I debate whether or not it is a worthwhile endeavor to attempt an Easter blog post. I wrote one last year. But for some reason this year isn't supplying much inspiration. I write this on the evening before Easter and I think, in more ways than one, that maybe lack of inspiration is the tip of the iceberg of what the disciples felt. Where is the inspiration? Where's the excitement? Tomorrow's a big day, you know.
As pastors and leaders everywhere have prepared for Easter for days now. Sermons have long been written (or maybe are being written as we speak) and we now wait. There's no real surprise left. The only thing that separates us from the inevitable is time now. Easter will be here soon and many of us will run the gauntlet of multiple services at God-awful early times. We'll do our best to look our best and pray that our families make it to church in one piece. We'll hope for that Easter Sunday bump in attendance and we'll look forward to the joyous music we'll share together. So where's the surprise that is Easter?
As we'll hear Matthew tells us tomorrow, Easter can come with an earthquake. Maybe the reason this day doesn't carry more of an impact for folks is that we leaders have talked it out well before the due time. We've dissected the day down to its simplest components and left them out on our examination table waiting for some sort of life to present itself. However, no matter how hard we try during Holy Week, inevitably what promises to be an explosion turns in to little more than a fizzle. Why?
Maybe one reason is because we try so hard to "know" exactly what happens, and explain it in its simplest terms, that we don't give ourselves a fighting chance to get lost in the mystery of it all. We'll do the song-and-dance of Easter and hope that a few of the visitors present will come back the next week. We may try to keep things simple in order to let the story carry the day. However, I'm afraid that simplifying the story of God's mysterious love, grace, and power has ever done it justice.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure where to end this post anymore than I know where I misplaced my Easter inspiration. I suppose on this contemplative Holy Saturday we wait for God knows what; knowing that if God knows, we don't have to. But be careful, sometimes our greatest attempts at "finding" the Easter story in order to present it can lead to our getting lost more than we realize. And allowing ourselves to get lost in the wonder of what might (it's still Saturday, remember) happen can lead to our being found by a truly earth-shaking reality.
I've always felt like my prayer life was lacking. Maybe you've never felt this way. But I can't help it. Every time I would go to pray, my mind would wander. If I prayed at night I would often fall asleep. I hear people talk about how deep their prayer life is. They tell me how they can just spend so much time in prayer, they can get lost in it. Meanwhile, I can't seem to even find an opening line to say. So during the season of Lent this year I have decided to do something about it. Rather than sacrificing something out of observance, I decided I would add daily prayer to my life in the hopes to make it a new discipline.
I've always been taught that prayer is some sort of spontaneous conversation between you and God that wells up within you and just gushes forth in reverent, and yet moving fashion. That's a great image unless your prayer life is more like a yard hose someone stands on that can't ever seem to get enough pressure to water the grass, much less burst forth like a river whose dam was broken.
I decided for Lent that I would pray with help. The Book of Common Prayer offers Daily Offices of prayer one can observe throughout the day. In these offices, you can pray Scripture, including Psalms and Gospel lessons, and you have petitions, laments, and collects that guide your prayer. For those not familiar with the daily offices, they include Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Vesper Prayer (evening), and Compline (night) Prayer.
I found a few books that would help give me some variety in prayers as well as my new favorite way to pray: via Twitter. Virtual Abbey offers multiple opportunities for daily prayer via Twitter. You can pray live as they post or you can come back later and read through their postings for your prayer.
A strange thing has happened this Lenten Season as I've carried out this practice, missing some days or even doubling up on others. Prayer is no longer a means to an end–praying for reward; to get out of bad places; to feel more righteous. No. Something much more profoundly subtle has taken place. My life has quietly become oriented around prayer. On the days I forget, and that happens from time to time, I notice. And on days when I do observe an office (or even have multiple observances in a single day) nothing more happens than knowing that I've prayed; that I've had a short experience in a world that the pace of my everyday life can make me miss.
And another thing. I've become much more comfortable with mystery. Praying everyday and participating in a framed practice that is much more ancient than anything I know has actually helped me cope with (and dare I say, enjoy) the mystery of life. Becoming comfortable with not being in total control of my life has been one of the most liberatingly transformative experiences of my life. But that's a post for another day.
Until then, as faithful person (or community) more ancient than I has said:
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen
Let me begin by thanking everyone who has engaged me in this soapbox discussion via Twitter, Facebook, and this site. Good points are usually never put forth and articulated by a lone thinker. It takes a community to find good ideas and carve them into a shape that best fits a particular context in a particular time and space.
To recap, we have discussed the lack of a common Eucharistic Theology in the modern Methodist Church. And we've also discussed a basic theology of worship and how we misinterpret this as an issue of style.
Connecting the Threads
For a moment, let me attempt to address a question I raised in a previous post (and may have not been entirely clear in answering): What does it mean to worship? Plain and simple, we miss the true meaning of worship any time worship is seen as a means to an end. When worship is constructed as a means to an experience, or maybe worse, a evangelistic means to grow our churches, we have missed the mark. So how can we define worship correctly?
Definitions of Worship
Pope Pius X speaks of worship as "the glorification of God and the sanctification of humanity." Irenaeus would add that the "glory of God is humanity fully alive." This does not mean alive for a momentary "worship high" nor does it mean being alive in the so-called traditions of worshipping "like we've always done it." It means that through regular corporate worship, we are transformed by affirming our identity as the Body of Christ. Slowly but surely our identities are changed through the regular practice of worship. Worship is not about creating experiences for participants, but rather about creating space where divine experiences can happen as acts of grace through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, style takes a back seat to substance and regular practice.
Why Weekly Eucharist?
If the Eucharist is the visible symbol of the incarnation, and the means by which we gather together to share in the grace given through such a mystery, it is only logical to practice the sacrament as often as we can. Maybe logical is a bad word. How about faithful? Practicing the Eucharist is not necessarily the measurement of our faithful worship, but it is an identity marker by which our worship is understood to most visibly and faithfully tell the story of the gospel and share in the grace of God poured out on all of humanity (note: this is one reason why an "open table" is such a powerful testimony to the inclusivity of the gospel).
Final Thoughts?
I've wondered lately whether it is better to push for a decision from "on high" that all Methodist congregations should practice the Eucharist every week on the Lord's Day, or whether we should approach the issue on a congregation-by-congregation basis. I'm still not sure I have a clear answer to that one. I do know that wherever I serve, I will lovingly and firmly push that we creatively think of how to incorporate this practice on at least a weekly basis in various forms of worship. And I know more people like me who are doing this very thing in their contexts as well. At least forums like this makes sure the issue remains a conversation topic. So I guess that's a start. I guess slowly but surely we're inching closer to making a reality those wonderful words declaring that we, by the grace of God, "might be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood."
If you are a United Methodist, you might be aware that on April 6 there was a Leadership Summit held to attempt to address the major issues facing the United Methodist Church. The Summit was carried live on the web which allowed anyone to watch live as the conference took place. Many Annual Conferences (including mine) held large meetings where leaders gathered to watch together and discuss the major questions lifted up in the course of the event. The second hour alone was devoted to giving time for remote meetings to discuss questions in their respective room.
While many gathered among leaders on the district or annual conference level around the country, I watched in the privacy of my office at the church. But, I did take part in something very special–maybe even more so than a larger, more formal meeting around this Summit.
For those not familiar with Twitter, this is called a hashtag. If you search hashtags on Twitter you can find trending topics of discussion. Thanks to the hard work of Rev. Jeremy Smith you can take a look at the entire transcript of tweets around this topic. In the spirit of dashboards and scorecards (see major discussion points of the Summit) that's 32 pages of tweets around this topic! There were so many tweets that this became one of the major trending topics on all of the Twitter for awhile yesterday.
The Rest of the Story…
So what does this mean? Well it means a few things. First, this means that when we attempt to address pressing issues facing the church, we need to take in to consideration that the Internet and Social Networking sites have allowed more people to be a part of the discussion. If more people are a part of the larger discussion, then more perspectives are offered and more time will be needed to truly hear the voices of everyone around the table.
Change on the Horizon?
This could be good or bad for our denominational structure. Again I reference the great work of Jeremy Smith. Have a look at this blog post that includes a word cloud collected from the various tweets. It's a simple concept, the larger the word, the more often it was used. The smaller the word, the less often it was used. It's a great visual display of reactions from the Summit. Notice the largest words here? I'll let you make your own interpretations over the value of the larger words vs. the smaller words. All of this is to say reactions tell a lot of what was heard and also unheard. If technical words (words like "vital", "structure", "change", or "leadership") are more prevalent than adaptive words ("conversation", "story", or "vision") then it says a lot as to how these issues are being approached. If the larger Twitter conversation does anything, it shows that top-down, technical solutions won't easily solve adaptive problems.
Wesleyanism at its Best
One theme came to mind yesterday as I sat at my computer, one screen with the conference streaming live and another devoted to the Twitter discussion: Holy Conferencing. I saw connectionalism at its very best when conferencing sprung forth organically among United Methodists from all over the country. We probably didn't hear much more than we already know. We probably didn't learn very much at all. But if our leaders want evidence that there's hope and life in the United Methodist Church, the website is: Twitter and be sure to search #umclead when you're there. Maybe Wesleyan values such as connectionalism and conferencing aren't dying anymore than the United Methodist Church is. Maybe it's all simply changing into something different, new and even more faithful. I, for one, think Mr. Wesley would have been proud had he been on Twitter yesterday.
What is worship? I know that sounds like an elementary sort of question. But really, what is worship? Why do we organize once a week, at an odd hour of the day, and sing strange songs and say funny words? I ask because I wonder sometimes if whether we really think about teaching a theology of worship in our local congregations.
Thanks to Christendom (and in particular, my context in the southeastern United States) attending worship is a bit of a cultural norm. The irony is that we no longer live in a world where Christianity and the church sits at the center of cultural life. Blue laws are a thing of the past and even my state of Georgia is beginning to ease into the idea of selling alcohol on Sundays. These aren't necessarily bad, they only point to a larger reality that Sunday is no longer observed by the wider community as a special day set apart during the week for Christian worship.
All of this raises the question, in a world where Christian worship is no longer accepted as the sole cultural norm, what does it mean to worship?
This is why worship as experience has been the driving force behind our theologies of worship for some time now. Seeker Services, Praise Services, Small Group Retreat Services, all of these have an implicit goal of generating an experience between the worshipper and the divine. This trend lays at the heart of the worship style debate that has dominated many local faith communities for 25 years or more.
"We need to worship like we've always worshipped, it's been meaningful for us all this time."
"If you want new people to come, you need to worship in a different way; one that will be attractive to someone outside of our circle."
These are common responses in the debate of "traditional" vs. "contemporary" styles of worship. I intentionally put quotes around both terms because they are, by and large, misused by our local congregations.
Traditional worship tends to reflect only recent tradition. An aesthetic worship experience with fancy words and a push toward beauty and art as a focal point of worship is not very traditional at all. This doesn't take away any of its beauty or grandeur, we just have to recognize that this style is rooted in much more recent tradition that we sometimes realize. It carried some ancient elements but also intrinsic goals of not only allowing the attendee to worship, but also to teach through beauty and art.
On the other hand, contemporary worship covers a wide spectrum of style and tools for worship. The average person in a local congregation may have their thoughts immediately go to screens, projectors, and electric guitars when they think of contemporary worship. But the truth is, the vast majority of so-called contemporary worship reflects a style that is now going on 25 years old. So we have to ask ourselves, how long before something can no longer call itself "contemporary." Keep in mind, the misuse of a lable does not take away from the power and stirring nature of a service geared specifically toward heartfelt praise and adoration.
The problem with the discussion of style is not which style is better than the other. The problem is in the discussion itself as a whole. Why is style the driving force behind meaning in worship? Why is it that we see it fit to use worship as an evangelistic tool for our local church? Why is the question always posed in an either/or argument?
[My guess it is much of this is symptomatic of a generational divide in our churches and church leadership, but that's a post for another day]
Worship is about participation in a larger reality; one that remains a mystery and yet where the very transformative power of this reality is found in its mystery. It is an exercise of praise, adoration, lament, proclamation, and fellowship. Faithful worship does not seek to create experiences with God. Instead it's about creating space where experiences can occur. It may sound like a simple manner of semantics, but please note the emphasis in the two statements: one puts humans and human desire at the center and the other puts the worship of God at the center; the by-product of which can create space where the Holy Spirit can meet us by the surprising grace of God.
Issues of style become secondary to the worship of God. And the worship of God quickly becomes a statement not of our taste or preferences, but a statement of who are and who we long to be.
What does worship mean for you? And how does practicing Holy Commuinion every week fit into this framework?

Reports of a Law School's 'Fall From Grace' Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Virginia is for Lovers, not Partiers. Law students in the Old Dominion State are not as much fun as we thought they were. We recently wrote about a law school party — called the "Fall From Grace," aptly enough — that supposedly spiraled out of control. But now we're hearing that this incident has been overblown, and that the law school has not been banned from the high-end Holiday Inn at Fort Magruder….

It's been a while since we had a story about an entire law school student body getting banned forever from a party venue. Maybe the last school law to have this public shame was Tulane? We know things got pretty crazy at the U.C. Davis Law "prom" last year, but they didn't get banned from anywhere. But apparently neither of these schools have anything on the law students at William and Mary….

Every day, more than 10,000 people go to work on Kentucky Thoroughbred farms, taking care of high-strung 1,000-pound animals, often in close quarters. But nobody seems to know how dangerous this work might be, keep statistics on accidents, or share methods that prevent them. This fall, the University of Kentucky has launched a multiyear study of the health and safety practices associated with the diverse workforce of the Thoroughbred industry, one of the state's top agricultural enterprises.
After 79 years of calling Woodford County its base of operations, the Kentucky United Methodist Homes for Children & Youth plans to move to neighboring Jessamine County. This past summer the nonprofit corporation that cares for abused, neglected or abandoned children purchased nearly 31 acres on Ashgrove Road in northern Jessamine for $915,000 from David and Alta Marshall. The property is just south of Brannon Crossing shopping center off U.S. 27.
Lexington city leaders are supporting a unique downtown hotel project to the tune of one million dollars. Council members decided Tuesday to spend the better part of an Urban Development Action Grant or UDAG money toward the 21c museum hotel project. One million dollars will be loaned to developers. Council member Julian Beard says the city will likely be asked to participate with more financial support.
An official kick off for a one and a half million dollar fundraising campaign for a downtown Lexington landmark is scheduled this evening. A birthday celebration is planned for the Kentucky Theater as it celebrates 90 years downtown. Guests are encouraged to come wearing a costume in tribute to their favorite movie character or movie era.
Some musicians at Eastern Kentucky University hope to make it more of a home for Mountain and Bluegrass music. Biology professor Bob Frederick thinks E-K-U can do a better job of recruiting and retaining students if it did more to embrace Appalachian culture. "It just struck me that this would be a unique way for a certain group of students to find a niche that might help them cope with the day to day rigors of being a student and maybe being an outlet for them," said Frederick.
The establishment of new homeless shelters in Lexington would be impacted by a proposed change in zoning law. The amendment impacts all new adult day care centers which would include those serving the disabled and seniors. Council member Chris Ford says it's important to balance community interests. "We want to make sure that we get it right to the benefit of all constituencies, you know, the impacted less fortunate in our community as well as neighbor and business interests," said Ford.
The principal and the academic dean at Cardinal Valley Elementary School in Lexington have resigned following a Fayette County Public Schools investigation into allegations of misconduct. Fayette Schools Spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall confirmed Monday afternoon that Cardinal Valley principal Ivonne Beegle and academic dean Suzanne Ray resigned on Friday. Responding to questions Monday, Deffendall said the school district could not provide details of the investigation or the nature of the allegations involved. But she said the allegations did not concern school finances, students or testing.
Late night or early morning travel in downtown Lexington this week could present a few challenges. Temporary lane closures are planned along Main and Vine streets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The closures are being done to accommodate striping work. The lane shut downs will run from ten p.m. until six a.m. all three days.
A proposed law that makes littering a civil violation will go before Lexington's full council for a vote. By making it a civil violation, Patricia Knight, who chairs "Keep Lexington Beautiful," says the city could prosecute more litter bugs. "People make the choice to litter, they should take the responsibility for it," said Knight. Knight says most littering cases currently don't result in punishment. She says the change would ease criminal prosecutions, but not eliminate them altogether.
A move to exempt the Bluegrass Airport from a tax that funds mandatory sewer improvements has failed. Officials at Bluegrass Airport believe Lexington should give the facility a tax break. They want their runways, taxi ways, and ramps exempted from the city's storm water management fee. The fee, which is paid by public and private entities, will finance a half billion dollars in sanitary and storm water sewer improvements. Airport officials argue these are public surfaces, much like roadways. Vice Mayor Linda Gorton, who chaired the storm water management task force, says an exemption would set a bad precedent
Talk continues at city hall over a proposed affordable housing trust fund for Lexington. The idea, which has been under study for years, would finance homes for low-income residents. Proponents say the city could raise two-million dollars each year for the fund with a half-percent tax on insurance premiums. Council member Chris Ford says the time to act is now. "Nobody can refute the need. We can leave these chambers right now and drive throughout our districts and recognize the need. The question is will we respond and react to the need," said Ford.
University of Kentucky police will increase their presence at the next UK home football game as a result of fights among tailgaters outside Saturday's game against Western Kentucky. A UK police officer received a bump and a bruise when one of the blows between two men landed near the right side of his face near his eye, according to Fayette District Court documents.
Fayette County's criminal electronic monitoring program has grown substantially over the last three years. The ankle bracelet system was reviewed during an Urban County Council meeting Tuesday. Jail officials say 42 people are on electronic monitors currently. 39 of those individuals have not gone to trial. Jail Sargent Chris Toombs says there's room for growth in the program. "We could have as many as need be. We can get over a hundred if that's what the community requires and if the judges and city leadership wants to get together, then the jail can make that happen," said Toombs.
Opening up Lexington to natural gas filling stations was a point of discussion today at City Hall. With natural gas cheap and plentiful, it's prompting interest among some motorists. Council member Bill Farmer has heard a lot of buzz about the potential of natural gas as a cheap, clean-burning fuel. "I just became familiar with it from a couple of conversations in terms of how much natural gas there is here naturally and how many pipelines this state and this part of the state to supply natural gas to other parts of the country," said Farmer.
There's interest in a total overhaul of the Lexington's historic downtown courthouse. Last week, the city indefinitely closed the building, which sits at the corner of Main and Upper Streets, to the public. Lexington General Services Commissioner Sally Hamilton says the 114 year old building has lead, asbestos and structural problems. "We know we have got a lot of lead in there, but we would like to have something in concrete that tells us exactly where the majority of that lead is and some of the recommendations on how to abate that," said Hamilton.
Lexington's effort to redo much of its sanitary and storm water sewer systems brings with it the cost of hiring consultants. The most recent engineering contract presented to Lexington's council was for a half-million dollars. Council member Ed Lane says it deserves close scrutiny. "This should be the highest due diligence of our council is to make sure that our process is protecting our taxpayers and ratepayers and make sure we're getting a fair return on our investment," said Lane. Mayor Jim Gray agrees….saying city officials are closely tracking expenses.
Madison County officials announced Wednesday the initial funding and launch of a regional study that will look at the economic impact of the plant that will destroy 523 tons of chemical weapons. The plant now under construction at Blue Grass Army Depot south of Richmond is about 55 percent finished. Destruction of the weapons is scheduled to start in 2020 and will be finished in 2023, if not earlier. The Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet will pay for the $120,000 study, which will look at how the weapons disposal plant influences the local and regional economy.
An anti-coal rally at the University of Kentucky ended Wednesday with police asking a group of protesters to leave the Joe Craft Center, the nerve center of UK Athletics. A couple dozen students marched first to UK's new Wildcat Coal Lodge, which houses the UK men's basketball team and was paid for by $7 million in donations from coal operators. They shouted "Ho, ho, hey, hey, Wildcat Coal Lodge needs a new name!" The protesters, part of the UK Beyond Coal Coalition, want UK Athletics to drop sponsorships from the coal industry, which has been a generous supporter of sports.
FRANKFORT –The innovative and cost-saving U.S. 68 Double Crossover Diamond Interchange in Lexington has been recognized by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials as one of the 10 best transportation projects in the United States.
The University of Kentucky is in final negotiations with Shriners Hospitals for Children to build a facility for the charitable organization on South Limestone across the street from UK's new patient bed tower. It's not clear what would happen to the Shriners hospital on Richmond Road, but C.J. Parrish, spokeswoman for Masonic Homes of Kentucky, confirmed Tuesday that the organization has had informal discussions with Shriners officials about buying the 29-acre property for a seniors community.
Records and publications that chronicle the Works Progress Administration, which provided millions of jobs at the height of the Great Depression, have found a home at the University of Kentucky. Three years in the making, the collection is among the most complete in the United States, said Sandee McAninch, head of the UK Federal Depository Unit. U.S. Archivist David S. Ferriero will present a speech to highlight the collection, titled "Putting America Back to Work During the Great Depression," at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at UK's William T. Young Library.
Public golf in Lexington is on an uptick. In recent years, the Urban County Government had been subsidizing the five golf courses by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then last spring the green fees were reduced substantially and a golfer loyalty program implemented. Director of Golf Mike Fields says it has resulted in a turnaround. "I think it allowed us to get our rates in line with what the market demand was. We were out pricing ourselves, we didn't have any programs in place to create any loyalty for our customers to keep returning to us," said Fields.
News that Lexmark will lay-off hundreds of local workers has city leaders worried about their finances. The Lexington-based firm will reduce it's workforce by 350 full-timers and 200 contract employees. According to one city official, such a job loss could result in a million dollar loss in revenues. Mayor Jim Gray says 'our hearts go out to this folks who have been hit with this bad news, losing their jobs.' Gray adds there can be no complacency when it comes to job creation.
It's more than seven weeks after July 4, and periodically, when the sun goes down, the Bluegrass still goes boom. That's why a committee of Lexington's Urban County Council passed a proposal to ban the purchase and detonation of aerial fireworks including bottle rockets, mortars and loud firecracker explosives.
They've heard from citizens across the state, so now members of a tax reform panel must make recommendations. The sixth and final public hearing by the Governor's Task Force on Tax Reform was held Tuesday in Lexington. Lexington council member George Meyers predicts state lawmakers will make tax changes this time.
Fire crackers and flying fireworks would be banned in Lexington under a proposal discussed today at city hall. Members of the Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to restore the city's fireworks ordinance of 20-10. A year later, the state legislature approved the expansion of fireworks, but allowed cities to adopt tighter restrictions. Council member Tom Blues says a flood of citizens complaints have come this summer. "It only takes one person to disturb and disrupt and annoy to the point of distraction almost an entire neighborhood," said Blues.
Funds for road resurfacing are now divided up in Lexington according to the greatest need. But that formula doesn't work well for Council member Tom Blues. His council district will get 117-thousand dollars, but Blues argues the need is nearly a million dollars in road work. "I've got 117 thousand dollars for one of the largest geographic districts in the city. I can virtually nothing with that money," said Blues. Kevin Wente is with the Environmental Quality and Public Works Department. He says the new formula emphasizes neighborhoods with the biggest problems.
Livestock, like small goats and pigs, remain prohibited in urban Lexington's backyards. A council committee this week rejected an exemption for those animals. Council Member Steve Kay sponsored the proposal."I think we gave it a good shot. We may bring it back at some later time. But, I think for the moment, it's off the table," said Kay. Critics of an exemption for goats and pigs worry about waste, noise and enforcement. Council member Doug Martin believes the vast majority of Lexington's residents don't want pigs or goats living in their neighborhoods.
Property taxes in Fayette County will remain unchanged. The city council stuck with tradition and voted Tuesday to keep the rates at their current level. Given Lexington's fiscal troubles, outgoing council member Doug Martin was disappointed with the action. "I think it is irresponsible to leave these rates alone, knowing what we know about the financial storm that is headed for this city," said Martin. Martin has repeatedly expressed concerns about the ever growing cost of police and fire fighter pensions. Council member Kevin Stinnett argued a tax increase would be hasty.
Lexington city leaders come back after a summer break with a taxing issue on their minds. Besides setting property tax rates, council members will seek funds for street lights. Those funds now come from an increased tax on utilities. Now, Vice Mayor Linda Gorton says they might reverse that tax increase and increase the city's streetlight tax.

Among the adventure travel outstanding air activities you can find the practice of paragliding, hang gliding and glider flights.
These sports or hobbies are aimed at making the ancient dream of flying come true.
Paragliding and hang gliding are practiced when taking off from a mountain, taking advantage of the wind streams going up the slopes to glide and ascend, managing long duration flights.
When time for landing comes, it is necessary to find a relatively small open space, as a result to the low or medium speed typical of this kind of flights.
In order to go on a gliding ride, you should generally go to an aeroclub and hire the services of some tourist operator that offers this kind of excursions or take the pilot course.
It is important to pay much attention to the indications provided by each activity guides and thus enjoyment will be guaranteed.

It is inevitable that we use passion to speak about fishing. A passion that invades each of us, anglers, in a different way, but usually by means of anecdotes or experiences.
Not only is fly-fishing passionate, but it also surpasses passion to such an extent that it is hard to put it into words. It can be told, like I am telling you at this very moment, but experience is and must be personal, always
The beauty of the lakes located in the Patagonian area or the large sea bathing its Atlantic coast offer the ideal frame for the practice of nautical sports.
Surfing is a very complete sport, which forces sportsmen to train. It is intriguing, exciting, exhausting and it breaks with the activities you can perform on solid ground.
Cold blood and steel nerves are required in order to practice kayaking.

Half Ironman course record matched
Posted at 11:21am Saturday 05 Jan, 2013 | By Letitia Atkinson firstname.lastname@example.com
Determination and concentration are being described as the two main driving forces being Graham O'Grady and Gina Crawford winning the Port of Tauranga Half Ironman today.
Graham matched the 2006 course record of 3.57.54.
Gina came in at a time of 4:15.10.

Graham crossing the finish line.
Speaking to SunLive after the race, Gina says the race went really well.
"It was the start of the season. I had quite a big break after competiting in Kona in October.
"It's a really good way to assess you performance. It was a great start to the year and I felt good all the way through the race."
She says the day is just perfect, the crowd is really supportive and she loved running off road tracks so the Mount was a great run.
"You've got beautiful scenery, it's a great trail.
"It is easy to forget you're in a race sometimes because you do tend to slow down and try and take in a bit of the scenery."
Gina will be going for her fifth title in the Iron Wanaka Challenge in two weeks and then Taupo Ironman in March.
Graham says everything went equally perfectly for him.
"I worked hard for this race and I really freshened up. Good build up, good taper, was really relaxed and confident in my ability.
"I just wanted to push it hard from the beginning, just see who could come with me."
He says having a good strength swim gave him a buffer heading into the ride section of the race.
"I have been riding well and I just put my head down and see what I could do. I had to try and ride a steady race and know that I still had to run 21kms as well if I want to win these races.
"I was riding good and seem to hold the same time gap and found that as the ride progressed I felt better and better and that gap opened up heading off the bike, which allowed me to set into my rhythm pretty good."
During the running leg of the race, Graham's fellow competitors gave him a run for the money but he managed to pick up the speed needed to get the job done.
"The guys came at me hard during the first 5kms, I was running really well and I was unsure if I should go or not and then my coach gave me an earful heading into the base and said get your butt back up there.
"So I did, I pushed hard to catch back up, once I was there I think it played a bit on my competitors and I kept pushing the pace a bit."
He says he opened up a gap at the turnaround and just pinned his ears back.
"I knew that if I was hurting my competitor would be hurting as well."

Library lamp motor question
jlc102482October 4, 2011
This is a really silly question, but I've got to ask it. I finally found a motor for my Victorian library lamp, but I don't think I'm operating it correctly. The chains are contained within the motor right now and when I tug on them, they give a little but seem to be in a locked position. I can't figure out how to release the chains so that they will extend down. Yes, I know - dumb! But it's driving me nuts.
This was an eBay find, so I'll include a link to the ad that has a couple photos:
Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Soft robots could benefit from new light-controlled hydrogel
By Darren Quick
May 29, 2013
For many people, the word "robot" is likely to conjure up images of metal, mechanical men not unlike Cygan. But instead of creating robots in our own image, the relatively new field of "soft robotics" takes inspiration from creatures such as octopuses, squids, starfish and caterpillars for soft, flexible robots that could squeeze through small spaces. Such robots could benefit from a new hydrogel developed at the University of California, Berkeley that flexes in response to light.
Developed by a team led by Seung-Wuk Lee, associated professor of bioengineering, the new material is formed by combining synthetic, elastic proteins with sheets of graphene. The synthetic proteins absorb water when cooled and release it when hot, while the graphene sheets generate heat when exposed to near infrared light.
The hydrogel was designed with one side being more porous than the other, so that when the material is exposed to near-infrared laser light, the graphene sheets heat up the surrounding proteins, which release water faster on one side than the other. This causes the material to bend, similar to the phenomenon that causes plants to grow towards light called phototropism.
"By combining these materials, we were able to mimic the way plant cells expand and shrink in response to light in a much more precisely controlled manner," says Lee. "Because the gels shrank unevenly, the material bent when the light hit it. We used these bending motions to demonstrate a hand-shaped hydrogel that exhibited joint-like articulation when exposed to light."
In addition to potential applications in soft robots, Lee says the light-controllable hydrogel could also find uses in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
The hydrogel developed by the UC Berkeley team is detailed in the journal Nano Letters and can be seen flexing in response to near-infrared light in the following video.

The Punisher - Mont Sainte Anne world cup 2011
A Mountain Biking video by Renners - 35,113 views
Mont Sainte Anne has been without a doubt the most physical and challenging race of the season so far. The very long track certainly favours those athletes who are both physically tuned and technical. Rain and mud, this year, have made things, if possible, even more difficult for the riders. However the stress was also felt by the bikes. The fast and rocky traits, combined with mud have seriously tested all the bike and their parts. Punctures, flat tyres, bad falls, broken chassis, brakes on fire and more and more, the race put everyone and everything under real pressure. Even the top players like Minaar and Atherton suffered under these extreme conditions. The race ended up punishing every little mistake and every indecision. In summary this was an unforgettable race.

2 senior staff leaving Ford's office
Two senior staffers in Mayor Rob Ford's office are leaving, including Nick Kouvalis, the controversial mastermind of Ford's election victory.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Two senior staffers in Mayor Rob Ford's office are leaving, including Nick Kouvalis, the controversial mastermind behind Ford's campaign who became his chief of staff.
Sources say Kouvalis is leaving within two to four weeks, on good terms with Ford and his councillor brother Doug, to return to his Windsor home and his political strategy firm Campaign Research.
Kouvalis will continue to be an unpaid adviser, however, and will be appointed to a task force to examine how to deliver on Ford's promise to contract out residential garbage pickup across the city.
Ford's chief policy adviser, Mark Towhey, will be Ford's acting chief of staff until a permanent replacement is found.
Also leaving is Andrew Pask, a policy and council liaison who was Ford's executive assistant when he was councillor for Ward 2 Etobicoke North.
Kouvalis was not expected to stay in Ford's office for long. He originally told friends he would be there three months, then said it might be six. In the end, he has lasted only seven weeks.
But sources say his desire to spend more time with his family, after commuting between Toronto and Windsor, was a strong factor in his decision.
The colourful former Chrysler worker who also served in the Navy is admired in political circles for taking over mid-campaign and steering the difficult-to-manage Ford to a resounding unlikely victory.
But Kouvalis's penchant for airing dirty political laundry has also made him a figure of puzzlement to the political establishment. After Ford's win he talked publicly about a subordinate operating a Twitter account of a fake supporter of Ford rival George Smitherman, and of another staffer anonymously calling radio host John Tory's show and challenging his integrity to dissuade him from entering the mayoral race.

- randomized clinical trial
Background Pulsed dye lasers (PDLs) are considered the treatment of choice for port-wine stains (PWS). Studies have suggested broadband intense pulsed light (IPL) to be efficient as well. So far, no studies have directly compared the PDL with IPL in a randomized clinical trial.
Objectives To compare efficacy and adverse events of PDL and IPL in an intraindividual randomized clinical trial.
Methods Twenty patients with PWS (face, trunk, extremities; pink, red and purple colours; skin types I–III) received one side-by-side treatment with PDL (V-beam Perfecta, 595 nm, 0·45–1·5 ms; Candela Laser Corporation, Wayland, MA, U.S.A.) and IPL (StarLux, Lux G prototype handpiece, 500–670 and 870–1400 nm, 5–10 ms; Palomar Medical Technologies, Burlington, MA, U.S.A.). Settings depended on the preoperative lesional colour. Treatment outcome was evaluated by blinded, clinical evaluations and by skin reflectance measurements.
Results Both PDL and IPL lightened PWS. Median clinical improvements were significantly better for PDL (65%) than IPL (30%) (P = 0·0004). A higher proportion of patients obtained good or excellent clearance rates with the PDL (75%) compared with IPL (30%) (P = 0·0104). Skin reflectance also documented better results after PDL (33% lightening) than IPL (12% lightening) (P = 0·002). Eighteen of 20 patients preferred to receive continued treatments with PDL (P = 0·0004). No adverse events were observed with PDL or IPL.
Conclusions Both the specific PDL and IPL types of equipment used in this study lightened PWS and both were safe with no adverse events. However, the PDL conveyed the advantages of better efficacy and higher patient preference.

The mission of CAzBA is to promote the enjoyment of recreational butterflying by providing educational, research, and recreational opportunities to schools and the public throughout central Arizona.
Much of a monarch butterfly's (Danaus plexippus) life is spent migrating between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada-a journey that for some individuals can cover over 3,000 miles. However, this journey has become more dangerous and less successful for many because of deforestation, illegal logging, increased development, agricultural expansion, livestock raising, forest fires, and other threats to their migratory paths and summer and overwintering habitats. Since 1995, the Wildlife Without Borders - Mexico Program has made a continuing commitment to support the conservation of monarch butterflies.

A tally of monarch butterflies wintering in Mexico rose to 56. 5 million this year from a record low of 34 million last year but conservationists said on Tuesday the increase was too slight to reduce the threat of extinction facing the insect.

The Central Arizona Butterfly Association ran the 8th annual butterfly count at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on 6 September 2014. This count is part of a national system of butterfly counts managed by the North American Butterfly Association. There are over 400 registered count sites that are visited each year in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The BTA count was first done in 2007 and has run every year since. Each year counters visit several areas within a 15 mile diameter circle centered on Superior High School. Sites visited include the Picketpost Trailhead, the grounds of BTA, the Oak Flats area, the town of Superior, and the Apache Tears riparian area.
This year 14 count participants tallied over 631 individuals of 35 species. The sites with the highest number of species seen were BTA (24) and the Oak Flat area (25). The species with high numbers of individuals seen were Cloudless Sulphur (250!), Pipevine Swallowtail (79), Sleepy Orange (58), Queen (40), Empress Leilia (39), and American Snout (37). This year's count was not exceptional. To give some perspective the highest count numbers seen in any previous year were in 2010 when 55 species were sighted and over 1000 individual butterflies. - Ron Rutowski

It was a good trip to east Clear Creek with great sunny weather and a decent number of butterflies. Despite the great sunny weather, the butterfly diversity was low. Target species for East Clear Creek are Northern Crescent and Long Dash. We managed to see two Northern Crescents, but dipped on the Long Dash.
Butterflies: Orange Sulphur (Colias eurytheme), Queen Alexandra's Sulphur (Colias alexandra), Checkered White (Pontia protodice), Sylvan Hairstreak (Satyrium sylvinus), Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus), Marine Blue (Leptotes marina), Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon), Reakirt's Blue (Echinargus isola), Weidemeyer's Admiral (Limenitis weidemeyerii), Atlantis Fritillary (Speyeria atlantis), Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa), Northern Crescent (Phyciodes cocyta), 'Arizona' Silver-spotted Skipper ( Epargyreus clarus), Pahaska Skipper (Hesperia pahaska), Tawny-edged Skipper (Polites themistocles), Taxiles Skipper (Poanes taxiles)
