In Part 1 of this post on Let It Be Love, we discovered how Paul placed in the context of the "Love Chapter" an idea that, at the surface, doesn't seem to fit the mold of love…putting away childish things. Not that is doesn't make sense, but that it is often misquoted as a way to tear others down instead of build them up. Yet in full content of Paul's message, he is saying that in the context of Grace and Love, we must put away self-righteousness and self-centeredness in order to grasp the love and grace that Jesus offers and expects us to pass along!
So, Paul continues on in verse 12 with the pay off! When we put aside those childish ways of thinking, allowing His love and grace to flow through us to those around us, we begin to see His reflection in our own lives (12)…we begin, in part, to love like Jesus loved and reflect a little more of His character and actions in our own lives! We get a glimpse of what we will know fully once we are in the presence of our Savior!
1 Corinthians 13:12 – For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
This chapter ends with a bang, driving home the point that love is what the follower of Jesus must default to in relationship with the people around each of us.
1 Corinthians 13:13 – And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
You see, with the Grace of God as the True North in our navigational compass, extending grace in love to others becomes a natural response to the free gift of eternal life that Christ offers us – what an amazing gift of grace!
As God continues to mold my faith and relationship with Him, my understanding and application of grace has increased ten-fold – yet there is so much more to learn about that amazing gift of grace that only Jesus can fully offer us!
A song that has a special place in my heart and deep meaning for how God is teaching me right now is a song from the group Family Force 5 called "Let It Be Love". I feel this song shares so much Truth and nails grace and love like few others! Enjoy this song and lyrics below for a great word picture of Grace, and let Love through Grace lead your relationships with everyone around you! Grace and peace to all!
"Let It Be Love"
I've never seen a soul set free
Through an argument
I've never seen a hurt get healed
In a protest
But I've seen sinners turned to saints
Because of grace
It's love, love that lights the way
Love that lights the way
Let it be our arms wide open
Bigger than the words we've spoken
Let it be a heart for the broken
If we're gonna light, light
Light the way
Let it be love, let it be love, yeah
Nothin' but love, nothin' but love, yeah
Let it be love, let it be love, yeah
It's love that lights the way
It's not about the stand we take
But the grace we give
It's not about the name we make
But the life we live
Heard about a King who sat down
Took my place
True love gave His life away
It's love that lights the way
Stronger than every fear
Comfort for all the tears
It's where the war is run
And it has overcome
Louder than the loudest shout
Deeper than the deepest doubt
We'll watch the walls fall down
We'll watch the walls fall down

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can cause white bumps to appear on the feet, also known as piezogenic pedal papules, states American Family Physician. These white bumps are fat deposits in the skin and are normally painless. Unless the white bumps become painful, they don't require treatment.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome not only can cause papules on the feet, but it can also cause skin to become fragile and overly stretchy and joints to become too flexible, explains Mayo Clinic. This condition primarily affects the connective tissues of the body, although a more severe form affects the blood vessels. This genetic disease can complicate pregnancy because the weakened blood vessels in the uterus can rupture.
Although there's no cure for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome the symptoms can be treated with physical therapy, surgery and medications, states Mayo Clinic. For instance, blood pressure medications can reduce the flow of blood through the veins, helping to prevent the veins from breaking. Because the joints are overly flexible, they are prone to dislocation, something of which physical therapy can help to prevent. Strengthening the muscles in the body helps to keep the joints in place. Sometimes surgery is required, but as the skin is easily torn and the connective tissues don't heal properly, it's rarely undertaken.

An eager freshman about to head off to college two years ago had so many things running through her mind. One of those things being to find what she is passionate about. Little did she know, that she would find just that thing one month into her four-year journey.
Now a junior, Harleigh Turner of Rome, Georgia has dedicated her time and heart to an organization on campus known as UGA Miracle. She currently serves as the Pink Color Group Captain, and has served as the Community Outreach Committee Lead in the past. Turner is a positive light wherever she goes, and is always making those around her happy. It is clear the passion she has, not only for UGA Miracle, but also for everyone in her life.
In August of her freshman year, Turner heard there was going to be an informational meeting for an organization called UGA Miracle. She decided she would attend the meeting to learn about more opportunities on campus. It was that night that she decided to become a team member and dedicate her time to UGA Miracle. What really motivated her to join was hearing the inspiring stories of children who had been to the hospital in Atlanta and seeing how passionate all the members of the Executive Board were. She knew she had made the right choice.
Immediately, Turner looked for any opportunity to help her get more involved. She became a member of the Community Outreach Committee and helped put on mini dance marathons at local high schools. This allowed her to spread awareness about an organization she truly loved.
"Sometimes I wish I could have the power to heal anyone with my hair like Rapunzel from Disney's "Tangled," but then UGA Miracle wouldn't need to exist but at least everyone would be healed," said Turner.
This year, as a color group captain, Turner helps facilitate the "Making The Miracle" program at the beginning of the school year. She also volunteers at Tate awareness days, works fundraising events, and attends all UGA Miracle events. Her main job is to provide opportunities to all who are not on a committee to get involved with the organization. She also leads trips to the Duluth Outpatient Rehabilitation Center once a month.
What inspires Turner when working with UGA Miracle is the families served through UGA Miracle. She invests every opportunity she can into the families of UGA Miracle.
"These families help put life in perspective which is the greatest gift a college student can receive," said Turner.
Her dedication to this organization is clear through all her efforts and time she spends in the Miracle Office. Those around her, elders and peers, have nothing but positive words to describe her.
"The thing that is easiest to notice about her is her passion for Miracle and her commitment to the people around her," as said by Miracle Graduate Advisor, Rachel Rhodes.
Not only has UGA Miracle become a passion for Turner, it has also changed her life and future goals. Turner came into college determined to be a first grade teacher. After talking with a particular family through UGA Miracle, she decided to change her major to human development. Her goal is to work for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta as a Child Life Specialist.
"After working with Harleigh through UGA Miracle, it is clear this is what she is meant to do for the rest of her life. She is so passionate about the children and families who come through the hospital," said Hospital Relations Committee member, Emma Weese.
Turner is already working hard to prepare for the biggest UGA Miracle event of the year, Dance Marathon. This is a twenty-four hour dance marathon that Turner describes as "one big birthday party for all the children." Her favorite part of the event is seeing the total amount fundraised revealing at the end. She encourages everyone to come out and spend some time with the amazing kids and families of UGA Miracle.
"Seeing those smiling faces and seeing the enormous number make the sleep deprivation, sweat, and countless hours fundraising 100 percent worth it," said Turner.

NEW YORK -- Carl Lewis, who is a millionaire, is running a benefit for himself on his 30th birthday.
At least he understands how farcical the thing is.
The event in question is the July 1 race in Lille, France, where Lewis will meet Canada's Ben Johnson for the first time since the 100-meter final at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
On that day, Johnson was first to the finish in a world-record 9.79 seconds, well ahead of Lewis in a personal-best 9.92. Three days later, the announcement of a positive test for steroids stripped Johnson of record, medal and career, as he was suspended by the International Amateur Athletic Federation for two years. His archrival, Lewis, inherited the gold medal and eventually also the world record with that 9.92.

Man of Constant Sorrows: Shakey Graves Rips at the Electric Factory
There's a lot that can be said of Alejandro Rose-Garcia. The man who hits the under the alias Shakey Graves is certainly no stranger to the limelight, having appeared in movies and television such as Friday Night Lights before moving on to music. Even though Saturday night at the Electric Factory was a far cry from his DIY-esque moments at Union Transfer earlier this year, Graves is still a force to be reckoned with and doesn't lose an ounce of his irrepressible charm in a room that's double the size.

T'was the day before Christmas
And all through the store
Everybody was shopping,
It was mayhem galore.
Kids dragged along
To the store with their mother
Were bumping and yelling
And running into each other
Packed in the aisles
Like sardines in a can
Everyone was jostling,
Every woman and man;
And hoping to get
That last gift just right
Before the store closed
At nine thirty that night.
My shopping was finished –
It was easy, I'm broke –
I only was here for a pack
Of caffeine-free Coke.
I'd obtained for my dad,
After searching near'n far,
A pine-scented fresh'ner
For use in his car.
For my mom I had bought
A shiny steel tin
That held a few mints
Safely there in.
A gas-station lighter
(On its side some crude joke)
For brother who's cool,
But who's too young to smoke.
The flashback thus finished
Of my shopping spree,
I focused attention
To what now affected me:
The checkouts lined up
In ranks by the door,
Yet just two were open
They didn't open more.
The harried cashier
In lane number three
On her face an expression
Asking 'please, just shoot me?'
The line there extended
Down an aisle to the side
And snaked back and forth
Like a Disneyland ride.
On seeing the queue
That would soon be my fate
I groaned deep inside, and
Thought I'd just wait
To pick up the drink
That I was here for
I turned and I got
The heck out of that store.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock-index futures trimmed small losses to trade near unchanged Thursday after a smaller-than-expected rise in first-time claims for unemployment. Investors continued to gauge prospects for the resolution of the political impasse that has shut down the government for a third day.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJZ3 were 4 points lower, a loss of less than 0.1%, at 15,021, while S&P 500 index futures SPZ3, +0.00% rose 0.6 point to 1,683.70.
Nasdaq 100 index futures US:NDZ3 gained 5 points, or 0.2%, to 3,242.50.
"Traders are hoping to hear of some political compromise before the week comes to an end but as of now, are not discounting the possibility of the shutdown running into next week. On top of that, the looming debt ceiling debate also has the market on edge," said Ishaq Siddiqi, market strategist at ETX Capital in a note.
A meeting between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders ended Wednesday night with no deal to reopen the U.S. government. Republicans are still demanding changes to the Affordable Care Act in exchange for a deal on reopening the government. President Obama has said he is willing to negotiate a broad budget deal only after Republicans agree to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling without demanding changes to the health-care law. Many government activities have been shut since the new fiscal year began Tuesday without a budget, with hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed. U.S. stocks also closed lower on Wednesday.
The dollar DXY, +0.34% was little changed after a four-day losing streak.
Stock-index futures posted little initial reaction to data that showed the number of new applications for unemployment benefits rose by 1,000 to a total of 308,000 in the week ended Sept. 28. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast seasonally-adjusted first-time claims of 313,000.
Because of the shutdown, several pieces of government-compiled economic data may not be released, including the September jobs report on Friday.
At 10 a.m. on Thursday, the ISM nonmanufacturing index will give a snapshot of the services sector. The gauge is forecast to slip to 57.5% in September from 58.6% in August.
In shutdown-related news, Dow component United Technologies Corp. UTX, -0.38% late Wednesday said it would be forced to furlough about 2,000 workers in its Sikorsky helicopter division by Oct. 7. If the shutdown continues into next week, another 2,000 workers at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems would also suffer furloughs, the company said. Shares were off 0.1% in premarket trade. The company was the worst performer on the Dow in Wednesday's regular session, dropping 2.2%.
Constellation Brands Inc. STZ, -0.74% failed to hold early premarket gains after adjusted second-quarter earnings topped forecasts, though net sales fell short. Shares were down marginally in recent action ahead of the bell.
Herbalife Ltd. HLF, +0.43% was down 0.9% in premarket trade and trending on social media. Investor Bill Ackman has restructured his short bet against the firm to protect against further paper losses, according to reports.
Zale Corp. US:ZLC fell 5.4% after the jewelry retailer late Wednesday disclosed that it is registering 11.1 million shares issuable in the event that warrants previously issued by the company are exercised.
Shares of Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA, -2.94% were under pressure in premarket, down 2.1% after posting by their worst percentage drop since July on Wednesday, after a YouTube video showed a burning Model S and an analyst downgraded the stock.
In other financial markets, both Asian and European stocks were mostly higher after Chinese data showed the services sector expanded at the fastest pace in six months in September.
Oil and most metals prices traded in negative territory.

The Next Step: Ethan Finlay's Soccer Journey Continues with First International Cap
Ethan Finlay added another individual honor to his collection on Sunday, the third of the past six months for the Columbus Crew SC winger. After earning his first MLS All-Star selection in July, and being named to the MLS Best XI team in December, on Sunday, Finlay made his MNT debut in a 3-2 win against Iceland.
"It was great. It was a lot of fun, a great experience," Finlay said afterwards. "But more importantly to come out with a win was a nice little bonus."
Finlay was rewarded with his first National Team call-up for January Camp after finishing the 2015 MLS season with 12 goals and 13 assists while playing mostly as a winger in Columbus.
"Ethan really impressed in training," Klinsmann said of the 25 year-old. "He was all over the place, he had endless energy. And sometimes you actually have to slow him down and say, 'Ethan, you don't need to go 200 miles an hour.' But it shows his character. He wants to really give everything he has and wants to prove a point. He was a bit nervous, too, which is of course normal because of his first cap. But it was definitely the right step into this group of guys."
Finlay was joined by left back Kelly Acosta as MNT debutants in the starting XI vs. Iceland. His Crew SC teammate Tony Tchani also made his U.S. debut when he entered in the second half, as did U-23 forward Jerome Kiesewetter."A win is a win. I know it's early, it's our first game of 2016 for the National Team. As a group we're happy with it," Finlay said of the game. "There's obviously still things that we need to work on. But I think it's a good start. Anytime you can start with a win it's important."

The Background of Veterans Day
Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service. It is also not to be confused with Armed Forces Day, a U.S. remembrance that also occurs in May, which specifically honors those currently serving in the U.S. military.
Because it is a federal holiday,, some American workers and many students have Veterans Day off from work or school. When Veterans Day falls on a Saturday then either Saturday or the preceding Friday may be designated as the holiday, whereas if it falls on a Sunday it is typically observed on the following Monday.
Non-essential federal government offices are closed. No mail is delivered. All federal workers are paid for the holiday; those who are required to work on the holiday sometimes receive holiday pay for that day in addition to their wages.
Several observers have noted that Election Day is a regular working day, while Veterans Day, which typically falls the following week, is a federal holiday. Some people have called for the holidays to be merged, so citizens can have the day off to vote.

Sky may be preparing to beam its first 3D broadcasts into our homes from April, but it won't be the only way to see objects flying from your flatscreen this year. Panasonic has just announced its first 3D Blu-ray player with two 3D plasmas to match.
The DMP-BT300 is the first Blu-ray in Europe that's capable of spinning Full HD 3D discs, and will be arriving in May. It'll apparently boot up in half a second and sports two HDMIs – one for sending the video to your TV, and one to pipe the sound to your amp.
Sadly, the 3D effect won't work on your existing TV. Panasonic's system uses 'frame sequential method' – images are displayed in alteration for your left and right eyes – so you'll need a pair of its Viera glasses (£100 a pop) and a 3D-ready TV to get the effect of footballs flying at your face.
Luckily, Panasonic has announced two such TVs – the 50in TX-P50VT20E and 65in TX-P65VT20E. They won't come cheap, with respective price tags of £2000 and £4000, although you do get a pair of 3D glasses thrown in. Both are expected to arrive in the UK in May.
If you prefer your TV to stay in just the two dimensions, Panasonic has also announced its first LED TVs. The D25 (42in, 37in), D28 (37in, 32in, 22in, 19in) and V20 (37in and 42in) ranges all have 600Hz processing for super-smooth action and access to Viera Cast, which has now has new services including Daily Motion and Skype for video calling. We'll bring you pricing and release dates when we get them.

Today is a tough day for many Indigenous people in Canada. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its findings from its years of work collecting testimony from survivors of the Indian Residential School system in Canada.
In a way, I am thankful that I get to finish my guest blog post with Savage Minds on a day that is so important for Indigenous people across Canada. And I am thankful I get to sign off by sharing an interview with a brilliant Indigenous scholar, Jenny Davis.
I hope that through this guest blog series I have brought your thoughts to the visceral and lived experiences of Indigenous people in North America and how this drives our research, stories, and our passion for scholarship and action. I hope that I have provided food for thought–planted seeds as my friend Dawn-Marie Marchand says. I hope that we continue to examine our relationships to one another, in an accountable and loving way, for years to come. I know that I am dedicating my career to this 'loving accountability' that Cree legal scholars like Tracey Lindberg have taught me to honour.
hiy-hiy for listening and hiy-hiy to Jenny for kindly taking the time to answer my questions about her work.
Zoe: So, I've danced a bit around the elephant in the room in the last few weeks, which is something I want to bring up in a loving and gentle way before we begin. As I've sought out Indigenous and/or POC people to interview for this series, I have found myself in the rather awkward position, as a Métis scholar, of asking you (and others) to do an interview on your work and your experiences in the academy for a blog titled Savage Minds. So, I guess before we begin I just want to get it out of the way that this title bothers me somewhat. And I want to re-iterate that I say this in a loving, open way. I mean, I understand that it is a nod to a highly regarded French anthropologist. And I love a good play on words (especially one that involves wild flowers!)–particularly ones that draw attention to contested words, or those that draw attention to words with baggage. And I acknowledge that Levi-Strauss has perhaps one of the most influential people in Anthropology in a great long while. But, as an Indigenous woman, it's another one of those moments that puts me in a 'double bind', so to speak–I want to celebrate anthropology while at the same time, some of our language and our phrasing, even when used ironically, alienates me from the anthropological academy—how do I explain to my non-anthropology friends that in writing for something titled 'savage' that the title is meant to be a nuanced commentary on anthropology's history? It has made it awkward for me to seek out Indigenous interviewees for this series because I feel that I have to keep explaining the context of the title in an apologetic way in order to move forward. I don't know how to address this, other than to preface our interview with a gentle statement about it just so it's clear that I myself am struggling with the complex position of wrangling with the multiple, complicated facets of using words like savage (or indeed other loaded words from Anthropology's past, like primitive or 'hunter-gatherer') in our work. Because while this title is playful and purpose-full (and politically informed), I have also been the person in the room critiqued for 'going native' by a classmate. How do we make space to talk about what happens when ironic use of phrases can unwittingly create space for the un-ironic, deliberate and pejorative use of phrases within our discipline? Hiy-hiy for letting me start off with this!
You are a linguistic anthropologist working at the University of Illinois. And you are an Indigenous scholar. I always like to ask other Indigenous scholars how they wound up in anthropology! How did you end up here in the discipline?
JD: I started out studying English and Spanish at my undergrad university (Oklahoma State) where I was able to take classes in linguistics. After my first class in sociolinguistics as a junior, I knew I wanted to work in that area. At the same time, my tribe (the Chickasaw Nation), was starting to build language documentation and revitalization efforts, and I was interested in being able to work with them in various capacities on that project. My interest in both language documentation/revitalization and indigenous gender & sexuality took me to the linguistics program at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I was able to combine coursework in both linguistics and anthropology.
Zoe: How has your work shaped your relationship to the discipline? Are there hopeful aspects you see with regards to the value of linguistic anthropology as a place to explore topics that are meaningful to you as an Indigenous scholar? Are there challenges to doing your work within anthropology?
JD: My work is centered at the intersection of several disciplines—linguistics, anthropology, and Indigenous studies—and each is driven by a different, equally important focus on language, culture, and indigeneity, respectively. As a result, it is easy to see the strengths of each field as well as their weaknesses. In general, I see linguistic anthropology working to create the tools to discuss the role of language—and broader semiotic systems—in indigenous life and identity at levels ranging from single utterances all the way up to national or global language policy, and that really appeals to me.
One of the major challenges for any "Native" anthropologist working in Anthropology is the difference between Anthropology having acknowledged certain issues as a discipline versus whether or not those issues are addressed and challenged on an individual or institutional level. Our field's origins in colonial endeavours, for example, have been the topic of countless conference panels, journal articles, and books. However, comments to those of us who do research within our own communities still demonstrate that an "outsider" view is considered more academic, rigorous, and "real," and there is a tendency within the field to (begrudgingly) acknowledge the problematic nature of those settler colonial enterprises without actively changing their/our behaviour.
As an example, I was recently at a national anthropology conference where 3 separate people made reference to their fieldwork location as "my village." One waved off potential critiques of the use of that phrase by recounting how ridiculous it was that a fellow scholar had once been chastised by a senior colleague for using it at some earlier conference. Another put the phrase in air quotes while laughing—thereby acknowledging that they knew it was a problematic way of referring to a field site yet were refusing to drop one of the long standing discursive tropes of Anthropology that position predominately white researchers from settler colonial countries as having some ownership or claim to indigenous communities around the world. Such discursive moves make it clear that there is still little expectation that the "researched," or those that have very different claims to the "villages" under discussion, might also be in the room.
Zoe: You have written about gender, two-spirit gender, and queer theory. Do you think anthropology is doing a good job of engaging these issues? If so, how? If not, what can we work on to be better and more accountable for how we address these topics?
JD: There is phenomenal scholarship in gender, sexuality, and queer theory going on in Anthropology—research that is driving anthropological theory, methodologies, and ethics forward for the entire field. In fact, this week I'm looking forward to reading a new edited volume that has just come out, Queer Necropolotics, that looks at the intersection of queerness with structural violence and death in different contexts around the world.
An important aspect is to see queer theory and the anthropology of gender and sexuality as a core element of anthropological inquiry rather than at its margins. I think we can see some promising examples of the integration of queer scholarship in discussions that aren't singularly about gender or sexuality, which is necessary for a robust engagement in Anthropology with these areas. Last year's AAA conference provided several examples. For instance, a double panel on 'Parsing the Body' included a wide range of papers—one of which by Lal Zimman explored the role of the larynx, and its production of creaky voice, as an index of gender across both cisgender and transgender speakers. Another paper, by Wesley Leonard, on a panel focusing on 'Producing Language Reclamation,' included data from a number of indigenous language activists—some of which happened to be Two-Spirit. The inclusion of Two-Spirit people in discussion of language activism and revitalization—rather than only in discussions of indigenous gender and sexuality is actually a powerful move that positions them not just as "footnote deviants" (Hall 2003), but as speakers of endangered languages or otherwise typical representatives of contemporary Indigeneity.
Zoe: Where are you focusing your attention now?
JD: Broadly speaking, my research interests lie in the relationship between indigenous language(s) and identity, and my current research is focused on continuing two (related) projects: language and urban and/or diasporic Indigeneity and Two-Spirit identity and activism. My dissertation looked at the social dynamics surrounding language revitalization within my tribe focusing primarily on those living within the tribal jurisdiction in Southeastern Oklahoma. But a significant percentage of my tribe—and Native Americans in general—live outside of their tribal jurisdictions in urban "hubs" like Chicago, Denver, and NYC. These urban spaces provide interesting challenges and opportunities for language documentation and revitalization, and represent different sociocultural and linguistic dynamics than are usually the focus of research in linguistic anthropology on American Indians.
My research on Two-Spirit identity and activism takes place in many of those same urban spaces—where Two-Spirit organizations have formed over the past decades. Two-Spirit individuals are indigenous North Americans who spiritually identify as both female and male, and who may also identify as GLBTI Q (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer) Natives. As multiply marginalized position, Two-Spirit identity is often discussed and theorized by people with very little or no connection to the individuals and groups that live and define those position(s), and research on Two-Spirit people often focuses on "male bodied" Two-Spirit experiences, which erases the wide range of gender and sexual identities and experiences within the community. I'm interested in the ways that all Two-Spirit individuals, families, and groups negotiate all of the intersecting aspects of their lives in highly multi-tribal and multi-lingual contexts and how that informs our understanding of contemporary indigenous realities.
Zoe: Do you have any advice for other Indigenous scholars within the discipline? Anything you wish someone had said to you when you started grad school?
JD: First, academia has its own set of rules (many of which are based on a very different culture than yours), and much of your time will be spent figuring out, and crashing up against, these rules. Find someone (or several someones) who can help make them more transparent. It may be helpful to think of graduate school as an ethnographic study of Anthropology—take notes. Your etic observations may some day be invaluable to the community should it find itself needing to reclaim its cultural traditions or defend its existence to some government agency.
Zoe: (anything else you want to add!)
JD: Thanks for inviting me to the conversation, and including me with such an awesome group of scholars!
hiy-hiy, again, for this opportunity to guest-blog. It has been a positive and thought-provoking experience and I am grateful that it has nurtured kinship with other thinkers within and beyond our discipline.

Herman Miller Office Products
Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him.
By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with "modern" furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
Since then, we've collaborated with some of the most outstanding designers in the world, including Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi, Robert Propst, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, Ayse Birsel, Studio 7.5, Yves Béhar, Doug Ball, and many talented others.
Today, in addition to our classic pieces and new designs for the home, Herman Miller is a recognized innovator in contemporary interior furnishings, solutions for healthcare environments, and related technologies and services.

Open Plan Systems provides high quality new manufactured and sustainable systems options at extreme value pricing. Our new manufactured systems feature all new U.S. products made to major manufacturer standards. Provide a modern designer look with our low panels, open or freestanding layouts, desking, tile or modular walls. Our new manufactured systems also offer the added benefits of flexibility and selection, all at a significant cost-savings.
For those more budget or environmentally minded, our sustainable systems offer an even deeper discount. Remanufactured stations typically provide up to 40% off the cost of new, though they are held to the same standards of quality and durability. With our sustainable options, we remanufacture three core components, the panel core, connector core and overhead core. Everything else is new! Unlike refurbishing, remanufacturing is a process that strips goods down to their raw state where they are then manufactured to the same standards and appearance of new office furniture. The use of environmentally friendly or low impact materials and furniture can also earn points toward a LEED certification.
At Open Plan Systems, we never compromise quality for value. With our UL Listing and limited lifetime warranty, we ensure the same quality standards as major manufacturers but offer our products at a fraction of the cost. In addition to our new manufactured and sustainable systems options, we are also a leading distributor of seating, case goods, storage and accessories.

If there is anything, there is us'
Oh I loved this book even more than the first one, wow!
Onyx continues the story of Katy and Daemon. Now they're connected somehow and they have to face a threat bigger than the Arums. Now the Department of Defense has shown up in town and they can't figure out that that bond between Katy and Daemon exists.
Well, this book was even better than the first. While I was reading it, I got so mad at Katy, because really.. She could be soooo annoying sometimes! It was amazing, ugh! But, then we had Daemon. On book one he was a complete jerk, but in this second book he was so sweet and protective, he just wanted to be there for Katy, but she wouldn't let him. Again, UGH!
But seriously, this series has impressed me A LOT. I wasn't expecting it to be so addictive! But now I can't wait to read the next one!!!!!!

So as the easterly winds blow, we spot the affable Blackbeard and his crew tussling with the sky. The sky, once visible happened to be several hundreds of reapers, possibly looking to cull the freeman and his lot.
We let them be and strode across the plains of another living flower. We came upon a woman, passed out, and from what I could tell, hardly alive. I passed a hand across her breast, to gain a reaction but none was to be had.
Surhlock and his impatience got a hold of him as he poured some healing magicks into her ravaged soul. Hmm, I have to admit, I didn't believe the witch had it in him.
((chuckles a bit))
We decide to help the poor soul find her dragged about husband, also taken by the reapers.
The poor man had been placed in a tree, perhaps a snack for later, or like the tree born cats do, save their quarry for more desperate times.
Once patched and healed, the two inform us of some sentimental treasures that are on the next flowered island. The one dipping into the water, as if dying from the corruption spewed by the reapers gathered there.
We scurry along, as aphids across the wide petals of a orchid. Our newest companions lead us towards the center, where they halt, suddenly without word. We assume that more reapers are hidden in front of us, however once True Sight is cast, we see Blackbeard and his crew resting.
Blasts of magic jut from Blackbeard's crew, laying upon the two, who now appear to be reapers in disguise…. unknowingly to us, leading us to our deaths.
I think to myself, I should have examined those breasts a bit more closely.
((chuckling again))
Journeying on, we find ourselves at the Aqueduct, a place of wonder. These shipwrights have it down to an art, an elaborate dance; lift, bang, lift, set, bang, shift… a boat, or rather I say, a SHIP!
We place our order and now we wait… I should get a drink.

This Week In Indie: Bundles Galore And More Bundles
The past week has been the week of bundles for indie games, and I took it upon myself to write about some of those bundles this week. Most of these bundles make it in time for the festive season and are reaching for the last vestiges of money you may have lying around.
- You'll Be Able To Play (Expensive) PS2 Games On Your PS4 Now | 2 months ago
- Jessica Jones Disempowers Its Male Characters And The Effect Is Refreshing | 2 months ago
- Hell Is 30 000 Deathclaws Tearing Through Boston And It's Glorious | 2 months ago
- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
The first bundle we'll be taking a look at is the Winter Bundle from the folks over at Indie Royale. This bundle will last through until the 10th of December and features six indie games for the minimum of $5.32, and you receive two soundtracks for the games Leave Home and They Breathe. If you pay $8 or more you can unlock another album. The games included in the bundle are: Greed Corp, Hamelt, BIT.TRIP Runner, Conquest of Elysium 3, Leave Home, and They Breathe (+ DLC). Most of the games are available on Windows and Steam, with BIT.TRIP Runner and Conquest of Elysium 3 being the only games available for Mac users. Keep on the look out for the Christmas bundle from Indie Royale which will also be released in a few weeks.
The second bundle we'll be talking about is the Be Mine 6 Bundle which was released by the guys over at Groupees. This bundle is marketed as a games and music bundle. This bundle works in a tier structure with the minimum being $1 followed by a $5 bracket, with additional incentives added when the number of bundles sold increases. This is the breakdown:
For $1+
Eschalon: Book I
Enclave Gold 2012 Edition
Monarchy (music album)
Comfort (music album)
Special Collection (music album)
Men of War: Condemned Heroes
For $5+
Dawn Of Fantasy – with official soundtrack
Worms Reloaded
Two Worlds Epic Edition – with official soundtrack
Gorky 17
Earth 2160
So far there have been 7000 bundles sold, and there are an awesome amount of incentives for any type of buyer interested in the indie scene, and this bundle by extension. Most of the games are available on Steam and Desura. So if you are interested do check it out.
The final bundle we'll be looking at is from Bundle In A Box and is called Eclectic Delights. If you pay a minimum of $0.99 your purchase will include: Shadows of the Vatican: Act I, Delve Deeper (complete with DLC), War of the Human Tanks, Eversion and Fibrilation. If you beat the average of $2.70 you can receive more rewards and extras such as: The Adventures of Shuggy, Stay Dead, The 4th Wall and Flibble. There is even more than what I've listed available. Just head over to the website through the link provided, and you can see for yourself. Most of the games on offer are available through Steam and Desura. There is very little Mac support in this bundle. This is a varied bundle with a lot to offer, and with many incentives. If you're at all interested, I suggest having a look at the website, and perhaps buying a bundle. This is a great find.
Well that's it for this week. I hope your weekend is awesome and filled with indie goodness as always. Remember to keep it real and indie. See you next week.

Walking on Water: Reading, Writing and RevolutionBy: Derrick Jensen (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionRemember the days of longing for the hands on the classroom clock to move faster? Most of us would say we love to learn, but we hated school. Why is that? What happens to creativity and individuality as we pass through the educational system? Walking on Water is a startling and provocative look at teaching, writing, creativity, and life by a writer increasingly recognized for his passionate and articulate critique of modern civilization. This time Derrick Jensen brings us into his classroom--whether college or maximum security prison--where he teaches writing. He reveals how schools perpetuate the great illusion that happiness lies outside of ourselves and that learning to please and submit to those in power makes us into lifelong clock-watchers. As a writing teacher Jensen guides his students out of the confines of traditional education to find their own voices, freedom, and creativity. Jensen's great gift as a teacher and writer is to bring us fully alive at the same moment he is making us confront our losses and count our defeats. It is at the center of Walking on Water, a book that is not only a hard-hitting and sometimes scathing critique of our current educational system and not only a hands-on method for learning how to write, but, like Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, a lesson on how to connect to the core of our creative selves, to the miracle of waking up and arriving breathless (but with dry feet) on the far shore.
About AuthorDerrick Jensen is the prize-winning author of A Language Older than Words, The Culture of Make Believe, Listening to the Land, Strangely Like War, Welcome to the Machine, and Walking on Water. He was one of two finalists for the 2003 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, which cited The Culture of Make Believe as "a passionate and provocative meditation on the nexus of racism, genocide, environmental destruction and corporate malfeasance, where civilization meets its discontents." He writes for The New York Times Magazine, Audubon, and The Sun Magazine among many others. He is an environmental activist and lives on the coast of northern California.

Even Better
You may have seen my previous post, where I discussed electrifying my little Truetone/Kay. I really like it, and I plan on playing it at Herman's Hideaway, on the the 19th of this month. But, I didn't think that the pickup I put in it really fit the vintage vibe:
So, I pulled a vintage (1960s) DeArmond out of the parts stash, this afternoon, and replaced the Strat-style pickup.
It not only looks better, but it sounds awesome, as well.
I don't much care for the strings, though. I am going to restring it with my normal gauges and go from there. Other than that, the guitar is just about perfect!
