Everybody knows the brilliant ballet with music by Tchaikovsky, but the story on which this work was based has not had the same luck, and it's a shame, because in this wonderful book it can be found the fantastic vein that characterized the tales of Hoffmann.

Parsnips? What the what? I don't know if I have ever had a parsnip or even heard of them! I am more of a middle of the road peas and corn kinda veggie girl, so yeah, parsnips aren't on my radar! But now that I am making baby boy's baby food, I wanted to be able to give him a wide variety of food, in the hopes (fingers crossed) that he will grow up to have no fear of new foods. Soooo enter the parsnip! Baby boy also seems to be eating a lot of orange/yellow veggies (squash, carrots, sweet potatoes), that I wanted to try a different color (weird I know). If you have been in the "cave of no parsnips" along with me, they are basically like a carrot in that they are a root veggie, but have a more radish-y taste. Let's check it out shall we?
Pureeing Parsnips for baby food:
- Scrub & peel the parsnips. Before you get to this step, when at the grocery store pick out parsnips that don't have many little hairs on them or growth on the top, much like picking out fresh carrots. At home, scrub and peel the parsnips, trying to get all of the skin off of it.
- Chop parsnips in small pieces. If steaming make sure to chop the parsnips pretty small so that they will cook all the way through. This makes for easier pureeing.
- Steam the parsnips. Because I didn't chop them up small enough I actually had to do a couple steaming cycles so that the middle of the coin size pieces were cooked enough. So chop, chop, chop! Like I have said before…I love me some Beaba Babycook!
- Puree them up! After steaming add the left over water back into the puree to achieve a smooth consistency. I also had to add in some breast milk. Remember to add in FRESH breast milk and not thawed milk, if you are going to freeze the puree. I did not do this by mistake yesterday when making sweet potatoes, and grrrr…I had to dump it all! Click here for my homemade baby food safety tips.
- Freeze them. Scoop the puree into the handy dandy baby food freezer trays, and pop them in the freezer.
Sounds easy! The tricky part will be getting baby boy to LIKE parsnips! He did a lot of tongue moving, serious looks, and coughing when trying them for the first time. BUT it could take up to a couple weeks for a baby to accept a new food, so I will not give up! But honestly, if he doesn't like them, fine, because they were a bit "ehhhhh" for me….! To keep you up to date (I know you don't want to be in the dark!), check out my schedules page to see how much food we are giving him at each meal.
And new update: On our second attempt baby boy really liked the parsnips mixed with sweet potatotes…yummy!
Up next on the menu: Butternut Squash!

Celebration FAIL: Mark Gorman (Maccabi Ahi Nazrat) vs Ashdod
Last weekend in Israel, former Aston Villa manager John Gregory watched as his struggling side Maccabi Ahi Nazrat pick up a massive three points in their bid to beat the drop when they edged sixth-placed Ashdod 1-nil.
The winner came late in the day. Gregory threw on striker Yaniv Luzan in the 79th minute and within three minutes of his introduction Luzan made his presence tell sliding home the only goal for second-bottom Nazrat.
After scoring Luzan immediately ran over to celebrate with his fans, and that's when the comedy moment played out. With Luzan lapping up the applause, left-back Mark Gorman came steaming in to try and join in the fun and games. Euphoric, Gorman launched himself Superman style towards Luzan, with the clear intention that the goalscorer would catch him mid-flight.
Sadly the catch never materialised, and Gorman was left to fall flat on his face and look like a numpty.
The celebration fail can be seen here.

This slideshow is of pictures taken every day whilst the garden was being built- from September 25th when it was a green-field site, to 8th October when the Judges came round. Seeing one photo glide effortlessly into another there is no hint of the drama heartache worry and sheer bloody hard work that went into making it. Now that it's finished it seems a bit of a miracle and I'm sure that the eleven other designers in this competition feel exactly the same when they look back on the construction of their gardens.

About Slow Life
The idea of Slow Life is to take the principles of Slow Food, which are "good, clean and fair", and extend them to life in general.
Here in the Lake District, the air is clean, the pace is slow and the atmosphere is calm. If we don't grow food ourselves, we can buy it in friendly small shops, where you know the quality is going to be the best.
This blog is a celebration of the Slow Life, with forays into the world of design, music, the arts, gardens, and my particular weakness, Japan.

(Repeat for additional subscribers)
July 10 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Fitch Ratings says in a new report that a new generation of fixed income funds demands greater skills from portfolio managers to perform in a low but increasing yield and spread environment.
A growing, more sophisticated segment of the fund market consists of global benchmark unconstrained or absolute return fixed income funds, as investors move away from core fixed income benchmarked strategies. The new generation of fixed income funds implements more active, less correlated strategies to exploit market opportunities on both long and short trades, while attempting to protect capital from rising rates, spread widening or credit losses.
In Fitch's view, these strategies can be broadly segregated into flexible beta-driven and pure alpha-driven strategies. A fund's risk/returns in various markets will be influenced, in part, by where the fund fits into this bifurcated framework.
"Managing a new generation fixed income fund is more skills-based and more technical compared with traditional fixed income funds. The ability to effectively implement derivatives- based overlay or hedging strategies, as well as high-conviction directional or relative value trades will be the basis for performance differentiation between managers," says Manuel Arrive, Senior Director in Fitch's Fund and Asset Manager Rating group.
The flexibility given in tactical allocation or long/short trading, away from the constraints of traditional benchmarks to a broader investment universe, increases the fund's reliance on the portfolio manager. For instance, fixed income funds increasingly use derivatives strategies and hedging mechanisms, which require specialised expertise borrowed from the hedge fund world. In addition, the search for yield tends to lead managers to favour higher-risk, less liquid assets through barbell strategies, which demand advanced credit selection skills.
"There is a lot of focus on duration risk at the moment but our view is that credit, counterparty, liquidity and manager risk is also increasing within fixed income portfolios," adds Mr Arrive.
Fitch's fixed income unconstrained peer group and absolute return peer group show close to no correlation to interest rates and credit. While absolute return funds performed better than unconstrained funds during the June 2013 sell-off, over a three-year period, unconstrained funds performed better than absolute return funds, which had their track record tarnished in 2011.
The short track record and wide variance in funds' risk/return profiles presents a particular challenge in performance analysis and peer-group construction.

Artist Profile
Frida Methusalemsdottir
Born and raised in Iceland. I am now living in New Zealand since 2002, after living in New York for 12 years.
Nature is my primary inspiration. The unspoiled natural wilderness of both Iceland and NewZealand, with their perfectly imperfect textures, organic forms, and irregularities are evident in my
designs. Coming from a country where beauty is often found in the most unexpected things; the craggy shoreline, the lava fields, the midsummer sun, the eerie shadows of the winter. I aspire to create a quiet beauty, endeavoring to emulate nature through timeless, uncomplicated and individual design.
My chosen metals are sterling silver brass and gold, as I feel their combined effect serves my objective perfectly.

نکته های طلایی در یادگیری مکالمه زبان انگلیسی
یک مقاله انگلیسی در این مورد هم برای مطالعه قرار می دهم
What is the best way to learn English?
The first answer is: Nobody knows. And the second answer is that because nobody knows the best way to learn English, there isn't one. It''s an old fantasy for learners and for teachers - to find the one perfect key. So many teachers, English language schools, universities, academics, business people, etc., say that they know the best way to learn languages, but that''s only to make money. Don't believe them.
At Severnvale our experience has taught us that there are three simple conditions for good progress:
- You must be positive about learning English. It doesn't matter why you're positive - because you enjoy language, or because you hope to get a better job - but you must feel enthusiastic about it.
- You must feel relaxed, comfortable and secure - not only in the classroom, but outside it too
- You must accept that quantity matters as much as quality - in other words don't waste too much time worrying about the best way to learn English when you can spend time reading, writing, talking or listening to English instead! Doing a lot of language is better than doing one little bit perfectly.
(And something else we've learned is that it''s possible to make some progress even if none of those conditions are right!)
But one thing that all teachers and academics agree about is that people are different - different people learn better in different ways. So the really important factor is to find the best way for you to learn English.

The next generation Passat of Volkswagen is expected to raise the stakes against the luxury carmakers of Germany, with the developers of the vehicle hoping it will be referred to in the same instance as the Bmw 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4. A substitute for the VR6 engine will be in place under the hood, producing almost 300 hp (224 kW) from a displacement of 3.0-liters.
To enhance mileage and maintain potency, the fresh engine will also be utilizing direct injection, and the next models of the Passat range are anticipated to employ some form of forced induction also.
One of the versions will be a hybrid model too, and there is an anticipated 300hp (224kW) diesel variant all-wheel-drive and an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. To offer the Passat some much needed flair, VW will be removing all the stops to make the next-generation a technological showcase, with elements that should have the typical German carmakers looking a bit anxious.
Expected to be inaugurated in late 2011 as a 2012 model, the next-generation Passat will highlight an array of fresh technologies, as well as airless tires, a window cleaning system that does not need wipers and paramagnetic paint that can adapt color at the owner's will.
There will also be an Electronic Stability system with an attribute that automatically provides counter-steering assistance in unfavorable driving circumstances.

Lung Cancer Support Nurse one year on
You may remember reading about the appointment of Claire Mulvihill to the newly created position of Lung Cancer Support Nurse in the August edition of LungNet News last year. It has now been one year since Claire's appointment and we thought it was timely to share the story of one of the patients Claire has been able help by the provision of support and information.
Case Study: 56 year old lady from regional Australia diagnosed with stage 3a Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Treatment: Patient underwent concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Post treatment, the patient required emotional support after enduring six weeks of treatment in the city away from her family. Although she attended a hospital with a dedicated Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), there wasn't a Lung Cancer Support Nurse or Cancer Care Coordinator employed at the location to provide the support she was seeking and this led her to call our Lung Cancer Support Nurse.
During the first phone call, Claire established the patient's emotional and physical needs with discussions around nutrition and diet, the importance of exercise, sleep and returning to work. Claire also explained that an important aspect of the patient's care was utilising the professional support contacts available to her which included her GP, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist.
After a few months, the patient contacted Claire again as she was concerned post hospitalisation that a second course of antibiotics was not resolving a suspected chest infection coupled with a repetitive cough. Whilst speaking with the patient and noting her breathlessness and frequent coughing in relation to the course of radiotherapy she had completed three months prior, Claire had concerns she was presenting with radiation pneumonitis. With the permission from the patient, Claire emailed her radiation oncologist who was part of the hospital's lung cancer MDT. Within five days, the patient was reviewed by her radiation oncologist and appropriate treatment was started.
Since this event, the patient has continued to benefit from regular follow up calls to Claire for emotional support and during this time, she has become a member of our Lung Cancer Telephone Support Group.
If you haven't previously heard about our Lung Cancer Support Nurse, Claire, she is available to provide telephone support and information to patients and their families living with lung cancer, mesothelioma or rarer thoracic cancer, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. You can contact Claire by phoning our Information and Support Centre on 1800 654 301 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This new page is basically a template I design as a sort of mailer/flyer, and no data can be manipulated... this page would basically look like if i created the mailer in Word or something. I've managed to get something.... however when I go to print... it prints out every single record I've got. So if i have 150 records... it'll print out the flyer 150 times (1pg/record).

Yep, every good child of the 60's and English majors know this.
Those were halcyon days for singer-songwriters.
Sounds of Silence is a great album containing gems like Homeward Bound, Kathy's Song, I Am a Rock, and April Come She Will.

"Here," he said as he presented a fresh-out-of-the-package disc, "this is for you."
I stuck out my hand to grab the cd, but all of a sudden there were three dudes in purple shirts standing in front of me. And then the FBI walked out.
"This is why you never pirate music." One of them said to me as he put five pairs of hand cuffs around my wrists.

Being generally food-obsessed, and in the course of travelling to new places, I've often wished for one thing: to encounter some sort of introduction to the local cuisine, something that goes beyond the cursory descriptions found in your average guidebook or Wikipedia entry. Ideally something with pretty photos and perhaps a bit of interactivity. Something that puts the cuisine in context, touches on the culture and history, and highlights a few must-eat dishes.
With the kind support of Chiang Mai's Tamarind Village, I've been lucky enough put together my fantasy introduction to the cuisine of Thailand's north. I'd never call myself an expert on northern Thai food, but in nearly 20 years of visiting the region, eating the food, talking with cooks, cooking with cooks, and writing about the cuisine for books, newspapers and magazines, I've assimilated a fair bit of information and photos on the topic. I've sifted through all this, and have put together what I think is a pretty solid introduction to a cuisine that few outside the Thai-speaking world know much about.
If I were visiting northern Thailand for the first time and wanted to know what to eat, it's the introduction I'd want to encounter.
The exhibition opens on February 28 and runs until May 31.
I wish I was going to Chiang Mai
I feel privileged to have found this site and grateful for all that work you have put into it. For us "foodies", cooking is a passion that stirs feelings, memories and emotion. My first career choice was to cook, and at the time it didn't draw the "glamour and star-power" it does today. Unfortunately, the work & the workers were taken for granted, pay was minimal and forget about benefits! I became a massage therapist and ultimately a nurse, but am trying to return to my roots. I would love to travel through Thailand as well to explore its diverse culture and beauty. Until then, will your exhibition travel to the US? Thanks for your efforts to capture the authenticity and for sharing!
I visited the exhibition and I can confirm it is a great work with fantasic photos, which really provide a real overview of the thai food. Thank you Austin for your work

Georges St-Pierre isn't concerned with collecting titles any more. With a "been there, done that" attitude, the former champ told Ariel Helwani on Monday's MMA Hour what he really wants: the biggest fights.
The Canadian superstar admitted that having a belt doesn't really mean much. In fact, GSP went as far as to say that having the belt doesn't even mean necessarily, that you're the best:
I'm gonna tell you something. The belt is the title and maybe I shouldn't say that. Maybe my manager will be angry. [Jokingly] Yes, the belt means a lot.
But there's more than just a piece of metal around your waist. In fact, according to GSP, that really all it is.
I would rather be known as the best ever than holding the belt. If you're the best and even if you don't have the belt and you're the best, it's more gratifying. The belt is a material thing. It's good. I won it a few times. But I want to fight the best, the biggest name.
Only 34, GSP has been spending months teasing on whether he'd come back to the UFC, and it actually does seem like things are progressing. Recently, he spoke to the media, telling them that his management team was "in negotiations" with the UFC.
One of the hold ups though was the UFC's new deal with Reebok, a deal that wasn't in place when GSP left the Octagon in 2013.
It was after his fight with Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 that he walked away from MMA. A few weeks after his win, GSP officially rescinded the title.
Now, the idea of him returning is looking less like a fantasy and more of a reality. If that happens though, it's not like GSP will just jump in the welterweight pack. He is, after all, a star; a star that holds a lot of weight with fans.
It's that fact that makes GSP want to go big or go home:
With all the build up that has been surrounding his return, it's safe to say that whatever GSP decides to do, it's definitely going to be huge news. Now that it seems like Nate Diaz might need a new opponent at UFC 200, maybe we'll finally see GSP return to the Ocatgon for what would definitely be a "big fight."

Days after being served with a lawsuit filed by Oglethorpe County Sheriff Jason Lowe, the Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners has purchased land to build a new county jail.
A new jail is just one demand in the lawsuit, filed last week. The suit also demands Lowe be allocated the necessary funds and equipment to run his department. Commission Chairman Charles Mathews said Monday that commissioners have not filed a response but have 30 days to do so.
''Rest assured, a response is coming,'' he said.
Mathews said Monday that commissioners closed Friday on a 7.47 acre tract for the jail. The land is on the western edge of the city of Crawford off U.S. Highway 78 near the city water system's cesspool. The land cost $70,000 -- not including closing costs and taxes, Mathews said.
Mathews said the jail will connect to the Crawford water system.
''We won't have to drill a well. It will be a tremendous savings to the taxpayers,'' Mathews said.
Mathews said commissioners have been looking at the Crawford site since last November, long before being sued by the sheriff.
Commissioners have been planning for a new jail since 1997, when voters approved a 1 percent local sales tax to finance jail construction. The county has $3.5 million in sales tax revenue earmarked for the project, but a cost for the jail has not been determined. Commissioners have examined and rejected a handful of proposed sites since last year.
The county's existing jail, built more than 100 years ago, has space for 12 inmates but has been closed since last fall, when a state fire inspector found fire hazards. The county's roughly 40 prisoners are now housed in other counties' jails at an average cost of $35 per day per inmate.
No construction schedule has been set for the new jail. Mathews said the land will have to be prepared for construction, and commissioners must chose a jail design. He added the new jail will have between 54 and 76 beds for inmates. It was unclear if the jail will accommodate both male and female inmates, because a design has not been chosen yet.
Lowe said Monday he did not know the commission had closed on land for the new jail, and declined comment on the site.
''They've kept me out of the loop on that,'' he said.

Other than Arbor Day, I can't think of too many holidays where American's don't over consume food, drink or both...
A WWII vet from Birmingham, Alabama named Raymond Weeks thought Armistice Day should be a day to celebrate the service of all veterans.
Where were you on this date in 2005? If you were in New Orleans, Louisiana you'd be bracing for the worst natural disaster in United States history — Hurricane Katrina.
The nearly week long hostage situation in Alabama involving a five-year-old boy has finally come to an end.
Second-ranked Alabama avenged its only loss of the season in a big way, shutting out #1 LSU, 21-0, in the Allstate BCS Championship Game Monday night.
Alabama's defense, which came into the game ranked first nationally in virtually every major category, showed just why it deserves to be national champions, holding the Tigers to just 92 total yards and five first downs while pitching the first shutout in BCS title game history.
Nearly two months after an outbreak of tornadoes swept through Alabama and other states, a Casper, Wyoming radio crew went to check out the damage.
Donovan Short from KISS 104.7 FM went to Alabama to visit family and saw the damage that remained after the news crews were long gone.

Sun sign compatibility test, is it enough?
Sun sign compatibility test, is it enough to judge someone or the relationship itself? The answer is a complete 'no'. Yes, we all have seen many commenting 'Oh! I am compatible with the water signs' or 'ew!!!!!! He's a Gemini, the most incompatible to me!' Now I know that Gemini are jerks for some the scorps too [just kidding ;) ] You may find behavior pattern in people with the same sun sign, but it's too broad and far fetched to come to any conclusion.
Example of sun sign compatibility test?
For example, Cancerian girls are usually kind and sweet hearted, they are pretty reserved too. But if the Cancer girl has a Gemini in her mercury (it represent communication aspect) planet, then she would be very efficient in talks and quite chirpy. If she has a moon (represents emotional behavior) sign in Aries, then she may not be sensitive as much as a typical Cancerian girl. Thus, one can see inconstancies in the behavior of people with the same sign. Hence one should never judge based on the sun sign compatibility test.
Astrology considers various aspects of a person's birth chart. All the planets and houses in the birth chart represent a certain characteristics of the individual. It's also used in predicting forecast. With the sun sign compatibility test, an Aries and Scorpio are not compatible but if they have other planets which are compatible then they might even be like soul mates.
The best way to find astrology compatibility among two people is not through sun sign compatibility test, but using an entire birth chart of them for complete accuracy.
I would suggest getting an astrology compatibility report, to get your birth chart analyzed by a pro. Click here to get some more details on astrology compatibility report.
Note: Please don't judge your relationship based on just sun signs. Sun sign compatibility test is not complete nor accurate all the time!, For accurate personalized and in-depth astrology compatibility report,

Next, 2016, 2143, 1944, or simply 5: What is the potential of the next Battlefield installment, and why?
Let's start with something essential: Establishing a major skill gap in the game.
First of all, I think nobody would disagree that the removal of auto-rotation is a must for console – Rainbow Six just showed that AAA-FPS releases may dare to renounce of it, and the late BF4 community definitely enjoyed its lack in the recent past.
I doubt it'll be missing at release, but at least give us the option to deactivate it on servers right from the start. This goes for some crucial improvements of BF:H & the CTE of 4 in general: The incredible customization for multiple hitmarker colours, all kinds of HUD settings, conquest capture zones on the minimap, etc.
One compromise might be the activation of auto-rotation strictly for a possible singleplayer/coop-mode and newbie servers with players below a certain rang, but forcing its deactivation on all other servers.
Another tweak could be more hipfire punishment – the game doesn't reward steady aim in close to mid range too much, leading to a spray-and-pray practice in close gunfights. Additional bullet spray for players abusing hip fire extensively could provide more firefights being won by the guy aiming better, rather than the one spraying faster with a high rate of fire (ROF).
Also, high ROF weapons need more recoil in order to balance their dominant role which they're possesing now. In the past, the overpowered guns were always those with a pretty decent ROF but still manageable recoil, as the M16A3 in 3 and the ACE in early 4. The combination of high ROF, meaning basically highter time to kill (TTK), and decent recoil made up for an extreme overuse of these kind of weapons on every level. I'd prefer to see high ROF guns being balanced closer to the recoil of BF4's FAMAS, challenging players to control their tool with the faster TTK as a reward.
Which brings me to the next factor for a skill based gameplay: The TTK in general. It's extremely important that BF5 keeps it at least on the level of 4, but I'd love to see it being slightly increased. Taking a look at a prime negative example, of course the fan favorite BF Hardline, one can easily see how a low TTK ruines the entire gameplay. The shorter it takes to bring someone down, the more are random factors deciding over winning or losing a gunfight. Take any hardcore mode: Lower HP, effectively meaning faster TTK, rewards sight and positioning, but punishes everything else. Most of the 1v1s are basically a question of who has been spotted first, campers rejoice. Add the still to this date mediocre weapon balance of Hardline, and you have a terrible game.
Contrarily though, longer TTK rewards players confirming their movement and aim regularly. The best example is Halo, the FPS taking the most skill on console. Miss a single headshot in a Halo gunfight and you're done – the requirement of multiple headshots in order to kill one's opponent is nothing but skillful.
That's why adjusting BF5's TTK to a higher level in comparison to 4 and especially Hardline would be an easy way to support more talented players. The question remaining though is, if DICE want to appeal more to CoD with a TTK even lower than BF:H. Millions of players are used to the onehit kills of Call of Duty, and BFH was already an approach to this target group.
To close the discussion about expanding the skill gap, it's helpful to take a look at succesful FPS franchises like CS:GO an Rainbow. Both deliver hardcore FPS action, focussing on core gameplay mechanics a lot without being unattractive to a larger peer group. There is a market for FPS with a high skill gap.
Shortly after the release of Hardline, mostly the vocal French community spammed this hashtag on Twitter to developers and more, as it had been lacking once again at release. It took more than half a year in BF3 until the rent a server program had been released, though that's been the first time on console, and again 6 months with BF4. After being forced to play the half-baked single elimination mode Defuse in 4 for several months on ranked servers, every competitive player had a huge desire for rent a sever availability right at launch – at last, it took only 2 months in BFH, with every week being overdue as one can imagine.
The launch window is of the essence for every game, it's where you're building your community and try convincing as many players as possible. There's never a larger playerbase than in the first few weeks, and particularly people involved in esports will show your product a cold shoulder, if it's lacking core features like custom games.
It would be nice to see more custom / rented servers in the official map rotation or quick search. As of now, a few minor changes will restrict your rented server from being found via quick search, leading to mostly DICE servers being populated while lots of servers bought by fans have a hard time being filled.
It's hard to understand the treatment of console players regarding the servers, no matter if it's the late release or the instability. One should not forget that approximately 75-80% of players are based on 360, PS3, One and PS4. DICE has always been very close to the vocal PC minority of players – take the #1 marketing assets, as known as youtubers like JackFrags or xFactor, all being PC-based, or the CTE community on PC.
Battlefront is a good sign
You might ask why Star Wars: Battlefront brightens my view on the next Battlefield release. Let me expand the scope: Originally, the Battlefield series was supposed to change to a yearly franchise with its spinoff Hardline. BF4 launched in November 2013, BFH should have been released in the holiday season 2014. From there on, one might have been expecting a cycle close to this: BF5 2015, Spinoff 2016, BF6 2017, and so on. Luckily, two things came together, although all this is subject of speculation:
Hardline was delayed, though it did not help at all quality wise, and DICE announced their involvement with the Star Wars franchise. The disastrous flop Hardline hopefully showed the decisive people at EA, that the franchise doesn't function properly on a yearly base. My best guess is EA's cancellation of former plans to deliver one BF each year around that time, and instead a 2-year rythm for both, Star Wars and Battlefield games. Not only gain the studios more time to focus on a fresh experience rather than copying huge parts of previous titles in a franchise, but in my opinion, this is also helpful to stress the diversity of both series.
Think about Battlefront: Without judging its direction, it's a purely casual shooter, blatantly trying to gather gamers barely touching a mouse-/gamepad more than once a week, having some kind of interest for Star Wars, as pretty much every human being. It's more than obvious that they reached out to the gigantic potential playerbase by removing basic FPS features like ammunition and therefore reloading etc., enabling a pleasant experience for players of every skill level. Consequently, the title doesn't offer any depth and provides no real challenges on the long run. Again, it's a logical decision from a publisher standpoint.
Now if we assume that BF and SW games rotate each year, where does this leave the Battlefield series?
I'd say, EA positions both somewhat opposive. The casual byproduct of a Star Wars movie hype on the one hand, and the 'hardcore' shooter franchise on the other. It would be anticlimatic and unthoughtful to release another simple, pretty basic FPS just one year after Battlefront. In case Star Wars and BF are truly being placed in contrast to eachother, the state of Battlefront is a pretty good sign for the classification of the next Battlefield.
There has been a lot of speculation concerning the setting of the next Battlefield. Personally, I don't care that much – core gameplay pillars are more important to me. Though I wouldn't be too happy about a future setting, as it might imply two things: A cheap appeal to the near-future set CoD titles and therefore its playerbase, and even more useless gadgets. A world war setting would restrict crazy, unbalanced gadgets from the start in a natural way. In any case, the current setting of present time has become tiresome for some, and lead to some bashing of BF4 being a BF3.1. It remains to be seen, if another modern day BF can offer enough freshness, or if DICE decide to go with something new.
The more, the better?
Some players have some kind of OCD with the weapon arsenal of Battlefield. Getting 500 kills, respectively every unlock for all guns has become a metagame for some. I never quite understood the fascination about it though. From a competitive standpoint, the ever-growing amount of PDW-Rs, ARs, knifes, pistols, gadgets is more of a nightmare. Balance is extremely important to any esport, and it is hugely affected by a monstrous amount of weapons. DICE always had their problems with it, just take the USAS-12, M26 Dart or M320 Smoke / AUG A3 combination in BF3. They pushed the limit for the sheer amount of guns with every new BF release, even though there's not even any kind of distinctive difference between similar ones. Why do the Scar-H and ACE 52 exist? One of those two could have done the job easily. I vouch for a small, clear selection, with every gun having its specific role for the gameplay. By the way, if your base game offers enough depth and smart design choices, there is not that much of a need to hold players hands by overwhelming them with unlocks, gadgets, etc. I fear that the buzzword 'customization' is far too important for the DICE designers though, and that we'll see even more pointless unlocks, battlepacks, ranks etc.
Large modes like 64 man conquest don't interest me too much, but especially with BF4, I had the feeling that the dozens gadgets have taken over the vehicle gameplay. Multiple variations of lock-on anti-vehicle tools (the BF4 beta even had lock-on for basic RPGs), redundant stuff like the anti-explosives 'shield', and even more unnecessary additions to this horrible mix with every DLC. Less is more, DICE.
Battlefield5.exe has stopped working
A few words concerning the launch: Don't fix the game, focus on enabling a stable launch avoiding any kind of major fix already in the run-up. CTE has been a valuable source of feedback and improvements for the series, and it would be great to continue with it. In general, the more DICE LA involvement, the better for BF5. They've done a fantasic job on BF4, pretty much saving the mess DICE Sweden launched. After two releases on an amateur level, it's DICE's absolute duty to deliver a functioning game this autumn. The beta this summer won't help too much, as we saw with BF4. Same goes for feedback of youtubers: Their paid trips to launch events and biased video content afterwards does everything but add to the state of the game, I'd rather see some kind of pre-launch CTE for an exclusive group of players.
The integration of esport
EA recently announced the foundation of the 'EA Competitive Gaming Division' – an obvious jump on the esport bandwagon. They'd be stupid to ignore the publisher's major FPS franchise, so chances are we'll be seeing some huge announcements sooner or later. Several steps are necessary to make BF succesful in this regard:
First and foremost, every BF player has to know and understand about competitive gaming. Take Starcraft, CS, or LoL: The competitive nature of its gameplay is deeply rooted in its design – from scratch. Every novice to these games is playing the same game as worldclass teams. BF is the exact contrast: The vast majority of its players is not aware of esport, and even the few people competing are additionally seperated in their already existing isolation of the 'mainstream' BF gamer – 5v5 infantry versus 8-16 man conquest.
Instead of having these huge gaps between 1337DaRkPsYcHoXX saying 'Lol BF without vehicles, might as well sweat CoD' and a 'pro' bragging 'Filthy casual playing public only', there needs to be a common understanding between both.
First step is a competitive matchmaking, directly integrated into the main menu, enabling everyone to easily jump in a competitive match. BF Hardline included a rough version of this after launch, hinting towards a fully developed version for BF5, with BFH playing some kind of beta test role.
1337DaRkPsYcHoXX needs to be in a position of easy access to competitive structures, in order to motivate him and every other random player for esport matches and rules. Further interest can be brought to life by official tournaments, being announced and visible in the game's main menu. Assuming plans for Battlefield in the new Competitive Division of EA are set, it will be interesting to see how EA is advertising BF5. In the past, marketing stressed the often quoted 'Battlefeels', the experience of huge scale, 'all-out' battles. If they're planning to become the next big thing in FPS esport, they'll need to find a balance between 64 (+X?) man matches and intense 5v5 action. There might be some kind of seperation ingame, as we've recently seen with Halo 5's 4v4 core modes, and 12v12 MOBA-ish Warzone mode with bots, different map stages etc.
One more step contributing to this purpose are free map packs: EA could avoid splitting the playerbase in vanilla and premium players, generating revenue by camos, not gameplay affecting custumization like CS:GO. A steady flow of new infantry maps or even a map editor would help as well.
Most probably, the E3 2016 or some kind of nebulous teaser/trailer is going to reveal the first information about the next Battlefield. At this point and time, there is no confirmation of any detail, not even the setting – an open invitation to speculation. My main issue remains if EA takes esport seriously this time. After all, two things are decisive: Gameplay being designed from the start for competition, and dedication of the publisher. With some luck, some of my suggestions might have made it into the final game. EA do have the means – if they want.

I've had some jumbled thoughts swirling around in my brain for some time now, mostly related to some of the deeper theology underlying sex and relationships. It seems that there is lots of confusion on the matter, most of it rooted in bad theology (or philosophy, for my irreligious readers). I don't feel confident that my answers are correct, but I do feel confident that others' answers are wrong. What I write now is mostly an iconoclast thought experiment that I hope delivers some sort of catharsis as I write. In many ways, it feels like what I'm about to write is akin to Your God Is Too Small. It's easy to identify and describe false gods; it's nearly impossible to describe the correct One. To paraphrase Jens Lekman, I know who God isn't.
Part One: The Natural Order
"It's amazing that women can easily rebel against God, biology, society, their husbands, but they'll drop on their knees for a cad. It's no wonder PUAs are so full of themselves." –Frank
It appears that Frank has never read I Corinthians 11, though I suspect that the same can be said of many other nominal Christians as well. In the aforementioned chapter, Paul says that, "the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." From this I gather that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. But maybe I'm just simple.
In another passage, Paul would say "And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve." Going back to the beginning, we find that God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Then we find that "the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man."
By now, it should be clear that Frank has a rather unbiblical understanding of the role of women. Woman was not intended to worship God or serve God. God is not the head of Woman. In fact, Jesus is not the head of Woman. Man is the head of Woman, and Woman is designed and created to worship and serve Man. God did not create Woman to be a helper for Himself, but rather a helper for Man. Thus, it is only fitting that women will drop on their knees for a cad instead of God since that is far more in keeping with their intended function. Thus, their desire to serve Man, even in the form of cads, is not truly a rebellion against God, though it may be unwise or short-sighted, or even disadvantageous to society. But I will have more to say on that later.
Really, the notion that Woman (or women) answers to God is simply unbiblical. There is a natural order to this world, and a natural hierarchy within it. The Natural Hierarchy, as given by God through the apostle Paul is as follows: God rules over Christ, who rules over Man who rules over Woman. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar (or an ignoramus, or a coward) and serves Satan, perhaps unknowingly. And I will have more to say on this later.
Part Two: Raising Cane
Cue Cane Caldo:
"For over a year now, I've been asking: 'Considering that the Christian man is called to marriage alone for sexual release, and that the world is full of sluts (there aren't nearly enough virgins to go around), how is Game anything but a round-about method of telling Christian men to Man-Up and Marry These Sluts?'" [Ital. original, ed.]
Here's a better question: Why do so many "Christian" leaders and writers get so hung up on adhering to God's original ideal?1
This is, believe it or not, a very serious question. Hebrews 11 provides a list of paragons of faith, and it is quite illuminating to see how many of them deviated from God's Ideal for Marriage™. Abraham had a child with a woman who was most certainly not his wife. Jacob had two wives, and bore children by two more women to whom he was not married. Rahab was a professional fornicator. David was a murderous, polygamous fornicator (who happened to be a man after God's own heart). And all of these sexually impure people are paragons of faith to be imitated by followers of Christ.
Now, I hope that people don't conclude from this that I'm advocating rampant sexual license. However, saying that sexual purity is The Most Important Thing™ is clearly a pile of nonsense. If God can look at a man who cheated on his multiple wives, then covered up his adultery with murder and still say that said cheater was still a man after his own heart (upon repentance, of course), then clearly there are some things in life that are more important than sexual purity.
"But," some hypothetical Straw Man might rejoin, "what about all the New Testament laws against fornication?" What about them? Are we to believe that any deviation from God's ideal somehow makes it impossible for God to work within us? Are we to believe that God's love cannot turn a slutty woman into a loving wife? Or is God's power so weak and trifling that it cannot reform the heart of Woman?
But then, this is really a trick question, is it not? For it is not God who transforms Woman, but Man. And the man who can transform a slut into a wife is a the type of man that God can transform from a sinner into a saint.
See the beauty of the hierarchy is that enables us to see, however dimly and briefly, a glimpse of eternal beauty. As Woman is to Man, so Man is to God, which is why God's most graphically heart-breaking lesson in the Old Testament consists of God telling one of his servants to marry a prostitute. (I've written on this before, but the lesson does not appear to have stuck.)
In the eyes of God, all men are, in a sense, spiritual sluts. All men have chased after lesser gods (like sports, careers, money, status, fame, etc.) When Man finally become interested in God, he generally does so only after he realizes just how vain and worthless his other masters are. Very few men have served God and God alone; most have sought after other gods (and isn't true that even after men come to God, they still often long for their former masters? Is that not the essence of temptation?). It is fitting, then, that Woman is a reflection of Man. As Roissy once said, men and women always deserve each other. Or, more broadly, men get the women they deserve, and vice versa. This is Bible.
So, given that Man generally experiments with other gods long before he becomes interested in Jehovah, why should it be the case that Woman behaves any differently towards Man? (Especially since the earthly is a reflection of the spiritual.) Or, to state it another way, if you're going to play around before you get serious (about God), why shouldn't women play around before they get serious (about you)?
Here's what's beautiful: God doesn't stop wanting Man once Man becomes infatuated with something else. God still desires a relationship with Man, even after Man has been broken by hedonism, abused by the capriciousness of status-seeking, or traded his glory for scars. He still wants Man, even with all his pain, his scars, his brokenness, his hurt, his imperfections. But not only does he want us, he wants to heal us, and be the perfect master for us, giving us purpose in life. He doesn't promise that our lives will be easy, or that the healing process will be painless, but he will make us far happier than any of our other masters could. Unlike our prior masters, God is Love.
So, if God so loves Man that he will pursue Man even when Man is but a dirty beggar living in the gutter, does it not behoove Man to do the same to Woman? To put it in starker relief, do you really want to stand before God and complain that your wife wasn't pure for you when you weren't pure for God?
Part Three: The Social Gospel, or The Appeal to Society Fallacy
Eventually rubber has to meet road. Cars are absolutely worthless sitting in a factory. Unapplied theology is the same. Most men will still bristle at the call to man up and marry sluts, and for good reason, too. Even though most men are, in my opinion, absolute fools in spiritual matters, they still retain enough of their intuition to understand just how repellant the notion of marrying sluts truly is. It's truly strange, though, how most men seem utterly incapable of drawing the obvious conclusion from the most common Biblical metaphor: God isn't exactly thrilled at the prospect of being in a relationship with Men who have been broken by capricious masters but still long to be with the masters who ruined them.
"But," many men will undoubtedly sputter, "I've been perfectly faithful to God. I've attended church and everything! I'm a productive member of society, I pay my taxes, I provide for my family, I live by the rules, etc." As if this is faithfulness to God.
On Vox Day's Alpha Game blog, the byline reads, "Breaking the chains, winning the games, and saving Western Civilization" (Emphasis added, ed.). From what I've read of the manosphere, this does seem to be the general theme. There is this sort of notion that everyone should learn Game, everyone should learn how to rule his wife, and so on, in order to save Western Civilization. The general impression that I get is that guys should learn Game in order to save their marriages, and thus ultimately society. Being a good husband because God demands that of you is more of an afterthought.
It has been noted by somewhat shallow theologians, like my father, that if everyone were to live by New Testament principles, we would have a fairly prosperous and stable society. This observation is true, but misses the point. If everyone were to live by New Testament principles, everyone would be children of God, and the resultant prosperous/stable society would be incidental. I would theorize, based on what I've read and heard, that many nominal Christians view Christianity as a means to the end of highly functional, perhaps even utopic, society. Even atheists, at least those of the honest, non-aspie type, will argue as such. Thus, Christianity, and the attendant organized religion that inevitably surrounds it, is not viewed fundamentally as a means of having a relationship with God, but as a way of having something else. Thus, most Christians don't really love God, but rather his blessings. Or, more accurately, what they perceive as his blessings.
(I note, with some degree of amusement, that the patriarchs of faith listed in Hebrews 11 (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) were all nomadic herdsmen. While other exemplars of faith were part of a more civilized society, or even built it (David, e.g.), it is intriguing to note that the father of the faithful lived in what would today be considered relative poverty. Yes, Abraham had lots of flocks, but few Americans living in the 21st century consider animal farming to be a mark of success and high-status. Given Abraham's nomadic lifestyle, I would be willing to be that few Christians living in America today would want to live just like Abraham did, since Abraham's lifestyle would be generally considered uncivilized. In spite of his lack of civilization, Abraham was more than able to live a life of faith because ultimately he was looking for a city whose builder and maker was God.)
Christians don't look to the reward; they look to the here and now. Perhaps that's why Christ asked, "Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" So, if Christian men are focused on solving the problems that belong to God (say, the ordering of Nations and Governments), can it really be said that Man has faith in God? (And if the answer is yes, then why isn't Man content to trust God to set in place the proper authorities?) To go back to an established metaphor, if Man is going to try to do God's job, thus upending the natural order, why should Man be surprised when Woman tries to Man's job?
Ultimately, feminism is a reflection of Man's pride, which is seen in Frank's earlier comment. If a Man assumes that he needs to order the nations, then he places himself above God. But God has to exist somewhere in the hierarchy, and Frank, and others like him, ultimately conclude that God is still above Woman and that, consequently, Woman should answer to and worship God. So, if you screw up one part of the natural hierarchy, it shouldn't be surprising if you end up compounding your mistake by screwing up another part of the hierarchy.
What is ultimately revealed is that Man isn't really all that faithful to God. Most men, it would appear, are far more interested in doing God's job than living in submission to him. (And isn't it interesting how that mirrors most men's complaints about women: most women are unsubmissive and try to do men's jobs so as to have no need for men.) Men don't really worship God, they worship human society. Fittingly, their women have followed suit.
Part Four: Those Who Burn
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." –Rev. 21:7-8
If the earthly is a metaphor for the spiritual, and it is, then it should make sense that only those who submit to God in this life are fit to live with him in the life to come. To this end, living in submission to God means knowing your place. If you're a Man, you live in submission to Christ. If you're a Woman, you live in submission to Man.3 Consequently, it should also make sense that those who do not live in submission to the natural order, or work to upend the natural order, will be condemned to everlasting punishment.
To this end, those listed as deserving punishment in Revelation 21 can be broadly viewed as those who subvert the natural order. What's intriguing to me is that cowards are the first people listed as subverting the natural order.
I think that the pervasive triumph of evil in these modern times is due to cowardice. There have always been men who have trumpeted pernicious false doctrines, and there have always been men who have lived by false doctrines. However, it is not always the case that a majority of men have paid lip service and otherwise sought to justify false doctrines and evil practices. Thus, when God condemns the cowardly, he is condemning those who refuse to stand up for what is right, or those who pay lip service to evil for whatever reason (to keep their job, social standing, etc.). Edmund Burke was right when he said that, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." This corresponds with the principle espoused by James: "to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin."
From what I can gather, it is generally only a minority of people that engage in a lot of the evil listed in Revelation 21. There do not appear to be a lot of people that are diligently working to upend the natural order by engaging in what God calls abominable acts. However, there do appear to be a lot of people who are passively engaging in upending the natural order by sitting passively by and paying lip service to the pretty lies of the modern age: equality, feminism, social justice and its attendant activism, and so on. To pay lip service to these lies and pattern your life to profit from them makes you at least a liar, assuming you know the truth, and a coward to boot since you would rather live comfortably than live honestly. And that is why liars cowards will have their part with the abominable people. If one can get along with liars and the disorderly in this life, it is only fitting to assume that one can continue to get along with them in the life to come.
Part Five: Catharsis
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil." –Solomon
While it might appear that this post is about the manosphere, or Cane Caldo, or Frank, or anyone else, the truth is that it is really about me. I once believed in equality, I once believed that Woman answers directly to Christ, and so on. Not only did I once believe what I now repudiate, I taught it publicly and propagated the nonsense I now decry. I thought completing the checklist was a surefire sign of faithfulness, and I did my best to complete the checklist. Even now, on my blog, I still get caught up in writing about hypothetical fixes for society's ills. Deep down, I desire to play God, and in so doing work to upend the natural order. I hope that God will be merciful to me.
But an even greater truth is that this post isn't really about me or anyone else, per se, but humanity. And this post is really just Genesis 3, but with different names and in a different setting. This post is about human pride, the scourge of humanity's existence. Since the beginning, and even to the present, Humanity is still seduced by the prettiest lie of all: that we can be like God, knowing good from evil. We can't, but that doesn't stop us from believing the lie. And so we embrace feminism and chase dreams of building a utopic society.4 We are proud.
God doesn't call me, or anyone else, to fix society. He doesn't all me to rule the world. He doesn't call me to judge the world or be the arbiter of ultimate truth. God calls me—and he calls you—to love Him, and love my neighbor as myself. Life is about relationships. We have a relationship with God, and a relationship with our fellow man. We are to love both God and Humanity alike, though the expression of our love will vary, naturally. We aren't called to know truth, or defend truth, or chase after abstractions, though such pastimes are fun and occasionally harmless. We are called to love. "Be ye therefore imitators of God as dear children." "God is love."
The foundation of the law is love. We are commanded by God to love him and one another. That is our role, and we must content ourselves with it. We need to know our place and act accordingly. God will take care of the rest.
1. For those whose memories may need refreshed, Jesus taught in Matthew 19 that the ideal for marriage was one man and one woman for life and Paul taught in I Corinthians 7 that marriage is the proper exclusive realm for sexual release. Thus, sex prior to marriage, or with multiple partners while married, is very much a sin since it would be a deviation from the ideal.
2. Other interesting notes: Noah got drunk and had his nakedness uncovered by his son, hardly an example of sexual prurience. Joseph's citation of faithfulness makes no reference to withstanding the temptations of Potiphar's wife. Samson was simply an idiot when it came to women (cf. Judges 14 and 16), and certainly violated God's law against intermarriage (cf. Deuteronomy 7:1-5).
3. Perhaps in another post I will deal with the theology of this particular aspect of the hierarchy, and with submission to earthly authority in general. For now, I will simply say that C.S. Lewis gets quite close to the general issue in his book The Last Battle. In chapter 15, Lewis recounts the tale of a Calormene who had entered into new Narnia. The Calormene was a servant of Tash (a false or harsh god, depending on how you interpret Lewis). When the Calormene met Aslan, Alsan welcomed the Calormene to new Narnia and said that all the service the Calormene had rendered to Tash would be counted as service rendered to him. It's really a quite beautiful scene, and well-worth reading. Anyhow, I imagine that God's judgment will be similar, in that service rendered in good faith to another master (Woman to Man, e.g., or child to father, servant to master, citizen to ruler, laity to clergy, etc.) will be accounted as service rendered to God.
4. Utopic does not necessarily mean perfect, but rather simply represents an ideal state. All who would design a society must implicitly have an ideal form of it in mind, else plans would be impossible. Thus, even the libertarian realist who simply desires respect for property rights must ultimately believe that some sort of panacea will hypothetically be attained once his ideal is achieved.

Hello from Cumbria's real food magazine!
This Post was written by Martin from Artisan-food.com
A quick introduction as I have just joined this group. My name is Martin and along with my wife Cecilia we run Cumbria's on-line food magazine. It's sort of like a big blog in that it's our personal take on the food scene in Cumbria, but we run it as a magazine, on-line. I'm a photographer and Cecilia is a journalist, so that's the words and piccies taken care of, Cecilia makes the pages and I make the site. Job done.
We fight for the rights of the real Cumbrian sausage....
About three years ago we took a decision to try to spend our "food money" in local shops rather than the supermarket. Being foodies and often cooking all sorts of food for our friends and family, this was not going to be easy. Where do you start? As usual for me, it was in at the deep end. "Let's try only eating food produced in Cumbria for a week" was the bright idea that Cecilia willingly went along with. After driving for what seemed like hundreds of miles and spending hours searching for any, never mind decent, sources of genuinely local food, the week ended up being a real eye opener. This was the seed that started the magazine and now two years on from the launch we spend the vast majority of our "food money" locally, sometimes without even leaving the house. Over that time our understanding and love of our local food economy has blossomed.
After the blossom comes the Damsons from Lyth Valley, a simply perfect local product that ends up in jam, gin, puddings, chocolates....
The sections are called, startin', readin' eatin' cookin' gettin' and makin'. It's all about who produces what in Cumbria. How it's produced, where to get it, how to cook it and where you can find it to eat. We love our producers and our chefs in particular. Not least because the good ones are really hard working and extremely dedicated. We hate being disappointed with badly cooked and poorly served, expensive food. So we have our own restaurant reviews. These represent the places we love to go back to. I like to experiment as well and the site gives me the perfect opportunity and excuse to try cheesemaking, bake sourdough bread, smoke food, stuff my own sausages...you name it I'm up for it.
Such as researching the best recipes for cooking the local grey squirrels...
We have a blog section on the site. I post regularly, so does one of our local chefs, an organic vegetable farmer, a food historian (well at least he did until he broke his leg...) and more recently a local dairy farmer is giving us his insights too.
We are re-designing the site at the moment (the articles have had a makeover, top pages are next) as well as introducing video, which we call, somewhat tongue in cheek, our own TV channel. But seriously whilst we stick more or less strictly to Cumbrian products on most of the site, we would be happy to include contributed videos on relevant food subjects, just e-mail me if you have some ideas or relevant content.
It's a bit of fun really.
Hope you like what we do, feedback is always welcome.

I recently wrote an article on my blog about sourwood trees. I was looking for studies that found sourwood pollen in Pleistocene-aged pollen profiles. I didn't find any, but I did come across a scientific paper that listed 19 species of eastern trees whose northern range limits match the former extent of the Laurentide Glacier.
Contrary to what many paleoecologists think, the forest that existed immediately south of the Ice Age ice sheet probably was not a pure boreal forest but included these 19 species commonly found in the southern Appalachians. I wrote about this paper on my blog.
Here's a link to my article.
