It seems that Kevin Smith had a good idea to self-distribute his new horror film, Red State.
According to an article on GigaOM, Smith has already made back the $4 million his production company, SMODcast Pictures, invested.
At Sundance earlier this year, Smith announced that he would self-distribute Red State, launching the theatrical release on October 19, 2011, the seventeenth anniversary of the release of his first breakout hit, Clerks. But prior to that, Smith decided to take the movie on the road, going on a 15-city tour and granting question and answer sessions after screenings of the film.
That plan has apparently already paid off, as Smith told an audience at the National Association of Broadcasters show Wednesday that while SMODcast has yet to make a formal announcement, he was happy to say that Red State was officially "in the black." But that's not the only milestone the film was able to achieve. As first noted in Indiewire, Red State was technically the 10th-highest weekend theater average, taking in more than $161,000 at the movie's launch at Radio City Music Hall in March.
Smith's plan to self-distribute Red State came after apparently being turned down by long-term backers Bob and Harvey Weinstein. The Weinsteins had for years helped to produce and distribute Smith's distinctive brand of off-beat comedies from Clerks to Zack and Miri Make a Porno. But the two apparently didn't have the stomach for Red State, a satirical horror film loosely based on the Westboro Baptist Church. According to Smith at NAB, the Weinsteins said they didn't see an audience for the film.
The self-distribution plan also came in response to what Smith saw as inefficiency in the way films were marketed. Based on previous films, he estimated that it would cost a major studio some $20 million to market the film, or five times what it cost to make.
Personally, I've always liked Smith's films. They are good films with a heart to them, even films such as Zack and Miri Make a Porno or Dogma. If you haven't seen any of his films, I would definitely suggest you do.
This also shows just how loyal a fan-base can be, as Red State has not gotten the best reviews. But then again, none of Smith's films have received an abundance of praise, and it doesn't seem to be a flop.
So, the choice is up to you. Will you see Red State?

The internet has been hypnotized by the catchy rap lyrics of an eight-month pregnant (at the time), Syrian-American poet who is helping to make the hijab the most feminine and empowering headdress on the planet.
Mona Haydar doesn't even have a mix tape, but girl! She's already slayin' it with her first-ever rap video "Hijabi," which has gone viral since its release May 27. Haydar's video has also caught the attention of several major outlets including Mic, BBC, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post and others.
The hijab is often stereotyped as a tool of oppression and terrorism. But the video offers some much needed nourishment for ill-fed minds, stylishly showing its widespread use across different cultures and dispelling misconceptions.
"Given our current administration's insistence on demonizing and maligning the bodies of women and Muslims, among others, I wanted to get this song out as soon as possible," Haydar told HuffPost. "I hoped that a pregnant woman who is obviously Muslim [and] creating art and speaking truth would inspire people and offer some levity, joy and hope."
Throughout the video Haydar is surrounded by beautiful women wearing their scarves and cloths in different styles: turbans, buns, knots, braids, tichels and of course the traditional hijab.
Despite being a God-fearing Christian woman, the song is worth celebrating to me personally for its inclusion of all hijab-wearing women as the head wrap has a significant presence in black fashion and culture.
Of course, I don't say "fashion" to downplay the hijab's religious significance. But you don't have to be Muslim to understand the prejudice wearing a harmless head dress or style — dreadlocks, braids, afro, etc. — can attract.
At a time when fear and ignorance has propelled anti-Muslim sentiment across the U.S, "Hibaji" says holdup! And flips the bird at advocates of hate and judgment like a gangster.
And yes, in case you didn't notice, "Muslim" is a person of a widely-practiced faith not an ethnic group. The video makes an distinguishable effort at including women of all shades in the message.
Ya'll, peep this awesome bridge:
You're just jealous of my sisters
These Mipsters, These hippies
These Prissies, These Sufis
These Dreddies, These Sunnis
These Shii's, Yemenis
Somalis, Libnanis, Pakistanis
These Soories, Sudanis
Iraqis, Punjabies
Afghanis, Yazeedis
Khaleejis, Indonesians
Egyptians, Canadians
Algerians, Nigerians
Americans, Libyans
Tunisians, Palestinians
Hidden beyond the Mekong in laos
Senegalese and Burkina faso
Haydar was raised in Flint, Michigan and moved to Damascus later in life to study Arabic and Islamic spiritually before heading back to the States to enjoy life with her husband and son. She currently lives in New York.
And she's cool as all get out!
Haydar is no stranger to the lyrical genius of rap artists like Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest and Rakim — artists who openly practice Islam.
As the song continues to make its runs around the digital community, the feedback seems to be mostly positive.
I can't wait for Haydar to bless us with a new video if it's her goal to make another one.
In the meantime, keep swaggin' your hijabis, ladies!

David Ayer's all-star bad guy lineup Suicide Squad revolves around a team of villains that are tasked with carrying out dangerous missions for the government in exchange for commuted sentences. Actor Tom Hardy had originally been set to play Rick Flagg, leader of the Suicide Squad. Hardy dropped out of the project under mysterious reasons; with the part being taken up by RoboCop star Joel Kinnaman. Rumors had been circling that Hardy pulling from the project was due to him being unhappy with the script, but in an interview with Collider, Hardy explains the real reason he had to buck, as well as his fondness for the script and concept for Suicide Squad. Those of you scratching your head over the expression "alley" can just mentally equate it to "top par."
Here's what Hardy had to say:
"Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on that and I know the script is really fucking alley and I also know what's gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won't give away too much…it's fucking alley. And that whole territory is something that I would certainly—I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that's gonna, I think, be a very important film for fans."
"There's a very practical element as to why I've missed out on that foray, which is because Alejandro [G. Inarritu] has overshot by three months in Calgary, so we've got to go back out to Patagonia or Alaska to continue shooting The Revenant which has turned into a much bigger beast than we thought, but that also looks exceptional…Literally we wrapped in Calgary for now until we go back in July. It would have smashed the two, I would've had a beard. It was just not gonna happen so I got ass-slammed technically out of Suicide Squad, gutted, so I had to hand it over to Joel Kinnaman, who will do an amazing job. It's just I got bumped out, and that's cool that's the way it is."
So, it seems to be a simple matter of schedules being unable to sync up. Granted, even if the earlier rumors were true, it seems unlikely that Hardy would say anything negative about his "home studio".
However, Hardy hasn't given up on comic book characters just yet. In another excerpt from his interview with Collider, Hardy expressed an open willingness to play The Punisher, Frank Castle.
Collider: I heard Warner Bros. has a few more superhero movies, maybe one or two that they're developing [Laughs].
HARDY: I want The Punisher… I want The Punisher, or Splinter Cell, I want something…I don't know what I want.
You as Punisher could be very interesting.
HARDY: I'm not big enough to be The Punisher, I'm 5'9" [Laughs].
But I actually think that adds to the character.
HARDY: Frank Castle, I would love it. Is that him, isn't it?
Yeah. It's Frank Castle.
After seeing him play Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, it seems that Hardy's height would hardly pose an issue for him to play an imposing character such as Frank Castle. Fans would probably agree that he could successfully pull off a dark, brooding personality as it is!

Calling defined: Where is God directing me?
In business, you would ask someone what his or her life mission is, but within the body of Christ, a calling is not defined by you, but by God.People tend to believe that a calling is defined by you.They tend to think that you can just go about fulfilling your calling anyway you would like to.God tends to be more specific than some desire him to be, and so people will often criticize you for fulfilling your calling because they believe you could do a better job if you followed their lead instead of Gods.The wisdom of following Gods lead is not found within the first few moments you follow him, but months or even years later when he opens your eyes to why he asked you to fulfill what he asked.This is the wisdom in obeying God.
Oh! Keen to greatly update the general style with my steadfast page. Feelings about the whole design at http://www.bestflatfee.ca? Certainly an amazing Ontario based real estate listing service if ever required within the whole Ontario location. Leave your vote. With thanks!
When first called you may go through many emotions.You may believe that you do not desire to fulfill the mission, that it might be too big or not the desire of your heart.As you walk within your calling by faith that God is bigger than you are, you tend to walk through many trials of faith as people will have their own feelings about your calling and choose to support you or not.Your obedience to God is simply measured by whether you are doing what he asked.Deviance from God is sin, so if called, you must walk the line if you wish to remain without sin.God has a faith within you if he calls you.It is a great symbol of his trust that you could complete a task for him on earth.It is a high honor.Many are called and few are chosen, so if you do not fulfill the call, God already has others who can.Consider that Noah was probably not the only man called to build an ark, but likely the only one to complete it.
As you go on with your calling, you will grow through many trials surrounding your continued effort towards fulfilling your calling, and understanding your calling.Isaiah spent his whole life understanding what God had spoken to him.When God speaks to you, his words are often meant to be ones of discovery that will unfold while you faithfully move forward walking in his direction and guidance.
Thank you guys! I personally Facebooked a acquaintance that we would list their qualified Coquitlam based dentists, http://smilesunlimited.ca in a new post. So if you'll be researching to find a dentist around the whole British Columbia area, these individuals would be superior.
And finally, naturally I have to tell you the base concept to this little material was supplied via Julius over at C1P Solutions. They certainly are a great managed services providers. I really admire a useful suggestion!
Special Thanks
http://stevechittick.ca - Your understanding is extraordinary 🙂 Appreciate you giving 🙂

Sadly, I know a lot of people that are addicted to painkillers. It's not an uncommon thing these days. Chances are whoever is reading this article knows people that are battling a similar situation. There is a painkiller addiction epidemic in America right now. People incur a traumatic injury, go to their doctor for relief, and are then hooked for life. Opioid based painkillers are not as effective as marijuana based off of a number of studies and personal testimonies.
Marijuana opponents will push back and say that the studies that have been conducted so far are not as comprehensive as they need to be. Marijuana supporters agree with the need for more research, which is why we have been pushing for it for so long despite constant hurdles being put in the way by the same marijuana opponents who are calling for more research. A 'first-of-its-kind' study is coming to Connecticut, in which researchers will look specifically at marijuana's ability to treat pain. Per the Hartford Courant:
A first-of-its-kind research program by a St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center team to gauge the effectiveness of medical marijuana as a painkiller for traumatic injuries such as broken ribs has been approved by the state.
Hospital and state officials said Friday the program's goal is to develop medical marijuana as a safer alternative to the highly addictive painkillers that have led to a deadly opioid epidemic in Connecticut and across the nation.
State Consumer Protection Commissioner Jonathan Harris said this is the first research program of its kind in the U.S.
This has tremendous potential to do a lot of good for not just patients in the study, but for patients worldwide. This study is going to be closely watched by both opponents and supporters around the world, and favorable results are going to do a lot to push marijuana reform forward. No one should be forced to use harmful opioid painkillers if they don't want to. If someone wants to make the safer choice they should be allowed to do so!

Continued from Part two
The Jeffersonians, compared to the Hamiltonians or Wilsonians, are decidedly inward-looking. They believe in a largely non-interventionist foreign policy, and in concentrating resources on domestic reforms.
Of the four groups of Meade's spectrum, the Jeffersonians are most inclined to oppose the rise of the "military-industrial complex"… something that Eisenhower famously warned against as he was leaving office, and which is an important source of political influence for both Hamiltonians and Wilsonians.
As I mentioned earlier, many common Americans are either Jeffersonian or Jacksonian in their outlook. If you talk to an American about the India-Pakistan situation and he says something like "sort it out yourselves, it's none of our business"… that American is most likely a Jeffersonian.
The typical Jeffersonian is to the "left" of the American political spectrum, upholding traditional "liberal" ideas such as increased Federal Government involvement in social and economic development, upliftment of underprivileged sections, civil rights, environmental conservationism, regulation of corporations, global initiatives against poverty/disease/global warming and so on. Such politicians as Dennis Kucinich are at the extreme left of this group.
However, not all Jeffersonians are leftist. Libertarian Isolationists such as Ross Perot and Ron Paul, who believe in a Fortress America model where the US military is exclusively employed to guard America's borders and enforce illegal immigration laws, also purvey an essentially Jeffersonian foreign policy.
Jeffersonians with respect to India: As such, the Jeffersonian attitude towards India tends to be neutral… but this is largely irrelevant. That is because Jeffersonian Presidents tend to hand over control of foreign policy to Wilsonians. Jimmy Carter relied on Cold-War-Era Brzezinski, and Barack Obama relies on Clinton-Wilsonians such as Joe Biden, Richard Holbrooke and co. with Brzezinski still present as a mentor-figure. The advantage India has today is that it has cultivated a constituency with the Hamiltonians, who are much more powerful at present than they were during the Carter regime. With the Bush-Wilsonians largely in disgrace, the Hamiltonians are our primary channel of influencing American foreign policy in a positive manner at present.
4) The Jacksonians are also, primarily, inward-looking, though they differ dramatically from the Jeffersonians in terms of their domestic policy agenda. While the Jeffersonians tend to be idealists, the Jacksonians are fervent populists. In the tradition of Andrew Jackson, they stand for increased power of the executive branch (the President) relative to the legislature or judiciary; limited federal government role in the affairs of the country; the "patronage" policy of actively placing political supporters into appointed offices; expanded states' rights; and decentralization.
Also in the tradition of Andrew Jackson, who pledged to expand the United States "from sea to shining sea", the Jacksonians believe in America's Manifest Destiny as the natural leader of the world and in securing America's influence overseas by any means necessary… not shying away from unilateral military action whenever required.
Some articles on Meade's spectrum describe Jacksonians as the only group that believes in American Exceptionalism. From an Indian point of view, this is not strictly true… ALL the four groups believe in American Exceptionalism… but the Jacksonians are the ones who most prominently wear it on their sleeves.
Jacksonians tend to be issue-based in their politics, rallying around anti-abortion movements, restriction of gay rights, defence of second-amendment gun rights, unapologetic Christian influence in schools and government institutions etc.
Jacksonians, unlike Jeffersonians, do not make "non-intervention" a cornerstone of their foreign policy views; they are quite happy to intervene in a muscular fashion whenever they deem it necessary to do so. However, their perspective is largely focused on internal priorities, so again, Jacksonian Presidents of the United States have traditionally handed over control of foreign policy to other groups. Reagan depended on Hamiltonians like James Baker and Cold-War-Era Wilsonians such as Alexander Haig. George W. Bush also depended on Hamiltonians, but ceded a large amount of policy space to the new Bush-Wilsonians or Neoconservatives of his day.

St. Louis Fountain Consulting Firm Has Supplied Nearly Every Fountain And Water Feature At The World-Renowned Garden For 30 Years
Hydro Dramatics, the St. Louis-based fountain consulting firm, recently completed several new fountains and water features in three of the Missouri Botanical Garden's newest gardens: the Doris I. Schnuck Children's Garden: A Missouri Adventure, the George Washington Carver Garden and the Ottoman Garden. Hydro Dramatics has an exceptionally long history of service to the Garden, having created, designed and maintained nearly every fountain and water feature within its 79 acres for the past 30 years.
"We value our long relationship with the Missouri Botanical Garden," says Kerry Friedman, vice president and general manager for Hydro Dramatics. "No two fountain projects at the world-renowned garden are ever alike in design and execution. We take pride in the knowledge that we provide beautiful and unique water features for the public to enjoy."
The Doris I. Schnuck Children's Garden, which covers two acres, is designed to give children an interactive opportunity to explore 19th century Missouri frontier and life along the river. Among the prominent water features that Hydro Dramatics installed in the children's garden is a popular and cooling splash area, complete with "popper" jet fountains and a mushroom pump. In addition, Hydro Dramatics installed all pumps and a control system for the water features in the pump house, which was designed to look like a paddle wheel, and supplied all of the necessary equipment, controls, filters and chemical systems for the garden's dazzling waterfall.
In the one-and-a-half acre Carver Garden, the focal point is a life-size bronze statue of Dr. George Washington Carver, located on a walking bridge between two fountains and a reflecting pool. At the request of the Missouri Botanical Garden and in keeping with the Carver Garden's design, Hydro Dramatics installed all fountain equipment underwater, rather than in an exterior or underground vault. "The underwater method is the most traditional way of fountain installation and design," Friedman says.
Hydro Dramatics has also finished its work on water features for the Missouri Botanical Garden's new walled Ottoman Garden, which is scheduled to open later this year. This unique one-quarter acre garden is devoted to enjoyment of the senses and includes various fountains and artifacts to provide a strong sense of authenticity toward Turkish history during the Ottoman Empire. Hydro Dramatics installed a traditional wall fountain, or selesibil, in which water drips down the tiers of a wall, creating a pleasing, relaxing experience. The garden's focal point is a shallow pool with jets spouting gently along the rim.
The Missouri Botanical Garden, founded in 1859, is a National Historic Landmark and a center for botanical research, education and horticultural display.
Established in 1972, Hydro Dramatics is a division of Missouri Machinery & Engineering Co. Inc. (www.momach.com). This affiliation enhances Hydro Dramatics' technological and fountain creative expertise and provides its design team with direct access to the fabrication/manufacturing capabilities needed to tackle the most sophisticated fountain projects.
Hydro Dramatics created the Gateway Geyser, the world's tallest fountain, on the East St. Louis riverfront. Among recently completed projects are water features at the renovated Grand Basin and Jewel Box in Forest Park, the Cypress Swamp at the Saint Louis Zoo and the fountains at Saint Louis University.
In addition to creating fountains locally, regionally and nationally, Hydro Dramatics provides fountain equipment overseas. The firm's recent international projects include designing and creating fountains in San Juan, Puerto Rico; within the city of Doha, Qatar; and at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

Singburi is one of Thailand's central provinces. It sees very few tourists, but is a perfect place if you want to get away from the tried-and-trodden tourist track and explore somewhere a bit different in the Land of Smiles. Often referred to as the Spiritual Heartland of the country, and voted several times by Thais as the happiest province in which to live, Singburi is easy to reach from the lively capital of Bangkok … though it certainly feels like a different world!
Solo travellers can take a bus from Morchit Bus Station or a minivan from Victory Monument; when you arrive at Singburi Bus Station there are several cheap hotels within a five-minute walk and the small provincial town is easy to navigate by foot. Plenty of motorbike taxis wait in the bus station, along with a handful of tuk tuks too.
The town's main attractions are fairly close together, though jumping in a tuk tuk is the best way to easily tick a few attractions off your list in one go.
Here are some of the best things to enjoy in Singburi:
Wat Phra Non Jaksi
Another significant temple in Singburi is Wat Phra Non Jaksi. This one is famous for its long golden reclining Buddha image. There is an old wooden boat at the entrance. Take some time to explore the grounds and you might see some buffalos. You can also pick up some snacks and very cheap souvenirs in the small market.
Town Clock
Most of Thailand's provincial towns have their own special clock, usually depicting something that the province is famous for. Singburi's clock, in the heart of town, has a large fish on top of it, representative of the snake head fish that is a local delicacy. See the clock and then head to the area of Mae La to enjoy a meal of a fresh and locally caught fish.
Wat Pikun Thong
The lovely Wat Pikun Thong temple complex is most well-known for its large golden seated Buddha statue. It can be seen from far and wide as you approach the temple. The grounds are also filled with many other Buddha images, depicting the Lord Buddha in a variety of postures. Along with statues of revered monks, you may also be surprised to see quirky and whimsical figures of people and animals dotted on the grassy areas. You can buy a bag of fish food and feed the fish in the large pond. Just outside of the main temple complex is a colourful Hindu shrine dedicated to the elephant god, Ganesha.
Wat Sawang Arom
Close to the ton centre, Wat Sawang Arom is a fairly non-descript temple, pretty similar to most regular working temples around the country. What makes this one different though is an onsite museum dedicated to shadow puppetry. You can marvel at many large and intricately carved pieces, used in traditional shadow puppet shows. Some are very old.
There are several other temples around the province, and the town has to beautiful swimming pools. Other places of interest in Singburi include Inburi Museum, the Bang Rachan Hero's Monument, and the Mae Nam Noi Kilns.

The bike was completely taken into pieces, new sprayed, all chrome parts got a new surface and then the bike was again built together. More than 200 different whisky labels had been sticked all over the bike and there were also scottish landscapes, myth and legends placed on the bike. Technical detail like a new exhaust system or better brakes had been installed and the bike was called then the drunken harley.

Confession time (Please read the notes!!!)
by cricketjeff on December 10, 2008. © Jeff Green, All rights reserved
I wish you wouldn't read the things I write
I hate the way that everything's a moan
I couldn't give a damn about your fight
You whinge at me and think I ought to care
But really I just want the best for me
There isn't anything I want to share
Why should I give you anything for free?
So bugger off the lot of you, you hear!
I never want to see you here again
I hope that this is making things quite clear
That other people's problems are a pain!
I'm selfish and I hate you all you know
It's time I put my selfishness on show!!!!!
Author notes
The prompt is to write something that will shock the contest host!
So I have written exactly the opposite of my feelings, I hope everyone knows this is not how I (cricketjeff) feel about anyone!
I couldn't think of anything else that would shock.
I repeat I do not think this way!!!

Postpartum Depression Affects Everyone
Postpartum depression can affect anyone regardless of social status or wealth. The list of celebs who have had to gain control of this very real part of pregnancy and childbirth continues to grow. The latest celebrity to admit to having suffered from postpartum depression is singer Marie Osmond.
Reports published recently online revealed that in 1999 following the birth of her son Matthew she had the worst case of the baby blues ever. While admitting that she had baby blues in previous births, with Matthew it was bad and became more than just that. In an interview published online at the Daily Mail website, Osmond said, "Then one day, she snapped. I remember walking down the stairs and putting Matthew in the arms of the nanny. I can't stay here, I told her. There is something wrong, really wrong with me. I have to leave until I figure it out."
Thankfully, her husband and mother helped her seek treatment and she got better. Osmond said she was shocked to know her own mother had also had her own battle with the demon of postpartum depression.
Symptoms of Postpartum Depression
It is important to identify the symptoms of Postpartum depression so that help can be found before disaster strikes. Some of the most commons symptoms include:
- Thoughts of suicide
- Thoughts of harming the baby or even others
- Extreme anxiety
- Elevated levels of stress
- Change in sleep pattern
- Desire to stay in bed
- Loss of appetite
The feelings of Postpartum depression are far more elevated than those of baby blues which affects many new moms. If you or a loved one is pregnant, start learning about this potentially serious condition before the birth so as to be prepared.
Other Celebrities Who Battled Postpartum Depression
Another celebrity who has had to deal with the condition is Brooke Shields. She was lambasted by Tom Cruise for talking about using prescription medication to deal with postpartum depression. Shields went on to write a book which she hoped would help other women, Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression. Others include Gwyneth Paltrow, actress Gena Lee Nolin formerly of Baywatch who had the condition with all three of her children; Angelina Jolie, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Amanda Peet and Lisa Marie Presley.

The twists and turns of life are often amusing. One such twist proceeds as follows: I recall sitting in the first of many undergraduate philosophy courses. It was during this particular course that I was first exposed in any substantial way to Plato's Cave, and later to St. Aquinas' Five Proofs of God, both of which have become cornerstones of my professional and spiritual development, respectively. Equally vivid was the survey of St. Augustine's work, City of God. I cannot remember the specific book we studied, most likely Book 19, but what I do remember is the remark my professor made in response to a less philosophically enthusiastic student who was compelled by some unseen force to make known how laborious were the readings, to which my professor responded, "Count your blessings. In graduate school, they make you read all 1,100 pages of this thing."
Former professor mine, it would appear that the joke is on you.
Like so many others, I participated in the "#CivDei" course (short for De ciuitate Dei, which is itself short for De ciuitate Dei contra paganos) offered on Twitter by Catholic University of America professor Chad Pecknold. Perhaps you have read about it in one of the many outlets that have featured stories on this event, or perhaps you participated in it yourself. Regardless, #CivDei, the hashtag used to participate in the wider conversation that went on to become something of a communal source of pride and solidarity, was something truly unique. In a time when our modern culture's myriad dysfunctions are displayed in their perfect form on social media, #CivDei was something that worked.
For two hours every Thursday night countless men and women from countless locations logged on faithfully to participate in what Pecknold described as a high level book club. One thing became very quickly evident even to the casual observer; something very strange and unique was happening. In discussing both with Professor Pecknold, as well as fellow citizens, the details of this dusty 1,100 page work, it was plain to see that everyone was truly immersed in the often times prohibitively dense material. Yet, this was not surface level engagement. It was university-level studiousness. We not only discussed what the professor told us, but we picked it apart amongst ourselves, because we actually did the readings – a rarity among all but the most dedicated student in traditional academic settings. What inspired such a faithful and determined following?
The People Have Spoken
In speaking with fellow citizens, patterns began to emerge demonstrating the value, no, more than that – the providential spectacle, and the pleasure of the #CivDei experience. One aspect that stands out involved the sense of community among participants fostered by the course. Amy Thompson, participating from Aiken, South Carolina, told me, "During the course of a Thursday evening, book discussion was the main, but side conversations prompted by the content of the evening fostered development of relationships. This has resulted in a sense of connection throughout the week with my fellow course-mates." James from Atlanta wrote to me saying, "It [any given class] was jovial, everyone was polite and kind (even during some hot-button Christian theology disagreement areas). I might have been able to get through the book on my own, but having the community there was a huge motivation. People would bring in other related bible verses, references from history, art and music that related, and all kinds of other reading references." One more, from Lee of Birmingham, Alabama, who writes, "When I felt too tired to read and sometimes too tired or ill to attend the live sessions, I couldn't pass up the interaction with the other participants. Didn't take long for the whole group to begin to feel like family to me and I didn't want to miss anything that anyone said." How many of us skipped a class in undergrad because we slightly overslept?
This was not the sense of community one feels when sharing carefully curated pictures on other forms of social media; #CivDei aimed to go deep, and all participating citizens happily obliged. James cited St. Augustine's argumentation as a particularly interesting aspect. Said James, "He [St. Augustine] is fair to his opponents, but unyielding and meticulous in his critique. He makes some things seem so plain that you wonder how you never thought of it." Amy echoed a similar appreciation, which I will quote in full:
"Augustine did not just write a book to bemoan the downfall of man and culture, but rather to identify the problems and to offer the solution; he didn't pull any punches about false beliefs, but clearly loved the people who were enslaved by them. Again, the application to present-day engagement of the culture is clear: We are not meant to compromise our belief in Truth, and yet we are meant to love those with whom we share this world. The fact that he does this in such a rational, cogent, unassailable way provides us as modern readers material to approach the broken culture in which we live with a reasoned defense of our faith."
And yet, the value for the participants goes deeper still. Ellen from Ohio said that after reading and participating in #CivDei, her ideal Catholic lifetime reading plan is: "Bible, Catechism, City of God…You could throw out half the manuals and courses and just tell everyone to read City of God. It is all there: Biblical exegesis, theology, doctrine, apologetics, history." That is high praise, indeed. James contributes to this sentiment: "I'm more familiar with Aquinas-style arguments, but Augustine brought in history, scripture, and other forms of evidence for his points which gave a wonderful breadth to the work. I know I gained a lot just from his exegesis."
Perhaps the most interesting pattern to evolve is, for lack of a better phrase, the most anti-modern of the lot. What I mean to say is that those I spoke to often cited the value that comes of reading such an old volume. Says Amy, "I think it is encouraging to read about the faith of those who have gone before us, and to realize that we stand (or ought to) on the shoulders of giants who enable us to study what they have written and carry it forward into our lives." James appreciated the deep dive into beauty offered by Augustine. To wit, "I found myself sometimes liking the art and prose more than the purely rational. That's not usually how I am, but City of God throws everything at you. It helped me see the value in those other areas and how they elevate beyond just a purely rational take."
One final take from a fellow student that I enjoyed too much to neglect or edit in any way. This, from Lee:
"Augustine identified the will to power, more specifically, the will to dominate, as the libido dominandi: the lust to dominate which becomes the lust that dominates; the will to enslave others which, ultimately, enslaves the enslaver. The first thing I thought of when I read this was Tolkien's Ring of Power. No one can use the Ring without in turn being used by it. I also heard echoes of Romans wherein Paul talks about how rebellious men knew God, yet "they did not honor him as God…but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened…" This was brought up in the very first session and it stuck with me all the way through the course. The people I hear screaming the loudest these days about freedom (and, often, their freedom from religion, from truth and reality) are the very ones who seem most enslaved by their overpowering lust to intimidate, dominate, and even eliminate everyone and everything around them. May their hearts turn toward the Lord that they may have life and that abundantly. Blessed Mother, pray for us. Saint Augustine, pray for us. Amen."
Personal Observations
I share the sentiments expressed above fully. Everything said above is absolutely accurate and true. I would, however, be remiss if I did not express my personal observations as a compliment to those expressed by my fellow citizens. For the sake of brevity I will only write to one, namely the sense of not just community, but faithful Christian unity that #CivDei inspired among we who participated.
Reading the responses above shines a light on the unity of thought and appreciation toward the faith and thought of this great Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church, this most highly revered of saints; yet half of the students I spoke to are not Catholic, but in fact are Protestant. One might not expect such rich and enthusiastic study of so thoroughly Catholic a figure by citizens of Wittenberg and Geneva. There are even those of a more fundamental bent of Evangelicalism who would suggest that such shameful intermingling with citizens of Rome should be repented of, for how could anything good come from Rome? This Dark Age thinking was thoroughly discredited by #CivDei. There were times when discussion might get distracted by a certain point of theological understanding, but any hint of contention was quite clearly of a purely academic nature.
#CivDei showed that men and women of God, in spite of doctrinal differences, can find common ground on which to stand, and from that ground may begin to work towards a common and edifying good. #CivDei highlighted what I have long suggested to my fundamentalist friends – that the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism need not be so great as to prohibit our celebrating and building upon what we have in common, which is our belief in the infallible omnipotence of the Father, the redemptive mission of the Son, and the instructive power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit, and the sharing of all among all within the Triune God. It is easy to focus on division. It provides a sinful sense of spiritual superiority – thank you, God, that I am not like them – but to what end?
If the Godhead is Triune, if He is three-in-one (John 10.30, 14.16-17); and if Christ prays for our unity (John 17.23); and if the Church is one body with many members (1 Cor. 12.12-14); and if the body is wounded by the loss of even a single member (1 Cor. 12.15-27); and if there are to be no divisions amongst us (1 Cor. 1.10); and all of this in order to attain the whole measure of fullness in Christ (Eph. 4.11-13); then is it not the Christian imperative to seek what unity we may, rather that perpetuating division? Raymond, a PC (USA) ordained minister of word and sacrament in Philadelphia, put it this way:
"I delighted how there were professors, priests, nuns, catholic laity, Lutheran / Reformed (and Presbyterian) clergy and laity, and non-denominational protestant participants. All traditions rightly claim Augustine, and it was a delight to discuss him ecumenically."
Quite so, and in this 500th year of the Reformation, that is something to consider deeply.
#CivDei worked. It used an otherwise contentious medium to bring peace and wisdom to a sizable sample of Christendom. It brought St. Augustine to many who claimed that were it not for the course, they would not have read City of God at all. It demonstrated that Christianity is at its best when it works together.

So I thought I should do a little blog post on our time in South Africa. We were very lucky enough to visit three areas during our trip, this part is about Cape Town.
Saturday 6 September
8.30am and we were on out way to Jamie's mum and dad's out at Edgehead. The first part of our journey was Edinburgh – London. We had a little wait in Edinburgh airport so we had some beers and some pizza at The Gathering. It wasn't bad but boy was it busy. Scotland were playing Germany the next day so the airport was full of kilts, (we only lost 2-0, not to shabby!)
Our flight was British Airways, I like flying British Airways, a little cuppa goes a long way.
Once we landed in Heathrow we had around a 3 hour wait. Jamie's mum had packed some salmon sandwiches and treated us to two bottles of Moet champagne – well, start as you mean to go on I guess.
Our plane was a giant double decker jumbo jet and I'd reserved us a two seater upstairs. We had a little cubby-hole on the side, lovely big seats, entertainment system. It was pretty good, it would have been better if our arm rest could have gone all the way back and we could have snuggled properly to get some sleep but never mind. For dinner I went with the veggie curry, it smelt so good and to be honest it wasn't bad. They did run out of Heineken which was a little bit annoying. We didn't get much sleep on the flight, two hours maybe, just couldn't get comfortable. Maybe it's one of those things that come if you travel more.
At 7am Sunday we arrived in Johannesburg OR Tambo airport, said good bye to Jamie's folks (they were off to game view at Impodimo in Madikwe)
Sunday 7 September
We arrived in Cape Town at 1.30pm, 28 hours after we left the house – yikes! We had reserved a room at the Cape Town Lodge, mainly because we could use up some of our Avios points. Five nights B&B cost us £240 which wasn't bad at all.
As it was our first time we had arranged a pick-up from the hotel. Our driver was so nice in his suit with a framed sign 'Mr Simpson'. Our holiday had began. We got to our hotel about 2pm, showered and had a wander around. Almost all shops were close as it was a Sunday but we found a place called NomNoms and had some food. Jamie had ribs & chips, I had a pasta dish and a pint of Castle lager each.....it came to about £8. I think this was when we realised just how cheap it was.
I was asleep by 6pm, Jamie not much later.
Monday 8 & Tuesday 9 September
Today we're going to visit the V&AWaterfront, Aquarium and the Springbok (Rugby) museum
The V&A Waterfront has a lot of shops, restaurants etc, a bit like putting Ocean Terminal, The Gyle and Omni together. But with amazing views of the ocean and Table Mountain.
Firstly we went to Two Oceans Aquarium, it cost us R150 each (about £7) but it crapped all over Deep Sea World. It was really good, very interactive. And we got to see penguins being fed. This happens twice a day and so worth it. The penguins were literally 2ft from us.
Afterwards we went to the Springbok Experience. Jamie is a massive rugby fan and plays so it made perfect sense. The cost for this was R50 each (£4). It was more for Jamie but I had fun too. Again this had lots of interactive things to take part in, videos to watch etc. Worth it for any rugby fan or even just to pass a few hours.
During these we had stopped at the local 'Scottish' bar, Mitchelle's Ale House, this and their neighboring bar, The Ferryman, became regular 'to-go-to' places. I tried their 'Milk and Honey' beer which was lovely. I can't see this appearing at home any time soon as it only has a 7 day shelf life.
We then had a 'posh' lunch before returning for drinks & dinner. Our posh lunch was at Tasca I have never had such nice mussels before, they came in a creamy garlic and white wine sauce with a side of fries which quick swifty got dipped in the left over sauce. Jamie had the lobster, which I have to say was overpriced compared to other places in the area. Our two dishes and a bottle of wine was about £70. But you'd probably pay that in some places just for the lobster. Our view was amazing too.
On Tuesday I had pre-booked us a days wine tour with Luhambo Tours we were picked up by our guide Cedric at 9.00am and we didn't return till 5.30pm. Usually the maximum people on these guides is 7, we got very lucky and it was just the two of us. Cedric was brilliant too, we spoke about everything and anything, and I even got an email from him a week later about the Scottish Referendum.
We visited five vineyards and had around 36 wines and 14 cheeses. It was brilliant.
We went to:Simonsig in Stellenbosch
Fairview in Paarl
Kanonkop also in Stellenbosch
Boekenhoutskloof in Franschhoek
and one other in Franschhoek which I didn't catch the name of.
All the people in the vineyards were lovely, we weren't forced into buying anything or looked upon for not buying anything.
Before our last two vineyard we stopped for lunch at Roco - we had no idea what to expect but we were blown away. The view was stunning.
Jamie had ostrich and I had a chicken & pasta dish, along with a few glasses off wine (you'd think we would have had enough by now!!)
The total for our tour was R850 each (£53). It was so very much worth it.
We nipped out for some 'fast food', ribs & chips for Jamie, pizza for me and two cokes. Cape Town is strange place at night, lots of security around but also lots of beggars (even though they are polite about it). I wouldn't recommend walking about alone, even having a 70kg weight-lifting, rugby playing boyfriend in-toe it was still a little unpleasant.
Wednesday 10 September
We decided to go to Robben Island as Table Mountain was extremely cloudy. If, like me, you aren't schooled up on Robben Island 'Since the end of the 17th century, Robben Island has been used for the isolation of mainly political prisoners' – most notable would of course be Nelson Mandela.
We booked our time slot for 1pm (advisable on busy days) and it was R250 each (£14). The boat journey across took around 50 minutes. Once of the boat we were taken around most of the island by mini bus – it's pretty big and you only have 2 hours.
Our first stops were things such as the church, the leper cemetery, the shop that the guards who lived on the island could use. Our first proper stop was Robert Sobukwe's cell. Sobukwe was kept in solitary confinement but permitted certain privileges including books, newspapers, civilian clothes, bread etc. He lived in a separate area on the Island where he had no contact with other prisoners. The only contacts were his secret hand signals whilst outside for exercise. Despite this he succeeded in giving his approval to the external PAC to adopt a Maoist political program. He studied during this time and received (among others) a degree in economics from the University of London.
It is speculated that the South African administration had profiled Robert Sobukwe as a more radical and difficult opponent than the regular ANC prisoners. Sobukwe was released in 1969. He was allowed to live in Kimberley with his family but remained under house arrest. Kimberley was suggested as an area where he could not easily foster subversive activities and also a place where he could live and work, while being easily monitored by the state. He was also restricted through a banning order, which disallowed political activities.
Sobukwe died in 1978 from lung cancer.
Next we stopped at the limestone quarry where the prisoners would work for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. The prisoners with an education, some lawyers, some teachers, would also teach those in a small 'self-made' cave. The prisoners had a saying during this time 'each one, teach one'
At the top of the limestone quarry there is a pile of rocks – you may not think of this as sentimental unless told. This pile of rocks was started by Mandela, he wandered off during a reunion around 1200 ex detainees and placed a rock, the rest followed.
We stopped on at the Lighthouse after this for some photo ops, amazing views of Cape Town from the Island – I can't imagine what it must have been like seeing land so far from reach. Some prisoners never had visits from family members, some didn't know how to visit, others just didn't know where their loved ones were.
We were then taken to the main prison and given a talk by a guide. Our guide had actually spent time in the prison himself as a youth. He wanted to make it VERY clear that not all the guards were brutal and that there were some nice ones.
Lastly we got to see Nelson Mandela's cell. He spent 11 years on Robben Island and in this cell. The cell couldn't have measured more than 6x4. It felt a little wrong being there but they are trying to promote it as a place of peace, courage, determination, strength and good.
Our journey back was choppy and we got soaked!!
We headed back to our hotel, showered and went back down to the Waterfront. Dinner was flatbread, a prawn and chicken basket, loaded potato skins & chips at Ferrymans. Yum.
That evening there was live music and the guy was was great. Lots of covers, lots of classics. I had a few mojitos in jam jars, beer, Sky vodka. A good night.
Thursday 11 September
Today was our last day so we took the chance and headed to Table Mountain......the cableway was closed!! We still had amazing views but it would have been great to get to the top. Always next time.
Afterwards we headed to the V&A and went to a restaurant called Belthazar's (the best Steak restaurant in Cape Town) Jamie made the right choice and went for a 450g steak, I went for mussels again. These weren't as good and almost made me throw up at one point. The sauce was good as were the fries for dipping.
We went back to our hotel and had a nap before our last dinner at Ferrymans. Burger & fries, ribs, wings & fries, 5 beers, mojito and a sky vodka - £34! Insane.
We headed back to pack the rest of things for our 9.00am flight the next day and watched Despicable Me for the 3rd time. Next stop – Madi a Thavha, Limpopo.

Author Guidelines for Writing a Self-Help Book That's Influential
Getting Started
Okay, so you have an idea for a book to help others, based on what you've learned from your own struggles or challenges that you've overcome.
I published a self-help book, so I can tell you what you need to know. This article is not about my book. It's about what you can do with your idea.
I'll give you important guidelines so that you can successfully write and publish your own inspirational book too.
What to Discuss in Your Book
One of the best things to write about in order to inspire someone is to share the struggles you've personally had in life.
Readers can relate to that. If they can benefit from reading a comparison of common struggles, they will be intrigued and they'll want to continue reading.
Always Keep Notes
You probably already have a lot of thoughts on your subject and maybe even wrote sections of it, hopefully in files on your computer. I say that because this is the most advantageous. Handwritten notes, although useful, still need to be typed up eventually.
You'll never know when something you've experienced will become useful for explaining an issue you need to elaborate on. I write notes about lots of events in my life and how I feel about them. I find these notes useful for simply giving me ideas for articles to write.
When I was working on my book, I found that the notes I kept throughout time were a goldmine for me. Sometimes when we write something down, it either validates our true feelings or shows us where we might have gone wrong. These thoughts are tremendously useful when shared with a reader in an inspirational book.
Apply Self Enlightenment
Think about the times in your life when you had difficult times. What challenges have you had that you overcame? What struggles have you dealt with?
Use these events to discuss what you had learned and what you did to achieve success. Elaborate on it to teach your reader the same lessons you've gotten out of it.
Explain what went wrong and what went right. Discuss the reasons why, and what you personally learned from it. Don't talk down to the reader, but rather, discuss these events in the first person. That is, talk about it as your own interpretation of your inspiration. Share it, and the reader will take it for what it's worth without feeling intimidated.
Clearly Organize Your Thoughts
You'll need to concentrate on making the topics of your book well organized. In order to get the most impact, it should be easy to follow and to understand.
As you continue writing, you'll find the need to move things around. After I wrote an entire chapter about a particular subject in my book, I realized that I referred to something that I did not yet explain. In my head I knew what I was talking about, but I realized that my reader would be lost. All I had to do was move one chapter before the other. You probably will find yourself doing that too.
Ask yourself if you've clearly made your point after completing a section or chapter. Remember to proofread often. This is not a job just to be left for last. You may discover things you need to elaborate on or explain in a better way.
Stay Focused
I read a lot of other people's books and articles. I often notice that the author went off on tangents. I might be unique in the way I think because my background is computer programming, so I tend to keep my thoughts flowing logically. For this reason it bothers me when a writer loses me because they started talking about one thing and suddenly, in the middle of it, they go onto another topic before making their point.
I'm telling you this because I think it can help put you above the competition if you write logically. Discuss one thing at a time. Keep it simple. Start with an introduction to what you want your reader to grasp, and then make sure you give them what they expect in as simple terms as possible. If you don't do that, I'm sure you will lose some readers.
Of course there will always be those who don't even notice that you went off on a tangent because they aren't really paying attention as they read. People do that. I do it sometimes. They're just scanning.
Why chance it. Make it worthwhile for those readers who grasp every word and nuance. Proofread everything and watch for the way you explain things. Is it consistent? Did you give the reader some expectation of what you're discussing and suddenly find yourself talking about something else?
Make sure you catch those mistakes. You can always use the content. You just need to move things around and keep each individual thought in it's own place, or it's own chapter.
Eliminate Useless Content
When I proofread my own work, I sometimes find sections of text I wrote that are either redundant, or just not clear. In some cases it doesn't even fit in. It happens. When we write we are concentrating on what we're writing and not thinking about the way it comes across.
That's okay while writing. Let the creative juices flow. However, when finalizing the book, it's important to catch anything that doesn't work. Either do some more editing or take it out. I had deleted many sections of content that I've written, thinking I would use it in my book, but later decided they were just fluff. You don't want fluff. Trust me.
Do Your Research
The most important thing is to be correct with everything you say. If you're getting into something that you're not sure about, don't invent some bizarre explanation.
Look it up. Do a Google search and educate yourself. You'll become an authority on the subject and your readers will take notice and appreciate you as an author.
Create a Book Title That Sells
This is the last thing you need to do. You can write up a preliminary title just as a reference before you get started, but you'll come up with a better title after you have completed your book. This is because you'll be able to write a title that reflects clearly what to expect from the book.
The title needs to sell the book. It needs to attract attention. A good title is very important for marketing purposes. It should include keywords that relate to the subject. Most importantly, your book should provide the information that is promised by the title, or you will have disappointed readers and you may get poor reviews.
If you use a publisher, they have personnel who develop a title that focuses on marketing as well as explaining what the book is about in a catchy way. However, if you are self-publishing then this is all up to you. So give it the attention that it deserves. After all, you wouldn't want all the time and effort you put into the book to go to waste just because of a cover with a poor title.
Where Should You Publish?
I'll just explain this briefly since this requires an entire article dedicated to the subject. You basically have two options:
- Let someone do it for you. You can pay a publisher to create the print image of the pages and design the cover art. Do a Google search for publishers and do your due diligence to determine their honesty.
- You can do it yourself. I use Microsoft Word, which has all the tools needed to format a book. You'll need to be able to design your own covers, including the spine. Any image editing software should suffice. Some self-publishing companies offer online tools to easily create the cover art online, and automatically calculate the width of the spine based on the number of pages.
If you decide you want to self-publish and create your own book, I wrote a detailed discussion for you in another article: How to Properly Format and Self-Publish Your Book.
Final Review
Remember the important details.
- Use your own life's lessons to teach others.
- Keep notes of events that occur to get ideas for content.
- Stay focused and organize your content in a logical manner.
- Eliminate unnecessary sections of content.
- Do research when required to be sure you give your reader correct information.
- Check it, and re-check it, with repeated proofreading.
- Create a marketable title that sells.
Soon you'll be a published author helping others with an inspirational book your readers will cherish and appreciate.
This content is accurate and true to the best of the author's knowledge and is not meant to substitute for formal and individualized advice from a qualified professional.

Ballymena United produced a battling performance to draw 1-1 with a Glasgow Rangers XI in goalkeeper Dwayne Nelson's testimonial.
The sides produced an entertaining pre-season fixture, played in front of a bumper Showgrounds crowd who gave Nelson a standing ovation when he was substituted near the end.
The 30-year-old had been given a guard of honour by both teams as he took to the pitch before the game with his two children.
And when the action started, Nelson was called into action early on as he acrobatically tipped Rangers skipper Ross McCrorie's header from a Ross Lyon corner over the crossbar.
At the other end, Eoin Kane - one of four youngsters promoted from the reserves to the first team squad by Glenn Ferguson for this season - warmed Rangers keeper Rob McCrorie's palms with a 25-yard shot.
United went in front on 12 minutes when skipper Allan Jenkins dispossessed a defender and bore down on goal before unselfishly squaring for last season's top scorer Matthew Tipton to roll the ball home from 12 yards.
Kane was again involved when he burst onto a loose ball but just as he was about to pull the trigger from the edge of the area, he was denied by a perfectly-timed sliding tackle from Ross McCrorie.
Ballymena suffered a blow when Tipton had to limp off with an injury with less than half an hour played as United held on to their advantage until the interval.
At the break manager Glenn Ferguson rung the changes, with no fewer than nine players introduced, in order to give players essential game time.
One of them, Mark Magennis forced keeper McCrorie into a save in the opening minutes but Rangers gradually began to force their way into the game and levelled on 64 minutes when Josh Jeffries, who had only been on the pitch a matter of minutes, fired home after Nelson had beaten out Andy Murdoch's shot.
The visitors attempted to turn the screw with Dylan Dykes forcing Nelson into a fine save with a piledriver of a shot, while teenagers Leroy Millar and Matthew Shevlin had chances to win it for Ballymena.
But the game finished in a stalemate with both teams given a rapturous ovation at the final whistle.

Bimbadeen Heights provides students with the opportunity to participate in a range of performing arts areas. Every odd year, students in Years 5 and 6 participate in a School Production.
Many hours of time and effort go into developing lifelong skills and the rehearsal of acts in preparation of the big night.
A production isn't just an event, it is a process where children and adults have started with an idea and finished with a performance.
A great deal of teamwork, patience, understanding and celebrations go into every performance.
Over the past few years we have incorporated Circus skills as the theme of our School Production. Children master a range of skills such as unicycle, stilts, diabolo, juggling and gymnastics just to name a few. Our performances are fast paced and highly skilled, demonstrating the amazing talents of our students at Bimbadeen. Our 2017 performance was written and produced by members of staff and the team is already making plans for another amazing show in 2019!

How to Ink Up a Flexo PressThere are three different kinds of inks used in flexographic printing: solvent-based water-based and UV-curing Inks. This article is about adding water based inks to a flexographic press.
Gather all of the different colors of inks that you plan to use on the production run. For four color process, this will be yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. Arrange the inks from light to dark. Start with yellow at the first station of the press. For the second station, add magenta, then, cyan on the third station, and finally, black on the last.
Pour in the ink. If you have a short run, it may be better to "pan" the inks. This means that the ink will be poured directly into the pan on the ink station, and the rubber hose that is used for draining, will be tied off, so that no ink will drain out. When using this method, you should keep a close watch on the ink station while the press is running to ensure that the ink remains at the correct level, and that the proper amount of ink is transferred to the anilox roller. You may have to add more, as needed, during the run.
If you have a long run, you will usually pump the inks. On each ink pump, place a liner in the pail that you are going to add ink to. Place the pump cover on the pail, and then pour the amount of ink that you plan to use through one of the holes on the cover. Place the rubber hose that drains the ink from the ink station pan, into one of the drainage holes on the pail cover, so that it can drain back into the pail. Place the hose coming from the pump into the tray on the ink station. Don't forget to double check that each hose is secure and will not slip during a run.
Turn on the pump so that ink begins to flow into the pan. If you need a higher level of ink, place a thick washer over the drain so that it acts a dam, and raises the level of ink. As the level of ink begins to rise, adjust the flow from the pump. If it is too slow, it can stop pumping, as the ink gets thicker. If the flow is too fast, it can overflow the tray and drip ink on the web, ruining the printed material, and creating a big mess.
You should keep a check on all of the ink stations throughout a production run. Make sure that the pumps are working correctly, the ink flow is steady, and the ink levels are where they should be. When using a water based ink, you may need to add an ounce or two of water, so that the correct consistency and drying time are maintained. If the ink is drying to fast, you may need to add PH Adjuster.
No matter how careful you are while handling inks, a spill is bound to happen. While this can be messy and troublesome, it happens to the best of press operators with years of experience.

My entire kitchen bathroom reno was designed around pops of red... It all started with a tiny bright red fibre-glass bathroom sink that I found on the deep discount table at the local hardware store...
|So much for cheap... I think those red glass tiles more than made up for the cheap sink!
(my Christmas hand towel from Sears with the red light bulb!)
|Part of the refinished original kitchen counter..
the cutting board and 'silicon' colander were a gift from my son a couple of years ago. The back-splash tiles are being put up today... They're limestone in the kitchen ... not red glass!
|The fish is cast paper.. I bought her on the outer-banks last fall... Yep she's on the kitchen wall above the toaster... her lips match the toaster perfectly!
|I saw this toaster in St John's NL 18 months ago... and decided it needed a new home

Finding the centre
-First of all, we drew two tangents that are not directly opposite each other. Since tangents and radii form 90 degree angles, we can find the diameter of the circle. From there we can either split the diameter into two or find the intersection of the lines perpendicular to the tangent.
Finding the radius
-We measure the diameter and split it into half. (In this case the circle we constructed had a radius of 6 cm
