Simplon Pass is the narrow Alps passage between Italy and Switzerland. William Wordsworth called it "gloomy," seeing in its depressing weather patterns and bombastic topography, the "workings of one mind, the features of the same face, blossoms upon one tree, characters of the great Apocalypse."
Eric Zimmerman's latest collection of drawings, titled Simplon Pass, comprises a pictorial narrative. Zimmerman, like Wordsworth, has captured the moody aura of a specific landscape, but he also tells a story. Taking inspiration from utopian buildings, such as Britain's Crystal Palace (1851), a massive, iron and glass exhibition hall constructed for the World's Fair, he has created a stunning group of architectural drawings on sheets of Denril vellum that tells the story of one civilization, one landscape and, most obliquely, one earth.
Hung at the entrance of the gallery, Turner's Palace Right (For Arturo) and Turner's Palace Left (For Arturo) establish the story's setting. The drawings are large in scale, with solid architectural maps in the background and unpredictable fields of colored ink in the foreground. The graphite maps and ink additions represent a key fissure between the real, or the known, and the ephemeral. This combative relationship is apparent in every picture in Zimmerman's show, but what's most striking about these first drawings is the color choice. Shades of orange and blue can seem like cheery bursts together, but here they depict a violent explosion in a happy place, as if we're seeing a hot air balloon burst into flames.
The gallery's western wall includes a series of nine small drawings, the Floe series, which are some of the strongest works in the show. Each drawing serves as a puzzle piece that fits with those around to depict a fixed, planned architectural structure interrupted by a kinetic mass of ink. On the one hand, the moody wells of color are fetus-like, all veins and black and blue. On the other, the ink looks like pollution, the ozone blanket common in car-centric regions like the eastern edges of L.A. County. In Greenhoods Growth House, Zimmerman has pushed this environmental allusion even further by creating an aerial view, thus shifting the work's perspective. In these two large-scale drawings, the architectural structures are resistant victims of the increasingly menacing blobs that obscure them.
In Responsive City , three drawings in the second room of the gallery, Zimmerman rotated the architectural structures by various degrees in each picture. This time the blob is fixed, like a black cloud, while the "city" map moves and adjusts to its new reality. This is perversely optimistic in that the next four drawings, titled Ruins/Future, depict a lovely mess. In this series" square arrangement, Zimmerman returned to orange and blue, spreading it across each piece of plastic and engulfing the architectural structures. Though this vision of the future suggests a splintering exodus, it preserves a sense of interconnectivity because each drawing depends on its series mate for symmetry. It's a push-pull arrangement that, in color and perception, echoes the state of earlier works in the show.
Crystal Palace/Simplon Pass #1 (For Amanda) completes this circle. It appends a fitting "the end" to the story as blue and orange ink hovers above the architectural structures in a balanced compromise. Significantly, the structures dip down in teardrop shapes, rather than upward in a tall tale of promise and industry. Zimmerman's extraordinary show, in its entirety, tells the story of one changing landscape, a civilization altered and manipulated by outside influences, by its own undoing or by Zimmerman himself. The anthropomorphic qualities of his ink blobs are hardly accidental. After all, humans are responsible for the construction and dismantling of their own utopias; perhaps, in the end, we'll help care for the new one we're inevitably ushering in.

The cold war was a number of battles and disagreements that lasted for 44 years, starting in1945, or post World War Two. The Cold War started with the Yalta conference. This was a meeting of ;Winston Churchill from England, Franklin D. Roosevelt representing the United States, and Josef Stalin, the Soviet Union's leader.
The subjects of the talk were; German war reparations, the entry of Soviet forces into Japan, the dividing up of Germany, and making of the United Nations. The most important matter at hand was the future of Poland. During the meeting, Roosevelt and Churchill were agreeable, but Stalin disagreed on almost all of the subjects. On the reparation of Germany, Stalin suggested that the 20 billion dollars to divided 50% to the Soviet Union and the rest to the western countries. After this, of course, relations with the Communist party weakened.
During February of 1948, Soviet Union Communists take over Czechoslovakia.
On June 24 1948, the control over Berlin known as the 'Berlin Blockade' started. The open passage between the Western controlled sectors of Berlin allowed for the get away of hundreds of thousands of eastern Europeans to escape the Soviet Union. The Western sectors wanted a common currency in their three sectors, but the Soviet Union opposed that and claimed that if they went forward with it then they would 'blockade'.
The issue never was settled and hence on June 24, 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic to Berlin from West Germany. This left the three western controlled sectors out of future supplies. The Soviet Union also closed all electricity to the three sectors. This 'blockade' caused a total of 2 and half million people out of their main importer of electricity and supplies, including food. The Blockade lasted for a whole...

all of us at the Pulitzer Pink Palace who got to meet Kylee and be a part of her special day would probably say it was just as magical for us
The staff of Lilly Pulitzer
Kylee had a special wish to be a Fashion Designer and the gang at Lilly Pulitzer helped made her day very special.
Kylee and her family arrived at the Pulitzer Pink Palace via a black stretch limo. She was greeted by fashion director, Janie Schoenborn and given a full blown office tour, starting with the famous LP distribution center. After touring the DC, Janie and Kylee worked their way around to Merchandising, Design, and Product Development.
Janie introduced Kylee to some new faces and walked her through the process of how a Lilly shift is created.After the tour, Kylee was met by print designers Stacey and Paige, as well as our Fashion Designer, Abraham who sat with Kylee to design Lilly prints and colorful dresses in the print design studio. This is where Kylee's true passion for design came out…you should have seen the colorful styles she was drawing!! The tour, painting and designing had us work up quite an appetite! Lilly veteran, Pat Borjeson, helped prepare a wonderful spread of PB & J and pink and green floral cupcakes. Kylee snacked while she sat with Janie, the print designers, and met some of the other Lilly ladies that work in our offices who stopped by to say hello.
Next, was a part of the day that was a bit of a secret. Kylee was surprised her after lunch by being whisking her away in the Lilly Jeep to the King of Prussia store for a SHOPPING SPREE! Kylee tried on everything from bathing suits to skirts to dresses…and because no one could pick a favorite, she received them all! Even Mom received a dress so they could match. Kylee walked out with 4 BIG shopping bags (bigger than she was!) and a huge grin on her face.
All in all, it was an incredibly magical day for Ms. Kylee but all of us at the Pulitzer Pink Palace who got to meet Kylee and be a part of her special day would probably say it was just as magical for us. A big THANK YOU to our friends at the Make a Wish Foundation for allowing us to be part of it and to everyone who helped make Kylee's day so special.

Happy 2012!
We're excited to kick off another year of digging deeper, bringing you relevant, timely stories, and building co-operative media together across Canada!
Last year was a busy one, with lots of great coverage both from the growing local media co-ops and from The Dominion.
We couldn't do all this without our Media Co-op members: over 500 readers and contributors who support the work we do, day-in and day-out. To make sure 2012 is even more successful, you can join them by becoming a Media Co-op member today!
With that in mind, we bring you:
East to West: Eleven picks from 2011!
A Town Without Poverty?
Our most read piece of the year, Vivian Belik dug into the long-forgotten story of a Canadian experiment in guaranteed income on the Prairies.
First Nations Under Surveillance
The most read story on the Media Co-op site this year, Russ Diabo and Shiri Pasternak blew the lid on the Canadian government spying on First Nations.
The G20 Papers
The 2010 G20 meetings in Toronto continued to have reverberations last year, and our contributors stuck to the case. Tim Groves, of the Toronto Media Co-op, led the ambitious task of requesting public records and crowd-sourcing the research, with more coverage still to come.
The Occupy movement grabbed imaginations and brought thousands into parks and squares across the country to question the status quo and challenge the "one percent." Co-op contributors were there, covering actions and asking critical questions.
Dispatches from the Tahrir
Miles Howe, from the Halifax Media Co-op, set sail with hundreds of others on the Canadian Boat to Gaza. His dispatches from the flotilla to break the blockade of Gaza documented one of the most talked about humanitarian efforts of 2011.
Foreign Aid to Mining Firms
Roberto Nieto and Gwen Schulman investigated how our government--and some NGOs--support Canadian mining firms abroad despite cases of human rights and environmental abuses.
Oil Gateway
The fight against oil and gas pipelines, especially through Northern BC, heated up in 2011. Vancouver Media Co-op contributor Stimulator visited the Unis'toten nation to explore how they are battling the construction of four pipelines through their traditional territories.
Sex Ed's Straight Edge
Could sexual education across Canada be more inclusive? A growing number people think so, and that lives could be saved in the process, Kelly Pflug-Back found.
Sincerely, the Working Class
The Canadian postal workers strike marked 2011, both for labour policy and heralding the Conservative government's austerity measures. Canadians showed their love for postal workers, though, and we have the photo essay to prove it.
Canada on Secret Oil Offensive: Documents
In an investigative feature, Martin Lukacs revealed the Canadian government's push to undermine European environmental regulations in favour of Alberta tar sands exports.
The UN conference on climate change in Durban disappointed many, but members of the Montreal Media Co-op were there to speak with environmental activists who are at the heart of movements fighting for real solutions.
The Media Co-op's flagship publication features in-depth reporting, original art, and the best grassroots news from across Canada and beyond. Sign up now!

A one-item workability measure mediates work demands, individual resources and health in the prediction of sickness absence
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
OBJECTIVES: The study tested the hypothesis that a one-item workability measure represented an assessment of the fit between resources (the individuals' physical and mental health and functioning) and workplace demands and that this resource/demand fit was a mediator in the prediction of sickness absence. We also estimated the relative importance of health and work environment for workability and sickness absence. METHODS: Baseline data were collected within a Danish work and health survey (3,214 men and 3,529 women) and followed up in a register of sickness absence. Probit regression analysis with workability as mediator was performed for a binary outcome of sickness absence. The predictors in the analysis were as follows: age, social class, physical health, mental health, number of diagnoses, ergonomic exposures, occupational noise, exposure to risks, social support from supervisor, job control and quantitative demands. RESULTS: High age, poor health and ergonomic exposures were associated with low workability and mediated by workability to sickness absence for both genders. Low social class and low quantitative demands were associated with low workability and mediated to sickness absence among men. The mediated part was from 11 to 63 % of the total effect for the significant predictors. CONCLUSION: Workability mediated health, age, social class and ergonomic exposures in the prediction of sickness absence. The health predictors had the highest association with both workability and sickness absence; physical work environment was higher associated with the outcomes than psychosocial work environment. However, the explanatory value of the predictors for the variance in the model was low.

In 1956, Mrs. Caroline Foulke enjoyed a tri-city life with homes in Paris, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida, and that year, she walked into the New York City Mercedes-Benz dealership with a most unusual request-a new station wagon. While this is a commonplace order today, no such car was available in the Mercedes-Benz lineup in the 1950s. This was far from a standard model; however, Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the 1950s were eager to please. After some clever research, a new 300c sedan was ordered and, according to various accounts, it was shipped directly from Stuttgart to the Binz & Co. Coachworks in nearby Lorch-one of the few remaining custom coachbuilders in Germany. Known for building ambulances, hearses, and other commercial vehicles on smaller M-B chassis, it was a fitting task for them to create a station wagon.
According to famed Mercedes-Benz restorer Bob Hatch, the Binz craftsmen most likely removed the standard bodywork from the front doors back. A one-piece roof panel was then fabricated, as was a new rear section, complete with folding rear seats and two-section tailgate. To create a seamless fit, the original rear doors were substantially modified, with vent windows incorporated. Other modifications were 190SL taillights (standard items being too large), polished, unpainted wheel covers, and a unique livery of medium gray over red leather. The finishing touch for Mrs. Foulke's wagon was the application of diagonal stripes, painted from the leading edge of the chrome belt molding to the lower rear edge of the door. The colors chosen were red and blue, to match her yacht club burgee. Binz assigned serial number 3 to the one-off wagon.
Legend has it that Mrs. Foulke was so fond of her splendid wagon that she had it shipped by air from home to home. Years later, the car was sold, eventually coming to the attention of Bill Patton, a car collector from Orange County, California. It remained with him for many years, before being sold to collector Charlie Cawley. In Cawley's care, the car was repainted in its current shade of Midnight Blue.
Approximately ten years ago, the unique wagon was bought by its current owner, a collector with an interest in one-offs. It was promptly sent to Hatch & Sons, who were to undertake a partial restoration. What ensued was the removal of the engine and interior, a thorough engine bay detailing, a mechanical rebuild, and an interior restoration. Once completed, the car was shown at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, where it was well received.
This one-off station wagon is surprisingly architectural in its features, a masterpiece of then-modern German coachbuilding. The interior is magnificent. Woodgrain surrounds the cockpit and extends across the dashboard, onto the door sills, around the flush-fitting chrome window frames, and even surrounds the windscreen. The instruments and hardware are also impressive in their quality and spectacular in design, and the front compartment is generously equipped with a Becker Mexico radio, in-dash clock, and an optional air conditioning system, a necessity in humid Palm Beach. The passenger compartment and luggage area are similar in their deluxe appointments (woodgrain door caps, storage nets, and rich leather) and are meticulously finished with chrome hardware and thick carpets. Inside and out, the car remains in marvelous condition.
A 300 of unusual grace, style, and distinction, this custom Binz-bodied wagon is a prize. It entertains at high-end concours and Mercedes-Benz club meets alike and is still quite capable of acting as an exclusive town car, just as Mrs. Foulke imagined it back in 1956.

- Mom's chilli made with Carroll Shelby's Chilli fixins/rice/corn/pinto & kidney beans/hamburger/onion etc + shredded Mexican cheese and sour cream + 1.5 corn muffins = mmm mmm good.
- Went over my calories by a bit, but nothing detrimental
- Still a bit bummed about that though...
- Because I weighed myself this morning
- Oops, I forgot to mentioned my unofficial weigh in for today.
- And that my friends is why I'm a bit sad.
But I will be 280 or less this Friday at my official weigh in and then Saturday (May1st) I am starting the C25K thing and you get some new progress pictures (as my new trend is posting new pics the first of every month)
And now I shall sleep.
Good night world . . .

My goal: Trying to determine whether the group is the first or last group in the groupTextTpl
UPDATE: I found my bug. I was setting the lowest/highest catOrder to an int and the json that comes back for the catOrder was a string. Since javascript is weakly typed it kept chugging along happily and I had no idea. I simply put a parseInt in the template and it was solved. I am still open to a more elegant solution though.
I don't care how I reach the goal as long as I can know whether the group is the first or last when I am in its grouptexttpl because I need to do something different for both those cases. It doesn't have to be the same way as I am attempting as long as it works. My way is very ugly and I would much prefer a more elegant solution.
My failing attempt:
I have come across an issue I that I am not sure how to fix. I have a groupingview with a groupTextTpl that is set like this.
What I am doing is I want to set a divs class to hiddenGroup if it has the lowest categoryOrder, otherwise set it to groupUp.Code:groupTextTpl: '{text}
Up

Down
',
I also want to show groupDown except when it is the highest categoryOrder.
I set the data.lowestCatOrder and data.highestCatOrder in the load event of the groupingstore. But it seems like the load event happens after it is rendered because when it is first loaded hiddenGroup isn't the class for the highest or lowest group. When I do a gridView().refresh it works properly.
I cannot find anywhere where I can do a refresh in the code. When I try to do a grid.getView().refresh in the load event for the store the post aborts. If I do it elsewhere it doesn't appear to work. The only way I can get it to work is if I do a refresh in firebug after I load the store.
Any ideas/insight would be appreciated.

Pinspired: Faux Collar
|t-shirt: Target ($8) ~ blazer: Zara (old - $35ish) ~ collar-actually a scarf: Express (gift) ~ silk scarf: vintage (my mom's!) ~ pants: Calvin Klein via Filene's Basement ($24) ~ shoes: Mia via DSW ($60)
Date: January 17, 2012
Ensemble message: While I love getting inspiration from my fellow style bloggers, Pinterest has jumped the ranks and is now one of my go-to places for style ideas. And DIY ideas... and home decor, recipes, etc etc etc. When I saw this pin, I was instantly drawn to the fur collar and silk scarf. I personally would not have pair them together - in my head this is too much. But they actually balance out well, and this has been one of my favorite outfits from the past month!
My collar is a fake one - both the fur and the fact that it didn't come with this blazer. I carefully pinned the edges to hold it in place. What do you think - would you wear a fur collar and scarf together??

The first season of the revamped Dallas may be over in the United States, but it's just getting started on the other side of the pond. It's scored solid ratings in Britain and is, apparently, garnering attention in countries not inhabited by Anglophones. Take Germany, for instance, where Hagman gave an interview with Bunte magazine.
"Der Dallas Star raucht wieder Marihuana," the magazine announces, or: "The Dallas star smokes marijuana again." German not being Unfair Park's strong suit (it's our third language behind English and Libtardese), we'll turn to the UK's Daily Mail for a translation.
Hagman recently battled throat cancer that, along with the chemotherapy, "really took it out of me." So he turned to his old friend, which, he insisted, he treats as a medicine, not a drug.

"I lost 30 pounds, weighed only 171 pounds," he said. "Marijuana actually brought my appetite back."
At 80, Hagman has, of course, toned things down from his younger days, when he kept himself constantly loaded and tried just about every drug there is. Like mescaline, as he described in a 2011 interview with the New York Times:
Well, I was in a hut with about 10 young Indian boys. I took this stuff and got real sick, but after a while that passed, and I looked down and I had bird's claws, bird's feet and fur instead of feathers. I thought, Well, golly, this is interesting. I flew around the hut, and then I flew through the wall and flew around the reservation and came back. It was a heavy-duty spiritual thing. I wouldn't particularly want to do it again, but it was a wonderful experience.
His taste for pot, however, has not subsided. Für uns in Ordnung!

Steroid hormone receptors have been historically considered as nuclear transcription factors. Nevertheless, in the last years, many of them have been detected in the cellular membrane. It has been postulated that their activation can induce transcription independent rapid events involving different second messengers. In addition, several novel steroid hormone receptors, showing a different molecular structure than the classical ones, have also been characterized and most of them are also located in the plasmatic membrane. This review focuses on the variety of effects initiated by glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens and progesterone, and the possible receptors involved mediating these effects.

My Dog Tulip doesn't so much
interpret J.R. Ackerley's loving and lovable short memoir as a filmed
story, so much as it provides the book with moving illustrations. Animators
Sandra and Paul Fierlinger share writing and directing credits here,
their first feature-length film. Despite the charming and promising
source material they have chosen to work with and the evocative power
of their design sense, the Fierlingers don't do enough in terms of dramatizing
Ackerley's story, choosing instead to stay dangerously close to the
text (delivering much of it verbatim in the form of narration and dialogue),
which stiffens the narrative from a cinematic perspective. English reserve
and understatement were developed and perfected on the page; when read
in voice-over (even by an actor as gifted as Christopher Plummer), the
particular effects of these traits are diminished.
J.R. Ackerley was a major literary
figure in mid-twentieth century England. He edited the BBC's literary
journal, The Listener, for decades, and published several acclaimed
books. One of these is My Dog Tulip (1956), a memoir that chronicles
his relationship with a pet Alsatian (German Shepherd), a dog so difficult,
loving, and demanding, that she consumed the vast majority of Ackerley's
social and emotional life. Ackerley's book is a joy to read, an extremely
witty and subtly touching story of a very unusual and deep friendship.
The Fierlingers' film places Ackerley
(voiced by Plummer) and Tulip in a world in which animation only partially
dramatizes the book's narrative. Most of the film is essentially silent,
with voice-over narration drawn directly from the book being read over
animated action. In other words, there is not much dialogue per se,
just narration. Once in a while, other characters speak, such as Ackerley's
sister Nancy (voiced by Lynn Redgrave) and the veterinarian Dr. Canvenini
(voiced by Isabella Rossellini). For the most part, the story is expressed
through the uncomfortable combination of off-screen narration and on-screen
action, hence the impression that we're watching an illustrated novel
instead of a full cinematic interpretation of the book.
Visually, the animation embraces a
sketchy, throwback style that is not technically brilliant, but bears
a coherent color palette, an intuitive design sense, and good composition.
Tulip's movements are particularly realistic in the midst of human characters
whose features are elongated and caricatured, which lends her an almost
heightened level of emotion and expressiveness. The earthy colors capture
the look of the English seasons, and the rubble, ruin, and rebirth of
post-war London.
However, that still leaves the larger
question of storytelling, and unfortunately, in its dramatics, My
Dog Tulip is too static and stiff. The act of interpretation is
usually what justifies a book's adaptation to film, and here the Fierlingers
come up a little short. The film's narrative momentum rests solely with
narration lifted directly from Ackerley's memoir, which renders the
film version somewhat redundant. And beyond that bare fact, there's
the trickier question of tone that I alluded to earlier. Ackerley's
book comprises a delicate mix of dry English wit and understated tenderness
that works extremely well on the page; transliterated to the somewhat
abstracted medium of animation, some of that effect is sadly lost.

Last week I wanted to Link Up with Just Reed's Ten Pin Linky Party.
But, we spent the week...
Swimming at a Waterpark and...
Making a Campfires. How many teachers does it take to make a campfire? 4.
Yes, it took 4 women to make this campfire...but we loved it and even more, our kiddos loved it!
So, this week I'll link up with my Classroom Management Pins.
I have to be honest. I haven't always had great classroom management.
With experience, I learned it didn't have to do with the quality of my teaching.
It had to do with my lack of "systems".
I knew I wanted to do centers, but I simply didn't know how.
I knew I wanted to have a way to track missing homework, but again, I didn't know how.
I've been departmentalized for 8 years of my 10 years.
Classroom Management in a Departmentalized Classroom is
VERY different from a Self-Contained Classroom.
I don't have to have a system for 24 kids to learn,
I have to have a system that works for 65ish kiddos and 3 different classrooms.
Plus, my students have 3 different teachers and have to learn 3 different systems...CONFUSING!!!
I need to organize my Centers (maybe this summer).
Shhhh....I've never had a Teacher Binder. I had Data Binders, Student Info Folders, a Sub Folder, Meeting Folder, PLC Binder,a Lesson Plan Book and a Grade Book. Yes, all of this in different places! This year...1 Super-Teacher Binder!
My tables have buckets already, but I need them to be organized so students can keep up with my classroom supplies. I had to replenish every 6 weeks last year and I refuse to do so.
I like this idea (mine will be on chalkboard). I did this at a previous school and it worked well.
You might not think this is a classroom mngt. tool, but it is. I got rid of my desk last year in an effort to de-clutter my classroom. It worked...sorta. As the year wears on...teachers run out of things. They send kids down in the middle of my lesson to ask, "Mrs. Rogers wants to know if you have staples or Ms. Kelly needs stickers, do you have any?" Well, instead of me having to stop class and look...I can easily send a kiddo back to grab it.
This really helps my students and it's FREE from http://firstgradeglitterandgiggles.blogspot.com/!
This was my classroom library and I must admit that I loved it. This year my goal is to use QR codes to label each book and check them out to students. I ordered over 500 free books from Scholastic and I had a ton of them that students would borrow and not return. Not this year!
My team uses the clipchart for the first semester. Second semester we get bogged down with test prep...maybe table points or brownie points?
This is the ONLY WAY I will ever do homework AGAIN! I do Monday Homework Packets. Let's be serious with 64-67 kiddos at any given time, it's very hard to remember who was here what day of the week and what they missed. I used to DREAD Homework. I would hear, "You didn't give me mine." or "I forgot it at home." This way, all students get a homework packet on Monday. If they are absent, they get it on Tuesday. It is due on Friday and we grade in class. Check out my post.
This Little Piggy is water-logged from too much swimming!

Adult children, parents, and friends
What an awesome responsibility to continually teach our children – and tell your spouses, parents, family, and friends to love God and obey His contextual commandments above all else! (Deut. 6:5-7.) Yet, certain parents actually expected their adult son to 'honor his parents' by rejecting his God-fearing wife – just because she proclaimed the real Biblical Gospel to them and refused their abusive control over their marriage! However, Jesus commanded, "For this reason a man [and woman] shall leave [their parents,] and be joined to each other; and the two shall become one flesh… Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate."
Jesus said the priorities of a married couple must move from their parents to their own home, where only Jesus Christ is the Head of their household. However, children should never reject the good and Godly input of their parents. Even adult children should 'honor' and obey their parents in the truth and way of the Lord! (Eph. 6:4!) On the other hand, adult children should never submit to the idolatrous witchcraft of controlling and destructive parents.
Let not parents separate their married children from each other by committing idolatry and witchcraft. Let not husbands and wives divorce their spouses by committing adultery. Let not friends separate husbands and wives by tempting them with the pleasures of the world. And above all, let not religious male and female witches separate people from their family and community by persecuting them for their faith in, and obedience to Christ, (Mt. 19:5-6.)
Abusive children and maltreated parents
Of course, when speaking of abuse, one cannot exclude the inconceivable sins, which some children commit against their God-fearing parents, (Eph. 6:1.) Many adult and teenage children are actually in demonic revolt against God and His eternal Word. Thus, they are also rebelling, or committing the sin of witchcraft against the Godly lifestyle, ways, and teaching of their parents. As a result, many Godly parents [and born again children] are misunderstood, manipulated, rejected, mistreated, ignored, humiliated, robbed, exploited, and slandered by their own children [and parents!] These demonically controlled teenage and adult children (and parents) might not know it, (and they certainly do not care as they suffer from a huge lack of conscience,) but they have become stumbling blocks in the spiritual and emotional lives of their parents [or children.] They are the sorrows of the victims' hearts, and the shame of their good lives.
These children [and evil parents] are provoking the Lord to anger; tempting the judgment of the Sovereign God, as they neither 'honor' [nor respect] God, or His commandment to "obey their parents in the Lord." Neither do they respect the blessed gift of God-fearing parents [or children,] which God had entrusted to them, (Eph. 6:1.)
Ungodly children push parents into the danger zone of passivity, just as ungodly parents do to children
Suffering parents and children should realize that prayer is a powerful weapon against abuse, but on a physical level, they too, have only the general options of other victims: fight, flight, avoidance; or submission and passivity.
[I.e.: It is sad, but for fear of conflict and rejection, most Christian parents avoid dealing with the sin of their children – compromising God's Word by consenting to their teenage and adult children unashamedly 'moving in' with their lovers! The Dutch Reformed Church and other churches, which followed suit, openly commit idolatry and witchcraft by actually declaring that 'marriage is just a man-made institution, and there is nothing wrong with living together!' However, manmade ideas can never help anyone or glorify God. God Himself instituted the marriage covenant, (Read Mt. 19:3-9!) From this passage, it is clear that God also honors the civil legality of that covenant as executed through a human court of law, which protects the rights of spouses and children. Thus, God also commanded, "Every soul must be subject to the governing authorities… For he does not bear the sword in vain…"
Furthermore, some married couples commit, and even live secret lifestyles of adultery, (euphonized as 'having affairs,') 'swinging' or wife swapping, etc.; committing unspeakable sexual immorality while hypocritically raising a family! Yet, most Christian parents ignore these incredible sins and the dreadful consequences on their children and grandchildren, because parents know their satanically controlled adult or teenage children will not 'tolerate' any Godly instruction. But God judges such fear of man and passivity against sin most severely! Old Testament Eli knew that his sons lay with temple prostitutes and he did rebuke them, but not sternly enough. For his weak rebuke, God judged Eli as follows, "Why do you honor your sons more than Me… Your sons made themselves vile, and you did not restrain them…"
Soon afterwards, Eli's sons died in battle and Eli fell down, breaking his neck, (1 Sam. 2-4.)
For the sake of preserving souls, Jesus commanded in Mt. 5:13, "You are the (purifying, preserving) salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor… it is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot…"
When parents dishonor and disobey God to bow to their abusive children, they are subtly but dangerously enslaved by that evil mastermind of all sin and suffering, called Satan. Their relationship with God, and in the long run also their relationship with and each other, will suffer immensely as a result, (1 Cor. 15:33.)
The root of the problem: heaven converted to earth
Here are only a few of the facts; you be the judge whether they are telling you the truth according to the context of the New Testament. A generation ago, preacher Jim Reeves sang according to Jesus' Gospel and Biblical discipleship in Christ, "I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I'd rather be His, than have riches untold. I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land; yes, I'd rather be led by His nail-pieced hand, than to be the king of a vast domain; and be held in sin's dread sway… I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause; I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause. I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame; yes, I'd rather be true to His Holy Name!" And: "This world is not my home; I'm just a-passing through. My treasures are lined up, somewhere beyond the blue… and I can't feel at home in this world anymore! Oh Lord, You know, I have no friend like You. If heaven's not my home, then Lord, what will I do…"
Old Slim Whitman sang, "Come home, come home, it's Supper Time! We're going home at last…" Then, he rejoiced, "Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away… To my home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away!" He also confessed, "…I'm satisfied with… a little silver and a little gold… I've got a mansion, just over the hilltop, in that bright land, where we'll never grow old. And someday yonder, we'll never more wonder, and walk on streets that's as pure as gold!"
Today, the Kingdom-Now theology, the prosperity dogma, and pure satanic humanism have combined forces to turn these Bible-truths upside down. Instead of 'flying away to glory,' Charismatic teachers 'bring the glory DOWN from outside the born again, spiritual temple of the Holy Spirit.' Instead of longing for the crystal river in heaven, their unbiblical 'river of anointing' is enchanting the whole world to turn souls to their false teachings. Instead of preaching eternal life on the streets of gold in heaven, Benny Hinn shouts aggressively, "I want my gold now! If I hear one more time how it will be and how it was in heaven, I'm gonna kick somebody… God never blesses the sheep before the shepherd, the shepherd gets it first. If shepherds follow sheep we're gonna have poo on our shoes… [Don't ever criticize me!] Just give me a Holy Ghost machine gun and I'll blow your head off!" Morris Cerullo prophesies, "Would you surrender your pocketbooks unto Me, saith God, and let me be the Lord of your pocketbooks....Yea, so be thou obedient unto my voice!" Joyce Meyer teaches, "Jesus paid on the cross and in hell… [What incredible lie!] Then the resurrection power of Almighty God went through hell and filled Jesus... He was resurrected from the dead the first born-again man… [Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! Read how Jesus had atoned completely for all sin when He cried with His dying breath, "It is finished!"] Meyer continues, " Go to the phone and give $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $1,000,000… God has a miracle waiting on your response… I just love to talk about your money. Let me be very clear. I want your money. I deserve it. This church deserves it, [An Empire Of Souls, Page 35.] Rodney H. Brown actually declares, "Revival is not a work of God. Revival can be planned… scheduled. These are the days of the glory of God… People can be saved without the preaching of the Gospel! You can't put God in a box. Not everything God does is in the Bible!" Paul Crouch screeches, "God is rising up a prophetic generation; we're gonna kick some butt in the midst of this mess… We're God, yes, I Am a little God!" John Avanzini lies, "Your word is not heard if you're not rich!" And Rhema and her companions such as Angus Buchan bellow, "Arise! Claim South Africa… Claim the world! We'll drag heaven to earth by our authority! The river of anointing is here; every kingdom on earth and every person on earth are coming to Christ right now! We need seed-faith! Test and prove God, and He'll make you rich!"
However, Jesus Himself said that this world is destined for the fire after He had taken His true, believing body to heaven; and His Kingdom is NOT from here; it has no such origin, source, or Kingdom-Now aspirations, (2 Pt. 3:10-14; Jn. 18:36.)
Robert Schuler's 'high esteem'
Instead of teaching Jesus' commandment to 'love our neighbors as we love ourselves,' and to 'be pilgrims in search of a heavenly city,' Christians of both genders focus on 'wealth, health, happiness, and prosperity here on earth!' Sinful self-promotion and a 'high' self-esteem, which promise popularity and financial success, make bestsellers of Christian books.
These humanist male and female witches even teach their followers to deify themselves, instead of deifying God. And so, televangelist mason Robert Schuler preached, "One is in hell when he has lost his self-esteem… Jesus knew His worth, His success fed His self-esteem… He suffered the cross to sanctify His self-esteem. And He bore the cross to sanctify your self-esteem… Nothing has been… more counterproductive to the evangelism enterprise than the often crude… unchristian strategy of attempting to make people aware of their lost and sinful condition!"
Instead of doing so much harm to the body of Christ, this masonic preacher should simply have read the New Testament and in fact, the whole Bible!
Ascetics: "Christians must be nobodies!"
While humanist teachings focus on promoting the sinful 'self,' some denominations such as Roman Catholicism tend to forget that Jesus did indeed command us to love our neighbors as ourselves (and not 'more than ourselves') – though, of course, not in sinful selfishness. Self-mutilating cults believe that sin is seated in the physical body, and therefore the body itself is evil. (The Bible teaches that together, the bodies of Scripturally born again believers is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Thus, our bodies can never be evil!) As a result, they 'punish' their bodies by flogging themselves as 'penance' to pay for sin, and so on. The Bible does not refer to the human body as evil or sinful. When Scripture speaks of the 'sinful flesh,' it refers to the sinful soul, mind, or thought-patterns of man, which has to be crucified and dead to sin and transformed by the truth of Scripture, so that we may "know [and do] the perfect will of God," (Rom. 12:1-2.)
While the Roman Catholic papacy is living in utmost wealth and luxury, they taught the lower ranking priesthoods that Jesus commanded asceticism, [or self-denial as religious discipline, which adds to their 'salvation and holiness.'] Thus, Christian ascetics like 'mother' Theresa, as religious observance, lived with minimal material comforts. This teaching polluted many traditional denominations with the thought that Jesus commanded His disciples to view themselves as 'nobodies.' These followers of Christianized pagan witchcraft subtly teach their followers to 'hate' themselves, as well as their lives here on earth. They draw on verses like, "He who loves his life will lose it… he who hates his life will keep it… I have been crucified to the world… I no longer live… We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren…"
In the context of Scriptural Truth, however, it is not we ourselves, (our physical bodies,) nor the world itself, nor our lives on earth, which we must hate. We must hate our sinful ways without Christ, and our selfish lusts for the sinful pleasures of the world. Therefore, we must be spiritually and emotionally "crucified" to our own sin and to the sinful enticements of the world! And yes, we have to lay down our lives for our 'neighbors,' or actually, be humbly submitted to God in everything Scriptural and Godly. We must place the best (and not sinful) interest of others above our own in all that will glorify God and promote His true Kingdom, as Biblical love for God must always be our highest priority. But we must shun idolatry and witchcraft against God, as well as the witches of both genders who pull our souls away from God to enslave us to the religious rule of Satan, (Rom. 6:6; 1 Pt. 2:19-22.)
Jesus forbade us to accommodate our neighbor's sin
Jesus did not say we must lay down our lives for our unrepentant neighbors and suffer under their sin, as only Jesus is the Savior of sinners. If our neighbors continually reject the Perfect Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus in their place, surely, all our tainted, human sacrifices will be worthless and can never contribute to the salvation and redemption of any soul. None of us are christs. We can never save anyone's soul. We are not the Holy Spirit. We never convince anyone of sin, salvation, and God's eternal judgment. We can warn and teach and pray, but if an unrepentant sinner decides to reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit, (as not even God violates our free will and nullifies our personal choices,) none of our tears, pleas and sacrifices will convince that person. God changes us by convincing us that we must submit to Him completely. Then, we must willing work with Him in obedience to His true Word in the leading of the Holy Spirit. Without doing our part, God will not do His part.
Therefore, Jesus' commandment to love our neighbors does not suggest that God protects and promotes our neighbor by excluding us, or by ignoring our personal needs. Jesus never suggested that His disciples must love their neighbors 'more' than themselves in the sense that our neighbors are everything and we are nothing but their servants and slaves, whom they can use and abuse as they please.
Jesus forbade us to accommodate our neighbors' idolatry and witchcraft, consisting of disobedience to the True Word of God, (Lev. 19:17-18.) Jesus also forbade us to believe that we must suffer so that they can flourish in laziness, self-love of ease, and disrespect for God and our personhood, (1 Cor. 7:23.) That is not 'laying down our lives for our brothers!' Those who selfishly block and hinder our emotional and physical well-being are in fact endangering our eternal lives. For example, Jesus commanded us to give freely for the extension of His true Kingdom and to help where we can glorify God, but Paul expressly declared in 2 Ths. 3:1-15, "We command you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you withdraw from everyone who lives disorderly and not according to the [Word…] We command you this: If anyone will not work [because he is a lazy sponger and exploiter,] neither shall he eat!"
So, if we are feeding, serving, harboring and waiting upon lazy, love of ease spongers and abusers of God, His people, and His Word, we are helping them to commit idolatry and witchcraft, and we are thereby also committing witchcraft! The Matthew Henry Commentary says, "Christ is to be served and obeyed without limitation or reserve. The servant of Christ should be at the absolute command of no other master besides himself, should serve no man any further than is consistent with their duty to him. No man can serve two masters. You have been bought with a price (the blood of Jesus) out of slavery. Do not again become enslaved, (Rom. 6:16-23!)"
This reeks of legalism!
It is a fact that we must forgive those who sin against us, but in the case of serious abuse, God has given us clear Scriptural steps to follow before we reach this final point of resolve. Is it therefore Scriptural to advise those who have suffered abuse to "simply forgive and forget" – and then also to add, "You must not even think about what others have done to you ever again; for if you do, God will not forgive your sin and you will lose your own salvation?"
Why, this reeks of loveless legalism and selfish disinterest!
How can any seriously wounded mortal ever attain such a high religious, and in fact, unscriptural standard? Without fostering self-pity and self-destructive self-absorption, one may ask, "What happened to the other statutes that pertain to the Law of Love, such as, 'Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ?' 'Weep with those who weep… Abhor what is evil…'"
After all, how do meager humans, whom God had created with emotions, memory, thoughts, reason, and a sense of self-preservation, NOT mourn, weep, and cry out for help and deliverance from their constant oppressors? How do they 'simply forgive and forget' all inhumane abuse, when it escalates from weeks into months – years; and even continues for a whole lifetime? These questions, left unanswered, (and we are going to find the answers,) would confuse and discourage even the most sincere disciples of Christ, and cause them to doubt the saving, healing love of God.
If we were able to 'earn' our unmerited salvation through our supposed ability to simply forgive and forget even the worst abuse against us without ever thinking about it again, our salvation wouldn't be free at all, would it?
The danger of 'foolish faith'
Some passive victims of abuse believe they have to do nothing at all to escape their abusers and to call them to account for their crimes against humanity. They think once they have petitioned God to deal with their abusers, they may ignore the abuse because they 'will trust God' to save their abusers' souls and stop the abuse supernaturally. Of course God can do all this, but He has given us brains to assess our situations, and then, as far as humanly possible, to understand, obey, and follow His Scriptural directives to resolution!
God gives His Holy Spirit to those who obey Him [and do His will,] (Acts 5:32.) To make up our own 'solutions of faith' is idolatry and witchcraft, (1 Sam. 15:22-23!) Our disobedience in following His 'Staff' and 'Rod,' (the leading of His Spirit and the commandments of His Word,) may result in prolonged and unresolved issues in our lives. God will always be the God of miracles. However, to expect Him to do His part in dealing with abuse supernaturally, while we refuse to do our part and follow His commandments on a physical level, is foolish faith, (James 2:19-20.)
Jesus commanded in Mt. 10:23, "When they persecute [endanger, harm or abuse] you in this city, [house, family, fellowship…] flee to another…" If Jesus' commandments are not functional, He would not have given them. So, while believing and trusting in God's guidance and wisdom, let us be practical. Yes, we will have to suffer for the truth of God's Word, and we will be oppressed for His sake. However, Jesus did not command us to endure unrelenting abuse and forgive our abusers 'unconditionally,' while they continue their unrepentant destruction on our souls, bodies, and lives. Our lives and souls are precious to Jesus and to us. While we have to focus on eternal life in heaven and live our lives to glorify God, we also have to remember that we will never have another life on this side of the grave.
If you are not suffering to glorify God and to further the truth of His Word, then flee! Jesus commanded in Mt. 10:14; 23-26, "Whoever will not receive you nor hear [My] words, when you depart from that house, [family, church] or city, shake off the dust from your feet [as a testimony that they will have no excuse on Judgment Day...] When they persecute you in this city, [family or church,] flee to another…"
Always remember that our submission to unrepentant abusers and their sinful tactics can never be God's directive. We must never willingly become the slaves of men, as true believers are the blood-bought saints of Christ! (Rom. 6:16-23.)
Here is what Melinda Fish wrote in 'Restoring the Wounded Woman,' "Jesus laid down His life at Calvary; no man took it from Him. [But when the Pharisees tried to stone Him beforehand,] He 'hid Himself' and 'eluded their grasp,' (Jn. 8:59; 10:39.) Jesus would not allow Himself to be needlessly abused… [When in untimely persecution,] do what Jesus did: Hide yourself. Elude your abuser's grasp..."
Fight back; say "No!"
Why is it so hard to say "no" when people use, abuse, openly manipulate, mistreat and defraud us? Psychologists reckon it's because 'no' is the first word we hear from our parents, and we 'process that negativity' by never using it in our vocabulary. [What garbage!] I believe we were indoctrinated by abusing parents, teachers, and clergy not to 'hurt' anyone's feelings by saying "no" to maltreatment, misuse, enticement, and unreasonable demands. Our inability to say 'no' to abuse centers on an inflated ego, (image is everything: no one should think 'bad' of us,) and our inherent desire for human acceptance — even at any price. All forms of manipulation, peer pressure, and sale tactics exploit our 'inability' to say "no!" Thus, abusers of all kinds do not take 'no' for an answer. Among these are drug addicts, beggars, conmen, manipulative spouses, lazy and sponging relatives and neighbors, spoilt children, manipulative parents, fake friends, false clergymen, and other dangerous perverts.
They know that the well-mannered public does not want to 'offend' anyone.
However, to submit to harassment and other ungodly demands goes beyond reason and morality. Why would anyone remain polite and submissive to, say, a beggar who refuses a job but harasses you, underestimates your intelligence, disrespects your personal space, and tries to con you out of your hard-earned money? After all, God sternly commanded, "If anyone will not work [because of laziness and love of ease,] then neither shall he eat!"
People, who say "no" to misuse, molestation and other forms of abuse are often labeled as 'stingy' or 'nasty.' Yet, even children at an accountable age can and do say "no!" and flee from abuse if circumstance permits! The reason why most people allow harassment and exploitation, is because they do not want others to think 'less' of them, and so, they find it extremely embarrassing to say "NO." Many fear conflict and rejection to the point where they would submit to almost anything. (I.e.: We wouldn't have had friends at kindergarten if we didn't allow them to break our crayons, would we?) God requires of us to say "no!" to evil. Jesus commanded, "Take heed, [watch out,] that no man deceives you!" (1 Cor. 15:33; Mt. 24:4; Rom. 6:6-23.) Do not believe, follow, obey, fear, or pity immoral family, friends, and other abusers, (Read Isa. 8:12-20.) Believe and obey Jesus. Say "NO!" to false doctrine, lies, false authority, and manipulation. Say "No!"' to misuse, humiliation, hurt, slander, violence, and verbal and physical abuse. Say "No!"' to those who defraud you of your money and human dignity. Say "NO!" to those who make you their servant while they never move a finger to help anyone else. And above all, say "No!" to those who ensnare you in sin and draw you away from the Lord!

Colorful Maine Sunset Photography
To get the best sunset colors, photographers choose their locations very carefully. The beach sand has to be just right, the slope has to be just enough to allow for smooth drain-in and drain-out of the waves and above all, there has to be interesting foreground elements.
Several Maine beaches are just right for great sunset photography. While some have interesting foreground, many have exciting back drops for that one of a lifetime shot.

Santa Cruz City Redevelopment Agency rises above budget nightmares and other cultural anomalies
The Santa Cruz City Redevelopment Agency probably won't wash your car. It's highly unlikely that they'll make you dinner or mow your lawn or clean out your rain gutters. But you may have to forgive them that, because they're seriously busy doing everything else.
On the surface, the agency's mission is pretty simple. Like other redevelopment agencies throughout California, it exists as a government entity to create and support economic development programs and good urban planning, to eliminate blight, and to create affordable low-income housing. But in practice, that explanation of its impact on the economic and cultural life of Santa Cruz is about as appropriate as saying that water is kind of wet, or that the Super Bowl is somewhat important to football fans. It approaches the truth, but the scale is all wrong.
"Really, the Santa Cruz that we have today wouldn't look the same without the Redevelopment Agency," says former mayor and current City Councilmember Ryan Coonerty. "It rebuilt downtown. The beautification that's gone on in the Eastside—that's really made the Eastside come alive—is a product of the Redevelopment Agency. Our affordable housing is made possible by them. So is the Hope Services crew that cleans up downtown."
The Tannery Arts Center was also the brainchild of the agency. So are the long-awaited upgrades to the Highway 1/Highway 9 intersection, the improvements to the San Lorenzo River levees, and the Nuevo Sol housing project, which provides housing for chronically homeless individuals, just to name a few more. The agency also assisted in bringing in the new modern art sculptures in downtown Santa Cruz. They've spruced up building facades all over town. They even made sure the lampposts and the street signs on Pacific Avenue are the same shade of green, just because it looks better. In short, Coonerty says, "it's amazing the number of projects that the Redevelopment Agency sponsors that touch people's lives on a daily basis."
Founded in 1955, the agency's original mission was to rebuild downtown following the devastating Great Flood. It was essentially inactive for the next few decades until 1989, when it was reformed, ironically enough, to rebuild downtown once again following the Loma Prieta Earthquake, which destroyed nearly 70 percent of that area. With the full name of the Santa Cruz Economic Development and Redevelopment Department, and under the guidance of Executive Director Bonnie Lipscomb, its mission has been to make Santa Cruz a better place for citizens and businesses alike. "We have very specific goals and objectives," Lipscomb notes. "And we're trying to leverage the limited dollars we have towards making projects happen in Santa Cruz."
But in a time of county- and state-wide recession, making development happen is no mean feat. And it got a lot tougher earlier this month, when state legislators announced they would cut $3.7 million of agency funding, more than half of its annual budget, almost all of which is garnered through property taxes. But Coonerty says, "We haven't given up on the money yet. We believe it was illegally taken. It's our money. It's not the state's money to spend. They just happen to be in the best position to steal it." The city hopes that a recent lawsuit against the state, as well as expected stimulus money from the federal government, will go a long way toward making up the difference.
But department employees will freely admit that it's been a difficult year for Santa Cruz. "We were definitely impacted by the recession," says Peter Koht, economic development coordinator. "Unemployment in the city in April was about 8.6 percent, 13 percent in county, 26 percent in Watsonville. A lot of people suffered and got laid off. A lot of my friends lost their jobs."
Coonerty adds that the city has been "devastated."
"We cut programs that we could never have imagined cutting: the Teen Center, the pool, the Beach Flats community center," he says. "The massive cuts to local social service providers, the furloughs– it's been absolutely brutal. And the economy's been brutal to our local companies."
Surprisingly, it's not all bad. "We were remarkably resilient," Koht says. "We lost businesses we cared about. But we've also used this time to regroup. We've had a lot of wins in a very difficult year macro-economically."
Coonerty agrees. "I do think that we have programs and infrastructure in place that made the fall a little less steep and will make our recovery faster. In that way, I'm optimistic."
Koht sees a huge amount of potential in technology-based businesses; he points out that there are already a surprising number operating here in town. "We're really excited about start-ups in Santa Cruz," he notes. "We've got a long history of innovation and entrepreneurship here. Your camera phone is from here. Your GPS and your iPhone are from here. Your wetsuit, your Bluetooth headset, Odwalla, commercial Unix, they were all invented here. For a little town of 50,000, we've got this rich history of inventors. As an economic development agency, we can support that ecosystem … What we want to do is foster the growth of jobs that have the highest wages and the lowest environmental footprint."
Koht also points out that the biggest challenge is "identifying and retaining" talent and capital that currently flows to tech jobs in San Jose and Silicon Valley.
"We have about 20,000 vehicle trips per day to San Jose from Santa Cruz County," he says. "That labor force is highly educated, highly motivated and creating the digital economy. We'd like to create conditions such that the jobs they currently drive to in San Jose can also exist here."
It might seem odd that the Redevelopment Agency's focus is split between small moves like painting building façades and huge projects like rebuilding the Tannery, and encouraging high-tech business ventures. But city officials say that each of these things, in their own way, contributes to making Santa Cruz unique.
Coonery puts it this way: "I think our goal has to be to create a community where people can live, work, shop, raise their kids, and retire. That's the definition of a sustainable community. And I think the redevelopment agency is the way that we're going to support many of the projects that make that possible. It's the little things that make the big, big difference, and the agency has played no small role."

Domenic Jejeune has just been appointed Police Inspector in their new home town, Saltmarsh. He'd prefer to be a birdwatcher, but when you are naturally good at solving crimes you can't walk can away, can you?
Dundurn and Edelweiss allowed to me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published May 13th, so make a note.
I chose this book for three reasons: I like birding, I like learning about other countries and their environment, and I like meeting new crime detectives. You learn a little bit about all of those by reading this story.
Domenic's first case here appears to be suicide. However, the dead man is wearing odd clothing, chains, and has left no note behind. Domenic's style is to use his brain to figure out why and how this happened. (Similar to Christie's Poirot.) While he's gathering hints and talking to everyone who knew the man, his partner is gathering evidence the old fashioned way: Looking for it on the ground.
Domenic thinks he might have his killer figured out. Imagine his astonishment when his suspected killer becomes the next victim! He has two main players still left as suspects and he knows they are not telling the whole truth. The professor is the hardest to crack, but he finally tells what he knows about the death. Combined with that knowledge and the fact that the saltmarsh is dying from contamination, Domenic is then willing to set a trap to see if his "bird" gets caught.
Domenic has to work with local politicians, gossip and innuendo, and move the lines of police work a little bit to solve this case. I was surprised by the identity of the actual murderer. This was a complex case of birders against industry, a bit of blackmail here and there, and a certain amount of apathy. Following the line of inquiry took some doing, but Domenic made it. Why not follow him on his journey and see how it turns it out?
