Located just outside historic Cooperstown, near the Baseball Hall of Fame, our Inn is a short trip to Dreams Park, and our peaceful country haven is just two minutes from the Glimmerglass Opera House. We're less than a mile away from one of the oldest golf courses in America, the Otsego Golf Club, established 1894. You can also take a short walk to local antique shops or a great restaurant for a meal. We've just built a new sunroom where you can enjoy a continental breakfast with coffee and herbal teas, while listening to the creek and watching our backyard birds. Or, relax on the front porch and take in a view of the hills and mountains. We also just put in a beach on the creek to cool off on those hot days.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

PokerShield is a custom-designed Linux Ubuntu operating system that can be booted directly from CD or USB, or installed on your hard drive. Within the PokerShield system there are two Windows virtual machines (VMs)—the first dedicated to online poker, a second for all other computer activity.
The Ubuntu operating system is the host platform, but no knowledge of Linux is required. In fact, no interaction with Ubuntu is needed at all. The two Windows VMs can be used for all tasks.
The PokerShield system is custom-designed with security in mind—it automatically installs patches, enables only the required services, and conforms to security benchmarks recommended by the Center for Internet Security and DISA. The poker VM is locked down to only allow authorized poker applications to access the internet.
PokerShield will be completely free to download and use.

Swiss companies are getting slightly less worried about the Swiss franc's strength as the exchange-rate cap eased uncertainty and simplified planning, the Swiss central bank said.
"The exchange rate situation was no longer given the same prominence" in the first quarter as in the previous three months, the Swiss National Bank said in its quarterly bulletin published today, citing a survey. "However, some manufacturing companies and service providers still regard the current exchange rate level as critical."
The SNB last week maintained its cap of 1.20 francs per euro introduced in September to fight deflation risks and help exporters. While consumer prices fell for a fifth month from a year earlier in February, exports unexpectedly gained 9.2 percent the same month, adding to signs the economy is stabilizing.
"The minimum exchange rate for the Swiss franc against the euro brought welcome planning security for many companies and even prevented some from going out of business," the SNB said. "Pressure to optimize costs is continuing."
The survey was conducted in January and February among 243 Swiss companies, according to the SNB.

Go Pro HD Hero2 Sound Test; Part 1 and 2
The first, 30 second video is WITHOUT the external mike, and the second, 2 minute video, tests my new external mike.
It's an Olympus ME51SW, and cost me $45 plus free shipping via Amazon, but you can buy cheaper external mikes, and of course, ones that are much more expensive. This one gets its power from the camera, and you do not need a battery, as you would need if you were using a more expensive WIRELESS external mike.
For those of you interested in cameras, this Go Pro Hero2 was designed to be encased in a waterproof plastic shell, so you could mount it to your surfboard, hold it in your hand, on a wrist strap, a head strap, a chest strap, or just mount it to the seat post of your bicycle or motorcycle, or on the outside of your auto. It's a POINT OF VIEW (POV) camera, with a great 170 degree wide anger. And, you can install a wider lens, take still photos, and change a variety of camera settings, which I have not experimented with yet.
But the sound is not great. So I bought the SKELETON case, which has holes on both sides and the back, which means it is not waterproof...LOL The waterproof case is for diving up to 197 feet below sea level.
But you can hook up an external mike of your choosing, and access all the other ports and SD card with this skeleton housing without taking it out of the plastic skeleton case.
This is quite an amazing camera, and I'm holding it about two feet from my face, and should have put on some fancy clothing, and turned my body so the light shown on my face, thereby relieving you all of seeing the messy interior of my computer room.....LOL
But as all of us amateur photographers know, life is not perfect, and neither am I.
I notice that if I close the Go Pro downloadable software, which is called Cineform Studio, too early, the last part of the sound is dropped off the clip I download to my computer. It seems I have to wait an extra minute or two for the sound to be fully downloaded with the video clip. I hope this gets changed in future versions of this software.
These MP4 files are about 100 MB for each minute, and they take about ten times as long to upload to CNN, than my Flip videos. The Flip program has a zip program to make uploading much faster, so I don't know if there is a zip program I can use to upload these Go Pro files faster.
Also, this Go Pro Hero2 came out this last fall, and it is new on the market, costing $299. So I bought a Best Buy accident protection plan to cover me in case something fails, due to manufacturing, or if there is a defect in the design that must be fixed.
I am having fun with this camera. I hope you all are having a great, CNN, camera day. Enjoy your camera, play with it, and it's ONE DAY AT A TIME Rog

The Dismemberment Plan have always covered songs at their shows — medleys and non-sequiturs and riffs that take place at the finale. Things haven't changed much for their current reunion tour: On Friday in Boston Travis Morrison & Co. affixed an expanded version of Das Racist's "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell" to "OK Joke's Over," the song where this sort of thing happens.

New Support Center Webpage Promises Better Service
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 3 August, 2011 – Visitors to the IEEE Computer Society home page will find that clicking on Help on the header will bring them to the new IEEE Support Center site featuring a suite of enhanced services.
In addition, visitors to the IEEE home page will find that the "Contact" utility link on the header has been changed to "Contact and Support," linking visitors to the same IEEE Support Center.
These new services will allow members, customers, employees, and guests to manage their relationship with IEEE through a new level of self-service customer support. For example, they will be able to:
Access a knowledge base of IEEE and Computer Society products, services, and processes
Generate a search for their querySubmit a question by topic
Conduct a live online chat with a dedicated Contact Center representative.
In addition, customers can interact with IEEE and the Computer Society in their native languages through a Google-based language translation tool. And because of the consistency of answers to common questions, issues are more likely to be resolved on the first contact, eliminating the frustration of back-and forth calls and emails.
"We've been engaged with IEEE on developing this program for a long time, and we're excited to actually roll it out," said Evan Butterfield, IEEE Computer Society Director of Products & Services. "The Computer Society is now positioned to begin offering better, more efficient, and intelligent support services to members, customers, and volunteers when and how they need it: in their time, in their language, focused on their needs."
The IEEE Customer Service primary contact email will remain as email@example.com. Visitors also can directly access the Support Center Web page at: https://supportcenter.ieee.org.

Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric Shaver
I have always liked writing reviews for products and decided I would look at some of the electric shavers on the market. Before looking into these I had thought that there was not much difference between one shaver and another. This couldn't be more wrong. There are differences in features and shaving styles that can have a dramatic effect on your shaving experience.
Why the Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric Shaver is a great choice.
After looking at several models I came upon the Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric. This is a fantastic shaver with an abundance of excellent features. Below I am going to outline some of the best features and benefits that this shaver has.

• GyroFlex 3D
• UltraTrack Head

• SkinGlide

- The 3 Dynamic Elements that are featured in the Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric provide a series of outstanding benefits. The primary advantage over normal shavers is that the Norelco 1290 provides a much more complete and accurate shaving experience. These 3 elements work independently of one another and can make certain that your entire face is completely shaved.
The problem with most other shavers is that they have only one element. This makes them much less flexible. They are very rigid and cannot move correctly. They are not able to move with the actual lines and features of your face. The Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric is able to move with complete precision and accuracy over your face due to its innovative 3 Element engineering.
GyroFlex 3D: A Revolution in Shaving…
- The GyroFlex 3d is an amazing advancement in traditional shaving technology. What it does is allow you to have the perfect shave. The GyroFlex technology makes it so that the shaver can move in every direction over your face.
Normal shavers lack the GyroFlex 3D technology. This is why most men end up with awkward shaving experiences. They have spots where the razor has missed cutting their hair, as well as often ending up with razor burn. When you get the Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric that issue is solved. The GyroFlex design makes it so that your shaver can move with complete freedom and ease over your entire face.
UltraTrack Head: You Won't Miss a Single Hair…
- The unique UltraTrack Head technology guarantees that there will not be a single hair missed. The three-track system is designed to remove the possibility that any type of hair can escape the shaver.
The outer track is designed to take care of regular length hair. The inner track is going to be responsible to cutting the smaller hairs. The middle track is there to make sure that those flat lying hairs are cut. This means that you are always going to get an amazing shave.
Pop -Up Precision Trimmer: The Added Advantage…
- The Pop-Up Precision Trimmer simply lets you have the most control over your shave. It will let you get right down to the most specific detail. This is great for difficult cuts and special areas.
This eliminates the need for multiple shavers. Some men often times will have a smaller trimmer, however now that is incorporated into one great unit.
SkinGlide: Smoothest Shave Possible…
- The SkinGlide design is one of the best features on the Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric. What the SkinGlide does is give a super smooth shaving experience. This eliminates the need for shaving cream or lather.
One of the great things about electric shavers is that they eliminate most of the hassle of normal shaving. Some men will have bad memories about their experiences with some electric shavers that have left them with a rough shave or razor rash. This won't happen with the SensoTouch because it provides a super smooth shave thanks to the innovative SkinGlide system.
AquaTech: A More Versatile Shaving Experience…
- The AquaTec feature provides perhaps the most important benefit for a man who is looking to have shaving options. This seal allows a man to shave one of two ways, wet or dry.
Some men like to occasionally use lather or moisturizing creams while shaving. Most electric shavers do not have the ability to be used with water. This is not the case with the SensoTouch. It can be used for either wet or dry shaving.
Super Lift and Cut: Cutting Hair from Below…
- The Super Lift and Cut action system is an advanced two-step procedure where the hair is lifted and then cut. This gives you the smoothes shave possible. In fact, not even shaving with a straight razor will give a man as close a shave.
The amazing thing about the Super Lift and Cut is that it is gentle. Other shavers use a more rough approach. The Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric gently lifts hair and then cuts it from bellow skin level. Simply put, this is the closet shave possible.
Cordless and Travel Friendly: Take Your Razor with You Anywhere…
- The Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric is designed to be taken anywhere in the world. With its cordless design you can take it on trips or vacations and not worry about having to find a proper electrical outlet. It also has the longest charged shaving time of any Norelco shaver.

Should you want to take your shaver on an extended trip you can bring the charging base that will also clean your shaving unit.

LED Touch Screen: Keeping you Informed…
- An advanced LED Touch Screen will show you just how much time left you have on your charge. This is a fantastic way to keep informed and not run out of energy when you are away from the charging unit.
Many shavers do not have any sort of display. The Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric not only has a display, but also has five levels of indicators to let you know exactly how much energy your shaver has.
Jet Cleaning: Hassle Free Cleaning..
- The Philips Norelco 1290x/40 SensoTouch 3d Electric has one of the greatest features of any shaver on the market. It has a design feature known as Jet Cleaning that allows the shaver to be completely cleaned during its charging time.

Fred & Louise Culp
It only stands to reason that a scholar and a county librarian would be interested in education. When the studios of WCTE-TV first moved to Cookeville, Fred and Louise Culp were enthusiastic about having their own public television station located in their community. Fred was one of the first Tennessee Tech Professors to visit the small WCTE facility located in the football stadium. He talked about national programs and was also most interested in what the staff would do on a local level.
It didn't take long for Fred and Louise to support the station financially. In 1982, they became members and have continued to be members to this day, 25 years later.
Being a professor of physics, Dr. Culp was very involved when the staff of WCTE decided to produce an Upper Cumberland Academic Bowl featuring all high schools in the broadcast area. He helped write questions, he became a judge and over the years decided something else was needed. In observing the contests, Dr. Culp realized that some of the teams that won the first four places were not necessarily the most enthusiastic, and he mentioned this to Steve Boots, the then host of the Academic Bowl and to Becky Magura, the producer. It was then that they established the Fred Culp "Spirit of Competition Award" for teams that might not win but who would give their best efforts in competition. Fred loves to see these teams receive their award.
Steve Boots in remembering Fred from those days said, "When we needed questions for the Academic Bowl, we decided to ask for volunteers from Tennessee Tech. Due to a lack of physics questions, Fred was one of the first contacted. He wrote several questions and asked what else he could do. Soon he was writing questions about everything. Before long, he was helping to proofread all of the questions for accuracy. Fred is a true Renaissance Man. His knowledge and expertise go well beyond his chosen field. His book, Understanding the Universe, deals with the realm of physics, but I remember thinking, when I heard the title that Fred might actually be trying to explain everything!"
Louise, an effective background supporter, helped the staff in any way she could. For many of the Great TV Auctions, she would come down to the station in early April and May and do auction paperwork which involved filling out forms, categorizing donations (a good job for a former librarian) and helping then auction coordinator, Joyce Hunter do whatever needed to be done.
"Louise and Fred Culp are very special people," Joyce said. "Louise was always ready to do anything I needed her for, from organizing art reception mailings to working Pick Up & Pay. She also helped during the Academic Bowl, sorting questions and making zillions of copies for the judges and Steve."
The Culps would help produce local programs for Upper Cumberland viewers. They also worked the Auction sometimes. "I was always amazed," Louise said, "at the enthusiasm of the people helping out at the auction. It would get later and later and they would just stay and do what needed to be done."
At one time, the Culps became very interested in the children's educational programs and became underwriters of the morning block of programs and when the "Studio Club" was established, the Culps were one of the very first couples to join.
Dr. Fred Culp was Chairman of the Physics Department at Tech for more than 20 years. Louise worked as a Putnam Co. librarian at the Putnam Co. Library for more than 9 years. They have two children, David and Diane, and five grandchildren.
The Culps enjoy watching specials on science and especially liked the Carl Sagan series. Today, they watch "Nova" ("Of course," says Fred) and they also enjoy some of the entertainment programs.
"Dr. and Mrs. Culp have not only been supportive of the station, but also encourage the staff both personally and professionally," Station Manager Becky Magura said. "We are so fortunate to have them in our community and in our WCTE family."
The Culps continue to support WCTE financially today, but Fred says he first became involved because "I was attracted to what you people did. You gave me an opportunity to help and I appreciated it. I think people continue to underestimate the importance of WCTE to the community. It certainly makes a major contribution to the City of Cookeville."
Thanks Fred. We hope everyone thinks the way you do!

- Because most rappers started out with a DJ playing records for musical accompaniment (no live musicians), many rap records are based around the chords and bass lines of popular songs.

- The only trend I do not like in rap right now is the message rap. I consider the message rap the equivalent of what strings were to rock 'n' roll in the late '50s - a capitulation to the adult norm who can't accept the music on its own terms. The people who considered "Sixty Minute Man" by Billy Ward and the Dominoes, "Annie Had a Baby" - as the pinnacles of '50s R&B now are super uptight over the - in quotes - hotel/motel lyrics of rap. Rap is definitely as true to the essence of rock 'n roll as anything that's out there today.

Football: Portage holds off LaPorte
By Nick Nochevich Post-Tribune correspondent October 12, 2012 11:48PM
Updated: November 14, 2012 3:12PM
PORTAGE — It only seemed fitting that on Senior Night at Portage, the upperclassmen stepped up and had a big game, carrying the Indians to a 24-17 win over LaPorte.
Portage senior running back Rashaan Coleman led the charge, carrying the ball 26 times for 152 yards and two touchdowns.
"We sure don't seem to make things simple when we play but we played a good team in LaPorte, and overall I am pleased with the performance, especially from our seniors that stepped it up and made some big plays offensively and defensively tonight," said Portage coach Wally McCormack.
Portage (3-6, 2-5 Duneland) got on the scoreboard first on the solid running of Coleman. Coleman took ball into the end zone from 15 yards out for an early 7-0 lead.
LaPorte (1-8, 1-6) answered back with a solid offensive drive, but Portage defense stiffened and the Slicers settled for a 19-yard field goal from Josh Aaron to cut the Portage lead to 7-3.
After both teams exchanged interceptions, Portage took the ball with just less than two minutes on the clock. The Indians moved downfield with masterful clock management and, with three seconds left on the clock, Gage Pearman found Coleman for a 15-yard pass to extend the Portage lead to 14-3 at the half.
LaPorte fought hard throughout the game, also led by a solid running effort by its running back, Charles Salary. Salary rushed 29 times for 142 and a touchdown for the Slicers.
LaPorte scored on its first possession of the second half on a 7-minute drive and added a touchdown late in the game, but Portage answered with a second-half touchdown and field goal to secure the win.

Our European partner offers a wide choice of folding door systems. This type of door allows you to form the interior of your house according to your vision. When closed the door offers a nice view of a large window wall, and when open you can go straight into your garden or terrace from your home. It is the only door type which when open leaves a fully clear opening since all the panels slide together to one or both sides without disturbing the opening area.
Folding doors are available in various options which allow you to choose the perfect type of door matching the interior and exterior of the building. The most common type of threshold used for this door is a standard wooden one offering an excellent seal however a low aluminium threshold is also available to enable comfort of use especially to elderly people, children, or disabled. It is also possible to make a 0 level threshold folding door. Apart from the standard inward opening folding door, outward opening is also available so that it is even easier to use them and to open fully or just a little without disturbing the interior of the building.

Red tape reduction in Higher Education?
Governor Bobby Jindal recently signed into law the Grad Act 2.0, which gives colleges and university more flexibility in exchange for
improved outcomes for students. The law's authors also hope it will help streamline some of the red tape involved with contracts and purchasing.

Ten-time Big Mountain Rider of the Year winner Jeremy Jones revolutionized backcountry snowboarding with DEEPER, his 2010 ode to splitboarding and human-powered adventure. His 2012 sequel, FURTHER, took him to the planet's most remote mountain ranges and earned him a nod as a 2013 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and his environmental advocacy work with Protect Our Winters won him recognition as one of President Barack Obama's 2013 Champions of Change.
Now Jones and his crew are elevating their game and taking their quest to the next level for the third and final installment of the DEEPER, FURTHER, HIGHER trilogy. HIGHER--like the chapters that preceded it--is produced and co-directed by Jeremy's brothers Steve and Todd Jones, who are the co-founders of Teton Gravity Research.
HIGHER traces Jones' snowboarding journey from hiking Cape Cod's Jailhouse Hill as a child to accumulating several generations' worth of wisdom and expertise about thriving and surviving in the winter wilderness.
Jones has gathered friends old and new to pass the torch to the next generation of big mountain rippers. His crew for the film includes Bryan Iguchi, Luca Pandolfi, Lucas Merli, Ryland Bell, and others. With these friends, Jeremy leaves tracks on signature lines in the close-to-home playgrounds he's made his own around Jackson Hole and Lake Tahoe. He also makes history with far-flung first descents in the Eastern Alaska Range and the Himalaya of Nepal, where the stakes are as high as the peaks themselves.

When I show people this picture they ask me if I went to MIT and I say yes. As a matter of fact it was also in the same week that I went to Harvard and Yale. ;)
Archives For March 2012
The trouble with Wall Street is well, Wall Street. Those folks in New York City, especially Manhattan, think they are the center of the universe.
Lets move our financial institutions to Omaha Nebraska. That will give them more common sense than they would ever be able to gain on that little island in New York. Warren Buffett has done pretty well with himself by staying there all these years. He has weathered most of the melt-down in pretty good shape. He doesn't let the flashy lights of fame and fortune cloud his judgment.
The people who live in or near New York City don't really have any idea of what the rest of the country is about or what our priorities are. I lived in that area for four years waiting to finish out my corporate life before claiming my pension and leaving soon thereafter. When many in that area learned that I was from Indiana the first question they asked was "what is there to do out there in the Midwest?". To them anything outside of their area is simply a "cornfield with lights". They don't understand that there is life without having to live packed together with millions of other people.
I won't reserve this mentality for only those in the Northeast as those California folks think much the same way but on a different topic. They can't understand the changing seasons have an appeal to some of us. They can't understand why any of us would want to live where it gets cold or where there is no ocean.
So, getting back to the original premise of this post lets move our financial district to Omaha. Maybe some saner minds would then prevail for the very fact that not many of those Manhattan folks would follow their jobs to the "cornfield with lights". But then again maybe I am wrong about that. Greed is a powerful thing…
But what do I know….
I, like so many others was saddened to see the death of Whitney Houston. She became famous just before I went deaf so I sort of remember some of her songs. She indeed had a rare talent. It sounds like from the initial reports that her death was at least partially caused by her addition to drugs and alcohol. Of course Elvis, and quite a few other rich and famous people have had a similar ending.
I'm sure Whitney had an entourage of people constantly around her to grant her every desire. She was certainly rich beyond what anyone of us common folks can even imagine. Why is it that so many with so much end up with tragic deaths? This brings to mind a song by one of my most favorite groups from the 1960s which was a Simon and Garfunkel They had a song entitled Richard Cory. Even after almost fifty years I can still recite much of those lyrics about how a poor guy who is struggling just to get along couldn't understand how Richard Cory could be so unhappy to take his own life. I recently learned that this song was actually based on a poem written in the late 1800s by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Here is his poem.
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean-favoured and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good Morning!" and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich, yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine — we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked and waited for the light,
And went without the meat and cursed the bread,
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet in his head.
The fact that Richard, Whitney, Elvis, and many others had tragic endings is an affirmation of the old say "Money does not buy happiness". Those of us who by comparison have very little simply can't understand how those much richer than us can be so unhappy.
I just got this from a niece and wanted all you seniors to learn the correct way to call the police :) This is supposed to be a true story.
George Phillips, an elderly man, from Walled Lake, Michigan, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?"
He said "No," but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.
Then the police dispatcher said "All patrols are busy. You shouldlock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available"
George said, "Okay."
He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now." and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
Source: NYT: Risks of Afghan war shift to contractors – World news – The New York Times – msnbc.com.
This is a war where traditional military jobs, from mess hall cooks to base guards and convoy drivers, have increasingly been shifted to the private sector. Many American generals and diplomats have private contractors for their personal bodyguards. And along with the risks have come the consequences: More civilian contractors working for American companies than American soldiers died in Afghanistan last year for the first time during the war.
American employers here are under no obligation to publicly report the deaths of their employees and frequently do not. While the military announces the names of all its war dead, private companies routinely notify only family members. Most of the contractors die unheralded and uncounted — and in some cases, leave their survivors uncompensated.
So from this article we find that the there are more than twice the U.S. citizens death in Afghanistan than are reported by the military. Some how or another the military finds it unnecessary to report the private citizens they hire who are killed in that war. Of course there are also many many people killed as "collateral damage" meaning innocent citizens of Afghanistan who are killed while our soldiers go after the "bad guys". This ten year war just keeps getting sadder and sadder. When will we have enough sense to get out of it?
We will be on the road again in about a week and I am going to do my usual "on the road" daily blog posts giving you my observations and experience of what we visit. This time we will be visiting Omaha Nebraska. We were there during our month long vacation in 2009 and decided to save the city for its own vacation. What we saw in 2009 was a beautiful city with a fabulous restored warehouse district. We will be staying at a renovated one hundred year old hotel.
"On the road" posts are a different thing for me. I generally do the initial write of my posts about two week ahead of publishing them. That gives me time to think about the topic and do several edits. On the road posts are usually posted the day they are written. I know that several of you who have been following my various blogs have enjoyed my trip reports. So, starting next Tuesday April 3 and for about a week thereafter look for these unique posts.
One nice thing about doing this is that any time in the future I am then able to identify where all the pictures we take were taken by checking the timestamp with the trip log postings. :)
This is the last installment for the review of the book "If God Is Love" that I brought over from my other blog. This book was a major factor in forming my current view of the Church of Christ.
<<<<<<< Post from August 16, 2011 >>>>>>>>
This is a continuation of my discussions of the book entitled "When God Is Love" by Philip Gulley and James Mulholland. Here is the quote for today:
Working to make the world a more gracious place wasn't a priority in the churches of my childhood. Some of this negligence was a result of apolcalyptic interpretations in which the world was doomed and damned anyway. One man insisted we shouldn't work for peace in the Middle East because we were simply postponing Armageddon and the return of Christ. However, the primary reason the church didn't have time to change the world was because we expended so much energy trying to save souls. We'd work for weeks on revivals, evangelism programs, mission support, and the like. We didn't have time for soup kitchens, visiting prisoners, or working with the homeless — unless of course, we could figure out a way to work in an altar call.
When I became convinced of God's intention to save every person, my perspective on the purpose of life changed. Salvation became a lifelong adventure in which God is gently and patiently drawing us away from self-absorption and toward authentic relationship with God and one another. The point of life was no longer to get saved or to save others. The purpose of life was to live graciously. Freed of personal anxiety about God's acceptance and no longer obsessed with creating others in my own image, I was able to focus on what it means to be rather than do.
Working to make the world a more gracious place is still not much of a priority in today's church. While I am yet to be fully in the camp that God will in his own way bring all souls to him, I am fully on board that much of the current church approach to those outside the faith is misguided. When we quit looking at others as projects to be converted and instead as fellow human being to be loved our whole approach to them changes. They become fellow children of God and not heathens to be saved. The way we point others to Christ is through our actions and not our words or even necessarily those words found in our ancient books.
Lets finish up with a follow up quote on this subject.
Saving souls isn't about altar calls, but about responding graciously to those we encounter in our daily lives. Being gracious is not about inviting others to our church, but about living an inviting life — one both attractive and winsome. The purpose of life isn't to create more Christians , but "to let our lights shine before others, so they will see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven" Matthew 5:16
A few posts ago, and several other times on this blog, I have stated that we all at some time, and often many times, question what is our purpose in life. Why did God create us. I think Mr. Gulley and Mr. Mulholland have got it right in that regard. We are to be like the Son and let our lights shine in order to point others to Christ. Altar calls and such just don't hack it. They never have and they never will.

Teacher Manby Frank Mccourt
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Since the publication of Angela's Ashes nearly a decade ago, Frank McCourt has become one of literature's superstars. He is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the American Booksellers Association ABBY Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. More than four million copies of Angela's Ashes are now in print; its sequel, 'Tis, has sold more than two million in America; and the books have been published in more than twenty countries and languages.
In Teacher Man Frank turns his attention to the subject that he most often talks about in his lectures-teaching: why it's so important, why it's so undervalued. He describes his own coming of age — as a teacher, a storyteller, and, ultimately, a writer. He is alternately humble and mischievous, downtrodden and rebellious. He instinctively identifies with the underdog; his sympathies lie more with students than administrators. It takes him almost fifteen years to find his voice in the classroom, but what's clear in the thrilling pages of Teacher Man is that from the beginning he seizes and holds his students' attention by telling them memorable stories. And then it takes him another fifteen years to find his voice on the page.
With all the wit, charm, irreverence, and poignancy that made Angela's Ashes and 'Tis so universally beloved, Frank McCourt tells his most exhilarating story yet — how he became a writer.
"This final memoir in the trilogy that started with Angela's Ashes and continued in 'Tis focuses almost exclusively on McCourt's 30-year teaching career in New York City's public high schools, which began at McKee Vocational and Technical in 1958. His first day in class, a fight broke out and a sandwich was hurled in anger. McCourt immediately picked it up and ate it. On the second day of class, McCourt's retort about the Irish and their sheep brought the wrath of the principal down on him. All McCourt wanted to do was teach, which wasn't easy in the jumbled bureaucracy of the New York City school system. Pretty soon he realized the system wasn't run by teachers but by sterile functionaries. 'I was uncomfortable with the bureaucrats, the higher-ups, who had escaped classrooms only to turn and bother the occupants of those classrooms, teachers and students. I never wanted to fill out their forms, follow their guidelines, administer their examinations, tolerate their snooping, adjust myself to their programs and courses of study.' As McCourt matured in his job, he found ingenious ways to motivate the kids: have them write 'excuse notes' from Adam and Eve to God; use parts of a pen to define parts of a sentence; use cookbook recipes to get the students to think creatively. A particularly warming and enlightening lesson concerns a class of black girls at Seward Park High School who felt slighted when they were not invited to see a performance of Hamlet, and how they taught McCourt never to have diminished expectations about any of his students. McCourt throws down the gauntlet on education, asserting that teaching is more than achieving high test scores. It's about educating, about forming intellects, about getting people to think. McCourt's many fans will of course love this book, but it also should be mandatory reading for every teacher in America. And it wouldn't hurt some politicians to read it, too." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] voyage of discovery for students and teacher and, ultimately, all who read this marvelous book. A particular interest in the teaching profession is not required: Teacher Man relates to us all. Every bit as good as Angela's Ashes and 'Tis, this is highly recommended." Mark Bay, Library Journal
"McCourt has produced a collection of aphorisms that will grace classroom posters till the last red pen runs dry. ("You'd be better off as a cop. At least you'd have a gun or a stick to defend yourself. A teacher has nothing but his mouth.") And at most, he's described the teacher we all wish we'd had." Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"[A]nother easily embraceable memoir.... His trademark charm, wit, and unself-conscious self-effacement ensure that the flashbacks of his dreadful days growing up in extreme deprivation in Ireland don't sink the narrative in self-pity." Brad Hooper, Booklist
"Moving out of the poor Irish lanes of his childhood and now into the high school classrooms of New York City, Frank McCourt exchanges one garden of suffering for another, but always with a comic eye, a sympathetic heart, and the perfect timing of a master story-teller. Teacher Man is a cry from the barricades of public education and should be required reading not just for all teachers but for anyone who ever set foot in a high school. Happily, there will be no test." Billy Collins
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, mega-bestselling author who wore his celebrity with extraordinary grace comes a magnificently appealing book about teaching and about how one great storyteller found his voice.andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;Frank McCourt became an unlikely star when, at the age of sixty-six, he burst onto the literary scene with andlt;Iandgt;Angela's Ashes,andlt;/Iandgt; the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir of his childhood in Limerick, Ireland. Then came andlt;Iandgt;'Tis,andlt;/Iandgt; his glorious account of his early years in New York.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; Now, here at last is McCourt's long-awaited book about how his thirty-year teaching career shaped his second act as a writer. andlt;Iandgt;Teacher Manandlt;/Iandgt; is also an urgent tribute to teachers everywhere.
