BRanding / APPLICATION DESIGN / LAUNCH & AD SALES VIDEOs
We teamed up with Citified to develop this hybrid web application from the ground up. Citified is a content and data application, focused exclusively on the burgeoning new development scene and all of that industry's news. Since Citified's functionality is new to its audience, we developed a friendly identity that made an easy visual merger of iconic representations for new buildings and online content. The themeline emphasized the comprehensive news coverage from beginning to end of each new build project on the landscape.
Citified's sophisticated technical engine is built around a massive database designed to offer a feature-rich user experience to multiple target audiences. Introducing the functionality in an intuitive and accessible way was our job. In keeping with the approach to the logo, we relied on the principles of good information design. The interface and modular page layouts were minimal, gradient-free frameworks with strategic use of colour, typography and space to tell every story.

There is a misconception that all a Bay area property management company really does is collect the rent and maybe take phone calls to handle maintenance requests. A good property management company does a lot more than that. Today, we are highlighting a few of those services that your property manager should be doing.
Rent Collection and Financial Management
In addition to collecting rent, your property manager should keep accurate books and records for all the financial transactions associated with the property. Your property manager must also keep you informed with monthly financial reports.
Handling Maintenance
Property managers will be available 24/7 to take care of any maintenance or repair issues. To provide outstanding property management in the Bay area, a company also needs a network of vendors to call upon to handle maintenance requests in timely manner and at a reasonable price.
Tenant Relations
Good property management companies will keep an open line of communication with their tenants and speak to them once in a while. There will be repair requests and times when there's a dispute with a neighbor that needs to be handled. The property manager is there to make sure the unit being leased is meeting the tenant's expectations.
Providing good property management in San Jose means having a protocol for the tenant lifecycle. That lifecycle starts with the vacancy. A marketing plan should be in place to attract potential tenants. There should be a process for qualifying prospective tenants to ensure rent is paid and the lease will be followed.
Regular On-Site Inspections
It's important for the property manager to go to your property and make sure everything is okay. This is an opportunity to look for potential maintenance issues, and to make sure tenants are doing what they should be doing. You'll be able to keep your problems small when your property manager is performing regular inspections.
This list is a good overview of what your property management company should be doing. If they are doing these things, you'll have a better maintained property with happy tenants, and increased property values for you. Most of all, you'll get peace of mind that everything is running smoothly at your rental property.
Contact us at Pacific Gateway Properties if you'd like to learn more about our services or San Jose property management in general.

Cyber Warfare Exercise
In the next few weeks I will be participating in an intensive 15-day cyber warfare exercise hosted by the Massachusetts Army National Guard. This exercise is conceptualized around a cyber attack affecting critical infrastructure in the Northeast with an emphasis on public and private collaboration.
I will be working on a "Red Team" of aggressors coming from various roles and organizations such as Mitre and Partners Health.
I look forward to learning about new attack and defense techniques and bringing them back to service SystemExperts and our customers. It should be interesting. I'll keep you posted.

Chris Forsyth
Chris Forsyth is a lauded guitarist, composer and bandleader whose work assimilates art-rock textures and vernacular American influences. Long active in underground circles, he's recently released a string of acclaimed records of widescreen guitar rock, and in 2013, he assembled the Solar Motel Band. His most recent release is the 2016 double album The Rarity of Experience (No Quarter). Raves have been universal. Pitchfork called it "a near-perfect balance between 70s rock tradition and present day experimentation," NPR Music named Forsyth "one of rock's most lyrical guitar improvisors," and the New York Times calls him "a scrappy and mystical historian… His music humanizes the element of control in rock classicism (and) turns it into a woolly but disciplined ritual." The Rarity of Experience was a regular on year-end lists including Uncut (#38 Top 75 Albums of 2016), NPR Music (#87 Top 100 Songs of 2016), Aquarium Drunkard and many more.

Cake plates are easy to make and quite trendy right now. The best thing about them is you can make them out of almost anything and for pretty cheap. This trio cost me $5 total. Here is a Halloween version we made to hold our glitter pumpkins and add terror and glamour to my kitchen table.
I glued these wood candlesticks to the bottom of these smallish 4-6 inch plates using gorilla glue. I'm sure you could use hot glue or any other fancy shmancy glue that I'm clueless about.
Next I hosed them down with glossy black paint. I like the glossy because it makes the wood look ceramic and the piece has a uniform look.
I painted the tops of the plate as well (I don't plan on using these for food).
And here is my finished project lighted by my gothic chandelier.
Speaking of chandeliers...
I wanted to dress up my chandelier for the holiday. Make it more gothic and worthy of the Haunted Mansion.
I spray painted some cheap beads, draped black tule, and strips of fabric. Everything is held together at intervals with bows. As a last touch I added the boa around the center. I know this picture doesn't do it justice. But trust me it is awesome.
My kids made the ghosts from Kleenex and cotton balls. We strung them up with fishing string. I love the finished effect. So there you go - idiot proof crafts in less then an hour.

The Duke of York visits RNOH
HRH The Duke of York, Patron of the RNOH, visited us recently. HRH has been a dedicated supporter of the RNOH ever since his daughter, Princess Eugenie, underwent surgery on her spine to correct scoliosis (curvature of the spine) back in 2002. Since then, both the Duke and Princess Eugenie have lent their efforts in support of several campaigns to improve and update facilities at our hospital.
In October 2003, the Duke became Patron of the RNOH and Princess Eugenie has been equally active in her role as Patron of the RNOH Charity's Redevelopment Appeal, raising funds to improve facilities and increasing awareness of the vital work the hospital carries out.
HRH heard about the latest redevelopment plans and was given a tour of our new Children and Young People's outpatient department.

Volumetric particle modeling
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation presents a robust method of modeling objects and forces for computer animation. Within this method objects and forces are represented as particles. As in most modeling systems, the movement of objects is driven by physically based forces. The usage of particles, however, allows more artistically motivated behavior to be achieved and also allows the modeling of heterogeneous objects and objects in different state phases: solid, liquid or gas. By using invisible particles to propagate forces through the modeling environment complex behavior is achieved through the interaction of relatively simple components. In sum, 'macroscopic' behavior emerges from 'microscopic' modeling. We present a newly developed modeling framework expanding on related work. This framework allows objects and forces to be modeled using particle representations and provides the details on how objects are created, how they interact, and how they may be displayed. We present examples to demonstrate the viability and robustness of the developed method of modeling. They illustrate the breaking and fracturing of solids, the interaction of objects in different phase states, and the achievement of a reasonable balance between artistic and physically based behaviors.

Politics: Your Voice Matters
Editor's Note: This year's political race has been incredibly difficult, and has often brought out the divide in our country. But what is most important to remember is to vote. On November 8th, go vote. Let your voice be heard, no matter who you are voting for.
Words by Melissa Boles // Images by Kerry Layne Jeffrey
If you've never been involved in local politics, it's a little hard to understand why someone might want to put themselves there. Especially this year – politics probably looks like the last thing someone would want to do. We've had a dramatic year in politics, to say the least. I don't blame anyone for wanting to stay away from it.
Local politics can be different, though. It isn't always (we've had some of our own drama this year), but most of the time it's much easier to see your impact. In 2012, one of our State Senate candidates lost their race by 78 votes – that's the number of doors I can knock on in about two hours. When you call 25 volunteers and even half of them come in to help your candidate, that's an incredible feeling. Every time someone tells you they'll donate to or vote for your candidate, it can change your whole day.
I studied politics in college, and really loved studying and trying to learn about what was happening in our political atmosphere. I've found, though, that I've learned even more from working in the local politics. I've learned how to see people for who they really are, and how to tell when someone is (or isn't, in some cases) going to be a great politician. I'm certainly no expert, but as an observer – there are just things you pick up.
When I'm frustrated with the state of the world, I watch my favorite episode of The West Wing. It's called "The Stackhouse Filibuster," and it's about a Senator named Howard Stackhouse who filibusters the passing of a healthcare bill. As the episode continues, you learn more about why Senator Stackhouse executes the filibuster – because he wanted his voice to matter. And it does. I watch "The Stackhouse Filibuster" to remind myself that my voice matters.
But the thing that I've learned the most is that in order for my voice to matter, I have to use it. And so do you.
Using your voice can mean a lot of things, really. It can be voting, which is probably one of the most simple acts you can imagine. When you get your ballot in the mail (if you're a vote by mail state), fill it out right then. You should have a voters pamphlet, but if you don't you can call the local political parties and find out who they might be recommending.
If you're in a state where you have to go in on election day to vote, I encourage you to take the time to do it. In my state, we're a vote by mail state, so when I was in a different state for graduate school and had the opportunity to go in and vote, I took it. I hope you do too, no matter who you vote for. It's important.
Another way to use your voice is to get involved with a presidential campaign. Whichever one you choose, you have the opportunity to talk to people about why your candidate is important. Sometimes you're knocking on doors or making phone calls, and sometimes you're just entering data. No matter what, you're making an important statement. And that data entry is important – it allows campaign volunteers to make sure they're talking to the right people each year.
For me, the most important way to get involved (besides voting), is with your local political office. More often than not, it means you're working next to the candidates, and you really have the chance to tell them what you think. You also get to help influence what your community representatives look like. Some day, you might be sitting at a dinner with a local politician on either side of you, wanting to hear your story. It's an opportunity to share your vision of the future with them, and maybe work with them to get there.
Politics can be tough. People don't always want to talk about politics, so it's often a difficult door or phone conversation. It might even be an incredibly difficult conversation with your family or friends. I get that. But what I will tell you is this: every difficult moment is worth it when you realize you've been able to truly make a difference in a race that's important to you. It's a feeling I'll never forget, and I hope you get to experience it too.

Why do wrongful deaths occur?
Wrongful death is defined as the loss of an individual's life as a result of another individual's acts or omissions. Therefore, these cases are civil actions wherein a victim's family can file a lawsuit against a person or corporation who, through either their acts or omissions, caused the death of a loved one.
The Maryland laws that dictate who can bring a lawsuit for these case types are quite complicated; a qualified wrongful death attorney should be consulted by the family in order to determine which family members are eligible. Those who have lost a loved one due to the carelessness or negligence of a person have the right to pursue compensation. As a wrongful death lawyer in Baltimore MD, Greenberg Law Offices has been assisting victims' families for more than 50 years. Their wrongful death lawyers helped to recover millions on behalf of victims and provide free case evaluations. Call (410) 539-5250 to receive assistance from skilled legal professionals.
Types of Wrongful Death Claims
Medical Malpractice
Every year, thousands of patients die during, or as a result of, medical treatment: in fact, medical malpractice wrongful death is the leading cause of death in Maryland. When a victim dies from medical malpractice, the family of the deceased is left to deal with the overwhelming mental and emotional stress of the loss, a sudden decrease in the amount of love, emotional support, and caring that person provided, as well as significant financial burdens such as medical expenses and a decrease in the family's overall income.
In order to clearly define what medical malpractice wrongful death is, it is helpful to first understand the definition of each separate legal term. Medical malpractice deals with professional negligence and is defined as any act or omission by a physician or other trained healthcare professional during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms within the established medical community which results in an injury to the patient. Medical malpractice, therefore, can be when a healthcare professional does something that hurts a patient, such as making a mistake during a procedure, as well as failing to do something, such as not administering life-saving medication. An experienced wrongful death lawyer Baltimore MD may be able to help you file a lawsuit against the healthcare professional and get justice for your deceased family member.
Car accidents
When drivers are negligent, they are more likely to cause car accidents on the road. Examples of negligent driving include driving while texting, speeding, running a red light, and driving while under the influence. If a driver's negligent behavior led to your family member's death, you may be entitled to compensation. An experienced wrongful death lawyer Baltimore respects may be able to help you file a lawsuit against the driver and get justice for your deceased family member.
Intentional acts
An intentional act that leads to a wrongful death includes murder and manslaughter. If your loved one was intentionally killed by another person, you may have the right to sue that person through civil court and receive financial compensation. A skilled wrongful death lawyer Baltimore MD counts on may help you file a lawsuit and gather evidence you need to prove your case.
Product liability
Unsafe products are responsible for many deaths every year. When products are poorly designed or aren't tested properly, they can severely injure and even kill the people who use them. Examples of unsafe products include drugs that haven't been tested thoroughly and vehicles that have been poorly designed. If a harmful product has caused your family member's death, a Baltimore wrongful death lawyer may be able to help you bring a lawsuit against the company that made the product and obtain the compensation you deserve.
Workplace accidents
When there are dangerous conditions at a workplace, employees are more likely to get injured. In some cases, these dangerous workplace conditions can lead to deaths. For example, if an employee falls from an upper level or gets entangled in a machine, fatal injuries can occur. If one of your family members was killed at work, a wrongful death lawyer Baltimore MD depends on may help you bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the employer and get justice for your family member.
Toxic substances
Wrongful deaths can also occur from being exposed to toxic substances over time, such as asbestos. For example, if your family member worked for a company that used asbestos and died from an asbestos-related illness, you may be able to sue for wrongful death. Proving these type of cases can be difficult, so it may be essential to have an experienced attorney on your side.
Contact the Greenberg Law Offices Today
Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy and no amount of money can make up for the loss you have experienced. Very few law firms have the special expertise, the financial resources, and the years of experience to be successful with the demands of unique cases like yours. We understand what you're going through. We care about your day-to-day challenges, and the devastating impact on you and your family. And we'll fight for a fair verdict or settlement to hold accountable those who caused your suffering. Each year, other lawyers refer wrongful death cases because of our excellent reputation for holding insurance companies and their careless insureds fully accountable to the loved ones of those needlessly killed.

back to business (+ a fiddle leaf update)

YAY!! I'm so glad you're back! And I feel your pain...my fig tree did the EXACT same thing. I was on the verge of tears when the last leaf gave up the fight... but live and learn, I guess. ;)ReplyDelete
Loving your fiddle leaf! I killed my love fern so don't feel so bad. I heard they are very finicky plants. I can't wait for my feature tomorrow sweet pea! Glad to have you back, we all missed you!ReplyDelete

They are such hard plants to keep alive if the environment isn't right. My BFFs died, but I've managed to keep mine alive for a year. It's in a corner covered in windows, but tall trees outdoors keep in bathed in indirect sunlight all day and then I turn the thing regularly, close the vents in winter so the heat doesn't damage it and have a watering/fertilizing routine. I am not a plant lover, have a total black thumb, but I am doing everything I can to keep that investment plant from dying!ReplyDelete
Welcome back, dearie. Your little corner of the internet is waiting for you, warm and cozy, just like you left it. As for your poor plant, don't fret. You started off with a hard plant, is all. Try something that thrives in low light, or low moisture. Perhaps a hanging succulent in a cute urn of sorts? I know it's not as sexy/trendy as the fig, but maybe some success would feel good right about now. xoxoReplyDelete

Bill Binkert checking cables
About this image
Technical assistant Bill Binkert is seen here checking cables on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak. He is working on the cable junction boxes for the secondary mirror. People sometimes forget that an observatory requires many more specialities than just astronomers, who typically make up fewer than ten percent of an observatory staff. In fact, since observatories are usually isolated, they require most of the support needs of a small town, leading to many `careers in astronomy' that are not officially astronomy.

A few months ago we posted some lovely examples of outdoor-inspired men's wedding bands. This particular beauty by Epheriell stood out because of its really awesome gunmetal look. The matte effect comes from the fact that it's brushed, but the darkness is actually just oxidized silver, making it a beautiful ring for an even better price. The caveat: oxidized silver will return to its natural shiny state. The rate at which this happens depends on wear and the individual's body chemistry. But now for the good news: you can actually re-oxidize your ring right at home using eggs. We love this because you don't have to get mixed up with any nasty chemicals... though we have to warn you that your kitchen will probably have some stink with this method, but at least it's not harmful.
-a container with lid
-one or two eggs
-shiny, silver ring
STEP 1: Get hard (boiled).
This is pretty straight forward. We're not here to teach you how to hard boil eggs, but if you're unfamiliar with the process some quick Google-ing will get you squared away.
STEP 2: Scrub-a-dub-dub.
While your eggs are firming up, wash and dry the ring you'll be oxidizing with warm water and dish soap then dry it thoroughly. Make sure not to touch it with your hands after this. Any oil or residue or fingerprints on the ring will keep it from oxidizing evenly.
STEP 3: No touching.
When your eggs are done and ready to take out of the pot, you should forgo the typical step of cooling them (normally done to stop them from cooking further). This is because you want them hot and steamy so the sulfur vapors are at max penetration in your container. Peel and quarter each egg lengthwise and place each "slice" around the perimeter of your container yolk side up. Put your ring right in the middle. Again, don't touch the ring with your hands and also don't let any yolk touch it either. This will cause uneven oxidization and weird rainbow effects. However, maybe that's the look your going for, in which case forget what we said.
STEP 4: Waiting game.
Put the lid on your container and wait. You can start checking it after 40 minutes. We knew we wanted a darker look on our ring so we left it closed for 2 hours straight so as not to let any sulfur-y goodness escape.
STEP 5: Admire your craftiness.
Boom! Remove your ring, give it a rinse, and pat dry. You're ready to rock your re-oxidized ring once again!
Let us know how it goes if you try this method, we'd love to see how it turns out! See the image below for our results, lookin' good!

Millicent's Glamorous Life Is Demystified and Yet Remains Still Mystically Glamorous; Horse-mad, afternoon Guests Appear at Helvstead; Violent Gossiping; Intonations of Love Affairs, Past, Present and Future
During the war, as I watched Millicent stride off after one of our infrequent and unilluminating teas, I would speculate on her next rendezvous, who would be there, at which posh London club or restaurant it would take place. I imagined the conversation, food, frocks, cocktails. Cobbled together from pictures, information gleaned from Debrett's, gossip columns and further inflamed by the cinema of my youth, I'd envisioned Millicent's life for so long, my imaginings seemed quite real: Millicent at Ascot in a soignée hat; Millicent surrounded by friends and admirers at a ball; Millicent at the hunt leaning over a horse, urging it faster, whipping its gleaming flanks with the crop; Millicent in black evening frock glittering with crystal, popping open a bottle of champagne while fireworks went off behind her; Millicent at the weekend party of a film star; Millicent at the Dumfries hunt in impeccably cut red coat. In these imaginings, she was laughing, always laughing, a sound that resonated with every last privilege her life had contained and did nothing protect others from it.
Finally at Helvstead, I had a perfect vantage point to observe this life, to satisfy all the years of ravening curiosity, to see what seemed hard to imagine, especially through my father's conscientious eyes: how she could be so busy, so very busy, without husband, children or family, duty or obligation or even particular purpose, besides mapping out her own will against the day, every day.
After only a few weeks and then more months wore on, my expectations dissipated like ginger fizz and stuck me as marked with humiliating transparency by my own longings and worse still, by how very little I had known her. She was often out in the world, that much I was right about, lunching, riding, hunting, driving, going to parties, ever-certain of the inevitability of the next moment's entertainment, and that it should bring pleasure or distraction, and no compunction about abandoning it the moment it no longer did so. Her acquaintances, too, were as glamorous as I had imagined. But I hadn't realized how little she liked society and seemed to derive no particular pleasure or importance from the exalted circles in which she ran, and her days, were simply that—days—even if they contained impressive company. She woke, she read the paper, she talked on the phone. It was quite odd really.
Sometimes I would find Millicent sitting on the sofa in the afternoon room, reading the paper, casually wearing a thick silk kimono, obviously worth a king's ransom, and a pair of fading red plimsoles, a relic leftover from Millifield as a girl, hair tied haphazardly in her favorite gold Hermes scarf, smoking, and drinking a frothy concoction of Molly's involving hot milk, cream, honey, egg and cinnamon. Millicent appeared softer then, nearly frowsy, her eyes almost slits against the smoke of her cigarette as she read, resembling, if only a second, a Kensington housewife. And then the phone would ring and soon enough she would be Millicent again; beautiful and indomitable Millicent, out the door for a weekend in the country with the adult children that were the bane of a prominent industrialist or a famous theater actor.
In that maddening way of life, I had been both essentially right and essentially wrong; she could never have been as glamorous as I'd imagined; but then again, she was.
To observe that Millicent was the rare woman under little obligation to the world isn't to say the world didn't pursue her, often in earnest. The phone rang and the post overflowed with invitations to parties and dinners, hunts and balls. Occasionally a reporter might call:
"Helvstead?" I heard her snort on the phone. "Darling, you must be joking. Anyway, I make bad copy these days—dull as dishwater if you haven't heard. No, you may not quote me, and if you do I'll happily pull a few strings to see you're out on your ear. So be a good little boy and go play somewhere else."
Millicent rung off, a protesting voice still buzzing on the other end. "Young idiot."
"Why not?"
"Why not what?" Millicent poured herself a gin and tonic.
"Why not let them do a story about Helvstead?"
My voice was a bit high, I suppose, fearful somehow it was my unremarkable presence had caused her to put off the journalist. Millicent shrugged.
"What could be more tedious," she said settling on the sofa. "I'd like to see them try to make Helvstead the Sunday spread. Anyway, there's no reason anymore, is there, with us being the last of the Clives. Besides," she added, putting her drink on the coffee table, "I'm keeping a low profile these days."
I wouldn't know, till later, how deliberate this was.
The one constant in Millicent's life was riding. I would see her come over the fields on Cyclamen, her favorite, disappear over a rise, only to come up another, further, grassy swell, streaking over the fields, sometimes accompanied by riders, but often alone. She'd return after a few hours, snapping her crop against her boots to dislodge the mud, calling for Lucy to bring her a drink, falling into the divan with a sigh of satisfaction. She might ride to other estates, ten, twenty, even thirty miles away which I only determined by looking it up on a map; boasting never could be counted among Millicent's faults.
One night after waking from an unpleasant dream, I came out into the hall to find Millicent, hair and coat soaked with rain, pulling off her boots. Startled, I spoke more sharply than usual.
"Millicent! Whatever are you doing?"
She looked up, not at all disconcerted, thumping the second boot down next to the first.
"I could ask you the same thing, Ramona."
"I couldn't sleep. Just got up to get some hot milk with rum."
She shuddered. "Sounds worse than insomnia."
"You're soaking," I said.
She shrugged at the obviousness of this statement and peeled off a coat to reveal a ball gown, of Grecian design, breathtaking, even in its sodden state, an exquisite shade of lavender, both delicate and deep. I remembered the bill, the description of crystal beading and chiffon, the astonishing number tallied at the bottom.
"Oh, I went to the Callaway's—Lord and Lady Ptomaine as I call them—Christ, they are a bothersome bunch. They do have a nice lay-in, though. I haven't had brandy like that since Vivien took me to some very obscure monastery in the Alps."
"You didn't stay over?" I gestured outside.
"Oh, well. Jack Parfar and I had been playing bridge, and then wifey appeared— " She laughed at my expression. "None of that, Miss Bright. What an evil mind, you have. Just like her apparently." She knocked mud off her boot. "Couldn't bear the boredom of yet another scene."
"So you just…left?"
Millicent nodded.
"But that must be twenty miles! And in this rain!" I couldn't say if the shrill in my voice was censure, marvel, or envy.
"Don't be a juggins, Ramona," Millicent said. "And you needn't look at me like I'm some swashbuckling bradaggio. I've been riding around this county since I was an infant, if you'll remember. I hadn't my car, so it only made sense. I let the groomsman know—after Jackie's behavior with Cyclamen last New Year's he, frankly, doesn't have a leg to stand on. Now, do go on and get your gin and pabulum."
I crept down the stairs and made my hot milky drink. By the time I returned upstairs the hall stood empty, although it still smelled of rain.
Eventually and perhaps inevitably Millicent's social circle appeared at Helvstead. She kept to her word, for there was no formal entertaining. But occasionally, her set might come in for a tea or break when it rained during their riding. There was little warning; they came through a side door, suddenly tromping into the morning room in their riding boots and coats, smelling of the outdoors, leather and horses, far more at home than I had ever been.
After their initial visit, where a plate of lemon squares had stood untouched, I told Lucy to have some heartier fare on hand, like cheese straws, pickled walnuts and crisps: things that went better with a drink, for if the sweets had remained untouched a good deal of gin had disappeared. Millicent sorted through a few bottles at the bar, grimaced, and told me to restock and within a few days an encyclopedic array of spirits was laid in, proof in those days of lingering rations, the Clive name still held plenty of sway in the county.
The crowd was some configuration of at least two or three, and sometimes all, of the following persons: Lord Peterson, a tall, bald, man in his late fifties with a perpetually thunderous expression, who must have been extraordinarily handsome as a young man; his wife, a good twenty years younger, fair and blue-eyed, and much sharper than I think he realized; a short, sallow woman who possessed the most amazing face, like some wily and dissipated Russian countess although from the general conversation I knew her to be from Herefordshire and her name to be Mrs. Blotte-Tingle; Thisbe and Gervaise Willow, a couple who had the good sense to not only be beautiful, but clever, well-born, highly educated, and extremely rich; both were in their thirties, and masters of a subtle but no less excoriating style of gossip I hadn't been privy to before; a round genial fair man, Lord Bainbridge Tarris, neighbor to Helvstead, who I gathered to be very rich; and a cousin of the Willows, a Commander L. N. Charles, who no one called anything but Commander Charles, that I eventually realized was Reggie's lover; and Selena Squireton, woman in her forties whose quiet gentle voice, large doe eyes and wistful beauty, was at odds with a venomous tongue.
If I did manage to hear them coming in, I attempted to appear in medias res, brow furrowed, papers in hand, as if I just happened to be leaving or, when cornered, sat at the desk, feigning great absorption in the numbers before me, willing myself invisible. Commander Charles might silently place a cordial by my desk, giving a mock-solemn nod to my thank you.
On the whole though, I needn't have worried; my presence was too inconsequential to be either be the hindrance or irritant I feared. Someone would occasionally demand to know what I was doing and, aware I didn't want to sound fulsome (Millicent would have certainly made a scorching remark if I'd enthused about doing the bills) nor martyred (for the same reason), and, conscious that much of what I did involved Millicent's private financial matters, and as a result was rather incoherent. But they had no real interest, and Millicent most often would draw their attention elsewhere, it didn't matter particularly.
They discussed politics, art, riding, architecture and history and in most discerning tones, but the spokes of this wheel of conversation originated from a hub that was gossip, gossip so refined to be an art form. Millicent, I noticed, seemed acclimated to this atmosphere of ruthless speculation, but often appeared restless, and the first to suggest they return to the horses. It occurred to me that however effortlessly she inhabited the same sphere as these people, she didn't like them particularly. At most, she tolerated them except for Commander Charles; if she hadn't told me of Reggie, I might have wondered if they were lovers. They often exchanged a glance over the other's heads in the signals of private jokes; he refilled her drink, and she his, in a manner that bespoke intimacy.
"Damned shame about the Anderson's," Lord Peterson bellowed one day over a hot toddy, as he was wont to do. Millicent had explained too much shooting in the war had left him a bit deaf.
"Beaky Farrington called Billy a mountebank," said Gervaise Lynch. "I thought he was going to call him out in a duel the other night."
"'Unregenerate monster' is what I believe he said," drawled his wife.
"Sounds more like the whiskey and soda talking; one never can tell with Beaky." Selena Squireton said. "Well, I don't blame Anderson—"
"Coo!" shouted Commander Charles. "You simply don't mean it. Not with the child being so terribly ill."
"Well, imagine having to come home to that dreariness, every night. She doesn't even bother to keep herself up anymore. Looks like some grubby little housewife. No thanks, kiddies. I'd have run off with my cousin's parlor maid too."
"I don't know which of you callous monsters frightens me more," said Mrs. Blotte-Tingle, looking not in the least perturbed. "But he'll loose the fortune, if he flies. Come, Millie, what to you think, will Anderson be a complete fool and marry the chit?"
Millicent stared out the window, smoking, oblivious.
"I say, old girl! Millicent. Millicent!" Lord Bainbridge Tarris called.
Millicent turned. "Good god, what is it?"
Bainbridge Tarris snorted and exchanged a glance with the rest. "Rather hard to get your attention Millie my girl," he said. "Something on your mind, eh?"
"A love affair!" said Mrs. Blotte-Tingle, in a voice ripe as Stilton with interest.
I couldn't help but turn. I had been wondering the same thing after our visit to the Quai. There had been a few phone calls, late, I couldn't quite hear. A letter with no return address. And a very expensive box of candy, left by the side of her bed, opened but untouched: chocolate shells, something I knew she didn't like, but imagined a lover sending to her in hopes of pleasing. Small things, but I'd wondered.
The voices chimed in. "Naughty one!"
"Who he is, you sly fox?"
"Tell, tell!"
"Couldn't be me finding the company a bit dull, I suppose?" Millicent stubbed out her cigarette and glanced up to find their collective gaze on her. "Look at you lot! Like wolves at a butcher shop! Don't give me the gimlet eye, Lord Bainbridge, I know what you're on about."
"But you're not denying a love affair are you, darling?" said Thisbe, with a knowing voice that I would have found infuriating.
"But I believe I am, 'darling,'" Millicent said. "But if I were, do you think I'd tell the likes of you?"
"Just having some fun, then eh," prompted Bainbridge. "Deuced odd thing, you without a man. Must be a fellow somewhere."
"Bainbridge, you always can be relied upon to" Millicent said.
"Ha! You're not one to go without—"
"To be prurient," she said. "So, what have I missed of such all-fired importance? Beaky blatting about the Andersons? Well: kettle, pot, black, wouldn't you say—?"
"I know a man who'd like to meet you," Bainbridge interrupted.
"Oh, don't be tiresome, Bainbridge," Millicent said.
"You'll not take that tone with me, when you hear his name, I'll wager."
Bending over to light his cigar, he took her silence for encouragement; he didn't see her expression, the arctic look of boredom.
"Lord Larson. Not that grotty failed biscuit-maker—diamond mines, girlie. Comes to my club, doesn't he? Thinks you're very attractive, m'dear, and is quite interested in…knowing more, shall we say."
I was a little shocked at the lewdness underneath his playful tone. I forget how those of her own set would speak to her with little fear of banishment from her orbit.
"And you told him I'd screw anything in pants that's got over fifty thousand a year, I expect," She rejoined. "And you'd arrange the whole thing and get a little vicarious pleasure for yourself. How very jolly for everyone."
His handsome jowly face grew startled then affronted.
"I said no such thing." He brushed an imaginary crumb off his lap. "Besides it most certainly isn't true. Fifty a year," He grumbled. "I ought to know."
Millicent laughed, as did everyone. "Yes, you know it, don't you Bainbridge, dear. Anyway, you're not fooling anyone. You've had your eye on Pippa Depillar for years. You play the salty old dog, but we all know better."
To my surprise his voice changed, growing serious. "I don't know what you mean."
"You are pathetically transparent," Millicent said.
"I have nothing but the highest regard for Pippa Depillar."
"That's not all you have for Mrs. Depillar, I'd say," said the husband of the couple, and another ripple of amusement passed through the group.
"I don't like your jokes," Bainbridge said, tugging his cuffs.
"Relax, Bainbridge. No one's suggesting anything," Commander Charles said. "Well, that's not quite true: no one suggesting anything's actually transpired."
"Yes. But," Gervaise tossed in an olive to his drink. "That's why our man's so touchy."
His wife chortled.
Bainbridge's face darkened. "You may think it amusing to speak in that way of a decent married woman—"
"Oh, for heaven's sake," Millicent said. "Do shut up, all of you. If Bainbridge believes dear Pippa's honor has been impugned we'll never hear the last." She faced him. "We're simply laughing at your pathetic, and apparently inexhaustible, schoolboy devotion to a woman who has never looked at you twice, or if so, only for your fortune." Her voice grew less sharp. "You really are an unlikely sort to be cast as the lover, Bainbridge, even you must see that." She turned to me. "Ramona! Would you mind going in and seeing what is taking Lucy so infernally long? Perhaps some tea will silence the caviling, gossip-mongering swine that seem to be cluttering up the morning room."
An awkward moment followed where it seemed someone might take offense; but it passed, then laughter, perhaps with a tinge of reluctant admiration. And, I noticed, the question of Millicent's love life had been effectively cancelled by mentioning Pippa Depillar.
I tried to catch Millicent's eye as I left, but she didn't notice; I don't know why I expected her to.
The next morning after breakfast I attempted to wind the conversation round to the previous afternoon.
"Was the rest of your ride pleasant? Seemed like Lord Bainbridge Tarris…well, the conversation got the wind up yesterday."
"Bainbridge has had that ridiculous pash for Pippa Depillar since he was at schools."
I had meant the other source of contention, but she was already continuing:
"He told me about it once, when he was sozzled. Something about Pippa and he caught in the rain at a boathouse, when they were thirteen, led to some grubby game of doctor from which he's never recovered. Why men can be such sentimental idiots I never will understand."
I sighed and looked out the window. "I suppose it's difficult, when you're truly mad for someone."
Millicent raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Are you nursing some secret ungovernable passions, Ramona?"
Her incredulity stung, all the more for its aptness. There was no one; there was no one I even longed for hopelessly.
"Of course not," I replied, bending over to pick up a thread on the rug.
"Never mind. Oh, I do hate when you look like that. Noble reproach! All right, all right! No doubt I've trampled all over some horribly sensitive area. I'd rather hoped you hadn't so very many such areas as you used to, but just wishful thinking, obviously."
She paused, glancing back over at me.
"That was a very bad apology, wasn't it?" she shook her head. "That lot gets to me and all this talk of love makes it worse. Let's pretend it never happened, shall we?"

Click on the image below to be directed to a page where you can download the art in a variety of sizes!
K is for King Cake
The New Orleans descendant of the French Galette des Rois, this yeast-risen cake is characiterized by its rich (usually cream cheese, praline, or both) filling and thick glaze (glaze rather than frosting is ok in this case, because of said rich filling). It crops up in bakeries after the Epiphany, and remains a stock item until Fat Tuesday (a final last hurrah before the restraint of Lent). Oh, and it also has a prize--a feve--usually a little naked baby inside. But approach prize-seeking carefully, 'cos while whoever finds the prize is declared King, that person is assigned to buy the cake next time.

Kidd Kraddick Dies At Age 53
[UPDATE] Early indications from the Jefferson Parish Coroner's office say radio personality Kidd Kraddick died from heart disease.
[ORIGINAL] Multiple news outlets are reporting that nationally-syndicated morning show host Kidd Kraddick has died. The cause of his death has not yet been determined.
Kraddick, whose real name is David Cradick, has been a staple in the radio industry, particularly in North Texas since the mid-1980s and could be heard in the Shreveport-Bossier area every morning on KEEL's sister station, K945.
According to KXAS-TV's Scott Gordon:
One theory:
A peculiar note about his death is the fact it came about a week after he did a bit on his show about deathbed confessions. Managers of the Kidd Kraddick YouTube account has since made that video private.
YEA! Networks, which syndicates Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, has released the following statement:
All of us with YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader. Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children. Kidd passed away today in New Orleans at a golf tournament organized to raise money for his beloved Kidd's Kids charity. He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him. We ask that you respect the privacy of his family and his colleagues. At the appropriate time, we will release more information about the cause of death.
The radio host has won many awards for his work, including a Marconi Award in 2006.
Kraddick was divorced and had one daughter.

Crime - Sacto 911
Man killed in home invasion identified by Sacramento coroner
The Sacramento County Coroner's office has released the name of the man killed Tuesday night in a home invasion shooting in a neighborhood near Highway 99 and Calvine Road.
The coroner's website identified the dead man as Byron Darbonne, 45, of Sacramento.
He was killed around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday when two armed men entered a home in the 8200 block of Auberry Drive. The intruders, who were unknown to a female also in the house, shot Darbonne and then fled.
The female was able to flee out the back door of the home to safety.
When deputies arrived at the scene they first had to make sure nobody was still inside. Once they entered the home, they found Darbonne had died from his injuries.
Homicide detectives are working to determine a motive for the killing and a description of the killers. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's department at (916) 874-5115.

Every once in awhile I kinda blow a fuse. Too much work and not enough play.
So Im going to take it a bit slower and smell the roses a bit more.
The store is super busy and i can afford some extra help. Hired a third part timer.
I just got my project Superfly (pics soon) and Im going to ride it a lot.
And maybe slow done on this blog a bit too. Ive said that before.
But really, Im going to spend more time out of the store for awhile. And that means riding more. And that means posting about riding more.
I guess I would not mind that.
Have a great Holiday. Next post maybe friday.

When Pradaxa (dabigatran) hit the market in October 2010, you would think it was the next best thing to sliced bread.
For more than 50 years, Coumadin (warfarin) was the standard treatment when there were early indications that someone could suffer a stroke or heart attack. A diagnosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation, or an irregular heartbeat, almost always earned a prescription for Coumadin as did a diagnosis of thrombosis or thromboembolism, blood clots in blood vessels that can migrate elsewhere.
Warfarin was actually marketed as a successful rat poison in 1948 after it was noted that the rats would bleed out after ingesting it.
Derived from spoiled sweet clover, Coumadin is present in many plants and as far back as the 1920's it was noted that many cows died after eating moldy sweet clover. Scientists at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) helped turn the plant-based drug into a popular therapeutic anticoagulant and are responsible for the name, warfarin.
In a high profile case, President Dwight Eisenhower was prescribed warfarin after he suffered a heart attack in 1955.
In humans, Coumadin has been the standard treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation since 1954. However, there was a drawback. Patients would have to have their blood monitored regularly to make sure their levels were appropriate so they too did not bleed out and die. This took some maintenance and for some it was a mild hassle. For others, it was an inconvenience to the point of being impractical.
Then Pradaxa entered the market in 2010. Manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, the main sales pitch for the new anticoagulant was that you didn't need to monitor your blood.
Even the European Society of Cardiology last week praised Pradaxa as a treatment for atrial fibrillation. One has to wonder why the Society would say the drug offers "efficacy, safety and convenience" when compared to the standard therapy of Coumadin.
That's because there is one main difference between the drugs that never made its way into the glossy brochures that pharmaceutical sales representatives drop off at doctor's offices.
Unlike Coumadin, Pradaxa does not have an antidote. In a bleeding situation, a patient on Coumadin could be injected with vitamin K causing their blood to coagulate. With Pradaxa, vitamin K is ineffective. Patients taking Pradaxa also report gastrointestinal (GI) upset, particularly those patients over the age of 75.
Boehringer Ingelheim confirmed 260 fatal bleed outs between March 2008 and October 2011 among patients taking Pradaxa. In 2011 alone, there were close to 3,000 reports linking uncontrolled bleeding to Pradaxa use.
One has to wonder why the Society did not recognize the uncontrolled bleeding potential of Pradaxa, which is the subject now of multidistrict litigation (MDL), consolidated by a judicial panel on August 8.
And just last week, doctors from American University in Lebanon urged doctors to use caution in prescribing Pradaxa because of numerous reports of complications including internal bleeding and kidney failure.
Could it be that Pradaxa costs patients more than ten times the amount of a warfarin regimen?
About 75,000 doctors are members of the European Society of Cardiology, so this recommendation has a lot of potential value to the makers of Pradaxa.
Atrial fibrillation affects an average of 2 percent of the population, with most users falling between the ages of 75 to 85. An irregular heartbeat is associated with a fivefold increased risk of stroke and threefold higher risk of heart problems, according to the authors of the guideline and endorsement from St. George's University of London.
The FDA meanwhile has the drug on its radar and is trying to determine whether reports of Pradaxa bleeding are occurring more often than suggested by the large clinical trial conducted by the drugmaker.

Interesting thoughts from Jon Stokes – In the Cloud, There is No Sudo:
I'm an admin now for three Google Apps for Business accounts, and I've had some headaches recently with all three of them. So far, all of my problems seem to have arisen from errors on Google's end, and as I went 'round and 'round with support for Google, Postini, and Spanning Backup, I got a first-hand reminder of one of the major reasons why so many IT pros are reluctant to jump on the cloud: as the title of this post says, in the cloud there is no sudo. Or if there is a sudo, then you don't know the password. This is one very good reason why people who are accustomed to being super-users can sometimes panic when faced with the prospect of a public cloud migration.

7-16-2014 – 9:07 AM – Currently on Mammoth Mountain we have cloudy skies with thick sub tropical moisture in place. We also have light winds to 5 mph and temperatures are in the 60's.

Let's pray these storm bring in some heavy rains the next two days. We have had off and on showers over the last week but still nothing has been soaking down into the dry dirt at this point. The best part of the rain has been the washing away pollen and dust in the area.

Our own funky musical! Fot the last time on 7th April 2018
7th April 2018 at 7 pm in Main Hall
Švandovo Theatre presents an industrial musical about unfulfilled love and sorted waste. A story about a Prague miracle, a story about every boy´s dream. Every boy wants to be a dustman. There will be five dustmen in our play - gentlemen Miroslav Hruška, Robert Jašków, Tomáš Pavelka, Patrik Děrgel and Tomáš Červinek will show the audience that the ensemble of Švandovo Theatre can not only act but also sing and dance. The author of the music for our "slightly different" musical is the legendary Roman Holý, leader of Monkey Business and J.A.R.. This original Czech musical was created especially for Švandovo Theatre.


text: Recently, I have kept returning to the idea of Emancipation. My hope for sexual assault survivors, who are willing to speak their truth amidst their pain and hard work, is that there is healing. Not just for themselves, but for this culture that would still rather keep the secrets of abusers than hear the cry of those assaulted.

Me & My Girlfriend
Sheeit, ju motherfuckin right
I'm the bitch that's keepin it live and keepin it hot
when you punk ass niggaz don't
Nigga Westside, WHAT! Bring it on
Look for me
Lost in the whirlwind, ninety-six, Bonnie and Clyde
Me and my girlfriend, do one-eighty-five when we ride
Trapped in this world of sin, born as a ghetto child
Raised in this whirlwind (c'mon)
Our childhood years recall the tears heart laced with venom
Smokin sherm, drinkin malt liquor, father forgive her
Me and my girlfriend, hustlin, fell in love with the struggle
Hands on the steering wheel, blush, while she bail out bustin
Fuck em all, watch em fall screamin, automatic gunfire
exorcisin all demons
Mafias on the side, my congregation high, ready to die
We bail out to take the jail back, niggaz united
Our first date, couldn't wait to see you naked
Touch you in every secret place, I can hardly wait
to bust freely, got you red hot, you so happy to see me
Make the frontpage primetime live on TV
Nigga my girlfriend, baby forty-five but she still live
One shot make a nigga's heartbeat stop
What!! I'm bustin on you punk ass niggaz *automatic gunfire*
Run nigga run! *gunfire* I'm on yo' ass nigga! *gunfire continues*
Run nigga, duck and hide! Nigga I'm bustin all you bitches!
Run nigga, yeah! Westside! Uh uh uh! Die nigga die!
My girlfriend, blacker than the darkest night
When niggaz act bitch-made she got the heart to fight
Nigga my girlfriend, though we seperated at times
I knew deep inside, baby girl would always be mine
Picked you up when you was nine, started out my life of crime
wit you, bought you some shells when you turned twenty-two
It's true, nothin compares to the satisfaction
that I feel when we out mashin, me and my girlfriend
Chorus: Tupac
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
Down to ride to the bloody end, just me and my girlfriend
(repeat 2X)
I was too immature
to understand your ways, inexperienced back in the days
Caused so many arguments and strays
Now I realize how to treat ya, the secret to keep ya
Bein faithful now cause now cheatin's lethal
We closer than the hands of time, deeper than the drop of mankind
I trust you dearly, I shoot blind
In time I clock figures, droppin niggaz as we rise
We all soldiers in God's eyes -- now it's time for war
Never leave me baby, I'm paranoid, sleepin witcha
loaded by my bedside crazy
Jealous when you hang wit the fellas, I wait patiently alone
anticipated for the moment you come home
I'm waitin by the phone this is true love, I can feel it
I've had a lot of women in my bed, but you the realeast
So if you ever need me call, I'll be there through it all
You're the reason I can stand tall, me and my girlfriend
I love finger fuckin you, all of a sudden I'm hearin thunder
When you bust a nut, niggaz be duckin or takin numbers
Love to watch you at a block party, beggin for drama
While unleashin on the old timers, that's on my mama
I would trade my life for yours, behind closed doors
the only girl that I adore, everything I'm askin for
Talkin to me beggin me to just, take you around
Seventeen like Brandy you just Wanna Be Down
Talkin loud when I tell you be quiet you move the crowd
Bustin rounds, activatin a riot, that's why I love you so
No control, down to roll, unleash
After a hit you break apart, then back to one piece
Much love to my one and only girlfriend, the world is ours
Just hold me down, baby witness the power
Never leave a nigga alone, I love you black or chrome
Turn this house into a happy home, me and my girlfriend
Chorus 3X
Lost in the whirlwind, ninety-six, Bonnie and Clyde
Me and my girlfriend, do one-eighty-five when we ride
Trapped in this world of sin, born as a ghetto child
Raised in the whirlwind -- look for me
(repeat 3X)
Lost in the whirlwind, ninety-six, Bonnie and Clyde
Me and my girlfriend
(repeat 2X)

Sparkle has become known for her sage advice. She is Dear Abby with claws! .... OMC, what a wonderful book! It's one every cat should read and re-read. And one would hope that their human beans (whether they call them food humans, staff, assistants, owners, or whatever) will read Dear Sparkle and learn a little something, too.
Dear Sparkle is packed with information, so helpful to the kitties who wrote to her for advice. The book covers every imaginable topic, from how to hang onto your cat tree to how persistence can work to any cat's advantage when training a human bean.
Not only is the book filled with informative questions and answers, but you'll also enjoy the Sparkle Says sidebars, such as "Sparkle Says: The unblinking kitty stare... a good way to unnerve your humans and keep them on their toes."
Believe me, kitty pals, you're going to want to read this book and learn all the inside scoop. and for those of you who don't read, there are plenty of beautiful pictures of Sparkle illustrating the points she makes in the text.
About the Author

I highly recommend this book. In fact. on a scale of one to four paws, I'm giving it a rating of 4 paws and am throwing in my tail as extra credit. Nice job Sparkle!

The Old Airport in Sharjah
Some pictures of the old Sharjah Airport (as I promised, Mick).
This took me a while to find, eventually found a book with an aerial photo, and took the bearings from there, looked out of the window and found I was standing above where the old runway was (now a road) and the tower was 200m away!!! The tower was used as a pub for some time, before Sharjah became dry. It was damaged by fire as well, and is now being restored to house an aviation museum. The fort next door will be part of the museum. Recent pics taken a couple of days ago appear below, and I'll scan the old aerial picture from the book later. Yeah I know...some of the pics below are missing.

Did you know the celtic knot pattern can be found in designs reaching as far back as the middle ages? The interwoven, neverending line is meant to represent an everlasting love. Of course, if you are not into that kind of historical information, it is also very asthetically pleasing.
The 3/4 inch diameter pendant (shown in teal) can be customized with a center color blend of your choice. See 5th picture for color choices. Available on your choice of a stainless steel chain or black leather cord with stainless steel clasps in lengths from 16" to 20". The necklace ships in a Loralyn Designs box. Great for gift giving!
Check out our color chart (5th picture of this listing). To order with a different center color, choose the color code from the drop down arrow above before checking out.

When you think of art, you likely think about the artistic process: highly creative people pouring out their talent and hard work on a canvas or stage. What doesn't necessarily come to mind is everything else it takes to bring a piece of work from artist to viewer—an important job belonging to art administrators. They're the brains of the business, connecting artists, dealers, agents, and venues to make sure the right art gets the right spotlight. While the job does take some serious planning and organisational work, there's a creative side too—which means that if you've always wanted to be involved in the art scene but haven't the raw talent, this might be your place to shine.
A course in art administration is a great way to see if the field is for you, and if it is, get started on a career. Courses vary in availability, price, and location, so there's bound to be one perfect to fit your schedule and goals.
What makes a great arts administrator?
Think you might be up for the task? Arts administrators have many great qualities, but most importantly, they're organised—after all, their main responsibility is to connect people. They're well-spoken, well-written, and meet deadlines promptly. Another trait of good arts administrators is their ability to get people to work together—especially important when organising events, setting up residencies, and connecting artists, buyers and audiences.
Who should take an arts administration course?
If the above qualities are ones you possess, you might just be a perfect fit for the job! Taking a course is a great first step, as completing one can qualify you for more training or formal education programmes. What's more, taking a course can also help you move up in the ranks, especially if you're working in a small arts organisation. Taking a course is a great way to get the qualification and confidence you need to take the leap and go after your career goals.
What should I expect from a course?
Every course is unique however there are a few topics essential to becoming an arts administrator that will be covered in most, if not all, courses. You'll get a great handle on the business side of things, whether that includes setting budgets, writing contracts and grants, project management, or media and audience development. Being an arts administrator isn't all numbers and spreadsheets, though—you'll hone your creative eye and learn to create engaging and beautiful displays, exhibitions, and events.
Where can this take me?
A course in arts administration opens more doors than you'd think. It can give a current artist a way to stay involved in the arts without being directly involved in the creation and production side. Moreover, with the right course, you can qualify for more training and education in the subject at a range of universities. If you're already working in arts administration, a course can help you get that extra leg up on a promotion or a new career move.
Fun facts:
76% of English adults engaged in the arts in the last 12 months, making the arts an extremely valuable part of British life.
Danny Boyle of Slumdog Millionaire fame, Lee Hall of The Pitmen Painters, and Stephen Daldry of Billy Elliot all started out in Arts Council-funded organisations.

Chapter 6: The World-Scope of God's Law
Though many may at this point feel convinced about the theonomic thesis in private use, the general controversy occurs during the discussion of scope. Many may accept the application of the Mosaic law in their private life, home and even church while still struggling with the global ramifications of the theonomic argument.
This is where I have found myself personally over the last couple months. This chapter is good but simple.
God's Law and Israel
The first and strongest argument against the scope of God's law always deals with Israel. The Mosaic law was quite clearly given to the people of Israel. It can even be said it has been given exclusively to the people of Israel. But that isn't the same as saying the scope is limited to Israel.
There are multiple different ways that this argument is presented. Many of these arguments are fleshed out more and answered directly by Greg Bahnsen in a series on Theonomic Critics. In particular lectures three and five contain strong arguments that involve God's special relationship with Israel during the Old Testament.
Mosaic Law and the Nations
This sections consists of five responses to this general argument. Three of them will be discussed today and two will be discussed later. There is also a fine exposition at the end of the chapter that deserves some special attention.
1. Confusions of Moral Commandments and Covenant Form.
This is almost the same as saying one must maintain the distinction between the moral commandments given to Israel and their special ceremonial commandments given under the Mosaic Covenant. Mr Gentry cites a few moral commandments that transcend the covenants: murder (Exo 20:13; Rom 1:29), theft (Exo 20:15; 1 Cor 6:9-10), etc..
The continuation of these is not in question for most Christians. But the confusion comes with where the Judicial commandments fall. Do they belong to the ceremonial/covenant commandments that are fulfilled in Christ? Or are they an explication of the moral commandments?
There are multiple passages that affirm this distinction in the law and God's preference towards one over the other (Hose 6:6; 1 Sam 15:22; Psa 51:14-17). The Theonomic thesis claims that the Judicial laws are part of God's moral commandments that have not change in the New Covenant era. If these are moral commandments then one cannot expect the scope to be solely limited to Israel.
2. God's Law is in Fact Designed to be a Model for the Nations.
This one is for all the BCVs people out there: Deuteronomy 4:5-8.
So in fact the model God gave in Israel was suppose to provoke the nations to copy it. There are two distinct thoughts that can come out of this. The first is that the church is now the better model. But this doesn't make sense since a nation can't copy the church (especially Baptist churches lol).
The second thought is that the this model would only accomplish this promise as it was fulfilled in Spirit-filled Christians who truly kept the law out of love for God. The promises of the New Covenant and the law being written on hearts seems to point to this perspective (Jer 31:33).
In either case it is clear that God desired for Israel to follow this commandments for blessing. And not a temporary blessing but one of longevity (Deut 4:40; 12:28; etc). It is hard to argue that God gave a model for national success but does not desire any modern nation to follow it or receive similar blessing. In fact disobedience of this law brings curses and destruction (Deut 28:15, 49-50, 63-65). The Old Testament model does not seem to leave middle ground for another source of law. Mr Gentry had much more to say in this section but I've got to cut it off somewhere! :-)
3. The Nations are Often Judged for Disobeying the Law.
This is a collage of Book-Chapter-Verse arguments. The first is simple: Lev 18:24-27. The people in the land before Israel were expelled because they did not obey the law. Likewise, in a couple places the prophets pronounce condemnation upon foreign nations for disobeying things found in the law (Amos 1:6; Hab 2:6). The greatest of these is found in Sodom and Gomorrah (Deut 19:4-8; Jude 1:7; Gen 19:13, 24). One can even add the fear of Cain to the list that points to "non-Israelites" needing to conform to the law before it was explicitly given (Gen 4:14).
It in fact is Leviticus 18 in conjunction with Rom 1:32; 2:12-16 that convinced me of this portion of the theonomic thesis. But we'll address more of Mr Gentry's arguments later.
