The results are in! You may have seen my last post discussing a survey question I sent out to my youth network asking what their favorite part about being a young Witch or Pagan is. The results were surprising to most but I can't say I was very surprised. However, the results of this survey question did surprise me a little.
To a network of thousands of young people on social media and email, I asked "what is the biggest challenge for you, being a young Witch or Pagan?" I received over sixty responses within 48 hours. Here is a small sampling of the responses:
For me it's age-hate from older pagans. 'you're too young to have an opinion!...you can't know more than me, I'm 30 years older than you!....quit trying to argue your beliefs you're a little kid!' I think it's horrid and ridiculous to think age = knowledge and the right to an opinion. Everyone has opinions and their own beliefs. And who knows, maybe that 21 year old witch has been studying since they were 15...that's 6 years. Whereas that 45 year old Witch could have only just been shown the path of Witchcraft. I also find a lack of resources horrid...most teen-focused books are 'spells for teenage witches who want to smite their bullies with magic' etc.
...Picking up where I left off my previous blog about PantheaCon –
On Saturday evening I went to a workshop called "Taking Up the Veil," with Xochiquetzal Duti Odinsdaughter.[1] The description in the program intrigued me:
Try the Doors
Long term trauma, shamanism, bodhisattvas. Alice down the rabbit hole sees a tiny door. Hear me when I say, "You will triumph."
If trauma is the door to shamanism, can long-term trauma make you a bodhisattva?
Yes, I made a joke. But not entirely.
What doors do you neglect?
What door is in front of you right this second?
I wrote this blog as a contribution to recent discussions of polytheism vs. monotheism on PaganSquare when I noticed several people asserting that "most pagans" are "polytheists." I do not call myself a polytheist because while I affirm a multiplicity of images, for me they all point to a single divine presence in the world. I offer the below musings in a spirit of dialogue. I am interested to hear from those who call themselves "polytheists" whether they are speaking of a plurality of images and stories pointing to a "unity of being" or whether they are also saying that there are a "plurality of (sometimes) conflicting forces" that they would call "divinities."
In Rebirth of the Goddess I noted that monotheists were the ones who defined the term polytheism and wondered if in fact there really were any polytheists in the history of the world. I posed this question because monotheists assert that polytheists not only worship or honor a "diversity of images," but also insist that polytheists believe that there are a "diversity of conflicting and competing powers" in the world. Monotheists might even go so far as to say that polytheists deny that there is a "unity of being" underlying all of the diversity and difference in the world.
For me the notion that "the world is the body of Goddess" (or divinity) is more primary than multiply elaborated images, names, and stories about divine beings. I am less moved by myths of Goddesses and Gods than I am by images of the Goddess that incorporate plant and animal as well as human qualities. In one sense I am closer to animism than polytheism. It is the beauty of the world that moves me to reverence.
In recent years monotheism has been attacked as a "totalizing discourse" that justifies the domination of others in the name of a universal truth. In addition, from the Bible to the present day some have used their own definitions of "exclusive monotheism" to disparage the religions of others. Moreover, feminists have come to recognize that monotheism as we know it has been a "male monotheism" that for the most part excludes female symbols and metaphors for God. With all of this going against monotheism, who would want to affirm it?
This is part III of what will be a three or four part series on the social implications of Pagan religion.
Some Pagans probably found my previous essay on alternative forms of economic organization, such as the Mondragon workers cooperatives, far removed from a strictly Pagan site's expected interests. At first glance it does seem far removed. Here is why I think it is not and in fact goes directly to who we are.
Among the world's Pagan traditions NeoPaganism is particularly open to coexisting happily with the modern world. Our roots are in this world and most of us do not look backwards towards earlier Pagan times as being in most respects preferable to modernity. But there is one important point where we clash fundamentally with modernity's dominant attitudes, be they of the left or the right. We see, and many of us have powerfully experienced, the world as inspirited. Not only human beings are expressions of Spirit, so is the world itself. In sharpest contrast, the modern worldview treats the natural world as a storehouse of resources that acquires what value it has by serving us.
..."We need rituals of memory…because a political movement, the public policy and tactics of our movement, does not come from our ideas, but from the bloody and joyful substance of our lives. We need to be conscious about what our lives have been, to grieve and to honor our strength, in order to break out of the past into the future." –Minnie Bruce Pratt
Last year, I was feeling depressed and discouraged after reading some really horrifying articles about incredible, unimaginable violence and brutality against women in Papua New Guinea who are accused of being witches as well as a book about human trafficking around the world (I wrote about this book in a post for Pagan Families). Then, I finished listening to David Hillman on Voices of the Sacred Feminine, in which he issued a strong call to action to the pagan community and to "witches" in the U.S. to do something about this violence, essentially stating that it is "your fault" and that rather than spending energy on having rituals to improve one's love life (for example), modern witches should be taking to the streets and bringing abusers to justice. And, he asserts, the fact that they don't, shows that they don't really "believe"—believe in their own powers or in their own Goddess(es).
This brought me back to a conversation I had with a friend before one of our last women's circle gathering…does it really matter that we do this or is it a self-indulgence? We concluded that it does matter. That actively creating the kind of woman-affirming world we want to live in is a worthy, and even holy, task. I've successfully created a women's subculture for myself and those around me that comes from an ecofeminist worldview. However, is that actually creating change? Or, is that just operating within the confines of a damaging, restrictive, and oppressive social and political structure? Last time I facilitated a Cakes for the Queen of Heaven series, I made a mistake when I was talking and said, "in the land that I come from…" rather than saying, "in my perspective" or "in my worldview." This is now a joke amongst my circle of friends, we will say, "in my land…that isn't what happens," or "let me tell you what it is like in my land." I have to feel like that DOES make a difference. If we can share "our land" with others, isn't change possible? Doesn't "our land" have inherent value that is worth promoting, protecting, and populating?
Healing a family rift is a tricky thing, especially when it's something that you didn't know you wanted at the time you should be wanting it. It's a matter of acknowledging a missing piece of yourself when you thought you were whole in the first place.
I thought I was whole and ready to marry my fiancé. I thought a lot of things. And I thought I could do it without my father and stepfamily in my life. And I was wrong.
Backstory: I hadn't spoken to my father in 15 years prior to 2 days before my sister's wedding last year. I knew he would be there. I knew I would have to face him. Knowing I would have to didn't make things any easier... it was something I would have to face head-on.
This past week has been a tough one on the household budget. If money flows, then my household was at the top of a hill watching it flow down and away at an alarming rate. When money is leaving faster than it's arriving, it can lead to some interesting reactions . . . such as a stronger urge to spend what you've got, to stock up for bad times. Or to choke off the flow entirely and preserve what you've got, even though this will also likely stop the inward flow as well.
It's hard to save money when it feels like you don't have any.
On the other hand, it's a good week for this moneyworking Hellenist to continue saving anyway. Last week found me saving on Noumenia, and today is the eighth day of the Hellenic month, sacred to my patron Poseidon, who is the financial securer. I needed this reminder that money's flow cannot be stanched in one direction only, and that security should not be confused with stagnation.
...You are a graceful goddess, our Earth:
poised on tiny feet, powerfully hipped,
you sing a song of becoming as you dance,
Money is a power that we have given disproportionate influence in our lives. One of the ways that some people -- Pagans and others -- try to deal with that is through voluntary poverty, avoiding the stuff entirely, or as much as possible. It's a choice that is controversial and poorly understood, and its impact isn't entirely clear. As part of my money ministry, I'm trying to wrap my head around the many ways we can relate to it, including its rejection.
One thing that has become apparent to me is that there are limits on how much one can change through voluntary poverty or other money-avoidance schemes, such as simplicity and joining an intentional community which doesn't use it internally. That limit is explained nicely by Lynne Twist in her book, The Soul of Money. In the first chapter, Twist tells the tale of Chumpi Washikiat, a member of the Achuar people of the Amazon, who has been designated by his community to go out into the world and learn about money. He moved into the author's home in the United States to do so. Twist writes,
"His education about money was more on the level of inhaling. Everywhere he went, the language and meaning of money filled the air, from billboards, advertisements, and commercials, to price cards on muffins at the local bakery. In conversations with other students he learned about their hopes, dreams, and prospects for life after graduation, or as they put it, 'life in the real world' -- the money world. He began to see how it is in America: that virtually everything in our lives and every choice we make -- the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we live in, the schools we attend, the word we do, the futures we dream, whether we marry or not, or have children or not, even matters of love -- everything is influenced by this thing called money."
I opened up my Facebook account today and was greeted by a long discussion focusing on cultural appropriation, vis-a-vis belly dancing. It appeared to be based on a Salon article titled "Why I can't stand white belly dancers."
The first thing that struck me was the confrontational nature of the headline: It wasn't belly dancing performed by white people that the author couldn't stand, it was the belly dancers themselves. If this doesn't put people on the defensive, I don't know what will. Then again, it's part of the inflammatory nature of online "journalism" these days, which uses hot-button language to increase the number of hits. (Full disclosure: I'm white, but I'm no belly dancer, and belly dancing isn't something I go out of my way to watch.)
The author of the article describes an instance in which "a white woman came out in Arab drag — because that's what that is, when a person who's not Arab wears genie pants and a bra and heavy eye makeup and Arabic jewelry, or jewelry that is meant to read as 'Arabic' because it's metallic and shiny and has squiggles of some kind — and began to belly-dance."
...Thanks to all you pancake-eaters out there: this week here in Minneapolis we had our first above-freezing temperatures in over two months.
Was Winter really appeased by our offerings? Do the gods hear prayer?
Reply hazy: try again later.
But whether they do, or whether they don't, we make our prayers and offerings because that's what we do. That's what our people have always done; they're part of our spiritual technology.
And pancakes sure are good food.
At the time of writing, several friends of mine are engaged in formal initiation proceedings, leading me to consider my own experiences with initiations. It was easy to pinpoint those formal initiations such as being initiated into the National Honor Society, or being initiated into a co-ed social group at my college that I can only explain as being modeled on the Merry Pranksters. But the experience that first came to mind when thinking of initiatory experiences was working the Twelve Steps.
Anyone who has a desire to stop using can become a member of a Twelve Step group. You do not have to work the Twelve Steps. However, the process of working the Twelve Steps is the manner in which one draws closer to the program or becomes truly initiated. It is how we begin to view fellowship as family. Since we work the Twelve Steps with a sponsor, we are forced to reach our hand out and ask for help. No longer are we able to sit in the back of the room, not talking to anyone. We must make connections in order to move forward. As we reveal ourselves to our sponsor, we learn how to become open and more vulnerable. We become open to taking suggestions, and learn about humility. These are essential elements for being part of a society instead of being a party of one. Not only does the process of the Twelve Steps change us into better people, but we also learn how to be with people as we work the steps.
The many tales of underworld descents provide a poetic structure through which to understand a program of recovery. Much of what we do is painful, and involves spelunking around in some of the darker neighborhoods of our psyche. If we persist, at the end of the experience we are reborn. As in the Sumerian tale of Inanna's descent, there are seven gates (steps) we must pass through in the Recovery version of the Underworld, and at each of them we must turn over some part of ourselves just as Inanna was required to turn over a symbol of her power and wealth. In Step One, we hand over our attachment to the idea that we shall ever be able to exercise any power over our drinking or drugging. In Step Two, we give up the specter of self-sufficiency. In step Three, we turn over our will and our lives. We hand over denial and self-delusion in Step Four, and in Step Five we part ways with our pride. In Step six we relinquish our attachment to our character defects, and then in Step Seven we actually ask for them to be removed. As Inanna became stripped of the symbols of her holy priestesshood, so too do we become more naked and vulnerable as we go along. When we question, as Inanna did, why we have to do this or that, our sponsors or old-timer's might snap at us as the Chief Gatekeeper, Neti, snapped at Inanna, "Quiet Inanna, the ways of the Underworld are perfect. They may not be questioned." We've all met the Big Book thumpers who talk like this!
...Pre-dawn yoga. As we flowed from pose to pose, the teacher's words emerged from the rhythm of her own movement: "Since we were in the womb…the universe has never stopped… supporting us. That's why…we are still…alive."
I knew in my bones it was true. Looking at the moon, wandering the woods, touching the earth, I find that truth again. When I disappoint myself, I know the trees and the sky do not judge. Good or bad, I am held in the web of life and known by an awareness that goes beyond my own.
The other truth I know is that "surrender rules the gods." Not in the literal sense of compelling the deities, but in the sense of finding power within through ceding outward control. I think of Shiva lying down on the battlefield where his lover Kali raged, trusting that when she came to attack, she would recognize him and drop her weapons. I think of Odin, pierced by his own spear, hanging on the World Tree to gain the runes.
...The following practice was developed through my experimentation as a Yogi and meditator. Most mature practitioners, I think, will identify with my experience of working in prescribed ways for many years until I had gained enough "life creds" to begin adapting the techniques to suit my own inner promptings. Those who insist on slavish adherence to rock-ribbed, inflexible traditions may complain that our altering the old ways makes us apostates; but it seems to me that every famous spiritual teacher we can think of was exactly that sort of innovator. If the great religious, philosophical and scientific lights of our civilization had ceaselessly followed the old paradigms without adding some breakthrough insights of their own, we wouldn't be honoring their names today!
Another way of expressing this is, "Make it your own." For example, in order to convincingly portray a character such as Hamlet, whose story everyone knows and whom thousands of great actors have played in the past, today's actor must "make it his own." He must find the core truths about the part which resonate for him. If he is successful, his fresh insight will stimulate thought in others and make it worthwhile for audiences to buy tickets.
The same is true of any significant goal which we wish to achieve in our lives. Until we make it our own, we'll just be photocopying what so many others have already done before us. It's the difference between the beginner practicing scales and the maestro imbuing a concerto with soul. I would like to offer you a little concerto of my devising, with the hope that it may inspire you to create your own unique variation.
...Creativity is my passion and the inspiration of the Nine Greek Muses has touched my life and those within it profoundly. This energy set the stage for my pursuit of a classical ballet career, ignited my love of music and stimulated my hunger for great literature. Heeding their call to inspiration has been the fertile ground from which the seeds of the efforts of my writing have blossomed and grown into a continual source of pride and joy in the sharing. With the coming of the Spring and the creativity of God and Goddess ready to reveal itself the call of the Muses is strong and clear in its intent to inspire; ready to awaken and weave their magick within all who answer.
This is the first of a series of articles about the Nine Greek Muses of inspiration and their impact on magickal and mundane practice. Their gifts of music, art and literature became the tools of expression that have continued to be the means through which humanity interacts, responds and finds resonance with our surroundings and others. And, my hope is that you will find the place of resonance within yourself as you embark on a journey of creative exploration with me.
The Nine Muses were Greek Goddesses who ruled over the arts and sciences and offered inspiration in those subjects. They were the daughters of Zeus, Lord of all Gods, and the Titaness, Mnemosyne, who was the personification of memory. The Muses have appeared throughout history and the development of cultural and artistic ages in varying numbers and attributes. Homer refers to them as one Muse and as many Muses, living on Olympus. Plato lists eight muses connected with eight mythical spheres. And, the Greek poet, Hesiod whose epic poem The Theogony relates the Greek Cosmology and order of the Gods, refers to them as the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, who were born in Pieria, which is described as watered by the springs flowing from Olympus.
The restaurant — hole-in-the-wall with age-darkened brick wallpaper, old-lady peony-pink damask table cloths, the color my Chicago adopted grandmother used to like in homemade church blouses, eyelet white lace curtains festooned with paper ribbons in the ceiling, entwined with silk flower vines, glitter easter-eggs, feather butterflies in "old-lady chic" the guidebook calls it, ribbons hanging from the trophy animals, dusty green-red pheasant I can't see his tail, two deer heads with gold mardi gras beads wrapped 'round dead necks and antlers, soft orange carrot salad a feast of hunter's stew between potato pancakes plump meat chunks tucked in a surprise the old man with Andy Warhol hair arguing cheerfully with the middle-aged waiter reading a conservative fantasy novel, this food is better than your mother's he says with a straight face, expecting the rejoinder as my husband checks out, tart herbaceous currant juice, the color of crushed berries — it tastes like secrets –
Uni is the supreme goddess of the Etruscan pantheon. She is part of a ruling triad together with her husband, Tinia, and the goddess Menrva. The Etruscans were distinct culture that occupied a region north of Rome. They were most likely an aboriginal people conquered by a Near Eastern culture which was then influenced by Greek traders (as I understand it any way). Originally they overshadowed their Roman neighbors who took on a lot of the Etruscan culture, especially religiously. Eventually the Etruscans became subordinate to the Romans and essentially disappeared into the Roman Empire.
I spent a bit of time in my garden yesterday, and one emotion overwhelmed me more than any other: despair, and yearning.
Well, that's a bit dramatic. But I've been doing a fair amount of thinking about the Wheel and how it relates to my practice, and the seasons too, and this season is definitely my least favourite. For me, the seasons are intrinsically connected to my practice, which is indeed earth-centred and intimately connected with the land. Working with, and not against, the land can be a challenge at times. Especially when the seasons turn harsh and the spiritual struggles that accompany, particularly the sense of 'waiting' can be the bane of the more impatient amongst us!

- Markets in Turkey did see some turmoil in the wake of the Fed decision, prompting the country's central bank to step-in and pledge support for the lira. The move comes as economists grow increasingly concerned with what one analyst recently called "the continued complexity of [the central bank's] policy scheme." Turkey ETF: TUR.

- Thai stocks (THD, TF, TTF) rise 0.5% in Bangkok. The country's senate overwhelmingly rejected an amnesty bill that may have paved the way for former leader Thaksin Shinawatra to return to Thailand without serving a jail sentence. For more on the bill, see here.
- Meanwhile, Indonesian stocks (IDX, IDXJ, EIDO) sink 1.4% to a five-week low as foreign investors dump shares for a seventh consecutive day. Bank Indonesia hiked its benchmark rate by 25 bps to 7.5% (a four-year high), in an effort to demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice at least some economic growth for currency stability and a healthier current-account balance. Full Bank Indonesia statement.
- Elsewhere, the PSEi (EPHE) rallies nearly 1% as some say Typhoon Haiyan will likely not meaningfully slow economic momentum in the Philippines despite the enormous toll it's taken in terms of human suffering (an estimated 1.4% GDP hit apparently doesn't look so bad when you've recorded 7% growth for fourth consecutive quarters).

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.
Fresh: A heartfelt, if self-consciously derivative drama of human loneliness.
Fresh: The film is not entirely logical, but it raises pleasing questions and looks beautiful.
Fresh: They do make 'em like they used to - a fresh blast of old-school sci-fi, bursting with ideas and a stellar turn from Rockwell.
Customer Reviews
Simply Stunning
Easily one of the better sci-fi films to come out in the past decade. Sam Rockwell performs on screen like I've expected him to; with a style and sense of acting ability that is far too rare. His past work speaks for itself, and this work of art is no different. Everything about this film exudes talent. Kevin Spacy does a phenomenal job as Gerty, the robot helper looking after Sam. The computer work and set design feels completely realistic. And on a side note, I really loved how they represented the computer screens, very clean and organic. The art and graphic design is excellent.
It's just a shame that I can't buy this until January, but it's worth the wait. This film, is simply stunning.
Award season
Nominate Sam Rockwell for best actor and Kevin Spacey for best voice-over of an actor sounding like a robot, playing a robot, using his normal voice.
Really Good Movie
This is an incredible movie. It isn't boring and keeps you watching the whole time because of its great story and acting. buy it

This is a study that I would really love to love. Barbara Anderson, PhD and her colleagues at Ohio State University found a 59% reduced risk of dying and a 45% reduced risk of recurrence among women with breast cancer who participated in a support group. As many of you know, I love good support groups, facilitate five of them, and am convinced that, for some women, they are the best possible kind of support and understanding. However, I am sadly skeptical that participation can make an impact on physical health. On emotional health? You bet, absolutely. The importance of being with others in a similar situation, feeling understood and valued, having a safe sanctuary cannot be over-emphasized.
This reminds me, however, of the famous study by David Spiegel, MD from Stanford many years ago. Dr Spiegel studied women with Stage IV breast cancer who attended groups and found a significant survival advantage for them. However, when a number of people tried to reproduce those results at other places, they could not do so.
Here is the report on this new study. Read it with a grain of salt, but do consider joining a group. They are wonderful.

Psychosocial Therapy Effects in Breast Cancer Questioned
By Kristina Fiore, Staff Writer, MedPage Today
June 11, 2010
Cancer experts are wary of a new study that links psychosocial interventions with improved survival in breast cancer. The study, published in Clinical Cancer Research, found a 59% reduced risk of dying from recurrent breast cancer among women involved in such interventions. But researchers warn that the study was small, and touts questionable effects on the immune system.
"I'm concerned because I think it's really misleading to breast cancer patients," said James Coyne, PhD, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and co-leader of the Abramson Cancer Center Cancer Control and Outcomes program, who was not involved in the study. "We only wish it were true that the mind has important influence over the body in cancer, but it doesn't,"
he said.
The study by Barbara L. Andersen, PhD, of Ohio State University, in Columbus, and colleagues is an analysis of longer-term data from a previous assessment. In 2008, they found positive psychological, social, immune, and health benefits among patients in an intervention, compared with controls. They said these patients also had a 45% reduced risk of recurrence. So the researchers wanted to see whether the intervention arm would also have longer survival. By October 2007, 62 of the original 227 patients had disease recurrence.
A total of 41 were available for analysis -- 23 in the intervention group and 18 controls.
The intervention had been conducted in groups of eight to 12 patients led by clinical psychologists. It included relaxation training, positive ways to cope with stress and cancer-related difficulties (such as fatigue), methods to maximize social support, and strategies for improving both health behaviors (such as diet and exercise) and adherence to cancer treatments. A total of 26 sessions comprising 39 therapy hours were delivered over 12 months. Patients were reassessed every four months during year one, every six months during years two to five, and annually thereafter.
Andersen and colleagues found a 59% reduced risk of death following recurrence for the intervention arm (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.83, P=0.014). All patients responded with significant psychological distress at recurrence diagnosis, but thereafter only the intervention arm improved (P<0.023), and the researchers said that "after the shock of diagnosis, the
intervention arm patients may have drawn upon strategies they had learned for reducing stress and coping positively."
In terms of immune system responses, the researchers found significantly higher levels of certain biomarkers in the intervention group (natural killer cell cytotoxicity, concanavlin A blastogenesis, and phytohemagglutinin blastogenesis: P=0.001, P=0.021, and P=0.007, respectively). However, the researchers cautioned that it remains to be seen whether immunity as measured here is critical to survival of breast cancer patients.
Coyne said the immune effects seen in the study were "pretty trivial." In addition, he emphasized that researchers are unsure of the "complex role" that the immune system plays in cancer. "We don't know when it's on the side of the tumor or on the side of the patient," he said. Some aggressive tumors, for example, enlist the immune system for self-protection.
Coyne, who has conducted a review of the literature on outcomes in such interventions, added that no study that had survival as an endpoint ahead of time has ever found an effect. Also, many studies have had confounding effects from medical treatment.
For instance, patients involved in interventions may get better medical attention "because their therapist was talking to their oncologist," he said.
Alyson Moadel, PhD, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y., conducted the first NIH-funded study of the effects of yoga on cancer patients and is involved in the center's psychosocial oncology program.
She said the current study had too small a size to generalize to the larger breast cancer population, and it also failed to measure adherence to the intervention.
"I agree that it is too preliminary to conclude that psychosocial interventions improve survival without replicating this study in a much larger sample and knowing about adherence to the intervention," she said, but added that it's not without value.
"I would say that this study offers empirical support that such interventions may go beyond promoting only quality of life," she said, "but further research is needed."

"Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's." (WEY NAS) Mark 11:22 And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith. (BBE) Mark 12:14 So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly.

They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation." (See NIV) Luke 20:21 So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly. (WEY) Luke 20:25 He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (WEB KJV WEY ASV BBE DBY WBS NAS RSV NIV) Luke 20:36 for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again. (See NIV) Luke 22:69 But from this time forward the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of God's omnipotence." (WEY) Luke 23:35 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, the Chosen One." (WEY BBE) John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: (WEB) John 1:51 "I tell you all in most solemn truth," He added, "that you shall see Heaven opened wide, and God's angels going up, and coming down to the Son of Man." (WEY BBE) John 3:18 He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son. (WEY NIV) John 3:34 For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations." (WEY BBE) John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him. (WEY BBE NIV) John 4:10 "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

(WEY) John 7:17 If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself. (BBE NIV) John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

(WEY BBE NIV) John 11:4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it." (WEB NIV) John 11:27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."

(WEY) Acts 6:7 Meanwhile God's Message continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem very greatly increased, and very many priests obeyed the faith. (WEY) Acts 6:8 Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. (See NIV) Acts 7:46 who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob; (See NAS NIV) Acts 7:55 But, full of the Holy Spirit and looking up to Heaven, Stephen saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand. (WEY) Acts 7:56 "I can see Heaven wide open," he said, "and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand." (WEY) Acts 8:4 Those, however, who were scattered abroad went from place to place spreading the Good News of God's Message; (WEY) Acts 8:14 When the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had accepted God's Message, they sent Peter and John to visit them. (WEY) Acts 8:20 "Perish your money and yourself," replied Peter, "because you have imagined that you can obtain God's free gift with money! (WEY) Acts 8:21 No part or lot have you in this matter, for your heart is not right in God's sight. (WEY) Acts 9:32 Now Peter, as he went to town after town, came down also to God's people at Lud. (WEY) Acts 9:41 Then, giving her his hand, he raised her to her feet and, calling to him God's people and the widows, he gave her back to them alive. (WEY) Acts 10:33 "Immediately, therefore, I sent to you, and I thank you heartily for having come. That is why all of us are now assembled here in God's presence, to listen to what the Lord has commanded you to say." (WEY) Acts 11:1 Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message; (WEY) Acts 11:17 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?' (See NAS) Acts 12:22 And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's. (DBY)

Minicamp is over and we're down to one more practice session before camp in July.
So, let's chat. Join Times-Picayune beat reporters Mike Triplett and Brian Allee-Walsh for a Saints chat at noon today.
You make a good point considering every team or at least the majority including the Saints have an upgrade at the TE position i.e. Gonzalez at Atlanta, Winslow at Tampa and of course Shockey at the Saints. Seems like we need a young aggressive OLB but, Fujita did say he, Shanle, was smart.. so I guess brains replace athletic ability in football....
I don't know how Mike can defend Scott Shanle.
I understand he plays real well on the field and makes plays in PRACTICE!
Doesn't he watch the games when large runs are to be had at critical points in the game - Scott Shanle is 90% of the time there?
It's not bashing its about getting truly veteran players in to compete.
Brooks would be an excellent coach as well as player to those "mental" mistakes on the part of Shanle.
I can't see why anyone would defend Shale, either...
But... okay, let's see how Shanle does this year.
I hope GW can turn him into a play maker. We'll see when we play the Eagles. They are going to have to stop the run quickly and blitz. It won't get done consistently without the help of Shanle, so we will see then.
Shanle really played horribly last season ... I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and not call for his head any further because G-dub is there and hopefully knows what's he's doin... but from here to say thay one of the Flinstones (copyright of Xman...) is the starter I don't believe it for one second, whatever TP says...
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
I'll lay off the talk about Shanle as well and give him chance this year.
I guess another real reason those plays take place is because of coaching and recognizing when a player is tired.
Same with offense, Payton called an end-around in the Philadelphia playoff game which Reggie Bush fumbled almost giving away the game. He had been banged up all game and at point in time - it was a real tiring play to do that in the fourth quater.
Same with defense, if they can keep their linebackers fresh and get them ALL up the speed. Move Dunbar and rotate the other linebacker to the first team for training purposes instead of playing favorites.
Its a bold face lie that Payton says he plays his best players.
Payton is holding Dunbar's development back because Dunbar plays and excels at special teams. There is no one else to replace Dunbar - because Shanle can't do that because of lack of speed.
i'm sick of the linebacker talk..........you guys want to rip apart every area? are you kidding? we added linemean and dbacks.........you cant address the entire defense in a single season.......OBVIOUSLY the linebackers are respectable and the backs have been horrible in the past THREE years (remember Fred Thomas in 2006?....he was worse than Jason David in 07 and 08).........if you address the line and the backfield then the linebackers have a whole lot less to worry about in terms of ball placement........the linebackers are only as good as the lineman and backs........we DO NOT NEED BROOKS....WE DO NOT NEED MORE LINEBACKERS....................please just get over it.........what we need is consistency in coverage and pressure...and this is not what linebackers are for in williams' scheme..........brooks was a leader......we have a leader in vilma........you cant mix a leader with a leader.......it would be like bringing in merimann......you cant have two chiefs at the same position or you lose the hierarchy........its very logical WHEN YOU THINK!!!....please try to think before you blogg people you make yourselves seem so retarded

Just. Be. Enough.
A friend of mine has started a new website to,
"carry the weight of empowerment instead of the weight of our flaws on our shoulders"
I want to share. I mostly want to share because for every 20 posts that bloggers link up here, Bellflower Books will donate a memory book through Crickett's Answer to a woman fighting breast cancer.
But I want to share because lately I've been trying REALLY REALLY hard to simply accept that I can't do everything.
I've been trying to be a good community member for my DC Moms friends but all I can come up with is a few minutes a week to browse the email digest and post things like, "I suck." to the group. Why do I feel like I suck? Because I simply can't offer people a lot of support right now. I'm struggling to keep up with the bare minimum in my own life.
I want to give more.
I want to give more to my online community, to the school, to my husband, my kids, my mom....
But right now, I can't.
And somehow, I have to be ok with that.
Whether anyone else is or not.
That's my reality.
I have to believe my worth is not measured in how much of myself I give to others. Because I can't give much, until I've taken care of myself.
It's like the oxygen mask on the airplane. First you put your mask on, then you put the mask on the child.
It's all I can offer right now.
And it's enough.
For more really cool posts visit Just. Be. Enough.

Expo Chicago
This September, EXPO CHICAGO
, the International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art, will once again present over 120 leading international galleries at Festival Hall at Navy Pier. These exceptional galleries represent 16 different countries and 35 different cities, offering a broad spectrum of modern and contemporary artwork. Building on the success of the exposition's inaugural year, EXPO CHICAGO/2013 will ensure Chicago's place as an annual international fair destination.
EXPO CHICAGO's design-forward interior and layout, conceived by MacArthur Fellow
Jeanne Gang (Studio Gang Architects)
of Chicago, will once again set the tone for an elegant setting, underscoring the extraordinary work presented by the exhibiting galleries.
Recognizing the importance of both established and emerging galleries, EXPO CHICAGO also presents
, a special section of the fair reserved for newer galleries. Each gallery will highlight one or two artists from their program. This is a fantastic opportunity for these emerging galleries to gain critical visibility and for visitors to discover new talent. In 2013, all participating galleries must have been in operation for seven years or less.
A key element of the exposition's innovative artistic programming,
the large-scale and site specific artwork program returns
under the direction of Shamim M. Momim, director, curator, and co-founder, of LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division). IN/SITU showcases the work throughout Festival Hall. In 2012, independent curator, Michael Ned Holte (co-curator of the Hammer Biennial) led the inaugural program, which featured notable works by Tony Feher and Robert Barry.
In 2013, EXPO will continue to partner with some of the city's leading institutions for exclusive tours, special exhibition and events. These partners include The Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The School of the Art Institute, the Renaissance Society, and over 30 others.
In the exposition's inaugural year, the
series of discussions by leading critics, artists, and curators (including New York critic
Jerry Saltz
and LA-based artist
Sterling Ruby
) stirred conversation and generated new excitement for modern and contemporary art and artists. This year, EXPO will once again, in conjunction with The School of the Art Institute, present an impressive program of leading experts.
Following the exposition in 2012, and speaking on behalf of EXPO CHICAGO's inaugural Civic Committee, led by honorary Chair Mayor Rahm Emanuel, chairman Jack Guthman effused, "Having such a prestigious group of business and arts leaders support us in our first year sends a message that Chicago wholeheartedly supports a fair of the finest caliber.

I spent this year's peak foliage time manufacturing jewelry for the holiday season so before it was fully gone Brian and I took a walk on one of Portland's many trails to enjoy the outdoors before everything's covered in snow.
It was about a two hour walk, but to be fair it was mostly that long because I insisted on stopping every half mile to pick up a handful of leaves and throw them into the air like the little kid that I am. Hot damn I love autumn!

Playing A Weak Hand Well
Suzanne D. Vernon, PhD Scientific Director The CFIDS Association of America
XMRV was not detected in a third follow-up study from a well-characterized cohort of CFS subjects. In a paper published on February 25, 2010 in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) titled, Prevalence of xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome in the Netherlands: retrospective analysis of samples from an established cohort, Frank van Kuppeveld and an expert team of microbiologists and clinical investigators failed to find evidence of XMRV. This team used a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that could detect as few as 10 copies of XMRV in 100,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to test PBMCs from 32 CFS patients and 43 controls.
The CFS cases were enrolled from 1991 to 1992, satisfied Oxford Criteria (published in 1991), were severely ill with debilitating fatigue of at least one year, and reported duration of symptoms ranging from 2 to 45 years. The controls were neighbors selected by the CFS subjects, the same sex as and within two years of age of the CFS subject. This study used a well-characterized cohort, well-processed and preserved blood samples and a sensitive technique. Its weakness is the small sample size. Use of the less-restrictive Oxford criteria may be objectionable by current standards, but samples were collected before publication of either the Fukuda research criteria (1994) or the Canadian clinical definition (2003). So far all the XMRV studies have used banked CFS samples.
With the third negative study published in just 51 days, it is now harder to explain the negative results based on CFS patient characteristics and methods alone. The implication is that XMRV is likely to explain a subset of CFS rather than all cases defined as CFS (using any of the seven existing definitions). The PLoS ONE paper by Erlwein, et al, the Retrovirology paper by Groom, et al, and now the van Kuppeveld, et al, paper in BMJ all studied well-characterized patient cohorts that met accepted and widely used CFS case definition criteria. Importantly, many if not most of the CFS patients selected for these XMRV studies have been the subjects of other CFS studies by experienced investigators. While the CFS subjects from these three studies may be different from the CFS subjects in the Science paper by Lombardi, et al, there certainly must have been some overlap between the cohorts chosen. Put another way, it is unlikely that case definition criteria alone accounts for the discrepant results ranging now from three negative studies to one study that found 67 percent of the CFS patients and 4 percent of healthy controls to be positive for XMRV.
The authors of the Dutch study go into a fair amount of detail to describe why they think their methods do not account for differences in the studys outcomes compared to the original XMRV study. Here is a brief, yet still pretty technical summary of their methods: they performed a real-time PCR test with the same primers as the original study. Positive and negative controls were included in each of the runs and they used a 22Rv1 XMRV-positive prostate cancer cell line to ensure that they could detect positives. They used a similar amount of nucleic acid as the original study to hunt for XMRV. The samples from all the CFS patients and controls tested negative for two different XMRV genes encoding integrase and gag proteins.
History has taught us the absolute importance of impeccable study design in looking for infectious agents as a possible cause of CFS. Back in 1991, Elaine DeFreitas, PhD, and colleagues published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they had detected retroviral sequences related to human T-lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) in two-thirds of 31 CFS patients, compared with zero positive findings in 20 controls. This report was not confirmed by other investigators who found the same rate of these HTLV-II-like sequences in controls and CFS cases and the search for viral markers chilled for several years thereafter.
The study by Lombardi et al, published in Science showed that XMRV could be detected in samples from the WPI repository. Unlike the negative XMRV studies where results and characteristics of these CFS cohorts have been the subject of numerous earlier publications, little is known about the patient samples stored in this repository. The Science papers supplement refers to a variety of abnormalities without defining how they were measured or how uniformly they show up among the patients whose samples are stored there. The supplement makes reference to DeFreitass PNAS publication. Does this mean that WPI tested the same samples as DeFreitas, et al, or that they were obtained from the same cluster outbreaks mentioned in her paper? We do not know. We also know nothing about the controls reported in the Science paper from the published literature. Because the study design and the methods provided in the Science paper and supplemental material are lacking in detail, it makes it challenging for any investigator, no matter how expert, to replicate this study. Its not plausible to expect that researchers will piece together information about case selection or laboratory methods posted only to websites or delivered in presentations given to lay audiences to design the methods for serious replication or validation studies.
Since reliable, consistent information about the Science cohort has not been forthcoming, I have carefully analyzed data provided in the Science paper, its supplement and public presentations by two of the authors. The WPI investigators conducted a number of assays to detect XMRV DNA, protein, infectious virus and antibodies against XMRV. I used the patient ID numbers provided in the paper's figures to track results. Of the 101 CFS subjects reported in the paper, results for the various assays are shown for only 32 CFS subjects. Of the 32 CFS subjects whose results for any of the tests are displayed, 12 CFS subjects were positive for XMRV on more than one assay. The other 20 CFS subjects were documented as positive by just one testing method. Using information from a public presentation at the federal CFS Advisory Committee, four of the 12 CFS subjects (WPI 1118, 1150, 1199 and 1125) included in the Science paper were also reported to have cancer either lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma or myelodysplasia. The presentation reported that 17 WPI repository CFS subjects with cancer had tested positive for XMRV. This once again raises questions about the lack of detailed clinical characteristics of the CFS subjects included in the Science paper, and the differing public reports about where the samples originated.
XMRV is a newly described virus that infects humans. There may be virus variability making it difficult to detect, and it may be more easily found in organ tissues rather than blood. There are going to be numerous technical, biologic and epidemiologic challenges associated with linking XMRV to CFS and other diseases including prostate cancer. Whether XMRV is in any way associated with CFS will be the subject of further investigation. But these investigations must be designed appropriately and impeccably. Investigators from several U.S. institutions reported outcomes from recent XMRV studies at the 17th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2010), including infecting and establishing chronic XMRV infection in rhesus monkeys. Interestingly, XMRV was localized to the reproductive and lymphoid organs in these animals.
Time and precious resources are being consumed by studies in which the results are controversial ones. The CFIDS Association of America is working diligently to foster the type of well-designed studies of CFS and XMRV that will provide definitive grounds for moving forward on this hypothesis so that history does not repeat itself. True to our mission statement, we will continue to lead, support and conduct research with integrity, innovation and purpose in order to make CFS widely understood, diagnosable, curable and preventable.
