Average critic rating : 96.0 points
96This wine has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. More backward, and possibly even more concentrated than the 1970 Petrus (as well as more tannic), this huge, old style, massive, thick, rich wine is crammed with concentrated, chocolaty, berry fruit, with a hint of leather, smoked meat, and licorice. The wine's opaque garnet color reveals no sign of amber. The nose is just beginning to open. The flavors are so concentrated that I am going to go out on a limb and say this may be the most concentrated Trotanoy made in the post-World War II era. I suspect this wine can still be purchased for a relatively good price. Owners should plan on drinking it between 2000-2030. One of the four greatest wines of the vintage, the 1970 Trotanoy is the finest wine made at this estate save for the extraordinary 1961. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate June 1996 |
96After a run of corked bottles, finally a pristine example of this titan Pomerol served over lunch in Bordeaux. One immediately discerns a deep garnet core, whilst the first sniff is like hearing the thundering of horses in the distance, presaging a spellbinding bouquet of iodine, macerated dark cherries, a hint of eucalyptus and with time, Japanese green tea (the traditional, "stand your spoon it type"). The palate is full-bodied with a velvety smooth texture, powerful and I think, with more substance than the impressive '71. The '70 has broader shoulders, perhaps not quite the same level of elegance, but an enormous length on the opulent, almost marmalade-like finish. There is a faint tang of black olives lingering on the aftertaste. This is a stunning Trotanoy…with still some way to go. Tasted June 2011. Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com |

I'm a social drinker but I go out quite a
Patient : I'm a social drinker but I go out quite a lot... I go out about 3 or 4 days out of the week and I've recently been feeling very bad pain in my back and stomach and I wonder if it's my kidneys or liver
Thanks for the query.
Frequent consumption of alcohol can slowly take a toll on your health. Not only the liv er and kidney can get affected, but the entire body can get affected. Alcohol relieves pain for the moment, but once the effect comes down, it will cause the pain to increase by 2 folds. Liver can undergo fatty changes and jaundice can set in. Bones may lose the calcium and get softer, backaches, and body aches are common. Gastritis can get severe and one can experience abdominal aches. Also, the nervous system can get deranged.
It is advisable to stop drinking and consult a doctor to get a few tests done to rule out any complications. The doctor will treat you accordingly.
Hope this helped.

Verdura CEO Ward Landrigan reminisces about Elizabeth Taylor
December 15, 2011
(click photo to see interview)
New York's been abuzz over the Christie's auction of Elizabeth Taylor's personal artifacts, especially her unparalleled jewelry collection. For Verdura CEO Ward Landrigan, the event has a special significance. Back in the late 1960's and early 1970's, as the twenty-something head of the jewelry department at Sotheby's, he had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of coordinating the purchase and personal delivery of three important jewels to the silver screen legend and spending time with her.
In 1968, Ward sold the first piece, what was then known as the Krupp Diamond, to Richard Burton, Taylor's husband, as a gift for his wife. Selling for $305,000, it was a record sale at the time, and required Ward to personally deliver it to Miss Taylor in London the very next day. Ward's "week with Elizabeth," as told to David Patrick Columbia is recounted on newyorksocialdiary.com .
The Krupp diamond was just the first jewel purchase that Ward Landrigan handled for Elizabeth. There were two others - the 68 carat "Taylor-Burton" diamond, purchased for $1.05 million (the first diamond ever sold for over $1 million) and this week's top-selling item at auction, the 50.6 carat drop-shaped pearl known as "La Peregrina." which the Burtons bought for $37,000 in 1969 and brought in a record $11.8 million. This time Ward delivered the pearl to the Taylor-Burtons in Las Vegas, at Caesar's Palace. For the incredible story of Ward's delivery, and a mishap involving a pink shag rug and Taylor's Lhasa Apso, please click here and scroll down to read all about it.

From Wikiquote
Rights are entitlements or permissions, usually of a legal or moral nature. Rights are of vital importance in the fields of law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.
- Rights presuppose duties, if they are not to become mere licence
- Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), Chapter 43.
- ...if inequalities stare us in the face the essential equality too is not to be missed. Every man has an equal right to the necessaries of life even as birds and beasts have. And since every right carries with it a corresponding duty and the corresponding remedy for resisting any attack upon it, it is merely a matter of finding out the corresponding duties and remedies to vindicate the elementary fundamental equality.
- Mohandas Gandhi, "Questions and Answers", Young India magazine, 26th March 1931. Quoted in Gandhi: The Essential Writings. Judith M. Brown, Oxford University Press, 1998 (pp 97-98).
- If instead of insisting on rights everyone does his duty, there will immediately be the rule of order established among mankind. There is no such thing as the divine right of kings to rule and the humble duty of the ryots to pay respectful obedience.
- Mohandas Gandhi, "Rights or Duties?", Harijan Magazine, 6 July 1947. Quoted in Mahatma Gandhi : The Essential Writings, edited by Judith M. Brown. Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2008. (p.91)
- Away with private wrongs! We'll not go forth
To fight for these — but for the rights of men.- Sarah Josepha Hale, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 524.
- Nothing can be permitted to the few ; rights and advantages were sent for all ...
- Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Ethel Churchill (or The Two Brides) (1838), Vol. II, Chapter 31
- One of the grandest things in having rights is that, being your rights, you may give them up.

- Translated: He who exercises his own right injures no one.

- No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation.
- New York Times, (4th Dec 2015), p. Front page Editorial.
- The law helps the vigilant, before those who sleep on their rights.
- Legal maxim, reported in Oscar B. Parkinson, Outlines of Commercial Law: A Text Book for Schools and Colleges (1912), p. 234. Sometimes reported as "equity" rather than "the law".
- To name a thing is easy: the difficulty is to discern it before its appearance. In giving expression to the last stage of an idea, — an idea which permeates all minds, which to-morrow will be proclaimed by another if I fail to announce it to-day, — I can claim no merit save that of priority of utterance. Do we eulogize the man who first perceives the dawn?
Yes: all men believe and repeat that equality of conditions is identical with equality of rights; that property and robbery are synonymous terms; that every social advantage accorded, or rather usurped, in the name of superior talent or service, is iniquity and extortion. All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.
- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, What is Property? (1840), Ch. I: "Method Pursued in this Work. The Idea of a Revolution".
- Rights are grand things, divine things, in this world of God; but the way in which we expound those rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. I see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. Alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights!
- Frederick William Robertson, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 524.
- Rights may be universal, but their enforcement must be local.
- All existing right is - foreign law; someone makes me out to be in the right, "does right by me". But should I therefore be in the right if all the world made me out so? And yet what else is the right that I obtain in the State, in society, but a right of those foreign to me? …If you let yourself be made out in the right by another, you must no less let yourself be made out in the wrong by him; if justification and reward come to you from him, expect also his arraignment and punishment. Alongside right goes wrong, alongside legality crime.
- Max Stirner, from The Ego and His Own (1845).
- If you say to someone who has ears to hear: "What you are doing to me is not just," you may touch and awaken at its source the spirit of attention and love. But it is not the same with words like, "I have the right..." or "you have no right to..." They evoke a latent war and awaken the spirit of contention.
- Simone Weil, Human Personality (1943), p. 63.
Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)[edit]
- Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 674-75.

If you go to the left you are sure to be right,

- May it be to the world, what I believe it will be. To some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all, the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessing and security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately by the grace of God. These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights. and an undiminished devotion to them.
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Robert Weightman (24 June 1826)

A murder close to home! Rebekah was a friend of both of my daughters and was a class mate of 1, Ive taken Rebekah home many times and dropped my daughters off at her home to spend time or nights there! This creepy preacher killed her, and raped her dead body! This guy should be in prison for the rest of his life and skinned alive and when it heals, skinned again, Etc, Etc I keep thinking what would have happened if my girl was Babysitting for Rebekah one night and this guy came in! The girls trusted him He was a PREACHER for gods sake!
Jester Mom beaten, strangled with son in home | WOOD TV8 |
thats the guys that make me feel better when they fry. i could do horrible things to a man like that. im sure you could and would. this crap leaves deep scars on us.it makes us evil ourselves.but i do believe in an eye for an eye.
no im not talkin about an inocent man bein killed. im sure it has happened. but when theres no doubt, then im in. i dont care how its done.i admit it, its wrong to kill anyone. even an animal has rites in my world. but its has happened im my family. to my daughter. thats made me just as evil as the folks doin the crimes. but, am i wrong?i havent killed anyone yet, hahaha, but i could, you betcha. so could you.
Later that evening I went to bed early, my cell phone was on the charger and my son was watching a movie with his girl friend and had the phone shut off. My girlfriend at the time (now my wife) was aware of what happened and was trying to call me...couldn't get a hold of me and was concerned thinking the perp may have come back with friends so she called the cops. Cops came to the door and asked if I was alright and they heard what happened. I said I was fine. Then they asked what happened earlier and I showed them my hands and simply said I took care of it. The cops looked at me and smiled at each other. One cop said that it may have been a better choice to call 911 but I'm glad you looked after it. The police departments must get frustrated with trying to bring the criminal element to justice only to find that they are back on the street in a short time with only a slap on the wrist. |
One of our former Presidents lied under oath and was impeached but served out his term and now the taxpayers are footing all of his bills and will be until he dies - - - - hell, maybe even after he dies - who knows?
Unfortunately you cannot talk about the Law and Justice at the same time in this Country anymore. Sorry about your hands and what it must have put your family through but at least he's alive and can do it again ! (tongue in cheek with sarcasm added but nothing personal OK?) |
In many cases it appears that today the laws are made and enforced to protect the guilty. How many cases haven't we seen and heard about where a shop owner fires a gun, trying to protect himself, his investment and his family, at a guy trying to rob him and HE GETS CHARGED. Proof positive that common sense isn't that common.
I agree and there's no doubt that your decision to throw his butt out the door was a wise one and best for you and your family. However, I don't think I could be that level headed once I got him down and had the advantage.
I wasn't the wise one...I saw RED and all I could think of was turning his face into hamburger...It was my son that pulled me off... I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't...I still see the image of him crawling an all four's to get across the street, but on the bright side, His face was hamburger. I remember thinking about calling the police versus not calling, you know better I report it than the other guy and in my mind I thought what kind of person would go to the cops and say, "I was breaking into a house and the owner beat the crap out of me and I want him charged"...Whereas if I called them, I could be...so I didn't and I bet that, that would be thief remembers his punishment fitting the crime to this day.
im with you mego. aint no way id let him up if i got him down. you dont ever know what he mite have on em. you stop when he quits wigglin.
Dang, and I wanted to answer that question about dating a midget so I will anyhow.
If I were to date a midget and she wanted to have sex, and since I'm slightly over 6' tall, then someone would have had to "put her up to it" ! |
People complain about young boys having sex with their teachers,well,im here to tell the world,i had sex with my art teacher,i was 16,she was 22,i thought that was the best thing that could possibly have happenned to me,the difference was...I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT...our affair lasted almost 5 years,she was a fantastic person,and ive said MANY TIMES,,,Thank You,Cheryl... ALL young men,need an older lady to teach them....AND the only crime is the boys BIG MOUTH...

Build a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster from machines based on Intel® Itanium® 2 processors running Linux. Clusters for HPC are growing in numbers and size. This is due to both their gaining popularity as a cost-effective HPC solution and the ease with which they can be built using available HPC clustering middleware, such as SCYLD,* from Scyld* Computing Solutions and OSCAR,* from the Open Cluster Group.
Download the necessary components from an open-source Web site and compile them, or use one of the available cluster packages, such as OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resources) or SCYLD. This item focuses on building a 'self-made' Linux HPC cluster; that is, one that is built without using one of the freely downloadable or commercial packages. For more information on free and commercial packages, see /en-us/forums/intel-clusters-and-hpc-technology/.
If you are building the cluster from scratch, you can build it with the OS installed on each node or configure each node to load the operating system through the network from a master node at boot time using PXE. You can even build a diskless cluster, where each node runs purely out of memory. The following information focuses on building clusters with the OS on each node.
To build a Linux cluster from scratch, you will need the following:
- Your Linux installation CDs.
- Other parallel components, such as MPICH and PBS, preferably burned onto a CD.
- A notebook to document your install process, problems you run into, and your resolutions.
Using the installation CD, build the master node first. The master node might function as the gateway and a DHCP server, depending on how you planned your cluster. The master node should be built with all the necessary files for the cluster to function, including the MPI libraries, batch/queue software (if required), SSH, etc. With the master node configured, it can provide to the compute nodes access to the Internet, if needed, and provide the supporting files not found on the OS CD, to the compute nodes as they are built.
The most tedious way to build the compute nodes is by running the installation CD on each node, adding the supporting files, and configuring each node to run in a cluster, including network information. If you use the installation scripts or wizard provided with your Linux CD, you will make the same selections for each node. Considering that it can take from 30 minutes to two hours to install a single node, a 128-node cluster can take at least eight days just to install (at two hours per node, that's 32 days). Moreover, someone must attend each installation. Fortunately, there are a couple of tools that can help when building from scratch: the Kickstart file (with Red Hat Linux*) and SystemImager* from http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemimager/*.
The Kickstart file is a simple text file that automates much of the Red Hat install process. In the file, you can specify most of the configuration op tions, such as the keyboard, language, network, and disk partitioning. Red Hat provides a Kickstart configurator (wizard) to build a Kickstart file for your installation, or you can copy the one on the CD and modify it as necessary. The Kickstart file contains three sections: commands, packages, and scripts:
- Commands: The commands section lists the installation options, including disk partitioning, network configuration (hostname, host address, and gateway), installation method, etc.
- Packages: The packages section (starting with the %packages command) lists the packages you want installed. You can specify a group of packages (called a component) or a single package. You can create your own component and include it in the list. For example, you can create a component of the supporting libraries and applications that the cluster needs and list the component in the packages section. However, you will need to create a new ISO image of the install CD along with the component you specify.
- Scripts: The scripts section allows you to perform post-installation functions, such as adding files not provided on the installation CD or customizing the installation configuration. The %post command starts the scripts section, and any files that are to be loaded must be available over the network, typically from the master node or through the Internet.
You have three options for installing a node based on the Kickstart file:
- Create a Kickstart file for each node in the cluster (including the network address, host name, etc.) with the installation method set to CD, and then save it to a floppy. (You need a unique Kickstart floppy for each node.) Use the floppy to boot the node, and the Kickstart file will access the installation CD to install the OS and configure the node based on the information in the Kickstart file.
- Place the installation image and all supporting files on the master node. Create a Kickstart file for each node in the cluster (including the network address, host name, etc.) with the installation method set to network, and then save it to a floppy. (You need a unique Kickstart floppy for each node.) Use the Kickstart floppy to boot the node. The node will retrieve the installation image from the location specified in the Kickstart file.
- Set up the master node as a PXELinux* server, BOOTP/DHCP server, and NFS server with the installation image and all supporting files on it. This BOOTP/DHCP server must contain the configuration information (Kickstart files) for all the nodes in the cluster. (The compute node must support PXE network boot.) When the compute node boots, the DHCP server provides the networking information to the node and the location of the Kickstart file. Thus, each compute node can boot entirely from the network.
Using a DHCP server for installation reduces the administration involvement in building out the cluster, but, in a large cluster, a failed node can be hard to locate, since the DHCP server assigned its network address.
Depending on how your cluster will be used, you might need to install the Intel® compilers, Intel® Math Kernel Library, and other Intel® optimization tools on the master node or on all nodes. This is especially important if the cluster is used to develop parallel code on your Intel® Architecture-based nodes.
SystemImager* automatically configures compute nodes on a cluster based on a sample compute node – the golden client. With SystemImager, you do not need to write additional installation scripts to add the supporting files to the node. The golden client becomes the model for all other nodes in the cluster; SystemImager copies the image from the golden client onto the master node, and then builds and configures all nodes using that image.
Therefore, the golden client needs to be completely and properly configured before launching SystemImager. SystemImager also enables you to maintain the entire cluster by changing only the golden client and then updating the rest of the compute nodes based on the changes to the sample node.
Once the golden client is prepared and SystemImager is installed on the master node, command lines to SystemImager let you build a copy of the golden client on the master node, specify the partitions and mount points, and specify hostnames and IP addresses. Then, you have to determine how each node will boot: using a floppy or CDROM (using the makeautoinstallfloppy or makeautoinstallcd commands), or over the network. If the nodes boot over the network, the master node must run the PXELinux server and a DHCP server, and each node must support PXE boot. SystemImager provides tools to configure a file for mapping IP addresses to hostnames. With SystemImager, you can configure dynamic or static IP addresses. Static IP addresses make it easier to find failed nodes. The online documentation for SystemImager is located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemimager/*.

Abstract: | In order to better understand the mechanisms of damage creation in nuclear fuels, 3mm diam. UO2 disks were implanted with 173 MeV Xe ions with fluences varying between 7.10x10 and 6.10x14 ions.cm-2. Come of these disks were analysed by TEM and SEM. Cross-sectional SEM of a UO2 sample implanted at the highest fluence revealed the Xe-rich zone to be located at a depth of 9.5 +-0.56 um. This is in good agreement with the calculated Xe-distribution profile and the displacement distribution produced by the Xe ions in UO2 and is, at the same time, a confirmation of the TRIM code at these high energies. |

VIDEO COLLECTION I have finally transferred my SRV video collection from VHS videotapes to DVD-R. I collected these videos from many fans from 1993 until 1997, but I did not keep track of where I got them, so I can't give proper credit here. Thanks again to all who donated video to this collection. When the museum collection finds its ultimate home (it's getting closer to reality) these videos should be available for viewing by researchers and the public. This page is for information only. I will not respond to any emails requesting copies or where to buy these videos. CORRECTIONS & ADDITIONS Please send corrections and any information you may have on other existing footage of Stevie (email). I am particularly interested in finding more detail on the exact dates, names of venues and TV stations. Many of my videos are obviously incomplete, and I would like to know whether you have more footage, even if you cannot supply me with a copy. ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONTRIBUTIONS TO
THE COLLECTION DETAILS In the notes, "JLV" means Jimmie Vaughan, "inc" means incomplete, "gen" means generation or how many VHS copies away from the master. I have rated the gen: Low = 1st or 2nd gen; Medium = some picture loss, but watchable and no great need to upgrade; High = considerable picture loss and need to upgrade. "Pro-shot" means professional authorized recording, as opposed to an audience member's camcorder. THE COLLECTION Click on the DISC # to get more details about the video, including set list, grade, comments, and screen captures (click thumbnail screen captures for larger image). Titles in pink are most recent updates. Titles in red are not in my collection.
Approximately 180 titles in collection. I'm told it is approximately 95 hours! (Thanks Alan) Watching 8 hours per day, five days a week, it would take over two weeks to see it all. |

This is a step by step guide on how to build a homemade pizza oven from scratch!! This is a great, relatively cheap project, that will keep you entertained all through the summer and surprisingly, even the winter!! I made it with Darren Lewis and Josh Bagshawe and it always ends up getting lit at every party and actually becomes quite the centre piece!!
As you will discover, as well as making fantastic pizzas, this oven comes into its element when slow cooking large joints of meat! Lovely slow cooked shoulder of lamb, belly pork, beef ribs, pork ribs and even a whole pot of curry! Whatever joint you decide, wrapping it in layers of tin foil will protect it from the fire and keep it tender and succulent!
Happy building! I look forward to seeing what you make! For further designs and projects please check out my website - www.philreillydesigns.com
I am currently working on a new minimalist ballpoint pen and stylus, check it out at: www.529studio.co.uk or follow me on instagram @529studio
All the best,

A Storm Too Soon
New 2-page-spread illustration I created for Rhode Island Monthly magazine's February issue. This accompanied an article about two shipwrecks about 200 miles off the coast of North Carolina - one ship from Rhode Island by the name The Flying Colours.
Really enjoyed working on this imagery with thanks to Carolyn Marsden for working with me.

Latin and a Queen Esther Moment in Korean Church History (Nov. 16, 1900)
I have been studying Latin with my kids for the past several months and it has been a lot of fun. However, some people might wonder how useful it is. With that doubt in mind, I wanted to share an incredible story that a Korean friend recently brought to my attention. For who knows if your study of Latin might come in handy for such a time as this...
"To sum it up..., several high court officials made a plot to kill ALL missionaries and Christians in Korea (their plan was to go in effect on Dec. 1st, 1900). Missionary Horace G. Underwood got a hold of their scheme before it became official and sent a telegram in LATIN (so that no Korean would understand the content) to fellow missionary Avison to alert him of the seriousness of the situation.
Avison then relayed the information to missionary Allen--who was/had been King GoJong's personal physician at the court. Allen immediately sought after the King's attendance; which resulted in King GoJong making a decree throughout the land ordering all plots against Christians to stop.
Literally, thousands of lives were saved with the help of a Latin message sent that day."
Instructions for New Missionaries to Thailand (1846)
The letter replicated below is the first letter of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mission to its out-going missionaries to Siam in 1846. One other missionary from the American Presbyertian Mission had gone to Siam (now Thailland) previously, but he returned to the United States after only a few years because of his wife's health.
It is interesting to note the priorities of the sending church (and its denominational agency) more than 150 years ago, and to compare those priorities to those of missionaries today. Language study was prioritized, as was evangelism, although medical and publishing work were seen as useful primarily as a means to the evangelistic work. While the world has changed greatly in 150 years, this letter reminds me of how much has basically stayed the same in the work of missions and evangelism over the years.
A print copy of this letter may be found in "Historical Sketch of Protestant Missions in Siam 1828-1928"Historical Sketch of Protestant Missions in Siam 1828-1928", edited by G.B. McFarland.
Mission House, New York, 10th July 1846
Rev. S. Mattoon
Dr. S. R. House, M. D
Dear Brethren,
In going out to resume the Mission in Siam, it is proper that you take with you the instructions of the Executive Committee in reference to that field of Missionary labor.
When you are permitted to enter upon your work, we shall be glad to hear from you once a month or as near these periods as you have an opportunity of sending. Letters by way of Canton will come with those of the brethren to China. Thin paper must be used for one letter a month via Canton overland. Other letters with your Journals, annual reports etc., sent by way of Canton will your reach us by ships from China.ซานตาคลอสตัวจริงคือใคร? (Who Is The Real Santa Claus?)
เมื่อพูดถึงเทศกาลคริสต์มาส คนจำนวนมากคงจะคิดถึง "ซานตาคลอส" ชายอ้วนอารมณ์ดี มีหนวดขาว ใส่ชุดสีแดง ขับเลื่อนเทียม กวางเรนเดียร์ 8 ตัว เหาะเหินลงมาจากท้องฟ้าในคืนวันคริสต์มาสเพื่อมาแจกของขวัญ เรื่องของซานตาคลอสนั้นเป็นตำนานของฝรั่งจากซีกโลกตะวันตก แต่บางคนอาจไม่รู้ว่าตำนานเรื่องนี้มีที่มาจากชีวิตจริง และนาม "ซานตาคลอส" นั้นมีที่มาจากชื่อนักบุญ "เซนต์นิโคลาส"
ทำไมคริสต์มาสถูกฉลองเป็นวันที่ 25 ธันวาคม?
นักประวัติศาสตร์รู้ว่าพระเยซูคริสตน่าจะเกิดในประมาญปี ค.ศ. 0 หรือก่อนปีนั้นหนิดหนึ่ง แต่ไม่มีใครรู้ว่าพระเยซูคริสตทรงบังเกิดวันไหนแน่ แม้ว่าคริสเตียนและคริสตังฉลองวันเกิดของพระเยซูเป็นวันที่ 25 ธันวาคมก็ตาม วันที่ 25 นั้นคงไม่ไช่วันเกิดจริงของพระเยซู
ถ้าเป็นอย่างนั้น ทำไมคริสต์มาสถูกฉลองเป็นวันที่ 25 ธันวาคม? คริสตจักรยุคแรกไม่มีวันพิเศษสำหรับการฉลองการประสูติของพระเยซู แต่วันเทศกาลคริสต์มาสได้เริ่มมีการฉลองในศตวรรษ์ที่ 4 ของคริสต์ศักราช เทศกาลคริสตสมภพ (คริสต์มาส) มีบันทึกเรื่องพิธีนี้เป็นครั้งแรกในปี คศ.336 และถือเอาวันที่ 25 ธ.ค.เป็นวันฉลองทั้งนี้คงเป็นเพราะวันนี้เป็นวันที่พวกลัทธิต่างชาตินับถือเป็นวันเกิดของพระสุริยายุทธเทพ ผู้เป็นพระเจ้าของเขา บางทีพวกคริสตชนอาจจะถือโอกาสคัดค้านพวกลัทธิต่างชาติ โดยเลือกเอาวันนี้เป็นวันเฉลิมฉลองพระคริสต์ ผู้ทรงเปรียบเหมือนสุริยเทพแห่งความชอบธรรมก็ได้ ตั้งแต่สมัยนั้นชาวคริสต์ทั่วโลกได้ถือวันที่ 25 ธันวาคมของทุกปีเป็นวันเทศกาลคริสต์มาสเพื่อฉลองการประสูติของพระเยซูคริสตเจ้า
Operation Auca (January 8, 1956) – Sixty Years Later
guest post by Larry Dinkins
This week, 60 years ago, five missionaries made contact with the Auca (literally "savage") tribal group in the Ecuadorian jungle. Previously, no one had ever engaged this tribe without being killed. The previous year, gifts had been exchanged paving the way for this encounter. On January 3rd, the five married men, Jim Elliot, Roger Youderian, Peter Fleming, Nate Saint (oldest at 32), and Ed McCully established a camp at "Palm Beach" along the Curaray River and waited. On January 6, two naked women and a man emerged from the jungle and made friendly contact, even agreeing to take a ride in the yellow Piper. By January 8, the anxious wives got word that all five of the missionaries had been slaughtered on that lonely beach. The coverage of the event by Life Magazine and its photo essay broadcast the news around the world culminating in what has become one of the most inspirational missionary stories of the 20th century.
Two years later, Rachel Saint (Nate's sister) and Elisabeth Elliot with her 3-year-old daughter went to live among the Auca for a period of three years. Eventually most of the village, including six in the murder party, turned to Christ. Elisabeth returned to the states as a writer and speaker, producing a total of 28 books over the next fifty years, including Through Gates of Splendor, Shadow of the Almighty and The Savage, My Kinsmen.
In 1969 Elisabeth married Addison Leitch, a professor of theology at Gordon Conwell Seminary. He died of cancer in 1973. After his death, she married yet again in 1977 to a hospital chaplain named Lars Glen, a former lodger at the rented room at her home. That marriage lasted until her death at 88 in June, 2015.
Jim and Elisabeth Elliot have stepped "Through Gates of Splendor" into their reward, yet their words and influence remain six decades later. Elisabeth is a particular inspiration to me, especially how she handled suffering at multiple points in her life, first through the high risks of ministry in Ecuador and the wrenching experience of seeing cancer take her second spouse within only four years. Her last decade was a constant battle with dementia, a condition that she endured with godly acceptance as she had previously done with the passing of her husbands.
Book Review: "A History of Thailand" by Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit
Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit, A History of Thailand, third ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014), Kindle Edition.
Years ago, I read David Wyatt's "Thailand: A Short History" but it was a bit too dry and not too short. I nearly gave up as he went on and on reconstructing the pre-history of Thailand. But Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit's "A History of Thailand" has been a completely different experience. The authors have written a briskly moving narrative that gives you the big picture, highlighting the important people and events in the development of the country without getting bogged down in the details. The first chapter (Before Bangkok) takes you through early history to the founding of Bangkok in 1782. In not too many pages, the authors give a helpful picture of the 15-18th century, the empires of Southeast Asia, the old Thai feudal system, and the steps leading up the founding of the Chakri dynasty. And it is the Chakri dynasty and the last 200 years of Thai history that form the bulk of this book.
As the book unfolds however, tracing the political, cultural, and economic development of the country from Rama 1 (1782) to the pre-coup political climate of March 2014, it becomes obviously that writing a history of "Thailand" is problematic. As it were, there was no "Thailand" per se, until the colonial powers forced the kingdom of Siam to define it borders in response to French and British colonial acquisitions in Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. In the late 19th century, the kingdom of Siam spread across what is now Central Thailand into Western Cambodia, while the Lao kingdoms and Shan States functioned rather independent of Siam to the north, albeit many of them in a tributary relationship to Siam. The region that constitutes modern day Southern Thailand was also only loosely connected to Bangkok. But as the colonial powers claimed some of these territories and agreed that others belonged to Siam, the government of Siam felt that it was necessary create a sense of unity and nationhood among these different territories and peoples in order to consolidate power and ward off interference from foreign aggression. These reasons, along with the belief that the majority of "Thai" people are passive peasants, led to justifications for a strong state with Bangkok as the center. The strong state was first embodied in the absolute monarchy, but after the revolution of 1932, the strong state re-emerged on-and-off in the form of military dictatorships up through the 1970s and beyond.
When the Blood of the Martyrs Is Not the Seed of the Church
When Western Christians hear about the persecution of believers in other parts of the world, their response sometimes comes from behind rose colored glasses that diminish the depth of the tragedy that is playing out on the other side of the globe.
1) The first misperception that occurs is the assumption that those believers who are being persecuted are heroic, and must have much stronger faith than the well-off person reading about their plight on the newest model iPhone. I suspect that there is an semi-unconscious train of thought that goes something like, "Oh, they are so brave to face this persecution. I could never face that. But since they are so brave and spiritual, they'll be fine despite the persecution." Of course, there are brave and heroic believers who stand up for Christ and the Gospel in many parts of the world. Praise God for their bold testimony! But there are also many normal believers, immature Christians, and nominal church goers who bear the brunt of anti-Christian violence. They don't all stand up to the threats very well. Their story flashes across global media like a shooting star and then disappears, but they still struggle and live in fear and anxiety long after you've clicked "Share." And sometimes the intimidation works. They stay silent about their faith, compromise, or flee. And that brings me to my second point.

Why Villages Matter: How the Church Died in North Africa, but Survived in Egypt
In recent years, it has become popular among evangelicals (especially Reformed evangelicals) to emphasize church planting in big cities. Numerous books, articles, and blog posts have put forth the call to plant churches in the major urban centers of the world,under the belief that what happens in the city will eventually influence the rest of society. In many ways, the renewed emphasis on cities is a good thing. We should not neglect the cities, and we should seek to influence the influencers of society in hopes of having a broader impact upon society at large.
However, with all the rhetorical emphasis on the city, some people have begun wonder, "Hey, what about the countryside? What about small towns and villages? Don't rural areas matter too?" Although I don't think we could find anyone who'd say that rural areas don't matter, the unspoken message is that the countryside matters less. Way less. Rural areas are not strategic. They are not centers of influence. What happens in the countryside stays in the countryside. In sum, small towns and villages are not strategic in terms of impacting a society for the Gospel. Or are they?
Timeline: Thai Church History in Global Context

Brief Survey of Thai Church History (Audio Lecture)
I recently took about 20 hours of lecture notes on Thai church history and condensed them into about 1.5 hours for a session on Thai church history at my mission organization's annual conference. Embedded below you will find an audio version of this very brief overview of Thai church history which will give you a big picture view of the development of Protestant Christianity in Thailand.
My lecture here is not as polished or fluid as I would like, but a number of listeners gave me positive feedback so I decided to post it for those who would like a quick overview of Thai church history in a short period of time. (Please excuse the fact that the recording starts abruptly and there is no mention early Roman Catholic mission work in Thailand - I forgot to hit the record button until 15 minutes after I began talking)

Towards Contextualized Creeds
One of the first things our supervisor instructed us to do as church planters in Central Thailand was to glue a card with the Apostles' Creed into the cover of every hymnal. Every Sunday we would have our small congregation of mainly leprosy believers memorize the creed and recite it in unison. Our congregation had no real appreciation of the historic development and impact of this creed, but as preferred oral learners in a group culture, they enjoyed saying the creed out loud together and in the process gained a major dose of scriptural truth. Ancient statements of faith, like the Apostles' Creed, have been translated and used for centuries in a variety of cultures. Much ink has been spilt analyzing the contribution and content of the historic creeds, but less has been said about how to contextualize them for non-western contexts. To contextualize a creed, one must be aware of the nature of creeds historically as well as the benefits and potential pitfalls inherent in the development process.
The Value and Dangers of Creeds
Philip Schaff in his massive three-volume work on Creeds states, "Confessions, in due subordination to the bible, are of great value and use. They are summaries of the doctrines of the Bible, aids to its sound understanding, bonds of union among their professors, public standards and guards against false doctrine and practice."[i] G. W. Bromiley notes the benefits, but also highlights the dangers of creedal statements:
The dangers of creed making are obvious. Creeds can become formal, complex, and abstract. They can be almost illimitably expanded. They can be superimposed on Scripture. Properly handled, however, they facilitate public confession, form a succinct basis for teaching, safeguard pure doctrine, and constitute an appropriate focus for the church's fellowship in faith.[ii][Video] Tracing 175 Years of Thai Protestantism
The short 20 minute video that you'll find below is a good overview of the birth and history of Christianity in Thailand. It was prepared for the 2003 celebration of 175 years of Protestant Christianity in Thailand, counting from 1828 when Karl Gutzlaff and Jacob Tomlin arrived as the first two Protestant missionaries.
There is also a Thai-language book that goes along with the video, called "๑๗๕ ปี พันธกิจคริสต์ศาสนาโปรเตสแตนต์ในประเทศไทย, ค.ศ. ๑๘๒๘-๒๐๐๓" (175 Years of Protestant Christian Ministry in Thailand, 1828-2003). The book is currently out of print but should be able to be found in libraries of seminaries and bible colleges in Thailand.

Church History Timeline to 1500
One my goals in teaching church history at Bangkok Bible Seminary is to develop resources to help make church history accessible for my students. There are a small number of church history book available in Thai, but my students were asking for handouts summarizing what I was teaching in the classroom. Eventually, I will find time to make those handouts but in the meantime, I have made an interactive church history timeline to help them review what we've been learning.
In this blog post, I have embedded the English version of the timeline that I put together. However, the vast majority of my students don't speak English well enough to use English language study resources, so this English version was the intermediary step to producing a Thai version. If you are a Thai speaker (or just want to see what the Thai version looks like), please click here to view the Thai version of the timeline.
This timeline only goes up to the year 1500 but I plan on producing two more timelines for, 1) church history from 1500 to the present, and 2) Thai church history (or, the history of the church in Thailand)

Earlier this year, I created a church history timeline to 1500 (Thai & English) to help my students prepare for their mid-term exam. And now that the end of the school term is upon us, I have created another church history timeline from 1500 to the present (to help my students prepare for the final exam, of course).

Still Standing! 19th Century Missionary House in Phrae, Thailand
While searching for something else, I recently stumbled across a Thai newspaper article announcing the discovery of a 19th century wooden house in Phrae, Thailand, that was the original residence of the first missionaries who arrived there in the 1890s. The Thai headline expressed my feelings exactly: "Shock! Wooden Missionary House in Phrae - over 100 years old!" And the house is in good shape too! I was totally fascinated by the modern photos of the type of house that I had only previously seen in small, grainy, black-and-white photos in Thai church history books and missionary biographies. I thought for sure that such residences were long gone but to find one still standing is simply fantastic. I was immediately stuck that the design of this house is extremely similar to old pictures I've seen of those in Chiang Mai and Petchburi. Here is the lead photo from the newspaper article showing the house in Phrae. The whole article (in Thai) with more photos can be found here.
Northerners and Southerners in Thailand during the American Civil War
I recently came across the curious and amazing story of two American missionary couples who worked together in Thailand during the period of the American Civil War (1861-1865)... despite the fact that they supported opposing sides. Somehow, through the grace of God, the tragic events of their homeland did not destroy their relationship and the fragile work of planting a new church together on the other side of the globe.
Rev. J.A. Eakin, writing in 1928, shares their story:"The terrible time of the American Civil War was keenly felt by that little band of missionaries, located half-a-world away from the scenes or conflict. Mr. McGilvary was from North Carolina and sympathized ardently with the South; Mr. and Mrs. McFarland were from western Pennsylvania and their feelings were just as strongly enlisted on the side of the North. Mail came to them once a month; then they shut themselves up in their homes with letters and periodicals, eagerly reading the news or the war. But when they met afterward they never dared speak of those things which so filled their hearts and minds. On one occasion, after a day spent in such reading, Mr. McGilvary went over to call on the McFarlands. They talked about the Church; they talked about the work; but there were long pauses when they were thinking of a very different subject which must not even be mentioned. One such pause was broken by Mr. McGilvary asking, "Mr. McFarland, have you noticed in the papers what an enourmous national debt England has?" That was a safe topic. Surely in the annals of foreign mission life and work, there is not a more tremendous example of Christian forbearance and self-repression. Those people lived and labored together in most intimate contact all through the war without one word of friction."J.A. Eakin, "The Narrative of Petchaburi Station," in George McFarland, ed. "Historical Sketch of Protestant Missions in Siam 1828-1928," (White Lotus Press: Bangkok, 1999), p.94.

Book Review "The Creedal Imperative" by Carl Trueman
reviewed by Karl DahlfredThe Creedal Imperative, by Carl Trueman. (Crossway, 2012, 208pp.)Within the world of evangelical Protestantism, creeds have fallen on hard times. They are old, irrelevant, and go into way too much detail about non-essential doctrinal points that just cause conflict. "Doctrine divides, mission unites," as they say. Therefore, it is a massively difficult task that Carl Trueman has taken on in "The Creedal Imperative", making the case that not only are creeds helpful, but also essential to the life of the church. For many people, the whole idea of creeds conjures up words like "dry," "dusty," and "academic" but Trueman does a brilliant job of making his case for creeds readable and understandable for those who are not familiar with them, and are not sure whether they should be.From the very first page, Trueman addresses himself to the popular objections to creeds. His leading example is a pastor who claimed that his church had no creed but the Bible, yet at the same time taught the five points of Calvinism, dispensationalism, and form of church government drawn from the Plymouth Brethren. Trueman points out that while this pastor's church claimed "its only creed was the Bible, it actually connected in terms of the details of its life and teaching to almost no other congregation in the history of the church. Clearly, the church did have a creed, a summary view of what the Bible taught on grace, eschatology, and ecclesiology; it was just that nobody ever wrote it down and set it out in public."

text: 'Appalachia to Atchafalaya' by canoe By Paul J. Nyden October 4, 2013 Kenny Kemp Chuck Chapman (left) and Ned Savage stand along the banks of the Kanawha River near the state Capitol, talking about their upcoming 2,200-mile canoe trip, beginning in North Carolina along the New River. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Earlier this week, Ned Savage and Clark Chapman stood along the banks of the Kanawha River, near the state Capitol. The next time they see the same area, it might be from the middle of the river.In about a week, Savage and Chapman will begin a 2,200-mile canoe trip at the beginnings of the New River near Boone, N.C. They'll head north to where the New meets the Kanawha at Gauley Bridge, then follow the Kanawha to its junction with the Ohio River at Point Pleasant.At Cairo, Ill., the Ohio flows into the Mississippi River. Savage and Chapman will travel down the Mississippi to New Orleans, where they plan to stay for a couple of days, before completing their journey by canoeing through the bayous south of New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico."It will take us 74 days, if we average 30 miles a day on the rivers," Chapman said. "We haven't found anyone who has ever done this before," said Savage, who works for AmeriCorps VISTA on Charleston's East End. "It might be cold, rainy and miserable up in the mountains, but we are geared up for it.""I've wanted to do this as long as I could read maps. I started talking about this in second grade," said Chapman, whose family grew up near the Ohio River around Huntington."The New River is the oldest river in the country. All these rivers have been navigable for hundreds of years," he said.Savage said, "Cities grew up because of the rivers. And dams and locks were built in places like the Kanawha River during the New Deal. We want to get people to think more about rivers near them, their recreational uses and environmental conditions." Savage and Chapman are creating a Facebook page, called "Downstream: Appalachia to Atchafalaya." The Atchafalaya Basin is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States, located in Cajun country south of New Orleans.The two met when they were students at Hampden-Sydney College, 70 miles southwest of Richmond, Va.Chapman, 29, studied history, religion and philosophy while earning bachelor's and master's degrees at Hampden-Sydney."My family has lived within this watershed for 200 years. It is a good time for me to connect with them," said Chapman, who spent the past year working in a scrap yard in Columbus, Ohio. Savage, 27, grew up in Salem, Va., near Roanoke. "I grew up near Craig's Creek, a little creek that flows into the James River, ending up in the Atlantic Ocean," he said. "Just over the mountain, Sinking Creek River flows into the New River, ending up in the Gulf of Mexico.His father, Lon Savage, wrote "Thunder in the Mountains," a history of the West Virginia Mine Wars.Savage and Chapman are taking cameras and recording equipment to preserve images and their conversations with people they meet during the 2,200-mile voyage. "We plan to ask people what role rivers play in their lives," Savage said. "Rivers used to be such an integral part of society."Savage believes people should become more aware of some environmental problems. "In Virginia, 17 tons of toxic materials flow into the New River, 15 tons of which comes from the Radford Munitions plant."The pair will start using an 18-foot canoe that was owned by Savage's father. "When we reach Charleston or Huntington, we will begin using a larger canoe during the rest of our trip," Savage said.They plan to camp in many places along their journey. "There are lots of state forests along the way. The New River is a lot more remote than the other rivers. Along the Ohio River, there are towns every few miles," Savage said. "We will also stay with some folks we know in cities like Huntington, Ironton, Cincinnati, Louisville and Memphis."Savage and Chapman are taking one tent and two hammocks to help them at night. They also will have food, water, rain gear and flotation devices."Hopefully, we will not get hit by a hurricane," Savage said. "We also have a solar panel, to hook up our cell phones to recharge them." They want to continue studying the history of the rivers and towns along their journey. "The New River was a big channel for the Underground Railroad that helped free slaves before and during the Civil War," Savage said.The two plan to stay for a night in Charleston during their long journey, probably on Oct. 29."My dad was from Charleston," Savage said. "This town has been very good to me. After New Orleans, I could see myself making my way back here."Reach Paul J. Nyden at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5164.

BLESSING OF AN EXPECTANT MOTHER at the approach of confinement
{In the Middle Ages it was customary for a pastor to announce from the pulpit on Sundays the names of women whose time of childbirth was close at hand, and to ask the people's prayers for them. But his solicitude did not stop there. He also visited the homes of such women, first said prayers outside the home, and then entered and administered the sacraments and the sacramentals of the Church. Without going quite to these lengths today, an occasional word of instruction about this very fine blessing would encourage some women to present themselves for it.}
P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: Save your servant.
All: Who trusts in you, my God.
P: Let her find in you, Lord, a tower of strength.
All: In the face of the enemy.
P: Let the enemy have no power over her.
All: And the son of iniquity be powerless to harm her.
P: Lord, send her aid from your holy place.
All: And watch over her from Sion.
P: Lord, heed my prayer.
All: And let my cry be heard by you.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with you.
Let us pray. Almighty everlasting God, who enable us, your servants, in our profession of the true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the three Persons in the eternal Godhead, and to adore their oneness of nature, their co-equal majesty; grant, we pray, that by steadfastness in that faith this servant of yours, N., may ever be guarded against all adversity; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
Let us pray.
Lord God, Creator of all things, mighty and awesome, just and forgiving, you alone are good and kind. You saved Israel from all manner of plagues, making our forefathers your chosen people, and hallowing them by the touch of your Spirit. You, by the co-operation of the Holy Spirit, prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mary to be a worthy dwelling for your Son. You filled John the Baptist with the Holy Spirit, causing him to leap with joy in his mother's womb. Accept the offering of a humble spirit, and grant the heartfelt desire of your servant, N. who pleads for the safety of the child you allowed her to conceive. Guard the life that is yours; defend it from all the craft and spite of the pitiless foe. Let your gentle hand, like that of a skilled physician, aid her delivery, bringing her offspring safe and sound to the light of day. May her child live to be reborn in holy baptism, and continuing always in your service, be found worthy of attaining everlasting life; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
The priest sprinkles the woman with holy water and then adds the following:
Psalm 66
P: May God have pity on us and bless us; * may He let His face shine upon us.
All: So may His way be known upon earth; * among all nations, His salvation.
P: May the peoples praise you, O God; * may all the peoples praise you.
All: May all the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; * you guide the nations on earth.
P: May the peoples praise you, O God; * may all the peoples praise you.
All: The earth has yielded its fruits; * God, our God, has blessed us.
P: May God bless us, * and may all the ends of the earth fear him.
All: Glory be to the Father.
P: As it was in the beginning.
P: Let us bless the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
All: Let us praise and glorify Him forever.
P: God has given His angels charge over you.
All: To guard you in all your paths.
P: Lord, heed my prayer.
All: And let my cry be heard by you.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with you.
Let us pray.
Lord, we beg you to visit this dwelling, and to drive away from it and from this servant of yours, N, all the enemy's wiles. Let your holy angels be appointed here to keep her and her offspring in peace; and let your blessing + ever rest upon her. Save them, almighty God, and grant them your everlasting light; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.May the blessing of almighty God, Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit, come on you and your child, and remain with you forever.
All: Amen.

Dennis Rodman & Developmental psychology: Keeping StartUp Finance Under Control
After holding different financial positions in several firms outside of the Ad-Tech industry, I now have the privilege to be a part of an Ad-tech company where I control the startup's finance. This shifting was, and still is, a great challenge for me, and it enables me to reflect on the differences and similarities between different work environments.
These are 4 guidelines I'm happy to use and 1 guideline I hate using in order to keep financial processes in line regardless of the role I take.
- State the obvious: ToM – 'Theory of Mind' is the term child-developmental psychologists use to explain the ability of one to understand that others have different mind than his own. Many times we tend to forget that the person in front of us (whether he/she is a colleague in finance or in other professional areas), is not fully familiar with the topic or concept we use. There is nothing wrong with repeating an idea or information that was already used or seems obvious to you. Worst case scenario is that your colleagues will think you're a nag (They probably already do…). The most likely scenario is that one of your colleagues would be surprised to read the information you just shared and this might generate an action which is what you really intended to do by sharing this "obvious" Information.
- Initiate & Take responsibility over general processes in the company – This is especially relevant for the ad-tech Industry where medium size companies are still relatively not too complexed in terms of structure. Getting involved in more aspects of your company's day to day projects will expose you to more information regarding what is going on in your business. It might take some precious time of your schedule at the moment, but it will pay off in the future and will add to your understanding of the business as a whole.
- There is only room for one Dennis Rodman on the team. Ben Horowitz has discussed this issue over his Blog (http://a16z.com/2011/01/04/when-smart-people-are-bad-employees). He gave Dennis Rodman (Ex- Chicago Bulls' problematic player that successfully helped them win Several NBA Championships) as an example of a problematic employee you allow to step out of line once in a while. Well, if you hold a financial position, you can't be that employee. Finance position is here to support the rest of the team. Try to blend in the business existing practices and make moderate changes along the way. If I may add to what Horowitz discussed from an employee point of view – not only you are not Dennis Rodman (The 'crazy' employee), neither are you Michael Jordan (The star) in this Industry .
- Keep it simple. A former Executive I used to work with always told me that if I can't explain something to my own grandma than I don't understand it well enough. Keeping explanations simple is the best way to ensure people keep in touch with you along the process and are more likely to remember the discussed topic and touch base in the future. I always try to make small tables and summaries available to my colleagues and other work Interfaces. Usually, the Initial table will be used all along the way. I found that the longer mail I write, It will more likely to be ignored (I've learnt it the hard way J). Don't be afraid of getting your hands dirty either, a short "digging" in old data or documents clears the conflicts we thought are much more complicated.
- Admit when you're wrong. I hate doing that. But whenever I'm keeping the other guidelines in mind, a mistake is less likely to take place. More importantly, when one admits he is wrong, the other will more likely admit his wrongdoings as well. This will enable us to recognize where we or our partners failed and correct it as fast as we can and by doing that, minimize damages that can occur. When you do it, make it short and to the point. There is no way around it.
