Faith-based spirituality is the policy and thinks that objects shall be as they shall be within the future. It is the receipt of the great secrets of life and mortality for which religion and customs lectures that there are zero definitive answers. Such a strategy towards spirituality devises a fear-based habitat founded onto goods whom are vindictive and uncaring. Believers site their stays into the hands of an invisible being within the trust that everybody shall profession out for the best.
Knowledge-based spirituality is the experience and kinship of everybody and the desire towards achieve and shift across life towards one's possess Vision and goals which Bishop Bernard Jordan agrees. The great secrets become subjects of physical breakthrough and, with a frank brain; reactions can be bought from the habitat and the Universe. This model of spirituality invites one towards predetermined aside corners and analyze the knowledge and cells of the containing environment. One has the possibility towards steal life into one's possess hands and maneuver it along a lane towards one's possess desires.
Bishop Bernard Jordan examines hatred and faith. One of the complications of todays is that, within our earth, wars, hatred, and bias take action within the moral grounds deployed by mechanism of religion and society. Religion devises a concrete division between unlike factions of humanity. These factions steal the core principles of customs and mutate them towards suit the lacks of their specified beliefs. In the end, as shortly as societal corners are breached, and dominate languishes again the ranks, uprisings and sour brawls take action towards reestablish order.
In faith-based factions, Bishop Bernard Jordan explains that panic is impressed and religion that a great hereafter exists. People brawl towards perpetuate their opinions because they've eventually curbed their conscious brains towards match the unresolved questions founded onto invisible and unfounded predictions by mechanism of their noblemen.
However, with knowledge-based factions, panic is minimized and the great hereafter is right here and already and persists onto forever. Knowledge lets us towards glance beyond the basics and outdoors of the matched reassure zone towards comprehend the indicators and principles of otherwise cells, both physicals and spiritual.

That is estimated to give Labour 317 seats to the Tories' 263, nine short of an overall majority that would mean Brown could be prime minister in June.
The poll comes as a hammer blow to Cameron he prepares for a keynote speech to his party's spring conference.
In an interview to the Sunday Times he defends himself against right-wing criticism that he has modernized too much, moved too far into the centre. He says: "Some people say to me, 'Play things safe; try to win by default. The government is in a mess.' I say, 'No. This is the Conservative party that is offering radical change. I'm doubling up on change'."
Although Cameron says he is unconcerned about the collapse in Tory support, the narrowing of the lead has been dramatic. Until recently the Tories were solidly 10-points ahead, but last Sunday's YouGov poll had the gap at 6 points, suggesting a hung parliament with the Tories the largest party.
Frighteningly, today's poll may suggest that claims about Brown's tantrums and bullying may have helped him. Just 28% of people believe the prime minister is a bully and 50% agree he has a strong sense of right and wrong. (Scary. How clever is Mr Mandleson?) It also show concerns about Cameron's Eton and Oxford background and lack of empathy with 'ordinary' people. Only 25% think that Cameron understands problems faced by "people like me", compared with 35% for Brown. This may suggest that the right wingers, trying to push Cameron away from reforms, are wrong. He may need to push the Tories nearer to the 'ordinary' man. It also suggests that team Labour's charm offensive on the prime minister's being an 'ordinary Joe' may be working.
If the election result leaves Labour just short of an overall majority, Brown could battle on, with Labour as a minority government doing deals with smaller parties to get its legislation through parliament. That, however, is unlikely to last for long because it takes real political skill and incredible patience, and compromise to cope with a hung parliament and a minority government.
As has been shown with our own government much of the government's legislation is lost or watered down because the opposition parties gang up to defeat you, regardless of their own views or the good of the country. The object becomes defeating the government, embarrassing the government, not running the country. It takes very mature opposition and a sense of duty to the country rather than party to make it work.
I seriously doubt if that exists at the Westminster assembly where self comes first, party second and somewhere way down the list, the voter. I favour a hung parliament because I can't bear the thought of Labour in government; I find the thought sickening...... and the Tories scare me. But Brown must not be their first minister. He's far too mad to be in charge for another 5 years.

|Another excellent wordless book.
In my previous post on Sympathy, I sought to make two vital truths clear.
First, that the only alternative to sympathy is to actively establish and reinforce our antipathy toward those we choose to exclude from consideration as our fellow human beings. Otherwise, we would be forced to acknowledge even a minimal identification with their experience, and "feel for them," perhaps even expressing that sentiment before returning to our own personal concerns.
Second, that allowing ourselves to experience sympathy for any other person almost invariably leads us to do more than merely express our acknowledgement of another's circumstance and its consequences. When we truly recognize the realities of another's experience, it becomes difficult to ignore the correlation between their needs and "our" resources. For all our more exacting definitions of "ministry," the simple fulfillment of loving our neighbors as ourselves is this: Applying the resources God provides to the needs He shows us.
The Foundations of Compassion
What is that causes us not only to recognize, but to feel compelled to do something about another's condition? We may not be able to entirely ameliorate their circumstances (as I noted in the "sympathy" post—ameliorate = to improve or restore another from having incurred damage). Perhaps we may merely mitigate the consequences (i.e., lessen the severity of damage to another from their condition). And sometimes, we will find that we can only imperfectly palliate what they are experiencing (i.e., diminish the pain they feel amidst the damage being done). The frustrations are very real. There is often less we can do than we would like to do. But the need to step forward in compassion is a very real motivator resulting from a foundational impulse built into us as human beings.
|Do you hear it? Something's out there.
The reality of our interdependence upon other human beings is undeniable. But rather than begrudging the necessity of interpersonal interaction, most of us choose to form relationships with others. In fact, we often choose to live with at least a few others in authentic, transparent, and vulnerable intimacy. Even if we were guaranteed protection from others' damaged condition resulting in damage to us (As one has phrased it, "Hurt people hurt people."), the simple fact of recognizing others' needs and meeting them from with "our" resources recommends against such actions. So why do we engage others at all? Much less in even casual relationships? Not to mention the handful of close, personal bonds that sometimes magnify the pain of unmet expectations, coupled with the inevitable loss that will eventually occur?
Why do we do it?!
Because that's the way we are built. For all the other imaginations of what it means to be "created to bear the image and likeness of God," it is clearest to me when I remember that I am called to serve "one God, eternally existing in three persons." The interrelatedness of human beings is merely a reflection of the interrelatedness of the Creator who formed each of us, and built into us the same impulse to vital connection that exists among the persons of that one God. There's much more to say about the Trinity, of course. But I don't want to leave our discussion of unity in and among diversity, and especially the requirements that must be met for compassion to be fulfilled, not frustrated.
The Essential Condition of Compassion
There are alternatives, of course. Paul Louis Metzger recently wrote regarding the perception of some Amida Buddhist friends that our goal should be emancipation from anything external to ourselves. Quoting Buddhism's "Heart Sutra," Dr. Metzger points out that some Buddhists see John Lennon's "Imagine" as synopsizing their ultimate goal of withdrawal from anything of meaning, anything that would cause passion, or even a response to the physical world in which we live. Success in eliminating one's own personhood would seem to overcome any interpersonal conflicts. But in a world where our minds and hearts are inexorably intertwined with a body that cannot help but interact with the surrounding world, the necessity of interpersonal relationships is indisputable. The inherently impersonal eradication of self is an impossibility, since it would be the self that must will and act to eradicate its self.
|It's not difficult to enforce solitude...temporarily.
Our interpersonal interactions will necessarily entail the recognition of one another's needs. We are designed to respond in sympathy to one another, and to act on that sympathy in compassion. As Buddhists rightly observe, this leads to conflict. Even when I choose to share "my" resources with another, there is the potential for them to see my actions as patronizing, or even demeaning toward them. And, whether gratitude is shown or not, I may imagine that my role is more essential to them than theirs is to me. I may proudly take on the role of benefactor, forgetting that they possess important resources for my needs, even as I deliver assistance to them.
Is the solution, then, to these inevitable interpersonal conflicts the Buddhist's eradication of self? If that were possible, if withdrawal into impersonal isolation comes within reach, from where comes this continued longing for "emancipation" that Dr. Metzger's sources describe? In that context, it would seem that our greatest emancipation must surely be a secure asylum from the "hell" that is "other people?" (That's existentialist Jean Paul Sartre's estimation, by the way, not mine.)
|But it might be good to hear others' opinions, too.
So, what alternative remains? Our interpersonal impulses are undeniable, and conflict, therefore, is inevitable. On what basis, then, can we fulfill our desires to engage one another in compassion? Rather than withdrawing into isolation, how do we still avoid escalating the conflict until it is the other's person we eradicate?
Compassion can continue, despite the conflicts our interpersonal relationship create between those in need and those with resources (even when we recognize that those in need have resources that are needed by those with certain resources for the other's need). Because, in addition to being built with an impulse to interpersonal relationships, we are also built with an innate recognition of our own contributions to interpersonal conflicts. As much, and often more, than I need to forgive others for their roles in conflict, I need the forgiveness of others for my own roles in creating, ignoring, patronizing, or simply failing to ameliorate, mitigate, or palliate wherever I have opportunity.
Dr. Metzger's conclusion, that "we can break out of the perpetual cycle of hostility and extend forgiveness to others" by pursuing "a way that produces actions of love rather than those of indifference and hate." That way leads to, into, and through a relationship with the One who has sought to establish the foundations of our compassion by showing, in the most extraordinary terms, His compassion in providing for our forgiveness.
On a practical note: What if there's nothing I can do?
Compassion's calling on our lives can be all too clear when another needs financial support, an extra hand for an occasional project, a ride to the doctor's office, or even a shoulder to cry on…temporarily. But there if often a nagging sense that we should do something about needs that are not so clear, and especially about needs that are clearly beyond our ability to ameliorate, mitigate, or even palliate. (I hope it's clear that I think you should learn these vocabulary words.)
|You never know when you'll need someone to reciprocate.
In the most extreme circumstances, it may seem like we have nothing whatsoever to share, simply because we cannot imagine that anyone has anything to share that could help in any way. For example, regarding the frustrations of those who desperately wish to make a more tangible difference in the brief remaining lives of the imminently dying, a couple of quotes frequently come to mind.
I remember it being Jackson Rainer who said, at an American Academy of Bereavement training, "To exist with them at the moment of their crisis is to be significant in the life of another." Dr. Chris Camarata, former medical director for Mayers Memorial Hopsital/Intermountain Hospice, frequently commented, "Don't underestimate the impact of being willing to sit with them, even if all we can do is to bear silent witness to their pain." I have been in many situation as a chaplain, pastor, friend, and/or family member where there was nothing I could change about the circumstances others were facing. But that doesn't mean I had nothing to do. It took great effort, in fact. But in those times and places, I stayed.
Sometimes, our greatest compassion is shown by fighting the urge to flee from what we cannot fix.
Even if what needs fixed is my self.

Me: I didn't sleep much last night again so it was taking me forever to get around this morning. Sean went back to work today although from what I hear hasn't been able to ceoncentrate real well. I don't blame him. I think we're both just physically and emotionally worn down right now. I started developing a weird rash on my abdomen last night which has spread upwards over my belly and formed little bumps and turning dark, bright red. It looks like a topical allergic reaction and is itching and burning like crazy but I can't think of anything which has changed. It is really strange. So I am going to after hours care at 5:45 p.m. to be seen for it. Other than that I am doing well. Trying to stay on my schedule as far as taking my meds and pumping goes. Pumping is going great and I think I can officially say my milk is in and the NICU freezer is full, our in house freezer is full, and now we're beginning to work on our freezers in the garage. I'm thinking it might be just about time to invest in a deep freezer or think about donating some to someone.
I stopped in very briefly before shift change to check in on Emma. she is doing well today. Unfortunately, she is down to 1 pound 12 ounces, So very tiny. But apparently around this time it's very typical and "normal" for her to be olsing weight. she has to play the lose,g ain, lose game for a bit before she will continually gain weight. Hopefully she'll start gaining once she is no longer jaundiced and her breathing issues are resolved.
Her blood gas came back good so her o2 was turned down to just 25%. She has handled the change well and has not had any substantial or non- nurse induced desats or apneac episodes. YAY! 21% is considered room air. Hopefully this is a sign that they'll be able to take her off the ventilator and put her on the nasal CPAP, or maybe even just a nasal oxygen canula soon. When one of those happens we will be able to begin holding her. We can not wait to hold our angel.
Her bilirubin level was down to 4.2 which is good news. Once it is at 4 or below they can remove the lights. So they will do another check tomorrow and if it is under 4 then they'll take them off of her and she won't have to wear her "sunglasses" and we won't be taking "blue baby" pictgures again. There is a chance she might have to go back under them even after she has had them removed but we will cross that bridge when it comes and hopefully not have to cross it at all.
Her PPIC line was inserted through her leg and weaved up near her heart. The procedure went well and now she won't have to keep getting new I.V's and being poked constantly. So more good news.
Sean and I plan heading back over to see her again for am longer visit after my after hours visit. I should be getting some more pictures as well.

Families arranging online benefit from 'Real Time Chat' feature
TORONTO, Jan. 12 /CNW/ - Canada's first Internet funeral service company, Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices, www.basicfunerals.ca is making it easier for families to arrange funerals from the comfort of their homes thanks to the launch of its company.
Licensed in May, 2009, Basic Funerals, www.basicfunerals.ca, charges fees that are roughly half of those charged by conventional funeral homes. That's because the company is based on an entirely different and unique business model, having omitted infrastructure costs and utilizing economies of scale.
"The funeral industry operates in the 21st century with a 17th century model," explained Dominic Mazzone, Chairman, Basic Funerals, www.basicfunerals.ca. "For hundreds of years, the funeral industry in Canada hasn't changed. We've arrived to revolutionize it on behalf of the customer."
According to Mr. Mazzone, "95% of our families arrange services with our company online and over the phone." In fact, www.basicfunerals.ca features a 'Real Time Chat' option, providing instant access to a conversation with a funeral director.
|"Fast, quick and easy. The fact that I could do everything over the phone and net made it comfortable. I really didn't want to have to go down to a funeral home when my family needed me at home following the death of my mother-in-law." Apryl Triantasillou, customer, www.basicfunerals.ca
Basic Funeral's site, www.basicfunerals.ca, offers convenience, providing online, over the phone and in-person arrangements. The company offers affordability, having created a model that provides first-class service at often half the cost of conventional funeral homes. And, it provides choice by offering options that include only the services that families need. Families select what they want, avoiding expensive, set packages.
"I worked for 10 years as a director in a conventional funeral home. During that time, I paid close attention to the families. I saw a large gap that was not being filled. People were not given what they wanted," noted Eric Vandermeersch, CEO, Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices. Thanks to affordable pricing through less overhead, we have received an overwhelming response proving to us that this model works because it helps families." Most families contacting Basic Funerals, www.basicfunerals.ca, do so after being "shocked" at prices presented by conventional funeral homes, added Mr. Vandermeersch.
According to Statistics Canada the funeral service industry, including casket sales and other services, reached approximately $1.3 billion in 2002.
"The Internet is the great equalizer and to truly embrace its capabilities, one needs to disclose prices and services. The funeral industry is not willing to expose the huge mark ups that are so inherent to its business model," stated Mr. Mazzone.
The average cost of a funeral in Ontario is $10,000, while at www.basicfunerals.ca, the cost of a complete, basic cremation is $1,695 while burial and graveside service is $1,800. A basic funeral with casket is $3,200. HST, fees and disbursements are included in prices.
How it works:
1 - First Contact
Inform Basic Funerals that someone has passed away. This can be done on the website with easy-to-use contact forms, the real-time chat option or simply by calling at any time, 24 hours per day, and 7 days per week.
2 - The Arrangement Process
No matter the choices, the arrangement process is simple and easy. Basic Funerals offers online and over the phone arrangements as well as in person (either in-home or at an arrangement location).
3 - Serving All Needs
Depending on the choice of services, Basic Funerals will follow through with everything necessary, including the transfer from the place of death, required documentation including CPP forms and proof of death certificates.
Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices, www.basicfunerals.ca, is the first funeral establishment to provide the complete convenience of making funeral arrangements online, over the phone or in person. Licensed funeral directors are available anytime to guide people through the entire arrangement process.

T had her lax end of year party Wednesday night. It was a little tough on her. She really likes all of the girls she played with and particularly had a lot of fun w/ several seniors. She's been playing fall ball w/ some of these girls for 2-3 years and played varsity w/ them for 2.
Thursday T performed in the Dance Showcase at the high school put on by the dance department. She and a couple of the other freshmen had been working on their dance the last 9 weeks of school since football and basketball are over. The girls (my 2) also had their dance recital yesterday and we had rehearsals at the BJCC Friday night. T & I were there for almost 7 hours. It was kind of fun though because the prom was at the Sheraton and we got to see some of the kids we knew. The recital was lovely yesterday and my girls did wonderful! KJ takes her dancing very seriously! She did a great job. I think I liked her ballet dance the best and I liked T's jazz routine the best of her 2 dances.
So, now lacrosse is over. Dance is over. Just have softball left. Don't know what we'll do with chris home every night. hahaha

So writing about the changes my littles and I are going through was quite therapeutic. I feel like in regard to writing some kind of wall has come down, and now I want to write lots of stuff. We will see how long it lasts, I have noticed through this grieving process one day I can feel great and the next I feel like my heart is breaking all over again. Just about anything can bring my emotions crashing down or turn me into a bit of a monster. But maybe the process of allowing people to know what is happening instead of keeping it quiet like some dirty little secret will be just what I need to start making some progress in this whole experience.
But let me just say that today is one of those days when being a part of a parenting team would have been really nice. I woke up sick, apparently a victim of a vicious allergy attack and it was awfully late before I could get up and face the world. And today didn't slow down either, we had school, homeschool PE class (my workout), baseball tournament (they scored the winning run in the bottom of the last inning), and dance class, not to mention errands and chores because I finally got the house clean and I really need to stay on top of it.
I feel great on these days as we rush around and live life but I get frazzeled by the end and instead of coming home to relax I have to rally for bath & bedtime and that is when at least the littlest bring it at full force, it feels like their last hurrah before calling it a day. I knew how much I depended on him and I knew how hard this would be, I think that is why I have fought so hard, and why it hurts so much.

Want to Go Private? (Paperback)
Abby is starting high school--it should be exciting, so why doesn't she care? Everyone tells her to "make an effort," but why can't she just be herself? Abby quickly feels like she's losing a grip on her once-happy life. The only thing she cares about anymore is talking to Luke, a guy she met online, who understands. It feels dangerous and yet good to chat with Luke--he is her secret, and she's his. Then Luke asks her to meet him, and she does. But Luke isn't who he says he is. When Abby goes missing, everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don't, they'll never see Abby again.

Pebble Beach
Here is the way the 18th hole looked on June 29, 2000 when we visited there. I took the picture with my wide-angle Advantix camera. Elaine and I went out to California a few days ahead of a family reunion at Merced. We saw some baseball games and visited Pebble Beach. It is a very beautiful place, and I would enjoy playing golf there under the right conditions. Those conditions would include: An 80% reduction in fees; no spectators; only one playing partner who wouldn't laugh (Don, Larry or Charlie); an extra dozen yellow balls; and, something interesting for Elaine to do during the several hours that would take us to get around.

Baldness is the common problem for men since this situation can transpire at any stage of one's life. Now with the advent of cloning this is not at all a major problem. If bunch of your hair unexpectedly falls due to premature baldness then the cloned hair is the appropriate solution for it. The technique is known as follicular cell implantation that works by replicating remaining hair strands. This process could ultimately help those bald people to regain their own hair. The astounding feature in this technique is that it has the potential to re-grow a limitless supply hair for the cases where baldness may have been a result of cancer treatment, from suffering burns or also the onset of age.
This treatment involves more than 1000 minuscule injections since they have to produce that number of hairs in the bald patients. This technique would be preferred by most of the people because it has the striking advantage of being swifter and less invasive than the traditional transplant techniques. This technology will be made available to the public over the span of five years.

"The Ockhi cyclone has created great damages. The Centre must declare it as a national disaster.

We would also get the support of the Central government for this," he said.
Kodiyeri also said that most of the fishermen doesn't have a proper house, and added that the Centre would be focusing to solve this issue.
He also listened to the complaints of people who lost their loved ones in the Ockhi cyclone, and consoled them.
Meanwhile, Vizhinjam diocese vicar Wilfred told Kodiyeri that the fishing community gets no help from the Coastal Police or the Coast Guard. He also complained that the men in the force were scared to carry out rescue operations.

I have written a post today and am planning to concentrate on my work when I see this post (via Furl - The Object Learning Archive). Lawrence Lessig wrote about how the American politicians shifted the current responsibility and created burdens to our future generation. The argument is that the future cannot vote and hence has no say! Example quoted include:
relaxed the control of greenhouse emissions, creating cheaper energy for us but astronomically higher costs for our kids, if they are to avoid catastrophic climatic change. We have waged an effectively unilateral war against Iraq, giving some a feeling of resolve but engendering three generations of angry souls focused upon a single act of revenge: killing Americans. And we have suffocated stem cell research through absurdly restrictive policies, giving the sanctimonious ground upon which to rally, while guaranteeing that kids with curable diseases will suffer unnecessary deaths
I would just add that another example is the concept of "user pay in education". Shame on all those who supported this idea. We, this generation, has benefited from the generosity of our previous generation, enjoyed a free education to us. I don't see what is the moral in shifting this cost to our kids. See my other post on this issue.

So Long, Status Quo...
Well, friends, the state in which I find myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually is being challenged on a daily basis for me these days. The existing state of affairs in my life is changing in many ways and for many reasons, whether I'd like it to or not.
Here's the key. I want it to.
I'm embracing the changes as they come. That's what this journey to a new me is about, after all. I'm not just talking about weight loss here, though I often focus on that aspect of the journey because it's obvious and measurable. I'm talking about a complete evaluation of who and what I am, why I do the things I do, what I will and won't compromise on. In essence...me.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and knew that things needed to be different? I'm not just talking physically - your hair, your style, your weight. I mean the deeper things. What makes you, well, YOU. I have to tell you, this is a scary proposition, and until recently, I'm not sure I have ever allowed myself to look this deeply into myself and evaluate what I found there. But for the past 6 months or so of this journey, I've been reworking who I am. Mostly out of necessity because the circumstances of my life wouldn't allow me any other choice. But also, because as I go through this season of my life, I'm learning the value of this type of introspection for my growth and happiness.
By considering every aspect of my life subject to change, by laying it open and saying that nothing is a given right now, I've allowed myself the opportunity to truly OWN the choices I'm making with my life and know for certain that I'm willing to be accountable for them. I'm living far more intentionally, and relying far less on the "it's always been this way" decisions that I default to.
Here's just one example of what I have been working through. My career means so much to me. I love being a teacher and believe that I am a very good one. I work hard at it, but to me, it seldom feels like work, because I enjoy it immensely. Well, this year, that was decidedly not true for me. In 24 years, this was one of the most challenging, difficult years I can remember experiencing in the classroom. In the end, I feel like I was successful, but it drained me. Emotionally, physically, intellectually - every way you can be drained, I was. So I allowed myself to use this challenge as an opportunity to consider whether or not my career needed an overhaul, a very scary proposition for me, honestly. You see, I derive a great deal of my self-esteem from doing this job well. Giving that up, even if it was my own choice to do so, was a difficult thing to consider. But I forced myself to try to evaluate fairly whether my career was working for me anymore or not.
The conclusion I have come to is that while I DO love teaching and am very good at it, that there are a number of careers that I believe I could love. When I broke it down to the values at the core of me, what teaching appeals to is my desire to serve and help others, especially children, and my desire to leave a mark on the world because I was here - to be significant. As you can imagine, there are many, many other careers that could accomplish those same ends.
I've always just assumed that I would be a teacher for my entire career. By allowing myself to step back and evaluate this choice for myself, I have affirmed that I do indeed love it, but have also acknowledged that a few other careers would also appeal to me and satisfy my needs and values. Therefore, I have begun investigating the possibility of entering law school, figuring out how it fits with my undergraduate and graduate degrees, what it would require from me financially and in terms of time commitment, and what I would gain when I successfully complete it.
Now, I'm not saying that I'm ready to leave my teaching career, become a lawyer, and never look back. In fact, in all likelihood, for the foreseeable future, because of some other circumstances in my life that require more immediate attention (like these knees!), I probably won't make any major moves in this area. My point is this...I allowed myself to go here. To look at this area of my life, my career, and evaluate whether or not it's still the choice I want for myself. It's not really about the changes. It's about the process. That's important. Let me say that again.
It's not really about the changes. It's about the process.
And herein lies the point of this entire blog post. I'm not just doing this with my career. I'm trying to be open to this kind of scrutiny, evaluation, and change in every part of my life. And not only am I doing it, but I'm also encouraging you to do it, too.
The Bible is important to me - and I've affirmed that belief in my life, by the way. Even that wasn't allowed to remain unchallenged! One thing that it encourages us to do is examine ourselves. To see if our lives measure up to our proclaimed faith. To determine whether we are prepared for communion and intimacy with Him. To ensure that we're walking the talk in essence. What I've determined by engaging in this action in my life is that it is wise to challenge the status quo.
Some things in my life have changed for the better because I've done this. Some things have remained unchanged, but even those have taken on more significance and meaning for me now because I know that I am intentionally choosing to live the way I am. Many more things have yet to be considered, but I'm certain that I will. I'm learning more and more who this "New Angie" is going to be by engaging in this process...who I want her to be, who I believe God has called her to be.
It takes guts to do this. What I've already figured out on this journey is that I'm a lot stronger than I usually give myself credit for. And most certainly what I've affirmed in the past few months is that our God is a lot stronger than I have given Him credit for, too. Oh, I've SAID that He's strong, but far too often, I've acted on my own without Him because I didn't really believe He would handle it. I've never been more happy to be so wrong about that. :-)
So...in the words of one of my favorite Nichole Nordeman songs, Brave...
"So long, status quo.
I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave!
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave!"

Remember Angie that you have a "brave" gene. You gave up teaching once before.............for administration. You missed teaching so much that you did it even while being a principal. It was "brave" to go back to teaching too. With some people it takes bravery to even get out of bed in the morning. You are an EXCELLENT teacher............. A MASTER teacher, and you recognized that your talents were in teaching and that you enjoyed teaching more than administrating. As you know I taught for many years and have seen wonderful and not so great teachers come and go and you are one of the best. Every teaching year is different so there really isn't any "status quo" in elementary education. Curriculums and kids and parents all change year to year and not always for the best. Follow your heart and listen to God and know that your friends will pray for you whatever your decision!ReplyDelete
Those are some lovely words, Dawn. Thank you. I'm just more willing now to open myself up to WHATEVER changes might make sense for me. I think this is all part of defining who I am, who I want to be, and also, who I DON'T want to be. God is really doing a work in me the more I allow myself to question each part of my life and reshape it if it's needed. Who knows what will become of this law school thing? God, for sure...but being open to any kind of change in my life is a positive thing that moves me forward. Thanks for your love and support! You are a fantastic teacher...and an amazing friend! Glad that God crossed our paths!ReplyDelete

I've been working on this baby quilt for the last couple of nights and this is what I've gotten done so far. I'm going to put a lavender border on it that matches the backing. I'll add the border before Sunday so I can lay it out for pin/basting at church after services.
I've just racked my brains trying to figure out where/how to hang my quilts so I can take good pictures of them to show you. I can't think of a single place in my house that has an entire wall that furniture isn't in front of. In past pictures, I've mostly just laid them out on the floor or on the bed, but I think that you can see so much more when they are hanging up (plus, there's not a lot of floor space and even then I'd have to vacuum up all the dog hair before I took any pictures). In the above picture, I have my DD holding it up. But she's not very big and even this baby blanket is bigger than her arms will reach. Oh well. Maybe its just another excuse for me to somehow get a sewing studio. Of course, that would mean adding on to the house...(vbg).
I'm already eying my next project. I bought a pattern and fabric for a really cool craft tote so I can carry around my quilting stuff. Fabric pictures to follow.

This is the start of my new Games Development blog which will consist of skills I learn at college and the work I get down throughout my course and at home.
I am currently a student at Canterbury College who is studying the UAL Games development extended diploma course. My fondness of games comes from the fact that I grew up playing games which has developed into an interest on how games work and the decisions that are involved in order to make a game and that has also inspired me to try become a games artist or a programmer.

Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram has seized the key north-eastern town of Bama after fierce fighting with government forces, residents say.
Thousands of civilians have fled the town, along with soldiers, they added.
The military has not yet officially commented on the claim that it has lost control of Bama, the second biggest town in Borno state.
Last month, Boko Haram said it had established an Islamic state in areas it controls in north-eastern Nigeria.
If confirmed, the capture of Bama would be an extremely significant development and would raise concerns that Boko Haram's next target will be Maiduguri, the state capital about 70km (45 miles) away, says BBC Hausa service editor Mansur Liman in the capital, Abuja.
It would be the biggest town under Boko Haram control.
Residents told BBC Hausa that Boko Haram captured Bama after heavy fighting on Sunday and Monday.
The military had initially repelled Boko Haram's assault, but the group returned with reinforcements to seize the town, the residents said.
The militants, who travelled in armoured trucks, first took control of the military barracks, they added.
Soldiers and residents fled on foot, many of them walking all the way to Maiduguri, residents told the BBC.
Several security sources said Boko Haram had over-run much of Bama and there were heavy casualties on both sides, Reuters news agency reports.
About 70 militants had been killed, the Associated Press quoted security sources as saying.
On Monday, the military said on its Twitter account that the air force had been used to "repel and dislodge" Boko Haram from Bama.
The most recent census, in 2006, showed the town had a population of about 270,000.

| From RomanceJunkies.com
Jessy Turner is one of the best swimming coaches in the country. However, his rigid routines and insistence that his rules be followed at all times have cost him more than one swimmer. Jessy has not seen a swimmer like Mike in a long time. He is excited about working with him. Mike needs the care and attention of a private coach. Jessy knows that he can help Mike become on of the top swimmers in the world. However, he is afraid that Mike will not want to stay with him.
Mike Gaulliet has been swimming ever since he can remember. Swimming is Mike's whole life. His parents, who he lost at a very young age, were world class swimmers as well. Mike is young and he has a lot of raw talent and energy but he needs to be reigned in. He works so hard that he often makes himself sick. All Mike wants is to make it as a swimmer; he is willing to try anything if it will help him succeed. He respects Jessy and decides to accept his help.
Mike and Jessy quickly settle into a routine. Things are going well. Both Mike and Jessy are committed to making Mike the best swimmer he can be. However, due to all the time they are spending together their growing mutual attraction is becoming more and more difficult to ignore. Mike is exactly Jessy's type and he can't help but care about him. Jessy is concerned that becoming lovers will adversely affect Mike's training. For his part, Mike has never had anyone taking care of him the way that Jessy does, as a result he is developing deep feelings for his trainer. What happens when their relationship moves beyond the pool? Read PERSONAL BEST and find out.
I am usually not a big fan of sports related stories but Sean Michael is one of my favorite authors so I decided to give PERSONAL BEST a try. I was really glad I did. Sean Michael has written yet another intriguing story. I found myself rooting for Mike and Jessy. I particularly liked the development of their relationship. This story is sweet, tender and sizzling hot! I look forward to reading more about Mike and Jessy. I will definitely be checking out the sequel.

Chapter 8
The problem is that it was a locked-door-mystery. Whoever had done this, had masterfully conceived of a way to pull off a murder in plain sight and then leave him or her self no way of escape knowing that they had a built in alibi. We had been watching their every move. We'd have seen whatever they did.
Or had we? Lance and Charles seemed to have developed a non-verbal manner of communicating. Is it possible that together they had met up before going onto the set, and that together they had devised a scheme through which they'd acted in tandem to each do a little piece of the murder? They weren't supposed to know each other before meeting on the set, but maybe they had met secretly before taping began. If so, that would have been something that Schwartz might have gleaned from the promo.
So how would that work -- I wondered. One of them would have to collect some of the poison from the garden. Or would they? If they had colluded before the show premiered, why couldn't they have thought to bring in the poison with them? But how would they know that there would be pokeweed on the set? It was a dilemma. Maybe that had simply been a happy accident. Or maybe one of them had an in with the production staff. Yes! That made sense.
One of the two men, Charles or Lance, might have had an accomplice in the production staff. Through this mole, perhaps -- I postulated -- one or the other had learned of the pokeweed on the set and had schemed with this partner before production even began.
Of course this created even more difficulties. For one, why would they scheme to kill a fellow contestant before they had even met him? What possible motive could there be for that? The thrill maybe, but it seemed far-fetched. Additionally, why bring in a partner? Why not just do the killing alone? Unless, the contestant with the connection to the production staff had wanted some insulation in case that connection had been discovered. If he had given the plan over to a third party, and if it was discovered that he had ties to the show's staff, it would be better if he could show on tape that he had never been anywhere near Myron's plate.
Which gave me another idea. If I was right ... if either Charles or Lance had a way of secreting info from the production team, then it would mean that the other had dosed Myron. And if one of the two had a connection to the staff, it probably meant that he was the overlord. And if he was the overlord, then the other knew it and would probably benefit by being the finalist, and the two would have agreed to spilt the final pot no matter what the outcome. Furthermore, if Myron had figured out who the overlord was, this might have been a potential chink in their scheme. Perhaps, they had brought in the poison along with this scheme in case of this potentiality. Eureka! I had a theory.
"Foyer here," the voice on my cell said.
"Foyer, hey. It's Cat Hoskin," I informed the entertainment writer for Gamut magazine. "Are you covering this Overlord story?"
"Yeah, sort of," he said. "There's going to be a press conference before the show starts tomorrow night, and I'll be in the pool," he said referring to the press pool.
"Do you know anybody inside the production office that you can trust?"
"I haven't been at this job long enough to build up any major friendships," he noted. "I know a few of the guys by name. That's about it. Why?"
"Well," I said coyly, "I have a little theory about what might have happened, and I was hoping to get a little assist from the man who owes his cushy new job to me. In case you're wondering, that would be you."
"Yeah, thanks for not lording that over me too much," he said in a voice stout with sarcasm; which was his usual tone anyway, so I just let it pass. After all, the man had been a professional critic for years. "What is it you wanted me to do exactly, master?"
"That's mistress," I corrected him.
"You wish."
"Whatever," I said, a chill at the thought running down my spine. "What I want is for you to find out for me how the production staff slips information to the overlord, and how the overlord is chosen, and how his or her identity is kept secret from the public and anyone on the staff who isn't in a need to know position."
"Ahh," Foyer said. "Well as it happens, I can do all of that without even making a call to the production company." He was gloating. "Before the season began, they shipped a media kit that explains all of that in excruciating detail. It's actually come in very handy for many of the press people covering this season. You already know about the schematics of the compound, but there's also biographical info on the contestants and the host as well as nearly all of the background on the history of the show."
"Do they always send that much stuff for an established program?" I asked.
"How should I know? This is my first season as entertainment editor. But if you want my opinion, I'd wager dollars to donuts that they did it because the network was having a slow season otherwise, and the bigwigs were pressing deMarc to have a larger than usual season so that Overlord could be a bigger draw for their otherwise lackluster schedule. Have you seen any of the crap that they've put on in the nine PM time slots on Friday and Wednesdays following ..."
"No," I interrupted. "I have better things to do with my time than see what comes on next."
"Really?" Foyer said. "That's not what I hear. Rumor has it you aren't producing diddly."
"You can't always believe what you hear." I said. "Hey, wait. What do you hear exactly? Who are you talking to about my situation anyway?"
"Everybody here at the magazine is talking about it," Foyer said. "The scuttle is that Schwartz is losing his edge, and the publisher is thinking of pulling your commission and bringing you back to Cleveland. Hey look, I gotta motor. I have an early flight to catch to LA for that press conference tomorrow."
"It's true," Jana said. Jana was my best friend in the office at Gamut's headquarters. I had called her to get that media kit faxed over to me and to find out if the rumor Foyer was kiting had any basis on the ground. If anyone would know, Jana would. "The publishers had a meeting and decided that you were being wasted in Pittsburgh. They're thinking that either they should cut you loose to freelance or pull you back to Cleveland."
"But, I'm earning my paycheck," I said. "I'm editing ..."
"They let you do that as a favor," Jana said. "They can hire an in-house editor for a lot less than they pay you to do it long distance. And they feel that they'd have more control over an in-house editor." Jana sighed. "It's a bad situation. They want to keep you writing about Schwartz, but only if he's producing. So far, you haven't even thrown them anything to reject as too boring."
"Well, that's about to change," I said.
"You've got something too boring for them?" Jana asked in a playfully smug tone.
"No, something good. I've got the solution to the Overlord case."
"Schwartz has that one figured out?" Jana said excitedly.
"I think so," I said, "but I think that maybe I'm on to a little more even than he is."
"Wait," Jana said. "Are you saying that you have the case solved personally?"
"I think maybe I do," I said using my own smug tone, only not as playful.
"Well, how does that help?" Jana asked.
"I think that Schwartz feels he has who the killer is all worked out, but he doesn't know how to prove it, or he would have said something about that by now. I have a plan for the whole enchilada."
"And is that how you plan to write the piece? That you outsmarted the great Lupa Schwartz?" Jana asked.
"Well, why not?" I demanded.
"Because they would never want to publish it," Jana said. "That's why. You're not supposed to be the story. He is."
I was downloading the faxed copy of the media kit on the personal computer in my bedroom thinking about what Jana had said. She was right. I wasn't supposed to be the story. Not that I couldn't write a story about how I had outfoxed the great detective, but if I did it would be the last story I ever wrote about him. And the truth was that I liked it here. I enjoyed having a mother figure in Beverly and a sister-like relationship with Mia. I enjoyed the excitement of the investigations and learning about Schwartz's peculiarities and peccadilloes. I liked the new and fascinating world of intellectuals and rogues that I had been tossed into.
In Cleveland, all of the people I knew were interested in only one thing, finding and writing the next big story. It was competitive and cutthroat. Here, I was free to compete with Schwartz to figure out the mystery before he revealed it, but I always knew that he was a jump ahead of me; and that was somehow oddly comforting. Plus here, the object wasn't only to tell the story, but to help people. Schwartz had a code of justice that he lived by. He had designed and defined his own moral chivalric ethos. True, some of his ideas of right and wrong were a little eccentric, but that's what made him so unique.
So even if I was able to use this package to solve all of the Ws of this case, what would it profit me? I'd have a great story to tell as I sat on the bus back to Cleveland. I couldn't just write the stories of Schwartz's adventures on a freelance basis. I couldn't know when the next story would come along, and I had to be a regularly contributing member of the Schwartz household doing my part to earn my keep. Even though I knew that Schwartz would have allowed me to live there for free making payments to the household largess only when I sold a story, it wouldn't feel right. I needed that regular paycheck and the satisfaction of a regular schedule.
So I'd have to let Schwartz solve this one without any help from me. Or would I? Suppose I was to tell Schwartz that I had gotten the media kit as background for after he solved the case. Suppose I then casually mentioned that the media kit explained how the overlord was given intelligence and guidance by the production staff. Suppose I then left the kit in plain sight where Schwartz could find it by accident. This way I could easily write up the account without ever mentioning that I had worked out the mystery beforehand.
I'd have to figure out exactly what I wanted to say before I approached him. To that end, I sat down with the printouts and considered my options.
The kit contained an exceptionally specific history of the show. It told how the producers had wanted to assure the integrity of their secret overlord right up until the reveal in the season finale. To that end, they had used a computer generated psychological profile to determine which of the contestants would be the best secret-keepers. In season one, they had simply taken the contestant who had scored the best on the profile and asked her to be the overlord. In season two, they had feared that if they had left it optional, the chosen would-be overlord might refuse preferring in stead to be one of the contestants, so they had had all of the auditioning wannabes sign a waiver stating that if approached, they would gladly accept the role. It turns out that this was an unnecessary precaution, because all of the wannabes wanted to be the overlord. It was a status thing. Also, the overlord had a fifty/fifty chance of winning compared to a one in sixteen shot for the contestants.
Come season three, the producers had a new fear. What if the results of the profiles were leaked? It would be a foregone conclusion who the overlord was. To remedy this, they took the top three profiles and randomly drew one to be the overlord, although they still were guarded about the results of the profiling. This created the added benefit that an even smaller circle of staffers would know who's name had been ultimately chosen, but it did feed into my personal theory. What if -- I surmised -- a staffer who knew who the final three possible overlords were but who didn't know who had been picked had gone to the three with his information. It would then give an even greater incentive to kill off the third player; one less unnecessary party to share the booty with. The only problem was that the producers actually only chose the overlord from the three names the day before taping began, and they kept the contestants sequestered under guard that night. However, ultimately, all this meant was that the three potential choices wouldn't know which of them had been picked until they got together on the set, and it would necessitate them developing my theoretical secret unspoken code before they came to the show. So what at first seemed like a hitch actually benefited my theory.
The kit went on to explain that the confessional room had a panel that opened into the production room in the attached garage. The confessional was also the only room that didn't have a live twenty-four hour Internet feed from its camera. Whatever happened in there was seen by the production staff, but the home audience only saw what the editors chose to show us. So it was in there that the overlord was told what to do each day. For this reason, all of the contestants were required to spend a set amount of time in the confessional every day, although they were allowed to -- and even encouraged to use the room whenever they wanted.
I supposed that it could have been in there that the pokeweed had been secretly exchanged Charles to Lance or vice versa.
Armed with this information, Schwartz could easily come to the same conclusion I had, and he could use it to figure out a way to prove his -- or should I say our hypothesis?

It Ain't Necessarily So – 14: Do residents have the right to do as they like in their own rooms?
with JOHN BURTON
All of us should consider what we would want if and when we go to live in a care home. I don't think I'd be an easy resident. If I was told, "There are no rules here," I'd need to see if that was true. And if I was given a list of rules of the house, I'd want to test every one.
I like a cigar occasionally, and some good beer, whisky or rum more than occasionally. I drink pints of tea, so I've got to have a kettle and teapot, and a fridge for milk, ice and any little snacks I fancy. I'm a bit of a hoarder and I'm not very tidy. Although I usually keep fairly regular hours, I like to go to bed and get up late when I feel like it.
I would want my pictures on the walls, and I like the window open at night and wide open in the summer. No, I do not want a restrictor on my window. I want pure cotton sheets and pillowcases . . . OK, I'll bring my own, but you'd better not muddle them up with anyone else's. I'll have a phone, telly, and computer. I listen to Radio 4 for hours on end, sometimes to the World Service at night when I can't sleep. I expect privacy.
If I have my wife, family, friends, or neighbours (in the home) in my room at any time, I do not expect to be disturbed. I'll come and go as I want and if I want to stay out late, that's my business. As I understand it, I have exactly the same rights to live my life as I want and to use my premises (whether owned or rented) as I had before I came to the home.
Well? Do you think you'll be able to cope? Y ou see, what's most important is your attitude. If you start laying down the law (rules) and tell me what I can and can't do, I can be as unreasonable as you – probably more! But, if you understand and respect my position, and value my self-determination, we'll get on like a house on fire . . . Yes, I might even agree to give up the cigars! And I'll be a real asset to the home. A resident's room in a care home is their own private space over which they should have control, but different levels and areas of privacy, ownership and control matter to different people. So, be reasonable, be flexible, balance safety with freedom and self-determination, and, of course, with the care and welfare of the resident . . . which is why they are living at your home in the first place.
We found a different way: Caring Times readers tell their stories
Care home manager: This can be a very contentious issue with infection control. Carpets in bedrooms? Oh the shame. Impervious wipeable flooring is what I'm expected to use. Do my residents want this? No. All their little nick-nacks that make rooms home from home? Too much clutter! A breeding zone for germs. But my residents want their possessions in their rooms.
To me, this home is their home. They can invite family and friends round. I provide refreshments at no extra cost. They can bring a pet to live with them if we are able to accommodate (clearly a Great Dane may cause some upset). They can have their room redecorated to suit, buy their own carpet, have SKY TV and telephones . . . anything they want really as long as it's not ridiculous.
As I see it, their room is the only space they can call their very own, and as such it should be individual and unique to each and every resident. Usually though, when I visit other care homes, rooms are just like the Holiday Inn with a couple of discreet personal effects. Perish the thought that someone would bring their own bedding that doesn't match our colour scheme!
Sometimes I think I'm becoming a little cynical, but after 28 years working in care, I guess this can happen. My focus always has been and always will be the care and well-being of my residents. I'm not perfect and neither are my staff team but they work hard and give their best; in return their greatest reward is the feedback from residents and relatives. That's why we do this job, it certainly isn't the 'flexible' hours and crappy pay!
Team leader: I work in a home for people who have an alcohol addiction, so it wouldn't make sense to tell residents they can do as they like in their own rooms. We don't allow alcohol on the premises and when people come here they know that. We don't allow drugs or tobacco either.
There's a smoking shelter in the garden and we keep people's cigarettes for them. I've worked in old people's homes where sometimes you have residents who have abused alcohol. That can be difficult because unless you get the agreement of residents before they come, you can't very well turn round and say you can't have alcohol in your room, or you can't do this or that, when everyone else is free to do as they like. It's got to be an individual thing and it's really got to be agreed with residents and worked at. Another thing to be considered is whether the private behaviour – drinking is only one example – is actually that harmful. Lots of people drink to excess, but we don't break into their houses and confiscate their booze.

Overwatch is free for the month of May—but only in China
Are you without a game to play? You're in luck—if you're in China: Overwatch will be free in the country for the entire month of May.
All 24 heroes and 14 maps will be free to play from May 1 until May 31, though only in quick play, against AI, custom games, and in the arcade. Competitive play will be off-limits to free Overwatch players.
Any progress made during the free month of Overwatch, like levels or loot acquired, will translate over if you decide to buy the game, as long as the same account is used. Competitive mode, too, will become available for those who buy Overwatch after the free period.
Overwatch lead software engineer Bill Warnecke confirmed on Reddit that the free month is only for China. Blizzard has implemented free periods worldwide, like a free weekend in November of last year for all regions, but it's never been quite so generous with its length.
To play, you just have to install the Blizzard game client and create a Blizzard account. If you already have one, you're already good to go. Install Overwatch, and you'll be able to log into the game for free.
One month of free Overwatch is the perfect length to get someone hooked: We predict China's going to see quite a few new players buying the game once the free period is over. It's just too bad it's starting after the super fun Overwatch Uprising event ends on May 1.

In a big victory for NBA owners, an arbitrator Monday rejected the union's grievance that 226 players with guaranteed contracts should be paid during the lockout.
The decision by John Feerick came on the 111th day of the lockout, which has caused the league to cancel the first two weeks of the regular season.
With negotiations stalled and the sides far apart on the main economic issues, the ruling strengthens the owners' bargaining position.
No longer do they face the prospect of having to pay more than $700 million in salaries to the players they are barring from work.
"We are pleased with the arbitrator's ruling," NBA chief legal officer Jeffrey Mishkin said. "Unfortunately, it does not get us any closer to a deal with the union's leadership."
"Only negotiations will end our current impasse and lead to a settlement of our dispute. This is yet another defeat for the union's strategy of litigation instead of negotiation."
The union claimed the absence of lockout language in the standard player contract meant the owners were liable for guaranteed salaries.
The owners argued the right to withhold pay by imposing a lockout was a tenet of labor law.
The ruling means players now face the reality of not being paid until the dispute is settled at the bargaining table. Until now, they had been holding hope a verdict in their favor would pressure the owners to soften their stance and come to the table with a better offer.
Union officials did not immediately comment.
The sides are fighting over, among other things, the amount of revenues owners will devote to salaries. Concerned by salary expenses that are outpacing revenues, the owners imposed the lockout July 1 and have vowed to achieve a new deal that sets a definitive limit on payroll costs.
The sides haven't bargained since last Tuesday, when the players proposed a "tax" on the highest salaries to help slow payroll growth.
The league responded Friday with a counterproposal incorporating the tax, but at a much lower threshold and with much higher rates. The union responded by saying it was a "step backward," and the sides have been waiting to hear from Feerick since.
There seems little possibility talks will resume this week. The union has scheduled a meeting of its entire membership in Las Vegas for Thursday, and the union's agents advisory committee will meet with the union's leadership in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
"We've got to get a sense of where the players are, what they consider to be reasonable and what they're willing to do in order to get the season to commence," union director Billy Hunter said before Feerick's verdict was known.
After holding a six-day hearing over the summer that included a nine-day break to accommodate the vacation plans of commissioner David Stern and deputy commissioner Russ Granik, Feerick had 30 days to rule.
He took all his allotted time, plus an additional day becaus his deadline fell on a Sunday.
The union filed the grievance just hours before the lockout was imposed July 1. Although Feerick's jurisdiction expired along with the collective bargaining agreement, he ruled the union had beat the deadline and he was entitled to hear the case.
Most players were to receive their first paychecks Nov. 15, although a dozen or so had clauses entitling them to be paid over the summer. None has received a paycheck.
Feerick, a Fordham law professor, ruled in the controversial Latrell Sprewell case in which he reduced the player's one-year suspension for attacking his coach and reinstated his contract.

I canadesi The Agonist rilasceranno il nuovo album "Five" il 30 settembre via Napalm Records. Il CD è stato registrato con il produttore Mike Plotnikoff (Buckcherry, Otep, Halestorm, Drowning Pool, Theory Of A Deadman, 3 Doors Down, Fear Factory, Flyleaf e Skillet, tra gli altri). Potete vedere la copertina più in basso. Il chitarrista Danny Marino ha detto:
"We are so anxious to release this record to our fans and the rest of the world!
This album represents another shift in the evolution of The Agonist!
Vicky and I went even deeper into what makes a song really connect.
I'm very proud of everyone's hard work making this the most diverse and interesting record for us to date!
It was a great learning experience working with Mike Plotnikoff and fully immersing ourselves in the recording process 24/7.
Just as much as we are excited to release this album, we are psyched to get back out on the road and connect directly with our fans! Europe gets the first taste before we unleash on North America this November with Epica."

Tremont Street is a major thoroughfare in Boston, Massachusetts.
Tremont Street begins at Government Center in Boston's city center as a continuation of Cambridge Street, and forms the eastern edge of Boston Common. Continuing in a roughly southwesterly direction, it passes through Boston's Theater District, crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike, and becomes a broad boulevard in the South End neighborhood. It then turns to the west as a narrower four-lane street, running through Mission Hill and terminating at Brigham Circle, where it intersects Huntington Avenue. The street name zigzags across several physical roads, often requiring a sharp turn to remain on the street.
The name is a variation of one of the original appellations of the city, "Trimountaine", a reference to a hill that formerly had three peaks. Beacon Hill, with its single peak, is all that remains of the Trimountain. Much of the Trimountain was removed, and the earth used as fill to expand the Shawmut Peninsula. The two smaller peaks, Cotton Hill (or Pemberton Hill, at what is now Pemberton Square) and Mt. Whoredom (or Mt. Vernon, formerly at the location of the modern-day Louisburg Square) no longer exist.[1] The central peak, Sentry Hill, now called Beacon Hill, is smaller than the original peak, which reached approximately to the height of the top of the State House.
A British military map of Boston from 1775, prepared by a Lieut. Sir Thomas Hyde Page of His Majesty's Corps of Engineers, shows Beacon Hill, Mount Whoredom, and another unnamed hill all just above Beacon Street. There is a small street on the northeast corner of Boston Common called "Treamount Street" from School Street to Hanover Street, the precursor of modern Tremont Street, running north from what was then called Common Street (modern Tremont Street alongside the eastern border of Boston Common).[2]
Sites of interest along Tremont Street, from northeast to southwest, include:
The Tremont Street Subway runs underneath the street. Opened in 1897, it was the first subway tunnel in North America and still carries the MBTA Green Line.
The Green Line stops in three places under Tremont Street:
