The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a musical based on the 1996 Disney film of the same name, which in turn was inspired by the 1831 Victor Hugo novel of the same name. It has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and book by James Lapine. The musical premiered in 1999 in Berlin, Germany as Der Glöckner von Notre Dame (literally translated in English, The Bellringer of Notre Dame). It was produced by Walt Disney Theatrical, the company's first musical to premiere outside the U.S. It ran for three years, becoming one of Berlin's longest-running musicals. It is a lot closer to the original source material than the film.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been highly praised due to its darker mature tone and its gothic set design, among other things.
Notably, the piece has a highly complex melodic structure, relying on a series of musical leitmotifs which are reprised either instrumentally or vocally. Each of the main character has a theme (Out There for Quasimodo, God Help the Outcasts for Esmeralda, Hellfire for Frollo, A Guy Like You for the Gargoyles, and Rest and Recreation for Phoebus). Clopin's The Bells of Notre Dame acts as a narrative devise to tell parts of the story. "Top Of The World" and "Heaven's Light" serve as themes for Quasimodo and Esmeralda, "Out of Love" is a theme for Phoebus and Esmeralda, and the song "Esmeralda" mostly serves as a theme for Frollo and Esmeralda.
The first English version of the musical was performed by The King's Academy in 2013 (though other sanitised or abridged versions were also performed earlier).
The musical opened on June 5, 1999, for the opening of the Musical theater Berlin (now Theater am Potsdamer Platz).[3] After a successful run, it closed in June 2002.[4] Directed by Lapine, the German translation was by Michael Kunze, choreography by Lar Lubovitch, set design by Heidi Ettinger, costume design by Sue Blane, lighting by Rick Fisher, sound by Tony Meola and projections by Jerome Sirlin.[5][6][7]
This was Disney's first musical to premiere outside the US,[4] and it became one of Berlin's longest-running musicals to date. As with Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, Der Glöckner Von Notre Dame opened three years after the release of the movie on what it is based.
The musical is a darker, more gothic adaptation of the film. According to translator Michael Kunze, he was " 'campaigning to allow Esmeralda to die at the end, as she does in the book. There was a feeling that the audience would be depressed if Esmeralda dies. I feel that a European audience would see this as a very romantic ending ... two lost souls finally find each other. People will cry, but they'll be moved. And it is a very romantic ending.' "[8] The producers wanted to see how "preview audiences react before making the final decision."[8]
An original cast recording was recorded in German.[9]
English adaptations[edit]
The film has been adapted into various musicals. Before 2013, these were always based on the film rather than the German stage musical. Some examples are the 1996 - 2002 The Hunchback of Notre Dame: A Musical Adventure, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Disney-MGM Studios.
In 2008, lyricist Stephen Schwartz said, "I think we're starting up Hunchback of Notre Dame, hopefully, next year [2009]."[10] In a November 2010 interview, composer Alan Menken confirmed that he was working on an American production: "We're bringing that one back, too! ... we are still using James Lapine's book."[11]
On January 9, 2013, it was announced that the musical will finally be produced for a Broadway performance with a new book by Peter Parnell and new songs by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, who did the songs for the movie and the original musical.[12] Many news sources have noted that they hope the production retains the dark and Gothic qualities of the German stage version, which they feel was censored by Disney studios for the film.[13]
In April 2013, an English adaptation of Der Glöckner von Notre Dame by The King's Academy Fine Arts Department was staged in The King's Academy Sports & Fine Arts Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.[14] According to TKA, "Walt Disney Productions...selected The King's Academy Theatre to adapt and premier their [1996 film]".[15] The company collaborated with Disney Executive Studios.[16] They explained via YouTube that "We received a license from Disney Productions to premiere the English version of Hunchback. Disney is now workshopping this musical for a possible run on Broadway. Our director, Mr. David Snyder, recently returned from NYC where he helped to cast talent for the new show!"[17] This version does not include all the songs from Der Glöckner von Notre Dame, and excludes the deaths of Esmerelda and Frollo. Nevertheless, it is essentially a translation of that musical as opposed to a new adaption of the film. The entire musical is up on YouTube.
The musical began its North American premiere at La Jolla Playhouse on October 28, 2014 and is scheduled to run through December 7, 2014. The production is directed by Scott Schwartz and the creative team includes Chase Brock as the choreographer, Michael Kosarin as the music supervisor and arranger, Michael Starobin as the orchestrator, Alexander Dodge as the scenic designer, Alejo Vietti as the costume designer, Howell Binkley as the lighting designer, and Gareth Owen as the sound design. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had a workshop in February 2014.[18][19] The La Jolla Playhouse production will then transfer to the Paper Mill Playhouse from March 4 through April 5, 2015.[20] [21] Dizney Coast to Coast describes it as a "Victor Hugo adaption with the score of Disney's Hunchback", and "truly a work of art".[22]
Synopsis: Original Berlin production[edit]
Act One[edit]
In 1482 Paris, Clopin, an elderly gypsy beggar narrates the origin of the titular hunchback ("Die Glocken Notre Dames" - "The Bells of Notre Dame"). A group of gypsies sneak illegally into Paris, but are ambushed by the Minister of Justice, Claude Frollo, and his guards. One of the gypsy women attempts to flee with her baby, but Frollo catches her and kills her outside of Notre Dame. He also tries to kill the baby, saying that it is a "child of Satan," but is confronted by the Archdeacon who accuses him of murdering the gypsy woman. Frollo accepts the Archdeacon's offer to raise the child in the cathedral's bell tower, naming him Quasimodo.
Twenty years later, Quasimodo develops into a kind yet isolated young man who dreams of seeing life outside the bell tower, but is told by Frollo that he is a monster and would be rejected by the outside world. A trio of living stone gargoyles: Loni, Antoine, and Charles serve as Quasimodo's only company and friends. The gargoyles encourage Quasimodo to attend the annually-held Festival of Fools. He goes but is stopped by Frollo. The gargoyles urge him to disobey and venture out ("Zuflucht" - "Sanctuary"). After Frollo leaves, Quasimodo decides to go out for just one day ("Draußen" - "Out There").
While the Parisians continue their preparations for the festival, Clopin, King of the Gypsies, prepares his gypsies for the festival at their underground hide-out, the Court of Miracles ("Tanz auf dem Seil" - "Balancing Act"). Their attention is taken by a newcomer, a young gypsy dancer named Esmeralda. Meanwhile, Captain Phoebus arrives in Paris excited about his new promotion as Captain of the Guard ("Ein bisschen Freude" - "Rest and Recreation"). He flirts with a young girl but is suddenly interrupted by a fleeing gypsy accused of theft. The gypsy pleads innocence but Frollo arrives and orders his soldiers to arrest the gypsy. Frollo tells Phoebus that the city has become overrun by gypsies and that he plans to find the Court of Miracles and eliminate them all.
As the Festival begins ("Drunter drüber" - "Topsy Turvy"), Quasimodo, despite Frollo's advisories, attends the festival and he is celebrated for his bizarre appearance, only to be humiliated by the crowd after Frollo's men start a riot. Frollo refuses to help Quasimodo, but Esmerelda, a gypsy, intervenes,frees the hunchback, and uses a magic trick to disappear. Frollo confronts Quasimodo and sends him back to the cathedral.
Phoebus is dissatisfied with Frollo's methods and refuses to arrest her for alleged witchcraft inside Notre Dame and has her confined to the cathedral. Esmeralda, encouraged by the Archdeacon, offers a prayer to God to help her and the outcast ("Hilf den Verstoß'nen" - "God Help the Outcasts"). Meanwhile, Frollo orders Phoebus to post a guard at every door to ensure that Esmeralda does not escape.
Esmeralda befriends and follows Quasimodo to the bell tower and is captivated by the view of the city ("Hoch über der Welt" - "On Top of the World"). Quasimodo helps her escape Notre Dame out of gratitude for defending him. Esmeralda entrusts Quasimodo with a pendant containing a map to the gypsies' hideout, the Court of Miracles. Quasimodo expresses his feelings, as he has been touched by Esmeralda's kindness ("Das Licht des Himmels" - "Heaven's Light"). Meanwhile, Frollo soon develops lustful feelings for Esmeralda and upon realizing them, he begs the Virgin Mary (referring to her as Maria) to save him from her "spell" to avoid eternal damnation ("Das Feuer der Hölle" - "Hellfire").
After discovering that Esmeralda escaped, Frollo conducts a city-wide manhunt to find Esmeralda. Pheobus, now realizing Frollo's evil reputation, defies him after being ordered to burn down the home of an innocent family and is ordered to be executed, but flees. Frollo and his men begin to search the city ("Esmeralda"). Phoebus is briefly injured and falls into a river, but Esmeralda rescues him.
Act Two[edit]
The soldiers continue searching the city ("Trommeln in der Stadt" - "City Under Siege"). Having rescued Phoebos, Esmeralda tells him to seek refuge at Notre Dame while she returns to the Court of Miracles. Meanwhile, the gargoyles convince Quasimodo that Esmeralda finds him romantically intriguing, and they reassure him about her safety ("Ein Mann wie du" - "A Guy Like You"). The Archdeacon brings Phoebus to the bell tower and Phoebus, knowing Quasimodo to be a friend of Esmeralda's, asks Quasimodo to hide him.
Frollo returns to Notre Dame later that night and realizing that Quasimodo helped Esmeralda escape, bluffs that he knows about the Court of Miracles and that he intends to attack at dawn. After Frollo leaves, Phoebus comes out of hiding and asks Quasimodo to help him find the Court of Miracles and warn Esmeralda. Quasimodo refuses to leave the cathedral again but Phoebus and the gargoyles teach Quasimodo the value of devotion and selflessness ("Weil du liebst" - "Out of Love").
Using Esmeralda's amulet as their guide, Quasimodo and Phoebus find the Court of Miracles to warn the gypsies. Esmeralda and Phoebus decide to leave the city together while Quasimodo, heartbroken, watches Esmeralda leave with the man she truly loves ("Weil du liebst" - "Out of Love" (Reprise)). However, Frollo follows and captures the gypsies present.
Esmeralda refuses Frollo's advances exchange for becoming his mistress. Quasimodo, tied up in the bell tower, refuses to help and tells the gargoyles to leave him ("Wie aus Stein" - "Made of Stone"). As dawn approaches, Esmeralda awaits her execution in the dungeon with Phoebus hoping that one day the world will be a better place ("Einmal" - "Someday").
Frollo prepares to burn Esmeralda at the stake, but Quasimodo, chained up inside the Bell Tower, manages to break free and unties her body from the stake, bringing her to the cathedral. Phoebus then frees himself and the gypsies and rallies the citizens of Paris against Frollo and his men, who attempt to break into the cathedral. Quasimodo calls upon the saints and the gargoyles before pouring molten copper onto the streets to ensure no one enters but Frollo successfully breaks in himself.In the cathedral, Esmeralda thanks Quasimodo for being a good friend and dies from smoke inhalation. Frollo finds Quasimodo and pursues him to the balcony where Quasimodo pushes Frollo over the balcony's edge. Encouraged by Antoine, Quasimodo throws Frollo to his death in the molten copper. The gargoyles comfort Quasimodo and tell him the world is full of good as well as evil. The Parisians watch as Quasimodo carries Esmeralda's body through the square with Phoebus by his side. Clopin appears again and asks what makes a monster and what makes a man ("Finale Ultimo" - "Grand Finale").

Changes from the 1996 film[edit]
In adapting the film to a stage musical, a number of changes have been made:
For the original Berlin production, the gargoyles' names have been changed from Victor, Hugo and Laverne to Charles, Antoine, and Loni, after actors who have played Quasimodo in the past. The gargoyles' comedy in the musical is greatly toned down; they sing in many more songs, and they are also firmly established as figments of Quasimodo's imagination. Frollo's past is expanded to include the fact that he was a priest, which was featured in the original novel. Esmeralda's death is also retained and Quasimodo kills Frollo by throwing him as opposed to the film version, which Frollo merely loses his balance and falls.
In the North American production, "The Bells of Notre Dame" is rewritten to include Frollo's past as a priest as well as his relationship with Jehan before becoming the cathedral's archdeacon. The gargoyles, Victor, Hugo and Laverne (Known as Charles, Antoine, and Loni in the Berlin production), who are the comic reliefs in the 1996 movie, are cut and replaced by a congregation and some of the original characters from the novel are added, as well as songs such as "The Tavern Song", "Rhythm of the Tambourine," "Flight into Egypt" and "In the Place of Miracles."
Design features[edit]
- Set
The set for the original production utilized many large hydraulically controlled boxes that can be placed at every conceivable height and level, and used highly detailed photographic images. The finale of act one shows Phoebus' plummet from a bridge over the Seine after being shot by an arrow.[23]
- Sound
The bell effect is produced live in the orchestra pit with both chimes and at times synthesizers and routed through the console, a Cadac J-Type with motorized faders.[26] Tony Meola noted that the Berlin theatre was "really quite good acoustically for a large musical. It's not too reverberant, yet reverberant enough to make the orchestra sound good and you can hear the words of the songs."[26]
- Projections
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in medieval Paris with the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris as a central location. "I try to draw from elements of the period," says Jerome Sirlin, who spent a few days in Paris taking photographs of the Seine and of Notre Dame and the views from the cathedral. "The pictures served as source material," he explains, noting that he used versions of the cathedral's gargoyles and other architectural elements to capture the essence of Notre Dame. "You can create a lot of movement with the projections. The audience believes what you tell them if you do it right."[26]
There are projections used in every scene of the show. "Sometimes they are more for scenery or an effect, a texture or an image," continues Sirlin. "There are a variety of ways of working with the large-format projectors and defining your gobos a little differently." An incredibly beautiful use of the projections is a scene that takes place on a bridge above, and then in, the Seine."[26]
1999 production[edit]
Matt Wolf of Variety said that "The prevailing tone, indeed, is far and away the most somber of the three Disney film-to-stage shows yet." He wrote that "The design is likely to be the show's talking point in any language, coupling as it does the best of British and American talent with a new $100 million dollar-plus playhouse specifically adapted to accommodate the demands of the piece. The aquamarine stage curtain, Gothic tracery already encoded within it, rises to reveal set designer Heidi Ettinger's ever-shifting array of cubes that join with Jerome Sirlin's projections to conjure the medieval world of the Parisian belltower inhabited by Sarich's misshapen orphan Quasimodo, his unyielding master Frollo (Norbert Lamla) and a trio of very chatty gargoyles."[7] One minor criticism of the musical was the costume for Frollo, which was a big departure from what he wore in the film.[citation needed]

Horse and buggy!

posted Oct 24 2011 2:57PM
I spent some time in Amish country on Saturday and holy good god. They still get around on horse and buggy! I've HEARD this was true, but I finally got to see it for myself and WOW. Talk about traditional ... it's kind of cool that they stick to what they believe in and stick to the traditions and all ... but I felt like I traveled back in time.
Boyfriend and I went to meet up with his parents, who came for a dinner train at Strasburg Railroad. It was pretty awesome! We toured the train museum, boarded the train, and then got served dinner as we rode around. It was old fashioned and really yum!
I couldn't get over the number of horse and buggy we saw ... and had to sit behind (because you treat it like a car) on the road. The amish even go around selling "quillows" to the visitors ... which I guess are quilts that fold into pillows. (I'm not gonna lie, I wish I was around when that guy came around bc that sounds like an enjoyable purchase.)
Sunday was spent doing some MUCH needed cleaning! It's nice to finally see the floor again! :) Don't you hate when it gets THAT bad?! Hope Monday's treating you well! XO

Bruins Talk
Bruins Insider Joe Haggerty gives you a quick spin around the NHL with his links for today.
Dennis Seidenberg made it through Tuesdays full practice with down-low battle drills and plenty of skating, and did so while paired back together with 19-year-old rookie Dougie Hamilton.
Brad Marchand was not at this morning's skate after taking a big hit against the Jets on Monday.
The Patriots season ended prematurely. The Celtics season seems to have ended before it began. The Red Sox? Don't get us started. It's the Bruins who take center stage now in hopes to bring home a championship.
It hasn't taken much time to find out that Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton is right where he needs to be here with the Bruins.
Count Claude Julien among the fans who went to bed a little upset after the Patriots loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
The Bruins were without one of their top defenders in Dennis Seidenberg on Monday, but Claude Julien is hopeful he'll be playing Wednesday.

Kitchen Design Review
I would like some feedback on my kitchen design.
Some info:
The doors on the "top" lead to the deck. I do lots of grilling. They are 5' doors, the right side is 5' from the top right corner of the room.
The blue line is what used to be a partial wall that we have already removed to open the room up to the living room.
The opening on the bottom is 30" and is 3' from the bottom right corner. It leads to the "dining room". We do not currently use this as the dining room and more as an extension of the kitchen for additional storage. The wall that this opening is in is a load bearing wall. I would love to remove it but don't want to spend that kind of money.
The window on the wall on the right is 36" and is 6' from the bottom right corner.
The island as configured is 5'6" x 5'. There is 3' from the top wall and 3' from the cabinets on the bottom wall. There is 4'3" from the sink.
On the bottom wall, the first cabinet is a wall oven/microwave cabinet. Then a bit of counter top, and then a pantry cabinet.
Thanks in advance!
II'm no expert, but I think 3' aisle b/w oven wall and island would be too tight. Maybe you should consider a range instead of a wall oven, and have MW on a shelf or in the island. If you just use the exterior wall and have the island 6,5-7' long it can be better imo. Also, for fridge doors to open more than 90 degrees consider a 9 or 12 tall pullout b/w the wall and the fridge.
Sorry about the image, the app doesn't let you add measurements or anything. Downside of using an iPad I guess. I've added them manually to the design attached to this post.
I wasn't really thinking on the cooktop being on the edge. Obviously not good. Thanks for the input on that. I was trying to get as much continuous counter space as I could, but obviously that doesn't work.
Since I don't have a lot of flexibility on the width of the island, I decided to see what it looks like if I rotate the cooktop/island. It won't "look" out into that room, but would look out the back doors. This way I could make a wider, narrower island, which opens the walkways up as well. I added a prep sink to help since now the stove is at a weird angle to the sink by the window.
Please see the attached.
Same structural measurements as above:
The doors on the "top" are 5' doors, the right side is 5' from the top right corner of the room.
The opening on the bottom is 30" and is 3' from the bottom right corner.
The window on the wall on the right is 36" and is 6' from the bottom right corner.
Thanks for the input!
Is there a reason you are absolutely set on an island cooktop? The island could be so useful as a prep/serving/seating space, which is all disrupted by a stove. Prep and enjoy the view, while moving the cooktop to somewhere safer and with better ventilation options.
Is your window movable?
Do you have a family? -Anyone who will be tromping past the cook at the stove to access the fridge?
rhome410: We currently do most of our prep next to the stove, currently on an 18" counter.
I'm not set on an island cooktop, but my feeling is that either the sink or the cooktop would go in the island as I cant seem to make all three major appliances work well when all three are on the perimeter. The wall on the right is the only outside wall, and the window gets in the way of putting the stove on it. That would be the only easy venting situation. For the island, I was just going to do a downdraft, which I understand don't work well, but we rarely turn our vent on anyway.
I suppose the window is movable. We have actually discussed just closing it off, but that is undesirable for obvious reasons. The view isn't much (It looks into our neighbors back/side yard and the side of their house), but obviously the natural light is good. Where would you propose moving it too?
Family... Yeah, hadn't really thought of that. Guess they could go around the island, but that probably isn't likely to happen.

As you probably have noticed, there are great posts about the Intel AMT SCS 7.0 (check this or this for example). This post is not about all new features, it's just a look to the previous 5.X version to see the benefits of migrating. The 7.0 version has been available for some time, but there are always environments where AMT systems (and AMT infrastructure) aren't changed frequently. This is not just an AMT/SCS related issue, maybe some of you have seen Windows XP systems working around.

A few weeks back Ajith Illendula wrote a quick little blog about the new SDK 7.0. While Ajith is always a good read, sometimes all those words just seem to blur together. So, for those of you who are a little more visual, we've published a video highlighting all the latest developments in the latest release. Joey Edelstein, Senior Technical Information Engineer, takes to the screen with his depiction of what's new with SDK 7.0. Take a look:

turned off, as long as the platform is connected to line power and to a network. Independent

Hello. Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 onto an old laptop (a Fujitsu AMILO Pro), and I'm having some difficulties connecting to a wireless network.
The native Ubuntu network manager picks up the wireless network. When attempting to connect I'm presented with a password prompt. Upon entering the password correctly, I'm prompted with the password again. It never accepts my password. I've tried to muck around with the wireless connection's settings, to no avail.
I've also installed Wicd Network Manager, which doesn't pick up any wireless networks (I find this odd).

Though HSBC's strategy of trimming the fat, or should we say relocating the fat, will be a welcome move for shareholders, how will it impact the economy?
August 4, 2011 3:15 by Eva Fernandes
HSBC has been the subject of much debate here on Kippreport; though in the past our conversations tend to focus on the customer service of the glo-cal bank, this week is the exception. Of course we are talking about the announcement everyone is talking about: the decision to both layoff and hire an incredible number of staff.
HSBC who reported a $11.5 billion pre-tax profit for the first half of 2011, which was up from $11.1 billion a year ago, said that as part of its efforts of slimming down operations, it will lay off over 30,000 jobs before 2013. Prior to this announcement HSBC had laid off over 5,000 employees during the past six months.
And though the rather optimistic pre-tax profit comes as a welcome change for shareholders, there is no denying that not all of HSBC's global operations performed equally. For one thing, profit from Europe made up only 19 percent of the total, a considerable drop from the 32 percent it enjoyed during the same period last year. In the US, HSBC announced that it will be getting rid of more than 40 percent of its branch locations (the bulk of which are in upstate New York).
On the other hand, HSBC performed well in emerging markets: the bank got 76 percent of its profit from Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, up from 64 percent during the same period last year, according to its Monday earnings statement. Compare that chunky figure to the measly 5 percent the North American business contributed to HSBC half year profit.
And as HSBC noted in its earnings report "Growth in the U.S. and Europe is likely to remain sluggish as long as the impact of high debt levels and government budget cuts weigh on economic activity." In order to combat that, chief executive Stuart Gulliver said that the bank is planning on…

St. Therese helps me understand: "the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy.if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus' garden. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be." (Story of a Soul)

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: St. Therese, Little Flower, humility, roses, Jennifer Hartline
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) - "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2
I'm reminded over and over that I have a great deal to learn where humility is concerned. As painful as it is, the joyful irony is that only a God of infinite love and mercy would bother to teach this lesson.
Here's what I suspect: much of what I think are the evidences of humility in my life are really something else entirely. There's an ongoing skirmish between a desire for holiness (tainted with pride), discouragement over failings (tainted with pride) and goals of using my talents in the best way possible ~ for God's glory of course. (Also tainted with pride.) Ugh.
The discouragement part is quite seductive actually, because it can give the appearance of sorrowful humility when it is often wounded pride. Humility does not mean I must dislike myself. To speak ill of myself, to mentally berate myself over my flaws and mistakes is not proof of humility. It is evidence of pride. It just means I've not lived up to my expectation of myself, or worse, my delusion of grandeur.
If I fail to live up to my standard of perfection I fear that I will be less esteemed by others. So I scold myself, feel sorry for myself, and cover my pride by declaring what a weak sinner I am, wailing "dear Jesus, please forgive me!"
In this way, I can feel superior to those wretched souls that don't even have the decency to say they've done wrong and ask for pardon. You see, I'm less sorry for the particular sin, less sorry that I have offended my Lord than I am for having revealed the humiliating truth that I am not nearly as grand as I'd like to think I am.
Hiding within this discouragement is the unspoken craving for distinction ~ I must conquer my failings and defects in order to achieve the reputation I seek. This is what tarnishes the desire for holiness and turns the focus on me rather than on Jesus. In my secret heart - in hidden thoughts I never utter out loud - I fear that what Almighty God has ordained for me and my life is too modest, too common, too bland for my taste, and I try to persuade Him for more glory for myself while claiming to seek only His.
I want what I want, and I beg Him to want it as well.
I must ask myself if I truly am willing to take the place God has ordained for me today without yearning for something "better" or more. As St. Therese put it, not every flower can be a rose. Some are wildflowers or daisies or violets. I realize how much of my heart wants to be a rose and nothing else, because I fear that otherwise, I will not be special to Him at all.
I fear He will not even see me as He walks past and will instead reach only for the stunning red rose, smile approvingly at it, and step on my tiny plain petals as He goes away. I fear being forgotten, dismissed and rejected.
Why is it not enough that He made me in His image, shed His blood for my salvation, and loves me just as I am? It's not enough because I don't actually believe Him; not entirely. There remains a troubled place in my heart where I don't believe Him when He says, "Child, you are Mine," for I think to myself, "Why? I'm not a rose. I'm just a wildflower. I can't believe you even notice me at all."
My longing to be loved is mixed with fear and ego until it becomes a strange form of arrogance. I don't take God at His word; I call Him a liar. And I push Him away in anger, and then run after Him to plead with Him to see my virtues, begging Him to love me. This interior storm develops over and over again in my heart, and it will never be quieted without humility.
To be humble is to be emptied -- emptied of myself. It isn't wallowing in my wretchedness; it is bathing in His mercy. Pride dwells on all my offenses and festers like an infected sore. Humility wastes no time in carrying all offenses to Jesus with confidence to receive forgiveness and start again.
Humility is being content to be who, where and what God asks of me today, and nothing more. I make my whole self - body, mind and heart - an empty vessel to be filled by Him as He sees fit. Whether rose or wildflower, noticed or unseen, praised or ignored, it must make no difference. Nothing I could ever do or be can compare to who He is. The glory is all His. "All our righteous acts are like filthy rags." Isaiah 64:6
I am small, ordinary, and quite sinful, yes. All that is true. But I am also His! He has said so and it is true. Everything He has is mine. It's outrageous but it's true! He loves me forever, and for me just to turn my eyes toward His face brings Him delight. "For the Lord takes delight in His people; he crowns the humble with salvation." Psalm 149:4
I am His child and He will not reject me. "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1John 3:1
It's actually a relief to know that I am not fooling God. He knows this fearful, perverted "humility" lives in my heart, preventing me from realizing the peace of true humility. He will take care of it if I let Him; even in this I have to let go, trust Him to keep His word and wait.
My progress toward holiness follows my cooperation, not my command. It will not be accomplished on my schedule; I cannot rush or cajole Him into action. Learning to wait is part of learning humility. I have no one to impress - I only have One to love.
St. Therese helps me understand: "the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy.if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus' garden. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be." (Story of a Soul)
A heart that is humble rests confidently in His mercy and love, and has no fear of being little or unnoticed, nor any need for adulation. He may be walking with the red rose in His hand, smelling its sweet fragrance, but He will also lie down on the grass that is covered in a bed of small wildflowers, and He will rest His head on their simple beauty, enjoying their soft comfort. I can think of nothing sweeter than to be that wild flower that's pressed close to His heart as He lies down to rest. That is all my soul really longs for.

A rise in alternatives to driving (2 letters)

For those of us concerned about global warming, it is heartwarming to see that people are adapting to fewer miles on the roads and the use of public transportation. The discussion of the trend to use bicycles, as well as the picture accompanying your article, is wonderful and contributes to the health of Colorado residents. Denver's commitment to bicycles will pay dividends for hundreds of years.
I hope the new director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, whether Shailen Bhatt or someone else, will continue this trend that helps avoid paving our beautiful state over with roads.

I applaud Rick Plenge and his dedication to use new means of transportation, but I am concerned to see the picture of him riding the streets of Denver without a helmet.
As a pediatrician, I have spent many a patient visit urging children to wear helmets. I have found that parents are the most effective role models for their children. Adults should take on the responsibility for safety. Seat belts, and helmets for both bicycles and motorcycles, save lives and protect brains.
I would hope that Plenge would use his brain and start using a helmet when on his bike.

From the rape bordellos of the Balkans to the mass murder by AIDS in Afrika, women are being pushed to understand men's society and, most importantly, ourselves, in a different way.

Mirror of Production, The (Jean Baudrillard)Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 17:22.
In this essay, Jean Baudrillard elaborates a radical critique of Marxism through its deployment of productivity and value (abstract labor, and deductively, useful labor—or Man, "man as labor"—value in general). The two-fold character of labor is a necessary conceptual tool for analyzing the capitalist mode of production, but to the question of how to destroy the capitalist mode of production, it offers little. Rallying behind one form of value does not aide the destruction of the system of value production. read more »

How to hollow out a stump?
My husband brought me some stumps(chunks of a downed tree) but being a husband, they are solid and not the hollowed center ones I asked for. I'm pretty tool challenged but can anyone tell me how I can make these stumps hollowed out some on top so I can plant semps or sedum in them?
You can take a chisel and a hammer and chisel out an opening....time consuming, but it will get the results you want eventually. You can also take a large drill bit and keep drilling holes in the log, right next to each other, until you have drilled out the whole area. You can use a chisel too and chip out between the holes. Mark the drill bit with a piece of masking tape so you know where to stop drilling each time.
If hubby has a band saw, he can cut the log in half, cut the center out and then glue it back together. We do this for birdhouses, but it may not stay together if you are planting in it.

Re: Obviously!
Looks like you're an *even more* secret Fanboi, Mr "AC-whos-post-history-is-concealed".
1604 posts • joined 24 May 2011
Looks like you're an *even more* secret Fanboi, Mr "AC-whos-post-history-is-concealed".
Sorry, but Skype - for all its problems - is at least platform agnostic, and even Fanbois realise that not all their friends have been absorbed into the Apple Collective.
So there's a surprising amount of iphone users with it installed.
Stop smoking.
More money for games, longer lasting hardware and wetware.
Personally, I'd love to see the 'revenue' and 'registered users' graphs with markers for everytime they added to or bumped the pricing model in ebay. I'd put real money down that they showed a decrease every time.
They really do take the piss now.
Wow. Typed that elegantly intelectual response in Office 2013 I see...
Ok, so I still prefer 2003, and the button bar simplicity of it all. Maybe it's because I'm a simpleton, and I do simple stuff, up to and including mail merges.
This just looks like...a f*ing mess. Look at all that crap - buttons, pullsdowns, menus...total overload. ooh, so MS chose a simplier font...sorry guys but that doesn't disguise the barrage of buttonry on the screen, and the learning curve to make use/find everything.
Still nothing here to tempt me to upgrade. So until Office starts writing my letters for me telepathically, I'll stick to 2003.
If i cranked this up for 1 second, could I:
- put a really big hole in something
- plunge the US into complete darkness, and trigger another recession?
Methink the "get the coat icon" would be more appropriate for that howler...
Being registered != being approved
Unfortunately you can't opt out of the vehicle being hit by one of these babies...and the results are particularly gruesome, even if you somehow survive the original shot.
More pressing than the apps is the inherent lack of enterprise security eco-system - a gap companies like MobileIron are trying to fill, but it's a bit like fitting the square peg in the round hole.
Unrelated query: Why is the windows user icon a tramp?
Inappropriate content? So that's Lancet, New Scientist and all the works of Darwin banned then...
The shape of this makes me crave cake and participation in dangerous testing for some reason.
Just got ICS for my Note. Can't see anything on the JB spec list to give me an urgent desire to update.
Now if it could give me 12 hours usage under moderate/heavy usage, *that" would do it for me.
I do have to confess though - as a recent Android convert from Apple - I do prefer Apple's "available immediately to all" approach. Why can't Google do the OS releases (as per Apple), and the manufacturers do their own "bloatware/UI tweaks" seperately?
Foxconns dollars with go further than Apple's though, given the low cost base of China. It would not surprise me if it's "effective" profits are 2-3x more than the dollar figure.
This is assuming that money stays or is spent in China. If it needed to important anything from abroad - say strong CHF'ed Switzerland - then it's more of an issue. You'll only get 12 toblerones from your £1.1bn these days. 13 if you go for the horrible dark chocolate ones.
Yep - Item 2 on the clean build action list "Switch off all the unneccessary crap". Gadgets and sidebar disabled, never to return.
Item 1: install AV
Item 3: Run windows update & reboot. Repeat for items 4,5,6,7,8,9...
When does an orbiting asteroid become big enough to become a moon? Enquiring minds must know.
If you can afford to spunk 60m of your own "cash" into a black hole you obviously have far too much of it...
I think I'll nominate it as a permanent running track for the guy who downvoted my last nine historical posts in under 3 minutes.
A running track with no lights, spikes on the walls and hunger pitbulls for running partners.
...time to put those minds to work...
We've got 15 miles of a 54 mile loop built which we could no doubt pick up for peanuts. If we built the remaining 39 miles, could we actually use it for something profitable? Or fun?
Ok, I have the attention span of a fish, and I can only aspire to it's intelectual capacity. Because this article - to me - read as:
blah, blah, blah
"It's David Attenborough!! Talking about physics! Cool!"
blah, blah...
Because German is close to Britain than Italy...?
Well...at least looking at porn on the train will guarantee the seat next to you remains free...be sure and wear an old trenchcoat to complete the "I'm-a-dirt-perv" look.
That's assuming you get a seat in the first place, of course.
...Britain actually *leading* anything to do with rail services (other than charging the highest prices, and having the highest passenger to carriage ration outside of India) - almost had me there.
God, I'll be glad when tomorrow comes and all these April fool jokes are done.
For once I actually agree with Lars...this thing is indeed a paperweight. And the thing with the splash screen arrows pointing to nowhere? This smacks of poor testing, and poor design.Which doesn't bode well for the rest of it...and indeed it was proven to be so.
My opinion: Avoid. 300 quid is better spent elsewhere.
Personally, I stopped wearing a watch 20 years ago, when my last one broke, and I realised that time is so all-present in a modern lifestyle (on mobile phones, town squares, TV, buses, trains, shop windows etc) that a watch is *functionally* no longer required.
So now on special nights out when I wear the watch the rolex just hangs there like jewellry, pulling the hairs out my arms and generally being annoying...
..isn't that the whole idea of strap ons...? To be hands free ?
So..in short...you've got no friends then..?

My - admittedly "non-apple-approved" upgrades (not quite latest gen AMD GPU, upgraded XEONS) to my 1.1 should see me right for a good while yet*.
Those complaining about non-latest GPU's in factory fresh kit have a perfectly good point, but those of us with older kit outside of warranty are more than happy to flash the BIOS on a PC GPU, update QE_CI, and bingo - cheaper and faster GPU's than we'd ever get as standard.

There's been many a time after a hard bike ride, where you've bonked, and any food is fuel. Cold peas, the dog's dinner from last night, anything.

DEFINITION of 'North American Industry Classification System - NAICS'
A new business classification system developed through a partnership between the United States, Canada and Mexico. This system allows statistics to be compared for all business activity across North America. All companies are separated into industries defined by businesses that use similar production processes.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'North American Industry Classification System - NAICS'
The NAICS was created to replace the U.S. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to modernize it, so that it would be able to relate to the constantly changing economy. The new system also allows for better comparability between all North American countries, which is important because of the increased trade between NAFTA countries. To ensure that the NAICS will be able to keep pace with changing economic conditions it will be reviewed every five years.
