The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street by Helene Hanff
I regret to report my (foreseeable?) disappointment in the sequel to 84, Charing Cross Road. Sigh.
I read this one in the library (Yes! The library!), and I read it in one sitting. Sadly, the single-sitting aspect was as if to get it over with. I hate to admit that, and I am in a funk about not loving it because I so wanted to have another head-over-heels in love with a book about books experience.
Isn't it always the way? You have to be very careful about what you read after reading a book that knocks your socks off.
The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street is Helene Hanff's diary of her visit to London in 1971. 84, Charing Cross Road has been published in America, the fan mail has been pouring in, André Deutsch has bought the rights for English publication, and she is off to London for the launch in England. She meets her English publisher, she meets Nora and Sheila Doel and a host of other friends of friends and strangers who loved the book and who want to show their England off to her.
There is a lot of her characteristic wit and self-deprecation. There is the American frustration with an English excuse for a shower. There is an abundance of strawberries and cream and English roses. There is the warm and fuzzy feeling of her meeting fans who want to wine and dine her. There is the satisfaction of narrative closure, the end of the story of her endlessly deferred trip to her beloved London. But there is none of the magic of the previous book. Perhaps it is a question of form. Without others' voices, it somehow does not take off.
She writes that she wants to put "Euphoria" as the return address on her postcards home, but she also describes how taxing it can be to live up to her fans' expectations, how exhausting it is to be with people all day: "People unhinge me."
It occurs to me that Helene herself shared my sense of anti-climax. Here she is, finally, in the London with which she has fallen in love through books: "All my life I've wanted to see London. … Sometimes, at home in the evening, reading a casual description of London by Hazlit or Leigh Hunt, I'd put the book down suddenly, engulfed by a wave of longing that was like homesickness." How can the real thing possibly measure up?
It does, of course, in many ways, but I sensed throughout her negotiating her experiences, not simply having them. She must be polite to her many hosts, and she must work at making the trip measure up to expectation.
My reading experience, too, was a negotiation. There was the satisfaction of narrative closure, but it simply could not compensate for the missing elements: the immediacy of her pleasure in exchanging letters with Frank, and her palpable love of books and reading.

I grew up on a dairy/grain farm outside of Weyburn, Sk. I have a BSc in Agriculture from the U of S with a major in Animal Science and a minor in Dairy and Food Science. I work as the Provincial Dairy Specialist for SaskMilk. Prior to this I worked for Saskatchewan Agriculture as the Provincial Dairy Specialist managing the Provincial Dairy Laboratory and dairy regulations until that position and duties were turned over to SaskMilk. I have been involved with agriculture education in this province for more than 25 years starting with Canadian Western Agribition's Agri-Ed program and working in conjunction with AITC to expand the dairy demonstrations to a number of different agri-ed venues across the province. I believe that as the next generations become more and more removed from agriculture and the farm that AITC will play a critical role in agriculture education across the province and the country.

Allscripts, a developer of electronic medical records, said Monday it laid off 60 employees at its Raleigh office last week as part of a company-wide reduction of 250 employees.
The company had previously laid off 30 Raleigh employees in the first quarter.
The latest staff cuts came on the heels of Allscripts reducing its revenue projections earlier this month; the cuts leave about 1,140 employees at Allscripts's Raleigh office, the Chicago-based company's largest site.
Allscripts said it eliminated positions across numerous divisions, including services, support, solutions management, sales and administrative functions.
"We've been continuing to try to run a more and more efficient operation, and that's not going to stop this quarter," Rick Poulton, Allscripts chief financial officer, told analysts during a May 7 conference call.
Raleigh benefited two years ago in another corporate restructuring when Allscripts consolidated operations here and announced it would add 350 jobs at its North Raleigh office.
The company was eligible for as much as $5.35 million in state incentives if it retained 1,266 jobs it had here in 2013 and added 350 new positions. Allscripts was required to add the new positions by the end of 2017 under its incentives agreement.
The company said Tuesday it doesn't expect to meet its job-creation targets in the near-term.
"We never received incentive payments from the state and do not expect to qualify for payments in the near-term," said Allscripts spokeswoman Concetta DiFranco.
She said Allscripts remains committed to the Triangle.
"Raleigh remains our single largest facility in the United States and the talent pool in and around Raleigh remains some of the best in the country," DiFranco said. "We anticipate again capitalizing on this talent pool as we continue to invest in strategic areas of our business."
Allscripts reported earlier this month that its first-quarter bookings were $236 million, up $13 million from the same period last year. But total revenue declined 2 percent to $335 million, which the company attributed to a fall off in the company's non-recurring professional services business.
Allscripts is shifting its focus to a recurring-revenue subscription model that delivers higher profit margins and has better growth potential. Sixty-three percent of the company's bookings in the first quarter were such customers, compared with 54 percent during the same period last year.
Allscripts reduced its full-year revenue forecast for 2015 by about $30 million, going from a range of $1.43 billion to $1.46 billion to a range of $1.4 billion to $1.43 billion.
The company's shares closed Monday at $14.08, down 10 cents. The stock is up 10 percent this year.

Monday, 16 January, 2017
This week, it has rained a lot. So much!! Every road becomes a little river when it rains. And there is so much lightning here. Every storm has lighting. Like 3 times this week the town has almost flooded. Everywhere we walk has a few inches of water. haha. Every day I have to dry my shoes outside because they are so wet. I'm learning a lot still, and I dream and think in Portuguese sometimes!. There is shootings here sometimes but it was a lot worse when I first got here. A drunk man grabbed me the other day. It was very scary because he is a very tall. He was yelling at me because I was white. haha. But the work is still good here. Having problems with baptisms because people don't go to church so we have to post pone. but we get a lot of teaching done every day. We walk for hours. I'm so tired every day, but I know its for a good thing. To help people change. It's just hard when they wont listen to me. And I feel like I'm forgetting sign language haha. I'm very happy for Joseph and Zach too. I will pray for him too.

Roots of Reggae: keep on dubbing
Posted by rootsofreggae on January 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment
In true New Year's Resolution-style, I thought I would write this post today and not tomorrow so that I can say I've kept the promise I made to myself to blog more regularly on all things Roots of Reggae-related. From a distance at least three new posts in January looks a lot better than two in January and one in February. That's not to say I haven't got plenty of good things to report. Quite the opposite in fact. Here's a look back and what's happening and an early heads-up on things you NEED to get involved with going forward.
Funding future Roots of Reggae events
Last time I talked about the prescience of the Wu-Tang Clan's song C.R.E.A.M. to where Roots of Reggae is right now. I'm pleased to say I've taken my first step to funding future Roots of Reggae events by applying for funding from UnLtd, a charity whose mission is to support social entrepreneurs – people with vision, drive, commitment and passion who want to change the world for the better. An award from UnLtd would give me the funds I need to pay volunteers' expenses and cover other costs of putting on events. I won't hear whether I've been successful in my bid until early March. In the mean time, I am continuing to explore other funding options.
As ever, if you have any good ideas for funding Roots of Reggae could apply for, please do get in touch by email email@example.com or on Twitter @RootsofReggae.
Internationally known and locally respected (pts 1 + 2)
There's no easy way of saying this without sounding big headed so I'll just go ahead and get it over with. Last week I got a sneak-peak at what it must feel like to be famous when I saw that I had been featured on the CITZN website under the ego-boosting headline: 'People Making Things Better: Francis Clarke'. CITZN is a new organisation building a simple platform for organisations to crowd sourcesolutions to social issues – and engage with people who want to help – by challenging the public to share their best ideas.
While it is a little embarrassing to see your name up on a website I am pleased Roots of Reggae is being recognised as the special project it is. Along with the prize I received from Hub King's Cross and Simpl, I am hopeful all this publicity and goodwill for Roots of Reggae will help the project attract the funding it needs to continue to develop.
Continuing the praise theme, I was very pleased last week when Laura Mills, Event Manager for the Ritzy Brixton, put me in touch with a gentleman by the name of Michael Arkk. Michael is a man with a plan. That plan is to put on an amazing music festival called Heritage of Ska in Brockwell Park this summer over the weekend of Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July (put it in your calendars now). Michael was impressed by December's Roots of Reggae launch event and has asked me to get involved with the festival with a view to showcasing how ska evolved into rocksteady, reggae and (one step) beyond.
It's still early days for Roots of Reggae's involvement with the Heritage of Ska festival but I am flattered to have been approached and am looking forward to helping connect Michael with the many talented performers and supports who made last month's launch event such a success. Looking ahead to later in the year, I hope to be able to link up with other like-minded projects to grow this thing of ours.
Date for your diary: Dub Me Always, Upstairs at the Ritzy Brixton, Weds 8th February, FREE all evening
Before I go I want to let you know that next Wednesday Upstairs at the Ritzy plays host to Dub Me Always, Brixton's longest running reggae night. Your host for the evening is David Katz, biographer to reggae pioneer Lee 'Scratch' Perry and a man with an envious collection of rare dub and reggae vinyl. If you like the sound of vintage reggae sounds in a chilled cafe-bar environment then I suggest you get yourself along next week and every second Wednesday of the month from here on in. I've blogged previously about this unique Brixton institution. You can check out what I had to say by clicking here.

And yes, they felt the need - will be a good reminder of the culture of the times.
Girls with cousins at the Spring Hill station.
On the commuter train to DC. Sure glad this was an option. Not a big fan of driving in cities - actually its more the parking.
Capital building from the back. Emmerson had found an abandoned tour guide flag so carried it around for a while playing tour guide for Ada.
Justice building? Across the street from the backside of the capital.
Getting wired up for the tour - girls with their cousins.
Interior of the dome.
Another frieze showing some curious stuff - looks like someone is about to get axed ... or maybe they are cutting timber.
Interior of the dome of the Capital - rather Renaissancie looking.
Another Hall with Abe - the girls are very familiar with Mr. Lincoln as he was from Illinois so he is all over our state.
Statuary Hall
In the National Statuary Hall where they have statues representing the US States. Again, not sure why we took Florida ....
I forgot what this was - but the guide told us and at the time it seemed interesting.
Security and access was VERY different than when I went 30 years ago but we could still see some of the chambers and offices and such - but most of it was quite structured. I recall being able to simply walk about back when I went as a kid - kind of like just walking around a big office building ....
Emmerson liked this statue in the Capital as it was quite fancy and different than most of the others.
Back side of the Capital Building.
Can usually find some rather curious stuff if you look closely at the details of buildings and such as evidenced by the bull in this sculpted frieze on the capital building.
They were building the staging area for the inauguration so the front lawn was fenced off.
Front side of the Capital.
Down the mall from the Capital building to the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial in the background.
Emmerson doing this thing.
Drummer guy with a serious kit.
World War II memorial where all the countries that fought in the war are represented. Emmerson with the Philippines.
Reflecting pool and Lincoln Memorial
Girls still are really good sports when we drag them around. They are curious and can entertain eachother quite effectively when they get bored. Very grateful for this as we have dragged them around to lots of places.
Lots of tourists on this day - as it was the holiday week between Christmas and New Years.
The iconic photo of the Washington monument and the reflective pool from the Lincoln Memorial.
Emmerson in full squint outside the White House.
Quite different that when I came 30 some odd years ago. I recall walking right up the steps and into the White House .... We tried to get a tour but the White House staff was on Holiday so no tours.
I think this was the building for the offices of the executive branch of the government.

mneme and I caught the 4 pm Fung Wah bus to Boston. This was a reasonably comfortable, but slow ride, as we hit rush hour traffic. We got to the hotel by about 9:30. Check-in was acceptable, but odd. The woman was quite friendly, and noted that we had 2 double beds, party floor. We asked if we could have a king sized bed, and she said that we could, but the room we were given had 2 double beds. We didn't mind, as these were genuine queen-sized beds, not the smaller double beds I've been seeing more often, even in hotels that I could have sworn used to have bigger beds.
We were too late for registration, but we found the con suite, and got the last lonely piece of cake. We also found the filking, and Lee and Barry Gold. Much good singing. I wanted to read the maze scene from Growing Up Weightless, but didn't have a copy with me, so I took full advantage of my sidekick to get to Harry of Five Points on Making Light and read the first two installments of that. mnemex and I sang N'im Ineteen for Ben and Sarah, who have not yet seen The Muppet Frog Prince. Lee and Barry sang "The Childish Edda", and mnemex, Ben, and I sang Tom Smith's "Falling Free", which, I am assured, sounded fine. I closed one ear so that I would not be pulled off whatever line of music I was singing, which I gather worked, but did mean that I couldn't hear everything as it sounded.
We crashed out at about 3 am or so.
I think we woke up about 11 or noon. We did the Dealers' Room, and managed the Art Show as well, due to the interesting layout of space. There was one large space subdivided into three parts. First was the Dealers' Room, then the Art Show, then the Con Suite. No one required bag checking for the Art Show, which meant that it was easy to spend at least a little time looking at the art.
It was well worth looking at. I doubt I appreciated it the way I ought to have. Guided docent tours are the way to go, especially with Teresa Nielsen Hayden and Ctein. Still, it was good to see how much 3-dimensional art the art shows get these days.
I managed to find spare copies of John M. Ford's Growing Up Weightless, Princes of the Air, and Timesteps at Larry's table, the last place I would have expected that, but this is why one asks the friendly book dealers. I got a line on a possible other copy of Growing Up Weightless, a trade paperback edition. I wanted one as a present, and one as either a present or to have a spare so I could loan out my copy.
I also got a spare copy of Weirdstone of Brisengamen and Elidor, and a copy of Elizabeth Hand's latest anthology, as well as a book on forging, as in smithcraft. I got 2 cds, one of Neil Gaiman reading his work, and the Flash Girls cd Maurice and I. I'd been searching for that latter for years, since foolishly not buying it at the Arisia they played at years ago. I also foolishly didn't buy Robin Anders' drumming cd. Ah well, maybe it'll come back into print, too. And, I got some of Auntie Arwen's lovely jalapeno chocolate fudge and chocolate covered coffee beans.
At 2 pm, mnemex and I made Lee and Barry's concert. After that, I discovered that the panel on blogging was in the same room. This had been a panel I'd thought about making, so I stayed. John Scalzi spent the first few minutes saying that he thought the topic was now obsolete, though the panelists would be entertaining for the hour. This suited me, as I learned years ago that the panel topic is nearly irrelevant. The important thing is who the panelists are. With John Scalzi, Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Jim Macdonald, and Kathryn Cramer, I knew I'd have a good time.
John Scalzi noted that he got folks who commented on his blog that they wouldn't read his books any more unless he stopped saying things they didn't like in his personal blog. mnemex whispered to me, "I'm in UR blog, not reading UR books."
Teresa said that her mother taught her that if you get a threatening letter, you publish it at once.
And lots of other cool things I don't recall right now were said. Oh yes, Elise noted that blogging and the online culture in general was great for people who, like her, are hard of hearing, and therefore, at a disadvantage in conversations where the participants did not know how to communicate so as to be inclusive. (She said it more elegantly than that.)
Sometime after that, I discovered the Mike Ford Silent Auction, which had things like the Capture Coloring Book, which my roommate at UCLA had shown me once (I think that's where I encountered it), the Yellow Clearance Black Box Blues, and other Ford and non-Ford items.
At 5, mnemex and I and Lee and Barry tried to eat at the hotel restaurant. Alas, it was both not open yet and fully booked for the evening. Lee suggested a sign to that effect, and we ate at the hotel's Birch Bar, which had a design your own pasta dish -- good, but not 15 bucks worth of good -- and a design your own hamburger, as long as you wanted it cooked their way, and only wanted stuff like lettuce, tomato, cheese, or onions on it. The meat was quite decent, but again, 12 bucks was a bit steep.
Lee and Barry ran the themed filking circle for roleplaying game songs, which was fun. mnemex and I did our party crawling, which was easy as the parties were on the same floor as the room, and we wanted to pick up his harp anyway. At the Montreal party, we spoke with Nathan and Elizabeth, two people I'd gamed with earlier this month at Dreamation (the write up is on the labcats blog), and thought I'd spotted earlier in the con suite. Elizabeth, at least, had been to the 2005 WorldCon.
We made it to the Con Suite in time to eat cake in honor of Rusty's birthday. mnemex read the Ford story in a gaming magazine at the silent auction, then gave a backrub. We gradually drifted to the filk, which was good. I read the maze scene, now that I had a copy of Growing Up Weightless with me, though it's probably time to retire that for a while. Gary followed (for the definition of "follow" that means "after a couple of other people did a piece"), as he had at Darkover, with his song about a home on the moon. (I think the title is "Hail to the Builders", but I'm not sure and getting rather exhausted.) Ben sang a song he'd just written, which had to do with airplanes and rubber bands. He also sang "Uplift", which I think should probably be sung once a convention. It's one of sf fandom's religious songs, in a way, even if it really is a song about the computer game Civilization. mnemex sang "Frogs", from The Muppet Frog Prince, for Ben and Sarah, and this kicked off a short run of frog songs. I know we also all sang "The Bells of Norwich", which sounded great. I sang fairly low on that and wonder if I was in alto or tenor range, as I very much doubt I can hit bass range. Probably alto. It made my stomach buzz pleasantly.
We crashed about 3:30 am, as I was utterly exhausted.
We woke up at 8:30 am to do the breakfast buffet. The hotel restaurant was open. There was room for us. The food was good, and it included smoked salmon. Yummy.
Then, we went back to sleep until about 10:30. I got to the Dealers' Room, confirmed that yes, there was a second copy of Growing Up Weightless, bought it, and made the panel on Mike Ford and learned some stuff.
Elise said that questions about decoding Mike's works are best directed towards Pamela Dean and the Nielsen Haydens, and that well.com has an interview in the inkwell where Mike explains some of what's going on in The Last Hot Time. I'll check it out when my eyes focus better.
Elise also said that reading Christopher Fry, Auden, and Tom Stoppard are useful in understanding Mike's work.
The panelists were Teresa and Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Chip Hitchcock. Chip said that deciding the order of the pieces in the NESFA Ford book was tricky, and the editors wanted to make sure that there weren't too many "agony" pieces in succession.
Someone said that there was a lot of Mike in Steven Brust's Paarfi.
One of Mike's much used phrases was "You must understand". For example, when explaining the structure of How Much For Just the Planet?, he said, I gather, something like "You must understand that the essence of farce is people who must not meet." You need near misses, and then, when the two people meet, it is at the worst possible time. I gather that this also applies to Casting Fortune, which I've not yet read.
All the people mentioned in the acknowledgements of How Much For Just The Planet get musical numbers, and almost all of the people on the planet were Mike's friends, the exceptions being one or two characters who were more or less Mike.
Patrick borrowed my latest copy of Growing Up Weightless to look something up, though I now forget what. Folks talked about how the book is one long tracking shot, with, like Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Rope, just one cut. This cut is near the end, and makes good thematic sense, and one could argue that it's not really a cut, I think.
Except... Well, there's a cut in Rope that astonished me, one no one seems to remember, a cut to the housekeeper saying that dinner is served. And, I said, similarly, there's a sort of cut in Mike's novel. Usually, it changes point of view only when the character who has it and the character who's about to have it are in the same location. But, when one character is on a trip, and the other is in a city some distance away, and they are not in communication, the scene change comes when the character on the trip thinks about the character in the city.
Elise confirmed that I was correct and said that Mike had mentioned this and had not been comfortable with it. I felt absurdly elated that I had gotten it right, although I don't think that Mike should have felt bad about it. This was just about the only way he could have done that section.
The consensus seemed to be that the novel isn't YA, which I think misses the point about YA. The best of YA novels are so, so much better than a lot of supposedly Adult Books.
The novel Mike had been working on, Aspects is not at all finished and no information could be given about its status.
At some Minniecon, someone listening to Mike, Elise, Teresa, and a couple of other people wished she could pause the conversation and get footnotes, so folks were issued an 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheet of paper with an asterisk on it, to hold up to request a verbal footnote. Naturally, folks used these all convention. Elise said that this generated a sign, basically holding up one's hand with outstretched fingers.
She also said that she and a few other people had an idea for a panel that they decided was too heavy: I'm going to die. Tell me a story.
She said that she later used this as a closing question for an interview she did with Mike, adding that she thought that one of the reasons she and Mike were together was that he liked that she asked the hard questions. So, she explained the background, about the idea for a panel that was too heavy. She said to him, "I'm going to die. Tell me a story."
And Mike, who lived with death at his shoulder, if not closer, for so many years of his life, paused, and said in a shaky voice, "No. You tell me a story, and I'll repeat it after you're gone."
We are all missing Mike again. And, I hardly knew him. I met him just once, at the second Boskone I ever attended, and his presence was no small part of why I attended that convention.
After the panel, I met up with mnemex, who won a game of M. just in time to come up with me to the room and pack up. We checked our stuff, and I went to the 1 pm panel I wanted to make, about American Fantasy and what defined it. This was quite entertaining, if hardly the last word on the subject. The panelists were Brett Cox, Elizabeth Bear, Greer Gilman, and Michael Swanwick. The best one liner came from Alexander Jablokov: Others write comedies of manners; New Englanders write comedies of ethics.
As far as I can tell, what I said when I pushed my two cents in is true: There is a Something that exists and is peculiarly American, the Good Stuff is the Good Stuff regardless of where you find it and "American" is irrelevant for that context, and everyone's drinking from each other's wells anyway, what with the world getting smaller. I mean, trace the line from Robert Nathan to Peter Beagle to Neil Gaiman.
Apart from the panellists, American authors mentioned included Frank Baum, Ray Bradbury and R. A. Lafferty. I also think of Patricia McKillip, Peter Beagle, and Ursula K. LeGuin, who are certainly good, but I don't know that their work screams "American" in the same inescapable way as the other three. Horror got mentioned as well, and the idea that in British horror, the horrific element is outside, but in American, it's inside. I don't buy that, and I don't buy it even for the work mentioned, Frankenstein. The monster is not an outsider, but the scientist's double, doing what Frankenstein himself wants.
Elizabeth Bear wrote an Arthurian novel set in the modern day. I should check it out.
The Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God sermon is important, as is Cotton Mathers.
Indeed, Swanwick's closing statement, seconded by Cox, was that we should all buy more books and read more, that none of this mattered without readers, basically. And Cox repeated what Bill Senior, whom he correctly identified as the eminent gris of the IAFA, said: Read hard.
After this panel, I met mnemex at Lee and Barry's panel on filk and fan history, which was done with illustrative filks, including "Bouncing Potatoes", Mike Rubin's "Fire and Ice Con" about the Boskone XXIV, my first Boskone, which was quite good for me, despite the problems mentioned in the song, Dave Weingart's song about Disclave '97, and Gary's song for the Escher Hilton.
mnemex, Eyal, Lee, Barry, and I went to Legal Seafood for an early dinner, returing in time for Lee to read us a poem mnemex googled for, for us to say hello to Persis, and for us to visit the beginning Dead Dog filk very briefly. I gave Lee the words to the third installation of Harry of Five Points, and she read it with a French accent, as was appropriate.
Then, mnemex and I unchecked our stuff and cabbed to the bus station. We managed to get transferred to an earlier bus, and got home before midnight. It's now somewhat after midnight, and I need to crash.

Tennis star Andy Murray and his wife, Kim Sears, are expecting their second child.
The couple, who married in 2015, already have a one-year-old daughter, Sophia.
According to reports, they have already told friends and family the news.
It comes as the 30-year-old prepares for his first match at Wimbledon as defending champion. Murray will take to the SW19 court on Monday, where he will face Russia's Alexander Bublik.
Andy and Kim were married in Murray's home town of Dunblane in April 2015 and their daughter Sophia was born in February 2016.
The world number one has spoken about how his family is the most important thing in his life and he has said becoming a husband and father has helped his tennis.
Murray said he was feeling "good" after practising three times on Friday as he recovers from a hip injury which saw him pull out of his final warm-up match ahead of the tournament.
The two-time Wimbledon champion was said to have "grimaced" at times during the practice on Friday but looked "comfortable" in his final session.
He will face Kazakhstan's Bublik, who is world number 134, on centre court at 13:00 on Monday.

Christus Victor
The Christian faith is thoroughly miraculous. The Red Sea parted for Israel, Jesus was born of a virgin, healed diseases, and rose from the dead. Yet, some people get hung up on miracles. In 1804 Thomas Jefferson took a razor to his New Testament and cut out everything he found incompatible with his rationalism. Only about ten percent of the text survived the operation.
Yes, the Bible is filled with the miraculous; yet, people often miss the most outrageous miracle right at the center of the gospel. In Romans 4:5 Paul says that God 'justifies the ungodly.' That's a real problem. Heal diseases? Walk on water? No problem. But when God justifies the ungodly, that upsets the moral order of the universe. Right?
Everybody knows that God punishes bad people and rewards good people. It's his job. But the gospel disagrees. The gospel says that God justifies the ungodly. What does that mean? It means that God declares guilty people innocent. It means that God treats bad people as if they were good people. That goes beyond the power of miracle. It's a scandal. So, how can God justify the ungodly?
It's a good thing he does. Every one of us is ungodly, and we know it. We've failed to be the people we ought to be. A deep unease about ourselves is why we live in denial. When we discover self-excusing evasion in our politicians, for example, we demand an honest reckoning. But do we require the same unsparing honesty of ourselves? Isn't cover-up the self-righteous strategy of every guilty conscience? Isn't that why we blame others? Finger-pointing is one of our favorite devices for self-justification. And what lies behind that but our own troubled conscience?
There's a reason why we shift the blame. There's a reason why our problems are always someone else's fault. There's a reason why parents blame their children and husbands blame wives and so forth. The reason we continually pass the buck is that we know we can't bear our own guilt. We want so desperately for others to bear it for us. So we dump it on them, without even noticing what's happening in our thoughts.
After years of denial, baseball legend Pete Rose finally admitted to betting on baseball: 'People have to understand I wish this would have never happened. But I can't change it, it's happened. And sitting here in my position, you're just looking for a second chance.'
Every one of us understands that. We're all trapped in consequences we didn't intend but we did set in motion. Every one of us looks at something in the past and agonizes, 'If only I could relive that moment! If only I could trade in my record for a better one!' But how can we? It's too late.
The great miracle and scandal of the Bible is that God justifies ungodly people through the finished work of Christ on the cross. God accepts unacceptable people, God honors shameful people, God treats fools and harlots with royal dignity as Jesus steps into our place at the cross and bears our real moral guilt far away upon himself. That's how God our judge becomes God our justifier.
In Isaiah 53:3-12 we will learn how Jesus was satisfied, we are justified, and God is glorified. What did Isaiah see 700 years before it happened? What Isaiah saw in the future was not a Messiah who escapes death, but a Messiah who dies – and dies plainly in the place of sinners – and then rises again to make intercession for his redeemed and forgiven and justified people forever.
It is with great anticipation that I look forward to worshiping with you this Lord's Day. Pray yourself ready, bring a friend, or two, and let's worship the true and living God. Are you praying for and working for reformation? I am. Will you join me? May the Lord grant another reformation to us and our communities.
In Christ's Love,

The headline read, "The Outside of This Old Florida House Looks Like a Run-Down Shack — but Hidden Inside the Walls Was a Secret Treasure". It caught my attention and immediately took my thoughts down a surprising path.
The article was about a run-down shack in Florida where they found old silver coins in the walls. Apparently the previous owner had been hiding them since The Great Depression. An amazing story in itself, but it really got me thinking about why God had led me to that story.
I am blessed to still have 3 grandparents living and they are all in their 80s. I also know many elders in my church that I see on a regular basis. In some ways they are like the little shack in this story, they may not have their once youthful outward beauty, but there is a wealth of "treasure" to be found if you are willing to take the time and find it.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days.
Proverbs 19:20
If you are so blessed to have a member of The Greatest Generation in your life, I encourage you to take the time to sit down and just listen. Many of them have seen and experienced things we can't even imagine; the Great Depression, multiple wars, the Holocaust, the Civil Rights Movement, and so much more! One day they will not be around to share their experiences and wisdom with the world, so take the time now.

Message from the Director
From the director
2014 was a devastating year with record numbers of people living in internal displacement induced by conflict, violence, disasters and natural hazards. Meeting the immense needs generated by these calamities remains one of the most challenging humanitarian tasks faced by the international community in modern times. To address these serious situations, IDMC in 2014 published 20 country overviews, 2 global reports, 8 thematic/technical reports, 32 blogs, 8 briefing/discussion papers, 22 submissions to human rights bodies.
From the director
I had the pleasure of joining the IDMC team in 2013, taking the helm from Kate Halff, who after four years of the excellent work and dedicated service, left the organisation in May.
2013 was another year of turmoil for many. Conflicts and disasters worldwide forced millions of people to flee their homes, leaving many stuck in limbo within the borders of their own country.
Joint IDMC-UNHCR press release - A record 33.3 million now displaced by war worldwide, as one family flees inside Syria every 60 seconds - Report
33.3 million people were internally displaced at the end of 2013 due to conflict and violence says a new report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). This equates to a staggering increase of 4.5 million from 2012, signalling a record high for the second year running.
28.8 million internally displaced people worldwide in 2012, record high includes five-fold increase in Syria
GENEVA, 29 APRIL 2013: The number of people internally displaced by armed conflict, violence and human rights violations at the end of 2012 was 28.8 million, an increase of 2.4 million people on the previous year and the highest global figure ever reported by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).

Future Bioenergy and Sustainable Land Use: Summary for policy-makers
WBGU aims to show that the sustainable use of bioenergy is possible and to outline how to exploit opportunities while at the same time minimizing risks. To that end, WBGU presents an integrated vision that will provide policy-makers clear guidance for the deployment of bioenergy. The principle behind the change of direction that is required must in WBGUs view be the strategic role of bioenergy as a component of the global transformation of energy systems towards sustainability. The guiding vision is inspired by two objectives: Firstly the use of bioenergy should contribute to mitigating climate change by replacing fossil fuels and thus helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the world energy system. Secondly the use of bioenergy can help to overcome energy poverty. Some 2.5 billion people currently have no access to affordable and safe forms of energy (such as electricity and gas) to meet their basic needs. Modern yet simple and cost-effective forms of bioenergy can play an important part in significantly reducing energy poverty in developing and newly industrializing countries. WBGUs central message is that use should be made of the global sustainable potential of bioenergy, provided that risks to sustainability can be excluded. In particular, the use of bioenergy must not endanger food security or the goals of nature conservation and climate protection. [Extracto: p. 1]

Things Happening to Other People
Tim Russert died unexpectedly at the age of 58 after a sudden collapse at the NBC studios on Friday. For more info check out this article at CNN. My heart goes out to his family, friends & colleagues.
The Bravo A-List awards were on last week & Lauren Hutton was given an award & gave the most bizarre acceptance speech I've heard in a while.
Fergie's daughter Eugenie (not Fergie the singer, the original Fergie, the actual Duchess, of York that is) was busted frolicking around with some friends at her boarding school with no clothes on, so what...let the kids frolick!
Spencer & Heidi are buying guns apparently, not sure if Heidi is getting one to try to take him out or what but I'm guessing that Lauren might want to watch her back!
Jessica Simpson is putting out a country album, probably not wise…I don't think it will sell. Her last pop album didn't sell for crap so why would this one? I think she should just stick to being hot, her music career isn't all that & neither is her acting career…actually, she should probably go back to singing religious music to be perfectly honest.
R. Kelly isn't guilty (yeah right) and Linda Hogan is a cougar? I'll disagree with that one, just because you have a young boyfriend doesn't make you a cougar, he has to be hot not a clone of your ex husband. I don't understand why those 2 split…she's dating a younger version of him & he's dating a younger version of her…his daughter, oh no wait that wasn't her it just looks like her (gross).
Katie Holmes is gonna be on Broadway, I have no feelings about this either way. I was a huge fan of hers until she married goofball & now I do not like or dislike her, but I do dislike her husband & I'm not gonna deny that, I always have!
Trent unveiled the new Pink is the New Blog site & had a kick ass party too. Check out his site to see more!!

Puff Puff Pass?

Religion in the Workplace
Here's my complaint about religion in the work place. So, we had some team building in the office & a guest speaker came in, a very knowledgeable man we'll call Bob, excellent speaker with great points. I learned a fair amount from him being in my office, got some enlightenment into the minds of my coworkers, and got free lunch so all around good times. Obviously when people give presentations they give examples & quite often his examples referred to God, or church, or religion as a whole and I couldn't believe it. I don't work for a religion-based company; I work for a very large global corporation so things really need to be kept generic & basic. There were other examples he could have been using for the items he was using God as an example for, no problem but he chose to use God. He would say things like "what if God….blah blah blah" or "if you were in church…blah blah blah" and it really got on my last nerve. I'm not religious, I believe what I believe & that is that & I really don't appreciate people making reference to God & religion as if everyone participates in a religion or church like they do. Near the end it was getting to the point that I really wanted to say something like "if I wanted to hear about God I'd go to church, and I don't go to church…comprende?" I also had one other complaint about Bob, which I guess goes hand in hand here in a way. He asks a question "who here is married" and then another "who has a boyfriend" and that was it…no "who has a girlfriend", just because it was all women in there he assumed that everyone was straight. I'm not outing anyone here, for all I know everyone was straight but by asking that question in that way he was excluding an entire culture of people. Why not just ask "who has a significant other" because that includes everyone. Now that I think of it, there was one guy present, so does that mean that Bob assumed that one guy was gay?
In conclusion I have to say that I used to work for a Jewish company (Jewish was even part of the company name) and even though I was prepared for it never in any of our meetings or anything else was religion ever mentioned other than the discussion of Holidays off. It's all just inappropriate & inconsiderate, period!

Baby Mania
Speaking of children can we please discuss this Gaiken child? None of this situation makes any sense & all of the situation points directly to the fact that Clay is gay! So just over a year ago Clay told People that he wanted to be a dad really bad & now he is going to be one, but not the way you think…he didn't have sex with the 50 year old woman who will be the mother of his child. He donated his goods & she was inseminated. I have about a million problems with this whole thing. First of all, she is almost twice his age & while age isn't important I think it will be when mom is trying to raise a newborn & cope with menopause all at the same time. I understand that she has never had kids, but why not have them with a man your own age, or with nobody at all? The whole thing sounds like some random drunken night…for some reason these 2 people are hanging out (probably at a Broadway play) and they have 1 too many & she says "I always wanted to be a mom" & he says "me too" so they just decide right there to have a baby. Apparently she announced it to all of her friends at her 50th birthday party, I'm guessing there was some shock & then when she said who the dad was a major burst of laughter until they realized she wasn't joking. Now I'm not saying that they will be bad parents, I'm just saying…"come out already"!!!!

Coupons, coupons, coupons!
OK now to the saving on food (it's a long story, I apologize). Obviously there are certain tips that are common sense but I'm gonna list some of them for you anyway:
- Don't eat out so much, cooking at home is usually cheaper
- Shop at stores like Save A Lot or Aldi
- Buy generic
- Grow your own food, granted it might be tough raising a cow in an apartment but it will save you bundles!
- Eat your leftovers
- Buy from bulk stores like Costco or Sam's Club
- Don't shop while you are hungry
I buy some things generic, I buy some things from stores like Aldi, I grow my own herbs but don't have anywhere to grow veggies, I eat my leftovers, and I do shop at Costco but those are just a few ways that I save money and honestly those aren't the tactics I use to save cash most of the time. I am finding the best way to save the money is a bit time consuming but once you get it down to a science you can really clip along. The first thing I do is grab a Sunday paper & grab the coupon section out of the paper and start going through all of the coupons in it & clipping anything of interest. We also have a coupon club at work & the bag of coupons gets passed around once a month for everyone to go through so I add those to my stack of coupons I clipped myself. I am going to purchase a coupon organizer book that will make it much easier to keep track of what I have which will in the end also save me time & money because I can just take it with me to the store, but I digress. Once all the coupons have been clipped & put in order (I do by exp date) it is now time to check out the store papers which I get delivered to my apartment building on Mondays.
I then sit down with my grocery list which is always hanging on my fridge so I can add needed items to it as the weeks go on and I obviously do a once over to make sure I didn't miss anything before I finalize the list. Having a list when you go shopping is a must, not only so you don't forget stuff but so you don't buy crap that you don't need, stick to your list. So like I said I sit down with my list, and my grocery store papers, and my coupons & I begin combing the papers (this can also be done online but I prefer the papers) and seeing which stores have what on sale & I then see if they are on the list & I circle stuff in the papers that match up. At this point I start dividing my list into usually 3 lists Kroger, Meijer, CVS (for the assorted toiletries & what nots) so once I've got my lists separated I then start going through my coupons & if there is something I want & I see that a coupon is about to expire I take the coupon with me to all the stores so it gets its own pile. I then start setting aside the other coupons for the individual stores, like if I see that Kroger has cheese 3 for $5 and I happen to have a dollar off coupon for that cheese then of course I'm gonna put that coupon in the Kroger pile & put the cheese on the list if it isn't already & I just got my cheese 3 for $4 & if I'm lucky it's double coupon day!! Regardless I probably technically saved about 4 bucks on that cheese from its original shelf price.
A side note, I never know when it is double coupon day, Farmer Jack always did it the same day of the week every week & some places do it like a happy hour but there is one tiny old school grocery store by me that always does double coupons so I do occasionally go there but their selection is limited, I assume it would be the same in your area as well but I'm going to look into double coupon days to save even more.
Now I have my 3 piles, 3 lists & I'm going to 3 stores & for me it's totally feasible, the Meijer is 4 miles away (next to Costco should I need a stop there) and I pass the Kroger on my way back home from Meijer so I just hit them up at once. As far as CVS goes I pass one on my way home from work & usually stop there then so I'm not wasting any extra gas. I generally go shopping on a weekend night because the stores are empty & when the stores are busy you get stopped in front of things that you wouldn't normally look at & then you buy crap you don't need. At night you get in, you hit all the aisles & you are out the door in no time.
Once I arrive at the store I get out my list & my coupons for the list as well as my other pile of coupons; stuff that I might want to get if it's on sale because my coupon is about to expire but I don't really NEED it. I hit up all the aisles & when I'm making my lists I will put a little c next to the items I have coupons for so I can make sure I buy the right size or modification of the product. At times I find that even with my coupon the Kroger/Meijer brand of some stuff is still cheaper, like my disinfectant spray or freezer bags. There are a lot of things however that I won't buy generic like ketchup or pancake syrup. Every time I go grocery shopping I take any cans/bottles I have back & I usually take them to Kroger because I buy their Big K pops which are actually really good & way cheaper than name brand. This usually gets me at least 2 bucks off my groceries & every penny counts but then I scan my Kroger card & poof, I saved another $4, and then I hand over my coupons & the next thing you know, my bill just went from $39.33 to $27.11. At Meijer I generally find that their prices on most stuff is lower than other stores anyway which is why I usually start there & the last time I was in my bill was $101.12 but after my coupons it was $74.27 & then I made my stop at CVS & saved $30.24 (the cashier actually said "dang girl, I aint never seen savings like that") for a grand total savings of $71.31 & I got groceries for 2 weeks, a new electric toothbrush, a celeb rag mag, and even a couple things I really didn't need. So as you can see, it can be time consuming & obviously if you live in a big city doing this would probably be a huge hassle & not worth it but living in your basic city in America there is a grocery store & a drug store on every corner & if you have the time you might as well save some money with it. I also suggest taking most anyone up on a dinner offer, a free meal is a free meal!
*With it being fruit & veggie month in the U.S. I recommend keeping your eyes open for roadside stands or other local growers and farmers markets because you can save a ton there as well & make a lot of delicious foods from the fresh produce.

Save on Gas!!
I say the first trick is filling up your tank rather than just chucking some gas in there every few days (why I'm not sure but trust me), now I filled up my tank the other day & it cost me like 40 bucks which is insane (I drive a Focus by the way) but if I can make that 40 bucks last 2 weeks then it is no different than me throwing in a 20 every week other than the fact that my gas is costing me a dollar more per gallon. Ok, enough about my mileage, here is how I make my gas stretch.
Constantly slamming on the gas & the brakes eats up a ton of gas & you probably don't even realize it. I now accelerate slowly, there is no reason to slam on the gas at every green light nor is there any reason to slam on your brakes at every red light, pay attention & just take your foot off of the gas to slow down & then brake once you get closer to the light. We all have been stuck behind the ass rider who is constantly braking because they don't want to hit the person in front of them, keep a slight distance behind them just in case & pay more attention to the car in front of them & if you see them brake then you might want to, otherwise just ignore the constant braking because that fool is wasting tons of gas, oh, don't tail people either or you will be that ass rider wasting gas.
Go the speed limit instead of 10 over on the freeway especially if it's a longer trip, this could save you gallons because obviously the faster you go the more gas you are using so why speed & get a ticket on top of all of that gas you are wasting?
Remove any items from your car that you don't really need especially if they are heavy because it really does make a difference especially if your car is used to just toting you around.
Keep your tires filled as much as they are supposed to be filled (this info can be found in your owner's manual or often behind your fuel door) and I would suggest checking them every few weeks & keeping up on it.
Change your air filter if it needs it (every 6 mos to a year), if you aren't sure if it needs a new one just pull out the old one & if it looks all dirty then replace it, they are cheap & very easy to replace, again, see your owner's manual or ask someone who can show you how to change it out. Keep up on scheduled maintenances, get your oil changed & your oil place should be able to tell you what other services you should get done & how often. I know some of these places will try to cram services down your throat but I find that Valvoline Instant Oil Change will make suggestions but they have never asked if I wanted additional services other that what I requested when pulling in.
If you are picking someone up or just have to wait for some other reason, turn your car off, why waste the gas just sitting there. Do your best to try less congested routes to work; this avoids all the stop & go of a clustered freeway. Keeping your windows closed can help cut down on gas usage but when it is super hot I think having the window open is cheaper than running the A/C.
That's about all of the gas saving techniques I have put into play as of late so go ahead & try some of them out for yourself & see how much gas you save!! Stick around; tomorrow I'll be posting tips on saving money on food.

Med: Class Attendance Revisited
March 16, 2008
I did something this past week that I haven't done since probably September–made it to every hour of scheduled class. While there weren't any labs, we did still have afternoon lectures and/or working-group seminars, and the days started at 8:30am.
I know, I know–for most of you, this probably isn't a big deal. Plenty of medical students have been MUCH better than me at class attendance. But in all honesty, I think I've turned a corner and will be in-class as often as possible–saving an "out" for clinical activities, etc. I've had this sentiment before–and it generally tends to follow exam weeks–but this is different (i.e., it didn't fade by the end of the first week).
My friends are still understandably skeptical, but I really think it's something that I'm going to keep up. In the past I've rationalized my class attendance by saying that "I'm not an oral learner," but each time hearing and/or reading a lecture benefits the learning process more-and-more, and I need to stop making excuses for not waking up in the morning. This is PROFESSIONAL school, and at times I treat it like second-semester of senior year. This needs to stop.
Already after this week, I feel MUCH more comfortable with the material–mainly because I'm now learning the right way: Going to class, and also REVIEWING the material sometime shortly thereafter. Hopefully by doing a little bit along the way, I prevent massive streesful pre-exam cram sessions. Or, if I do have those, I'll just be that much better off for the test.
The true test of my newfound class attendance will be over the next few weeks, with both histology and anatomy starting back up. But given that I NEVER went to histology AND that histology was by far my worst class, I need to make more of an effort. I just better have a lot of caffeine.
I really think I'm going to be able to do it now…so I really hope I don't let myself down.

William Hodge Mill
William Hodge Mill (1792–1853) was an English churchman and orientalist, the first principal of Bishop's College, Calcutta and later Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge.
He was son of John Mill, a native of Dundee, by his wife Martha née Hodge, and was born 18 July 1792 at Hackney, Middlesex. He was educated chiefly in private under Thomas Belsham. In 1809 he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. as sixth wrangler in 1813, was elected Fellow in 1814, and proceeded M.A. in 1816.[1] He took deacon's orders in 1817, and priest's in the following year, and continuing in residence at Cambridge.[2]
In 1820 he was appointed the first principal of Bishop's College, Calcutta, then just founded, under the superintendence of Bishop Thomas Fanshawe Middleton. There he assisted in the publication of works in Arabic, of which he had already gained some knowledge, and addressed himself to the study of the Indian vernaculars and Sanskrit, and he co-operated in the work of the Sanskrit and other native colleges. He was also a leading member of the Bengal Asiatic Society (vice-president 1833–7), and supported the society's Journal, then just founded, his contributions extending from vol. ii. to vol. vi. He also deciphered of several inscriptions, then little understood, especially those on the pillars at Allahabad and Bhitari.[2]
Mill's health obliged him to return to Europe in 1838. He was appointed in 1839 chaplain to William Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury, and in the same year Christian Advocate on the Hulse foundation at Cambridge. In 1848 he became Regius Professor of Hebrew in the same university, with a canonry at Ely Cathedral. His lectures were chiefly on the text of the Psalms. He died 25 December 1853, at Brasted, Kent, a living to which he had been presented by the archbishop in 1843. He was buried in Ely Cathedral on New Year's Eve. A portion of a window in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, was subsequently (1862) filled with stained glass to his memory.[2]
His major work is 'Christa-saṅgītā' (Calcutta, 1831, 8vo; 2nd edition, 1837), a translation of the Gospel-story into the metre and style of the Sanskrit purānas; it was originally suggested to Mill by a Hindu pundit, who was the main author of the first canto.[2]
Other works of the same period are a Sanskrit translation of the Sermon on the Mount, and contributions to the Arabic translation of the Anglican prayer-book. His Christian Advocate's publication for 1840–4, 'On the attempted Application of Pantheistic Principles to the Criticism of the Gospel,' appeared in two editions, and is mainly directed against David Strauss. Mill also published theological lectures and sermons.[2]
Mill married Maria, daughter of James Ruthven Elphinstone.[3] Their daughter Maria Elphinstone Mill married Benjamin Webb.[4]

This volume contains a selection of papers that were presented as part of the Sixth International Symposium on Natural and Man-Made Hazards (HAZARDS-96) held in Toronto, Canada during July, 1996. The Symposium was very timely, given the large number of natural disasters that have occurred in various parts of the world during the 1990s, the United Nations' International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). The human reaction to these disasters has varied widely from one event to the next and the economic and social costs have been immense with damage running into billions of dollars. Having in everyone's mind the Northridge, California (1994) and the Kobe, Japan (1995) earthquakes, the volcanoes in the Philippines, the cyclones and related storm surges in Bangladesh, and the floods in North America and Europe caused by heavy rains, the Symposium attracted more than 100 papers covering various aspects of these events. The 11 papers included in this volume deal with the scientific and management issues of those earthquakes and atmospheric hazards that occurred during the late 1990s, with emphasis on the preparedness aspects.The text should form a valuable reference for scientists, students, engineers, the insurance industry, authorities specializing in public safety and natural hazards preparedness and mitigation plans.
