What phoboggers try and use to sidestep the reality of all the problems surrounding Nuclear Reactors; (like Safety, Fallout and the harmful effects of all kinds of radioactive particles) usually because of their connection to the Nuclear Industry!
The Pro Nuclear Cheerleaders used plenty of Nuclear Baloney to make their case against the benefits of Green Energy; but luckily the voters saw through it and decided to end the construction of the new reactor before it even started!

When does the patent expire?
Phoronix: Nouveau NV10-NV20 Can Now Handle S3TC

There's a lot of love for old hardware recently. That's refreshing.
Q, you have some good source there.
Didn't HTC buy this patent? They are probably more open source friendly than VIA/S3. Someone should have a talk with them and get a statement.
HTC is Via/S3 for all intents and purposes.

What is Plating?
What is Plating?
Plating is a surface coating in which a metal is deposited on a conductive or metal surface. Aka: "electrochemical deposition". Plating has been done for hundreds of years and is critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, beautify, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, for radiation shielding, and for other purposes.
The actual process consists of water holding tanks with various amounts of chemistry (chemicals), temperature controls mostly for heating, side baskets that hold metal (such as zinc, cadmium, nickel, brass, copper nuggets), air agitation, and work bars (referred as bus bars). This process tank for plating will also be connected to a rectifier (an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction).
In general, plating is divided in two different types of services:
- Decorative
- Functional (spec. plating)
Plating is considered part of science and chemistry. At Gorilla's Plating we are a decorative metal plating facility which services to the public and manufacturers.
Samples of plating:
- Jewelry manufacturing typically uses plating to give a silver or gold finish.
- Thin-film deposition has plated objects as small as an atom.
- Automotive wheels or rims have a shiny mirror affect due to metal polishing and chrome plating.
- Shopping carts, slot machines, faucets, lamps, and musical instruments are samples of decorative plating.
- Screws, nuts, bolts, refrigerator grills, hood hinges, connectors, printed circuit boards are samples of functional plating.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that causes inflammation, the formation of tubercules and other growths within tissue, and can cause tissue death. These chest x-rays show advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. There are multiple light areas (opacities) of varying size that run together (coalesce). Arrows indicate the location of cavities within these light areas. The x-ray on the left clearly shows that the opacities are located in the upper area of the lungs toward the back. The appearance is typical for chronic pulmonary tuberculosis but may also occur with chronic pulmonary histiocytosis and chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis is making a comeback with new resistant strains that are difficult to treat. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form of the disease, but other organs can be infected.

Phoronix: Fedora 19 Planned For Release In Late May
While Fedora 18 isn't even being released until January of 2013, plans have already been decided to try to aim for the Fedora 19 release in late May of 2013...
Late May means September.
BTRFS by Fedora 19?
Already looking forward to test out F19 alpha even if it's still several months away. I don't mind if it's just a optimized Fedora 18. Apart from updated Gnome 3.x version, newer Linux kernel, polished Anaconda installer I don't even expect any new features in Fedora 19.
so fedora18 will have a shelf life of 5 months?

Sold Out as of February 17, 2015
We are offering packages to the 2015 Schneider Electric Paris Marathon with some special features coordinated by our staff or you can book just the hotel if you prefer. We have found that most of our travelers enjoy the camaraderie of meeting other runners from across North America and some prefer the flexibility of a hotel only package. We offer a guaranteed Paris Marathon entry even after online registration is closed.
We have selected five hotels which offer competitive prices, comfortable accommodations and excellent locations. The Hotel Splendid Etoile is a four-star hotel close to the Arc de Triomphe. You are about 1/4 mile from the finish and 1/4 mile from the start. The Hotel Frontenac is the sister hotel to the Splendid and within 100 meters of the start and a short walk from the finish. The Hotel de Sevigne is a three-star hotel within walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and about 1/2 mile from the start and 3/4 mile from the finish. For those who are accustomed to the best accommodations and service, we are offering the luxury four star experience at the Hotel Powers. We also offer the Hotel Cecelia, a three-star hotel within walking distance to the Champs Elysees. We can book any hotel that you request and can offer low corporate rates at many Parisian hotels. Airfares are constantly changing and it is difficult to print the exact rates from your home city before they change again. Regardless, we can secure the lowest available airfares and will be happy to quote those to you by phone. Simply provide us with your dates and departure city.
Champagne tour: Celebrate your marathon on Monday, April 13 with a full-day tour of the Champagne region with lots of sampling of the world's best bubbly with lunch, professionally hosted with an English speaking sommelier.
Versailles: We are also offering a half-day excursion from Paris to Versailles on Saturday, April 11.
Perhaps you would like to relax after the race with an excursion by car or rail to the south to Avignon, Cannes or Nice. Or maybe a tour of the wine valleys in Bordeaux, Burgundy or Provence. Have any questions? Please give us a call for personal service.

Gallery: Today is the LAST DAY to Visit the Wacky Rainbow City Wonderla...
If you need us for the next month, you can find us at Rainbow City in The Lot near the High Line Section 2. We're moving in.
The happy city below the High Line features oversized brightly color sculptures that look like something out of Mario Brothers or Rainbow Brite. FriendsWithYou wants visitors to interact with the different pieces, putting the experience of the wonderland in your own hands — basically, they want us all to feel like kids again! The installation and all it has to offer closes today, after which the city has said it plans to host a variety of free and low-cost events that may include live music and film screenings.
To complement the installation, there will be a Rainbow City Pop-Up Shop called BOXER, created by HOLLWICH KUSHNER (HWKN). The shop is a simple red and white striped 8′x8′x6′ box that cracks open in the middle like a music box to provide access to the products inside. "In our design we turned off our sculptural design brain, and focused on a form that is iconic, yet simple, showing off — actually empowering — the products that are being sold," said Matthias Hollwich, Co-founder and Partner of HWKN. The pop-up shop is an example of HWKN's "optimistic architecture," the idea that everything architects do has the potential to enrich our society.
Plus, with free educational programs for children and a variety of local beers by The Brooklyn Brewery for the adults, the artistic landscape aims to please all ages. The space will also host plenty of food trucks (you know you can't get enough of those!), including ice cream sandwiches (including vegan options!) from Coolhaus, cold beverages from Kelvin's Natural Slush Co., tasty tacos from The Taco Truck, as well as some lobster rolls from Red Hook Lobster Pound and delicious falafels and smoothies from Taim Mobile.
Be sure to get out and enjoy the Rainbow City before it's too late! It closes at 10 p.m. tonight.

Krishna-My first art work
Dear friends,
I am back from vacation! I had a great time with my folks in India! Had lots of sweets, visited temples, spent time with my family and did some shopping :). Overall the trip was relaxing and satisfying.
I have always admired my Grandpa's artistic works. While I was in India, I used that opportunity to learn how to decorate deities from him. I bought a black and white poster of Lord Krishna and tried my hand at adorning him with beads, velvet, pearl, stones and silk. The more I worked on this, the more involved and interested I became. Ain't he cute? :-)
OK. It's been a while since I blogged. I am still in the vacation mood. I promise I will get back to blogging and come up with nice recipes next week.
Hope you all had a blast on Diwali!!
40 comments:
I have been to your other page few months ago, where you have displayed some of your Grandpa's exotic creations. Today, i landed on your page from food aggregator page. You have decorated your Krishna beautifully. ..very nice:)) Would love to know if there is a special technique to make it.

I've tested the 11.10 with my radeon hd 3450 / p8400 under Archlinux.
It seems smoother, really. I can read a HD movie and use the kwin cube effect without noticing a frame rate slow down, there's no tearing, and it seems reliable.
Sometime ago I had troubles installing 11.9 manually(it build installed but black screen happened, back to opencource), so i went to Synaptic to see if 11.10 is there yet. I guess its not, there is nothing new in changelog. But what caught my attention was fglrx-updates package. Does anyone know the difference between fglrx-updates vs fglrx in Ubuntu ?
Their Linux release date is basically decided by Microsoft since they won't release a Linux build until Microsoft decides to "WHQL" certify this month's buid. (Basically a meaningless sign off that the DRM still works and a chance to make it unaffordable for smaller organizations to make Windows drivers.)
Can somebody help me to install this driver on Fedora 16?
I'm not a Linux newbie, but I switched from Ubuntu to Fedora and have some trouble to install the driver. I always get a black screen or my screen goes to standby at GDM.
I allready tried the "nomodeset" kernel argument with no success. I installed the driver via the ati installer. Anything else you need to know to help me?
Fedora 16 uses X.org Server 1.11, which Catalyst doesn't support.
You can use Fedora 15, a distribution that still ships an old version of the X server like *buntu, or you can (*_BAD IDEA!!!!!_*) attempt to replace the X.org Server in Fedora 16 with one from Fedora 15. (I haven't done this, but there are a few reports that it "works", whatever that means.)
Fedora users are often stuck on old releases because Ubuntu and OpenSuse tend to use obsolete components to make it less work for proprietary driver vendors to support them. AMD Catalyst supported distributions tend to be a release or two behind on the X server or the kernel on launch.
Nvidia is better about making sure their drivers work, even if it's labeled "beta" you almost always have same day Fedora support.
As for "nomodeset", you have to use that one on Fedora 15 (the RPM Fusion packages add it for you) because the open source radeon module loads too and also attempts to control the hardware. So you get radeon in the kernel trying to set the video mode at the same time Catalyst/FGLRX is trying to set the video mode from user space through the X server, and so the entire system just locks up.
In Ubuntu, the packages add a blacklist entry for the radeon driver, so nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0 is not necessary because radeon isn't ever loaded. In Fedora it's stitting there doing nothing, and I think the reason you can't change it is because Ubuntu compiles it as a module while Fedora compiles it into the kernel image so the user can't blacklist it.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll try the driver on my Notebook with F15 and GNOME-Shell.
For some reason I haven't had any problems thus far with Linux 3.1 + this new driver. (Just renamed the 11.9 ebuild.)

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the neck and lower back.
While some people have no signs or symptoms, spinal stenosis can cause pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and problems with bladder or bowel function.
Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to aging. In severe cases of spinal stenosis, doctors may recommend surgery to create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves.

Torticollis is a twisted neck in which the head is tipped to one side, while the chin is turned to the other.
Wry neck; Loxia
Torticollis may be:
If the condition occurs without a known cause, it is called idiopathic torticollis.
Torticollis may develop in childhood or adulthood. Congenital torticollis (present at birth) may occur if the baby's head was in the wrong position while growing in the womb, or if the muscles or blood supply to the neck are injured.
Tests or procedures may be done to rule out possible causes of head and neck pain. A physical examination will show:
Tests that may be done include:
Treating torticollis that is present at birth involves stretching the shortened neck muscle. Passive stretching and positioning are used in infants and small children. These treatments are often successful, especially if they are started within 3 months of birth.
Surgery to correct the neck muscle may be done in the preschool years, if other treatment methods fail.
Torticollis that is caused by damage to the nervous system, spine, or muscles is treated by identifying the cause of the disorder.
The condition may be easier to treat in infants and children. If torticollis becomes chronic, numbness and tingling may develop due to pressure on the nerve roots in the neck.
The muscle itself may become large (hypertrophic) due to constant stimulation and exercise.
Complications may include:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms do not improve with treatment, or if new symptoms develop.
Torticollis that occurs after an injury or with illness may be serious. Seek immediate medical help if this occurs.
While there is no known way to prevent this condition, early treatment may prevent it from getting worse.

Sure i have my laughs here, some of you guys are hilarious at times and as a not so advanced sailor it gives me the opportunity to share my experiences with newbies and to learn from the Guru's (all Hail Roger Jackson). I must admitt, from time to time the SB FreeForum moderator should remove a few threads, cuz eg trollbasher is a pain in the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus. And like those there are a few more. Keep collecting your moments people, keep the FF alive, keep it light, keep it funny, keep it windsurfing across the net! |

Haha you guys picked up on my deliberate word spelling! haha Yea .. I still love getting out on the water, but without spending half-an-hour everyday on the old SB freeforum winding-up LeeD and SteveC, I guess with my busy life, I just find it easier to miss those not quite so perfect days as I am not thinking about LeeD windsurfing wind-ups all-day every-day. Anyway see you all in 6 months. Keep it up (for everyone except the SB tossas who discourage windsurfing). |

a dirty mind is a joy for life good i'm not the only messed up person of the sb forum but seriously how does a bad forum put you off windsurfing? I got loads of bad comments in the beginning because i sometimes just guessed but it never put me off, i learned and whenever i had the chance i went out on my gear and had as much a blast as i could returning to normal life with a satisfied feeling. The only problem, it gets harder and harder to suffice my needs i'm totally going step-in-stone theory with windsurfing. haaaa remeber the times when you were happy with 6 knots?? Now it's 14, lol. Don't let what people write put you off your own convictions. People say one board sux, you say it kicks ass, their problem, as long as you're having fun on the water and can have a good laugh on the side with other riders all is well, thats what sports and especially windsurfing is all about. have a glories surf all |

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
There's no business case for NFC, one expert says.
Ah, the future. Flying cars, robot maids and a cashless society. One of these—the cashless society—at least has a chance, if only because so many financial services companies are hard at work figuring out how to replace cash and payment cards with smartphones.
In the world envisioned by backers of such schemes, especially those using Near Field Communication technology, which lets two NFC-enabled devices communicate with each other wirelessly, consumers and retailers would have little need for cash. In some cases consumers tap their smartphone against contactless readers at the checkout to make a payment.
In such schemes, retailers can offer consumers special offers via the smartphone, potentially encouraging loyalty, which might mean more visits and more transactions for the retailer.
Google Inc.'s Google Wallet and the Isis wallet, from a consortium backed by AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA, each offer NFC-based smartphone payment apps. Financial services companies are involved in both schemes, providing the payment processing connectivity.
But even with these heavyweights chipping in, mobile payments have yet to gain widespread retailer or consumer adoption. Why is that? Among major reasons simply is the lack of demand from consumers and retailers, suggests Rick Oglesby, senior analyst at consulting firm Aite Group LLC. And without that demand, banks are reluctant to issue NFC payment credentials in addition to credit and debit cards, he says. Because about only 2% of merchant locations accept NFC, card issuers also must continue to issue a plastic card in addition to the digital one necessary for the NFC chip, Oglesby says "Therefore the cost of the NFC card is 100% incremental cost. At a time when there is very limited adoption on both the consumer and merchant sides, there's no real business case for it."
The situation is somewhat similar to a push in the mid-2000s by payment companies, like Visa, MasterCard and American Express, to get consumers to use, and retailers to accept, contactless cards that use a wireless technology from which NFC evolved. But persuading card issuers to issue credit and debit cards with embedded wireless chips took more than slick commercials, of which there were quite a few. The issuers had to bear the cost of the cards, which, if memory serves me correctly, was akin to 25 cents for a conventional magnetic stripe card and as much as $1 for one with a contactless chip inside it.
A similar price difference between magnetic stripe cards and mobile payments using NFC exists today, says Richard K. Crone, CEO of payments advisory firm Crone Consulting LLC. Generally, the cost to issue NFC payment credentials is about twice that for a conventional payment card, he says. That's because of the costs associated with multiple parties required to issue NFC payment data, such as the card number, he says."
A bank has to use an organization called a trusted service manager that actually loads the payment data, like the card number, expiration date and cardholder's name, onto a sequestered area called the secure element on the NFC chip. But the complexity, and cost, increases when the trusted service manager used by the bank is not the same as the one used by the mobile payment organization, Crone says.
Despite these impediments, mobile payment backers must be getting their message across to consumers. More than 60% of U.S. adults believe payments made with smartphones will replace credit card and cash transactions at some point, according to a recent poll by market research firm Harris Interactive. Tellingly, only 30% of them think that will happen within the next five years.
The easier, and cheaper, path for mobile payments may be to rely on existing technologies that retailers and consumers are familiar with, Crone says, like bar codes and bar code scanners. And as these existing technologies can be hosted on remote servers—in the cloud—retailers need do little other than add a bar code scanner and update the software on their checkout systems to accommodate this type of mobile payment, Crone says. Merchants need the latest in bar code reader technology, optical scanners, to read bar codes on smartphone screens. More big chains have been adopting these new scanners.
For example, Starbucks Coffee Co.'s mobile app uses a bar code that identifies the consumer. When scanned at the checkout the code triggers the checkout system to deduct the payment from the consumer's Starbucks account. "Bar code and bar code presentment have taken off," Crone says. "They have proven to be far easier to deploy in a cloud-based environment."
If cash is to be displaced at the checkout with mobile payments, much work needs to be done. Perhaps the days of using a smartphone all of the time at the checkout will coincide with the advent of the flying car.

Henry George Interrogated by Senate Committee
January 9, 2007 | Posted by Staff under Progress Report, The Progress Report |
Senate Committee Quizzes America's Top Economist
The Interrogation of Henry George
We are pleased to present a record of little-known testimony given to the United States Senate by the economist and social reformer Henry George. George testified as part of the investigation conducted in 1883 by the Senate Committee Upon the Relations Between Labor and Capital. For this portion of the testimony, George is questioned by Senator Willkinson Call of Florida (1834-1910).
Senator Call. You have been engaged for some years, I believe, in looking into the labor question, the condition of the laboring population, and the relations of labor and capital, have you not?
Henry George. For some time, with a great deal of attention.
Senator Call. We should be glad to have a statement from you in your own way of any facts that may be within your knowledge in regard to the condition of labor in its relations to capital, and any suggestions of remedies which you think would bring about an improved condition of things.
Henry George. As for specific facts I presume you could get them with much more advantage from other persons, from those who are familiar with each locality and the particular facts relating to it. The general fact, however, is that there exists among the laboring classes of the United States a great and growing feeling of dissatisfaction and discontent. As to whether the condition of the laboring classes in the United States is getting any worse, that is a difficult and complex question. I am inclined to think that it is; but whether it is or not, the feeling of dissatisfaction is evidently increasing. It is certainly becoming more and more difficult for a man in any particular occupation to become his own employer. The tendency of business of all kinds, both in production and in exchange, is concentration, to the massing of large capital, and to the massing of men. The inventions and improvements of all kinds that have done so much to change all the aspects of production, and which are still going on, tend to require a greater and greater division of labor, the employment of more and more capital, and in make it more and more difficult for a man who has nothing but his labor to become his own employer, or to rise to a position of independence in his craft or occupation.
Senator Call. Can you state any economic reasons why that is the case?
Henry George. I do not believe that there is any conflict of interest between labor and capital, using those terms in their large sense. I believe the conflict is really between labor and monopoly. Capital is the instrument and tool of labor, and under conditions of freedom there would be as much competition for the employment of capital as for the employment of labor. `When men speak of the aggressions of capital and of the conflict between labor and capital I think they generally have in mind aggregated capital, and aggregated capital which is in some way or other a monopoly more or less close. The earnings of capital, purely as capital, are always measured by the rate of interest. The return to capital for its employment, risk being as nearly as possible eliminated, is interest, and interest has certainly, for some time past, been falling, until now it is lower than it ever has been in this country before. The large businesses which yield great returns have in them always, I think, some element of monopoly. Do you wish me to go right on and give my views generally, or do you desire me to limit myself to answers to your questions?
Senator Call. I wish you would first give us the economic reasons why there are such aggregations of capital. I would like also to have you explain the sense in which you use the term "monopoly" when you speak of these aggregations of capital.
Henry George. I use the term "monopoly" in the sense of a peculiar privilege or power of doing certain things which other persons have not. There are various kinds of monopolies. As, for instance, the monopolies given by the patent laws which give to the inventor or to his assigns the exclusive right to use a particular invention or process. There are certain businesses that are in their nature monopolies. For instance, in a little village if one puts up a hotel which is sufficient to accommodate all the travel there, he will have a virtual monopoly of that business, for the reason that no one else will put up another to compete with him, knowing that it would result in the loss of money; and for that reason our common law recognizes a peculiar obligation on the part of the innkeeper; he is not allowed to discriminate as between those who come to him for lodging or food. Again, a railroad is in its nature a monopoly. Where one line of road can do the business, no one else is going to build another alongside of it, and, as we see in our railroad system, the competition of railroad companies is only between what they call "competing points" where two or three roads come together, and as to these the tendency is to do away with competition by contract or pooling. The telegraph business is in its nature a monopoly; and so with various others. Then again, there is a certain power of monopoly that comes with the aggregation of large capital in a business. A man who controls a very large amount of capital can succeed by underselling and by other methods, in driving out his smaller competitors and very often in concentrating the business in his own hands.
Senator Call. You see the term in a broader sense then, than that of a monopoly created by law. You include in it any exclusive right, whether created by facts and circumstances or by law?
Henry George. Yes. As I have said, there are businesses which are in their very nature monopolies. The two most striking examples of that are the railroad and the telegraph.
More testimony next week, focusing on the trend toward economic insecurity for most people in spite of our civilization's great material progress.
What is your reaction to Mr. George's testimony? What would you add? Tell The Progress Report!
One Response to Henry George Interrogated by Senate Committee
The Five Part Senate Interrogation of clear minded Henry George in 1883 is very revealing – I wonder if the U.S. Senate today is any wiser? Or are current members even more captive to Special Interest Delusions? Links to all 5 Parts can be found in Archives at: htap://www.progress.org/senate.htm

just get my two!
after open the box check the sub .......... rivets all over the sub, didn't look like the photo I took of the sub 10 years ago.
The model is infested with errors. The rivets do not exist on the real boat. Not worth the effort to correct them all, in my opinion . I am extremely disappointed in the model.

Reading Group Guide
This reading group guide for Say Amen, Again includes an introduction, discussion questions, ideas for enhancing your book club, and a Q&A with author ReShonda Tate Billingsley. The suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. We hope that these ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book.
Rachel Adams is trying to find a way to forgive her husband, Pastor Lester Adams, for having an affair. Her task is made all the more difficult by the reappearance of his former mistress, Mary Richardson, in their family's church. Now pregnant, Mary claims that Lester is the child's father and is intent on seducing him away from Rachel. Meanwhile, a tragedy rocks the foundation of the Adams family and everyone involved is confronted with an ultimate decision of forgiveness.
Questions and Topics for Discussion
1. What does Rachel's dream in the novel's opening chapter reveal about her fears? How is she able to overcome these fears by the end of the book?
2. Despite Lester's continual refusal of her affections, Mary protests that the love she feels for him is real. Do you think this is true?
3. Rachel fears that her anger is interfering with her growth as a Christian. Do you agree with her decision to leave the church until Mary is removed? Likewise, do you think Mary should be removed from the church—or do you agree with Deacon Jacobs's assessment that "if they kicked one transgressor out, they had to kick them all out" (p. 14)?
4. Mary's visit from her mother, Margaret, is unwelcome and reinforces why Mary removed Margaret from her life in the first place. How does Mary feel when she sees her mother? How do you think Mary's relationship with her mother has influenced her as a person?
5. Mary's dealing ex-boyfriend, Craig, is another unwelcome visitor who brings "nothing but trouble" when he comes around. Is there anything Mary could have done to rid Craig from her life and leave her past behind? Or do you think her past was always destined to follow her?
6. Fed up with Aunt Minnie's constant judgment of his family, Simon reveals a few of her deepest secrets to prove that she's not as perfect as she pretends to be. As Simon says, do you think she "had that coming"?
7. Although Bobby never makes an appearance in this novel, Rachel can't help but think about him from time to time. She wonders if chasing after him in the past influenced Lester's affair with Mary. Do you feel that Rachel is right to take on part of the blame for Lester's affair?
8. After Rachel's interaction with Pastor Terrance Ellis at Lily Grove Church, she felt humiliated for having misunderstood the pastor's intentions. Did you also think Pastor Ellis was coming on to Rachel? How did you react to her reasoning that having an affair of her own would help her recover from Lester's affair? Have you ever felt a similar urge to seek some kind of revenge?
9. Did Roderick's suicide take you by surprise? Teenage bullying due to sexual orientation is a prominent topic in the media today. How does Roderick's story echo other tragedies you've read or heard about?
10. Rachel's father offers words of advice after Lester is arrested: "Baby girl, God is in the blessing business. He's not in the punishing business. . . . Just know that God doesn't give us more than we can bear" (p. 197). Do you agree? Has there ever been a time in your life that you felt you were being tested beyond what you could bear?
11. What did you think of Rachel's decision to keep Mary's son, despite him being a constant reminder of Lester's indiscretion? Would you have made the same decision? Similarly, how would Rachel's decision have been different if it had turned out that Lester was, in fact, the boy's father?
12. How did your opinion of Mary change as you read the book? By the end of the novel, did you find yourself sympathizing with her situation? Or did you think she got what she deserved?
13. How does the role of forgiveness impact both the characters and the events in the novel? Is Rachel truly able to forgive Lester for his indiscretion by the end of the book? Do you think Jonathan will ever be able to forgive himself for what happened to Roderick?
Enhance Your Book Club
1. Let the Church Say Amen, the first in ReShonda Tate Billingsley's Say Amen series, is currently being produced as a feature film. If you were in charge of casting, who would you cast as Rachel? Lester? Mary?
2. Roderick's suicide, like many other teenage suicides committed by those who do not feel accepted by their families and/or communities, came as a saddening shock to those who loved him. If you'd like to help troubled teens in your area, consider taking part in one of the following campaigns:
• The It Gets Better Project, a worldwide movement of hope for LGBT youth: www.itgetsbetter.org
• To Write Love on Her Arms, a movement dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide: www.twloha.com
• The Trevor Project, a campaign for a future where all youth have the same opportunities, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity: www.thetrevorproject.org
3. Say Amen, Again is the third book in ReShonda Tate Billingsley's series about Rachel and her family. If your book group hasn't yet read the first two books in the series, consider Let the Church Say Amen or Everybody Say Amen for your next discussion.
4. You can learn more about ReShonda Tate Billingsley and her books on her official website (www.reshondatatebillingsley.com). You can also follow her on Twitter (twitter.com/ReShondaT).
A Conversation with ReShonda Tate Billingsley
Say Amen, Again is the third book in the Say Amen series. Which character do you think has grown the most since Let the Church Say Amen, the first in the series?
It would definitely have to be Rachel. I mean, did you ever imagine the Rachel we first met would be capable of adopting the child of her husband's mistress?
Do you have any plans to write another book about Rachel and her family? What's next for the Jacksons and the Adamses?
Rachel is one of those characters that won't let me tuck her away. I never planned to write the first sequel, and she demanded that her story continue. Next up, she'll meet up with Jasmine Larson Bush, the main character from author Victoria Christopher Murray's Jasmine series. The two women are so much alike and so different and they'll clash as both try to get their husbands elected to a prestigious position in a national organization. That book is called Saints and Sinners and comes out in 2012.
Before you began writing Say Amen, Again, did you know how it would end? Was Rachel always going to accept Mary's baby into her life?
Oh, I never know how my books are going to end. That's why it's so hard for me to write an outline. My characters take over and they tell me the direction in which they want to go. So, I had no idea if the baby was going to even be Lester's, let alone Rachel's plan for the child.
Roderick's suicide is undoubtedly one of the novel's saddest moments. Why did you feel this was important to include?
I just wanted to show the tragic side of what can happen when our young people feel like they can't talk to anyone. I don't even know whether Roderick was gay, but the simple fact that he was conflicted was cause for concern. Yet, for various reasons, he had nowhere to turn.
When it comes to writing, what would you say is your greatest challenge?
Whew, I guess it would be I can't write fast enough, and I write pretty fast! There are so many unchartered territories I'd like to venture into, but my plate is pretty full. Some people would think that time might be a challenge, but I believe that you find time for your passion and writing is my passion, so time has never been an issue for me.
In its starred review of Let the Church Say Amen, Library Journal raves about your ability to infuse your text with "just the right dose of humor to balance the novel's serious events." Do you find it difficult to strike this balance in your writing?
I don't. At all. People are always telling me how funny I am and I just don't see it. I guess it's because I'm not trying to be. It's just a part of me; so naturally it's reflected in my writing.
When you write, do you craft your novels with a mostly Christian audience in mind? Or do you aim to reach a wider readership?
Well, I'm a Christian who writes fiction, but that's about the scope of my target. I mean, of course I want Christians to enjoy my book, but I also want nonbelievers, people of other religions, anyone and everyone to be able to pick up my book and enjoy it. And more than anything, get a message out of the book. In fact, my greatest joy in writing comes from those who found themselves growing closer to God, stronger in their faith, because of something I wrote. But at the end of the day, my message is for the masses. I believe that's what God has called me to do.
What most inspires you to write?
A pure, simple passion for telling stories.
If one of your readers wanted to write a novel of his or her own, what would be the first piece of advice you would offer?
Don't just talk about writing, write. And every minute you spend talking about what you don't have time to do could be spent doing it. So many people don't get their book finished because they let that get in the way. Something will always get in the way. The road to success is paved with tempting parking spaces. Don't take a detour in trying to reach your dream. And finally, set small, attainable goals. I started with three pages a day, five days a week. No matter what, I committed to that. Well, before I knew it, three turned to thirty and I was able to finish my book.
What would you say is the most important thing for your readers to take away from Say Amen, Again?
The power of forgiveness and moving past your anger. I also hope that the book helps people reflect on how judging someone is something that should be left up to God.
