Feeding the Wolf (revised)
I made small revisions to this piece on the 4th. The original can be found HERE.
There's a wolf among the sheep stalking out its prey, salivating over succulent flesh. It wants a taste, a bite, a little nip – a taste, a touch, a sip of blood to start the feast. What could be better than the sound of teeth grinding bone; a broken record sound repeating through the octaves; grinding through gritted teeth and clenched fists? Chew slowly and swallow, savor, devour. Never waste a piece of this divine dinner, this perfect plate of perceptibly human flesh. Grind away on those bones the same way a man grinds away at rocks in his way, the same way he grinds away at life until his bones are dust and his eyes are liquid goo pouring from his sockets. Cosmic revelations never leave you starry-eyed; they only cause supernovas inside your head. Nothing tastes better to the wolf than the planetary ooze dripping from your lips. The sheep are slaughtered naked patients in an asylum screaming laughter to a moon they no longer believe exists – a moon inside velveteen wings meant to encompass the world; the blindfold tightens around your eyes as he ties lace about your wrists; tight, tighter, asphyxiated against the bedposts. The sound of the sea would rock you to sleep as a child, but now the motion moves you in ways you never would've dreamed; think cosmic, orgasmic; pretend there are stars behind that blindfold, stars staring down upon you, stars and moons that don't wish you dead. Pretend there's no wolf in sheep's clothing, cloaked in velvet night with lace draped around his wrists, a Cheshire's grin upon his lips, and knives for teeth—forget how deep razorblades cut, forget how bones grind against pavement (the way chalk wore against the driveway), the way a dog grinds a bone to dust. Forget the wolf among the sheep salivating over succulent flesh; forget the cosmic revelations exploding inside your head; forget the planetary ooze that slides away beneath you; forget it and forgive it, the way the world forgets and forgives you when you die.
The full moon gives birth to the world below where the wolf stalks his prey. Through an ocean of grass he trots, his footsteps silent among the breeze, to where a lamb sits on a hill, bathed in mother's moonlight. The lamb bleats softly, its voice carried away on the breeze like its life will be carried away inside the wolf's maw; just another predator devouring its prey, taking with it more than flesh and bones, but memory too. Death steals more than breath, it steals existence, it steals memory; it creates a vacuum in the world where a beating heart once was, a vacuum quickly filled in by the atoms all vying for universal attention.
Mother Moon gazes down upon the scene as the wolf overtakes the lamb. The lamb cries out, a lost and lonely sound swallowed by the breeze passing through, collecting voices and sounds to store in another time and place. Memory is lost; a void is filled.
And yet it burns through velvet restraints and violent convulsions only remembered in the heat of passion; touch-induced paranoia. A single touch gives birth to a slew of violent memories better left forgotten, like the corpse of the lamb drying on the hill; wide, wild eyes staring into a starless sky. Associations are made where skin meets skin in the throes of agony, screams for release rent and rip the air; the sound of satin being shredded. Silk slides over the skin like honey, sweet and sensual, until its sliding down an esophagus. There it bunches up inside the windpipe as claustrophobia settles in, nettles in like the roots of an aged oak tree clinging to the earth long after due.
Mistress Memory gazes down upon the scene as the wolf enters the womb, oblivious to the bleating of the lamb leather-bound to the bedposts. The grinding begins, that hated sound of incisor on bone, of death grinding away at the gears of life, stripping them down until there's nothing left but metal hulks of ancient machinery rotting in a locked warehouse. This is how memory dies, and thrives – ground into the marrow of the mind; wounds heal and only bleed when re-opened.
Memory, a jar closed with rust and left on the shelf, covered in dust; take it down and examine the contents within, pry open the lid with a crowbar and the stench of death and decay will remind you why you left it there in the first place; why associations made between skin are left undiscovered under the sheets (woven from the sheep's skin the wolf devoured).
There are scars where the lace embraces her wrists; scars where marrow mended into fractured bones, cracks like veins running through alabaster. There are teeth marks dotting her flesh from the tower of her throat, dying along her ribcage, and petering out among her hips. Rabid red lines rip through her left cheek, a memory relived in the mirror.
She has been consumed.
In the corner he sits licking his lips, savoring the flavor of her taste; sucking the blood from his clawed fingertips. His grin reminds her of a crescent moon lying on its back being swallowed by the night sky.
She has been devoured.
This bag of bones is drowning in an ocean of silk sheets. Memory sinks into the satin pillow saturated with blood and tears, but mostly tears; fear is born of a mother with no name. The moon watches from the window, shedding light upon a murder scene (police tape, CRIME SCENE: do not cross) where the skeletons still breathe—this is how bones mend and scars heal, through tears and truth, both of which can only be uncovered in the light.
She has been healed.
And the wolf comes again with a new name, a new face, under a new moon; a starless, vacant sky like the void in her eyes.
There's a lamb among the flock with a broken leg and a battered spirit. It's sick and dying but its mother won't leave it like the others. She hovers above it like the moon, radiating ghostly light to ward off the darkness (but light never spared the scars). The wolves descend from the hills, sharp eyes waiting for weakness; unhinged jaws salivating. They want to grind their teeth into the lamb's bones until death obliterates every other memory— until a supernova explodes inside her head and stars oozes from her eyes. They want nothing more than to taste the planetary goo residing inside the lamb's flesh; truth can be found in the subtle matter coagulating in our veins. This is the wolves' truth: death. And because of this the flock flees, leaving the lamb and her mother to fend for themselves. The predator encloses its prey, cutting off memory's retreat. The only place left to go is inward, and so the lamb succumbs to self-preservation. The moon, the lamb's mother, hovers overhead watching with dying starlight eyes as her baby is consumed—singled out, soldered down by victimization alone, and swallowed, alive and bleating. Where a heart once was there now exists a vacuum, soon to be filled by all the other atoms vying for universal attention. And even as this shell, this husk of a human-lamb-being dies its memory lives on, moves into another plane, another phase where the collective unconscious lingers like a blood stain upon the carpet. This skeleton rises even as flesh dies and the crescent moon smiles because memory carries on—like the foot-soldier into battle, nothing will stop his cause. Realize then that you are not alone, little memory, your are surrounded by ghosts just like you; shimmering smoke-beams thriving in the world forever. Remember that night always follows day; remember that truth resides in you, because you exist; remember and relish it the way consciousness remembers and relishes in you when you live on.

Local candidates told Millennium Charter Academy students they are the future during a political candidate forum Tuesday. The event was part of an ongoing N.C. Kids Voting project at the school.
The format of the forum consisted of candidates introducing themselves and briefly outlining their platforms. This was followed by questions from students for state level office candidates and then questions from students for local office level candidates. The forum concluded with each of the eight candidates attending given two minutes for closing remarks.
Ric Marshall, candidate for the North Carolina State Senate 30th District seat, opened the forum.
"My platform is that North Carolina must make sure education is a part of what we fund," began Marshall. "Education is your future. We have to concentrate on having funding for schools. As you grow older you'll see people who need help. Sometimes folks just fall on hard times. Always be willing to help the person beside you. Pay it forward."
His opponent, State Sen. Don East, did not attend the forum.
North Carolina 90th House District Rep. Sarah Stevens, who is running unopposed, spoke to the students next.
"I've been an attorney by trade for 26 years," said Stevens. "One thing I have learned is that you have to know a lot about everything for this job and you have to have people who know a lot to advise you." She told the group that for instance, the state has recently lifted the cap on the number of charter schools and she has also been involved with learning about using hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas.
She said her primary job is to be sure Surry County's voice is heard in the legislature.
"My job in Raleigh is to represent you or how legislation affects you. I'm only one of 120 so I have to convince 61 others in he house and 21 in the senate to pass anything."
John Collins, candidate for the Mount Airy District county commissioners seat, reminded the students to enjoy where they are in life.
"I look back and the things I remember are elementary and high school. Be proud of your school and do the best you can every day." Collins told the students he learned to appreciate work when growing up on a farm. He said he was inspired to be a teacher by his teachers.
"There are 3,500 people out of work in Surry County," said Collins. "What can we do to help? We can create an atmosphere attractive for industry to come here. As a commissioner I want to make the best choices I can to help the most people. Maybe one day you won't have to drive to Winston-Salem for a job."
Eastern District County Commissioner candidate Dave Diamont told the group he was in his 45th year of teaching.
"I've had a great amount of experiences serving in various ways that other folks haven't had," said Diamont. "I will use these insights to move our county forward. The jobs we had when I was young are gone and will not be back. You students are our future. The jobs you will have haven't been invented yet. We are in the middle of a tremendous period of transformation."
Larry Phillips, who is also running for re-election to the Mount Airy district County Commissioners seat, pointed out it is amazing that the founding documents for the nation and state can be held in your hands.
"In this country you have rights. With this come responsibility. The rights we have come from the Lord, not the government," said Phillips, citing the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. "When the government intrudes on our God-given rights as a citizen you must stand up and say enough. Every election is important. You tell us what to do. It is your country." Phillips told the students the job market has changed and their educational skill sets are what would allow them to attain their goals.
Eastern District County Commissioners incumbent Paul Johnson told the students that he was proud of how the commissioners during his tenure had eliminated wasteful spending and gotten schools in better shape. He told the group that 33 percent of the county's budget goes to the educational system, excluding extra projects.
"I am a people person. I love to find out what my constituents think," said Johnson. "Sarah (Stevens) told you about her working with 120 others. I work with five and sometimes it's hard to get even five to agree but that's what our country is about."
Johnson said he has worked to develop statewide and national relationships to benefit the county. He said State Sen. Don East regretted not attending. Johnson reported that East is being scheduled for surgery for two collapsed discs in his back.
Candidate for County Register of Deeds Todd Harris told the students about the long tradition of service in his family. He recounted how one ancestor was wounded in the Revolutionary War.
"It's important to understand what the register of deeds does," said Harris. "We keep a record of things including marriages, land transactions and birth and death certificates." He mentioned he had several years of experience on the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners.
"If I could leave you with one message it would be that I want each of you to dream big."
Current Register of Deeds Carolyn Comer, who is running for re-election, characterized the job as being a custodian of their most important records.
"Remember we do not set policy," said Comer. "Our procedures are set by guidebooks. Anytime you are interested in coming my office is open for teachers and students to learn about what we do. I am proud to be your elected registrar. Be sure to talk with your parents about this forum and remind them to vote."
Academy Kids Voting Project Coordinator Pamela Brayley said the effort was originally suggested to local schools by Surry County Board of Elections Director Susan Jarrell. Brayley said Millennium was the only local school to take the option to implement the curriculum. The program is known at the state level as Kids Voting in North Carolina.
She said plans for election day include setting up a model voting precinct. Students will vote and the Kids Vote N.C. organization will tabulate the results and provide a breakdown of voting results by grade. Jarrell recognized the support of Carolina West and Surry Membership Telephone Corp. for the help with the kids voting project.

Hello Huskies! My name is Stephanie Schoeppel and I will be a sophomore here at UWB in the fall of 2012. I plan to major in Community Psychology and then use my degree to work with children and young adults. Outside of school, I work as a nanny because I enjoy watching kids explore and learn new things. I discovered my love for golf at the very young age of five which helped me make some wonderful friends as I played throughout my high school career. When I am not outside golfing, I also enjoy cooking, but my real passion is baking. You will usually find me decorating cupcakes, trying out a new recipe or simply baking a birthday cake for a friend. When I came to this University I was determined to get involved and have an impact on this campus, but was not sure where to start. After having an incredible Orientation Leader that made my first college experiences so amazing, I decided I wanted to be that person for someone else. That led me to right where I am now as an Orientation Leader with the opportunity to inspire others and grow as an individual. I am looking forward to a great year and hope everyone is excited to become part of the UWB family!
UW Bothell currently has more than 4,100 students.

Published May 1, 1997.
When developing our best focaccia recipe, we noticed that a couple of recipes from southern Italy added riced potato to the dough. We found that it produced a bread with moistness, a pleasantly soft texture, and a high rise, but the dough still needed more lift. We knew that sponges (relatively thin mixtures of yeast, water, and flour that are allowed to ferment briefly) are often used to lend flavor and create air holes in bread. So we tried a quick sponge with our working focaccia recipe, stirring the yeast, half the water, and a small portion of the flour together in a small bowl, then covering the bowl with plastic wrap and letting the sponge rest for 30 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. The fermentation of the sponge produced wonderfully large bubbles, and the result was a bread that rose very high and had a nice, light texture.
Rapid-rise or instant yeast reduces the preparation time by more than an hour. If you use an equal amount of regular active dry yeast instead, let the sponge in step 2 develop for thirty minutes rather than twenty, and increase the first and second rises to one and one-half hours each.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).
Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I'm pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.

Mothers day I had the honor of photographing The Race For the Cure in Philadelphia for the Susan G Komen organization. I have participated in this race for years, but got even more out of it as a photographer. Instead of walking alongside everyone, my camera really let me in to these people's lives and hearts. I met some very inspirational people, and it was a true honor to be able to photograph them empowered by the group, and hope for a cure. I hope to contribute in this way every year from now on. Here are a few images from the day, so you can get the feel of the event.

There are tons of amazing products, but I am just going to tell you about the ones that I am excited about, personally. I am not a designer, not a professional crafter... I'm just a girl who likes to make things. These are the products I want to play with.
Since I was there at the invitation of Plaid, I absolutely have to start with these Mod Podge Mod Melt forms. These are so cool!
There is a special melting stick that fits a standard glue gun. Melt the stick into the mold and when it cools you have a resin-like shape that you can paint, embellish and use on all sorts of projects. As I understand it, this won't be in stores until June, but I am chomping at the bit to play around with this.
The nice peeps at FloraCraft hosted a little breakfast one morning and let us play with their new products. It was really fun, but I'm very excited about these heated cutting tools they have.
The fabulous Candie Cooper demonstrated how to use these tools. |
The other tool is the Styro-Cutter Plus, which is a heated wire that enables you to make cuts and patterns in the middle of a piece of Styrofoam. The angle is bad in the photo, but I used this tool to burn/cut out letters in the middle of this piece. It's so cool!
I'm intrigued by this concept from Craft Attitude. It's a printable film for ink jet printers and there are different applications for wood, canvas, jewelry, shoes, magnets, fabrics, tons of things!
I really liked the application for jewelry and for shoes. It can be permanent or temporary, it just depends upon the adhesive you use. How cool are these boots? I love that you can print little tiny photos and make them into pendents too! I definitely will be playing around with this in the near future.
This stuff sounds really cool:
This is like contact paper, but it's very thin fabric. I am very excited to try this out. This is a company, Panoah, is based in Brazil, and it's my understanding that this is only available online, but think of the possibilities: subway or typographic art using fabric... re-covering shoes, books,etc... applying to pillows or picture frames... It's removable too, which gives you a lot of options.
OK, this isn't sexy, but oh my gosh is it long over due...
Some of you are saying, "Glue? Really? That's your fun new product?!" Um, yes.
I use E-6000 whenever I need a really strong bond on something. I love it, but it is some seriously stinky stuff. This one is a much lower odor.
It is also a spray adhesive that is a pump not an aerosol. When I use an aerosol spray adhesive it can be a bit hard to control where it lands. A pump would be better. (And sometimes if I am gluing something that's light or delicate, the aerosol can blow it around and mess it up if I'm not careful. And sometimes I'm not careful.)
So at any rate, these are the new items that I am most wanting to play around with. Some of them are on the market already, some of them won't be available for a couple of months, but I wanted to give you a heads up that they're coming.
Click here to see what textures, colors and people inspired me at the show.
There are more recommendations and wrap-ups of the CHA Winter 2013 Show over at Craft Test Dummies, where you'll find more comprehensive and in-depth reviews of new products all year long.
about Vivienne Wagner
Disclosure: I received some of these items for purposes of trying them out. I have not reviewed them, but am looking forward to doing so. As always, when I do it will be 100% my honest opinion.

Acting Studio bringing 'Charlie Brown' to MCL Grand
From staff reports
The Acting Studio will present four performances of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" Thursday through Saturday at Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, the latest in a growing string of musicals taking the stage at the city-run facility.
Shows start at 7 p.m. each night with a 2 p.m. Saturday performance. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for children ages 12 and younger. To order tickets visit http://ActingStudioTX.tix.com or call 817-488-0009. Advance tickets cannot be purchased at MCL Grand.
"You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" debuted in 1967 with music and lyrics by Clark Gesner, based on characters created by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in his comic strip Peanuts. It had a four-year New York run with nearly 1,600 performances and was revived with a 1998 U.S. tour.
As the play progresses, the relationships of the Peanuts characters to one another are further expanded. Lucy is infatuated with Schroeder and takes great pleasure in tormenting Charlie Brown. Linus loves his blanket. Snoopy lives in his rich imagination. Charlie Brown is in love with a mysterious red-headed girl. The show ends with each character listing things that for him or her equal happiness.
The Acting Studio is operated in Grapevine by owners Shane and Erica Peterman, both of whom are members of the Actors' Equity Association with dozens of performing credits in the United States and Europe. Professional staff at The Acting Studio teach classes in voice, dance and acting for stage and film for students of all ages, including classes for younger children ages 3-7 up through adults. Students have the opportunity to perform in local shows as well as regional tours.
For information about The Acting Studio call 817-488-0009 or visit www.ActingStudioTX.com.

UN.GIFT Publications
Human Trafficking: An Overview
Apr 29 2010
Download right click "save as"
Slowly and painfully a picture is emerging of a global crime that shames us all. Billions of dollars are being made at the expense of millions of victims of human trafficking.
The world has a strong legal weapon to fight this crime: the United Nations Anti-Human Trafficking Protocol that entered into force in December 2005. To augment this UNODC, together with five other international organizations, launched a Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT).
This report provides background on human trafficking, explains what has been achieved in the first year of UN.GIFT, and identifies challenges that lie ahead.

Blue for colored clay results
Posted 3 Jul 2012
I posted a while back in the studio section...best-blue-for-colored-clay
It seemed to be getting technical, so I'm posting the results here.
My clay fires to a glassy finish at cone 6 and only needs small amounts of stain, so I don't know how informative this is. Maybe more for glazes.
Cobalt Mason Stains:
Mazerine 6300- the darkest, but a little more on the red side. Also acts as a strong flux.
Wedgewood 6310– Not as dark, seems closer to blue, doesn't flux. Lighter shades (smaller amounts) still have noticeable red.
Zirconium Vanadium Mason Stain 6315:
Makes nice light blues, but close to turquoise. Mixing a small amount of Mazerine with it also made a nice blue.
Stains added to wedgable clay
I don't score before slip - do you?
Posted 1 Jun 2012
I only do production in spurts, but when I do, I like to keep the process as quick and simple as possible. Here are a few things that I have found, at least for my work, not to be necessary.
I did a bunch of tests back in the day, and found that scoring before adding slip wasn't necessary. I do however, have to go over the surfaces to be joined, with a wet sponge or brush a couple times, (enough to break up the surface a little), before applying slip. I have found this method to be faster, easier, and just as strong, maybe stronger..
I also don't use reinforcing coils on joints. When the slip has dried some after joining, and is still a bit sticky, but not watery, I smooth the join with a stiff brush, and that's it. On my porcelain lampshades and stoneware vases, once the slip has dried some, I will take a small tool with a rounded end, and smooth the inside vertical joins a few times, applying enough pressure to compress it a little, to prevent cracks.
Are there some traditional things, you have found not to be necessary?

Frühere Forschungen
Diese Seite wurde noch nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt. Wir bitten um Verständnis.
The NOMAD Expedition builds upon experience that the Principal Investigator has gained during previous work in the Kola Peninsula:
- A ten-year long period of research on post-Soviet transformation of reindeer husbandry in the Kola Peninsula (1995-2005) launched with the support of the Norwegian Research Council (NAVF, subsequently NFR) through co-operation with the Department of Social Anthropology at Tromsø University and the Roald Amundsen Centre for Polar Research, supported through grants from the International Northern Sea Route Program (INSROP) and the Swedish Riksbank Jubilee Fund, led by Yulian Konstantinov.
- Participation in Workpackage 9 of the EU-supported scientific project "The Challenges of Modernity for Reindeer Management", which was an example of the advantages offered by interdisciplinary research between the natural and social sciences in respect of human-Rangifer interaction.
The project also benefits from collaboration and consultation with related projects recently or currently conducted in several parts of Russia, Scandinavia and Finland, the United States of America and Canada.
Assessment of the state of the art
Current literature examining human-Rangifer (reindeer or caribou) interaction, within the disciplinary concerns of the social sciences, tends to show variation in focus and themes between the three main human-Rangifer regions -- the Russian Eurasian; Fennoscandic; and North American. The variation reflects regional preoccupations following local specifics, disciplinary histories, social, economic and political priorities. The Russian Eurasian zone is currently drawing interest in the context, primarily, of post-Soviet changes (Anderson 2000; Donahoe 2003; Gray 2001; Habeck 2005; Konstantinov 2005; Ssorin-Chaikov 2003; Stammler 2005; Ventsel 2005; Vladimirova 2006; see bibliography), while the Fennoscandic area is dominated primarily by Sami issues and the discussion of ethnicity (Beach 1981; Paine 1994; Thuen 1995). In the North American context, social science studies are mostly concerned with issues of preservation or integration of traditional ecological knowledge and the problematic of co-management of first-nation territories. Overviews would either follow again regional specific divisions (i.e. Jernsletten and Klokov 2002), or be concerned with general adaptive patterns (Krupnik 1993), or with with the perception of the environment and human-animal relations from a more theoretical point of view (Ingold 2000). With the advent of the debate about climate change, still further rifts appeared as the North American regional literature has responded with much greater alacrity and re-orientation to interdisciplinary approaches, while the situation in the Russian Eurasian region is usually described and discussed in the light of the socio-economic problems of the numerically small indigenous peoples of the Russian North.
The state of the art is thus characterized by deep fissures and regional fragmentarization. A great deal of this is to be connected with shortcomings of currently practiced fieldwork methods. These shortcomings can be briefly summarized in the following way:
- Underused comparative potential
While the use of monitoring stations in natural science research of arctic and subartic regions has become a permanent feature, qualitative social science has, as a rule, relied on mostly individual and temporary inclusion. The result is fragmentarization of effort and lack of a firm basis for longitudinal comparison between regions. - Diminished, fragmented and limited contact with the Human-Rangifer link in field conditions
As a rule, the Human-Rangifer link is observed from the vantage point of the Human, and not of the Rangifer part of the linkage. On many occasions, humans as hunters/ herders may have only sporadic seasonal contacts with rangifers, and even during these encounters may not be able or willing to take researchers along. In this way, researchers' contact with rangifers and direct observation of human-rangifer encounters is taken for granted inside and outside the academic community, but, upon closer scrutiny, may turn out to be often a sporadic, limited, or chance affair. - Absence of field-contact with the whole picture
Limitations on the field of vision grow, additionally, due to lack of field-contact with the larger picture. For a season-specific event like calving, for instance, a researcher may benefit enormously if he/she could compare with what is being done at that very moment in other parts of the Human-Rangifer universe and thus be able to form conclusions about systemic patterns of response connected with overarching fields of force, overriding local peculiarities, or idiosyncratic features. Currently, the search for universals is hampered by the very pronounced individualization of anthropological research.
The NOMAD Project is an attempt towards overcoming such shortcomings. By creating a mobile station, following the migration of Rangifer and humans, and intended for long-term multi-site use, NOMAD will increase the comparative potential of social science research by gaining experience for examining different situations over sufficiently long periods of time. Choosing to study the picture form a vantage point of close contact with a Rangifer herd -- as in traditional methods of reindeer husbandry -- the human-Rangifer link will be examined in greater depth in comparison to existing methods. The mobile station method will enhance the breadth of observation of the variety of human and non-human presences with whom the species shares its fragile northern habitat -- mainly through its interdisciplinary possibilities. Through the website, the NOMAD Blog and Forum and other outreach activities, we invite experts, researchers as well as educational establishments with interests in subarctic pastoralism, biodiversity, global change and environmental issues, to get back to us and share with us their ideas and opinions.
(Yulian Konstantinov, August 2006)

Product DescriptionAs Adolf Hitler and the Nazi's seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted the extermination of European Jews, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Widely known as the author of the classic works, The Cost of Discipleship, Life Together and, arguably, some of the most important theological works of the 20th century including Act & Being, Sanctorum Communio and Ethics. Bonhoeffer is also widely known for his 1945 execution in Flossenberg concentration camp for attempting to assassinate Hitler. Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy is the first fully comprehensive biography of Bonhoeffer in more than 40 years. Written by best-selling NY Times author Eric Metaxes, he presents both sides of Bonhoeffer's life, as theologian and as conspirator drawing them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. Presenting a deeply moving narrative, using previously unavailable documents-including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and first-hand personal accounts, Metaxas reveals dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen. Furthermore, Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffer's heart-wrenching 1939 decision to leave the safety of America for the lion's den of Hitler's Germany, and using extended excerpts from love letters and coded messages written to and from Bonhoeffer's Cell 92, we are allowed to see for the first time the full story of Bonhoeffer's passionate and tragic romance. Finally, Bonhoeffer gives witness to the extraordinary faith of an incredible human being, while also illuminating the tortured fate of a nation he sought to deliver from the evil tyranny of National Socialism, and its political party, the Nazi party. The reader will come face to face with a man determine to do the will of God radically, courageously, and even to the point of death. Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer Product Information

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffera pastor and author, known as much for such spiritual classics as The cost of Discipleship and Life Together, as for his 1945 execution in a concentration camp for his part in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in forty years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life?the theologian and the spy?to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents?including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts?to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen. In Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy?A Righteous Gentiel vs the Third Reich, Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffer's heart-wrenching 1939 decision to leave the safe haven of America for Hitler's Germany, and using extended excerpts from love letters and coded messages written to and from Bonhoeffer's Cell 92, Metaxas tells for the first time the full story of Bonhoeffer's passionate and tragic romance. Readers will discover fresh insights and revelations about his life-changing months at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and about his radical position on why Christians are obliged to stand up for the Jews. Metaxas also sheds new light on Bonhoeffer's reaction to Kristallnacht, his involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. Bonhoeffer gives witness to one man's extraordinary faith and to the tortured fate of the nation he sought to deliver from the curse of Nazism. It brings the reader face to face with a man determined to do the will of God radically, courageously, and joyfully?even to the point of death. Bonhoeffer is the story of a life framed by a passion for truth and a commitment to justice on behalf of those who face implacable evil.

Kirkus Starred Reviews
"A welcome new biography of one of the 20th centurys leading lights.
Metaxas (Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God: The Jesus Edition, 2010, etc.) magnificently captures the life of theologian and anti-Nazi activist Dietrich Bonhoeffer (19061945), who thought it the plain duty of the Christianand the privilege and honorto suffer with those who suffered. In the finest treatment of the man since Eberhard Bethges Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Man of Vision, Man of Courage (1970), Metaxas presents a complete, accessible picture of this important figure, whose story is inspiring, instructive and international in scope. Coming of age in Germany at the close of World War I, the precocious Bonhoeffer quickly became a rising star on the international theological scene. In the 1930s he became a leader of the Confessing Church movement, which stood against Hitler, and helped organize its underground seminary. He also joined the Abwehr, the German intelligence agency in which foment against Hitler was most active. Bonhoeffer took part in the conspiracy to kill Hitler, which caused his imprisonment and eventual hanging, just weeks before the end of the war. Throughout this period he also wrote some of the greatest works of practical theology to come out of the first half of the 20th century. Metaxas rightly focuses on his subjects life, not his theology, though readers will learn plenty about his theology as well. The author makes liberal use of primary sources, which bring Bonhoeffer and other characters to vivid life. For the most part, Metaxas allows this epic story to play itself out, unhindered by commentary; where he does add his own voice, the conclusions are sage. A definitive Bonhoeffer biography for the 21st century." Matthew MillerAs a caveat to this review, I must state that I am somewhat of a Bonhoeffer snob. I believe Bonhoeffer on account of his extraordinary life and stunningly insightful, orthodox, and creative theology is misunderstood by most Christians and abused in the academy, especially by theologians who overemphasize enigmatic statements made by Bonhoeffer in personal conversation. Thus, I am always skeptical of new treatments of him outside of Bethge. Upon reading this book however, I was pleasantly surprised with Metaxas' grasp of Bonhoeffer's complex life and its different stages of development. Metaxas does an outstanding job of displaying Bonhoeffer as someone struggling to live faithfully in a historical context that was mired in chaos. To this end, Metaxas' literary skill builds the story line in conjunction with the rising anxiety in Bonhoeffer's life. Unlike many treatments of Bonhoeffer, Metaxas sees, juxtaposes, and connects the different stages in Bonhoeffer's life in the linear and thematic time line around which the book is arranged. Though not exhaustive (like Bethge), Metaxas effectively and powerfully tells Bonhoeffer's story. Highlights include Metaxas' treatment of Bonhoeffer as a pastor (and as a children's and youth pastor!), his American journeys, and his relationships with Bishop George Bell of Chichester and Karl Barth, Metaxas' ongoing perception that Bonhoeffer was a Jeremiah like figure speaking God's word in a world that had forgotten Him and, lastly, Metaxas fair (finally!) treatment of Christianity and its place in the Third Reich namely, that it was used by the Nazi's when it constituted a viable political power tool, but that in reality it was summarily despised and hated by the Nazi ilk. Metaxas also provides a stinging account of the German Christians displaying them as nothing more than useless and ineffectual pawns. As a whole This book is a perfect substitute for anyone who though interested in the Bonhoeffer story, was put off by the enormity and detail of the Bethge biography (though that biography is worth every second of attention). Matthew Miller -Christianbook.com/academicblog Wall Street JournalIn Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy Eric Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication, often challenging revisionist accounts that make Bonhoeffer out to be a "humanist" or ethicist for whom religious doctrine was easily disposable. In "Bonhoeffer" we meet a complex, provocative figure: an orthodox Christian who, at a grave historical moment, rejected what he called "cheap grace"belief without bold and sacrificial action.
Since the 1960s, some of Bonhoeffer's admirers have seized upon a phrase from one of his letters"religionless Christianity"to argue that he favored social action over theology. In fact, Bonhoeffer used the phrase to suggest the kind of ritualistic and over-intellectualized faith that had failed to prevent the rise of Hitler. It was precisely religionless Christianity that he worried about. After a 1939 visit to New York's Riverside Church, a citadel of social-gospel liberalism, he wrote that he was stunned by the "self-indulgent" and "idolatrous religion" that he saw there. "I have no doubt at all that one day the storm will blow with full force on this religious hand-out," he wrote, "if God himself is still anywhere on the scene." -Joseph Laconte King's College, NYC Wall Street Journal World MagazineWorld Magazine names Bonhoeffer runner-up for its annual Book of the Year Award
Our runner-up for book of the year is Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy (April 2010, Thomas Nelson), by Eric Metaxas. This year brings the 65th anniversary of the Nazi hanging of Dietrich Bonhoeffer for his attempt to overthrow Adolf Hitler, and that martyrdom is well knownbut Metaxas illuminates, mile by mile, the road to full resistance. Early this summer the book rose to The New York Times bestseller list, suggesting contemporary resonance with its 20th century themes...
"...Metaxas illuminates Bonhoeffer's belief that "it was the role of the church to speak for those who could not speak." He fought Nazi attacks on Jews and called for "costly grace" by which Christians would give up comfortable lives to follow Christ's call: "Costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life." Metaxas lays out the cost and Bonhoeffer's willingness to meet it over nearly 600 thorough but immaculately readable pages. We can pray that none of us will have to face the choices that Bonhoeffer faced. We can pray that if we do, we'll be willing to pay the price." ChristianBookPreviews.comFew books have enjoyed the acclaim that Bonhoefferby Eric Metaxas has garnered this year. Multiple news shows have invited Metaxas to come in and share about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Even President George Bush has taken on Metaxas' book as his personal reading project. Sales of the book have been beyond the wildest expectations for a biography from a Christian publisher. Having recently read Bonhoeffer, I can honestly say all of the acclaim and praise that the book is getting is truly deserved.
Bonhoeffer is a powerful book. In many ways, Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with such passion and urgency that one could easily mistake the book as a novel. The book begins by sharing about Bonhoeffers family and his early years. It quickly moves along into Dietrich's youth and early adulthood. As Bonhoeffer comes of age, his native Germany moves more and more toward Nazi rule. As the evils of Hitler rise, so does the character of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to oppose the lies of the Nazi party and its influence on the church. The reader is able to see Bonhoeffer's courage in the face of tremendous opposition and in the end the reader witnesses Dietrich's death for his Christian convictions. Bonhoeffer is thoroughly Christian without being preachy. This is because Metaxas writes this book as a witness to an amazing man and that man's witness to God, allowing Bonhoeffer's life to speak for itself. He tells of his struggles and his victories. Whether we see Bonhoeffer's passion for spiritual development of his trainees in the Confessing Church or his desperate pursuit of a place to worship that preached theologically grounded sermons when he came to America, we come to discover a man full of Christian conviction. By the end of the book, we discover a genius, scholar, and leader that refused to flee from evil in the world, but fought against evil courageously. The reader is left longing for their life to matter in the same way that Bonhoeffers did. Bonhoeffer is not an easy read. The text is nearly 600 pages long. At times, reading about the middle of Bonhoeffers life can be tedious. Both of these realities may be enough to scare some readers off. However, those scared off by the book's size and thoroughness will be missing out. Metaxas has written a biography that will not only be treasured by the person who purchases the book today. This book will be a book that grows in influence and respect in both faith and academic circles for years to come.

Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronCourtney L.FloridaHairMedium BrownNormal HairHigh End Vs. Drug StoreWhile many of you may think this curling iron is on the more expensive side...I promise you, it is well worth it! After buying this, you will most likely NEVER want to use a curling iron with a clip ever again. The packaging itself impressed me, as well as the bonus heat protecting glove it came with.
Having pin straight hair, it's often hard for normal curling irons to hold curl (if they even curl my hair at all). This lasts me all day...and even until the next day! Straightening my hair takes me normally 10 minutes, and curling it now only takes me 15 minutes! I cannot say enough positive things about this curling iron.
I have tried out many brands and products. This is honestly the best curling iron I have ever tried. Plus it comes with a two year warranty, and in my experience with drugstore curling irons...a warranty is ALWAYS good! Generally, my irons start to become broken between 6 months-1 year.posted Mar 17, 2011Link to this post -

Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronNikki H.NashvilleHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairPerfect For Hard-to-curl Hair!This is the first time I've tried a 19mm clipless curling iron and I LOVE it! I have hard-to-curl hair and this product absolutely MASTERS a sultry curl that doesn't fall within a few hours.This product is easy to use and is very lightweight, unlike my normal curling irons with clamps. You can also control the heat settings on the iron from High to Low heat depending on the type of curl you want. Another thing I love about this curling iron is that it fully heats up in less that 30 seconds and doesn't take long to cool down.There was a heat proof glove included in the box that is very convenient and makes it easier to control the curling process. Also, both the hand grip and kickstand are made of a heat-resistant material that don't accidentally burn you! I love that! This is my second Sedu product and I am thoroughly impressed, especially with their 2 year warranties. I highly recommend this product!posted Mar 16, 2011Link to this post

You should totally run the Cooper River Bridge run in Charleston, SC next April! It's a 10k and the whole run is gorgeous! It's mostly flat except for the climb up the bridge. They also have tons of live music set up throughout the course. It also helps that there are at least a billion bars nearby so you can drink your face off when you finish!

Another tiny site where I'd be very hesitant to join and play.
Send them an email about the entry. Win some money there and get it out ASAP and you are done with them is the route I'd go.
Whenever you join a site and encounter customer service that is only 'good' when you are depositing and where their customer service leaves a lot to be desired that should set off alarm bells.

We are talking about a rhythm, a pace, a stride that gains strength and force as we move forward and things happen in our lives.
Do you ever notice how much energy little kids have? Seriously, it is like they have had an IV of sugar injected into them in the middle of the night, so by the time they wake up they are raring to go! They are full of life and excited about what the new day will bring. They chase the ice cream truck, fly kites, climb trees, and splash in mud puddles. Their life is about momentum.
Kids know how to have a good time. Most of the time they seem happy and run around without a care in the world. They don't stress, because they know their needs will be met for the most part. On the other hand, adults can be all over the place. One minute we are up and going, and the next minute we are down and out; one minute we are happy about life, and the next minute we are discouraged. We get down and out and discouraged when setbacks cause a break in our stride, our pace, our momentum.
My goal is to help you get your momentum back if you've lost it and sustain it if you already are experiencing it. Your life isn't meant to be a series of disappointments, nor is it intended to be ordinary and stuck in a rut. However, stuff happens! You are not perfect, and thank God, He knows that. He has an extraordinary plan to bring you through the rough spots so you can keep your momentum.
"I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." Jeremiah 29:11 MSG
