Ah, the concepts of sin and good guitar playing: two of my favorite subjects, and a truly iconic duo. Sin and guitarists go together like whiskey and ice, Gibson and Marshall, American blues and the Devil, et al. They've had a long, prosperous marriage, and while they can be great fun individually, they're especially exquisite together.
But, we ain't talking about Keith Richards or Robert Johnson here. Nope. Our purpose is to examine and avoid another kind of sin, relating to our guitar playing, specifically … and I don't recommend indulging in this group.
There are 7 Deadly Sins to avoid as a guitarist, and you give in to them at your own peril.
If you don't want to suffer an eternity of torment (or suffer for as long as your guitar playing journey lasts, anyway), then heed these words and get hip. After all, there are much better ways of inflicting torture with wood and wire than by trying to bang out single notes and chords over and over again.
Agreed? Good.
Let's begin the sermon.
1. Lack of Fundamental Awareness
We must develop a degree of fundamental awareness with regard to our playing, or we'll be spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast. Fundamental awareness basically means knowing the instrument, and having an innate sense of what we're doing and why.
This includes developing our sense of touch, developing our ear, developing skills of visualization and other "mental" functions using the imagination and "mind's eye", and generally fostering a sort of sixth-sense about our overall playing and the process.
We go into greater detail when cultivating these skills in the "Blind Swordsman" facet(s) of the Guitar Antihero trainings, but ultimately, you have to make friends with the instrument. Know it, understand it, understand what it can and will (and won't) do for you … and also, what you can, will, and won't do with it.
Don't just pick it up, plunk around without paying attention to what's going on, then put it back down again. That becomes habit more easily than conscious, focused attention/awareness, and the habit's usually much harder to get rid of later. Start with cultivating awareness, and let the rest follow.
2. Neglecting Good Battle Plans
While fundamental awareness is crucial, it lacks effectiveness without direction. Just being aware will only get us so far without a sense of where we're going, and a solid plan to get there.
The creative process is inherently chaotic, but we seek to control the chaos as much as possible: this is where and why a Battle Plan becomes so vital to conquering our objectives.
Legendary leaders/teachers like Alexander the Great and Paul Gilbert leave little to chance.
Whether they're military or musical strategists doesn't really matter here, because the underlying methodology is essentially the same: King Alexander didn't battle the Persian Empire unprepared, and world-class guitar monsters like Paul Gilbert spend time marshalling their relevant forces for a practice, performance, or writing situation.
Prepare and expect to win.
You can learn more about developing winning Battle Plans here.
3. Playing the Short Game
If we're going to be in it to win it, we have to play a Long Game. Yes, great guitar playing takes a long time. No, that doesn't mean you can't do something significant in a short amount of time … but, it does mean that real, lasting results and the understanding thereof don't come overnight.
Virtually nothing worth doing happens quickly, and we must invest in ourselves and seek long-term results here. Learning a handful of songs is fine, but what good are they to you, aside from being able to play a handful of songs?
You might nail a cool rendition of "Crazy Train", but the world has already had Randy Rhoads, and we want to know what you are going to do. Besides, the goal of being like someone else can only lead to becoming an imitation at best, and we seek greater authenticity in our playing and lives.
Stylistic development and finding your own voice is a Long Game. Real guitar playing is a Long Game. Short Game is fine (and necessary) for some things, but be sure you're able to see things from a 20,000 foot view, instead of the shortsightedness most guitarists are plagued with.
This video goes deeper into the Long Game of real guitar playing.
In the meantime, learn to see farther and think bigger.
4. Relying on Monkey Method as a Foundation
Like the Short Game, Monkey Method is sometimes needed, but it's a terrible foundation on which to build your guitar playing empire. If you don't know what I mean by "Monkey Method" … and if you've been following along, you should, because I rant about it in video, writing, audio, and in person … Monkey Method simply means learning to play like someone teaching a monkey how to make sounds on a guitar.
Put your fingers here and hit these strings. Wow! Now you're playing the guitar! Holy fuck! Here's your banana or whatever, and you'll get some peanuts if you move your fingers here and hit these strings. Isn't that great?
No, it's not. It sucks.
What's worse, it's the way most people teach and learn to play.
Simple repetition and producing somewhat accurate sounds do not a real guitarist make, and this approach can only produce Short Game results, at best. There's no real room for expansion beyond the Short Game, because 1) the player is likely unaware of the Long Game, and 2) the requisite skills and abilities needed for the Long Game aren't present.
To be clear, some things like technical development require a certain amount of what we'd consider Monkey Method, but with an important twist: the aforementioned awareness and attention are factored into repetitive practice, which produces far better results than just moving around the neck and whacking the strings someone told us to hit.
Relying on Monkey Method also means we're increasingly dependent upon other people to get anywhere with our playing, and that, of course, is the opposite of a rugged, results-oriented system that commands respect.
Unless you like the idea of being spoon-fed information by someone who may or may not know what the fuck they're doing and might not have a Long Game view, and barring a Planet of the Apes scenario in the near future, you're better served by modeling Prometheus (the Titan, not the movie) than Curious George.
Leave the musical monkeys to the organ grinders.
5. Valuing Specific Techniques over Concepts
This is all too common, and it's a direct outcome of using the Monkey Method to play the Short Game. Technique and specific "techniques" are obviously important, as they're ultimately what allow us to physically play what we want, but they're not the end goal.
Rather, our technique and guitar-specific techniques are tools for the job of better guitar playing, much like the guitar is a tool for the job of greater personal power through the development of our Creative Character.
Look, I get it: it's easy to become obsessed with technical proficiency, and I've been there myself. It's easy to obsess over the particulars of a given technique, and want to focus all our time and effort on the perfection thereof.
But, since I've been there myself, I can tell you it's not the way to go.
Let's look at sweep picking, which is a good example here, and the cause of much obsession. Sweeping with arpeggios can be a great technique, but it's only a technique, not the thing-in-itself (or, the Ding an sich for you Kant fans out there).
Taking things a step further, the hypothetical arpeggio isn't the thing-in-itself either, and neither is the musical result of playing such. Again, we must look at the bigger picture here: the musical result is an attempt to quantify something greater, deeper, and mostly ungraspable that manifests itself now and again through our Creative Power and in our Creative Character.
It's not about the music, it's not about the musical components, and it sure as hell isn't about the specific techniques used to produce those components. Instead, it's really about that inherent, unnameable, "thing" of the Promethean Spark that we guitarists choose to partially express musically.
And, we can only express this partially, as we're limited by what we can know, sense, and do at any given time: we do the best we're able to catch a bit of that ever-fleeting, yet ever-present phenomenon that's so impossible to pin down.
So, while techniques are certainly necessary, they're not the end goal, and therefore shouldn't be given that place of importance. You may well need a hammer to build a house, but the point of using one is what that house will produce and provide, not to obsess over swinging and hitting things in the process of building.
6. Laziness
It's no surprise the "sin" of Sloth appears on the Catholic list of the 7 Deadlies as well (that list came before this one, for those who didn't know), and with good reason. Nothing of any importance will get done if we're physically, mentally, and otherwise lazy (i.e.: slothful). Not a damn thing.
This shouldn't need to be said, but apparently, a good percentage of guitarists think they'll get better by just thinking about playing (or not thinking about it, whichever it is).
You have to fucking do something, and it has to be more than just the bare minimum required for participation.
Remember how we talked about real guitar playing being a Long Game? Remember how we talked about not just relying on the Monkey Method approach? Remember the bit about cultivating awareness and developing good Battle Plans?
Yeah, all that stuff.
Guess what? All that stuff takes real work, and it usually ain't pretty.
You can't be afraid to get your hands dirty, metaphorically and maybe even literally, if you really want to do and be something as a guitarist. There's no way around that.
Proponents of Victim Virtue can cry and wail, but there are no participation trophies here. Nobody gives a damn that you own a guitar and maybe pick it up now and again. You certainly won't ever use your playing as a vehicle for greater Authority and Power in your own life by half-assing things.
There is no place for that mentality in the Guitar Antihero ethos, and the real world outside of what we do here doesn't care, either. We don't live in a "fair" universe, and we have to develop ourselves and take our opportunities when they present themselves, which is usually after we've made them for ourselves.
We're in the business of eliciting real, positive change and development in our playing and lives here, and Passive Mediocrity loses to Aggressive Mastery every single time. If you've been lazy (and we all have been at some point), it's time to kick it in the ass and ramp things up a few notches.
Ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing, if you're doing anything at all. If you don't like the answers, change things. You might either quit altogether, or redirect your course of action. Whichever you choose, you're going to live with the results.
Which brings us to our last, and possibly most important Deadly Sin …
7. Lack of Purpose
Everything we do should stem from a clearly-defined purpose. All action should be purpose-driven, and all of our creative efforts should align with our sense of purpose.
This purpose will be different for everyone, and there isn't a "wrong" answer here. It's intrinsically tied to our beliefs; our physical, emotional, and mental composition; our preferences, and our overall Creative Character.
It's also related to that inherent, unnameable "thing" we talked about before; that "thing" of which we catch the occasional creative or inspirational and aspirational glimpse.
If your creative efforts, guitar-specific or otherwise, are properly aligned with your purpose for pursuing them, your results will always be better than not. Period. I normally hesitate to use words like "always" and "never" as qualifiers, but I think "always" is suitable in this case.
When we're disjointed, conflicted, or otherwise in disarray within ourselves and regarding our behavior, our results suffer. This is true of anything, and good guitar playing isn't exempt from this premise.
By contrast, when the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves are in alignment with one another, our results flourish. I say "aspects of", and not "selves", as they're all part of the greater whole, not separate phenomena or manifestations: this also explains why things don't work so well when we're feeling out of whack.
Lack of purpose leads to lack of definition, which leads to greater uncertainty and confusion. This is where things get pretty hazy, as unclear vision is scarcely different from no vision at all.
The ability to see things clearly helps recognize and develop authenticity, which leads to personal Authority and Power: to me, this is best illustrated in the Daoist concept of "De" (Power/Virtue), and it allows us to do, be, and have more of what we want in the world.
Living in authenticity and Authority means living with purpose … why would our guitar playing not also benefit from this?
If you don't know why you're doing something, you'll not know what you're doing, or when you've done it. Also, if your purpose isn't strong, or if it's misaligned, you'll lack the necessary fuel to keep moving and complete the job.
Only you can determine your purpose as a guitarist, and remember, it's yours and for your direct benefit. Anything else will likely mean you fall short of your goal, and will leave you spinning aimlessly on the hamster wheel of creativity and life.
Well, that wraps up our list of the 7 Deadlies, and I hope you've given consideration to where you might be missing the mark in your own playing, and how to correct those areas and keep moving forward. This is up to you, and while people like me can help, you're the one whose going to do the work.
Like the Buddha said "Work out your own salvation." Or something along those lines.
Onward and upward.
P.S. – If you're interested in repenting for any of the above "sins", or if you're on the right track and want to boost your results, you can find the currently available trainings at the Antihero Academy here.

After more than a decade and a half of planning and controversy, work began Thursday on the long-stalled, $150 million memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower with a groundbreaking at the four-acre site in Washington DC.
The memorial to the former president and World War II general will be built on Independence Avenue at the base of Capitol Hill in front of the Department of Education Building and close to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
Construction is expected to last about three years. "Dedication of the memorial is envisioned for the 75th Anniversary of V-E Day, May 8, 2020," the Eisenhower Memorial Commission said in a statement.
Members of three generations of the Eisenhower family took part in the groundbreaking, as well as members of the bipartisan Eisenhower Memorial Commission, and the memorial's designer, Frank Gehry.
Susan Eisenhower, a granddaughter who had once been a fierce critic of the Gehry design, was among the speakers.
The controversy had centered on certain aspects of the design, including the size and scope of the structure's large-scale metal tapestries. But family members lifted their objection last year, giving the project final impetus.
The tapestries remain — they had already been reduced from three sides to one — but will include a more international scene, a representation of the D-Day landing sites in Normandy, France, as they appear today, instead of the hills of Kansas. The idea was to put more emphasis on the international aspects of Eisenhower's life. The memorial, however, also includes a focus elsewhere on Kansas, Eisenhower's home state, particularly Abilene, where he grew up.
The National Capital Planning Commission and the United States Commission of Fine Arts both approved the last modifications to the design earlier this fall. The majority of the memorial's cost is to come from federal funding, though the commission is also raising private funds.
Some critics of the memorial, such as the National Civic Art Society, remain opposed to the design, which they have characterized as ugly and grandiose. But in a statement, Mr. Gehry said, "This project has been an enormous honor for me both professionally and personally." He said Eisenhower's leadership was inspiring. "He led the country with strength, but also with great humanity and humility," he said. "I hope that these values are captured in the memorial."

Collage Talent Center opens registration doors on 15 July 2018
Artists to capture emotions and values displayed by Sheikh Zayed
Collage Talent Center at Sharjah Ladies Club is calling on all female artists and photographers residing in the UAE to prime their canvases and prepare their dark rooms for the second edition of its Noon Arts Award, which this year commemorates the Year of Zayed and reflects the UAE Founding Father's values, qualities and emotions.
The award is an opportunity for all of the nation's most creative talents aged between 18 and 40 to express their interpretations of the power of internal experiences, involving mental, physiological, physical and feelings.
Shaikha Al Suwaidi, Collage Talent Center Manager, said: "Building upon the enormous popularity and success of last year's Noon Arts Award, we are confident that both the quantity and quality of the submissions will be equally as high. The outstanding artistic ability from all members of the community was exceptional and with this year's concept of expressing emotions and conveying the principles and morals shown by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan throughout his life and his impact on the birth of a nation, it is also a highly inspirational theme."
Al Suwaidi added: "As well as discovering sublime new artists and photographers, the award also encourages women across the UAE to explore their own talent and use their gift as a way of self-expression and independence."
The winners of the painting and photography Noon Artist Awards for entrants aged between 25-40 will each receive AED 10,000 and the Noon Rising Star Awards for 18-24 year-olds will be presented with AED 5,000 each. The winning artwork and photography, selected by an independent SLC jury, will be displayed from 20 to 24 November 2018 at Kunooz Events and Catering.
Established in 1982, SLC is a subsidiary of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs and is dedicated to facilitating leisure, cultural and educational activities for women and children. The club organizes an array of events that relate to society, art, health and charity with its activities including bazaars, exhibitions, sporting events and seminars.
Sharjah Ladies Club is a perfect ladies-only destination for premium entertainment facilities and services in the UAE. It boasts a wide range of world-class facilities and offers numerous high-end services and amenities, making it one of the best-of-its-kind facilities in the Middle East.

Our interview series Icebreaker features artists talking about things—some strange, some amusing, some meaningful—that just might reveal their true selves. This edition features the quizzical singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart, whose new album Ape in Pink Marble is out now via Nonesuch.
What's the best advice you've ever gotten?
My friend said this to me about four days ago: "You can either be a musician or you can wear a hat. You can't do both."
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I literally shoveled goat shit on a farm in Venezuela when I was 13, just before I moved to America. I'll never forget the burn of my nose at first. Then you adjust and keep shoveling, because *they just shit. *It was fascinating to really get into the shit. Of course, I was also covered in shit. I don't know if there's a shittier job than actually shoveling shit.
Do you have a favorite joke?
I only have one that I wrote: This incognito noodle wearing a big trench coat and hat walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Can I get you a drink?" And the noodle says, "No thanks, I'm soba." That's original material there.
Do you think your life would be better or worse without social media?
Well, I'd have to go back to going to the post office to get my dick pics. I get a lot of dicks on Instagram, which I run myself. The last one I got was of two erect penises, and it said, "We both have boners thanks to your music, and they're touching." It was sweet.
What is the YouTube video that you've watched the most times?
The outtakes for that champagne commercial with a drunk Orson Welles—he was so wasted on set that the commercial never aired. It's him sitting there with these two actors who are really pro, and then Orson Welles is so intoxicated and could just give a shit, in the best way. It is so satisfying. It's got shelf life. You can re-watch it and see the nuances of that entire moment being captured.
What is your life motto?
Never be prepared.
What's the last song that you've heard that made you believe in the power of music?
"Maki Madni" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Who would you want to play you in a film about you?
Three names come to mind: cult hero Tommy Wiseau, silver screen legend Isabella Rossellini, and French legend extraordinaire Denis Lavant. I wouldn't mind if Willem Dafoe went in there for a minute. And maybe the robot from Wall-E.
What's the last thing you binge watched?
The O.J. Simpson documentary Made in America*. *Someone was like, "You have to watch this ESPN documentary," and I was like, "First off, when you say 'ESPN,' I instantly checked-out, I don't give a shit. Second: I just watched 'The People v. O.J. Simpson,' I get it." But of course I'm an idiot, and they're right, and it's fucking incredible.
What's the best concert you've ever been to?
As an adolescent I saw the Specials at the Glass House in Pomona, and that was life changing. I dressed the part—except not well, because it was a thrift suit. I looked more like David Byrne than a rudeboy; I still have a hard time finding suits that fit me. But I had my braces and I had my Docs. It was unbelievable. They were my introduction to some of my favorite music in the world. They were such a formative band.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Don't get me wrong, I like a little paranormal erotica as much as the next gal, but I think "ghost" is too general of a term. I know that there are energies that vibrate frequencies that are so subtle you could say that they exist in a different territory or realm or sphere, and people mistake these frequencies for ghosts. This happens when there's a shock to the system or a traumatic event, like the loss of a loved one. In these states, it's actually us who cross over to that domain—we're operating in such a sensitive state that we can tap into that other sphere. It's us visiting the "ghost."
What are you most self-conscious about?
Maybe that I'm smart enough to know just how stupid I am.

. . . That's how spirit works every time I find myself in a bad situation and the outcome is in my favor.
Last night, Tony and I went to the Relay for Life at Atlantic Armstrong State University. The company I'm interning at, Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union, participates in several charity events, and our team is in 3rd for money raised with this year's Relay for Life.
We left around midnight. As I was driving North on Abercorn Street at 50 mph, I began to notice a figure of a person in the middle of the street. I started slowing down as I thought he was just crossing the road.
No. The man stopped in my lane while I was still going about 37 mph, looking straight at me and pointing at me to get into the lane to my left.
I freaked out. I slammed on my breaks and swerved to my left to avoid hitting this deranged man wearing pants and a hospital gown. Then I freaked out even more as I realized I didn't look to see if there was even another car to my left before I switched lanes.
I pulled over and had Tony drive us the rest of the way home.
I thought about how lucky I was that I didn't kill this man who looked as if he just escaped from the mental ward. I thought about how lucky I was that I didn't crash into a car while trying to avoid hitting the man. I thought, that's how spirit works. Then I thought about how I'm a horrible person for not calling 911.
I didn't kill this man, but I also didn't do anything to help him. Spirit saved us all last night. Now I'm waiting to see what karma will do to me for not helping.

Local Assembly Member for Monmouth, Nick Ramsay, was delighted to be able to attend the formal opening of the new chapel at St David lewis Catholic Church, Usk yesterday morning.
Speaking after the opening Nick said: "Delighted to attend today's dedication and tour of the new St David Lewis Chapel in the presence of the Archbishop of Cardiff.
"Martyred at Usk in 1679 for the ministry as a priest, David Lewis remains a figure of enormous significance for the Catholic faith in Monmouthshire. It's fitting that his original gravestone, previously outside the church, has been moved into the new chapel."

THE SANCTUARY Unlocks Great Mysteries
In the book, "The Sanctuary Unlocks Great Mysteries" we will be looking at some of the grand doctrines of the Bible from the light of the sanctuary.
There are many Christians today who are biased with the Old Testament. They feel they are just New Testament Christians. And they try to build their entire faith from the New Testament. This is a great mistake.
The Old Testament is the foundation and the New Testament is the building. The Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles never had the New Testament to bring out the great truths to the people. They all exclusively used the Old Testament to teach the people. They built their teaching from the sacred word of the Old Testament. Along with the Old Testament, we Christians, have the benefit of the New Testament as well, the writing of the apostles. But that does not diminish the value of the Old Testament scriptures in any way.
Many Christians have gone wrong in understanding many of the vital doctrines of sacred scriptures because they have started to build it from the New Testament. And in the process, they have neglected the Old Testament teaching of it.
We need to follow the Master Teacher. He began where the Bible begins—the writings of Moses, and then He proceeded further. This was Jesus pattern: "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." Luke 24:27
In this book, "The Sanctuary Unlocks Great Mysteries" we will be looking at major doctrines from the light of the Sanctuary, from the grand subject that God gave Moses in the wilderness.

In 2005, Chevrolet was relaunched at Europe, chiefly selling vehicles assembled by GM Daewoo of South Korea with the tag line"Daewoo has risen up enough to become Chevrolet", a move suspended in General Motors' effort to construct a global brand around Chevrolet. With the re introduction of Chevrolet into Europe," GM planned Chevrolet for always a conventional price model, while GM's traditional European standard-bearers, Opel of Germany, and Vauxhall of all great britain wouldbe transferred upmarket. However, GM reversed that movement around in late 2013, announcing the new will be removed from Europe, with the exception of their Camaro and Corvette in 20-16.

Backing the Numenera Kickstarter
I backed the Numenera Kickstarter today after I had a moment of panic over breakfast that I'd missed the deadline. The kickstarter for Monte Cook's far-future science fantasy role-playing game has four days left to go, and has hit the amazing total of $338,450.
That's just … huge. The kickstarter has broken all of Monte's stretch goals and yielded an impressive line up of game materials. You can read about them on his web site. Of course, the question now becomes … can he deliver? Given his track record with Dungeons & Dragons, Arcana Unearthed, and Malhavoc Press in general, I'm confident he will. Or at least, I'm confident in the print materials. I'm not so sure about the character creator; that strikes me as being more complicated than he might originally have anticipated (just look at how long for D&D to get a worthwhile character creator).Read more

It didn't take long for Monte Cook to find something to do after his much-discussed departure from the D&D Next design team. He's launched a Kickstarter to fund Numenera, a rules-light, far future role-playing game Here's how he describes it:[…]Read more
Fantasy Flight Games Announces Star Wars RPG, Launches Beta
A year after announcing they secured the license, Fantasy Flight Games released details on their upcoming Star Wars Role-Playing Game and launched a beta test. There's not much in the way of details about how the game is played. Based[…]Read more
Deep Vistas Map Set at Kickstarter
Master mapmaker Chris West has launched a kickstarter project to fund "Deep Vistas", his latest collection of maps. These six maps are focused on underground adventuring and include: Stalactite Gate, Slave Pits, Chapel of Scarabs, Dark Elf Courtyard, Silent Garden and Chasm Bridge. They're gorgeous looking maps, and although they're obviously fantasy themed, and have a very "Vault of the Drow" feeling to them, it'd be easy enough to use them in horror or science fiction campaigns as well. There are different funding options but the best is likely the $36 for all three double-sided maps.Read more
Financial Times: Why we still love board games
The Financial Times is running an article about German/euro-style board games such as Settlers of Catan and Carcassone that covers why the games are so popular in German, how they've expanded beyond its borders to the UK and America, and the sustainability of this niche market.
It's a good read; I think there's a real concern here that the market is being over-saturated with board games, as the Germans pump out more and more new games. There's all the makings of a bubble there (and if we're talking bubbles, then it's already happened). But while the German market may be coming supersaturated, I think there's still plenty of room to grow in the United States. Heck, I think they've only barely touched on what's possible here — sure my gaming group has been playing these kinds of board games for years, but the larger population still things board game equals Monopoly or Sorry.Read more
Superhero RPGs soar into print
There's been a bunch of good news on the superhero role-playing front lately. Green Ronin has announced Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition and DC Adventures, which is a DC Comics-based superhero RPG.
The first DC Comics book, DC ADVENTURES drops in August 2010. Three subsequent books detailing heroes and villains will be released later this year and in 2011. Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition will use the same ruleset, and be released in Fall 2011.
At the same time Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion is now available in print (it had been out in PDF earlier this year).Read more

The Griffin's Crier Re-launched
The redesigned version of the Griffin's Crier, my gaming group's web site, is now up and running — you can check it out at www.griffcrier.com. The GriffCrier has been around for more than a decade; our Blackrazor Guild gaming group first launched the site in 1998 as an archive for our World of Greyhawk campaign. Over time, our gaming group's evolved and added new web apps — we now have a dedicated forum for in and out of game conversations, the archival D&D content has been moved to a Greyhawk wiki, and we've spawned several additional blogs and wikis in support of the other RPGs we play
Over time, the role of the Griffin's Crier diminished, and it was time to bring it back. Four of us are blogging now, and even more are using Twitter. We've got two campaign blogs and two corresponding wikis, all of which are producing RSS. In recent years, the home page of the Crier had been static as content was updated elsewhere; I wanted to change that by pulling in headlines from across the Blackrazor blogosphere.Read more
Exploring D&D Battlefields with Microsoft Surface
Ever since Chewbacca defeated R2-D2 in holochess, geeks have wanted a virtual table top for their games. Things have taken a major step in that direction with SurfaceScapes, a proof-of-concept app for Microsoft surface created by students at Carnegie Mellon University. It's based on the D&D 4th Edition rules, and those who've seen it are suitably impressed:
- blog.seattlepi.com: Dungeons & Dragons, Microsoft Surface are a match made in Blackmoor
- KoboldQuarterly.com: The Perfect Table: A Return to D&D SurfaceScapes
For those who haven't seen it before, Microsoft Surface is a sort of digital coffee table; it's got a large, flat touch sensitive screen (kind of like an upsized and hard-to-move iPhone. SurfaceScapes puts an interactive map on the Surface, which you can interact with by moving around specially designed miniatures. All of the rules you need to run the game (e.g. movement, powers, etc.) are built into the game, and you can interact with your character through a handheld device (e.g. an iPod touch or smart phone).Read more

Training work shop for South-Kivu CSOs on Child Protection Policy 18-21 December 2018
Through the partnership with the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFIL), the MPEDH continued its Child Protection Policy (CPP) training series in Bukavu on 18-21 December 2018. The workshop was attended by COSOC-GL member organizations and other CSOs working in the mining sector in Bukavu. The Training was held at the office of CENADEP / Kivu and moderated by Mr. Fabien Kanyangusho, Executive Director of MPEDH and provided by Mr. Bundi Bulia President of CPS / South Kivu.
While there are national and international standards for child protection, the training aimed at enabling CSOs to develop and adopt their own child protection policies as an additional governance document for each organization.
The participants obtained a template with six important components that will make it easier for them to produce a draft CPP document. A development timeline has been set and the MPEDH has committed to monitoring the delivery of the CPP document by the members of the organizations that participated in the workshop.
The next steps are Goma and then Bujumbura where similar workshops with the coalition member CSOs will take place within the same framework.
Les participants ont obtenu un modèle comportant six éléments importants qui leur facilitera la production d'un projet de document sur le RPC. Un calendrier de développement a été défini et le MPEDH s'est engagé à surveiller la livraison du document de RPC par les membres des organisations ayant participé à l'atelier. Les prochaines étapes sont celles de Goma, puis de Bujumbura, où des ateliers similaires avec les OSC membres de la coalition auront lieu dans le même cadre.

Romans 11:1-24 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Remnant of Israel
11 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4 But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written,
"God gave them a spirit of stupor,
9 And David says,
"Let their table become a snare and a trap,
Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[b] mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[c] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

Lionel Washington (Son Left Behind become believer after Rapture, founder of Young Trib force)
|Spiritual State

|First Appearance
|Left Behind
Lucinda Washington was the senior editor of the Chicago office of Global Weekly prior to the Rapture in the Left Behind books. She was a devout Christian who tried to get Buck Williams to see the truth about God and Jesus Christ, even by getting him to see that the miraculous protection of Israel from the massive Russian military strike was prophesied of in Scripture. She was taken in the Rapture, leaving behind her son Lionel, who became a believer and a founding member of The Young Tribulation Force. Her role as senior editor was taken over by Verna Zee.
In the 2000-2005 Left Behind film series, Lucinda Washington doesn't appear, although Verna Zee does, most likely as a composite character combining elements of both herself and Lucinda.

On Sunday, 10th June, Green Councillor Alyson Black was formally inaugurated as the Deputy Mayor of Glastonbury at St. John's Church.
Alyson, who is Chair of Glastonbury's Fairtrade Town Steering Group, will also become Chair of the Town Council's Finance and General Purposes Committee as part of her new role. Outside of her work as a Town Councillor, Alyson spends time volunteering for Glastonbury Abbey's wildlife area and for rescued horses.
Speaking about being Deputy Mayor, Alyson said, "This year, as my focus, I would like to work with the wildlife organisations in our area to protect and develop wildlife sanctuaries, and also Glastonbury's wildlife corridors – as mentioned in the Neighbourhood Plan."
"Make a difference to your local community through volunteering" was the message when CSW You Can Do joined Glastonbury's new, Green, Deputy Mayor Cllr. Alyson Black to celebrate the launch of Volunteers Week 2018 by hosting a Volunteer Fair at Glastonbury Town Hall, on Friday 1st June.
This was Alyson's first official engagement as Deputy Mayor of Glastonbury, a role in which she will be formally inaugurated on Mayor's Sunday later this month!
Glastonbury & Street Green Party is delighted to announce that Green Councillor Alyson Black was elected Deputy Mayor of Glastonbury with a unanimous vote at last night's Town Council 'Mayor Making' meeting.
Alyson, who has served on Glastonbury Council for the St. Edmund's Ward since 2011, becomes the town's fourth Green Deputy Mayor in five years!
Although she is our new Deputy, Alyson is no stranger to Mayoral Engagements because she was the Deputy Mayor's Escort to Glastonbury's first Green Deputy Mayor – Cllr. Denise Michell – in 2014/2015.
Alyson's formal Civic Inauguration will take place at St. John's Church on Mayor's Sunday, 10th June.
The Association of Green Councillors (AGC) has highlighted Glastonbury & Street Green Party's members in their national review of 'Green Councillor Achievements – Changing the way councils think 2014-2016'
Glastonbury's Green Councillors feature at the top of the list of 'Firsts' – "celebrating Green solutions are cheaper and better for people".
Featuring the Green led Town Council's ban of chemical herbicides – proposed by Cllr Alyson Black in June 2015 – and the Council's subsequent adoption of non-toxic weed control, the AGC website states: "Glastonbury Greens managed to implement what is thought to be the country's first ban on chemical herbicides (for use on council owned areas). They introduced Foamstream, an eco-friendly herbicide as a replacement."
To find out more please visit the AGC website HERE.
In 2015 – following a resolution made by Green Councillors Alyson Black and Emma George – Glastonbury became the first UK Council to ban traditional, chemical herbicides such as glyphosate. This film looks at the alternative weed-control method that Glastonbury Town Council has chosen: Foamstream.
Glastonbury Town Council's resolution to ban chemical herbicides and use a plant-based alternative has been used as an example by both Bristol City Council and Shaftesbury Town Council in their moves to change from chemical herbicides to more environmentally friendly solutions; the Green Councillor's initiative has been praised by literally thousands of people on social media and Glastonbury's story has featured in articles and publications.
If you would like your Council to ban chemical herbicides – please share and re-post this video. Let's show that there is a different way of doing things for the common good!
Town hails weed control after banning chemical from Horticulture Week (29 April 2016).
Glastonbury Town Council has banned the herbicide glyphosate from being used on all publicly-owned land in the town.
Green Councillor Emma George said "Many Glastonbury residents became concerned about the herbicide following an assessment of its carcinogenicity by the International Agency for Research on Cancer – the specialised cancer agency of the World Health Organization – who classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans in March 2015".
Cllr George and fellow Green Cllr Alyson Black have been holding talks with Mendip District Council, the Landscape Group, and Weedingtech – the makers of the non-toxic weed-control 'Foamstream' – to look at trialling an alternative approach to glyphosate herbicides.

Common Assessment Framework
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a total quality management tool developed by the public sector for the public sector, inspired by the Excellence Model of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM). It is based on the premise that excellent results in organisational performance, citizens/customers, people and society are achieved through leadership driving strategy and planning, people, partnerships, resources and processes. It looks at the organisation from different angles at the same time: the holistic approach to organisation performance analysis.
Criteria 1-5 deal with the managerial practices of an organisation, the so-called 'Enablers'. These determine what the organisation does and how it approaches its tasks to achieve the desired results. The assessment of actions relating to the Enablers should be based on the Enablers Panel (see CAF Scoring and Assessment Panels).
