Blood on the Doorposts
Further thoughts on Parashat Bo
by John J. Parsonswww.hebrew4christians.com
In our Torah for this week (parashat Bo), we saw how the Israelites were commanded to slaughter the Passover and daub its blood on the two sides and top of the doorway of their houses (Exod. 12:7). The LORD would then see the blood and "pass over" their dwellings during the plague of the death of the firstborn. Based on this description, we might assume the blood was put on the outside of the door, though Rashi reasoned that it was placed on the inside, where they themselves could see it as a sign for them (i.e., הָיָה הַדָּם לָכֶם לְאוֹת [Exod. 12:13]). Indeed, after the blood was applied, the doors were shut and no one was permitted to leave the house until the following morning (Exod. 12:22). The blood of the sacrifice was intended to be seen as a sign for those who were trusting in the redemption of God. Likewise, by faith we apply the blood of the lamb to the "inside" of our hearts...Some have claimed that God intended the blood to be smeared on the doorway in the shape of a cross (represented by the pictogram for the letter Tav, which means "sign"). However, it is difficult to see how the shape of this pictogram resembles the outline of a doorway. Moreover, it is likely that the ancient Israelites wrote using ktav Ivri, which does not have a letter that resembles either a cross or a doorway. In Biblical Hebrew (called ketav Ashurit), the letter that most clearly resembles a doorway is the letter Chet (ח). This letter, signifying the number 8, is connected with the word chai (חי), short for chayim (חיים), "life." Based on this connection, a drash could be made that the blood of the lamb (דַּם הַשֶּׂה) not only saved from the judgment of death but it also symbolized divine life.
At any rate, there is no need to try to find a "literal sign" formed by the smearing of the blood, since the blood of the sacrifice itself was the sign that foreshadowed the greater sacrifice of Yeshua as the Lamb of God (שֵׂה הָאֱלהִים). In other words, it is clear that the sacrifice of Yeshua completely fulfills and reveals the inner meaning of Passover.
הִנֵּה שֵׂה הָאֱלהִים הַנּשֵׂא אֶת־חַטַּאת הָעוֹלָם
hin·nei seh ha·E·lo·him, han·no·sei et-cha·tat ha·o·lam
"Behold the Lamb of Godwho takes away the sin of the world!"(John 1:29)Download Study Card
רָאוּי הַשֶּׂה הַטָּבוּחַ לְקַבֵּל גְבוּרָהעשֶׁר וְחָכְמָה וְכּחַ וִיקַר וְכָבוֹד וּבְרָכָה
ra'uy ha·seh ha·ta·vu·ach le·ka·bel ge·vu·rah,o·sher ve·chokh·mah, ve·ko·ach vi·kar, ve·kha·vod uv·ra·kha
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdomand might and honor and glory and blessing"(Rev. 5:12)Download Reading Card
Ultimately, the story of the Exodus - and the deliverance indicated by the blood of the lamb - reveals the drama and glorious redemption of Yeshua, the Redeemer of Israel (יהוה גּאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל) and Savior of the world. << Return

At lunch with some coworkers the other day, I saw a group of guys walk in (most them screamed cop in the way they walked and dressed), and I could tell a few of them were carrying under their shirt. Then one guy walked with his full size Glock 22 openly displayed. I couldn't see a badge.
I know LEOSA allows them to carry concealed, but I was a bit shocked about the open carry the guy was doing.

Notice: Yellowstone River Oil Spill
Due to the oil spill on the Yellowstone River, a significant number of watercraft are coming into the area from AIS infested states to assist with the clean-up. The FWP AIS program will be diverting regularly scheduled region 5 check stations to inspect and decontaminate these incoming watercraft starting on July 14, 2011. The higher threat of AIS introduction of these watercraft warrant this diversion.
Tongue River Reservoir Watercraft Inspection Station - nice weather prompted a lot of boaters to finally get out. A busy weekend with close to 150 boats checked and some other FWP activities going on as well.
Savage Fire Dept Cat Tournament Watercraft Inspection Station - not a lot of boater traffic, but the majority of tournament boaters were checked despite some confusion as to where the check station was supposed to be set up on the part of the check station technician.
Watercraft Inspection Station at Clark Canyon Reservoir - cool, rainy and windy conditions resulted in few boaters for Father's Day weekend. However, multiple out-of-state boats were checked. There were question expressed by boaters as to why they need to stop at both border check stations and check stations at boat ramps. If a boat is checked at a border check station and does not launch in any water body, it does not need to be re-checked. The MT AIS program is currently working on a method of tagging to prevent this confusion. However, until a tagging method is developed, it is best to stop at each check station and inform the operator of these facts so that they can expedite these boats through the station.
Watercraft Inspection Station at Clark Canyon Reservoir - watercraft Inspection Station at Canyon Ferry Reservoir: The weather cleared up Saturday for Catch Fishing Fever! Day at the Silos boat ramp on Canyon Ferry Reservoir. About 200 kids were excited to learn about AIS and have their boats checked while they spent a day on the lake learning about fishing.
The Upper Missouri River Chapter Walleyes Unlimited of Montana (UMRC) held its second annual Catch Fishing Fever! Day. Catch Fishing Fever! is designed to provide the whole fishing experience for up to 100 students K through 8 with hands on rod/reel set up, knot tying and casting techniques. It includes a fish identification session hosted by Fish, Wildlife & Parks, boat and water safety hosted by the Coast Guard Auxiliary and fishing from shore and boats that are provided by our members. Each student receives a T-shirt, rod and reel, tackle box with fishing tackle and lunch.

The Better Business Bureau of Acadiana is warning consumers of malware programs that lock up computers and demands payment then threatens criminal charges if it is not paid.
BBB has recently received several local consumers who have had their computers frozen and rendered unusable by the malicious software, which claims to be from the FBI, stating they violated federal law and are subject to fines up to $100,000.
In some cases, the message also stated a law enforcement agency has determined the computer's IP address had accessed child pornography or other illegal content.
This scam is being run by hackers infecting residents' computers with a Citadel malware platform designed to deliver "Reveton ransomware."
The malware is downloaded on the victim's computer by clicking on a compromised website. Some variants of the malware can turn on the victim's webcam and display the victim's picture on their computer. Once infected, the computer locks up and a message demanding ransom money to unlock the computer.
To unlock the computer, the user is instructed to pay a fee of $450 using a Green Dot MoneyPak Card available at many local retailers. Once the Green Dot card is obtained, the user is instructed to enter in the Green Dot card's code to release the funds.
The malware first came to the attention of the FBI in 2011. Since that time, the virus has become more widespread across the U.S. and the world.
In addition to the ransomware, the FBI warns, Citadel malware can continue to operate on the infected computer and can be used to commit online banking and credit card fraud.
Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for this type of malware and the average computer user will not be able to fix the problem.
If a computer is infected with this malware, BBB and the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) suggest the following steps:
If your computer is infected by a virus and scammers demand money, never pay what is asked or provide personal information.
Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software, as well as a firewall, and update them all regularly. To be effective, your anti-virus software should update routinely. Most commercial anti-virus software includes a feature to download updates automatically when you are on the Internet.
File a complaint on the FBI's IC3 website at www.ic3.gov.
Contact a computer professional to remove the malware from your computer.
Be aware that even if you are able to unfreeze your computer on your own, the malware may still be present on your computer and operate in the background.
Certain types of malware have been known to capture personal information such as user names, passwords and credit card numbers through embedded keystroke programs.
The BBB of Acadiana works for a trustworthy marketplace by maintaining standards for truthful advertising, investigating and exposing fraud against consumers and businesses.

Because apparently Zachary's brush with staph infection wasn't enough for this family, Ollie now has it, too.
This is the email I sent to my mom on Monday morning. She was out of town (for her birthday! Happy Birthday mom!) so I gave her the cliffs notes version:
So, today has been eventful. But I will start with last night -
Dylan ate a brownie with walnuts in it, so I gave him benadryl, just to be safe. Don't know if it was the walnuts, benadryl, or a combo of the 2, but he got super tired and pathetic and said he didn't feel well and told me he really didn't want to go to school tomorrow. Went to bed without complaint.At the same time, DJ's sister noticed this redness on the back of Ollie's leg and told me it looked like MRSA/staph.This morning Dylan was still complaining about his stomach, but I told him he had to go to school, and that I would come get him if I had to.The thing on Ollie's leg drained and was super pussy and gross. I called the ped, who didn't have any appts open and said to take him to urgent care. I texted DJ's sister to tell her, she asked me to send her a picture of it, which I did. Then I got into the shower so I could get ready to head to urgent care.While I was in the shower my phone rang, and I thought it might be the doctor's office with an appointment opening. It was the nurse at school, calling to say that Dylan's stomach was hurting, which he says is from the walnuts he ate last night that he's allergic to. I called Pam and asked if she'd go pick him up.Then my phone rang again and it was DJ's sister, saying she had consulted with other medical people who thinks it's definitely staph (maybe MRSA), but that since it's already draining I don't need to go to urgent care, and if I keep putting hot cloths on it and keep it draining, it might clear up on its own.SO, Grandma Pam dropped Dylan off (who was totally sheepish and obviously knows he pulled one over on us, FAKER) and we're going to wait to see what happens with Ollie's leg.NEVER A DULL MOMENT.

Get AccessAbstract
Background: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an immuno-mediated disease characterized by a decrease in platelet count and, in its more severe forms, by bleeding symptoms. Many drugs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of drug-induced thrombocytopenia in adults; only limited data on drug-related ITP in children have been published.
Objective: Our study was set up to evaluate the consistency of the association between drug and vaccine use and ITP in children.
Study Design: This study is part of an Italian multicentre study on adverse drug reactions in children, coordinated by the Italian National Institute of Health, which was started in November 1999 and is ongoing.
Patients or Other Participants: The study was conducted by enrolling all children aged more than 1 month who were hospitalized through the paediatric emergency department for the following conditions: thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100×103/L); acute neurological disorders; non-infectious mucocutaneous diseases and vasculitis; and endoscopically confirmed gastroduodenal lesions and/or clinically defined haematemesis and melaena. Children with chronic pathologies or concomitant diagnoses of cancer or immunodeficiency were not included in our study.
Main Outcome Measure: During hospital admission, a physician interviewed parents using a structured questionnaire. The main aim of the interview was to collect information on drug exposure in a time period of 3 weeks and vaccine exposure in a period of 6 weeks preceding hospitalization. Using a case-control study design, exposure of children with thrombocytopenia (cases) to drugs and vaccines was compared with similar exposure of children with gastroduodenal lesions and neurological disorders (controls); this allowed us to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of the occurrence of thrombo-cytopenia associated with the use of drugs or vaccines.
Results: Up to December 2007, the study population included 387 cases of thrombocytopenia and 1924 controls. Despite the low platelet count, ITP was generally a mild disease, without serious bleeding in the majority of cases and associated with a short length of hospital stay. After adjusting for concurrent use of other drugs, use of the antibacterials was associated with a more than 2-fold increase in the risk of developing ITP (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.8, 3.1). Mucolytics and NSAIDs were associated with an OR of 1.9; 95% CI 1.2, 2.9 and 1.5; 95% CI 1.0, 2.1 respectively, while paracetamol (acetaminophen) was associated with an OR of 1.5; 95% CI 1.2, 2.0. MMR vaccination was associated with an increased risk of developing ITP (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.2, 4.7).
Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence for an association between ITP and exposure to selected antibacterials, NSAIDs, paracetamol, mucolytics and MMR vaccination.

Shanahan is back with the Devils
Having been the lesser story to Mats Sundin, Brendan Shanahan is making a return of his own.
In his case though, it'll be with the New Jersey Devils, a team that had originally drafted him in 1987.
According to TSN, the unrestricted free agent "has yet to agree to terms on a contract and it isn't clear at this point when that will happen or when he will be ready to play a game with them."
It's not officially confirmed but it looks as if the 39 year old is tired of waiting for the New York Rangers to make room for him on their team, a roster he had wanted to rejoin.
So the next best option apparently is New Jersey, who are currently sixth in the East, and could use more offensive help. That's where Shanahan will come in.
Maybe the three-time Stanley cup veteran does not have the same flair that he originally held but he will be a valuable asset on any offense, and any locker room.
Much like Sundin, Shanahan will need time to find his competitive legs and it's still unsure when his debut will be. Nor his role on the team.
Adding a player like Shanahan, although past his prime, is always a bonus, especially when he has recorded 650 goals and 690 assists in his career. With Shanny on their team, look for the Devils to be a more dangerous team, move offensively and defensively.
Maybe his impact won't be as big as it would have been, say 10 years ago, but it's a big shot to the Rangers, as they could not find the room to resign the winger.
Not to mention that Shanahan goes to one of their divisional rivals.

I have a Yamaha rx-v371 av amo.when the sound is set has straight HD Dts and HD true DD is stated on the amps display.when enhanced is selected it just states DTS.
Does this mean that enhanced sound option does not produce true HD sound.
I think so, yes. Both my Yamaha receivers in the kitchen and bedroom do the same. If you select "Information" from the menu as you switch between "Straight" and "Movie", you will see the effect of switching. It must be that once the sound is not set to "Straight", once you do any sound processing, that the sound is no longer Dolby True HD or DTS-HD Master Audio. I don't find that fact distressing, and on balance having experimented with the various available surround modes, I prefer both my Yamahas to be set to "Movie Spectacular" rather than "Straight".
The Straight Enchancer and 5 Channel Enhancer modes are designed to improve the sound of compressed audio, like MP3s. As DTS HD and Dolby True HD are essentially lossless, or at least hi-res the enhancer mode really should not be required. If you're listening in the enchancer mode then the original sountrack is being changed through the processing, rather like using one of the Cinema DSP modes.
I listen to mine straight.
What I have begun playing with is the equaliser when listening to music.
going from Flat to Through, is it better to just set to Through and dismiss
the equaliser all together what does it actually do.
I believe that straight or pure direct or standard are best for all 'decent' sources inc DD DTS etc and for CD sources. I only use processed modes for PL etc. I recon if all parameters of the set up are optimal then further processing is corrupting the source. Having said that, try each and use whichever sounds best with your source, your setup, your room and your ears. Sorry you can't have my ears but then they are getting a bit worn now.
Just to clarify my misunderstanding. When listening to Blu-Rays, I use Movie Spectacular mode. For everything else, I use Straight. But I do not use the Enhancer mode at all, never.
Sorry SonofSJ but I am surprised you wish to use a processong mode using the 'best' source ie bluray. With 5.1 discrete channels I would think you should avoid processing. I would ask if your kit is optimally connected or setup. I am sure a greater expert than myself will confirm or refute this.
I know nuffin' :roll:
Yes as far I as I know you only will get Hd in 5.1 by setting amp to straight so surely it will be better.
Music sounds better to me when its set to through so there it is.
thanks :cheers: :cheers:
Straight is best unless your speakers are a bit too bright or dull, then you'll need to tweak the equalizer and then straight isn't the best sounding. More likely to happen with a small sat + sub setup as they rarely have a flat response. Trust your ears, not the perceived wisdom of the crowd.

T C 357 • Democracy and Democratization in Latin America-W
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
42805 |
TTh |
Course Description
In 1980 every country in South America except Colombia and Venezuela was under military rule. By the mid-1980's all countries in South America were under democratic, civilian rule. Such a massive and rapid change has generated a range of questions about how a country can change from one political system to another and how that change can become permanent. This course focuses on this transition to democracy; it concentrates on reading about on the factors that facilitate the formation and consolidation of democratic governments in Latin America. Much of the coursework will involve a careful reading of theoretical and analytical works on the subject and the development of a framework for understanding a specific case or country. The ultimate goal will be to examine the interchange between theory and case: to what extent do existing theoretical/analytical models help us understand a given case, and to what extent does the examination of a case help us to accept, reject, or modify a model?
The course does not require a background in Latin American studies, and therefore we will take the first few weeks or so to bring everyone up to speed (more or less). Obviously some understanding of the region and its history or politics will be most useful, as will a reading knowledge of Spanish and/or Portuguese. Such language facility again is not required, but for research purposes, an ability at least to struggle through social science Spanish will be helpful.

About the Professor
Henry Dietz has spent most of his professional career studying Latin American politics and has concentrated his work on the Andean countries, especially Peru. He has done research on political participation (voting, community involvement), urban politics and poverty, and civil-military relations. He has spent about 4-5 years in Peru over the past 30 years, starting with duty as a Peace Corps volunteer in 1964-66. Dietz has been given the Presidential Associates' Teaching Excellence Award twice and is a member of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers. In what passes for his spare time, he reads and writes more about Sherlock Holmes than is probably good for him or anyone else around him.

Fairfield University to dedicate St. Robert Bellarmine statue
Fairfield University in Connecticut will dedicate a statue of its patron saint, Jesuit St. Robert Bellarmine, in a ceremony coinciding with its 2014 Bellarmine Lecture. Jesuit Father Michael Fahey, scholar in residence at Fairfield and former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, will speak about St. Bellarmine's relevance today. "It's a unique occasion, to have the annual Bellarmine Lecture coincide with the dedication of a splendid new statue of St. Robert Bellarmine, Jesuit, cardinal and doctor of the church," said Paul F. Lakeland, Ph.D., the Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J. Chair in Catholic Studies and director of the Center for Catholic Studies.

First Jesuit elected Pope
Paul F. Lakeland, Ph.D., the Aloysius P. Kelley S.J. Chair in Catholic Studies, and director of Fairfield University's Center for Catholic Studies, was interviewed for WNPR's newscast about Pope Francis I.

New Pope brings many firsts for Catholic Church
Dr. Paul Lakeland offers his thoughts on Pope Francis I. "When Cardinal Bergoglio became Pope Francis yesterday, the Catholic Church experienced a few firsts. For one, he is the first Latin American pope. "One of the great challenges to the Catholic church is that, although there are two thirds of Catholics who now live in the global south, the sort of consciousness of the church in Rome remains overwhelmingly Euro-Centric," said Dr. Paul Lakeland, Fairfield University's Center for Catholic Studies Director."

Pope Francis brings firsts
"His choice of name, I think, is remarkable," said Paul Lakeland, chair of Catholic Studies at Fairfield (Conn.) University, a Jesuit school. "It's a way of striking out on his own. What does St. Francis mean to the church? He means poverty. He means humility. He means reform for the church. Whatever the cardinals were thinking in electing Bergoglio, they were thinking that reform will be one of his responsibilities."
Published in The Journal News on 3/13/13
Connecticut Catholics have high expectations for Pope Francis
Professor Paul F. Lakeland of Fairfield University, a Jesuit school, said Francis' election "will surely be considered an upset" because of his age (76) and his membership in the Society of Jesus, which is known for its work in education and social justice. The Jesuits' support of liberation theology was condemned by Pope John Paul II. "Perhaps the cardinals saw in him a person whom everyone respects and therefore found him to be an obvious compromise candidate as well as one whose election recognizes the enormous importance of the church of the south in general and that of Latin America in particular," said Lakeland, director of Fairfield's Center for Catholic Studies.

Redbox pays $100 million for NCR's Blockbuster Express
At a time when the DVD appears to be dying, Redbox has acquired NCR's entertainment business for $100 million.
NCR is a company that specializes in automatic teller machines and retail kiosks. If you used one of those self-serve ticket machines at an airport, chances are you've used an NCR product. The company began operating more than 10,000 Blockbluster Express DVD kiosks after acquiring the brand from the original Blockbuster video rental service (Blockbuster went bankrupt and the brand and some of its stores were acquired last year by the Dish Network). Apparently, NCR couldn't make … Read more

no other sexual outlet. Despite years of trying I have never been able
to find a woman who would agree to have sex with me and I cannot afford
to go to prostitutes. So it seems that should I stop masturbating to
porn I will then be celibate and, quite frankly, I think my loneliness
has been punishment enough without adding celibacy to the mix.
I know most anti porn sites will tell you that once you stop
watching porn and masturbating suddenly, a woman who will agree to have
sex with you will magically appear. Well I looked for sexual partners
for years before I ever laid eyes on porn so somehow I doubt this magic
girl will suddenly show up in my life if I stop using porn. Sorry, that
dog won't hunt, not in my case (and I suspect thousands of others)
Find me a woman who will have sex with me and I'll never look at porn again for the rest of my life.

Alexander Pope, born in 1688, dead in his 56th year, commonly viewed as the last great neo-classicist, could also be viewed as the first of the Romantics — because of his sincerity. As Aubrey Williams has it: "Pope's poetry can move us deeply because it so often stirs us to a sense of the innate precariousness of all things. The uncertainty of riches, the decay of beauty, and the crash of worlds, these are the prevailing themes and subjects of his poems."[i] It is as if the boisterous discourse of Dryden, Butler, Rochester, Defoe, Swift, Johnson, Boswell et al. has passed him by. Sure, he can write sarcasm, as in "The rape of the lock," but his heart is in large-scale works like An essay on man, which opens its "Epistle I" with this:
Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things
To low ambition, and the pride of Kings.
Let us (since Life can little more supply
Than just to look about us and to die)
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of Man;
A mighty maze! but not without a plan;
A Wild, where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous shoot,
Or Garden, tempting with forbidden fruit.
Together let us beat this ample field,
Try what the open, what the covert yield;
The latent tracts, the giddy heights explore
Of all who blindly creep, or sightless soar;
Eye Nature's walks, shoot Folly as it flies,
And catch the Manners living as they rise;
Laugh where we must, be candid where we can;
But vindicate the ways of God to Man.
Those 8 balanced couplets sound very reserved and sedate, but Pope is not afraid in them to take on John Milton and Paradise lost, the scourge of his Catholic family. He is, like Milton, a religious exile, born in the year that England imported William of Orange and Mary (eldest daughter of James II, the reigning Stuart and Catholic king) to "restor[e] free elections to Parliament and ensur[e] a Protestant succession to the throne."[ii] But perhaps even more striking is the knowledge he shows of country life, a knowledge echoed in the last of the great Romantics, John Clare. So effective was Pope at his use of the couplet that it survived the entire run of the Romantics, becoming Clare's primary form — not his only form, but a sturdy base, as in these lines from a poem about a badger:
The badger grunting on his woodland track
With shaggy hide and sharp nose scrowed with black
Roots in the bushes and the woods and makes
A great hugh burrow in the ferns and brakes
With nose on ground he runs a awkward pace
And anything will beat him in the race
The shepherds dog will run him to his den
Followed and hooted by the dogs and men[iii]
The difference in scope, breadth of observation, punctuation, spelling and diction should not mask how completely and expertly Clare deploys his iambic pentameter couplets. So here's the question this raises for me: why did most of the Romantics — outside of Smart and Blake — look wildly about for models anywhere but in their immediate past? And why did so many of them settle on the Greek ode? These were revolutionary poets in revolutionary times — why settle on "the most formal, ceremonious, and complexly organized form of lyric poetry, usually of considerable length"[iv]? They made use of the ballad form as exemplified by Thomas Percy's Reliques of ancient English poetry published in 1765. They explored the various sonnet forms. They invented new forms, like Byron's Don Juan stanza. Why did so many turn to the ode? As The new Princeton encyclopedia of poetry and poetics puts it:
The romantic ode in Eng. lit. … begins with Coleridge's "Dejection: An Ode" (1802) and Wordsworth's pseudo-Pindaric "Ode: Intimations of Immortality" (written 1802-04, pub. 1815). Wordsworth's "Intimations Ode," with its varied line lengths, complex rhyme scheme, and stanzas of varying length and pattern, has been called the greatest Eng. Pindaric ode. Of the other major Romantic poets, Shelley wrote the "Ode to the West Wind" and Keats the "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "To Autumn," arguably the finest three odes in the lang.[v]
In part, these poets were political radicals looking for a new vehicle for expression. I have pointed out the same dynamic at work in Blake (and to a lesser degree in Smart, who first came to notice by translating Pope's Ode on St Cecilia's day into Latin), but been unable to account for it. Now to the rescue rides Roger Sales, who argues that in the Romantic authors we find apologists for the destruction of English rural life. He begins with this: "Pastoralism is composed of the famous five Rs: refuge, reflection, rescue, requiem and reconstruction."[vi] The first four, he continues, "all sustain the illusion that pastoral deals with universally acknowledged truths. It is, however, deceptive and prescriptive. It offers a political interpretation of both past and present."[vii] Sales identifies the deception as intended to "provid[e] sheep's clothing for aristocratic wolves, or indeed for anybody who was on the side of the victors in the civil war which was fought for control of rural society."[viii] I'm not sure that Sales is right, but, as I am still reading God's Englishman[ix] I can appreciate his allusion to the economic consequences of the English civil war.
There's a better way to test Sales's premise. Despite my having presented only the skeleton of his argument, you should be able to use it to evaluate Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality" ode, asking yourself if this sounds like a political interpretation of the pastoral. Here is the ode, all 203 lines of it. Take a deep, calming breath. Now read it aloud.
Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood
The child is father of the man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
(Wordsworth, "My Heart Leaps Up")
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
Turn wheresoe'er I may,
By night or day.
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
The Rainbow comes and goes,
And lovely is the Rose,
The Moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare,
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
But yet I know, where'er I go,
That there hath past away a glory from the earth.
Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song,
And while the young lambs bound
As to the tabor's sound,
To me alone there came a thought of grief:
A timely utterance gave that thought relief,
And I again am strong:
The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep;
No more shall grief of mine the season wrong;
I hear the Echoes through the mountains throng,
The Winds come to me from the fields of sleep,
And all the earth is gay;
Land and sea
Give themselves up to jollity,
And with the heart of May
Doth every Beast keep holiday;—
Thou Child of Joy,
Shout round me, let me hear thy shouts, thou happy Shepherd-boy.
Ye blessèd creatures, I have heard the call
Ye to each other make; I see
The heavens laugh with you in your jubilee;
My heart is at your festival,
My head hath its coronal,
The fulness of your bliss, I feel—I feel it all.
Oh evil day! if I were sullen
While Earth herself is adorning,
This sweet May-morning,
And the Children are culling
On every side,
In a thousand valleys far and wide,
Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm,
And the Babe leaps up on his Mother's arm:—
I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!
—But there's a Tree, of many, one,
A single field which I have looked upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone;
The Pansy at my feet
Doth the same tale repeat:
Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy,
But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
Must travel, still is Nature's Priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
And, even with something of a Mother's mind,
And no unworthy aim,
The homely Nurse doth all she can
To make her Foster-child, her Inmate Man,
Forget the glories he hath known,
And that imperial palace whence he came.
Behold the Child among his new-born blisses,
A six years' Darling of a pigmy size!
See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,
Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,
With light upon him from his father's eyes!
See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learn{e}d art
A wedding or a festival,
A mourning or a funeral;
And this hath now his heart,
And unto this he frames his song:
Then will he fit his tongue
To dialogues of business, love, or strife;
But it will not be long
Ere this be thrown aside,
And with new joy and pride
The little Actor cons another part;
Filling from time to time his "humorous stage"
With all the Persons, down to palsied Age,
That Life brings with her in her equipage;
As if his whole vocation
Were endless imitation.
Thou, whose exterior semblance doth belie
Thy Soul's immensity;
Thou best Philosopher, who yet dost keep
Thy heritage, thou Eye among the blind,
That, deaf and silent, read'st the eternal deep,
Haunted for ever by the eternal mind,—
Mighty Prophet! Seer blest!
On whom those truths do rest,
Which we are toiling all our lives to find,
In darkness lost, the darkness of the grave;
Thou, over whom thy Immortality
Broods like the Day, a Master o'er a Slave,
A Presence which is not to be put by;
Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might
Of heaven-born freedom on thy being's height,
Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke
The years to bring the inevitable yoke,
Thus blindly with thy blessedness at strife?
Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight,
And custom lie upon thee with a weight,
Heavy as frost, and deep almost as life!
O joy! that in our embers
Is something that doth live,
That Nature yet remembers
What was so fugitive!
The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest;
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—
Not for these I raise
The song of thanks and praise
But for those obstinate questionings
Of sense and outward things,
Fallings from us, vanishings;
Blank misgivings of a Creature
Moving about in worlds not realised,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty thing surprised:
But for those first affections,
Those shadowy recollections,
Which, be they what they may
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day,
Are yet a master-light of all our seeing;
Uphold us, cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake,
To perish never;
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour,
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
Hence in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,
Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the Children sport upon the shore,
And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.
Then sing, ye Birds, sing, sing a joyous song!
And let the young Lambs bound
As to the tabor's sound!
We in thought will join your throng,
Ye that pipe and ye that play,
Ye that through your hearts to-day
Feel the gladness of the May!
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
And O, ye Fountains, Meadows, Hills, and Groves,
Forebode not any severing of our loves!
Yet in my heart of hearts I feel your might;
I only have relinquished one delight
To live beneath your more habitual sway.
I love the Brooks which down their channels fret,
Even more than when I tripped lightly as they;
The innocent brightness of a new-born Day
Is lovely yet;
The Clouds that gather round the setting sun
Do take a sober colouring from an eye
That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;
Another race hath been, and other palms are won.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.[x]
That's not a simple poem, but Sales's argument is not a simple argument, either. Is Wordsworth an apologist for the present moment, as Sales argues that Jane Austen is? Does he present here "a political interpretation of both past and present"?
But hold on, I hear you say. What of Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats?

Cartagena is clearly one of the world's treasures. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's one of the few remaining walled cities in the world. Its cobblestoned streets are lined with faithfully maintained Spanish colonial architecture and wrought-iron balconies overflowing with bright flowers, and its many parks and plazas, vibrant colors, and cheerful atmosphere provide for days of fun exploration.
The downtown sectors of Cartagena--those inside the wall--are in a state of preservation that's unlike anything I've seen in Spanish America. Almost 100% of the colonials have been restored and are well-maintained. People come from all over the world to admire them and enjoy the atmosphere they create.
Cartagena's tourist infrastructure is excellent, with small boutique hotels, plenty of luxury lodgings, interesting shops, cheerful sidewalk cafes, and loads of fine dining.
These offerings bring plenty of tourists...and plenty of tourist annoyances. Everywhere you go, you are greeted by an army of vendors selling everything from Cuban cigars to tablecloths, as well as Cartagena's fast-handed moneychangers, who offer the country's best exchange rates but are also true experts at short-changing you.
As colonial cities go in the Americas, I could argue that Cartagena is king.
But just over 100 miles up the coast from Cartagena, is the colonial city of Santa Marta, Colombia's oldest city.
When I planned my first trip to Santa Marta, my outdated guidebook said to stay away from its colonial center, reporting that it was dirty, dangerous, and held little that was worth seeing.
So my expectations were low, meaning I was in for a surprise. Colombia's been investing seriously in Santa Marta, and they mean business.
What I found was a city that is clearly on the move and improving by leaps and bounds. Santa Marta boasted a newly refurbished waterfront, a seafront promenade, beautifully restored parks, and a new array of sidewalk cafes from which to take it all in. A giant cruise ship sat peacefully in the harbor.
The just-completed marina can accept 256 boats, and it's already hosting both resident yachtsmen and travelers from around the world. And, of course, the adjacent shoreline has sprouted its first handful of seaside condo buildings, which are selling quickly.
The tourist infrastructure is growing in Santa Marta, in pace with the city's downtown renovations. A handful of boutique hotels have set up shop, with larger projects under way. But you won't find anywhere near the dining and lodging options that you'll find in Cartagena, which has been a mature tourist destination for generations.
The only downside to Santa Marta is that it's a work-in-progress in many areas. But that's what gives the city its upside market potential.
Now if you move far from the Caribbean to Colombia's southern sierra, you'll find the best-hidden colonial treasure of all--Popayán. Situated at an altitude of just over 1,700 meters (5,600 feet), Popayán (pronounced poh-pah-YAHN) enjoys a mild, spring-like climate all year.
The historic center in Popayán is built around the central plaza in the Spanish colonial style. It serves as the bustling social center of the city from 6 a.m. onward. The stately cathedral overlooks the square from one end, and the beautiful architecture extends outward through the entire downtown.
What's really remarkable about Popayán is that all the buildings are uniformly white in color, with gold trim. Even the streetlamps and the accents and signs match the overall color scheme, which is maintained consistently throughout the historic center.
I found Popayán to be a comfortable place and could see myself settling there full-time. The city sees some tourists, which explains the presence of a fair number of nice restaurants and hotels. But by and large, Popayán feels more like a place you might like to call home than a tourist mecca...far more reserved and tranquil than its Caribbean counterparts.
If I were choosing a colonial environment for a base in Colombia, Popayán would be my pick, thanks to the nice weather and the pleasant Andean setting.
Also, there's another important difference between Popayán and Cartagena and Santa Marta. Have a look at these regional property prices, at today's exchange rate of 1,930 Colombian pesos per U.S. dollar:
- Cartagena: US$1,988 per square meter
- Santa Marta: US$1,085 per square meter
- Popayán: US$564 per square meter
If you're looking for a colonial bargain, Popayán is the clear choice.
