Sermon preached at Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria, VA September 1, 2013.
15th Sunday after Pentecost; Year C (RCL): Jeremiah 2:4-13; Ps.81:1, 10-16; Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16; Luke 14:1, 7-14.
A Facebook friend of mine posted just yesterday that she was tired of doing people favors and cutting them slack without getting anything in return. I responded by saying, "Oh honey, do we have a Gospel lesson for you this Sunday! Come to church!" This is a funny thing about our electronic social media. You never know when a gospel message will hit!
In another example, I think it's rare that a week goes by without one of my Facebook friends posting something about the number of hours of their life that they'll never get back after surviving time in one of the seven circles of hell known as the DMV. Whether you move from a church rectory on Seminary Road to a house on Davis Avenue, both being in Alexandria, or you must consolidate two households from Pelham, NY and Potomac, MD into a new home in Northern Virginia, You. Must. Go. Through. The. D. M. V. And you will wait in line.
It is a part of our culture that we must stand in line and wait. If we have money to deposit or a check to be cashed, if we want to buy tickets for a movie, a show, or a sporting event, if we need to pay respects to the bereaved at the funeral home, or are eager to offer congratulations to the bride and groom and their new families, we stand ... and wait ... in line. It's only fair, and for most of us, it is what it is.
Now that I think about it, the DMV, although irritating nonetheless, has that sneaky system to mask how long you must wait so you don't know exactly when your number will come up. I haven't figured out exactly how that system works, but once you fear you'll never be called, then your number comes up. B-243 now being helped at Window 7. B-243 now being helped at Window 7.
Sometimes however, waiting in line isn't fair. Sometimes people will cheat. Chrissie will tell you this is a pet peeve of mine. Some of them cut in.
Just last Friday, a minivan that had suffered a gasoline spill out here in the left hand lane on Quaker before the Janneys Lane/Seminary Road intersection, and gummed up traffic for a while. I was returning to the church, was waiting, and watched how dutiful drivers, seeing the issue ahead began pulling into the right hand lane to continue down Quaker Lane. Yet a number of cars (too many in my own mind) continued in the left hand lane all the way down to the stoppage, with some drivers then using their turn signal, and others not, pushing to get ahead of those waiting in the longer line.
Sometimes those who of us who are at the end of the line feel like the "least of these" that St. Matthew refers to, that we are forgotten, that we truly are the last, even though we are waiting patiently, being considerate, doing what is right.
In the Gospel lesson this morning, Jesus tells a parable about pride and humility, and hospitality and grace. He has been invited to share the Sabbath meal at the house of a leader of the Pharisees, who is something of a big deal in both religious and social circles.
It's curious to understand why upright religious folks keep inviting Jesus to their dinner parties, because Jesus always seems to stir up trouble while in their midst. At one dinner gathering in a different Pharisee's house, a disheveled, disreputable woman crashes the party, throws herself at Jesus' feet, and begins to weep. The host of the part is appalled and gets very upset, yet Jesus believes that she has done something beautiful in honoring Him.
Today, as we hear Jesus is invited into the home of the Pharisees' leader for a meal; you just know there's going to be an issue of some sort. Jesus arrives, makes some small talk with the house help, and then watches carefully how guests begin to jockey for position with one other for positions of honor. We all recognize the delicate skirmish which ensues when folks try to get the good seats next to really important people. Just like people trying to improve their position in traffic.
Jesus watches this a while, and then he tells his parable, calling to question the pretentious conduct of all the guests. He says, "When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; ... the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, 'Give this person your place,' and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. ... Go and sit at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you."
Then Jesus utters that great saying, "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
Here's the surprise: Jesus comes to stand at the back of the line with us, far behind the forgotten of society, far behind the unimportant, far away from the VIPs. And then He calls us all to turn around. With Jesus, what had been the back of the line is now the front. Jesus isn't about being fair. Jesus changes things for us. It is what it is.
Before he leaves the party, Jesus also tells his host, 'Next time you offer nice table fellowship, don't invite your rich friends and your pleasant neighbors, so that they might return the favor someday and invite you to one of their lovely parties. Rather, open your doors and welcome to your table the poor, the disenfranchised, and the marginalized. Then you will be blessed, because they can't repay you, for you will be rewarded at the rising of the righteous. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.'
Jesus makes an appeal for hosts to mimic God's gracious and generous hospitality to the poor and broken. That's the kind of hospitality that the author of Hebrews calls Christians to demonstrate in the world. Hospitality to the strangers that come into our lives.
Those same strangers could be angels, for many times we entertain angels unaware. Like the strangers, the angels that Abraham greeted at the oaks of Mamre. Abraham greets three visitors and invites them to stop and stay. Stay and wash your feet. Stay and eat these cakes we prepare for you. Stay and feast on this lamb we set before you. Stay and rest before you continue on your way.
Abraham expected nothing in return. Hospitality in that nomad culture was a given. Even then, there was a practice of 'paying it forward.'
But Abraham and Sarah did receive something in return: A promise. A promise that when the strangers return, the now barren Sarah will have borne her own child. The first of that promise of God's children that would ultimately number more than the stars in heaven or grains of sand on the desert.
To being Invited and to be Inviting to others seems to say something about the nature of the Church. For it is by God's Grace through Holy Baptism that we have been invited to and take our place at the banquet table of the Lord. And, when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, humility and mutual love continues among us, then the Church can be more inviting still.
What would it look like if we hosted a community banquet here at Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill for those in our broader neighborhood who don't usually get invited: the homeless, young people, the elderly, the unemployed, single mothers, and the poor, the disenfranchised and the marginalized. How creative and realistic might our conversations be with our guests? What might it mean, truly, in our context to be a blessing to those who, as Jesus said, "Cannot repay you?"
I've preached before about how the technological advances of connectivity and availability, coupled with the generational "disconnects" that can accompany these new gadgets and toys, have had an impact on our social nature. The heritage of passing down wise, honored, time-tested virtues and values is in danger of becoming a lost art. Sharing virtues such as humility, respect for elders, the art of hospitality, servanthood, and making peace, and let's throw in good old-fashioned common sense, can get lost in the missteps and miscommunications that follow generational shifts in both focus and attitude. It seems to me that our focus today is on improving this technology of connectivity without enhancing our actual ability to communicate or improving just being in communion with one another. How do we retrieve our social graces?
We can begin by focusing on the Gospel message. Jesus took time to not only pass along long-lasting, time-tested, and still prudent wisdom; he also raised up the incredibly gracious and life-giving values of the kingdom of God. For the humility it takes to seek the lowest place at the grand event, or the spirit of hospitality it requires to set a banquet for the "least of these," are some examples of the radical-yet-relational compassion that we followers of Jesus Christ are called to share.
Jesus always reaches across boundaries to bridge gaps, and seeks to heal completely the wounds of heart, mind, body and soul. Christ is the embodied Word of God, inviting us to imitate the faith and to walk the talk. Let us strive as the Body of Christ, the Church, this church, Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. May we walk ever so humbly with our God and share the generous abundant goodness the Lord has showered upon us. Whether it is online through Facebook or other social media, or in line while at the DMV, or somewhere stuck on the road in traffic, be blessed and share that blessing with others. May our hands carry Christ's Love into the World.

Marcelo Brodsky: Buena Memoria
April –
May 2002
The Gallery of Photography is proud to present the Irish premiere of work by the Argentinian artist, Marcelo Brodsky. Buena Memoria ("Good Memory") is a deceptively simple, and deeply moving, exploration of state terrorism in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s.
The exhibition is built up around a huge, blown up copy of a school photograph "Los Companeros" taken in 1967. Brodsky has marked its surface with brief notes as to the fate of his classmates: some are married with children, some emigrated, some went to exile, and, most chillingly, some were 'disappeared' during the Dirty War.
This series is accompanied by work that is even more personal, where Brodsky explores the legacy of the disappearance of his brother, Fernando.
Colombia University scholar Andreas Huyssen has put into words what Brodsky has said in images:
"Mixing and layering photography, writing and video into a multimedia palimpsest, Marcelo Brodsky's Buena Memoria conjures up memories of a Buenos Aires High-school class and the fate of it's members during and after the Argentine military dictatorship. Brodsky's powerful memory work on the disappeared, among them his own brother, reveals he crippling effects of political violence on a generation. At the same time, it energizes the public not to forget. The work is artistically challenging, deeply moving, and politically cutting. It successfully galvanizes the artistic representation of traumatic experience and memory with a very contemporary political struggle for human rights"
About the artist:
Marcelo Brodsky (b.1954) is an artist and human rights activist now based in Buenos Aires after many years in exile in Barcelona. He has had solo exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo, New York, Rotterdam, Montevideo, Rome, Caracas, and Amsterdam and his work is represented in the collection of the Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Joaqium Paiva Collection, the Fernando Baur Collection and numerous private collections. He is a member of the Commission for the monument to the victims of State Terrorism, Buenos Aires, and on the Board of Directors of Buena Memoria, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to work for human rights in Argentina. He runs Latinstock, the premier photo agency in Latin America.

Because the human-elephant conflict is real. Young elephants are being left to their own devices throughout the world, as their mothers have been poached for ivory. The children witness the killing of their mothers and they naturally ban together and become defensive of their communities. Many become aggressive.
Throughout this country and beyond, kids are forming gangs. Why? Because they have little safety in their own homes and they find comfort in numbers. There is a sense of security when you are in a tribe. But what happens when your tribe is attacked? You fight. You find a new family.
This heartfelt story explores the bonds of family and the future of mankind and the animal kingdom through the lenses of animals seemingly wiser than we are.

Elephant in the Room(formerly called Tusk) is a concert-theater experience
that combines elements of film, puppetry, live music and theater. It investigates the breakdown of socializations using the Human-Elephant Conflict.
As a young female elephant comes of age, her family falls apart. Issues around wildlife poaching, displacement, and abandonment are explored through an original book and score. Told through the eyes of a young female calf and her rhino sister, Elephant in the Room draws parallels to conflicts inherent of human life.
After a chance meeting at a fundraiser in 2012, Jean Marie Keevins and Sahr Ngaujah found that they were kindred spirits. A year later, Keevins' passion for bringing the Elephant-Human conflict to the forefront of human consciousness led her to contact Ngaujah. It was during this first sit down that Keevins proposed the idea of writing a Hip-Hop/Afrobeat musical that compares the degradation of the urban jungle to that of the animal kingdom. Not only did Ngaujah enthusiastically sign on immediately, he confessed to being rather consumed by the topic as well. Soon enough, regular story meetings ensued. (A side note: In 2006, The New York Times Magazine published an article examining the elephant human conflict in a story call "An Elephant Crackup?". Both artists had read this article, not knowing that the essence of it would eventually become the basis of new musical called Elephant in the Room).
In August and September of 2014, Jean Marie was the Playwright and Puppet Artist In Residence at the Nantucket Island School for Design & the Arts. She used this time, predominately, for the purpose of writing the first draft of Tusk, with no musical elements. Conducting countless hours of sociological, musical, visual and dramaturgical research on the subject at hand as well as the cultures surrounding it, Keevins was able to create an environment for herself steeped in the journey of the story. The residency concluded with an invaluable table reading of this first draft allowing Jean Marie to leave the island with a list of helpful and necessary critiques to be explored.
Once receiving the first treatment, followed by the first draft, Sahr got to work on the music. Since returning to NYC from Nantucket, Jean Marie has been developing the script and writing grants to secure funding for the project. Tusk was a finalists for a Creative Capital grant as a film. The pair has since resumed their exciting, forward-moving, and often painfully honest weekly story meetings in Brooklyn.
Both artists are ferociously dedicated theatermakers who know that the time for TUSK, the musical is now! Keevins and Ngaujah have been meeting weekly for months to build and define this work and feel that it is imperative that they be able to get it up on it's feet to learn about what works and what doesn't. They are currently working towards this goal in the hopes of presenting Tusk: The Concert in February, 2015.

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner resigned two weeks ago, leaving behind an offense that was second-to-last overall and in the league's bottom five for both passing and rushing despite a team record of 5-2. For the resignation to come without warning midseason was unexpected for just about everyone—including his son Scott, who is also his quarterbacks coach (including his quarterbacks coach Scott, who is also his son?).
"I knew that he was dealing with some issues, or whatever," Scott Turner told the Twin Cities Pioneer Press yesterday, which does not particularly indicate the sort of open communication you'd hope for between either an offensive coordinator and a quarterbacks coach or a father and son.
Either way, Scott says that Norv did give him advance notice of his resignation of "about one minute," which gave them time to share a hug. He went on to offer some evidence that the father-son relationship is definitely very healthy and well-rounded beyond that hug:
"He still wants to know what's going on, and how practice went. He's kind of like me; I don't know if he has very many other interests, so there's not much to talk about other than football."

There are a buy bentyl plethora of tools online that claim to help you find the ai???bestai??? keywords, but the most effective tool you could ever use is completely free: your brain. Tools are great to help you find keyword possibilities that you never considered, but at the end of the day, thereai??i??s still nothing that beats taking some time away from the computer to think through your (or a clientai??i??s) business, and what are the most important keywords for that siteai??i??s content.
Think of it from a searcherai??i??s perspective: users want to find the most relevant content to their query as fast as possible. Theyai??i??re not interesting in hanging around on a elocon ointment for sale, elocon ointment for sale, elocon ointment for sale, elocon ointment for sale, elocon ointment for sale, elocon ointment for sale. Google search resultsai??i?? page, they want to get somewhere, and optimizing a site on the most relevant keywords (which are not necessarily the oneai??i??s that will make you the most money in the short term) is a winning strategy that will build customer trust and loyalty in the long-term.
What does this mean for keyword research day-to-day? Here are a few tips and tricks that Iai??i??ve found effective:
1. Understand the business.
Dive deep ai??i?? as deep as possible ai??i?? to unwrap what the business does every day, how it makes money, and what success looks like. If you never understand how the viagra 007. business operates then you can never hope to target the right keywords.
2. Summarize what the business does in one paragraph.
And cheap sildenafil, cheap clomid. donai??i??t make the paragraph some corporate-speak nonsense about ai???synergizing thought supply leverage." Write it like you have to explain it to a 5th grader. (This is really part 2 of step 1)
3. Go through the top 100 pages of the site.
Some sites are going to have fewer than 100 pages, which means you get to go through every page (yay!). Slow down as you browse these pages and read, really read, the content on the site. Donai??i??t understand a term or an acronym? Ask someone. Make sure you understand it and jot down keyword ideas as you go.
4. Enter your ideas into the Google Keyword Tool to expand the list.
Get lots of suggestions that you might not have thought of right away, and start to get Female Viagra buy a general sense where thereai??i??s search demand.
5. Turn off the computer.
This is the scary bit. Minimize the distractions and go through your keyword lists to order valtrex figure out which keywords stand out as the most relevant to different pages on the site. Donai??i??t worry if you canai??i??t do this all at once, take your time and think about it over a couple days.
6. Layer on data.
Once youai??i??ve taken time away from the computer, come back to the keyword research tools and layer on top data to figure out which keywords have the best search demand, are the most relevant, and that are relatively easy to rank for. Thereai??i??s hundreds of articles online for how to do this step (many of which are excellent), and each person has a slightly different way they like purchase atarax to use keyword data to find opportunities.
7. Donai??i??t be afraid to revisit your keywords.
All the work up front and it may turn out that you were wrong. Be willing to track your keyword optimization efforts and the analytics data, and admit when you didnai??i??t get it quite nolvadex purchase right. Keyword research and targeting is an art that incorporates data, not a hard science.
We can often get caught up in the latest tool or set of keyword data and forget sometimes neurotin buy online that weai??i??re targeting other people who are just looking to get their search done as quickly as possible. Make sure you think like a person when conducting keyword research, and not like a machine.

School's back in session and it's time for students and teachers to rise, shine and show off a little at Back to School Night.
It's tonight in Fair Haven schools. And kindergarten is the first and best one for kids and parents. First of all, the parents don't need to tear up and down stairs and speed through hallways to make it to the next class when that bell rings. A little 5K training should be a prerequisite for middle- and high school Back to School nights.

And unlike some other local watering holes, they take credit cards. Hey, it's the little things.
But the big thing that I'm personally happy about is their addition of approximately 200 rotating craft beers. I am so excited about this in fact, that I have decided to stay in Big Bear another year. Well, that and the fact that I found a 5 acre place to grow hops. But that's for another article.
Their latest investment includes a total redesign and rebuild of their draught beer system. The new system includes 12 handles, 10 of which are dedicated to local and regional craft brews as well as standout Belgian and German offerings. A heavy focus will of course be on California craft beers. The new Glycol Draft Beer Cooling unit in the back of the bar keeps the brews at a perfect constant 32 degrees, for at least 240 feet.
Owner, Mike Kostiuk, has managed to elevate one of Southern California's favorite dive bars to include a larger variety of beer for the craft beer drinker.
Murray's is the real deal.

1. LOCATION Whether you want to purchase a home to live in for several years or to resell quickly, the #1 Rule for ReSale is location . Chances are that you may not live in the same home your entire life, so location and resale value may be important considerations when purchasing a home. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is one of the best cities for Resale Value, with an amazing award winning school district, low crime reports, family orientated neighborhoods, prime weather & views and an exceptional location most homes have no problem selling along the Peninsula.
- Another important factor to consider as you try to find the best neighborhoods is the quality of the local school system. Even if you don't have children, you should try to research the closest schools before purchasing a home. This provides a good criterion to factor in of the attitude of the neighborhood and the type of people you'll be surrounded by. High scores can mean parents are fully invested in their local school system and their children and this translates into how they feel about their homes.
- Though you may be looking for properties that lie in the middle of desirable neighborhoods, you should also consider how convenient the location is for a potential homeowner. The best homes will be located near all the essential businesses and have "walkability" – such as grocery stores, dry cleaners and banks.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD. Although this falls under Location, neighborhood plays a huge role in Resale, and that's why it deserves its own rule. The most important step in finding a home with resale value is choosing the right neighborhood. One of the first things you may want to consider when researching a neighborhood is the economic stability of the neighborhood.
A desirable area will:
- Possess a good mixture of residential and commercial districts
- Have jobs for future residents
- Demonstrate consistent economic growth
- Be supported by a strong local government
In short, the ideal neighborhood will represent the best of worlds, offering residents both privacy and convenience.
If almost every home in your neighborhood has only 2 bedrooms, owning a home with fewer than 3 bedrooms is most likely not a drawback. But it is a drawback if you're trying to attract, say, a couple. Many couples need a guest bedroom and an office, if not an office for each occupant. A home with 3 bedrooms or more is always a better choice to ensure future resale value.
Buyers will still buy a one-bath home but they expect to pay much less for it. Given a choice between a two-bath home versus a one-bath home, first-time home buyerswill almost always opt for the two-bath home, even if the cost to install a second bath is much less than the price difference between the two homes.
Moreover, it's not enough to simply have two or more baths. A home without a master bath will suffer a lower resale value.
The term family is a bit misleading. A family space is any space in which a group of people can congregate. Whether to entertain friends or host a neighborhood gathering, buyers want an extra room that is spacious and informal. The days of the formal living room and parlors are over. Every space in a home today has a specific purpose and sometimes a dual purpose.
Don't ask me why, because it goes against my grain, but people in the 21st Century collect too much stuff. They've got to store it somewhere. Walk-in closets are almost an essential. Homes with small closets are hard to sell.
When I was a kid in the 1950s, homes with 2-stories were more desirable but that trend has reversed itself. Even if the sacrifice is yard space, most buyers prefer a one-story home. Single levels are handicap accessible. However, in neighborhoods with a mix of two-story and one-story homes, don't buy a single-level home surrounded by multiple-story homes as those have a bad home resale value.
Unless you live in an urban area that relies mostly on public transportation, you need a place to park your car, preferably 2 parking spots. If it's a covered, enclosed area, all the better.
Few buyers want a chopped-up, closed-in space. Home buyers prefer natural light and open spaces, with a common sense flow that is interconnected without satellite rooms. A wing is acceptable; however, many families with young children do not want the master suite separated from the other bedrooms.
Simple, do-it-yourself home improvements can greatly enhance a home's resale value. The two best rooms to remodel are the kitchen and baths. Home buyers prefer central heat and air, and some loans such as the energy efficient mortgage will provide for such updates upon purchase.

Once the warranty runs out SELL IT.
without taking the thread off track for too long please in response to your reply.
Having some fair knowledge in the parts game being involved the last 30yrs wish for me to advise the hurdles and length of time waiting on some genuine toyota or even mazda parts for family cars out of WTY and the pricing they charge as well, I'll add in hondas having owned a few of those also for the wife all out of WTY as well.
Patriot is out of WTY I'm still not concerned, I'm involved with OS sourcing and visit many factories I'm afraid you all get ripped imo knowing the costs ex factory so whats new be it JEEP or any other brand.
It just comes down to the inconveinence and bad timing then depending how your treated by the service manager or parts interpreter.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have done a fair bit of investigation before letting the wife grab the Jeep. This is because I will be the one paying for it! I agree that with EVERY car brand there are those that turn out to be lemons. It is the risk that you take with every purchase. All you can do is do the research and make a decision based upon this.
As far as parts go ALL companies make a very good margin on them, Ford included. They have to as the margin on new vehicles are shrinking due to competition, and some dealers are finding it hard to attract customers back for servicing (will not open that particular can of worms). I am aware of some of the parts cost and some of the major service charges coming up. These were explained to my wife who will be paying for that part and she accepts that.
In the case of the Jeep it has improved immensely with the new model. I have spoken to a large number of current owners across a wide range of uses. This comes from families to farmers and to reps who cover as many km's as I do in my Hilux (approx 75000 km's per year). 95% of them were very happy with the vehicle. It has picked up a number of awards so hopefully the odds are in our favour. The Territory has been a great vehicle with its fair share of ups and downs (and expensive parts). Just couldn't go back to it because the new model is really a facelift with a diesel motor. This ultimately wasn't enough for my wife. Won't stop me modding the XR8 and grabbing a new Ranger later!

Wife: I bought a Jeep
Perko: you bought a what?
Wife: I bought a Jeep
Having just spent some time in a new Terry, a mighty impressive car I must say, the Jeep must be good to tempt you. That said, i understand some of your motivation, as our last purchase was a c250 as the wife didn't want another car the same. And at that time a TT Ghia was exactly the same car. Sadly the TT was in many (most) ways a better car.
The SRT version looks awesome. I haven't seen the others up close.
The problem with society today, is that nobody drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.
I like those JEEP ads - clever

I actually prefer the JEEP looks wise to the Territory with its more muscler, sculptured body shape. But as Tony pointed out I have been a few Titanium Terriorty's recently and was very impressed with the fit, finish, ride and overall quality. In my eyes it was a quantum shift from the original version launched in 2005-6. The biggest issues I have with them, and many other SUV's on the market today is they lack personality. You can't say that about the JEEP.
Agree Col on the personality or presence imo - upon the purchase thought you beauty at least I'll be happy being in the drivers seat they have a tuff look whereas the usual jap suv etcetc is soft and all too common.....IF it cause's me a problem fine I'll get it fixed.

He Did It!
Skeptics (like me) and cynics (like me) found themselves cheering on Eliud Kipchoge in the closing minutes of the "Breaking2" two-hour marathon attempt, once it appeared that he had a slim but plausible chance at hitting the target. This observer, following by TV in the wee hours of Eastern Daylight Time, found himself choking up at the spectacle, made dreamlike by the camera work showing Kipchoge's long fluid stride and unfaltering rhythm right up to the final sprint. Whoever watched this thing who was not chanting the equivalent of "go, go, go—you can do it" for the last lap is a person without a heart. That he did not technically break two hours mattered little—he might as well have run two hours. Being one second per mile off the crucial pace was like a pitcher missing a perfect game by an infield error with two outs in the ninth inning.
The skepticism came from a reckoning—made not just by myself back in December but also by plenty of folks with a lot more expertise than I—that the two-hour marathon was physically impossible at this point in the sport. The cynicism came from the feeling that the Breaking2 project was as much a marketing tool for Nike as it was a test of human limits. "Science or Stunt?" I painted it back in December. It turned out to be both and more—but to get the "more" I think you had to have watched it in real time, when no one knew the outcome and the suspense built steadily to a crescendo. Not as hair-raising as watching Secretariat win the Belmont Stakes, but in the same realm.
"Moon Shot" on solid ground
What most struck me was the counterpoint between the flesh-and-blood man—Eliud Kipchoge—and the machine of many parts that Nike put together. That machine was constructed by a team of scientists, engineers, sports physiologists, shoe and clothing designers and materials experts over at least two years of preparation, given the best technology and physiological and psychological preparation Nike could buy. The most obvious elements on the scene itself were the carefully chosen venue, the pre-dawn start to optimize temperature and humidity, the pace car gliding with silent, spooky constancy , and the arrowhead formation of six human pacers, just far enough in front that no one could claim for certain that Kipchoge benefited from their draft, but close enough to give him companionship—and a shared sense of purpose with the team-of-nine pacers who came and went by threes, lap after lap, with uncanny precision. (We were later to hear that the seamless pacing maneuvers had, incredibly, not been rehearsed!)
(A note on drafting: cyclists are aware that noticeable benefit from drafting kicks in at just about the speed Kipchoge was running, and to realize it at such low speeds you have to be directly behind the wheel ahead at less than a bike length. I'd guess the aerodynamic benefit Kipchoge got in the "arrowhead" pacing configuration was .5% at best—bearing in mind that .5% of 120 minutes is 36 seconds.)
You knew Kipchoge was at his limit for the last half hour, but was so smoothly conveyed by the flawless machine, and so in his Zen-like zone of concentration that there was little sense of struggle. The oft-invoked "Moon Shot" metaphor was apt: the Apollo astronauts were extraordinary humans doing extraordinary things with a calm unthinkable to most of us earthlings, while their achievements were enabled by extraordinary technology.
I was tempted to entitle this post "The Man in the Machine," but Eliud Kipchoge transcends the notion of an experimental subject in a technological bubble, as much as the Apollo astronauts transcended the United States.
But was it a two-hour "marathon?"
What Kipchoge ran was not a "marathon" in any conventional sense, for all the reasons discussed above. It was more like a 26.2-mile time trial, especially since the "field" of three fell apart far before the hardest challenges arose. It was a "singular" event in more ways than one. As impressive as Kipchoge's achievement was—and he is probably the only man on earth who could have come so close—I will be more impressed if he breaks 2:02:00 in an actual "standard" marathon race. And I think he could do it at Berlin.

Amazon Bashing
Lovers of the mystery genre are a lucky lot to have The DorothyL web site, an astoundingly active discussion forum named for legendary writer Dorothy L. Sayers.
This moderated forum is lively, informative and always interesting. But I'm continually amazed at a steady drumbeat of Amazon bashing there and elsewhere.
Amazon has its flaws. And given my preferences, I'd rather wander and browse the shelves in a well-stocked book store, especially a friendly independent with good inventory and staffed by knowledgeable people.
But I can't keyword search the physical shelves and often I am looking for books too obscure or slow-selling to be stocked in a physcal store. Amazon allows that.
Amazon offers a backlist of books that no physical book store could afford and thus allows continual residual sales of books that would otherwise be OUT of print. And if it is out of print, there are links to secondhand booksellers who can usually fill the need.
Of course, there are online alternatives to Amazon, among them Barnes and Noble and Booksense. Borders online has been coopted by Amazon. Powell's has a great site as does Alibris and Abe.
I've been pulling for Booksense for years, hoping this site for independent book stores would succeed. But independent booksellers are ... well, independent and not always in tune with the buying public. The Booksense site is awkward to use and fails to offer many of the search, shipping and account management capabilities as Amazon does.
So, give your local independent a first try (if you feel welcome there) and develop your own online sources. But despite Amazon's flaws, it deserves some respect for offering valuable services found nowhere else.

HI. Mandy here.
Boy, Rachel's post from yesterday got me thinking, you know? The whole dating thing. What attracts people to each other.
In my case, I usually repel guys. That tends to happen when you can potentially freeze their lips off if you kiss them.
Yep. I'm lucky to have a wicked-crazy power. Freezing things I touch. Oh, and not to mention, I can lift a car over my head.
You'd think that would leave me pretty muscular, right?
So NOT the case. I'm impressively wimpy looking, actually. So that doesn't help with the trying to find a boyfriend thing.
Needless to say, I usually keep to myself. It doesn't help much that I have these freaks from The Center trying to find me so they can dissect me to figure out why I can do what I can do.
Enough about that.
I thought it'd be fun to talk MOVIES today.
It's called the "meet-cute" when the situation/circumstances that the couple is thrown together that will span the movie.
Like, in Twilight. The first time Bella sees Edward. It's in the lunch room. But their meeting was at the class, right? He totally freaks on her, doesn't say a word, but still, they meet.
I like when they finally talk much better. His eyes are shimmering, and he's asking her about the weather.
Oh, and not to mention when he stops the car from slamming into her.
But enough from me.
What's YOUR favorite meet-cute between some movie characters??
OH, and I have to ask, did you go see ECLIPSE? Did it rock? Haven't seen it yet. I know, I'm lame.

Aston Villa 1
West Ham United 0
by East Stand Martin
I have a pathological dislike of Birmingham which stems from the time I went up there and contracted chicken pox. Dont ask me how I picked that up but I looked like Ben Hurs sister. No f*cker brought me any provisions in the leper colony though; the whole world was giving me the body swerve. Couldnt blame them to be honest.
No nutter with putter
The teams looked totally different since Bellamys been sidelined and once again the Welshman was absent. At the moment this just loads more pressure on a semi-fit Ashton as he ends up being partnered by second-string strikers. Also out was Ferdinand and this led to a central defence of Upson and Gabbidon with the ever dependable McCartney down the left and the recently less dependable Neill down the right. On the plus side, Matty was back, with Mullins and Bowyer in central midfield and Freddie down the right.
There was a cheery greeting for Reo-Coker from the travelling support and this was matched by the home fans for Upson because of his Birmingham City connections. Youre just a short Paul Ince.
The danger was always going to come down the West Ham right with the dangerous Young ranging along the touchline and so it proved as early as six minutes in, when a chance in the box was engineered for Moore, but he missed it.
No Argie
Mullins, who deserved to start given recent displays stroked a pretty pass out to Matty on 8 minutes and he fired in a dangerous looking cross which ended up in the back of net thanks to a poorly executed Maradona hand of God by Camara. It was easily spotted by the ref and it ended in a booking for unsporting behaviour.
Three minutes later Green was tested by a shot to his right by Moore following a surge through the middle by Gareth Barry and just after this Young looked like he had a decent penalty shout after he did Neill for pace but ref Steve Tanner was disinterested.
Camara showed some good skills and ran forward out of his own half on 18 minutes. He was close to feeding a great ball out right and the rebound from the failed pass arrived at Mattys feet but his far post cross was just too far for Ashton.
On 20 minutes, Camara made another good run down the right and shielded the ball well to allow Mullins to drive forward and pick up a square pass, but his shot was poor.
Then on 22 minutes, a tussle on the edge of the box between Gabbidon and Agbonlahor saw a free kick awarded. Gabs didnt look too pleased with the ref, but it was one of those decisions that can go either way. I said to the bloke next to me that it would be a goal and I was proved right as the powerful shot from Gardner cannoned of Gabbidon and into the net with Green looking like he had it covered.
Two minutes after the goal, it looked like Freddie might have stolen in at the far post following a cross from the left, but his stretched header was straight at the keeper.
For the next five minutes of the game around the half hour we were getting crucified down our right with Young causing most of the trouble. On a couple of occasions, a more quality final ball would have resulted in a goal, but somehow we kept Villa out.
Anti Antipodean
Then came the unlikely news from France that England had turned over the convicts which led to a joint Irons/Villain chorus of Swing low sweet chariot. Im no rugby fan but I suffered a lot of taunts from the kangaroo-shaggers during the Ashes down under, and it must have been sweet to have given it large to the marsupial-worriers. I shall keep that one for the next time we face the enemy at cricket as the chant 20 points to 17 always used to wind the f*ckers up a right treat.
Apologies to down under Hammers, by the way, but your fellow countrymen are largely tw*ts in my humble experience although I do concede that most bars in London would shut down without em.
Ljungberg was having an industrious game and on 33 minutes he did well down the right to feed a ball into the box for Bowyer whose shot was well blocked. Two minutes after this, Zat Knight was booked for taking Ashtons feet out from under him and Camara was substituted by Cole seemingly because he had just joined the ever-growing injury list.
Matty nearly latched onto a back pass on 37 minutes and it looked like he got something on it as the ball hit the keeper. The last action of note was on 44 minutes when George McCartney made a great cross from a very tight position, but Ashton couldnt turn in the box and shoot. A corner was won but this ended up being headed over.
It was a half which Villa shaded thanks to the set piece and the greater threat posed down their left side. A more clinical approach in front of goal might have seen us more than one down, whilst we created few real opportunities.
The second half began with no changes on either side and the biggest cheer of the match so far came on 54 minutes as Reo Coker saw yellow for a tackle from behind on Bowyer. Then a minute later the chance of the match arrived for West Ham as good work down the right by Ljungberg saw him whip in a cross to the far post and two defenders get in each others way. The ball dropped to Cole, who could only thud a free shot into the ground allowing Carson to make an easy save.
Ljungberg followed with another fine run just after this and sent Matty on his way with a run into the box, but his shot was cut out.
Cole was looking for an opening, but sliced a shot horribly wide on 59 minutes, after a rapid exchange of passes. Two minutes after this, Ljungberg made more progress down the right but his nice chip into the box was headed wide by Bowyer.
Part of the problem for West Ham was that consistent attempts to launch balls down the middle to try and achieve Ashton flick-ons were largely cut out by the excellent Laursen. Deano looked more and more miserable as the half wore on.
Lions share
West Ham had the lions share of possession but the end product was lacking. Villa, meanwhile had nothing like the pace and penetration that they enjoyed in the first half, and it took until 75 minutes before they created any real opportunity when Young fired in a raking cross which seemed to hit Upsons arm and then evade a striker sliding in at the far post.
Ljungberg was the creator again on 76 minutes as he put in a great ball to Coles feet as he ran diagonally across the box. He tried a first time shot which he scooped over the bar much to the anguish of the increasingly frustrated travelling support.
It was last chance saloon time and Curbishley swapped Mullins and Matty for Boa and Noble with 11 minutes of ordinary time left, but their introduction made little impact. In fact, it was a mistake by the normally faultless McCartney which let Agbonlahor have the best chance in the remaining time, but Green who any half wit can see is streets ahead of Paul Robinson in the England goalkeeping stakes made a great save with his feet as he spread his body.
The last move by West Ham came in time added on as one last ball over the top was sent over by Boa Morte, but none of the strike force could get near the ball to try and turn it in.
Three in a row
Thats three defeats on the bounce and they have been due to facing difficult opponents home and away as well as suffering injuries to key players. It was not a great spectacle, and you can see why the manager made his later claim that we might have merited a draw.
Villa did drop deep in that second half, but we were unable to punish their lack of adventure. They defended pretty comfortably as we created few chances on the back of a lot of possession. We relied largely on Ljungberg to be the creative spark but we had a front two that could not profit from the few chances we created. Ashton in particular did not look at all fit. The killer counterattacking pace is not there at the moment and we need it back.
I did have to bite my tongue on the way out as I saw some Doris in our end wearing an Australian rugby shirt. I gave her the benefit of the doubt which under normal circumstances would not have happened. Obviously a fan of Lucas Neill.
It was a disappointing day out, but I think that we also learnt that Villa are unlikely to be challenging for Europe on the basis of that performance. We now face an important game at home where hopefully some of our players can move off the treatment table to try and get us back on track.

Player Ratings
Robert Green
A decent performance from England's real number one.
Lucas Neill
Still far from the player we saw at the tail-end of last season.
George McCartney
Worked hard to keep the opposition at bay. Picked up a knock late on.
Danny Gabbidon
His first start of the season, looked a little ring-rusty.
Matthew Upson
One of his best performances of the season so far.
Lee Bowyer
More than held his own against bad boy Reo-Coker.
Hayden Mullins
Brought in for his experience, a decent effort.
Freddie Ljungberg
Just about his best effort for his new club. Clearly far fitter than he was a month ago.
Matthew Etherington
Whipped in some good balls but too often on the periphery.
Henri Camara
Lasted 36 minutes before succumbing to injury. No signs that he'll be anything but a bit-part player.
Dean Ashton
Not really at the races and injured late on.
Carlton Cole
(replaced Camara, 36) Missed three good chances - our best of the game. Gets into good positions but needs to work on his finishing.
Mark Noble
(replaced Mullins, 80) Barely had a chance to nip at Reo-Coker's ankles.
