Jennifer Lawrence, NO!
"Hey girls, meet your new sister – Katniss Kardashian! Yes, she's about 28 lbs too light in the ass, but I'm sure a couple visits to the Kardashian Khompound's In-House Rump Plumper will take care of that."
Sometime late last night, Satan's right-hand hooker and reason for upgrading his phone plan to include call display, Kris Jenner, wrapped her hooves around America's Fart-Ripping Girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence, summoned one of her minions to take a picture, and released to the internet. I've seen The Exorcist, I know what's happening here – this is what it looks like the moment before you're about to be possessed by a dark-sided social-climbing demon. (Crosses self, reaches for the holy water) I'm going to need an old priest, a young priest, and an extra-large pepperoni pizza. Back away from the legitimate celebrity, Kris!
Kris threw up the picture (which was apparently taken by the Kronk to her Yzma, Corey Gamble) to Instagram with the following caption:
"Happy Birthday you piece of shit… God I love you #Jenniferlawrence thanks for making this night a night to remember…..even if we did get caught… I love you Happy Birthday Gorgeous!!! #Bible #momager #doll"
Somewhere in a giant pile of unsold socks, Pimp Mama Kris' lowest earner Rob Kardashian read the words "you piece of shit" and got a little jealous.
I still have no idea what Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence were doing in the same picture. I guess the only explanation I can come to is that a hungry hungry JLaw uttered the words "I'd do anything for a dozen deep-fried donut-glazed chicken wings" in her kitchen one night, at which point Lucifer appeared through a firey hole in her kitchen floor and hissed "I think I can arrange that. The only thing is, you're going to have to do some truly despicable shit for them." Then Lucifer escorted JLaw to a hotel room containing an iPhone and the Pimp Mistress (who took one look at JLaw, started thinking about how much attention she was about to receive, and nearly blew out the load-bearing beam in her nose by hyperventilating too hard). You know JLaw was probably like "Is it too late to sell you my soul instead?"

The Value of Oral Histories Beyond Discovery and Preservation
Guilbeau, Neil
Richardson, Hillary
Eichmann-Kalwara, Nickoal
Item TypePoster
Libraries seeking to become the "Heart of their Communities" can reach out to their residents through oral history projects. These projects not only document and preserve the social memory of Mississippi's communities, but also strengthen the connection between residents and institutions that serve them. By seeking out and engaging participants for oral histories from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, libraries demonstrate to constituents that every voice matters, and effectively promote available resources while garnering a broader public support. Mississippi State University Libraries is currently conducting two oral history projects: the Starkville Civil Rights Project and the Mississippi Veterans Oral History Project. Using these two projects as examples, this presentation will demonstrate how libraries can connect to their communities, describe the methods and resources needed to undertake an oral history project, and list the benefits of creating oral histories in the library.

A lot of people seem to hate any discussion of costs. You'll often hear "if it saves just one life, it will have been worth it" but this really isn't practical. If it was, we'd all be wearing full body armour the whole time, and never driving faster than 10 mph.
I freely admit that I admire capitalism. I think that markets provide a fantastic way of getting the most bang for your buck, and I'd like to consider how market-based thinking can be used to save more lives.
Consider this completely made up example - you have a hundred people who are ill. 50 of them have illness A and 50 have illness B. Illness A reduces your average lifespan to 5 years and costs £100,000 to treat, whereas illness B reduces average lifespan to 10 years and costs £50,000 to treat. Suppose that the average lifespan for one of these people who had no illness would be 40 more years, what is the cost of a life?
Treating Illness A gives you an extra 35 years, for a cost of £100,000 - or £2,857.14 per year. Treating Illness B gives you an extra 30 years, for a cost of £50,000 - or £1,666.67 per year.
Thus, Illness B should surely get funding before Illness A.
The reason being that the money we spend on healthcare is limited. It comes from somewhere (the taxpayer's pocket) and there isn't an infinite supply. In an ideal world (one with infinite energy and resources perhaps) we'd treat everyone that's ill, but in our world we have limited money, and spending money treating Illness A costs 70% more than treating Illness B for the same result.
What I'd like to see is a proper evaluation carried out on the various things that we do, looking at (among other things) quality of life, cost/benefit ratio, success rates, recurrence rates, etc. Then we can build a picture of what it really costs to treat the various problems that people have, and we can figure out how to spend our healthcare money most efficiently.
Pros: More lives saved for less money spent
Cons: Might lead to bad press
One big problem I can see. If the system is taken to extremes and every case looked at on it's merit, treatment for the elderly would be seen as considerably more expensive than treatment for anyone else (largely because you don't get that many extra years from successful treatment). This could be offset either by not breaking it down at an individual level (which is sort of against the whole point of this) or by the government funding part of the treatment (well, if you had Illness B we'd pay for it and that costs £50k to treat, so we'll put £50k towards the cost of your treatment if you can pay the rest). This would likely encourage private topup insurance.

Saturday | June 23 | 6 to 8pm
An Ayurvedic term for 'air and space', Vata is a meditation on both the far-reaching possibilities and the intimacy of drawing. Presented by City Center Gallery, Vata is an exhibition of graphite and charcoal drawings by local artist Jill Raymundo. Multiple drawings series comprise the exhibition, ranging from intricate, textural collage drawings of commonplace objects to large-scale cloudscapes based on images taken from an airplane window.
Extreme variation in both the scale and subject matter of Raymundo's drawings throw one's corporeality into relief. Raymundo's nearly photographic depiction of hair amidst a field of velvety black is both expressive and precise, while the impressive scale of her expanses of clouds draws the viewer in to realize the finesse that was required to create it.
With subtle hues, detailed marks and a thematic approach, Raymundo's exhibition appeals to a curious and lingering eye—an opportunity to enjoy a refined technique.
Artist Biography
Born in Manila to architect parents, Jill Raymundo was drawn to visual art at an early age. Due to the country's political unrest, her family immigrated to the United States when she was a year old, and she grew up in Toronto, Ontario; Columbus, Ohio and Vancouver, British Columbia. She attended the Columbus College of Art and Design on a full scholarship and graduated in 2004 with honors, in addition to studying at the AICAD New York Studio Program in Parsons School of Design.
Raymundo has divided her time in recent years between Manila, Vancouver and Portland, Ore. teaching art, contributing to the education department at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology, and co-creating a small eco-friendly design studio. She has had solo and group shows at the Riffe Center in Columbus, the Smithsonian in Washington DC, and several galleries in New York City, the West Coast and Manila. She returned to Columbus in 2012 to pursue her art and design work.
Artist Statement
From morning to evening, I find myself involved in various projects and activities. I sense an incessant desire for things to be happening, for the next goal to be attained, and the next check marked off from the to-do list, but in the hectic scheme of things, at the end of the day lies the quiet space of solitude and reflection. It is in this space that I am most creative.

"Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam..."--Monty Python, 1970
You may not have SPAM in your cabinet, but you undoubtedly have spam in your inbox. The massive amount of information we all consume on a daily basis has driven us to shout louder and interrupt more often in order to get our point across. Like the Vikings in the popular Monty Python sketch, those who wish to communicate a message to a broader audience will often interject at inappropriate times and attempt to reach their goals by blasting out to all who will listen. While a lot of unintentional spammers have appropriate content to share, their methods often produce exactly the opposite of what they want. I'm sure those Vikings just wanted to tell everyone how much they loved SPAM.
The problem with our increasingly connected society is that there are more channels and opportunities than ever to share our story, but the pitfalls have also become more dangerous. Jumping into the modern social scene with your company's message can feel like swimming with sharks while wearing a SPAM scuba suit. So let's look at a real world example and see what we can learn about where and how to best share our content.
Just last week I watched in real time as two very different schools of marketing collided online on Facebook and Twitter.
Jay Conrad Levinson wrote the 1984 bestseller Guerrilla Marketing, has sold over 21 million books and is considered to be "the father of guerrilla marketing." He has been promoting his events recently on social networks and posted a canned event marketing message on several popular Facebook walls, including that of Jeffrey Gitomer's, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Gary Vaynerchuk's. Vaynerchuk, who has written Crush It and The Thank You Economy, is known for his social marketing and building the most watched wine show on the internet. In a response to the post Gary said, "Jay why would you spam my wall? makes no sense and has zero value! I am going to assume most of the people that see this on my fan page won't be excited by your execution ,especially since I and my community tend to stand 100% against this kind of petty action :(" After several more comments from members of Gary's community, on both the post and on the Jay Conrad Levinson wall, the posts were deleted.
Gary then posted to his 900,000+ followers on twitter the following tweet. "Tough day at the social media office, just as I am ranting, someone comes on and spa ms my wall.". The debate continued on Twitter and Facebook about what constituted spam and its effectiveness or lack thereof.
After a bit of digging I found out the person who posted the content, apologized on the Jay Conrad Levinson page ,and removed the posts was Amy Levinson. After exchanging a few emails with Amy it became clear that she felt she had not done anything wrong and was upset by some of the mean comments that followed up. There was even a question posted to the @gmarketing twitter account about what was considered spam. I do believe that the original post was in a spirit of sharing relevant information but our spam sensitive culture has trained us to, at best, ignore these messages and at worst resort to retaliation.
So what can we learn from this and how can it help us tell better stories?
1. Know Your Audience - A quick look on Gary Vaynerchuk's Facebook page would have revealed how interactive the discussions were. Asking a question or engaging with Gary on a personal level would have opened the door to providing more information. Most online audiences are very sensitive to marketing blasts and respond much better to building a relationship with them. Start talking, ask questions, get involved and then you will have built up the right to ask for something.
2. Know What Spam Is - Chances are if you are copying and pasting a message over and over, it could be spam. If you are interrupting an existing conversation or forcing a message that doesn't fit, it could be spam. If you don't know anything about the person on the other end of a message except their email address, it probably is spam. When in doubt, make it personal, and ask for permission.
3. Help Others Know - I realize that a lot of the spammers out there don't care about their message but there are individuals and companies who are getting into social media that need help. For those of us who know the rules it is our job to politely enforce them but also to educate those who are just jumping in. This is a brave new web for all of us and we need to play well with others who want to learn.
Finally, I want to say thank you to Gary, Amy and everyone who was a part of the discussion that came out of this situation. The intent of this was not to point fingers or lay blame but to help us all understand how we can better communicate with each other. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm a bit hungry and with all due respect to the Hormel Food Corporation, I think I could go for a salad.

For open, empty spaces, nothing beats Canada. Nature is beautiful and we, humans, are like little ants (or beavers) on this huge territory. Even in a urban environment like Ottawa, we don't have to go far to enjoy a taste of the wild. Hell, some days I feel that most of our neighbours are rabbits and squirrels, and this is in close suburbia!
However, for art and history, Europe is the place to be. In 2017, Canada will mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, but I'm pretty sure most buildings in Nantes are much older than this new-world country. As for art, it's a part of life in France, even more so in my artsy family.
Like every summer, the Voyage à Nantes project displayed modern art projects all over the city. In both the Lieu Unique and the HAB Galerie, I found the video installations rather cryptic and boring. The incorporation of the space is a key element in the narrative structure and indeed, both locations are great for such projects—the Lieu Unique is a former cookie factory and the HAB Galerie was a warehouse. Yet, I'm not going to pretend I get it… I don't.
In L'Atelier, I enjoyed Erró's series. The Icelandic artist (his real name is Guðmundur Guðmundsson) juxtaposed socialist-realist renders of China's Chairman Mao and famous bastions of Western culture. At first glance, the paintings look like your typical Chinese propaganda posters, until you notice the unusual background–Trafalgar Square in London or the Plaza San Marco in Venise. This kind of political art speaks to me, I found it interesting.
And of course, we went to explore my dad's atelier, along the Loire River. He is currently working on interpreting the Declaration of Human Rights and preparing a new exhibition. Mark gave his opinion on the paintings, then we put some music on, gave him charcoal and let him draw "mommy and daddy".

Australian Federal e-Election
Posted 13 years ago by Internetrix
2 Minute(s) to read
With a change of Australian government occurring over the weekend, there are still a number of knife edge Parliament seats that have not been decided.The most notable is former Prime Minister John Howard's battle to not to lose his seat.
While much was made during the campaign of the first time use of YouTube and other online media, our vote went to the use of technology this election, particularly when it came to opinion polling before the ballot, and getting the updates in real time after the polls closed.
Four days after the ballot John Howard is still 300 behind on the primary vote in his own seat.The Australian Electoral Commission provides a data rich website allowing in depth analysis across all contested seats and senate races.The Virtual Tally Room is where all the details are and provides a list of all remaining seats which have the incumbent still trailing.
It is also great to see that Newspoll, a client of Internetrix had the voting intentions correct in their last poll taken prior to the election and was within 0.5% of the actual Labor/Coalition vote.The Newspoll pdf showing their prediction of a 52/48% split in the vote to Labor, is available from their website.
In the election campaign there was a lot of bluster about the Education Revolution, and now having won, that it is Agenda item number one for Prime Minister Rudd.Here at Internetrix we were keenly watching the debate about the Broadband speed deficiencies experienced around the country.
With Labor having taken Government, we look forward to seeing how the Government goes with the plan to "deliver broadband more than 40 times faster than most current speeds" which is listed on the Action section of the Official Australian Labor Party website. With the Internetrix product suite being Internet based, our whole existing and potential customer base would appreciate and benefit from capacity increases around the country. This will be one policy promise that we will keenly be watching over the next 3 years.

In 'Deeno Daan', Tagore writes about a sage who criticizes a king for getting a temple built in the name of God using "two million gold coins" while turning away the poor during a drought.

In a letter to the Delaware Health Commission, a mom describes the challenges she confronted while trying to get assist for her daughter. One of many points that she makes reinforces the shortage of amenities. There's a lack of inpatient cleansing and/or substance abuse therapy facilities for minors in Delaware and too few cleansing facilities for adults in our state." (Jones) Within the Kent or Sussex counties there are no inpatient amenities for minors, except if the courtroom assigns the youth to a facility. For families, there only alternative is to arrange to have their baby despatched out of state. Even for adults the options for inpatient providers are limited. A fast evaluate of the State of Delaware's Help is Right here, (Figure 1) web site, shows Kent and Sussex counties have no itemizing for an in-patient rehabilitation center and there is just one facility listed as a cleansing middle.

The Circulation Desk is located in the Main Reading Room, (212) 998-6312
Coleman Ridge, Collection Services Administrator, (212) 998-6584
Book Check Out
Faculty can check out most library materials. The "due date" for stack books is the end of each semester.

You can arrange for the pick up of the latter by contacting Coleman Ridge. You may also view your circulation record on Julius (click on "My Julius Account").
Research Assistants and Support Staff
Your research assistant or faculty assistant may check out books on your behalf, for which you are responsible. To do so though, research assistants must have a current authorization form on file with the Library's circulation department. The circulation privileges which are extended to Law faculty apply when your research assistant or faculty assistant borrows materials for your use, to be kept in your office. More restrictive rules apply when a student borrows library materials for his or her own research or coursework. If requested, the Library will offer your research assistants training on how to make the best use of the Library materials and services. Request such training through your library liaison.

How do I prepare the files to print bleed?
Visual Explanation & Examples Easy to Understand for Color Copy Bleed
Hot Topic!The short story about bleedThis first piece "bleeds":
The image gets to the edge of the paper so your file requires an appropriate preparation
Read the article below
This next piece does not "bleed":
The image does not get to the edge of the paper.
Bleed in a color copy: It is probably the most confusing characteristic in file preparation. Whether dealing with a PDF file or photo printing, if you work mostly with home-desktop-style-publication software, you will probably find many things to think about the next time you prepare a document that will print as a color copy bleed job
Bleed Color Copy projects such as: Color Copies, Brochures, Sell Sheets, Books, Posters and more. Best practices for use and design of publications and documents that will print with bleed.

What is bleed exactly?
Bleed: Look at a Modern Picture that bleeds!: When you get your pictures developed at a Kodak Store (or Walgreens or CVS for the matter), your pictures will usually take all of the photo's paper. You'll get something that looks like this printed picture with bleed shown here:
On this picture the image gets right to the edge of the paper.
The printed area covers 100% of the printable area!
No Bleed: This next other picture does not bleed
An Old Family Picture that Does Not Bleed. This is how pictures used to look like a few years ago. Regardless of the cultural changes that occurred, these two images (the one on top and the one ahead) illustrate what bleed is about
On this picture the image does not get right to the edge of the paper. There is a thin white border
The printed area covers less than 100% of the printable area!
How to prepare a file so that it prints with bleed?
Let's look at how modern documents are created. We'll look now at commercial printing. Color printing allows to reproduce the same scenarios that were described for family pictures.
The image bellow shows a full bleed piece seen from the perspective of a printing company. The image reflects what the company, reproducing and printing the piece, needs to get at their digital color printing equipment or printing press. If the printed piece at the printing company does not look pretty much like the image bellow, it will be difficult to obtain a high quality piece.
What should I do then??
There is no "commercial or industrial" way of printing a piece of paper right to its edge without taking the risk of having a thin undesired white border, or without making the back of the printed side dirty (offsetting).
Here's what needs to be done:
The way in which a piece with bleed is produced requires the following situations to take place:
- The printing company needs to print in excess of what the final piece's size is required. The excess is usually 1/8" in US and about 3 to 5 mm. where the Metric System is used.
- Once printed with the excess explained, that excess must be removed to bring the piece to the actual required size, a process known as trimming.
This image on our left, presents the same information in the printing lingo
So a file that is created to be printed with bleed needs to be bigger than the final size of the final piece.
FILE PREPARATION and PRINTING COST
We will take as an example, a printed piece that once trimmed, will have an overall size of 8.5" wide x 11" tall. In your layout software set for an image size of 8.75"x11.25". The next paragraph explaines how we came up with that number.
Width: You should add 1/8" to each side of your piece,
so the width should be set to: 8.5"+2x1/8"
which is the same as 8.5"+2x0.125" which equals 8.75"
Height: the same concept applies, so if the height of the document is to be 11", then the image in the file should be 11.25".
PRINTING COST: What does this bleed requirement mean in terms of the cost of printing with bleed:
• The paper size needed is bigger than 8.5"x11". Printing on a larger piece of paper becomes more expensive
• The paper needs to be trimmed. Trimming is a process that requires additional equipment and labor, therefore increasing the production costs.
go back to top
A BIG ALERT NOTE: Keep in mind that the portion of the image that is printed outside of what is going to be the final size of the piece will be trimmed and removed. So the part of the image that goes into the bleed area should be the extra image that will go once trimmed.
What's the biggest error some designers do? Some people just expand the image that they want on their final piece. This is a mistake because expanding the image will result in trimming. Trimming removes part of the image so it results in a final piece that is different to what was expected.
Rule #1 for Bleed: Create bleed with "additional image", not by expanding your image
3 reasons to have your document bleed
I believe that the invitation on the left offers less distraction than the piece on the right hand side. The impact is that the viewer of the piece on the left will be exposed to the message in an easier way. The eye focuses on the title right away other than panning the whole piece trying to decide where to start.
The inviation on the right requires more time to focus on its message.
- Bleed allows for a more focused view
- Bleed allows for more attractive visual impact.
Please observe the effect of bleed/no-bleed on a simulated book cover.
Left Image: No bleed on the cover.— Right Image: Bleed! Our choice!
- Documents that bleed are usually viewed as being "more professional". That means more efficient marketing actions.
Amateur documents, on the other hand, designed through
home-desktop-publishing software usually have thick white borders
This first image corresponds to a non-bleed scenario where your design opportunities become very limited
The second scenario that uses bleed permits larger pictures,
cropping and enhancing details through zooming
Borderless pictures are called pictures that "bleed". Because there's no white frame, in order to get it done properly, you must get the photograph printed on a slightly large paper and trimmed. In that way, you make sure that no white edge will be present.
The same concept is utilized in printing. Either in the case that you're printing brochures, of printing color copies, or door hangers, or business cards, every time you want your images to bleed, the printing house will need to use oversized paper that will later be trimmed to size:
Oversized papers are more expensive than the standard papers just described because a) there's more paper and b) once printed, there's a need to further process the printed piece.
Let me explain: If you're color printing on an 8 1/2" x 11" page without bleed, you take the paper in the final size, print it with the proper equipment, and you're done.
But if what you want is an 8 1/2" x 11" piece that bleeds, then you need at least a sheet of paper that's 9" x 12" (I'm sure that you already realize that the additional paper around what you actually expect to get is a "long piece" of about 1/2"inch with by 42" long (perimeter). That extra paper in turn needs to be cut down to size. To cut paper with precision you require an expensive cutter, with sharp blades and skilled operators to get things done.
As you can see, printing a color copy bleed project requires some knowledge but is not that easy to do. Let us know if we can help.

Great Mogging Finds: The Huge Thorium Battleaxe
Today I wanted to share a mogging item I've been having good success selling: The Huge Throium Battleaxe. This item can be crafted by almost any Blacksmith in the game but I doubt if anyone on your server is selling it. Head past the jump for my experience selling the Huge Throium Battleaxe.
What is the item?
The Huge Thorium Battleaxe is a level 51 2-Handed Axe. It requires Blacksmithing 280 to craft. The pattern is learned from the Blacksmithing trainer. I've been crafting and selling this on my level 48 Paladin.
|Huge Thorium Battleaxe: Material Prices
What does it sell for?
In my experience this has sold for between 350-650 gold. While I think this item could sell for more I worry that if I increase the price too much it will draw the attention of competitors. So far I am the only player selling this item. As long as my sales stay steady I will continue to sell at around 675 gold each.
|Huge Thorium Axe: Sales
Why is it selling?
As someone who uses 2-Handed weapons on my Warrior, Death Knight and Paladin I am always searching for unique and interesting looks to transmogrify my weapons into. As someone who tends to "mog down" (transmogrifying a newer shinier weapon into a lower more subtle model) I tend to match my weapon look to my current armor look.
What I found when searching the auction house for 2-Handed weapons was that the selection tended to be really terrible. Usually just a handful of run-of-the-mill Cataclysm items and some ugly low-level weapons. The Huge Thorium Battleaxe isn't exactly what you might call "pretty" but it is what you might call "freaking huge". It also has a very sinister look to it.
I imagine Titan's Grip Fury Warriors might be picking this axe up to wield two freaking huge axes. It also has a nice dark coloring with a slight purple hue that might appeal to Death Knights.
Should I sell it?
I think that every Blacksmith reading this should check their auction house and if you don't see this item spend the time and (very low) material costs to produce and sell a few. If they don't sell right away don't get discouraged. Selling mogging items requires patience.
Also expect your sales to increase over time. As more and more players purchase and mog your axes more and more will see them on players around town and head to the auction house to pick up their own.
How should I price it?
I would price this in the 600-700 gold range. They will sell for this. As I stated earlier, if you try to push the price too high you risk drawing competition. As this is a craftable item, the only thing keeping all the other blacksmiths on your server selling it is either a) them not knowing about it or b) their own laziness.
Always be looking into all your older crafting profession recipes for hidden gems like the Huge Thorium Battleaxe. In my experience there are very few players really focusing on selling mogging items much less crafted mogging items.
In fact, a quick check on AHSpy.com's global Huge Thorium Battleaxe page page reveals that there are very few players selling this axe at the moment and almost none are selling them for prices I've been able to get. Now is your chance to get a foothold into the market. Best strike while the iron....erm... thorium is hot.

Now I wish I invested more time with my alts.... I've locked my Blacksmith at level 19 with the intention of healing BGs.ReplyDelete
Hmmm... I will pass it on to a guildie who needs the gold more than me. Thanks for the tip :)
This is another great weapon for selling, it's rather awkward to get the dark iron bars however you can occasionally find a few cheap on the AH.
@Kava How generous. :DReplyDelete
@Parky I'll be sure to check out Nightfall. It has a great look to it.
Lesser Wizard's robes sell in the 300-500g range for me and only cost around 15g to make. The downside is I think the spider's silk required no longer drops and I've drained out the AH supply, this may be an in-game error I need to put a ticket in for.ReplyDelete
@RJ_Kunz If it was like some silk I was trying to find it's there it's just a very low drop rate. Check Wowhead comments on the items for more info.ReplyDelete
I'd rather teach a person how to fish than just give them a fish :)ReplyDelete
I am my friends' go-to person for gold making advice, and I often link blog posts and podcast I find helpful to our Facebook group. That usually has at least two people coming to me to discuss what was in most recent post/episode.
We often avoid competing with one another, and help each other advertise in Trade. I find it more fun that way.
@Kava You sound like a good friend to have around.ReplyDelete
Currently my real life friend is telling me about how much he has made so far since I linked this post to him. You just helped me make a broke warrior a very happy Tauren :)ReplyDelete

Last Sunday at church we were singing, "Before the Throne of God Above".. a song I love, a song we sing often. As we neared the end and the words rang out..
"Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace…"
(Charitie Bancroft, 1863)
I thought of the baby, the baby in the manger. And it's a thought I've been pondering and mulling over all week. When I see that baby, I see Christ. He is the Lamb of God that was taken to slaughter, crucified. The baby, the Christ Child, came to be murdered. That was His destiny.
And I think of the beautiful God who loves me so, who sent His Son to that lowly manger. And tears rush as I think of Jesus the King of glory stepping from heaven. It doesn't make sense. But neither does invisible love, nor perfection. Christ is both of those things to me.
The manger scene is a beautiful one.. an angelic baby, radiant Mary and humble Joseph adoring their new babe. The glorious stars twinkling in the sky that sing with all of heaven, rejoicing that redemption has come to earth.
I am desperate for Him. I am frail and weak. Oh so weak. And I need the cross. I need to remember Him on the cross. There is no Christmas without the cross.
"My soul is purchased by His blood.."
He was wounded and was hurt.. He knows wounds and He knows hurts. And the cross shouts LOVE and GRACE to a wounded and hurt world.
So this Christmas, I will cling to the cross. I need daily dying. I need to remember the baby who came to die. His death is my life.
"And if there is no cross in my Christmas, then my Christmas has lost the Christ —- what is the manger if it not for the Messiah, the one who saves us with the scars?" Ann Voskamp
Take a moment to go read Ann's post on this very subject. She puts words to my thoughts and I am so thankful for her gift!

I was in Munich at the end of September. At the celebrated Hofbräuhaus beer hall, we were sat opposite a very affable father and son from Argentina. The father is a surgeon, in town for a conference. As luck would have it, I had done a little research on the biofuel industry of Argentina last year. I knew a little bit about their country, so I had an instant icebreaker.
When our beers arrived, they offered their glasses for me to clink with the customary 'Salud!' (In deference to our location, we should have said 'prost'.) Right before I touched my beer stein to theirs, I hastily said, 'Oh, you have to look the other person in the eye or you'll have seven years of bad sex!' (Siete años de mal sexo.) Whether this was a silly superstition I picked up from my Spanish friends, well, I didn't want to risk it. Seven years is a long time!
During a speech
Speeches are usually given after a meal. Sometimes it is given between the main course and the dessert. When the speaker invites everyone to "raise their glasses," in hounour of someone (or something), guests are expected to stand and do just that, raise their glasses. Do not touch your glass with your neighbours during a toast.
At a drinks reception, it is a good idea to leave a little bit of your drink, just in case there is a welcome speech. You can always finish it right before you enter the dining room. If you find you have polished off your champagne too early, don't call attention to yourself, just raise your glass with the rest of them.
Cheers, to your good health!
In the very olden days, when individuals still drank and talked unreservedly with strangers in pubs, people clinked glasses with each other to signify trust. This is because some of the other person's ale will spill into your glass and vice versa (somehow it's always ale in the days of yore). This acts as a deterrent to the sinister, if someone had slipped poison into your drink, there is a chance that some of the poison might be mixed into their drink too. Was it irony or mockery that the words "to your good health" precedes the touching of glasses?
Later on, perhaps because people developed greater (dis)trust of drinking companions, the middle and upper classes eschewed the practice. Indeed, in the early part of the 20th century, clinking glasses was an indication of a working class upbringing.
To clink or not to clink glasses?
Undoubtedly, clinking glasses gives a gathering a friendlier atmosphere. It also gets people talking. If people offer their glasses to you, do not hesitate and touch your drink to theirs. It is considered rude not to do so.
Although I must admit, it can get awkward when there are more than four people at the table. It causes confusion, crossing of arms and spillage. Whatever you do, just make sure you look the other person in the eye and smile.
Cheers, to all that we love,

Curator's Comments: I might have recognized your distinctive mark making in this piece notwithstanding the specificity of subject if I'd viewed the piece within a closer time frame. Having admired your more economic non-objective drawings some time ago, I've revisiting Scissortail, and have a new appreciation for the visual restraint and selectivity of forms. While in the context of the simple cross and circular shapes it obviously offers more definition and detail, it stops shy of full representation. I find myself enjoying the weight of the almost negative space. The needle like scratched lines in the background imply movement, but also feathery physical trembling and the thistle texture of the brush. The minimal color offers a beautiful subtly- the pinkish blossoms infuse the grey flycatcher with faint warmth.

A London bus ploughed into a shop on a busy street in the British capital Thursday, leaving two people trapped and others hurt after the driver blacked out, witnesses said.
Pictures on social media showed shattered glass and paramedics tending to passengers on the upper deck of the red double-decker bus.
Passenger Amy Mullineux, a nurse, said the driver told her he had lost consciousness.
"He said he blacked out before the bus hit the shop," the 40-year-old said. "He doesn't remember hitting anything."
The accident happened on Lavender Hill, in southwest London, known for the 1951 British comedy film "The Lavender Hill Mob", starring Alec Guinness, Sid James and a young Audrey Hepburn, which won an Oscar for best screenplay.
Another passenger, Andrew Matthews, 34, said around a dozen were on board when the bus began to drift off the road.
"As soon as the bus came to a stop there was yelling, screaming," he said. "I noticed a lady wedged in the front right-hand side. She was screaming for help. There was a lot of blood."
The two passengers initially trapped were freed by firefighters and the bus driver was taken to hospital. London Ambulance Service said they had treated six patients.

India vs West Indies: Eden curator stops Rohit Sharma from having look at pitch
Eden Gardens' veteran curator Prabir Mukherjee Monday prevented Indian batsman Rohit Sharma from inspecting the pitch to be used for the India-West Indies Test match beginning Wednesday. Mukherjee is well known for his steadfast adherence to the rules and traditional values of cricket.
Whenever there is an international match at the Eden Gardens, its septuagenarian curator Prabir Mukherjee finds himself in the news for all the wrong reasons and this time it was for denying India's star batsman Rohit Sharma a chance to have a look at the strip.
As is the practice among international teams, players normally want to have a look at the strip prior to a match but Mukherjee, who has been fussy about not allowing all and sundry to hover around the 22-yard strip, ticked off India's hero of the ODI series against Australia.
Fresh from his marvellous double ton in the final ODI, Rohit got a hero's welcome as he entered the stadium but little did he expect that Mukherjee would deny him.
As Rohit came near the pitch that was fenced with a board with the instructions 'Only Captain and Coach are allowed inside', Mukherjee barred the Indian batsman from going near the strip.
Mukherjee cited ICC rules, which allows only the team captain and coach to have a look at the track.
Both Sharma and Mukherjee were seen in animated discussion, as Cricket Association of Bengal joint secretary Subir Ganguly rushed to pacify them. The cricketer returned to the nets.
"I can't go beyond the rules. Whatever there is in the ICC rules will have to be strictly adhered to," Mukherjee said after the incident.
Ganguly, however, denied any argument or heated exchange of words on the issue between Mukherjee and Sharma.
"This is a non-issue. Rohit is too nice a boy to raise his voice," Ganguly said.
Earlier in the day, Mukherjee had turned down India coach Duncan Fletcher's request for using a strip adjacent to the centre pitch for use by the bowlers.
Mukherjee again pointed to the rules and said such facilities could be given only a day before the Test match starts.
However, he later relented and allowed the pitch to be used, after an intervention by CAB officials.
Mukherjee had earlier shooed away former England skipper Mike Atherton, who too had gone close to the pitch during the India-England Test last December.
Atherton, a TV broadcaster, had tried to take a close look at the wicket, which had generated a great degree of controversy after Mukherjee slammed Dhoni for demanding a square turner, terming it "immoral and illogical".
The snubbing of Dhoni had generated a lot of controversy. Mukherjee, in charge of the Eden pitch for decades, was "sidelined" and East Zone curator Ashish Bhowmick called in to oversee the ground.
However, an intervention by CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya saw Mukherjee agreeing to continue with his duties as the curator, a post from which he had sought to be relieved following Bhowmick's arrival.
Things were settled amicably after Dhoni embraced the 84-year-old and called him "boss of Eden".
CAB's mismanagement leaves media stumped
Later in the afternoon, CAB's mismanagement led to the cancellation of a scheduled media conference by explosive opener Chris Gayle due to "unavailability of space".
The West Indies presser was scheduled at 1.45 pm but it was put off as the allotted room was hosting a meeting of the Kolkata Police Commissioner along with fire brigade and CAB officials.
"We're helpless, we wanted to have it on time but the room upstairs was not available," the West Indies media manager said.
The CAB wanted to alter the schedule to evening but the Caribbean star was not available then.
"The meeting with police was planned in advance so it was difficult to put it off and we asked the West Indies team to conduct their media conference at 4.30 but Gayle was not available then," CAB joint secretary Subir Ganguly said.
Incidentally, the meeting that took place at the media conference room, was more to do with security arrangements for the upcoming Chhat Puja and the Kali Puja immersion.

The pitcher who impressed me most was Kyle Gibson of the Twins, who was throwing 93-94 MPH like he did in college, with good secondary pitches and impressive command. His velocity has been up-and-down since the spring of 2009, but I think the Tommy John surgery has restored him to what he was in the months before the '09 draft.♦ Tigers Baseball (Detroit Free Press)
RHP Tyler Clark: The 23-year-old has allowed eight runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings.♦ Inside the Arizona Fall League, the MLB's Grad School for Top Prospects (The Atlantic)
"You have to play the game on a regular basis to conquer it," Hemond says. "They don't play enough games in college." Unlike NCAA football, which can reasonably simulate the punishment of an NFL season, The NCAA's 14-week long baseball season is but a shadow of the seven-month Major League grind. Cold climates in northern schools also make it harder for those players to get regular competition and scouting attention, which is why top baseball programs tend to be concentrated in warmer climates like California, Texas and Florida. The use of aluminum bats in college ball gives players a boost in power, and even the best college players can need years of development afterward to adjust their game. And so while dozens of college baseball players are drafted each year, it's not unusual for them to spend five years of obscurity in the farm system, which is part of the reason why many elite high-school players sign contracts right after graduation to get a jumpstart on the long road to the majors.
Unlike the meteoric rise of some football and basketball stars, baseball prospects face a long and unglamorous climb. That's because baseball is a game of failure...

Situated in what is affectionately known as the "Sunny South East" of Ireland, Kilkenny is home to approximately 25,000 people and is the smallest city in population in the Republic of Ireland, but don't let that fool you, sitting just 75 miles southwest of Dublin – Kilkenny is a hub of culture, beauty and history.
Often referred to as Ireland's Medieval Capital, Kilkenny draws thousands of historians, travellers, tourists and wide eyed visitors to experience the night life, the rich history and the beautiful streets of one of Ireland's most loved cities.
Kilkenny holds an ancient city status rightfully attributed due to the magnificent St. Canices Cathedral and an old royal charter dating back from 1609. The city has the greatest concentration of medieval churches in Ireland. It is sometimes referred to as the Marble City as black polished limestone ("marble") was quarried around the city. And of course, there's the beautiful Kilkenny Castle. Not just your average castle or piece of history, Kilkenny Castle is a one of the most recognisable - and most visited - buildings in Ireland. The castle was founded in medieval times, but it's most significant moments have been played out during more recent history. The castle was featured in Oliver Cromwell's re-conquest of Ireland in 1650; and was besieged during the Irish Civil War in 1922. So, if you're looking for a magnificent piece of architecture with a vibrant history – then look no further.
No stranger to the festival scene, Kilkenny plays host to three main festivals a year which bring large crowds from all over Ireland and further afield. In May the Rhythm and Roots music festival take place, June bank holiday weekend sees the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival takes place and in August the Kilkenny Arts Festival comes to life. Don't worry if you aren't visiting over the summer months as Kilkenny has so much more to offer in terms of entertainment than just festivals!
Langtons Bar & Club, Kilkenny is known for both the pub and the club – it has won National 'Pub of the Year' and it's equally impressive restaurant has won the National Restaurant Award on three occasions. Go here for some great grub and a real Kilkenny welcome. The same family own and run the Marble City Bar which is another local favourite for great good in lovely surroundings.
Beautiful scenery is a consistent finding in Kilkenny and you won't be hard pushed to find a beautiful garden or park to enjoy this fine scenery. Kilfane Glen and Waterfall is a pristine example of a romantic era garden dating from the 1790s – even in their nature, Kilkenny is historically rich. Untouched for 200 years this park is a paradise with a waterfall tumbling its way to a rushing stream and woodland paths leading to a beautiful cottage. Situated in Kilkenny city - Rothe House & Garden is a unique Irish merchant's townhouse, built between 1594 and 1610. The property comprises three houses, three enclosed courtyards and a large garden, all of which have been reconstructed to reflect a typical 17th century garden of the period so you can experience the beauty of the time.
In many ways, Kilkenny is a historian's dream city, but don't be put off by that if history isn't your thing because Kilkenny is still one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. A warm welcome, a great tradition of live Irish music and a city full of life awaits you in Kilkenny.

Anti-VFA caravan update
11:30 pm February 23, 2009
Reference: Prof. Jocelyn Bisuña, spokesperson, BAN BALIKATAN, 09086198971
Anti-VFA Caravan Went On to Full Swing Despite Numerous Checkpoints
US troops manning some checkpoints, using satellite to monitor caravan
The anti-Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) caravan is still on schedule even if there are numerous checkpoints set up the military and they held some of our vehicles. There are also US troops that have been manning checkpoints in at least two areas where the anti-VFA caravan has passed through.
According Prof. Jocelyn Bisuña, spokesperson of the Bikolano Alliance for Nationalism against Balikatan (BAN BALIKATAN), "Both the north and south contingents of our caravan have managed to keep their schedules. As of now there are more than 50 vehicles and other delegates are to follow suit. The north wing is now being blocked by the military in Tara, Sipocot, Camarines Sur and the south wing is in Juban, Sorsogon"
"But the military is doing all it can to delay and stop us, they even included some US troops in some of the checkpoints particularly that in Pili, Camarines Sur and Matnog, Sorsogon. They have also gone into a propaganda campaign to misinform and scare the Bikolano public from joining the caravan. We have also received reports that the US military is now monitoring the anti-VFA caravan using satellites" added the professor.
"There are no bounds to the temerity of the US troops in violating our Constitution and our sovereignty. We must stand against this and the government should immediately pull out both the US and Filipino troops in the checkpoints. If anything bad happens to us then we have nobody to blame but these soldiers," ended Bisuña.
