We work together with St Enoch's Hogganfield and St Andrew's East, sharing at least four united services per year in each building, by rotation. So if you see services advertised that take place in either of those churches, it means there's no service that Sunday at St Paul's!

The Global Rallycross Volkswagen Beetle will make its debut at the GRC event in Washington, DC. Originally slated for release at the GRC race at the Austin X Games, the pair of Beetles will be driven by Tanner Foust and Scott Speed.
"After Volkswagen of America's impressive start on the rallycross scene with the Polo, the launch of the new Beetle GRC rallycross car represents the next major milestone. The Beetle boasts a unique appearance and state-of-the-art technology," said Jost Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport director. "It will sweep fans off their feet."
Built on the new third generation Volkswagen Beetle, the Beetle GRC was engineered from the start for rallycross. The Beetle claims an inherent advantage to many of its GRC competitors like the Ford Fiesta GRC car, which was originally designed for the World Rally Championship.
Powering the Beetle GRC will be a pint sized 1.6 liter TSI inline-four. Making the most of its intercooled, turbocharged powerplant, the Beetle makes a whopping 544 horsepower. The boosted engine develops 340 horsepower per liter, and the ubiquitous rally-developed anti-lag system will keep the turbo in boost throughout their races. Power is sent through a 6-speed sequential transmission, which puts power down to all four wheels. With the right launch, the Beetle GRC can get from 0-60 mph in just 2.1 seconds.
Chassis development for the Beetle GRC, just as important as its power, has been tailored specifically for GRC rules. Underneath the wide fenders and aerodynamics sits a set of ZF dampers, providing 9.1 inches of suspension travel to handle the jumps and bumps of the dirt rallycross sections. Limited slip differentials work to put power down to all four 17 inch wheels, wrapped in 240mm wide Yokohama racing tires. The Beetle GRC weighs in at 2,668 lbs, the minimum weight allowed by GRC rules.
Originally planned to race at the Austin X Games event, the Beetle will instead make its race debut at the aptly named Volkswagen Rallycross DC. Fielded by Andretti Autosport with drivers Tanner Foust and Scott Speed. The duo have been driving the Volkswagen Polo GRC, which has won the first two events in the hands of Scott Speed.
"The Polo has already proved super-competitive," said Scott Speed, "and we are really looking forward to racing a car that has been engineered specifically by Volkswagen Motorsport for GRC competition."
Global Rallycross in Washington, DC takes place this Sunday, June 22. NBC will provide live race coverage starting 2 PM Eastern.

Collective Card Games Making a comeback?
by, 09-20-13 at 12:34 AM (21622 Views)
Growing up some of us remember initially seeing Magic the Gathering and being involved. Over time Pokemon and YuGiOh came into mainstream and attracted players to their worlds. This was mostly in part to them also having a tv show that could attract youth to them. As we have entered the Electronic age of gaming it seems like people enjoy playing many of these games still... But do we enjoy them in the same way? Magic the Gathering: Online, Clash of the Dragons, Legacy of Heroes, Ascension, and now Hearthstone have seemed to make it to the front lines of the CCG community. Hearthstone is still in the Beta phase of testing, but there are many wonderful things being said about it.
Clash of the Dragons- Starting with few cards in your deck and very little energy it seems like there won't be much you can do game wise. The way energy is setup at the moment allows you to clear the first zone with almost no difficulty. The storyline is great and gets you caught up with knowing the evolution of the characters. As you progress in levels the various aspects of PVP, Colosseum (Weekly PVP with rules on cards in your deck), and the drafting aspect begin to move to the front of the line. Drafting puts 4 players into an event where they pull cards from a pack and then select a "class" to build a deck from. These events are part luck and part skill based on your deck building. It will take time to adjust to the various card combinations in game and learn the various classes available. The premium draft events are a primary selling point for the game. Once involved in friendly competition with other players there is a driving force that makes you want to better yourself in each aspect of the game. Drafting is a great way to see new cards and obtain rarer cards. There are multiple coins/tokens available from packs which will help you in crafting cards or obtaining packs to do the premium draft events. While it does take time to build yourself to a point where multiple zones are available to you the community does assist with this. Moderators keep the chat child friendly (usually) and pass on ideas to Developers about things the community enjoys and doesn't enjoy. Every week there are updates which help keep the game new and exciting for players.
Next week I will visit Magic the Gathering: Online

Crocodiles are four legged reptilian creatures similar to crocolisks and alligators. Druids can summon them as a nature's ally.[1] Crocodiles are aggressive predators 11 to 12 feet long. They lie mostly submerged in rivers or marshes, with only their eyes and nostrils showing, waiting for prey to come within reach. If the crocodile bites down on an opponent, the crocodile establishes a hold on the opponent with its mouth and drags it into deep water, attempting to pin it to the bottom. A crocodile can hold its breath for a long while before it risks drowning. A crocodile can hide when in the water. Further, a crocodile can lie in the water with only its eyes and nostrils showing.[2]
- Large crocodile
A larger species. Summonable by druids.[1]
- Giant crocodile
These huge creatures usually live in salt water and can be more than 20 feet long. Giant crocodiles fight and behave like their smaller cousins.[2]

Maury McIntyre has taken the reins as prexy-COO of the Television Academy at a moment when there's a clamor to overhaul key Emmy Award categories to better reflect the vastness of the contempo programming landscape.
McIntyre has a deep resume in digital entertainment, but that doesn't mean he's receptive to the push to break up Emmy's top series categories into distinct platform-centric races. Quite the contrary.
"We view television as programming," McIntyre said. "It's not the box, it's not the platform, it's the programming. We're not going to go there in terms of online vs. on-air."
The other kudos-related issue that has gained steam in this cycle concerns complaints about the lack of Emmy rules on "category shopping" among contenders looking for the least competitive playing field (i.e., entering a series as a comedy rather than a drama).
As always, McIntyre said the Acad's board of governors will review the entire awards process after the Aug. 25 ceremony is in the history books. He and TV Acad chairman-CEO Bruce Rosenblum are well aware of the concerns raised about the efficacy of the competition.
"There may be some increased examination this year," McIntyre said. "Bruce has heard the questions loud and clear. We want to make sure we're looking at them carefully."
McIntyre was hired by the TV Acad as a VP in March 2013 to bring it up to speed on all things digital, an area where the organization's efforts were creaky at best. His job description hasn't changed much in the three months since he was promoted to the top staff job.
He was elevated following the death in April of his predecessor, Lucy Hood, who had been on the job for only 10 months.
"Lucy and I blended perfectly in how we saw things evolving for the Academy," said McIntyre, who was a VP at Disney Interactive and also held exec posts at 20th Century Fox and Tokyopop. "That's what led to me being able to take on this role."
McIntyre's immediate focus in this compacted Emmy season was overseeing the launch of online voting in the Emmy nominations balloting for the first time. By all accounts, the effort went smoothly among the org's 17,500 active members and will be extended next year to encompass the final Emmy voting as well.
He also thinks the Academy should be more visible in speaking with the public and government.
"I believe that as a representative voice of the industry, we could be heard a little farther than we are now," he said.

Let us give you an honest opinion about your technology footprint.
A common dilemma we run into with previously managed on-premise systems is that they were too large, too expensive, and difficult to maintain – the perfect recipe for technology staff to justify their existence at companies. We're streamlining systems for companies on a monthly basis that were caught in this trap. Let's chat about your bloated technology footprint today.
Public and private sector experience in a range of technologies.
Even if you recruit the best IT worker you can find, chances are he/she has not had the breadth of experience in the public and private sectors like our diverse team has. Our backgrounds come from numerous prior specialties and skill-sets, allowing our company to provide professional support for numerous technologies at any given time.
Curious about how much money you could save by outsourcing with Precept IT?

A Reading Against Shakespeare, Antigone, Aristotle, British Council, George Steiner, Harold Bloom, King Lear, poems, Richard de Zoysa, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare
I have long been hesitant in writing about Shakespeare, because it seems almost inconceivable that something new could be said. However, in writing a series about the visions of English poets, to leave Shakespeare out would obviously leave an enormous gap.
In trying to think of a new angle, or at least to approach Shakespeare in a way that would provide some fresh ideas, I was inspired by something Harold Bloom said in Genius, his provocative and illuminating account of inspired writers. Naturally he has Shakespeare at the top of the list, and I suspect no one would disagree – though I cannot but recall here a virtuoso performance by the American critic George Steiner, called 'A Reading Against Shakespeare', which he delivered with aplomb at the annual literature seminar that the British Council used to run in Cambridge for many years.
His thesis, or rather one of the most important criticisms he made amongst many, was that there was really no order in the way Shakespeare constructed his world. I still remember the example he used to make this point, his account of the death of Cordelia in King Lear, which he said occurred simply because the message to save her went too late. He contrasted this with the failure to save Antigone in Sophocles' play of that name, which he noted occurred because Creon the errant protagonist, had to reverse the wrongs he did in order, rather than rescuing Antigone first.
The obvious answer to this complaint was that, while observing the demands of ritual was all very well, it was silly of Creon to have put off assistance to the still living in order to first fulfil his obligations to the dead. But leaving aside such debating points, the broader justification would be that there is no order in the real world, and Shakespeare was above all a painter of the world as it is, not someone who imposed his own formal structures on people and events.
That is a reasonable reply but, in thinking about Shakespeare's vision after reading Bloom, I realized that there is more to it than that, and we cannot really ignore the formal structures that Shakespeare uses to expand our understanding of human nature. Coincidences abound, and denouements may seem constructed, but there are always reasons for these, that help us to appreciate better how people work on each other.
I have been the more concerned about the frameworks through which we both observe and work on the world since I began to realize how in Sri Lanka things are fast deteriorating because of the absence of systems and formal structures. These facilitate the maintenance and analysis of records and the predictability of responses, which people need if they are to play their own parts with confidence. Without these we seem the playthings of chance and, even if some great tragedies talk about the arbitrary nature of the universe, the more illuminating tragedies make clear our own contribution to what we suffer.
My reflections on the subject sprang from Bloom's claim, almost a throwaway, that Juliet was a wholly innocent victim in Romeo and Juliet. He asserts that the play 'is a tragedy of circumstance; nothing in Juliet's own character leads to the catastrophe.' This is not to say that the propulsions towards tragedy are by fate alone, since of course the actions and reactions, and indeed the stratagems, of others are what move things along.
The assertion springs from what Bloom obviously assumed his readers would understand, the touchstone on which his identification of this exception was based, namely Aristotle's seminal claim that a tragic victim had to contribute in some way to his or her fate. Otherwise what happened would simply be pathetic (conversely, he should not act so badly as to deserve the negative consequences that befell him, since then what happened would be just rather than tragic).
I think Bloom is essentially correct in his assessment of Juliet, who is by and large the innocent victim of a world of brutal and destructive concepts of honour and family propriety. I did once, along with Richard de Zoysa, suggest an alternative view, in which we got seven young actors to read extracts from the play in different ways. One interpretation stressed the helplessness of both Romeo and Juliet in a world in which others used them for their own self-centred ends, the other suggested that they were adults who made their own choices with a self-centred determination that paralleled the intransigence of the rest.
But I suspect the latter interpretation was a bit forced, and I am increasingly struck by the pathos with which Shakespeare endows Juliet, as for instance when she finds that even her trusted nurse seems to think there is no alternative except to accept what her parents have chosen for her –
O God!–O nurse, how shall this be prevented?
My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven;
How shall that faith return again to earth,
Unless that husband send it me from heaven
By leaving earth? comfort me, counsel me.
Alack, alack, that heaven should practise stratagems
Upon so soft a subject as myself!
What say'st thou? hast thou not a word of joy?
Some comfort, nurse.
Overwhelmed then with the sense of Juliet's innocence, I was reminded of George Steiner's characterization of the death of Cordelia in King Lear, a death that epitomizes pathos, as expressed in the most repetitive pentameter in literature, with each troche hammering in Lear's despair
And my poor fool is hang'd! No, no, no life!
Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,
And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never!
Pray you, undo this button: thank you, sir.
Do you see this? Look on her, look, her lips,
Look there, look there!
That sentence must be heard with the memory of the poetry of Cordelia's own pronouncements, beginning with her truthful assertion of her love for her father
Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me: I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honour you.
Why have my sisters husbands, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty:
Sure, I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.
The lack of frills, which upsets Lear who had just been fed on the excesses of his two elder daughters, introduces a direct innocence that, though in actual fact we see it all too little in the play, provides a bedrock of decency as the wicked begin to dominate. It is a sad innocence in that it suffers rebuff at the very beginning of the play, and in this contrasts with the enthusiastic innocence of Juliet, who is so full of hope through so much of Romeo and Juliet. But I can do no better, in this first discussion of the genius of Shakespeare, than to cite some passages which show the freshness that Shakespeare could so splendidly illustrate, and celebrate, even though its ultimate fate was tragic.
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself……
O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.
Juliet's expression of impatience is both fresh and full of insight
The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse;
In half an hour she promised to return.
Perchance she cannot meet him: that's not so.
O, she is lame! love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams,
Driving back shadows over louring hills:
Therefore do nimble-pinion'd doves draw love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.
Now is the sun upon the highmost hill
Of this day's journey, and from nine till twelve
Is three long hours, yet she is not come.
Had she affections and warm youthful blood,
She would be as swift in motion as a ball;
My words would bandy her to my sweet love,
And his to me:
But old folks, many feign as they were dead;
Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.
O God, she comes!
And, finallty, the parting of the lovers has some of the most resonant lines in romance
Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
Yon light is not day-light, I know it, I:
It is some meteor that the sun exhales,
To be to thee this night a torch-bearer,
And light thee on thy way to Mantua:
Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone.
Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death;
I am content, so thou wilt have it so.
I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye,
'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow;
Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat
The vaulty heaven so high above our heads:
I have more care to stay than will to go:
Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so.
How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day.
It is, it is: hie hence, be gone, away!
It is the lark that sings so out of tune,
Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps.
Some say the lark makes sweet division;
This doth not so, for she divideth us:
Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes,
O, now I would they had changed voices too!
Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray,
Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day,
O, now be gone; more light and light it grows.

I had recently attended the Annual General Meeting by Ascott REIT. My first time attending an AGM.
The decision to invest in this REIT dates way back to my stay in Citadines Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok and Somerset Park Suanplu, during my visits to Bangkok, Thailand back in 2011-2012. The properties by Ascott are of a high standard the service rendered by the staff on duty are good as well.
Though it was my first time attending the AGM and EGM – both happened on the same day, it gave me more insight into how such meetings are conducted and personal learning experience from the way the presentations are done in the corporate sector. Being an investor brings you into a different level of awareness about the investments you are going into. At the same time, you gain deeper exposure into what you are investing in and look around at how Q&A are done by more seasoned investors of various age groups.
While it is good to know that the geographical exposure of the REITs in terms of income generation is very broad, it is also interesting to know how the REIT will perform going forward. Just looking at the Annual Reports alone sometimes is not sufficient as reports only tell you so much about the past. It is also evidence in the equities which I am invested in globally to illustrate the takeaway learning point apart from investing in ETFs. A list of my existing holdings can be found on the Drip of Dividends page.
A visit to the existing properties own by the REIT manager will give you better insight into how the property is performing from a guests point of view as well. That is the reasons whenever I do hotel stays, I make it a point to do some hotel reviews along the way. However, it does not mean I will disclose myself as an investor of the hotel or property as it is not a necessity and you don't want preferential treatment just because you are a shareholder.

Crossposted from Prosperity Watch.
According to new labor market data for released by the Division of Employment Security for February, North Carolina's economy continues to improve but still faces a long up-hill climb to replace the jobs lost in the Great Recession and to meet the demands of population growth. On the positive side, the unemployment rate dropped for the fifth straight month, from 10.2 percent to 9.9 percent in February. Additionally, labor force participation, a key measure of prime-age workers either currently employed or actively seeking employment, grew by 5,000 in February, following a 17,000 increase in the number of employed workers over the same period. Given that the percentage of the population currently employed improved from 55.6% to 56.7% in February, these data points suggest that the drop in the unemployment rate is genuinely reflecting higher employment in the labor market, and not simply discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force.
Despite this improvement, North Carolina is still lagging behind in terms of creating enough jobs to replace those lost in the 2007-2010 recession and to keep up with population growth of working-age North Carolinians. This is the state's "jobs deficit,"—the number of jobs the state needs to create in order to catch up to these employment levels—which currently stands at 520,900. This represents a slight improvement from last month's jobs deficit of 530,600 jobs, but nonetheless still indicates the long road North Carolina's labor market needs to travel in order to fully recover from the recession.

Jamie Travis is quite an accomplished short filmmaker. His shorts – focusing on children and the angst of being 'different' – usually embrace a darker formalist aesthetic. Think Todd Solondz by way of Wes Anderson. (For a full sampling of his shorts work – click here) Which is why his first foray into features is so striking – For A Good Time, Call… eschews those darker formalist tendencies, in favor of a much lighter, brighter, almost bubble-gum like aesthetic. It's a film that instead of focusing on the loneliness of children or outcasts instead concentrates on the burgeoning friendship of two twenty-something single ladies. It's an interesting departure for the director, not so much in terms of length, but more so content and theme.
In the following interview, Travis discusses the difficulties (or lack thereof) of shifting from short films to a feature, adapting his formalist style to the heightened realism of For A Good Time Call… and his hopes to balance his darker indie sensibilities with more mainstream fare in the future. For the full interview, hit the jump.
Jamie Travis:
- 00:00 – Jamie Travis on how he got involved in For A Good Time, Call…
- 00:48 – On directing a film he didn't write
- 01:40 – On shifting from directing short films to a feature
- 02:20 – On adapting his more formalist style to the heightened reality of For A Good Time, Call…
- 03:15 – On what film's he's working on now (hopefully a balance between mainstream fare and his darker comedic indie instincts)
*Of Travis's short work – I was particularly taken with The Saddest Boy in The World and The Armoire. Both are well worth your hypothetical time. In the interest of objectivity, I must admit I was far less impressed with his Patterns shorts.
