Wow. Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in press freedom, community radio, music outside the mainstream and everything else I've posted here in the past couple years. I've never been motivated by trying to drive traffic here, thus it took me years to get to 15,000 hits. Been more focused on keeping an archive of my writing, my radio work, aggregated news, and other fun stuff.
The day I got the most traffic (317 hits) was when I broke the news that the student government of Evergreen College was releasing footage (later removed from YouTube) of the infamous Valentine's Day Riot after Dead Prez played a show on our campus in February of 2008. My friends at 206 Zulu put together a thought-provoking video about that night. So check this out, and please come back to my site again soon!
MYTH: Evergreen students have no respect for authority. FACT: Olympia Police escalated a volatile situation, beat up random people, then fled the scene. (Unfortunately many kids lost control after seeing such an outrageous invasion of our institution by violent cops and sacrificed credibility for cathartic release on a symbol of police oppression, the cruiser. We can discuss whether property destruction is violence at a later date. It's bigger than hip hop.)

From John Quincy Adams to Charles Francis Adams, 6 December 1814
Ghent 6. December 1814.
My dear Son.
A few days ago, I received your Letter with two dates—the first of 4th: September; and the second of the 8th: November—It was marked number 6—But I had received and answered nearly a month since, another number 6 that was dated 8th. October—One of the two Letters should have been marked number 7—But there is another circumstance that I was not pleased to see—The last part of your Letter, dated 6th: November is written not so well as several that I had received from you before; and not even so well as you could write before I left St Petersburg. I am very glad that besides what you were taught at Mr [. . .] you are now learning Geography and dancing, but I hope you will not neglect your writing, and particularly that you will not be careless when you write to me—
I am thinking about the part that you have informed me you expect to perform on the 8th: of January—How I wish I could be there to see and hear you! but I think it will not be possible—Your little Cousin Caroline is a beautiful child and has grown very large and fat—and your great Cousin Caroline, I mean Mr Smith's sister, was married to Mr De Wint, at her and your Grandpapa's house at Quincy, on the 11th: of September.—I have not received any letter that mentions it, but your Aunt Smith shewed it to me in an American Newspaper—I think it very strange to have no Letters from Quincy, though two vessels have lately arrived from Boston at the [. . .]—
I am glad that you can paint so well as the [. . .] done that I received in one of your Mama's Letters I keep it still and hope you will continue to improve in drawing and in all other accomplishments—Being your affectionate father—
John Quincy Adams.

Spring 2017 Ready-to-WearAG
Celebrities have always been a part of the premium denim equation, but AG might have the coolest It girl roster. Daria Werbowy—also known as every fashion editor's style icon—was the face of the brand for several years. Now, it's Alexa Chung on the AG billboards, but both Werbowy and Chung embody the woman AG wants to attract: Cool, unfussy, and a little gamine.
So it makes sense that French New Wave films were the loose starting point for AG's Spring collection, which had Breton-striped tees, silk button-downs, and skinny knits with matching neck ties. But what of the jeans? This season, AG is banking on high-rise, straight-leg fits that mimic vintage Levi's 501s. Most of them have uneven hems, a result of the Vetements effect, with one jean mimicking the Vetements pair with a two-tone dye job, slashed hems, and shadow pockets on the back. If you'd told us two years ago that every woman would be lusting after those pieced-together jeans by 2016, we wouldn't have believed you. How ironic is it that the most unconventional label in recent memory has spurred a trend that touches every corner of the mall, from AG to H&M and Gap?

pension parachute(redirected from Pension Parachutes)
Pension parachute
A form of poison pill providing that in the event of a hostile takeover attempt, any excess pension plan assets can be used to benefit pension plan participants. This prevents the raiding firm from using the pension assets to finance the takeover. In the context of corporate governance, these provisions prevent an acquirer from using surplus cash in the pension fund of the target in order to finance an acquisition. Surplus funds are required to remain the property of the pension fund and to be used for plan participants' benefits.
Pension Parachute
An antitakeover measure where a company forbids the use of funds in its pension plan to finance a hostile takeover. Many pension plans contain cash over and above what is necessary to pay retired employees. Without a pension parachute, an acquiring company could use debt (or another mechanism) to finance a hostile takeover, and then use the excess cash in the target company's pension to pay itself back. The pension parachute requires the excess cash to go to pensioners only.
pension parachute
A pension agreement stating that, in the event of an unfriendly takeover, a firm can use any surplus pension assets to increase pension benefits. A pension parachute is used to make the firm less attractive to takeover, for it prevents the acquiring company from using the excess pension assets to help finance the acquisition.

Month: September 2018
No Means…
What does "No" mean to you? Most importantly, what does the word no mean to the person you are being intimate with. Ironically the word, sometime has little to no effect when used in the bedroom. People will push limits to see how far they can go, ignoring the word completely.
Its interesting how I still have conversations with people who have strong opinions about rape and or sexual allegations as a whole. These conversations prompted this blog post
Whats constantly questioned is how the victim allowed the situation in the first place. I'd like to start off by saying, we all at one point or another make an initial decision. Initial decisions are influenced by emotions, hormones, ideas, standards, or even expectations. But at any given point, we have the right to change our mind and say "no" and or use body language which implies a no. The problem arises when our voices are not heard. Maybe when the word no is said, it sounds playful to the other person. However when the word no is said, the result should not fall on the victim. A lot is involved in this encounter and these situations often are judged, the victim is blamed because she didn't fight or use other tactics to enforce her words. But what is the point of our words if we are not heard? And from a young age little girls are told not to fight back, and be a lady. Body language plays a big role as well, the body shows when it's closed off and vice versa. I believe that at any given moment anyone is allowed to change their mind. There are many different reasons why the victim may not have acted forcefully in the beginning. We all come from different socio-economic status, cultures, backgrounds, upbringing, and religions. Which means, some people were raised to speak up for themselves while others were not taught to assert their rights and instead were forced to ignore. Some grew up with people not listening to them and have gotten used to such dismissal. Many factors are involved in this ever so controversial interaction, but the big idea is if a person expresses denial in any form, there shouldn't be a hesitation to stop.
I also dislike hearing people say things like, "well look at what she was wearing, she was asking for it". Do you really think people ask to be dismissed, disrespected, hurt, mistreated, and undermined? Again I believe no matter the outfit, a woman has the right to wear whatever she pleases. A short dress, a bra, no bra, a v neck shirt, or whatever else she desires assuming the outfit is not hurting another. As women we experience so many double standards that keep us limited and are kept in old social ideals.
The word "no" is powerful, heavy, and important. How about instead of blaming the victims, we teach our children to speak up for themselves and let their voices be heard. It is more than ok for a little girl, lady, or woman to use her voice without being labeled bossy, controlling, emotional, unbalanced, rude, or uptight. Society has pushed these ideas upon us, which explains why so many females have quieted their voices and gotten used to being dismissed. In Malawi, Lilongwe they teach girls the power of consent in classrooms throughout the country. Simang'aliso Domoya teaches girls from ages 11-16 self-defense and self-empowerment classes. She has the girls repeat mantras like, "I am beautiful but I am powerful" and "Don't touch me, respect my body". Domoya teaches both verbal and physical self-defense in order to reduce sexual violence and assault but most importantly empowering them.
On the other hand, as teachers, parents, and or guardians we also can make an impact on teaching our boys, young adults consent. This goes both ways and at an early age, we can make an immense impact on how males interact with females. Teaching respect and boundaries early on and teaching our children the meaning of no can make a meaningful impact in our society. I hold an immense amount of respect for those gentlemen who do listen to the word no as they continue to make a difference in the world.
So why don't we create a movement like this? Lets raise, guide, encourage the feminine development. Rise up and speak out even if people judge you. The more we all speak our truth the easier it is for everyone to get used to. Get used to what? Get used to women having a voice no matter what. As you can see, there were many aspects discussed in this one blog. From sexual violence, consent, culture, upbringing, socio economic status, and feminism. Experiencing any lack of consent, changes you as an individual. It takes away your power and changes the way you view yourself. As a woman who has gone through lack of consent, I went through the 5 stages of grief. I didn't tell anyone because of all of the stigma that is attached to the word. I didn't even label it until a decade later. I learned through guidance and therapy to reclaim my power and fully accept what happened. As the #MeToo movement unfolded I started to realize how much this was happening to so many people around me. As women we hold the power and I believe we need to know this as young children so that we know how to express it later on in life. Women empowerment is big and in your face now, I want to help keep it going. Lets see more Serena Williams out there and reclaim the Devine feminine power.

Versuri Halford - 10.In a world of my Own Making
Album: Halford - FIGHT-A Small Deadly Space(cd remaster 2008-25 Juny)
10. In A World Of My Own Making [Halford/Tilse] If I could find a place To leave this world behind. Somewhere in time and space Where i could ease my mind. I'd take you there; Where we could be alone. No one can find this place; The secret will be ours. With no more pain to face; We'll live amongst the stars. In solitude, and we can wonder free. Alone, at last just you and me. Our island universe; A world unto its own. Forgetting all the worst of times, They're gone, You know we are as one To make a life of peace. Escape, into eternal sleep...

As you look for the best shoes for people who walk on their heels in and usual way, you will find there are several options out there to choose from. However, there are really only a couple of different brands which are likely to be the best for you. This is because some of the companies are known for putting more money into research and development than advertising, which increases costs and inflates prices. Take a look at these styles to see which ones work best for you.

(price as of Aug 1, 2013)
Ecco Shoes
You can get them in walking, athletic, or even casual and dress shoes. They are my favorite and have been for several years now. They have a very high arch support, which for some odd reason, has helped me with heel dragging, although it definitely hasn't completely cured it. I can only assume I unknowingly compensated with other shoes from a lack of arch support until I started wearing these. Reviews on this brand have typically been quite favorable, but of course, that will vary greatly. Just take a look at them and see if they will work for you. You just might find the most comfortable pair of shoes you've ever tried on. As a word of warning from personal experience – don't assume the arch is too high until you wear them for a while. I thought that initially, but quickly found they felt great once I got used to them being on my feet.

Vibram Fivefingers
In some cases, people walk on their heels or the side of their feet as a result of wearing shoes, often not walking in the same way when they are barefoot. For this reason, Vibram Fivefingers shoes are a good option. These are barefoot or minimalist shoes, however, so they offer very little support. You should be sure you are only walking awkwardly when wearing footwear before trying these. In addition, you need to build up your ability to wear them by wearing them for very short periods of time initially and slowly increasing the length of time you wear them. They are not very expensive, often costing less than $60, but there is a pricing variation, depending on what style you select.

Signs You Walk on Your Heel
There are several ways to tell if you walk on your heels. Since we really cannot naturally see the backs of our feet as we walk normally, there are some ways to find out if you are one of the people walking on your heels in an awkward manner.
Check the Bottom of Your Shoes: Take a look at the heel of your shoes and look for signs of uneven wear. I personally tend to drag my heels. I've been doing it for almost 40 years now and it's completely unrealistic, at least in my mind that it's going to magically change. I can tell I do this not only by the sound I make as I take a step, but by the way my shoe bottom wears out. Do you walk on the side of your feet? Do you put too much pressure on the sides of your heels or come down on them funny? You can tell just by taking a quick look.
Check the Insole: Take a look at the insole of your shoe. Remove it and lay it down on a flat surface. You can generally see if one end is crushed and matted down more than the other and it will let you know how you walk.
Have a Friend Look: Have someone walk directly behind you, several feet back and watch to see exactly how you are walking. Better yet, have them video tape it, so you can take a look for yourself. You might find that you only walk on one the heel of one of your feet and not the other. You might also find your heel slips out of your shoes with every step, indicating that you might just need to cinch them up.

Possible Corrective Actions
Some of the suggestions listed here are not truly going to stop you from walking on your heels. They will, however, reduce the problems that can arise from walking on your heels. It's actually bad on your joints and feet, so doing what you can to minimize the effects is a good idea.
Buy Appropriate Shoes: Don't go getting cheap on yourself now. I realize budgets are a concern for most people, but if you want to limit the issues you might feel as you get older, spend the money and get a quality pair of shoes. Ecco brands, in my opinion, have been the very best on the market today. The high arch support seems to almost force me to walk better. I cannot explain it quite properly, but it's definitely something I notice. Most people, once they start wearing decent footwear, start to notice a big difference in a short time.
Have Your Foot Measured: It's possible you are walking on your heels as a result of unconsciously compensating for shoes which are too small, crunching your toes, too narrow, placing pressure on the top and sides of your foot, or too big, causing your foot to slide around too much. All of these possible issues are easily fixed when you have your foot measured properly. Above all else, don't get hung up on the fact you might have to go up a shoe size.
Have Special Orthotics Inserts Made: You can have them tailor made, but you might have to see a podiatrist first. The good news is, you might be able to get your insurance company to cover one pair per year, possibly two pair, if you have really good health insurance. This can allow you to walk more normally and reduce the potential health problems you could face from not walking properly. This is definitely something you will want to look into as you search for solutions.

Free Practice SAT or PSAT Test
Burlington High School students can take either a free practice
test at BHS on Saturday 9/17 beginning at 9AM. In order to take either of these free tests students MUST register (registration information below).
We would recommend that seniors that missed the SAT last spring, or seniors that want to brush up on skills, take the free practice SAT test.
Juniors and sophomores will take the Collegeboard sponsored PSAT on 10/19. The test on 10/19 is a full scale PSAT, and If students score high enough they can potentially qualify for national merit. So for students in grades 10 and 11, the practice PSAT gives them a chance to prepare for the upcoming PSAT at BHS on 10/19. The PSAT on10/19 is NOT free for juniors, but is free for sophomores.
For either practice test on 9/17 it gives students a chance to practice under test conditions which hopefully reduces test day stress
Free Full Practice SAT Exam for class of 2017

Eliminating Data Uncertainties with Calibrated Building Energy Models
Our own Eveline Killian contributes to this article. Building energy models (BEMs), which simulate the view of energy use in a building, have been playing a more important role in building performance evaluation over the past few decades. While commonly used in building design, they can be particularly important in retrofit projects, where energy savings need to be identified and energy conservation measures proposed.

UMC Delivers Foundry Industry's First Fully Functional 28nm SRAM Chips
|(Nanowerk News) UMC, a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that it has manufactured the foundry industry's first fully functional 28nm SRAM chips. The chips are based on UMC's independently developed low-leakage (LL) process technology. UMC utilized advanced double-patterning immersion lithography and strained silicon technology to produce the chips, which feature very small six-transistor SRAM cell sizes of approximately 0.122 µm2.
|"UMC's continued R&D commitment has helped us maintain our leadership position in nanometer technology over the years," said S.C. Chien, vice president of advanced technology development at UMC. "We are excited about this latest achievement for 28nm, as it provides a solid starting point for further development of this technology node towards mainstream availability down the road. Improvements on areas such as minimum supply-voltage, modeling of strain effects, and natural yield will be our focus going forward."
|UMC incorporates a dual approach for its 28nm technology to address different market applications. The foundry uses conventional silicon gate/silicon-oxy-nitride gate oxide technology for its LL (low leakage) process, which is ideal for portable applications such as mobile phone ICs. UMC's second option will utilize a high-k/metal gate stack for speed-intensive products such as graphic, application processor, and high-speed communication ICs. UMC's 28nm process provides almost twice the density of the 40nm technology, which is currently being produced at its 300mm fabs. UMC will also provide foundry services for customized 32nm technologies based on its 28nm process platform.
|About UMC
|UMC is a leading global semiconductor foundry that provides advanced technology and manufacturing services for applications spanning every major sector of the IC industry. UMC's customer-driven foundry solutions allow chip designers to leverage the strength of the company's leading-edge processes, which include production proven 65nm, 45/40nm, mixed signal/RFCMOS, and a wide range of specialty technologies. Production is supported through 10 wafer manufacturing facilities that include two advanced 300mm fabs; Fab 12A in Taiwan and Singapore-based Fab 12i are both in volume production for a variety of customer products. The company employs approximately 13,000 people worldwide and has offices in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Europe, and the United States. UMC can be found on the web at http://www.umc.com.

It just doesn't get better than this! Tonight was the second night in a row of horse & yoga amazingness.
Last evening was a beautiful practice in the Hayloft, and tonight I met up with my gifted friend Matney to co-teach a private Horseback Yoga ~ Hoofbeat Attunement session to a dear friend and her lovely and articulate 14-year old stepdaughter.
Sometimes I am just in awe that this is my life! All my dreams have come true. I get to spend the next year and a half teaching more and more people this beautiful way to connect with themselves, their bodies, and their horses. What more could a girl ask for?
From the cool evening breeze to the thousands of lilies bordering the facility to the sweet connection that happened between Mike (the horse) and his human partners, it was a lovely session. Matney's deeply intuitive instruction and guidance is always so enlightening. Our darling participants were open and interested in absorbing all that they could from the experience. I am especially grateful to Mike for being such a sweet and instructive yoga teacher, offering licks and chews, nodding when in agreement, yawning, and turning his neck so he could see just what his rider was doing on his back each time she found a new pose. His partners really learned a new language thanks to his clear teaching. And thank you, ladies, for your sweet enthusiasm and making tonight just beautiful in every way.
I so look forward to many more Horseback Yoga ~ Hoofbeat Attunement collaborations in the future!
Stay tuned for more. And please contact Matney or myself to inquire.
Happy Trails!

DANIA BEACH, Fla. – The National Weather Service said a very weak tornado touched down Tuesday afternoon along State Road 84 just northwest of the Interstate 95/595 junction and tossed several small boats around.
Firefighters responded to Southwest 25th Avenue and State Road 84 about 1:15 p.m.
The EF-0 tornado damaged several small boats and ripped off paneling at Power Catamarans of South Florida.
"It was just a little thunderstorm and then all of a sudden it got loud, boats started flying by," said Bruce Wade, the owner of Power Catamarans of South Florida. "It was crazy for a while. Everything went black."
Wade said the storm sounded like a freight train.
"Never had anything move like this before," he said.
Wade said his business suffered about $6,000 worth of damage.

When I went Paleo, I thought I would never eat a bee sting pastry again. That was a pretty big blow. Even after I quit Paleo in favor of a more moderate diet, I figured the amount of refined flour and sugar would make it a "sometimes food" at best…and then my favorite baker moved out of town, taking all of her bee stings with her.
For those of you who have never seen one, a "bee sting" is a German pastry, two layers of yeasted cake filled with vanilla custard with a caramelized almond-honey topping. The one I've made was an elaborate production, complete with almost burning the custard and having just an awful time splitting the layers. It was a delicious mess, and one I figured I just wouldn't deal with again.
Until last week, when David Lebovitz posted a recipe for miella, French snack cakes with the same crunchy almond-honey topping. His use of almond flour piqued my curiosity — could I make a gluten-free, even Paleo, version of my all-time favorite pastry? Continue reading

text: Brown's first visit to the Middle East attempts to bolster trade in the region [AFP] Brown promised to offer additional financial support and police training to the Palestinian government and said that economic prosperity was key to peace, and urged an easing of Israeli travel restrictions in the West Bank that contribute to hindering commerce. Israel response Brown later visited Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, who admitted he had taken criticism on the settlements issue. However, Olmert said: "I am absolutely confident, Mr Prime Minister, that this should not stand in the way of achieing an agreement between us and the Palestinians. We are closer then ever to an agreement. "We have some disagreements which are very significant but I believe we can overcome [these]," by then end of this year. Olmert was speaking at a joint press conference with Brown in Jerusalem. Nour Odeh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Bethlehem, said Brown had earlier pledged $60m in aid this year in aid to the Palestine Authority. Brown promised British support in developing housing, industrial parks and small businesses. "We know that there are huge issues that are being discussed at the moment on security, issues about the future of different parts of the region," he said. "But we also know the important contribution that the prospect of prosperity and economic development can make to this region". However, Brown's pledge to provide more aid follows a list of similar promises. Less than half the money promised at last year's Paris Donors' conference has materialised. Meanwhile, Odeh said: "At this point it doesn't look like he'll be offering more than political support. As long as the [seperation] wall continues, and Israeli settlements are expanding, any prospect for peace diminishes by the minute and by the hour." Brown is to move on to Jerusalem where he will Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, following a stop in Iraq where he will meet Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister. SOURCE: Al Jazeera

Back to my car I grabbed my camera and the next thing I saw was a Gambrel's Quail sitting in a bush overlooking his family. I was too far to get a good photo. So back to my car I went again to get my spotting scope. Now, I was all ready for some serious birding. But where did they go? I could hear a bird mocking me with every bird song he knew and I couldn't find him. I was not deterred and kept looking.
One of the big deals at Ash Meadows are the pupfish. Since I hadn't seen any at Salt Marsh Creek this was the perfect opportunity for find them here. And sure enough as the trail crossed a small stream and then swung by a larger King's Pool at Point of Rocks, I saw the Endangered Ash Meadows Amargosa pupfish.
The males were a beautiful blue, all the more striking as they fed on the brilliant green algae. The females were more green. These photos are not enhanced, the fish really are very brilliant.
My photos are fuzzy because I couldn't get my camera to focus through the water. I certainly could have used that SLR that I decided not to buy. Darn! Anyway I enjoyed seeing them close up through my binoculars.
HERE is a Youtube video I made of them swimming. Some of the males were defending their territory and would chase away intruders.
I kept hearing that expert singer calling in the distance and finally tracked him down and added another life bird to my list. With my scope I had a good long look and easily confirmed that it was a Crissal Thrasher. Since it is only found in 5 states I couldn't have been happier.
Still looking for birds I moved on to other trails but the wind and cold were getting worse. I did pick up a few pods from a Screwbean Mesquite (Prosopis pubescens) that reminded me of beads like the Pickleweed at Salt Creek Marsh. These provide food for coyotes and small mammals and in turn they distribute the seeds for the tree.
Next I drove to another section of the refuge to Crystal Marsh where the wind was pretty fierce and the ducks were all hunkered down and hidden back in the bushes along the shore but what a view this lake was.
The blue colors here was as brilliant as those in the pupfish.

Plenty of professionals will have jetted off somewhere sunny for half term this week, but it's likely that most business owners have stayed put. According to a PR survey published today, entrepreneurs took just 11 days of holiday last year – less than half the 28 days (including bank holidays) that most full-time workers are legally entitled to.
That shouldn't come as a surprise. Most business owners are driven and extremely focused on making a success of things. But not taking some time to unwind and de-stress can be extremely detrimental to your health, and consequently to your business's performance.
Apparently even those who do get some time away from the grindstone find it hard to disconnect entirely. The survey of 500 business owners (perhaps not the most representative sample size), conducted by AXA PPP, found that 86% continued to have some form of contact with their company while on holiday.
Almost two thirds (64%) said they took important phone calls and 20% admitted they continued to take calls and deal with emails 'as normal'. And it's not like their normal working day is relaxed either – while entrepreneurs spend an average of 36 hours per week in the office, they also do 17 hours of work at home.

'It's understandable that owners want to keep an eye on their businesses, even when they are on holiday, but it is concerning that they take so little time off and that they view their break so negatively,' said Glen Parkinson, AXA PPP's SME business director (enough acronyms for you?). 'We know the importance of downtime, not just for wellbeing but also for ensuring productivity and good mental health.'
It's not easy to find the time to relax and stay healthy when you're juggling your own life with the needs of a business. But don't forget that if you get ill or burn out then your business will suffer too.

It has been suggested, or rather lamented, that we cannot love as God loves. For God loves without limits, and we cannot seem to live without erecting borders, whether national or personal. Humankind does not love. But, I would also add, humankind does not live either, precisely because they do not love. It is our own limitations that blind us to the truth of Ephesians 3:20, "Now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…" If our own limitations lead us to think that most of humankind will forever abide in Hell without end; we must be reminded God is able to do exceeding abundantly above what we think. We must not project our own limitations on God.
It is a sad state of the Christian Church that its members look with despair upon their brothers and sisters and have no hope. The parable of the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the one sheep which was lost is, in the eyes of Church members, just wishful thinking. For the reality is the beggar on the street, the homeless under the bridge, the addict in the drug house, the rebellious brother, sister, mother, or father who did not make a profession of faith toward God—none of them were rescued by the Good Shepherd. God is, in the end, a failure. And God failed because the one being rescued did not reach out to Him.
Dear Body of Christ, God cannot fail. God will not fail. Do not look with despair towards the end. Our story is a triumph, not a tragedy. And if your understanding of salvation will not allow you to hope in this manner, then you have a terrible understanding of salvation. For God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. And the God who loves without limits can cause you to love as he loves too. For to love your neighbor is to love God; and to love God is to love your neighbor. One cannot be done without the other.

Liner Notes
Carthy Sisco was born on August 17, 1921, in Carroll County, in the northwest corner of Arkansas. His family homesteaded on an 80-acre hill farm of corn and tomatoes about 12 miles south of Berryville. It was a large family, eleven children in all. Children did much of the work and hired out to othersdropping plants off at marker crosses in the field, then planting, thinning, and eventually plowing up the ground again. For all this hard work, Carthys family never seemed to make any kind of profit, a deciding factor in his later migration to the West Coast.
Carthys father was a five-string banjo picker who played mostly clawhammer style, but also some two-finger picking that Carthy calls fingertipping. He didnt have a case for the banjo, so he kept it in a flour sack. Carthy remembers his father playing Turkey in the Straw and a song called Old Aunt Kate, something about old Aunt Kate she jumped in the bed and I jumped in behind her. Other songs Carthy remembers from his fathers playing are Going Across the Sea and The Bluebells of Scotland. All eleven children played an instrument; as Carthy puts it, they were always thumpin around.
His father started taking him to dances at age three. As soon as the playing began, Carthy would fall asleep to his fathers banjo and the fiddling of a man named Delton Hitson.
At five, Carthy began making and playing cornstalk fiddles. He would saw across the stalk and hum the tune while hed play. But by the time he was seven, Carthy had decided that he wanted to play the banjo. His father taught him to play clawhammer style, and Carthy tried to play a few fiddle tunes. Carthy remembers that he wanted to be able to get more of the notes in a tune. With no other teachers of banjo available, he says, I got frustrated with the banjo, I couldnt do what I wanted to with it. One of their neighbors, the Ramsey brothers, played a three-finger style of banjo that Carthy liked. He describes it as what Earl Scruggs got the credit for. They were doing that way back when I was a kid. Some old guys back in the hills there. Probably never got 15 miles away from home all their life.
But the Ramseys were not gregarious and lived too far away for a young child to visit. This was only one aspect of the isolation that Carthy grew up in. He recalls winters were so bad that after trying to get to school twice and not getting through, he had to give up. The roads were rough, and most people didnt have cars. Carthy made it through the eighth grade, which involved a three-mile walk, but he couldnt go to high school, as he was too far out in the country and couldnt afford to pay someone to board in town.
Frustrated with the banjo and his inability to play tunes on it, Carthy focused on the fiddle. His father helped him start to learn tunes and was proud of his sons ability. Carthy made a chair out of a tomato crate so that he could sit on it to practice. He transferred the four or five banjo tunes he knew over to fiddle. The first tune he remembers learning was Coal Creek Mine. He describes the rest of the tunes he learned as a boy as easy or standard: tunes such as Turkey in the Straw, Soldiers Joy, Going across the Sea, Arkansas Traveler, Black Eyed Susie, Why Do You Bob Your Hair, Girls, Eighth of January, and Wagoner. Often he would just learn part of a tune, not the whole thing. He would try to remember as much of it as he couldtaking his fiddle out as soon as he got homebut it could be years before he would get the whole tune.
The small farms that were part of Carthys growing up were so scattered that music gatherings were rare. However, Carthys older sisters played guitar and banjo to back him up, and the three of them would play with a boy named Claude Hitson for very occasional dances or school shows. If a family didnt have musicians of its own, people were especially glad to have music in a way we can scarcely comprehend today. Once in a great while, according to Carthy, they would have a fiddle contest in the public square in the center of Berryville. Typically, contests occurred during election seasons, with politicians stumping as the fiddlers played.
In addition, Carthy heard some recorded music. Someone got a crank phonograph, so people bought records from Sears Roebuck, three for a dollar. In the Sisco family, the children were given turns choosing what records to buy. Carthys first choice was Bill and Charlie Monroe. He also had records of the Carter Family and one of his favorite fiddlers, Arthur Smith.
Carthys best venue for playing was local dances. He calls his style hoe-down from hearing and later playing tunes at dances. It informs his accents, style, and speed to this day. He knew so few tunes that hed repeat them a lot if the dances went late, which they usually did. No one minded, and dancers would often request the same tune again anyway.
They danced mostly squares, with an occasional two step. Back then he didnt
know any waltzes. Dances were simpler, and there were no callers. Instead, someone
in the square just hollered out what move you were supposed to do, circle
eight, maybe chase the rabbit. One dance that was outlawed
was called Chase the Squirrel. People would be in a line and the
one on the end could get injured, especially if people were drinking. Almost
every coat hanging up had a revolver in it, and firearms combined with drinking
made things pretty rowdy.
Often the dances were in someones home, with the furniture moved out of a couple of rooms and a square set up in each room. Floors were rough and wooden, not suitable for too many fancy moves. At some dances, they would charge the gents 10 cents a set to help pay for the music. Musicians could make up to 25 cents and get free drinks. The Sisco family hosted a dance but quit after three of them because of trouble brewing. At all the dances, fighting broke out, typically over whose turn it was to dance next. Carthy remembers one man named George Williams who built a small building to get three squares in instead of just one per room, so that the community could have regular square dances. But after about three or four dances the drinking and fighting would shut things down. Carthy says that Williams was a pretty good size fella and carried a claw hammer in his back pocket. And he placed it pretty good....I guess he had a reputation of using it if hed need to.
In 1937, when he was 16, Carthy joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, lying about his age so that he could get in. Workers made $30 a month, with $25 of this sent back as mandatory family allotment checks. These checks were life savers for the folks at home battling the Great Depression. The CCC at this time was in its prime, and local communities were proud of the CCC workers, who constituted something like a peacetime army, with more than 20,000 Arkansas men serving in camps all over the country as well as in 77 camps in their home state. Along with 150 other young men, he lived in a barracks, spending two years in the southwest corner of Arkansas near Fayetteville building dams, roads, and buildings for Devils Den State Park, at the bottom of the steep Lee Creek.
Carthy made many good friends during these years. Most of his comrades were from different counties in Arkansas. After work, they would gather to have some fun. Every camp had a room that served as a recreation center and canteen or PX. Here, the men could relax with ping-pong and drink Coca Colas. Carthy and the other musicians would gather around the piano to play the few tunes they knew in common and learn each others tunes. Some young men had brought instruments, including Carthy, who had his fiddle. They formed a makeshift band of piano, guitars, and fiddles.
In addition, they could get the Grand Old Opry on the radio from about 8 p.m. until midnight. Carthy remembers hearing the Fruit Jar Drinkers and Roy Acuff among others. Bob Wills was one of his favorites on KVOO in Tulsa, as well as Arthur Smith. Radio was a special treat since at home Carthys family couldnt afford the battery for a radio.
Soon after his time in the CCC ended, Carthy was faced with some pretty bleak job prospects. Sharecroppers had come back from California with what seemed like a lot of money, so he and a neighbor took a bus out that way. But when they got to California, no one was hiring. So with the little money he still had from his CCC work, he took the bus north to stay with his sister Opal, who was living near Sedro-Woolley, WA, a tiny town northeast of Seattle where there was a small community from Arkansas. But Carthy didnt feel he was cut out to be a logger, the major employment there. He signed up for Boeings vocational education program to learn about working with sheet metal and blueprint reading. Then he was sent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, across the Sound from Seattle. In August 1943, Carthy was drafted. He spent about a year and a half in the Philippines, much of it up in the mountains.
After the war he married and they moved back to Washington where his job in the Bremerton ship yards was waiting. He spent 37 years there working with black and galvanized iron in the aircraft sheet metal shop. Between the duties of work and raising children there wasnt much time for music.
In the fifties and sixties he almost gave up fiddling. Television come along, you know, and that kind of took over everything...you didnt have any place to practice with the television going. Once in a while Id go into the bedroom or somewhere and saw a little bit. But there wasnt a lot of tunes to learn, you know, on the radio was all country western ... People started just hanging their fiddles up on the nail on the wall as ornaments. It seemed like a time when if somebody heard you playing the fiddle, theyd ride you out of town on a rail.
Abandoning the fiddle, he looked for other musical outlets. He picked up an old guitar at a hock shop and started playing Jimmy Rodgers and Ernest Tubb songs and songs off the radio. He also started playing the mandolin. He and his wife danced with the Square Dance Federation for 12 years. But according to Carthy, callers were what run fiddling out of square dancing, since it was more convenient for callers to buy records and call with them rather than use live musicians.
For Carthy, the early 1970s was the beginning of a new life in music. The key
for him was the Washington Old-Time Fiddlers Association, with its jams, campouts,
and contests. It was at those early Bremerton WOTFA meetings where he met Boyce
Stuckey and Henry Mitchell, who were both fiddlers from Arkansas. Years ago,
at the St. Vincent de Paul store in Bremerton, Carthy had found an old casket
case fiddle that had come apart, but it had only cost $2. He called Henry
up to get his fiddle glued up. Carthy remembers the call vividly:
He said, Bring it up and Ill glue it up for you. So I took it up there and said, Whats it gonna cost me? He said, Do you play? Well, I said, well, I play a little. Well, he said, the better you play, the less it costs. That was the type of guy Henry was.
The job ended up costing $25 and the two men became good friends. Henry got Carthy interested in violin making, and the first one he made didnt turn out too bad.
Carthy has played at the Fiddle Tunes Festival in Port Townsend, at Seattles Northwest Folklife Festival, and at countless jam sessions and WOTFA events. He is always ready to play tunes, and hes still learning new ones as if, after his early starvation for tunes, he just cant get enough. But once he gets a hold of a tune, he makes it his own, especially through his rhythmic bowing shuffles. Often, these rhythms rejuvenate the tune and offer a wonderful new version. Those of us who have played with him have come to call this process Carthyizing. For example, Carthy worships Kenny Baker and has learned many of his tunes, but it is as if he has put them in an Ozarkian Peabodys Wayback Machine, conforming them to his fabulous light bow shuffle and making them old-time.
Carthy continues living at his home in Rosedale, Washington, where he welcomes visiting fiddlers and other musicians for a session just about any time!
1. Acorn Hill Breakdown (Key of D). This tune was written by Tommy Jackson, one of Carthys favorite fiddlers.
2. Cowhide Boots (Key of G). Learned from a tape of Missouri fiddler
Lyman Enloe.
3. Soapsuds (Key of A). Carthy doesnt remember where he got this tune.
4. Barley Corn (Key of G). Kenny Baker recorded this tune on his 1988 album on Amber Records, Carpetbagger. To Carthy it feels a lot like Old Mother Flannigan. He thinks he may also have heard it on KRAB radio back in the 1970s. He often cites this now defunct radio station as a real lifeline when there wasnt much support for fiddling.
5. Dubuque (Key of D). Carthy isnt sure where he learned this, perhaps from the playing of Ron Hughie, a Missouri fiddler who lived in California and was an important influence on many old time musicians on the West Coast.
6. Blue Ridge Breakdown (Key of A). Carthy isnt sure where he learned this tune.
7. Texas Quickstep (Key of C). This is one of the few tunes that Carthy remembers learning from his friend Delton Hitson when he was a young teenager.
8. Little Nancy Rowland (Key of G). Carthy learned this tune from a tape sent to him by Dave Rainwater, a local mandolin player who became a fiddler and then moved from the area.
9. The Old Grey Mare Came Tearing out of the Wilderness (Key of A). This tune was popularized as a 19th century minstrel song; Carthy learned it from a tape of Kenny Baker.
10. Kiss Me Waltz (Key of G and D). Carthy says he heard two versions of this: the first was from Bill Monroes Uncle Pen album on KRAB radio, and the second, which he liked better, was from Dave Rainwater. Although this waltz is often attributed to Bill Monroe, banjo player and historian Clarke Buehling (who has played with Carthys brothers AJ and Troy, who lived in Conway, Arkansas) unearthed sheet music of the original, Il Bacio or The Kiss Waltz by Luigi Arditi, dating from the middle of the 19th century.
11. Chickens Under the Back Porch (Key of C). This tune is on Kenny Bakers 1979 Farmyard Swing LP on County.
12. Walking in My Sleep (Key of G). Kenny Bakers 1969 County LP Portrait of a Bluegrass Fiddler was Carthys source for this version of the old Southern fiddle tune.
13. Rachel (Key of D). Carthy cant remember where he first learned this well known tune, which is commonly played by many of the Washington Old-Time Fiddlers.
14. Cumberland Gap (Key of G). We were astonished when Carthy told us that he learned this tune, usually associated with Appalachian music, from the playing of Dewey Balfa on KRAB radio, but who knows?
15. Peter Went A-Fishing (Key of A). All Carthy remembers about this tune is that he got it off an old 78.
16. Sally Ann (Key of G). Texas fiddler Shorty Chancellor may have been the source for Carthys version of this tune, which is very similar to Sail Away Ladies.
17. Chuckaluck (Key of G). Carthy says he learned this from Kenny Baker.
18. F & D. This tune came from a home recording of the fiddler who wrote it, Ron Hughie.
19. Whitehorse Breakdown (Key of G). Another tune from Kenny Bakers playing, and one of Carthys signature tunes. Bill Monroe wrote it shortly before performing at the bluegrass festival in Darrington, Washington, and he named it for nearby Whitehorse Mountain.
20. Barbara Allen (Key of A). Carthy says he learned this version of the old ballad from Billy Baker.
21. Brandywine (Key of G). The first Kenny Baker album Carthy ever bought was the 1972 County LP Kenny Baker Country, from which he learned this tune.
22. New Five Cents (Key of D). Carthy learned this tune from someone fiddling on television.
23. Coker Creek (Key of G). From Kenny Bakers album Carpetbagger.
24. Pikes Peak (Key of C). Carthy thinks he learned this tune from Hank Bradley at an Old Time Fiddlers party or from KRAB years ago.
25. New Broom (Key of G). This tune comes to Carthy from Byron Berlines seminal 1977 Rounder album Dads Favorites, a favorite with many fiddlers in Washington.
26. Birdie (Key of C). Carthy learned his version from Kenny Baker and Joe Greenes 1967 High Country LP on County.
27. Rugged Road (Key of G). The playing of Lyman Enloe was Carthys source for this tune.
28. What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Key of D). Carthy learned this hymn from Billy Bakers 1979 album on Old Homestead, Fiddle Classics Vol. 1.

Amelia Crouch
'Tomorrow belongs to nobody' explores our relationship with Coventry's post-World War II architecture. It depicts a series of actions performed in the cityscape. Movements including reaching, spinning and falling are intended to evoke associations with past industrial processes and present work capacity tests – both of which involve a conception of human agency as ordered and rational.
Referencing City Architect Donald Gibson's aspiration to cultivate "a healthy body, a cultured mind and a radiant soul" 'Tomorrow belongs to nobody' queries this idea of rational agency and considers the increasing individualisation of society over the years since the inception of modernist Coventry. Whilst we may now question modernist ideals of rationality and progress ought we still value the utopian social ideals embedded in Coventry's buildings?
Amelia Crouch is an artist whose work plays with words as simultaneously material and symbolic signifiers. Her work is often inspired by a particular location, and projects have included using words to describe visual images, creating an artist's book from interviews with members of the public, and mimicking the language of public signage to inform people's encounters with a place. She is particularly interested in the interaction of visual and verbal modes of representation, linguistic ambiguity, and bodily or spatial codes, such as shaking hands or walking in the landscape.

Fear of Failure
At 25 years old I foolishly started a car rental agency during the most challenging economic time in my lifetime. Within a year I had closed the business, feeling like a failure.
That fostered a fear of failure that almost prevented me from launching, what today is Unconventional Business Network. In retrospect, I learned my failure had better prepared me for success.
When he seceded Moses, Joshua feared failing, but he was comforted with Deuteronomy 31:8, "The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
Fear of failure prevents many from pursuing God's calling. Remember, the Lord will go ahead of you. Without failure we can rarely experience true success.

He played in 8 Euroleague games (4.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.6 blocked shots, 11.6 minutes), 5 PBL games (6.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.6 blocked shots, 13.9 minutes) and 4 VTB United League games (8.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.8 blocked shots, 16.9 minutes).
Dmitry Shakulin, CSKA interim coach:
I am thankful to Boban for his hard work during practices, his professional approach, for everything he did for the team. I am sure that he deserves to play more and in our system he does not receive enough playing time. I am glad that he got the chance to continue playing in the Euroleague, moreover he will play for such a glorious club as Zalgiris were he will be able to improve. We consider Boban as a promising player, we count on his progress, we wish him best of luck and we hope that next year upon returning to our team's camp he will be able to jump to the next level in his game.

Hello- I'm fairly new to ABC and Hardanger fiddling and am trying to convert manuscripts into ABC files.
I'm running into at least three different issues
using Easy ABC 1.3.5 on a Mac
Background: The Hardanger fiddle is often tuned different from a violin, but it is quite standard to transcribe the notes so they "look" like they would be fingered on a regular violin- a common example is the bottom string is usually tuned up one whole note to an "A," instead of the violin "G,". However, it is typical to write music for the Hardanger and note the "A," as a "G," . That makes ABC playback an issue, but I'm actually not worried about that. The result is that a violinist will read the warped notation and put down the correct finger.
1. When Hardanger tunes are in the key of D or A, it is traditional to put a natural sign in the C position "=C" . That tells the violinist not to stretch to the ^C position (because it is actually a B, note. Clear as mud?
So my question is why won't my Easy ABC put a natural sign in the lower C position. I've tried K:D ^C and tried K:D exp ^f ^c =C" but it ignores the capital C and places the natural sign up on the "c" location.
2. It is also typical for Hardanger music to have a chord before the clef (in the first line only) that contains the tuning of the 4 strings. Any sugestions for doing that?
3. Hardanger fiddling makes almost constant use of drone strings and double-stops (think 2 note chords). I find that using chord notation is too messy on paper-- the melody line gets lost, so I often use two voices ( &) within the same bar to keep the music clean. However, if I put a grace note in the lower voice at the beginning of a bar (immediately after the ampersand &), my EasyABC moves the grace notes to the end of the preceding bar. :-( Any fixes to that?
Thanks so much for any input!

"I have made some very significant revisions to this latest Sidewinder. The most noticeable is the shortened body length. While I shortened the body, I also was able to lengthen the armature bar substantially. This allows for a harder hitting machine with less spitting and nipple shredding issues.
The stoke adjustment has a click locking mechanism. It won't move on it's own, but with a gentle turn, the knob can be finely tuned for that perfect hit at your desired voltage/speed.
I have also included a follower spring to the pivot mechanism. This allows for a wider power band for those who want it slow and hard or fast and softer.
Another plus is that you can use it as an emergency backup spring for either the main pivot or stroke. All the springs are interchangeable now!
On the subject of breaking springs, I have incorporated backer springs for the pivot and stroke. This should dramatically reduce the risk of breakage!
I have increased the weight slightly. All the weight is forward and balanced, and the added heft really soaks up the vibration and adds to the precision and efficiency of the machine. The clipcord connection is also moved forward to help with the weight offset.
I have been on a constant mission to develop a Sidewinder that is easier to tune, stay in tune, and be able to drive the largest of liners, while having a large enough power band to handle the small stuff as well.
This machine has met those requirements, and I am excited to get them into the hands of skilled tattooers!
Loving your labor begins with the right tools!"

I don't know what you have been doing this fall. Personally, I have been knee deep in college application essays. I have been reviewing and editing the application essays of 50-plus seniors, who attend excellent top-ranked high schools, almost all public ones. Once again, I have come to the same sad conclusion. As I said to a class of seniors at an elite high school a couple of weeks ago, "You write like third graders."
Okay, maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but it got their attention. What I meant was that they were making mistakes in their writing—grammar, punctuation, word choice, and more—that they should have stopped making back in middle school, or earlier. So, think of this as a wake-up call to you, parents, and to your kids.
Here is the big problem: You can't really fix a high school senior's writing in the middle of trying to get his or her college application essays created, reviewed, and submitted on time. There is too much pressure then, and there is too little time. Those of you who have seniors at home are going to need to do the best you can in a hurry. But, those of you who have a freshman or sophomore or junior at home can do better. Those of you who have a middle school kid can do even better. You can start working to improve your kid's writing in a serious way right now so that a future fall's college application season will be a lot easier for both of you.
Of all the essays I have read and edited in the past few weeks, I found one essay that was surprisingly well written, especially from a mechanics point of view. I called the young man aside and said, "How did you learn to write like this when no one else in your class seems able to do it?" His answer was immediate and seemed exactly right to me.
He said that he had worked regularly with a writing tutor since he had been in ninth grade. His tutor went over his written work and showed him how to improve it. She worked shoulder to shoulder with him, line by line, in many sessions. I got the feeling that she was relentless and demanding. He said that he did not enjoy writing. But he sure could do it.
In my experience, both with students and with my own three children, this is what it takes to improve someone's writing. It is not lessons taught from the front of a classroom. It is painstaking discussion and editing of the student's own work, with the student watching and learning and absorbing and understanding the reason for every change that is being made. It sounds slow and laborious, and it is. But it works, and I am not sure that anything else does.
Here is the rest of the problem. Today's high school English teachers cannot do that for their students. I wish they could. Imagine trying to correct the written work of 150 students on a one-line-at-a-time basis—or even of 100 students or even of 50 students—day after day and week after week while talking through those corrections with each student one by one. And, of course, that's not all English teachers have to do.
Parents of middle school and high school students, do this now: If you can help your own teenager learn to write well—and by "well," I really mean correctly—then do so, by all means. If you cannot, for whatever reason, then consider getting the kind of over-the-shoulder tutoring help that is much more likely to ensure your kid's success than hoping for the best from your kid's school.
Parents, I believe this is on you.

(2 Thessalonians 2:3)
***ASK BILL: Pastor Bill, is it ok if a single lady adopts a child?
ANSWER: It is legal, but it is not the ideal situation to raise a child. God's plan is for a man and woman who both have committed their lives to the Lord and to each other through marriage, to raise children in that loving, nurturing, Godly environment. Those who selflessly choose to adopt a child or children are special people.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." 2 Thess. 2:3
The movies "Noah" and "Son of God." are the end result of the watering down and compromising of God's Word these past 40 years. Probably nothing has upset me more during my 22 years in ministry than watching the compromise and watering down of the Bible. It seems not a week goes by that the evidence of this isn't manifested in what is happening in our culture. You can look at all of the sin, rebellion, and worship of false gods and idols in our nation, but the greatest sign of all that God's wrath and judgment is imminent is the apostasy of the church!!!
Let's start with the most recent example, the long anticipated movie that started last Friday, "Noah." There are more than enough Biblically sound people out there correctly identifying scene by scene the complete heresy of this movie. Just Google: "Noah movie heresy". You will get tons of links to great expositions on the false theology of this movie. Sadly, this movie will not only promote heresy to already Biblically illiterate Believers, but also give non-Believers outright lies they think justify their non-belief!
The bottom line is that "Noah" is little more than Hollywood bait and switch, boldly banking (and based on the first weekend box office numbers correctly so) on the ignorance and Biblical illiteracy of most Christians. The Bible clearly lays out that God sent the great flood because of man's gross sin and wickedness, and only in His mercy spared the human race through Noah and his family. Hollywood's "Noah" makes the case that God sent the flood because of man's sin and rebellion against nature! It is nothing more than environmental propaganda!!!
I could go on and on laying out the non-stop heresy in this Hollywood con job on the naive Christian community, but you can check out the Google links for a full report on the false theology of this movie. Suffice it to say that any movie on Noah and the flood that fails to use the word "GOD" even ONE TIME, says all that you need to know!!!
Of course, a few weeks ago it was "Son of God," created primarily from scenes and outtakes from the recent mini-series "Bible" on the History Channel created by reality TV genius Mark Burnett and his actress wife Roma Downey. Now these two are much more clever than the "Noah" creators. For both "Bible" and "Son of God," they worked the big names in the Christian world in advance, getting their endorsements to give the mini-series and movie credibility with the Christian public. Of course, the usual cast of characters, Osteen, Warren, TBN, CBN, various Christian TV "stars," and others were only too happy to be part of "Hollywood!"
I will let God judge the hearts of Burnett and Downey as to if they are really saved since they both claim to be Christians. I have never heard Burnett share anything close to a true Biblical conversion experience when talking about his faith. Downey comes out of a Roman Catholic background and has an extensive history in the New Age movement she lumps in with Biblical Christianity calling it all "spirituality." I can only say that the mini-series, "Bible" was incredibly lacking from a true-to-the-Bible standpoint, as was their movie, "Son of God."
Both projects had INCREDIBLE evangelistic opportunities, and both failed to deliver miserably. I simply can't understand what there is to hide? If you are promoting something as Christian, then it wouldn't be a shock to anyone that you told the story true to the Bible and at some point clearly delivered the Gospel. Not in code, or in some veiled form, but the truth that because of your sins, without faith in Jesus your eternal soul will be damned for all etenrity in hell. However, through faith in Jesus your sins will be forgiven and you have the promise of eternity in Heaven with God your Creator when this brief journey through life is over!!!
Of course, in neither the mini-series or movie did they even attempt any sort of evangelistic outreach through the productions themselves. I am well aware they did create some sort of workbooks and other resources to make even more money by selling them to churches, though I have not seen any of that material and have NO CLUE how Biblically accurate it is or if it encourages evangelism in any way.
Regardless, those materials will never be read or studied by 95% of the people who saw the mini-series or movie, and the opportunity to portray the Bible and the life of Christ BIBLICALLY and include a clear presentation of why a person needs salvation and the invitation to make that decision for Jesus…whether a person is watching in a theater, at home, their office, or wherever…MUST be included. WHY NOT IF THAT IS WHAT WE CLAIM TO BELIEVE???
Sadly, this lack of Biblical accuracy, lack of evangelism, are all byproducts of a compromised church with a compromised message. THIS is why I have railed against gutless cotton candy ear ticklers like Osteen who masquerade as preachers when they are nothing but a motivational speakers.
THIS is why I have railed against the man-made marketing plans like seeker/purpose driven/emerging church/prosperity gospel, all designed simply to put warm bodies in a "campus," not converts to the faith in a sanctuary!
THIS is also why I have continually warned you about those who condone gross sin, those who have made a business of the Gospel, and those who entrap people with the lies of the cults, false religions, and new age philosophies!
Over these past decades it has led to a weak, bloated, apathetic, Biblically illiterate church whose congregations are mostly unable to articulate the basics of their faith, what God's Word says, not to mention having the faith necessary to fight life's daily problems in victory or to serve our Lord in any meaningful way. Additionally, it would be a shock if people knew how small a percentage of Believers have EVER led even one person to faith in Jesus!!!
I love and care about you so much. We are living in a day of such weak and compromised preaching that people who I have no dobut love Jesus, get excited over anything produced that is supposed to reinforce their faith. Christians are so hungry for a chance to tell OUR STORY that we end up supporting productions that fall so woefully short of being Biblically accurate or telling the most meaningful Truth of all, the Gospel message! They have been targeted by master marketeers looking to make a quick buck by promoting anything that is "Christian," without being true to God's Word or giving a legitimate presentation of the Gospel.
Worst of all, Christians don't seem to know, or if they do, don't care! That is the point! The world as well as many within the Christian community are simply looking to feast on the hunger Christians have, knowing that they will partake of about anything with the name God, Jesus, or Bible in it! It is a sad commentary on an apostate church that more than anything else has told me God's judgment and wrath on this nation is imminent.
The only thing that will withhold that judgment and wrath is turning back to God, His Truth, while helping to usher in a TRUE revival across this nation that won't be anything man-made or man-led, but Holy Spirit driven!!! THAT is why I wake up each day, since I know God has called His work here at Liveprayer to utilize our proven ministry tools through Liveprayer.com and Liveprayer TV to play a big role in making that happen..THIS YEAR!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller

Watercolour Painting with Penny Maddison
Date: To be advised
Time: 10am - 4pm (over 2 Days)
Cost: $222 - Participants to provide their own materials
Places: 12 Maximum
Penny Maddison is professional artist specialising in Watercolour and drawing.
Penny Maddison was born in 1949 in Kuching, Sarawak. Later the family moved to Darlington in Western Australia where she was educated. She qualified from a five year night school Diploma course in Interior Design while working as a tracer and draughtswoman in various Architectural and engineering offices around Perth.
She travelled overseas, working in London as an Interior Designer and travelling in Europe. Later she travelled to South Africa. Here she married and had four daughters while earning a living as a wildlife artist. Returning to Western Australia after 30 odd years she built her rammed earth studio in Gooseberry Hill.
Fully committed to Watercolour she has been an active member of The Watercolour Society of W.A. She has taught Watercolour and has held many workshops and demonstrations and has exhibited and sold regularly.
Her favourite subjects are still animals and birds but she also paints portraits, landscapes, architectural subjects, and still lifes and is adding abstract paintings to her portfolio after years of experiments in her studio and the realization that abstract rhythms are just as beautiful as natural ones.
Join Penny in this wonderful workshop of drawing and painting in watercolour.
Accommodation may be available at the Jarrah Forest Lodge at a discounted rate for course participants. Please book online under ACCOMMODATION or contact Melissa on (08) 9538 1395.
