It's a wonderful thing when you can take a look around you and say, "In this moment right now, I'm happy."
Here's my moment: I'm watching the Patriots game while I eat my lunch of pretzel crisps, Brie, and really good fig spread with almonds and apricots.
What makes this moment such a good one? Well, set-up is part of the equation. Paul and I shoveled a lot of snow this morning. (And I added bird species #6-9 to my First Birds of the Year list.) Then we ran some errands. Now, the groceries are put away, a pretty, new orchid sits in my window, there's nothing left on my "to do" list, and I'm free to watch the game--alone, which means I can also blast the heat and yell at the screen. It's the last game of the regular season, but they've already clinched the AFC East title, so nothing rests on a victory here. My moment is that perfect point in time between a satisfactory past--lots of sleep and the completion of all I'd planned for this three-day weekend (taking down Christmas, massive cleaning)--and a positive future--the unusual luxury of several hours ahead of me for which I have nothing planned.
Also, though a wet snow still spits out the window, the big storm is mostly over. So no more anxiety about possibly losing power in a blizzard. And hopefully no worries about having to wake up early tomorrow to shovel out my car so I can get to work on time.
A high moment for me often involves food, as well--either a special or favorite food, or a meal joyously shared with family or friends. My unusual Brie and pretzel combo is a weekend lunch favorite. And sports is another important factor. I unapologetically love watching sports, be it Patriots football, Red Sox baseball, the Kentucky Derby, a Federer-Nadal finals match in the French Open, or the Winter Olympics. So for an indoors moment, this one contains all the elements for happiness. (Outdoors moments almost always involve birding...) I'm content as my cat now snoring away in her laundry room cubby. And grateful for it.
Brie and pretzel lunch,
Sunday afternoon football--
all's good in my world.

Here's some fab news for Mobile App Developers! New research suggests that Brits are so addicted to and dependent on their smartphones and apps, that a quarter of them actually believe that mobile apps are equally as important as a basic human needs including eating, breathing and drinking.
Carried out my A10 AIR, the research found that Britons stood out over other countries in a number of ways, also demonstrating careless behaviour towards looking after their trusted mobiles.
"• Brits had the largest percentage of employees (41%) who use non-sanctioned apps at work.
• Over half (55%) of Britons would rather lose their trousers than their smartphone, while only 22% more Germans were prepared to lose their smartphone rather than their trousers.
• More Britons claim to have had their mobile devices hacked – one in four (24%) – than any almost any other country globally – and more than any other European country.
• UK participants lose their mobile devices more frequently (24%) – or have them stolen (19%) – than the global average, and more than the rest of Europe.
• Nearly one in three (32%) of UK participants said cyber-attacks are something they just try not to think about – more so than the global or European average.
• Brits don't think about security when downloading apps. The countries that think least about security risks are the UK and Japan."
When it comes to what they'd grab in an emergency, Britons showed an almost equal preference for their smartphone (38%) or a safe with important documents (37%), far higher than the number who would save family photos (19%). Only 6% of Britons would save a computer in the event of an emergency.
When compared to the rest of the world, Britons lagged far behind China in their attachment to their smartphone – 74% of Chinese people stated that they would save their smartphone in an emergency as compared to 38% of Britons and only 31% of Americans.

So my ex broke it off with me less than 2 weeks ago because he felt the spark was gone in our relationship and his feelings had changed. he said he doesn't beleive in love. I was devestated. He said that he cares about me so much and he still wants me in his life because I am such a good person. We contined to spend alomost every day together after the breakup & still slept together every night. He called me last night because something had happened in the day that upset him and he needed to talk to someone who understood. This moring I had a feeling that I should add Tinder because of a dream i'd had and sure enough he was on there to. I was upset because he had said that he was not breaking up because he wanted to meet anyone else, he just couldnt handle a relationship atm and that he would wait a respectable amount of time to move on. I emailed him saying 'nice to see you're already on Tinder'. He emailed back saying he was sorry and that he was really lonely and depressed last night. He called a suicide hotline that reccommened he talk to new people but tinder made him feel more down. He said that he feels so emotionally alone even around other people and he hates were he is in his life. I'm really worried about him and don't know if I should and how to help. I think he is doing amazingly in his life and he is an awesome person. i'm staring to think this may be part of the reason he broke it off with me. what should I do?
I think my recent ex-boyfriend is suicidal, should I help him?

What Guys Said 1
I think you should help him IF he's suicidal. Just keep your boundaries with him to prevent him trying to get back into your life. Also be VERY aware people like that may use emotional blackmail (I'll kill myself unless you...). At that point, realize the priblem is his and point that out to him. Direct him to counselling but do not get re-involved with him.10|10|0

Hecklers, Being Egged, and Other Adventures on Tour
We just wrapped up the second to the last leg of the Fall `07 "Wide Eyed & Mystified" tour with Downhere and new Centricity artist Lanae Hale. Last weekend was quite eventful! Here are some highlights from last weekend:
We played for the servicemen at Fort Eustis, VA again. We had a great time there last Spring and we were excited to come back. The General kindly welcomed us and he and his wife had us all over for an amazing dinner in the Magnolia House before the concert. A good Christian man, he shared stories of his experience in the military and honored us as guests.
The soldiers were great and we were grateful to play for them, but there were a number of newer recruits there this Fall, and let's just say I've never encountered better hecklers. At every quiet moment, there was a guy in the front who would holler out, "I'm a trained killer, they train me to kill people here!" And at the end of just about every song, he'd yell "adios!"
It wasn't only a challenge for me, though. During Downhere's set, somebody pulled the fire-alarm, and during their song "The Real Jesus", some guys got up front and started dancing like the rockettes. If it weren't so ridiculous, it wouldn't be funny, but as it was it's a great memory and we all laughed about it afterwards.
By and large, the audience was great and respectful, but there were just a few guys who were a little rowdy. The army will be good for them.
The next night I got egged. Yep, that's right. Egged. When I was done with my set I walked outside to the bus and was ambushed by four guys who started throwing eggs at me and the tour bus. The venue called the cops and when I gave my report I learned that this is a problem they've been having for weeks, so I didn't take it personal or as a reflection of my performance. I washed off the bus and the venue security came out and wiped down the other nearby cars that got hit.
There were some other eventful things that happened this weekend, too, but all in all you just chalk it all up to life experience and you're grateful for the stories you get to take home with you.
Hope to see you at a show soon, and I hope it's one where there aren't armed hecklers who are trained to kill. Until then,

Last night I bought myself a new pair of tennis shoes. Looking at them this evening brought me back to some very sweet memories. One of the many things Grant and I have always had in common was the love of a new pair of shoes. Even when he was a little boy and I worked evenings at Payless Shoes for that ever desired extra money. I'd spend most of my paycheck on the next new darling pair of shoes that stole my heart and all the loving feelings that brought me such joy that next morning when I had a box of the latest pair for one of my 3 special shes or my beloved little he ; ) These are moments all of us moms love to delight in. I never would have thought that I could so vividly think back in time… that I could have memories that are so clear. I can recall words and conversations from the past that are repeated to the exact sentence in my mind. We had a lot of shoes in our house with four sets of little feet equaling every size and that amazing 40% Payless discount. I remember one very special pair of shoes that Grant loved. He set the trend that day at the age of 4; it was around the year of 1992. Grant was one of the first little boys to wake up to the latest and greatest Ninja Turtle light up shoes that Uncle Jim said he just had to have. Running around the house with no lights on and playing no bears out tonight became a little more difficult for Grant considering he had the latest running light show in the neighborhood. This was the beginning of the shoe obsession he had and considering his flat feet seemed to wear a pair of shoes out in a month or so, there was always a good reason for a new pair. The love of shoes began with Ninja Turtle light-ups and ended with several of his favorite Puma brand. Grant would say "Most comfortable shoe made". And in the closet they still sit. They are the ones I bow my face into just to for a minute to smell anything I can of him. I walk around the house in those big shoes thinking a lot about the phrase 'walk in someone else's shoes for a day' before trying to understand or judge them. Even for myself this has become a big reality and lesson to embrace. A lesson that before losing Grant I didn't really practice or give much thought to. I'm sure for many, it's very hard to understand the journey my family is on and I'm sure there are days our family and friends feel like they're walking on egg shells around us, but I understand that. I've walked in those shoes. I didn't understand the depth of grief and I've learned that it's okay that others find my old pair of shoes too uncomfortable to wear… I get it and I understand. I can walk backwards with understanding for they were the same shoes I was once found comfort in. I can continue to step forward with a bit of grace and understanding for every sole doing their best to continue to walk forward; just trying their best to walk a curvy back road called life. Because of you, Grant, I am a better person… because of you I will continue to grow. Below are my new shoe's, not Puma, but Grant would approve.

Besides being a big reader, I enjoy a good movie. I guess I am eccentric in my tastes since there is no one genre I prefer. I have seen many movies at the theater and even more at home thanks to Netflix and Redbox. My dream is to put in a theater in my own home so I can experience them as they are meant to be seen.
Here are my top five favorite movies in no particular order.
Singin' In The Rain (Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds) 1952
This movie recently celebrated its 65th anniversary. I have had the privilege to have seen it on the big screen as well as at our local outdoor theater.
Watching Gene Kelly dance, Donald O'Connor be silly and Debbie Reynolds sing always makes me smile.
I catch myself singing along to all the songs and wanting to dance along with them.
I really wish the art of musicals didn't go out of style.
The Chronicles Of Riddik (Vin Diesel) 2004
I admit it. I find Vin Diesel sexy. I think it is because he is a geek at heart.
The Chronicles of Riddik is the unofficial sequel to Pitch Black (2000). Quick summary of Pitch Black: A transport ship crash lands on an unknown planet infested with night dwelling creatures. Riddik is a prisoner on this ship, but he is the only one that can save the survivors of the crash.
In Chronicles of Riddik, we find that he has been hunted by bounty hunters and has been captured. He is able to escape the prison and get aid on a planet where and old friend lives. But sadly this planet is being taken over by a dark cult who call themselves Necromongers. Riddik is prophesied to defeat this evil.
It is a very good sci-fi flick with lots of hand to hand combat and explosions.
Die Hard (Bruce Willis) 1988
A classmate wrote an amazing paper on this movie comparing it to the political situation a that time. Me? It's just my favorite Christmas movie.
You have John Mclane, the all American hero, who happens to be in the right place at the wrong time. John, being a cop, knows that he has to save the people being held hostage, but he is going to do it bad ass, shoe-less, sarcastic, and brutal.
This movie is best summed up by one quote:
Yippee-kay-yay Motherfucker!
The Sum of All Fears (Ben Affleck) 2002
I don't know if you are familiar with the Jack Ryan movies. (and books, too) They are based on one character who has to save the world because of politics gone bad.
The Sum of All Fears is about Russia and Americas put to war against each other, but they were set up. Jack Ryan has to save the day.
I watch this move on New Year Eve every year. I have no idea why, I'm kookie that way.
Keeping Mum (Rowan Atkinson, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas) 2005
A home falling apart. A daughter who is rebelling, a son who is being bullied, a wife considering an affair, and a husband more devoted to his church than to his family. All they need is someone to bring them back together.
Enter Grace. She is perfect. She sees this family falling apart and she fixes the issues…with murder. But don't get her wrong. She does it all out of love.
This is a dark comedy with a tiny twist ending.
Honorable Mention:
Mulan (Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy) 1998
You can't beat a flick about a girl who kicks ass. And not for love, but for honor and her family.

So to make them bigger, I copied the pattern from Adobe to Microsoft Word and enlarged them to the size of the whole paper. I printed the patterns out and used them as a template to cut out the felt.
Materials needed:
Embroidery Floss
Embroidery Needle
Scissors to cut out felt
|All the felt cut out and ready to go.
|I used a basting stitch to attach the hole in the tree.
|I then cut out my own eyes and mouth since I didn't want to stitch circles like I did for the smaller version, that would take forever. I used the basting stitch again to attach them.
|I started embroidering the corner of the tree. The pattern gives instructions on how to make leaves and such.
|I added some flowers. :)
|I put the back of the tree behind the front then did the basting stitch on the outside. When I got to the part where I wanted the leaf I just stitched across it to keep it in place.
|This shows the excess and my basting stitch to keep it in place. After finishing one side I stuffed the tree with poly-fill, then finished up stitching it up leaving the knot in the bottom.
|This is what the bottom looks like after cutting off the excess.
|Finished result. :)
The Mushroom:
|Cut out felt from pattern, cut out my own eyes and mouth.
|Used basting stitch again to attach eyes, mouth, and spots. Used the same technique for the white spots in the eyes as I did for the tree.
|I then embroidered the bottom part of the mushroom and used a basting stitch to attach the top to the bottom. I should have done this before embroidering by the way, lol.
|Attached top to bottom of the back with a basting stitch as well.
|Started with red floss and worked my way around the top with a basting stitch.
|Stuffed the top with poly-fill.
|Pinned larger piece of felt on the bottom just as I did for the tree and stitched it on.
|Once I was done stitching one side I filled the bottom part with poly-fill.
|All stitched up, just need to cut off the excess felt.
|Finished result! The eyes kinda creep me out so I kinda wish I would've just left the face off but oh well.
That's it! I'll be working on my second mobile for over the changing table for my next blog. :)

We make up for that by ramming his hole full with our hard cocks at BREEDER FUCKERS! He needs assertive instructions about how to go down on a man's eager dick. When he clamps his jaw shut and jerks his head away, Dave corrects Craig by grabbing his ears hard and pushing his head down on Adrian's erection.

Cell life after life: the clinical immortality of Henrietta Lacks
From an unmarked grave, sixty years on, discover a time-lost tobacco farmer, a part of whom now lives on forever: in the map of the human genome, five Nobel prizes, and research that has saved lives for decades.
The life of the most important tissue donor in medical history, begun in a humble shack, was once buried by mystery. Her living cells led to the historical polio vaccine; they are used to this day by researchers exploring cloning, cancer, leukemia---even the secrets of the atomic bomb. Yet twenty five years would pass before "He La"'s contribution would come to light. The intense replication nature of her cells led to cell generation's first true success story.
A descendant of freed slaves wrestled with an aggressive cervical cancer that provided, for her body, a cellular life after life that has changed the face of medical research. Our country's controversial history of experimentation and African American subjects is cross cut and illuminated by the story of this middle-school educated woman's participation and donation of cells now famous the world over.
Author Rebecca Skloot's biographical research into the decades-long saga of the cells of Henrietta Lacks is the focus of THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS. I think the way she captures the human drama with no other agenda than observation paints a picture of the times and the faces behind a web of discoveries. Bioethics is the story of how we arrive at scientific contributions in the context of the humanity of the research from which they are derived. The story of bioethics cannot be told without the life Skloot here examines.
This is not only a story about science, though it is one of the most crucial in medical research history. This is a story about a period of history before racial integration, a very personal story about a woman's life from the margins of a society that relegated the perceived value of a person by class and skin color; yet without Henrietta, an unrecognized and desperate test subject, we are left with our ignorance about a great many avenues of suffering, and possibilities that yet teem on the human horizon. Because her cells live on, and because of a latent, objective universality of biological Man, changes still unrevealed continue from the remains of a woman separated from her contribution by the values of a world still stubbornly passing from memory and actuality.
Rebecca Skloot, a Popular Science magazine contributor, is presently touring the country. If you can make it to Warwick's in San Diego this May 3rd, she will be signing her book at 7:30 pm.
You can learn more about the book---and read an excerpt on her website---here:
"A thorny and provocative book about cancer, racism, scientific ethics and crippling poverty, 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' also floods over you like a narrative dam break, as if someone had managed to distill and purify the more addictive qualities of 'Erin Brockovich,' 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' and 'The Andromeda Strain.' More than 10 years in the making, it feels like the book Ms. Skloot was born to write. It signals the arrival of a raw but quite real talent."

Momma and Son
I do not have the comparative numbers on the lymphatic fluid, but it appears to finally be slowing down some!! Whoo hoo! They collect it and measure it every 8 hours and that is what they use to determine if it is slowing down. The Momma in me says that it "looks" less.
We are excited about Kyle coming up today and some of our dear friends. After David finally settled down with his belly Mike and I slept really well. Rock Star asked me to sleep with him, so this tall Momma curled up with her boy in a pediatic hospital bed and had the best night of sleep ever:) Have we mentioned that he is quickly getting a little spoiled?!:) Now that he is so unplugged it is easier to snuggle with him in his hospital bed to read, watch movies, or sleep.
David is super excited about the Hokie Bird visit and we are excited about Hope and Kyle coming up. I think my parents are bringing Hope tomorrow. They were so kind and went to Marion yesterday to put our Christmas tree up for us. It will be so nice to have that done when we finally get home.
Thank you friends for your kindness and prayers. We are so thankful that we had a good nights sleep last night and this Momma loved being snuggled with my favorite Rock Star. I can't believe that this nightmare started a week ago and that as of tonight we will have been here a whole week. Keep the faith and prayers and specifically pray:
The lymphatic fluid stops now
The chemo will zap out those lung lesions in the first round to avoid radiation down the road. I feel like we will get our first chemo session here before we leave.
That his bowels start moving today-that is a good sign and will please his surgeon.
Traveling mercies for our dear friends coming up today:)
Love to you all:)

We hope you have many good days in your future and know that God will keep you tucked warmly in his arms. Thinking of you daily.ReplyDelete

Michael Wiles joined the Actors' Equity Association (AEA) in 2000, after he had moved to San Francisco to be an actor in 1999. He earned a BFA from the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle in 1997. After Wiles began working full-time as an actor in Shakespearian plays and eventually musicals, Wiles joined the AEA because he wanted to be a part of an organization that had been protecting the art of live theater. The AEA represents the rights of working actors and other performance professionals in the United States, negotiating contracts and fighting to better career opportunities and wages for all performance professionals in the country.
The AEA was founded in 1913 when actors had to fight each other for parts, faced discrimination, exorbitant work expenses, and even abuse by some directors and theater owners. 112 actors were the first members of the AEA. They met in the Pabst Grand Circle Hotel in New York City on May 26th, and the battle for actors' rights and interests began. By 1915, the AEA's numbers had grown prodigiously, and the organization started publishing its own newsletter to inform its many members across the performance industry in a rapidly widening area and help rally support for its many causes. Michael Wiles knew he could rely on this organization to represent his professional interests in an industry that has long been noted for its unforgiving nature.
Today, the AEA continues to represent its members' interests, now on a national scale. With over 50,000 members across the United States, the AEA has the clout to affect wages and actors' rights legislation in many places. Michael Wiles and other performance professionals like him have come to rely on the AEA for protection and connections that make all the difference in an acting or directing career.

The NaturalistPosted: April 2, 2012 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: blue, captoe flats, mustard cardigan, navy graphic tee, necklace, red, red pants, yellow 6 Comments
I haven't seen Game of Thrones so don't tell me anything!
The other day I was out taking my outfit photos when I saw a girl wearing a pair of red jeans with navy shirt and a yellow jacket. It sounds ghastly when you say it, but it actually looks really good in person (I didn't take a picture of the girl, for fear of looking stalker-ish), so I decided to recreate it.
My shirt says "Natürlichkeit", which means "Naturalness" in German, so in that spirit, I actually lay down on the grass to get this picture of my shoes against the cherry blossoms… and got a shirt full of grass seed pods for my trouble. I do like nature, but I don't think I'm dressed for it most of the time.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia - National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia, which is becoming embroiled in U.S. investigations of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International scandal, is likely to weather the storm, bankers here said.
The bank, the largest in Saudi Arabia, was notified July 8 that the Federal Reserve Board was starting legal proceedings against it and its former chief operating officer, Khaled bin Mahfouz.
Its only foreign branch, in New York, was ordered to close by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which approved a 60-day liquidation plan. The office was charged, among other things, with failing to provide complete financial disclosures.
Impact Called Small
Bankers in Saudi Arabia said National Commercial, although hurt by the loss of credibility resulting from the United States move, was largely unaffected.
"It may look like an elephant in trouble but it does not stand on quicksand," one banker said. "It stands on the solid ground of a huge depositor base. It is also the principal banker of the Saudi royal family and will not be allowed to buckle."
"It is not another BCCI," said another banker.
Bankers said the country's powerful central bank, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, would not allow National Commercial to collapse. "The bank is too big and too important," one banker said.
Mr. Mahfouz's alleged involvement with BCCI, which was closed down in a multinational sweep by regulators a year ago, focused attention on NCB's own failure to publish audited results since 1989.
Assets Little Changed
Unusual in being a private partnership and not a limited-liability corporation like most other big banks, National Commercial suffered the indignity last month of having its credit rating withdrawn by the only body that rates Middle East borrowers.
Observers said the problems had affected the bank's business in the past few weeks but this left hardly a dent in assets, said by the bank to be $22 billion at the end of last year.
A bank source put present liquidity at about $6 billion, some 30% of deposits.
Unaudited 1991 figures show the bank's business has not kept up with the extraordinary growth of the Saudi banking sector in the past three years.
While deposits and assets at most other Saudi banks have grown, sometimes up to 50%, National Commercial's yearend deposits fell 5.5% in the two years ended last Dec. 31, to about $20 billion. Assets fell 5.2% in the same time span.
The bank continues to account for about 30% of total bank assets in the kingdom.
Khaled bin Mahfouz has quit the bank, in which his father is majority shareholder, handing over his duties to his brother Mohammad.
Khaled denied any wrongdoing and said he would vigorously defend his reputation against allegations he misled BCCI depositors by disguising his sale of a major stake months before the collapse of BCCI, which was largely owned by the ruling Nahayan family of Abu Dhabi.
As a private parnership NCB is not obliged to publish figures in Saudi Arabia, although it must provide them to the central bank.
National Commercial's failure to publish results since 1989 is attributed by bankers to a significant number of nonperforming loans to many of the powerful in Saudi Arabia.
"You have to understand that it is impossible to call in such loans. NCB's only hope is that some of those people will be sensitive to its predicaments and pay up. That is if they are able to do so," one banker said.
Another thought it unlikely problem loans would be repaid in the short term.

Siemens has confirmed that it will use the Symbian platform for its forthcoming SmartPhone products. The company has bought a five per cent stake in the joint venture for £14.25m, joining Ericsson, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, and Sony Ericsson as shareholders. Samsung is now the largest phone maker without a seat on the Symbian board, though it has licenced Symbian software. Speculation will now mount about whether the Korean giant will come on board. The news will come as a blow to Microsoft, which has been looking for a major handset manufacturer to commit to its rival to the Symbian platform, SmartPhone 2002, formerly named Stinger. The Symbian-Siemens deal does not explicitly rule out Microsoft, but it firmly establishes Symbian as the German handset maker's platform of choice. The deal cements an announcement made by Siemens last February that it would build smart phones based on the Symbian platform. Symbian also announced that it will be opening the source code of its operating system to a range of technology partners under the "Symbian Platinum Program". ARM, Intel, and Texas Instruments are among the companies that have already signed up to the deal. Related Topics: PCs Servers Storage Networking Data Centers 0

Book II:
Satan has drawn all the fallen angels into a large counsel in his Temple, perched on a volcano top. He addresses them to give them courage. After all, he says, they need not fear ever falling again. He asks for suggestion on how best to continue battling heaven.
Moloch stands up and suggests open warfare on the battlefield. They have nothing to lose, he says, there is no hell worse than this that God can send them if defeated. Even if God kills them, surely this would be better than living in hell forever. Finally, he says, even if they are defeated, "… if not victory is yet revenge."
Belial stands and disagrees. Even if God could kill them, he said, he never would. And there just might be worse hells than where they are now. It is a useless action anyway, he says, because God sees everything and would know exactly what they are doing. Belial suggests that they stay in hell and hope that God either relents on the punishment, or that they will, over time, grow used to the obnoxious fumes and pain.
Mammon stands up and says that neither idea is really acceptable. Open warfare would be an exercise in futility and, even if they were allowed back in heaven, is that a place where they want to spend eternity serving? It is better to live in hell where God's light never interferes. Mammon suggest no war at all, just build a kingdom where they are, and maybe someday they will have a kingdom that will be equal to heaven's .
The crowd cheers at Mammon's speech.
Beelzebub stands and tells the crowd that this will not do either. There is no place where God does not reign, he reigns even here in hell though his presence is not seen as easily. So it is silly, he says, to talk about war and peace when they will be eternally opposed to God and his kingdom, whether they like it or not. "War hath determined us."
Beelzebub then tells them of a new race that God has created called "Man." Man is not as powerful as the angels, but he is God's chosen favorite among creations. Beelzebub suggests that they seek revenge against God by seducing Man to their side.
All of the fallen angels agree unanimously to this decision. Satan asks for a volunteer to find out more about this creation, but none volunteer. They are all afraid of the chasm, called chaos, that lies between hell and the island of earth. Satan then says that he himself will go.
Hell is described. It has a geography like earth, with rivers and mountains, but "where all life dies, death lives and nature breeds, perverts, all monstrous, and all prodigious things." Hell is all the worst of nature: natural disasters, violent streams and volcanoes, unfriendly seas, darkness.
Satan flies to the gates of hell where he meets two beings guarding the gate. One is Sin, half woman, half serpent with group of hell hounds howling around her. The other is Death, a large black shape that stands in front of Satan, blocking his path. Satan knocks him down by throwing pestilence and war at him.
Sin scolds Satan, and tells him that she is his daughter, born in heaven when Satan first thought of rebelling. Later, they were lovers in heaven and she and Satan produced Death, their son. (As an aside, Death raped Sin and produced the hell hounds which surround her forever.)
Satan tells them he is trying to get out of hell to find earth. If he finds it, and there is a race called man, then the three of them can rule it together and Death's hunger will never be satiated.
Sin opens the gates of hell, which now can never be shut, and they gaze at the abyss of Night and Chaos.
Satan flies for a time in the darkness and then comes to the throne of Chaos and his consort, Night. Satan tells him he is only passing through, trying to find earth.
Chaos tells him the way to earth, which is connected to heaven by a golden chain.
With each of the demon's proposals to fight heaven, we see a reflection a number of different worldly concepts of good and evil, heaven and hell. Milton, with the devils, has his own idea of how good and evil is balanced and, with the devils, refute the others as impossible.
These constructs include: an eternal war between good and evil (seen in folk religions where evil spirits must be warded off by good spirits), evil's submission to good and hope of redemption (seen in new age concepts that all things are, in their essence, good), and the opposite yet equal kingdoms of good and evil (seen in Eastern religions with the Yin/Yang concepts). All these suggestions do not work for the devils, and, Milton is suggesting, they do not work theologically either.
First, there can be no all out, open warfare between heaven and hell, because it would be an exercise in futility. Despite the logic of Moloch's proposal, Heaven and goodness will always be more powerful than evil, there is no battle.
Second, evil will never go away. The fallen angels will always exist, they will never be forgiven, they will never be accepted back by God.
Finally, there can be no peace between heaven and earth, as Mammon suggests. Hell will exist, but it will not be an equal empire to heaven. Evil will exist, but it will not be equal to good. There is no yin/yan equality here. Evil, though the furthest from God, is still under God's reign.
The battlefield, as Beelzebub suggests, will be moved to the souls of mankind. The theory of the human soul as an eternal battlefield between good and evil forces reflects a common element of the theology of Milton's time. There, on a sort of neutral ground away from heaven and hell, evil angels can battle against good angels in a field which makes them nearly equal.
This particular concept we see reflected even today when cartoons are drawn of the devil and the good angel whispering into the left and right sides of a character's ear. Revenge of the fallen angels will be taken out against man, though Milton is suggesting that in the end good will win over.
The description of hell as a geographical place has physical properties that we find in our own world, and we will later find in the description of heaven. There are mountains, valleys, rivers, and seas. The difference between hell and earth, and especially hell and heaven, is that hell has the worst of nature. Milton emphasizes the awful, inescapable smells of hell, the raging "perpetual storms," the rivers with their "waves of torrent fire." By drawing hell as nature gone wrong, Milton also attempts to answer the age-old question of why, if God created this beautiful earth, does it sometimes seem to go against us. Why is there famine, flood, and fire that kill and destroy? Milton demonstrates that these events are nature perverted, nature not as it was intended to be. These events were caused by the creation of hell and evil after Satan's fall.
Contrast, however, the geography of hell with the geography of Chaos and Night. The Chaos is ruled over by "Rumour next and Chance, And Tumult and Confusion all embroiled." In Chaos there is true darkness. Milton compares the situation in Chaos to a nation embroiled in a civil war on a macro scale, to a man paralyzed by indecision and loss of reason on a micro scale. Hell, at least, is contained and is actually ruled by a some sort of law. There is a king and a temple, there are actual visible geographical locales. But in chaos there is no order, one can fall forever (as Satan almost did) in a dark ocean of nothingness. On the other hand, the Chaos is not evil. It is not a perversion of good or of nature. It is land where nothing holds. It is from this Chaos, as is told in the Genesis story, that heaven and earth are created, and where God creates light.
Finally, in this book we are introduced to the first of a number of parrallel trinities that Milton will compare and contrast. The unholy trinity introduced at the end of Book II consist of Satan, his consort/daughter Sin, and his only son, Death. Their relationship is based on lust: Satan raped his daughter Sin and they had Death. Death later raped his mother Sin and she gave birth to the hell hounds that now suround her. Note that Satan tries to kill his only son, Death, when he first approaches the gates of hell. This will contrast with the circumstances that will surround God sacrificing his only son in later books.
The personificaiton of concepts, in this case Death and Sin, was a common literary tool in Milton's time, seen most prominently in Spencer's "The Faerie Queene," which greatly influenced Milton's own work.

Living Room Inspiration
For the past year, I've been tucking away ideas and inspiration for my living room.
The general idea:
- I'd like it to stay bright.
- The style I'd like to achieve: I'd like to hover somewhere between traditional and modern… eclectic?..
- I am open to painting some part of the fireplace… and some of the furniture..
- We are informal people, so no fancy-schmancy textiles or things I would have to cover in plastic to sit on ;)
- We have a 19-month-old, so things have to be durable and washable!
- It is a living room after all, so I'd like to eat, drink, live, play, and party in this room.
- Any purchases should be second-hand or from budget stores, after all, I'm not buying new furniture so our child (and future children) can express their artistic creativities all over it… not doing it..
Well, I have a bazillion of ideas swimming around in my head, but I've managed to wrangle some in and lock them onto a Pinterest board.
(click on the picture to link to my LV pinterest board)
What do you think? This is a suggestions-friendly blog, so I'd love to hear them!

Pete Rose, again? Well, that's just great. Just what I wanted to spend my e-column inches on this week.
In case you missed it – and by "you" I mean the Rose apologist with a "Yeah, well, he never bet as a player" always at the ready – it turns out he did, in 1986. Baseball's hit king bet on baseball as a manager and as a player, gambling with Tony Soprano-like figures in New York, we now know, at least during that one baseball season.
And he's been lying about it the whole damn time. New evidence exists; it's right there for all to see, in black and white and Reds all over.
In an absolutely fascinating ESPN.com story, William Weinbaum and T.J. Quinn explain the latest dope on Rose, detailing evidence reported by Outside the Lines, about a postal service investigation which began innocently enough with a "'failure to render [services]' complaint."
Some criminal neglected to return some items to customers who'd paid him for autographed memorabilia. It didn't matter that the autographs were forged; the least he could do was stick them in the mail. Oh, and the criminal, turns out he'd kept a notebook in his basement, with a bunch of notations marked, "PETE," and he was connected to organized crime.
So game, set and match. Pete Rose bet on baseball. He gambled as a player and as a manager. "'This does it. This closes the door," John Dowd, the former federal prosecutor who led MLB's investigation, says in the ESPN piece.
And this is just one "PETE" notation in one notebook in one basement of one criminal regarding one season we're talking about here. Rose debuted in 1963. Do you really think he first got the bet-on-Cincinnati itch twenty years later?
Look, I've railed against Rose's reinstatement before, most recently tackling both the 25-years-is-long-enough argument and the "Yeah, but the Hall of Fame is filled with liars, villains and sinners" defense. But since the Charlie Hustle saga is in our faces yet again, here's what occurs to me today:
1. "The implications for baseball are terrible," Dowd tells ESPN. "[The mob] had a mortgage on Pete while he was a player and manager."
Still think Rose should be in enshrined in Cooperstown? I admire your loyalty. Take it up with the Hall of Fame, which has a board of directors. It's their building. Or boycott the place. Next time you're in the neighborhood, save yourself the 23 bucks and walk on by. Put your money on the Reds to win that day. Or better yet, to lose.
2. "Yeah, but he never bet against his team," you say? That's an assumption. Up until yesterday, you had no idea about his gambling as a player.
Consider that, when a manager bets on his team to win, it sends a signal to the gamblers that he may do more to affect that game's result than he otherwise would if he didn't have money on the contest. He might do it intentionally; he might not. It doesn't matter.
Say, for example, that Rose bets on his Reds to win some hot August day at Riverfront in 1986. Since he's gambling on that game, but not on the one before or after (and only he knows his plan for the next day), maybe he allows reliever John Franco to take the ball for one more of his career-high 101 innings to get the particular outs that Rose must have to win that particular bet. Or maybe ace Tom Browning stretches out longer than he would have otherwise. Maybe Eric Davis appears in 133 games that season, instead of 132.
When Rose doesn't bet on the Reds to win the next day – or doesn't bet on any particular Reds' game – that tells the bookies the skipper doesn't think his club is good for the win. And on and on it goes, even if the Reds finish 162-0 with Rose winning every last bet.
3. Allowing Rose to participate in the All-Star Game in Cincinnati on July 14 is a bad idea. You can blame Bud Selig for that one. Rose shouldn't have been on the field during the 1999 All-Century celebration either. That's on Selig too. Banned means banned, and it's not a complicated concept.
4. There should be no reinstatement of any kind for Pete Rose. Not an appearance at an All-Star Game in his home town, not a ceremony of any kind in any big league town. The official language is "permanently ineligible" for a reason. No special consideration for Rose. No quarter. He's simply not worth it, not now.

Presents left unopened.
December's left behind.
The world has already started
it's steady crumbling decline.
Innocence is broken
shattered, turned to ash
Guilt becomes unheard of
the grief has turned to mask
Too often we come together in sadness
misery, anger and tears…
We blame each other's ignorance
and with this, it fuels our fears.
Stomp out in our frustration
and beg and plead 'no more'
And go tread on like soldiers
in this never ending war
-Deneé J.
This poem derived from some feelings I was having after the Sandy Hook Elementary School catastrophe. May we keep their families, as well as others involved in these senseless acts, in our prayers.

…in Canada.
For those who don't follow Canadian politics, this has been on the cards for a while. The ruling Conservatives are a minority government who have had to really on the support of the two oppostion parties, the Liberals and Bloc Quebecois for some time. In recent months, this situation hasn't been working and several ministers have resigned.
Of note is that fact that in Canada, the Liberals are the 'natural party of government' (and unlike in Australia, are actually liberal), and so it gives us a chance to see what our sister parties can do and more to the point, what we can learn from them.
For those who want to keep an eye on the election I reccomend the following links:
Liblogs (Liberal Party version of Lib Dem Blogs)
Young Liblogs (Youth version of above)
The CBC (Canadian equivalent of the BBC)
CTV (Canadian equivalent of ITV)
The Globe and Mail (Canada's 'newspaper of record' like The Times)
The Toronto Star (Canadian equivalent of The Guardian)
The Canada Post (UK based Canadian newspaper, aimed at ex-pats but rather good at expalining things for non Canadians)

Jeez, seems like I came in, and now everyones gone.
Im still here...just dealing with a bad headache that I have had since injuring my head last week from a fall and cant seem to get anyone to realize this is not MENTAL pain...ugh...
You had a headache since hitting your head in a fall? Its possible you may have a mild concussion. If it keeps up, you should have it look at
i fell at work on ice, knocked my head on pavement. Stayed awake but saw stars and had ringing ears and I did get looked at. They did a CT Scan which was normal but the headaches are unrelenting since then. And at the ER the Dr said contussion not concussion eventhough I had no scrape, I had a welt and I was nauseous and walking into walls vision disturbance the whole nine, but he saw mental health stuff on my record and had no time for me. Not sure I want to go back in and subject myself to that kind of BS
I was in uniform as well...I am A DPS certified Officer...if I am well enough to hold a job like this I am well enough to be taken at face value and not judged, total BS. I will report it as soon as I get the form that has his name on it for patient satisfaction survey.

Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan(AAA) SIMBU Movie Review
Twitter review:
The movie will hit the screens in India on Friday, June 23. The early morning shows have been cancelled over the last-minute financial issues between the distributors and the producer. However, the movie had premieres in some overseas centres. Below, find what the international audience are saying about the Simbu's film:
Praveen: #AAA1D #AAA — 2.5/5 Starts like Kabali & ends like Padayappa. Meanwhile I have no clue what the story is about. Waiting for the conclusion.
#AAA #AAA1D — The #MaduraiMichael portion suffers largely due to repetitive scenes that lacks depth & romance half baked. Interval saves.
#AAA1D #AAA — The film is all abt heroism & STR's punches along with his own references. He rocked as #AshwinThatha, enjoyable some extent.
#AAA #AAA1D — Lacklustre songs from #Yuvan but makes up with sensational trademark themes and bgms, the saviour. Fun moments, occasionally.
Sridevi sreedhar: #AAA1D Superb Rocking introduction scene for @iam_str Entire theatre in frenzy #RathamEnRatham song is awesome
#AnbanavanAsaradhavanAdangadhavan A film for boys! @Adhikravi has packaged #AAA1D strictly for @iam_str fans and they seem to b enjoying
Abishek S: @iam_str 'energy is one to cherish! @thisisysr 's BGM anchors the film @Adhikravi has surprisingly handled a bigger canvass quite well!
After #SivaKumar ayya, @shriya1109 is the healthiest actor on screen! Be it her looks or the performance, nothing has changed!
#AAA1D – First 10 mins had the spike but then slowly resorted to regular glorification of the protagonist! Interval once agin had a high!

Serves 50. Vegan and Gluten Free. Start the night before soaking the chickpeas.
This is a filling soup suitable for lunches, but can be thinned down for a first course.
5kg carrots
1kg dried chickpeas (soaked overnight, rinsed, cooked, rinsed)
2.5kg tinned sweetcorn.
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons oil
10 large onions
5 teaspoon cumin powder
a pinch of dried chilli flakes,
8 teaspoons good vegetable stock powder/paste.
- Heat your oven to 180°C.
- Wash your carrots and slice thickly, and toss into a roasting tin. Add the chickpeas and sweetcorn. Pour over the oil, mix in the garlic and give it all a shuffley-shake to lightly coat it, and pop it in the oven for 20-30 minutes. They should only be a single layer deep in the tin at this stage otherwise you're steaming rather than roasting.
- Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your onion, and set to one side. When your first 20 minutes is up, remove the roasting tin from the oven, scatter the onion over, and the cumin and chilli, and give it all another shake. Cook for a further 20-30 minutes, until it looks golden.
- Tip all the roasted mixture into a large pan. (keep a few chickpeas aside if you fancy – you can use them as garnish). Add the stock and hot water to just cover the mixture. Whizz with a blender stick until a thick puree. Add more water to the desired consistency, but be aware of the balance of flavour if making it a thinnish soup, you may need to add more stock powder and spices.
- Bring to the boil and simmer gently. Adjust seasoning as needed.Serve with the extra roasted chickpeas as garnish, bread, salads and hummus.

Realia: National Museum of Scotland
Saturday, 31st December, 2011
[updated with vocab.]
Visiting museums and galleries we often pick out the guide leaflet in a few languages, and compare translations. Most recently we were at the National Museum of Scotland and I picked out the Chinese and Russian versions (as well as the English).
Some highlights:
- The English version was entitled "Map", and the Chinese version had a similar general term "地图" (dì tú, map). The Russian was entitled "схема". The usual Russian word for map is "карта". A Google image search can illustrate the difference in meaning:
"Карта" is used for geographical maps, "схема" is used for diagrams and plans.
- Chinese has no word for "Scotland" — or rather, the Chinese word for "Scotland" is onomatopoeic: "苏格兰" (sūgélán). Note "land" becomes "兰" (lán, orchid), rather than for example 国 (guó, country/nation).
- The emotive language in the English is generally avoided in the other languages — e.g., "a selection of treasues" becomes "избранные экспонаты" (selected exhibits) — but occasionally the translators find a fitting idiom — e.g., "getting the most out of your visit" becomes "让您的参观满载而归" (ràng nín de cān guān mǎn zài ér guī). The first five characters translate as something like "let your visit be"; the final four characters is an idiom meaning (pseudo)literally "full to the brim and go back".
