The Preaching of the Word.
The Diocese of Rhode Island
God hath committed unto you the word of reconciliation. You have been commissioned to make known the mystery of the gospel. It is an awful trust to be put into the hands of such frail creatures as we are. If our sufficiency were not of God; if He who gives us the charge, did not also inspire us with strength to perform it, we should resign it back to Him and ask to be employed in some less responsible work.
The subject of which I shall now speak to you is the preaching of the word. You need not to be reminded how important this spiritual agency was considered in the primitive church, and how the decline of preaching marked her gradual apostacy; until at last it came to be [3/4] regarded as derogatory to the dignity of the higher officers in the church, to engage at all in that work, which St. Paul declared to be his special and most important function.
The prevailing tone of the pulpit always indicates the religious character of the age. When Plato furnished the text, and Aristotle the method, when Seneca superseded the Evangelists, and the people slumbered through a droning essay on one of the prudential virtues; when a tedious metaphysical analysis spun its intricate web over the heads of dying sinners; when instead of the strong breathings of life, skeletons of chalky doctrine rattled in the pulpit, no wonder that the gates of Zion were desolate. Those were times, when nothing but the driest chaff flew from the clerical winnowing;
"The hungry sheep looked up and were not fed."
And there have been periods when the voice of the Christian preacher went forth as a living power, until the strongholds of error and corruption trembled and fell. God's spirit went with His word, and changed the face of the earth. It was the preaching of the cross,—of Christ and Him crucified, that startled the nations; and it proved the power of God unto salvation, because God blessed it. In those days of national conversion and national reformation, there were preachers more eminent and whose names will be remembered longer than any who now adorn the Church; but there is probably a wider distribution of ability in the pulpit and a more general dissemination of gospel truth at the present day than has been known in any preceding age. There never was [4/5] greater need of able, earnest and faithful preachers. We have to deal with a very different class of people from those who once gathered around the Christian pastor; we must address multitudes who study, think and reason for themselves, and whose opinions are in a great degree controlled by other agencies than the pulpit, even in matters of religion. In former days, the great majority of the people read nothing but their Bibles and the half-dozen well-worn volumes bequeathed with the household furniture; now the land is flooded with periodicals, pamphlets, popular treatises on every conceivable subject and advocating every imaginable theory.
Once, the people rarely came together in any public assembly, except when the Sabbath bell summoned them to worship, and the preacher was their oracle as well in other matters as in religion; now, the political caucus, the lyceum lecture, the reform convention, open perpetual sluices of speech, and infuse new elements into public sentiment and practice. Agencies of influence have come into being during our time, whose power is only beginning to be felt; it will not do to ignore them, it will not do to despise them, for they will prove potent for good or for evil. This general wakefulness of the popular mind is not to be deprecated by the Christian teacher; neither, if he have faith in his work, will he be disheartened by the array of antagonisms with which he must contend; but he must feel the necessity of being wakeful himself, and putting himself in condition to meet the peculiar demand of his own time.
The preacher of Religion has some special advantages over all other public speakers. One day in every week [5/6] the whirl and uproar of secular life is hushed, the banks, and offices, and counting rooms, and work-shops, are closed, the sound of the hammer is not heard in our streets, the wheels in the factory hang motionless, the farmer leaves his crops to the husbandry of nature, there are no stocks sold, no bargains made, no dividends collected; the great city where the waves of business have dashed so noisily all through the week, lies tranquil now like a sea at rest, and even the country, always still, seems on this hallowed day to brood with a kind of heavenly silence, as though the calm of God were there. The great multitude, "free from care, from labor free," gather in the house of prayer and reverently wait for the message which the preacher brings them; they listen silently and patiently, with much of traditional respect for the sacred office which we bear, acknowledging our divine commission, and knowing that it is our business to speak of matters which are of infinite, eternal concern to their souls. Woe to us, if we waste this choice opportunity in efforts to win for ourselves a golden reputation; woe to us, if through indolence, we neglect that careful preparation of mind and heart, without which we cannot hope to edify the congregation; woe to us, if we come before them with vain speculations, crude conceits and foolish fancies, or substitute anything in place of the authoritative and solemn message of God.
It is not all classes of truth, not all that man desires to know, not all which it is desirable he should know, that we are bound to preach; we are not called to edify the people with scientific knowledge, or dogmatize upon controverted questions of political and social reform; but [6/7] we have certain written instructions put into our hands by Him who has commissioned us, which define and limit our work; we are the servants of One whose word and will we are bound to obey; and our office is, not to express opinions, but to proclaim fixed, immutable, divinely authenticated truths. Necessity is laid upon us, yea, woe is unto us if we preach not the gospel.
We are charged, in the first place, to tell mankind what is their actual moral condition; to show what sin is, in what it consists, where is its seat in man, and the degree of his subjection to its power. The disease must be understood before it can be cured. They that be whole need not a physician; and they that imagine they are whole, whether they are sick or not, will not care for a physician. They must, in a measure, be made to understand themselves before they can understand the gospel of redemption. The primary difficulty that we encounter lies here,—those whom we address do not apprehend their need of the gospel. They will allow, in general, that they are not altogether what they should be, but they have no adequate conception of the deep seated virulence of sin and its terrible consequences. They do not take into account, their relation to God and His perfect law; they do not consider whereunto their sin, if it be let alone, will certainly grow, and that every step that is not taken towards Heaven leads away from Heaven. They say they are as good as their neighbors, and the world brings no charge against them. They expect to be as well off in another state of existence as they are in this; and whatever reform is needed, they believe themselves entirely competent to effect; by such [7/8] modes and at such times as they may deem most expedient. Consequently they regard the work of Christ as superfluous, and His church as unnecessary, except for its salutary, social influences. Therefore we must begin with exposing the profound deceit of the natural heart, laying bare its inherent corruption, revealing its falsity and its feebleness, so that man may be driven to seek help from One who is able to save.
The next great truth that we must preach is the fact of redemption. We are to show who it is by whom this redemption has been effected, His eternal relation to the Godhead, His assumption of our humanity, the various offices involved in His incarnation, prophetical, priestly, regal, judicial and mediatorial. We are to tell the people how He has redeemed them, by what sacrifices, toils and agonies. We must often take them to Calvary and sit down together under the shadow of the cross to meditate upon what Jesus hath done for us, to consider what it was that laid the awful necessity of death upon His innocent head, and what we are doing to show our thankfulness for His atoning love. Our feet must often lead us to the garden where the body of Jesus was lain, that we may there remind the people, how they must be buried with Christ if they would hope to rise with Him.
Into the philosophy of the atonement, it is not necessary for us to enter; it is enough for us to teach that "God hath made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin," that "He hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all, that by His stripes we might be healed." We bow with reverence before the awful mystery of redemption, with [8/9] no desire to be wise above what is written. We are assured that "without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin," that "there is no other name under Heaven whereby we can be saved" but the name of Jesus, and therefore we look to Him as our light and our life.
"Christ and His cross are all our theme."
We are next to show how this redemption becomes available to the sinner. He is not to work out for himself a title to Heaven, he has neither the will nor the power to do it. His own arm can never bring salvation, his own righteousness cannot sustain him. He must be baptized for the remission of sins; he must repent and believe in order that this remission may become available to his salvation. By a living faith, he must be united to Christ, and Christ dwelling in him and he in Christ, he enters into life. It will therefore be an important element in our teaching to illustrate the nature of saving faith, its vital relation to our justification, and the practical evidence of its existence.
In intimate and indissoluble connection with this we are to exhibit the character of that great, moral change, which makes the sinner fit for the inheritance of the saints. We are to teach that this is not a mere change of relation, a passage from the world into the Church; not a mere change of habit and outward demeanor; not a mere change of opinion, but an actual transformation of character, a revolution in the ruling principles of life, a renewal of the heart wrought by the power of God. And instead of waiting until mature age before expecting to see the fruits of such a renewal, we would endeavor to bring up the children of our charge in the nurture [9/10] and admonition of the Lord, so that the first movements of their young hearts may be towards God, and their baptismal vow direct their feelings and their conduct. We would save them, if possible, from the experience of sin; open to them the gate of life as soon as they enter upon their pilgrimage, and so lead them quietly along the green pastures and the still waters up to heaven. While we should never forget that the blood of Christ is able to save the most abandoned sinner, and can wash the soul crimsoned with corruption, white as snow, still our best hopes will centre in those little ones whom the Saviour once took in His arms and said, "of such is the kingdom of heaven."
The topics of pulpit discourse are in one sense fixed and limited; in another sense they open to us an infinite variety. With only seven primary colors, what endless combinations are made; from an octave of sounds, what complicated harmonies are evolved. That preacher poorly understands the breadth of the gospel, who finds himself restricted to a little round of thread-bare subjects; grinding out his dozen tunes, and then re-adjusting the instrument to grind them over again, as though that exhausted the music of redemption. The preacher should be all the time charged with subjects, instead of hunting painfully for them week by week, as new sermons are demanded. They should come to him spontaneously, as he reads the bible, as he kneels in prayer, as he goes about among the people; they should be suggested by what he sees and hears in his daily walks: only let him keep his mind always open for them to enter and they will come without being urged.
[11] The topics which thus lodge themselves in the mind will be specific, and adapted to the condition of those whom we address. Without this adaptation, the most profound and eloquent discourse is wasted. We may preach about sin in the abstract, whether it be original, imputed, or actual, with as much severity as the nature of language will allow, nobody will be roused, nobody offended; but touch the particular sins of which the congregation know themselves to be guilty, and it begins to look as though we were in earnest, as though our words meant something.
And here I would remark that every discourse should have some distinct subject, and one is generally enough. It is fatal to that unity of impression, which it is so desirable to secure, when several heads are crowded into a sermon, each of which contains a distinct and separate train of thought; and it is very painful to the hearer, after he has followed the preacher, perhaps not without considerable effort, for some eight or ten minutes, trusting that he will come out into daylight somewhere, to find him suddenly striking off in another direction, where the darkness is thicker than it was before. One trunk is enough for a tree, and one subject for a sermon, it may throw out as many branches as it can safely sustain and effloresce into as many flowers as the sap can nourish, but when other props become needful, it is better to use the pruning knife and cut in the wood.
Once at least, in the course of our ministry, it is well to give the people a systematic course of sermons, embodying the leading doctrines of the gospel, the principles and usages of our Church, and the fundamental ethics of [11/12] Christianity. In respect of all these points there is a singular vagueness, if not absolute ignorance in the public mind. The technical phraseology of the pulpit conveys to many of our auditors no accurate and intelligent meaning. There are some persons accustomed to measure the soundness of a preacher by the frequency with which he uses certain conventional terms, who would be sadly puzzled if they were called to explain those terms. Our congregations everywhere need more careful and minute instruction; exhortations, appeals to the sensibilities, these are needful, but they are not all that is needful. The galvanic shock may quicken the torpid body into life, but galvanism will not sustain life, there is no nourishment in it.
When the sinner has resolved to serve God, it is our duty to tell him what it is to serve God. We should show him how his religion is meant to affect his daily life, his domestic and civil relations, his physical habits, his amusements, his secular business. We must enter into homely details, deal in a larger range of particulars, if we would have stable, symmetrical, practical Christians. "The divine," says Bishop Horne, "who spends all his time in study and contemplation on objects ever so sublime and glorious, while his people are uninstructed, acts the same part the eagle would do that should sit all day, staring at the sun while her young ones were starving in the nest."
The conscience of our people needs enlightening, for it would really seem as though certain Christians thought they could be honest towards God, and somewhat dishonest towards men. They use their religion as an [12/13] offset to their ordinary life, instead of making it the substance of that life. They may be very solemn, and yet not very trustworthy. You do not discern their faith in the quality of their secular work, in their bargainings, their punctual adherence to their promises, their magnanimous unselfishness, their sympathy with the depressed, their holy charity. O, if such a prophet as Jeremiah were to arise again, what a trumpet blast we should hear through the length and breadth of the land. I wonder how many pulpits he would be allowed to enter a second time. I wonder how many congregations would bear to be threshed with his flail. Brethren:—Read over again the words of the prophecy of Malachi, the last of the ancient prophets, read carefully, and see what is the style of preaching that we need.
In certain quarters there is great complaint of the dullness of the pulpit; the people say, "it is difficult to listen, we have heard the same things a hundred times before; we want something that will rouse our attention, stimulate our hearts and quicken our intellect; we are troubled with serious difficulties pertaining to doctrine, and we wish to have them solved; we are assailed on every side by plausible adversaries, we wish to know how we are to meet them; we are annoyed by perplexities and trials in our daily life, we look to our spiritual teacher for relief and guidance and strength; let him show in his preaching that he comprehends our perplexities, knows what are our peculiar temptations, and sympathizes in our infirmities; let us hear what have been his own inward experiences, let him speak to us out of his own consciousness and we cannot help listening; we do not [13/14] ask for coruscations of eloquence, we do not care to see how high the wings of his fancy can lift him into the air, and how gracefully he can alight again upon the solid earth; let him speak to us as a man in earnest speaks to his fellow man, and save us from the deadly corruption of our own souls."
Such a cry as this must not go unheeded, but let me say to you, my Brethren of the Laity, that the fault is not altogether on one side. If you would have your real wants more faithfully met, you must be more ready to let your pastor know what they are. You must be more free and candid with him, if you would have him more faithful with you. If you are plagued with doubts, you must not pretend to believe when you do not. If you are conscious of easily besetting sins, do not try to cover them over with a show of sanctity. If your feet stand in slippery places, do not pretend that you are planted on the eternal rock. If you are strangers to Christ, whether in the church or outside of it, acknowledge the fact, and ask to be guided to the cross. And do not require of your minister such a multiplicity of duties that he will be obliged to bring unbeaten oil into the sanctuary of the Lord. We are expected to preach too many sermons, and the quantity is secured at the expense of the quality. No young man, just starting in the ministry, can turn out two or three new discourses every week without soon exhausting his material. If our congregations would be content with one written, carefully digested sermon on Sunday, and be satisfied with plain, ex-tempore, catechetical instructions, or some familiar exposition of Scripture, or oven with hearing a well [14/15] selected discourse read by the minister, at the other services; in the end they would be better informed and edified than they now are. The whole duty of the Clergy does not consist in preaching; neither does the whole religious duty of the Laity consist in hearing. And remember, that it is not the words which enter the ear and then die away in the chambers of the brain, that do you good; but the truth which you mark, learn and inwardly digest.
One of the temptations incidental to the pressure under which the Clergy labor in their frequent preparations for the pulpit, is that of habitually constructing their sermons upon the frame-work of skeletons, furnished by another. We have volume upon volume of these dried preparations,—a hortus siccus of theology,—and it may be a great saving of time to fill in the interstices of these outlines with our own observations, instead of making the whole structure for ourselves; but it is an economy of labor that must be purchased at the sacrifice of the freshness, reality and life of our discourses.
The first rough sketch of the artist' shows his genius more than the warm tints that flow from the finished work, it is the general design rather than the details which embody his thoughts, and no true painter would be content just to fill in the shading and coloring of an outline drawn by another's hand. The conventional, artificial moulding of our sermons after any fixed pattern must be broken up if we would secure the attention of the hearers. If all classes of subjects are treated after one unvarying method, run in one mould, so that as soon as the text is named the congregation can tell just how [15/16] many divisions may be expected, and very nearly what they will be, even the most devout will be likely to hear the final and concluding head announced with something more than resignation.
And if it is a bad habit to rely upon the laborious ingenuity of others for the plans of our discourses, it is still worse to become servile imitators of style. As we must speak in our natural tone in order to speak effectively, so every man has a mode of expression peculiar to himself, the natural drapery of his own thoughts, which it is always best to use. And it is well for us to remember that ordinary thoughts cannot be made to seem great, merely by being clothed in magniloquent periods. Without intending to imitate any particular individual, we may conform so rigidly to a sort of general cast-iron, pulpit model, as seriously to impair the vigor of our preaching. The weary circumlocutions by which some speakers avoid calling things by their plain names; the elaborate, stilted sentences in which every idea is rigidly encased; the long sweep with which they always turn the corners of their discourse; their chronic dread of abruptness, or directness, or any thing like colloquial, familiar speech; the constant sacrifices which they make to dignity and calm sobriety; uttering stale platitudes with stately and solemn pomp; this was not their way, whose preaching converted the world. The Reformers did not revolutionize Christendom by preaching in this fashion; the early confessors and martyrs did not shake the marble temples of paganism by the thunder of high-sounding periods, neither did the [16/17] Apostles shatter the strongholds of sin and corruption by elaborate rhetoric. What could be more simple, colloquial and direct than the words of Him who spake as never man spake? Every sentence he uttered went straight as an arrow to its mark; the homely experiences of the people whom he addressed suggested almost all His illustrations; the parables are a gallery of pictures; every thing is distinct, definite, simple; no wonder the common people heard Him gladly, and they would hear us gladly, if we imitated Him.
One of the greatest defects in both the English and American pulpit is the want of an agreeable, natural and effective delivery. Many an excellent discourse falls short of the people, never reaches them, from a defect in the propelling, physical force of him who utters it.—Young preachers are sent forth from our seminaries of learning, well furnished with theologic lore, fitted out with excellent tools; but the trouble is, they do not know how to use them. Their hearts may be deeply enlisted in their work, they may be very anxious to win souls to Christ, but no one would suppose this to be the case from their manner in the pulpit. Thoughts which perhaps stirred them to tears when the truth flashed upon them while in the study, tinkle and fall like broken icicles from their lips. The tones of the voice are constrained, unearthly, unnatural—you can hardly believe it is the same person that you just before heard in private conversation. When he talked right on in the social circle and followed his impulses without thinking that he talked at all, he was never unintelligible, never monotonous, never emphasized the wrong word; but now that he has [17/18] mounted the pulpit, he emphasizes nothing, or which is perhaps rather worse, emphasizes everything; his intonations are untrue; he declaims, instead of talking, and his vociferousness is duller than his tameness.
It seems to be taken for granted that the gifts and graces of a good elocution must come if at all, by nature, and that patient training, unless there be a natural talent for speaking, will be useless. There is unquestionably a great difference in the quality of different voices, in the volume of sound, in the ease of articulation, and in the power of cadence; but careful assiduous culture may do much to remedy the greatest, natural defects, and there are few who, if they would be at the pains to do it, might not improve the quality and power of their delivery. The perfection of oratory lies in the strictest adherence to nature; but it would be no more absurd to say that he is the best painter who throws his colors upon the canvass at random, than it is to affirm that he will speak best, who takes the least pains. The truth is, we come back to nature, through long and laborious processes of art. Awkwardness is not simplicity.—And when we consider how much the multitude are moved by manner, what power there is in a true tone, and on the other hand, how the best discourse may prove to be only a somnolent, if it be droningly delivered, it is certainly worth while to give more prominence to this branch of ministerial training. But, after all, no system of rules, no mere study of the art of composition or of delivery, no amount of theological knowledge, no scientific skill in the use of that knowledge, can make a good preacher, unless his heart is in the work. He must [18/19] know whereof he affirms, if he would convince others. He must speak out of the depths of his own spiritual experience, or his words will never penetrate those whom he addresses. They may admire his logic, be enraptured by his eloquence, but they will not feel that there is a living power in his words, unless he utters what has worked as a living power in his own soul. It will not be the preaching which converts and sanctifies and builds up the believer in his most holy faith. A discourse may be perfectly symmetrical, full of thought, radiant with beauty, but if it be not penetrated with the life of the Spirit,—if Christ be not its informing, attracting, stimulating life, it is only a dead statue; the work of an artist. We must speak what the Holy Ghost teacheth, or God will not open the door of men's hearts to us. We must forget ourselves, in our message, and remember that it is God's message which we are commissioned to convey. We must remember that we are engaged in the most solemn and responsible work ever confided to man. Every time we preach, we should consider the awful fact that we must meet our hearers again at the judgment. If they perish through our unfaithfulness, their blood will be required at our hands.

Our Properties:
Shorenstein generates attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in properties in which value is temporarily impaired due to leasing, operating, physical, or capitalization issues and then re-positioning them so they have sustainable leasing advantages and a durable income stream by virtue of location, quality, amenities, and other features that distinguishes them in the marketplace. Shorenstein executes this strategy by combining sophisticated capital market and investment expertise with extensive asset management, leasing, operating, and construction capabilities.
Real estate is a cyclical business with its cycles determined, in large part, by capital flows. A sound investment strategy must recognize the importance of these cycles and requires a commitment to maintain pricing discipline when buying and a willingness and an ability to move quickly to sell when the value enhancement program has been completed and the capital markets are fully valuing asset and market fundamentals.
Shorenstein believes that leverage should be employed at a level that provides a meaningful enhancement to investment returns but not be so high that a fundamentally sound asset will be put at risk during periods when leasing markets soften or capital markets become constrained.
In selecting among investment opportunities, careful assessment must be made of the risk profile of the various alternatives. In commercial office buildings, risk comes in two basic forms: rental rate risk and vacancy risk, with the greatest investment risk coming from the substantial costs that are incurred as a result of vacancy. Shorenstein believes that both of these risks are best mitigated by investing in properties that will always be preferred business locations and appeal to a wide range of tenants, ensuring that there will be demand across cycles. These risks are then further mitigated by operating these properties with an unwavering focus on responsive and cost-effective service to tenants so that opportunities to expand and retain tenants on the most favorable terms are maximized.

Data & other APIs
What is the CitySDK Linked Open Data Distribution API?
The CitySDK Linked Open Data Distribution API is a linked data distribution platform. See the about page for more information.
What's the difference between CitySDK and other data catalogs and platforms (e.g. CKAN, Socrata)?
The main difference is that CitySDK creates links between objects in different datasets from different data sources. CitySDK stores data about objects that really exist in a city - e.g. bus stops, bridges, roads, neighborhoods and museums - and collects and links these datasets and APIs; available via one simple interface for both realtime and static data. See the about page, API specifiation or the examples in the map viewer for more information.
CitySDK is more than a data catalog. Data is stored in CitySDK itself, making it searchable, comparable and viewable.
Which datasets are available in CitySDK?
The CitySDK CMS lists all datasets, with a data example in JSON and our map viewer.
Can you add dataset X?
Yes, probably. Datasets need to be open and have a geolocation. You can send an email to CitySDK Support to request the addition of a dataset. You can also ask for a CitySDK account and add the dataset yourself using our CMS or API.
How does CitySDK manage the differences in data models between European cities?
CitySDK does not aim to create new standards. In using the platform, it is likely that new users will look to (emerging) standards that are currently in use.
How does CitySDK manage the quality of datasets?
It doesn't. In CitySDK, the quality of datasets is very visible, which should provoke quality management by the data owners themselves. CitySDK shows the source, owner and license of each dataset.
Does CitySDK comply with existing standards/standardization practices (INSPIRE/W3C/Forum Standaardisatie/...)?
Yes, although the level of compliance varies between domains and datasets.
Isn't building your own database a bit web 2.0?
CitySDK is not a database, it is a linked data distribution platform. CitySDK needs to store some parts of some datasets to make the data searchable, comparable and viewable. CitySDK stores static data, caches realtime APIs, provides a catalog of available datasets and links these together; all via one simple interface.
Is their a link with PDOK?
PDOK is a Dutch national distribution service for geospatial datasets, run exclusively by government and not (yet) directed at European interoperability. PDOK offers standardized access to various governmental datasets, all in different layers, but without creating links between those layers.
How does CitySDK scale?
CitySDK is a distributed system where each data owner (such as cities, provinces or countries) can run its own instance.
Maintenance, Support, Ownership
Who are the intended users of CitySDK?
CitySDK is a powerful tool for any organisation wanting to distribute open data in a useful and attractive format, so that easy re-use and feedback on data is possible. This can be helpful for governments or city councils. Who is responsible for which part of open data distribution depends on individual cases and policies.
Who maintains CitySDK?
Waag Society is running this instance of CitySDK.
What are the costs of CitySDK?
This depends on what you need. A minimum version would consist of costs for a server, bandwidth and support to keep the API running and give some assistance when importing datasets.
What are the revenues of CitySDK?
This also depends on the individual use case. When sharing datasets between departments in your organisation, quick efficiency wins are possible. When you want to interest developers in working with your data, it is important to offer a comprehensive set of related data.

This is something I have been pondering on for a while and there is some interesting studies, research and thought leadership on this subject. In our local community that is in fact the fastest growing in Australia, we have an interesting divide between the old and the new and, we are growing so rapidly and artificially that we are in danger of losing our identity if we do stop and reflect on the vision we have for our community, what it stands for and where it wants to go.
I had the pleasure of being a mentor for a recent enterprise project locally and last night the participants graduated. I was bursting with pride for having been a part of something grassroots and powerful, but at the same time I was looking on and reflecting on what I was seeing. This was community! We were all from different corners of the world, our accents were eclectic and there were a multitude of young children running around playing with each other and upstaging the proceedings at times. Yes, this is our community, Young, hopeful, inclusive, collaborative and full of dreams and ideas about how they could start a local business, make a difference and find their place and make a future for their family.

What I think this brought home to me was how important is our "need to belong" to feel "part of something" and to find our "sense of purpose." We were united in a sense of achievement, but, also, I think feeling that we were part of something special. I think this emulates true inclusion, cohesion and "Interculturalism involves moving beyond mere passive acceptance of a multicultural fact of multiple cultures effectively existing in a society and instead promotes dialogue and interaction between cultures."
Our world is in a state of flux at the moment and unfortunately, there are those that would seek to divide us and manipulate our bigotries and fears. This is sad and true and something we must stand up to and challenge if we are to truly thrive in brotherhood and sisterhood with one another. We cannot afford to keep thinking win-lose but win-win. It is in our DNA and what we most crave and if we are to evolve as humankind we must develop empathy for each other.
I was very uplifted by what I saw last night and I wish all those participants well with their enterprises and I know it has given me fuel to keep focusing on building collaboration and cohesion within our local community. We live local, work local, shop local and we love local! Will you join us on this journey?

Brian and I had an absolute blast doing our engagement photos with Brooke Christl Photography. If you are in the south, anywhere near myrtle beach S.C. I would recommend Brooke in a heartbeat. I can't wait for the day to take our wedding photos (which is in 7 months, 4 weeks, 0 days, and 23 hours—But who's counting).
Anyways, I read different tips and outfits you should wear for your engagement shots and got some great ideas. Honestly, I was pretty low key about the whole thing and just kind of did our own thing. I knew that Brian and I wanted them done near Murrells Inlet because its amazing there.
Before we got our photos done, I was kinda nervous. I mean if you think about it, we will have these pictures forever (O.M.G Pressure!). I got my hair done and did my make up as best that I could. Some people bring a lot of different outfits for their session but I only wore one. I really didn't want the stress of changing outfits. I put on my dress and was ready to go about an hour and a half before we were supposed to shoot. I started pacing the floor…back and forth..back and forth.. What else was there to do but pop open a bottle of champagne and have a glass (or three). I wanted to be relaxed and I was. Brooke did a really great job of making us feel comfortable as well.
We chose the hottest day of the year and of course I decided to wear a LBD. We had the PERFECT lighting. Dusk is my favorite part of day, so i'm really glad we got the timing perfect. I chose to wear black because you wouldn't be focusing on my outfit as much as you would Brian and I, plus its slimming. ( at least that's what I told myself). I think it's a great idea to meet your photographer before your wedding day, so you get to know them. It was a lot of smiling and looking at each other and kissing and goofiness. My cheeks hurt, but that's too different from when i'm spending time with my love.
After we got our photos done, we had a drink with Brooke at the Mullet Hut ( Best rum punches in the world), which is in murrells inlet on the marsh walk. For a Monday night, this place was hoppin! We all had the best time. After drinks, Brian and I had dinner at the spot where we went after we got engaged, Bubba's Love Shack. As soon as we walked in, the band started playing our favorite song and then the hostess sat us at a table that had the perfect view of a fireworks show that lit up the sky even better than the 4th of July. If thats not a sign then I don't know what is. It. was. awesome.
That was truly was one of those nights that will be planted in my memory forever.
Thanks so much to Brooke….Please check out her website—http://www.brookechristl.com. She is amazing!
Happy Hump Day!

With week three of the National Football League in the books, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves with a less than stellar record of 1-2 after two consecutive blowout losses. However, 49er fans should not press the panic button just yet.
Despite being thoroughly outplayed the past two Sundays, the 49ers' playoff chances are still alive.
Many problems have plagued the 49ers to begin the season, most notably, injuries. Standout wide receiver Michael Crabtree, one of quarterback Colin Kaepernick's favorite targets, is still sidelined due to a torn Achilles, and Mario Manningham is still recovering from a knee injury. Furthermore, tight end Vernon Davis was out for the Indianapolis game because of an injured hamstring.
Fortunately, most injuries nowadays are fixable with time. Crabtree and Manningham are expected to be back by the latter half of the season while Davis and Patrick Willis, who sustained a groin injury against the Colts, should be back within the next few weeks. When all four players make their anticipated returns, the 49ers will gain several veteran weapons to help on both sides of the ball.
The veteran leadership will help a team that has suffered from uncharacteristic penalties both on and off the playing field. In the past two weeks, the 49ers have committed 18 penalties that cost them 169 yards, a statistic that simply does not amount to winning football.
Along with these on-field blunders, the 49ers' star defensive end Aldon Smith finds himself in a world of hurt off the field. After Sunday's defeat, Smith announced that he will be taking a leave of absence after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Fortunately for the team, the defensive unit is stocked with reliable backups that have demonstrated their talent in the preseason and on special teams.
Along with injuries, the personal discipline issues can be combated through precise execution. The San Francisco squad is loaded with veteran talent and knowledgeable coaches that should be able to win the mental aspect of each game.
Despite the disastrous start to the season, the 49ers still have Jim Harbaugh, one of the great coaching minds in the game, Kaepernick, a quarterback that can torch the opposition with his arm and legs, and a physical defense that has the talent to shut down opposing offenses. The next three games will provide the 49ers with an opportunity to get back into the win column as they face only one team with a winning record.
Not even a quarter of the season has been completed yet, which is no time at all to write off the team that was one reception away from winning the Super Bowl last February.
Brendan Weber is a sophomore communication major and editor of the Sports section.

Standing on the Moon With Nothing Else to Do: Jesse Jarnow's Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America Reviewed
As fascinated as humanity is by drugs, and as much we desire them, we understand painfully little about them. Worse yet, we have no idea how to handle them as a society in a practical manner. Outside of The Netherlands and a few other countries, governments continue to let millions of people die from largely preventable drug overdoses rather than provide local health officials and users with drugs like Narcan to counteract overdoses. Drugs are a ghost in this country and much of the world. Everyone does drugs, only no one talks about it, at least not in IRL. And it's a problem.
A parallel could be drawn between the lack of useful drug education and the battle at the federal and local level over practical sex education and reproductive health, which is opposed by conservative and/or Christian politicians and community members who'd prefer an abstinence-only educational model over one that would prevent teen pregnancies. Despite having good intentions in the sense that they believe they are upholding Christian morality, their activism tends to be corrupted by big interests and their money. One can't help but notice the puritanical foundations of the country dovetailing nicely with big pharma in giving birth to Generation Adderall and other drug addictions that start in doctors' offices. After all, a cursory look at this country's history with drugs reveals one of the most misguided governmental campaigns of all time. Our justice system criminalizes addiction rather treating it as the illness it is, filling prisons with drug addicts in need of real treatment. Meanwhile, drug education efforts still focus on prevention, an educational approach that fails to provide any real real-world value. In analyzing the failure to establish comprehensive sex and drug education, the general line of reasoning against practical education plays on a fear that such an education would give a tacit seal of approval to students to engage in some far-fetched drug and sex orgy (while potentially excluding the 1% from profiting off of the black market for drugs as they do off of legal narcotics).
A big part of the reason for our failings regarding drug education is that we don't really have a way to intelligently and theoretically talk about what drugs really are and why we desire them. Scholarship on the history of drugs is rife with essential reads, but most books I've read gloss over the millions of drug users and how their lives are forever changed by their addiction, treating them instead as numbers within drug use and deaths statistics. Though such great reads as Whiteout by Alexander Cockburn and Strength of the Wolf by Douglas Valentine aren't cultural histories per se, they suffer from possessing any real curiosity about the the drug cultures they are historicizing, which are rife with absent stories that would otherwise help color in the broader historical outlines drawn by such 'big picture' historians. Additionally, these histories often lack any theoretical insight to add nuance to their top-down historical model as agency is granted to a few privileged players. It is against this staid backdrop that Jesse Jarnow, a hands-on and research-enamored journalist existing outside of the academy, represents an attractive alternative. The immersive methodology deployed in his most recent book, Heads, manages to get at certain broader abstract truths and uncover new historical details by allowing its subject matter to guide the author's research rather than lean on any predefined theoretical or scholarly agenda to set his lysergic line-up.
Cultural movements centered around sex, drugs, art, and other core human behaviors are just that: human behaviors in motion. Accordingly, such histories are inherently difficult to circumscribe within a particular geography, both material and metaphysical, as the narrative is advanced via desires and flights of whimsy expressed by us all. "Who are the main characters?" becomes a relative question to a degree, as often the same story will be lived countless times by innumerable individuals. Approaching such a daunting topic with the goal of achieving a histoire totale is a fool's errand (or often guided by a teleological metanarrative as seen in much of the work of the Annales School), but there is something to be said for at least attempting to account for some of the individuals accidentally or otherwise swept up into the vortex of a cultural movement.
Drug culture and its many subcultures permeate every single stratum of civilization and thus there are stories buried within every facet of American society. A drug and its user form an abusive relationship that touches on masochism, childhood trauma, feelings of insecurity, and so much more, shaped by the particular socio-economic conditions and other contextual variables. Whether or not Jesse Jarnow, author of Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, believes this or has any real opinion on the philosophical nature of drugs is unfortunately not on the agenda for this work. Inherently fluid histories, like that of America's history with psychedelics, could benefit from a theoretical toolbox of sorts, one that at least provides the author and the reader with some conceptual and semantic foundation upon which one can delve into psychedelics, head culture, and both of their roles within the greater American cultural underground.
While I am in no way condemning Heads for not pursuing deep truths about the nature of psychedelics and how they relate to the American pathos, he does create a bit of a semantic-conceptual hole for himself through the two words he places at the center of his history: "psychedelics" and "heads". Regarding the former, Jarnow appears to hew to Humphry Osmond's original psychiatric definition of the term "psychedelic," borrowed from the ancient Greek, as meaning "mind-manifesting," while demonstrating little desire to provide a twenty-first century update of the concept (instead pivoting the conversation towards the contemporary focus on "spirit-manifesting" entheogens without really adding anything to the discourse beyond surface-level narration). Regarding the term "heads," Jarnow first sticks to primary sources for meaning by pointing to a 1952 Time Magazine articles in a which an eighteen-year-old woman states that "everybody's a head now." While acknowledging both the word's general association with different classes of drug users and opening it up to refer to anyone traveling along the American psychedelic underground, Jarnow correctly asserts the polyphony of meaning attached to the term while seemingly excusing himself from nailing down the term's many semantic tentacles. Especially considering the fact that the word is no longer popularly associated with drug use, this could have been an interesting semantic area for Jarnow to have explored, tracing its evolution over time from being a stand-in for "druggie" to now referring to some enlightened breed of fanatic (I most often hear the term used as a sign of respect amongst music nerds.) But having wrote the book on indie rock with Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock, Jarnow can't help himself from locating the nexus of his story amongst the music makers and the weavers of dreams, which would be fine if he looked beyond one musical movement.
Much like his previous work, he inserts himself right in the middle of the action, writing from the perspective of someone who's spent his fair share of time wandering around the various lots and shakedown streets of modern festival culture in a gooball-induced fog, which goes some way to providing Heads with a hipsterfied take on Gonzo journalism. Jarnow gets us close enough to the action for his history to feel "authentic" in its interviews of many former acid manufacturers and dealers. But as pretty much the entirety of his Jarnow's interview subjects are more or less retired from the acid trade and scene, he might have benefitted from embedding himself with a group of today's psychedelic merchants, such as wookies, a class of drug-inhaling nomads who Jarnow understandably, yet regrettably avoids. After all, these modern-day acid zombies are a fascinating echo of that first sheet of LSD to enter American culture at large. But for all of his traveling along the psychedelic underground in America with ample opportunity to uncover new territory for research, his work is undermined by Jarnow's rather traditionalist decision to locate the bulk of the story with The Grateful Dead's own cultural biography. From the book's first page to its last, Jarnow chains the "story" of psychedelics in America to The Grateful Dead's long-lasting vapor trails in such a way that for those coming for a book that takes in the full breadth of psychedelic America might be left wanting.
Jarnow begins his introduction by (correctly) entertaining the hypothesis that America has entered another psychedelic renaissance, a concept modeled by the Educational Psychology professor Thomas Roberts that manifests in four ways: medical neuroscientific, spiritual religious, intellectual artistic, and mind design. Seeing that the medical neuroscientific branch has been the only one to truly thrive in the twenty-first century, with the other three each evolving at a fine clip, Jarnow looks back to when such a renaissance first became possible following the escape of chemically-engineered psychedelics from government-controlled laboratories in the 1950s. In doing so, Jarnow reasons that "if one wants to learn how psychedelics might change American society, it is only necessary to study the second half of the twentieth century how they already have." The other half of Jarnow's "fun exercise" comes in "set[ting] forth on a local anthropological expedition" to seek out followers of the Dead, the country's "largest psychedelic cult."
For Jarnow, the Grateful Dead are the embodiment of the American Psychedelic underground and to a great extent, there's a deal of truth in this hypothesis. After all, for a large section of American psychedelic-using population, the Dead are presented as the band to listen to on acid, the modern shaman of the 60s and onward guiding generation after generation of psychedelic traveler to lands hitherto unknown. They created the soundtrack to an endless number of acid trips and helped to guide this nascent culture from its beatnik and early hippy roots into a full-blown industry. From a research standpoint, the band is a perfect nexus point through which to explore especially the glory years of the psychedelic renaissance stretching from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, and not just for rhetorical purposes.
One of the principal beliefs amongst its proponents is that LSD and other psychedelics have the power to "turn on" individuals to whole new modes of thinking and being and open their mind's eye to the interconnected nature of humanity. However, as Jarnow notes, the psychedelic "old guard" of Aldous Huxley and Colonel Al Hubbard had "the cream of society" in their cross hairs, hoping to dose the decision makers and thought leaders of the time and improve the whole of humanity in the process, from the top down. Like many ancient societies before them that used substances like peyote in sacred ceremonies, they represented the belief that only a select section of the populace could likely handle such an experience. An affinity of sorts can be found in the CIA's Project MKUltra in which agents dosed a select group of unwitting test subjects--one of many significant events in the history of Psychedelic America that Jarnow pays little mind to, though Valentine's Wolf does. What both instances demonstrate was that LSD-25 was never intended for the masses. But once Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey, and the Merry Pranksters took their acid evangelist show on the road, Schrödinger's Cat was out of the bag as people now could access a hitherto unreachable logic that could comprehend the synchronous and diachronous natures of time, often at the same time (it's a hell of a drug, man). Thus, in Jarnow's narrative, the Dead became the populist torchbearers for a formerly esoteric culture, wielding a considerable amount of aesthetic influence on the emerging psychedelic culture in America. And as Jarnow shows, the Dead served as the primary conduit through which the underground LSD trade traveled. After all, Owsley Stanley AKA Bear, one of the fathers of the acid movement, was an early investor in the dead Dead, becoming their patron and sound man alongside many of the key players of the early Acid Test, including Ken Kesey
But as the author himself notes, this is a story largely featuring and told by middle-class white men and while the author cites a twenty-year old statistic as proof that black people don't consume psychedelics in nearly the same volume, or really at all, the question of their absence from so many black communities, alongside the question of why some people do get into them, is an unfortunate story Jarnow decides not to tell. This is especially frustrating as he does touch on the racially diverse and LSD-fueled disco scene of NYC in the 70s and 80s, but doesn't really give it the attention this paradigm shifting nightlife movement deserves, as discussed below. Even more contemporary examples in the contemporary rap world with artists like acid rappers Chance the Rapper, Flatbush Zombies and Denzel Curry espousing the creative spigot that LSD allows them to reach new creative heights are completely ignored by Jarnow. Nonetheless, for the bulk of the book he seems more inclined to talk to his own musical heroes and legendary drug bandits than really explore this oft-marginalized section of psychedelic America who didn't create the particular historical narrative he is telling but whose absence is just as important in painting the type of three-dimensional historical narrative that is generally lacking in our cultural understanding of drugs and psychedelics.
But before writing off Jarnow's work prematurely, let's dive into its merits. Jarnow locates pretty much the entirety of Heads' narrative within Humbead's Map, a cultural artifact from the time that reconfigures the world map. He does so along with the belief that, as E.D. Denson wrote in the Berkley BARB in 1968, "What's important is people, not distances, and now for the first time we have a map recognizing this." With the map as his guide, he embarks on his "ethnographic comic book history" where a handful of narrative strands lie for him to pick up and weave together a cogent narrative from story lines that always seem to connect with one another, no matter how impossible-seeming. The author diligently tracks his many subjects' scents, which include LSD chemists, Central Park residents, thought leaders of the psychedelic movement, members of the Dead's inner camps, and many other oddball characters. Such a wide-range of subjects is only natural when traveling through the cosmic vortex of the psychedelic black market, where it was, and still is, a matter of who you know and how you know them to get what you need. And in this case, Jarnow is fixing for some first-hand information about the psychedelic underground that, after a brisk trip through the time and space of Humbead's Map, he locates in the camp of the Grateful Dead and their widespread network of Heads.
The book opens up with the illustrative anecdote of Holy Modal Rounders' co-founder Peter Stampfel dropping peyote for the first time one afternoon in Greenwich Village. Soon after, we're moving forward at light speed as Jarnow spends a few pages running through the socio-cultural-historical background of the past fifty or sixty years that led to psychedelics going from ritual sacraments to something you could pick up at the Dollar Store in the West Village in the early 60s. In the book's first chapter, Jarnow succeeds at bringing his narrative to life as each densely-packed paragraph contains a thread that will extend through much of the book, each weaved together from a seemingly endless source of "heads" (which could refer to hop heads, meth heads, beatniks, etc.) and the network they established through cities frequented by psychedelic travelers (Berkley, San Francisco, the Village, etc., all of which are on Humbead's map). While Jarnow treats Humbead's map a bit like dogma, his guide to uncovering the scattered strands of psychedelic history as found in the locales on the map, often validating a certain location by virtue of it being on the map. It's here where one starts to wonder whether Jarnow isn't giving a little too literal reading of this cultural text. Nonetheless, this works admirably for the book's first part as Jarnow leaps from rainbow lilypad to lilypad in his quest to connect the disparate psychedelic nexus points that eventually lead him to Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters, the Acid Tests, and the band at the center of it all: The Grateful Dead.
Over the book's next few hundred pages, Jarnow's research into the far-reaching implications of the Dead's psychedelic culture on modern society becomes increasingly riveting before devolving into a rote retelling of a band's rise and fall, and the culture which mirrored that movement. Nonetheless, Jarnow clearly relishes diving headfirst into his subject matter as he puts forth one of the first histories that makes the argument, and provides the evidence, for the cultural acceleration that was enabled by LSD and a host of other drugs during this period and beyond. From charting back the rise of high fidelity concert taping through the stories of Marty Weinberg and Dick Latvala to the history of Renaissance Fairs (see Sunshine Daydream) being rooted in head culture to chronicling how the internet was born in part to facilitate the trading of information about the Dead, Jarnow is right to locate so much of his story within the camp of the Dead as they were the trendsetters of so many of the styles and practices within head culture. Looking at individuals like Mark McCloud, a blotter artist whose collection is scattered throughout this article; Chad Stickney or LSD-OM, the famed graffiti artist who spearheaded a whole generation of graffiti writers; and Sarah Matzar, a Mayan quilter who became an LSD chemist and plenty more, Jarnow sheds lights on these psychedelic warriors who would otherwise be passed over by history. It is through their direct and indirect connections to the Dead that Jarnow has shed a light on these intriguing individuals and in turn, he makes a strong case for centralizing so much of the American psychedelic narrative with a band. But when he begins delving into the business dealings of the Dead's personal record label, it becomes clear that Jarnow might be hear for the music, not the drugs.
As he moves in the 80s when the Dead were on hiatus, things start to get really strange, and not in a good way. For whatever reason, he chooses to largely ignore the single-greatest federal crackdown on drugs that came with Reagan's Drug War. It is during this period that Jarnow begins to start charting the Dead's influence over a whole new generation of noodling guitarists and middle-class kids tuning in and joining the circus, be it with the Dead or their Vermont-based kin, Phish. He regretfully segues into their birth via the story of Richard Wright's psychedelic discovery of his true name, Nancy Bitterbug Voodoo Coleslaw, during the then-student's time spent on the campus of Vermont's Goddard College, the school attended by his friends who would go on to become the band Phish. As Jarnow spends page after page detailing Nancy's gradual blossoming, one can't help but assume that this being 2016, he is going to draw some parallel between psychedelics and our changing perceptions of gender and sexuality. In fact, he's just showing off his bountiful jamband knowledge by providing the historical foundation for a famous bit of Phish mythology. Unlike his detailing of the ripples of cultural change that emanated from the Dead's camp, his choosing to stay on tour rather than investigate the other psychedelic scenes he briefly mentions. For instance, while Jarnow acknowledges the psychedelic punchbowls of NYC's The Loft (founded by the recently deceased David Macuso) and the DJ Larry Levan's LSD-fueled Paradise Garage sets, he doesn't really account for these scenes' long-lasting reverberations in contemporary dance culture's relationship with drugs. Sure, he discusses Alexander Shulgin's monumental discovery of MDMA and draws a quick through line from the Dead to the legendary Furthur Festivals in Wisconisn headlined by the likes of Aphex Twin and a then-maskless Daft Punk, but seems far more concerned about how America's love affair with rave culture links up with the Dead's legacy than assessing it on its own merits. And this is just one glaring omission amongst many.
This frustrating pattern of briefly mentioning or totally ignoring the other psychedelic movements that began to emerge during the 80s and 90s reaches a boiling point in his accounting of the comedown for many of the original acid dealers and the Dead scene as a whole in the chapter entitled "The Tour from Hell." In it, Jarnow zooms past some of the 90s more fascinating psychedelic outposts--which jumps from Wired magazine and the philosophy of shareware to the rise of the Zippies and cyberdelia--and even cruises briskly through such fascinating acid busts as Operations Looking Glass and White Rabbit, disposing of the details in an apparent rush to get to the musical changing of the guards. By the time of Garcia's death in 1995, Jarnow is left with the far-less riveting story of the late 90s and 00s jam band scene, We do get a half-hearted account of the break-up of one of the last major acid manufacturing rings that took place in a silo and was run by LSD chemist Leonard Pickard alongside his questionable partner Gordon Todd Skinner, Jarnow meekly gives this wild tale a mere few paragraphs as he declares the details "riveting but irrelevant." How these details of one of the biggest acid bust of the past twenty years don't factor into the biography of psychedelic America is one of the many logical trapdoors that spring up due to Jarnow's fixation on the Dead over telling seemingly-essential histories that Jarnow assures us are outside of the scope this work. That the book's final chapter on the current resurgence in psychedelics is titled "Jerry Gets Hip Again" serves as a frustrating reminder that for Jarnow, there exists a direct equivalency between the Grateful Dead and the entirety of psychedelic-taking America. And it doesn't take a n00b to know that just ain't true.
And look, I wouldn't be this heated if Jarnow didn't make a respectable dent in a topic that tends to sit behind an opaque curtain of which most academics steer clear. Despite his choice to equate America's psychedelic biography with that of the extended network surrounding and cultural impact of The Grateful Dead (and their countless offspring), he still manages to write a partial page-turner for those readers fascinated by how psychedelic culture in America took on the form it did and the reasons behind the Dead's far-reaching influence on a new generation of heads who weren't, at first, looking for personal enlightenment, but got it in spades. Jarnow succeeds at clearly illustrating that what was so significant about the heads is that they represented the first breaking with millennia of tradition regarding psychedelics, transforming ritual into recreation. The author dives into the trade routes and practices of early LSD networkers to recreate the culturally dominant manifestation of psychedelic use as told by those orbiting around the Dead, the center of their universe. But he fails in providing a more conceptual take on what exactly defines a head and just what it is they represent, a discussion that would have made a far more interesting segue out of the Dead's glory days into Generation Phish. Despite this fundamental misstep, which does go a long way in undercutting the force of Jarnow's narrative, the book can still be considered a success in its willingness to travel along the country' psychedelic ley lines and see what new truths he can discover about the first psychedelic renaissance in this country. And it paves the way for smart asses like myself, who are also seeking to expand our practical and theoretical understanding of drugs, to pursue our own research into the cultural reverberations of drug use.
Nonetheless, drawing such a rigid parallel between the story of the Grateful Dead and the surge in psychedelics in 60s and 70s America leaves Jarnow stranded in the lot that Phish, the String Cheese Incident, the Disco Biscuits, and so many others came to fill. His mistake lies in is staying there with the jambands rather than seeking out the other ways LSD and similar drugs bore their way through other subcultures in the 80s, 90s, and today, making this a story largely about white, middle-class men.
Nonetheless, just as the first psychedelic renaissance's influence in still felt within our culture, Heads will almost assuredly become a touchstone in the literature on drug cultures and rightfully so. For while he never gets off the bus and thus to the off-beaten paths left unexplored, the roads he does travel he does so in a way to truly place the reader in that time and place, making for a book that is as rewarding as it is frustrating.

Many an impassioned and thought-provoking piece has been written about the recent #FeesMustFall social uprising.
This week I wanted to share with you a selection of posts about the recent #FeesMustFall protests taken from my social media feed, as well as some of my thoughts around this complex and layered issue.
Students and the youth of countries, including Apartheid South Africa, have historically been at the forefront of activism and social uprisings.
The initial media coverage and framing of the #FeesMustFall protests drew on racist depictions of black students (and Africans, if we look at early international news coverage) which served to trivialise the cause for which our students are fighting.
It has been encouraging to see figures from popular culture (political, academic, and media) begin to show their support for the #FeedMustFall protests, as well as urging fellow South Africans to support the students.
Once the media coverage began to construct universities as victims and not aggressors, it allowed the South African public to locate a major part of the problem and solution in government's quarters. A government who has revoked much-needed education funding.
The more students and South Africans fight amongst themselves, the less able they are able to unite in fighting for a solution.
Instead of splitting the student body and South African population across racial lines (like with Apartheid's 'divide and conquer' policies that included racial segregations and homelands) an emerging sense of unity and common purpose has begun to emerge.
The #FeesMustFall story becomes one of parents who fought for change and their children who were promised a better future. One road to a hopeful future was believed to be through a better education.
It has become a human interest story that we can all relate to – regardless of the colour of our skins.
However, this does not mean that other relevant and pressing concerns do not intersect with the fee concerns (including: race, legacy, class, privilege, and the function of police).
It would be unfortunate if these intersecting concerns would be fought at the same time, as this poses a risk to the solidarity of protestors (present in person and in spirit).
Many governments understand that education is one key to success – not only of individual citizens but the entire countries their citizens call home.
Many governments know this and act accordingly when they invest in their citizens and enable free access education.
Respected members of the international community, as well as academic institutions, also support #FeesMustFall and the #NationalShutDown.
The South African student population has recognized their needs and their right to achieve greatness.
I salute them.

In 2012, the hilarious comedy Safety Not Guaranteed was released. I probably browsed the video rental store (probably in early 2013 when there were still video rental stores), thought it looked like a quirky romp, and took a chance. Boy am I glad I did! I can't say enough good things about this movie, but this isn't a film review… So bear with me.
At this same time, I had just begun my first foray into online dating. Since I got so few matches locally on OkCupid, I tended to browse the recent activity to find interesting looking folks. Something caught my eye, and I clicked on what I think* was a picture of a guy breathing fire.
Holy cow! His profile was probably ripped word for word from an ad featured in the movie.
I obviously had a lot of time on my hands, because I decided to write this guy**.
Me: I want to go back in time to prevent George Lucas from making the prequels… And to get preteen me to nut up.
Time Traveling Suitor (TTS): The Lucas mission will take a lot of experience and preparation. Let's start with your preteen objective. What obstacles do we face there?
Me: Bullying and low self-esteem. Hopefully prevent a later incident. How are your calibrations?
TTS: So we're going to need to train you in martial combat . . . twice! Calibrations are going well so far, but everything will need to be reworked for a new travelling companion.
Me: So, why are you going back in time?
TTS: I'm going to the dangerous year of 1985, where I will kidnap my 5 year old self and raise me to be an unrivaled force of nature, thereby attaining great status and prestige. It's the ultimate in self-improvement.
Me: Won't that break all the rules of time travel? I mean you'll be perpetually raising yourself.
TTS: There are rules?!
Me: Well… I guess you would know better than I, but aren't you not supposed to let you see yourself? Not making too big of waves (like killing someone famous)?
TTS: What's the worst that can happen? Ok, ok, maybe we should avoid ourselves. If that's the case, what do I do or say to help preteen you?
Me: I haven't got it all worked out yet. Probably I'll need to create some pamphlet to let me know how awesome I am, and that [INITIALS OF BULLY REDACTED]*** just has a poor home life… If that doesn't work, you NEED to make it clear to me that when I'm 16 I need to say "in sooth" when the creepy guy tells me he's been watching me.
TTS: Ok, THAT sounds like the beginning of a story I really want to hear!
If only my actual dates were ask exciting as my online conversations!
*It's been years, my memory might not serve. Give me a break.
**I tried to do it in the style of the actual film conversation. Also, I ripped my George Lucas idea off of a Patton Oswalt bit called "At Midnight I Will Kill George Lucas with a Shovel" off his "Werewolves and Lollipops" album. I heart Patton Oswalt.
***I think that oftentimes bullies are just people who were bullied themselves. Therefore, I justify protecting the name.

LUCKY PEACH magazine, the creation of famed New York chef David Chang and writer Peter Meehan, launched in late June. The title comes from the name of Chang's successful group of restaurants in New York, Momofuku, which means 'lucky peach' in Japanese. Described as a food journal, the quarterly is aimed at "diehard foodies," and those who enjoy good writing. A companion iPad app includes a "deconstructed, non-linear cooking show."
Each issue explores a single food topic, "through a mélange of travelogue, essays, art, photography, interviews, rants and recipes." The focus is on new recipe designs and fresh, unusual approaches to cuisine and food culture. The first issue is dedicated to all-things-ramen, with a noodle-driven Japanese travelogue, essays by well-known food writers, articles on specialty noodles, a food-themed short story, a movie review and—of course—recipes.
The iPad app debuts in July and contains two hours of content, such as interactive articles, interviews, instructional videos, essays and recipes. It was produced in partnership with Zero Point Zero Productions, the company behind Anthony Bourdain's cable TV show, "No Reservations."
San Fransico-based McSweeney's is the publisher, and developed the project with Chang and Meehan. While Lucky Peach doesn't yet have a live website, more information is available at www2.mcsweeneys.net/luckypeach.

Keep Your Chemicals Safe by Using Chemical Storage Lockers
If you have numerous chemicals at your facility, you need to take some special precautions. You ought to meet some specific guidelines which are levied by the NFPA and OSHA specifications. Read the guide below to understand more how chemical storage cabinets can be of help.
You buy the chemicals stored in their containers. But, this isn't always sufficient. Compounds can pose a threat to your staff, and they may also be a fire hazard which is great. In reality, you might be aware that many of industrial fires are as a consequence of the wrong storage of substances. Therefore, do not take the chance. It's not really tricky to fix. But what it requires is the right chemical storage cabinet.
There is another reason which is the security of your premises. Not only will the right chemical lockers prevent theft, but you are also less likely to get some liability issues which could come up if a person who is not authorized gains access to your chemicals and does not handle them well, particularly if someone is hurt due to that action.
So, what must you look for to ensure that your new chemical locker is a great investment and will not need replacing as soon as it is inspected by the NFPA or OSHA inspector?
The simplest way to buy the proper kind of cabinet is to look for a reputable vendor who specializes in the industrial safety equipment. They can provide you with the assistance in choosing the appropriate cabinet for your case. And you can be sure that all their offerings should meet NFPA and OSHA quality standards.
First, you have to search for quality construction. A good deal of chemical storage lockers have been made from steel that is of premium quality. However, a few of the more corrosive substances should be kept in Poly cabinets which have a lot of density. That is because the compounds can eat right through the steel, which will leave you in a jam.
Additionally, search for the usual double-walled doors and also the tops, sides, and bottoms. Leak-proof seals are crucial and also the 3-point doors and vents that have baffle among other things. A couple of lockers include legs, which is amazing in the event you have moisture on the floor or if they need to be put over vents or sockets. Another benefit is that the lockers must be readily portable using a forklift.
Choose a chemical storage locker with the appropriate size. The size you purchase is dependent upon the number of substances you'll have to store and the various types you might have.
Of course, once you buy the chemical storage locker, the most essential thing is to use it.
