Anna Jones' big bank holiday brunch
Long lazy weekends call for long lazy breakfasts, says Anna Jones. Especially when they involve big pancake stacks, french toast and Turkish eggs
Added on
I love a long summer lunch or a family roast, but the one thing I treasure most is more time at the weekend and the space it gives me to make a brilliant breakfast or brunch.
Since my childhood days in California I've been a breakfast person. My childhood memories are of stacked high maple butter pancakes and perfectly scrambled eggs on the table while Mum and Dad sipped mimosa or Harvey Wallbangers in the sunshine. It was a bit like waking up to a party and I think I've been trying to recreate it ever since. It seemed much more fun than the more serious stuff that happened at dinner time and for a little girl with a sweet tooth the green flag to eat a pancakes as a legitimate meal sealed it for me; brunch will always be my favourite meal.
My childhood memories are of stacked high maple butter pancakes while Mum and Dad sipped mimosa or Harvey Wallbangers in the sunshine
Up to now I have never been one of those jump-out-of-bed-with-a-smile people. Mornings traditionally have been slow, gentle affairs, although all that has happily changed since having my little boy in November. Nowadays it's not unusual to have been for a long walk over the marshes, whipped up a two course breakfast and done four loads of washing by 9am.
So this bank holiday I thought I would share my three favourite breakfast and brunch recipes, so you can make the most your mornings, be they early, lazy or late.
All these dishes come together quickly. Whilst I value a bit of time taken over breakfast, I always wake up hungry and I don't think you should spend too long at the stove. These recipes also make the most of real, nutrient-dense whole foods; big flavours that will leave you licking your lips but also, I hope, fully energised and set up for the day.
A Stack: 10 minute Apple and Pecan pancakes
These are a fast-forward version of my favourite ever pancakes. This time the whole process is done in a blender, but if you don't have one, you can make these with oat flour instead of the oats and ground almonds instead of the whole nuts, and mash the banana well.
I use a teacup for measuring as some mornings can be a bit bleary eyed. The pancakes may vary a little from cup to cup, but it's really the ratio that makes this recipe work, so don't worry.
Since they are sweetened with natural nutrient-rich bananas and maple syrup and use whole grains instead of flour, you can happily eat these pancakes with gusto. Be sure to watch the video at the bottom of the post for a super quick look at the recipe.
Makes 6 pancakes
- 1 teacup of oats (about 80g)
- 1 apple
- 1⁄2 a teacup of nuts (about 50g) – pecans or almonds (for kids use another 1⁄2 cup of oats)
- 1 cup or about 150ml of milk of your choice (I use unsweetened almond)
- 1 medium banana coconut oil or butter, for frying
To finish:
- 2 apples
- The juice of 1⁄2 a lemon
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A tiny grating of nutmeg
- Honey or maple syrup
- Yoghurt of your choice (I use coconut)
- Get all your ingredients and equipment together.
- Put the oats into a blender and blitz until you have a rough scruffy flour. Grate the apple.
- Put the nuts, milk, apple and banana into the blender and blitz until combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan on a medium heat and add a little coconut oil or butter.
- Allow it to melt, then add ladlefuls of the pancake batter to make Scotch pancake rounds.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles rise to the surface. Use a spatula to carefully flip the pancakes over and cook on the other side. The first batch are always more delicate, so don't worry if they look a bit scruffy. Keep them warm while you cook the rest.
- Once all your pancakes are done, use a speed peeler to peel your apples into long pieces then put into a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Serve the pancakes stacked and topped with the apple, maple syrup and, if you like, a little yoghurt.
A sweet one: Almond milk, ricotta and lemon French toast
The quickest and most indulgent breakfast I know. It's usually saved for weekends as it's more substantial than my weekday breakfast, but is easily quick enough for a weekday. I love the simple flavours here: vanilla, lemon and creamy ricotta. I like to use good sheep's ricotta if I can get my hands on it. The rest of the tub is great stirred through pasta or spread on toast and topped with berries.
I have found that decent gluten-free bread works really well too, as the almond milk mixture helps prevent the bread from being too dry. For vegans you can make the French toast with extra almond milk and skip the eggs and use some coconut yoghurt in place of the ricotta.
Serves 2
- 2 free-range or organic eggs
- 125ml unsweetened almond milk
- The seeds from 1 vanilla pod, or 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 4 thick slices of good bread or brioche
- A knob of coconut oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons good ricotta cheese
- 1 unwaxed lemon
- Runny honey, to serve (optional)
- Get all your ingredients and equipment together. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk in the almond milk and vanilla. Pour into a deep baking tray and lay all four slices of bread in the mixture. Leave to soak for a minute.
- Put a pan on a medium heat and add a good knob of coconut oil or butter. Turn the bread over and leave for another minute to soak up the mixture, then carefully lower into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp, taking care when you flip it, as the bread will be quite delicate.
- Pile two slices on each plate, dot with ricotta and grate over the zest of the lemon. Top with honey, if you like things sweet.
A savoury one: Turkish Fried Eggs
This is a really good weekend breakfast, easily quick enough to squeeze in on weekdays too. It's filling, fresh and perky from the chilli and will start your day off properly. I use pul biber – Turkish chilli pepper flakes – here. They are easy to find in Turkish corner shops – if you can't get them, use a chopped fresh red chilli or a tiny pinch of dried, crushed chilli flakes instead.
Serves 2
- 4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- A good pinch of sea salt
- A good knob of butter
- 4 organic or free-range eggs
- 2 wholemeal pittas or flatbreads
- 1 teaspoon Turkish chilli flakes
- A good pinch of sumac
- A few sprigs of fresh mint, parsley and dill, leaves picked and chopped
- Mix the yoghurt and salt in a bowl and leave to one side.
- Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Allow it to begin to brown, then crack in the eggs and turn the heat down, spooning the butter over the eggs until they are cooked exactly how you like them.
- I like my fried eggs to be just set, with a super-runny middle and just starting to crisp up around the edges. If you are having problems getting your eggs perfect, a lid over the pan can help keep in the heat so that the top and the bottom cook evenly.
- Once your eggs are ready, quickly toast your pittas or flatbreads then top with a good spoonful of yoghurt and the fried eggs. Sprinkle over the chilli, sumac and herbs and season with a little salt if needed.

Winter Styled Shoot - Snowy Colorado Wedding, Part 2
Sara Brown
Alright, who's ready for the romance?!
This is part two of our gorgeous Granby Ranch winter styled shoot - by night. Our beautiful fireside reception was full of warm, candlelit details, cozy textures and fizzy champagne (duh!). It was so much fun to plan and design for this shoot! For part one which included some playful mountain shots, click here.
Thank you to these fabulous wedding vendors for their collaboration and contribution to this shoot:
Venue: - Granby Ranch
Granby Ranch was hand picked for this shoot, and I must say, we were patting ourselves on the back for a job well done. Boasting a cozy lodge and spectacular, breathtaking views, Granby Ranch is just what so many mountain brides are looking for. Plus, the genuine and helpful care from the staff is icing on this glorious, snowy cake.
Photographer: Chris Loring Photography
Chris is lovely and kind and it only takes a few minutes to see her true passion for weddings and photography bubble over. I loved they way she thought through every decision from the lens (ha!) of her art. She made us all better designers, planners, florists, etc because of it, and I am sure her brides feel the same.
Floral Design: Love Letters Floral Design
Holly is creativity at its finest. Her lovely bouquets are truly a work of art, and she isn't afraid to be adventurous and try new things. Case in point: this wintery bridal bouquet incorporated some usual suspects (to-die-for peonies, white ranunculus, and cotton) with a surprising pop of homemade peppermint bark!
Wedding Dress: a&be
I didn't want to leave a&be after spending an afternoon there assembling the bridal look. Not only does natural light pour in through each window, the shop is also on-point and unassuming and lovely. Bonus: you'll find dresses here hand crafted in the United States.
Papers: Blue Ink Studios
Haley from Blue Ink Studios did a masterful job on all of our paper goods! She hand drew a menu, place cards, invitation, reply card, envelope and signage. All were printed on delicious and uber thick paper. Bravo!
Rentals (flatware and candlesticks): UltraPom Event Rentals
Carolyn at Ultra Pom is a family friend of my husband's and I was so excited when she decided to join us for this shoot. Her eye for design trickles over into every piece she acquires. She provided the flatware and mis-matched candlesticks for this shoot.
Table Rental: Old Wood Soul
Old Wood Soul is a newlywed team who hand crafts these beautiful farmhouse tables from re-claimed wood. The table featured in this shoot is the high plains drifter, crafted from planks that were once snow drift guards in Eastern Colorado.
Cupcakes: Goldmine Cupcakes
Sara at Goldmine Cupcakes creates artful, delicious cupcakes. To match our winter theme, she brought along flavors including Cinnamon Spice, Diamond White and Choconilla.
Hair and Makeup: Kari Jordan
We commissioned Kari to give our bride a look that was playful, romantic and yet relate-able. She translated these adjectives into a beautiful a soft look that we were proud to share.
Bridal Accessories: EMY Bridal Designs
When Liz came on board with our shoot, she provided us with oodles of glittery goodness. It was so hard to choose! In the end we landed on a beautiful head piece and wonderfully detailed belt for our bride.

I leave the UK for a study trip to Cyprus this afternoon but while I was preparing I was reminded of something a Cypriot trade unionist friend told me a while ago.
We were in a seminar discussing the various aspects of the financial crisis on union members with other European colleagues when the issue of suicide was raised with many reporting increases in their countries.
According to my friend the rate in Cyprus was artificially low–indeed virtually zero–due to the power retained by the Orthodox Church in Cyprus and the desire of people to have church funerals. This makes it difficult to ascertain the impact of the crisis on workers in this ultimate of measurements.
The only international comparison I could find of suicides (quickly, as I have to pack) was OECD figures but their database only provides up to 2009. The chart above shows the rates of OECD countries, which doesn't include Cyprus.
Interesting to see how many of the lowest rate countries all have strong religious establishments of different shades, including Orthodox, Catholic and Jewish. I wonder whether they really do have the lowest rates.
Please do refute.

This is my hair as is on Day 3. It's a sad state of affairs on the left picture and I hope y'all appreciate the fact that I'm posting this for the world to see. I am a mom of two littles, so I don't always have the pleasure of washing my hair every day. My showers are generally either at night after they go to bed, or less than one minute while the kids are entertained and playing nicely (that never happens).
When I first started going a day or two between washings, I hated it. My hair still looked greasy and the only thing I did with it was put it in a high bun. But after finding great products that work for my hair, day 3 has become my favorite hair day! I have fine textured hair, and a lot of products weigh down my hair. So I've found that less is more. After washing my hair, I use a very small amount of product and start in the back and work through to the front. A lot of people start at the front and then wonder why their fringe gets so oily…it's the product. Trust me, start in the back.
Day 2, I generally just use some homemade dry shampoo that I apply with a make-up brush. For those wondering what homemade dry shampoo is made of, let me oblige you: it's baby powder, cocoa powder, and lavender essential oil mixed together. Pretty simple. I've found that using that on day 2, makes day 3 a lot better. The homemade dry shampoo creates a great foundation for the dry shampoo on day 3. Since I have blonde hair, I don't use much cocoa powder. For those of you with darker hair, use a bit more.
And less is more in this case. You can always add, but you can't take away what you put in. Go easy and see what works for you. This is what works for my hair. Try it, and adjust as needed to suite your specific hair needs.
Step-By-Step Tutorial
< This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are 100% my own. >
I start off by detangling my hair with Cricket Ultra Smooth Hair Detangler Comb infused with Argan Oil. With all the bleaching I've done over the years, this comb is a Godsend for the tangled mess I've created.
After combing through, the next step is to get rid of that flat and oily mop with some dry shampoo. The best dry shampoo I've found thus far is Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo, 3.4 Ounce. I've tried a few different kinds, and this is the only one that takes out the oil and delivers big volume. I like to start off by spraying my hairline first in the front and back. Then I part my hair and spray all the way across my head like the picture above (to the right).
After spraying with the dry shampoo, rub it into your scalp like you would in the shower with real shampoo.
Next, use a curling iron to make some soft waves. I divide my hair into three sections for this soft wave look. The bottom section ends at the top of my ears, the middle ends at my temples, and the top is the rest of my hair.
To achieve a more natural look, you'll want to rotate the way you curl each section. I curled the bottom section by curling away from my face, and the middle section I curled towards my face as pictured above. For the top section, I just take horizontal sections and curl as I would if I were putting curlers in my hair.
After your hair has cooled (yes, that is an important step because if you mess with your curls before they cool they will fall limp), comb through with your fingers. To finish this style, spray with Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Hairspray, Spray & Play, 10.0 oz (284 g).
Does that even look like day 3??? Not a chance.
Let me know if you have any questions about this tutorial or the products used on here. What have you found that works for your hair? I'd love to know!

It was already getting very late that night, but I had to somehow submit a report to my boss. When I left my cubicle it was eleven. I reached the bus stop to catch the last bus of the route. But after fifteen minutes I grew impatient and started looking for a cab. I started walking in the direction of my apartment with eyes set on every passing vehicle. My shirt was wet with perspiration. After all it was a warm summer night of Kolkata. I had no idea how much I had walked as my mind was heavy with all the events of the day. But apart from that, I still hadn't recovered from the experience of the metro a few months ago. Throughout the day as I worked, her face kept flashing in front of my eyes. Everyday my yearning to catch just a glimpse was increasing. Altogether I wasn't living a happy life without her.
A cold breeze was now blowing around the place from where I was passing. But there was no sign of a single cab. As I kept walking, it started to rain out of nowhere. There was no sign of any building or shade nearby so I had no option but to keep walking while getting drenched in the cold rain.
I still remember the first time we got drenched in that rain together. The feeling of her wet hair in between my fingers came back to me that moment.
As I continued on my dismal walk, a car passed by me at high speed. But it went a little further and then with apparently for no reason, it stopped. The lady who was driving the car came out and kicked the car's front wheel with all her might. But in the process, she hurt herself and started screaming in agony.
I rushed to her aid and when I reached near her I saw a broken nail and a small pool of blood around the place she was standing.
"Are you okay" I asked her with my eyes fixed on her feet. "I don't think so. I can't feel my leg." She replied with pain evident from every word she spoke.
Her voice suddenly took my mind off everything. I looked up almost instantly and saw that it was indeed her. "Aisha, it is you!" I said with a huge smile on my face.
"Aisha? Who's Aisha? Surely you have mistaken me for somebody else. I am Archana." She said in a soft moaning voice.
"Don't act smart with me Aisha. We met a few months ago in metro train and we talked for half an hour. It's me Anubhav", I blurted out everything in one breath.
"I am not Aisha for God sake!" She replied sharply.
Something was wrong. She was the same person yet she refused directly. Finally, keeping all thoughts aside I asked, "Do you need help?" "Yes, can you help me fix my stupid car? It just broke down out of no reason." She said in a soft and cute voice.
"Fate" I thought but didn't say out loud. "I don't know think I can fix your car but I can help you get a cab to your home." I said half assuredly. "Hmmm… that will work too!" she said while untying her hair. "Can you walk?" I asked her looking at her wet and dripping hair. "I can try if you help me!" she replied. "Sure" I extended my shoulder towards her. She put her arm around my shoulder and started walking. She took a few steps and started moaning and limping as blood spewed from her toe.
I knew that she could have taken it otherwise and it wasn't a very good idea but without much thinking I picked her in my arms. As our bodies touched, I felt an odd exhilarating shiver run through me.
She was lighter than I had imagined. I continued walking as she wrapped her hands around my neck with a tinge of embarrassment. I looked at her cute face and said, "don't worry we will get a cab soon." She smiled but didn't say anything. It was a strange moment for both of us but it was amazing in its own way.
There were still few things I hadn't done in my college and this was one of them. Although she wasn't here, but in a way I felt her presence wrapped around my existence. Every raindrop reminded me of her and I felt myself much closer to her.
"Who is Aisha?" she broke the silence after some time. "Someone I met in the metro train a few months ago. I haven't seen her ever since then." I replied with a sigh. "It seems that you have fallen in love with her!" she said with a smile. "No, no it's just that you reminded me of her and she reminded me of someone I love." I couldn't think of anything else to say. "Okay I understand. I just came out of a relationship recently myself. I know how it feels to be away from someone you love and care for." She said with sadness glued to her every word. "Why did you guys break off?" I asked with my eyes fixed at the road as raindrop caressed my face. "Sometimes life doesn't tend to go in your favor." She seemed disinterested in talking about it. "Everything will be fine in no time." I said in an assuring tone. "I hope so." She muttered.
"What does she look like?" Hers rosy lips curled in a wry smile as she asked me the question. I didn't take much time to think because her face was burned in my eyes. "I have never seen such a lovely thing in my life. Her face is so innocent that I always felt like holding it in my hands and kissing her all day long. One look at her eyes used to steal all my pain and sadness away. She used to hold my hand and look at me so kindly that I could just look at her all day. I would skip a heartbeat at the sight of her emerging out of the girl's hostel. She had brightened up my life with her mere presence." For some inexplicable reason I found myself blushing.
"You are one heck of a lover boy I tell you!" she couldn't suppress her laughter and continued. "Wish I had a boyfriend like that!" "Keep searching, you might just get one someday." I answered back. "So what's your story?" I had to know. Just as she opened her mouth to reply, a cab emerged from nowhere and stopped in front of us. Damn it, just when it was getting interesting.
"Do you guys need help?" the driver asked in a rasping voice. "Yes, get her to her home as fast as possible. She is injured." I replied back. I let her down softly and helped her get in. "Thanks for everything." She said in a soft voice. "It's okay. Can I have your number?" I just didn't want to repeat the same thing again. "You are very direct." Her face looked flushed. She produced a small piece of paper and jolted down something on it before handing it to me. "Hope we meet again soon." I murmured. The taxi started and began to drift away. She waved at me.
The taxi vanished out of my sight in no time. I kept walking with the piece of paper crumbled in my grip. Curiously, I opened it.
My eyes flared in shock. The note fell off my hand. I couldn't help but laugh like a mad man.
The note said- "You are so easy to fool!" –Aisha

WIL Faces Good Year Says Owner
SPOKANE, Jan. 23 — The owner of the Spokane Indians predicted Tuesday that the class B Western International baseball league will be able to operate as usual next summer, despite the military draft.
Roy Hotchkiss, whose Indians are a charter WIL franchise, said the league is looking forward to another ''good year."
"Nearly all members of the league are farm clubs of the Pacific Coast League teams and none expect to experience a player shortage," he said.
The class A Alabama State and the Class B Southeastern leagues have already given up because so many young players are going into the services.
Hodgkiss says he thought the WIL is in no danger of folding.
"The Indians expect no player difficulty," he said.

The flock of wild island sheep that visits our house has eleven lambs now, four sets of twins and three singles.
The ewes are good mothers. They keep very close to the newborns, mother and baby resting together after the trauma of birth. As the lambs get older, stronger, and more independent, the ewes keep an eye on them but only occasionally interfere with their fun.
The lambs cavort about with enormous energy but then they need to lie down and rest.
There are still some pregnant ewes lying about, so we expect a few more births in the next few days. Last night a ewe gave birth to twins in the area between the two parallel stone walls south of the house, the same area where the very first twins were born. The ewe and her lambs stayed over there until this afternoon, then moved to the front yard, and eventually rejoined the flock when it came up from the lower orchard.
The Major, whom we admire greatly for his gentle dignity, is with the flock more often than not. Most of the lambs bear some of The Major's markings -- black stockings or feet and black faces, and one pair of twins both have the beginnings of The Major's curly horns. The white lambs are beautiful, but the ones with markings are even more adorable.
The newborn lambs seem so frail compared with the now-jaunty lambs who were born a week ago.The older lambs -- ranging from a couple of days old to a week old -- are full of fun and energy.They are remarkably relational. They initiate play with each other, racing around here and there in little groups. One lamb kept looking at its mother, wanting to go off and join the gang, but not quite ready to leave her. They do, though. You can almost see them gain confidence each day. Not that they don't still need their mothers. They will be nursing for a while yet.
I think sheep have no depth perception. If I stand behind the picket fence or if I am inside the garden, behind the fish net fence, they seem oblivious to my presence. We move slowly and quietly and they usually let us go about our work without getting too worked up about sharing the outside with us, as long as we don't actually come toward them.
I'm continually amazed that we have the great good fortune of being able to watch the lambs so often during these enchanting first days.

Getting Started
When I first heard about TribalVision, I was very impressed by the company's high level of professionalism and its no-nonsense approach to marketing. I found TribalVision online while working abroad as a teacher, and I was motivated by the company's mission of helping small to medium-sized businesses market smarter. Before my work as a teacher, I had also worked as a sales and marketing representative in New England for a small company, and TribalVision was a perfect fit. I was very excited to further develop my marketing skills when I joined the team in June of 2014.
My Interests
I'm a music nerd at heart, with particular interest in jazz, alternative, and (recently) classical music. In my free time I like to go to concerts, go to events at local universities, spend time in Vermont, and visit my family down South. I studied Comparative Literature in college, so it's a lot of fun to use my writing skills to come up with creative content and messaging for my clients at TribalVision. I'm also very interested in all things data and website-related – two very new passions of mine that I look forward to developing at work.
My Favorite Project
I have loved all of my projects so far, but the most fun and challenging project has been to develop a new website from scratch for a client in the medical space. It was exciting to learn about the medical industry and to figure out how best to present this client's business to potential customers and partners. My work has included a website build, photo shoot, coding, collateral development, and a lot of productive partner communication. At the end of the project, it feels great to know that I was an important part of this sleek website's development.
My other projects have included building out a strategy for an international client, developing messaging and content for a European B2B Integration company, and editing a whitepaper for a software start-up. I truly feel that I learn something new every single day on the job at TribalVision, and I look forward to all of my future projects with the company.

I wonder whether anyone still gets letters with SWALK on the back. What a joy compared with the usual clump of bills and junk mailReplyDelete

Might not letters still continue to be published as a consciious literary form? Ezra Pound once said he would not write an autobiography because it was in all his letters and poems. In the last few months have been published the letters of Ernest Hemingway, P. G. Wodehouse and Samuel Beckett and reviewers seem to agree that there was a consciousness in all of them that others than the addresses would read them.ReplyDelete

On Saturday we went down to Victoria to take part in some special events. The Navy was celebrating it's Centennial and we went out to Fort Rodd Hill to see a bay full of warships and navy boats from all around the world including the USS Ronald Regan, the largest warship in the world.
:: Upper left-navy ships just off shore, Lower left-army helicopter fly-by, Lower right-Snowbird performance, Upper right-parachute demonstration. We also got to experience an F-18 fighter jet fly-by.......I think it almost liquefied my insides! ::
Afterwards we picked up a Subway lunch and drove into downtown Victoria. It was such a beautiful day! We sat on the lawns of the Parliament Building and enjoyed looking out over the inner harbour and soaking in the sunshine. Both Denay and I came home with pretty impressive sunburns!

It was so refreshing to spend a warm summer day relaxing and being together as a family......and I can't wait for this family to grow!

Dedicated To The Lord
Contributed by John Shearhart on May 6, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: A Mother's Day baby dedication service
Dedicated to the Lord
John Shearhart
May 9, 2010
This morning we're going to take a short break from Ephesians for a Mother's Day baby dedication.
My objectives in this message are as follows:
#1—the body as a whole will be encouraged and unified as we all take personal responsibility in providing examples for the next generation of our church.
#2—parents will have a fresh understanding of their roles in the lives of their children and they will strive again for consistent holiness in the home.
#3—children and young adults will see the continuity of our faith from member to member as we all strive to provide a holy atmosphere.
#4—unbelievers will see the blessing of being a part of the family of God and they will know that faith is more than a set of rules.
#5—God will be glorified by our church, our parents, and our children as we all strive to work out our salvation with and trembling before Him.
Let's look together at Genesis 22:1-4, 9-13:
God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." 2He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you." 3So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
9[…] Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." 12He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."
To begin, let's make some observations about:
Abraham's Dedication of Isaac
1. The dedication of Isaac began with an act from his father and not from himself.
Abraham never asked Isaac's opinion; he took the initiative in following God's leading.
2. This story is more about Abraham's faith than it is Isaac's dedication.
3. The dedication reveals Abraham's greatest treasure.
God didn't want Abraham to actually kill Isaac, but He did want Abraham to demonstrate his loyalty. At the core of this story is the question: "who do you love more—your son or Me?"
Abraham's faith was a greater treasure than his son.
4. The dedication of Isaac would have been total and irreversible.
Isaac was to be killed and burned. If God didn't intervene, Abraham would have left the mountain without even his body. This was a total giving-over to God.
5. The dedication proves Abraham's faith in God.
In faith he knew God would act in righteousness and that He would provide.
6. The dedication proves Abraham's fear of God.
In fear he obeyed God regardless of personal feelings.
7. The dedication paved the way for God's work in Israel's future.
Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, 16and said, "By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18"In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." (Genesis 22:15-18)
With these observations in mind, I want to invite all of the parents with us this morning to the front for our own dedication.
Dedicated to the Lord
1. We Commit to Initiate Obedience as Examples for Our Children
We commit to make our homes holy.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)
"Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:14-15)

Alpha Waves, part Beta
I'm on a train, traveling from my home in East Podunk to where my mom lives in Burgeoning Neo-Third-World Red State. This is a journey of some 12 hours, but being broke I've not booked a sleeper, rather I'm zoned out in my coach seat (still better than coach on an airplane). I left around 9:00 p.m. and I've been imbibing an elixir of ginkgo and gotu kola all night, along with coffee and Lovhers and Picture Theory by Nicole Brossard.
The latter tomes are headier than any chimie and it feels that they have contributed mightily to what comes next. It's around 7:00 in the morning and I'm exhausted and high on feminist signifyin' rebellion (and ginkgo/gotu kola) but I'm sooooooooo tired, I just sit back in that goddess-lap train seat and close my eyes, warm'd by morning sun streaming in windows, I'm by the window, the train's half-empty and everyone's asleep--
and we're rolling fast through pine barrens and industrial wastes--and I close my eyes--and the sun's so violently bright, red on my eyelids, beating my eyelids through the rushing-past pines...strobing, pounding in white and red light relentless on tired but arous'd lids--it's a dreammachine of a world, the flicker of morning sun becomes marbled end papers of obscene baroque books, peacock-feathered infinities of clasping whorls-- a blazing bhagavad movie of sweet violence.
now--I "know" what I'm experiencing has a name and neurological basis, yet--it's magic...intensity of psychedelia = coming forth of Brossard's prophecy: I'm hurtling through the new Herland, I'm a traveler who cannot stay, who pledges his vision to the world's redemption--or his own--
Green cockatoo-feathered morning, meeting my mom at the station and she tells me our favorite restaurant in the Big City must soon close, lost its lease--we eat our last meal there, in the morning so normal and dented in that decaying City, yet so bless'd--sensual bagels and lox...
and I thank my Kali for Beauty--for Musick to Play in the Dark, for that girl at the grocery store, for Gustave Doré, for fall leaves that fall red through blue air, for Lust for Life, for "a dangerous joie de vivre"...for blood...behind eyelids lit by sun...a love letter from the Light that begat life--

"Name and neurological basis" -- the first thing I thought of was synesthesia.ReplyDelete
I've taken train trips like that: wonderful Twilight Zoney experiences. Been lucky enough once to take a sleeper -- something like 10 hrs from Boston to DC before another 7 hrs in coach to NC. That was a blessed experience given the context: executrix duties for my cousin's massively messed-up estate (long story; 4 years later it's still in probate). House had just been decontaminated. No heat, no water hot or cold (as I said, long story).
Glad you and your mom had a chance to have those bagels and lox -- and all the rest.
oh, dear--you were in some Ingmar Bergman film, there...ReplyDelete
or Carson McCullers story--
one thing I like about trains is that they take you through the most squalid areas of town (as long as they don't stop!)...but it's such a contrast from the lexus and lattés landscape around airports.

Virtue-signaling, the lazy, self-justifying compulsion of most progressives you went to school with, is the act of communicating by words, actions, or illustration their passion for some social justice issue that makes them look 1) caring; 2) in step with the times. It doesn't need to be followed up with any walking of the talk, it just needs to be signified on Facebook cover photos, t-shirts, or words spoken a little louder than necessary at Starbucks. And although the hot social issue du jour for leftists changes a bit every 2 – 3 years, when an issue is "in", it's In. And today what's In is "Welcoming Refugees".
Beyond a few magnanimous sounding syllables that prove how caring one is merely by stating they "stand with refugees", nothing is really required of the social justice warrior. Hence the laziness, the susceptibility to herd mentality, and the persistently self-referential nature of these people. It's not important to them whether an immigrant is actually a "refugee" under the statutory definition or an economic migrant – two significantly different things – it's only important that the immigrants look downtrodden, brownish, and needful of some kind of aid. Unfortunately this lack of interest in examining any concrete details of actual immigration – the rate of admission, the question of background checks, public health impacts, the ability of the U.S. to accommodate a potentially unlimited stream of entrants – gives the back of the hand to the complexity of the problem. But these are just terribly unimportant minutiae to the progressive who just wants to look like they're doing the right thing.
As it turns out, if you accept too many people from around the world in a short time frame without careful consideration for what impact their arrival will have, you can actually endanger the public health of the people already living here. Such is the case in Minnesota where, if only more caution and time had been taken to admit immigrants more slowly, we would not be facing an uncontrolled outbreak of tuberculosis, measles, and syphilis.
Minnesota Dept of Health needs $5 million to fight infectious diseases in immigrant population
Posted by Ann Corcoran [Refugee Resettlement Watch] on May 11, 2017
Hey, since many of the refugees and other immigrants now causing expensive infectious diseases to spread in the state are a result of Obama's migration policy, maybe he could contribute his $3 million speaking fee to Minnesota as a partial payment to handle the crisis!
Here is the latest news generated by the recent Measles epidemic in Minnesota. As of Tuesday there were 50 diagnosed cases, most (45) are in the 'Somali community.'
And, we are told that refugees don't cost state and local taxpayers a dime!
From Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart:
Minnesota Health Commissioner Dr. Ed Ehlinger sounded an alert on more frequent and costly threats to the public health, referencing measles, tuberculosis, and even the Zika virus and syphilis, according to a statement released by the MDH on Wednesday as reported by Hometownsource.com.
"In recent months, state and local public health officials have had to respond to a series of infectious disease outbreaks including multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, hundreds of new cases of syphilis, and now, the largest measles outbreak the state has faced in nearly 30 years. These outbreaks come on the heels of extensive public health efforts in 2016 for the Zika virus response and in 2014-15 for Ebola preparedness," he added…..
Minnesota is currently in the middle of the largest outbreak of measles in over twenty years. As of Tuesday, 50 cases of measles have been diagnosed in the state since the first case was reported on April 11, 45 of which have been diagnosed in Somali Minnesotans.
As Breitbart News reported previously, 90 percent of the 168 cases of active tuberculosis diagnosed in Minnesota in 2016 were foreign-born, much higher than the 67 percent of foreign-born cases that accounted for the 9,287 cases of active TB diagnosed in the United States in 2016.
Fourteen of those cases were from newly arrived refugees, eleven of whom were diagnosed with active TB in medical screenings overseas but were nonetheless allowed to resettle in Minnesota by the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security.
Continue reading here. The article is chock full of important information and links to follow.
See my 'Health issues' category, here, where I have archived 329 previous posts about health issues (including mental health issues) involving the refugee flow to America.
I wondered here if this Measles outbreak started with a newly arrived refugee from Somalia (or from elsewhere in East Africa since a large number of our Somalis come from UN camps in Kenya).
BTW, Slate had a hysterical story the other day claiming this Measles outbreak is Trump's fault—not because he is admitting infected Somalis, but because he hangs with "Anti-vaxxer pals." Huh?

YOUNGSTERS will be crossing the race and class divide in a new stage adaptation of Malorie Blackman's best-selling novel for teenagers Noughts & Crosses.
Inspired by the classic love affair of Romeo and Juliet, Blackman's tale tells the story of Sephy and Callum, two young people kept apart by bigotry. Taking the part of the Sephy's father is Birmingham actor Tyrone Huggins and he knows he will have a hard job winning the audience over to his side.
"Kamal is Sephy's dad but he is also the Prime Minister so he can't have his daughter mixing with someone like Callum from the underclass and from a family associated with terrorism," he says.
"Many in the audience will be young people who are more likely to sympathise with Sephy so I did start worrying in rehearsals. There are a couple of moments when you see the father and daughter relationship that they could have had if Kamal had not gone into politics.
"The young people in the play do not see class, culture and racial divide and just want to relate to people as individuals and it is the adults who are pulling them apart."
Tyrone, who came to the UK from the Caribbean island of St Kitts, has lived much of his life in Birmingham and is currently based in Bordesley Green. He has also long been involved with theatre in the city, taking roles in the Jonathan Church production Of Mice and Men and Janet Suzman's The Free State at Birmingham Repertory Theatre, where he is a board member as well as a representative on the Arts Council in the West Midlands.
And being so close to home has its a d v a n t a g e s f o r Tyrone. "All my family will probably come, but at different times, we couldn't organise it all in one go," he says. "And I have nieces and nephews who are aged between 12 and 22 so it will be interesting to hear what they think. It is always good to hear it from young people as they will tell you exactly what they think."
The show is due to continue until February when Tyrone will be working at another project dear to his heart, developing black theatre in and around Birmingham.
"The project is under the umbrella of the Arts Council and is aimed at looking at how we can develop diversity of opportunity," he says. "It started in 2005 and is a rolling programme tied up to the developments going on at The Rep and the library. It will involve developing new playwrights and new plays and linking them into theatre spaces available."

This was meant to eliminate opportunities of respondent biasness which could have resulted into homogeneous data hence affected the validity of the study. https://www.jiaodianlunwen.com/three-stages-of-the-creative-process.html

A man who allegedly tried to burn a house down is one of eight people Queensland police have arrested in a continued crackdown on outlaw bikie gangs.
Detectives say the eight men, aged 21 to 40, were arrested and charged with 58 offences, including grievous bodily harm, drug trafficking and arson of a home and car.
The group is also accused of threatening people with firearms and recruiting people to join a criminal organisation.
The arrests signalled an end to Operation North Gulf 2 on Thursday, which also saw eight people arrested in May for a string of offences including torture and extortion.
Police said the gang included ex-members of the Comancheros bikie gang, who claimed to be starting up a new Rebels chapter in Brisbane's west.
Detective Acting Superintendent Brendan Smith said the group, which used violence to extend its power, was now completely dismantled, although further arrests were expected.
He said police will be alleging they attacked people with hammers and caused a potentially deadly fire in a car and house.
"Intimidation is their business model and the community has had enough," he said.

Mission QX Speaker Range Announced
Comprehensive options cover Hi-Fi and AV
Mission is to launch an all-new speaker range this autumn, the QX range that covers both hi-fi and AV set-ups.
Five core hi-fi models – 2 bookshelf designs and 3 floorstanding speakers – are joined in the Mission QX range by a dedicated centre speaker, two-way surround speaker and a powerful subwoofer.
Mission QX range technology highlights
• Advanced DiaDrive cone system - front inverted dome cone designed to deliver ansmooth response, driven by secondary sub cone to transfer maximum transient impact from the motor system
• Oversized magnet motor system offers high sensitivity for maximum dynamic impact from any amplifier
• New 'ring dome' treble unit offers high levels of musical detail with low distortion - the usual dome cavitation effects are avoided.
• Slot port is profiled to reduce 'chuffing' distortion, yielding accurate bass performance
• Acoustic crossover slopes claimed to achieve perfect integration between the drivers
• Crossover uses laminated iron core bass coil, audiophile standard polypropylene capacitors, spaced on the PCB to avoid magnetic field interaction
The QX-1, QX-2, QX-3 and QX-4 are two-way designs, combining the new 38mm Mission ring-dome tweeter with one mid/bass driver in the QX-1 (130mm driver) and QX-2, (150mm driver) and two mid/bass drivers in the QX-3 (130mm drivers), QX-4 (150mm drivers) and QX-C (130mm drivers). The QX-5 is a three-way design, with a 150mm midrange driver and 150mm bass driver joining the 38mm tweeter.
The QX-S, meanwhile, is a two-way surround speaker design with two 130mm mid/bass drivers and twin 38mm tweeters.
The range is rounded out by the QX-12 Subwoofer, which as its name suggests has a 12-inch (300mm) driver. It is a 300W design.
The Mission QX series will be available from November, in a choice of three finishes: white, black and walnut. Suggested retail prices are:
QX-1 – Bookshelf speaker - £299

A teddy bear that has been photographed all over the world in memory of a late Leeds five year old is at the centre of a campaign to name an aeroplane.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTH) staff and the family of the late Colin Reilly, who passed away in 2010 due to chronic lung disease, are appealing for votes to make the Colin Bear story go global.
The bear has been taken around the world by staff at LTH after Colin, from Chapel Allerton, was told he couldn't have his wish of flying to Disneyland for medical reasons.
More than 600 people have backed the campaign to name a Thomson plane after Colin Bear including the Brownlees.
Sam Reilly, Colin's mum, donated the teddy bear which was originally dressed in hospital scrubs to LTH as it reminded her family of Colin, who often dressed up in a similar outfit.
"It's incredible to think that he's still that important to anybody else or that anyone can still remember him but he's still talked about all the time," she said. "I didn't think what happened would happen. I didn't expect them to talk about the bear as they do and to do what they have done is amazing."
She added that Colin's well known saying of "I do a lot for charity but I don't like to talk about it" would be poignant if a plane was named after Colin Bear, as his family would donate the £2,500 prize to charity.
Tracey Martin, play leader at LTH, now organises an annual charity calendar of Colin Bear sold at the trust, while there is a Facebook group dedicated to his annual adventures to places like Uganda, Majorca and Portugal.
She said: "Before he passed away and was poorly he said he wanted to go on a bus or a plane but he couldn't. I just thought it would be fitting to keep the Colin Bear thing going."
Entries to the competition close on Monday at 12noon. Visit nameourplane.com/name/capt-colin-bear.

The Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is well known to show defensive behavior, such as raising the front part of the body and spreading a narrow hood (Ionides 1969. Mambas and Man-Eaters: A Hunter's Story. Postscript by Dennis Holman, Mayflower, London, pp. 1–236). On 27 February 2002, while conducting field studies in Botswana, we observed an unusual defensive behavior by a female D. polylepis that, to our knowledge, has not been recorded in this species. On 26 February at ca. 2100 h as we spotlighted, we sighted the snake climbing an acacia tree (5 m) at a private game ranch situated in the southeastern part of the country.
Nocturnal activity by mambas is poorly understood and rarely recorded; this is the first individual we encountered active at night. After a minor chase the snake was captured, measured (ca. 2.5 m TL), and sexed, whereupon it was placed into a cloth bag to be photographed the next day. On 27 February, at about
0800 h, the snake was removed from the bag and allowed to climb another small tree where it was to be photographed. The snake moved in the tree and after about 15 minutes it descended to the ground. Because we also wanted photographs of it on the ground we approached it to within a distance of ca. 2 m whereupon it displayed its typical defensive behavior (i.e., raising of the front part of the body off the ground and spreading of a narrow hood).
We remained still and the Black Mamba snake lost interest in us and moved into an open area. One of us investigated how the snake would react if it were constantly cornered (it was not allowed to approach any of the nearby thickets, which were ca. 10 m away). The Black Mamba snake again reacted by raising the front part of the body and spreading a hood. However, walking around the snake at a distance of about 2 m for 5–10 min made it impossible for it to reach the thickets. At the end of this exercise, the snake displayed a very peculiar defensive behavior. It coiled up and hid its head under the coils and raised the tail tip about 20–30 cm above the ground. The tail was constantly moving in the middle of the coiled snake, a behavior very similar to what has been described as defensive behavior in the garter snake Thamnophis radix (Arnold and Bennett 1984. Anim. Behav. 32:1108–1118). We are certain that this behavior was not caused by heat stress. Such tail displays have been suggested to divert attacks to a more 'disposable' part of the body compared to attacks directed to the head, which is common among several avian and mammalian predators (Jackson 1979. Copeia 1979:169–172).
It is interesting to note that in a very thorough study of temporal and spatial ecology of D. polylepis in South Africa, individual identity of the specimens studied was based upon on scarring and bits of tail missing (Phelps 2002. Herpetol. Bull 80:7–19). Thus, perhaps the latter injuries might have been due to predator attacks
on individuals displaying behavior similar to tail-raising observed by us.

A year or so in and one of the cushions was kaput. Rendering that side of the couch unusable (no kid family, no 300 pound slob family).
Now roughly 4 years old we decided to cut the bottom open as a 2nd cushion is staring to go too. And we found this:
That is cracked plastic backed cushions. Missing from not one but all the cushions.
That right there is not wear and tear. That's class action like terrible construction on a $1000 dollar or so couch. Type: Italsofa Maker: NATUZZI CHINA.
Reached out to Macy's to see if they're still using Natuzzi and we haven't gotten a straight answer. Buy at your own risk.
Update - hired a handyman to 'fix' the sofa. (Actually doing what should have been done by Natuzi in the first place.)

Common feat. Pharrell – Universal Mind Control
As a fan of Electric Circus I was prepared to be excited by Common's new "electro" tinged album, but this track is weak. I don't know what it is that I hate about this song, but I think it has less with the electro production and more with Common's rhymes. I'm sure that this track will grow on me, however.

"Countless studies have proven that Pit-Bulls are a gentle breed and only bite when they are provoked…Did they ever find out what the 74 year old man did to provoke this gentle canine? I am sure that he did something to the dog or this never would have happened…"
Seriously??? The problem with pit bulls is the things that "provoke" them are things that usually won't provoke another dog to kill. Such as someone walking by, a dog being in the yard next door or down the block, dropping a pillow and picking it up, etc.

Recorded at Ter Mar Studios, March, 1969, Chicago
Electric Piano [Fender] – Odell Brown
Flute – Lennie Druss (tracks: B5)
Oboe – Lennie Druss (tracks: B3)
There had been considerable questions about the harp's place in jazz. After all, it's a music form that was (and still is) dominated primarily by brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Dorothy Ashby sought to change that mindset. A master player by all accounts, she could work wonders with her fingers making the instrument sound less classical and more like a soothing, yet still elegant guitar. A few years after Dorothy's Harp, she'd be working with Stevie Wonder.
To further her sound, she had enlisted the help of Richard Evans the prior year after signing with Cadet. Together they forged ahead to construct a rich palette of sounds that surrounded you with the instrument instead of immersing you. On "The Windmills Of Your Mind," Ashby's harp introduces the tune before being taken away by a light, but funky bass. She then floats back into the mix creating a texture that's not often heard with the harp taking the lead while a groovy bass line plods with a soul-funk feel. That said, though, it works astonishingly well. The tones she creates with her harp create a haunting, yet beautiful vibe. To further that emotion, Evans added in some fantastic strings.
Brazilian touches abound as well. Ashby and friends dial up two standards in "Reza" and "Canto de Ossanha." The former showcases Ashby creating space in the mix for her solos, which helps make the faster-than-usual pace of the song more palatable. In their reading, the song becomes more prone to hip shaking whereas a slower-paced version might lend to more hip swaying. Meanwhile, "Canto de Ossanha" follows much the same trend. There is some great interplay between the flute where the two instruments sometimes play alongside one another note-for-note, while at other times the flute relegates to rhythm steadier with succinct pop-pops. Odell Brown then seals the deal with some exquisite solo work on Fender Rhodes.
However, it would be an incomplete review without mentioning Ashby's originals in "Cause I Need It" and "Just Had To Tell Somebody." She again goes with Brazilian touches on "Cause I Need It" including some great bongo work. There is no doubt who is in command of this track even as other instruments, including the oboe take the lead. The harp's main riff is succinct before straying into solo mode. "Just Had To Tell Somebody" is a happy affair that finds her exploring pop-soul nuances with an arrangement that once again never overbears. The melody emboldens its title as it seems to build with excitement.
In the '90s and '00s, Ashby's work started to be plucked for hip hop samples. Notably Pete Rock sampled two songs from the album – one for the shelved-and-finally-released INI album that included "Fakin Jax" (which sampled "Cause I Need It") – and the other being his beat for Rahzel's "All I Know" (using "The Windmills Of Your Mind," which you can hear at the beginning of the Rahzel track). Ugly Duckling also sampled "Canto de Ossanha" for "Another Samba."

The draft regulations enabling the Financial Conduct Authority to regulated peer-to-peer lending have been published for parliamentary approval (see Articles 36H-I). There have been some changes to since the previous version in the March consultation to remove certain issues. The more detailed FCA rules should be out with a further consultation paper in September/October.
Basically, your platform is 'in scope' for FCA purposes if it enables loans to which individuals are a party as lenders and/or borrowers (either on their own or as a member of an unincorporated association or a partnerships of two or three). However, there is an exception in the case of borrowers, where either the lender provides the borrower with credit of more than £25,000 or the loan is entered into by the borrower wholly or predominantly for the purposes of a business carried on, or intended to be carried on, by the borrower.

text: Life is full of important seasons, and pregnancy is definitely one of the most life altering ones. 40 weeks of growing a baby in your womb changes your body in many ways. The best part is, every pregnancy is different. Every belly is different. Either way, the beauty and mystery of pregnancy is one of the best things to photograph for yourself, and for your children. It is basically their first portrait. Maternity photography can take on a variety of styles. Cute outfits in scenic locations with your dad-to-be, or partially clothed (to your comfort level) and artistic in the comforts of your home. I promise that once baby is born, it is hard not to look back at that big round belly and miss it. Maybe that's why we mothers often do it again.

Daylight clashes take place in Syrian capital
Syrian troops and rebels clashed inside the tightly controlled capital on Monday for the second day in what activists called some of the worst fighting since the country's crisis began 16 months ago.world Updated: Jul 16, 2012 23:34 IST
Syrian troops and rebels clashed inside the tightly controlled capital on Monday for the second day in what activists called some of the worst fighting since the country's crisis began 16 months ago.
The fighting, which was concentrated in the districts of Kfar Souseh, Midan and Tadamon, briefly closed the highway linking the capital with Damascus International Airport to the city's south, said Mustafa Osso, an activist.
"The capital used to be safe. This will trouble the regime. It seems there is a new strategy to bring the fighting into the center of the capital," Osso said.
An amateur video posted online showed Kfar Souseh as the sound of intense gunfire could be heard at a distance and the presidential palace seen in the background.
There have been sporadic clashes in Damascus in recent months, although President Bashar Assad's forces remain firmly in control of the capital. Many of the Damascus suburbs, however, have risen up against the regime, prompting a ferocious response from the military.
A Damascus resident who spoke on condition of anonymity said gunfire and sporadic explosions could be heard throughout the morning unlike previous clashes which occurred at night, which was a sign that the rebels were becoming more brazen.
The clashes come as Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday accused the West of using blackmail to secure a new UN Security Council resolution that would authorize the use of force in Syria.
On Sunday, the crisis crossed an important symbolic threshold as the International Red Cross declared the conflict a civil war with potential for increasing war crimes prosecutions.
The UN observers also gathered new details on the killings in the village of Tremseh.

A City Explodes In New Trailer For Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit'
"From the Academy Award-winning director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty", begins the official synopsis for Detroit, the latest film from Kathryn Bigelow. At this point in her career, Bigelow's name is synonymous with a certain level of authenticity and quality in telling controversial, real-life stories that is like a genre unto itself. Will she be heading back to the Oscars again this year?
The potential is definitely there based on the latest, intense trailer for Detroit. The film centers Detroit riots of 1967, sparked by racism and unrest between law enforcement and the civilian population. Gee, that doesn't sound current at all. John Boyega, Will Poulter, Anthony Mackie, John Krasinski, Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Jason Mitchell, Hannah Murray, Kaitlyn Dever, Jack Reynor, Ben O'Toole, Joseph David Jones, Ephraim Sykes, Leon Thomas III, Nathan Davis Jr., Peyton Alex Smith, Malcolm David Kelley, Gbenga Akinnabve, Chris Chalk, Jeremy Strong, Laz Alonzo, Austin Hebert, Miguel Pimentel, and Kris Davis make for a strong ensemble cast.
Detroit hits theaters this summer on August 4th.

Design Week: Pearl St. Passage Recap
This weekend marked the end of a 7 month long design and construction project. Typically in 7 months were able to build a house, sell it and have a sweet party before anyone moves in. This time we built a wall.
But not just any wall.
It was a "selfless wall". – I'll explain more later, but first the event structure:
Design Philadelphia put together kind of a design experiment, where teams made up of a design professional, a fabricator/builder, an artist and a design student were given at 6'x20′ section of Pearl St, an alley between 11th and 12th just north of Callowhill to design something. It was called "Pearl St. Passage", the kickoff event to design week. The prompt was to describe a "shift" you see in today's society and design a thing that describes that shift.
Intentionally vague, but left up to interpretation. There were 10 teams in total participating and each came up with a drastically different concept.
We saw a shift in perspective happing in the world of selifes. The wall was really a new kind of selifie stick, one that showed more context and less you. Because let's be honest the internet is made up of enough selfies, we figured it would be good to help people get some other content on there.
Posting images on the internet is kind of like recording history, and we'd like that history to be made up of more than large faces with new haircuts and duck lips. There was more to the world of 2015 than just that! Que "Selfless" wall construction montage.
Designing a single wall to accomplish this was by no means a simple task. It took the brilliance of a large scale architectural firm, Genlser, and the craft of an amazing painter, Serena Saunders and a bright eyed, on his game working student in Richard Vilabrera to pull it off. The team worked tirelessly and pushed through until completion. We can't be thankful enough we had such talent to work with.
Overall the design and weekend on Pearl St. was a huge success. Our Installation was photographed, filmed, tagged and uploaded at least a couple dozen times. Check #SelflessPhilly #PearlStPassage #Selfless or #DesignPhilly on Instagram to see more pics!
We even made the header image and got a nice write up in Philly Voice along with a few other groups! But for more comprehensive event coverage, PlanPhilly touched on all teams with a short description of all the participants.
So what's next for the team selfelss design? We'll no one really knows. This installation may end of in one of several places, The Center for Architecture on Arch St perhaps? Gensler's DC office may be interested also but we're still open to ideas or interested parties. Happy to see it have a new home.
What we do know is that the Pearl St. design experiment is by no means over. There is a documentary covering the design process were all very excited to see, filmed in a collaboration with Urban Engineers, Design Philadelphia, The Center for Architecture, and Groudswell Design Group. There's no telling what weird moments and ideas will make it through final editing. That's slightly terrifying. So stay tuned for that. We'll update again when we have more information on the release date.
