Free Range Anglican
Musings on homeschooling, theology, parenting, Anglican Church in North America, Pittsburgh, family, arts and crafts, Korea, poetry, photography and whatever else gets trapped between my ears. My world is eclectic. I think everyone's is or ought to be.
Monday, October 20, 2014
I stumbled across a photograph today which was supposed to represent homeschooling. A mother was drawing a clock on a chalkboard and in the foreground we see the backs of three little attentive blonde heads of varying ages, no doubt in rapt wonder over the miracle that is time.
And I thought to myself, homeschooling is dreadfully inefficient.
If you want efficiency there is nothing like a school building. All the little students (future products) are grouped together by need (academic or otherwise) in order that one teacher might impart information into several minds at once.
More efficient, were it equally optimized, would be the internet, where there would be no limit to receiving minds. Like a line of cars at the gas station students could arrive en masse and teachers could just fill 'em up.
Homeschooling is dreadfully inefficient. I should be teaching my production line what I know best, and line my own up with all the other little products in the great educational marketplace.
But it is internet education, which is the classroom efficiency blown out of scale, that shows exactly the flaw in the argument. You see, I teach motivated students online. They're adults, and they're engaged. And they learn.
Still, I don't feel they learn as well as they'd learn in a classroom. They cannot see what I demonstrate. Asking a simple question in a lecture is a production. They cannot find study partners in their classes or sense that I am genuine when I tell them they are doing well. They don't have a foundation for staying at the table when they struggle. In short, they don't have a relationship with their instructor or their classmates, and in doing so they lose an aspect of their relationship with the material.
Learning happens best in community, in relationship. Every single anti-homeschooling zealot on the planet will agree to that.
But the internet classroom demonstrates where the relationship flaw lies. Efficiency is the opposite of relationship. Efficiency is quick and task oriented. Relationship is a slow plodding stream of contact hours, conversations and even at times conflict. Relationship is people oriented.
The flaw in the efficiency argument is that homeschooling is the ultimate in relational education. The teacher is trusted and known, the learning and wonder are mutual and shared. Correction and struggle are accomplished in direct relationship. It is slow, plodding education.
Make no mistake, the inefficiency of schooling is at times necessary, at times even preferred. But even then, the element of trust and relationship makes the excellent schools look dreadfully inefficient. We all want schools where we're more than a number, but those schools make demands on our lives that many do not want. Community and relationship are built on the athletic field as much as in the classroom.
By the end of next May I will have dedicated about 2340 days of my life to the formal education of my eldest son. 2340 days, one largely indistinguishable from the one before it, but somehow we plodded along from counting buttons to calculus, from phonics to Plato, one day at a time.
That's no more days than a public school would require, no fewer. But in slow plodding relationship, somehow, a small child became a man. And he doesn't see life very efficiently at all, but he has become a man along the way. And I look forward to the next phase of our relationship.

Just do it....
I want to apologize for my absence.
And especially for not blogging about the genocide of Christians in Iraq, because it needs to be blogged. I know a lot of you are aware anyway, because you're that kind of readers.
And you probably want to know how you can help, because you're also that kind of readers.
So now, without further ado:
How you can help Iraqi Christians through the Anglican Relief and Development Fund. For those of you who aren't Anglican, that's okay... I know these folks. I trust them. They are making use of a global Anglican fellowship to get aid to those who need it! Nothing less that awesome.

A few worthy quotes....
"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." St. Paul to the Philippians (2:3-4)
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35
Treat them royally...
Love one another...
Count others more significant...
Maybe this Anglican experiment might work.
Maybe we can stitch back the fabric of the last thousand years.
Or put otherwise, "we cannot claim that our division is anything less than a scandal and an obstacle to our proclaiming the Gospel of salvation to the world." Pope Francis to Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby

A New Archbishop
And I'm encouraged.
And most of what encourages me has to do with the currently difficult topic of women's ordination. Archbishop-elect Beach does not ordain women to the priesthood. But that's neither here nor there. What encourages me is this:
- The folks who felt marginalized by Archbishop Duncan's pro-ordination-of-women stance and practice will feel a sense of returned balance.
- The folks who were uneasy enough to consider walking away from the table will no longer have this as a motivation to destabilize the ACNA.
Those things are good and helpful, but even more importantly, I have already seen and heard encouraging signs:
- Everywhere I looked at today's reception I found bishops who don't ordain women greeting women clergy as friends and respected co-laborers in God's vineyard. Do not tell me these guys are misogynist jerks; these are men who love all people but have discerned through prayer and study that they should not be ordaining women. I may not agree with them, but I sure do respect them.
- And then I turned to Facebook and heard from the other side of the equation, as women priests, who I also love and respect, who have long been conditioned to fear an archbishop who might not support them, poured out their support and kind words for Archbishop-elect Beach. This election was not about their rights to an ordination (no one has a right to be ordained) but about the good of the church and goodwill among Christians and even respect for godly authority.
And so today, both sides are showing their best sides. And I'm encouraged. Maybe we can keep it up all week, by God's grace, and enjoy the upcoming Assembly on a high note. Oh there will always be internet trolls, no doubt, but if we don't feed them, they will have to be quieter.
And after all, now we can say:
"Life's a Beach... and so's the Archbishop."
Congratulations, Archbishop-Elect Foley Beach. Here's to the next five years!

Transgender priest to preach at National Cathedral
The Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge, the Episcopal chaplain at Boston University, will be a guest preacher on Sunday. He'll be the first openly transgender priest to preach from Canterbury Pulpit at the cathedral.
The Right Rev. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, will preside at the service. It's part of the cathedral's celebration of LGBT pride month.
The service will also include readings and prayers from members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The Very Rev. Gary Hall, dean of the cathedral, says he hopes Partridge's appearance "will send a symbolic message in support of greater equality for the transgender community."
(borrowed from Foxnews.com)
You know, just when I think enough has been said, the world has moved on, and what's done is done... something like this happens to remind me that liberals are throwing the rest of the church under the bus day by day.
None of these names are new to me. Cameron Partridge is surely setting him/herself up to be the first gender confused bishop of TEC. That's neither secret nor surprise. The Attention-Deficit church of what seems like a good idea at the moment is looking for its next starlet.
Pride itself being one of the seven deadly sins, 'goeth before a fall' and most clearly cometh along right after a fall also, has no place in a "national" cathedral. Sexual sin has no place flaunted about in a church.
Anyway, I guess I should leave the commentary to the pundits. I put this here for your information, nothing more.

Last day of school....
*The math teacher, who was a brand new teacher this year, has decided to quit and become a nun. (Not kidding!)
*The boy conned the History teacher out of a broken down electric water cooler on the last day of school. You should have seen him dragging it across the parking lot in the rain shouting "Hey, mom, look what Mr. ***** gave me!!!"
*The religion teacher, whose exams were always cheerfully entitled "Nice Little Quiz" doesn't teach 7th grade, so we'll miss him next year.
*The Latin teacher does teach 7th grade, so he's probably spending the summer taking up drinking. He also has a new baby in his house, so perhaps he should make it a double.
*The building is still standing. Though the construction on the new place is not done, at least the boy's damage impact has been minimal.
*He has stained a total of four dress code shirts, lost one gym shirt, and outgrown every single pair of pants (including gym pants) and shoes that he started the year with. I won't count the notebooks destroyed, plus a couple of backpacks (thankfully none of those started the year new... I know this kid) and two pairs of glasses (the first under warranty, thankfully, and the second was about the right time to just get a new prescription... whew). Sixth grade boys grow like that plant in Little Shop of Horrors... I remembered that from my first kid.
So on towards 7th grade. Look out world.

Cooking oil spray....
A conversation with my eight year old...
revealing the importance of being shaped by the insanity of our forebears....
M: I need to spray oil on this. I'll use this cocoanut oil. Can you open it for me? Which side does it spray out?
Me: The side with the hole in it.
M: You mean with the red dot?
Me: Yes, there's a red dot there to make it more obvious so you don't miss it and spray oil all over yourself... like your great-grandy did, only paint. She accidentally painted herself.
And so I ended up telling my youngest about how his great-grandmother somehow missed all the cues on the spray paint can and instead of spray painting the furniture she was aiming for, painted her face and hands in one fell swoop. And then, in perfect Grandy fashion, she couldn't get the door open (paint on her hands) and so ran screaming toward the kitchen window to alert (read: Frighten the heck out of) my mother so she would let her in to wash up.
My parents told me family stories growing up because they were 1. utterly hysterical and 2. often a fabulous example of what not to do. My dad talked about "teaching a dog to drive" and taking apart his gym teacher's car to reassemble it on the school balcony. Yup. My mom told about the goofy things her mother did and how dad's teaching a dog to drive was more successful than anyone attempting to teach Grandy to drive.
And except for my mom, all the main characters in those stories are gone now. And my kids don't know these people who, for better or worse, still impact their lives.
And so I'm glad my parents told me stories.
I try to remember to tell my kids.
And I put this here as a reminder to you to do the same.
And be careful which way the spray can points. You just never know....

Any DineLA Reviews?
- truefoodie Feb 7, 2008 01:55 PM
With a precious few days to DineLa left (although I have heard it rumored that some restaurants will be voluntarily offerring their DineLa menus all month!) has anyone had a DineLA meal that exceeded or fell miserably short of your expectations? Pray tell. Please post.
I thought Dal Rae's was pretty great. We had the lunch special for $22 last Friday. Started with the crab stuffed artichoke hearts, and ahi on toasts (both excellent). Main course, the parmesean encrusted whitefish with ben sauce and the short rib (very large portion), each came with mashed potatoes and baby vegetables. Dessert was creme brulee and a tiramisu. FANTASIC deal for an excellent lunch.
I have been to Table 8 - I really liked this place, the vibe, the ambiance - very typical LA. The food was good, however it was missing the "wow" factor.
Circa 55 on the other hand, disappointed me. What they served were just average hotel room service kind of food, in my opinion. Over seasoned meat, overcooked vegetables, weird desserts.
Ruth's Chris - this was a bargain! Seared ahi tuna, petit filet, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, chocolate sin cake. Generous portions and simply good food.
I'm hittin' up Nick+Stef tomorrow (in Downtown).
I guess, overall I would say LA tried way too hard with restaurant week. Like I said before, I'd give it a break though since its it's first year doing restaurant week. They're not as impressive as NYC or San Francisco's restaurant weeks though (which I highly recommend).
The big difference between restaurant week in LA and restaurant week in NYC is that humans can actually get in to the LA restaurants. In NYC, they usually severely limit the number of prix fixe tables.
We have been to:
Sushi Roku
Started with a plate of three appetizers, and not three bite-sized tastes either. Followed with a generous assortment of Sushi and ended with some taste-free sorbet.
Vin Bar Valentino
Greeted at the door by Piero Selvaggio who told us that since the DineLA response was so huge, he would seat us in the restaurant. Of course, at Valentino it was a four course dinner. Among the things we has were a delicious duck ragu wrapped in a crepe and lightly sauced -- probably the most delicious thing we've had. My wife started with a little pizza that was also great. This was followed by a shrimp and clam tortelloni, then a very delicious shortrib that was braised then somehow caramelized. Chocolate cake was a good ending. The service was pretty much what you would expect here -- your personal team of unindicted co-conspirators.
Table 8
A very nice room. Friendly staff. The food was pretty ordinary. A toasted boucheron and onion salad followed by okay shortribs. Desert was an extremely chocolate cake in dulce de leche sauce that was the best thing of the evening.
Il Moro
Why is this place so slow. It seems to be their thing. Our three course meal took well over two hours. The food was very good, starting with housemade sausage on polenta that was really tasty. Next was a lobster and shrimp tortaloni in a pink sauce that was delicious, but extremely rich. Desert was a chocolate semifreddo.
Ruth's Chris - Beverly Hills
Actually, I think that our table was in Riverside, or Siberia. We were definitely in the cheap seats. Aside from that, the meat was great and the portions were generous. I had the seared tuna appetizer that was excellent, and my wife started with a so-so ceasar salad. We both had the filet as our entree and we split the sides - creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes... I think about a pint of heavy cream between them -- yum. The filets were way bigger than the advertised six ounces (which would have been plenty) and they were perfect. We finished with a double order of chocolate sin cake, one of which we ate there and the other for home. Wines by the glass at this restaurant were very pricey mostly $12-$20 per glass, but there were some excellent bottles on the list and we had a very nice Cote-Rotie that was only $44. Service was excellent, despite our outer orbit table.
Tonight we are going to Chaya Brasserie and tomorrow Beacon.
This might be my favorite food event, ever.
re: highermath
Did Lawry's Prime Rib on Tuesday night. (would not have been my first choice, but some friends really wanted to go). Although they didn't have a printed menu for Dine LA....and the server did try to convince it the price wasn't THAT good of a deal....the four of us did choose that menu. It's basically the 6 oz. cut of prime rib (with salad in "spinning bowl" and mashed spuds) for $34....instead of $31. BUT the Dine LA menu included dessert--choice of hot fudge sundae, creme brule and something else. (sorry...brain freeze) It was actually quite good....that prime rib is tasty. And the place was packed....but I think it is always packed. Kind of a fun retro evening....and I was glad I revisited the place after several years.
went to napa valley grill last night. very good meals. the portions were big. had jumbo seared scallops as the first course. a sirloin steak (generous size) as the second course. a chocolate sampler as the third choice. in addition, they have wine pairings for only $12 more. very good deal. i'd highly recommend.
re: cdub
Agreed with Napa Valley Grille - both appetizers were delicious and the steak was juicy and generously portioned. Both desserts were great too.
Also, if you sign up for their eClub on their Web site, you can get a free flight of wine.
re: ElJeffe
Ditto. Had been wanting to try it since its opening, but was quite undershelmed myself at this experience. Went with a group of four, tried everything on the menu. Tiny portions. So-so on taste.
The best part of the dinner for me was their bread service. I think I had two of their rosemary rolls, served warm from the oven. Need I say more?
Table 8 is extending the menu all month (I am almost hesitant to post that because I am afraid not to be able to get reservations to go back). I ate there once before and was underwhelmed, but I found tonight's meal delicious and a fantastic value. I had a boucheron salad to start, and my dining companion had roasted broccoli with prawns. Both had a nice depth of flavor, although I wasn't crazy about the consistency to which my cheese had been pan fried. I had short ribs with creamy swiss chard and gratineed potatoes as my main and thought it was quite flavorful, even if it didn't barrel me over. My friend had the duck and raved about it. The dulce de leche chocolate cake was perfect-- gooey and warm but with little chocolate shavings to give it some crunch and texture. The tres leches was good, light and subtle, but I might go for the panna cotta on the next round.
Bonus: they have wine pairings ($28, I think) and a delicious-looking cocktail menu (which I did not get to sample as I had more work awaiting me post-dinner).
re: danikm
I was there on wednesday night with a group of four, and we tried everything on the menu. Everyone liked their food. For the appetizer, I enjoyed my butter lettuce and endive salad with persimmon and pomegranate, and the roasted chestnut soup with truffle cream was satisfyingly sweet and savory. The boucheron was divine, and even the broccoli dish, of which we had low expectations, was actually surprisingly good.
For the entree, I think the two fish dishes (pompano and salmon) took top honors. My risotto that came with the salmon was delicious! One friend loved the braised short rib, but I'm a bit biased as I'm so over the whole braised beef thing at this time. The duck confit was okay. My friend thought it was way too "mushy", though.
My friend who had the tres leches loved his dessert, but after having my rich, decadent dulce de leche chocolate cake, I couldn't taste anything myself. I'll just take his word for it.
Overall, a good, solid pick, but nothing extraordinary.
Well, at least I saw Govind Armstrong in the house. That made it an extra-special night for me.

Giuliana and Bill Rancic Speak on Surrogateby Free Britney at . Comments
Giuliana and Bill Rancic, who have opened up about their struggle to have a child in the last few years, announced Monday that they're finally expecting a baby.
They've bonded with the woman who is making it happen, too.
"She is giving us the greatest gift we're ever getting in our lives," Giuliana, 37, says of the couple's surrogate, whose identity has not been revealed.
"She's selflessly helping make our dream a reality. We adore her."
The gestational surrogate is carrying their child, but it will be their biological offspring. Giuliana's struggles to achieve a viable pregnancy are well documented.
Asked if they plan to stay in touch with the woman once their child is born, Bill says, "That will be up to her, but we are very grateful for what she's done."
"We intend to maintain a relationship with her."
The couple admit they were quite nervous about picking a surrogate before they met the woman they chose, but they clicked with her immediately.
"Once we met her it was an instinct," says Giuliana. "We could tell she was a great person." Bill adds that the Rancics attend her doctor's appointments:"It's important to us to see the development and growth. At the end of the day, it's our baby. Genetically it's ours. It's our embryo. We feel very connected."
For now the parents-to-be are relishing keeping the baby's gender a secret – but they know, and may not be able to keep it for the duration of the pregnancy.
"When you do a reality show and host shows, it's hard to have secrets. Its nice to have something that only the two of us know for now," says Giuliana.
However, "Eventually we may tell people."
How many pain and hardship has Giuliana experience trying to have a baby? We found Dr. Anoop Gupta, one of the most humble and caring doctor, who answers our all queries and make our dream come true..God bless him and very thankful to him...
I like how people believe they have the right to decide who should or should not have a baby based on their ability to fall pregnant and carry to term. Unbella, comparing having a child in your life to getting a dog shows your lack of intelligence. How about you make your judgements based on peoples ability to parent and not their ability to become one. Lisi, if your not interested why did you visit the page, read the article, then take the time to comment? Clearly your mire interested then you let on, even if it's just to hate on someone you don't know.
I am thrilled for this wonderful couple and insensitive and rude comments are uncalled for. By the way, your insensitive attitude is unbelievable.Mind your own business,Unbella!!
Giuliana and Bill: I couldn't be happier for you both. I've been following your every show and can't wait to hear of your baby's arrival. May God bless you and your baby AND your surrogate!
Why are we supposed to care about these two? I wish they would stop publicizing their every move.
I am ecstatic for them. Yes, it's sad that Giuliana will not get to experience being pregnant, but surrogate or not, this is THEIR baby, who shares THEIR dna. I coudn't be happier for this very deserving couple. :)
(Continued, crazy Smart Phone!):
I hope the Rancic's are soon blessed wth a beautiful, healthy baby, to treasure forever!!! May God Bless them richly!! :-)
(Ran out of Space) Continued. Comment:
The criticism's should stop! However your child became your family,
all the pain softens, & your love grows deeper every day, even every minute! BTW, two of my children were adopted, but when asked by curious, host strangers, we simply Reply, admit two are adopted, but we have forgotten which ones!!! I hope this baby is born hesltgy
I had fertility issues and tried every treatment imaginable. I was able to carry the first two children, but I had so many physical issues.
I could get pregnant, but not stay pregnant.
Those losses were quite difficult, and I still honor those children on their 'Birth Dates ' in my own special way, not sharing what hspp.
If this couple have experienced similar situations, then their choices should be respected, even if you have a different point of view.
Be joyful for them, celebrate with them. When they first have that child put into their arms, the years of pain, procedures, & criticism from people.
Judgement from strangers (Such as 'Unbella
Unbella- I am sick over what I just read. Its not like me to get on the computer and even reply to anything, but I can't help it. I am a mother of 4 boys and have never had any trouble becoming pregnant. Although I have had my share of losses (3 miscarriages), I can't help but think you are very ignorant & niave in your statements. I would love to see what you would do if you were ever to be in a situation like Guilianna & Bill. Of course having your baby would be ideal, but that is not in the cards for everyone. Curious..how old are you unbella? ..sorry don't mean to be rude but I am shocked at your insensitivity. Do you even realize how insensitive your comments were to anyone struggling with fertility? I even know that, and I am fertile!!! Anyways, Congrats to Guiliana & Bill...so excited to hear the news!!!

The Demographic: Backyard Recording Session
Sturgis and I pulled out a bunch of recording stuff into the backyard back in July and hit "GO" and started going. I had a big notion of doing lots of different takes and camera angles, but when it came time to edit everything together, syncing stuff up proved to be a big hassle. So 'Trends+Markets' got the multi-camera edit, but I was too aggravated to do the same on the cover of Nirvana's 'Drain You'. Which is fine by me. (more…)

Delhi High Court upholds death sentence to Dec 16 gang rapists
The Delhi High Court Thursday upheld the death sentences awarded to four convicts in the Dec 16, 2012 gang rape, saying that their "barbaric" act is "not worthy of human condonation" and society cannot be a a spectator to "such depraved behaviour".
A division bench of Justice Reva Khetrapal and Justice Pratibha Rani also dismissed the appeals of the four convicts - Mukesh, 26; Akshay Thakur, 28; Pawan Gupta, 19; and Vinay Sharma, 20 - challenging the Sep 13, 2013 trial court verdict sentencing them to death.
The court said the barbarity with which the victim's internal organs were "pulled out with bare hands coupled with the twisting of iron rods through every orifice in her body exhibits outlandish mental perversion not worthy of human condonation".
"To expect society to be a sanguine spectator to this kind of depraved behaviour of the outlandish variety and to continue to extend its protective arm to the convicts would be both unnatural and ludicrous," said the court in its 340-page verdict.
Holding that the offence was committed in an "extremely fiendish, demoniac, barbaric and nefarious manner", it noted that the manner in which it was committed is "demonstrative of exceptional licentiousness and perversion of a superlative degree".
"The medical evidence charters the hellish misery and trauma inflicted upon the prosecutrix (victim) before her death," said Justice Khetrapal.
The 23-year-old physiotherapy intern was gang-raped and brutally sexually assaulted by six men, including a juvenile, in a moving bus. The accused then threw her and her male companion out of the vehicle, stripped of clothing, to die by the roadside on the cold December night.
The woman died of grave intestinal injuries Dec 29, 2012 at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, where she was airlifted for specialised treatment.
The bench said that pain of an unparalleled order was also inflicted upon the victim's family members and her companion, who were "compelled to watch her die many deaths before being certified dead".
What made it worse was that "debauchery, avarice, profligacy and viciousness appear to be the only impelling forces behind the commission of the crime," it said.
"... the crime was not committed to alleviate poverty or the pangs of hunger and starvation, nor were the convicts in such impecunious circumstances as is sought to be portrayed."
"Undoubtedly they did not belong to the cream of the society, but they were neither beggars nor vagabonds nor even ruffians for whom crime is a means of self-preservation and is in fact reflective of the social injustice meted out to them," said Justice Khetrapal.
The convicts were "usefully and gainfully employed and were not expected to stoop so low in their lust for money and in order to satiate their egregious sexual appetite", she added.
Justice Pratibha Rani said the victims had reposed complete confidence in the occupants of the contract bus while boarding it to reach their destination but this was "misused".
The court also said that the shocking incident left an "indelible scar on the social order" and became a burning societal issue which crossed national borders.
Citing medical evidence like the post-mortem report, the court said it depicted "satantic beastliness" in the convicts, who did not stop at torture and even attempted to run them over with the bus so as to eliminate evidence and witnesses.
"Their conscience unpricked by the gruesome crime and the infernal torture inflicted by them, they coolly proceeded to divide the looted articles amongst themselves, to wash the bus which was stained with the blood of the victims," it said, adding that the instant case without doubt falls in the "rarest of rare cases" category where culpability assumes proportion of extreme depravity.
Holding the incident to be "completely revolting, gruesome and spine-chilling", the bench said: "We conclude by stating the obvious that a strong message needs to be sent to the perpetrators of grotesque and ghastly crimes against women that such crimes shall not be countenanced, though we confess that we are not aware of any case in which a crime of such dimensions has been committed hitherto before".
"... if the rising trend towards such crime is not nipped in the bud and arrested at its inception, the poison is likely to spread like wildfire through the social order, rendering it hapless and defunct".
"Exemplary punishment is, therefore, the need of the hour, for if this is not the rarest of rare cases, there is likely to be none," it said.
One of the six accused was found dead in a cell in Delhi's Tihar Jail. A juvenile involved in the crime was Aug 31, 2013 sent by the Juvenile Justice Board to a reform home for three years, the maximum term for a juvenile under the law.

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jason Hatcher didn't participate in Monday's practice because of a groin injury. The seven-year veteran said he's not sure when he'll be back but said he's "very confident" he'll be "100 percent" when the Cowboys open the season against the New York Giants on Sept. 8. "I'm going to take this thing as slow as possible," Hatcher said. "I just don't want to go out there and make it worse and then have a nagging pain in New York. That wouldn't be smart at all. "I'm just going to listen to the trainers. I'm going to listen to myself. I'm not going to go out there until I'm ready and until they think I'm ready." Hatcher said if the team had a game in a couple days he would be on the field. But because the Cowboys are already without defensive tackle Jay Ratliff and defensive end Anthony Spencer, Hatcher sees no reason to risk losing a th...

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The number of traffic deaths has risen to three from Sunday's snowfall in southeastern Wisconsin.
Police say a 63-year-old Franklin man died from injuries suffered in a massive pileup on Highway 41/45.
Menomonee Falls police say another person involved in the crash suffered life-threatening injuries.
Sunday's crashes shut down the highway for about nine hours.
A woman was killed in a rollover crash on northbound Interstate 43 at Highway 100 in Milwaukee County, and a man was killed in a multiple-vehicle crash that closed eastbound/southbound I-94 in Racine County for about seven hours.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports motorists were urged to approach the Monday morning commute with caution.
The National Weather Service forecasts snow for northern Wisconsin Monday night.

Great Point!
I do believe our Nando De Colo and Joseph and Mills... all those are going to be more experienced and will participate in a lot of games and help us a lot.
We already know we have DIAW to help out and we should be happy to have him as he can play several positions.
Maybe Baynes with playing more minutes will participate and give us something....
We can still use the small portion remainder now to spend and bring us some VETERANS to back up TP and back up
and to Back up to seriously back up LEONARD. We DEF need SCORERS!!!
I guess after all if Spurs won the Championship last year we could have seen different signings and BLOWING up this team. But not yet since Timmy Duncan is here we have to still have this team built around TD and Pop's system. Still you have to think our Spurs FO is thinking about the era after TD and Manu. Maybe with Tony and building around Tony and Leonard.
Yay!!They Did it! Again!
Congrats to our Spurs!

The Trayvon Martin case doesn't involve a white-Bronco car chase, an NFL legend and a pretty blonde – just a black, unarmed teenage boy in a hoodie and a neighborhood-watch captain with a gun named George Zimmerman.
But the second-degree-murder case against Zimmerman – who says he killed Martin in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., last February out of self-defense – has the potential to be just as meaningful as the O.J. Simpson trial when it comes to race.
Charles Ogletree, director and founder of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice at Harvard Law School, said the distinctive qualities of the case – which centers around the issues of racial profiling, gun violence and self-defense laws – make it particularly relevant.
I will even go so far as to say that this will be the trial of the century that will say a lot about the court system of the 21st century, he said.
Since Martin was shot to death on Feb. 26, 2012, advocates have rallied around his family and his cause – with support ranging from hoodie campaigns to gestures of solidarity on the House floor.
For weeks, there was buzz about the nature of race in America and how violence against blacks must stop.
But not everyone feels the same way. Polls suggest just how much race has played a factor. In a USA Today-Gallup poll, 51 percent of blacks believed that Zimmerman was guilty, while 20 percent of whites believed otherwise. It's a case that has exposed the deep racial chasm that still exists in America.
Zimmerman's family and legal team have pulled out all the stops to try to paint Martin as a malicious thug. From records of the teen's text messages to pictures of Martin blowing smoke, the defense has tried to provide as much evidence as possible that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Benjamin Crump – the attorney for the Martin family – said during a recent Miami prayer service that Zimmerman's defense has made a desperate attempt to try to play on people's prejudices by releasing cellphone pictures and texts from the teen. It's bad enough they had to lose their child, he said. It's tragic (the Zimmerman defense) had to assassinate his character, Crump said.
At the same prayer service, Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, acknowledged that the family would have to sit through a lot of negativity.
It's likely that Zimmerman's team will continue to be aggressive during the trial, Ogletree said. Trayvon is not here to speak for himself, so it makes the case incredibly difficult, he said. But his parents hope that the evidence presented by the prosecution shows beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman needs to be punished for his actions.
Judith Browne Dianis – co-director of the Advancement Project – suggested that the defense might try to paint Zimmerman as a nonracist, open-minded person just to put to rest the idea that the fatal incident was racially motivated.
I don't know what the prosecution's case is, but I would image that the defense may say that some of Zimmerman's closest friends are black people, Dianis said, and that they will have a parade of black witnesses for their client.
In his phone call to the police the night of the shooting, Zimmerman said that Martin looked suspicious. Zimmerman also decided to approach the teen after the 911 operator told him not to. But there's no way to prove what he actually meant by suspicious.
In a case of racial profiling by the police, we would have data, statistics and other evidence to prove that race was a motive, Dianis said. But this is a case against one person, and we may never know what he meant by that comment because he could actually never take the stand.
If Dianis is right and Zimmerman never testifies, will all the hoodie marches and congressional support be in vain?
Not if the community channels that same passion that was prominent during the formative stages of this case and applies it to a bigger movement, she said.
Wherever people are across this country, they should be doing something like finding and rooting out racial profiling in their own hometown, Dianis said. We have to take the outcome of this case and turn it into something productive for us. We can't turn it into anger – we have to keep it moving and honor Trayvon.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food." - George Bernard Shaw
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I recently met a friend for dinner in Chinatown. We had two drinks, two entrees, and appetizer, all for $24 including tax and tip. Talk about cheap!
I was told that this was like Hong Kong diner food, and that it was meant to be cheap, fast, and easy to make. We started with fried fish balls, which were fine. Nothing extraordinary, but reminded me of good ol' home cooking. We continued with "Red sausage" and runny eggs, which again, could have been made at home, but was fine. We ended with baked spaghetti with tomato meat sauce, which neither of us had tried before. The meat crust on top with a slight… Chinese? hint in the sauce definitely distinguished itself from Italian spaghetti. My friend thought his half coffee, half tea drink was too heavy on the coffee, but I immensely enjoyed my taro milk tea that was just the right kind of sweet, albeit a bit heavy on the ice.
I would recommend this place if you want a cheap, fast, decent, and hearty meal. Definitely worth returning to if only for the fun Hong Kong diner atmosphere as well.

Cafe Ele is a small coffee shop located in the lobby of a hotel in K-Town, near Penn Station. Three of us split the Bingsoo, an enormous shaved ice dessert that did not disappoint. With shaved ice and coconut milk on the bottom, the dessert was topped with a scoop of green tea ice cream, crushed corn flakes, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, mochi (!!!!!), pineapple, bananas, and red bean. There may have been more. In any case, this was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Sweet, but not overly sweet. Healthy (sort of). And huge. If you go, definitely bring a friend.

Christmas in New York means Christmas market shopping in Union Square followed by a walk to Chelsea to try out one of three Chipotle test kitchens, featuring Nate Appleman. Appleman, a young chef who has won the culinary world equivalent of Best New Artist at the Grammy's, is now heading the Chipotle in Chelsea.
I ordered a barbacoa burrito bowl with guacamole. The mild salsa at this location was not pico de gallo, but it was actually a red salsa with a slight kick. The corn, which is sweet in Appleman's version, in the corn salsa was not roasted, but possibly boiled. The barbacoa was juicier than usual, and made the burrito bowl a bit soggy. That being said, it was quite delicious. Chipotle always makes me too full, but at least my taste buds are happy on the way. Appleman's changes are definitely worth the trek to the location in Chelsea, no matter where your closest Chipotle is.
Angel liked that the meat in his carnitas burrito was crispy. He also enjoyed the fresher cilantro taste in my burrito bowl.

As I am usually in a rush when heading to the Manhattan Chinatown (to catch a bus), I need a place to grab a quick bite. Pho Grand, one of the closest restaurants to the bus stop, offers reliably decent Vietnamese food, though never amazing.

We would not be in this place last year. Without the masterful quarterbacking of Aaron Rodgers, the 11-5 team of last year probably switches those numbers. This year is different, however.
Thanks to a renewed commitment to the run game, a switch-up on the offensive line, and the emergence of Eddie Lacy and James Starks, the Packers actually can sit on the edge of the precipice of a game without Rodgers. Last night, Lacy still churned out 150 yards even with Rodgers out for most of the game. Starks looks just like he did during the 2010 Super Bowl run.
The games will not be easy. Seneca Wallace did not show much versus Chicago, and it is worth noting he has not shown much during his career, which he has mostly spent as a backup. But at least now the Packers can grind them out rather than having to put the ball in the air. Wallace will also get a chance in practice in the coming weeks to play to a game plan more tailored to his strengths.
The schedule to be played over the supposed "three weeks" Rodgers should be out will also be helpful. The Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Minnesota Vikings are all on the schedule. However, 2-1 is not an unbelievable outcome, with a win versus Minnesota, and then one versus one of the two other teams (not sure which, just guessing).
This injury definitely puts the Packers in a tough spot. No team in the league would want to deal with an injury to their top quarterback. But with some adjustments, maybe reinforcements (Matt Flynn anyone? Thought the Packers are reported to have elevated Scott Tolzein to the active roster), the Packer have a chance at not being out of the division race.
Remember the last time Aaron Rodgers was out because of injury? You should …

Cost of a Financial Transaction Tax to Average Investor Would Be Microscopic Compared to Existing Fees, Public Citizen Report Shows
Tax Would Improve Nation's Balance Sheet and Discourage Rapid-Fire, Automated Trading
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A financial transaction tax (FTT) would cost ordinary investors just a minuscule amount compared to expenses they already bear, while bringing in revenue and discouraging risky trading practices, a new Public Citizen report shows.
The report, "A Matter of Perspective," analyzes a hypothetical investor who invests his or her money either in a mutual fund or a self-directed portfolio of individual stocks.
An FTT is a minuscule levy on transactions involving stocks and other financial products. A proposal to implement one is pending before Congress.
If a person invested $85,000 (representing roughly the average 401(k) account) in a mutual fund with average fees and asset turnover rates, that investor would now spend $1,144 a year on hidden and disclosed costs, the report concludes. If one counts the 1 percent front-end sales fees that the average mutual fund charges, that investor's first-year costs would jump to $1,994.
In comparison, the costs resulting from an FTT of 0.01 or 0.03 percent would be microscopic. With a 0.03 percent FTT, an investor with $85,000 placed in an average mutual fund would pay only $24.48 in recurring FTT costs. If one includes an FTT purchase tax on an $85,000 investment, the investor's total, first-year FTT-related costs would be just $49.48.
These figures illustrate that the investing fees paid by mutual fund investors would increase less than 3 percent if a 0.03 percent FTT were in place. A hypothetical scenario in the report calculating costs for a hypothetical individual stock investor found that the investor's annual investing costs would rise by just 7.5 percent under a 0.03 percent FTT.
"The costs to ordinary investors of a small FTT would barely amount to a rounding error, while existing fees are an albatross holding back existing returns," said Taylor Lincoln, research director for Public Citizen's Congress Watch division and author of the report. "Those purporting to look out for ordinary investors could demonstrate their sincerity by steering people away from funds with outrageous fees instead of fighting an FTT."
A 0.03 percent financial transaction tax would raise $352 billion over nine years while making the market less risky by dampening high-frequency trading, a strategy in which computers buy and sell massive volumes of stocks and other financial instruments in millisecond intervals. Experts have blamed high-frequency trading for dramatic, irrational swings in the stock market.
The idea of leving an FTT has a broad base of support including Nobel Prize-winning economists like Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, and billionaires Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) in 2013 introduced The Wall Street Trading and Speculators Tax Act, which would create a 0.03 percent FTT and provide offsetting credits for investors in tax-advantaged accounts, such as 401(k)s.
"High-volume, computerized trading poses an unreasonable danger to our economy. A tiny tax on financial transactions would help limit this volatile practice while raising needed revenue," said Susan Harley, deputy director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "It's far past time for Wall Street to pay its fair share. Taxing financial transactions is commonsense reform and we urge Congress to take swift action to implement such a tax."

Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.
You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen's mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.

Why you can't buy a unique house
It's hard to sell a circular house: over the past year, the palindrome-friendly realtors at Weichert have tried and failed to move 300 Farmington Road at $524,425; $499,994; and most recently $449,944. But it's still on the market, and the banks are to blame. Mae Ngai and John New wanted the house, had the 20% down-payment ready, and were pre-qualified for a loan. But it wasn't enough for the lenders:
Two mortgage companies turned us down. The first did so after its investors – big banks with household names – rejected our application. The second mortgage company's internal underwriters also rejected us. Their reasons were the same: The home, a customized modular house of internationally acclaimed design, built in 1989, is . . . round.
Being "unusual" or "unique," it was deemed "not marketable." Despite its evident worth and multiple independent appraisals, the lenders said they could not assign a value to the house because there were no comparable properties. And, with no "value," there was insufficient collateral for a loan.
Ngai and New say, reasonably enough, that "there is a certain perversity about making a house unbuyable, even to two eager would-be purchasers, for fear of it being unsellable in the future".
More generally, this shows a mortgage system broken in all manner of different ways.
For one thing, everybody is far too rule-bound, still. If a lender is worried about the difficulties involved in selling a round house, then it should be able to ask for a higher downpayment, or require a slightly higher mortgage rate, to make up for the extra risk. But no one seems set up to be able to do that.
What's more, unique houses have an upside as well as a downside, from the point of view of a big lender: they're less correlated to the market as a whole. If you're trying to sell a standard suburban tract home which is to all intents and purposes identical to the 152 other suburban tract homes on the market, you're in trouble. The nightmare for a mortgage lender is a property-market crash with prices plunging and far more properties coming onto the market than there are qualified buyers for them.
The other nightmare for mortgage lenders, of course, is the idea that homeowners might simply walk away from their underwater property, often because it makes perfect rational sense to do so when you can rent something identical or better for less money than you're paying on your mortgage.
Unique homes, by contrast, are the kind of things which can prompt bidding wars in the midst of a property crunch — they're not nearly as susceptible to the whims of the broader market. And when they're sold, they're nearly always sold to people who love them and have a strong emotional connection to them, which makes their owners less likely to walk away from their mortgage.
If I were a big bank with a large mortgage portfolio, then, I'd love to add a few unique houses to the mix: they would help a lot on the diversification front. But that would involve giving individual bankers more discretion, and trusting them to be good at their jobs. So instead the banks just say no. And the owners of 300 Farmington Road, I guess, are just going to have to wait for a cash buyer to come along. Or be willing to finance any purchase themselves.

I had a similar problem some years ago trying to buy a Geodesic dome house in California (and a real beauty at that). It was listed as "non-standard" construction and as soon as any mortgage broker saw that they wouldn't touch it with 10ft. pole. Fortunately we had 80% of the money needed for the house and I was able to put the balance on a 0% credit card promotion and kept transferring it to different credit card promotions for a couple of years until I paid it off. When we sold the house a little over 4 years ago, the mortgage for the buyer was not a problem then. Now that things have tightened up I see it's back to how it used to be.

In this article, Hypnosis and Weight Loss, What Dr. Oz and Others Say, (Which also says that McKenna's "presentation was unconvincing"… unconvincing to who?), the author displays a common misunderstanding of hypnosis. I'm not going to comment on the portions referring to a lack of scientific studies showing that hypnosis for weight loss works, because all the hypnotists that I'm familiar with are too busy working with clients to take part in studies.
What I am going to comment on is the line in the article which reads:
Perhaps there is a placebo effect: if people truly believe hypnosis will work, then perhaps it will, and that may be sufficien for some people. (sic)
There's no "perhaps" about it. Hypnosis takes advantage of the placebo effect. That's what it is. It gets the conscious mind out of the way, and convinces the subconscious (or unconscious, if you prefer) that something that may not be objectively true, is subjectively true. To get rid of cognitive dissonance, the subconscious does whatever it can to make the "truth" that it believes, true in fact.
I just get annoyed when people say things like, "Hypnosis doesn't really work, it's just the placebo effect." as if that's a bad thing.

With just hours until the start of the 2014 NFL Draft, the SideLion Report staff checks in with what they think the Detroit Lions will do in round one.
Darin Ackerman – I refuse to believe the Lions, who have already invested considerable resources in the wide receiver position and own a roster far from one player away of being a super bowl contender, are foolish enough to trade away precious draft picks to move up and grab a wide receiver. Now that I've virtually guaranteed it will happen, I'm sticking by my scouting reports.
If Mayhew truly abides by the "best player available philosophy," the highest graded player on my board when the Lions are on the clock is Anthony Barr. It may not be the most popular pick with the fan base, but the Lions need to build to win through the division and Rodgers and Cutler will continue to thrive without a consistently disruptive pass rushing attack. Barr has proven he can wreak havoc in the backfield and has Pro Bowl caliber upside. Here's to hoping the Lions throw the popularity contest out the window and make the right choice.
Braden Shackelford – I think Sammy Watkins is the choice through trade with the Rams or Jaguars. To me, there isn't a player in the first round that could rival the impact that Watkins would have on the Lions offense. I know that all the "analysts" want to see Detroit address its weakest unit, the secondary, but how much of a difference would a rookie corner or safety make compared to the current secondary already on the roster? Adding Watkins is the right move and it could be a move that propels the Lions into a deep playoff run, especially with all the time and work that's taking place with Matthew Stafford and the new coaching staff.
Max DeMara – The usually tight-lipped Martin Mayhew rarely says much during draft season, so this year, his praise of Sammy Watkins has been uniquely telling. It seems as if Mayhew is in love, and given rumors of trading up have begun to surface, it's not hard to connect the dots. Detroit makes the move everyone thinks is a smokescreen official, moving into the top three to nab Watkins. In the process, they finally solve the problem of a major running mate for Calvin Johnson once and for all.

Just needed to vent. Just thinking about how it's only a month away, and all the stuff that has happened to me in the past.
It's safe to say that I've been through a lot and I don't know if I want to leave high school, leave the innocent life where I could get away with almost anything.
I've reconnected with people and it makes me feel good, just the thought of "What if?" keeps going through my mind.
What if that didn't end the way it did? What if we were still like that today? What if I didn't know my path in life? What if I died tomorrow?
All of these thoughts are crowding my mind aren't good for the fact that I have so much to do in the next 3 weeks.
I just want it to be over, all over.
The past also brought up my past about self-harm. We had a school Grad retreat and they said to think about apologies. I thought of apologizing to my mom for lying to her about what I've done but I can't bring myself to it. It's hard to stare down at my arm and see scars, but at least they're fading? They're not as bad as some other people's scars, and I feel for them. Self-harm is totally and inevitably one of the worst things man could ever come up with, but it exists. It hurts and it harms.
I've been clean for a few months now, trying to be clean for a while. Summer's here so I don't want to show.
Although the one thing that's bringing me through all of this is the fact that I'm that much closer to becoming a successful person in society with the help and support of my friends and boyfriend.
The boyfriend… don't know what I'd do without him. I'm absolutely crazy about him. He's one of the main reasons why my outlook of cutting has changed. I don't understand how he loves me, but he does. And I'm happy.
I guess that's all there is. I'm scared yet excited for the future, stressed out of my mind but I have the love of my family, friends and boyfriend to help me through it all.
Thank you <3

Church of Norway (Norwegian Lutheran denomination)
...in 1737 by Erik Pontoppidan, a Danish-Norwegian Lutheran professor and bishop, extensively influenced Norwegian religious life for about 200 years. A Pietistic revival from 1797 to 1804 was led by Hans Hauge, a peasant's son who experienced a religious conversion when he was 25 years old.

A Bowling Green, Ky. woman was airlifted Saturday afternoon after a four-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 65 about five miles south of the Demotte/Roselawn exit in Jasper County.
Master Trooper Scott Balch reported that at about 1 p.m., a 2003 Cadillac, driven by Scott Matczak Jr., 28, of Schererville, and a 2012 GMC pulling a trailer driven by Patrick Wilsens, 57, of St. John, were merging back onto northbound Interstate 65 into the right lane after Matczak had stopped to assist Wilsens change a flat tire.
Matczak and Wilsens had their left turn signals on and had built up their speed to approximately 50 mph to merge into the right lane when a 2001 Kia, driven by Esparaza Lopez, 42, of Bowling Green, Ky. failed to see them.
Lopez' Kia hit the rear of Matczak's Cadillac which pushed the Cadillac into the rear of Wilsens' trailer. The Kia slid sideways into the left lane and was hit in the driver's door by a 2008 Mazda, driven by Eleanor Dimercurio, 18, of Louisville, Ky.
Lopez was extricated from her vehicle and was airlifted to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Her son, who was the front seat passenger, Daniel Lopez, 16 was taken to Jasper County Hospital in Rensselaer.
Matczak and Wilsens were not injured.
Assisting were Keener Fire and Ambulance and Newton County Sheriff's Department.

DEFENSIVE LINE: B+ This defensive line is still, well, this defensive line. They come to play each and every week, and play well. The Steelers ran for under three yards per carry on the ground and were in Ben's face. Big Mo nearly got to Big Ben for a safety early in the game. Imagine how that might have changed the context of this game, huh? Sheldon Richardson was huge as well, posting 5.5 tackles and a forced fumble. I'm certainly not going to take them to task in a game where nothing happened on the ground.
LINEBACKERS: B These guys, as usual, were stout against the run as well. David Harris led the way with eight tackles and one sack. However, there were open lanes for Big Ben to throw all day, especially over the middle. Big Ben's favorite target, Health Miller, was open most of the game, posting six catches for 84 yards. Antonio Brown added 86 yards on nine catches.
DEFENSIVE BACKS: D+ Now these guys were flat-out awful. Antonio Cromartie said that his knee wasn't bothering him, but he clearly was not himself. Nobody defended well on the back-end. Anytime the opposing quarterback completes 76% of his passes, like Roethlisberger did yesterday, the defensive backfield played quite badly. Not a great day for Cromartie and friends.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B We up the grade for the special teams just a bit because Clyde Gates was actually a positive influence on it. He ran back two kickoffs and averaged over 28 yards per return. Yes, that Clyde Gates. Shocking, isn't it? So the garde goes up to a B as the special teams unit did its job, as usual.
Where do your grades lie?
