"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978 from the album Heaven Tonight. It was the first Cheap Trick single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 62. Its success in Japan, as well as the success of its preceding singles "Clock Strikes Ten" and "I Want You to Want Me", paved the way for Cheap Trick's famous concerts at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo in April 1978 that were recorded for the group's most popular album Cheap Trick at Budokan.[2][3]
Rolling Stone deemed it "the ultimate Seventies teen anthem" and ranked it #471 on its list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The song originates from 1976, as it was played in concerts before its release like many Cheap Trick songs.
"Surrender" is composed in B-flat major, with a key change to B major following the instrumental intro, and a key change to C major after the second time of the chorus. [4]
"Surrender" is a late 1970s teen anthem, describing the relations between the baby boomer narrator and his G.I. generation parents. His mother, having served in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) in the Philippines, frequently warns him about the girls he will meet, as he will never know what diseases he will catch from them. The narrator describes how his parents are weirder and hipper than many teens would believe. For example, the narrator describes how he discovers his "mom and dad are rolling on the couch" and listening to his Kiss records late at night ("rolling numbers, rock-and-rolling, got my Kiss records out").[5]
In the 2007 book Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide, a section on Cheap Trick featured reviews on the top 20 stand-out tracks from the band. One track included was "Surrender", where the author John M. Borack wrote "A no-brainer selection, to be sure, but since I believe that it's clinically impossible to get tired of this rock and roll funhouse, it belongs here. A stone classic for the ages."[6]
The counter-choral of "We're all alright!", repeated four times in the final chorus of the song, has become an audience favorite, with the band members often leading the entire audience in numerous, shouted repetitions of the phrase. In a 2008 interview, Rick Nielsen stated: "When I wrote the song, the 'we're all alright' was originally only intended to refer to the four of us; that's why it comes right after the 'Bun-E/Tom/Robin/Rick's alright' section. After we started playing it live however, I came to realize that, to our audience, it was inclusive of all of us – our generation; that we're ALL alright, we survived the 60s & Vietnam & Nixon & everything, and we're all still here, playing music and having fun. That's when we started playing with it a little in concert; I'll tell ya, you get 50 – 60 thousand people screaming 'WE'RE ALL ALRIGHT!' in unison, that's a pretty positive affirmation!"[this quote needs a citation]
Cheap Trick still[when?] performs this song, and Nielsen often throws Kiss records to the audience in live performances at the moment Kiss is mentioned in the song.
Steel Pole Bath Tub covered "Surrender" in 1996, along with its original B-side "Auf Wiedersehen."[7] Terrorvision recorded "Surrender" as a B-Side to their single "Middleman". Velvet Revolver also released a cover as a B side to their single "Fall To Pieces". Becca, the daughter of David Duchovny's character, Hank Moody, in the TV series Californication, plays a cover of this song with her high school band in Season 1, Episode 9, "Filthy Lucre".
The song is one of many comic cover versions the accordion comedy rock band Those Darn Accordions have performed live.
Paw also covered it on their 1998 B-side and covers album Keep The Last Bullet For Yourself. Their version also appears on the soundtrack to the 1994 film S.F.W..
Green Day covered the song along with "Bastards of Young" by The Replacements in a live medley called "The Midwest Medley"[8]
Arma Angelus (a metalcore band that included Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, and Joseph Trohman from Fall Out Boy) made a metalcore cover of the song and renamed it "Sir Ender." Pegboy covered the song on their album Cha Cha Damore. Zebrahead covered the song on their album MFZB. However, it was only available as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the album.
Virginia punk band Ann Beretta covered the song on their 1999 album To All Our Fallen Heroes. Warrant included the song on their 2001 album Under the Influence.[9] Union performed the song live on their second album, Live from the Galaxy, and American Hi-Fi recorded it live to the delight of its Japanese audience on their album Live from Tokyo.[10][11] Psychotic Youth covered the song on their 2000 album Stereoids.[12]
Marilyn Manson's live cover of "Surrender" on MTV's Live and Loud was the first song played on MTV in 2001.[13]
Warrant covered the song for their 2001 cover album, Under The Influence.
Less Than Jake covered the song on their 2003 album Anthem and The Manges covered it on the 2005 album Acid Beaters.[14][15] Gluecifer included a version on their 2009 album B-Sides & Rarities 1994-2005.[16] Ryan Roxie performed "Surrender" on the Cheap Trick tribute album Cheap Dream: A Tribute to Cheap Trick.[17]
Cheap Trick's version of "Surrender" was also included on the soundtracks for the films Small Soldiers and Over the Edge.[18][19] Simple Plan recorded a version for the soundtrack of Fantastic Four.[20] The song was also featured in Daddy Day Care and, most recently, in Pixels and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Featured in the CBS Show Training Day (TV series)
In 2006, Rockstar Supernova contestant Storm Large performed this song on the show. The song was featured during the opening of the first episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien while Conan, who was still in New York, had to run across the country to start the show in Los Angeles. It was used again in the series finale, during a video of favourite moments from the program.
Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit performed a version of the song in April 2013 for The A.V. Club's A.V. Undercover series.[21]
The Beastie Boys album Check Your Head begins with Robin Zander's introduction of Surrender as "the first song on our new album" taken from the live Cheap Trick at Budokan album.[22]
The Norwegian punkrock band Gluecifer covered the song on their "Reversed Ep". American rock band Hawthorne Heights covered the song on a bonus EP, titled "Ohio Is For Covers".[23]
Pearl Jam has covered the song a few times over the years: as tag to "Daughter" in 1998 live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, and in full during 2016 US/Canada tour: Thu 5 May, 2016 Centre Vidéotron Quebec City, QC // Mon 2 May, 2016 Madison Square Garden New York, NY (w/ Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick)// Fri 8 Apr, 2016 BB&T Center, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Also, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready, and Jeff Ament have all been playing the song individually live with Cheap Trick in different occasions.
Comedian Natasha Leggero covered it in 2016 for Comedy Central's music special, Goddam Comedy Jam.

Listen to this in Podcast format
Previously, I gave an overview of the practice of simplifying. Simplifying is making life more simple by letting go of stuff that no longer serves you. In this post, I'll discuss a common challenge you may encounter when simplifying, emotional responses to your possessions. I will also make recommendations about how to respond in a way that honors these emotions and still lets you make progress organizing.
Have you noticed that it's easier to organize other peoples stuff than your own? Think about why this is. Other people's stuff is just objects. Hence, when you work with other people's stuff, you are completely objective. However, your own stuff is not just objects. Instead, it represents memories, failures, accomplishments, regrets, relationships, and even entire stages of life. We have emotional relationships with many of the objects we own, and so many emotional relationships of so many objects can become overwhelming, even paralyzing.
I have heard many, many examples, like these:
"Oh look, a love letter from my ex."
"That statue given to me by a friend who died."
"This is the project that got me my promotion."
"This box of papers relates to a legal battle with my former business partner."
Karen had saved all the paperwork related to a disagreement she had had with her boss at a previous job. In answering some questions I asked, and through her own introspection, she realized she was holding onto this paperwork because she was still harboring anger and resentment about the situation. When she became aware that this possession was bringing up unpleasant feelings in her and lessening her quality of life, it became easy for her to let it go.
Caroline had also saved paperwork from her previous job, even though most of it was irrelevant to her current position. As she described the paperwork and the experiences that correspond to it, a common theme emerged. At her previous job, she felt recognized and appreciated. Now, although she still does quality work, she doesn't feel validated or appreciated by her current supervisor in the same way. She realized that she was holding onto this paperwork because the memory of that past recognition helped her to feel more confident and capable in her current job. With this realization, the criteria for deciding whether to keep something or let it go were changed. Instead of keeping everything, we kept only those things which most recognized her ability, including awards, honors, and letters of appreciation, and we put them in a folder labeled "Confidence Boosters".
I could literally go on for hours with many different examples, but I think this is enough to illustrate that our possessions can bring up any kind of emotional response in us, including joy, sadness, confidence, grief, fear, anger, regret, pride, shame, and love. This is common and completely natural. I have seen many examples of tears and laughter during organizing.
Most people agree that if you lose someone you love, you will have to go through a grieving process. We recognize that the experience of this emotion, grieving, is actually a process that takes a certain amount of feeling and a certain amount of time. We recognize that if we don't grieve and don't complete the process, the grief will stay with us, you might say as unfinished business, until the process is eventually allowed to complete. Only after it's completed will it be resolved.
I believe that all emotions are like this. I believe that emotions that are not acknowledged and felt will stay with us, part of our consciousness, until eventually allowed to complete.
So if you're organizing and going through your stuff is bringing up emotions, you don't want to ignore or suppress these emotions, because that can keep them stuck. On the other hand, you don't want to get so wrapped up in feelings that you become overwhelmed and unable to make progress organizing. I created an approach which I believe is a good way to both honor the emotions and still reach your organizing goals. I summarize this approach with three words: breathe, acknowledge, and decide. Just remember B. A. D. Yeah, I know, that spells BAD. Perhaps it's an unfortunate acronym. In any case, let's take a closer look at each part.
1. Breathe. Take a deep breath. Any paramedic will tell you that when they encounter someone who's in a panic state, the first thing they say is "take a deep breath." Just taking a deep breath can significantly change someone's emotional state. You may have a tendency, when you start to experience strong emotions, to constrict your breathing and tighten your muscles. Consciously taking a deep breath will help relax that tension, create more openness, bring you more into the present, and empower you to move ahead to part two, which is acknowledge.
2. Acknowledge. Acknowledge any feelings you experience. The easiest way to do this is just to say to yourself "I'm feeling angry right now," or "I'm feeling sad right now." You could say it internally or aloud. If you're working with someone you feel comfortable with, you could choose to say it to that person as well.
I recommend using the phrase "I'm feeling angry right now" rather than the phrase "I am angry." Do you see the difference? Saying "I am angry" tends to create an identification with the emotion, and makes it harder to separate between you and the anger. On the other hand, saying "I'm feeling angry right now" creates a separation between you, who are feeling the emotion, and the emotion itself. After all, you are not the anger; you are just experiencing anger in that particular moment in time.
Here's an example of acknowledging emotions. I have a friend who taught his young son to say hello to any emotion he becomes aware of. Just to say hello to it. The boy will say "hello, fear" when he feels afraid. It's very cute. Just being aware and recognizing an emotional response is often all that is necessary to put the feeling in perspective and allow you to move forward with part three, decide.
3. Decide. After you acknowledge the emotional impact the item is having on you, then make the decision about whether the item should stay or go using the full range of decision-making faculties at your disposal. We all have many faculties we can use in decision-making, including emotions, gut instinct, objectivity, reason, intellect, and collaboration. Collaboration is asking opinions of other people. Other faculties are your desire and determination to reach your organizing goals and an awareness of what is truly important in your life. We want to acknowledge the role that emotions can play in decision-making, but call on our other faculties as well. You may have heard the advice "feel the fear and do it anyway." This phrase captures the idea, but I would state it more generally as "feel the emotions and do it anyway." "Feel the emotions and then move ahead anyway with your decision of whether this possession should stay or go."
Let's look at a few examples of this. I know from my own personal experience that I feel fear and nervousness before every presentation I do. But of course, those feelings don't stop me from doing the presentation. When I call on my other resources, like the preparation I've done, my knowledge of the subject, my experience, and my passion for the topic, my confidence and motivation becomes greater than my fear and this helps me to move ahead with the presentation.
As another example, I still feel some grief when I think of how my mother passed away at a fairly young age. After the death of any loved one, it's important to allow time for the grieving process. But eventually, there comes a time when it's important to get their affairs in order. I still feel a closeness with my family members when I remember how we were able to feel the grief and still make decisions about what to do with her possessions.
To review, breathe, acknowledge, and decide is my BAD approach to going through emotionally-charged possessions. In addition to that, I also have a bonus suggestion. Previously, I introduced the three S's of organizing, which are Simplify, Sort, and Store. The bonus suggestion involves the second S, sort. My suggestion is to sort or categorize the item based on the emotion. For example, you might create containers labeled "good memories," "makes me laugh," "I'd rather forget," or "pisses me off." In this case, acknowledging the emotion is actually built into the sorting process.
After you sort stuff in these categories, it's easy to look over these categories and get a sense of how much emotional energy you are devoting to a category. For example, you might say, "I didn't realize I was keeping so much stuff that pisses me off. I'm not sure I want to keep such a huge box of stuff that makes me angry."
Feelings are often evidence of healing. Making a decision about an object can actually be a way of helping to heal the emotional relationship it represents. It's been my experience that organizing your possessions can facilitate the healing of whatever unresolved emotion the object brings up. For example, letting go of a card that makes you feel angry can help you resolve and heal your feelings about that past experience which is the ultimate source of that anger. Deciding to keep a photo of a deceased loved one can be a way of honoring that person's memory and what they meant to you. Letting go of a gift from an ex can help create closure and let go of unresolved feelings about that past relationship. Letting go of and healing your relationship with past events will help you live more fully in the present.
That about wraps it up for this comprehensive discussion of how you can organize stuff that's emotionally-charged. Looking ahead, my next post will be devoted to the phrase I hear a lot when working with people who are simplifying, "I might use it someday." If you've ever used that phrase, I think you'll get a lot out of it, so I hope you take a look at it. Until then, may your emotions be your friend and ally on the path to getting organized.

Sims and Maggie spent a week on Islay and completely fell in love with the iland, the people, the south shore and particularly Lagavulin Bay. As the boat pulled away from Port Ellen, the town nearest Lagavulin Bay we had a good long parting moment and this song came to light. The angel's share refers to the 10% that the casks emit in the warehouses - a most glorious aroma.
The Angel's share on Lagavulin Bay
Is in the air,
and tho' I'm days away
Thru the fog ,
thru the morning mist
I taste the sea,
smell the peat,
My heart's at rest.
If I should never see those shores again
I know that I can be with Islay when
I share a wee dram with
my dearest friends
and here I'll stay on Lagavulin Bay
And in my dreams
it's Lagavulin Bay
Over the seas
and in my reckless ways
and when I'm free I hope
your heart will stay
with me with you

Japanese Cherry with Flowers Tea is a wholesome, balanced and spiritual experience. It evokes strong images of the Japanese springtime, with cherry blossoms floating in the wind. This refreshing beverage is smoother than many Chinese varieties of Green Tea, offering a slight sweetness with distinct notes of cherry, as well as being adorned with beautiful rose petals. Its unique pre-brewed appearance is best described, in terms of its Tea leaves, as long and spiky.
When brewed, it offers more still. In fact, according to modern scientific research, the consumption of Green Tea, regardless of whether it is flavoured or unflavoured, can boost the metabolism, improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risks of developing type-2 diabetes. Somehow, however, this is just the beginning.
Japanese Cherry with Flowers Tea belongs to a fascinating story, one that dates back over 1,000 years. The concept of flavouring Tea is far from a new invention, although this particular Tea is, admittedly, a recent creation. However, what it represents is where its significance lies.
The story of Tea in Japan, according to legend, began with two Buddhist monks, Saicho and Kukai, who brought young Tea trees from China to Japan many, many centuries ago. But its full potential was not realised until 1191 CE, when another Buddhist monk named Eisai popularised the idea of drinking Green Tea for good health. Years later, Eisai wrote his own book entitled "Kissa Yojoki – How to Stay Healthy by Drinking Tea".
The two-volume book was published in 1211 CE and highlighted many of the health benefits of drinking Green Tea. In one extract it read:
"Tea is the ultimate mental and medicinal remedy and has the ability to make one's life more full and complete".
Such is the way with our Japanese Cherry with Flowers Tea. Such is the way with all Japanese Green Teas, and many other types of Tea, also. Despite being hundreds of years ago, many of Eisai's theories have been proven by modern scientific research. But his journey with Tea did not stop there.
In 1214, Eisai was credited for introducing Tea to the Japanese Samurai. And soon after, not only the Samurai but also the Japanese Shogun were enjoying Green Tea. From there, it spread to the rest of Japan, and by the 17th and 18th Centuries, the Japanese were experimenting with the process of making Green Tea, inventing new ways to grow it, harvest it, and produce it.
In fact, some believe that a Japanese farmer named Nagatani Soen, who lived in the Uji region near Kyoto, was the first person to create Sencha Green Tea, although this is disputed by the Chinese, who believe it was their invention. No one knows for sure, and likely never will.
But in time, Japan's love for Green Tea gave rise to creations such as our Japanese Cherry with Flowers Tea. Today, it is one of our most popular Japanese Green Teas, and for many good reasons, too.
Type of Tea: Loose Leaf Green Tea.
Origin: Japan.
Brewing Instructions: Brew using freshly boiled water left to cool to temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees. Following this, infuse for 2 to 3 minutes.
How to Serve: Consider adding lemon to this beverage. Alternatively, enjoy as it is.
Tasting Notes: Subtle yet sweet, Japanese Cherry with Flowers Tea has defined grassy notes with a fruity twist.
Colour in Cup: Pale Green liquor, light in tone.
Health Benefits of Green Teas: Early evidence suggests that the EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) content found in Green Tea can improve brain function as well as, potentially, reduce the risks of developing Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
In one new study conducted at the University of Basel, Switzerland, Prof. Stefan Borgwardt from the Psychiatric University Clinics found that extracts of Green Tea increase the brain's effective connectivity, meaning the causal influence that one brain area exerts over another. The effect of this connectivity led also to the improvement of cognitive improvement as proven by the volunteers who, after consuming the extract, tested significantly better for memory tasks.
Until more is known, however, we do not endorse the consumption of Japanese Cherry Green Tea, or any Tea, for the purpose of reducing the risks of either Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. Instead, we support ongoing research.

Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 17 May 1816
To Lafayette
Monticello May. 17. 16
I recieved, my dear friend, yesterday evening only your letter of Jan. 21. and this day I write to a bookseller in Philadelphia to send immediately, for you, two copies of the Anonymous Review of Montesquieu, under cover to mr Gallatin, if he be not gone. in a letter to him lately, I begged of him to say to yourself and mr T. that I had not the courage to write to either of you, until I could send a copy of the work on Political economy which I have been so long endeavoring to get printed. I will state to you however the simple fact. I proposed to the same editor at Philadelphia to translate and print this, who had done the former work. he undertook it. after time enough had elapsed as I thought, to have heard of it's publication, I wrote to ask when it would appear? at such a time it was answered. it is needless1 to repeat to you the subsequent reiterated applications, excuses & promises. they ended finally in a declaration that the work was translated, but that he could not print it. I then desired a return of the work. it was sent to me with the translation. I then engaged a person in Washington to print it, offering, if he would, to revise the translation myself. he has undertaken it. but when I came to look into the translation, I found it such as had never been seen. it had been done by a person who understood neither French nor English. I entered on the correction, and had got too far into it before I became sensible it would have been shorter for me to translate it anew. I spent five hours a day on it, for between two and three months. I was able at length to make it faithful to the text, but not elegant. le premier jet rendered that impossible. it has been in the hands of the editor about a month; but as he is to send me the proof sheets for correction, successively as they come out and by mail, it will employ the summer & autumn probably. nothing has been spared which depended on me; and had I resided where the publication was undertaken, I could, by daily attentions, have soon seen into the fact and cause of delay, and have remedied them. but at the distance of 300. miles from Philadelphia, unable to get information but such as the undertaker chose to give, and through the public mail, I was quite at his mercy. still I shall think my trouble and vexations well requited by possessing my countrymen of such a work. it's principles are so profound, so logically demonstrated, and so briefly expressed, that it must become the elementary book of the world for the science of Political economy, as the other will be of that of government. the very metaphysical character of the Prefatory pieces may deter some readers not in the habit of abstract contemplation, while it will be highly satisfactory to those who are
the indications however are sufficient which shew the former where the part of the work begins which will be interesting to them,2 and levelled to comprehensions less exercised in speculations of this character. in this plain statement I hope yourself & your friend will find an apology for the delays which have taken place in sending you this work. with respect to the Commentary on Montesquieu there is a fact of some note. you are aware that the Edinburg review is considered as the ablest work of that kind which has ever been published. means were taken to place this work in the hand of the Editor. but while the work itself, & the principles of his Review permitted him to say nothing against it, it's being an American publication was ground enough to avoid saying any thing in it's favor. they have therefore not even mentioned it in their Monthly catalogue of new publications. such are the feelings of that country towards this.
Uncertain whether mr Gallatin is yet gone, & of course whether this letter will reach him in time, or go by some other conveyance, it is most prudent to say little on politics. that the violations of all rights committed on the Continent by France, under the direction of Bonaparte, as well as those on the ocean by England, merited a proper measure of retaliation and punishment, I imagine yourselves are sensible. on England it is yet to come: and on France, had it proceeded but to a reasonable length, justice would not have condemned it. but it has past that term. the continuation of it becomes aggression: and the allies have gone on to commit equal violations on independant nations with those of Bonaparte. if there were another world to do it, the same crusade ought now to be undertaken against them, which they enlisted against France. still I believe the loss of the battle of Waterloo was the salvation of France. had Bonaparte obtained the victory, his talents, his egoism, and destitution of all moral principle, would have rivetted a military despotism on your necks. in your present situation, however afflicting and humiliating, I think it certain you will effect a constitution in which the will of the nation shall have an organised controul over the actions of it's government, and it's citizens a regular protection against it's oppressions. I dare add no more, but my prayers for the event, and that your steady pursuits of this object may be rewarded by the happiness of your seeing it realised before you sing your Nunc dimittas.

Had I been properly bible indoctrinated as an infant, I probably would have recognized 23:23 sooner as a verse number and included it in my previous post on the subject. But better late than never, the connection was finally made and another whole layer of speculation added to what the 23:23 effect means, if anything.
Chapter 23 of the Book of Matthew makes for surprisingly topical reading in our modern day and age. Suffice it to say that the word "judgment" as used by ol' Matt derives from the Greek word krisis… ring a bell?
In this chapter, we find JC at his finest, the man true Christians admire and the nemesis of the holey roamin' catchalick death sect. In this diatribe, the Nazarene applies his righteous verbal fury against the "scribes and Pharisees" and makes abundantly clear his deep contempt for their ilk… unless you consider "brood of vipers" to be a compliment.
So who are these hypocrites so reviled by the anointed one? Well, scribes are the lawmakers and Pharisees are the "rule of law" tribe, so it doesn't take a great stretch to find their counterparts in the form of modern politicos and the bankster-corporatista crime syndicate.
If you're on the lookout for the second coming, here's the kind of discourse you should be listening for regarding these modern elites:
In one chapter, Matthew 23, Jesus Christ rips the scribes and Pharisees to shreds. Eight times He pronounces on them woe—defined by Webster's Dictionary as "deep suffering, grief, affliction, ruinous trouble." He dubs them "hypocrites" seven times, "blind guides" twice, "fools and blind" twice, "blind" once, "whitewashed tombs" once, and finishes His name-calling tirade by designating them "brood of vipers"!
He then accuses them of being the children of those who had killed the prophets—a heavy-duty insult considering how proud they were of their ancestry. He predicts they would do the same themselves and declares that He would have nothing to do with them until they accept and bless the ones He sends.
Source: The Weightier Matters (Part 1): Introduction (www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Library.sr/CT/ARTC/k/346/The-Weightier-Matters-Part-1-Introduction.htm)
I tend to agree that were JC here now rousing the rabble with this kind of language, he would undoubtedly be targeted for termination with extreme prejudice. It takes but one look at the land where he was born, under occupation now as it was then, with the natives punished for being children of the prophet, to understand just how gladly they would crucify him anew and a thousand times more if that's what it takes.
But let's take a closer look at verse 23:23 in particular:
Matthew 23:23 (King James Version)
23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
And here are a couple of excerpts from the same commentary cited above:
The scribes and Pharisees used the law on others like a club and perverted it for their own selfish gain. "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble" (James 1:27). How could anyone, by any stretch of the imagination, reason a way to turn this around to the point he could turn widows and orphans out of their homes, then stand in the streets as if righteous, making long prayers to God?
As used in Matthew 23:23 as a weighty matter, "judgment" is from the Greek word krisis, meaning "decision for or against" and suggesting a tribunal or formal judgment. It implies "justice." Justice has several meanings, the first of which is "impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or assignment of deserved punishment or reward." More simply, when a conflict arises among people, justice is administering what is just—"factual, reasonable, faithful, morally upright, good, fair, righteous, impartial, and legally correct."
Again, these commentaries resonate with the times, most significantly in the context of the ongoing con-omic "krisis". Make no mistake: the crisis of the 99% is an illusion foisted upon us, but the crisis of the 1% syndicate is very real, as more and more folks get wise to their con game. The 1% know the rule of critical mass better than anyone… if more than 10% of the people get educated, things start snowballing and the wigginess factor comes into play, bringing with it great uncertainty and mobs bearing torches, hempen ropes and iPhones trampling the garden petunias at 3 AM.
Regarding the 23:23 effect, which was originally understood as a temporal phenomenon, we enter a realm too speculative –even for a blog as detached from con-sensus reality as this– by relating times of day with biblical verses. Which is not to say it is completely without merit, but some other crazy will have to go down this particular rabbit hole. My worldview is flexible enough to incorporate this possibility without too many gymnastics; after all, it is either a higher application of the law of Universal symmetry or simply a figment of my own wholesome nuttiness. Either explanation is good enough for me; in fact, I don't distinguish much between the two anymore.
All I know is that right now it's 17:17, and I have absolutely no desire to know where that leads…

These creepers are so light and comfortable, and they look great too!
The modernized creeper silhouette is perfect for being low-key goth at work. I'm a 7.5 US Ladies/38 EU, ordered the 8, and the shoes fit me perfectly with no wiggle room, so they do seem to run a bit small.
I love these shoes! They are so stylish and very comfy. Just make sure to use the website's sizing chart because I had to size up and it fits perfectly. The only drawback was that I got blisters on the back of my feet while first wearing them a couple of days. So I had wear band aids to help. Other than that, I love them!
Very happy with the shoes they were described
Good fit

Blog: Critical Q&A 101 - 2017-03-26
The weekly show where I answer viewer questions left in the comments section of my Q&A shows or sent to me by email at email@example.com. This week, the questions I answer are:
(1) I recently relocated to Florida for work and I have 3 store locations that I manage in Clearwater. One is literally a block from Flag. My question is this: I have had a few Scientologists apply for positions within my company and I can tell because they have work history on their resume stating they were tour guides or what not. While I would never discriminate against anyone for their religious beliefs, I do worry more about what another employee may say to that person about their beliefs. With the Church's Fair game policy, I'm worried about a Scientology employee getting upset because a coworker is committing suppressive acts and end up with a boycott outside of my store. Is this something I should worry about or is this irrational fear?
(2) Do members of the Sea Org have ranks like sailors in real navies do? Do the ranks correspond to those in the US Navy? What was your rank? Do those with lower ranks feel bitter about it?

Curved versus straight legs?
Fork legs have traditionally been curved so as to provide sufficient trail for stable handling of the bike.
The first manufacturer to change their curved forks to a straight design was Colnago in ~1987.
As the story goes, Ernesto Colnago and the Ferrari engineers discovered that a curved fork didn't absorb road vibrations
and shocks as well as a straight bladed fork. From this testing, Colnago's PRECISA fork was born and many other brands followed,
though the dampening characteristics of straight legs remains debatable.
Today, the main reason that carbon forks are often shaped in a straight line is because it's easier to lay up the carbon and to manufacture.
Carbon forks are popular used nowadays.
Carbon Wheel and Fork Interaction
The thing to remember is that no matter what aerodynamic claims you hear, the fork and the wheel go hand-in-hand with overall aerodynamics.
Because the fork that attaches to the front wheel is at the leading edge of the bike, the front wheel throws up turbulent air.
Forks can certainly make a bike more aerodynamic, but only if the wheel interacts with the fork in a favorable manner.
BikeTechReview.com did some interesting wind tunnel testing that revealed the effectiveness of different aero forks on a constant zipp 404 wheel.
We've seen manufacturers attempt to smooth this turbulence by putting slots in the fork.
For example, Yishunbike sold their patent to this technology to YISHUNBIKE which was included in
YISHUNBIKE's time trial bike in 2008.
We also saw YISHUNBIKE introduce integrated breaks into their forks in an attempt to reduce turbulence caused by the brakes on the forks.

What are professional orchestras up to these days – what do they see as their future and mission, how do they relate to the places they find themselves in, including their communities' leisure-time groups? Could we – Making Music and its member groups – be working more closely with them?
These are some of the questions which prompted me to attend the ABO conference on members' behalf this year, and I emerge the other side of it with mixed feelings.
There are still a lot of professional ensembles which see their work as cascading classical music (old and new) to as many people as possible. They may do 'outreach' or 'education' with their communities – cementing a 'them' and 'us' perception, and perhaps patronisingly implying that we, the general public, need educating.
And then they puzzle why they are often not successful. These will be the managers insisting that the fault for not everybody loving Brahms and Mahler lies with the education system which fails to bring young people to appreciate 'proper' music.
No thought seems to be given to the fact that maybe 'the people' just want to experience their music differently, or in different spaces, or actually that there are other musicks of equivalent complexity and interest in the world which some people may just prefer to the Western classical repertoire – and quite a narrow proportion of that - still predominantly performed by the world's leading orchestras.
I am happy to report that those kinds of orchestras and managers seem to be (albeit slowly) becoming fewer. My favourite session of the conference - 'Design Your Own Orchestra' - saw participants divided into six groups to create a new orchestra from scratch, in a location with no existing professional music ensemble.
Of the six groups, only two decided to have the word 'orchestra' in their name, only one had a concert hall as their base (the rest were either moveable feasts or embedded in a school or other community hub), all of them saw no difference or choice to make between artistic excellence and social relevance, and most of them saw their mission as working with their communities to understand their needs and interests, and then facilitating those musically in many different ways, of which performances was only one.
The musicians they would engage would not only be outstanding performers but also outstanding facilitators. It reminded me that we have got into the habit of thinking the word 'orchestra' refers to the genre of music it has in the past been associated with.
But actually an orchestra is a large ensemble of excellent instrumentalists, able to broker life-changing opportunities for their communities, participants and audiences, with all sorts of music. Truly 'Crossing borders' by breaking to through the fourth wall dividing 'them', the performers, and 'us' their communities.

Yes, I am the last person in America to 'discover' Adele. It just goes to show, I am being 100% honest when I say that, if it's not on NPR, it may as well not have happened.
The hosts of Morning Edition were discussing the Grammys today, and repeatedly played excerpts of this song – which I immediately downloaded from iTunes and played on 'repeat' all the way to work. This is an awesome song for belting!!
This Tiny Desk Concert was also a topic of discussion on a recent Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast. (Rolling in the Deep starts at about 10:10).

A study shows that only a quarter of men in Arab majority societies support gender equality. The patriarchal nature of these societies comes as no surprise to most of us. Despite it being widely criticised, especially by those who have grown up in the region, there's been little to no research done to prove its existence.
That's not to say that patriarchy isn't real unless we do the research to back it, or that there hasn't been progress made to push for gender equality. In the last two years alone, we've seen Saudi Arabia finally grant women the right to drive, we've witnessed Morocco's criminalisation of sexual harassment, and a proposal of equal inheritance laws in Tunisia.
All these legislative changes are great indicators of a desire to change patriarchal attitudes, but we can't push for equality if we don't understand the ways in which patriarchal attitudes have weaved themselves in to our societies.
The UN Women collaborated with Promundo—a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting for gender equality—to release the largest ever study exploring patriarchy in the Middle East and North Africa. Taking a comparative lens to the lives of men – as sons and husbands and fathers, at home and at work, in public and private life – the study aims to better understand how they see their positions as men, and their attitudes and actions toward gender equality. Researchers interviewed 10,000 men in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine to paint a clearer picture of their views on gender equality—and here are five things they concluded.
Only a quarter of men in these countries support at least some dimensions of women's equality and empowerment.
Those who do, often hold higher levels of education and come from higher socio-economic backgrounds.
66-90 per cent of men expect a level of control over their wives (what they wear and where they go).
Over 70 per cent of men and women believe that wives should tolerate violence to keep the family together.
50 per cent of men say they support women's right to work outside of the home, but only if they remain the primary breadwinners in their households.

The definition of offering another person confidence, support, or hope. It is okay to get encouragement from others, but to be able to encourage yourself is just as vital.
I pray you are well on this glorious Thanksgiving evening. As for me and my family we are doing okay. Although I am in Houston, Texas. I am grateful for this wonderful time in my life. I want to encourage you my friend, but pray you are able to encourage yourself. There will unfortunately be times when no one will be there for you, as sad as it is.
That is when you square your shoulders and set your face as flint and pat your self on your own back, telling yourself "You can do it". It is okay to encourage yourself on a continuous basis. Yes, it is nice to have that special someone, but if you don't. That's when you take matters into your own hands.
I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving with my friend in Houston, rather than be with family. Now don't get me wrong, I love being with my daughter and grandsons. What a time I have with them, as busy as they are. My time in Houston has been good, and we made the most of our time together.
We cooked, and ate well, but trying hard not to over eat. I love this time of the year, It warms my heart to be around loved ones, but even if I couldn't, I would still be content. For I have learned to be content with such as I have, and can honestly say, I embrace my time by myself.
Having to have a Turkey and stuffing, Cranberry sauce, Sweet potato pie means nothing if you don't have peace. Just give me a peanut butter sandwich with a large cold glass of 2% milk or a good salad with a glass of Lemonade, and I am as happy as a clam.
Because I grew up in such a outrageous dis-functioning family, I adore my personal time, or just another special person I can call friend. The ideal time is kicking it with that person, eating, laughing, enjoying the night air, and the beautiful sky that God has sprinkled with stars, listening to music as we hang out on the deck, with good vibes permeating the atmosphere.
Singing to the top of our lungs and dancing to the awesome beat of the music, as if there is no care in the world. Loving each and every moment, not realizing that the time has passed us by, and what was suppose to be three hours became six hours. I am grateful for the many blessings God has bestowed upon my little gathering. It couldn't have been better, and all the Turkey wouldn't made a difference.
To the God of Grace and Mercy, the God that sits high and looks low. The God who is better than I can even imagine or hope for. I bless that God! The God who is omnipresent and omnipotent, that is the God I am ever thankful for. For all He has done and all He is going to do.
Encourage yourself in all you do, whether with friends, family, or by yourself. No matter the food, location, or funds. Take your time in traffic, be polite, don't rush, take that extra time to meditate or pray. Listen to bible verses on your cell phone or read your bible to help relax your mind. These are all great ways to encourage yourself.
Encourage Yourself: To the only wise God my Savior. I bless your holy and precious name on this beautiful day in November 22, 2018.

Commentary on the XIth Congress of the EBP: "To Analyse the Parlêtre: How to Say It Well?
For the last twenty years the EBP has commemorated this date with the rigor proper to psychoanalytic discourse. This will be present through various activities, such as the Councils meetings, the report by the Cartel of the Pass, the Clinical Conversation and -in what concerns pure psychoanalysis- the round table of the Pass. The preparatory text towards the XIth Congress, written by Marcus André Vieira (who besides being an AE in excercise is also the President of the Xth WAP Congress Rio 2016), is entitled "Subject, Object and Body: Who Speaks?". It is part of a Seminar delivered at the Rio de Janeiro Section of the EBP. Already in its first paragraph, "The Impact of Images and the Speaking Body", Marcus André points towards ENAPOL VII and opposes its title "The Empire of Images" to the "speaking body", designating the unconscious to be situated by the analyst in the current times of his practise. The XIth Congress of the EBP: "To Analyse the Parlêtre: How to Say It Well?" will be held on April 10-12 in Salvador de Bahia.
Marcus André Vieira is AE (Analyst of the School), Member of the EBP and the WAP. He is Doctor of Paris 8 University, Director of the ICP-RJ (Institute of Psychoanalytical Clinic in Rio de Janeiro) and President of the Digai-Mare Association. He was National Director of the EBP and President of the X Congress of the WAP: "the unconscious and the speaking body".
Gleuza Salomon is a member of the EBP and collaborates for Radio Lacan in Brazil.

I've been ranting about the Jean Todt and his way to lead the FIA for quite some time. Weak is the best word to describe his efforts in F1, where he doesn't really make an impact and is unable to solve their financial problems. He also doesn't seem to have an answer to the constantly falling fan numbers. And yes, while he somewhat helped WEC by finally making peace with the equally french Le Mans organizers ACO, his biggest promise, to again make WRC the glorious mud-and-tarmac festival for real men, was ignored and/or not executed properly. I mean come on, even I had some substantial ideas.
But hold on, there's good news coming: after the successful debut of a 997 GT3 rally car in Germany, where it was setting solid stage times if we keep in mind that a) it was detuned to 300hp and b) Mr. Tuthill is no WRC regular/997 Rally regular, the next event will see a Porsche battle par excellence: Porsche factory LMP1 driver Romain Dumas in his own 997 GT3 Cup vs. Porsche expert and rally driver Francois Delcour in the Tuthill 997 GT3 Cup. Also, the FIA opened up the air restrictor a bit which brings the cars up to about 350hp.
Sounds exciting, doesn't it? It gets better. Noticing that the fans loved the concept, 2015 will be the first year of a international R-GT Cup, a cup that is recognized and organized by the FIA itself. The cars will be racing on five fascinating courses, including classics like Monte Carlo, Germany and Corsica.
So what's missing? Maybe a bit of diversity. I know that Lotus has an eligible car...

Employment & Immigration Canada
Preliminary decision
Takeaways for employers
An adjudicator considering allegations of unjust dismissal under the Canada Labour Code recently ruled that an employer was prohibited from asserting dismissal for misconduct since the issue had already been decided by an employment insurance officer. The officer had awarded employment insurance benefits to the employee. The decision in Alexander v Huron Commodities Inc(1) reminds employers to proceed with caution when communicating with employment insurance officers after a termination. They should also consider the potential ramifications of not appealing an officer's decision.
On 24 January 2018 the complainant's employment was terminated. The reason for dismissal was not specified in the termination letter. On 1 February 2018 the employee received a record of employment. The stated reason for issuance of the record of employment was dismissal. The employee then applied for employment insurance benefits.
In March 2018 the officer assigned to the claim contacted both parties to determine the employee's eligibility for employment insurance benefits. During the telephone conversation, the employer told the officer that it had dismissed the employee for several reasons, including the fact that fuel was missing from the company truck that he had used. The employer never investigated or pursued this matter. Following a conversation with the employee, the officer determined that the employee had not been terminated for misconduct and was therefore entitled to receive employment insurance benefits.
On 14 March 2018 the Canada Employment Insurance Commission sent the employer a letter communicating the award of employment insurance benefits because the dismissal had not been for misconduct. It said that the employer could either provide additional information, which might vary the commission's decision or request a reconsideration. The employer did neither.
The employee filed an unjust dismissal complaint under Section 240 of the code. In response to the complaint, the employer asserted that the employee had been dismissed for his misconduct or, alternatively, his inability to adequately perform his duties.
In a preliminary hearing, the adjudicator ruled that the legal principle of issue estoppel applied. This legal principle is intended to ensure that the same issue is not re-litigated. This precluded the employer from arguing that the complainant had been dismissed for misconduct. In arriving at this conclusion, the adjudicator relied on the three-part test for applying issue estoppel:
The adjudicator applied the test to the facts and found that all three requirements had been met:
Relying on his broad discretion to apply the principle of issue estoppel, the adjudicator concluded that doing so would not result in an injustice to the employer.(3) In making this determination, the adjudicator considered the following factors to be of particular relevance:
However, the adjudicator retained jurisdiction to deal with the employer's alternative claim that the dismissal was due to the complainant's poor performance. That issue had not been decided by the employment insurance officer.
Both federally and provincially regulated employers should exercise caution when contacted by an employment insurance officer, especially when misconduct may be relevant. In such situations, employers should seek legal advice to evaluate how best to respond. Most importantly, employers should not ignore an employment insurance officer's call. Ignoring such calls may potentially prevent an employer from asserting cause in future wrongful or unjust dismissal proceedings. This may apply if an employer – after being advised of the employment insurance officer's decision to award benefits – does not provide additional information or dispute the commission's findings.

Home sweet home?
Trailer park under pressure for repairs
Joey Matthews | 3/5/2015, 7:25 p.m.
Is the city on a code enforcement witch hunt to force vulnerable Latino citizens and other poor people to move from their mobile homes, which are for many a residence of last resort?
Or are code enforcement officers merely fulfilling their duties by issuing a plethora of violations to residents at selected mobile home parks they deem hazardous to ensure they upgrade their homes for safe habitation?
The answer depends on whom you ask. This week, officers from the city's Bureau of Permits and Inspections began trailer-by-trailer inspections at the 106-unit Mobile Towne Mobile Home Park off Old Midlothian Turnpike. Mobile Towne, like many of the city's eight other mobile home parks, has a large Latino population.
It is the city's second inspection sweep of a big mobile home park during the past year.
Douglas H. Murrow, the city's commissioner of buildings, told the Free Press inspectors are going to mobile home parks that are "in the worst overall condition."
He said they look for code violations, such as banned alterations to the pre- manufactured structures and alterations of the electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems that have not been inspected by code enforcement officers and leave the mobile homes unsafe.
The city began this latest inspection campaign in February 2014 when Mr. Murrow directed six inspectors to comb through Rudd's Trailer Park off Jefferson Davis Highway in South Side for safety violations. Mr. Murrow said he chose Rudd's after fires at two mobile home parks in recent years revealed "life-safety issues." One of those fires occurred at Rudd's in 2012.
Ronnie Soffee, the 67-year-old co-owner and manager of Rudd's, said the city has unfairly targeted his mobile home park for a decade and has intensified its efforts during the past year.
"They've been increasing the pressure," with the ultimate goal to get "me and the Hispanic people out of this neighborhood," Mr. Soffee said.
Last year, code enforcement officers, accompanied by police officers, inspected nearly 100 operational trailers at Rudd's and issued about 740 safety violations.
Mr. Soffee said about 20 mobile homes were condemned and many residents were evicted and forced to leave their mobile homes because they could not afford to pay to upgrade them to meet code require- ments. Others just left, he added, out of frustration or fear they could be next.
Mr. Murrow said displaced residents are referred to the city's Department of Social Services for assistance.
A year later, Mr. Soffee said Rudd's is now down to "50-some" rent-paying mobile home residents and not all of them pay the entire amount due each month. "I tell them to pay whatever they can," Mr. Soffee said.
He said he's also in arrears on water bills and city real estate taxes, with the unpaid amounts on each well in excess of $10,000. He said he has made payments the best he could as increasing numbers of rent-paying residents move out. He showed a Free Press reporter two separate water bills from the city threatening to cut water service to park residents early this month if he did not pay at least $16,000.

Each year, the Huntington Water Department opens fire hydrants throughout the City and allows water to run through the pipes. The hydrant-flushing program is very important to the maintenance of the City's water system.
We flush hydrants for the following purposes:
There may be a temporary drop in water pressure during this time. Water may appear rusty or cloudy. This water is not harmful and will generally clear up in a few hours.
You may want to take the following precautions during this time frame.
1) Fill a bottle with water and store it in the refrigerator to use for drinking or cooking.
2) If tap water is used during flushing, it could come out full of sediment that causes discoloration. If you encounter discolored water you may want to run your water for several minutes allowing new water to work its way into your pipes. If the water is clear it's OK to use. If not, wait a few more minutes and check again. In some cases, there may be slight discoloration for a few days. This discoloration only affects the appearance of the water; it does not affect the water quality.
3) Avoid washing laundry during flushing times. Wait until the water runs clear out of the tap, then wash a load of dark clothes first. Hot water tanks can hold discolored water for some time after the cold water runs clear.
4) You may want to flush your hot water tanks after the cold water clears.
5) If pressure seems low, check your faucet screens for trapped particles.
If you see a crew flushing on your street, avoid running tap water and using the washing machine or the dishwasher until the flushing is completed. If you see hydrant-flushing crew in the area, please drive carefully and treat them like any other road construction crew.
We would like to thank the citizens of Huntington for their cooperation and patience during this time.
For additional information about water quality please call the Water Plant, at 358-2309.
If you have any questions regarding this service, please contact Annette Carroll.

The use of perfume and scented oils is well documented throughout history. Before every important event, part of a purification ceremony was cleansing and oiling the skin with scented oils which often left the wearer in a more relaxed state. Egyptians used aromatherapy scent in their funeral ceremonies. The Romans used aromatherapy scent to lure, and the Greeks for religious ceremonies. These aromatherapy scents have been known for centuries and their health benefits endure.
Feng Shui and Use of Aromatherapy Scents
Feng Shui is one form of aromatherapy scent that incorporates five basic elements of wood, fire, metal and water and each individual element represents different aspects of life. Matching each scent with different aspects of life through Feng Shui can enhance those aspects in one's life. The nasal passage is connected to the brain directly as are the senses of smell and emotions inextricably linked with one another. The smallest whiff of a fragrance will help do wonders for the human body.
Feng Shui incorporates aromatherapy scent and specially formulated scented oils can be used on the skin as well as on jewelry. Feng Shui believers believe in the wonderful effects that aromatherapy scents have on them since it helps to clear dead and stagnant energy, bringing instead, positive energy into the space where it is used or it can also be used to spice up a room.
Feng Shui aromatherapy scents are useful for relaxation, meditation, insomnia, rejuvenation and happiness. The most liked and popular aromatherapy scents are lavender, chamomile, rosewood, patchouli, cedar wood, eucalyptus and peppermint and each of these scents deal with specific problems which depend on the healing properties of the individual fragrances.
Whenever a person needs to unwind and relax, adding aromatherapy scents to the bath or diffusing it in your room will benefit the person, leaving him or her feeling balanced and relaxed. Putting a few drops of aromatherapy scent on one's temple or forehead will help in meditation as well as refill one's expended energies. Having a perfumed bath before retiring to bed at night will make one sleep better and a perfumed massage or bath can also revitalize the person, after a tiring day of work as well as freshen up the skin and body and soul.
The results of using the Feng Shui method of aromatherapy scents are best seen when placing certain aromas in different life areas of a home or work place and experiencing how it helps to enliven the place. Another popular method of using Feng Shui aromatherapy scents is to place essential oils either in a simmering pot or by using aroma rings that can be placed on a light bulb, which causes the heat from the light bulb to release scent into the air.
