Reshith has undergone some modifications since I first employed the term to respond to Catherine Keller's 'tehomic' creatio ex profundis---not a creation from nothing/no-thing, ex nihilo---but from ruach's oscillations over the deep (Face of the Deep). My concept of reshith maintains the otherness of God, maintains his freedom from a chain of being, from a causation in the scheme of things, from being merely another being among other beings. This is an admittedly anti-metaphysical gesture, one that I had hoped would operate in the spirit of Jean-Luc Marion's God Without Being, which seeks to avoid conceptualizing God within the category of being. The goal is admirable enough, to prevent dissolving God into a hapless idolatry of ontological difference. Still, causality grips God in the metaphysical causa sui, which Marion demonstrates to be a 'conceptual idol,' an idol that locks God into an impoverished likeness of being. Instead, reshith situates the eternal giveness of God on the horizon of Love, through which creation itself must pass before it enters the horizon of being. Just as God loves before he is, creation is loved before it appears.
The very giveness of beings is democratic in precisely the manner Levi Bryant has suggested in his Democracy of Objects. Objects enjoy their being prior to their becoming known to sentient beings. While it is the very nature of the human mind to interpret objects ontologically, that has no effect onticologically upon them. Causality is an irrelevant category for the way things are in themselves, and the way God is in itself. God's own giveness, his infinite nature, creates as love loves, bringing things into existence from absolutely no-thing. Love always already has its object, which makes its appearance ex nihilo as a new creation.
Creation ex profundis is a shaping; wonderful as it is, it binds the lover into causality: shaping through the hovering above the deep. What a tehomic creation has got going for it, is its self-evident relationality. But this relationality is also and already in reshith. Analogically speaking, reshith is there already, anterior, before (a temporal adverb, but meant atemporally) tehom, which is simply there to be acted upon to become what it will become. Analogically, God is the observer of the no-thing, giving appearance to the material world in an erotic reduction of pure will, act and love. God, therefore does not act within the created order upon some pre-existent substance, but a true creation from pure thought, yet in an image and likeness. This creation is one whose origin is in relationality apart from a causal nexus, not an origin in causality: creation without causality.
As reshith comes into focus, so does a creation that is itself atemporal and one in which conservation and concurrence is already a part. While the theory of rapid expansion of an occurrence in time 14 billion years ago is appealing for its suggestion that the beginning of the universe can be extrapolated to a singularity, that beginning is not reshith, which disabuses us of a God at the head of a moment, the first cause in a series of causes. Causation, like spacetime, is a function of the category of being, which in a strange way, tends to relocate, metaphysically, the notion of causa sui away from God and into the plane of existence.
Reshith, then, trumps tehom in the gentlest of ways. Analogically, it is the condition for the appearance of the there-ness of tehom that establishes the relation of ruach to matter. Indeed, analogy itself is the very oscillation between ruach and tehom. As Karl Rahner has noted in his Foundations of Christian Faith (57-80), analogy is the hovering (is hovering) that constitutes the finitude of creation. And, analogically again, Rahner identifies this hovering/oscillating (Schwebe) with the human creature itself, as the thing that oscillates between spirit and matter. As image and likeness, the human creature is already the analogy of God, and this event is the revelation of the first lines of Genesis. And though Rahner would not countenance a creatio ex profundis, he would likely marvel at the transformational and generative quality of Keller's 'tehomic' theology, and quite possibly delight in the shape his Schwebe has taken in her theological turn in general. Certainly the centrality of relationality and dialectical method to his entire theological project links him to the apophatic entanglements in the Cloud of the Impossible.
This weblog explores all currents running through Catholicism in particular and religion in general. It also explores the reaches of those currents in other disciplines such as philosophy, literary criticism, biblical hermeneutics, medicine and ethics. The approach is generally theological with serious inoculations from post-structuralism, including deconstruction and phenomenology.

Ketone Supplements May Fail to Work
Ketone supplements have become popular among athletes who intend to better their performance. The supplements are aimed at taking up high fats and low carbohydrate composition. A new study has revealed that these supplements may fail to work as anticipated and may bring side effects that may hinder athletes from starting let alone completing an event. The high fat and low carbohydrate diet have gained popularity. The supplements are aimed at enabling the body use fat as fuel. The body often prefers to use carbohydrate as a source of fuel for muscles. At the same time, the body can only store a few carbs. Once the stored carbohydrates are exhausted, the one may end up slowing or stopping. Many people have a sufficient storage of fat in their body. If the body can use the fat as a source of energy, athletes can exercise longer and at the same time get rid of extra body fat.
Some nutritionists and athletes have been inspired by this diet that constituted little or no carb and a significant amount of fat. With time, the diet reduces the carbohydrate stores and requires the body to burn fat. The diet also increases the production of ketones from the liver, which can, in turn, be used as fuel. The body may take up weeks or months to get used to a diet that contains little carbohydrates. During this time, many feel unwell and sometimes sluggish, a condition that is referred to as Ketone flu. The condition can be confused with food poisoning. The Ketone supplements can be found in powder and drinks form. Some athletes are wondering whether taking them will help them benefit without undergoing the sickening transition time.
Scientists from the Australian Institute of Sports did a test for Ketone supplements. They had about 11 volunteers from a world-class bicycling team. An hour before a training session, each rider was given a drink with ketones, but it tasted just the same. Just before the race began, they were given the same drink. The result was the same for all. They experienced some gastrointestinal upset after the ketone intake. Based on the body reaction most of the riders guessed that they had ketone. Their performance went down. Almost all expressed their disinterest in using ketone to better their performance. According to Dr. Burke, the performance of the riders may better if their stomachs adapt to the ketone supplements.

Business Deals You Should Be Aware of
A business is just an idea that has been actualized by people who had the idea and to mind to see the idea succeed. There are famous entrepreneurs in the world today with great businesses that are being transacted across the world. Being an entrepreneur doesn't limit you to anything for instance, regardless of the age of the Michael Ferro, it is built businesses from is tender age very before finished his studies. As an entrepreneur, there are a lot of things you have to put in mind when you're controlling a business.
Most business deals are done to raise funds for the company, and it can be done by both small and big organizations. An example of the business transactions that different companies conduct is the initial public offering, or IPO.Initial public offering is a business transaction can be conducted by large privately owned companies if they seek to start trading publicly and also for small businesses who are seeking to expand their capital. When a business wants to issue the IPO, they need the help of endorsing firm will give them the guidance on the security to issue, the price for the security and also the time to issue the stock. One of the challenges with offering the initial public offering is that it is hard to predict the changes in value because of market changes every time.
The other important business deals you have to know about is the alliances and joint ventures. A joint venture deal is where to companies with similar aspects such as technology, skills, manufacturing and same products come up together to form another company with the two main companies being the parent company to the smaller one. In such a joint venture, the parents companies stand to benefit when the other company makes profit while the smaller company have access to the skills, assets, knowledge and any other need from the two companies. Alliances business deals that are termed as legal agreement where to companies share their trademarks, technology and other similar aspects about them but doesn't resource to a formation of a new company.
Mergers and acquisitions are other examples of business transactions. Imagine business deal is where to companies come together combine the assets forming one company. Acquisition business deals can be defined elsewhere large companies buy a smaller company that is struggling financially hence becoming the parent company. For example, Michael Ferro Tronc is an example of a company that was formed by managers.

When I first moved to the Boston area, a fresh college graduate with a "great" job, I did my banking with a small, local bank...Watertown Savings. Basking in the glow of my first real pay check I headed to that small bank to make my first big deposit. I stepped up to the teller, and handed her the first of the small fortune I was bound to amass. She took it and looked at the name, then looked at me, then looked at the check, and then look at me, tilted her head to the side, furrowed her brow, and looked harder at me.
"Is there a problem?" I asked.
"You're Kristen Dattoli?" she replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Ah, yeah, I'm sure. Why?"
As it turned out, there was another Kristen Dattoli who grew up in the area with whom this teller went to school. Clearly, I was not the Kristen Dattoli that she was familiar with. However, Kristen Dattoli I was and so she deposited my money for me.
Fast forward nine years and I open my Facebook account to find that I have a new friend request. Really? It is sort of exciting to see who has sought me out. It was, Kristen Dattoli. Bizarre. But even weirder is the fact that this Kristen Dattoli who requested my cyber friendship not only shares the same name as me, but the same birthday. That's right, she was born April 14, three years earlier than me, but seriously, the same name and the same birthday? Before accepting this "friendship" I asked if is she thought it was possible that we have the same name and birthday...she too "appeared" to be shocked by this. This extra commonality that we shared led her to ask all sorts of questions to see what else we have in common. She revealed to me that she grew up in the Boston area, etc. Upon reading this, I shared my banking story with her and inquired if she was that Kristen Dattoli. And as fate would have it....she is! Nine years I have known about this other Kristen Dattoli who I now know shares a birthday with me and honestly if and when I ever care about my hair enough to take a shower and get a proper hair style, she and I don't look too far off from each other.
There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all.

The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti: a card-by-card feature by Tarot Zamm.
The Traditional Tarot for the 21st Century
Most Tarot decks with really spectacular designs are really just art collections. The Gilded Tarot transcends this limitation by having some of the most strikingly beautiful art on any Tarot deck, yet follows the Rider-Waite-Smith model. The result is a unique deck that any person with some Tarot experience will find instantly familiar and usable. This deck can be used with any Tarot system or book.
You really must see the cards to believe their beauty. The High Priestess dances on water in a translucent dress of stars. She bends backwards in front of a crescent moon, looking like a classic lamp from the 1920s. The Wheel of Fortune shows the zodiacal wheel around a solar center as part of a bizarre, almost alien machine. The Hanging Man follows this machine concept, but he is dressed in brilliant reds and greens.
The colors are deep and intense, almost metallic. They draw you in and will have you staring at the images repeatedly. But this is more than a deck to look at, it's a deck to use! The Gilded Tarot Companion, a full book by Tarot expert Barbara Moore, is included with this deck. It's a complete introduction so that even a beginner can use this deck right away.
If you're tired of the old style of the RWS deck and its imitators, if you're looking for a familiar deck that will take you into the future, this is the deck you want to use. (Llewellyn.com)

The Prisoner of Heaven / Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Toronto: HarperCollins, c2012
469 p.
This is the third book in Ruiz Zafon's projected 4 book series which began with The Shadow of the Wind -- a book I enjoyed when it first came out. The second book, The Angel's Game, was a little different from the first stylistically, and so is this third installment.
The Prisoner of Heaven feels somehow lighter than the others in tone, despite the dark violent past it presents. There is not so much focus on books -- it begins at Christmas in the Sempere bookshop, and is quite amusing. Daniel and Fermin are humouring the elder Sempere as he decides to set up a creche scene in the front window in hopes of drawing in more shoppers.
When Daniel is alone, however, a new customer appears...a very ominous one who overpays for the most expensive book in the shop -- an illustrated copy of The Count of Monte Cristo -- then inscribes it to Fermin and leaves it there for him. This rattles Fermin, who then proceeds to tell Daniel all about his past.
The flashbacks to Fermin's past in a notorious prison of Fascist Spain, and how he escapes, are dark (with shadings of Monte Cristo!) There is violence and horror and despair involved. Grotesque descriptions of torture and of sadism abound. At times I felt queasy and skipped over some descriptions. And yet, Fermin keeps his head, and befriends a writer imprisoned in the next cell over, David Martin, who is busily writing a book called, you guessed it, The Angel's Game.
All this self-referential talk leads to this book's position as both a sequel and a prequel to the previous two books. The storylines are intertwining so tightly that the books are happening more simultaneously than sequentially. It's quite a feat.
Fermin is able to fill in some of the blanks for Daniel, about his own past and his mother's fate. And as the stories close, Fermin is able to return to happiness and marry his Bernarda in peace. Even so, the end of the story brings the appearance of Daniel's cousin, a dead ringer for his mother. And we just know that she will play a role in the next and final book.
Fortunately, near the end of this story we do get a glimpse into the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. Fermin is awed by Daniel's introduction and befriends the keeper, old Isaac, immediately. How fortuitous that Isaac is thinking of retiring...
This was an enjoyable read and a good addition to the set. While I liked the first two better for their depth and overwhelmingly bookish atmosphere, this one adds to the storyline and reveals new details about the characters. If you're a Ruiz Zafon fan, you will definitely want to read this one. If you haven't read him yet, do begin with Shadow of the Wind.

I really need to read this author one of these days...ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so jealous you've got this one already! I was a bit disappointed by The Angel's Game, but am looking forward to this one as Fermin is one of my favorite characters :-)ReplyDelete
Kailana - I was uncertain when I started the first one, but quickly came to love his style.ReplyDelete
Aarti - if you like Fermin you should really enjoy this one! It was pretty intense in parts...

Both violate the second law of thermodynamics, which seems to be too weird to be true of course!
Both create plasma tails able to accelerate the BH nucleus (push the horizon) into opposite direction away from surrounding gravity nuclei which means : "into the local gravitating (tail directing, pushing) ether wind direction"
BELOW: We observe here the splitting of a "naked" micro Black Hole nucleus ( Quantum Knot) from its accelerated cryometeor ice nucleus. The free naked BH nucleus immediately create a plasma tail pushing it against the local wind direction.
BELOW: We observe images of plasma cloud producing interference black holes, plowing into the local wind direction. see also video:

Before the curse that is social media was thrust upon us, one key promise of beer blogging was collective research. With the most welcome news that Lew is back into the beer blog game, he reminds us of the point of doing this day after day:
A bit over two years ago, I stopped writing this blog. It wasn't because blogs are dead — I refuse to believe that — and it wasn't because I got bored, and it certainly wasn't because I was running out of things to say. Blogs, good blogs, relevant blogs still are vital, and they don't have to be on Tumblr, or run through a microplane grater and splattered onto Twitter, or covered in kitties and posted on Facebook. Blogs are the place to do long-form writing, and I like to think I was able to balance somewhere between a tweet and tl;dr.
Even though I shared in the publication of two histories the year before, 2015 was the year I think I took my interest in brewing history most seriously. That few care about the state of brewing and porter selling in New York City in the decades around the Revolution is no concern of mine. It's important just to write about it. Same with the centuries of brewing on Golden Lane and life in London, England's district St. Giles's Cripplegate. These things are interesting because they are true.
We are children of the Enlightenment. Three things we depend on for understanding were all invented and popularized in the 1700s: the application of science in practical matters, mass communications and commercial branding of products. Each is a means to create a lasting record, each a self-archiving activity. People are led to believe, as a result, that things prior to the advent of these phenomena were unlike today. No scientific brewing? No pale ale. No newspaper? No news. Folk actually believe these things. They believe folk didn't know how to make fine things with available resources. We are slaves to records. We need to distrust them more even as we dive more deeply into them. Which leads us today's new topic: Northdown ale. Never noticed the stuff until Jay tweeted this quotation from Pepys yesterday. Which got me looking for more information and found an excellent blog post from November 2014 posted on the excellently titled blog Things turned up by Sally Jeffery while looking for something else as well as this passage from a travel guide called All About Margate and Herne Bay reviewed an 1865 magazine named The Athenaeum:
Quoting largely from the Rev. John Lewis's account of Margate, written in 1723, he notices the once famous beverage, known to Charles the Second's thirsty subjects by the names of "Northdown Ale" and "Margate Ale" of which drink Lewis says, "About forty years ago, one Prince of this place drove a great trade here in brewing a particular sort of ale, which, from its being brewed at a place called Northdown in this parish, went by the name of Northdown Ale, and afterwards was called Margate Ale. But whether it's owing to the art of brewing this liquor dying with the inventor of it, or the humour of the people altering to the liking the pale north-country ale better, the present brewers send little or none of what they call by the name of Margate ale, which is a great disadvantage to their trade." This was the beer which Evelyn calls "a certain heady ale " ; and it is probable that its popularity with London beer-drinkers influenced the generation of brewers who fixed the immutable properties of "stout."
So, an 1865 citation of an account from 1723 recalling a drinking experience from forty years before that. Northdown Ale. In her blog post, Ms. Jeffery surveys the evidence and seeks to determine if she can "get a better idea of what the ale was like by looking at how it was made." Let's now see if we can add anything. First, I like the reference to Herrick. In one edition of his book, there is a footnote to another poet's* line of verse anthologized in 1661: "For mornings draught your north-down ale / Will make you oylely as a Whale." Pepys was drinking Northdown ale the year before. I am not sure why one might want to be so oily. Franklin referenced "he's oil'd" in his 1730's Drinker's Dictionary. I am going to assume it means the beer is staggeringly strong for the moment. In The Curiosities of Ale & Beer: An Entertaining History from 1889, Herrick's own lines on Northdown Ale from "A Hymne to the Lares"¹ are quoted:
The neighbouring county of Hereford, now a great cider-drinking locality, had in former times at least one town with a reputation for good ale. "Lemster bread and Weobley ale" had passed into a proverb before the seventeenth century. The saying seems, however, to have been affected chiefly by the inhabitants of the county, who, perhaps, were not quite impartial. Ray, writing in 1737, ventures to question the pre-eminence ascribed to the places mentioned. For wheat he gives Hesten, in Middlesex, "and for ale Derby town, and Northdown in the Isle of Thanet, Hull in Yorkshire, and Sandbich² in Cheshire, will scarcely give place to Weobley." Herrick mentions this celebrated Northdown ale in the lines:—
That while the wassaile bowle here
With North-down ale doth troule² here,
No sillable doth fall here,
To marre the mirth at all here.
Did you see that? Wheat. Is this strong wheat ale? Or is that just a juxtaposition of two products of the region? Not sure. Likely the latter, given Jeffery's references to an excellent but short lived barley malting trade concurrent with the height of Northdown ale's prominence. Also, the diarist, botanist and courtier to Charles II John Evelyn describes being in Margate, one mile west of Northdown, on 19 May 1672 and states:
Went to Margate; and, the following day. was carried to see a gallant widow, brought up a farmeress, and I think of gigantic race, rich, comely, and exceedingly industrious. She put me in mind of Deborah and Abigail, her house was so plentifully stored with all manner of country provisions, all of her own growth, and all her conveniences so substantial, neat, and well understood; she herself so jolly and hospitable; and her land so trim and rarely husbanded, that it struck me with admiration at her economy. This town much consists of brewers of a certain heady ale, and they deal much in malt, etc. For the rest, it is raggedly built, and has an ill haven, with a small fort of little concernment, nor is the island well disciplined ; but as to the husbandry and rural part, far exceeding any part of England for the accurate culture of their ground, in which they exceed, even to curiosity and emulation.
Which tells us there were many brewers and much malting in a rich farming district. And notice another thing from the quoted text further up. Thanet. Which reminds us to ask the particular question – where exactly is Northdown? That image above is from this map from 1711. If you click here you will see a supremely confusing cross-referencing of the 1711 map with a 1623 image on Jeffery's post. See, before branding, newspapers and scientific brewing you needed to know where a beer or ale was from to figure out what to expect. Northdown is located in southeast England in the county of Kent – as in land of the noted hops. But the land of hops most noted about 200 years after Herrick wrote his lines. It was, also, the site of the October 2015 drinking session of the year as recorded by Team Stonch. So in the 1600s, the 1800s and the twenty-first century, a place of good beer but in each era quite distinct good beers.
Click on that image to the right. It's a paragraph from a 1681 treatise entitled Ursa major & minor: or, A sober and impartial enquiry into those pretended fears and jealousies of popery and arbitrary power, in a letter. Clearly an unhappy guy. But what he's unhappy about is how, in tough economic times, brewers are making undue profits by not only jacking up prices but doing so by having "devised several name" for drinks including China ale, Hull ale – and Northdown ale. Sound familiar? Double the price for poorer beer? And you thought craft beer invented that trick. It appears to have been quite popular with the well placed in addition to the poets. John Donne – the Younger³ – recounts being sent a poem along with "a dosen bottles of Northdown ale and sack" which means it was good enough to bottle and, seeing as it was sent by Lord Lumley, good enough for the Peerage. Which might explain the jacked up price. A premium ale for those that can afford it.
Notice one more thing. Sally Jeffery suggests there was indication that the ale was dark but also sees that "[t]he wheat stubble that is left is either mown for the use of the Malt-men to dry their Malt…" which, as we know, would make the sweetest, palest malt during that era. Enough to confirm anything? Nope. All we see from this set of records is clearly (i) a premium product, (ii) defined quite clearly to a time and place which was (iii) notably strong and (iv) bottled. The best ale during the Restoration? Maybe.
*Likely this John Phillips, royalist lad and nephew of Milton.
¹Here is the whole text of the poem:
It was, and still my care is,
To worship ye, the Lares,
With crowns of greenest parsley.
And garlick chives not scarcely:
For favours here to warme me,
And not by fire to harme me;
For gladding so my hearth here,
With inoffensive mirth here;
That while the wassaile bowle here
With North-down ale doth troule here,
No sillable doth fall here,
To marre the mirth at all here.
For which, o chimney-keepers!
(I dare not call ye sweepers)
So long as I am able
To keep a countrey-table,
Great be my fare, or small cheere,
I'le eat and drink up all here.
²I understand Sandbich to be "Sandbach" and troule means to "pass about."
³"…an atheistical buffoon, a banterer, and a person of over free thoughts…"

Life as Octagon? It's getting that way.
Did you know you were in the UFC? Imagine, it's getting so that everyday you leave your home you're stepping into the Octagon. You might as well be in there and in all the weight classes along with Uriah Faber, Anderson Silva and Brock Lesnar.
Just as I am able to forget the brawling teen moms made famous by celebrity smug mongers TMZ, now comes a horrifyingly brutal video assault featured on LiveLeak.com.
What YouTube (TO THEIR CREDIT), had the decency to detect and take down, liveleak was able to exploit making them liable in my opinion to be sued by the victim in this assault.
While it is unclear what sparked the assault what is clear is 1. The attackers continued the assault once the victim was helpless and unable to defend themselves and 2. The McDonalds employees did nothing to assist a customer in distress, and quite possibly in danger of being killed.
So not that Teonna Monae Brown is a household word, I'm sure Teonna Monae Brown, the 18 year old arrested for first degree assault in the Baltimore McDonald's assault didn't set out to be Teonna Monae Brown, BEATING SUSPECT. And to be sure, Teonna Monae Brown will have plenty of chances to hone her fighting skills in the joint. Who knows she may join the WEC after she gets out. Wouldn't be the first time someone committed a crime and where they failed as a citizen succeeded as a monster.
Now it comes out that the victim in this case is transgender and that's how the confrontation started. To that I say so what? What gives two people the right to beat someone senseless in a public restaurant, and then when the person is defenseless continue to do so.
No. These girls need to be punished and held accountable, as does anyone else who videotapes such behavior. And the outlets that exploit it need to be sued. We as a society better get a hold on this culture of beatings as entertainment and fueled by a thirst that can seemingly only be quenched by participating and/or exploiting such acts. The culture of internet violence has to end.

text: SOUTH BEND - When a Corvette driven by a Tire Rack One Lap of America participant broke down at a service plaza near Angola, Ind., Joe Woodward and other drivers stopped to help. In fact, competitors commuting through 17 states in eight days to compete in the Tire Rack driving competition didn't hesitate for a moment to lend a helping hand, Woodward, of South Bend, said. "That is just one example of the kind of camaraderie that drivers experience while competing in this event." Woodward, who is a wholesale salesman for Tire Rack in South Bend, went on the driving trek with his teammate, David Watts from North Benton, Ohio, to compete in the 25th annual One Lap of America competition. The hard-driving duo was competing to raise money for Street Survival, a nonprofit driving program geared toward teenage drivers. "It's a really good program that takes young drivers beyond the textbook and into the reality of driving on the road. They learn what a car can do, and what happens during different driving situations. They learn what to do if they drop (blow out) a tire on the interstate," Watts said. (For more information, log onto www.streetsurvival.org.) The two teammates spent much time on the interstate from the start of One Lap at Tire Rack on May 3 until its conclusion last Saturday. More than 160 entrants from across the world drove 80 cars over 4,000 miles in just over a week to raise money for various causes. Organizers said $133,000 was raised for various charities. Participants traveled to racetracks across the United States (as far away as Texas) to compete. The drivers were scored on their ability to achieve the highest G-forces on wet or dry skid pads at racetracks. David Watts explained how the competition works: "(The vehicle's) suspension and tires factor into all of this," he said. "Let's say that a competitor is recorded at .999 G's. The car has achieved almost 1-G, which means that the car is turning just about as fast as gravity is pulling down." The final finishing positions are computed for the wet pad shootout competition by measuring and averaging the maximum cornering forces each vehicle achieves on a test track's 200-foot diameter skid pad. Woodward and Watts drove a 2001 Mazda Miata in the SSGT2, small-bore engine classification. Fay Teal from Media, Pa., who has multiple sclerosis, is a driver and executive director of Laps to Conquer M.S., a charity dedicated to ending multiple sclerosis. She was at Tire Rack Saturday sharing experiences with Kevin Boulton of Temple, Ga., of the Organic Racing Team. Her trek has been an eventful one, Teal said. "I had a serious tire issue. Both of the front tires delaminated at one of the runs. It may have just been the wrong tire for the car. We are still trying to find out," Teal said. Woodward and Watts had their share of troubles, too, while on the road. "We were on an interstate in Louisiana and someone did a U-turn in front of us. We had to run off on the shoulder of the road," Woodward said. Brock Yates Jr., who is the event coordinator for One Lap of America, stressed the importance of driving responsibly. The experienced driver from Phoenixville, Pa., is an executive driving school instructor who teaches pharmaceutical representatives how to make the best of bad driving situations. His father, Brock Yates Sr., is founder of the Cannonball Run, an extreme driving challenge, and the predecessor to Tire Rack One Lap of America. Mark DaVia and Drew Wikstrom, teaming in a 2001 Porsche 996 Twin Turbo, won the event for the fifth consecutive year. Memories ran deep at the One Lap of America finale. Woodward, and his wife, Colleen, became emotional when talking about a competitor whom Joe admires. The late Robert Hoover of Apopka, Fla., was respected by everyone, Joe Woodward said. "When he turned 70 years old, Robert started racing. It was something that he always wanted to do. He went to a driving school to get a license and certification. He bought a Cobra Mustang and drove in these events for nine years," Woodward said. And, he added with a sigh, "If I can still do this when I am 70, I think that would be so neat."

Did You Miss Me?
It's the middle of the Thanksgiving long weekend in the US, and the blogosphere is unusually quiet. Are all the bloggers so stuffed full of turkey, or so busy chasing Black Friday specials, that they don't have the time or inclination to write, or has the whole of Silicon Valley shut down for a well deserved break? This made me think about my own blog, and I was ashamed to see it's been over a year since my last post! Unforgivable!
I would like to commit to writing a little more regularly, and will discuss some of the new technology in my "digital life", as well as comment on some of the tech news that makes the headlines. Hopefully, this, my first blog of 2012, will be the first of many, and I will be able to entertain some of the faithful that have subscribed.
Thanks for reading.

"Donald Trump tweeted a blatantly anti-Semitic image Saturday morning, causing an immediate backlash online and further confirming the Republican nominee is willing to sink to depths well beyond usual, acceptable bounds of politics.
The tweet, posted at roughly 8:30 a.m., featured a picture of Hillary Clinton pasted over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed star " the Jewish Star of David " next to her face.
`Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!` the star read."
Huffington Post
Donald Trump doesn`t know the meaning of the words: Nuanced, subtle or subliminal -- they just aren`t in his lexicon.
Trump has the vocabulary of a 3rd grader and the patience of a toddler, and when he has a tantrum, which is alarmingly often, he lashes out with an angry tweet.
The incontinent clown deleted the tweet after he was criticized for evoking anti-Semitic stereotypes with a graphic that included dollar bills and a six-pointed star.
But before Trump deleted the patently offensive tweet, he tweeted the same graphic with a minor change: A circle instead of a six-pointed star.
The major message of the tweet, that Hillary is the most corrupt candidate ever, is correct, but Trump didn`t have to include any anti-Semitic imagery.
I don`t know if our democracy can survive the 2016 presidential election, what a choice: The most corrupt candidate ever vs the most racist candidate ever.

Now that you, like the vast majority of Americans, have ignored President Bush's State of the Union address, let me tell you everything you need to know about how we're really doing.
Last year, we spent a record amount of money on tranquilizers and mood-altering medications -- for our dogs.
When you're a nation prosperous and pampered enough to give Puppy Uppers and Doggy Downers to the family pets, the state of your union is ridiculously good.
But a new poll says that more than two-thirds of Americans think the opposite, that America is a screwed-up mess and getting worse. There are many possible reasons for this, but serious-minded people have to admit that the most likely explanation is that two-thirds of Americans are morons.
Sen. Rodham (née Clinton), announcing her plans to run for the presidency ("I'm in, and I'm in to win"), assured us that she's going to undo the "damage" President Bush has done to the United States. In her honor, here is a brief damage assessment of America, 2007:
• Unemployment: 4.5 percent, lower than the average during the "amazing-incredible-best-economy-in-the-history-of-the-world" Clinton presidency.
• Inflation: Almost nonexistent. And the drop in the consumer price index last month was the biggest one-month decline since 1949.
• Taxes: Lower than they ever were under Bill "Middle-Class Tax Cut" Clinton. "But what about the deficit," Sen. Rodham will certainly ask? It's true, President Bush did not meet his goal of cutting the deficit in half in five years -- he beat it. Three years ahead of schedule, and without raising taxes.
• Wages: Up across the board. Total income and spending for all income groups have steadily increased for nearly 30 years. According to economist Alan Reynolds, more than half of American households earned less than $35,000 in (inflation-adjusted) dollars in 1967. Today, about 60 percent earn more -- and that money buys more stuff than ever before.
• Minimum Wage: The angry Left loves to talk about it, but almost nobody actually works for it. Only 0.6 percent of workers earn minimum wage, and about 80 percent of them are kids, retirees, etc., who live in households above the poverty line.
• Welfare: The number of welfare cases dropped more than 50 percent over the past 10 years, and that number would be larger still if we'd enforce immigration laws. When the feds rounded up the illegals at a poultry plant in south Georgia late last year, the company ended up hiring 200 locals off the county welfare rolls and then raised wages for everyone.
• Crime: Crime inched up a bit in 2006 compared to 2005, but the crime rate hovers at record lows. Parents panic over every news story that hints at Columbine, but Justice Department statistics show school is the safest place most kids ever go. About half as many violent crimes occur at schools today compared to 1992. Illegal drug use by teens is down, too.
• The Oil "Crisis": As evidenced by the $1.95 gas you're buying, the price of oil is dropping fast -- due in part to a decline in oil demand in the U.S. in 2006. That's right -- our demand for oil actually went down last year, and without any expensive "Global Warming" legislation. Meanwhile, energy analysts warn of a possible short-term oil glut, and new research into fuel cells may make the entire oil industry obsolete -- research paid for by evil oilman George W. Bush.
Lots of jobs, lots of cash, low taxes, safe streets, cheap gas -- the state of the Union sounds pretty good, no?
No. Americans overwhelmingly tell pollsters we're miserable. To people around the world, we must sound like Paris Hilton whining about room service improperly chilling her mineral water, but there it is.
We're rich, we're safe, and we're not gonna take it anymore, dammit!
The Chris Matthews of the world blame it on Iraq, and that is certainly part of the story. But I think we have a forest vs. trees problem here.
If an alien beamed down to Planet Earth during the president's speech, what would he find? A nation that suffered a decade of terrorism spawned by the current state of the Middle East, responding not with irrational anger but with the worthy goal of spending lives and treasure to change the region for the better.
Sure, he would also observe repeated boneheaded mistakes by the political leaders overseeing the mission, but even on Planet Vulcan they'd give the state of our union an intergalactic gentleman's C -- not the angry F we're giving ourselves.
The misery we're indulging amidst our prosperity is entirely psychosomatic. Simply put, we've forgotten how bad the state of the union can get. Our lives are so good today that, no matter who we elect, change is likely to make things worse tomorrow.
If you're still unhappy, my only advice is for you to steal your puppy's stash. Because, like they say in the beer commercials, it don't get no better than this.

This adorable fellow is Goofy, a black and tan coonhound mix. Goofy's portrait was one of my Christmas commissions. This portrait was a delightful distraction from the December ice storms! I finished drawing Goofy just before power was restored to my studio in Jaffrey. I had taken my portrait commissions on the road with me to NY, which was a savvy decision. Had I left them to work on in NH, it would have been days before I could finish them (due to the power outage).
Goofy is drawn in soft pastels on smooth, white vellum. The finished portrait is 11x14" in size.

Journée Visualization of High-Resolution 3D Turbulent Flows
|Coherent structures in the separated shear layer on the side of a square cylinder : a multi-scale problem
Christophe Brun (univ. Orléans)
8 juin 2007
The scope of the present contribution is related to the design of proper signal processing tools to identify, visualise and understand, from both experimental and numerical data, the main coherent structures present in a turbulent flow. We will consider the multiscale problem of the separated shear layer on the side of a square cylinder for a Reynolds number ranging from Re=1000 to Re=200000. Unsteady analysis based on LES at intermediate Reynolds numbers and LDV/PIV at high Reynolds numbers are carried out. For numerics, 2D and 3D visualisations are performed based on iso-vorticity contours and isovalues of the Q-criterion (2nd invariant of the velocity gradient tensor). The storage of huge time data bank allows for building time dependent movies for the main coherent structures. For experiments, smoke visualisations provide a qualitative description of the flow which can be viewed as the behaviour of a passive scalar. A special care was taken to obtain very high sampling frequency for LDV in order to capture properly the smallest coherent structures related to the present multiscale problem, based on a time 1D wavelet analysis. This procedure should be improved and extended to space-time analysis based on PIV data.

I wrote this big rant all about how primary schools should remember that they actually have primary-school aged children enrolled, and how they should perhaps take this into account when planning school presentation nights and how this is even more important the very next day when they invite families (many with pre-school aged children) down to the park and then force them to sit in the hot sun for two freakin' hours while they perform The Nutcracker (for the love of crap!!!)*, but I read back over it, and it made me sound like an angry lunatic, so instead I'm just going to make with the pretty:
Wanida in STR Puck's Mischief, which I now have to rip back, because even though I am bang on gauge (32st/10cm), and even though I tried it on after I finished the ribbing (at which time it fit fine), I now can't get it over my heel. I'm not actually too sad over this, because the STR Mediumweight is quite a robust yarn, which makes this a really tight gauge, and I'm finding it a little hard on my hands, especially the K3tog and SSSK. Soooo… I'll be glad to go up a needle size.
*For those of you thinking "And how exactly is this NOT a rant?", that is not even close to being as ranty as the full version. Trust me on this. 🙂

Seperating and Extracting Components of Panacetin
Aim: To measure, analyze, through extraction and seperation of the components of chemical, Panacetin, which will conclude whether the label attached measures adequate amounts and contains US grade safe contents to which the drug, Panacetin, is originally produced by. Extraction of the chemicals Sucrose, Aspirin, and an Unknown substance is tested to determine the legitimacy of the label and drug.
Theory: The percent composition is calculated for accuracy and to conclude the "label is accurate". The formula for the percent composition is adding the sums of all the extracts, then dividing the total sum by each of the three (3) individual extract; Sucrose, Aspirin, Unknown. By separating and extracting the three (3) substances from the original drug, Panacetin, analysis can conclude whether it has been smuggled from overseas, which contains toxins, or has been made inside the US, with USP orders and specifications.
Materials: The materials used for this experiment are a 15 mL centrifugation tube and cap to add 0.40 g of the drug, Panacetin, and a graduated cylinder to measure 8.0 mL of dichloromethane, and filter paper. A digital scale, a centrifuge, two (2) test tubes, 4.0 mL of 5.0% NaHCO3, micropipette (glass with rubber suction top), a stirring rod, and a vial. A 50 mL beaker, 2 x 1.0 mL of 6.0 M HCl, pH paper, a vacuum chamber, a test tube rack, scooper, ice bath, hot water bath, hot plate, Hirsche funnel, and a rubber tube are all necessary to perform the experiment.
Method: Weigh and add 0.40 g of Panacretin to a 15.0 mL centrifuge tube with a rubber stopper. Add 8.0 mL of dichloromethane to the 0.40 g of Panacretin and shake thoroughly, then place in a centrifuge, at three (3) speed for three (3) minutes. Extract the Sucrose and weigh using a digital scale (must be tared for accuracy). Separate the 8.0 mL of DCM to two (2) test tubes, each containing 4.0 mL of DCM. Add 4.0 mL of NaHCO3...

Woo! Shower? Yes...please! Another sweaty mess of a workout. This definitely helped with the "blobbiness". The temperature this morning when I was working out was around 20 degrees C already, so early in the morning. LOVE IT! I can feel this morning's workout right now...it's 10:21pm and I am feeling it in my back, shoulders, legs...really everywhere. Wait till the morning...I'll be lucky if I can get out of bed.
The dumbbells I used for this one were 10's and 8's. The 10 lb dumbbells are the heaviest I have right now. For some moves I could probably use more, but for others 10 or lower are just fine. Even when I am feeling sore, I feel great!
I am feeling a little lost though. I had to take my HRM back into the store where I purchased it from. After they replaced the chest strap with a new one, a few months back...I was having some troubles finding my heart rate. Some days I would put it on and my heart rate would show up as 174...that's me just sitting down...CRAZY! Other times I would be into a full blown workout and it showed my heart rate as 76...CRAZY!! And then sometimes, I would have no heart rate show up at all...CRAZY!!! So to eliminate my frustration, I decided to take it back in to see what the problem is. Hopefully I will get it back soon. Next week I will be doing the RushFit Explosive Training Workout, it's the only one I do not have a calorie burn for yet. So I may have to guess on that day.
So my calorie burn counts this week are taken from the previous days that I did certain workouts. Some days I enter them in a little lower if I find that I haven't worked as hard. And with the heat, some I have entered a bit higher.
I highly suggest getting yourself a good Heart Rate Monitor to help you achieve your fitness and healthy lifestyle goals. Make sure you get one that gives you a calorie burn count, that way you will know just how many calories have gone out. And be sure that more calories go OUT, then come IN.
1 pound = 3500 calories. So think about that when you are craving something off your new CLEAN eating way of life. Don't eat CRAP! Eat right and you will reach your goals. You can do it, you know you can!
Today's food...
Breakfast: Fruit Crepe with Chocolate Sauce
A second day of yumminess!
Snack: Green Grapes & Strawberries
Our snack at the park was some nice fresh fruit.
Lunch: Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup with Stix
I'm hot, I'm tired and I'm ready for my bed. I will be back tomorrow to show you the treat that I made up today. It will be ready by then. It's a frozen treat. Exactly what is needed this summer.
Until then...Stay Strong!
Good night

We believe that exposing children to different cultures, learning environments, and languages is an essential part of their education. The more children learn about the world around them, the more responsible, respectful and socially aware they will be. The connections and experiences made during international education experiences last a lifetime. International visits are not only educational for students but they are also a great way for teachers to broaden their horizons.
The benefits of an international exchange project are vast. There are many academic but even more social and experiential positives. Students and staff gain insights and an understanding of new cultures, learn how to communicate and learn from and with others who don't have English as their first language.
International Exchange programs serve as professional development for teachers. These programs help teachers reflect on their own approach and practices and remove the lid that can confine enthusiastic educators. By going abroad and observing other teachers in their own environment teachers develop not just professionally but also as a person.

ChemChina's planned $43 billion purchase of Swiss firm Syngenta and the combination of Dow Chemical and Dupont are nearing European antitrust clearance, the Financial Times reports Friday, citing inside knowledge from an unnamed participant in the Dow-DuPont talks. It's believed that approval for that deal would clear the way for ChemChina and Syngenta. These are the first two of three politically charged mega mergers worth nearly $250 billion in the global food industry. Dow-DuPont's $140 billion merger is reportedly on track for approval in March after the companies offered to sell some research and development capability, according to people involved in the process, the FT said. The third big deal is Bayer's $66 billion purchase of Monsanto , which was announced last September and will start its European approval process before the summer.

I just saw a really excellent jigsaw task at play in a science lesson…
Jigsaw techniques see individual students become experts in a field that they then share with others to up-skill the entire class. That feeling of joy we as teachers experience when a student says "ohhh I get it" can be shared by students, too!
Today I watched a fellow teacher leading some really great learning. In this case, the students each learned about one of the 5 senses, and also a trick to share with their group. The teacher was moving between groups and offering quick guiding reminders, but mostly just enjoyed hearing the unique ways that each person was presenting their ideas. It was a really wonderful thing to experience, there were no "bells and whistles" engagement, just 30 students engaged in the learning process, most likely because they owned it.
But what really stood out about this lesson was that it was shared by another colleague. The two (I have now been told four) teachers had got together to share not just resources (which people are usually very generous with), or assessment tasks, but rather a pedagogical development discussion where both (all) teachers could develop their ideas. Extraordinary achievement comes when professionals link to create tailor-made opportunities for students to achieve the outcomes they require.
Seeing the technique in action (outside of my own classroom) took me back to when I was first lectured on this technique about 7 years ago. In a tertiary setting, I was taught how the technique worked by being told how it worked (complete with powerpoint slides). Today I imagined just how much more I would have got out of it by watching it in action, or even better, being a part of it in action. This is something that the teacher training models that I have experienced lacked, teaching excellent pedagogy with excellent pedagogy.

Apartment Finance Today (AFT) opted for a change in scenery and moved its 2012 Annual Economic Outlook and Forecast Conference to Las Vegas. The emphasis was directed toward historically low interest rates, profitable yield opportunities, and being able to get investors and lenders interested in your deal.
Matthew B. Lester, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Princeton Enterprises, was invited back for a second year as a panelist during the To the Max: How to Push NOI to New Heights session. He shared his expertise in maximizing revenue and net operating income by offering numerous tips on how to impact the bottom line and make your property value driven. Mr. Lester should know – his organization has nearly doubled in size over the past four years, going from 8,000 to 15,000 units throughout the midwest.
Keynote speaker Ron Terwilliger took a trip down memory lane speaking of his life as a developer. Les Shaver's article, 6 Lessons for Developers, outline the key takeaways from Mr. Terwilliger.
1. Real estate is a cyclical business and there will be downturns.
2. Put in a healthy amount of equity, about 25 percent, in each deal.
3. Get a five-year loan or a three-year loan with two, one-year extensions.
4. Use architects and subcontractors that are familiar with the product you're building.
5. Choose the right asset and property manager.
6. Have a tight partnership agreement with the equity partners.
"Meet the Money" conference attendees left with some great tips from top industry experts encouraging owners and developers that by being persistent, having a solid strategy, strong operational performance and a watertight NOI execution is what's needed to show investors' you're worth the risk.
