Hello Filipe,
I want to be this dog :) but can I have a different color umbrella? Pink is just not for me :) Maybe for underwear is okay :)
Very nice summer time relaxing atmosphere, the light is strong but you managed well to capture good depth and detials. Even the small people up on the cliff and fishing and those in teh water too.

Ola Filipe,
Dog-food advertisment, rather than siesta for him, probably too hot on the beach - but than, I see an impressive cliff, typical to the Portugal coastline, scaled by the man & fisherman standing on.
The red parasol contrast superbly with blue sky.
Nice POV taken.
Bom fim de semana,
cornejo (61504) 2012-08-04 4:19
Olá Filipe, grande imagem para mostrar a vida deste cão, eu amo o penhasco rochoso contra o céu com algumas figuras humanas que dão a escala. Muito bom POV, nitidez, profundidade, luz e cor. Trabalho muito bom e agradável muito bem feito, meu amigo, meus parabéns. Tfs.
Boa tarde e fim de semana feliz.
Com os melhores cumprimentos e melhores votos.

Ola Filipe,
Great picturesque place perfect for a summer day. Next week I'll be in Lisbon and I will visit one or two beaches around.
Enjoy the weekend.
holmertz (89156) 2012-08-04 7:16
Hello Filipe,
This is a very catchy and appealing photo showing that not everyone enjoys a hot day on the beach.
Well seen, thanks for sharing.
ourania (51103) 2012-08-04 8:14
Hello Filipe,
a very well spotted and composed scene that captures the character and atmosphere of this beach is a delightful way. Apart from the lovely eye catching colours and theme of the foreground, I also like the clearly captured distant view of the rocks, the fisherman and swimmers in the sun. The ambiguous figure of the man standing in the middle of the rock looking down at the beach is a great addition to the composition. I love the effective emphasis on the light and colours. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
abmdsudi (85843) 2012-08-04 12:14
Hi Filipe
Nice to have u back again and what a capture! A nice beachscape which has such enormous impact and what a show of striking and stinging vivid red! The image has such wonderful clarity, sharpness and bags of other details to attract the eyes. A well taken lively shot with good human interaction and that clever but lazy doggy! :)) Congrats, TFS
Best regards

Olá Filipe!
Já estás de volta?
Parece que até o chapéu é só para ele:)! Bem captada! Gosto das cores e do contraste entre aquele pessoal todo lá ao fundo e o cão que dorme calmamente:)!

JOLIE SCENE, ah il savent ou il sont bien nos amis les animaux, ce chien a bien choisi sa place a l'ombre et sous le parasol rose avec la marque peut être de ces croquettes!!! j'imagine ma chienne pas sur la plage mais plus souvent dans l'eau :-)

Olá Filipe,
esse sim é o verdadeiro cachorro manso, além de saber bem aproveitar a vida, mais que muitos humanos, que são ditos como "racionais". Boas cores e um belo flagrante.
Parabéns e Abraço,
mkamionka (56819) 2012-08-07 4:32
Hi Filipe,
excelent idea for the title. It seems to create a contrast with what one may expect from it and what we see in your photo. Beautiful place with pleasant summer light and colors.
lousat (126471) 2012-08-07 5:06
Hi Filipe,there is a sponsor of the dog on the beach umbrella too..ehehe..this is really perfect to take a situation like this! Magnificent idea,the dog is on the shadow,it don't need tanning..ehehe..great composition,details and colors,and a touch of fun too.Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano
sacimar (37761) 2012-08-09 3:28

Bonjour, cher Filipe,
Ah bah voilà un chien bien protégé ! il bénéficie d'une ombre bienfaisante !
Une photographie très amusante et fort bien réalisée.
Bravo pour la réactivité.
Très bonne journée.
clever idea for this composition
this dog is very lucky indeed
having this umbrella at the beach
dynamic contrast between the
blue sky,the rose umbrella and
the rest landscape
nice work
CanmoreKevin (2111) 2012-08-09 17:58
I would choose to be where the dog is. Fun capture. The distant people give some scale and depth. The pink and white sand give some great contrast.
Hi Filipe,
nice dog in fg taking a nap in the shadows and beautiful water and cliff in bg.
maloutim (13617) 2012-08-10 11:18
Good evening Filipe,
I like this photo for its humour and the different contrasts !
Well ! A dog's life is supposed to be hard, but it doesn't seem to be the case here :-))
I like the colour contrasts between the white sand, the beautiful sea and the dark rocks .
The bright pink parasol adds the real holiday touch.
The inclusion of swimmers, climber or fisherman especially adds the necessary dynamism which we would have missed if it had only been for the sleeping dog !
Mind you, he is probably working and keeping the place safe for his owners :-)
TFS and have a good weekend.
Kind regards.
jhm (198499) 2012-08-11 0:37
Hello Filipe,
Smart dogs life, he know that is best in the shadow.

Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
lakshmip1949 (19081) 2012-08-12 19:43
Hello Filipe,
A funny shot where this dog is nicely enjoying its nap under the shade in the beach. I like the relaxed atmosphere. It is not even bothered by the people. The pink umbrella makes a nice color contrast against the black color. The view is spectacular.
TopGeo (38220) 2012-08-13 7:19
Hello Filipe! A tranquil landscape of serenity and simplicity with the note that gives a few but very charming way! Wonderful place with beach and rocks gave a superb mood and humorous!The red parasol contrast superbly with blue sky and rocks. Well done. TFS.
Warm regards
mirosu (16313) 2012-08-13 10:13
Hello Filippe,
Nice composition with excellent color & light contrast. The deep depth of field is perfect. The great the blue sky also lends a lovely contrast to the scene. IMO the crop, left & top, is a bit tight. More space around the umbrella would be nice. Well done.
jlbrthnn (76041) 2012-08-14 8:12
Olá Filipe,
Eu aprecio o seu humor, ea composição muito bem feito. A localização é excelente. É muito bem visto, e de excelente qualidade. Bravo.
Bom dia

Hola Filipe.
Simpatica y excelente composicion, preciosa la vista de esta playa con ese acantilado tan escarpado como fondo, la sombrilla da un bonito toque de color, el perro ciertamente no podia buscar mejor sitio...
Muy buena la luminosidad y la gran nitidez. Magnifico trabajo.
Saludos cordiales.
P/D. Espero que tus vacaciones por los Picos de Europa, resultasen perfectas, yo tambien he estado por el norte, en el Pais Vasco, espero que veremos magnificas fotos de ese viaje.

Hello Filipe
Wise dog indeed, especially when wearing a black fur coat!
On top of that it chose the more-colorful umbrella that composes an attractive eye-catcher!
ciakgiak (30) 2012-08-21 3:18
Ciao Filipe,
Bravo, è molto bella questa immagine nella quale sei riuscito a coniugare la dolcezza di un momento in cui il cane si crogiola all'ombra, coi colori e la grafica data dall'ombrellone colorato, splendida immagine!
Un caro abbraccio

A very appealing photo with great effect of the colour combination. The dog seeking shelter for the sun in the shadow is a nice poi here, and we can really feel the heat. Great work:) TFS. Have an nice evening.

I like the funny side of this image!

I liked this simple yet beautiful composition.Striking pink colour of the umbrella contrasts very well with the rock formations.Good idea to capture a beautiful dog hiding in the shade of an umbrella under the sizzling summer sun.TFS and best regards.
maria-v1981 (10966) 2012-11-15 2:53

Night Realization Tour of Greece – Motto: «Now you do the work..»Thanks to my job as a flight attendant bringing passengers to ancient Greece, I had the unique opportunity to meet the Sahaja Yoga team there. We met at the museum of the Acropolis in Athens and we treated each other like brothers and sisters. George had sparked a «realization tour» and sent an e mail to anyone interested in the world. I met Alex and Marina from Russia with whom I practised speaking my 650 words of Russian I learned from my husband. I also met Tatjana, a Russian yogi visiting from London gushing in Russian about the tremendous Vibrations she experienced visiting the Acropolis on the hill overlooking Athens.She was bubbling with joy. When my vocabulary ran out, we continued sharing stories in English. Silvia and Annbrith were visiting from Sweden and casually invited people in the streets to receive their «experiment with truth».George from Greece (who has toured the world for spreading sahaj meditation) taught me how to "give realizations" = awaken the innate sacred energy, in basically a minute or two.
It starts with the desire of the seeker to wake up their own Kundalini energy from inside, and the yogi is silently in a State of Thoughtless Awareness while the seeker opens the hands and .. then everything else is left up to the divine. We 'do' nothing. We are not the doer, but we are the transmitter.
Evening Meditation at the Cave-Prison of SocratesWe visited the cave where Socrates (one of the 10 primordial gurus) was imprisoned. Once we sat down on the benches in front of the cave and surrendered our thoughts, the energy flowed so strong as the land there was emitting clear, cool vibrations.
What Germany Needs to "Improve Situation" ?! Frankfurt Seeker finds The Answer by Socrates' CaveIn the quiet twilight, a lone backpacker arrived to visit the site, and George and Ioannis asked him if he wanted to feel the divine energy inside and receive the yoga (union with the divine). He was very open and closed his eyes and sat with us a long time.The rest of us meditated to keep the vibrations flowing.Time stood still and it was so peaceful for all of us.I asked him afterward if he felt anything and he said he definately did. He was living in Frankfurt, originally from Hamburg and he said in broken but thoughtful English that he felt that it was something that Frankfurt, Germany needed to… "improve the situation." In his own words, he felt that this could improve the «vibrations» of where he lived. A true seeker from Germany came to see where Socrates – the ancient great seeker and primordial guru! – was imprisoned, and he experienced his own realization!We were all very happy for him and he was so peaceful, like he recognized the truth in the whole experience.
Daily Meditation @ 4AM by AcropolisIoannis, another sahaj brother living in Sweden, was the other «greek language qualified» of our team. I learned a lot from talking and meditating with them all. After the Socrates cave, we climbed up above under a tree and meditated with a view of the Acropolis lit up at night. The vibrations were so good there.George told us that Uncle Theodore spent a few years coming to that spot every day to meditate at 4pm. George also relayed the information that foot soaks in salt water daily was the key to cleansing our chakras and improving our ability to feel vibrations.
Let's Pause for Omar ConnectionWe realized we had a friend/sahaj brother in common from Toronto named Omar, who is very funny and a very talented musician (check here his Djembe Drum performance with Ahilan at Tabla:
Heart Beats on Drums – Video (click!)
– that was a meditation exercise for Heart Chakra at our Sahaj Valentine last year in Halton (actually at Burlington class). Everyone just loved it!
Back to Greece: Next, some of us bought roasted corn from some vendors and we ended up having them interested to try sahaj meditation on the spot. In conclusion we "gave realization" (by now everyone is familiar with this sahaj term, isn't it?!) to them and to some curious spectators as well. 🙂 Alexandros from Greece joined our group at the outdoor restaurant shortly afterward. The tour got put on pause as we ate delicious greek food (we were sampling a souvlaki, mousaka and haloumi cheese dinner ..hmm) and shared the dreams we had of Shri Mataji this year. Hopefully George will add his dream to the comments below for all of us to enjoy.
Paula's Dream with Shri Mataji becomes the Motto for Realize Greece Experience: «Now you do the work..»My dream was that Shri Mataji came to visit one of our (Halton yogis) homes during one of our sahaj potluck dinners. She was sitting on a beige couch socializing casually and I wanted so much to bow and do namaste to my guru to welcome her and show my respect. When I got down on the floor and my head touched the ground,Shri Mataji got up and put her whole body over me.
She was as light as the lightest blanketbut I could feel her presence and knew she was helping clear my chakras.A long time after, I got up and sat with her on the couch.She was joyful but seemed a bit tired.
She looked at me and said «Now you do the work…» and Smiled.
After dinner we walked down towards Keramikas and felt some vibrations coming from drumming and African dancing in a square off the path. We watched a multi-cultured group dancing and then gave bandhans to help us approach them and give them some flyers about free sahaja yoga classes and information about the website. One by one many of them received their realization. Interestingly, two guys from Afghanistan were happy and curious to receive the yoga experiment. The Afghan who was translating for the first man did not want to stop feeling the flow, he just kept his eyes closed and his hands open smiling and saying how good he felt.
Every time we raised another person's Kundalini energy, ours spontaneously rose and became stronger every time.
Close to midnight, we walked further and Annbrith approached a woman from Somalia in traditional dress walking with groceries and asked her if she wanted to receive the energy inside. She dropped her grocery bags and I came to help. She closed her eyes immediately and opened her hands. Annbrith did a bandhan in her hands and raised her kundalini once. She opened her eyes and she started getting so excited, we continued raising her kundalini. I said, «what do you feel, do you feel it? Where?» And she made a motion sweeping upwards through her center and her eyes were so sparkly, she immediately recognized that something wonderful had happened! She surrendered so fast it took her 30 seconds to feel the connection with the divine energy! The language barrier was not a barrier at all. This was my favourite part of the night. She kept looking at the flyer, then us, and was so amazed, so happy and thanked us. We setup a poster with the subtle system in a park near a busy club district and continued to give realizations. Two sellers stopped to look at the poster and started telling each other to look at it. I asked one man from Bangledesh if he wanted to try it. He put down his table and goods and opened his hands. He did not open his eyes for a few peaceful minutes. He thankfully took a flyer. The others continued to give realizations late into the night as I left them around 1:30 am. I hugged everybody goodbye after this beautiful, bonding experience and I will never forget the time we spent Together spreading vibrations in Greece.
Right here this beautiful travel story reached to its end; Paula is a dear sister in our Halton sahaj family and there are many great stories with her. One can start here to find out 'Who is Paula?!'. Thanks go to Nicoleta as well, who visited Greece with a group of Romanian sahaja yogis almost in the same time with Paula and who enjoyed immensely their most welcoming and dynamic Greek brothers and sisters (in sahaj), as well the beautiful vibrations of this sacred land.

angles packed in a single page,while reading i got drenched with vibrations,the dream seemed to be such a joyous expression,,,,it were as if i was a part of ur group,,,thanks
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story of the dream and the trip experience to Greece. I just wanted to stay in the moment while reading..
So nice to see you sharing and expanding yourself Paula.
Just looking at the sahaja yogis in the photo I felt wonderful vibrations in Sahasrara. They are so blessed!
Amazingly, last week the same thought came into my mind: Nou you do the job!
I live in an Arabic country and give Self Realization with the attention only. It works most of the time.
"With the Attention"…
I understand…
that's wonderful…
Sahaja yoga in Greece is an inspiration to the rest of the world ! Wonderful to see all this happening so dynamically and the dream of Mother was very moving.
Thanks a lot for this sharing…
Dear Silvia, in which Arabic country are you living? also i live in an Arabic country (Lebanon)
Best Wishes
I feel so much joy and vibrations while reading this article and realy want to be a person to spread sahaj yoga and its vibrations to whole world,great Paula, loving you even more&more. Your dream is so beautiful and i can feel it.
May be I would never visit Greece, but this whole vibrated experience, specially about the cave prison has given a burning desire to go to Greece and visit all such places full of vibrations.
Amazing! 😀
Dear Paula,
As usual, this is a story full of vibrations and a message for all of us to start spreading Sahaj Yoga and do our Mother's work.
Thanks for sharing your dream and your visit to Greece. You have revived the light for Greece in their troubling times and hopefully it will catch fire.
Thanks and a lot of love
Dear Paula
This is a powerful story; thank you for sharing and providing many of us the inspriation to offer realizations where ever we go.
namaste !!
i´m very happy to belong to such a world family !!!
Wonderful experiences Paula, thank you for sharing them. The vibrations from your dream are amazing !!
Dear Paula, welcome back, hope you had a great time in India, you have opened up so much and flying like a free bird with Shri. Mataji's message, keep up the divine work.
Hi there cheers for this. Awesome write-up. I'm a brand new reader to your blog
and so I thought I'd just add a quick thankyou.
Thank you everybody and Kenya too. I am sure you will have your own amazing stories to tell soon. Now as Greece is the Nabhi, the manipur of the whole world, I return to Greece and asking everyone to give bandhans (positive energy/prayers/protection) for Syrian refugees arriving in droves. I have a very strong desire to help.

Return Of W. De Rijk, The
Plus, it's technology's fault. Without technology, I wouldn't have been able to spend so much intimate and, ultimately, inappropriate time with the film. By the way, I've seen every conceivable kind of film print of '2001', from 16mm flat, to 35mm internegative, to a cherry camera negative 70mm in the screening room at Warner Bros, and I'm telling you, none of them look as good as a Blu-Ray played on a 'Pioneer Elite Plasma Kuro' monitor, and while you're cleaning up your spit, look over that sentence, let me also say I believe Stanley Kubrick would have embraced the current crop of digital cameras, because from a visual standpoint, he was obsessed with two things: Absolute fidelity to reality-based light sources, and image stabilization. Regarding the former, the increased sensitivity without resolution loss allows us to really capture the world as it is, and regarding the latter, post-2001 SK generally shot matte perf. film (Normally reserved for effects shots, because of it's added steadiness) all day, every day, something which digital capture makes moot. Pile on things like, never being distracted by weaving, splices, dirt, scratches, bad lab matches during changeovers, changeovers themselves, bad framing and focus exacerbated by projector vibration, and you can see why I think he might dig digital.
My one gigantic issue with this transfer...
Is that you can see, in the 'dawn of man sequence', the cross-hatched patterns of the front projection screen in several shots. This is inexcusable. I never saw these patterns in any film prints, this would never have gotten past the polaroid-happy SK and any transfer in which these patterns are visible, no matter how your monitor/TV is set up, is technically fucked and completely wrong. I hate saying that about my good friends at WB, especially since the WB remaster of 'Citizen Kane' is literally a revelation, but on the other hand the 'All The President's Men' Blu-Ray is a disappointment, but on the other hand they did remaster and release a beautiful 'End Of The Road' disc, so...

I've watched Kubrick's "2001" several times over the years. I've always found the director's films chilly, with scant human warmth. As far as this particular editor goes, I've always felt the FE site gives him a free pass. Still, someone (Ebarto? Col Hutty? Ric Olie?) suggested I give this reedit a whirl.
Video - 1280 X 720p AVC. Hate saying this, but this looks better than my DVD. Most of the editing is fine. I have never had many issues with this editor's visual work.
Audio - 160 kbps AAC. 2 channels. No subs. This opened with moments of ambiant droning that Soderbergh is so fond of. I feared he had wiped the soundtrack as he had on Raiders. No. Audio returned to the original track. Dialogue clear.
Narrative - This has been altered. Updated, if you prefer. Much has been cut, some I noticed, some I did not. While streamlined, the pace still plods. Not necessarily in a bad way. This captures the ennui of lengthy isolation of deep space travel. HAL has a stronger role in this, and often seems a witness of pre-dawn man continuing to the star child. Is this edit better? I don't know - it is over sooner so that will be a plus for many.
Enjoyment - Oh, same as before. Whenever this airs at a local theater, I attend. I have a Wow reaction about as often as I walk out annoyed. I applaud Soderbergh's video restoration work on this, as well as ditching redundant or unnecessary sections. I have enjoyed this more any of his other edits.

I love "2001" as it is, but I can agree its pacing can test your patient. This was a really good way to streamline the narrative and get to HAL faster. What I didn't like was the obsession with HAL, showing flashes of him (and Bowman's eye) early on. As well, I really don't understand why the echo effect was added to some of HAL's dialogue. I almost turned it off because of that. I would really only recommend this for hardcore fans of either Kubrick or Soderbergh's fanedits.

Foreword: I haven't seen the original in sometime, which I prefer for watching edits and I also didn't review the changes (log) ahead of watching, which I also prefer. I looked at the edit list back when I downloaded the edit, but I like to not know what I'm walking into; I don't watch an edit for a few months or more after downloading it.
Additional Note: I have seen a few other FanEdits recently.
What I liked: You kept the feeling of the original but made it less boring. Your edits felt seamless.
What I didn't: Not much, but it didn't add a ton for me, but I feel you could watch this edit never seeing the original and talk to other people about the movie still.
Overall: If you hate 2001, then maybe check this out, but if you've never seen it or want to re-watch it I would recommend checking this edit out. This edit sits alongside the original very well. I think you still leave the movie with, if not the same, a similar feeling as the original. Well done.
Extra: Keep up the good work! Maybe next time you re-encode/work on this you can use H265 for some added compression, just FYI.
User Review
Just to be clear I'm not a fan of '2001'. It's the only Kubrick film I don't love. I've probably only watched it once and have tried to watch it many more times, but the skull-crushing-tedium of the movie usually has me swicthing it off within the first hour. The good thing about this edit is that it drastically trims the slow opening, which allowed me to sit through '2001' for a second time...
Audio/Video Quality: 8
For the small size of the file, and the compression for streaming, the encode is pretty great looking.
Visual Editing: 9
Okay like I've said, I'm not massively familiar with the source but for me the editing was invisible. Most of the soul destroyingly boring parts of the first act are gone (The discussion on the red chairs / a stewardess walking very, very, VERY slowly etc) but a few bits of pointless time wasting are still included like a talk about sandwiches. I'm sure in a pre-moon-landing 1968 all of the "life-in-space" stuff must have been mind-blowing but it's now post 1977, so get on with the bloomin' plot already! Thankfully this edit is much more plot focused. I've got to knock a point off, as I found the constant cutting back to HAL's eye began to grate after a while IMO.
Audio Editing: 9
Almost all seemless but there is a wierd little bit in the middle where all of HAL's lines have a massive echo on them. I'm not sure if this was the source, a creative choice, or an error but whatever the cause, my ears did not enjoy it.
Narrative: 8
The narrative is so much stronger in this edit. All the plot elements, as well as the philosophical stuff is kept intact and even strengthened by the surrounding clutter being trimmed back. Sadly the middle act is still patience testingly slow and the new economy of the first act only shows this up more.
Enjoyment: 7
A '7' is big improvement for me on this movie. I might even watch it again and makes me think more even harsher edits of '2001' would be possible and welcome. I reccomend this for fans and non-fans alike as the creative edits in the first part are impressive regardless of wether you think they are warranted.

Expert, Blair Whitmarsh, PhD, dean of human kinetics and athletics at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, Canada shares how to reduce negativity and boost your fitness confidence.
Success breeds success. Self-efficacy (sometimes called self-confidence) comes most critically from personal accomplishments. In a new workout situation, reflect on times when you've been successful in other activities, and use that as a strong indicator for future success.
Here's a tip: Make a list of your past successes and keep it with you in your gym bag or workout journal and refer to it when you need it. Add to it whenever you overcome an obstacle or challenge, even if it's not fitness-related.
Also, write down your plan for what you will do when you have a slip-up (skipping a workout or veering from your clean diet), and have it at the ready.

Contrary to popular belief, Daryl Morey is not just a stats guy. Oh sure, the Rockets new GM has earned the nickname "Deep Blue." That kind of goes with the territory when you've got a Masters from MIT and a computer science degree from Northwestern. And when you do crazy, incomprehensible things such as mastering the NBA salary cap… in a single weekend. And when one of your former colleagues describes your brain as a "supercomputer." But—no, really – the man is more than a mere number cruncher.
The truth: Morey hated school and skipped a lot of classes. His friends — people like Oakland A's GM Billy Beane and sabermetric guru Bill James — say his people skills rank right up there with his gift for analytics. And for all the talk about Morey bringing Moneyball to the NBA, he's quick to remind you that the true key to team building lies in finding that perfect balance between the objective and the subjective.
But make no mistake, the 35-year-old Ohio-native is here because Rockets owner Les Alexander believes his team's significant investment in statistical analysis is the key to a future filled with banners and rings. So in this week's feature, "Rocket Science," we examine the man entrusted with the future of the franchise; his methods, motivation and, yes, his life beyond the stat sheet.

I spent a few days last week in Ottawa, and while I was there I read a rather boorish opinion piece in the Globe and Mail by Jeffrey Simpson, that newspaper's national affairs columnist. Mr Simpson took exception to the fact that, apparently, almost 90 per cent of Canadians believe they live in "the best country in the world."
Remember that last Wednesday was Canada Day and I was in the capital to celebrate our country's birthday—I was in no mood for Canada-bashing.
I happen to be one of those who does believe Canada is the best country in the world. If it is not, then I wish Mr. Simpson would tell us which country is. He cautions:
"There are many admirable aspects of Canada, and we exult in them around Canada Day. But the dangers of thinking of your country as the cat's meow are hubris and, worse still, a stubborn inability to look problems in the eye or to learn from others."
Apparently, in Mr. Simpson's world, loving one's country and believing it is the "cat's meow" prevents one from looking problems in the eye or learning from others. Who knew these were mutually exclusive?
He also writes:
"If there is one assertion around which almost all Canadians would rally, it is that the 'world needs more Canada.' The assumption supporting this assertion is that we Canadians are so worthy, morally upright and generally well-intentioned that the world would be a better place if it were more like, well, us. Which, in turn, leads Canadians to their deadliest sin: an unsinkable moral superiority."
Yes, relatively speaking, we Canadians are so worthy, morally upright and generally well-intentioned that the world would be a better place if it were more like us. And I write this without the slightest fear it will lead me to the "deadliest sin: an unsinkable moral superiority." We have an entire year to contemplate and improve upon our faults—the week of Canada Day is one time I don't feel I have to dwell on our weaknesses much less remind others of them.
Mr. Simpson then parades before us a laundry list of short-comings:
- worst record for emitting greenhouse-gas emissions
- flogging asbestos around the world
- clubbing baby seals and giving ourselves a black eye in Europe
- the tar sands
- blocking agricultural reform to preserve the protectionist supply management system during the Doha round of the world trade negotiations
- commitment of our troops to NATO's mission in Afghanistan
- a country excessively dependent not on brain power but on natural resources.
In conclusion, Mr. Simpson graciously acknowledges, "There are admirable aspects of being Canadian, and these have all been justly celebrated on Canada Day."
How sweet of him to give his permission for us to celebrate. But, like the party pooper he is, he just can't resist one final warning:
"…self-satisfaction can lead to a refusal to acknowledge weaknesses, to allow patriotism to curb critical thought, to refuse to face hard choices, and to cover a slow, albeit comfortable, slide toward international marginality and domestic mediocrity."
What a load of poppycock. Perhaps Mr. Simpson allows "patriotism to curb critical thought," but I very much doubt many of the rest of us do. As to the remainder of that paragraph: baloney!
Some of what Mr. Simpson had to say is accurate—though we did outlaw the clubbing of "baby" seals over 20 years ago. He is especially correct when he writes "there are admirable aspects of being Canadian…" But, of course, he never bothers to spell out any of our virtues, only our faults.
What convinced me that Jeffrey Simpson anti-Canada rant was ill-conceived was his lack of evidence that any other country in the world was better than Canada. Sure, we have faults, but they are fewer and less egregious than those of other countries. In comparison to most other countries in this imperfect world, Canada is an utopia.
Canada Day and the days of that week remind us of how lucky we are and give us the opportunity and reason to celebrate publicly the greatness of our land. How ungracious it is to choose that particular week to spell out the few things that make our country imperfect.
Mr. Simpson: if not Canada, then where?

Welcome to another edition of Fanfic Feature Friday! It's been a while, but I thought I'd try something new today with my first Fanfic Author Spotlight. Sometimes I'll stumble across a fantastic story, and when I check out the author's body of work I have the good fortune of discovering that the bulk of it is equally wonderful.
In this author spotlight, I intend to bring to you the authors I know that I can rely on for a good read no matter the length, fandom, or focus. They're the writers that have made me seek out specific characters, fandoms, and pairings, and who have set their own fanfiction trends purely by virtue of their storytelling skill and originality.
This week, the Author Spotlight is on MaryRoyale.
Found on fanfiction.net, her focus is mainly on Harry Potter fics. Her stories depart from standard monogamous and heteronormative standards, most of them featuring relationships with multiple partners and genders. They're easily readable, both the one-shots and the novel-length work. Aside from the great writing, her fics appeal to me as she writes mostly AU (alternate universe) stuff, and also plays around with tropes like time travel and soul bonds.
Waiting for her unfinished works to update is super difficult, but always worth it when a new chapter is posted. Most of her fics are Hermione-centric, which works well because of the characterization given in each story.
Behold, some of my favourite fics of hers!
Arx Domus Nigrae (AU, novel-length – incomplete)
There are legends among the pureblood families about Keepers-special witches who have the power to restore a fallen House. If any House needed a Keeper, it's the Ancient and Noble House of Black. Hermione/Multi (Cygnus, Orion, Sirius AND Regulus). Polyandry.
Really cool wizarding/pureblood lore. Features interesting relationship dynamics and a lot of Hermione learning new things.
The Lost Lupin (AU, novel-length – complete)
The Lupins fear Greyback's revenge will not stop with Remus, but might spread to his little sister Hermione. They make an unorthodox decision to protect their daughter without telling their son. Remus has been looking for his sister ever since. Time travel, AU, EWE, NON-CANON SHIPS (underline this bit 8,000 times), etc. Please see warnings.
Essentially the Potter-centric teen drama you didn't know you wanted, with some more serious undertones.
Desperate Measures (AU, novel-length – incomplete)
Cassiopeia Black wasn't the sort who was willing to just sit idly by while her House fell down around her. When Cassiopeia is given a Muggleborn witch orphaned by Death Eaters, she uses magical adoption to make the baby a true Black. Pureblood!Hermione. Slytherin!Hermione.
One of my favourite incarnations of Pureblood Hermione ever. Pureblood lore and interesting connections between the Blacks, the Malfoys, the Potters, and the Longbottoms.
That's all for now, be sure to pop by and leave MaryRoyale a review if you check out her stories!
Who are your favourite fanfic authors? Let me know in the comments below!

Well, goodbye 2012. It was nice knowing you!
It's been an exciting year for me. In the spring I set myself a goal of having 20 patterns available on Ravelry, which I achieved as the year drew to a close. I'll have 10 more coming out in February, which were finished some months ago – more on that soon.
Over the summer we published issue 50 of The Knitter, with a frankly bonkers 50 patterns, and redesigned the magazine.
My only regret was all that work meant I could only take a one week holiday while
Storm had 7 weeks at home before starting school.
I made some new friends, and got to know some others better.
My journey as a minimalist is now in its third year. At Christmas this meant having an emptied car driving home after the festivities, and actually being able to see out of the back window for a change! Being a minimalist doesn't mean all white interiors and a penchant for Philippe Starck (at least, not to me). It means fewer possessions, and more real life. Zen Habits and Becoming Minimalist are both great places to start if you're curious.
While letting go of possessions has felt relatively easy, one of my biggest challenges as a minimalist is reducing my commitments. For about four months over the summer my workload meant I barely had a moment to just 'be', and also resulted in much reduced blogging here.
So my goal for 2013 is to look at balance, say no a little, and have some more fun and get some more adventure in my life!
I'll have 2 pattern collections coming out this year, but first up is a very exciting trip to New York for Vogue Knitting Live.
In the meantime, here are my key moments of 2012. I hope you had a good one, and wish you all the best for 2013,
1) Storm starting school. And starting to read and write. Just wow.
2) Making new friends and renewing old bonds
3) The death of one of my oldest friends – in itself a terrible loss, but with some surprising silver linings.
4) Starting and finishing (!) quilts for my dad and Storm
5) Being able to call myself a designer – after 20 plus years of dreaming about it
6) Watching my husband launch his fledgling breadmaking business
7) Helping Storm learn to swim and being able to share my passion for swimming with her
8) Handmade birthdays and a minimalist Christmas
9) Being constantly reminded that happiness in work, family and friends is more important than anything money can buy
10) And this picture… (thanks Steven)

Apple Pay Sign-Ups Get Tougher as Banks Respond to Fraud
The Apple Pay service makes it easy for consumers to pay for purchases with an Apple iPhone 6. But some banks are now making it tougher for customers to set up an Apple Pay account.
Banks are clamping down on their verification processes for the Apple Pay mobile-payment system after crooks started loading stolen credit-card data onto phones and then making fraudulent purchases. Some of that stolen card information has been tracked back to accounts that were compromised in Target's big data breach at the end of 2013 and the Home Depot hacking last year.
The banks are making customers jump through more hoops because they want to make sure that card really belongs to the person who is loading it into the phone.

A Message from Pastor Jim
What kind of Messiah do you want to see?
Are you willing to see a death-and-resurrection Messiah? Are you willing to follow a Messiah who says, "Deny yourself! Take up your cross and follow me"? (Luke 9:23).
Not long ago, I visited friends. On Sunday, we went to their church to worship. It was all very positive. The sermon was on kindness. There was no cross in the chancel—and nothing about the cross in the service. Afterwards, I asked my friend if the pastor ever talked about the cross of Christ-—of his death and resurrection—of his call to his disciples to take up their cross and follow him. My friend said that he didn't think it likely that the pastor would mention those things in a worship service. In that church, it's all about kindness—and joy—and happiness. Those aren't bad things, but they are not the core of the Christian Gospel. The cross is at the center of the Christian Gospel. But those folks did not want to see a cross. They were blind to the cross of Christ.
That isn't unusual these days. Jesus called us to give, but some churches talk only about what we can get. It's called the Prosperity Gospel. It's very positive, but it is NOT the Christian Gospel. Lots of people deliberately put on blinders when it comes to the cross of Christ—and when it comes to the Messiah who says, "Deny yourself! Take up your cross and follow me!"
St. Luke's family, what about you? Are you willing to hear the Messiah who says, "Deny yourself! Take up your cross and follow me!"

Yesterday, I had the great honor and privilege of giving the devotional at the bridal shower of a dear young friend of mine. She will not only be very soon married, but will be living on the opposite coast with her new husband, so it's a bittersweet event for our family.
The morning of the shower, I felt a bit panicked. I had polished off what I wanted to say very late the night before, and as I scanned it over in the rush of trying to get out the door, I felt that it perhaps was a little too edgy…a bit vehement in spots. It was my sincere desire to encourage my young friend, but also to very strongly exhort her with solid, biblical counsel and to share some wisdom gleaned from my own experience as a married woman.
Oh no! What if that roomful of ladies, there to wish her well and share in her happy day and expecting to hear a sweet, nice little devotional with a verse or two about marriage, what if I make them uncomfortable with this at-times-strongly-worded speech?
I should have given them more credit. There was no cause for concern. Those lovely, godly ladies were touched by this very honest and deeply personal little talk. Several mentioned that they wished they had known these things as they embarked on their own marriage, and many asked for copies of it or encouraged me to share it with others. So I share it with you! I have had to change the names…her name isn't Jane Smith, nor is his John Green, but you'll get the general idea.
Here goes (deep breath! I still feel like this is a little more soul-baring than my usual post!):
I brought with me today a little visual aid. This picture hangs up in my living room, at the request of my husband…this is a copy of our wedding vows, and of course I had to make it all fancy and special with a handwriting font, and a scrapbook style picture…apparently, this makes it hard to read, or so he tells me. When I made this, I opted to change the wording slightly to take out our individual names, replacing that section with "I take you to be mine"…
When my husband and I got married, we wanted our marriage vows to have a great depth of meaning, to be both personally meaningful as a reflection of who we were, and also to have deep spiritual meaning and to be as biblically accurate as possible, all while not straying too far from a traditional wedding service. We went to the library and pulled out old, dusty books of words that have been spoken over couples for centuries, and we also looked over glossy new books with more modern phraseology…and it wouldn't take you long to figure out which we favored.
But we didn't end up with this particular set of words because they were old, or traditional, or sounded nice. We chose these words to say to one another, standing there that day facing each other, promising to one another…because they are TRUE, and a reflection of the Gospel.
Jane, today I want to share with you, and with everyone here, my wedding vows, and a little bit of the "why" behind the choosing of these particular words, these specific truths, as the foundation of my own marriage, and I say them to you as a benediction for your marriage with John.
These are the words I said that day:
Before God and these witnesses, and in reliance upon the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I take you to be mine. To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, to speak and to listen, to repent and to forgive, to respect and honor, until God shall separate us by death. I promise to be faithful to you in all circumstances of our life together so that we may join to serve God and others as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn vow.
Now, let's back up to the beginning. "Before God and these witnesses." Standard wedding stuff, yes. But there is meaning here! The fact that the state will legally recognize you as married to John Green really matters very little. What matters most is that you will stand together before God, entering together into the covenant of marriage. You will be surrounded by your family and friends, the people in your life who love you the most, who will witness the vows you make to each other.
"In reliance upon the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I take you to be mine." I'll tell you right now, you don't want to take anyone to be "yours" unless you do so fully relying upon the grace of Christ! And I say that coming from the position of a happy, solid marriage between two people wholly committed to Jesus…it still requires loads of grace! Grace to bite your tongue. Grace to love and serve when you're tired or cranky. Grace to weather the storms of life together, when trouble comes and there's fear, or loss, or illness.
"To have, and to hold." You will belong to each other, body and soul. Give yourself wholeheartedly! That sounds easy now, but it might not always be. There may come days or even seasons when you feel less inclined to be physically or emotionally intimate, perhaps days when young children have been tugging at you and clinging to you, and you feel like you want to draw a ten-foot circle around yourself and defend your perimeter with sharp weapons! Days when you are weary and even a hug seems like a lot to give. Remember the promise— to have…to hold. Keep close to one another, in every way, and draw upon the strength of the Lord on those tough days. We have all had them. I'm pretty certain you will, too.
"To love and to cherish." In our ceremony, these were my husband's words to me, and I pray that you will be deeply loved and tenderly cherished by your husband. My promise was to love and obey, and the specific word "obey" was very important to us to include for my portion of our vows. This is imperative! Ephesians 5 tells us: "Wives, submit to your husbands" and "Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." He is to love you…you are to obey him. This is a picture of Christ and the church, and a glorious testimony to those around you, who have the opportunity to see Christ in you, to see the Gospel play out in your marriage. I find it interesting that "love" isn't part of the command to wives in this particular section of scripture. I think it just comes a little more naturally to us, while the "obey" doesn't always. Fight for it in your marriage, this preservation of biblical roles, this beautiful picture of the Gospel!
"To speak and to listen." This line has special meaning for me. This was a phrase that my husband insisted on, and I remember the look in his eyes…speaking volumes to me how very important this was to him. We would commit to each other to communicate. To speak. To listen. To really hear what the other person is saying and to respond. Once again, this probably sounds really easy right now. You love talking to each other. You find John endlessly fascinating! As you should. But look ahead…over the years, as your household falls into a rhythm of days…John comes home from work, you greet each other, the conversation takes on familiarity. Often the same words exchanged, day to day. And though pleasant, and nothing wrong with this routine of family life, it can lead to a disruption of real and true communication, because you know the script! You don't really have to stop and listen, or think of a unique and meaningful response, because you already know what to say. Now, this is you we are talking about, and I know that you will keep fun and witty banter as a part of communication in your marriage…but even so, a fair warning. Commit to speak. Commit to listen.
"To repent and to forgive." A sister promise of to "speak and listen". But these words, this communication, goes even deeper and is often difficult to execute. This is gritty, gutsy, courageous stuff in a marriage. It's so very much easier to follow that script we talked about, and to sweep offenses and grievances under the rug, allowing them to be concealed and forgotten in the busyness of days. But these little weeds in your garden tend to grow, and to spread quickly…and over time, nagging and accusation and sinful attitudes toward one another can take root and become a threat to your marriage. Repent! Ask for forgiveness! If you have been wronged, extend that grace, give that forgiveness freely! As a believer in Christ, as a child of God, you have been forgiven so. very. much! One of the primary reasons God places us in marriage is so that we can be a reflection of this aspect of his character, this lavish grace and mercy that he bestows. So in your marriage, determine now…you will repent. You will forgive.
"To respect and honor." Respect your husband, always! Your marriage will flourish as you honor him as the head of your household, as the authority in your home. Don't ever let this hierarchy that God has established be turned upside down. And in return, it is my hope that John will honor you as his bride, the wife of his youth, and respect you as created in the image of God, redeemed as a child of God. Yet determine in your heart to always regard your husband with the utmost honor and respect, second only to God in your life.
"Until God shall separate us by death." We chose this phrase over "until death do us part," for one thing because the latter sounds a little too archaic (and we like old words!), but mostly in order to acknowledge that God has sovereign authority over our lives, over our days. Psalm 139:16 says "in your book were written, every one of them,the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." You will spend your life with John, as one, together, until your are separated by God, through death. That could be mere days, or many decades. Only God knows!
"I promise to be faithful to you in all circumstances of our life together." This is more than just physical, sexual fidelity. That's why the "in all circumstances" is there. This means that you don't run your husband down or disparage him to your friends. You don't contradict him in front of other people, or make fun of him to the point of making him look like a fool. You don't complain about him. You may sit here today, a lovely bride-to-be full of love and devotion for your groom and say, "Well, of course not!" But this will be a point of testing for you! No one is perfect, we are all sinners, and even the most loving and attentive of husbands will at some point do something to annoy and irritate his wife. Does she immediately text her best friend and start complaining? Does she bring up his faults in front of other people, or tell stories about him that, while true, might embarrass him? We all struggle with this. James 3:8 tells us that "no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." The temptation to sin against your husband in this way will at times be strong. Be vigilant and prayerful. Be faithful to your husband, in all circumstances!
"That we may join to serve God and others as long as we both shall live." You will be more together than you are apart. No longer John Green and Jane Smith. Now you will be Mr. and Mrs. Green….you'll become "The Greens"! And I pray that you will settle in to your local church as a flourishing, young married couple committed to serve the body together, to impact your neighborhood and your community for the gospel…that you will be a shining beacon, that your home will radiate the love of Christ, and that you may truly join together to serve– To serve each other. To serve your church. To serve one day as a family, as you, I hope, raise children together for the glory of God. May the giftings and talents that God has graced you with complement one another. May you strengthen each other and spur one another on to love and good deeds.
"This is my solemn vow." This is serious. This is more than just a ceremony, more than a big party. Aside from choices regarding salvation and following Christ (and that's really not a choice we make, anyway, it's God's!), this is the most important decision of your life. Your vows are your covenant, together, before a holy God. April 5th, 2014 is a solemn day for you. A happy day, yes. A grand occasion, one to be celebrated with great joy! But this is for real. The Gospel is at stake.
I pray you will be blissfully happy as Mrs. John Green. I pray you will be a godly, faithful wife, one that young women look up to as a shining example, all your days as a wife. I pray that you will become the happy mother of children, and that your home will be full of joy…that you will throw open your doors in gracious hospitality, that words of grace and love will be spoken there, that your days will be infused with prayer and thanksgiving, and that Christ would be the center of your lives together, always. I love you as a friend, and as a sister in Christ. My family adores you and we will miss you tremendously. You will always be welcome in our home, from whatever corner of the world you hail from. May God richly bless you, my friend.

The 5th Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium (SIG SI, co-sponsored by SIG-CRIT)
People, information, technology: The social analysis of computing in a diverse and pluralistic world.
Saturday, November 7, 2009, 8:30-12:30 PM; Hyatt Regency Vancouver
The purpose of this ASIST preconference research symposium is to disseminate current research and research in progress that investigate the social aspects of information and communications technologies (ICT) across all areas of ASIST. The symposium includes members of many SIGs and defines "social" broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. It also defines "technology" broadly to include traditional technologies (i.e., paper), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices.
This year's theme is "People, information, technology: The social analysis of computing in a diverse and pluralistic world" In keeping with the theme of the conference, the symposium is soliciting work that focuses on the mutual shaping of people and information as mediated by ICTs.
~ How do difference and diversity shape design, implementation, use, disuse, and reconfiguration of information and ICTs where groups, and organizations work and play in a global environment?
~ In what ways do information and ICTs shape those creating, implementing and using them? How does this vary across cultures? How may such difference be managed in global interactions?
~ What can we learn about information and ICT and ongoing social and cultural change at different levels of social analysis such as groups, organizational units, political entities or cultural systems? Can we harmonize our insights?
~ How may we explore the complex reciprocal relationships among information, ICT, people, groups and the social and cultural environments that surround and pervade them?
~ What are the variations in meanings or interpretations of information and ICT across social groups, organizations, and cultures?
~ What are the moral obligations of ICT system development and use particularly in global communication networks and what are the consequences for diverse ethnic groups?
We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the notion of difference – what is involved in the subtle interplay between people's uses of information and ICT and the increasingly diverse and global environments in which they are immersed? Critical analyses are useful because they "bring into question established social assumptions and values regarding information and … ICTs and established understandings of 'information,' particularly as they play themselves out and are institutionalized in social and professional discourses and professional training." (Day, 2007; 575).
We encourage all scholars, both beginning and established, interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium.
Following last year's successful symposium, SIG SI will partner again with SIG USE to offer a comprehensive full day program. The theme of this symposium fits well with the main themes of the SIG USE symposium, "Collaborative Information Seeking and Sharing," meaning that there would be a full day of exploration of the question of the transformative relationships between people, information, and ICTs from different but clearly related perspectives. The SIG SI symposium will take place on Saturday morning and the SIG USE symposium will be in the afternoon. Collectively, the two sessions can offer a comprehensive full day program, although each is a stand-alone event. The two SIGs will co-sponsor a networking lunch [Pay-on-your-own] that will take place in between the two events There will be a discount for people who register for both symposia.*
Call for papers and posters:
Submit a short paper (2000 words) or poster (500 words) by September 4, 2009.
Submissions may include empirical, critical and theoretical work, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations.
Acceptance announcements made by September 20, in time for conference early registration (ends Sept 25, 2009).
Tentative Schedule
Paper presentations: 8:30-10:45 AM
Break: 10:45-11:00 AM (with poster viewing)
Paper presentations: 11:00:11:45 AM
Closing Keynote: 11:45-12:30 PM
Lunch with SIG-USE: 12:30-1:30 PM
Members $75, non-members $85, before Sept. 25, 2009
Members $85, non-members $95, after Sept. 25, 2009

The newly formed PSAC local 60550 local executive took advantage of the Graduate Student Association's orientation week to meet their new members and have them sign their PSAC application cards.
This local is the latest addition to the PSAC in New Brunswick and represents Teaching Assistants (TA's) and Research Assistants (RA's) working on the UNB campuses in Fredericton and Saint John. They are currently in bargaining for their first collective agreement.
The activity was a success. In only a few days they managed to get more than 140 cards signed.
The PSAC had a kiosk at the Marsh Festival in Sackville, NB on July 10th. Approximately 200 community members signed our petition and postcards to MP Dominic LeBlanc in support of keeping the Westmorland Institution Farm open. The PSAC was promoting locally grown plants, vegetables and meat from the Institution. Also in attendance was the Mayor of Dorchester and the media.
The position of Federal Labour Affairs Officer (Health and Safety Workplace Inspector) in Eastern Nova Scotia (Pictou, Guysborough and Antigonish) is being eliminated.
• There are over 400 worksites in Eastern Nova Scotia.
• Nova Scotia has three times the disabling injuries as Newfoundland; twice as many as New Brunswick; and 20 times as many as Prince Edward Island; yet one of the three positions (the other two are located in Halifax) is being eliminated.
