I know that a few readers of the book and this blog put regular effort into both giving, and listening to talks/sermons in churches. That forum is one of the key places where the strand of a new confidence in science urged on the church in Faith and Wisdom in Science can begin. I had the good fortune last week to be invited to preach at the annual Commemoration of Benefactors Service at Durham Cathedral. The occasion brings town, region, cathedral, schools and university together. Durham and its environs is well known both as an ancient seat of medieval scholarship and wisdom. It is also known for coal-mining (active until a generation ago). So Job 28 seemed a good starting point. Here it is in full:
It's a wonderful privilege to be here, literally at the transept of our two intersecting and neighbouring communities of Cathedral and University. How humbling to meet in this shared space of study, contemplation and worship of unutterable beauty that we have jointly inherited from centuries of generous forbears.
I have in the past week taken two visitors from overseas around this place (I never let them leave Durham without a Cathedral tour, naturally), one from Greece, one from Mexico, and again it was they not I who voiced the impression of learning and wisdom seeming to permeate the stones and hang in the air from the centuries of scholarly and holy strata laid down by our predecessors. We have much wisdom to be thankful for.
It's a good thing, because wisdom, or the urgent need for it, seems to have become a repeated theme in our time. Oxford theologian Paul Fiddes has called it, 'the cry for wisdom in late modern culture'. Less academically, I'll admit to a fondness, before his passing, of Alastair Cook's weekly radio broadcast 'Letter from America'. One I recall vividly followed a vigorous debate in Senate and Congress over a possible military intervention in the Middle East. Cook recalled the reflections of an elderly Senator who confessed that it wasn't so much the dominance of either hawks or doves that troubled him, but the lamentable shortage of owls.
From the perspective of the arts, TS Eliot cries out in the chorus of his play 'The Rock'
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the Wisdom we have lost in Knowledge?
Where is the Knowledge we have lost in Information?
Even our friends at University College London have launched a university-wide research theme called 'From Knowledge to Wisdom' (I hope that at Durham, this drive lies within all our research themes!).
Well we stand between our two of oldest and wisest benefactors, Cuthbert – of whom a fellow monk records that they 'drank from heavenly wisdom together', and Bede – one of whose famous prayers addresses Christ as the 'Fountain of all Wisdom'.
So let us, in their company, take a look at perhaps the deepest, most foundational, surprising – even humorous – passage on Wisdom in the whole of the Bible.
The 28th chapter of Job sings with a new voice into the spiralling and tense arguments and accusations of this extraordinary book. Job, a rich and righteous man has lost family, wealth, heards, house and even his health. He sits, scraping his sores and tormented by his so-called friends. For their brittle religious world views can only explain his suffering by supposing it to be divine retribution for sins – and they choose to let him know it. He feels the injustice keenly and demands vindication, yet they become increasingly personal in their accusations. A terrible climax is reached in the previous chapter (27) – then comes this unexpected theme …
Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.
Iron is taken from the soil, rock that will be poured out as copper.
An end is put to darkness, and to the furthest bound they seek the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
A foreign race cuts the shafts; forgotten by travellers, far away from humans they dangle and sway.
That earth from which food comes forth is underneath changed as if by fire.
What on earth is going on? Indeed, what under the earth is going on? The text takes us down a mine shaft! (This has to be a favourite Durham Bible passage). It muses on the special human ability to dig down and so see the Earth from beneath – the precious stones glinting in the miners' lamplight, the seams of gold and silver. Not even the falcon's sharp eye can perceive all this – the hidden sources of rivers.
The passage actually condenses a theme that runs right through the book alongside that of unjust suffering – it's about the way we fashion our relationship with the physical world around us. It concerns where we go – 'there is a path…', what we see – 'unseen be eye of falcon', what we understand – 'bringing to light what is hidden' and what we do – 'they split open channels in the rocks'.
Some translators have found this language so powerful that they have turned the subject of this deep seeing from humans to God. But as a scientist I see in this a fitting metaphor for what we do – there really is an astonishing human ability to explore nature from beneath its surface and to understand its workings.
It is only at this point that the hymn admits its true subject
But where is wisdom to be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Humans do not know the way to it; it is not found in the land of the living.
In a comical game of hide and seek we look for wisdom in all the land – no, not there – at the bottom of the sea – no, not here either. Perhaps significantly we follow the wisdom trail to the opulent markets of Cush and Ophir. Old Testament scholar Carol Newsome notes the measure of their wealth – five different words are used for gold in as many verses! But wisdom is not to be found in the marketplace.
Finally the writer 'draws back the curtain' and reveals why God knows the way to wisdom.
Divine wisdom begins with a new deep way of seeing – 'He looked to the ends of the earth'
Divine wisdom is numerate – 'to assign a weight to the wind, the waters by measure'
Divine wisdom finds ways of channelling nature's forces, not suppressing them – 'he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt'
Divine wisdom participates in what Paul Fiddes has called 'Seeing the World and knowing God' – it becomes an invitation to us to follow in Wisdom's way of living. Wisdom is not an object we could possess, nor an accumulation of precepts and aphorisms. It is a way of seeing into the world, a way of serving creation, a way of partnering with each other and with our Creator.
It is a bright vision, and one that sacred or secular communities badly need. But in the light of the shrill voices of intolerance growing once again, the contradiction between our almost limitless technology yet inability to manage its consequences, our media-fuelled world as empty of wisdom as this vision is full of it – in the light of all that is it not a hopeless one?
Our New Testament reading tells us why this is not so, how, when all around is dark, it is not hopeless – any more than, as it turned out, Job's state was hopeless even at his own lowest point.
Here St. Paul writes to the early church in Collossae – using the same subject matter as in the Hymn to Wisdom, but transformed. Here are again all created things, here the visible and the hidden things both, here also the aching need to reconcile all that is broken in the world. But now, in the same transept that draws all these together, in the place that the Book of Job assigned to Wisdom, Paul sees Jesus.
And the reason that this gives him hope is not that the darkness and death that threaten never come, not that the task of living as part of a complex and troubled world is not painful, but that because of Christ's entering all this, going through death but into the new life of the resurrection, hope turns from wistfulness into solid reality.
That is why Bede, who knows his astronomy in the eighth century so much better than most of us do today (he knew all about the wisdom of seeing deeply into creation by measure..), called Christ not only the fountain of wisdom but also the Morning Star. It isn't because the planet Venus shines with an attractive and pure light, although it does. It is because it orbits the sun at a closer distance than the earth, so is never more than 45 degrees or so from it in the sky. So when Venus rises as a morning star, although at that point the sky is still as dark as at midnight, and there is no other sign in heaven or earth to show that day is coming, yet the one who gazes upon this one light, and through wisdom grasps its significance, knows that, against all other evidence, yet day is nonetheless almost at hand – they can hope for it, and act upon it, as solid reality
We finish with a prayer composed of Bede's words:
O Christ our Morning Star, Splendour of Light Eternal
Fount of all wisdom and shining with the glory of the rainbow
Come and waken us from the greyness of our apathy
And renew in us your gift of hope. Amen

The Q at Parkside
News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

Lady jaywalking in the middle of Flatbush in the first pic - these architects really do know our neighborhood!
-Paul G.
- October 2, 2013 at 2:43 PM
wow, it's huge. I'm curious what will be going on the rest of the site though. If you look at this footprint, the building itself appears to cover less than half of the site: http://arielpa.com/s101/pages/img/press-006.jpg It doesn't seem to reach behind the Associated or the buildings on its left at all. So is that going to be surface parking for the building? Green space for residents? I guess they maxed out their FAR building up.
- October 2, 2013 at 3:25 PM
totally speculative, but I'm going to guess that a 2-bedroom on the top floor facing the park will rent for $4000 a month by the time this thing gets built. Any takers?
- October 2, 2013 at 3:27 PM

- October 2, 2013 at 3:46 PM
3:25, it looks like that's going to be green space. The second rendering makes that a bit more apparent. Is this going to be taller than Patio Gardens?
One nice side effect is that the influx of construction workers will be good for local businesses.
- October 2, 2013 at 4:22 PM
Looks good to me. The recessed tower is a good idea, keeps the feel of Flatbush avenue intact, as opposed to those other high rises along Flatbush.
It's progress, people. More people moving in to the neighborhood, paying taxes and patronising local businesses. And bless them for willing to live right by the train tracks, I wouldn't.
- October 2, 2013 at 8:09 PM
it is so SO SO out of context with the neighborhood. I hate it.
- October 2, 2013 at 8:25 PM
By out of context with other buildings on Flatbush, which is the only context to discuss, you must mean it's cleaner, nicer and doesn't have tacky awnings. Okay. Great.
- October 2, 2013 at 8:35 PM
Now only if the architects drew in piles of garbage and crack dealers at the corner, than the architects would really know our neighborhood!
- October 2, 2013 at 9:33 PM
by out of context I mean it's too tall, blocks the view for many existing tenants, towers over the buildings most of PLG are made of, and simply sticks out (up) like a sore thumb. We're all entitled to our opinions, but please don't tell me what I mean by my comment, thanks.
- October 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM
i like it. i wasn't expecting a masterpiece and it surpasses what i envisioned. we build up in cities. im all for it. landmark the town homes and build up the rest
- October 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM
Anon 9:36 PM I will go ahead and tell you something, please stop your anti-development / anti-gentrification / grace reformed "My Brooklyn" meet-ups. If you want to stop change why don't you move out to the suburbs!
- October 2, 2013 at 10:15 PM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
To anon at 10:15. If I'm not mistaken in my reading, you were asking a neighbor not to have an opinion, not to express that opinion, and not to assemble with others to share that opinion.
Rather than asking them to move to the suburbs, it sounds like you're asking them to move out of the country, preferably a nation under a totalitarian regime.
Folks I know people have strong feelings on this stuff. But I'd like to think we could keep it civil. I'm leaving that comment up as an example of bad form, but I'll take down comments like it in the future.
- October 2, 2013 at 10:28 PM
Any idea when this might be finished? A year from now? Glad it's recessed so there won't be too much construction traffic on Flatbush.
- October 2, 2013 at 11:40 PM
Maybe we can push for a public entrance to the park on that street though they would have to build a bridge over the subway. But that would be a great concession from the developer and open up direct access to the park and Lakeside.
- October 3, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Height is not the only thing to consider for "context". I don't think people have any idea what they're talking about when they oppose this building claiming it's out of context. They don't know the meaning of that word. This building is only a few stories higher than Patio Gardens, which the architect did not include in these drawings - I wish he had. And looking at this architecture, the materials, details and shapes, not just height alone, it completely matches the surrounding buildings. It's totally in context. (An added note: I did not post again at 10:15 with the "move to the suburbs" response. But I understand that sentiment because there really is a certain population in Brooklyn which is growing larger, of people who in past decades normally would have been buying a house or farm in CT. But they now want to find the same experience in the city and to an extent they can find it in Brooklyn because of what's happening in this borough. BUT, as green as Brooklyn can be, literally and culturally, it's still the largest city in the country, it's very densely populated and needs more housing for people and it is what it is.)
- October 3, 2013 at 9:32 AM
@Anon 9:13 a.m. , I've been praying for that for years! Yes, please bury the subway!
- October 3, 2013 at 9:44 AM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
Yes 9:32, your point is made. However, what I'm talking about here in terms of good form in the comments section, is rather than trying to articulate other people's opinions by suggesting what a certain portion of Brooklynites believe, you stick to your own opinion. Why? Because this "move to the suburbs thing" suggests that people don't have a right to express themselves and attempt to influence policy. In other words, your argument is sound, but it's not the only one available.
One can be both "for" more housing, and "against" a particular project. May we agree that that is the case?
As for me, if anyone cares, I like it. But I wouldn't want Flatbush to be an entire block of these. If you DO want to see a block of these, then we are certainly heading in the right direction. If 626 proves successful, there will be no shortage of developers interested in replicating the success.
- October 3, 2013 at 9:55 AM
@anon 9:13
It's not possible to make an entrance to the park from Flatbush unless you knock down a building on Ocean Avenue to create an opening.
Believe me, living on Ocean I'd love a shortcut - but it 'aint gonna happen. Though maybe a catapult...
-Paul G.
- October 3, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Paul G. - your catapult idea is reckless and ill conceived. Where would it be placed? It might block the view of one or two residents. How will it affect birds in the area? How much would it cost to ride the catapult? Could you use a metrocard on it? Would there be a set aside for affordable catapult rides? Might not Hipsters be drawn to the catapult? Will local school children and local artist be able to create a mural that is culturally sensitive on the catapult?
Please Mr. G think carefully before you make such comments. Perhaps the Q should remove your comment from this thread.
- October 3, 2013 at 11:15 AM
Q, you try to be all things to all readers of your blog. I truly can't figure out what you think on this matter. We don't oppose this building because 1) it was legal and zoned for it when the property owners bought the property and filed their plans, and 2) it is not wildly out of context. But no, that does not automatically mean because we hold those very reasonable opinions (those are actually facts not opinions but whatever, it's seen as mere opinions by opponents of the building) we want the entire corridor of Flatbush lined with tall buildings. And I don't worry about that because that is not going to happen. Enough with inciting panic. If you want to try to change zoning for FUTURE buildings then try it. But I don't see the city saying oh yeah, Flatbush Ave is too stunning to be changed. Also, consider this regarding the incentives from the city to provide affordable apts in new developments, if a developer can only build a dozen units in a building because of downzoning and a chunk of those have to be affordable to low to middle income tenants then are they going to bother at all with it? I don't think so myself. And that doesn't just stop improvements to the Flatbush corridor it stops the building of additional affordable apts.
- October 3, 2013 at 11:49 AM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
Huh? I'm only suggesting, as I have repeatedly, that people should consider going through the legitimate process and consider zoning issues. Do I need to take a position now? I thought maybe I'd wait to hear what people have to say.
I think it's worth noting, however, that other neighborhoods have tried to consider zoning AFTER their neighborhoods went through a major period of change. I also suggested that if big apartment buildings are something you support, you might want to leave zoning as it is.
I haven't opposed this building. I haven't supported a cause one way or the other about further development. If you want to paint me into a corner, I dare you to find a single thing I've written that denies your "facts" or wishes to decide the issue for other people. So chill the eff out.
If I may toot my horn on this one, it would be to say that I was among the first to report on the whole damn thing, the only person who actually engaged in a conversation with the developer, and the only source I know that's interested in publicizing the "facts" and hosting a forum for folks like you to rant. Well, rant away I say.
Really, you've got a lot of nerve coming on here and calling me a scare-monger. The fact that the building's owners "filed plans" does not mean that people knew about it. How many people sit around watching the DoB website (hi Matt!). Nor do most people understand the first thing about City planning, myself included. Apparently, you would have preferred I remain mum on the topic and not allow folks to know what's going on.
- October 3, 2013 at 12:03 PM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
Oh, and one of the reason your comment bugged me is your use of the word "we" in the second sentence. If you represent a "we" then please gather up the requisite huevos to tell us who you are. This anonymous thing is wearing thin.
- October 3, 2013 at 12:07 PM
Looking forward to knowing what type of businesses will be set up in the commercial space at the street entrance, hoping for a nice restaurant, something like Stone park cafe in PS or even a small cafe or take out spot that does quality food.
- October 3, 2013 at 12:48 PM
Anti-zoning man you are annoying. I hope they build 25 story buildings on either side of you destroying your views and pricing you out of your apartment. Oh, you're an owner? Well I suppose there's no reason to give a damn about anyone else then.
Let people speak and don't put words in their mouth. There's a middle ground here and the Q is looking for it.
- October 3, 2013 at 9:54 PM
Tim, it might be time to start requiring registration for commenting. These threads are becoming so uncivil and have the potential to undermine your excellent work. I am really thankful that this blog exists and I hate seeing it become an empathy-free zone. There are a good handful of regular commenters who would probably not be averse to logging in using google.
Just a suggestion. Either way, keep up the good work - grateful for the time and energy you put into this blog.
- October 4, 2013 at 8:05 AM
Paul G-
One idea we discussed on Ocean Avenue--purely hypothetically of course--was that if the train was covered over with something--parkland, grass, whatever, that buildings along Ocean could consider opening the alleyways that run alongside them to public use. Obviously there are many details that would need to be worked out, but it was fun to imagine the "what-ifs." Imagine a world where I could watch Breaking Bad with my living room windows open and not have to pause it while the train rushes by!
- October 4, 2013 at 9:32 AM
If I were emperor of Lefferts (which is what I hope to be when I grow up) my first order of business would be to cover the tracks with a schnazzy High-Line style park. The alleys between buildings on Ocean are pretty tight and probably wouldn't work for all the blessed citizens of my Lefferts Empire.
Thus, we would construct a mighty catapult from trees felled (by natural causes) in Prospect Park, and launch happy Leffertsians onto Ocean Avenue, the sidewalks of which will be replaced with a suitably springy surface.
There, fixed it for you.
-Paul G.
- October 4, 2013 at 9:53 AM
I've been thinking about this building's shadow. Seems like Chester court will be the most affected. In the early morning, sun from the east will cast a long shadow toward Ocean Ave, similar (but obviously longer) than Patio Gardens'. As the sun rises in the sky and swings south and west, the shadow will shorten, probably hitting the south side of Chester from late morning through early to mid afternoon. Later in the day, the shadow will grow again and shift toward the Flatbush side. That's what I think will happen, anyway. I wonder if anyone's done a shadow study of the building.
- October 4, 2013 at 10:13 AM
Oh jeez, I meant "we" as in my husband and me. Everybody chill.
- October 4, 2013 at 3:39 PM

the change.org petition protesting this development has...17 signatures: http://www.change.org/petitions/no-plg-skyscrapers
It's important for the community to have a discussion about what sort of zoning we want, and for people to advocate for changes they believe in. I for one would like to see the fast-food and mini-storage friendly C8 zoning around Empire/Flatbush/Washington/Franklin changed to mixed residential/commercial R7. But there is literally no point in fighting a development that is already permitted as-of-right, and has funding in place. Not "80% public funding" either, as some people have speciously been claiming on the local listserve.
- October 9, 2013 at 2:23 PM
1. The developer of 626 Flatbush does not have permits to build. The DOB has approved plans for the building. Now is the time to challenge the building. Buildings can be challenged even after permits are approved; a permit does not say that everything that happened in the development process or everything about this project is rightful or acceptable. The building at 33 Lincoln Road which was going to be 23 stories tall was challenged by the community even after permits were approved. The new design is 9 stories tall.
2. The change.org petition is not the only one out there. With all due respect to the informativeness and usefulness of the blogs and listservs, what exists online is not all there is to the real world. Respected residents of PLG have posted to the Lefferts listserv under their own names to say that hundreds of residents have signed petitions and these are not people who would make things up or state things they were unsure of.
- October 9, 2013 at 2:52 PM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
Anon 2:52. One point of clarification. The original plan at Lincoln Road was not withdrawn because of community opposition. It lost financing. Had the economy remained strong, we'd be living in a very different world over there right now. Actually, everywhere! Imagine if we were still in that bubble? Jeeminy Christmas!
I kinda wish folks would lay off the whole petition thing. Anthony Weiner got 20,000 signatures to run for mayor, rest my case...
The real point should be, some folks are mad as hell about that building and what might follow. And some folks are glad as hell. And this is where we're at, cats. And unless you've put it to a vote, there's no way of saying for certain which opinion has more support. In fact, a lot of folks are likely to fall somewhere in between, with pros and cons and some nuanced considerations.
- October 9, 2013 at 3:05 PM
The fact that 33 Lincoln Road went from a planned 23 stories to 9 stories has everything to do with the economy and nothing at all to do with the (completely tepid) challenge by the community. It's completely false to imply that community opposition scuttled that plan. The project at 626 is being undertaken by a vastly more well organized, experienced, and funded developer. Many people in the neighborhood are rooting for it.
- October 9, 2013 at 3:06 PM
I am sure the recession helped stop the 23 story building from going up for a period of time. At the time of the protests the community probably had no idea the recession was coming or what could be done. They protested because they felt what was happening was wrong.
Regardless of what stopped the building, had the community not strongly protested the height of the original building, why wouldn't the new developer be building at the original height now that the recession is over? The approved permits for a 23 story building on Lincoln Road still exist.
Or are you suggesting that it could be more profitable and advantageous for a developer to build at 9 stories rather than 23? If so, please share that wisdom with Hudson.
- October 9, 2013 at 3:51 PM
- Clarkson FlatBed said...
Anon 3:51. Developers do not always maximize the height of their buildings...it's actually NOT always profitable. In the case of the Anderson building, he's relying on a fair amount of public financing, and he hasn't particularly deep pockets. In other words, you build what you can afford, and what you think people will want to rent. Plus, some developers DO care about contextualizing their buildings, and aim to be good neighbors. From what I've seen of Tom, he seems to be more on that side of the line, and I look forward to getting to know him better through the process.
To those who protested the original tower, I would say that you were lucky (though not so the millions who lost their homes or whose mortgages are still under water!) And to those who prefer unfettered development, I would caution "be careful what you wish for."
Folks, there's a middle road here. In my latest post, I ask that you all consider being involved in the neighborhood's future by joining in talks over zoning.

Written by Ken Gaebler
Published: 4/26/2010
A study from the Pew Research Center has found small businesses to be the country's most trusted institution.
There is important news for small business owners seeking to use their influence to get ahead. New research suggests that small businesses are the most trusted institution in America.
Citing a recent study from the Pew Research Center, USA Today's Rhonda Abrams explains that small businesses were found to be more trusted than colleges, churches, labor unions, large corporations or the government.
Despite this, Abrams writes, small businesses are often neglected. Because media coverage of the study focused on distrust of the government and not trust of small businesses, she contacted the Pew Center to find out more.
The center's associate director, Carroll Dougherty, told Abrams the results were striking. "At a time when a lot of institutions are viewed negatively," she said, "small business is viewed very positively." Carroll added that there was a major difference in trust between large corporations and small businesses, calling the contrast between them "enormous."
The Pew Center's main study, conducted between March 11 and March 21, surveyed 2,505 adults. When asked about various institutions, 71 percent of respondents said their view was positive. By comparison, 25 percent had a positive view of the federal government and only 22 percent felt positively about banks and financial institutions.

I'm stubborn. Not about a lot of things, actually, very few things. I compromise daily with my wife, 75% of the time yielding to what she wants instead of what I might want, if they happen to be different (she usually folds on what movie I want to see). Stubbornness comes in handy when you are working toward a major goal. I watched my ten year old step-son save up almost $1000 over a 6 month period of time to buy a touch screen laptop. He was always doing chores for his grandparents, asked everyone for cash for Christmas and his birthday, delaying the instant gratification that the normal pile of loot would bring. He went almost 7 months without spending a penny on anything to get what he wanted. That is #awesomeness!
Just a little about me to preface the rest of this post. At 45 years of age, and ~75 pounds overweight, I'm NOT the guy that's suppose to take up running. I've spent most of my adult life carrying around 50-100 pounds of extra fat, making every excuse in the book not to exercise. "I'll watch my eating first, THEN, I'll start an exercise program" was my standard reply. And, sure enough, I'd lose 25 pounds monitoring my intake, but I never took that next step.
In June of this year, my step-son had a soccer camp each evening at the local fields. The field has a track around it, and on the first night, my wife started walking with one of the other moms. I felt a little left out, so I walked a pretty fast lap to try and catch up. Oh my gosh! I had never felt the power of shin splints before. I couldn't even walk a single lap at a quick pace. I shuffled the rest of the lap, feeling slightly embarrassed when a 70+ year old woman eased by me, asking if I needed help.
That's the day the change happened. Not in my body, but in my mind.
The rest of the week, while soccer camp was going on, I would vary my pace and form, and I thought the shin splints were over as long as I went slow. Oh, you innocent little boy!
On the June 18th, the week following the camp, I decided I was going to tough it out and just run. How hard can it be, right? I'm seeing people almost as big as I am on the track running lap after lap. My wife and I started out the first lap with a walk. When we hit the starting line, we took off at a very slow pace. At the 1/8th mile mark, I felt and heard a pop in my right calf and although I didn't go down, I knew I was hurt. I hobbled to the edge of the track and plopped down. I started rubbing the area, but it was too sensitive to apply much pressure. My wife helped me to the vehicle and I took a handful of Aleve (2) and put an ice pack on it.
For the next 3 days, I kept ice on it around the clock. My wife kept her walking/running up at my insistence. On the 4th day after the accident, I began walking again…albeit VERY gingerly.
It was at this point in time that I decided to give myself some encouragement. I set a goal for myself by registering for a 5K in September and another in December. I wasn't going to quit.
A week later I was down again, this time because of extreme shin splints.
I tried walking in my tennis shoes, my Crocks, a new pair of running shoes…I went to a running store in the city where I work and they analyzed my gait in slow motion and recommended yet another pair of shoes. My shins AGONIZED me whenever I took more than a few steps at a fast pace.
In frustration, I tossed off my shoes and tried walking barefoot. What was this? No pain? You're kidding me? I began walking barefoot. First a mile every other night, then two. One night I looked a the bottom of my feet. It looked like I had been walking on fire and glass mixed together. To top it off, I had a blood blister about 3 inches long on my right sole. Something had to give.
I had toyed with a pair of Vibram Five Fingers several years ago as a novelty more than anything. They rubbed my feet in an odd spot and I eventually gave them to my 16 year old son. He loved them and ran in them during football conditioning.
The selection of Five Fingers has really exploded and there are many more designs and styles than when I had looked before. I tried on several other shoes, but kept coming back to the Vibrams. They made my feet feel like they were singing! After I made the mistake of sharing a photo on Facebook of my new found treasures, I was promptly asked to turn in my man-card. I took a lot of ribbing, but it was a small price to pay.
I began to run/walk a few more yards each time I went out, running for 20 seconds, walking for 20 seconds, and growing those numbers. I was making slow steady progress. Eventually, the doctor's appointment I had set for my accident rolled around, and I was told I had ruptured a muscle in my calf that I can't pronounce, much less spell. And since I had already started walking/running again, it wasn't a career ending injury.
The next evening, July 18th, the day after I turned 45, I started another run, and on the 2nd lap, SNAP! I injured the OTHER calf in the exact spot. You've GOT to be kidding me!!! I hobbled over to my wife where she was talking to some friends and gruffly said you've got to get me home.
I took a full 2 weeks off running because this one felt much more serious. I did some walking, but with very small steps. The entire time all this is going on, I'm watching my wife progress with jealous pride. I was very proud of how she was progressing, but felt sorry for myself at the same time because as her pace increased, I was stuck hobbling around.
It never occurred to me that a 45 year old, obese man shouldn't take up running. My stubbornness had kicked in and I refused to quit. Massaging my legs before each visit to the track seemed to let me go a little further each time. We started going nightly instead of every other night. I watched my fast walking time splits get better and better.
A week ago, I started trying to run again. On Sunday, I was able to run a complete lap around the track before I started walking. Monday I pushed it up to a lap plus a quarter…Tuesday, a lap and a half. I was drenched in sweat, gasping for air after those small runs.
Then yesterday, September 3rd rolled around. I only slept 3 hours on Tuesday night, so I was really tired yesterday. Several issues at work left me feeling drained. I went to my in-laws for dinner, where I not only ate "non-clean" but I also ate too much. When we got home and started getting our running clothes on, I told my wife I wasn't expecting much because of all the above listed reasons. She promptly told me to stop complaining, it wasn't allowed. She was right.
When we got to the fields, I spoke to a few people and made my way to the track. I physically and mentally felt rough. My only goal was to run 2 laps before I started walking. I rearranged my play list to make sure I had the right music at the front to carry me through those two laps, started my RunKeeper App, and took off. After 25 steps or so, I knew I wasn't going to make it 2 laps. Eating so close to run time was going to kill me. I told myself that I was at least going to make it one lap.
I made my way around and when I crossed the one lap mark, my inner voice told me not to wimp out, because my wife was running too and I didn't want her to see me fade. So I pressed forward.
I travel on the outer lip of the track to get the most distance out of each lap. It's a mental trick, but it works best for me. Unfortunately, it seemed like EVERYONE using the track was running in lane 7, meaning I was having to constantly go "excuse me" or "coming around".
I managed to get through the first lap without passing out, however the bloated feeling was taking it's toll on me. I kept running. Slow pace. Focused on the music. I noticed I was passing the 2 lap mark and I asked myself if I could make it one more lap. Boom. Lap 3 was finished.
I made a new mental goal. I was going to run 5 laps. If I could do 3 then I could do 5. I reset my music to start back over because I needed to hear those first songs again. My wife passed me on the left and I gave her a little nod to let her know I was OK.
Wait a minute… I lost count. Was that 4 or 5 laps I just finished? I'll just think that it's 4 and that way, if it were 5, I've got an extra one under my belt.
I had a stretch with no other bodies on the track and while maintaining my snail's pace, looked at my RunKeeper App. WHAT THE CRAP? I'd already gone 2.2 miles. I wasn't keeping up with the laps. I was just running.
New goal. Run 5K. 3.1 Miles. If I had come that far, I couldn't stop. Oh there's someone I know on the track that look like they are going to speak to me. I look down and keep going (sorry about that!!!). I can't stop. If I do, I'll never start back. My wife is walking off the track to go sit down. I gasp out to her that I haven't stopped yet.
I cross the 3 mile barrier. I thought to myself, I'm actually going to make it. That last 0.1 miles, my feet like they had concrete blocks tied to them. I glanced at RunKeeper and it said 3.11 miles. I stopped and thought I was going to pass out. My head was very light, and my legs felt like Jello. I managed to get to where my wife was sitting and I asked to borrow her chair.
I did a screen shot of my stats and posted on Facebook and the support was overwhelming. I don't think I've ever gotten as many likes on a post before. That meant almost as much to me as actually accomplishing something I didn't know if I would ever be able to do.
My first "OFFICIAL 5K" is 17 days from now, and I know I can do it. Over the next 17 days, I'll focus on shaving a minute or so off my time. I have no illusions of winning or placing in this race, or any race in the future.
It doesn't matter.
I've already won.
Be awesome!

WorldNetDaily is reporting that Japanese scientists are strongly rebuffing the notion that "global warming" is real. They go so far as to call the research propaganda, "immature", and liken it to ancient astrology. They report that 3/5 scientists disagree that man-made "greenhouse gas" emissions are contributing to a rise in the Earth's temperature.
"Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth. The opinion that great disaster will really happen must be broken."
'Global warming' data called 'ancient astrology'
Researchers rebuke world pressure to accept climate doctrine
Posted: February 26, 2009
11:45 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
At the very moment President Obama is committing the U.S. to a leadership role in combating so-called "global warming" and "climate change," scientists are breaking with the hypothesis that temperatures around the world are on a steady increase for the foreseeable future.
A new report from Japan's Energy Commission reveals that Japanese scientists are rejecting U.N. and Western-backed theories of climate change.
Three out of five researchers do not agree with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's hypothesis that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are primarily responsible for warming patterns, the UK's Register reports.
One scientist likened computer climate modeling to ancient astrology, while others criticized the U.S. for lacking ground temperature data to support its claims. Several contributor said the mid-20th century warming trend has ended.
The Japan Society of Energy and Resources, or JSER, a government advisory panel, issued a report condemning worldwide pressure to accept "global warming" propaganda. Government-funded science in the West supports the idea that man-made industry is largely to blame for "climate change," but only one of the Japanese scientists agrees with that hypothesis.
The Register commissioned a translation of JSER's report.
Three of the five scientists affirmed that changes in climate patterns are driven by natural cycles and are not impacted by humans.
Kanya Kusano, program director and group leader for the Earth Simulator at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology, called climate research conducted by global warming scientists "immature" and much like ancient astrology.
"Climate models are still in the phase of reliance on trial and error experiential models. There are still no successful precedents," Kusano wrote. "[The IPCC's] conclusion that from now on atmospheric temperatures are likely to show a continuous, monotonic increase, should be perceived as an unprovable hypothesis."
Shunichi Akasofu, head of the International Arctic Research Center in Alaska, used historical data to defy assertions that recent temperatures are irregular:
"We should be cautious," he said. "IPCC's theory that atmospheric temperature has risen since 2000 in correspondence with CO2 is nothing but a hypothesis."
Akasofu said the alleged post-2000 warming trend is hypothetical.
"Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth," he wrote. "The opinion that great disaster will really happen must be broken."
Meanwhile, a climatologist and professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia, told a packed auditorium at Dartmouth College last week that computer climate change models have regularly projected higher temperatures than have actually occurred, Fox News reported.
Patrick Michaels, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, said scientific models are flawed and literature on climate trends has been overwhelmingly pessimistic.
Michaels holds A.B. and S.M. degrees in biological sciences and plant ecology and a Ph.D. in ecological climatology. He is an active participant in the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
He blamed what he called a "small inbred community" of scientists who peer review global warming research.
"The discussion surrounding global warming has become wildly extreme," he said. "You either believe it's the end of the world unless we do something about it right now, or you're a denier."
Nonetheless, President Obama plans to include in his 2010 budget the introduction of a massive energy cap-and-trade system designed to raise $300 billion a year for the federal government in a bid to get industry to curtail emissions of so-called "greenhouse gases." The plan would force companies to buy permits from the government for greenhouse gas emissions above a certain cap.
Within one week of taking office, he began reversing the climate policies of the Bush administration.
"The days of Washington dragging its heels are over," Obama said at the White House in January. "My administration will not deny facts, we will be guided by them."
Former Vice President Al Gore recently urged immediate action to halt global warming, calling it a "five-alarm fire that has to be addressed immediately."
"We need to start in January making significant changes," he told the Associated Press. "This year coming up is the most important opportunity the world has ever had to make progress in really solving the climate crisis."
Just weeks ago, he appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, imploring Congress to take "decisive action" to reduce greenhouse gases – on the same day that one-third of the nation was gripped in unrelenting snow and ice storms.
As WND reported, world temperatures dropped to levels not seen since 2000. The year 2008 has been documented as the coolest year of this century.

The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo has cancelled several thousand tickets to this month's rodeo, including 800 to the March 17 George Strait concert that were going as high as $8,100, after they allegedly fell into the hands of ticket brokers. According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, the rodeo identified nine season-ticket holders acting as brokers after the electronic sale of some 5,600 tickets across the 21-day event set off internal alarms within its ticketing system.
Naturally, those going for Strait, whose show sold out almost instantly, raised more eyebrows than most. All orders have been canceled, said rodeo Chief Operating Officer Leroy Shafer, adding that buyers would be allowed to appeal: "We wait a few days to make sure we're not canceling a legitimate order." Those nine season-ticket holders or first-time buyers were denied their seats this year after being identified as brokers, he added.
Rocks Off reached out to Shafer via email for an explanation of why the brokers' actions, though not technically illegal, violated rodeo policy.
"It has been the policy of HLSR that we do not knowingly sell tickets to brokers or any type of ticket resellers who charge more that a service fee, such as Ticketmaster," he said.
"Though our screening methodology, we were able to identify them as brokers or they had wired around our procedures to purchase more than the allowed limit per person/entity," added Shafer.
Despite the Chronicle headline ("Rodeo reclaims 800 Strait tickets from brokers"), Shafer explained that the tickets were never "reclaimed." In fact, the orders were never even processed, printed or shipped, he said. However, he added that the rodeo follows a very strict procedure when it does find out that tickets have been shipped to a broker.
"HLSR does invalidate some issued tickets when it is determined they were shipped to a broker before the broker was identified by HLSR," Shafer said. "In such cases the barcodes are invalidated and the purchaser (the original purchaser) is notified of the action. In such cases, HLSR refunds the purchase price to the original purchaser."
Shafer said the cancelled tickets for all the performances except Strait will be filtered back into the system in the next few days. For Strait, he added, those seats will go to people on the rodeo's email list who had contacted them within the first three days of the show's selling out, as well as a few committee volunteers who were unable to originally purchase seats during the designated pre-sale.

The Washington Examiner's Kevin Mooney has a story about ACORN, quoting Matthew Vadum on something I hadn't heard before:
While the organization's complicated structure makes is difficult to determine how many affiliates and subsidiaries are tied in with ACORN's vast apparatus, its connection with organized labor, especially the Service Employees International Union, is well-established, Vadum observed. SEIU Locals 100 and 880 are identified as allied organizations on ACORN's web site. U.S. Department of Labor LM-2's (financial disclosure forms) point to over $600,000 in transactions between these same SEIU locals and other ACORN operations. A 2007 LM-2 form shows SEIU Local 880, which is active in Illinois and Minnesota, donated $60,118 to ACORN for "membership services." Organized labor has kicked it back in the form of gifts and grants to ACORN totaling $2.4 million, the LM-2's reveal.
Obama has very close ties to both SEIU and ACORN, and this evidence of direct coordination between these two left-wing groups is quite interesting. I wonder if Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and the other Democrats who got steam-rollered by the Obama juggernaut in the primaries understand what it was that hit them.

The budget that Governor Kitzhaber unveiled Tuesday calls for an 8% overall spending increase, but no new taxes. But many State programs and agencies slated for cuts show up in the fine print. For human services, the Governor is suggesting 40% less money than what agencies say they need. Janet Byrd, with Neighborhood Partnerships says with all the recent belt tightening, these cuts could be too much too soon. "Those are the kinds of things that, if we don't increase them to meet the surge in demand, I worry that so many people are just going to fall further behind before we have a chance for these structural changes to help people." Byrd adds that Kitzhaber also proposes spending more money on early childhood education, but less on education overall.

Also, as usual, shops could barely keep up with the demand, leaving many fans of the next generation with empty hands. Sony is of course doing their best to fulfill everyone's wish for that little black box, and I'm sure that during the Christmas days most of Europe's die-hard gamers can enjoy the console. As much as I'm interested in that little piece of technology, I haven't even tried getting a pre-order. Not because I'm a quarter pessimist (the rest of me is carefully optimistic), but because I have reasons. Yes, I have very serious reasons.
Okay, they're not that serious, but that doesn't matter. First of all, I'm paranoid regarding launch problems. Yeah, I've heard of the issues many PS4's are already having, so I feel confirmed in my belief that no hardware is launched without problems. When it comes to something like a console, I don't want to be a part of the "beta crowd". I want my baby to work right out of the box, without any red rings or blue rays of death. You people just have fun with your testing devices, I'll wait for the batch that won't give up on me.
Next to that, I simply do not care for any title so far. Since Watch Dogs has been delayed until next year and The Division is also still on the horizon, the only titles I'm mildly interested in to play are current-generation ports like Battlefield 4. Yeah, Knack has been getting some good reviews, but that just isn't enough to reel me in. How about you present me a PS4-only title that will be out before Christmas, and I might review this argument, hmkay?
Next to those two reasons, I'm just generally careful with large purchases like a new console. Before I sink €400 into a gaming device, I want to know for sure that I'll get some mileage out of it. I want to know that it will work and that I'll have cool games to play on it. In a way, this brings together my previous two arguments, supporting my careful stance towards purchasing a PS4.
But hey, that's just me. Some of you guys are probably already busy admiring the next generation of visual power, and I would love to here from you. Should I man up and just get a PS4 as soon as they are re-stocked, or do you think that I'm doing the right thing? Hit me up in the comments!

The title of this article "Cremation Of Care" (9:41) comes from the name of the ceremony held at the Bohemian Grove every July where some of the most powerful people in the world come together for… well, for who knows what?! In front of a giant owl-god, Molech, the concept of care is burnt in effigy.
The image is of the Kindlifresser (child-eater) in the Swiss capitol of Bern, feasting on a sack full of children.
You will soon see how these two notions relate to the upcoming video.
Do you remember "Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man" (Part 1 – 53:35) in which John Perkins claims to have played a role in an alleged process of economic colonization of Third World countries?
Well, consider that the first chapter. This is the second chapter. It's much worse.

I love jam tart…It reminds me of when I went to visit a little village on a mountain not too far from here….it was snowing and we went into this typicall mountain shelter where they made delicious homemade tart with home made jam…. 🙂
After several attempts I found my own perfect tart dough….at least it is perfect according to my taste 😉
This evening a couple of friends are coming over at our place so I prepared the tart but single-portioned. I used silicone bakeware.
Here's the recipe!
– 300 gr ( 10.58 oz) All purpose flour
– 150 gr (5.29 oz) butter
– 2 eggs yolk
– 100 gr (3.5 oz) sugar
– 3 gr ( 0.10 oz.) baking powder
make sure all the ingridients are organic!
wisk together sugar, eggs yolk and melted butter .
Now add all the flour and the baking powder and mix with your hands for less then a minute.
cover the dough with a plastic wrap and refrigerate fo half hour
preheat oven at 390 F°
place the dough directly into the pan and give it the shape you want using your hands. Otherwise the dough will break.
In this case I needed 6 small tart so i cut the dough into 6 pieces and i saved a little amount for the crumbs.
so i put the piece I 've cut into the pan and I gave it the shape by using hands.
I put on a generous amount of cranberries jam and then I add the crumble on.
The jam I used is amazing…It's made by organic fruits, with no sugar added and no artificial flavor…just fruit and apple juice…. It's called risoni d'asiago, but I don't think you will ever find it outside italy!… So, just make sure to use a good quality jam.
Put in the oven and cook for 20 minutes (or until gold)

Baby Boomers Get a Boost With Anti Aging Supplement
There's little doubt that we Baby Boomers are in a bit of a quandary. We may not feel like we're getting older, but the mirror tells us otherwise. Some of us have retired, while others of us are looking forward to the day when we close our office door and walk out of the building for the last time. All of the evidence suggests that we'll live at least another quarter of a century after retirement, and most of us have plans for living life to the […]More info

I'm a wife, mom, grandmother. I absolutely love these roles I've been given. But the one role that trumps them all is that of being a child of God. In that role, the process of being conformed takes on the greatest importance. And really, being conformed in any other role will always have its roots in my Christianity. I'm a housewife, something I consider a wonderful blessing and a privilege. This allows me the opportunity to do research. A particular area I've been led to in the past 18 months or so is that of nutrition. Through this research, God has taught me what was wrong with the way I was eating (and feeding my family) and how to correct it. In this process, I was healed of moderate arthritis and fibromyalgia-like symptoms, as well as depression, and my husband has been healed of lifelong allergies. We still have a ways to go and this blog will be about that journey. The road to wellness. It is my prayer that the things I've learned will help others and God will be glorified in it.

I had to drop by after your comment on my blog. I am so happy to take a look around! The sourdough dumplings look fabulous and the next cool day (which should be Thursday) I am thinking we need some!
I just hopped over here after your comment on my blog. You are right that we sure don't see many Las Cruces folks in the blog real-food world. I know you said you are from Las Cruces, but where are you at now? It's good to see your blog and I'm looking forward to checking out your past posts.
Been following your posts on Facebook and enjoy the foods that you post. I am looking forward to more of your recipes! I am thankful that you are not ashamed of the gospel and live that out in your life. I am a soon to be grandmother for the first time this year! I am also new to more nutritional foods and have been researching this a lot lately. My daughter has been extremely sick for two years and we have found out that she is gluten intolerant with lots of other food sensitivities. I have decided to go gluten free myself and find that it helps me to feel better. Thanks for all that you are doing.

SDL Tridion DX. A New Paradigm for Captivating Audiences Across the Customer Journey
How things have changed
Consumers now spend, on average, 9 hours a day consuming digital media, across any one of their 4 connected devices. They've become accustomed to receiving exciting, dynamic digital experiences. Their insatiable appetite for more personalized experiences is forcing change, and the industry has adapted well; shifting from one-way publishing to extensive online interaction. Brands like Amazon, Netflix and Spotify have set the tone – using their wealth of content to provide deeply personal digital experience, across any device.
The Industry Lacks Progress
But most industries still fall behind. Customers today, despite all content management advances, still lack continuity when engaging with some of their favorite brands. They may have had a great experience looking at the products on your site, hopefully the purchase was seamless, but when searching for support material they end up somewhere else – hopefully on your support portal – mostly likely exposed to content in another language.
It's issues like these – at perhaps the most critical point in the relationship – that invite frustration with brands. The only way to build truly meaningful relationships is to ensure a relevant, engaging and continuous experience across the pre-sale, sale, and post-sale phases of the customer journey.
Broken Content Supply Chains Lead to Fragmented Experiences
The digital journey consumers take is no longer linear. Consumers can approach brands from their phones, desktops, tablets, and even their wristwatches – from any place, at any time. Delivering continuity of experiences, across all these digital touchpoints, is difficult in just one language. Let alone a dozen languages where it all needs to be orchestrated in a way that's meaningful, and personalized to encourage consumers along the next step of their journey.
The reality for global brands is that their content supply chain is broken, holding them back from delivering continuity, locally relevant content and appropriate personalization. Sixty-two percent of brands reported they have 5 or more content repositories, while 36 percent have 10 or more, to serve up digital experiences.
This leads to incredibly fragmented technology environments – and, as a result, fragmented customer journeys.
Say hello to SDL Tridion DX
Engaging with consumers across all these points, at any stage of the customer journey, is where the industry and brands fall behind. And it's why, at SDL Connect today, we've launched SDL Tridion DX, a way for brands to finally unify these previously fragmented customer experiences, regardless of how the customer approaches their brand. Taking our digital past – over 25 years – in content management, language services and machine learning we will help our customers shape their digital futures and embrace I a new era of customer engagement, ensuring a continuous, relevant, and engaging experience across the pre-sale, sale, and post-sale phases of the customer journey.
Best of Both Worlds
SDL Tridion DX is a suite of 2 powerful software solutions, SDL Tridion Sites for Web Content Management and SDL Tridion Docs for Structured Content Management.
As part of the launch, we've rebranded SDL Web to SDL Tridion Sites and SDL Knowledge Center to SDL Tridion Docs. We are also launching a new version of SDL Tridion Docs that ships with a new delivery environment, shared with SDL Tridion Sites, to enable product-led content to be blended with SDL Tridion Sites managed marketing content.
The combination allows businesses to create, optimize, personalize, and push content across their entire digital landscape spanning the pre-sale, sale and post-sale of the customer journey.
What about Machine Learning?
SDL Tridion DX provides machine assisted authoring to improve the quality of content using Acrolinx software. It provides guidance, suggesting improvements on style, tone of voice, clarity, grammar, spelling and preferred terminology, while dashboards enable monitoring of overall content quality. This helps keep large, globally dispersed teams of authors, on brand when writing and translating content.
SDL's advancements in AI capabilities, based on 15 years of natural language processing expertise, will soon add the option to create text variations and summaries, extract the gist and create keywords to speed up the creation of personalized content variants across different touchpoints (web, email, social, mobile, POS systems, kiosks, in-car entertainment systems, games etc.)
Who Can Use it?
SDL Tridion DX is developed with both Marketing and Product Development teams in mind:
- Product developers benefit from SDL Tridion Docs' superb content reuse using the DITA standard and its dynamic publishing features to deliver tailored documentation. This means faster time to ship with better build-integrated documentation, easier content review processes, lower development costs (through automated publishing across multiple platforms and channels), and integrated documentation translation.
- Marketers, facing tight deadlines and shorter product release cycles can consistently manage multiple online brands, digital assets and marketing messages with SDL Tridion Sites. It gives teams the ability to quickly build and evolve multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-brand websites to deliver locally relevant, personal experiences on a global scale to customers' preferred channel and device – all while dramatically shrinking time to market.
What Makes SDL Tridion DX Unique?
Constantly reconfirmed by analysts' market assessments is the ability to handle the extreme content volumes and complexity associated with multi-brand, multi-product, multi-site, multi-publication, multilingual environments. Our approach is not just to create an experience that blends pre-sale, sale and post-sale content into a single customer journey, but also to do that while maintaining the critical feature richness needed at the authoring level for the various types of content and making the required sophistication easy to work with.
To keep up with customer demand, companies need to rethink the way they approach the customer journey. Only by unifying experience delivery mechanisms for both marketing content, commerce elements and in-depth product content, can companies truly ensure a joined up digital experience during the entire online customer journey.
It's why we've developed SDL Tridion DX. It pushes digital boundaries, drives the industry forward, scales up customer engagement efforts and, ultimately, helps brands captivate audiences again.
