London - Robin van Persie reinforced his importance to Arsenal's prospects this season with the two goals that secured a 2-1 victory over Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.Van Persie has emerged as the Gunners' most influential figure in the wake of the departures of former skipper Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.The Holland international has been one of the few Arsenal players to impress during a depressing start to the campaign and was once again the stand-out figure, opening the scoring after 31 seconds and securing the win with a late free kick after Sebastian Larsson had levelled in the 31st minute.Arsenal's display was hardly convincing but after a difficult two months, it was the result that mattered to boss Arsene Wenger and his players.For Sunderland there was only more disappointment. Steve Bruce's side have also struggled, leading to growing scrutiny about the manager's future and they are only above the relegation zone on goal difference.The international break had given Arsenal plenty of time to stew on the defeat to Tottenham in the north London derby last time out.That result prompted Wenger to concede that his team could not be regarded as title challengers until they made a significant impression on the 12-point gap that had opened up between themselves and the early leaders.Initially there were few signs that Wenger's players were weighed down by their early season plight and they could not have wished for a better start.Tomas Rosicky released Gervinho down the left and when the Ivorian squared for Van Persie the Arsenal captain produced an emphatic finish from the edge of the box to put the home side ahead before many supporters had even taken their seats.Van Persie had rejected claims his commitment to Arsenal was wavering in his match-day programme notes and his performance during the opening 25 minutes eloquently supported his case.He came within inches of claiming a second after a sublime turn and chip that struck the inside of the post.Gervinho also had a good opportunity to add a second but having withstood early home pressure without conceding a second goal, Sunderland began to force their way into the game, helped in no small part by a succession of Arsenal errors.Gunners keeper Wojciech Szczesny was guilty of providing the visitors with timely lift when he raced out of his area only to arrive late, allowing Stephane Sessegnon to round him before the danger was eventually snuffed out by hastily backtracking defenders.Moments later a free kick, clumsily conceded by Mikel Arteta, granted Bruce's side a route back into the game with Larsson lifting the ball over the defensive wall and into the far corner for the equaliser.Suddenly Arsenal's earlier swagger disappeared and Wenger's side looked anxious and gripped by nerves.Carl Jenkinson was caught in possession by Larsson and it took a superb point-blank save by Szczesny to deny Lee Cattermole's header.Then, on the stroke of half-time, Sessegnon was allowed to cross from the right and Jack Colback should have done better when he connected with Larsson's nod down with a left foot volley.The introduction of Andrey Arshavin for Gervinho midway through the second period provided the home side with more drive in the final third and the Russia international came close when he stabbed a shot wide after slaloming his way past three defenders.Yet inevitably it was left to van Persie to ensure Arsenal avoided dropping more points.With eight minutes remaining the Dutchman took charge of a free kick having seen several of his team-mates squander similar opportunities and produced a strike every bit as impressive as Larsson's earlier effort.
arsenal will surprise many it's early to write them off on the title race.

Sitges, Spain! what an incredible and stunningly beautiful village! I was smitten in the very first moment I arrived there, and that was at three o'clock in the morning!!! After having visited so many wonderful towns and villages in Spain, I would go as far as to say that Sitges is possibly one of the most enchanting places you could ever wish to visit in this country.
Situated about 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona, From the typical whitewashed buildings in the old town's narrow streets to the palm lined seafront esplanade and beyond, Sitges is an authentic Spanish seaside resort with so much to explore and discover.
The roots of Sitges' artistic reputation date back to the late 19th century, but when Catalan painter Santiago Rusinol took up residence there during the summer, the town in the 1960s became a centre for the counterculture on the mainland of Spain (then still under the dictatorship of Franciso Franco), and became known as a sort of " Miniature Ibiza".
I first came to Sitges in the 60s and was fortunate enough to live through that exciting, fascinating and oh so colourful period. Every evening we would sit on one of the terraces in the calle Dos de Mayo (2nd of May street) also nicknamed calle del pecado (The street of sin) and watch the gorgeous wealthy Spanish ladies parade up and down in their glorious coloured outfits of reds, greens, yellows, turquoise, mostly very wide flowing trousers and tops studded with enormous sequins. The hairstyles were amazing and were usually decorated with stunning silk flowers.. Every evening was a continuous fashion show that lasted till the early hours of the following morning and would have been the envy of the most illustrious designers such as Armani or Versace.
This incredible town is also famous for its flamboyant carnival, its awesome film festival and its controversial Gay parade! All of which are really worth seeing.
Not to forget the Rally, when gorgeous shining vintage cars come along the coast road from Barcelona to Sitges, the drivers with their wives and families all dressed up in outfits in accordance with the epoch of the cars.
Very soon after going on holiday to Sitges I returned and took up residence. I met and married a Catalan man and had three of the most wonderful children a mother could ever wish for.
I stayed for approximately fourteen years and have many beautiful memories of the time spent there..
Yes! Sitges is a very special place. The Sitgetanos are wonderful - both the town and it's people will be held in my heart forever.

This past month we got hit pretty hard with insurance raises across the board. It's around this time every year our flood insurance, home insurance, and car insurance comes up for renewal, since we moved to Houston around May 2013. Mrs. SSC nearly split her gourd when she opened the envelope with the new rates for our home insurance. They had jumped almost $700 for the exact same coverage! $700!! WTF, man?! A few days later we get the renewal for our car insurance. Again, I see Mrs. SSC open the envelope and her jaw hits the floor and steam shot from her ears. It had gone up as well, almost $250 for my car and $140 for Mrs. SSC. Immediately, we ask ourselves, "What the hell is going on? We didn't get into an accident (I did in August, but I was rear-ended and no claim on my part). We haven't made any home owner claims? Why would they both raise dramatically at the same time? Have we gotten into some new age bracket we didn't know about?" We couldn't come up with anything, so we decided to start shopping around and that reminded me of the last time we changed insurance.
When we relocated from Denver and Chicago, respectively, to Bum-squattle, LA we figured we'd both save a lot of coin on car insurance. I was coming from a policy written for an outside parking only, decent vehicle crime area, and commute of 25 miles. I figured my new policy would be cheaper because I had a garage, 5 mile commute, and did I mention car theft/break-ins in Bum-squattle were really low? Yet, my policy was going to double. DOUBLE! For the same coverage on an 8 year old vehicle. WTF man?!
Mrs. SSC was in the same boat. Her Chicago policy covered her for on-street parking, high vehicle theft/break-in rates in her area and her policy would also more than double. What we didn't take into account was that Geico (our provider at the time) had just lost their ass with claims from hurricanes Katrina and Rita pummeling the Gulf Coast a few years earlier… However, we ended up saving a lot of coin from our previous policies just by switching to a provider that hadn't gotten hit so badly with the hurricane claims. Big win there just by shopping around.
We ran into the same thing with home insurance. Most big providers wouldn't even issue any new policies and it took Mrs. SSC days to find a local company that would issue a policy. (See above with insurance companies losing their ass on those two hurricanes.) We got laughed at from some companies once they looked up our new address. Literal laughing followed by, "My computer says we don't issue policies for that area anymore…" Evidently this was a thing and even long-time residents would get dropped because the insurance companies would reach a maximum number of policies they'd gamble on for that area and just drop those unlucky enough to not make the cut. It was literally a year to year scramble to have home insurance for some people I worked with.
But, I digress…
After spending 1.5 hours online (15 minutes doesn't quite cut it anymore, the commercials lie! lol) Mrs. SSC decided we should go back to Geico. Actually, she found they had a slightly better coverage policy offered for the same rate as our insurance prior to the price jump. So, effectively, $390/6 months saved. That's almost $800/year! Way to go Mrs. SSC!
Ironically, for our biggest liability the house, the amount of time spent shopping for home insurance was only 15 minutes. There were ~10 emails back and forth to our home insurance agent, the first few were along the "Are you sure this is correct? WTF?! What caused the jump?". So, maybe 5-6 productive emails, and ~5 minutes perusing the latest flood maps, since the links haven't changed from when we bought the house. Our agent found us a policy with the exact same coverage but would save us $523/year and $430/year with flood insurance. That's a savings of almost $1000/year! This is partly because we are not renewing flood insurance. Gasp!!! I know, I know, Gulf Coast, pseudo swamp land, what are we thinking? Well, our biggest risk is the tall pine tree getting blown into our house and letting rain/hail/creepy crawlies in during a storm. That's covered on our new policy since water is coming from above and not upward into our home. These type of clarifications account for most of the other emails. Unless our neighbors pools catastrophically flood and beeline to our house and not out to the street, we should be good. Famous last words, right?
By getting our hand forced to review our insurances and coverage, we ended up saving about $1800/year. That's pretty sweet, but if they hadn't raised our rates, we wouldn't have had a reason to shop around. It's the complacency and comfort of not changing things I guess. In Denver, and even before then, I'd usually check for better car insurance rates once a year, but never got a better rate from anyone. That's why I had been with Geico for 16 years before the last time I switched companies. 16 years! Whew, that's a long time… I guess it just drives home the fact that if you pay attention even when you think you're doing everything right "frugal-wise" you can still try and find some better deals just by investing a little bit of time. If you find you're already getting the best deal, that's an awesome feeling as well!
When was the last time you shopped around for different rates on insurance?
Have you found better deals by shopping around for other utilities?
Have you ever moved from a big city to Bum-squattle, USA?

High handed tactic used to evict Kampung Semangat squatters
At around 10.30 Sunday morning, about 70 squatter villagers in Kampung Semangat, Tampoi, here, demonstrated to demand for a fair compensation and against the unethical use of force and threat to evict them by an unidentified group of people.
Out of the 400 families who have been staying there for more than two decades, some 220 families have left after being constantly harassed and threatened by the unidentified group of people leaving about 180 families who have refused to bow to the high handed eviction tactic used.
Besides the residential area, the village also has a senior citizen home caring for some 50 aged people for the last 13 years, a village community hall and a small temple.
During a short speech, Kempas people's complaint centre coordinator and Johor PAS youth chief, Suhaizan Kaiat, said, the villagers are appealing to the mentri besar of Johor, Abdul Ghani Othman, to step in and assist the villagers to resolve the issue.
The villagers have refused to deal with the unidentified group and want to have direct negotiation with the land owner to seek for a fairer compensation, he added.
Incidentally, the 156 hectares of prime land has been bought over by Danga Bay Sdn. Bhd., which has been alleged to have intimate link to the Johor state government.
Answering questions from the press, Kampung Semangat Action Committee Chairperson, Wong Yong Pow, 60, reiterated the main points stated by Johor PAS youth chief, Suhaizan Kaiat and commented that the eviction notice which they received did not mention the name of the notice server's client and the contact number stated is not even in service.
A resident, Yong Juang Heng, 59, told Citizen Journalists Malaysia that the residents received the eviction notice pasted on their house wall sometime in September, 2011.
He said, an unidentified group has been coming to the village to offer compensation ranging from RM2,000 to RM8,000.
Some families were said to have reluctantly accepted and left, leaving some 180 families who stayed back to seek for a fairer compensation.
Animal lover, Won King Sang, 67, who has been operating an animal shelter for abandoned dogs and cats in the village over the last 10 years said, the villagers here are not unreasonable people, what they are asking is to be fairly compensated.
Kadir Razak, 55, another resident who has been staying in the village for over 20 years echoed Won's statement in total agreement.
Citizen Journalists Malaysia has been informed that the villagers have made a police report at 2.30pm yesterday at the Kempas police station against a group of unidentified people who trespass the village at about 11.00 yesterday morning with 5 bulldozers.
During yesterday morning commotion, the villagers demanded from the unidentified group of people to produce the court order or land office eviction order that authourised their action and they failed to do so.
The unidentified group of people was seen leaving the site in a hurry with their bulldozers after noticing a group of journalists arriving at the scene at about 12.30pm to cover the commotion.

Francis comes home from Marlin Academy for a visit and both Malcolm and Reese think it'll fun to have some quality time with him. However, both brothers will find themselves in competition with each other when they learn that Francis has bought only two tickets for a wrestling match up.
Meanwhile, Craig has appointed Dewey to take care of his beloved pet cat, Jellybean, while he's gone for the weekend at a comic expo. However, things go awry when he tries to give Jellybean, his usual medication and has enlisted Hal in a futile attempt to find Jellybean and bring him back to Craig's house. When Craig calls, during the filing of the missing cat report, Hal poses as Jellybean so he doesn't suspect that his cat is missing.
At the Wilkerson house, the competition between Reese and Malcolm worsens. Reese gives Francis a grooming treatment, when Malcolm shows up with his finished papers, indicating that Francis will pass with a C and allow him to goof off during the semester. Jealous, Reese does everything in his power to get Malcolm grounded so he can't go the the wrestling match. Eventually, Francis decides to tell them that he decided to bring a girl to the match up instead. This angers Malcolm and Reese as they plot their revenge against him.
At Craig's house, Hal has bought some sleeping pills and has put them in Jellybean's bowl in an attempt to catch him. Instead, he ends up having the other cats sleeping in Craig's apartment and Dewey suggests they bring Lois in. When she arrives, she was angry at the fact that Hal didn't call her when he and Dewey needed. Lois sets the house on fire which scare away the other cats and Jellybean comes home. Hal tries to put his sleeping pills in the cat's bowl, but Lois decides to pick him up instead.
On the way to the wrestling match up, Francis and his date are pulled over by a cop who demands for his license and registration because he got a report that the car was stolen. Francis tries to find his driver's license, only to discover that it's gone and the only thing left in his wallet is a note indicating it's going to be musch worse. Then, the officer hear movement coming from the trunk of the car and orders him to open the trunk. Francis does and when the officer finds Malcolm and Reese gagged and tied with rope. He gets furious and arrests Francis immediately.
At the Wilkerson house, Lois was furious that Francis got arrested and went to the police station to retrive her boys. After that, she punishes both Resse and Malcolm for getting him arrested by forcing them to serve Craig and Jellybean as their house guest.

text: Lady Day remembered: the life of Billie Holiday Billie Holiday, also affectionately known as Lady Day, was an icon of a changing America, memorable for a whole lot more than the blues so often bound to her name. Besides the expertly delivered, harrowingly sad jazz staples such as 'Strange Fruit', Billie rather epitomized a sensational lifestyle between extreme hedonism and extreme suffering. Merry Chandler takes a look at a life lived in extremes. In 1915, Billie was born Eleanora Fagan to a thirteen year old runaway mother in Philadelphia. By all accounts, the next few years were a mess, a now legendary cycle of violence, exploitation and abuse in just about every way possible, which defined the singers early years and would serve as the catalyst for some of the world's most heartbreakingly cathartic jazz standards, delivered by its most empathetic female icon. By the early Thirties Billie had established herself as a formidable talent on the Harlem nightclub scene, recording with legendary bandleader Benny Goodman. Her timing was great as it placed her at the forefront of the definitive Swing Era, providing all-American comfort during a tumultuous time between the wars and during the economic devastation of the Great Depression. Thanks to all this, Miss Fagan was set to become a household name, and she picked a memorable pseudonym combining two contrasting influences dear to her – the Twenties Ziegfeld girl and actress Billie Dove who she admired as a performer, and the man presumed to be her father, Clarence Holiday, representing her troubled roots. In her early career she had traveled with Artie Shaw's band, and the two had broken a huge social taboo as for the first time a black female singer performed with a white male band on stage. This was just too much for the dominant conservative sensibilities of the time and Billie was forced to pull out mid-tour following the humiliation of having to enter each venue through the back entrance, receiving death threats, and being legally barred from drinking with her fellow band members after shows. However, it set a precedent of courage and forward thinking for musicians willing to integrate for decades to come. At the initial height of her fame, Billie was able to take the traditional Thirties staple looks and with her striking and unusual physical features carve out a memorable presence, with high arched brows, glowing skin, red lips and her all important trademark white gardenias contrasting brilliantly as a focal point to set off her dark hair. Onstage she often accentuated the Thirties silhouette with long black dresses and simple pearl necklaces. In reality her life must have been far from the all-consuming doom and gloom synonymous with her name and music, rather she comprised a fascinating life of ups and downs, glowing career highs and devastating personal lows. By the time the Forties drew to a close, Lady Day was far from being famous for just her singing. The years had seen her grow from a Harlem-based musical sensation to international star, the frivolity of the celebrity lifestyle and the comparatively lax drug laws of the preceding era leaving her at the centre of addiction and relationship scandals. Her only marriage, to Mafia 'Enforcer' Louis McKay set a precedent for disaster. Her supposedly lesbian liaisons with infamously care-free party-girl and actress Tallulah Bankhead resulted in controversy and gossip. Unfortunately Billie, who was known on the celebrity circuit to have quite a thing for hard drugs, was imprisoned for ten months on narcotics charges in 1947. Refusing to sing a note throughout her whole incarceration she drew from her unique strength to withstand tragedy and in March 1948 finally emerged to engage in a critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall concert just eleven days later. To her own surprise, she was welcomed with open arms to an adoring public once again. This is not to say Lady Day was rid of the blues forever. Over the next eleven years of her life more drugs arrests followed, and heartbreakingly at aged just 44, Billie passed away as the victim of liver and heart disease. Disturbingly this once vivacious star famed for her beauty exited the world emaciated and spiritless, under arrest with police officers stationed at the door by her hospital bed and the remainder of her once huge fortune whittled down to just $750 at the hands of record company swindlers. Her legend was now solidified, and, far from being remembered purely for drugs and despair, the incredible strength of the woman who contributed so much to the musical consciousness of the Thirties, Forties and Fifties was celebrated. Her influence on today's music and style icons is still going strong, her distinctively sultry voice and hauntingly soulful delivery being major influences on modern jazz music, reflected recognisably in the likes of Amy Winehouse, Madeleine Peyroux, Macy Gray and a plethora of others. One Response Francesca May 21st, 2013 What a great singer she was!

Sever's disease(21 Posts)
Does any one have experience of this heel pain - Sever's syndrome? My 10 year old "sporty" son has been diagnosed with it. He was told he would need to wear a cast on each leg for 6 weeks plus have an additional 6 weeks therapy (18 weeks treatment in total!). This seems extreme as he does not have acute pain and I want to find out if there are other effective ways to manage this without the cast if possible? He is a swimmer and I do not want to interrupt his training if it could potentially help his condition. Would love to know if any one has been through this with their child without using a cast. Should he stop football for a while?
Its fairly common in gymnasts and other sports which are high impact.
I'd stop him doing any impact sport, so yes, football, running etc.
Swimming i wouldn't have though would agravate it? The casts seem a bit extreme, normally its rest, and ice if painful.
Who has he been seeing? Has he seen a sports physio? Unless he's seen an orthonwhi specialises in sport or a sports physio i'd get a second opinion.
My son had it last year when he was 11. He is a very active child. Once diagnosed, we took him to a sport's physio therapist (we have private insurance that covered this) and they gave him lots of exercises to do everyday at home. He was very good about doing them and recovered within about 4 months completely. He was told to cut back on physical activity and to listen to his body during recovery time. Casts were never mentioned by the specialist he saw or the physio. In fact, they were quite anti even using inserts in his shoes as they felt he needed to retrain the way he walked and stood.
My son had this along with Osgood Shlatters (spelling might off). He had orthotics in his shoes fitted by a specialist at the hospital but that was it. He is now 22 and still gets pains, he can't drive because it hurts and has had to give up playing football. I wish I'd known more about it, we were assured it would all go by 22, but it has not.
I would explore all routes, we were not offered any alternatives or solutions like casts.
My son had this, just in one foot though. It was very painful for him to walk. It's an inflammation so yes, any kind of impact sport will aggravate it but like pp I don't see why he shouldn't swim. When you say a cast do you mean a plaster cast? That seems very extreme to me.
My son's doctor recommended rest and ice, and after no progress in a few weeks he moved on to a boot (removable). I don't think he really started to improve until he had physiotherapy, and then it got better really fast. So I agree with really. A sports physio is what you want.
My ds plays football mainly - he was out for about 3 months.
Once it's better, you can get insoles for his shoes to help prevent it recurring.
I had it very badly as a child and spent nearly 2 years in plaster casts (6 weeks in, 6 weeks out) as that was the treatment in fashion at the time.
I managed to break just about every cast they put me in - even the fibreglass ones for racehorses - as it wasn't painful once the cast was on.
In the end I got a superb zip-on plaster cast - it was like two pieces of stocking that they filled with green foam and rolled out, then fitted it round my leg, zipped it up and left it to harden. That way I could wear it all day but take it off for swimming, baths, sleep etc. No idea if it still exists but this could be a solution for you.
Otherwise the best things I found were shock-absorbing sorbethane insoles in all my shoes and exercises to lengthen the muscles in the back of my legs.
So sorry for all DCs with this horrible disease, it is immensely painful (like having a chunk of broken glass stuck in your foot) and very tedious. I hope schools are more sympathetic than they were back in the 1980s.
It's very hereditary - my father had it badly, and my brother and one sister had it very mildly. I'm praying my DD doesn't develop it as she's very keen on dance.
I had this as a child and it gets very painful if not immobilised. I was in a cast for 4 weeks and had physio for 6 weeks after that and given special inserts for my shoes that I still have to wear 30years later. I ended up getting it in both heels about a year apart. At it's most basic the heel bone is hardening too fast while it's still growing and it stresses the connective tissues around the bone. The immobilisation gives the joint and tissue a rest. It can get very painful very quickly and while my mum left it for months with me thinking I'd sprained my ankle, in the end I couldn't walk and ended up in a&e
Using casts is very old school - would avoid unless it is very severe. The body doesn't like being immobilised.
Ds1 has this. We've seen podiatrist and got insoles and exercises which did no good. I then spent a fortune on various other insoles - again no good. Then I got would you believe heel pads from poundworld (yes really! ) which have pretty much sorted it out. It still bothers him sometimes if he's really overdone it but ice helps with that and he's pretty much back to normal now - just wears his heel pads at all times and we also have these special over the heel grips for when he does exercise without shoes on. We also were hearing stuff about casts beforehand as nothing else had seemed to work. I think they do it if your other options have run out. I would certainly question them recommending it if insoles and exercises hadn't worked. Go back and ask for other options and in the meantime get to poundworld!
Oh and Ds1 was in a really bad way before we got the insoles - crying when he walked more than 10 minutes, not able to do football etc.
Sorry that should say would question them recommending casts if insoles and exercises hadn't been tried.
DS had this age 10. Very active and played football on Astro turf. He had to rest for a month - no exercise - and used the special insoles. Saw podiatrist who recommended exercises and that helped too. Now 8 months on has gel heel supports but does not always wear them as pain has gone.
One of my DCs had this. First one heel, then the other.
No casts - exercises and ice/heat therapy, all managed carefully via an excellent physio and pain went within a few weeks.
And to answer PP: No, schools not sympathetic at all .
DGS (now aged 9) has Severs and Osgood Schlatters (equivalent knee pain) and exercise helped the Severs but only rest sorted the knee pain. A cast was never mentioned and I can't see how it would improve things. He was given orthotics for his shoes but that never worked as he has a very high instep so no room for the insole even if we bought a size larger.
We learnt a lot from Googling both Severs and Osgood Schlatters.
Agree schools don't understand it.
My 10yo had this when his school started doing mile runs most days to improve fitness and concentration. Physio diagnosed severs and suggested physio (calf stretches mostly) and orthotic heel inserts and rest from running (and swimming if it hurt for first week to let inflammation got down and no aggravate), then he was fine for swimming but still off running for about a month. School were ok, but I suspect they thought it was over anxious parent being fooled by malingering. But he was fine after the month, but still wears the insoles a year later.
DS3 had this, podiatrist said it's quite common in boys between 8-14. Gel innersoles helped, as did physio exercises, but it didn't go away till he was about 14.
As for swimming, does it hurt when he does? If not, let him carry on. I don't know about splints/casts - these were never suggested for my DS. Might be worth a second opinion.
oh I didnt realise it was a gp/physio thing, never mind casts! ds1 has it but we just ignore his hobbling. hmm maybe physio then!
Unbelievable that schools are still so unsympathetic - even when I was in plaster and on crutches mine were terrible about it. I was made to spend every break time and pe lesson sitting in the library on my own... given that I was at a boarding prep-school that did sport for nearly 2 hours every afternoon I spent a LOT of time in that blasted room (I used to hide inside the floor length curtains with a book and my, did I know a lot about the staff romances that were going on!)
I ended up with fractured growth plates which is possibly why I was in plaster for so long - fortunately only one foot was affected.
I know this is a zombie thread but my son (nearly 9) probably has this in his right heel
Tbh I've left it longer than I should have - I just put it down to growing pains
He's had an x ray today and Dr is talking about a referral
I have e mailed the school - he is back on thurs - and I am going to ask the dr for more clarification on what he can do (pe etc)
Should we be looking at a private podiatrist/physio?

Marcus Borg is Canon Theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon. He is also professor emeritus in the philosophy department at Oregon State University, where he was the Hundere Chair in Religion until his retirement in 2007. Borg is among the most widely known and influential voices in progressive Christianity. He is best known for his work as a fellow in the Jesus Seminar, his biblical scholarship, and as the author of twenty books. His most recent books are Speaking Christian: Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Meaning and Power — And How They Can Be Restored (2011) and Putting Away Childish Things: A Tale of Modern Faith (2010 — read my review here). For more information visit Borg's website.
Book Basics
Being Christian involves knowing, using and being shaped by Christian language. Speaking Christian considers the current language concerns in a North American context while inviting readers to reconsider and even redeem the meaning of key words and phrases in the Christian vocabulary including born again, God, heaven, Jesus, mercy, rapture and second coming, righteousness and salvation. Borg argues that current misunderstandings of and shortcomings in Christian vocabulary are a result of the literalization of language during the modern era and the interpretation of Christian language within the context of what he terms "heaven and hell Christianity," which is the popular framework that focuses on the afterlife, sin and forgiveness, Jesus's dying for our sins, and believing (p.2, 10-14). Each word or phrase considered receives its own chapter (ranging from 4 to 20 pages), which considers its usage in the early church and development over the centuries.
In arguing for the restoration of earlier meanings of key words and phrases in the Christian language, Borg does not invite people torecreate an idealized version of the early church. Instead, he pictures a postmodern faith that is more closely aligned with the premodern than the modern, focused on this life rather than any life beyond this life, and communal rather than individualistic. Writing in a postmodern style, Borg shares both the views of others as well as his own experiences of and preference for certain perspectives.
Speaking Christian is a must read for any progressive who is wondering if Christian language can be restored and/or who is seeking to better understand the historical richness of their Christian vocabulary.
So What?
Younger members of mainline congregations are increasingly ill at ease with certain Christian words. Borg rightly emphasizes that much of that discomfort, and even some quests to walk away from these words all together in favor of something else, comes as a result of an assumption that it is impossible or at least improbable to shift the meanings away from those crafted by the literalists.
- Do you view Christianity as being primarily concerned about this life or life beyond life (eternal life)? How does that answer inform how you read the Bible? Live out your faith?
- Are there any Christian words or phrases you have stopped using and think cannot realistically be reclaimed in ways that are meaningful? If so what do you place on that list? If not, what criteria would need to be met for you to feel this way about a given word or phrase?
- What types of faith formation groups or classes does your local congregation offer to help people explore religious language? What activities, readings, and/or people have influenced your current understanding of Christian language?

This question has puzzled many for ages, can we heal ourselves by internal thought or spiritual focus. The question has great debate yet has contradicting sides.. On one side with science, it has not been proven yet, however with testimonies indications it is possible are wide spread.
Can We Spiritually Heal Ourselves Physically or Is it all Hoaxes?
Testimonies have included a miraculous healing of Cancer or damaged liver or even non treatable brain tumours.. Many when questioned about there condition being gone, commonly claim they had fully given in to spirituality, mentally and spiritually as a way to deal with death.. Then for some reason by doing this, the ailment left..
This would have had the doctors thinking..?
Interesting enough there is a part of science that does understand this to an extent and that is the study of quantum physics, the theory is if one can believe something beyond all doubt which is almost impossible then it can effect the cells dramatically and one possible outcome can be full miraculous healing..
The spirit is the energy within the more denser physical energy that has more healing effects on the body than science or medical can ever understand.. By studying this in depth natural healing ability, then maybe a new science and medicine can be born..
This truly should be studied more, however it appears until science or medicine merges with the understanding of spirituality, the full healing of the body will never be unlocked. What do you think?

Tips for Tampa Nursing Students
Nursing school is an intense time for a student. Focus is imperative, and it can be hard to juggle educational responsibilities with life responsibilities and wanting to cut loose and have fun. This can be a great challenge for Florida students attending Tampa colleges. In such a beautiful place, focusing on studies can be a challenge.
Eat Right, Sleep Right
Eating right and getting plenty of sleep can go a long way for success in nursing school. Keeping your body properly fueled with healthy foods and allowing yourself to recharge for eight hours a night can ensure you are in tip top shape when it's time to work on clinical work. And you're in school to be a nurse – basic health should be a priority for you so that you can help others get and stay healthy, as well.
Stay Organized
Staying organized and keeping a solid schedule can help nursing students in Tampa stay on the right track. Get a good assignment notebook and be sure to keep track of class schedules and due dates. Make reminders so that you don't forget long-term assignments and find a system that works for you. Some students color code their calendars, while others prefer to use and discard post it notes when tasks are complete. However you keep yourself organized, be sure to stick with a system to keep you on track.
Try Group Studying
Tampa nursing schools require focus. Sometimes focusing alone can be difficult. That's where a study group might come in handy. The help you receive could make all the difference in your ability to focus on assignments, and being a member of a study group makes you accountable to other people. Some people perform better when they are accountable to others.
Don't be Afraid to Ask For Help
If you find it hard to concentrate on your studies, or if you are having trouble balancing work and school, it's ok to ask for help. Seek out your academic advisor and ask if your nursing school has a tutoring or study program that might help you regain your focus. And don't wait. Ask as soon as you notice there is a problem. You don't want to get too far behind in your nursing studies. Be proactive and speak up if you are having issues concentrating as you work toward your nursing degree in Tampa.

It's hard to find good footage of Milton Bradley losing his temper. I swear I've seen clips of him throwing bats on the field a dozen times. I did manage to find this clip from the worst sports-talk show of all-time though. Is that co-host conscious of that fact that he's wearing a fucking do-rag on his head?
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/YfbTYyZEij8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Bradley is a Cub now, to the sweet tune of a three-year and $30 million deal. Not bad for an eight year veteran with only ONE 420 at-bat season to his credit.
Other Free Agency Tidbits:
The Cleveland Indians have come to terms with pitcher Carl Pavano according to Jerry Crasnick. No terms of the deal were released, but I bet it's a far-cry from the four-year, $39 million contract he signed with New York in December 2004. Still, this could turn out to be one of the better bargains of the off-season.
ESPN's Buster Olney has word that the Oakland A's are on the verge of signing Jason Giambi.
That just about rules out every player on my Blue Jays wish-list. Fuck.

It was a trip to Port Moody 32 years ago that opened my eyes to the many wonderful things Port Moody has to offer. Having grown up on a ranch on the Albertan prairies, where horseback was my main mode of transportation I found that Port Moody had a wonderful small town feeling and a great sense of community. I decided then to make Port Moody my home and to raise my family there. I'm still proud to be part of this special community. Port Moody is the "City of the Arts" and I've done my part to help make that happen by volunteering many years of serving on the Board of Directors for the Port Moody Art Center. As a former Civilian Member of the RCMP, I'm committed, understanding, insightful and motivated to help people. Enthusiastic and energetic, I help the people I work with achieve their real estate goals and many past clients refer me to their family and friends.

Now i think that "we" have to decide if we want to draw a fedora-icon or a general pourpose one, and then in the first case maybe we can play with the fedora bubble ?
I do not think using the bubble in the puplet status icon is a god idea, i think is a slippery slope: use the bubble for update status, for network status, for whatever other functionality and suddenly the desktop is all bubbles, hard to distinct the purpose of each of them. More, at this small screen size, is very hard (impossible?) to use something else than simple and clear shapes and still have something recognizable - take as and example the SUSE icon mentioned in your blog (http://koolinus.wordpress.com/2006/06/14/puplet), for me as an non-SUSE user, it is completely unrecognizable, i can't tell its purpose from the way it looks.

They now have a website at http://eastendeco.com.au/
Not many products on the site so far. Maybe there's more in the shop.
Rating: 3/5
I won't be visiting this place. I tried twice to contact them using an online contact form and email and received no reply. It's just not good enough in the Internet age. As someone who will be visiting Perth, I wanted simple answers to a couple of questions, such as whether they have a real store with vegan products. Even though they advertise a store, I don't think there is one other than for books and CDs, etc. Their website has an online store but that's no good to a traveler.
Rating: 1/5
Such a fantastic resource for the people of Perth - a great range of well-sourced products for a relatively small premises. A select range of imported products is available, especially vegan products from the USA that are otherwise hard to find in Perth. Very reasonable prices. Helpful customer service. A saviour for the vegans/veggies of WA!

The fifth annual Reevestock Musical Festival got off to a rocking start Friday night with a free British Invasion-themed concert at The Liberty in downtown Elkin.
"Last night was awesome, it really was amazing," said event founder Sam Tayloe just as the full line-up of musicians were about to take the stage on Saturday. "I couldn't believe the numbers we had, the growth was just exponential from last year."
"It's great, it's going to be awesome," Tayloe added of Saturday's concert.
Local music lovers and visitors from near and far gathered at what is known as Elkin's hidden amphitheater on Ivy Circle to enjoy a day full of music, food and local wine and beer.
The event raises funds for scholarships for area students interested in pursing their college education in the arts.
Tayloe said that providing great entertainment and showcasing the Elkin area is also a part of the Reevestock mission.
"We have a lot of non-residents that come back every year for Reevestock and enjoy it and bring money into the community," said Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce President Myra Cook.
Cook said it was a terrific event not only as a way to introduce visitors to the area, but to provide such a special scholarship for local students. Cook added that the weather for Saturday had turned out perfectly for the festival.
"Look at that blue sky, it is a chamber of commerce day," she said.
The chamber had a booth at the festival to promote the inaugural beer festival which will take place later this fall. Cook said that festival-goers at Reevestock were a great audience to which to promote the new festival, Big Elkin Brewfest, which will follow the Pumpkin Festival on Sept. 24.
"We want to promote the Brewfest not only for locals, but to people outside of our area," she said.
Reevestock attendees were getting a sneak peek at the local brews from Skull Camp which was on hand serving beer at the event.
Musicians playing the festival had a lot of positive feedback as the event began on Saturday.
"It seems like a very positive atmosphere," said Raleigh-based musician Kate Rhudy who performed in the opening slot at the festival. "Since we've been here everyone's been super hospitable and really lovely." Rhudy said she's hoping to do more performances at music festivals around the state.
Locals, too, were thrilled about the festival.
"Everything just looks awesome and we're just so happy to have this great festival in Elkin," said Denise Lyon.

Five indicted by Saratoga County grand jury
A Saratoga Springs man accused of threatening another person and a Hadley man accused of trashing Town Hall were among those indicted by a Saratoga County grand jury Wednesday.
In those indictments:
• Maurice K. "Mo" Davis, 42, of Vanderbilt Terrace, Saratoga Springs, was indicted on charges including felony second-degree burglary and misdemeanor second-degree coercion. He also faces felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges.
He was arrested by Saratoga Springs police Jan. 13, after police said they received a call that he had entered a Phila Street residence and made threats over an alleged debt he was owed. The incident continued outside on Phila Street, where Davis was arrested.
• William S. Cason V, 30, of Cason Drive, Hadley, was indicted on charges of third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree aggravated harassment.
Sheriff's deputies said he became enraged during a telephone conversation with the Hadley code-enforcement officer on Dec. 6, then went to the Town Hall, where he overturned a desk, damaged computers and telephones and knocked over holiday decorations, causing $2,500 in damage.
• Geoffrey M. Pickering, 24, of Coleman Avenue, Hudson Falls, was indicted on charges of third- and fourth-degree grand larceny and 13 counts of petty larceny.
He is accused of taking baby formula from supermarkets in Clifton Park, Saratoga Springs, Stillwater and Wilton last September and October. The Sheriff's Department, state police and Saratoga Springs police all participated in the investigation.

Ok, so you will have to be gentle with me and not laugh...lol. Over at "Catch The Bug" Challenge they wanted us to create an ATC...I thought 'what fun this will be'! Well this is not only my first time creating an ATC (Artist Trading Card) but it is also the first time I have tried distressing! I have to admit it was fun, but not easy at all to get everything you would like to fit on your card into a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 space...lol. And it was definitely lots of fun distressing the paper...but I'm not sure if I did it right? I think it turned out kinda cute...but I don't know, I'll let the pros be the judge...lol!
I don't have that cool little distress too, so I used a mixture of my bone folder and finger nails to get the job done! Although, I'm sure if I had that tool, it would have turned out better.
Here's some closeups...
You can't really tell from the pic, because the pics didn't turn out too well, but I sprayed the image and flower with some "Smooch Spritz" to make them shimmery! And of course the image is from "Bugaboo Stamps"...it was actually a super cute freebie she was offering last year and I didn't get a chance to use til now.
To make the card pop and come even more alive I layered the flower 3 times!
And the last closeup shows the distressing a little better...
For the back I stamped a really cool ATC label! I actually got this stamp a couple years ago from my local craft store. I like to draw in my spare time when I'm not doing my million other hobbies...lol...and I original planned to use it to start doing ATC drawings, but never got around to it.
Anyways, I'm not too sure if I completely like the way this one turned out, but I know I will be making more of these! I have actually made mini cards before, so I guess this is the same thing. I really like to challenge myself, so I want to try and make one of these every day and collect them in an album! I think it will be fun to look back on by the end of the year! Plus they don't take long to make at all and I can use my loads of scraps!!
PAPERS: Jet black textured cardstock and DP from "DCWV" with plain kraft cardstock for the base.
IMAGE and SENTIMENT: The image is an adorable digi stamp from "Bugaboo Stamps" and the ATC label was handstamped and is from "Art Impressions" ( A Salem Oregon Company).
INK and COLOR: The image was colored in with "PrismaColor" pencils and a gamsol technique was used to blend. The label was stamped with Oynx black ink from "Versamark".
EMBELLISHMENTS: Black brad.
TOOLS: Sewing machine, "Spellbinders" with ovals dies, "Cuttlebug" with flourish embossing folder.
EMBELLISHMENTS: Black brad.
TOOLS: Sewing machine, "Spellbinders" with ovals dies, "Cuttlebug" with flourish embossing folder.
FEATURES: Machine stitching front and back. Stardust "Stickles" glitter was also added to the image for even more sparkle! The image was cut, 3D mounted and layered.

Synthetic marijuana is one signature away from being banned in Wisconsin.
A bill banning the substance passed the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly last week and is now awaiting the signature of Gov. Scott Walker.
The statewide measure came about four months after the city of Reedsburg failed to ban the substance, often called K2 incense, which mimics the effects of marijuana and can be dangerous.
The local Ordinance Committee voted against enacting a local ordinance by 3-2 vote on Feb. 28.
Russ Ziegler, a citizen member of the committee at that time, said in February that he didn't believe the city should enact an ordinance stricter than state laws concerning controlled substances; he was one of the three who voted against it.
Police Chief Tim Becker wanted the committee to consider the ordinance again at a meeting earlier this week, because two of the five members are new.
But when the Senate and Assembly passed a similar bill last Wednesday, Becker said it made more sense to simply wait for Walker's signature than to go through the multi-week process locally.
"It's not as comprehensive as ours, but I think it'll do the job," Becker said of the state act.
Alderman Dave Knudsen, who still serves on the Ordinance Committee, argued in February that it would be too difficult to enforce an ordinance that prohibits the possession, sale and use of a substance that it had no way of detecting.
The act would ban the possession of synthetic marijuana, commonly referred to as K-2 incense or spice. Although selling it wouldn't necessarily be illegal, possession would be, so stores wouldn't be allowed to carry it.
K-2 incense is currently sold in some novelty stores, including one in Sauk County.
"The big thing is to keep it out of stores," Becker said. "The less it's offered, the less we'll see it."
Once the act is signed into state law, Becker said, the Reedsburg Ordinance Committee will likely consider adopting it into its own ordinance book so that local police can handle first-time offenders. That state act currently lists a maximum fine of $1,000, up to six months in prison, or both for first-time synthetic marijuana offenders.

Now that I've been back in Richmond, Virginia for a year, I'm reacquainted with this city of rich contrasts. It's full of tradition and classic American architecture mixed with a thriving grassroots arts scene and the #1 public art school in the country. It's a pretty cool place, really. (Here I am in Church Hill's Libbie Hill Park overlooking the downtown warehouse district.) And just last night, Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," which was mostly shot here this summer, premiered two blocks from my house at the awesome, historic Byrd Theater.
Coincidentally, I have a flurry of stories on Richmond, Va. coming out. First up: I wrote THREE stories for a special section on Richmond in the November issue of U.S. Airways Magazine – on the Richmond Ballet, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. Here's the entire, 40-page Richmond section. Next, I've got a travel story on Richmond coming out in The New York Times any Sunday now... Stay tuned.

Operation Game Costume
I enjoy fun and interactive costumes. The idea for operation came from its interactiveness. After the paintjob and cutting out the body parts to be removed (six altogether). I set up a split circuit which connected, batteries, a buzzer, and an LED light(implanted into a clown nose) to disposable baking pans (which served as the metal sides) and a pair of BBQ tongs allowing the costume to work, and play just like the game!!!
the costume worked all night and was great fun for all who used it. All in all the costume materials cost about $20 (batteries not included)
