the shooting and immediately called 911 from the clinic.
Police officers stopped Leonard as he walked toward his Ford Explorer with LeDeaux's blood on his clothes.

Bib draws on the alpine World Cup have long been a festive affair, but the Waxroom has noticed a bit of bar-raising in Europe lately. First there was Julia Mancuso getting down and dirty with the emcee at Zauchensee on Jan. 8. Then, on Jan. 10 in Flachau, organizers zoomed athletes such as Marlies Schild (left) via dirt bike to the stage, where a junior ski racer ziplined
50 feet down from the top of a rock-climbing wall to present the bib. Who needs a Super Bowl halftime show when we've got bib draws all winter?

If you're about to launch an IT job search, recognize the core skills that are most in demand among IT employers. And if you have a background in these areas, your resume should make this clear.
Starting an IT Job Search? Highlight These Skills in Your Resume.
1. Network Consolidation
Do you know how to cluster servers, expand an existing data network, or help set up a data center? If you do, make sure you highlight this fact on your resume. Employer needs are shifting from consolidated data management systems to offsite systems and cloud computing, and companies are interested in those who can help with the transition.
2. Security
Experience with security and privacy compliance are in high demand, especially among medicine and healthcare firms who deal heavily with guarded information.
3. Programing and Application Development
If you can write new programs and develop applications from the ground up, your skills are hot right now. Include this at the top of your resume, especially if your programs are functional, easy to use and mobile ready.
4. Social Media Strategy
Can you help companies leverage social media to make the most of their marketing budgets? Are you fluent in CSS, XML, AJAX, PHP, and .Net? If you know how to introduce social media tech into company infrastructures, you hold a powerful advantage in the competition for top IT jobs. Your resume and application materials should make this very clear.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. — The Hudson Valley Raiders 17-Under Travel Tournament baseball team opened its 2012 season, reaching the tournament final before falling at the 21-Gun Salute Memorial Weekend Wood Bats Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.
Raiders Head Coach Rick Tocco was pleased with his team's first competition of the season. His pitching staff allowed a 2.25 earned run average and held opposing batters to a .184 batting average.
"All my boys have been playing high school ball, some up until Friday night, and this was our first games as a team," he said. "Starting pitcher Ricky Tocco and Chris Pell had not pitched in competition since last November, and Kyle Kuttruff had pitched just eight innings of high school ball. And Michael Haag had a lot of innings this season."
The Raiders, with players from the northern Westchester communities, opened with a 7-2 win against the Bergen Swamp Rats from New Jersey with Tocco pitching six strong innings. Tocco walked four and allowed three hits. R.J. Lyman pitched the seventh inning to end the game.
The Raiders offense opened the scoring quickly with a run-scoring single by Zach Giusti in the first inning. Michael Haag's single in the third also drove in a run. Hudson Valley struck again in the fourth when Jeremy Boyd scored on a Jason Tierney single, and Guisti and Tocco each drove in another run. Tocco drove in his third run in the fifth, and Chris Pell walked with the bases loaded to plate another run.
OC Bombers 4, Raiders 1
In Game 2 of the tournament, Chris Pell pitched well into the sixth inning with a 1-0 lead until the Bombers scored four times. The Raiders comeback attempt in the seventh inning was ended in a double play.
Raiders 6, NYC Astros 0
Raiders pitcher Kyle Kuttruff pitched a seven-inning shutout, striking out eight, walking two and allowing eight hits in a Game 3 win that set up a rematch with the Bombers for Game 4.
Jason Tierney and R.J. Lyman scored on a throwing error by the Astros pitcher for an early 2-0 lead. Kuttruff and Ricky Tocco scored in the second when Greg Lamb singled them both home. The Raiders added two more in the fourth when Tierney and Lyman score on a Zach Giusti single.
Bombers 4, Raiders 1
The win over the Astros set up a rematch against the OC Bombers. Both starting pitchers dueled for three scoreless innings. But Raiders pitcher Michael Haag got into trouble and gave up back-to-back singles. Haag got a fly ball out and struck the next batter. But the Bombers got a two-out, two-strike double to score three runs and take a 3-0 lead.
The score remained 3-0 into the sixth inning, when the Raiders scored their only run. R.J. Lyman singled, stole second, reached third on a passed ball and scored on a passed ball. The Raiders threatened in the fifth but stranded two runners in scoring position.
The Raiders, who compete in the New York Elite Baseball Leagues, open their summer league games at Peekskill Stadium on June 13 against the Hudson Valley Bulls at 6 p.m.

WhisPER — A New Tool for Performing Listening Tests
A software tool is presented for performing perceptual audio evaluation and psychoacoustic measurement, controlling the interaction with both the subject and the playback environment. For this purpose a repertoire of test procedures has been implemented, including popular qualitative and quantitative approaches. By using OpenSound Control commands, not only traditional multi-channel reproduction is supported, but also advanced spatial audio reproduction such as dynamic binaural synthesis or wavefield synthesis. WhisPER has been written in MATLAB to facilitate its further development within the scientific community. As opposed to existing libraries it provides a coherent graphical user interface system allowing easier access and configuration also for users without advanced programming experience.

Buying the Election
"Never Mind the Super PACs: How Big Business Is Buying the Election" investigates previously unreported ways that businesses have taken advantage of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, which overturned a century of campaign finance law and allowed corporations to spend directly on behalf of candidates. The piece debunks a common misperception that businesses have taken advantage of their new political spending powers primarily through so-called Super PACs. In fact, most Super PAC donations have come from extremely wealthy individuals, not corporations. The investigation shows how corporations have instead used a variety of 501(c) nonprofits, primarily 501(c)(6) "trade associations," to direct substantial corporate money on federal elections. As one prominent advisor to GOP candidates as well as corporations points out, "many corporations will not risk running ads on their own," for fear of the reputational damage, but the trade groups make these ad buys nearly anonymous. In 2010, 501(c)(6) trade associations and 501(c)(4) issue-advocacy groups outspent Super PACs $141 million to $65 million. The investigation shows that the growth of trade association political spending has had a number of significant ramifications, such as increased leverage during beltway lobbying campaigns. Most troublingly, legal loopholes allow foreign interests to use trade associations to directly influence American elections. One of the most significant revelations in the piece was that the American Petroleum Institute, a trade association for the oil and gas industry, had funneled corporate cash to groups that had run hard-hitting campaign ads while being led in part by a lobbyist for the Saudi Arabian government, Tofiq Al-Gabsani. As an API board member, Al-Gabsani was part of the team that directed these efforts, which helped defeat candidates who supported legislation that would move American energy policy away from its focus on fossil fuels. Federal law prevents Al-Gabsani, as a foreign national, from leading a political action committee, or PAC. But nothing in the law stopped him from leading a trade group that made campaign expenditures just as a PAC would.

The Long Island Power Authority
Superstorm Sandy struck the Northeast in late October, leaving much of Long Island damaged by the most severe flooding in memory and wind gusts reaching 96 miles an hour. A total of 90 percent of the Long Island Power Authority's 1.1 million customers lost electricity -- tens of thousands of them for weeks.

Concealing County Corruption: Anatomy of a Cover-Up
Wayne Dolcefino saves the best for last. In his final investigation for KTRK-TV, he and the 13 Undercover Unit demonstrated relentless persistence as they attempted to shake up a county government with an abysmal record of policing itself. This submission begins with four reports detailing shocking evidence of corruption inside the downtown precinct of Constable Jack Abercia. 13 Undercover spent several months doing painstaking surveillance -- catching the Constable's deputies running his personal errands, working extra jobs on the clock and stockpiling never driven county patrol cars while lawmen were being laid off. 13 Undercover then managed to get a hidden camera inside the chief deputy's office as he and two deputies talked openly about corruption inside the precinct. The language is often foul mouthed and always revealing. The FBI nabbed Aberica and two top commanders in a bribery sting weeks later. The veteran former constable is now awaiting trial. Eventually, 13 Undercover turned our cameras on county leaders to say "enough is enough." Not only was action not forthcoming, it quickly became clear that many in positions of power wanted this all to go away without getting their hands dirty, without ending decades of a patronage system that made deputies feel required to give money to their boss's campaigns and charities to keep their jobs. That was not an option. This investigation demanded accountability and we held leaders to the promises they made to the public. In late summer, 13 Undercover scored a major public records victory that revealed what one commentator dubbed "a cover-up of Nixonian proportions." The series culminated with the long awaited, and previously unimaginable, indictment of one of the county's most popular elected officials – precinct 6 Constable Victor Trevino. New county directives now prohibit constables from soliciting money from their deputies and legislation is expected to filed in Austin to protect county employees from further shakedowns.

NBC News: Under Fire
An investigation into an alleged defect involving 20 million rifles and shotguns, causing many to fire without the trigger being pulled. Despite dozens of injuries and at least seven deaths—and evidence the manufacturer has been aware of a problem for decades—Remington has publicly insisted its guns are safe and the incidents are a result of user error. Using internal company documents including customer complaints dating back to the 1950s, our investigation found Remington chose not to implement changes designed to make its products safer, and may have withheld vital information from its customers.
A rampant prescription, a hidden peril
The series investigated nursing homes' use of antipsychotic medications on the elderly, a practice the US Food and Drug and Administration has long warned against because of potentially fatal side effects in people with dementia. The Boston Globe analyzed data from 15,600 nursing homes nationwide and found that about 185,000 residents received antipsychotics in 2010 alone, despite not having a medical condition that warranted such use. The series also revealed that Massachusetts nursing homes commonly use antipsychotics to control agitation and combative behavior in elderly residents who should not be receiving the powerful sedatives, yet state regulators seldom use their authority to reprimand or penalize facilities for this practice.

Prescription For Cheating
Our investigation revealed a long-time practice in which radiologists have cheated on their board exams. We found these doctors actually memorized the test questions and answers and even created elaborate Power Points with the information shared among residents at radiology programs across the United States.

Dirty Deeds
It may be the biggest inside job in Louisiana history: vast expanses of oil and gas-rich land and water bottoms, owned by the state, but handed over to some of Louisiana's most powerful politicians. The "scheme" uncovered by our investigative team dates back to the 1930s and has generated over a billion adjusted dollars during that time. This comprehensive multi-platform series not only sparked an investigation by Louisiana's Attorney General, but also informed viewers that this shocking 80 year old deal is still costing an already cash-strapped state tens of millions of dollars each year.

No Small Thing
The Poughkeepsie Journal series "No Small Thing" goes where no other newspaper or media outlet has – it challenges the mainstream medical dogma on Lyme disease. In rigorously documented articles, Projects Writer Mary Beth Pfeiffer concludes that the major actors in this public health scandal -- chiefly the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Infectious Disease Society of America – have minimized and mismanaged a burgeoning epidemic of tick-borne disease at great harm to thousands of infected people. These two powerful institutions have held – in policy and pronouncement -- that Lyme disease is easy to diagnose and easy to cure. It is neither.

MKE Journal Sentinel: Police Problems
In Milwaukee, there may be no institution more powerful, more troubled and more determined to fight public scrutiny than the police department. It is a dangerous combination. In 2012 alone, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exposed how two officers ignored a handcuffed prisoner's gasps and pleas for help, refused to call an ambulance in violation of department policy, and then were cleared of responsibility despite indications they played a role in the man's death. We revealed deep flaws with the city's crime numbers and showed how the chief, instead of fixing them, misled the public about its safety while boosting his resume. All the while, the department has worked to stymie scrutiny, from charging unpermitted fees for access to public records to dropping daily media briefings in favor of news dispensed via Twitter and a flashy new website ironically dubbed "The Source."
Port Authority: Battle at the Waterfront
This investigation was about lies and obfuscation, and the stakes were enormous: A mayor's election, a growing media empire and potentially billions of dollars in development. Our reporting revealed how within months of purchasing the largest media operation in San Diego County, the new owners of U-T San Diego were using their power and status to influence -- and even threaten -- government officials into helping them realize lucrative plans for developing the downtown waterfront. It also illuminated an insidious practice suspected nationwide: use of private electronic accounts to conduct the public's business. Our reporting defined much of the discussion around the mayor's race in the weeks before the election. In the end, the candidate at the heart of the probed was defeated.

Here's what to do when you encounter "Invalid token (hack attempt) or timeout. Go back, refresh that page and try again later." error on Pligg when you try to edit the submitted story (title, description, or category).
1. Open the "csrf.php" file that is located on your "libs" folder.
2. Find this code: $this->log('token: ' . $name . ' does not match: ' . $token);
return false;
3. Edit this code to: $this->log('token: ' . $name . ' does not match: ' . $token);
return true;
1. You can't find the csrf.php file if you are using the Template Editor on your Pligg admin.
2. You need to use an FTP Client to access the file.
The WP template I'm currently using doesn't have a feature to display the latest blog post on a static page. And I am thinking that it would be helpful if I could display my latest blog posts on the main page.
1 – On the WP dashboard, look for the Settings, click Reading.
2 – There are 2 check buttons: Your latest posts (selected by default), and a Static page.
I've done a lot of research on how to add the latest blog post on a static page, and I've found a relevant discussion. You can read the discussions here, with the codes for displaying the latest blog posts on a static page. But I find it difficult to apply; other than that, one of the reasons is that what if I'm going to change my template, so does it mean that I will add codes again?
What I've found is a WP plug-in called TPG Get Posts. The TPG Get Posts plugin allows you to use a shortcode tag to add on a page and will display the list of blog posts just like the standard blog. The posts display can be selected by one or more tag values supported by the WP get_posts function, to let you control the displays on your page. See the list of support tag values here.
1 – To use it, open the page where you'd like to add the shortcode [ tpg_get_posts ] and just make sure that you selected the HTML editor.
By default it will display the latest 5 blog posts, but you can customize the display settings by using the supported get_posts template tags.
That's right guys! You have read the blog post title correctly, you can win $1000 just by submitting an idea.

Creative Ways to Get Reviews on Google Places
As you savvy marketers, gaining as many good quality reviews on your Google Places page is not only a good idea for converting prospective clients, but also helps with increasing your rank locally. Most customers won't know to leave Google Places reviews, so it is your job as a business owner or marketer to actively promote and encourage customers to give honest reviews.
In this blog, we will look at creative ways to get the word out.
At a seminar on the topic someone asked, "Can I place a computer at my business and encourage users to leave reviews on the spot". Well this is a great idea because they are honest customer reviews and would probably have a good conversion rate for customers to leave reviews, but the problem is all the reviews would be coming from the same IP address which is a red flag from Google. So unfortunately, that technique would not work.
If someone posts a negative review, keep your head on and simply reply to them as the business owner in a professional and polite way. I always encourage offering something to unhappy customers to help ease any hard feelings. Even if you can't win the angry customer back, others reading the review will see the response and it will help win back your credibility.
It's important for you to keep your "white hat" marketing hat on and never buy or create fake reviews. Chances are Google will find out and remove the reviews and penalize your listing. Take your time while collecting reviews and focus on getting honest, real reviews. It's not going to be an over-night endeavor and in many cases can take 6-12 months to collect a descent number of reviews. Also, although Google Places is probably the biggest and most important, make sure you take some time to collect reviews on some of the other major directories (yahoo, bing, yelp, citysearch, etc). These often times are pulled into your Google Places page anyways.
If you have any good ideas on how to gain more Google Places reviews, please post in the comments, we'd love to hear.

Sometimes we feel alone as Christians even in the midst of an assembly. We love the people and they love us yet we feel disconnected. We may wonder if the problem is with the group, oneself, or Christianity itself. I think this problem can affect Christian men in particular because we do tend to live solitary lives in the middle of a crowd.
"Send Me One, Lord"
Sometimes when we feel isolated we are primarily seeking another believer. You may have a believing spouse and great relatives and be part of a loving church. Within any body of believers, I think we are seeking another soul with whom we can grow in the Lord and be a co-worker in the faith. I am an introvert but not generally shy*. One can feel alone in a group of people no matter how much they love you: connected but yearning for a deeper bond with another Christian. When we find those Christians, we don't feel as isolated.
Men typically have a hard time making that one connection. Richard Simmons III, who writes and speaks on men's issues, said the average man has "less than one" close male friend (.1-.49 average). Our spouse or other family members cannot fill the position. Christian men need a Paul, Barnabas, Silas, or Timothy in our lives with whom we can work and worship, who is not dependent on us, who will keep us accountable, and sharpen us "as iron sharpens iron." Seek that one among the believers and I believe your feelings of isolation will dissolve into feelings of acceptance.
How Do You Find Him?
To find a man who will be such a strength to you (or perhaps several men who provide different parts of what you need) would include the following:
- Pray for God to send you a fellow soldier. We pray to God for everything else we need, so much more should we pray for this. Jesus sent the disciples out two by two. It is important to have companions who can lift each other up, work together, and protect one another (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12–Read it!). The Lord's cause would benefit from many Paul-Barnabas relationships.
- Don't send a woman to do a man's job. The need you have is for a man to help you navigate the waters and work with you in a way that you can relate to and that provides the unique camaraderie that exist among men working together as close friends. As good as your wife may be, and I have an incredible one, she cannot fulfill this need. She fulfills another important need in your life as companion, lover, helper, and friend. There is a different need you have that she is not equipped to meet so don't put her in a position of failure by making her fill a need that she cannot meet. A wise wife will recognize this need in her man and support the relationships without jealousy and a wise man will make sure his wife's needs are not neglected to spend time with male friends.
- Look for what you can give, not what you will receive. Don't look for someone upon whom you can become dependent and needy. This will not supply the need. There are times when we might rely more heavily on our brothers and sisters during difficult times, but a person who is only a taker, who is always needy, becomes a cause, not a friend. Find someone who also needs you and your strengths and one with whom you can accomplish more through joint effort. If you are looking for someone to teach, guide, and instruct you, you are seeking a mentor or teacher (which is a good relationship to have). But you also need a fellow soldier, an equal, that you do not feel the need to lead or carry.
- Find someone trustworthy and strong in their faith. This friend and brother will be one with whom you will share struggles and ask perplexing questions. Can you trust this person with your doubts and emotions? Can you trust that what you share with them will not be broadcast to others? Can you be trusted with their secrets? You must find someone who will not use what you share with them against you but will help you find spiritual strength and solutions that are based on God's word. You need someone you can pray with and who will hold you accountable to God's will. You need someone who will love you in good and bad times and will fight to save your soul. This may greatly narrow the potential men to be such a friend but the one you find will be worth more than all you own.
- Make it a priority. I have not always done this and it has been to my detriment. This is an important need. You are not weak nor lacking something. God created us this way. We have a need that is fulfilled by our spouse and children and a need that is filled by having a godly man to work with in our Lord's kingdom. The earlier you work on meeting this need the better prepared you will be to face the inevitable trials of life within your family, professional life, and as a Christian.
*My introversion: public speaking and talking with a group of people I know is no problem but it wearies me over time. I gain strength from quiet and periods of isolation and spend a lot of time "in my head." I write a lot about my introversion at my www.rhodesdavis.com site.

Canada Lake Kayak
Back to lean and simpler days.
In clear and green, the shy loon plays.
Alone and early, mist on glass.
Beasts splash loudly as I pass.
Soon I see a beaver's head
He slaps his tail, signal's red.
In another cove I spy she-deer,
I hear teeth crunch grass. I am so near.
Blueberries ripen on rocky banks.
Green, red, purple, blue; I give thanks.
Two kingfishers chase above the marsh.
I first hear loon's trill high and harsh.
I pass a lily bud, yellow in green.
I paddle slowly, not heard or seen.
I reach the source, a babbling stream.
I stop altogether, sense a dream.
The flow is constant, cool the rush,
I let the kayak drift towards brush.
The moss so lush, the trees lean in
to touch the man, his heart, not skin.

Remaining Spaces
My eyes grow weary, or is it my mind?
TV's wasteland flickers by as lost opportunities.
Undaunted by an education of cavities and fat,
my mouth still sucks and bites the momentary,
unremarkable, immediate pleasures of processed sugars.
I will deteriorate until I answer well, "Who am I?"
When the loss hurts badly enough, I'll make a better choice.
Then, clandestinely, under the surface guise of enjoyment,
pain will seek again to root its place in habit.
If it has its way, my cycle toward discipline must repeat itself.
Today, may my reality be to eat of moderation and choice;
to drink the fresh juice of grape or orange.
Or might it be to read, and savor new perspectives;
to chase my slovenly tyrant from power
with a bike, run or swim to its distraction or demise.
Upon my own personal ruins, I must build a shrine,
all the more wondrous in it's design in light of its origins.
Might a right spirit lead me through a simple practice towards peace.
Where once there was only a nagging cycle of want and thirst,
may life's remaining spaces filled with meaning.
© Brenneman T. August 4, 2003
The rain calls,
stale honey grahams and Jag.
Drowning want is all that falls
on soggy crackers in a bag.

My Only Arc with Limits
It's not tomorrow.
Sap flows when ready,
as the day's warmth beckons it.
Whether I ride the train or walk,
am still, or fly, bike, or swim;
my head and heart remain in relatively
the same positions
with respect to each other.
This is almost my only arc with limits.
No matter what I do or where I go,
all but origins change.
Should my extremities take me where I don't want to go,
I need not whine.
They are the subjects of my center.
Their course can be altered.
I get lost in perspective only.
An open road is always there.
Simpler notions,
captured in my moments of transition,
center light on better ways.
Choices are made, and change is certain,
but when I recognize where today starts,
I am filled with hope.

Inky Judgment
There were only ten minutes left until my wedding.
I asked someone to drive me.
Once I arrived,
no one seemed particularly attentive to my presence.
The bride was not there,
but I somehow understood she wasn't coming.
Still, that night, all was going well.
We talked casually as we headed out newlyweds.
"Are you going to take my name,
or will you be using your maiden name?", I asked.
"Whatever you prefer,"
was her relaxed response.
She raised her lovely hair,
revealing a tattoo on the back of her neck- actually three.
For an instant I wandered,
"were those already there?"
One read, "H2O U R COOL".
The bold green letters seemed indelicate.
There was also a tiny rose,
which alone would have seemed acceptable.
But then there was script, about ten lines
sideways below the that.
I never read it.
It seemed unlike her.
"When did you get that?", I asked.
"In November, when we weren't talking."
"I was feeling bad, and this helped me through a hard time."
"I had also been drinking."
I then reacted.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You should have at least told me."
"I don't like it."
"Who did it?"
The magic of the day was broken.
Her long hair fell back over her neck,
but the rest of the ride passed in uneasy silence.
Was this to be my first day of marriage,
filled with awkward moments?
She took me to the middle-aged woman in the arts district
who had tattooed her that night.
Their greeting was friendly.
I, however, scolded the woman.
"How could you tattoo someone who is obviously distraught or drunk.
Don't you investigate to assure someone is coherent before you mark them for
My bride was embarrassed, and walked away.
I felt bad about what I was doing, but went on.
"Where are your Tattoos?"
"I don't see any?"
"Do you have any," she questioned.
"Well, I'm like you. Tattoos aren't for everyone."
I was so angry at her.
What a hypocrite. But what was I to do?
We left.
That night we slept in different rooms.
I dreamt. All the rich foods of the wedding reception
made them dark and spicy tales.
When I awoke, I was so glad that they were only dreams.
I looked to my bride's room.
Why had I let the night pass in negativity?
The tattoos were done.
I wished I had handled it more gingerly.
I went into her room to tell her this.
Her bed sheets were tossed open.
She was not in the clump of blankets.
She was already gone.

Pendulum's Pride
Her maiden ride from left to right
was hardly a great feat,
but then she swung throughout the night,
as a heart's unconscious beat.
Our planet falls around our star.
Sun's landscape bends away.
They balance speed with just how far,
plunge last night into today.

Balloon Tail
The Race For The Cure was over. I asked, and found the ribbon of hundreds of
helium balloons tied to a nylon string was available for the Aspen Chapel's
fundraising party. Now, just how to get it there?
I knew it would be a demanding, but fun new experience. After borrowing a knife,
I cut the nylon string and tied them to the back of my mountain bike. All those
balloons had perhaps only five or ten pounds of static upward pressure. Of much
more consequence was the drag. Most conspicuous was my beginning the one mile
trip on a mountain bike headed by the Aspen library towards Main Street with a
one hundred-plus foot tail of undulating purple and green balloons waving
lifelike in the wind.
"That's so cool," was the response of almost everyone who commented. Some people
just smiled. A child exclaimed, "Look at the balloons mommy!"
Why was I taking these to the chapel? No one else seemed very intent on doing
anything with them. Why me?
Why not?
It was an exacting challenge getting by certain trees. There were occasional
casualties, but the losses were unremarkable. The hardest part was going down
Highway 82 where it curves and crosses a bridge. The angle of the balloons would
change with the wind, requiring fine adjustments in the path to have them barely
skim the tops of trees.
At the chapel, I tied them to a dumpster. Tomorrow, the goal would be to get
them further down the highway to the 14 million dollar home where the benefit
was to be held. I'd be getting up early.
Although I didn't know it, the late-afternoon rain would put an end to my plans.
My mother found the corpses. I wish I had seen them pop! The sun-baked balloons
must have almost exploded in unison under the sudden cool rain's direction. All
she found the next morning were balloon body parts strewn over a fifty foot
area. Cleaning them up, I figured they had lived a 'full' life.

Schomacker Victorian Upright Piano
Very Rare Civil War Era Schomacker Upright Piano In Brazilian Rosewood Cabinet
$15,000 after total restoration
(not including applicable sales tax & shipping charges)
Year: 1862
Finish: Brazilian Rosewood
Status: Pending Restoration
Instrument Description
This is a very rare Civil War era upright piano by the prominent Schomacker Piano Company of Philadelphia. Schomacker was one of Philadelphia's older and more successful piano manufacturers, and they were known for building exceptionally well made, expensive pianos for over a century.
This piano is very unusual in that it has a German built action rather than an American made action. Many of Schomacker's pianos appear to be influenced by German design, which is likely a result of Schomacker's roots. The cabinet of this piano is also quite unusual – note how the bottom panel curves around in a round "half moon" shape, almost as if it were made for a lady's petticoat! The case is made of Brazilian Rosewood, and is of the Rococo Victorian style with exquisitely carved panels, legs and fret work panels. Pianos like this haven't been built for over 125 years, and they are among some of the rarest and most desirable upright pianos in the market today. An original matching stool is included. Computerized player mechanisms can be installed if desired.
