MP3 track of the day: Eminem and Rhianna – Love the way you lie
Weather: Cloudy with a small, light showers; cooler than yesterday … but still hot.
Getting up at 6:00am I got ready to meet Cheryl in reception. Yesterday I had spent nearly the whole day trying to find accommodation in Singatoka so I could go to the Sand Dunes National Park. After giving up I went to the tourist office where a lady said I could do it in a day (If I left early) and Cheryl (a Brit, who I had met in LA waiting for the flight to Fiji), who was also in the tourist office at the time, also wanted to see the Sand Dunes National Park and so asked if she could tag along.
Anyway I got up at 6:00am to get ready to meet Cheryl in reception at 7:00am. We got to Nadi bus station and caught the bus to the Sand Dunes National Park with no troubles. It was a nice ride and it'll be the one I take tomorrow to Mango Beach; anyway we arrived at the national park tourist office where a nice guy gave us a map of a 2 hour route around the sand dunes and also took $8.00 (£2.50) off each of us as a fee to enter the park.
The beginning of the trip was fine; as it was around 9:00am when we started; it was certainly hot, but not as bad as yesterday and there wasn't anyone else around. We went through a 'jungleish' section before reaching the actual sand dunes themselves. My guidebook told me that these dunes reached 80 meters high in some areas, but it's not until you see them (and climb them as you will hear later on) that you really appreciate the size and scale of these natural sand-made hills.
All was going swimmingly when the path we were following just stopped at the bottom of a Sand Dune. Looking at the map it did direct us to climb the massive sand dune in front of us, but Cheryl wasn't too sure as there seemed to be a path that lead down into a village and maybe we were supposed to go around. I remember the guy at the office saying that we did have to climb a sand dune and I was pretty adamant that climbing it was the right way … and so we climbed.
It's pretty hard going climbing up the side of a sand dune as with every step the sand gives way and you only gain a few inches in elevation. We both made it to the top but again it wasn't clear where to go (some signs at this point would have been useful). Cheryl was still talking about going through the village but I was certain that was wrong; as the clouds drew in I went on top of another sand dune (leaving Cheryl to wait) to have a look around.
Once on this final plateau the sand became just as firm to walk on as concrete and so I walked around a lot until I was pretty sure the way to go. As I walked back to Cheryl the rain came down (which was lovely as I had been hot and sticky up until this point) to tell her what I had seen. She still favored the village route but again we followed my lead and soon we made it across the sand dunes to the final part of the walk, the coastal walk.
The sand dunes had been amazing; it was like being in a desert … and they were so big. Once down at the coast we had another problem; we weren't too sure exactly where we had descended onto the coastal walk … had we gone further than the map was showing? Had we not gone as far as the map had shown? It didn't really matter to me as I knew where we pretty much were, but just to make sure we climbed another sand dune to get our bearings. The only slight annoyance at this part was Cheryl going on, and on, and on about how she thought we had gone wrong (basically pointing the finger at me) and that we should have taken the other route into the village. After the 126th time of hearing this I did think about pushing Cheryl down said sand dune but I thought the guy at the tourist office might have some questions for me.
Once we had our bearings we descended back down the sand dune and along the coast until we saw a sign that directed us back to the tourist office. On the way back we saw a sign that read 'to the tree of lost soles' which scared me a little (thinking it was voodoo stuff) until I saw sandals hanging from the tree branches (tree of lost soles … get it).
It had taken us three hours to do a two hour walk, which wasn't bad. We had a word with the guy in the tourist office who said that we did actually go the right way after all, but I agree with Cheryl that more signs would have been useful.
As the Sand Dunes National Park is just out of Sigotoka, the guy in the Sand Dunes National Park tourist office said that it would be easier if we caught a return taxi to Sigatoka bus station and catch a bus back to Nadi from there. The Fijian taxi's have this great idea; if they are returning back to base from taking someone somewhere (i.e. a taxi takes someone out of Sigatoka and is then returning back) then they will pick up anyone, who wants to go the same way, for $1 (33p) per person. It's a great idea as this means the taxi driver gets a little more money than he would have previously and people get a cheap ride into town. We did this and before we knew it were we on the bus back to Nadi at Sigatoka bus station.
Once back in Nadi we came straight back to the resort and parted; I'm here in my dorm (which I've been the only one sleeping in the dorm since 7:00am yesterday morning) and I've had a shower, a chill and change of clothes.
I think tonight I'm just going to chill and have an early night. Tomorrow I leave Nadi for Mango Bay around 9:30ish so another early start for me.
After my first two days in Fiji I have made one crucial decision … yes I am now wearing my shorts for the first time, and it isn't a pretty sight. I feel slightly embarrassed of my white matchstick legs, but it's just so hot here that it has to be done (sorry Fiji).
Toodle Pip!

So, here are Top 10 Authors I Quit Reading (and why)
10. Nikolaj Gogol - just want to get one thing straight: I love Gogol. The guy was a genius with words. Back when I was a nerdy teenager, I used to read Gogol all the time. But times changed, and so did I, and, frankly, I just don't feel the urge to read him again. Still, everyone should read Gogol at least once in their life.
Nikolaj Gogol
9. Anton Chekhov - same as with Gogol. Still a fan of this M.D. turned author, but I just don't feel like reading him anymore.
8. Alexander Dumas – what would my childhood be without The Three Musketeers and its sequels? However, when I tried to re-read some of these classics as an adult, they just didn't live up to the nostalgia. Some things are better left in the past.
7. Mikhail Lermontov - because they force fed us his poetry in school.
6. J.K. Rowling - when the first Harry Potter book came out, I was right there with all the other muggles who wished they were wizards. But by the time I finished The Order of the Pheonix the magic was gone and, to be honest, the whole thing became too repetitive.
The last Harry Potter book I read
5. Dan Brown - OK, I admit I've only read The Da Vinci Code, but it was more than enough to swear off any other works by Mr. Brown. Maybe I'm wrong to judge the author by just one book, maybe not. One thing is sure - I'm never going back.
4. Ernest Hemingway - I have a great amount of respect for the classics, but the hype surrounding Hemingway will forever baffle me. Perhaps, it's a matter of taste. Who knows?
3. Herman Melville - again, I've only read Moby Dick, but I really, truly hated it with all my heart. I don't know what was worse - the messy, incoherent narrative or the pseudo-scientific passages about whales.
2. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky - so we've come to the top two. My love for science fiction started with Clifford D. Simak and the Strugatsky Brothers. I was thirteen back then. Sixteen years later, I still re-read Simak at least twice a year. Strugatskys, not so much. It's not that their books are bad, I just got fed up with the soulless characters devoid of any human emotion, and the pseudo-intellectual questions that the authors tried to raise. Not to mention their inability to write strong and likable female characters.
1. Stanislaw Lem – I used to be a fan of Mr. Lem. I still like Solaris and the very funny adventures of Ijon Tichy. My problem with Lem, though, has always the arrogance and the pretentiousness with which his books were written. But that's not why I quit reading Lem. No, the reason why he holds the number one spot on my list, is his crime novel The Investigation. When I finally finished it, I only had one question: did Lem even know how to write a crime story?
Well, that's about it. Thank you for making it to the end of the list :) and don't forget to subscribe. Also, I will be writing my review for Margaret Atwood's In Other Worlds very soon.

British fantasy adventure based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, about a young man (Charlie Cox) who sets out to capture a fallen star to impress the town beauty and discovers that the star is, in fact, a beautiful woman (Claire Danes).
For some reason the other galas have received much more of a trumpeting than "Stardust" (perhaps because the distributors are rumoured to have banned the cast from attending the festival), but this turned out to be an absolute delight from start to finish. Charlie Cox (who could have a big, Hugh Grant-style career ahead of him if his performance here is any guide) plays Tristan Thorn, who ventures through the Forbidden Wall in search of a fallen star, with which to win the hand of the town beauty (Sienna Miller). However, Tristan is unprepared for what he finds: the star is in fact a beautiful woman (Claire Danes) and, what's more, she's none too pleased with being handed over as a present. That's the least of her problems, however - she's also being pursued by an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer, enjoying herself enormously) who wants to eat her heart in order to stay young and beautiful, plus two rival princes (Mark Strong and Jason Flemyng) are on her trail because of a necklace that brought her down to earth. On top of all that, there's the small mystery of Tristan's mother to contend with. Considering the huge number of characters and sub-plots, director Matthew Vaughn (aka Mr Claudia Schiffer, who reputedly persuaded Vaughn to do the film after reading Neil Gaiman's novel while pregnant) and screenwriter Jane Goldman (aka Mrs Jonathan Ross) do a remarkable job of keeping each plot strand moving. The action / fantasy sequences are enjoyable (the spells fight is better than anything in the Harry Potter movies) and the cast are terrific, especially Robert DeNiro, who has a fabulous part as the Dreaded Pirate (by reputation, at least), Captain Shakespeare. Danes and Cox make a great screen couple - they have real chemistry together which, literally, lights up the screen. The film is also extremely funny - there are several hilarious lines and many wonderful sight gags (e.g. Michelle's witch aging a little more every time she uses magic; the various killed-off princes -including Julian Rhind-Tutt and Adam Buxton- tagging along as ghosts). Also, this is a film that finally understands that audiences want only two things from a Ricky Gervais cameo: 1) to see him shut up, and 2) to see him get killed. Happily, this delivers both. Four stars.
Crazy Love
Documentary about the relationship between Burt Pugach and Linda Riss, who eventually married, despite the fact that Pugach had served 14 years for hiring thugs to throw acid in Linda's face, after she rejected him.
There is only one possible reaction to a viewing of "Crazy Love", and that's: "Man, that is Fucked. Up." It's a remarkable documentary that tells an even more remarkable story. Linda Riss was a stunningly beautiful girl in the late 1950s, until her jilted ex-boyfriend Burt Pugach (pronounced "Poo-gash", pronunciation-fans) hired some thugs to throw lye in her face, permanently disfiguring her and leaving her with almost total blindness. (To add further colour to the story, Linda only split with Burth because she found out about his wife and child!) At any rate, that's just the beginning of the story. While in jail, Burt bombards Linda with love-letters. Then, after serving 14 years (during which he studied law and even got convictions overturned for his fellow inmates), Burt gets out of jail and goes on TV, proposing to Linda and asking her to forgive him. And she accepts. And they're still married. The documentary basically allows Burt and Linda to tell the stories in their own words, via interviews conducted both separately and together. There are also interviews with Burt's friends (one of whom seems like a particularly unsavoury piece of work), Linda's friends, Burt and Linda's biographer and Burt's ex-secretary, with whom he also had an affair. Like the tabloid sensation that the story was in its time (both in the 50s and then in the 70s when they got married), the story is lurid, compelling and utterly fascinating. It's also heart-breakingly sad - Linda looked like a cross between Gloria Grahame, Susan Hayward and Anne Bancroft in her youth and Burt robbed her of her sense of self. The director (Dan Klores) spices things up with a terrific soundtrack and several photographs, home movie extacts and period news reports etc. The really interesting thing is when you finally get to watch Burt and Linda as they are now: she seems extremely controlling (basically, she's a terrible nag) and as the footage we're watching hammers that home, Linda's voice on the soundtrack says, "Basically, I figured that was the best punishment..." Klores was there for a Q&A afterwards, at which he revealed that he thought both Burt and Linda were narcissists who thrived on publicity (something the film doesn't really make clear) and that the only question that Burt wouldn't answer was whether or not he'd had homosexual experiences in prison. Oh, and the photo is of the wildly inappropriate strawberry lollies given away at the screening. You've got to love Tartan. Four stars.
American indie horror flick, about a girl who discovers that she has sharp teeth in her vagina...with predictably gory results.
This was a lot of fun, although the recording levels made the film difficult to hear at times. Jess Weixler plays clean-cut teenager Dawn, a leading light in her school's Promise-Keepers movement, regularly urging her fellow students not to have sex until they're married. However, when her new crush attempts to date rape her, Dawn discovers that she has sharp teeth in her vagina and she's driven to a spot of self-exploration and self-discovery. (No prizes for guessing what happens when she goes to the gynaecologist). Meanwhile, her ne'er-do-well half-brother Brad (John Hensley from "Nip/Tuck", playing an equally fucked-up character) is dealing with his own issues, following a traumatic 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' incident with Dawn when they were young. "Teeth" reminded me a lot of "Ginger Snaps", because both are teen horror pics that use physical anomalies (werewolves / vaginal teeth) as metaphors for emerging womanhood / puberty etc, plus the leads in both films get gradually, almost imperceptibly hotter on a scene-by-scene basis until they're drop-dead gorgeous by the end. It's also very, very funny in places and much credit is due to the production's special effects team, particularly in regard to the...um...prosthetics. There are also nods to Cronenberg and various high school movies and if the audience reaction was anything to go by (alternate and sometimes simultaneous bouts of cheers -the girls-, winces -the boys-, laughs, shrieks and "Ewwww!"s), this should be a big word-of-mouth hit. Four stars.

Sounds like a good day! I'm really looking forward to Stardust. I might even check out Teeth too, based on your review, but I think Crazy Love may be a step too far for me...

Determination is "overcoming obstacles in order to reach my goal."
Determination is like climbing a mountain. You have to know what you want to achieve, then put one foot in front of the other until you reach the top.
You can "win" at school by concentrating in class, finishing your assignments, and doing your best in every subject. You can "win" at home by helping your family, doing your chores, and making good choices. It takes determination to win—but you can do it!

My grandmother on my father's side turns 95 years old today. She lives in California
This is, I think, a picture my father took of her yesterday. I swiped it from my brother's Facebook page.
This picture was taken I think 5 years ago, when she turned 90. I think she looks younger at 95!
My grandmother grew up in West Virginia and married when she was very young (still in her teens). She had four children, two of whom have already passed on. I honestly don't know how many grandchildren and great grandchildren she has. She may even have great-great grandchildren.
She and my grandfather, along with my father's two brothers and his sister, moved to California when I was six months old. I have only been to California once to see them, and that was when I was 12. When my grandfather was alive, they traveled back here several times. However, I have not seen my grandmother in person since about 1989, so I am sorry to say I don't know her as well as I would have liked, nor do I know all of my cousins.
My grandmother and I used to talk on the phone frequently, until she lost her hearing; now I send her cards and notes, though I never know if she gets them or if someone reads them to her at the nursing home. I hope so.
Anyway, I hope she has a special day. Not everyone reaches the age of 95.

Washington Hotline
A greeting from Kathi Kromer, associate executive director, ALA Washington Office
Since joining ALA's Washington Office in June, one of my top priorities has been learning from leaders of ALA divisions and investigating the relationships each one has with the Washington Office. I have been referring to my first months at ALA as my listening tour. It has been my time to gather information and input about what you care about—to collect the insights and ideas on a wide range of policy issues from ACRL and your peers.
While federal funding for libraries has risen to the fore in past months, there have been significant developments in federal policies that call for more attention:
Network neutrality: After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed rolling back rules to protect network neutrality in May, more than 10 million people and organizations—including ALA and ACRL —filed comments opposing the changes. We are watching and prepared to act if legislation results and leads to actions by the FCC.
Privacy: Bipartisan legislation to modernize the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 was introduced in the Senate (S.1657) in July. A similar House bill, though not as far-reaching, was overwhelmingly approved in February. Reconciling these bills will take time, but ALA and our coalition partners are pushing hard for adoption of this possible landmark legislation.
Government information: There may be a light at the end of the tunnel for nearly 20 years' worth of efforts to ensure taxpayers' fair access to federally funded research. In July, both House and Senate appropriators approved language to provide public access to Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports. This development, combined with the recent re-introduction of the bipartisan Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act in the House (H.R. 3427), gets us closer than ever to free sharing and public dissemination of CRS reports.
What I have discovered so far in my first three months at the helm of the Washington Office is this: ACRL members can offer valuable insight into how these and many other issues impact access to information and intellectual innovation in particular. While the Washington Office is here to amplify your voice on policy issues, we are only as effective as our members are engaged. Without a doubt, college and research librarians are well-positioned public leaders in communities across the country. The Washington Office is counting on ACRL members to lend your viewpoints and your influence as we shape future information policy.
I look forward to working with you on those changes, learning more from you, and suggesting ways for ACRL members to act in future Washington Hotline columns.

Updating Auburn running back Malik Miller's injury
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn freshman Malik Miller injured his ankle early in the A-Day game Saturday.
The early enrollee out of Madison Academy in Huntsville, Ala., was performing well in practices and drawing praise from coaches, but this wasn't the running back's first injury this spring. He injured his other ankle last week, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
"He did battle an ankle injury last week and I think he tweaked his other, but he's had a solid spring and it's been really good for him," Malzahn said. "A guy that should still be in high school is getting 15 days of spring practice and it's been good for him."
Miller will likely only see 14 days of practice. The Tigers close spring practices Tuesday with a light workout at the Auburn Athletics Complex.
Miller carried the ball three times for 11 yards in the scrimmage and was penalized for holding defensive end Carl Lawson Saturday before limping off the field with 7:19 remaining in the first quarter.
The freshman will compete against the favorite to win the job, Jovon Robinson, and junior Roc Thomas in August.
Miller was rated a three-star prospect out of high school, according to 247Sports.
"You see someone that loves the game," running backs coach Tim Horton said in March. "He's very coachable. He's got a lot of really good qualities about him. He's still real young, though. I said this before, he's a guy who should be getting ready for prom, not football practice. He needs to learn how to play with better pad level and he needs to learn how to protect the ball better, but he catches the ball well, he pass protects well, and he knows the offense really well for someone who has only been here for eight practices. We're real pleased with Malik and what the future holds for him."

So a friend tells me that on her campus (LSE), there's a men's rights activist group handing out literal 2000 word manifestos in 12-point Calibri out on "how to avoid feminism". Handy tips include:
- Only dating women who are "proven" anti-feminists, in the sense that they sign a statutory declaration
- Keeping 20000 (yes, 20000) pounds as a legal defense fund
- Hire a private investigator to make sure your partners don't make false rape accusations
- Don't pay your BBC license fee or your taxes, but do make sure you stand up for your rights as protected by the ECHR.
- Also, build trust with your (entirely theoretical) wife by making her signing strictly prenuptial agreements with, direct quote, "a view to keeping your wife honest".
A fine well-adjusted bunch who know lots about social interaction, I'm sure.
EDIT: Actually it's much (much much) longer than 2000 words, she just didn't take photos of the other pages. No idea what kind of other "build strongly family relationships by treating your wife the same as a potential fugitive slave" goodness will be on there.

Also apparently Theresa May is at the head of a vast feminist conspiracy and all these invasive national security and anti-terrorism related structures/powers/what-have-you are actually going to be turned against their real target soon: men.
That's ridiculous, so poorly thought out.
You'd need at least 25000 pounds.

Found this interesting. Colored women's rights is not something that ever gets brought up, and it is sad if true how it's basically something that's put on the back burner.

New FASB Revenue Recognition Standards May Affect 162(m) Bonus Plans
October 26, 2009
Compensation arrangements intended to comply with the requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code must have objective and pre-established performance goals. On September 23, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified new standards for recognizing revenue from bundled sales of products and services. Under the new standards, some companies may see significant increases in revenue in periods following adoption as compared to prior periods. Companies that maintain performance-based incentive compensation arrangements tied to revenue from bundled sales may wish to adjust the performance formulas under those arrangements for periods continuing, or beginning, after the accounting changes become effective. The attached memorandum discusses issues under Section 162(m) relating to such adjustments. It also contains a reminder about an unrelated Section 162(m) issue as to which action before year-end 2009 may be appropriate.

Now I love company and opening our home, but usually fear strikes as I worry and stress over if the house is clean enough, or what will I feed them and what will we do to entertain them. My son assured me that they did not care what the house looks like and any food will do!
If I am prepared for company, that is great, but recently I've received those calls, "Mom, can a few guys come over and play basketball?", while I'm out of the house and it is a quick answer - "OK, I'll be home soon". Those are the times anxiety hits and I feel unprepared. But, a little strategic planning can help erase those fears and fill my heart and home with a confidence to open up.
There is a blessing in opening our home and it is biblical to offer hospitality. I love it that these teenagers can come and enjoy a place to play and hang out. It is a great blessing to know my son's friends and to show them kindness and love through simple actions such as offering a snack, a drink or some small talk showing interest in their lives.
I came across an article on how to prepare for unexpected company: These don't necessarily deal with teenagers, as they are probably the easiest house guests to entertain, but for those like me who have this crazy need for order in the home before company comes, they are some handy tips.
Spray air fresheners all through the house, spraying fabric refresher on pillows and fabrics are a quick way to freshen up a room. Chopping lemons in the garbage disposal and simmering apples, oranges with cinnamon or cloves on the stove creates a natural and comforting atmosphere.

Today Warner Brothers released the music CD "The Essential Paul Simon" I have "The Essential Simon and Garfunkel" and "The Essential Bob Dylan" but this is the first "Essential" release of Paul Simon's solo music since 1972. I have already converted my Simon and Garfunkel collection from record vinyl to CD but had not done it with the solo work of Paul Simon. Quite frankly I did not like some of his work since the break up with Art Garfunkel. For example, his "Hearts and Bones" album. Therefore I was happy to see this release because it gave me a way to update to CD without buying a lot of stuff I don't like. The CD released today retailed for $19.99 but Target had an opening sale of $11.99. Today on the way to work I stopped by Target and got it. I have not listened to his latest album of "Surprise," so on the drive to work I listened to the song "Father And Daughter" and being the father of a daughter it bought tears to my eyes. A very nice song, one of his best. The 2 disc set has the following songs
Disk: 1
1. Mother and Child Reunion
2. Loves Me Like a Rock
3. Me and Julio Down by the School Yard
4. Duncan
5. Kodachrome
6. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
7. Slip Slidin' Away
8. Gone at Last
9. Something So Right
10. Late in the Evening
11. Hearts and Bones
12. Take Me to the Mardi Gras
13. That Was Your Mother
14. American Tune
15. Peace Like a River
16. Stranded in a Limousine
17. Train in the Distance
18. Late Great Johnny Ace
19. Still Crazy After All These Years
Disc: 2 1. Graceland
2. Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes
3. Boy in the Bubble
4. You Can Call Me Al
5. Under African Skies
6. Obvious Child
7. Born at the Right Time
8. Cool, Cool River
9. Spirit Voices
10. Adios Hermanos
11. Born in Puerto Rico
12. Quality
13. Darling Lorraine
14. Hurricane Eye
15. Father and Daughter
16. Outrageous
17. Wartime Prayers
The picture above is from a little known album that I bought in 1972 or 1973. It was an English import of an album Simon did while he was living in England in the early 1960's. He played in small coffee shops etc and made this album. Here is a summery someone else wrote about it.
After Simon & Garfunkel's debut failed to break through, Paul moved to the U.K. and released this solo album to even less fanfare. Then "Sounds of Silence" became a surprise smash in the U.S. and Simon returned home and gave Artie a call. Since S&G went on to re-cut all but one of these songs, this is a fine just-a-man-and-his-guitar LP .
I love the album and it's simplicity and hope to get it on CD some day. BTW, the girl on the cover was his girl friend at the time.

We are a team of 7 Landscape Architecture students from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry who are spending 6 weeks at Acadia National Park to update the inventory of their historic hiking trails. The mix of undergrad and grad students are Bill Elliot, Sarah Hoagland, Jessey Horvat, Vincent Ryan, Pamella Selby, Nicholas Shannon and Sara Reinstein.
On our drive from Syracuse to Bar Harbor, we stopped at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts and the Camden Amphitheatre National Historic Landmark in Camden, Maine. Visiting these historic sites made us even more excited to work on the historic hiking trails in Acadia.
The first week was full of introductions to the park, its history and the inventory we will be doing. We gained a deeper understanding of how the National Park Service works with public and private partnerships to preserve and protect places that tell important stories about natural and cultural history. Acadia has one of the best trails crew maintenance team in the country and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from them, as well as help them through our inventory project. The documentation of the trails will help preserve their historic integrity for future generations to come.
Our inventory work consists of checking the historic features along the trails (steps, walls, etc), adding new features and taking interval photos every 50 feet. This information will be used in the production of Acadia's Cultural Landscapes Inventory for their hiking trails. Our training as landscape architects helps us to make informed decisions about the human use of the trail and its interactions with the environment to further the parks mission of connecting citizens with the outdoors.
The beauty of this national park lies in the diversity of its natural features as well as the human use patterns that have shaped it into what we see today. We look forward to exploring more of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor over the next several weeks.

Eschatology: Postmillennialist
Christian Liberty: Fire me up a cigar and a cold beer and a nice warm Merlot with some gambling chips and a Blackjack table!
Apologetics: Van Tillian Presuppositionalist (kind of in between the Bahnsenian and Frameian stripes)
The Sabbath: Moderate Sabbatarian who believes that we should honor the Lord's Day, but every Christian needs to work out in their conscience issues associated with it
Have the gifts of tongues and prophecy ceased?: Yes (cessationist)
View of the general equity of the moral law of God: Non-theonomist in the stripe of Frame and Poythress (see The Shadow of Christ In the Law of Moses and Frame's articles on the subject, esp. his "The One, the Many, and Theonomy" in Theonomy: A Reformed Critique)
Justification and the Federal Vision: I reject the Federal Vision as heretical. I hold to the imputation of Christ's righteousness, including both His active and passive obedience.
Law and Gospel: I believe Law and Gospel are antithetical when it comes to our justification, but that they are united in our sanctification. Christ causes us to walk in His Law and transforms our hearts to obey it in our sanctification. Our union with Christ flows from our justification.
Counseling: I affirm that nouthetic counseling in the stripe of Jay Adams seems to be the most biblically-oriented manner to touch the soul and deal with the heart of the issues.
Days of Creation: Literal, 24-hour day six-day creationist; I reject Kline's Framework Hypothesis as damaging to the church, and other views as influenced by evolutionary thought
Corporate Worship: I hold to the regulative principle, while not being strict to the point of denial of instruments. It is important to distinguish between elements and circumstances of worship.
Exclusive Psalmody?: No. Hymns and songs that are non-Psalms are appropriate as well.
Redemptive-Historical Preaching?: No, I appreciate the Puritan way of application in sermons
Strict or moderate subscription to the Confession?: Moderate
Prophetic school of thought (partial preterist, idealist, historicist, or futurist?): Idealist
Proper subjects of baptism: Those who profess faith; rejection of infant baptism as unbiblical and unprovable
Nature of the Lord's Table: Calvinist suprasubstantiationist (I recommend Keith Mathison's excellent book Given For You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper)
Infralapsarian or Supralapsarian?: Infra, although I'm not sure if it really matters. Sometimes this seems to me to delve too deep into the mind of God.
Have I left any out??? :0D
Where do you stand, O Reformed readers?

Nice meme, buddy! I'll post on my own blog in a few days, and let's see how many you can kick off!
- Josh Brisby said...
Sounds good. Tag, you're it!
How about the degree of fellowship the Reformed should have with those who differ with us in major points of doctrine (e.g. Arminians and Pentecostals/Charismatics)? Thanks.
- Josh Brisby said...
I think that is very important. One thing I even recently realized was that the apostle Paul wrote the book of Romans to people he definitely considered brethren, yet who wondered if they should sin more that grace may abound (chapter 6) and didn't like the doctrine of predestination (chapter 9); yet, he still considered them his brothers.
I think the degree of fellowship is important. I consider evangelical Arminians my brothers and sisters. Obviously I don't have as much fellowship with them as with my fellow Reformed Baptists, even as I don't have as much fellowship with Reformed Presbyterians as I do with my fellow Reformed Baptists--but I consider them all my brothers because we are united in the gospel of our Lord and Savior.
- RubeRad said...
OK dude, I finally got a round tuit.
You left out paedocommunion and 4/5-pointiness. And your decisiveness on baptism doesn't belies your recent almost conversion, after which you remained Baptist "by default". What's up with that?
- RubeRad said...
oopx, strike that "doesn't"...
- RubeRad said...
I also added Church Government (Presbyterian) and Women in Leadership (anything a non-ordained man can do)
So, I am a heretic, huh, bro? Can I even call you "bro"?
- ron smith said...
I encourage you to pick up Piper's latest work in response to Wright. He has a rather "new perspective" himself in that manages to disagree with Wright without condemning him as a heretic.
- Josh Brisby said...
I didn't say you were a heretic.
:0) I did say the tenets of the FV were heretical. :0)
If someone believes that "faith alone" really means "faithfulness alone," or "obedience alone" and does not distinguish between faith and works, as the apostle does, then yes, that is heretical. Ron, what do you make of Norman Shepherd's statement from his 1974 class syllabus: "justification presupposes faith; faith is not the ground of justification; faith is the instrument of justification. justification presupposes good works; good works are not the ground of justification; good works are the instrument of justification." What do you make of that statement?
Also, he claimed that "both [faith and good works] can be [the] instrument [of justification]." What do you make of that statement? Please tell me clearly so I can understand you fairly.
I am deeply concerned when I see many who start out dabbling in the FV end up in Rome or Eastern Orthodoxy. I would truly appreciate hearing your thoughts on this and the above statements from Shepherd.
The only reason I mentioned that infant baptism was "unbiblical" was in the sense that I can't find it in Scripture. Of course there are many godly men who think otherwise. :0)
- Josh Brisby said...
Oh yeah, I also don't consider anything less than 5-pt Calvinism Reformed; nor do I consider paedocommunion a legitimate Reformed option, since all of the Reformed Confessions reject it. :0)
- ron smith said...
I hold to the tenets of FV, which you have said to be heretical, thus, I am a heretic in your view. Of course, many tenets of the FV can be found in Lutheran, Anglican, and Wesleyan dogma as well. Are they all heretics too? Even if I deny Sola Fide, does that mean I can't be justified by faith alone? Can an arminian be elect? You note above that there were some arminians in Rome that Paul addresses as brothers. There were some legalists too.
But I don't deny Sola Fide. I affirm that the righteousness of Christ is the grounds of the believer's justification. Faith is the instrument that unites us to Christ and His righteousness; but not dead, demonic faith, rather faith that worketh in love. Just like when Peter says, "Baptism now saves", he means that God saves us with baptism as an instrument (means of grace), so James means that works justify in the sense that only faith that works is justifying faith. This is all the FV is saying on positional justification (there is some disagreement on a future justification). Read the paper. I can't speak for Shepherd, but I would guess he means something similar. Anyway, Shepherd ain't the FV. Again, read the paper. Do you see Shepherd's signature? Wright's? No, you do not. They may hold to some of the FV tenets, but that doesn't make them FV; just like holding to the 5 doctrines of grace doesn't exactly make one a Calvinist or reformed.
Sorry if this sounds shrill, bro, (can I call you "bro"?), but I am tired of the charge of heresy being lobbed at the FV when they are more in line with historical reformed orthodoxy than the bapterians that make up the majority of reformed denominations these days. At best, it simply confuses the issues for the unlearned and further divides Christ's Church, and at worst it violates the 9th commandment.
On the alleged FV road to Rome. 1) FV is closer than bapterianism to the folks that left Rome in the first place. 2) Who are these people? I keep hearing about the mass exodus from FV to RC, but I only know a couple examples. Proportionately, I bet more Baptists than FVs have left Protestantism. By TR logic, that proves the road to Rome is paved with Baptist theology. 3) If more Presbyterian churches were FV, less of their congregants would go pope. I'm not saying I would convert if I was left wondering in the wilderness of low church, amil, anti-theonomic, gnostic, baptistic, determinist reformedom, and no TC (truly covenantal) church within driving distance, but it would be difficult. I thank God for NLPCA where my kids get washed and fed for eternal life.
- RubeRad said...
"Ron, what do you make of Norman Shepherd's statement..."
I'd say he has demonstrated that he generally agrees with it. (Now I need to scroll down and read what Ron has to say)
- RubeRad said...
"Are they all heretics too?"
There are heresies, and there are errors. (You and I would agree that Josh is in error concerning baptism.) And even for heresy there is I think a distinction to be made; the Vatican is full of heretics, but Catholic churches are full of plenty of victims who are in error because of the heresy of their leaders. Ignorance is bliss.
- RubeRad said...
But I don't deny Sola Fide.
You just chose to name your blog Sola Fidelity. How is that not a conflation of Faith and Faithfulness?
- Josh Brisby said...
I have yet to hear an FV advocate exposit what the WCF means when it says "receiving and resting." The Reformers went out of their way to be painstakingly clear when they said we were justified by faith alone, but not a faith that is alone. But when they say that, they mean something entirely different from what you and the FV are saying. You see faith and works as identical; the Reformers saw them as antithetical. "The Law is not based on faith."
You are equating faith = obedience, so to you it is also the same as "we are justified by obedience alone." Do I have a problem with that? You bet I do! Ron, you are indeed messing with the very essence of the gospel itself. It grieves me to say so.
"You see faith and works as identical; the Reformers saw them as antithetical."
1) Neither I nor the FV see faith and works as identical. Please substantiate this false claim. Maybe you can find something in the paper.
2) Please substantiate the claim that the reformers saw faith and works as antithetical. On the Law of God, the WCF states that our faith in Christ strengthens our obligation to the Law and that the Law sweetly complies with the Gospel. Calvin states that Pauls "disparaging" comments with regard to the Law have not to do with the Law itself, but with the Judaizers' "perverse zeal for legal ceremony". That's also what NT Wright says, by the way. The Westminster assembly cites James 2 as proof text that justifying faith is "no dead faith" in the chapter on justification! So the modern silliness about James' usage of the word "justification" differing from Paul's is not confessional. Let's see, what else... Oh, the WCF calls "repentance unto life" a "saving grace", so if I say "we are saved by grace through repentance", that is confessional. And if you really think about it, unbelief is sin, so faith is a class of repentance and a work of obedience (but again, not identical to obedience).
Oh, and here is Wilson on "receiving and resting".
This is the stuff that really frustrates me, bro (again, can I call you "bro"?). You are making false claims about brothers in Christ.
- Josh Brisby said...
(1) What do you mean when you say you don't see faith and works as identical? You say you don't see them as antithetical, so I don't understand.
(2) The historic Reformed and confessional view sees faith and works as antithetical *with regards to justification* and identical *with regards to sanctification.*
(3) Please substantiate the claim that Calvin saw Paul's disparaging claims about the Law as merely having to do with "legal ceremony." I would truly be surprised if he said that. But if he did, he sounds more New Perspective, and I would certainly disagree with him here, even as John Frame has in his article on Law and Gospel.
(4) I read Wilson on the link you gave. I appreciated much of the article. I wasn't surprised though, because Wilson is the most orthodox out of all the FV guys (he affirms the imputation of the active obedience of Christ).
(5) I also am currently reading Piper's book on N.T. Wright. To be sure, Piper does not anathematize Wright, but he does say that Wright's view of the gospel is distorted and leaves confusion and no good news.
(6) At the very least, my thoughts on the FV are that it leaves no good news. At the worst, my thoughts are that it is a halfway house to Rome.
- Josh Brisby said...
I also read the paper/stmt the FV guys recently wrote. Honestly, there are several areas where I have problems. I may do a few blog entries on it. Especially troubling to me was how they said that "union with Christ [for the apostate] was not MERELY external." Then in what way would they say the apostate had union with Christ??? This smacks of Arminianism galore.
"This smacks of Arminianism galore."
Maybe (but then, Calvin was an Arminian), but not heresy. They are still brothers.
Anyway, do you plan to substantiate the claims I asked you to, or retract them?
- Josh Brisby said...
I would be happy to substantiate my claims, but I have a feeling you may be defining things differently than me. I need you to do what I asked and tell me what you meant in the above. Beyond that, I also need you to substantiate the claim that Calvin saw works of the law the same way the NPP does.
- Josh Brisby said...
Also, although Shepherd hasn't aligned himself with the FV, the FV draws deeply upon Shepherd's thought and is much in line with it. Even the very quote I had from Shepherd showed that faith and works were identical in his thought. The title of your blog "Sola Fidelity" further proves it.
But, please answer my (1) and (2) and (3) in my above comments, so I can understand how to best answer you.
- RubeRad said...
As evidenced in his commentary on Rom 3:21, Calvin does not agree with NPP on "works of the law". I love this bit:
"Some confine it [law] to ceremonies; but this view I shall presently show to be unsound and frigid."
And neither does justification have anything to do with the good works that flow from our sanctification:
"...even those which the Lord produces in his own people, is evident from the context. For no doubt Abraham was regenerated and led by the Spirit of God at the time when he denied that he was justified by works. Hence he excluded from man's justification not only works morally good, as they commonly call them, and such as are done by the impulse of nature, but also all those which even the faithful can perform."
"From these words, the Apostle took occasion to institute a comparison between the Law and the Gospel, calling the one a doctrine of the letter, the other a doctrine of the spirit; describing the one as formed on tables of stone, the other on tables of the heart; the one the preaching of death, the other of life; the one of condemnation, the other of justification; the one made void, the other permanent, (2 Cor. 3: 5, 6.) The object of the Apostle being to explain the meaning of the Prophet, the worlds of the one furnish us with the means of ascertaining what was understood by both. And yet there is some difference between them. For the Apostle speaks of the Law more disparagingly than the Prophet. This he does not simply in respect of the Law itself, but because there were some false zealots of the Law who, by a perverse zeal for ceremonies, obscured the clearness of the Gospel, he treats of the nature of the Law with reference to their error and foolish affection. It will, therefore, be proper to attend to this peculiarity in Paul." ~ John Calvin; Institutes of Christian Religion, 2.11.7, emphasis mine
"What do you mean when you say you don't see faith and works as identical? You say you don't see them as antithetical, so I don't understand."
Just because two ideas are not identical, that doesn't mean they are antithetical. Faith is not identical to good works, but neither is it antithetical since good works flow from faith. Faith is antithetical to doubt, and good works are antithetical to sin.
I will keep working on your other questions, but I am really interested in what you think about the idea that faith is a class of obedience and that the WCF says that repentance unto life is a "saving grace" and then goes on to define repentance as turning from sin to obedience of God's Law. Is it therefore confessional to say, "We are saved by grace through turning from sin to obedience to God's Law?"
I think I have addressed all of your questions thus far, Josh. On Piper, I would just like to ask you if you could show the same Christian charity to NPP and FV brothers? Amillennialism distorts the gospel, but I still count them brothers. Paul tells the Galatians that they were "deserting Him who called [them] by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel" (1:6), and yet still calls them "brethren" (1:11). Hmm, if they had received a "different gospel", I wonder upon what basis Paul calls them "brethren"? It couldn't be simply because of the baptism, could it (3:27)?
These can drag on, so I'll give you the last word. I truly hope it includes something like, "I still consider you a brother in Christ, Ron."
- Josh Brisby said...
Could it have been because of their baptism? Not in the way you or the FV mean it. But, consider the fact that Paul anathematizes the TEACHERS of this false gospel, but he counts the laity who are being taught this as brethren. Ron, that is why I told you that I never said you were a heretic. But I DO (I want to make this very clear) I ABSOLUTELY DO CONSIDER THE TEACHERS OF THE FV AND NPP HERETICS. This is how the apostle viewed things in Galatians.
Besides that, it is not my duty to decide when the laity is in heresy or not. That is the responsibility of your elders at NLPCA.
Understand that I see the passages which speak of future judgment according to works to be vindicational; in other words, the works proved that we had already been justified and that we belong to the elect. This is why we have peace with God even now. This is why we are reconciled to God now.
Do I consider you a brother in Christ? Very simply, if you affirm that our right standing with God is because of Christ's righteousness ALONE, and NOT in any way whatsoever, without qualification, because of our works, now or at the future judgment, then yes, I consider you a brother. If you cannot affirm the above, then quite frankly, I am not so sure.
I hope that the above helps clear things up.
- Westminster Confession of Faith said...
Of the Last Judgment
I. God has appointed a day, wherein He will judge the world, in righteousness, by Jesus Christ, to whom all power and judgment is given of the Father. In which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged, but likewise all persons that have lived upon earth shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds; and to receive according to what they have done in the body, whether good or evil.*
II. The end of God's appointing this day is for the manifestation of the glory of His mercy, in the eternal salvation of the elect; and of His justice, in the damnation of the reprobate, who are wicked and disobedient. For then shall the righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fulness of joy and refreshing, which shall come from the presence of the Lord; but the wicked who know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast into eternal torments, and be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.
* It should be noted that while the assembly refrained from explicitly referring to this judgement as "justification", they cite as scripture proof Romans 2:16.
- Josh Brisby said...
Yes, and I take Ro 2:16 to be vindicatory. Again, the good works we do prove that we have already been justified. This is why the elect are surprised and say "When did we do these things?" on the last day. Our right standing is not *based upon* our works. Our works confirm that we had true faith. That is the WCF and London position, and that is the Scriptural position.

The only reason I mentioned that infant baptism was "unbiblical" was in the sense that I can't find it in Scripture. Of course there are many godly men who think otherwise. :0)"
As both Josh and I know, he admits he can't prove that baptism is only for those who profess faith. He also can't find his view in the Bible. So, his reason for not being a paedo should also be a reason against his being a credo and he should check "agnostic" in the box there.
- Josh Brisby said...
Ah, but as you and I know, my views are undergoing more development right now w/regards to the covenant towards a more traditional Reformed Baptist view. :0)But as for now, I refrain to speak. :0)
- bstallman said...
All I have to say is: Who drinks merlot warm? Perhaps that is the root of the theological errors seen in the comments relating to baptism etc?
- Josh Brisby said...
Pastor Tallman,
I've never heard of anyone drinking Merlot cold. But then again, the early church also never heard of baptism by sprinkling. :0)
Then you should refrain from judgment until you have a view. Since you haven't worked out your new system (devised to save your credobaptism :-), then your view is just as absent from the Bible as (you think) the paedo view is. The readers here should note that Josh is a Baptist even though he has no biblical basis for his position... as of yet. He is, he tells us, currently "finding" the data which will support his a priori position on the matter. :-O
Anyway, I leave it at that. Unlike EO, and the FV, this isn't a devisive issue. You can be, and are, very much a brother in Christ! :-D

List of minority grants provided by the government and other groups
- African American grants.
- Hispanic grants
- Black American grant
- Asian Minority grants
- Native American grants
- Disadvantaged group minority grant.
Every one of these grants has a big list following them. There are so many grants available under each of every minority grant listed above. Just check out the list on the internet and you will be amazed to see how much it has to offer you.
With free money surrounded you, why you have to let go your education. A degree is an important thing to have a good job in this economically distressed society. The government wants to lessen the number of jobs being outsourced to different countries. The government of U.S wants to give jobs to their own people, but many have fallen to meet this requirement. Hence, the government has taken this step to encourage their young Americans to pursue a career that would help them and the country. This approach has to be appreciated, since it is giving away free money to help build the educated society. It is important that every American to make use of it, if you are really out of school because of financial issues. Don't worry that you are of the minority group. Grants are free for all groups regardless of their race. All with financial need are welcome to apply for the grant.
The good news here is that almost all fit into the minority category in some way or the other. The point that I like to stress here is that, at some point students need some financial help during their adversity, and they many belong to any category. There is nothing to do with the type of group you are put-up, if you are financially stressed. This is an interesting fact which is hidden in these grants. Grant is basically free money. Probably you can divide the minority groups into two categories which include the Ethnic and the non-ethnic group. Ethnic grants are for those facing ethnic challenges. On the other hand, non-ethnic grants are for those who are physically challenged. It is good to know that physically challenged students are taken care well.
The most popular and well-known government grants are as follows, and these grants help the minority to a great level.
- Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
- Academic Competitiveness Grant
- National SMART Grant
Every one of these grants holds their own terms and constraint. It is good to know about them in detail before you apply for them. Each of them meets certain requirements. If you feel it meets yours, then go and apply it online or get the application from the concerned office. The Pell Grant is the best one students belonging to the minority group, and from the low-income household. Besides the government's grant programs, there are few good funding resources that you might not know. These are grants offered by individual sectors. They may belong to financial groups or the university itself, or reputed organizations. They are willing to spend millions of dollars to educate the society and help them pursue a career of their lifetime.
With so much of information available on the internet, you never have to go about searching for financial help. You have everything on the internet. Browse for the best grants in your place, and consider the one that can help you with your course type. If you are not able to choose between the grants, you can sort the help of a financial advisor who can help you look into the details and find the best fit for you.

The album version of 'Uncertain smile' was released on single in 1984, and that version even made the Dutch Top 40, peaking at no. 31. At that time, the original version was often played on a local radio station, causing me to search for this single for years. Obviously it had become very rare. But finally, in 1991, I succeeded: I found it during a record fair in Amsterdam.
My collection: 7" single no. 1518
Found: Record fair, Amsterdam, September 21, 1991
Cost: 10 guilders
Tracks: 'Uncertain smile' / 'Three orange kisses from Kazan'

An official from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development has called for inclusive participation in growing the country's economy.
Officiating during the Public Private Partnership (PPP) capacity building workshop in Gaborone on Wednesday, the deputy secretary development programmer Mr Boniface Mphetlhe said in 2000 government took a deliberate decision through the privatisation policy to facilitate sector participation in the economy.
Mr Mphetlhe mentioned that the idea of PPP was borne out of the desire to raise funding as well as to improve efficiency in the delivery of projects. This he said also included provision of a clear guidance to procuring public infrastructure and services.He said implementation of projects through traditional or conventional approach had not led to desired outputs in all cases.
He stated that as Botswana's economy developed over the years, projects became bigger and more complex, citing power and roads projects in response to the need to increase the power generating capacity and the increasing traffic volumes on the roads respectively.
"Other than complexity, such projects require alternative funding in the face of competing demands on the budget," he said.Mr Mphetlhe however stated that Botswana's journey to implement more projects and build capacity had not been a smooth one mainly due to the resource constraints that were experienced at the time of the financial crisis of 2008.

Callie has been watching her brothers play sports for the last 4 years and her time had finally come!! She was old enough to do Upward soccer with them and she was so excited!!! Their first practices were supposed to be last Thursday but got rained out, so tonight was her night! I didn't really know what to expect - she talks more about being a cheerleader or a ballerina, but when we asked if she wanted to play soccer this season, she was SO excited and definitely wanted to play! So we got her cleats and decided we'd see what would happen!
Is it just me or does she look older? :( She was very excited!
Her coach is super sweet - young, plenty of energy, very encouraging - just what Callie needs!!
The boys got in trouble and had to sit out for a while...I had an extra 2 year old with me (watching a child for a friend of mine) and wasn't going to put up with extra nonsense from boys that are old enough to know better!
Callie totally loved it! She did everything her coach told her to do, listened and followed directiosn...and had a LOT of fun! :) I was so proud of her! This should be a fun season!
It was a warm day - everyone had pink sweaty cheeks when we went home! Love that! :)

Leafing through some photographs on my phone with Mum yesterday, I was alerted to the arrival of an email. Normally, I wouldn't check while I'm with Mum, but I've been waiting for a response on a work matter so I looked. It was an invitation from my local building society to join their customer panel. I said as much to Mum.
"Custard panel?"
"No, Mum, customer panel," I knowingly corrected her despite not having a clue what it meant.
"Custard panel!" she laughed barely controllably.
It took me back to a day at junior school when my class was asked to write about our favourite food. Some chose cod and chips, others – the more exotic steak and chips (damn, that was sophisticated in the Walsall of the late 60s). Me? I chose custard. Quite what that said about me I don't know but I proudly declared my love of the yellow stuff to my classmates:
"Mummy calls me the custard king!"
They might have laughed with me, they might have laughed at me but laugh they did. I recounted the story to Mum yesterday. She laughed too. Again, I don't know the source of the laughter and I don't care. Perhaps, somewhere, she recalled my love of custard, how she would find an excuse to add custard to most puddings. I hope so. Anyway, it was a lovely, precious moment and I left with a warm glow, not unlike the sensation which followed eating a bowl of Mum's custard.
Will I join the building society's customer panel? Probably not. Am I still a fully-paid up member of the custard panel, I certainly am.

February 21 at 5:15 in the Estep: Humphries on the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot
|Photo of artist by Ken Crowder
Artistic historian to speak on 1921 Tulsa Race Riot
Ada — Artistic historian Eric Humphries will discuss his work on the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, in the Estep Multimedia Center at East Central University. The center is on the first floor of the Bill S. Cole University Center.
Humphries' work is on exhibit until March 18 in the Pogue Art Gallery in the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center. The gallery is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"All of my artwork is based on true events. They are atrocities that should never have happened and should never be allowed to happen again," Humphries said. "I hope that when you view my art, you are sobered by the realization that people really were harmed in the making of these paintings, even killed in many instances, and perhaps then we can all understand that if we remember, we are not condemned to repeat."
Humphries' work on the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot is based on extensive research, and the exhibition includes the photographs and documentary evidence that informed his paintings. He will discuss his research and his artwork in detail during his presentation at ECU.
