Another week coming to a conclusion. Thanks to all of you who commented on the series on omnipotence; it proved to be one of the most succesful series attempted on this blog (though well behind the Sandusky/PSU commentary). And a tip of the hat to Lisa Delay (lisadelay.com) for suggesting it. Proof that requests are indeed accepted!
Last week I began a Saturday series commenting on things in general, some of which may be picked up as themes for future posts, but most of which are just put out there for your own thinking. If they strike a chord, please comment and perhaps we'll generate a weekend discussion in the process.
The first item is one I seriously considered as a topic to take on. It has to do with the widely and wildly perpetrated youtube video taking on "religion" as opposed to Jesus. You've probably seen it, or at least have seen it posted on someone's facebook status. Rather than commenting directly, however, here is a link to Kevin DeYoung's blog: http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevindeyoung/ DeYoung echoes and develops thoughts very similar to my own, centering on the fact that the thesis is seriously flawed due to its very slippery and shifting definition of what "religion" is and is not, which has the consequence of not taking the whole of Jesus' words about it into consideration. I'm sure some readers will immediately dismiss my objections as those of an aging traditionalist. So read them from someone else.
On a sad note, please offer prayer on behalf of Ben Witherington and his wife, whose 32 yr.-old daughter died yesterday. Ben is a New Testament scholar at Asbury Theological Seminary. As I can readily attest, ministry professionals (a bad term, I confess) are very much like everyone else; these things hurt deeply.
And the winner is . . . Dr. Mary Midgley. I had awaited with decidedly unbated breath the latest issue of Philosophy Now to find out who the winner might be of the first Philosophy Now Award for Contributions in the Fight Against Stupidity. Midgley, a philosopher (surprised?) was selected out of twenty-five nominees for her "many contributions to clear thinking." I am pleased to report that I found the one article of hers that I have read to be consistent with that description.
In a rare 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court seems to have gotten it right. In citing freedom of religion as the first and most basic of the civil rights, religious organizations are not bound to ignore a person's beliefs when hiring individuals. It does not make sense to force, for example, for a Catholic charity to hire an open advocate of abortion, even if the person is otherwise qualified–or an avowed atheist at an evangelical relief organization.
One has to wonder how much defying and stretching of the truth will be tolerated in our perpetual political campaigns. The Romney-Bain Capital issue is just the latest example. Whether the truth can be known at all with all of the charges and counter-charges, the one thing that can be discerned without fail is that our poisoned way of seeking office is becoming even more toxic. It raises anew the questions about the extent of Christian participation in the campaigns; can it be done with integrity? Without reference to any actual positions, I do applaud the considerable attempts of Rick Santorum to steer as clear as possible of the tactics of used be some of his opponents. (But I do disagree with some of his positions, but that's another matter). And what should Ron Paul do with the endorsement of the legalized prostitution "industry" in Nevada?
My thoughts are not as scattered this week as last; maybe that's due to focusing on syllabus completion for an upcoming semester, during which that ever asked question of God's relationship to suffering will be the subject of an elective. The question never goes away, but neither does the answer: Jesus, the Christ. It will take more than a semester to fill out that answer.
Blessings to all.

Lisboa's outskirts are peppered with suburbs of different shapes, sizes and styles. They range from forest parks to densely packed residential districts, from slums to industrial areas, from bourgeois waterfront mansions to medieval towns that have been absorbed by the city's ever expanding grid. Queluz is one of those suburbs. It is home to Queluz National Palace, built in the 18th century as a summer home for the royal family. It is but a dwarf variation of the great Rococo palaces of Europe like Versailles. Right next to it rests a tiny urban settlement of old houses and narrow streets. I've always admired how in Lisboa great buildings of power are offset by projections of the humbleness of common people. Another example of this is the National Parliament of São Bento and the vernacular buildings that face it. It is in that space between that most political oriented demonstrations of Lisboa have their final checkpoint.
Then, there's Magoito, a village by the beach in Sintra. Still close enough to be a candidate for the title of suburb of Lisboa, but far enough for people to feel as if they are spending holidays away from the city, if they happen to sleep over. The farthest people in it were engulfed in a thick sfumato of dust and iodine, and the smell of the salty water was instantly invigorating. The sun was hidden behind clouds, so we had to be extra careful not to get burned without noticing. The layers of blue and grey almost melded on the horizon and the body-boarders peppered the waves. The sand was not yellow nor white but in shades of brown and shadowy brown – contrasts lowered by the wind and the clouds. I always get drowsy in the first days of going to the beach.
During the match between Holland and Costa Rica, there was, of course, time for more snails and bifanas and beer.

Breastfeeding at work: Women's stories
This week, Senator Larissa Waters became the first Australian politician to breastfeed in parliament. But can women really breastfeed at work?
Dr BJ Epstein, a senior lecturer at the University of East Anglia, started bringing her daughter Esther to her office when she was 14 months old.
"Initially, I was really stressed about returning to work, as breastfeeding was an important part of our relationship," she says.
"But luckily I have been really well supported. She comes with me to work three days a week before nursery and breastfeeds - but I do have a private office.
"I am aware my situation is quite unusual. It's been nothing but a positive experience."
But does it interfere with BJ's work?
"I don't find it distracting having my daughter in my office," she says.
"She sits on my lap and breastfeeds while I work, or she draws, or plays with toys, and I get a lot done.
"I actually get more done with her here than I do later in the day. More people knock on my door later in the day!"
Esther, who is now two and a half, also travels with her mum to academic conferences, allowing BJ to breastfeed her daughter before and after her talks - although not during.
"Again, I know I'm lucky that my wife is a bit flexible (she works part-time) and can come with me," says BJ.
"I think having a child and being able to breastfeed her at work and in work situations has made me a better employee.
"It's a cliché, but I feel I know what's important now, and I know how to prioritise."
While BJ's situation is rare, it's more common for women who work near home or nursery to breastfeed their child during a break.
But one woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, found she had to battle her employer to be allowed to do this.
"I had chosen to feed my youngest rather than express at work during my allotted break," she says.
"I was given some grief about it. I was told that I couldn't feed him on the premises and my break was set aside to express and express only.
"It ended up being resolved once I contacted my HR department, and I was allowed to have him on site to feed him during that break for about three months.
"I had to explain that feeding a baby is quicker and more efficient than expressing so was better for everyone's interests."
What are your rights?
Bringing your baby to work is not common, but many new mothers do need to be able to express and store their breast milk in the office.
Employers in the UK are not explicitly obliged by law to accommodate women who are breastfeeding, unlike - for example - the United States.
There, businesses must give women reasonable time off to express milk, as well as providing facilities.
The charity Maternity Action has released a manifesto ahead of the UK general election asking for the next government to introduce a full legal right to breastfeed in the workplace.
Rosalind Bragg, director of Maternity Action, says: "It's very disappointing this hasn't been addressed. It's important for all women to have the choice about how they breastfeed their babies."
Currently, the only requirement for employers is to conduct a risk assessment if a mother gives them written notification that she is breastfeeding.
The employer must consider the risks and "take reasonable action" - including, for example, adjusting the hours of work.
The Health and Safety Executive provides a list of recommendations of support employers should provide.
Seamus Nevin, head of employment and skills at the Institute of Directors, says companies are starting to recognise the advantages of having flexible attitudes.
"Adjusting workplaces for mothers has clear business benefits - increasing loyalty among female staff and consequently reducing recruitment and training costs for employers," he says.
"Where possible, employers should have a policy to support breastfeeding."

Road trips are synonymous with freedom, adventure and the exploration of, not just the places you visit, but also landscape within yourself. While I'm not sure our road trip to Bago enabled us to do all that, it certainly opened the landscape of Myanmar up to us.
7am on a Sunday morning with glorious sunshine beating down upon us, we set off north to visit the town of Bago. The night before we had been uncertain if we were even going to make it as our original driver, a local taxi driver and friend of one of the group, texted to say that he'd been involved in an accident and couldn't make it. Thankfully, he was unhurt, but his car wasn't and therefore unsafe for us to use. He did however pass us on to another friend who was able to drive us instead and so our road trip was rescued and we set out optimistically, anticipating a day filled with giant Buddhas, golden pagodas and lots of fun.
Bago, or Pegu as it was once known, is a little over an hour north from Yangon. The roads, while still busy on this holiday weekend, were wider and smoother than the road that had taken us east a few weeks earlier. The traffic remained consistently inconsistent in its lane use, speed and accuracy, but we learnt that if you start to use your horn about 100 meters up the road from where you want to pass, then the traffic knows you're there and will stay out of the way. I use pass advisedly because you can both over and undertake here, depending on which side has the most room and the least obstructions to the driving line!
We arrived in Bago at about 9.30am and quickly began our exploration of the former capital. Our first stop was one of numerous giant reclining Buddha's that inhabit the town. Many of them are quite ancient yet they all look new and shiny due to extensive restorations. This was evidenced by the bamboo scaffolding encasing our first Buddha, yet we could still clearly see his face, and the men working on whitening his features and repainting his eye-liner. We also met a postcard seller who serenaded one of our group with The Beatle's 'Let it Be' before selling us the oil-painted postcards 'his father' had painted!
A second reclining Buddha (the Shwethalyaung Buddha) was even grander in scale, all 180 ft. of it a monument to doomed love. My feeling was that the Buddha looked a little bit too much like the cat that got the cream, reclining with gay abandon on a gigantic mosaic pillow rather than representing the conversion of King Mgadeikpa from cruel, tyrannical parent who tortured his son for falling in love, to a good Buddhist like his new daughter in law. He was rather splendid though.
Here, we also learnt the bumpy route of tourism. Foreigners pay K10,000 ($10) to get a pass to visit all the sites in Bago. Straight forward enough, except when you realize that that money goes straight to the government and is not used for the upkeep of the sites. However, if you want to take photos you are charged another k300 (20p) and that money does return to the people. You are given a little ticket to attach to your camera and woe betide you if you don't have one, you will get politely hassled by men with varying degrees of English trying to explain, unclearly, what you need to know. As we had walked in and missed all the signs and booths relating to payments we were immediately targeted and it took some careful interpretation before we got it all straight, but we got there in the end.
A short but hectic ride across town lead us to the (very) golden Kanbawzathadi Palace. A lesson in Myanmar architecture, it dates from the Mon period and lay overgrown and forgotten until the 1990s when it was restored. In my opinion you CAN have too much gold but it was certainly an impressive building and the huge teak pillars, foundations sent from all over Myanmar hundreds of years ago, which were uncovered during the excavation, were something to behold.
Of course, we also visited Shwemawdaw pagoda, Bago's answer to Yangon's Shwedagon. It is, in fact, very similar to Shwedagon in style and layout (I got as lost here as I did at Swedagon) although its faded, golden stupa is taller, standing at 114 meters high. I always find that it's the shrines around the outside of the stupa that are the most interesting things. On this occasion I found a few that were more like fairground attractions than prayer spots, with a merry-go-round of little boats which people threw money at and another with undulating money pots and silver rotating rods that represented waves. Both seem strange ways to become closer to enlightenment, but I think the strangest is to be seen at the Snake monastery.
Here, people crowd around to see a century old, nine-meter long python believed to be the reincarnation of a Buddhist abbot. They lay money on its body as it rests in its, rather small, enclosure. I found it rather bizarre and not a little disturbing to see such an enormous reptile, resting with its head in touching distance, being revered by a stream of people.
Less creepy, but just as strange, was the Japanese war cemetery. Hidden away within the confines of a monastery we found a small, unloved memorial that hid a mass grave of Japanese soldiers. Not what we had expected at all and in stark contrast with the British War Cemetery at Taukkyan, which stood proudly by the side of the road and was definitely well kept. I guess the losers really don't like reminding of their history.
Other Buddha's that we visited included the four Kyaik Pun Paya Buddha's just outside Bago. These 100 ft. tall effigies sit back to back, pointing to the four cardinal points. Certainly impressive, and all slightly different, they were worth the burnt feet we suffered as we walked barefoot on the marble around them in the midday sun.
As we returned home we also stopped off at a nature park, which we had managed to, mistakenly, up grade to National Park. Therefore we were somewhat surprised to find skinny Disney characters and some sad looking bears and monkeys in rather concrete, uninspiring enclosures. We were looking for elephants, promised in the guidebook, but sadly invisible. We had got onto a very dilapidated bus to find them. The seats moved and the engine smoked having literally been kick-started by the driver. We were thankful to get off at the first stop, where the elephants were promised, and ended up having a short, semi- scenic walk through a part of the forest, the highlights of which were the loud group of teens who insisted on joining our photo shoot and having their picture taken with the albinos; and the enormous monkey who headed us off on a very rickety bridge.
We arrived home just before dark, hot, sweat soaked and dusty. We had seen a lot and had a lot of laughs, and while it might not have been a road trip in the truest sense of the word it was a Myanmar road trip, and that was good.

The Beautified Project – album "beyond the butterfly…" (LYRICS)
01. Butterfly
Beyond her butterfly
She dies every day
Beyond her butterfly
She cries through her veins
Beyond her butterfly
She searches for the truth
Beyond her butterfly she flies.
Butterfly, butterfly in my hands you try to fly
Yes I know it's so sad, in two days you must die, my butterfly.
Follow this bloody trace
Follow her bloody veins
Maybe then you'll see
She lives in a darker place
A place where she calls home
She wants to be alone
So that she can face, her pain
Butterfly, butterfly in my hands you try to fly
Yes I know it's so sad, in two days you must die, my butterfly,
butterfly… butterfly… you must die …
02. All Alone
Watching the mirror stare at me
Watching the future spit on me
Watching me going down
It was hard watching you walk away.
Sitting here all alone
Comes tomorrow I'll be gone
Even my neighbour Jerry the nun
Hasn't got a clue what's going on.
Getting high all alone
All our lives pretending clones
What is wrong with a bit of shame?
When you know you're the one to blame.
Whispers will turn to louder screams
My life will fall like an autumn leaf
Shadows of the past haunting our dreams
Tonight is the night and I'm so pleased.
hey, hey pain …
Sitting here all alone
Resting on the table a little gun
Even my neighbour Jerry the nun
Hasn't got a clue what's going on …
03. But I Can't
Find a place to hide, find a place to hide
Is this the end of your ride?
Coz you could be my BEAUTIFIED!
Find a way to ride, your emotions and your pride
I've found a way to fight
With my faith in my mind.
All these things that I see
Follow my dreams my fantasy
Every day till eternity
I'm searching an angel that feels for me.
It's neither the time nor the place
To hide behind a different face
Maybe I need my own space
To go through this darker phase.
Every day I feel my world comes crashing down
Every time I see your tears falling down
That's when I try to hide again
04. Some Promised Hope
Well I guess it's all over now
As all hopes have expired
But maybe there's still a chance in hell
So for my love, I'll go all the way.
Well I guess you're dissappointed now
As all the joys fade away
But maybe there's still a promised land
Where we'll all head one day.
I leave behind all the pain and the memories
I'm lost in my dreams
I search in you what I've lost in me
Some promised hope, that will set me free.
Well I know you were the only one,
Who chased her pain just like me
But what if you are the remedy
Who'll help me through this tragedy.
Will you ever find a way, to shine a bit of light on me
Come enlighten me
I need a bit of time to breathe
I've got a lot of pain to feed, to feel complete…
05. It's a Little Late
It's a little late darling
To play this game
It's a little late over
Come sit this pain.
But she knows if she goes
She can never come back again
And I know if she stays
I can never sing my pain to her.
Well I guess she might be the one
but as always I'm on the run
On the run from myself
And anything good that comes my way.
Like a lonesome bird in a broken cage
Like a broken heart in its final stage
06. To Us Together
Sadness in your eyes, madness in your smile
Is tearing me apart
Every time you criticize, everything that you despise
Takes me by surprise.
Maybe tomorrow is too late
For tomorrow I can't wait anymore
All the little things you said
All the mistakes that I made for you.
Don't you worry darling
Things could be much worse
I will stay beside you
And drink a little toast
To us together… In pain forever.
Every little sacrifice, every little compromise
Has gone to waste
Every time I'm searching inside
It's all the times I'm searching inside
There's nothing I find.
Maybe it's all in my head
All the things that she said
Maybe it's a bit too late
To think about the things we felt…
07. Bleak
Come and taste, the sweet sense of sorrow
Reach and feel. the bitter taste of tomorrow
Maybe then, I'll be there again
Like an autumn leaf, waiting for a final wind.
Why can't you see, what you've done to me
It's not pleasure or pain, but somehow I feel insane
I sit and talk to God, he tells me he loves me a lot
But love can turn to hate when promises are delayed…
08. Why Kill it
Why kill it? let it sleep
Let her sleep and dream once again
But if she lives, she might ask
Do I know the answers to her prayers?
Wide awake, will I sleep
To see the light once again?
If I bleed, and die in pain
Will she dream of me ever again?
She lights candles for her sins
Reflecting sorrow in her tears
A fallen angel of her dreams
I'll walk you against my own fears.
Lick the wounds, as they heal
So many scars, they'll never heal
Cry some more, shed some tears
As she takes it all and dissappears…

A tough economy coupled with a maxed out job market has changed the way Americans spend their money. While the good news is that more and more people are now saving money for a secure future, the not so good news is that they are even scrimping on some essential expenses in the process.
Life insurance is one such essential expense that anyone who has dependants that rely on his income needs to incur. While many people view it as a "cake" that they pay for, but never get to eat, they fail to see the bigger purpose in getting life insurance.
It provides you the comfort of knowing your family will have the same quality of life even if you are not around to provide for them. Besides, the beneficiaries of the policy or the ones who get to "eat" the cake are your own – the people you care for the most in the entire world.
If you can, at a very low cost, ensure that they remain financially secure even after you've passed on, wouldn't you want to grab that chance with both your hands? Yes, it is possible to save on your life insurance cost by following some simple guidelines.
First thing you can do is consider term life insurance instead of permanent or whole life insurance. Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific term or period of time, which could be 10, 15, 20 or even 30 years.
Since term life insurance is based on the premise that a lot of policies will lapse without the company having to pay death benefits, it's the most affordable type of life insurance. In addition to this, term life insurance does not build any cash value, which makes it possible for many young families to buy it for cheap.
Insurance agents will usually talk up whole life insurance because of its "investment component," but you should know the ROI on life insurance products are not as high as other tax-deferred investment vehicles. So, it's better to get term life insurance and invest the difference in other investment schemes.
Another way to reduce the cost of life insurance is to buy only as much life insurance as you need. For that, it's important to evaluate how much coverage will be required to ensure your family can maintain the same lifestyle after you're no longer around.
While it may be impossible to precisely calculate your insurance needs as your personal circumstances will keep changing, experts opine that you should revisit your policy every year or at least every time there is a change in your situation. An example of that would be if you've just bought a new home or had a baby recently.
One of the biggest cost-saving factors for any life insurance policy is to buy it when you're young. Premiums are generally low for younger folk in their 20's and 30's. The older you are at the time of buying a life insurance policy, the higher will be your premium rates.
Obesity and health issues also heavily impact the life insurance rates you're offered. If you want to save on your life insurance policy, it's important to get into shape. If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, make an effort to bring it under control and show your insurer some evidence of improvement in your health to get a lower quote. Those who are overweight will be quoted a higher premium and they should exercise and manage their diet to qualify for lower premium rates.
Quit smoking cigarettes and see your premium rates plummet. Using tobacco and nicotine products can have a negative influence on your premium rates and if you stop consuming these products, you can make considerable savings on your life insurance policy.
What you can also do to reduce your life insurance premium rates is limit your alcohol consumption and avoid other unhealthy habits like driving under influence. Not only can an insurance company contest claims for deaths related to alcoholism, but they can also use previous incidences DUI or DWI to increase premiums or deny coverage.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make when buying life insurance policy is not doing enough research. If you've decided to buy a life insurance policy, it pays to shop around and you can easily do it online from the comfort of your home. Look for policies that suit your individual requirements, hunt for best rates, compare quotes from different companies and do a through background check on the insurance companies you've short listed before zeroing in on any one.
Like we've already mentioned, it's important to revaluate your policies every once in a while so your coverage is updated to meet your current needs. For example, if your house has been paid for, you can easily do with a lower coverage than before. Same would be the case if your children have already been through college.
Similarly, if there is a drastic improvement in a pre-existing health condition or you've stayed off cigarettes for over a year, you may qualify for lower rates and therefore, should ask your insurance company for a reevaluation.
You can also save on your life insurance cost by making annual payments instead of monthly or weekly installments and by allowing money to be directly debited from your account. This will lower the administrative and operational cost of the insurance company and they may be willing to pass the benefit on to you!
If both you and your spouse are considering life insurance, it may be worth your while to buy a joint term life or first-to-die insurance than two individual policies. This type of policy covers both the spouses and the benefits are paid when either one of the insured dies. Most often, the premiums are lower for such type of policies.
Last, but not the least, be truthful on your insurance application. The greatest injustice you can do to the people you leave behind is providing false information on your application. If your insurance company finds evidence of misrepresentation of truth, it can cancel your policy or worse, withhold paying out death benefits to your beneficiaries when they most need it!

Six threequels better than the sequel
With the third instalment of the Taken franchise disappointing audiences worldwide, critics agree it's the worst of the trilogy. Most of the time the 'threequel' pales in comparison to it's predecessors, however, on the odd occasion it's viewed as far superior, particularly to the sequel. Usually, this is because the sequel was so bad it couldn't get any worse, or it's a determined apology from the filmmakers, taking the time to craft a third entry that wipes our memories clean of the horror that came before. Here are six threequels that are considered better than the sequel.
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
While Die Hard 2 (1990) is in no way a bad film, it does suffer from deja vu. Of course, most of the humour comes from John McClane (Bruce Willis) finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time again. However, it's a formula that we were already familiar with: one man, alone in a building, against a group of terrorists.
With the return of the original's director John McTiernan, clearly that same premise wouldn't be good enough for him again. And so we're treated with a more expansive story, allowing McClane full roam across the entire city of New York, and roam he does. With a foot chase leading to an explosion on a subway, the tearing up of Central Park in a NY cab and surfing a truck in a storm drain tidal wave, McClane ensures his destruction knows no bounds.
Another element added to mix things up was the addition of Samuel L. Jackson's reluctant sidekick Zeus. Although in the previous film McClane had assistance, this was sporadic and so allowed for more human interaction with McClane and therefore more humour between the duo.
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
After the incredible success of Ocean's Eleven (2001), a remake of the rat-pack starring original, nobody was really calling for a sequel or expecting one. So when the eleven reunited for another heist, excitement was high and was duly followed by disappointment. Whilst the original was slick and cool, the inventively titled Ocean's Twelve (2004) felt forced and dull.
Not willing to let the memory of Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his team die with that miserable excuse of a film, a third instalment was released predictably titled Ocean's Thirteen. One of the major improvements over the sequel was it's relocation back to Las Vegas, after Twelve's vacation in Europe. The bright lights of the strip make for a more inviting and glamorous heist. And although the heist itself did seem over the top at times, it was easier to look past purely because of the sheer enjoyment watching it.
With Andy Garcia's Terry Benedict no longer a threat, a new mark was required, and in this case it was Al Pacino's delicious Hotel and Casino owner Wally Bank. Played to perfection, it was clear Pacino was revelling in his bad guy performance.
Mission: Impossible 3 (2006)
Not many were expecting the success of a film based on a television show from the 60s, but when released in 1996 Mission: Impossible was a hit and started the Tom Cruise starring spy franchise. Four years later the sequel M:I 2 (2000) appeared directed by the Hong Kong legend John Woo and it was clear he'd left his mark. With all his trademarks included, slow motion, dual guns, doves, M:I 2 was more of an action film than a spy thriller like the original.
The man who rebooted Star Trek and is now currently doing the same for Star Wars, directed Mission: Impossible 3. Although it retained a few sporadic action set pieces, it focused a lot more on actual spying and intrigue with the outrageous gadgets Mission: Impossible became known for.
We were also treated with a much more devilish villain in the late Philip Seymour Hoffman's Owen Davian over the more comical and camp Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) in M:I 2.
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Another surprise hit back in 1997, Men in Black launched Will Smith to movie stardom, mixing the perfect blend of science-fiction and comedy. Five years later the sequel didn't quite hit the same notes, dragging Tommy Lee Jones' Agent Kay out of retirement to face a less than thrilling villain.
However, with the third instalment a new spin on the franchise with the creative addition of time travel made for an interesting and refreshing take. With it's new time period of the 60s and a younger version of Kay, played by an uncanny Josh Brolin, Men in Black 3 felt like the sequel we deserved. This time they faced off against Jermaine Clement's brilliantly designed Boris 'the animal'.
The only disappointment in my personal opinion was the lack of a theme song by Will Smith himself. Instead we had to put up with a poor excuse of one by rapper Pitbull.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
When Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) hit cinemas a franchise was expected; after all it was created by the man who brought us Star Wars, George Lucas. The second outing for Indy, though not terrible, just didn't live up to the promise. Though the villains were interesting and new, set a year earlier in 1935, Indy's nemeses the Nazi's were nowhere to be found. We were also given one of the whiniest love interests to ever appear on screen.
So for the third appearance of the great adventurer, whiny love interests were out and the evil Nazi's were back causing trouble, tracking down artefacts to help win the war. One thing we can all agree helped was the addition of James Bond himself, Sean Connery as Indy's father, Dr Henry Jones Snr. The chemistry between the two increased the comedy factor and made for a more rounded adventure experience.
The set pieces felt more exciting and the plot itself was more of the chase we felt in the original, hunting a long lost religious artefact, the Holy Grail.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
One of the biggest horror movies of the early eighties and one of the original slasher films, Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) terrified teenagers upon release. With it's creative concept of killer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) murdering his victims within their own dreams, it certainly put you off ever closing your eyes again.
With a rushed sequel subtitled Freddy's Revenge out only a year later, fans were left disappointed. Craven, not wanting a sequel, refused to work on the film. Although continuing the storyline of the original it took on a completely different direction. Instead of Freddy committing the murders himself, he possessed the protagonist and had them kill for him, an idea Craven did not like.
Two years later, and Craven returned to pen the third film in the hope it would bring the series to a satisfying end. The film was a success, and is considered the best sequel in the franchise (unfortunately for Craven this meant that another film would be on the cards). It was praised for it's special effects, the comedic tone that was incorporated into the Freddy Krueger character, and the return of Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp), the original's protagonist.
- Last Crusade is hands down my favourite Indiana Jones - it's all about Sean Connery as his dad.

Okay, so I have been on the computer a lot more lately. Why? Well, basically because when I am not feeling well, I just veg out on the computer. It beats lying in bed all the time:) My lovely B-day present (a.k.a. bladder infection) is still hanging on for dear life! I'm some better, but not 100% and the meds. make me feel puke-ish (sorry). So, here I am on this lovely rainy Tuesday morning:)
In one of my recent post, I was sharing my new eating plan that included cutting out grains and high starch foods. Well, that is all fine and good, but I am finding that getting enough carbs is tricky. There is a fine line between too much and not enough. With no grains and low GI fruits etc., I have to be careful that I don't let my sugar drop. I have had terrible experiences with low blood sugar and it is quiet scary! So, I am going to try (that is the key word:) adding a little more banana and maybe some higher starch squashes to my plan. I also think more beans might help. I have black beans cooking now that I soaked for over 24 hours (changing the water frequently). I love black bean soup!
So, in trying to find that fine line between too many carbs and not enough, I would love to hear if you have any tips or ideas! Are any of you low-carbers? If so, how do you keep your energy up? I am not calling myself low-carb, but basically when you can't eat grains and sugars–well, that kind of makes it low-carb:)
Okay, on to the fine dressing! I finally tried tahini dressing! I got the link from the lovely Heather and I'm so glad I did! I think she got the link from Mama Pea, who got the recipe from I forget where! Oh, here it is at Cheaty Monkey! Anyway, thanks to all involved:)
I had the fine dressing over stir fry veggies with edamame beans, served over spinach. It was SO yummy and satisfying. I didn't even need a piece of chocolate after lunch!GASP! Don't worry, the chocolate came later. I had to leave the vinegar out of the recipe because I don't do well with vinegar, but it was still very tasty. I found it interesting though that I didn't really care for the tahini on it's own and I didn't like the dressing just on baby carrots. LOVED it on my salad though!
I finally felt like getting on the treadmill this morning and then did a 20 minute yogadownload. They have some new classes to offer that you might want to check out if you like yoga.
Also, check out Katie's Operation Chocolate-Covered Kindness! Not to mention, she has some yummy babies all over her blog:) The more you click on her blog, the more money she can raise for charity–SWEET! Heather is also having a give-away that involves Katie's efforts. Check them both out!
I want to leave you with something funny that may gross all you foodies out! My daughter was helping my mother-in-law clean this past weekend. She always finds it amusing to count how many cake mixes etc. that her granny has. Here are the stats:
57 cake mixes
11 boxes of brownies
47 jars of peanut butter
25 pounds of powdered sugar
30 cans evaporated milk
20-30 bags chocolate, peanut butter etc. chips
tons of splenda
I'll stop there–but, HOLY MOLY!!!! Does that just make you cringe:)? If they ever got snowed in, they could just live on cake and peanut butter!
Have a great day!

But if you are clinically depressed or struggle with anxiety, you may find that your symptoms such as fatigue and gloominess are worse during the holiday season. The holidays are a time when all that festivity and glee may intensify your feelings that your own life isn\u2019t as wonderful as you would like it to be. During this busy time, you may focus squarely on who or what is missing from your life rather than what you have to be thankful for. You may compare your own life to the seemingly perfect lives of those around you and conclude that you have been shortchanged somehow. Expectations of Special Times At first you may look forward to the holidays, feeling like this really is a great time of year. Anticipation of happy holidays can lead to very high expectations. You expect an unfolding of memorable, fun times. You expect to feel joyous and fulfilled. But having extremely high expectations of what you will experience during the holidays is an almost surefire way to set yourself up for sadness and disappointment. When the holidays don\u2019t meet your expectations, the disappointment may consume you. Whether you expect to enjoy visiting with family, attending office parties or exchanging gifts, you may find that reality doesn\u2019t measure up. The higher your expectations, the more likely that what happens isn\u2019t quite as interesting or exciting as you thought it would be. Grief and Loneliness For those who are grieving the loss of someone who was very important in their lives, the holiday season can stir up very painful emotions. Memories of holidays past may make you feel empty. Memories can be triggered by anything from the sound of music and carols to the aroma of the holiday meal being prepared. Grief can be even more intense if your loved one passed away during the holidays, and this time of year might feel like a cruel reminder of your loss. If you don\u2019t have close family or friends to surround you during this time, you may find that even if you are usually able to cope with being by yourself, you feel very lonely during the holidays. Everywhere you look is a reminder of those who have loving family relationships. When that isn\u2019t what you are experiencing, your loneliness can be all-consuming, and it can greatly intensify feelings of depression. Other Things to Consider During the Holidays The holidays aren\u2019t the only reason emotions may take a nosedive this time of year. Increased depressive symptoms around the holidays could also be caused by the change of seasons. If your mood gets low just before holidays and doesn\u2019t spring back till well after they have passed, that could be a sign that you have seasonal affective disorder rather than just the holiday blues. If you think it\u2019s possible that you have seasonal affective disorder, talk to your doctor. The holidays are a time during when you probably have a lot more to do than usual, and this can cause you to feel overwhelmed and anxious. You have a lot of places to go, or you may have a lot of planning to do. You feel like you can\u2019t possibly do it all, and most likely you can\u2019t. In order to avoid experiencing disappointment or anxiousness, you may have to say no to some of the things you have been asked to do. Ways to Cope During the Holidays To cope with depression and anxiety during the holidays, it\u2019s important to pay attention to what is triggering you to feel bad, and do what you have to do to stay in emotional balance. Try to avoid having high expectations of how things are supposed to be. During this time, it\u2019s important to have a support system of people that you can be honest with about how you are feeling. If you are overwhelmed by everything that you have to do, ask for help. And give yourself permission to say no to invitations or to leave social events early if you need to. Avoid relying on alcohol or drugs to relieve your negative feelings. Don\u2019t skip taking medication you\u2019ve been prescribed and keep any scheduled appointments with counselors. If feelings of depression and anxiety continue to escalate, let your doctor know. Most of all, keep in mind that the holidays are a temporary time, and they will be behind you before you know it.

Blues Acquire Toivonen From Boston
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today the team has acquired goaltender Hannu Toivonen (HA-noo, TOI-voh-nuhn) from the Boston Bruins in exchange for Carl Soderberg. according to the stlouisblues official website.
"Hannu is a former 1st round draft choice who gives our club depth in the goaltending position," said Davidson. "Our scouts feel he has tremendous upside and a bright future in the National Hockey League."
Toivonen, 23, was selected by Boston in the 1st round, 29th overall in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He has spent the last four seasons in the Bruins' organization, splitting time between Boston and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Providence Bruins.
Last season, Toivonen played in 18 games with Boston, posting a 3-9-1 record. The 6-2, 210-pound goaltender appeared in 27 games with Providence, backstopping the club to a 13-13-1 record, a .909 save percentage along with a 2.37 goals against average, which ranked ninth in the AHL.
The Kalvola, Finland native made his NHL debut on Oct. 8, 2005 at Pittsburgh, earning his first NHL victory in a 7-6 overtime game.
4 Responses to Blues Acquire Toivonen From Boston
I imagine Toivonen and Bacashihua will battle out who backs up Legace with the loser starting on the farm?
I'm wondering if Chiarelli and Davidson have something going on here. This is (2) promising prosepects that Boston has sent over in Boyes previously and now Toivonen. I wish Boston hadn't given up on him this quickly. He is young and probably one day will be a legitimate top 5 or 10 goalie in the league.
I don't know much on this Soderberg. It sounds like he has some upside. As a bruin fan I am still upset over the Boyes/Wideman trade. Wideman is brutal.
Man Boston gives up on goalies quick. Wonder who they'll get for Rask after his first loss.
My guess is a bag of pucks. But seriously I could Kind of justify the Boyes trade because Boston is actually deep at center and despite popular believe Wideman actually is a decent defender, with a offensive upside. That Soderberg is a Big kid, He is 6-3, 200lbs and he is only 21, Second round pick, so with the recent addition of Fernandez, and Rask waiting in the winds(P-Bruins Starter now) I think Toivonen was the most expendable of the group with maybe the exception of Thomas(He would be hard to move right now because of the 1 mil cap hit and his age and experience.)

I need an educated opinion here.
How many of you have husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends who know about your "secret" blog? Did you start the blog and then clue them in later? How did they react? Where they upset that you kept this "secret" from them?
I was going to tell my wonderful, supportive husband about my blog at the one year sober mark. I am now at Day 293, and one year is in sight! Plus, I didn't want to share my successful sobriety blog if I had not successfully stayed sober. It seemed a contradiction, somehow.
I've gone out of my way to not include personal or harmful info about any of my family. Still, it's a bit like having someone read your diary. And I am not, in real life, an over-sharer.
All comments appreciated!

Thread of the Day: Would You Get a Supercar in Coupe or Roadster Form?
Once the initial excitement wears off over a sports coupe , automakers introduce a drop-top version to revive interest and boost sales. Supercar makers aren't any different; Lamborghini has just pulled the wraps off the 2013 Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster.
Though many enthusiasts prefer coupes for the increased structural integrity and safety provided by a fixed roof, the roadster-only Mazda Miata has found a cult following among those who prefer an open-air driving experience. Making a roadster out of a coupe requires structurally enhancing materials to compensate for the lack of roof. The new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster has reinforced B-pillars to cope with the loss of the fixed roof and uses a pair of removable carbon-fiber panels that can be stored in the front cargo area.
Would you get a supercar in coupe or roadster form? After considering the pros and cons of a roadster versus a coupe, share your comments below in today's Thread of the Day. Be sure to check out our 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster First Look here.

First steps for Highland Wildlife Park's Pallas kittens
Six Pallas cats were born two months ago under a breeding programme at the Scottish park, offering hope for the survival of the endangered species
Six Pallas cats were born two months ago under a breeding programme at the Scottish park, offering hope for the survival of the endangered species
Hidden cameras have captured exciting footage of the moment six rare baby Pallas cats first ventured out of their nest box at the Highland Wildlife Park (HWP) in Scotland.
The kittens, now seven weeks old and still tiny, cuddly balls of fur, are a major success story for the park. This is because Pallas cats are a "near threatened species".
These beautiful creatures are very difficult to breed in captivity due to the high mortality rate among new-born kittens. They could easily contract toxoplasmosis, a deadly parasitic disease.
To minimise the risk of infection, HWP devised a complicated plan that brought together cutting-edge technology, animal management and modern medicine.
The park's adult Pallas cats, male Beebop and female Alula, were moved to a private enclosure with hidden cameras and sound-activated recording equipment. Keepers needed to know when mating had taken place so that the plan could be implemented.
The Pallas cat is native to the grasslands of Central Asia and the Middle East. An adult Pallas cat is about the same size as a domestic cat. It has a strong, stocky body covered in thick fur. The animal's summer coat is ochre-coloured with dark bars on the torso and front legs. Its winter coat is greyer and has fewer markings than the summer fur.
The Pallas cat has black rings on its tail and dark blobs on its forehead. Its face is covered with light-coloured fur, with dark stripes running down from the corners of its eyes. Its distinct markings and bright green/yellow eyes make it one of the most beautiful members of the cat family.
In the wild, the Pallas cat is in danger of disappearing, and that is why the conservation programme at HWP is so important.
This elusive animal has long been hunted for its fur, and its organs are used as medicine in rural Russia and Mongolia. The cats can also easily get caught in traps set by villagers for foxes and wolves.
They are also threatened by habitat loss, as grasslands are destroyed by urbanisation and farming.
Pallas cats have a weak immune system so it is very difficult to raise them in captivity. They can easily catch viruses they are not exposed to in high-altitude grasslands. The kittens at HWP are only the third recorded litter born worldwide this year.
With programmes like the one at HWP, we can rest assured that the Pallas cat has a future.

Chapter 2 (Part 2): The Race for The Broad – A Tale of Three Cities
"I think what Santa Monica has to offer is an incredible audience, a prime location and willingness to work with the Broads."[i] – Kevin McKeown, Santa Monica City Councilman
Within just a few months of BCAM's opening at LACMA, rumors began to circulate Eli Broad had been less than forthcoming about his true intentions. Contrary to his initial denial of it, at the end of 2008 local newspapers began reporting Broad intended to build a new museum for his collections in Beverly Hills.[ii] The City of Beverly Hills quickly identified a prominent parcel of land at the intersections of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards for the project. An architectural competition was announced, a short list determined (Thom Mayne, Jean Nouvel, Shigeru Ban, Rafl Viñoly and Christian Portzamparc), and schematic renderings of the site plan were even published. [iii] If this speedy development seemed too good to be true, it's because it was.
By the end of 2009, Broad announced there were actually multi cities vying for his collections and a new museum building to house them. Beverly Hills, previously unchallenged was suddenly competing with the City of Santa Monica, and Broad's foundation announced there was also a third, unnamed city in the running.[iv] This of course turned out to be the City of Los Angeles. Broad said he wasn't, "trying to play the two [three] municipalities against each other […] he hope[d] that by talking to several different cities he c[ould] accelerate the process of building."[v] But play them against each other he did, for six months, trying to secure the best deal.
Introduction (Part 1): Public-Private Development Partnerships
It may seem unconventional to begin a thesis in arts administration discussing a football stadium. This thesis is an exploration of urban planning in Los Angeles involving large-scale, public-private development. In the following chapters, I document how philanthropist Eli Broad's under-construction contemporary art museum, The Broad, is being utilized to stimulate further redevelopment of an area of downtown Los Angeles called Bunker Hill. The Broad museum and the larger, coinciding Grand Avenue Project has engendered some conversation about the investment associated with public-private development projects, and the resulting public and private benefits. he amount of dialogue investment and return benefit involved with the Broad museum and Grand Avenue is minimal in comparison to another large-scale, public-private development proposal less than two miles away: Farmer's Field. The proposed downtown National Football League stadium has garnered substantial, well-publicized and in-depth political, social, and economic debate about investments and benefits. For this reason, I believe reflecting on some of the lively discussions circulating abound Farmer's Field can be useful in introducing similar questions and concerns, which may not have addressed or considered, or worse ignored, in the planning process of The Broad museum.
"We've built more arenas and stadiums than anyone in the world, ever–including the Romans!"[i]
– Tim Leiweke, President and C.E.O., Anschutz Entertainment Group
It is a plotline ripped from the popular television show Entourage (season 7 to be specific). Big-time developer Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) wants to bring the NFL back to Los Angeles. AEG's tactic to lure a franchise to the city is to build a brand new 1.3 billion stadium in downtown. The new stadium, which AEG has already sold naming rights to will be called Farmers Field, after the insurance company. AEG plans to squeeze the 72,000-seat stadium into the already dense LA Live—an entertainment and sports cluster, which AEG has spent more than a decade developing between the Figueroa corridor and the 110 Freeway. LA Live includes the Staples Center (home to both the Lakers and Clippers NBA franchises), Nokia Theaters, Regal Cinemas, JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton, and Grammy Museum. AEG has appealed for both public and government support of the project by communicating its record of success and by touting a lengthy list of impressive economic benefits, AEG claims, the city would should the NFL return: tens of thousands of jobs, construction of nearby hotels, a revived Convention Center, and hundreds of millions of dollars in increased economic activity.[ii] The economic influence seems incalculable and the project non-negotiable.

LeAnn Rimes Wants You To Know That She Was So Much Better Than Her Stepson When She Was His Age
Scientists and animal experts will tell you that luck dragons are usually very maternal and The NeverEnding Story showed us that they usually have words of support and wisdom for young humans. That trait must've passed LeAnn Rimes by.
LeAnn did a looooooooong interview with The Mail on Sunday (via InTouch) where she continued to show us that she lives in a fart bubble of delusion by saying that she and Eddie Cibrian were meant to be together and splitting up is not an option. (Cut to next year when the money train crashes and burns and Eddie leaves her for an extra from Vanderpump Rules.) LeAnn also talked about her upbringing and how she was the one putting food on the table at a really young age. LeAnn says that when she was a kid, she was EVERY kid. She was doing it all. So when she looks at her 11-year-old bonus son trying to get his shoe lace game together, she lets out a "pfft" over what a simpleton he is.
My mum and dad were not meant to be together. They got divorced when I was 14. I was sad but I was also fine; there was so much going on with my career that there wasn't a lot of time to talk about it. But they instilled great values in me. I attribute my work ethic to my dad. He taught me to show up on time and know what I was doing. I have a great reputation in this business because of that. Most people don't come back from things like my dad and I went through [the court case]. We didn't speak for three and a half years. But now we are close. Eddie and I take his kids to visit my dad in Nashville.
I was super-driven as a kid. Even though I was on the road a lot, the teachers would give me homework and I would get it all done. I look at my 11-year-old stepson Mason, and I'm like, 'I signed a record deal when I was your age. You're still fumbling with tying your shoelaces.'
I went to Brand Glanville's Twitter and it's still standing and hasn't collapsed into a pile of rage, wine-infused tears and ash, which is surprising.
LeAnn is seriously such a kind and supportive bonus mom. But you know, the paparazzi that she calls have taken pictures of her doing absolutely EVERYTHING and yet, I've never seen pictures of her tying her shoe laces. Hmmm… Come to think of it, I don't think luck dragons can tie their shoe laces. Shoe laces confuse them. So yeah, she's looking down at little Mason for not getting a record deal at the age of 11 and yet ho can't even tie her own laces. Get off your high horse, high horse.
Here's the kind and supportive bonus mom, her piece and her bonus kids at The Grove's Christmas tree lighting ceremony the other day. I see LeAnn flirting with Santa while he's wondering why Blitzen is saying human words to him.

text: My old roomie and good friend Sara came to visit us! I haven't seen her since my wedding over a year ago so it was so wonderful catching up. We had a great time lounging at the beach and checking out downtown Naples. I wish she could have stayed longer! I miss her already!! We are gearing up for some more visitors tomorrow. Luke's mom, dad, sister and little brother are coming to town. We can't wait!! 🙂Sunday evening we had dinner on Fifth Avenue at a Yabba's Island Grill. We had eaten there once before with Luke's dad and brother and knew it was a good choice. After dinner we headed to the Pier for sunset. Unfortunately, it was a pretty cloudy evening so we didn't get a sunset…but it was still beautiful. The beach always is 🙂

GREER, S.C., July 19, 2016. BMW is to support a new twice-weekly freighter service between Greenville-Spartanburg airport, South Carolina and Munich, Germany beginning November 05, 2016. Hamburg-based Senator International is responsible for the operation.
BMW opened a manufacturing plant in 1994 (right) adjacent to the airport and Interstate 85. In May the company produced its 3.5 millionth BMW made in South Carolina. The vehicle was sent by rail to the port of Charleston for shipment to a customer in Fuyang, China - about seven hours drive west of Shanghai.
The plant is the sole global producer of BMW's X3, X4, X5 and X6 Sports Activity Vehicles that are exported to more than 140 countries.
According to a BMW spokesman the manufacturing facility expects to use the new Senator service for both imports and exports between Germany, South Carolina and the surrounding region that includes North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia.
"Products like this, which allow the overall supply chain process to run smoothly, are the keys to success for our customers. We are looking forward to many customers benefiting from this special new product, which will also service any air cargo to and from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland," said Senator CEO Tim Kirschbaum.

When and what to throw
July 23, 2007
Interesting post from Elliotte Harold, proposing a new nomenclature for exceptions, whereby checked exceptions are referred to as "external" and runtime exceptions as "internal".
The discussion is also interesting. Like Ingo, the guidance I've been giving is to only throw a checked exception if it's conceivable that the caller could do something about it. This is fine, but not so useful for programmers who lack the experience to spot opportunities for good error handling. I'll give the internal / external approach a bash and see how it goes with people.
DSpace Foundation
July 17, 2007
Plenty of coverage of the launch of the DSpace foundation today. It's been a long time coming, and I'd like to congratulate Michele Kimpton and congratulate and thank Julie Walker, MacKenzie Smith and others at HP and MIT who've worked over the last couple of years to make the foundation a reality.
P.S. It's only now that I realize that "DSpace Foundation" sounds like an Asimov novel. No bad thing! 🙂
C#: Fat or Fit?
July 12, 2007
In C# 3.0 Considered Rubenesque?, David Ing considers (mainly) whether C# needs the functional extensions being proposed for v3.0 and by the by touches on a discussion I've been having internally about Java, Python and Erlang. The main points for me revolve around language complexity, the timing of the need for functional programming and when not to abstract.
Elliotte Harold has been vocal against adding complexity to the Java language. The complexity loving geek in my stamps his foot ("… but I want properties / closures / etc") but Elliotte's right – programming languages don't have to accrete features, and in the real world most Java programmers get dazed and confused if you throw inner classes at them. On the other hand python has managed to support a functional style of programming (although I'm told that this isn't totally pythonic) and is still considered easy to learn, so perhaps it can be done simply.
You don't need to reach for Mother Shipton's almanac to know that functional programming languages are going to be hugely important, with processors now not getting much faster, but gaining more cores. The languages that enable normal rank and file developers to take advantage of that are going to win in the way memory managed languages did, and in the way dynamic languages are doing. The question is not really "if" but "when", and the answer probably depends who you are and what you need to do.
If I were writing an data analysis program to run a cluster (say 32 machines with dual-dual processors), then I'd be reaching for any language that let me use them as efficiently as possible – give the air con something to think about. Even if I had a dual-dual server dedicated to a single service I'd probably do so too, even though I'd be unlikely to get a 4x speed up due to I/O contention (example from Pragmatic Programmer). Most of our current web facing servers (where most of my code will end up running) are single or dual core, and aren't due for an upgrade any time soon. So I'm better off sticking to what I know for now.
The final point is probably the most important, since it's not future gazing: –
There is a school of thought that when you're working with a relational database rather than a collection of in-memory objects, then you should not lose track of the various nuances and advantages of the stores – abstraction to save typing can come back to bite you?
Replace "working with a relational database" with "machine boundary" or "transactions" and it's still true. Remember the first law of software complexity – you can't get rid of complexity, just move it around. The more amazing an abstraction is at hiding complexity from you, the more likely it is to leak.
Stuart Lewis, via the DSpace UKUG list: –
Dear all,

An Entrance Somewhere Else
July 2, 2007
I finished working for the SPECTRa-T project last Friday. As of today, I'm employed by the Unilever Centre. I'll still be providing technical advice and software development management for the SPECTRa-T project, and involved in various JISC groups (especially the SWORD project which, incidentally has been garnering approval already!)
The role at the Unilever Centre basically splits into two parts. I'll be working as software development co-ordinator and integrator (pumpkin holder) on the polymer informatics project, and I'll be expanding the work I've been doing in my 'spare time' providing support for software engineering in the centre, with a much greater emphasis on providing training and best practice advice.
The SPECTRa-T project has appointed a developer, who will arrive (and be introduced!) in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you're interested in the project, some initial documentation is appearing on the spectra-chem sourceforge site.

He subsequently went to Europe to study composition with Karlheinz Stockhausen and electronic music with Gottfried Michael Koening and Hans Ulrich Humpert. In 1977 Vivier undertook a long journey to Asia and the Middle East. The great variety of musical he encountered had the effect, paradoxically, of purifying his own musical expression. Following a few years teaching in Montreal and Ottawa, he devoted his time entirely to composition.
