Flowers Need Air
Our Amaryllis bulb bloomed!
The children were super excited to see its transformation.
When one of the buds "fell" off we saw it as a great opportunity for further discovery.
The children identified the different parts of the flower and drew lovely pictures depicting those parts.
While the children drew their pictures we had a great discussion about what living things need in order to survive.
Since we have been talking about the importance of air in the preschool this conversation tied in quite nicely.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone who has attended classes and workshops this year as well as bought the DVDs / digital downloads. Your support and hard work is much appreciated!
It's been a great year for training, personally I've got to train with Martin once and Vladimir twice this year, in Hamburg (thanks Jorg!) and at the great weekend in London organised by Systema GB - thanks guys!
There's been some great progress in training this year, reflected in the fact that a number of the lads are now Instructors / Instructors-in-training - well done chaps!
It's also been great to see the new level of Instructors coming through, guys such as Jamie, Garreth and Mark, the Celtic Contingent as well as hook up again with "old faces" such as Sam and Dima :-)
If there has been one over-riding theme in the training this year it has been "natural movement". So it is only fitting that the last blog of 2012 should be on my views / understanding of what that phrase means
Next year looks equally exciting - Valentin Talanov in London, Martin Wheeler in Dublin and all the usual fun and games in-between. We also have a very interesting and different Summer Camp in the pipeline, so watch this space.
Thank you all once again and thanks as always to Vladimir and Mikhail for their continued guidance, inspiration and support

Two separate safety incidents prompted evacuations this weekend in Mont Belvieu, located about 30 miles East of Houston. The first was a chemical leak at a pipeline storage facility owned by LyondellBasell, which the company said experienced a pressure build-up in an onsite wellhead. The second incident involved a small fire at the adjacent Lone Star NGL plant. No injuries were reported in either incident, but nearby residents were evacuated and Highway 146 was closed as precautionary measures. The cause of the leak and neighboring fire are currently under investigation.

I was there on Friday, and it was beautiful.
No lift lines (except the gondola, so I never rode that), beautiful soft snow, everything open, fun times in the woods.
My best Stratton day ever.
Really unfortunate how quickly things changed.
Hopefully we get back to actual winter at some point before next season.

This is a book that any lover of sport, not only football, should read. Not only because its an honest book about and by one of the greatest sport icon of the century but also because its about a time period in the sport of football when commercialization was creeping into every respect of the game and changing its very nature – from a people's game to one of sponsors and big money.
Into this ferment of change was born one of the genius of the game – Diego Armando Maradona, a man who became a legend in his own time and whose clash with authority and whose very human failings both endeared him to people and led to his vilification. Indeed, when taken a vote, Maradona will even today win the best footballer of all time hands down. Pele will be known for his finesse and but he will be known as a diplomat who said and did the 'right thing' but Maradona would be remembered as the combative team player who stood up for what he believed in, was outspoken, allied himself to the common people and became a sort of Robin Hood for the fans of the game.
The book is written as 'spoken' by Diego to Daniel Arcucci and Ernesto Cherquis Bialo, journalists, who had a series of interviews and talks with him. The writers and the translator have tried their best to remain faithful to the manner of Diego's speech including some of his self-invented terms – like 'bronca' (loosely translated as anger which gave him strength), 'vaccinate' (fuck both figuratively and literally – vaccinate a woman and vaccinate a goal) and so on…the terms are given at the start of the book. This is the first indication that the book's manner of narrative is going to refreshingly different. The flow of the words in the book is as if Diego is himself talking and swearing at things that made his bronca rise!!! and that makes the book and the man much more accessible and ends up making the reader come close to the footballer and the man behind.
The language is honest. The first indication of this is when Diego starts off the book with his childhood which starts off in Villa Fiorito, a shanty town on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. A lesser man than Diego would have tried to win the sympathy of the reader by dwelling on the poverty and the desperation that would have existed then, maybe going to the extent of glorying his rise but Diego takes it as a matter of course, commenting simply on the lack of even basic facilities but stating firmly that this was the best that his parents were able to give him with their meagre resources, for which he was forever grateful to them. He, instead, chooses to speak on the relationship with his father and mother – on their support and unconditional love throughout his stormy career.
This book is primarily about football, which was every inch his life and his place in it. He charts his rise from the local clubs, from his playing for Boca to quickly rising up the ladder due to his astonishing talents to become a part of the national team. His unhappiness at being left out of the 1978 squad, when he was sixteen, being a part of the 1982 squad where he made an impression on the world stage, His love-hate relationship with Napoli – his club, his stormy rise to captaincy and the struggle to hold together a talented but low on morale team that eventually won the 1986 world cup against all odds, the tragedy in 1990 finals and finally the greatest blow of all – the ban handed down in the 1994 world cup. Its all chronicled here with anecdotes in politically incorrect language where he does not mind taking potshots at important figures in the footballing world – from Pele to Havelange to Passarela to Platini to the military junta that ruled Argentina to the English (of the Hand of God fame). He is scathing in his attack on modern players who do not shown any sense of loyalty and go to the highest bidder without concentrating on improving the game – his comment on Ronaldo in the 98 world cup being a case in point. It is these parts that makes this book a joy to read.
Diego also talks in between about other issues close to his heart – player rights for which he was a vocal supporter, rights of fans to enjoy a non-commercialized game. He talks about his admiration for Fidel Castro (which is well known) and for Che, his views on some political issues close to his heart (Falklands war and Cuba for example). In all of these, he aligns himself firmly with the people around the world whom he felt he represented out on the field.
One of the most enjoyable passages in the book is of course the famous match against the English in 1986 world cup. Unlike other politically correct commentators, he firmly subscribes to the view that the match was much more than a game of football. It was literally a war with the English and a revenge for what the English did to the Argentineans in the Falklands war. He in fact dedicates the match to the fallen and the scarred youth of Argentina. He called the 'Hand of God' goal as pickpocketing the English and he revels in describing the incredible goal of the century in the same match.
This is not history book but is a personal chronicle and is thus subjective from the point of view of the one of the most temperamental player ever to grace the field. He lashes out angrily at all the injustice that he felt was meted out to him and defends his position as one of honour and dignity in the face of people who just wanted to use him for their needs. The reader would enjoy being taken down these passages of angry outburst and would find himself siding with him because of the innate honesty and because facts prove him right.
In the end, its a very honest account where the man they called as God himself does not shy away from describing the mistakes he made in his life and does not bother if the mistakes make him look all too human. For that alone, its an unique book. This is the footballing history from the unique perspective of the man who made most of that history.
There can be no better ending than the ending he himself dictates at the end of the book – "I am proud of having always been faithful to my convictions, my virtues and my defects. I can look everybody in the face. I haven't fucked anyone over except myself. I don't owe anybody anything except my family…Tome, it felt like I, El Diego , had been taken out of Villa Fiorito and given a kick in the arse that landed me on top of the world. But I was still wearing the same pair of trousers as always, my only ones, the ones that I wore in winters and in summers, that corduroy pair…I know I'm not one to change the world but I'm not going to let anybody into my world to tell me what to do. To dictate how my match is going to go, to dictate my life. Nobody will ever make me believe that my mistakes with drugs or in business have changed my feelings. Nothing. I am the same as always. I'm me, Maradona. I am El Diego."
At the end, he can say as did his famous idol – "History will absolve me"…I believe in that…

Citizen wages tar sands battle
By Dawn De Busk
Staff Writer
CASCO — A Casco resident, who was involved in the collection of signatures to put an anti-tar-sands resolution before the citizens in her town, has focused her energy on what is happening in South Portland.
During the November elections, Peg Dilley volunteered at the headquarters for the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM). She said she assisted by phoning eligible voters on Election Day.
"We were up that night calling until the last person could vote," she said.
"This was a hard-fought campaign in Portland," Dilley said.
At stake was a measure to keep tar sands out of South Portland by stopping the expansion of smoke stacks on property owned by Portland Pipe Line Company (PPL).
The measure, referred to as the Waterfront Protection Ordinance, was rejected by the majority of Portland voters.
But, that does not mean the battle is over, Dilley said.
Lately, she has been attending South Portland City Council meetings, closely following a proposed moratorium to delay for six months the construction of additional smoke stacks at the city's port.
According to the NRCM, putting in the smoke stack infrastructure will be integral to off-loading tar sands oil, also called diluted bitumen, from the pipeline to awaiting tankers.
On the other hand, representatives of PPL have repeatedly stated that there are no immediate plans to utilize the pipeline for the transport of diluted bitumen.
According to Dilley, if residents do not get involved and speak out before the city council votes, it will diminish all the efforts of the small rural towns along the Crooked River and Big Sebago Lake.
"We will be flushing everything down the toilet," she said.
The Towns of Casco, Waterford, Bethel, Raymond, and Harrison, were among those towns that passed resolutions opposing the transport of tar sands oil.
The resolutions are not legally binding, but officially state each town's opposition to diluted bitumen being transported via pipeline. The resolution in Casco also asks state and federal lawmakers to explore alternative sources of energy, and to support the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
Dilley said that Casco residents should not get complacent, thinking that passing the resolution was enough to stop PPL from possibly pursuing plans to reverse the flow direction, and pump Western Canadian tar sands through Maine.
In an e-mail in early May, PPL Communications Consultant Ted O'Meara said that the company has already tested heavy crude on the existing pipelines.
"We have moved limited volumes of Western Canadian crude through our system in past years in full compliance with our specifications, operating parameters, laws and regulations," he said.
He declined to say how many gallons were pumped through the pipeline, citing legally-sanctioned protection of the customer.
"Federal regulations do not allow us to disclose detailed shipper volume information to third parties," O'Meara said.
Also, in an earlier e-mail, O'Meara said the oldest pipeline, which was constructed in the 1940s, is idle. The other two pipelines are currently in use, transporting conventional crude oil, he said. He confirmed that the newest pipeline was built in 1965.
O'Meara said that PPL does not have plans "at this time" to reverse the flow of its pipeline, and move tar sands from Western Canada to Portland.
But, Dilley does not believe PPL representatives' avowals that there are no plans to transport tar sands through the pipelines that run through her stomping grounds.
While the watershed of western Maine and the Lakes Region would be at risk — if a spill were to occur, South Portland's air quality will be jeopardized if the smoke stacks are built, she said.
Dilley shared her concerns during public participation time at a Nov. 19 Casco Board of Selectmen meeting.
"We cannot stop working on this project. If South Portland is willing to take on smoke stacks," the oil company will have the ability to transport and off-load tar-sands oil, she said.
"We have to become more active, we haven't done our share," she said.
Dilley said that some residents from Waterford have also attended the council meetings in South Portland. The topic warranted discussion and comments that lasted about 2 and a half hours, she said.
"This is important. We need to be more involved," she said.
The South Portland City Council will hold its regular meeting on Monday (Dec. 16) starting at 7 p.m. in the City Hall council chambers. On the agenda is the second reading of the proposed moratorium to delay any construction of smoke stacks in the waterfront district. It is likely there will be a vote on the moratorium that night.
According to the South Portland website, public comment is allowed during both regular meetings and workshops.
"For us out here, we need to be at some of these meetings so (that) they (South Portland councilors) can be aware there is a lot more at stake than just Portland," Dilley said.

The pale versus tan debate is one I find absolutely fascinating. In fact, I found my research so compelling that I divided my article into 3 different parts! Here's part 2, hope you enjoy:)
'Tis the season to be tanning...wait, what?
Yes, that winter "glow", i.e. the look of death that emanates from pale skin, is not on most people's Christmas wish list. Tanning beds fill up, trips to Cabo doublebook, it seems that being a fair maiden means not what it used to once upon a time (more on the history of tanning popularity in part 1).
But most importantly, it reflects the 21st century Occidental beauty ideal that is glowing, Mediterranean, tan skin. When did "tan" become the new spokesperson for health and beauty, and what does that mean for the rest of us anatomy doll lookalikes?
Someone once told me, after I commented on their dangerous tanning habit and pointed out the risk of skin cancer:
"Well, you gotta die of something".
It's this kind of complacent self-destructive attitude that worries me most about the tanning fad.
I'm not going to lecture you about the serious repercussions of sun beds; the severe wrinkles, melanoma, damaged skin, skin cancer, excess dehydration, and shortened life expectancy.
Your grandmother could use ignorance as an excuse for laying out in the sun for hours on end; you, my darling, cannot.
The psychosocial term of the day is "tanorexia", or an addiction to tanning.
There have been many critics of this pseudo-scientific diagnosis, and I agree with some of them, but whenever I see a so-called addiction, just like plastic surgery or shopping addiction, I always aim to find the underlying issues, the insecurities that would push someone to such potentially fatal extremes.
Let's take a look at what's really happening here:
Biochemical: For tanning addicts, tanning causes the release of endorphins, also known as the "happy" molecule. A study conducted in 2006 showed that "when frequent tanners took an endorphin blocker, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions" (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology).
Hence, from a neurological standpoint, a "tanorexic" lacks natural endorphin releases in his/her life, implying that tanning has become a coping mechanism for depression, anxiety and general low self-esteem. Pretty legit so far...
Insecurities: I often wondered where the term "tanorexic" even came from, since we usually add the suffix -holic to anything in order to coin said thing's addict. But it turns out the idea behind the use of the eating disorder "anorexia" in the name stems from the common ground of poor self-esteem and distorted body image.
The idea is pretty simple: most of us feel, from time to time, a little low on confidence.
|Tanning mom, a popular mediatized example of "tanorexia"
However, if you suffer from an eating disorder or "tanorexia", your idea of yourself and your body is so distorted, so negative that you will take extreme measures to correct your flaws.
However, we know these flaws are often greatly exaggerated or even non-existent, so this poor sufferer will never stop trying to perfect his/herself. What does that mean for "tanorexics"?
Well, they believe they are unacceptably pale, and will keep tanning to reach the darkness they need to feel "okay". BUT THEY WILL NEVER REACH THE "PERFECT" LEVEL OF TAN, , as the real problem lies in their self-image, not the complexion of their pigment (yes, I just quoted Macklemore, deal.)
That is the real danger for real tanning addicts: there is no limit, and there never will be.
They will go for the gold (skin) until they burn to ashes.
Have a lovely day, stay tuned for part 3:)

The SHRM competency-based certification answers a critical need in our global marketplace. Employers expect more today, and we need to meet their expectations. This certification will demonstrate for HR professionals who we are, what we do, and why it matters. Simply put -- it's our value proposition. How we do our jobs, the skill sets required, and the way we measure success will continue to change -- it has to if we are to successfully meet the needs of a rapidly changing marketplace. And that's why HR certifications need to reflect those changes as well. This is an exciting opportunity because SHRM Certification will provide a full representation of who we are as a profession, and what we have to offer our employers.
There are two levels to the new certification: SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).
Candidates for the SHRM-CP exam will have up to 4 hours to answer a total of 160 questions (95 knowledge items/65 situational judgement items).
Candidates for the SHRM-SCP exam will have up to 4 hours to answer a total of 160 questions (95 knowledge items/65 situational judgement items).
The new certification will be a cost-effective program for both our individuals and chapters, with reasonable fees for certification and recertification.
We understand that seeking certification requires an investment. But we believe that the value of certification for an HR professional's career cannot be overstated, which is why we've always encouraged HR professionals to seek certification. In fact, SHRM has invested significant funds in research and development of our new competency-based certification – an investment that is leading to the development of a more valuable certification for our profession.
All certification are valid for three years. Recertification is required every three years through demonstrated professional development(preferred method) or retaking the exam.
Withdrawing on or before the late application deadline: Full refund minus $50 non-refundable application processing fee. Withdrawing from exam after late application window but no later than 5 business days before the scheduled exam date: 50% refund minus $50 non-refundable application processing fee and $75 late application fee.
No refunds allowed in the following situations:
Please note: Personal or medical emergencies are considered on a case by case basis
What is a Situational Judgment Test (SJT)?
Situational judgment items assess candidates' KSAs and decision-making skills, which are not easily measured using traditional knowledge-based questions. Examinees are presented with realistic work-related scenarios and asked to choose the best of several possible strategies to resolve or address the issues described in each scenario. Because more than one strategy may be effective for addressing actual work-related scenarios, examinees will receive full credit for choosing the best possible answer, or partial credit for choosing the second-best possible answer. Incorrect answers, which reflect ineffective strategies, will receive no credit.
SHRM is partnering with a premier test development organization with deep expertise in the design of situational judgment-based exams.
This is a sample situational-judgment question. It does not mimic the exam format.
Rebecca, the team lead on the accounting department, is having performance issues. You have been asked to meet with Rebecca to disscuss performance issues raised by her team. During review of the 360-degree feedback reports, it's clear that many accountants on Rebecca's team continue to be dissatified with the way she treats them. They see Rebecca as rude, abrupt, and unwilling to listen to them. They are afraid to disagree with her because she berates them for voicing their opinions. These aren't the first complaints that have been received about Rebecca's disrespectfull treatment of employees. She consistently gets low performance ratings on her people management skills. Although she is a top performer in every other respect, she needs to change the way she interacts with her team.
What is the best way to address Rebecca's performance issues?
The situation calls for proficiency in relationshop management and communication. The best possible answer addresses relationhip management whild providing effective feedback.
B. is the best answer because is uses positive reinforcement to modify Rebecca's behaviour but provides specific and actionable ares for performance inprovement.
A is the next best option because it provides guidance and feedback to Rebecca but does not provide specific feedback regarding how her behaviour can be modified
C and D are unacceptable answers because they do not call up the priciples of effective feedback and performance management.

Facebook Timeline: The visitor & admin experience
If you manage your client"s online media channels – or tune in to the blogosphere on occasion – you are aware of Facebook"s new Timeline feature for brands. If you"re not aware of this new feature, here are a few articles that will help get you up to speed:
- Facebook Timeline for Pages: Which Brands Will Win and Lose? via Mashable
- via VatorNews
- What PR pros need to know about Facebook Timeline for brands via PR Daily
Okay, so now you"re up to speed and you"re asking, "What does it all mean?" Last Friday, Caitlin, Mollie and I had the opportunity to sit in on a Wildfire webinar that helped break it all down. Here are a few key takeaways that might help you (and your brand) dissect the Timeline:
Visitor"s experience:
Right side of the wall: This is where the user will see all "friend" activity.
- 1st box: Shows how many (and who) of a fan"s friends also "like" the brand"s page
- 2nd box: Shows which of a fan"s friends are talking about the brand. If you want to know what your friends are saying about a brand, this is where you"ll find out.
- 3rd box: Shows posts by other fans (i.e. People you"re not friends with)
Left side of the wall: This is where all company posts will live.
Direct message: Visitor"s now have the ability to send brand pages private messages.
Admin"s experience:
Branding: Opportunities for branding change as visitors spend time on the page. The cover photo disappears as fans scroll down the page and posts become the key to providing brand messages.
Apps: Each box at the top of the page can be customized by the administrator. The only exception to this rule is the Photos app. Photos are the only static app that cannot be moved or customized in any way.
Maps: A new Maps feature will be available to all brands with a Facebook Places account. This will show maps to each of a brand"s locations.
Highlight & Pin: Administrators can now highlight (by clicking the box in the upper right hand corner of a post after it is published) a post to make it as long as the cover photo or pin a post to the top of the page where it will stay top of mind for seven days.
Monitor: Facebook is now giving brand administrators the ability to screen fan posts before they ever go live. From a PR perspective, we don"t recommend using this feature, but it is interesting to note its availability.
These are just a few down and dirty explanations of the changes to be seen with Facebook Timeline. What have you seen change with the introduction of Timeline? And how will you share your brand"s story?

The deportation conflicts with the message stated just weeks earlier by Saudi King Abdullah, who called for interfaith dialogue and held a summit in Spain with a representatives from several major religions.
"Deporting Christians for worshipping in their private homes shows that King Abdullah's speech is mere rhetoric and his country is deceiving the international community about their desire for change and reconciliation," said Jeff King, the president of ICC.The report from the Washington-based human rights group said 15 Christians will be deported. Sixteen had been arrested on April 25 when a dozen Saudi Arabian police officers raided a home during a prayer meeting."The first officer to enter the house after breaking down the main gate pointed a pistol at the Christians and ordered them to hand over their resident permits and mobile phones," the report said. "The other 11 police followed quickly and started searching the entire house. The confiscated an electronic drum set, an offering box with 500 Saudi Riyal in it ($130), 20 Bibles, and a few Christian books."The worshippers initially faced accusations of preaching and singing. "They later changed the charge to holding a 'dance party' and collecting money to support terrorism," the ICC said."During the raid, the police mocked, questioned and harassed the Christians for four hours. Then they took them to a police station where the head of the station interrogated them. The head of the police then wrote down their 'statements' in Arabic and forced the Christians, who are immigrants and not able to read or write Arabic, to sign the statements," ICC said.They were released three days later, and one Christian immediately left the country. The others returned to their work, but soon got letters ordered their departures tomorrow, ICC said."Three weeks ago, Saudi Arabia hosted an interfaith conference in Madrid, Spain. During the conference that took place from July 16-19, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia called for reconciliation among various religions," ICC said.
According to an International Herald Tribune report, King Abdullah's meeting drew about 200 representatives of Christianity, Islam and Judaism as well as those representing Hindu, Taoism and others.The reporter noted that the meetings had to be held outside of Saudi Arabia because "the mere fact that rabbis would be openly invited to the kingdom, a country where in principle Jews are not permitted to visit, would have constituted a turning point."

It's a terrifying thought, but Snatch is 16 years old this year. In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... come again?
Well, as you may already know, there's a spiritual successor in the form of a new Snatch TV series on the Crackle network in 2017, starring the likes of Luke Pasqualino, Rupert Grint and Dougray Scott.
We spoke to one of the film's original stars - The Walking Dead actor Lennie James - who told us that he doesn't know much about it but hopes it's good.
He told Digital Spy: "I know nothing about it, somebody mentioned it to me the other day. Whoever's involved in it, I wish them all the best of luck. Snatch is one of those films that I'm very happy to be associated with.
"16 years ago, we shot Snatch, it's a good-old long wedge ago, but I still meet people who have seen the film as if it was made yesterday, and will walk up to me in the street and quote some line because they had just seen it. I met someone the other day who swore blind to me that they'd seen Snatch over 100 times, and his wife said he could quote every single line from that film, and that's not the first time I've heard that.
"I wish them luck with the TV series. I kind of understand why they're doing it, but I just hope they tell their version of Snatch and don't get locked in to recreating the wonder we did, because that way madness lies."
Referring to the successful TV adaptation of Fargo, he added: "They went to the world and went at it in a very different way and did an exceptional job. If you're gonna do it, that's the way to do it.
"If you try and match the film, you're setting yourself up in not necessarily the best direction. I hope they're smart about it."
We also recently spoke to Snatch star Vinnie Jones about the project, and he admitted that he was a tad unsure over the whole thing.
He said: "You're trying to turn a classic into a TV show, it's a very hard thing to do. As we saw with Lock, Stock. They tried to do it and it failed at the first obstacle.
"We discussed everything about it, and I just thought it wasn't for me. After being in the movie. We just had a nice hour-and-a-half chat with the creators, where they're coming from, where I'm coming from, and shook hands and I wished them all the best."
For now, we'll leave you with another classic Snatch scene featuring both Lennie and Vinnie:

FlashForward - "Black Swan," Ctd
*I thought the opening was great, directorally (if that's even a word). Loved the juxtaposition of the Bjork song (sorry, I don't know the title), with the slow-motion chaos of the blackout occurring. The scene brought into relief what exactly would happen if the entire world blacked out. People falling over, busses careening off the road, helicopters crashing, etc. It would be utter disaster, and it was shown well. One thing I did notice though: the birds, which were not crows, were still flying. If this has any significance, I have no idea. Just wanted to point it out.
*The picture during this week's title sequence was that of, well, a black swan. More specifically, it was an actual picture on Mark's corkboard, with, presumably, Mark pointing at it. We received, via Alda Herzog (otherwise known as "Hot, Blonde Terrorist"), an explanation of what a "Black Swan" is: "a high impact event beyond human expectation." This sort of fits in with what I mentioned in the preview for this episode. Certainly, the whole world blacking out at the same time is beyond human expectation. But I wonder if there is more significance to the term "Black Swan" than that. Why the picture then on Mark's board? Is it the code name for the operation? Further, as we know, black swans are native to Australia. There were two other references to Australia in the episode, as well: Ned's reference to doing the Australian Crawl, and the boxing kangaroo stuffed animal in Dylan's bedroom. All of these references, plus the kangaroo that hopped past Mark in the pilot episode, and, heck, even the Oceanic billboard in the pilot signal to me that, like a wise man once said, Australia might be the key to the whole thing.
*Speaking of Alda Herzog, what is her deal? She led Mark and Demetri to Customer Choice Restaurant Group, a one-store fast food business, for what reason? Yeah, they found the pot dealer, but nothing of significance. Will there be more there in the future (besides frozen yogurt)? It seemed like a wild goose chase. I think she'll have more to do with the blackout than she's letting on, but what? Does she really know about Demetri's future murder, or was she truthful when she explained that he posted it on the internet (how did she get service?) and that the whole office is talking about it (when has she talked to other people in the ofice?)? She obviously has some significance; I'm eager to find out what it is. Also, it almost seemed like she was prodding Mark to investigate further when she told him that he was "not willing to do what it takes for answers." I guess she could have just been acting snide, but it seemed more to me. One last note on her: the camera very clearly focused on her tapping her fingers during Mark's interrogation of her. Was there significance to this? Was she tapping out a message?
*From a TV production standpoint, I thought the chase scene was well done. Looked like the actors did a lot of their own stunt work, so that's always appreciated. Of most note, however, was Mark's insistence that solving Mosaic is what will lead them to preventing Demetri's murder. This is interesting because it informs the charcter's belief that the future can be changed. Does this mean, though, that the future can be changed permanently, or will it only change until the situation (to borrow a phrase) is course-corrected? Meaning, can Mark and Demetri successfully stop Demetri's murder, or can they just delay it to some further point in the future? The answers to this question will go a long way to defining the show's concept of time, and what the rules for it are. Some characters believe that their future is set (Bryce, Ned, Aaron). Some are hoping it isn't (Olivia, Demetri). Others think they can definitively change it (Mark, Nicole). This is obviously the big question we as an audience are supposed to be asking. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
*I know I go on and on about her, but Sonya Walger is doing some excellent work as Olivia. She can communicate brilliantly with the subtlest of looks. Case in point, check out the look she gave the woman counting out her change at the check-out counter when Olivia wanted to esacpe Lloyd, and the look that flashed across her face when she admitted Bryce was right about Ned's Addison's Disease. Ever so slightly, you saw Olivia register anger at being wrong, but also rueful realization that if Ned's flash was true, hers would be as well (perfectly contrasted to her earlier determined belief that the flashes were not true, precisely because she doesn't want hers to be true). It led to her slightly-too-long look at Lloyd when he was doing magic tricks for Dylan. Could she see, in that moment, how she could fall for Lloyd? Fantastic stuff.
*Bryce finally got some screen time this week. It was nice to see him as more than the guy who almost killed himself. In fact, to me, he's turning into the John Locke of FF. His insistence that Olivia take his advice on Ned's case, was a classic Jack-Locke "Man of Reason, Man of Faith" argument. Bryce even yelled at Olivia, "You're not listening to me!" in a manner that was very reminiscent of Locke's "Don't tell me what I can't do!" Bryce has ultimate faith in the flashes as they "saved" him from suicide. Similarly, Locke has ultimate faith in the Island as it cured him of his paralysis. Whether or not Bryce holds on to the mantle of "Man of Faith" remains to be seen, but as of this episode, he is the front-runner. Two last things about Bryce: 1) The girl he drew in his notebook looks Asian to me. On the FlashForwardCast with Jay and Jack, they theorized that the girl was Nicole. I'm not so sure. 2) Really? Doctors wouldn't know about pigment change so tehy'd have to look it up on, essentially, WebMD? Where's House when you need him? (By the way, I apologize for all of the Lost references. I'm pretty obsessed with the show, as this site can attest to, so it's not strange that I see parallels everywhere. Also, it is clear ABC and the creators of FF are trying to make FF the replacement for Lost once it ends in May. I'll try to keep the comparisons to a minimum, but I have to call it like I see it.)
*Nicole returned in this episode. She had evidently been AWOL after seeing herself being drowned in her flash. Interestingly, she said that in her flash she felt like she deserved to die. What could she possibly do to deserve being drowned? And as her flash wasn't blank, does that mean she survives? It wasn't clear to me how she knew Aaron (did anyone hear anything that I missed?), but it appears that she will take a page out of his 12-step playbook and try to lead a "better" life so she doesn't get what she believes is coming to her. We were shown the face of the person that was drowning her, albeit throught rippling water. To me, when I froze the picture, it looked like Simon. Their connection, I suppose, would be through Mark's investigation into Mosaic: if Mark gets too close, perhaps Simon goes after Nicole. This seems a little too easy, but I have no other theories at the moment. Perhaps more will be revealed if she works at a soup kitchen that Simon attends, or something.
So, that's about it. All in all a pretty good epis.....what? There was something else? Something big? Oh, you mean....
*LLOYD IS IN ON THE BLACKOUT!! Well, I personally think not. Let me explain. We see Lloyd take a call from the infamous Simon (Dominc Monaghan). Lloyd doesn't want to talk. He is obviously perturbed that Dylan was injured in the blackout. Simon is having none of it for, as he explains, he and Lloyd are "responsible for the single greatest disaster in human history." Now, the obvious meaning of this is that they, and whomever else they are in cahoots with, actually and purposefully caused the blackout. The other meaning, and the one I am leaning towards, is that they created the technology that cause the blackout, but for some other purpose. This technology was then exploited by the actual perpetrators of the event. Again, the first explanation is just too easy. Then again, I could just be looking for too many mysteries and conspiracies within the show (entirely possible). Either way, this was a huge development that catapulted the show forward. Great reveal that was expertly executed.
Quick Hits:
*One of my commentors, Katy Lied, pointed out that it was a bit unrealistic that Demetri would be able to marry Zoe as he would receive a lot of familial pressure to marry another Korean. Well, the writers were listening to Katy, because Zoe flat out said that she knew his parents would have difficulty with the wedding plan changes because they already didn;'t like her because "[She's] not Korean." Good work Katy.
*Hehehe. Olivia called Mark, Shakespeare.
*Any significance to the prominent display of Dylan's Star Wars: The Clone Wars bedspread?
*Mark speaks Sufi? Really?!?
*Who is the Celia that Al was looking up on Mosaic? Wasn't he in London in his Flash? Was the woman he was meeting with named Celia? Did I miss something obvious?
From what I wanted to see in my episode preview, we got: Nicole's return and reason for disappearing; a lot more info on Bryce, but still not what he saw in his flash; NO mention of Suspect Zero; NO Somalia or crows; and Demetri's persistent reluctance to tell Zoe what he didn't see in his flash, as I predicted (patting self on back). All in all, I got most of what I was looking for, and a whole lot more (Lloyd & Simon!).
Prediction: Lloyd and Simon did not perpetrate the blackout, but are responsible for creating the technology that caused it.
I have to say, FF has me hooked. Let's hope it remains strong so that it can take over for our favorite Island adventure next season. The writers have, supposedly, mapped out five seasons worth of story, which is encouraging as these serials need a direction. Here's hoping the execution is solid as well. Drop your thoughts and theories below in the Comments. Thanks always for reading.
I'm off to become the pimpin' Scarface of FlashFoward recaps.

Loving the blog and loving Flash Forward! You mentioned not knowing how Aaron and Nicole know each other. I believe while they were talking in that scene, it was revealed that Aaron's daughter (the one he's looking for) used to babysit Nicole, and he got Nicole the babysitting job with Mark.ReplyDelete
-Amy Mansfield
Hey Amy! Thanks for reading. Glad you're enjoying the blog. You're right: Aaron did mention that his daughter used to babysit for Nicole. I totally forgot that. I've been slightly confused as to Nicole's age. In the pilot episode, I thought she was in high school, but I guess she's actually in college? I guess that makes more sense. Anyway, what else do you think is going on in the show?ReplyDelete
The purpose of this blog is to have an exchange of ideas, but please, keep it clean and respectful. That's the only way we can ever learn anything. Thanks.

First, a little Mary Oliver to begin with on a rainy Thursday morning…
I Have Decided
I have decided to find myself a home in the mountains, somewhere high up where one learns to live peacefully in cold and silence. It's said that in such a place, certain revelations can be discovered. That what the spirit reaches for may be eventually felt, if not exactly understood. Slowly, no doubt. I'm not talking about a vacation.
Of course at the same time I mean to stay exactly where I am.
Are you following me?
To me, this is a beautiful koan of a poem. An open, unanswerable question that bears great fruit in the asking. Is it possible for me to stay right where I am, in my life as it is, with inner access to the stillness and silence of the mountaintop?
One surprising access point I have discovered has been in our recent family experiment of a Sunday Sabbath from cell-phones and the internet. It is surprising because it is essentially a return to how life was 15 years ago, and yet the freedom and spaciousness that comes from unplugging for one day is remarkable. We are certainly not tech junkies, have not had a TV for 20 years, and still, that slight shift for a day makes a significant difference in our sense of time and space, and in our quality of connection.
I would notice, for example, as I walked through our office toward the bathroom, a kind of tractor beam around the Mac, inviting me for a "quick check" on Facebook or NBA scores etc…Same with the cell phone, to go out with Mesa for an adventure with no camera, no way to call, no way to exit the moment…
I appreciate so much around technology. I love that an idea that is ripe in the field can suddenly blossom into a movement- just looking at Brene Brown, or Charles Eisentein or even Russell Brand's revolution- there is amazing potential in the transmission that can come through technology. I also resonate with Moshe Feldenkrais' view, that it is often not the activity that is a problem, but rather the level of compulsion that goes with it. With technology, we have all picked up quite a few invisible compulsions and habits, as is evidenced in this two-minute video here.
We were speaking in our Tuesday night class about how easily the natural pauses, the natural spaces that occur in life – such as a red light, a gap between activities can be filled in with a quick email check, a text, and etc.
And how different 30 seconds feels when sensing the ground, returning to the breath, taking in the moment compared to scrolling through the Facebook newsfeed.
May your day be filled with pauses where, in Mary's words, what the spirit reaches for may be eventually felt, if not exactly understood.
p.s. Erin still has two spaces open in her Women Embodied 2014 class, and 3 spots for her Restorative Retreat on Sunday. Please contact her if you are interested.

Rollups & Grouping
An important part of Sentry is how it aggregates similar events together and creates rollups. This turns out to be a pretty complex issue and it can be confusing for users about why some information might not be grouped correctly.
The structured data of an event dictates how a rollup is created. This varies depending on the data available as well as the language.
Grouping Priorities
The grouping switches behavior based on the interfaces (Interfaces) that are available within an event.
- If the interfaces used in an event differ, then those events will not be grouped together.
- If a stacktrace or exception is involved in a report, then grouping will only consider this information.
- If a template is involved, then grouping will consider the template.
- As a fallback, the message of the event will be used for grouping.
Grouping by Stacktrace
When Sentry detects a stacktrace in the event data (either directly or as part of an exception), the grouping effectively is based entirely on the stacktrace. This grouping is fairly involved but easy enough to understand.
The first and most important part is that Sentry only groups by stack trace frames reported in the application. Not all SDKs might report this, but if that information is provided, it's used for grouping. This means that if the stacktrace is modified from one event to another exclusively in parts of the stack that is not related to the application, it still groups the same.
Depending on the information the following data can be used for each stack trace frame:
- Module name
- Normalized filename (removed from revision hashes etc.)
- Normalized context line (essentially a cleaned up version of the sourcecode of the affected line if provided)
This grouping usually works well, but causes two annoying artifacts if not dealt with:
- Minimized JavaScript sourcecode will destroy the grouping in really bad ways. Because of this you should ensure Sentry can access your Source Maps.
- If you modify your stacktrace by introducing a new level through the use of decorators, your stacktrace will change and so will the grouping. For this matter many SDKs support hiding irrelevant stack trace frames. For instance the Python SDK will skip all stack frames with a local variable called
__traceback_hide__set to True).
Grouping By Exception
If no stacktrace is available but exception info is, then the grouping will consider the
type and
value of the exception. If either does not exist it's skipped. This grouping is a lot less reliable because of changing error messages.
Grouping by Template
If a template is involved the logic is similar to grouping by stacktrace but obviously with less information as template traces have less data available. The general concept applies however.
Fallback Grouping
If everything else fails, grouping falls back to messages. Hereby ideally the grouping only uses the message without the parameters, but if that is not available, it uses the message attribute.
Customize Grouping with Fingerprints
For some very advanced use cases SDKs can override the Sentry default grouping.
Two common cases generally come up here:
- An RPC or external API service is queried, so the stacktrace is generally the same (even if the outgoing request is very different)
- A generic error, such as a database connection error, has many different stacktraces and never groups together.
To work around these the Sentry protocol supports a
fingerprint attribute.
In supported SDKs, this attribute can be passed with the event information, and should be an array of strings:
sentry::configure_scope(|scope| {
using Sentry;
SentrySdk.ConfigureScope(scope =>
scope.SetFingerprint(new[] { "my-view-function" });
Sentry.configureScope((scope) => {
from sentry_sdk import configure_scope
with configure_scope() as scope:
scope.fingerprint = ['my-view-function']
Additionally if you simply wish to append information, thus making the grouping slightly less aggressive, you can do that as well by adding the special string
{{ default }} as one of the items.

I already know that I would love to return to this location in the future, one afternoon, setting up the tripod, camera, a 10-20mm lens with some filters attached and watch the light change. I would stay there till the best of the light goes and before needing to scramble back to the car park in the dark. One for the notebook that I keep of such locations.
I am happy with the image shown here but as a photographer, you are never entirely happy, there is always ample opportunity to shoot a location until you bleed it dry. You can never help but wonder how a place will look at different times of the year such as what will it look like with a carpet of wildflowers adorning the landscape during the height of Spring?
The location shown here is Chapman's Pool along the Purbeck coast, Dorset which is part of the World Heritage area known as the Jurassic Coast. Its a stunning area and one that I have visited numerous times this year.
The shot was actually taken without a tripod, a 10-20 lens and some tweaking I have to admit was carried out in Lightroom mainly to boost one or two areas of the shot that had been under deep shadow.
Todays' bird sightings
Peregrine, lapwings and a bird of prey we couldn't identify, all I can say is that it was a buzzard size without the wing-tips of one and a dark underside flying high.

10 Questions for Liang Yujing
- By Elizabeth Mikesch
An orphan
stands in the sky.
An orphan with a huge head
is nailed to the boundless sky in light-blue ink
like a Jesus
without grief on his face, . . .
—from "Night of the Full Moon," by Shen Haobo, translated from Chinese by Liang Yujing (Fall 2017)
Tell us about one of the first pieces you translated.
I started translating poetry more than ten years ago when I was still in China studying English literature. When I studied Keats and Shelley, I would try to render them in Chinese. Later, I began writing in English and translating from Chinese into English. One of my first attempts, as I remember, was an ancient Chinese poem by Yuan Haowen (1190-1257), telling of the love story between two wild geese. When one of them gets netted, the other commits suicide. That poem was published in Epiphany in 2011.
What are you reading right now?
Right now my reading is primarily related to my PhD research, all about contemporary Chinese poetry in general and Yi Sha in particular. But last year, I read nearly all the poetry books of Kim Addonizio. Great poet. Recently a group of her poems that I translated appeared in Shijie Wenxue (World Literature), a Beijing-based top magazine publishing world literature in Chinese translation, and I received a lot of quite positive feedback.
What writer(s) or works have influenced the way you write now?
I always learn from other writers when I read their works. I appreciate Chinese poets like Gu Cheng, Yi Sha and Shen Haobo but the one to whom I'm greatly indebted is my former teacher, Chinese-Australian poet Ouyang Yu, who has kept inspiring me with his originality through the years. Among American poets, I often read E. E. Cummings, Allen Ginsberg and Robert Bly's translation of Tomas Tranströmer. I'm especially impressed by poets such as Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds and, yes, Kim Addonizio.
What other professions have you worked in?
Before coming to New Zealand, I taught English literature in China for seven years. Currently I'm a fulltime PhD candidate at Victoria University of Wellington. My research focuses on Yi Sha as the representative of Chinese minjian poetry – it's a tricky term in the context of contemporary Chinese poetry that has multiple meanings such as "folk," "oral," "unofficial," "indigenous," etc.
What did you want to be when you were young?
I once dreamed of becoming a soccer player but I was not so athletic. I had good skills and a coach wanted me to practice with him. I gave it up because in China, if you choose to receive professional training, you are put in a different educational system set for athletes. Both my parents and I didn't want that.
What drew you to write a translation of this piece in particular?
"Night of the Full Moon" attracted me among other poems by Shen Haobo with its imagination and religious implication, which is rare in contemporary Chinese poetry. Chinese society is basically a secular one, and most Chinese poets are not religious persons. Shen Haobo, as far as I know, is not a Christian. However, I was surprised by the religious elements in his poetry, including Buddhism and Christianity, which indicates he knows a lot about religion. In this poem, he compares the full moon to a huge-headed orphan nailed to the sky like a Jesus who helplessly watches the miserable world. That's impressive.
Is there a city or place, real or imagined, that influences your writing?
I'm not so sensitive to places. In China, I lived in my hometown, Changde, for eighteen years. Then I studied in Wuhan for six years before moving to Changsha to work. After another seven years (with five months in the US), I came to New Zealand. I don't know where I'm going in the future but am always anticipating changes. I've written about China, America and New Zealand. They are not much different to me. Perhaps there is some holy place in my heart that keeps influencing my writing, but for now, I don't know.
Who typically gets the first read of your work?
Editors I submit my work to, for I seldom share my unpublished writing with friends. Sometimes I would post my Chinese work online or in other media and let my fellow poets read and make comments, as in China they generally do not consider work posted online as published. However, this method seems not applicable in the English-speaking world, as most magazines won't accept stuff that has already appeared online. I have to keep them secret.
If you could work in another art form what would it be?
I guess it would be calligraphy. I began to learn and practice Chinese calligraphy with a private tutor at the age of six but gave it up after I went to university. I won a number of awards during that period. I quit because I lost interest and wanted to find another art form to express myself. As I grow older, I often reconsider my previous decision. Maybe one day I will do it again.
What are you working on currently?
Currently, apart from my PhD thesis, I'm translating a full collection of Shen Haobo's poetry, which is exciting. There has been some scholarship on him but his poems are generally not available in English translation. Another Chinese poet I'm translating is Dai Weina, a young, talented poet, whose mesmerizing work is different from most Chinese poets I know. I'm also translating some British, American and New Zealand poets into Chinese, including Sasha Dugdale, Jack Ross and Anna Jackson.
LIANG YUJING grew up in China and is currently a PhD candidate at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His poems and translations have appeared in a number of magazines across the world, including Modern Poetry in Translation and Boston Review. He is the Chinese translator of Best New Zealand Poems 2014. His forthcoming books of translation include What Do Women Want: Poems by Kim Addonizio (in China) and Zero Distance: New Poetry from China.

What if the characters in a vampire novel left their world--and came into yours?
Amy is in love with someone who doesn't exist: Alexander Banks, the dashing hero in a popular series of vampire novels. Then one night, Amy meets a boy who bears an eerie resemblance to Alexander. In fact, he IS Alexander, who has escaped from the pages of the book and is in hot pursuit of a wicked vampire named Vigo. Together, Amy and Alexander set out to track Vigo and learn how and why Alexander crossed over. But when she and Alexander begin to fall for each other, Amy wonders if she even wants him to ever return to the realm of fiction.
I had really high expectations about this book. I thought wow, it sounds amazing what a great storyline. I mean come on what girl wouldn't want their favourite fictional character to be real? I know I would.
However, I was really disappointed with it. I don't know whether my expectations were just too high but it took me so long to get into the story.
Amy is in love with Alexander, the fictional character in her favourite book series. But suddenly she meets someone who resembles him a little too well. Soon enough she discovers that he is the Alexander from the books and he and evil vampire Vigo have escaped their world and into hers. Can she help him without falling head over heels for a fictional character or will said character fall for her?
I found the story completely unconvincing at the beginning of the book and couldn't relate to anything in the book at all. To me it seemed very far fetched and not convincing at all. However I persevered with the book and after about 150 pages it did start to improve and I enjoyed it more.
I really liked the character Amy, I really liked how she came to terms with everything that was happening and would do anything she could to help. I loved how she discovered that the character Alexander was nothing like the real Alexander but that she still ended up loving him and would do everything in her power to protect him from the evil he is hunting.
I don't really know what to say about Alexander, he is a sweet character and I do really like him. I liked that he was the bad boy in the book that Amy loved and that it was centred around him rather than the good guy as so many books do. However, all you know is that Amy is head over heels for him and you don't really get a backstory to say why. You don't really get to fall in love along with Amy like you do in otehr novels. In other books as the character is starting to fall for the guy, I start to love him along with her but with this she was already in love with him at the beginning of the book so you never got to see the great things that make these kinds of characters loveable. I did like him in the end and was really glad at how it ended but I think I would have enjoyed it so much more if I'd have got that falling in love feeling from the characters.
Overall I think it was good. The storyline was good, original and interesting but I found it wasn't really believable until you got about halfway through when things started to get explained.
The characters are likeable and the storyline does get exciting towards the end. I just found it difficult to get into.
It's enjoyable but I definitely wouldn't read it again.

Arthritis is a condition that is serious and that it effects millions of people in the world. It can cause many symptoms, and sufferers can have anything from mild pain to serious health conditions that threaten their lives. Arthritis can be managed with proper care.
Women with arthritis should avoid high heels. High heels may enhance your appearance, but they can also physically damage your feet. Heeled shoes increases torque around your knees and can make arthritis worse. Do your best to always wear comfortable shoes in an effort to decrease your problems with arthritis. Your feet and legs will be grateful.
Avoid uncomfortable shoes and high heels if you have arthritis. The wrong kind of shoes will affect many parts of your body, causing abnormal walking patterns that exacerbate pain. Instead, go out and buy some comfortable gym shoes that offer support.
You should find ways to eliminate stress and relax to help manage your arthritis. When your body undergoes stress, it releases chemicals that can trigger inflammation and increase body pain thus affecting your arthritis. Try to come up with some good coping mechanisms to reduce your level of stress, such as taking a daily walk or meditating for a few minutes.
Are you a driver who has to deal from chronic arthritis? If so, you must understand that you can apply for handicap parking. Many arthritis patients are not aware of this, so they end up parking further away than necessary, and enduring more pain than they need to.
Going back and forth between cold and hot treatments is the best method to help treat and soothe your arthritis symptoms. Your joints can simply overdo it, that is why switching between cold and hot packs can reduce swelling and soothe the pain. Do not do these treatments very often, as heating or over-icing can lead to a lot more issues in the future. At the maximum, use these treatments twice each day.
Studies have shown that cigarettes can reduce your flexibility, and make it more likely that you will have painful episodes of arthritis. If you quit smoking, you will reap the benefits including less severe arthritis. That added benefit just might make the effort worth it for you.
Create a stretching schedule to increase your flexibility. Many arthritis sufferers have flexibility issues. Doing stretches each day to keep all your muscles and joints flexible can prevent this. Start off with stretching your feet, and then move in an upwards direction across you entire body until you reach your head.
You should always make use of a cane so that you have proper support. Thinking it makes them appear weak or disabled, some people opt against using a cane. If a cane lessens the pain, then you are not as disabled as you think without a cane. Find a stylish cane and you can pull off a fun look.
The tips above make it clear that arthritis doesn't have to get you down. Even if your bones are giving you trouble, there are tons of things to do, places to go, and people to see. Utilize these tips to help you ease the pain, and deal with this problem. Once you do this, you can conquer arthritis, and never look back.

On my form I created, I have pricing models (4 seperate models) that need to control 3 other fields. However, the fields are only allowing me to control two fields. Is there a limit to the number of triggers they will control. Must I set up a later stage to show and not show the fields.
Also,is there a way to email the entire document to the user once they complete the form, including the text fields. I am completing a contract that needs to be sent in it's entirety.

Hi MG,
As far as I understand your thread, depends on the pricing model, you want to hide or show some fields on your form. To do that, we need to use "Show/Hide A Field" condition and one "Dropdown" to choose that pricing models.
Also, there is no limitation on field numbers, you can hide or show field as much as you want in one condition.
Below, you can see the demo:
In addition, you can see the condition settings for this scenerio:
I hope this method meets your needs. If you are pointing a different spot, please let us know.

i also like to make drawings that go emulate how I feel. Like the dead bird thing, I was feeling crap, like nothing worked and I can't draw. Don't know how, but the drawings during those times always have a strong feeling attached to them that lots of people relate to. For me it's just a matter of focusing all on art, and once I've started in that slow motion train, the work flows with momentum. Starting something is always the hardest part

the main thing for me, is no matter how low I might be feeling, doing a good drawing or painting really gives me a great feeling of self worth.

Are You Out of Breath
They didn't tell us in seminary that the most useful gift in the ministry would be forgiveness. If they had, I doubt we would have believed it. Like so many others, we entered the world of church ministry with the illusion that there would be little time for hurt and disappointment or offense. We were excited at the prospect of working with Christian people who were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and we harbored the illusion that the rest of our lives would be filled with positive answers to prayer and people who would appreciate their pastor.
I know now why on the evening after Jesus' resurrection, He passed through the locked doors of the upper room to give his disciples a gift that would determine their future. After he "blew them out of the saddle" by appearing to them in person putting an end to the rumors and vindicating Mary Magdalene's sanity, he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven and if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained." (John 20:19-23)
Having been their pastor for three years, Jesus probably knew that there would be no group of disciples let alone a church to come back to unless He quickly imparted to them the most powerful gift in God's arsenal of spiritual weapons, the authority and power to forgive. Without this power, in fact, they probably wouldn't even be around for Pentecost. With this power also came the responsibility to use it as they had seen Him use it.
They had watched Jesus forgive the sins of common people and rulers. His forgiveness also carried with it so much life that the sick and crippled were healed and the dead were raised. They saw Him forgive the heinous sins of prostitutes and tax collectors dishing out big helpings of forgiveness to people who clearly did not deserve a second look from God. John had just seen Jesus dispense this gift in the very worst situation imaginable. He watched Jesus forgive the Roman soldiers and the angry mob of Pharisees standing at the foot of the cross as He gasped for His last few breaths of life.
The breath that Jesus imparted to them in the upper room was the key that unlocks all the power and graces of the Kingdom of Heaven to men. I believe that all of us have probably underestimated the importance and power of forgiveness. I don't think I've ever even heard anyone pray to be endued with this gift, not like tongues or healing or prophecy or the ability to preach powerfully or grow a ministry or evangelize the world. And yet the ability to forgive was the first impartation Jesus gave His disciples. I believe it is the mark of a true Christian, and He wants to give it to everyone for it is the secret of true happiness and contentment.
I don't ever want my "forgiver" to be worn out again as it was before '94. Eighteen years of ministering to Christians had left me breathless under a heavy load of sins against me that I needed to forgive, but I didn't know it until the load was gone. As I soaked in breath after breath of Jesus' presence, I found it easier and easier to forgive. It wasn't long before I found myself expecting to see the goodness of God in my life. I became more fully endued with my Heavenly Father's DNA which included the power to forgive.
As you read the articles in this issue of Spread the Fire, may the Lord breathe into you the power to let go of the past.
In this issue Dr. R.T. Kendall shares seven tests that let you know when you've truly forgiven, John Arnott explains why forgiveness is the center of the gospel, Heather Jackson openly shares her greatest challenge to forgiveness and how she broke through. Nancy Magiera also shares how forgiveness brought her family their greatest victory. So if your "forgiver" is worn out, breathe deeply and read on.
