Regardless of where you are in the world, we are keen to design (or redesign) and create your website. We are software and web developers operating in sunny Nelson and Wellington, New Zealand. We understand how to make your website reinforce traditional sales and marketing principles to make your organisation successful.
For us, there is only one good outcome from your visiting our site - that is you contact us. You might glean something from these pages and admire the lovely photo at the top (Nelson and the southern tip of Tasman Bay from near the summit of Fringe Hill), but that's no use to us at all. We want to talk with you! Hopefully you will have confidence in what we are saying and get in touch. That is why we have sprinkled many contact us links around!
There is a lot of information about website development in these pages. We assume you have arrived here because you are establishing or improving your web presence. If there is anything we can clarify or expand on, please contact us.
Contact us now for a free no obligation chat about your web presence.
Currently a significant percentage of website visitors are using small devices, mobile phones and tablets. At the same time desktop screens may be large. Flat screens of 22" - 30" are available and affordable.
This site uses a fluid (or liquid) layout so that the display adjusts according to the screen size in use. If you are viewing this on a laptop or desktop try altering the browser size to see how things change as the width decreases.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss these issues, maybe its time for a redesign?
They even have Android phones in China!
Today, many websites need revamping. They were built years ago and don't compete very well. People browsing the web are using smaller mobile devices and larger monitors. An old "fixed width" layout of 760 - 800 pixels can appear ridiculous on these modern screens. We are happy to re-vitalise your web presence with new ideas and modern techniques.
If you answer "no" to any of the following, please get in touch with us.
A web site redesign can make a big difference to your business. Other questions you may think about are:
We recommend three free open source Content Management Systems (CMS) Drupal, Wordpress and Concrete5 They are written in the PHP programming lanuage and use the MySQL database. Depending on your requirements, one system will be the best fit.
We will develop modules (plugins/widgets) for special features you may require. Usually, we configure the CMS, design and build the theme, set up search engine optimisation factors, set up content and images to suit you, test, upload, and train you how to use the system. We would also add Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Disclaimer pages if required. We will explain how you should solicit links for best search engine ranking. This will provide you with these benefits:
In the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql and PHP) hosting arena where most websites begin life, there are several popular CMS's (Content management Systems) to choose from. In our opinion these are Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla and the upcoming Concrete5. Each has their strengths and weaknesses and the decision on which one to use will be based on several factors such as the user's intention and ability to edit content and what extra features are required. For e-commerce Magento is a strong product or there are commerce modules for the previously mentioned CMS's.
We have experience will all these CMS's as well as PHP MVC frameworks that are not specifically CMS's. When performance is crucial we use the Yii framework.
Incidently PHP is the most used server-side language on the Web, powering 77% of all database-driven websites including Facebook and Wikipedia.
Currently the main language of the Internet is English. However English is not the language spoken by most people on the planet. According to Wikipedia it comes in third place behind Chinese (Mandarin) and Spanish.
This site is multilingual, it can switch between English and Spanish. There is no "marketing" reason for this, I don't think I will gain clients from being multilingual. It is an example and quite affordable with any competent Content Management System, in this case Drupal 7.
New Zealand is a particularly mono-lingual country. Our education system (apart from Te Reo) offers languages other than English quite late (usually secondary school) and the languages provided are not useful in terms of our major trading partners. Few websites in the tourisn sector are multilingual, congratulations to those who have made the effort. I believe there is a good case for tourism operators to consider selling themselves to people whose first langauge is not English. Site visitors would be impressed and more likely to take up the products/services offered.
Assuming the entire world understands English is not true and probably impolite.
Please contact us if you would like more information about making your site multilingual.
Get found! - we create search engine friendly sites that assist your search marketing. To briefly thumbnail this extensive subject, there are two main aspects to SEO. Firstly (the easy bit), on page optimization is the area where you have complete control. There is a way to construct pages in terms of hierarchy, meta tags and content fine tuning, which can have a direct affect on search ranking.
Secondly (the hard bit), having other web sites linking to your site. This can happen naturally when other site managers like your site and voluntarily link to it. It can happen by reciprocal linking, a trade between two sites. You can buy links, or offer inducements (a free something) in exchange for a link. Collecting links is time consuming hard work. You can do it yourself or pay someone to do it. Note that the text used in the link is very important. We can collect links for you, or advise you on how to do it yourself. Additional points:
Here's an image from a well known search engine relating to our javascript editor and validator. On 7 Dec 2011 it ranked #6 (out of 192 million matches) for the keywords "javascript validator". This search was on www.google.co.nz. We are quite proud of this result.
Contact us for a free no obligation consultation.
For a web site to be accessible to the billions of surfers out there, several things must happen. You need:
We can do all of this for you, or you can do all or some yourself. You can pay upfront or pay a monthly amount, we are very flexible!
This is the address of your website, the bit that usually looks like "www" dot "yourSiteName" dot "yourPreferredExtension". "yourSiteName" should be your business name if possible, there are good and bad ways to deal with this, we are happy to advise. "yourPreferredExtension" is the type of site and the country code, eg .org.uk indicates an organisation located in the United Kingdom. Again, there are pros and cons to various extensions, we are happy to advise. Sometimes the domain name you want is not available, so you have to compromise. Its important to think about this carefully. Once you have chosen a Domain name, it needs to be "registered". There are hundreds of domain name registrars in the world. Prices and support vary widely. Your Domain name is valuable and needs to be registered with a trustworthy registrar. You may feel more confident dealing with a local registrar rather than one on the other side of the world. There's no such thing as a free lunch, so be careful of the low price registrars. Having said that, there are low price registrars that are completely reliable, talk to us.
If you are a small company/organisation, you will probably start out on the web using "shared hosting". This is where the web server is shared amongst maybe 1000 clients. This may sound like too much for one web server, but it depends on hardware, software and loadings. Reliable hosting companies would never overload a server so that your site appeared unduly slow or unresponsive. Like Domain name registration, there is a wide variety of hosting pricing and quality. Hosting companies usually offer "reseller" plans which suit web developers who then claim they have their "own" hosting. Just be aware that hosting offered in a particular country may be "reselling" hosting domiciled in another country (typically the USA). You need to ask probing questions to avoid being taken advantage of. If you have too much traffic for shared hosting, you can use semi-dedicated (or virtual private server) hosting or have your own web server. This can be housed at a web hosting company (telehousing) and controlled remotely, or you can have your web server physically on your own premises connected to the internet. If you run your own server, you will need advice on security and how to have minimum outages, we all expect 100% uptime!
Usually, a new site is developed on a local computer and moved to the web server when it is time to "go live". This involves transferring files using ftp (file transfer protocol), setting up robots.txt and maybe .htaccess and if necessary loading database tables.
You can submit your site to search engines or have another site that is already being spidered link to your site. For google, we believe the best way is to submit a google sitemap. If you are not too comfortable with this sort of thing, we can do it for you, just ask.
Web 2.0 is at term coined to describe the "second generation" of web sites. Although regarded as hype by some commentators, we agree with the general thrust of Web 2.0. Web sites are becoming more sophisticated, and to be competitive, a site needs to engage the visitor. This means a dynamic site with features such as polls, surveys, newsletters, and a discussion forum. It is also common now for the owner to maintain a "blog", a web log or diary. Briefly, Web 2.0 means:
For example, Amazon allows their visitors to write book reviews, which they publish. These reviews may be highly critical, which you may think would hurt their sales. But Amazon is doing more business because they are seen as a more trustworthy company. Amazon has harnessed the book buying community to increase their business in an innovative way.
We think adhering to standards is a good idea. Standards exist in many aspects of life, usually to ensure safety and minimum quality. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) provides online validators where any site's markup may be checked. Rolls-Royce is a brand name that oozes quality, they produce luxury cars and ultra-reliable jet engines. This was the W3C's verdict on the Rolls-Royce web site on 7 Dec 2011.
Now this looks worse than it actually is, often fixing the first error eliminates many following errors. Many well known sites produce hundreds of errors. Does it matter, they seem to work OK and appear well ranked in search engine results?
Relating cause and effect regardng things on the internet is notoriously difficult, but we believe if all other factors are equal, then standards compliant sites rank better than non-compliant ones. This is our validation on 24 December 2007. Yay!
In December 2011 this site was upgraded to use html5. Currently, the W3C validator finds errors with most html5 sites. Checking by using other validators confirms that our site is valid html5.
We do contract software development, using object oriented design and programming where possible.
For dynamic web sites, we are familiar with Javascript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the jQuery library, the Drupal Content Management Framework, Wordpress, Concrete5, PHP and MySQL.
Contact us for a free no obligation chat about your software requirements.
Offshore development welcomed. Our low hourly rate, the weak NZ$ and our "English as first language culture", means we are an economic and "easy to communicate with" option you should consider. Although India offers incredibly cheap software development, the difficulty in communicating your requirements can be overwhelming.
Remember the old saying:- "Of course it is foolish to pay too much, but it may be unwise to pay too little!"
We are familiar with the Drupal CMS (Content Management System) and offer competitive Drupal developer consultancy. Drupal is an extremely flexible CMS, that we can quickly tailor to your requirements. We configure the site, enable and configure approriate modules and modify themeing to suit. We use CCK and views extensively for structured content.
Because it is such a flexible system, it often seems complicated when first encountered. There is a learning curve for newcomers.
With our years of experience, we can efficiently deploy a Drupal site giving you a "state of the art" CMS.
Additionally the Drupal open source project offers -
We are active on the Drupal forums, assisting where we can. As early adopters, our drupal.org user id is 28,nnn and dates back to 2005. A new user today gets a user id above 1,600,000.
This portfolio is small because we mostly build sites as contractors for web designers.
Sites we have developed:
|Food Safety Works Wellington New Zealand
|Touring New Zealand
(Drupal module for deal finder, not the front end design)
|DrLife UK (Drupal)
|ScrypTik Javascript editor
While being involved with web sites, we have come across several situations that you should be wary of.
We find these books incredibly useful.
Purple Oar Software is Paul Roper, previously a tutor at a provincial tertiary Institute of Technology, who is available to provide Information Technology consultancy. I work closely with other independent peers (such as copywriters and graphic artists) as required. The use of "we" throughout this web site means appropriate associates and myself. I have taught a range of Information Technology subjects at Diploma and Degree level and have a particular interest in web site development. Recently I have delivered dynamic web development courses in China.
Website development requires many skills such as:
Purple Oar Software is expanding through recommendations from satisfied clients. I am available on mobile phone and email virtually 24/7 to provide client support. A Javascript authoring tool developed and sold by Purple Oar Software has its own website. This site operates in a niche market selling a product used by web developers worldwide. ScrypTik has sold in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, India, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and New Zealand. Sole traders through to large corporates such as IBM, Bellsouth and The Bank of Ireland use it.
This acceptance of ScrypTik is testimony to our technical competence, however the most significant factor with the ScrypTik web site is how we rank highly in search engines (particularly Google) for a range of key phrases. These search engine optimisation skills honed by Purple Oar Software in developing this site, are applied to all client sites. Note, we have never bought advertising or links for ScrypTik. We sell advertising using the Google Adsense program on the site, and Google pay us.

What is dangerous riding behind the wagon
The most common argument in favor of this way of driving is the fuel economy.
Many motorists, especially beginners, when driving on the highway prefer to settle in the tail of the trucks. The most common argument in favor of this way of driving is the fuel economy. Is it all simply and clearly?
Undoubtedly, this method of transportation has other advantages: for example, the driver of the car, "stuck" to the back of the truck in an unfamiliar area, has the ability to slip through a police post unnoticed. In addition, most of the truckers, thanks to contacts with colleagues, always aware of all associated ambushes and know in advance where to slow down. So go in peace, following the "big brother", not in a hurry, and not thinking about anything.
And fuel really consumed less as the car on the tail of the wagon is facing less resistance to the oncoming air stream moving into the vacuum zone. But here's the RUB — for best results have come close to the rear bumper of the Peterbilt at the minimum distance, which is contrary to the requirements of the traffic rules on the observance of a safe distance. "Catch up" leading to such conditions a piece of cake, and the desire to save may result in unforeseen costs.
Good reasons why you should not breathe in the back of the truck quite a lot. For example, the impressive dimensions of the trucks limit the visibility from the front — you can't see where you're going, which can lead to serious problems.
Don't forget that one of the main conditions for trouble-free driving, adequate forecasting of the traffic situation. While following the truck, you can not in time to react to a suddenly appearing from under the truck a hole or a bump. Even scarier, if from the bottom of the wagon "draw" any large foreign object. Because, as a rule, the ground clearance of this car is much more than the average car. The truck driver will miss the obstacle between the wheels, and you will not make the desired maneuver and is likely to RAID the bottom of a rock, piece of log or a lost item. Another problem is the scratches on the paint coating of your cars that appear from small pebbles flying from the wheels of the truck in large numbers. In rainy weather it is also the rapid flow of water and dirt, impairing visibility. A serious danger is the fact that not all drivers exactly follow the rules of safety in the carriage of cargo in the open back. So after over loaded KAMAZ, you are absolutely not immune from bricks, boards and other materials inadvertently falling out of the truck. Often trucks are smoked, so be ready, pastrevys for them to enjoy the pleasures of the exhaust mist. But if loaded with a trailer crawling up the hill at a snail's pace, you will have to slow down to a minimum and patience. In the end, bristling at the dirty bumper of the van or truck and do not see the prospect of picturesque landscapes — it is pointless from an aesthetic point of view. So what is the best truck to overtake, but while respecting the rules of the road and all necessary precautions.

ReviewsReview: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2Reviews - RSS 2.0
Released in 2005, the original Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved could be considered a proficiency test in game playing skills, challenging players with the very essence of high-end gaming. At its core, Geometry Wars is a manic, dual-stick shooter that favors the quick and the coordinated, making short work of those with low response mechanisms. It also confronts players with their ability to overcome an epileptic fit (as cautioned in game manuals everywhere), bombarding them with more colors than a Norwegian laser rave.
As such, your Geometry Wars score may very well be a direct reflection of how proficient you are in your favorite hobby. That said, you'll be thrilled to hear that its sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, is much more accessible.
No longer content with simply dumping you into the middle of a colorful, geometric nightmare, the developers at Bizarre Creations have expanded upon the original formula, streamlining and implementing the best elements from their previous efforts while tossing in a few new ideas as well. The result is a game broken into six distinct gametypes that are carefully doled out over the course of about an hour's worth of play. The progressive nature of GW2 quickly becomes one of its most compelling elements, easing newcomers into the fold while teaching all the elements of the game within a brief, entertaining space of time.
The core of the experience has been greatly improved for long-time fans as well, particularly the skilled. Small, collectible dots called "Geoms" have returned from the Nintendo-only Geometry Wars: Galaxies and are here to serve two purposes: to raise your score multiplier and in turn, increase the difficulty. Essentially, the faster you destroy enemies, the more quickly you can get to the good stuff, eliminating the slow burn of starting over anew, waiting until you hit your first million points for things to get interesting again, as was the case in the original Geometry Wars. Other changes under the hood include keeping your score multiplier upon death, a new spawning method that makes it much less likely for fresh enemies to appear on your ship (killing you instantly, I might add) and of course, brand new shapes to throw fits over.
Your tour of the grid begins with Deadline, which couldn't possibly be more of a riff of last year's Pac-Man Championship Edition unless it were to change your ship into the ghost-devouring beast himself. With three minutes and infinite lives to rack up the highest score possible, Deadline represents both a teaching environment to new players and the ultimate torture test for Geometry Wars veterans. This bite sized version of the classic gameplay sounds brilliant on paper -- and it is -- until these three minutes become a mobius strip of high scores and curse words that leads long into the night.

America's Top 10 Fall Foliage Trips
Take a Road Trip and Enjoy the Fall Beauty
Thinking about taking a scenic road trip to see some fall colors? TripAdvisor surveyed more than 2,300 travelers to identify the most scenic places to see fall foliage. From mountain peaks to seaside ports, these are some breathtaking destinations.
1. Auburn Awakening: Asheville, North Carolina
Nestled in the foothills region of western North Carolina, Asheville is a spectacular location for leaf-peeping. Travelers can enjoy the beautiful views by peddling through the Appalachian Mountains on one of many biking trails, or hopping in the car for a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. One TripAdvisor traveler said, "We stopped multiple times for the breathtaking views. We will be going there again." Peak foliage-viewing is from mid to late October.
2. Mass Appeal: Boston, Massachusetts
Travelers visiting Boston this fall can stroll along the Charles River, enjoy a ride on the Swan Boats, or simply relax in the Public Garden for a glimpse of autumnal color. Lush foliage, sprawling grass, and sounds of nature in these serene spots allow travelers to forget they are in the midst of a bustling city. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "One must always stroll through the Public Garden while in Boston. The city serves as a backdrop to the tranquil scenery of the park." Peak foliage-viewing is from late September through the middle of October.
3. Peak Views: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Leaf enthusiasts visiting Gatlinburg can enjoy the city's small-town charm in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. With over 600 miles of hiking trails, there is plenty of room for exploration, including the Newfound Gap Road 1,400 feet above sea level from which travelers can observe a brilliant tapestry of foliage. As one TripAdvisor traveler noted, "There are incredible views and the road is a winding fun time." Peak foliage-viewing is from mid-October to early November.
4. Champlain Wishes: Burlington, Vermont
A short walk from Church Street Marketplace lies Waterfront Park, where travelers can enjoy a stroll along the shores of Lake Champlain and become lost in the reflection of golden leaves with the mountains in the distance. As one TripAdvisor traveler noted, "This is a must-see for any visitor to Burlington – it was made for relaxation." Peak foliage-viewing is from the middle of September through the middle of October.
5. A Show in Stowe: Stowe, Vermont
It is not surprising that Stowe, sparkling with shades of orange, gold, and crimson, calls itself, "Fall's Color Capitol." View the brilliant display of leaves from the comfort of a car while driving the scenic Mount Mansfield Auto Toll Road. One TripAdvisor traveler said, "When you get to the top the view is glorious. You feel that you are on the top of the world." Peak foliage-viewing is from the middle of September through the middle of October.
6. Total Tranquility: Traverse City, Michigan
Visitors can enjoy the crisp fall air with Traverse City's warming foliage and venture down Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for seven picturesque miles of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "Every time I visit the area, I always go. There are multiple look-outs, some of the stops involve a little walking on boardwalks." Peak foliage-viewing is from mid-September through October.
7. Open Door: Door County, Wisconsin
Whether travelers are up for hiking, biking, or relaxing on a beach, nearby Peninsula State Park has it all. Spanning nearly 4,000 acres, travelers will be sure to get their fill of stunning foliage. One TripAdvisor traveler said, "It's a great park you HAVE to visit if you are in Door County." Peak foliage-viewing is from late September through November.
8. Placid and Pristine: Portland, Maine
Travelers can view exceptional foliage throughout Portland, as well as visit exquisite boutiques within the Old Port District, watch fishermen as they return with a fresh catch, or head over to Portland Head Light. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "A trip to Maine would not be complete without stopping at this treasured landmark. It is truly an inspiring sight." Peak foliage-viewing is from mid-September through October.
9. Mountain Magic: North Conway, New Hampshire
Buried within the White Mountains National Forest lies the Kancamagus Highway, and, with more than 26 miles of roadway to meander, leaf-peepers will be captivated by the stunning blaze of color. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "Fabulous! Words can't describe adequately!" Peak foliage-viewing is from late September to mid-October.
10. Awesome Acadia: Bar Harbor, Maine
Travelers can experience the dazzling hues of fall while driving along the 40-mile stretch of the Acadia Byway and stopping to enjoy the rocky coastlines, crisp foliage and evergreens at Acadia National Park. One TripAdvisor traveler commented, "From the earth to the sky, from the ocean to the forests, from the boats to the wildlife and sea life, from sunrise to sunset, it's a magical place with very friendly locals." Peak foliage-viewing is from mid-September to mid-October.
"A recent TripAdvisor survey revealed that viewing fall foliage is a favorite activity for 43 percent of American travelers," said Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor. "Leaf-peeping is an exciting and affordable way for travelers to enjoy the great outdoors and some of the spectacular scenery that is unique to the U.S."

Altitude Shift Abseil Challenge: Go Over the Edge to Support Foster Families - Anglicare Victoria
Anglicare Victoria is searching for 300 courageous adventure seekers to abseil down a Melbourne skyscraper to raise funds for children in foster care.
Altitude Shift, on Thursday 30 April, Friday 1 and Saturday 2 May, gives people the chance to test their nerve on St James building in Bourke St, while raising funds for Victorian foster children.
The event is one of the most adventurous ways in which people can help a child in need. Altitude Shift will take you out of your comfort zone.
All money raised will go towards programs that create positive, lasting change in the lives of Victoria's most vulnerable children.
Anglicare Victoria aims to raise at least $200,000 from the 'bucket list' experience.
Do whatever you can to help you raise money – if you think dressing up as Superman will work, then do it.
Altitude Shift is open to anyone over 16 (with parental permission under 18), regardless of shape, fitness or ability. It's being run in conjunction with Zenith Events, an adventure/ abseil company with a 100 per cent safety record. Qualified abseil professionals will be on-site and will prepare and guide each participant on the day.

Flexible work, remote positions, and telecommuting arrangements are proliferating across industries, but according to FlexJobs, five job categories in particular are experiencing particularly quick growth in terms of flex work:
- Government and Politics
- Engineering
- Project Management
- Communications
- Travel and Hospitality
According to FlexJobs' analysis, each of these categories saw more than 50 percent growth in the number of flexible job listings between July 2015 and June 2016.
Brie Reynolds, senior career specialist at FlexJobs, says that these five categories are "all career fields where the work being done really lends itself to flexible work options."
"A lot of the work being done in jobs in government, project management, engineering, communications, and travel/hospitality is done with remote-friendly technology — over phone, email, and online," Reynolds adds.
While companies in these categories have been utilizing flexible work options for years, Reynolds notes that the U.S. government has been particularly enthusiastic in championing flexible work.
"The federal government has made a big push to encourage its staffers to telecommute more often, and I think we're seeing that come through in its hiring practices as well," Reynolds says.
And it doesn't look like the flexible work boom in these categories will slow down any time soon.
"I think the growth will continue because these career fields are such a good match for flexible work options," Renyolds says. "As flexible work hits the mainstream with 80 percent of companies offering it, these career fields are already well-positioned to expand further."
FlexJobs, which has been monitoring the world of flexible work for years now, wasn't terribly surprised by the results of this analysis, though Reynolds does say that at least one of the job categories that made this list was slightly unexpected.
"One that was a bit surprising was travel and hospitality, but as the economy continues to strengthen and more people are able to take trips (both for leisure and for business travel), it does make sense that this area is growing," Reynolds says. "In corporate travel, we especially see increased flexible work opportunities in support roles like travel counselor."
So, if 2016 is the year you decide to take the plunge into flexible work, you may want to start by looking for openings in one of these categories.

We have quite a number of plugin updates today!
The Save Core received an update to have added a 'Map Display Name' plugin parameter. Enabling this option will now display the display name for the map instead of the editor name when viewing the save menu.
The Battle Engine Core gets a rare bug fixed, but if it happened once, it can happen again. In the rare case where an action is given to a battler with a skill or item that doesn't exist, it will crash the game. This is now fixed. This seldom happens and can only be reproduced through very strange means, but that doesn't mean the bug shouldn't be taken care of. This ought to remove the bug.
The Buffs & States Core gets a small optimization update.
The Weapon Animation plugin gets a new loading system which loads numeric weapon sheets from the 'system' folder as the game's database is loaded. Previously, these sheets would load during the battle, but if the file size of the weapon sheet is good big, it'll appear at an incorrect size as it isn't loaded in time. Now, the system will load the weapon sheets (if not already loaded) during database initialization.
The Enemy Levels plugin gets a the Enemy Transform event now adjusted for stat changes when transforming into a different enemy. Previously, it would retain the base parameters for the previous enemy.
Picture Common Events got a few bugs fixed thanks to Splendith! These bugs include a bug for events that allow the player to move immediately after pressing the picture common event and a bug for 'HidePictureCommonEvents' and 'ShowPictureCommonEvents' plugin command that caused normal pictures to hide/show, too.
Plugin Updates as of Launch Date to 2016.12.11~

It should be obvious by now that I had a rather, shall we say, mixed up secular childhood.
In part, that was inevitable for a transplanted Yankee of Jewish heritage who was raised agnostic, but attended Unitarian churches in the Deep South, yet celebrated Christmas like the pseudo-goy I was.
This displacement was accentuated by the fact that my mother often seemed to raise me not by the parenting theories of Dr. Spock, but Mr. Spock…in the midst of pon farr amok time.
I was allowed to watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but not A Charlie Brown Christmas (though I just went over to my friend's house and watched it there). I did not become a Christian after my illicit viewing of this Christmas classic, bent to Christianity like Charlie's spindly tree under the weight of its star. Neither did I become a Southern Baptist after I attended Sunday school with my step-cousins, nor a Mormon when I went with my friend to her Mormon Temple.
My mother didn't object on either occasion because she understood that my interest was merely driven by curiosity about what they did on Sunday. She had done the same when she was a child.
And she didn't say anything when I played Joseph in a Girl Scout Christmas play, either—after all, the original was Jewish too. It's not like we practiced Judaism or celebrated the High Holy Days.
To her, as a doubter, the weak Judaism of her childhood seemed to hold no relevance. So, instead of exchanging presents on Hanukkah, we did it on Christmas. Since both were meaningless to her, why not?
As an atheist, I too have no use for the religion of my people. Still, I wish I had grown up with a stronger sense of Jewish culture and identity. Many secular Jews read from non-traditional Haggadahs celebrating the notion of freedom sans the erroneous Moses myth. Instead, I grew up feeling neither gefilte fish nor Christmas fowl.
For better or worse, I was left to work out this religious no man's land for myself. After I became an atheist in my mid-teens, I began to conceive an antipathy toward the ubiquity of Christmas. TV programs became awash in sap, while everywhere you turned, the same Christmas songs repeated in endless loops.
My attitude softened, and finally dissolved, when I began dating my boyfriend Keith. Christmas is as big a deal in his family as it is in so many other Christian families, even though Keith himself is an agnostic and his sister an atheist. I got sucked into the North Polar vortex. (I should point out that Keith isn't an agnostic because he hasn't made up his mind, as was the case with my mother before she became an atheist.)
At any rate, I suspect that many of my readers have their own complicated feelings about Christmas. So as an antidote to all the Christmas schmaltz, I will end this post with an excerpt from my first published short story.
Some satires hide powerful social indictments amid the laughs. This is not the case for "Santascam." It's about an FBI sting of Santa Claus, after an agent realizes that Santa couldn't be in all those malls at the same time. Among the allegations, Santa has been accused of taking bribes laid out by children on Christmas Eve, like lobbyists "donating" to congress.
It was the night of our bust, and all through the house, our recorders were whirring, taping the louse. The cameras were hidden from sight with great care, in hopes that the crook would be caught unaware. I glanced at my watch, and it said two o'clock. I listened intently as Claus picked the lock. Visions of indictments danced in our heads, as he broke his way into a house full of Feds. He burst through the door and turned on the light. And he looked quite disgusting, as he came into sight. His nose like a cherry; his breath like a beer. His clothes were unwashed, and his gait like a steer.
As he walked to the kitchen, the tension was great. Then he picked up a cookie and bit into the bait. With a chuckle, he poured the milk in the sink. And he trailed cookie crumbs, as he looked for a drink. He found him some whiskey and took a big slug. It spilled down his beard and onto the rug. With a curtain, he mopped up his face like an ape. Then he set down his sack, while he drank and he ate.
And when he was done, he took out the gift. He shoved it beneath the tree, with a shift. By the short‑hairs we had him; we told him to freeze. And he swore like a sailor, as he sank to his knees. "Run Donder, run Blitzen, run Prancer, it's through," cried Santa, but we were booking them too. We read him his rights and impounded the sleigh. His wrists were handcuffed, and we hauled him away.
But there is a cover-up by the powers-that-be and the charges are dropped. The story ends with the defiant Santa leaving prison.
And putting his finger inside of his nose, he gave us the moon while his rear‑end froze. He let out a belch, as he drove out of sight. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

The 24-7 Prayer movement has been praying continually since 1999, inspired by Zinzendorf and the Moravians. His Order of the Mustard Seed was finally relaunched by leaders of the 24-7 movement in 2005 as a tool for discipleship and a common Rule of Life for the growing network of Boiler Room communities associated with 24-7 Prayer.
The OMS is administered to this day by the 24-7 Prayer Charity (No. 1091413) and overseen by the 24-7 Communities Team.
There is a clear process, which involves a full year of preparation (October – September) in which prospective members are guided through a number of resources and exercises for personal reflection as well as an informal interview.
At the end of the preparatory year candidates, if accepted, may make their vows in a special service at the 24-7 Conference. Thereafter they may wear the OMS ring and attach the OMS moniker to their names.
The OMS is primarily a dispersed order which means that members outwork their vows in the context of local churches. However, there are exciting plans afoot to establish the very first residential OMS community where our Rule will provide the background for a common life and all members will be welcome to come stay!
Rules of Life should never be allowed to replace the simple Gospel because they are meant to be an expression and application of Christ's call to discipleship. One of the early names for Christianity was simply 'The Way', because this is not a doctrinal position so much as a way of life.
Saint Francis of Assisi was one of the greatest saints ever given to the church whose Rule was originally just a set of bible verses. "I prefer you not talk to me about any other Rule," he said, "nor recommend any other ideal or manner of life than that which the Lord in his mercy has revealed and given to me. He told me I am to be a new kind of fool in this world." (St Francis of Assisi, Mirror of Perfection, 68)
Francis' 'Rule of the fool' in all its simplicity turned the world upside down. Having been commissioned by God to 'go repair my church which is falling into ruins' Francis simply obeyed for the rest of his life and, in the process, 'returned to the gospel with such force that it shook the entire world'.[1]
[1] Wallis, Jim in Wallis, Jim & Hollyday ed. Cloud of Witnesses, Orbis Books, New York, p.6
The rules of the original OMS say that it 'chooses to stay secret and work out of the public eye', and this seems to have been for two reasons: humility and unity. Firstly, humility: In Zinzendorf's day, there was status attached to membership of 'Knightly Orders' and the founders of the OMS wanted to avoid such ostentation. They even had a rule warning that if anyone sought to use their OMS membership for fame or personal advancement they would have to resign. Secondly, unity. The other reason for secrecy was that the OMS had an unusually diverse membership, including people from different branches of Christianity (the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury and the Catholic Archbishop of Paris were both members) and from nations which might be political or military opponents. To avoid controversy, it helped for members to keep their involvement private.
However, in 1738 some documents relating to the OMS came into the hands of Zinzendorf's opponents, who tried to use them to portray him as a secretive political agitator. To counter these claims, the full rules of the Order were simply made public in 1740. Thereafter the OMS continued in the open, presumably because secrecy had by then become more of a liability than an asset.
The 21st century expression of the OMS is completely transparent in its approach, and everything about the Order is published either in books or online.
No. There is no evidence to suggest that Zinzendorf himself was a Freemason or that the OMS had masonic links.
There seem to be 3 reasons why people speculate that this might be the case.
- We know of one original OMS member, General James Oglethorpe, who was involved in the Freemasons, although this was unrelated to his later membership of the OMS.
- There was a prominent 18th century German Freemason named 'Zinnendorf', and some people get confused by the similar names.
- Because the OMS was initially a secret order, people conclude (without any evidence) that it 'must' have been masonic in nature.
Masonic historians are normally keen to highlight historical figures who were members of their organisation, but they themselves acknowledge that Count Zinzendorf was not a freemason.

Alright, I have mixed feelings about this. You can speculate it is a prequel focusing on a teenage, black-haired Dante. You can theorize this is a reboot of the series, since the title is simply 'Devil May Cry' instead of Devil May Cry 5. You can even believe this isn't the real Dante at all. For better or for worse, what you cannot say is… this feels like a Devil May Cry game.
Given this is a teaser that has a lot of mystery and explains very little, we will see what is exactly going on here when Capcom releases more information in the future. What do you guys think?

Ambulance access fury as controversial £775m 'Cube' development gets the go-ahead
Robert Davis: 'I think the benefits are game-changing for this area'
12 December, 2016 — By Alina Polianskaya
How the Paddington 'Cube' could look after the scheme was approved by Westminster City Council on Tuesday night
A MAJOR new development set to transform a large part of Paddington has been given the green light despite "very significant concerns" about ambulance access to one of the capital's busiest NHS hospitals.
The £775million Paddington "Cube" project was approved by Westminster City Council on Tuesday night with developer Sellar and Great Western Developments offering to install a new access route to the A&E.
But yesterday Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust said the 11th-hour offer did not go far enough and "has not resolved" its issues about collisions and queueing and demanded "urgent clarification from the council".
It stated: "The planning decision has not resolved our very significant concerns about continued safe access for 'blue light' ambulances to St Mary's Hospital.
"It is vital, not least for the future viability of our major trauma unit, that this issue is now addressed properly, in partnership with the trust, London Ambulance Service and others with the necessary expertise. We are urgently seeking clarification from the council on the conditions for planning permission, some of which were raised for the first time at yesterday evening's planning committee meeting."
The Cube designs involved a major investment into the public realm, including a new ticket hall and entrance for the Bakerloo line station and a public piazza. It would also block vehicles in London Street.
At the meeting in City Hall, Hyde Park ward councillor Antonia Cox said: "The hospital talk of the limited visibility in the proposal, collisions, two blind 90-degree bends, a service bay with limited visibility and incidental queues of vehicles on the emergency access route."
If the original plans were accepted despite the warnings, she said "our residents will be entitled to ask us why we didn't listen".
Cllr Susie Burbridge said she felt the building was an "overdevelopment", adding, "I simply do not think it fits in."
She said she would like to see something that is "more of a Leonardo Da Vinci than a Tracey Emin".
But Robert Davis said the development was a "game-changer", adding that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" when it came to the design.
"I think the benefits are game-changing for this area. This area is not our proudest part of Westminster."
In a statement, developer Irvine Sellar said: "For the past year we have worked with Renzo Piano Building Workshop to balance the desires of the community, the constraints of the site and the need for commercial viability, to produce a scheme that will transform Paddington station's front door and the immediate area around it.
"Not only will we deliver a stunning 360,000 sq ft corporate HQ office building we will be creating a 21st-century transport interchange for Paddington that will dramatically improve the area's connectivity as well as hugely improving passenger and traffic congestion."

As the cameras clicked for Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong-un on Tuesday, I spoke with BBC outlets and talkRADIO about the contrast between Trump's reality TV show and North Korea's maneuvers to take advantage of the summit.
While Trump got his historic photographs, Pyongyang has already achieved international recognition — on a level of equality with the US — and has given up nothing around its nuclear weapons and long-range missile programs and kept "human rights" at bay.
Kim and his inner circle have also won the first major American concession: Trump announced after Kim's departure that the US is suspending "war games" (North Korea's term), the long-running joint military exercises with South Korea.
See also TrumpWatch, Day 508: Trump Gets His "Beautiful Photo" With Kim
Podcasts: Trump's Path from G6+1 Destruction to Photo with Kim
Listen to BBC Northampton
Trump gets his photo opportunity, but already North Korea is getting the concessions, even before the heavy-duty diplomacy that has to follow.
Listen to BBC West Midlands
We definitely have something historic, but a lot of this is being driven not by joined-up thinking over politics and the military situation. It's a combination of Trump's desire for a photo opportunity and North Korean calculations.
It's always a good thing to pursue diplomacy, but you need to prepare if you're going to have agreements that last.
Listen to BBC Stoke
What happens now is either that people get down to details or this will be in the hands of the whims of the President.
Listen to talkRADIO from 19:11 in 0930-1000 Segment
#RT @talkRADIO: Commentator: "Donald Trump's summit was like political Love Island. The question is: what substance do you have behind that?" Does the document signed by Trump and Kim Jong-un mean anything? Watch again ▼@JuliaHB1 | @ScottLucas_EA |… pic.twitter.com/mTtpfbf4tw
— Dennie Morris (@DennieMorris) June 12, 2018
Listen to BBC Hereford
International relations depends on predictability and reliability, and rDight now you're relying on the whims of this President and how he is feeling at any moment in time.
Listen to Professor David Dunn on BBC Radio Ulster
In an interview with BBC Ulster before the Trump-Kim appearance, David Dunn of the University of Birmingham explains why the Trump approach is a vague substitute for diplomacy and why North Korea has already "won".
Are we talking about all [nuclear] weapons or materials or facilities? Are we talking about these weapons being destroyed or deported? Are we talking about on-site inspections? Are we talking about getting rid of ballistic missiles? Are we talking about chemical weapons? Are we talking about stopping their errant behavior in the region? There's a whole range of questions that you can't get to in a 45-minute talk….
What Trump is doing is rewarding them by giving them status as a nuclear power, legitimizing them as worth talking to, taking them seriously. In doing so, Kim has won….no matter what he does, by avoiding American attack for the next two years.

Within seconds of his last-second 3-pointer's contact with the net, Christian Watford was swimming in an ocean of catharsis.
The Indiana junior forward's buzzer beater gave the Hoosiers a 73-72 win over No. 1 Kentucky, bringing enough of the 17,472 fans that packed Assembly Hall on Saturday on to Branch McCracken Court fill it from end to end. They stayed on the floor for more than 10 minutes dancing singing and generally bathing in the mayhem as Watford, senior guard Verdell Jones and others took it all in while standing on the scorers' table.
"I haven't felt anything like that," Watford said. "It's probably the most memorable moment of my life. It's the biggest shot definitely of my career."
It was the biggest and last of several big ones by Watford in the game. He finished with 20 points, knocking down four of the six 3-pointers he attempted. He also held Kentucky sophomore forward Terrence Jones, a preseason All-American, to just four points and three field goal attempts.
The Hoosiers went toe-to-toe with Kentucky throughout the game and took a 10-point lead on three different occasions early in the second half. However, the Wildcats rallied all the way tack to take the lead again 69-68 with two minutes to go.
Watford hit a layup to give the Hoosiers a 70-69 advantage with 1:03 to go, but Kentucky's Marquis Teague scored to make it 71-70 with 49 seconds left. The Hoosiers had the ball with 14 seconds to go and a chance to take the lead back, but sophomore guard Victor Oladipo lost the ball trying to drive in from the right wing and Kentucky sophomore guard Doron Lamb was fouled with five seconds left.
Lamb only made one of two free throws, however, and the Hoosiers put the ball in senior guard Verdell Jones's hands on the last play. He drove it the length of the court looking for a lane, but then kicked it back out to Watford for the game-winning three.
"We drew up a play, coach called a timeout, called "Cowboy" for me to get the ball," Jones said. "We knew they were probably going to foul, but we just wanted to make a play. We had Jordy out there and Victor and we were trying to get a basket. The plan was to get a basket and get a two and go to overtime. Big time players make big-time plays and C-Wat did. When I got the ball I knew he was going to be sprinting down because he was taking the ball out. He was sprinting behind and he was trailing me. I just drove it and he was like, 'V, V.' I just turned around and passed it to him and the rest was history."
Oladipo finished with 13 points. Freshman forward Cody Zeller and junior guard Jordan Hulls scored 11 each. Sophomore forward Will Sheehey had 10 and Jones had eight and three assists, including the game-winner.
It was Indiana's first win over the No. 1 ranked team since the Hoosiers beat Duke in the 2002 NCAA Tournament. It's the first win over the No. 1 ranked team since the Hoosiers beat Michigan State in 2001 on Kirk Haston's last-second jumper.
"This is one of the most shared moments that I've ever been a part of," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "Maybe the most shared moment, where you want to share it with everybody that's been a part of this program. … This is the epitome of what Hoosier Nation is all about."

Dominica Hosts Three Day Workshop on Sustainable Energy and Climate Change
Stakeholders within the Ministry of Trade, Energy and Employment, along with Health and Environment, National Security and Technology are among others gathered at the State House to participate in a three day workshop on sustainable energy and climate change.
The national workshop is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency with support from the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, CARICOM and Small Islands Developing States (SIDS DOCK).
It is being held under the theme, 'Building resilience to climate change in islands through the energy sector: north-south cooperation for sustainable energy development in island states.'
The Hon. Prime Minister, Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit is the President of the United Nations registered organization SIDS DOCK.
In his address at the opening ceremony of the workshop, the Hon Prime Minister stated that in order for small island developing states to receive more investments, the high cost of energy must be addressed.
"We have to address the foreign exchange that has to leave our countries to pay for the fossil fuel which comes to our country because it is a huge cost. These are huge amounts of money that we have to export to other countries. This money could remain in our system to build our economy; for us to receive the 10% of growth which we all yearn for we have to address the issue of the cost of energy."
The Dominica leader disclosed some of the areas Dominica would be receiving assistance from the Swedish Energy Agency.
"One is the gas to the Abattoir and the waste to energy at the Abattoir. The second project has to do with the landfill. We will also be having a waste to energy project at the landfill. The final project has to do with a pig farm located in La Plaine, and on that project also we will be focusing on waste to energy. All these projects will help to mitigate against the negative impact on the environment," the Prime Minister said.
Participants of the workshop will visit the three sites this week.
Chair of SIDS DOCK, His Excellency Ambassador Dr Vince Henderson, says the workshop will focus on how SIDS can deploy sustainable energy technologies that will help in the fight against climate change.
"On one hand it will help us to reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels, leaving more resources for us to invest in building climate change resilience. It will also give us smart technology that can help us to deal with consumption and production in a way that is more sustainable so that we can reduce the impact on the environment. We have been pursuing development of geothermal energy for several years, which shows we are closer today than we were 15 years ago but there is still some work to be done."
Government has already developed policies to encourage the use of renewable energy technologies and to encourage energy efficiency.
Government has demonstrated leadership by the installing energy saving lamps as well as the use of solar systems in a few areas.
The ambassador also focused on waste to energy.
"We still believe that there will be an opportunity to recycle inorganic waste to reduce the pressure on our landfill and at the same time allow some economic benefits from that activity. This is why SIDS DOCK main initiative is concentrating on waste to energy. Last year we met in Grenada and we developed a Caribbean approach to waste to energy development project and in Dominica we have already identified a few."
On Wednesday the group will convene to discuss potential project ideas linking the energy sector to agriculture, waste, tourism and freshwater.

Dear Human,
Many feelings you have are so fleeting you don't consciously know you've felt them. But you did, and your mind remembers. It has found a way to swiftly move past that which might cause you spiritual and emotional disturbances. And by so doing, it has decreased the awe of your life experience. By sweeping sad or embarrassing memories and uncomfortable revelations about yourself under the rug of your thoughts and into the depth of your subconscious, your mind creates paths that lead you away from your own sacred wholeness. In your haste to get your day finished with the least amount of unwelcomed emotional interruption, opportunities to radically experience how you are wonderfully and beautifully formed are missed.
In your innate desire to be connected to life, you disconnect from the very things that can make you whole, those tender learning moments. Thankfully the creative intelligence of existence knows the complexity of having a human experience as a spiritual being.
Every life experience, every thought, whether appropriate or not, and every unsolicited emotion you have, is a part of your miraculous design. In you there resides a spark that consistently reminds you to remember what you have forgotten about the wonder of your whole being. Your personal life blueprint has been carefully drawn up. Your intrinsic need to re-enter that place of acceptance and unit of love in a holistic and purposed way is coursing through your veins just as much as is the blood of your human life.
And all that is and was and will be, is unfolding to help make remembering who you really are possible. Your deepest desire to experience unconditional, invisible, and yet the very tangible force of love, is exactly what the universe wants for you. And while the methods designed to facilitate the recollection of what you already know aren't always painless, they are always, always, perfect. Opening your mind and heart to fully let in and appreciate every moment of life, the ups and downs and everything in between, is the key to getting you back to your original, mystical, and magnificent design.
Your life as an earthling is just a skip of a stone that is gliding across eternities existence. It is a ping upon your consciousness, meant to nudge your astonishing and complete essence to awaken from the quite spell that time has cast upon your remembering.
You are here, aware of this moment, so that you might once again enter into the collective awareness of the holy and divine space of love. For above all that is ever experienced, love is what makes all of humanity know that it is invisibly, yet tangibly one.
Your Fellow Traveler –

Trump fans assaulted outside San Jose rally sue city
Fourteen people who say they were attacked by anti-Donald Trump protesters outside the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's rally in San Jose last month sued the city Thursday, claiming police officers did nothing as the Trump fans were punched, spit upon and beaten with rocks.
The suit filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose claims that Mayor Sam Liccardo, Police Chief Eddie Garcia and more than 40 protesters deprived rally attendees of their rights to free speech and assembly through assault, intimidation and harassment. It claims that the officials held back the city's police force as violence broke out before and after the June 2 rally because they disagree with Trump's political views.
The suit depicts a violent mob that police officers allowed to protest adjacent to the San Jose McEnery Convention Center's entrance. It was filed on behalf of the plaintiffs by Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney and vice chair of the California Republican Party, and seeks class-action status on behalf of others who attended the rally.
"No citizen should have to feel that he is risking life and limb to attend a political event, or feel that his or her rights are somehow less important just because they happen to be different than those of the mayor and/or the chief of police," Dhillon said in a statement.
Hit by bag of rocks
The suit says one plaintiff, Juan Hernandez of Santa Clara, suffered a broken nose when an anti-Trump protester punched him. Another plaintiff, Andrew Zambetti of Walnut Creek, was hit in the head with a bag of rocks, and plaintiff Rachel Casey of Loxahatchee, Fla., was "attacked by a mob of protesters, who threw eggs, a tomato (and) a bottle of water" and spit on her, the suit says.
Barbara Arigoni, a 71-year-old plaintiff who lives in San Jose, was attacked by three protesters who pulled her hair and broke her glasses, according to the suit.
"Instead of stopping the attacks ... several (police) officers and other city personnel, including members of the San Jose Fire Department, refused to respond to pleas for help from several of the Trump supporters," the suit says. "Several officers told Trump supporters that the police were not permitted to provide assistance to those trying to return to their vehicles and leave the area."
The lawsuit seeks unspecified punitive damages and an order that the city protect people attending future political rallies in San Jose.
City Attorney Richard Doyle said Thursday that he couldn't comment on specific allegations because his office hadn't been served with the lawsuit. But he said there was no basis for the accusation that city employees' political views influenced their response to the demonstration.
"From what I know, the police did everything they could," Doyle said. "They were very respectful to everyone's First Amendment rights."
On social media after the rally, Trump accused the mayor of doing "a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people." He also called the protesters "thugs" and "illegals."
Garcia denounced the violence the day after the rally and assigned a team of investigators to identify alleged attackers through photos and videos taken at the event. At a news conference June 3, the chief called protesters' actions "reprehensible, completely unacceptable and unrepresentative of our democracy."
Mayor backs Clinton
Liccardo, a Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, similarly condemned the violence in a statement that day but also said the Trump campaign bore some responsibility for the divisive climate.
"It is regrettable that this has become a pattern for cities hosting Mr. Trump across the nation," the mayor said.
On Thursday, he called the claim that he told police not to intervene "utterly false. In fact, I have no authority to issue such an order."
Liccardo said police have arrested 20 people on suspicion of taking part in the violence, and added, "We will do everything necessary to support the successful prosecution of the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law."

Parents, please take a moment to mark your calendars. The following are important dates that you do not want to miss:
Cozy Headphones – Super comfortable and soft fleece headbands
We are excited to share that, after three years in the planning stages, our Transitions+ Garden has finally been created with the help of our T+ Secondary students. We feel so blessed we were finally able to make it happen. Thank you, First Baptist Church of Orlando for allowing us the use of the space. The students planted onions, peppers, and tomatoes and have been very diligent about keeping them watered. We are hopeful that this is just the start to one of many life skill activities to help our students in this program. Get ready for some homemade pizza down the road! God is good!
"Language can be very abstract and difficult for my students to grasp. I love using the thinking maps, because they give visual structure to words and ideas. Not only do the maps give context, but they give the students a cooperative language experience as we create them together. All of this helps my students internalize word meanings and concepts better than they have before."
Heidi Kovie
Transitions + Secondary Teacher
As I think about what some of the important things we do at The First Hope, the thing that comes to mind first is building students up in the Lord and teaching them about all his creation. The next important thing is about teaching our students other skills like math and reading. I love that our unique program helps students to learn in a smaller ratio (mostly 1:2, except T+ Secondary is 1:4), giving them more attention with all the teachers, paras, therapists, and PE. Our staff use so many manipulatives, sensory, and other things to help them excel and grow. I get the advantage to see this first hand every single day. Thank you teachers and staff for what you do and give each and every day. It is noticed and we parents are so grateful and thankful for you!

For Art Jacobs, creation is an immersive 'soul experience'
Thu., April 12, 2012
Art Jacobs' name suits him. From the depths of his soul, he is an artist.
It began at the age of 16 when, without formal training, he created portraits of Benjamin Banneker and Phillis Wheatley. They were displayed at a banquet in honor of Black History Month in Dayton, Ohio, and were well-received.
"I've been doing portraits ever since," Jacobs said. "It's a personal venture. I enjoy creating. It's a part of me." To him, art is just another outlet to mirror who he is as a human being.
Jacobs was born into a military family. They traveled often and finally settled in Delaware. Jacobs joined the Air Force after high school. During his 24 years of service he was stationed in Turkey, California, Germany, North Dakota and then Fairchild in 1998. He retired in 2004 and now works as an operation supervisor at an addiction treatment center. All the while, he fine-tuned his portraiture skills.
Over the past 25 years, he has drawn more than 50 commissioned portraits. In Spokane, his charcoal portraits of legendary jazz musicians were featured at the now-defunct Ella's Supper Club. In 2008, he was commissioned to complete a portrait of contralto singer Marian Anderson, who performed at the Fox in 1941, for permanent display at the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox. He has taught at the Corbin Art Center, at Spokane Community College's IEL Seniors Program, at Michaels Arts and Crafts in Spokane Valley, at the Community Center at Fairchild Air Force Base, and privately.
Working in pencil, pastel and charcoal, Jacobs' portraits contain depth, personality and elegance.
"It has been said that between 85 to 93 percent of communication is nonverbal. If that is the case, a well-done portrait can speak volumes," he said.
The creative process, to Jacobs, is exhilarating, enchanting, satiating and challenging. It demands inspiration, discipline and the ability to problem-solve. And immersion.
"I recall once drawing late into the evening. Not realizing what time it was, I saw a light reflecting off a wall that caught the corner of my eye and I thought, 'What kind of light is shining that bright this late in the evening?' " Turns out, it was the sun rising, he added, "Time passes ever so swiftly during the creative process."
When Jacobs creates, it involves his total being. "It is a soul experience," he said. "It can leave me exhausted yet with a sense of accomplishment."
For a long time, it has been Jacobs' dream to share his passion with others. When he turned 50 last month, a gift to himself as well as to others was the opening of the West Plains Art Center.
Happenings at the center include art exhibits and classes like Family Craft Night on Saturdays beginning on May 5, basic drawing skills and still life drawing classes beginning on April 28, and beginning drawing for youth, also beginning on April 28.

I was reading about tokamaks, for usage in fusion, and it seems that the positive ions circle in one way in the toakmak, while the negative circles in another. That would make a lot of sense, as it would explain how the two of them are attracted by the center, even having opposite charges (using Lorentz laws, the negative charge would 'cancel' with the opposite velocity, and the force would be the same). That would also explain why you can't use a simple electrical field to keep the plasma still in a sphere (you would only be able to keep the positive part or the negative, not both). Is this correct? And if it is, then what makes the plasma move that way? There seem to be no explanation about that anywhere.
Since a toroidal field is curved and decreases in strength moving away from the axis of rotation, the ions and the electrons move parallel to the axis, but in opposite directions.

In SR Op-Ed, McCrory: Build Regional Jail
"Both Spokane County and Kootenai County experience jail overcrowding and want to build bigger jails. Spokane County's could cost from $81 million to $410 million while Kootenai County estimates its jail expansion might cost as much as $50 million. State, local and tribal leaders from Idaho and Washington and from Kootenai and Spokane counties should discuss creating a regional criminal justice center near the Idaho- Washington border. A regional center with facilities for public safety training, state correctional programs, a combined post-conviction jail, emergency management and community education is ripe for consideration."
For the rest of Bill McCrory's (Whitecaps) comment on a regional corrections facility, click here.
Hat Tip: JBelle, for drawing this to my attention (I knew it was in the works, but didn't know it had been published today. BTW, it looks like HBO commenters are starting to write the print edition editorial page, too.)

Is a Top Hat Over the Top?
Worn by magicians, hotel doormen, orphans ("Oliver") and the all-out bonkers (Willy Wonka, the Mad Hatter), the top hat brims with connotations-and can make an excellent party accessory. Steve Garbarino has details on The News Hub.

This is an incredible invention.

This is an incredible invention.
[via Devour]
I just downloaded and used a new iPhone app called Cardiio that measures your heart rate with the front camera of your iPhone.
Every time your heart beats, more blood is pumped into your face. This slight increase in blood volume causes more light to be absorbed, and hence less light is reflected from your face. Using sophisticated software, your iPhone's front camera can track these tiny changes in reflected light that are not visible to the human eye and calculate your heart beat!
It works amazingly well, keeps track of your various measurements over time and shows you how you're doing relative to others your age.
This is really incredible and I can't wait to use it on a hike to see what my heart rate is on a steep climb.
