Sunlight presents Ode 1121, in a poetic version by
Coleman Barks and in a translation by A.J. Arberry:
Spring, and no one can be still,
with all the messages coming through.
We walk outside as though going to meet visitors,
wild roses, trilliums by the water.
A tight knot loosens.
Something which died in December
lifts a head out,
and opens.
Trees, the tribe gathers!
Who has a chance
against such an elegant assemblage?
Before this power,
human beings are chives to be chopped,
gnats to be waved away.
-- Version by Coleman Barks
"These Branching Moments,"
Copper Beech Press, 1988
Joyous spring has arrived and the Beloved's message has come,
we are drunk with love and intoxicated and cannot be still.
O my darling one, go forth to the garden, do not leave the
beauties of the meadow in expectation.
Strangers from the Unseen have arrived in the meadow; go
forth, for it is a rule that "the newcomer is visited."*
Following your footsteps the rose has come into the rosebower,
to greet and meet you the thorn has become soft of cheek.
Cypress, give ear, for the lily in exposition of you has become
all tongue by the bank of the river.
The bud was tightly knotted; your grace looses knots; the rose
blossoms thanks to you, and scatters it petals over you.
You might say that it is the resurrection, that there have raised
their heads from the earth those who rotted in December and
January, the dead of yesteryear.
The seed which had died has now found life, the secret which
earth held has now become revealed.
The bough which held fruit is glorying for joy, the root which
had none is shamefast and ashamed.
After all, the trees of the spirit will become even so, the tree of
excellent boughs and fortunate will be manifest.
The king of spring has drawn up his army and made his
provisions; the jasmine has seized the shield, the green grass
Dhu 'l-Faqar.
They say, "We will cut off the head of So-and-so like chives;
behold that visibly enacted in the handiwork of the Creator."
Yes; when the succour of divine assistance arrives, Nimrod is
brought to destruction by a gnat*.
--Translation by A. J. Arberry
"Mystical Poems of Rumi 1"
The University of Chicago Press, 1968
* Rumi quotes an Arabic rule of etiquette.
* Nimrod died of a gnat-bite, see Nicholson on Math. I:1189.

SAN FRANCISCO — A fourth man suspected of robbing a medical marijuana dispensary was arrested Wednesday morning after he barricaded himself inside the pot club, holding four employees hostage for more than four hours, police said.
The suspect surrendered to a SWAT team after a police dog was sent into the building at Jennings Street and Wallace Avenue, San Francisco police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said. The man reportedly heard the dog barking and yelled "I don't want to be bitten!" before turning himself in just after 10 a.m.
Police led the man away in handcuffs, though authorities kept their weapons drawn and aimed at the dispensary for another 10 minutes, witnesses said.
According to Andraychak, four employees working in the dispensary's grow room were held hostage for more than four hours before being released just after 8 a.m. As they emerged from the building, an officer had them sit against a wall for questioning before taking them to the police station for more interviews. None of them were injured in the incident.
Earlier that morning, three other suspects in the robbery were arrested about 3:50 a.m. within two blocks of the building, after police saw them running from the pot club, wearing ski masks, Andraychak said. Authorities later discovered at least one of the four suspects arrested Wednesday was armed with a handgun, though it was not immediately known if it was the man keeping hostages.
Investigators entered the building after the hostages were released and found about 100 marijuana plants between a few inches and a few feet tall, Andraychak said. Some were dried and ready for packaging and distribution.
According to Andraychak, the grow operation appeared to be in compliance with the code for public health permits.
"The focus of the investigation is the armed takeover robbery," Andraychak said. "The marijuana grow is very secondary,"
The police dog used in the operation, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois named Tomak, is a 3-year-veteran of the SFPD who is specially trained in SWAT operations. Tomak was praised for bringing the suspect out of the building. "We definitely want to give the puppy credit," Andraychak said. "But it was a very large operation out there this morning–crisis negotiators, SWAT, firefighters, parking and traffic. A lot goes into this to bring about peaceful resolution."

Ampthill secured a bonus point win over Sedgley Park with the last play of the game as they ran out winners by 27 points to 8.
With a raft of changes following the defeat at Leicester Lions, it was perhaps not surprising that Amps looked disjointed in the first half, especially given the aggressive and physical opposition.
The second half performance was much improved, with more cohesion, but it wasn't a day for backs' flair.
The hosts took the lead in the 13th minute when fly-half Joseph Tarrant kicked a straightforward penalty goal after the visitors were penalised at a breakdown.
Alexander Bloisi increased the home side's lead on 17 minutes as Sedgley failed to stop a catch and drive, with Tarrant adding the extras from the touchline.
The visitors then opened their account in the 26th minute with a penalty goal after Ampthill were deemed offside in midfield.
The remainder of the half saw Amps on the attack, but stout defence from Park and poor finishing from the hosts left the scoreboard team untroubled.
The hosts stepped up a gear at the beginning of the second period; ball was faster as breakdowns were being cleared more effectively, while Sedgley began to incur the displeasure of the referee.
On 49 minutes, a second catch and drive saw open side flanker Joseph Bercis score his 16th try of the season, followed in the 61st minute by his 17th after another similar lineout and maul – both tries going unconverted.
With the visitors unable to field a qualified front row after injury and a yellow card, uncontested scrums saw them produce their best period of the game.
This eventually culminated in a 78th minute unconverted try for their left winger.
The hosts weren't finished, however, and – with the last play of the game – centre William Goodge crowned an improving debut with a try to secure the bonus point .
Ampthill director of rugby Mark Lavery said: "This was a much improved defensive performance over the previous two games.
"For Will Goodge to score the bonus try on debut was great for him."

1994 Toyota Camry
Think again, all those who believe that transporting the kids-or heading out for a weekend excursion-in a midsize station wagon means tolerating a boxy, lumbering vehicle. The 1994 Toyota Camry LE Wagon is superbly styled, excels in performance and offers plenty of room.
If you happen to be one of your household's more popular forms of public transportation, the Camry LE Wagon can carry as many as seven passengers with its optional third-seat package. And whether you're running errands or taking an extended road trip, there's plenty of storage space. With both back seats down, there's 74.8 cubic feet of cargo room. Up top, the adjustable roof rack lets you carry as much as 100 pounds of luggage.
The Camry LE Wagon comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, but we tested the transverse-mounted, 3.0-liter, 188-hp V6 model.
The MSRP of our test wagon, including standard air conditioning, power windows and door locks, and cruise control, was $22,918. We added a jazzier sound system with eight speakers, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), the third rear-seat package, carpeted floor mats and a roof rack, and the price jumped to $25,398.
With its fine lines, rounded sides, and silky finish, it was hard to keep our hands off the Camry LE Wagon's smooth body. The hood was slightly raised with a delicate curve. Directly underneath was a metal sheet to protect the bottom from bouncing rocks. The sides of the LE Wagon were extremely clean in design-from the subtle plastic strip that highlighted its platinum sheen to the recessed door handles.
The hood was easy to open with a flip of a lever, and the oil dipstick and reservoir were within easy reach.
In the rear, two windshield wipers suggested a seriousness about visibility. Really, who can see out the back of a one-rear-wiper window in poor conditions? The taillights wrapped slightly around the rear corners, adding to our impression that everything about this wagon fit together perfectly.
Overall, there wasn't a lot of decoration other than the chrome Toyota emblem and name. But we think the simple, elegant styling of this wagon will still turn a few heads.
Interior Features
Our 6-foot test driver slipped easily into the Camry LE Wagon when the steering wheel was raised. Once in the cockpit, he found a comfortable seat that provided good visibility and a surprising sense of spaciousness for a midsize vehicle.
Overall, the dash looked well engineered. Controls weren't jammed into comers or hidden out of sight. The only feature we did have a problem locating was the hood release. After consulting the owner's manual, we finally found it under the parking brake.
The driver's seat could be adjusted front to back with a lever, and there were knobs to adjust the lower torso support. The driver's seat reclined further than most wagons we tested. It also sat back a bit and offered plenty of headroom.
The backseat was comfortable enough for three people and, with 34.7-inches of legroom, a tag person wouldn't have to worry about feeling cramped. The 60/40 seat transition was easily accomplished with a touch of a button, leaving plenty of space for long, oversized cargo.
There were several well-thought-out safety features, such as hefty, velour-covered support posts, childproof rear door locks and backseat three-point seat belts.
The rear hatch was quite wide, and rear storage could accommodate 40 cubic feet of cargo. Our valuables were hidden by a retractable mat.
Driving Impressions
Our Camry LE Wagon started up as quietly as a sewing machine and remained rattle-free throughout our drive. On the highway, it accelerated quickly and smoothly to 70 mph with a peppy, throaty sound. Once up to speed, the our test wagon was comfortable and handled responsively when merging into traffic. The cruise-control buttons were on the steering wheel itself, so we didn't have to worry about quickly locating a lever to activate this feature.
The LE Wagon offered a sporty, high-performance drive compared with the heavy handling of some other wagons. Shifting in and out of gear was simple, and the lever was ergonomically designed to feel good in our driver's hand. (Keep in mind that the LE Wagon won't shift into drive unless the brake is on.)
Control was never a problem, whether we were driving on ice or packed snow, or when we tried a 360-degree turn at 45 mph. We were even able to swing a U-turn on a normal-width side street. Braking on an icy road from 20 mph, we found the ABS worked as advertised but made a loud grating sound.
When going up a steep hill or pulling a load, we slipped out of overdrive, floored it and quickly reached 45 mph at 6,000 rpms.
As for the ride, the high-tech suspension didn't prevent us from feeling bumps and irregularities in the road, but after a few days of commuting we probably wouldn't have noticed the slight bouncing .
One important standout: We found that our LE Wagon was so easy to park, it almost seemed to assist in the effort.
Keeping in mind Toyota's reputation for fantastic fit-and-finish, the LE Wagon didn't disappoint us.
Nor can its flair for providing all-around comfort be overemphasized. The Camry's roominess, in particular, is one of the car's most pleasant features, which is surprising when you consider the tight wheelbase (103.1 inches). But lots of legroom is a splendid bonus on this vehicle that has touched all the bases.
However, enthusiasm about this wagon's overall package might be tempered a bit by its hefty price tag. After all, a few more bucks would get you an even roomier minivan-but what you might gain in space you'd probably lose in styling and performance.
In the end, we found this to be a well-engineered utility vehicle that happens to be a station wagon. For those who feel that a wagon is a throwback to the old boat your mother schlepped you around in, there is n o similarity. This is a performance car-one that your kids might even ask to borrow.

The Chateau Bellevie had another outstanding wedding! Liz and Eric picked such a great location and the perfect day - as the weather was just remarkable! I had a great time with Liz and her bridal party, it was relaxing, too! The bridesmaids dresses paired so well with their delicate bouquets of flowers. Liz's photos capture so much sunshine and beauty, I just can't get enough of them, I am sure she will have these hanging all over their home! I loved styling all of these ladies hair, it was a blast getting to talk with them and get excited for them as well! It should be noted that I would describe Liz as a beautiful and elegant - graceful bride.
I couldn't be any happier for her and Eric, they have so much ahead of them!

Epic Anime Beatdown
From time to time I travel to anime conventions. While they are fun for anyone who is into this sort of thing there are some things you have to watch out for. I don't just mean pedobear or the possibility that if you are in cosplay you may be glomped to death. No. The thing to really watch out for is epic anime fights. Yes. That's right. Some cosplayers aren't really cosplayers at all… so watch out! Or at least try to steer clear of the punching ect.
Gak is the one responsible (and getting the bejeesus beat out of him) for this video. I highly suggest checking out his other videos for some more of his great editing and his willingness to figure out new SFX to keep us entertained. One of which is a Death Eater vs an Auror in case any of you need something to get you even more excited for the last Harry Potter movie.

Out In The City
Trans youth seek camping help
As summer approaches and the weather heats up in Britain, summer residentials are kicking off. Usually these programs for children are segregated by sex, putting transgender youth in awkward positions and limited options for social interaction during the season. Gendered Intelligence, a community interest company that supports trans youth, attempts to combat this every summer with a trans youth residential.
The programme includes everything from kayaking to raft building as well as informal games and social interacting that help trans youth gain important personal and outdoor skills. The residential provides a safe space for all gender identities expressed by youth.
However, running residentials is costly and homelessness and poverty remains a frequent issue for LGBT communities, especially transgender people.
For this reason, Gendered Intelligence is seeking donations to support this August's camping residential. Previous residentials have seen 15-20 trans youth attending and with a cost at £300 a head. This year they have 20 signed up and 10 on the waiting list. To support and cover all of the youth, GI needs £5,000 in donations.
"Our summer residential really gives our young trans members a safe space to be themselves and a chance to have a positive experience with other trans youth, to make new friends and to strengthen old ones. Come rain or shine the most fun will be had cooking over an open fire, having heart to hearts, laughing and bonding. It just may be that this quite simple opportunity for our young people could actually be life changing," said Jay Stewart, co-founder of Gendered Intelligence.
Though many of the youth can't share their names, many of them report positive experiences: "I really enjoyed being part of this physical project. I most enjoyed the swimming session. I can't swim but the instructor gave me a lot of attention and said that I had potential, which was really encouraging."

Female BATMAN FANS Can Now Find #BATMAN T-Shirts at Walmart!
I have a lot of friends who are Women and they all say it's kind of hard sometimes to find BATMAN-Themed T-Shirts to wear. Well, our friend Melissa was at Walmart recently and spotted all of these beauties.... so, Ladies, quick yer whining! (Ha Ha). I really like the one with a bunch of vintage Batman comic book logos but the pink one is cute too.
(Thanks Melissa, great pics!)

After a fantastic 2014 of food, I am feeling enthusiastic about a new year of dining out! Read on to find out what's top of my wish list for 2015….
Pompadour by Galvin is billed as the Grand Old Lady of Edinburgh restaurants. If that's what old age does to you – bring on the wrinkles, I say! The sample al a carte menu sounds delish – in particular the starter of 'Roast Hand Dived Scallops, Pig's Trotter & Veal Sweetbreads, Parsnip Purée, Apple Fondants' has my mouth watering.
Meanwhile, Glasgow is going all Heston on us with Porter & Rye, a newly opened restaurant on Argyle Street, which specialises in molecular dining and quality beef from Gaindykehead Farm. I'm intrigued, but let's be honest; the truffle salt fries alone are enough to get me through the door!
I'm not going to lie, I did give a little squeal of excitement when I opened the Christmas gift from my lovely sister-in-law to find vouchers for The Kitchin, Leith. Someone knows me too well! A visit to a Michelin star restaurant is always an experience and this is one place I can't wait to try! The a la carte menu sounds amazing with a massive emphasis on Scottish seasonal produce but I think I have my heart set on the 'Celebration of the Season Surprise Tasting Menu'. Watch this space for my review!
During this year's MasterChef: The Professionals, I genuinely wished taste-o-vision had been invented. From the signature dishes to the innovation tests, my stomach rumbled the whole way through. That's why Moonfish Café in Aberdeen is one of my must visits for 2015. Brian McLeish, one of the three finalists on the show, is Head Chef at the restaurant which turns out phenomenal seafood and also has an impressive gin selection.
Restaurant Mark Greenaway is next on my 2015 hit list. The Edinburgh restaurant has 3 AA rossettes and the dining room looks gorgeous. As a self-confessed pudding fan I am particularly excited to try Mark's famous desserts! Fingers (and toes) crossed that Mark's 'Great British Menu "Knot" Chocolate Tart' is still on the menu when I visit.
Now for a second entry on my wish list from the creative genius that is Tom Kitchin. At The Scran & Scallie the ethos is still 'From Nature to Plate' but this time it's not fine dining but a relaxed gastro pub. The rustic surroundings and tasty sounding 'scran' made this a no-brainer for my list. Plus there's a good selection of ales and single malts to keep the husband happy.
The final wish on my 2015 list might be a little far fetched but bear with me. So here's the dream, I fly in (by sea plane, of course) to the heart of Rob Roy country and arrive at the postcard pretty Monachyle Mhor Hotel and Restaurant. There I'm greeted with a glass of champagne and cooked a delicious meal by Head Chef Maria Paszkowska. Then I spend the night in one of the 14 individually styled bedrooms – I'll go for one with a free-standing bathtub, please and thank you. Ok, as I said, maybe this is a dream that's slightly out of budget! But I would definitely love to do lunch at Monachyle Mhor this year for a very reasonable £30 for 3 courses. Perhaps I'll even squeeze in an overnight at little sister venue the Mhor 84 Motel.
Well I think that's a good start for dining in 2015, but I'd love to hear any restaurant recommendations you have for this year! Leave a comment below or drop me a line on firstname.lastname@example.com

"I couldn't be happier with my new apron and want to say thank you to Jason and Texas Heritage Woodworks for their great work."
-Shannon Rogers, the Renaissance Woodworker and Hand Tool School founder
Recently I was approached by The Renaissance Woodworker, Shannon Rogers to build a custom shop apron for him. I've followed Shannon's blog for a few years now, I know what he expects in terms of fit and finish. The man has high standards. Those standards are reflected in the quality of his work. I was thrilled to work with him to design an apron that fit his specific needs. He's had the apron for a while now and recently posted a thorough review on his blog. You can check it out here:
It's one thing to look at pictures of my aprons. While you can see the attention to detail and the overall potential of the shop apron in a photo, it's quite another to see it in use. Follow Shannon's blog, he regularly posts wonderful videos on a wide variety of handtool subjects. See the shop apron as it's used by an experienced woodworker. You'll be exposed to a wealth of traditional woodworking knowledge in the process. And that's a good thing!

Announcing Torrey Townsend's 'The Workshop'
softFocus is thrilled to announce that the follow-up production to 2016's The Power of Punctuation will be Torrey Townsend's The Workshop.
The Workshop, a harrowing and hilarious satire of theater and academia, will be directed by Knud Adams. Austin Pendleton joins the cast as the professor, and The Workshop co-stars Tim Platt, Cesar J. Rosado, Claire Siebers, Laura Lassy Townsend, and Christopher Dylan White.
Tickets to the world premiere are now available; it will run from July 27th to August 13th at 124 Bank Street Theater in the West Village.
Torrey Townsend's most recent piece, A Night Out, was devised in collaboration with Knud Adams and was an ensemble-driven, site-specific piece performed for only 15 people a night in a private Brooklyn residence. Townsend holds an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University, where he was mentored by playwright Annie Baker; Knud Adams has assisted André Gregory, Elizabeth LeCompte, Richard Foreman, Sam Gold, and Sarah Benson and was Drama League Directing Fellow, a member of the Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab, and a Playwrights Horizons Directing Resident.
"Torrey and Knud are brilliant collaborators that brought us A Night Out, one of my favorite devised experiences of the last decade. We're excited to keep that nimble, intimate spirit going with The Workshop," says artistic director Matt Kagen.
"The Workshop is about cultural production in New York City, something that we are obviously very interested in exploring. And having Austin Pendleton, someone who has been so central to the last half century of theater New York, working alongside Claire, Tim, Chris, Cesar, and Laura, some of this generation's most exciting performers, is one of the many thrilling meta layers to this premiere," said softFocus executive producer Fern Diaz.
The design team includes Oona Curley (Lighting and Set Design), Lauren Levin (Costume Design), Peter Mills Weiss (Sound Design), Andrew Moerdyk (Associate Set Designer/TD), and Stacey Derosier (Associate Lighting Designer/ME). The Production Stage Manager will be Lindsay Warnick, and Associate Stage Manager will be Sidney Junk.
Tickets are $18 (30 years and under), and $29 (general admission). Seating is extremely limited. Tickets are now on sale here.

text: A sports centre was destroyed by fire, and a school was seriously damaged during the riots [Reuters]French interior minister Manuel Valls has been booed in the northern city of Amiens, hours after riots which left more than a dozen people injured. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to quell the unrest that erupted in the area late on Monday; a primary school was severely damaged by fire, and a sports centre was destroyed. At least 16 officers were wounded by buckshot, fireworks and other projectiles thrown by rioters. Valls told the community that nothing could excuse the attacks on the police or the destruction of public amenities. "I have not come here to challenge a community, young people in general. I have come to say that here... law and justice must prevail," he said on Tuesday. "Nothing, bar nothing, can excuse shooting at the police and law enforcement officials." 'Scene of desolation' The clashes, which involved around 100 local youths, were triggered by the arrest of a man for dangerous driving. The arrest was seen as insensitive, as it came as many residents of the neighbourhood were attending a wake for a local 20-year-old who had died in a motorbike accident. Police in Amiens said the riot began around 9pm local time on Monday, ending around 4am local time after federal reinforcements arrived. It followed lower-scale clashes 24 hours earlier, which were triggered by the arrest of a man for dangerous driving. "The state will mobilise all its means to combat these violent acts" - Francois Hollande, French president The Socialist mayor of Amiens said he had encountered a "scene of desolation" in the northern quarter of a city that is well known for its university and its 13th century Gothic cathedral. "There have been regular incidents here but it has been years since we've known a night as violent as this, with so much damage done," Gilles Demailly told the AFP news agency. Earlier this month, the district in Amiens was identified as among 15 "priority security zones" across the country. Those areas will see an emphasis on tougher policing. Unemployment in Amiens stands at around 45 per cent. Trade unions battling job cuts across French industry have warned of a "hot autumn" of protest unless the government eases up on its austerity measures. But French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday made it clear he regarded the unrest in Amiens as primarily a problem of criminality, and promised a tough response. "The state will mobilise all its means to combat these violent acts," he said. "Security is not only a priority for us, it is an obligation." SOURCE: Agencies Europe France

She's currently on a gruelling fitness regime.
And, to prove how hard she's working, Lauren Goodger shared fresh gym footage with her Instagram fans on Tuesday.
The ex-TOWIE star, 31, provided an eyebrow-raising display as she worked-up a sweat in her exercise gear.
Seen performing heavy-duty squats with a pair of weights, she left little to the imagination with her bootylicious clip.
Specifically, viewers could see the ex-girlfriend of Mark Wright bend over in the mirror while the camera scanned her body.
With her hair tied up into a practical bun, there was nothing obscuring the view of her shape, which is now one stone lighter since she embarked on her image overhaul.
Not that it's all been down to hard work, of course.
Earlier this year, Lauren admitted to having some help achieve her body goals from the Elite Cosmetic Surgery clinic.
"I'm very happy with my body so far so please ignore the distorted pap pics," she wrote in the caption alongside self-filmed footage of her backside - prompting speculation that she's had a bum lift.
Either way, she looks much better than when she first appeared in TOWIE. And her image seems destined to continue improving.
Her latest clip comes shortly after she shared another video of herself working out, last week.
Also showing her hitting the gym, she captioned it: "Been working hard last week with @glam_physiques .
"This was the end of my hour work out and the last moves and my body was tired but my mind can push through anything."

On six years
On Friday night Brendan and I celebrated our six year anniversary, I kept thinking that it didn't feel like six years but when I look back we were just babes when we started going out at 19. It was really nice to go out for dinner and realise how far we had come and all the things we still have to come.
Your early twenties is such a hard time - your growing up, figuring out who you are and where you want to go in this life. Sometimes it can be hard enough doing that by yourself but even harder when you have to take into account someone else. We have grown so much and we have grown together, which has been trying at times but at the end of the day it has made our relationship exactly how it is and that relationship is pretty darn good.
I read something on facebook the other day that the only time you can change a person is when they are in diapers and I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement - it is the biggest thing I have learnt over the last six years. Being together isn't about changing one another - (even though it drives me insane when the clothes are scattered around the clothes basket but seem to magically never make it into the basket) its about accepting the person as they are and loving them for being that exact person, for realising people make mistakes and no one is perfect.
I feel pretty lucky to have someone who loves me warts and all (trust me there are lots of warts...metaphorical warts....) and I really cant wait for the next six year (or hopefully sixty).
Ps Claire wrote a fantastically honest post on relationships last week - check it out here.

Bahaha, I was like "OMG she just admitted she had warts!" But then I kept reading and I laughed so hard at myself. This was a sweet post and congrats to the both of you for hitting 6 years. I wish you two the best!ReplyDelete
Congratulations for you two! This was so lovely, I met my boyfriend when we were 18, we are almost 22 now and we've been together since we were 19 just like you. And I can totally relate to the growing up part, it can be tough sometimes, but it's totally worth it. In these three years we've grown up a lot with each other.ReplyDelete
It really is all about acceptance and loving the other person and keeping always in mind that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, just like you wrote! xxx
Congratulations to you both Megan. I wish you both many years to come, past 60, until you start using a walking stick ;)ReplyDelete
I met my boyfriend when i was 17 but refused to date him until i was 23. He was patient to wait all those years so i guess i should try and be nicer lol

You're so sweet for linking to that post. :) I have LOVED reading everyone's comments on that post--so liberating to talk openly about the ups and downs of relationships! Congrats on celebrating 6 years with Brendan--what a long time! I'm wishing you many many more. xoxoxoReplyDelete
Congratulations! I can't wait to that time when were looking back after 6 years! I can only imagine the differences between now and then!ReplyDelete
This is such a great post! I know that I was no where near ready to be in a relationship when I was 19! So I so admire that you were mature enough to handle it!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! So much happiness on your behalf :) M and I are about to celebrate 4 years, which still feels like an incredibly long time to me. I was 20 when we started dating, so even though he was 24, I can relate a little to this post. We have both definitely changed over the years, but somehow we've managed to make it work and I'm so happy we have. I hope you have another 60 years of happiness together :)ReplyDelete
Happy Six Years to you and Brendan!!! I can't imagine being with the person I was at 19... because you're right, you're learning so much. It just shows you and Brendan are meant to be <3ReplyDelete
ps I read your comment on Claire's post (you're right, such a good one!) and your comment was my favorite. It was honest and sweet. It was perfect.
Glad I have stumbled across your blog :) My boyfriend and I just celebrated our eight year anniversary and I couldn't help but giggle about your comment about the clothes basket. Exactly the same here! I absolutely agree with you about learning to accept the one you love for what they are and not trying to change them. That's something I've had to taken on board too and it's not easy, but everything is great now. Happy anniversary to you! Looking forward to following your blog xxReplyDelete
Congratulations! You guys are super cute.ReplyDelete

Brinks Company : Cramer likes this company's stock buyback program, but there's no momentum behind the earnings. So BCO is a "don't buy" for now.
Alcoa : Cramer doesn't think Alcoa's dividend is safe, so he can't recommend the stock right now. Plus, he thinks there are better minerals/metals companies worth owning.
Activision Blizzard : Sell, sell, sell, Cramer said of this games maker. He doesn't think this group is worth an investment right now.

" The wars of steel and magic has begun."
Welcome to the online space of A.J. Antony
There are three things you must know about him:
- He writes fantasy for the adventurous heart
- There is no 'H' in Antony
- He loves his readers
In fact, he loves his readers so much he's made a VIP List for them!
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
-Albert Einstein
As a child, A.J. Antony had read too much of tales that involved dragons, fairies, monsters, detectives, and murders. His favorite had always been the fantasy type: knightly adventures and compelling page-turners. Now, he shares his Otherworldly tales with the world, starting with the Jackson Kross series.
Please Note:
A few of my readers had asked me to release my books in iBooks and Kobo because they don't own a Kindle device to read my books. I have good news and bad news for you.
The bad news: My books, for the time being, are available only at Amazon. I'm under a contract with Amazon that doesn't met me publish in other platforms.
The good news is, you don't actually need a Kindle reader to read my books. The (Free) Kindle App works on almost all devices that I know of.

Filed under: Green Building, News | Tags: Baltimore Miller's Court, EPA, National Award For Smart Growth Achievement
Baltimore's Miller's Court Wins One Of 5 National Awards From The EPA
From the EPA:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized five projects with the 2010 National Award for Smart Growth Achievement for their comprehensive approach to improving quality of life. The projects make cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians and bicyclists, manage growth to ensure long-term prosperity and health, and revitalize existing neighborhoods to provide new opportunities.
The recipients of the 2010 National Award for Smart Growth Achievement are:
· Overall Excellence: Smart.Growth@NYC, New York, New York
PlaNYC 2030, New York City's blueprint for planning future growth, provided the inspiration for multi-agency coordination on innovative policies and projects to improve the quality of life in the city. PlaNYC prepares for more population while adding small public spaces throughout the city, improving air and water quality, and improving public health with better access to fresh food and more options for walking and biking.
· Smart Growth and Green Building: Miller's Court, Baltimore, Maryland
Miller's Court, a renovated tin can factory, offers new housing and commercial space in the center of a neighborhood that is gaining new life as a thriving, convenient urban setting. The project has spurred new economic activity nearby, from a small boutique bakery to a 200,000-square-foot retail and office development.
· Policies, Programs, and Regulations: 2040 Growth Concept, Portland Metro, Oregon
Metro, the elected regional government of the Portland, Oregon, area, is making sure that future population growth can be accommodated through its "Making the Greatest Place" effort. Building on the 2040 Growth Concept, this effort helps protect current and future residents' quality of life by providing access to transportation choices, investing in compact communities, and preserving farms and forests.
· Rural Smart Growth: The Gateway 1 Corridor Action Plan, Maine
The Gateway 1 Corridor Action Plan covers a 100-mile stretch of Maine's central coast along U.S. Route 1, from Brunswick to Stockton Springs. The collective effort by 20 towns to protect rural and scenic resources is a noteworthy achievement to preserve the environment and strengthen the economy along this regionally significant corridor.
· Civic Places: Mint Plaza, San Francisco, California
Mint Plaza, in downtown San Francisco, is a formerly dilapidated city-owned alley converted into a public plaza and festival space with an innovative stormwater system. The project's contemporary design respects its historic context while also providing a flexible public space for the surrounding neighborhood that brings people together.
These award winners embody the principles behind EPA's work with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Partnership for Sustainable Communities. The agencies are improving access to affordable housing and providing more transportation options and lower transportation costs while protecting the environment. By investing in existing communities and valuing the unique assets found in rural, suburban and urban settings, they are also finding ways to spur new economic development and opportunity.
EPA created the National Award for Smart Growth Achievement in 2002 to recognize exceptional approaches to development that protect the environment, foster economic vitality, and enhance quality of life. The agency's Smart Growth Program helps America's communities turn their visions of the future into reality through research, tools, partnerships, case studies, grants, and technical assistance.

For more from the NIV Application Commentary on the Old Testament, see here.
How can you apply what you learned about Creation, the fall of man, or the nation of Israel to our present day needs? How can you take a message originally spoken in Hebrew and communicate it clearly in our own language? How can you take the eternal truths originally spoken in a different time and culture and apply them to the similar-yet-different needs of our culture? The NIV Application Commentary: Old Testament (14 vols.) shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant, but also how it speaks powerfully today.
This award-winning series helps you understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its original context. All the elements of traditional exegesis—in concise form—are discussed. But the authors don't stop there—they bridge the gap between the world of the Bible and the world of today, between the original context and the contemporary context, by focusing on both the timely and timeless aspects of the text. The authors dwell on the contemporary significance of the Bible by focusing on contemporary contexts in which the Bible can be applied today. The NIV Application Commentary discusses the Bible in a way that engages contemporary life and culture.
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable—but the job is only half done!
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it speaks powerfully today.
The NIV Application Commentary series doesn't fool around. It gets right down to business, bringing this ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and delivered with all the freshness of a new day, with all the immediacy of a friend's embrace.
—Eugene H. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College
It is encouraging to find a commentary that is not only biblically trustworthy but also contemporary in its application. The NIV Application Commentary will prove to be a helpful tool in the pastor's sermon preparation. I use it and recommend it.
—Charles F. Stanley, Founder and President, In Touch Ministries
The NIV Application Commentary series promises to be of very great service to all who preach and teach the Word of God.
—J. I. Packer,, Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College
This series promises to become an indispensable tool for every pastor and teacher who seeks to make the Bible's timeless message speak to this generation.
—Billy Graham, American Evangelist
The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing 'doers of the Word.'
—Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Valley Community Church
If you want to avoid hanging applicational elephants from interpretive threads, then the NIV Application Commentary is for you! This series excels at both original meaning and contemporary significance. I support it one hundred percent.
—Howard G. Hendricks, Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary
The NIV Application Commentary will be a great help for leaders who want to understand what the Bible means, how it applies, and what they should do in response.
—Stuart Briscoe, Pastor, Elmbrook Church
This is the pulpit commentary for the twenty-first century.
—George K. Brushaber, former President, Bethel College and Seminary
The NIV Application Commentary builds bridges that make the Bible come alive with meaning for contemporary life.
—Warren W. Wiersbe, General Director, Back to the Bible
The NIV Application Commentary meets the urgent need for an exhaustive and authoritative commentary based on the New International Version. This series will soon be found in libraries and studies throughout the evangelical community.
—D. James Kennedy, Founder, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church
The NIV Application Commentary series helps pastors and other Bible teachers with one of the most neglected elements in good preaching—accurate, useful application. Most commentaries tell you a few things that are helpful and much that you do not need to know. By dealing with the original meaning and contemporary significance of each passage, the NIV Application Commentary series promises to be helpful all the way around.
—James Montgomery Boice, former Pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church
Here, at last, is a commentary that makes the proper circuit from the biblical world to Main Street. The NIV Application Commentary is a magnificent gift to the church!
—R. Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, IL
This series dares to go where few scholars have gone before—into the real world of biblical application faced by pastors and teachers every day. This is everything a good commentary series should be.
—Leith Anderson, President, National Association of Evangelicals
Here at last is a commentary which is not only academically well informed but which helps the contemporary reader hear God's Word and consider its implications: scholarship in the service of the Church.
—Arthur Rowe, Tutor in New Testament and World Religions, Spurgeon's College
The tools, ideas, and insights contained in these volumes will help preachers communicate God's Word and understand the Old Testament in the context of contemporary culture, and the exegetical, literary, and grammatical summaries will benefit scholars and students of the Bible. What's more, with Logos, Scripture passages are linked to Hebrew texts, along with English translations, and the powerful search tools provide instant access to the information you need for research projects, sermon preparation, and personal study.
The Bible begins and ends with a revelation of God that gives redemption its basis. From the first verse of Genesis, the book of origins, we encounter a God of personality, character, purpose, and activity. Only in the light of what He shows us of Himself as the Creator of our world and the Interactor with human history does the salvation story assume its proper context. Genesis sets things in order: God first, then us.
In the words of the general editor's preface, "Especially after the Tower of Babel it became evident that people had forgotten who God was. They needed reminding. The moves God made were essentially concerned with putting himself in front of the world's peoples." Today, perhaps more than ever, we need God to put himself in front of us—to remind us who He is, and that He is.
With characteristic creativity and uncommon depth, John H. Walton demonstrates the timeless relevance of Genesis. Revealing the links between Genesis and our own times, Dr. Walton shows how this mysterious, often baffling book filled with obscure peoples and practices reveals truth to guide our twenty-first-century lives.
John H. Walton (PhD, Hebrew Union College) is Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College Graduate School. He is the author or coauthor of several books, including Chronological and Background Charts of the Old Testament, Ancient Israelite Literature in Its Cultural Context, Covenant: God's Purpose, God's Plan, The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament, and A Survey of the Old Testament.
Exodus helps readers learn how the message of Exodus can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written.
Dr. Peter E. Enns is a Reformed Evangelical Christian and a biblical scholar. He is a frequent contributor to journals and encyclopedias, and the author of several books, including Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament.
The books of Leviticus and Numbers spell out God's legal requirements for ancient Israel. But that was over three millennia ago. Now that we're under a new covenant of grace, how do strange laws and obscure, seemingly trifling details regarding everything from temple sacrifice to household mold have any bearing on us today? If the Law was perfectly fulfilled in Jesus, why bother studying arcane regulations that no longer apply?
Because they do apply. Their original contexts may have disappeared, but the principles behind them are fraught with relevance. Moreover, in our individualistic—and selfish—culture, they restore to us a God's eye vision that extends beyond ourselves to the church as community.
Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Roy Gane shares perspectives on Leviticus and Numbers that reveal their enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives.
Roy Gane (PhD, University of California, Berkeley) is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages at the Theological Seminary of Andrews University. He is author of a number of scholarly articles and several books including God's Faulty Heroes, Altar Call, Ritual Dynamic Structure, and Cult and Character: Purification Offerings, Day of Atonement, and Theodicy, as well as the Leviticus portion of the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary on the Old Testament.
The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church today. At its heart, Deuteronomy records the covenantal relationship between God and his people. God graciously has chosen Israel as his covenant partner and has demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by demonstrating unwavering loyalty and total love for him through obedience.
Daniel Block highlights the unity between the God depicted in Deuteronomy and Jesus Christ. Christians who understand the covenantal character of God and who live under the grace of Christ will resist the temptation to retreat into interior and subjective understandings of the life of faith so common in Western Christianity.
Daniel I. Block received his PhD from the University of Liverpool, and is the Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College. He is the author of The New Ammerican Commentary: Judges, Ruth, and was a speaker at the Pastorum Live 2012 Conference.
Reading Joshua can be, frankly, a jarring experience. Serious, troubling questions about God's attitude toward his created peoples arise, questions with no easy answer. But the book of Joshua presents itself, warts (and wars!) and all, and asks readers to let it tell its story from its point of view and out of its ancient context. It asks them to give it the benefit of the doubt and permit it to speak to them.
This commentary aims to give its voice a clear hearing—to translate its ancient cultural form in such a way that it freely speaks about the life of faith today. Basically, the book of Joshua tells how biblical Israel navigated a major historical transition early in its national life. The book shows that guiding these changes is Israel's God, Yahweh, through his chosen servant, Joshua. The introductory sections to follow set the scene for entering the book of Joshua and the ancient world about which it reports. Joshua helps readers learn how the message of Joshua can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written.
Robert L. Hubbard Jr. (PhD, Claremont Graduate School) is Professor of Biblical Literature at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL. He also taught at Denver Seminary and served as a chaplain on active duty in the United States Navy and in the United States Naval Reserve. Dr. Hubbard is author of The Book of Ruth: New International Commentary on the Old Testament, which received the Christianity Today Critics Choice Award as the best commentary of 1989. He co-authored Introduction to Biblical Interpretation, with William Klein and Craig Blomberg, and is currently writing commentaries on Esther and Lamentations for the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, a series on which he serves as General Editor.
The concept of judgment is at odds with today's culture, which considers it a sin to suggest there is such a thing as sin. Perhaps that is partly because we have seen all too clearly the fallibility of those who judge. What many of us long for is not judgment but righteousness and deliverance from oppression. That is why the books of Judges and Ruth are so relevant today: Judges, because it reveals a God who employs very human deliverers but refuses to gloss over their sins and the consequences of those sins; and Ruth, because it demonstrates the far-reaching impact of a righteous character. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Dr. K. Lawson Younger Jr. shares literary perspectives on the books of Judges and Ruth that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
K. Lawson Younger Jr. (PhD, University of Sheffield) is Professor of Old Testament, Semitic Languages, and Ancient Near Eastern History at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. He is the author, associate editor, and coeditor of several books, and has contributed to numerous collections of essays, dictionaries, and periodicals.
Why do the books of Samuel pack such broad appeal? Taken together as a single narrative, they certainly offer something for everyone: kings and prophets, great battles and greater heroes, action and romance, loyalty and betrayal, the mundane and the miraculous. In Samuel, we meet Saul, David, Goliath, Jonathan, Bathsheba, the witch of Endor, and other unforgettable characters. And we encounter ourselves. For while the culture and conditions of Israel under its first kings is vastly different from our own, the basic issues of humans in relation to God, the Great King, have not changed. Sin, repentance, forgiveness, adversity, prayer, faith, and the promises of God—these continue to play out in our lives today.
Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Bill T. Arnold shares perspectives on 1 and 2 Samuel that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
Bill T. Arnold (PhD, Hebrew Union College) is Director of Hebrew Studies and Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He is the author of Encountering the Book of Genesis, and coauthor of Encountering the Old Testament and A Guide to Biblical Hebrew Syntax.
Readers of 1 and 2 Kings commonly approach these books as a straightforward chronology of post-Davidic Israel: the inauguration of Solomon's reign, the division of the kingdom following his death, and Israel's and Judah's ensuing kings, conflicts, captivities, and overarching spiritual decline.
In reality, however, the books of the Kings fall into the collection known as the Former Prophets, and their true story and underlying theme center on such striking personalities as Nathan, Elijah, Elisha, and other divinely appointed spokesmen. It is God's interaction with his people by way of his prophets and their kings—his pleadings, his warnings, and the fulfillment of his words—that comes across again and again with forcefulness and clarity. God speaks; now will his people hear, believe, and respond?
The question is as relevant for us today as it was for the ancient Israelites. Bridging the centuries, August Konkel connects past context to contemporary circumstances, helping us grasp the meaning and significance of 1 and 2 Kings and take to heart their message for us today.
A. H. Konkel is President of Providence College and Seminary in Otterburne, Manitoba. He obtained the PhD degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1987. He served as a translator for the book of Job in the New Living Translation, and completed a commentary on Job for the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary. He was a contributor to the New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology and Exegesis.
The Chronicles are more than a history of ancient Israel under the ascent and rule of the Davidic dynasty. They are a story whose grand theme is hope. Great battles are fought, heroes and tyrants vie for power, Israel splits into rival kingdoms, and the soul of God's holy nation oscillates between faithlessness and revival. Yet above this tossing sea of human events, God's covenant promises reign untroubled and supreme. First and Second Chronicles are a narrative steeped in the best and worst of the human heart—but they are also a revelation of Yahweh at work, forwarding his purposes in the midst of fallible people. God has a plan to which he is committed.
Today, as then, God redirects our vision from our circumstances in this turbulent world to the surety of his kingdom, and to himself as our source of confidence and peace. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Andrew E. Hill shares perspectives on 1 and 2 Chronicles that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
Andrew E. Hill (PhD, University of Michigan) is Professor of Old Testament Studies at Wheaton College in IL. He is the coauthor with John Walton of A Survey of the Old Testament and the author of Malachi in the Anchor Yale Bible commentary series. His articles have appeared in such scholarly publications as Hebrew Annual Review, Journal of Biblical Literature, and Vetus Testamentum.
Queen Esther faced and helped avert the potential genocide of her people. She rose to the top of political power without any of the advantages of aristocratic birth, well-placed friends, inherited wealth, or social prestige.
Yet the book of Esther's real story is not found in political intrigue or superior management ideals. It is that God is at the center of it, despite the fact that God is not mentioned anywhere in the book. The great lesson to be learned is that God keeps his promises.
This commentary shows how Esther is perfect guidance for us when we find ourselves in a situation where right and wrong are not so clearly defined and every choice we have seems to be a troubling mixture of good and bad. It is perfect inspiration for us when we find ourselves in situations we never sought, never planned for, and don't think we have the gifts to succeed at.
Karen H. Jobes is Gerald F. Hawthorne Professor of New Testament Greek and Exegesis at Wheaton College. She is the author of many articles and several books, including Letters to the Church: A Survey of Hebrews and the General Epistles and 1 Peter in the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament.
The title character of the book of Job suffers terribly, but we should not mistakenly think that this book is just about Job. It is about all of us, and ultimately about God.
Many have thought that the book simply restates the perennial questions that plague humankind in a world full of suffering. But often our questions are too limited, and we must learn to ask better questions so that we might find more significant answers. The book of Job answers our original questions obliquely, letting these answers prompt deeper questions, and leading us to discover the wealth that the book has to offer.
A lot of people assume that the book of Job deals with the question of why righteous people suffer. Instead, John Walton suggests that the book is about the nature of righteousness—not the nature of suffering. As we learn to deepen our questions, God will transform how we think about his work in the world and about our responses in times of suffering.
John H. Walton received his PhD from Hebrew Union College and is professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College Graduate School. Before teaching at Wheaton, Walton taught at Moody Bible Institute for 20 years. He is the author or co-author of several books, including Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary: Old Testament, Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament, The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament, and A Survey of the Old Testament. He was also a speaker at the Pastorum Live 2012 Conference.
Perhaps more clearly than any other part of the biblical canon, the Psalms are human words directed to God. Yet, through the Holy Spirit, these honest, sometimes brutal words return to us as the Word of God. Their agonies and exaltations reflect more than the human condition in which they were created. Within the context of the canonical Psalter, they become the source of divine guidance, challenge, confrontation, and comfort. However, it is possible to misapply them. How can we use the Psalms in a way that faithfully connects God's meaning in them and his intentions for them with our circumstances today?
Drawing on over twenty years of study in the book of Psalms, Dr. Gerald H. Wilson reveals the links between the Bible and our present times. While he considers each psalm in itself, Wilson goes much further, examining whole groups of psalms and, ultimately, the entire Psalter, its purpose, and its use from the days of Hebrew temple worship onward through church history. In so doing, Wilson opens our eyes to ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
Gerald H. Wilson (PhD, Yale University) was Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Hebrew at Azusa Pacific University. He wrote The Editing of the Hebrew Psalter and has written numerous articles for journals, encyclopedias, and reviews.
What is wisdom? Does occupying the top of life's heap mean you have it? Does being near the bottom mean you don't? Wisdom can certainly help you acquire wealth, influence people, or succeed at your career, yet it involves more than knowledge alone. It's also a matter of understanding God's perspectives in applying what you know and having the character to act accordingly. That is why true wisdom—the kind that begins with fear of the Lord—frequently runs counter to what our culture values and applauds. This is the wisdom the book of Proverbs teaches.
Proverbs deals with the relationship between heaven and earth on a practical level that covers the broad swath of human activity. We could all use more wisdom in our lives; the book of Proverbs was designed to guide us into it. Proverbs is far from monolithic. It has multiple authors and employs diverse styles. But its goal remains simple: to equip us for living in a way that succeeds first and foremost in God's eyes. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Paul Koptak shares perspectives on Proverbs that reveal ageless truths for our twenty-first-century lives.
Paul E. Koptak (PhD, Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary/Northwestern University) is Paul and Bernice Brandel Professor of Communication and Biblical Interpretation at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL.
Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs don't easily fit our preconceptions as Christians. How do we reconcile Ecclesiastes' seemingly hedonistic passages and its broodings on life's futility with Christ's call to self-denial and his revelation of God's profound purpose for our lives? Is the Song of Songs a frank-to-the-point-of-disturbing depiction of erotic love, or is it rather a loose-fitting spiritual allegory for Christ's relationship with the church? Must we choose between the one interpretation and the other?
Most important, what wisdom can these ancient books of the Bible offer us for living out our faith today with integrity, fervor, balance, and devotion?
Revealing the links between the Scriptures and our own times, Ian Provan shows how the wisdom books of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs speak to us today with relevance and conviction.
Iain Provan (PhD, Cambridge University) is Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College. An ordained minister of the Church of Scotland, he is the author of commentaries on Lamentations and 1 and 2 Kings.

Andrea Mitchell reveals breast cancer, tells women to be screened
(CBS) Andrea Mitchell has breast cancer. The veteran NBC correspondent made that jarring revelation on the air Wednesday, saying the malignancy hadn't spread and that her prognosis was excellent.
PICTURES - 8 mammogram truths every woman must know
"I had planned to be hiking in Wyoming last week but instead discovered that I am among the one in eight women in the country - incredibly, one in eight - who have had breast cancer," she said during her MSNBC show, "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
Mitchell, 64, said her cancer had been detected during routine screening, and urged women to get screened.
"Screening works," she said. "Do it."
But does it really? The effectiveness of mammography has been called into doubt by recent research. A 2010 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that a nationwide screening program was only marginally effective.
"We conclude that our results supported the evidence that screening mammography reduces the rate of death from breast cancer," the authors concluded. "However, the magnitude of this benefit seems modest."
What does the American Cancer Society say? It says women should have an annual screening mammogram and continue to do so as long as they are in good health. In addition, the society says, women in their twenties and thirties should have doctor examine their breasts at least every three years - and women age 40 or older should have such an exam every year.
The society calls breast self-exams "an option" for women starting in their twenties, saying the exams have been shown to play a small role in finding breast cancer.
Mitchell said she was back at work but gave no details on her treatment. Like many breast cancer patients, she may be in for a long hike - just not the sort of hike she had been planning.
The American Cancer Society has more on breast cancer.
