Wattstax is a 1973 documentary film by Mel Stuart that focused on the 1972 Wattstax music festival and the African American community of Watts in Los Angeles, California.[2] The film was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Documentary Film in 1974.
The concert[edit]
The concert was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 20, 1972, and organized by Memphis's Stax Records to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots. Wattstax was seen by some as "the Afro-American answer to Woodstock". To enable as many members of the black community in L.A. to attend as possible, tickets were sold for only $1.00 each. The Reverend Jesse Jackson gave the invocation, which included Reverend William H. Borders, Sr.'s "I Am - Somebody" poem, which was recited in a call and response with the assembled stadium crowd. In the film, interspersed between songs are interviews with Richard Pryor, Ted Lange[3][4] and others who discuss the black experience in America.[2]
The film begins with an introduction by Pryor, followed by shots of urban life on the streets of Watts, accompanied by the song "What You See Is What You Get" by The Dramatics. Mel Stuart was not entirely satisfied with the full concert footage and added the Pryor interludes between certain songs and live shots of urban life in the city. Stuart wanted someone to narrate between the scenes to create a transition in a comedic but meaningful way. Scenes of the concert venue being set up are accompanied by the song "Oh La De Da" by the Staple Singers, and another Staples tune, "We the People", backs scenes of the crowds entering the stadium.
The first song played in concert is the "Star-Spangled Banner" performed by Kim Weston while the audience sits. Jesse Jackson then encourages the audience to raise their right fists in the air while he recites his poem "I Am Somebody". Kim Weston follows with a performance of the "Black National Anthem", "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing". While she sings the audience becomes more invigorated, and people stand and continue to raise their fists in the air. The scene is inter-cut with images from African-American history. Jimmy Jones sings "Somebody Bigger Than You and I".
A brief discussion about religion is followed by a performance of "Lying on the Truth" by the Gospel band The Rance Allen Group, inter-cut with shots of churches around Watts. The song "Peace Be Still" is heard, and eventually seen, performed by The Emotions in a local church. Next, the film briefly discusses Gospel music, and "Old-Time Religion" is performed by "The Stax Golden 13", composed of William Bell, Louise McCord, Debra Manning, Eric Mercury, Freddy Robinson, Lee Sain, Ernie Hines, Little Sonny, Eddie Floyd, the Newcomers, the Temprees, and Frederick Knight. After a brief interlude with Pryor, Melvin Van Peebles introduces the Staple Singers, who play "Respect Yourself" in concert.
The Bar-Kays follow another montage commentary on African-American identity. The Bar-Kays saxophonist, Harvey "Joe" Henderson speaks saying, "Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude" (a phrase later made famous when it was sampled by Public Enemy in "Show 'Em Whatcha Got"). The Bar-Kays then play "Son of Shaft." A montage of conversations about unemployment and crime in Watts plays.
Albert King plays "I'll Play The Blues for You" which is quickly cut to another conversation with the people of Watts about blues music and depression. An unusual piece of footage is shown of performance of "Walking the Backstreet and Crying" by Little Milton, presented in the style of a music video, with Milton lip-synching the song near a train station with a burning trash can next to it.
Rufus Thomas talks about a character named "Jody" - someone who "is that fella, when you leave home at six o'clock, he's in that house at six-one." Followed by shots of various rich African Americans exiting their expensive cars and wearing flamboyant clothing, while the song "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone" by Johnnie Taylor is being performed in a night club. Pryor performs a sketch discussing gambling.
A montage of couples in Watts is shown while a discussion about dating and romance is heard, with "I May Not Be What You Want" performed by Mel and Tim in the background. The scene then changes to a performance of "Picking Up the Pieces" by Carla Thomas. During this song, several red, black and white balloons are released in the stadium. More conversations about gender roles and romance in the African-American society follow.
In the next segment, Rufus Thomas performs "The Breakdown" and "Do the Funky Chicken." There is another interlude with Pryor, and then the hit ballad "If Loving You is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right" by soul singer Luther Ingram. After the final interlude, Isaac Hayes enters the stadium to a large audience reaction (the concert took place on his 30th birthday). Hayes' performance of "Rolling Down a Mountain" in the original version of the film was recorded on a sound stage at a later date because MGM refused to allow the film-makers to use Hayes' concert performances of "Theme from Shaft" and "Soulsville".[5]
These songs are restored on Region 1 DVD release of the film. The camera pans out at the end of the stadium showing several people during the interludes in the film while the speech "I Am Somebody" is being shouted again followed by "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" as the credits roll.
Later developments[edit]
In January 2004, a restored version of the film played at the Sundance Film Festival, followed by a theatrical reissue in June by Sony Pictures Repertory. In September 2004, the PBS series P.O.V. aired a new documentary about the concert and the movie. That same month, the movie was released on DVD by Warner Bros., which obtained the video rights when it purchased the Wolper library (Warner's former sister company, Warner Music Group, coincidentally owns the rights to most pre-1968 Stax recordings).[citation needed]

Venus of Willendorf
World's Oldest Goddess Symbol
The Venus of Willendorf, or Goddess of Willendorf, is considered to be the world's oldest goddess statue, with an approximate age of 35,000 years. This beautiful pendant features a replica of the Venus of Willendorf figurine, as well as genuine hematite.
From our Stone Deity line of pendants, the jewelry pendant figure "melts" onto the stone, forming icicle-like prongs to hold the stone in place.
The Venus of Willendorf is believed to be an ancient fertility symbol and a symbol of the power of the eternal feminine. As a side note–the figure in the background to the right of the pendant is Tara, The Star, an important figure in the Tibetan pantheon, and the protectress goddess of Tibet.

Near the end of the third period, Andrei Markov collided awkwardly with Eric Staal. As the...

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2003 Thousands of military "brats" took part in a 125-year-old American tradition today the White House Easter Egg Roll.
President Bush closed the event to the public this year and designated it a special day for military families. White House officials estimated 12,000 people all active-duty and reserve-component service members and their families -- would attend.
Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, delivered a well-received message to the children at the event: "We think your moms and dads are terrific," Cheney said in opening the festivities.
"We are proud of all of you the men and women who serve our country, who keep our country safe," she said.
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class James Taylor, who works at the Washington Navy Yard, was there with his three children and wife, Cindy. "I just feel honored to be here," he said. Cindy said the couple's children were enjoying all the costumed storybook and television characters roaming the grounds.
Clifford, the Berenstain Bears, Winnie-the-Pooh, Madeline, and Strawberry Shortcake were just a few of the more than three dozen characters posing for pictures and being quick to offer a handshake or a hug.
Navy Chief Petty Officer Wayne Harders and his 12-year-old daughter Samantha drove up from Norfolk, Va., for the day. Samantha said the best part of the day was "just being on the lawn of the White House."
Her dad agreed. "You never think you're going to be here," he said. "It's awesome."
"It's a wonderful opportunity," Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Joseph Hartel, a sailor assigned to Patuxent River Naval Air Station, said as he posed for a photo with his 14-month-old daughter Victoria Ann. "It feels good to be recognized."

There remains no good reason why American television consumers must endure the monarchical monotony of the president's annual State of the Union address. It is usually unnecessary and intolerably dull, though sometimes, when we're lucky, it's simply unnecessary. (Say this for Richard Nixon: according to the American Presidency Project, one of his SOTU addresses clocked in at under thirty minutes, while another was not delivered at all, but written–the way it was and should again be. Meanwhile Bill Clinton's final SOTU may still be droning on.)
As long as we're subjected to the speech, however, the opposition party's official response is logical: the response itself is of limited value, but it serves as a reminder that the president is not the king, merely an elected official. The response is also a PR minefield; no one ever gives a memorable response unless it's memorable for the wrong reasons–a flat speech, or, as was the case last year, a desire for a drink of water that gave the media the distraction it was looking for so reporters didn't have to pretend they were listening to the text.
But now there is a third speech of the night. And, surprisingly, it has defied the odds to become the only (possibly) interesting address of the evening. One of the major Tea Party groups has backed in recent years a Tea Party response. The reason it's interesting is that, depending on the speaker, it is just as much a response to the (Republican) response to the State of the Union. The speech benefits from the lower expectations of this bronze-medal address and the tension between the Tea Party and what they consider the "establishment" party leadership. But there's an extra boost to the interest in this year's Tea Party response: it's being delivered by Mike Lee.
The Utah senator combines the grassroots bona fides of other Tea Partiers with an energetic reform agenda–the latter being arguably more significant as the right seeks to find its way out of the wilderness. Ross Douthat, long a proponent of reform conservatism, notes that high-profile support for reform, such as that of Paul Ryan, has mostly gone nowhere, and adds:
Which is why the most consequential recent development for the G.O.P. might not actually be Chris Christie's traffic scandal. It might, instead, be the fact that reform conservatism suddenly has national politicians in its corner.
The first is Mike Lee, the junior Senator from Utah, who has pivoted from leading the defund-Obamacare movement to basically becoming a one-stop shop for provocative reform ideas: in the last six months, his office has proposed a new family-friendly tax reform, reached across the aisle to work on criminal justice issues and offered significant new proposals on transportation and higher education reform.
The second is Marco Rubio, whose speech two weeks ago on the anniversary of the declaration of the war on poverty called for two major changes to the safety net: first, pooling federal antipoverty programs into a single fund that would allow more flexibility for state experiments; and second, replacing the earned-income tax credit with a direct wage subsidy designed to offer more help to low-income, single men.
The juxtaposition is noteworthy, because Rubio gave last year's "official" GOP SOTU response despite rising to stardom as a Tea Party favorite, while Lee will give this year's Tea Party response despite falling out of favor with some libertarians by advocating a community-minded conservatism with a focus on civil society.
Lee, then, has a foot in each camp. His hope is probably that he can blend the borders and blur the distinctions. What he's more likely to find is that American conservatism was and remains a coalitional enterprise, and that he may not be granted the dual citizenship–Tea Partier and Establishmentarian–he seeks but rather be forced to choose.
That choice can be ignored at the moment because he is not considered an immediate prospective presidential candidate, which frees him up to shun either label and instead embrace reform. He also may combine elements of each in his response to the response to the SOTU. That means, strangely enough, that a vehicle established specifically for the purpose of elevating dissent within the ranks could be utilized to promote unity and consensus. That's classic opposition-party behavior, of course, but Lee is clearly expecting–and planning for–a return to conservative governance.

Kumail Nanjiani (HBO's "Silicon Valley") stars in the latest episode of Street Fighter Red Tape from "The Pete Holmes Show." In it, he plays Dhalsim, the least marketable of all the Street Fighter characters. Holmes brings up some good points in the skit about the Dhalsim character, like those strange skulls he wears around his neck. Men of peace don't usually wear child-sized skulls...
Anyway, you can check out the video to your left and find more in the series here.
The Pete Holmes Show airs midnight/11c, after CONAN on TBS Monday - Friday.

by Michael Ettinger, Attorney at Law
The Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) is a technique commonly used by elder law attorneys. It consists of an irrevocable trust, usually set up by a parent of parents sixty-five and older. One or more of the adult children are named as "trustees" to manage the trust for the benefit of the "beneficiaries" who remain the parents during their lifetimes. For example, the parents retain the right to the exclusive use and enjoyment of the home and the income from all of the trust assets. The establishment and "funding" of the trust, i.e. retitling the home and the investments in the name of the trust, starts the five year look-back period running. After five years, those assets become exempt and are protected from the costs of long-term care.
Once the MAPT is established, there are certain things the parties can and cannot do. Below are a list of the "Do's and Don'ts" concerning the MAPT.
Do make all transfers to your trust, as advised by the law firm, in a timely manner.
Do use trust assets for repairs or improvements to the home or other property in the trust.
Do use trust assets for payment of real estate taxes and homeowners insurance.
Do take dividends and income on trust assets on at least a quarterly basis.
Do call the law firm when you wish to make a gift from the trust to any of your beneficiaries.
Do call the law firm when a Grantor needs Medicaid benefits or dies.
Do call the law firm when personal or financial circumstances change significantly.
Do call the law firm if you wish to change trustees or break the trust.
Do provide your homeowner's insurance company with the "letter of instruction" and a copy of the trust for real property transferred to the trust.
Do provide your CPA or tax preparer with the "letter of instruction" regarding the trust tax return
and the "letter of instruction" tax deductibility of legal fees.
Do choose your trustee carefully to avoid the expense (and unpleasantness) of changing
the trustee.
Do call the law firm if you want to take out a reverse mortgage on the property in the trust.
Don't use trust assets to pay telephone or utility bills.
Don't use trust assets to pay personal expenses.
Don't use trust assets to purchase an automobile.
Don't take principal or capital gains from trust assets.
Don't transfer IRA's or 401(k)'s to the trust.
Don't allow beneficiaries to return to the trust or the Grantor any gifts made from trust assets.
Don't make additional transfers to the trust without advising the law firm.

Australopithecus Sediba
Since the mid-1990s, Lee Berger of the University of Witwatersrand had been plumbing fossil-rich cave deposits in South Africa for hominin bones. One day in 2008, his 9-year-old son Matthew stumbled across the ancient remains of a juvenile male with a distinctive combination of primitive and human-like features. Berger's team later found the skeleton of an adult female and other individuals with similar traits nearby; they may have died after falling into a deep cave. New research suggests the fossils, which are thought to belong to a newly discovered species dubbed Australopithecus sediba, are roughly 1.98 million years old. (Credit: National Geographic/University of Witwatersrand)la
Small But Human-Like Brain
Researchers used high-resolution scanning technology to make a virtual cast of what the juvenile male's brain may have looked like before decomposing. They discovered that Australopithecus sediba's brain was smaller than that of Australopithecus afarensis, which lived a million years earlier, and was closer in size to a chimpanzee's than a human's. (Credit: Brett Eloff/Courtesy of Lee Berger and the University of Witwatersrand)la
Advanced Frontal Lobe
Though small, Australopithecus sediba's brain was more human-like in shape than that of earlier hominins, particularly in the frontal lobe region, which plays an important role in abstract reasoning and cognition, the researchers found. This challenges the prevailing view that brain size increased gradually during the transition from Australopithecus to Homo; instead, neural reorganization that paved the way for human-like thinking may have happened before brains enlarged. (Credit: ESRF/KJ Carlson/Lee Berger and the University of Witwatersrand)la
Hands That Might Have Made Tools
The female Australopithecus sediba skeleton included one of the most complete early hominin hand specimens ever found. Researchers detected a mixture of ape-like grasping muscles, which indicate Australopithecus sediba spent a lot of time climbing trees, and human-like features used for precise gripping and dexterity. Australopithecus sediba may have been capable of fashioning and using simple tools—and was possibly better at it than the later Homo habilis, the scientists found. (Credit: Peter Schmid/Lee Berger and the University of Witwatersrand)la
Human-Like Pelvis
The short, broad pelvis of the female Australopithecus sediba skeleton is more human-like than that of earlier hominins, researchers discovered. Since Autralopithecus sediba has a small cranium, this casts doubt on the theory that the modern human pelvis evolved to facilitate the birth of babies with large brains. (Credit: Peter Schmid/Lee Berger and the University of Witwatersrand)la
Feet Built for Climbing and Unique Upright Walking
The morphology of Australopithecus sediba's feet imply that the species walked upright when it wasn't scaling trees, researchers said. But despite its human-like ankle joint (above), Australopithecus sediba had a strikingly primitive heel and shin. This could mean that it practiced a unique form of bipedalism that would have distinguished its gait from that of other hominins. (Credit: KJ Carlson/Lee Berger and the University of Witwatersrand)la
Categories: Early Humans, Evolution
Researchers think they've identified the earliest known human ancestor, according to a collection of papers published in the September 9 issue of Science. Australopithecus sediba, which exhibits a mix of primitive and human traits, could rewrite the story of our evolution, replacing other species as the most likely predecessor of the Homo genus. Not bad for skeletal remains accidentally unearthed by a 9-year-old boy when he wandered away from his paleoanthropologist father during a 2008 dig in South Africa. Check out the images below to find out why Australopithecus sediba may represent the first step toward humankind.

Passionate Teachers + Cutting-edge Curriculum + Flexible Schedule. This is Fullstack.
The JavaScript-driven curriculum in Fullstack Flex immerses you in the latest web technologies such as Node.js, AngularJS and MongoDB while allowing you to keep working.
You bring the energy, curiosity and fierce dedication — we'll provide a world-class school for becoming an expert software developer.
Fullstack's Flex Immersive allows you to study fullstack web development, while keeping your existing job and salary.
Fullstack's Flex Immersive is a program uniquely designed for working professionals. Flex covers the same curriculum as our popular full-time immersive program, but it is structured in a part-time weekend/nights format over 24 weeks.
You will attend class at the Fullstack campus on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and all day on Saturday. Whether you are at home or in class, Fullstack Instructors will be available to help you!
Our goal is to make you a strong professional developer—good enough that we'd want to hire you at our own startups.
The Fullstack curriculum is divided into three major courses: Foundations, the Academy and Flight.
The first part of your educational journey at Fullstack, Foundations, is an intensive introductory course designed to help you master the core concepts of programming. Foundations is not just a list of links to online tutorials. You'll be working on a targeted core curriculum with live instructors and real coding projects. You'll be prepared to hit the ground running when you come to campus.
Fullstack Flex Immersive covers the same curriculum as our full-time course, but it is structured in a part-time format over 24 weeks. You'll build many fullstack applications: using MongoDB for data storage, Express and Node.js on the backend, and AngularJS on the front-end to create dynamic and real-time application interfaces.
In the 2nd half of your course, our placement team will begin matching your interests with employers — a process that will continue after graduation. With our dedicated training program on technical interviewing and becoming a star developer, we'll make sure you're ready for whatever your next step after Fullstack is.
Learn more about the course schedule.
Being a Fullstack Developer isn't about knowing everything, but about being fearless in the face of new technologies and challenges.
We build a solid core of programming fundamentals to catalyze a long and productive career in software development. Master the technologies that are currently in-demand and gain the foundation to learn the innovative technologies of the future.
Our namesake is our promise. You'll learn end-to-end web development using Node.js/Express, JavaScript, Angular.js, HTML5, and CSS3. You'll develop and hone your code-sense for seeing problems and imagining innovative ways to solve them in code.
Professional development is a lot more than just writing code. You'll learn best-practices and how to use all the right tools, from source control to web inspector to analytics.
Fullstack will immerse you in one of the most vibrant tech communities in the world. You'll contribute to open source, attend tech meetups, win hackathons and build a strong network in Silicon Alley.
Our next class of Fullstack Flex will begin October 2015.
Yes, the Flex Immersive is designed to allow you to keep working during the course. That said, the course will be just as intensive as the full-time program (if not more) and so be prepared to dedicate most of your evenings and weekends to coding.
You will have the opportunity to participate in a Hiring Day after Fullstack if you wish to explore development positions, however, there is no requirement to do so. You are welcome to apply your code-ninja skills to make your existing job more awesome!
The Fullstack Flex Immersive course is 24 weeks long.
Tuition is $15,680 for the semester. Fullstack also offers the Ada Lovelace Scholarship for Women which is a $1,000 scholarship to encourage women to attend.
We are happy to answer any further questions you have, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Fullstack Academy team is committed to bringing you the highest quality coding education program in the country.
The Fullstack Academy team is committed to bringing you the highest quality coding education program in the country. You will graduate a fearless, full-stack software developer.
We teach computer science using fullstack JavaScript. JavaScript is here in a big way and it is growing bigger every day. Today's internet demands real-time, interactive and dynamic apps that are built in JavaScript and you will have built many such apps at Fullstack. Read more about why JavaScript.
Our instructors are seasoned fullstack hackers who are here because they love to teach and are damn good at it. They have been lead-engineers at top companies and have built products with millions of users.
Fullstack Foundations, our part-time, remote pre-course, is a full-featured programming course with an Instructor. It includes coding projects and tutoring sessions with instructors. Foundations will solidify your core programming concepts before the Academy starts to ensure you are truly ready to fly on day 1.
Every decision we make prioritizes high quality over quantity. We've built a hyper-relevant curriculum with passionate instructors and a strong, nurturing community—Fullstack Academy is an environment where the best students will feel right at home.
Fullstack Academy's CTO Program, an included part of the course, goes beyond software and prepares you to become a leader in the industry. You will learn about lean startup principles, agile project management, the UX design process, open source development and much more. Learn More.
New York City is an amazing place to spend three months learning. It is the epitome of a global city, reflecting the world in its expansive diversity of cultures and ideas. NYC is also host to a booming tech scene full of exciting startups and helpful people!
We're looking for students who are at the top of their game. Here are characteristics that we are looking for in the application process.
You've demonstrated your passion by beginning to learn on your own. You have the determination to become a developer whether you get into Fullstack or not.
Whatever you've been working on so far, you've been among the best. You're helpful and facilitate the success of others around you.
We like to live by a no-asshole policy. We look for students who are considerate, understanding, helpful and generally pleasant to be around.
Your time at Fullstack will be an intense journey. There will be both blood and glory. Are you ready to commit yourself to making it through?
Nimit and David are incredibly patient and knowledgeable, and their passion for this space is visible and very motivating!
Anita Gupta
I learned a ton and had a great time with Nimit and David, and I'm pretty sure I added more to my marketability to future employers [by taking the course] than in my two years at HBS!
Neda Navab
Nimit and David are extremely competent and interested in teaching. They also have the valuable background of entrepreneurs that make their knowledge and teaching much more relevant.
Brett Lewis
Founder, Skillbridge.co
Having tried other courses unsuccessfully, coding was intimidating to me. The course allowed me the time to fail at, and then grasp each concept.
Jeremy Cohen
CEO, ExchangeMyPhone.com
Nimit loves both writing code and teaching and so Fullstack is a true venture of love. Prior to Fullstack, he co-founded MBA Code School where he taught coding workshops at top MBA schools, co-founded Bloomspot, a local offers startup with millions of users that was acquired by JPMorgan/Chase and worked as an engineering lead at Yahoo!. Nimit discovered his love for teaching while volunteer-teaching middle school students as part of the West Philly Tutoring Project.
David's been building and managing NYC engineering tech teams for many years at companies like RecycleBank, Gilt Groupe and BrightWire Media. David has previously worked as an engineer at Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo! and Deloitte Consulting but fell in love with the energy and spirit of teaching coding through MBA Code School.

An extended intro! With Drums!
So, a little bit more more about myself and some drum prons.
I live in regional Victoria/Melbourne in Australia, I've been playing about 15 years (I'm 25). First started playing with others in school, by way of stage bands and orchestra then many things followed, I've never not been playing, I can happily say. Now all I need is someone to pay me to do it. I used to be all "metal metal metal"... and while I still like mathy stuff like Animals as Leaders, DEP - I mostly like groovy stuff these days - Jojo Mayer is probably my favourite drummer atm!
I'm currently playing in a few different outfits/projects and weird solo things, some of which can be found at the link below... Different projects/collabs are marked. It's all W.I.P. so be nice :D
Have a drum cover too!
As I said in my introduction, I've been reading the forums here for ages and thought I should probably take the plunge and sign up! Glad to be hear, 'cause drums are awesome... and such!
Anyway, pictures...
Studio kit is a Pearl Masterworks. 4-ply Maple with re-rings, BRL lugs, die-cast hoops - on which I use remo coated emperors / diplomats (reso) - Sizes are; 24x14, 14x6.5, 13x9, 16x16, 18x18.
My gigging kit is a Tama Starclassic Performer (2003) - 100% Birch - which was a 7-piece but I've sold a few drums and it's now 4 - 22x18, 14x5.5, 12x10, 14x12
Here's a live song from a band I play with featuring my old set-up
Cymbals are all Sabian HHX/Legacy/Evolution/AA (I recently switched from Paiste/Zildjian - Pretty happy)
Re: An extended intro! With Drums!
Hey, welcome to the forum - It's definitely a great place to be if you love drums!
Beautiful kit you've got there! Can't wait to get my hands on a nice pearl kit eventually ;)
the cover was great and your drums sounded awesome
Re: An extended intro! With Drums!
Yes, I couldn't be more happy with the MW - I've played lots of boutique kits too, but this kit is perfect for me at the moment.
Nice videos btw!
Re: An extended intro! With Drums!
Welcome to the forums!
That's a sexy kit you've got there, too! :D
Re: An extended intro! With Drums!
It looks good and sounds good. I like Pearl drums and Sabian cymbals too. When I get it together, I will buy a Pearl floor tom, and then I will have a Pearl set. Peace and goodwill.

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
Writer's Block?
There are stories entangled with these thoughts that are not going to appear here because they are confidential. Which may be the other difficulty. Until I can extract the kernels from the stories that I must not tell there isn't much to say.
Then there is the very real and constant conundrum of voice. What kind of blog is this anyway? It's my blog and so it in many ways reflects me, my personality. I am the type of person to be having a deeply intense discussion on the practical aspects of the charismatic ministry of the church one second, or the nature of the divine, and the next laugh myself silly at an episode of South Park, which isn't always funny but sometimes is brilliant, or one of The Bloggess's advice columns, which bring me to tears almost every time I read them. (DO NOT click on that link dad. You will be way more offended by it than the bra post.)
In between those are all of the other things that I think, do, pray and live.
We are, none of us, one dimensional. Is it possible, I wonder, to present here a balanced image of myself? I could write an all devotional spiritual blog, and another on cute things my kids say and their bodily functions, another on my thoughts on marriage, another on justice an poverty, etc. They would each only be a fragment of all that I am.
I am trying to live authentically, both online and off. Yet I find myself pausing before I type certain things, on either end of the spectrum. In my search for balance I tend to stay near the middle, knowing that I may inadvertently offend by either extreme. I don't know if this is the right thing to do or not. It will probably keep being the thing that I do for now.
I do know this. If nothing else the act of telling my story here has in itself altered the story I tell. Or at least the way I tell it. That's another story for another day as well. But I am confident that my life is better because of that shift. So I know I won't be quitting the struggle to continue telling it anytime soon.
Instead of an actual post today you get a post about posting. Sorry about that. It's as much as I can manage to squeeze out right now.

I like your blog, Carrien. I like the honesty and variety.ReplyDelete
Because truth is, we're all very complex creature -- balancing different roles, feeling different things, focusing on different aspects of life from one day to the next. That's the beauty of blogging - it's letting others in to see us being human. And in the process, maybe encouraging them a little, making them laugh, or giving them a new way of looking at life.
I know how you feel. I often wonder that same thing about my blog and the goal. It tells about me, my life and struggles and stories of things I encounter. To some extent it is like a personal journal i print and will one day give to my kids to show them what our life was like. But I also feel the responsability of putting it out there for others to read. Even though it is not a C&MA blog, they know I work for them. Just like yours is not an official Charis Project blog, it still reflects on your organization to people who are interested in your work. We can't get away from those links. Sometimes I think twice before I write some things since I know a long list of supporters are reading it. Will this hurt or hinder my ministry or ability to communicate in the future with them? I by no means hide who I am, but I also chose what I write about. If the only good of writing it is for myself purely or cathartic or just to write, and it will either be "too much information!" or uncomfortable or even hurtful to someone else, i usually won't write it. I can type myself a letter and put it in my journal for something like that or send it in an email to a few friends to walk through it with me. If there is no redeeming value, and in fact may have a negative side affect, I don't share it. That's just what I think about when i write. We cant separate what we write from what we do from who (or for what goal) we work for. And will a post hurt any of those? That is my thoughts at least.ReplyDelete
Your post about posting is a post about life it self. I thank you for your honesty.ReplyDelete

May 7, 2013She hasn't entirely left the Chicks behind, but Maines has grown into something newly dynamic, and entirely her own.
May 13, 2013Her return to music is a quiet triumph. For the most part she has flown the Chicks' country coop for this solo debut, which is a well-curated mostly covers affair.
May 7, 2013Mother is a good, at times even great, start to a solo recording identity for Natalie Maines, but lacks only in the listener's greatest desire, to learn more about Maines.
May 29, 2013While there isn't a strict cohesion tying the record's ten tunes together sonically, an attempted theme would likely have distracted Maines in the effort to spread her wings and show off a bit. Offering up a stylistic sampler provides a portrait of an accomplished artist setting out on her own.
May 9, 2013The album is at its strongest when, as on its centerpiece cover of Jeff Buckley's otherworldy "Lover You Should've Come Over", Maines' extraordinary vocals are allowed to run freely over material that is up to her power.
May 23, 2013Maines makes each track her own, Patty Griffin's "Silver Bells" as pointed as any Dixie Chicks tune, but we're hungry for her rough-and-tumble songs.
May 7, 2013However welcome it may be to hear her voice again, it's ultimately her decision to play things so safe that keeps Mother from being a wholly satisfying return.
May 7, 2013While Maines' singing is the glue that holds everything together, the set's overly polished production and the scattershot curation of the material makes it feel like more like just a haphazard collection of songs than a cohesive album.
May 7, 2013Too often, the music feels a bit limp, and the buttery harmony backups of her fellow Dixie Chicks are sorely missed. But there are some surprises.

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
A Sane Woman's Guide to Motherhood
Many, many months ago Mary asked me if I would write a review for her book. I am finally writing it.
The real title of the book is, A Sane Woman's Guide to Raising a Large Family. But don't let the title fool you. Mothers of any number of children will find this book helpful. Almost everything in this book is useful whether you have 1, 2, 3, or 10 kids. Don't let the title intimidate you. If you have children this book will be worth reading.
I expected to like the book. I've been reading Mary's blog Owlhaven for more than 3 years now. I expected find more of the same great content that is on the blog, and lots of familiar material in a different format.
I didn't expect to learn so much from this one volume. I didn't expect to come away from it encouraged and refreshed in my own life as a mother. I did not know how very useful this book might be.
I didn't think this would be the book that would solve for me the mystery of how to strengthen the emotional connection between my son and I that I have felt stretching thin the past year. I also learned that I will probably never be as patient as I believe I ought to be, but I can hope to become better at faking it as time goes by. And that veteran mothers of 10 still have moments of frustration when bedtime hits and there are toys all over the floor.
Mary's style is fun, light and understanding. She doesn't pretend to be a perfect mothering guru, just a little more experienced. Her suggestions are practical, and possible. Yes you heard that right, possible! Imagine a book about parenting and managing a family that has advice that you can actually picture yourself accomplishing, rather than overwhelming you at the thought of how big a failure you already are.
The book covers all sorts of topics; debunking myths about what kids really need and that supermoms exist, tips for raising polite children, how to understand what really makes your kids feel loved, and how to help them survive trips to the grocery store without meltdowns. To name a few.
I highly recommend you get your hands on a copy and read it for yourself.
For those of you following the story of the children's home in Thailand, I'm pleased to report that since last week there have been 8 new sponsors, and almost $600 in donations. Thank-you for helping. We still have a long way to go to get to 80 sponsors, so please continue to spread the word. Let us not grow weary in doing good.

Google buys a lot of "dark fiber" (unused fiber-optic capacity) and many people take guesses at their reasons. Alex Lightman, CEO of IP telephony vendor Innofone.com, thinks that Google prepares for IPv6 era. IPv6 will replace IPv4 internet protocol as it will support much more internet addresses. As the number of devices connected to internet grows exponentially, IPv4 + NAT routers will not be enough.
"You know who else has a big pot of slash 20? Google," Lightman said. "Yahoo does too. It's not that service providers aren't doing it — it's the savvy service providers, with the high multiples and visionary management, that are getting ready to go into it. This is why Google bought mobile dark fiber. It's to go out and go: 'All these bozos in America aren't rolling out IPv6, so we'll do it if they aren't going to'."
Another reasons for buying dark fiber might be: Google Video's infrastructure, Google Wi-Fi and Google's data centers.

RUH helps to pioneer new NHS bid to save 6,000 lives
Posted: March 27, 2014|
The Royal United Hospital has become of the first in the country to be signed up to an ambitious new NHS scheme aimed at saving 6,000 lives.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday launched the Sign up to Safety initiative, which aims to cut incidents of "avoidable harm" in the NHS by half over the next three years, and reduce costs.
The RUH - which has itself halved such incidents in the last five years - has been picked as one of the first 12 hospitals to be involved.
Medical director Dr Tim Craft said: "This is tremendous news for the trust and reflects the hard work of all our staff in ensuring we are recognised as one of the leading lights in pioneering patient safety in England.
"We have been extremely innovative in the way we have worked to improve patient safety, involving staff at all levels. Patient safety is everyone's responsibility and we are absolutely committed to continually improving."
Each NHS organisation will be invited to set out publicly their plans for reducing medication errors, blood clots and bedsores, with the NHS Litigation Authority reducing the insurance premiums paid by hospitals whose proposals pass muster.
One aim is to reduce the NHS's annual £1.3 billion for litigation claims.
The government will also introduce what it calls a Duty of Candour, making openness and honesty the norm across all health and social care organisations. It will mean providers must notify patients about incidents where 'significant harm' has occurred and provide an apology.
Mr Hunt said: "It is my clear ambition that the NHS should become the safest healthcare system anywhere in the world. I want the tragic events of Mid Staffs to become a turning point in the creation of a more open, compassionate and transparent culture within the NHS.
"We now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to save lives and prevent avoidable harm – which will empower staff and save money that can be reinvested in patient care. Hospitals are already signing up to safety as part of this new movement - and I hope all NHS organisations will soon join them."
The NHS will be persuading 5,000 workers across the service to act as safety champions, identifying unsafe care and developing solutions, and launching a dedicated section of the NHS Choices website in June called 'How Safe is my Hospital'.
Mr Hunt announced the initiative at a hospital in Seattle where a woman was accidently injected with cleaning fluid around ten years ago, but which is now one of the safest hospitals in the world.
At the RUH, hospital mortality has been cut by a fifth in the last five years.
Staff particularly look out for patients with dementia, MRSA and nutritional needs, as well as those at risk of skin ulcers and falls.
Professor Carol Peden, the RUH's associate medical director for quality improvement, said: "We work very closely with our counterparts in other NHS trusts to share what we've learned.
"In quality improvement we use the phrase 'steal shamelessly', which essentially means if there is a good idea which improves patient safety we should all use it.
"Our success in driving forward improvements has come from providing good leadership which empowers all staff to take action. Staff on the frontline are the ones who know patients best, and understand what the barriers might be to delivering great care.
"We believe that every member of staff has a role to play in improving patient safety, for example we have had cleaners say 'I never knew I could save a life too' after sharing their ideas during one of our collaborative sessions."
Meanwhile, the RUH's maternity wing has been given £120,500 to aid the provision of a stillbirth delivery facility.
Maternity minister Dr Dan Poulter announced that the hospital would receive a share of a £10 million pot as part of the government's drive to improve maternity care for women and babies.
The money given to the RUH will support the renovation of a previously used delivery room into a discrete space for the delivery of stillbirth pregnancies.
RUH chief executive James Scott said: "The funding we have secured from the Department of Health will enable us to provide a bereavement suite at the RUH.
"We know that delivering a stillborn baby is a traumatic experience for families and we want to ensure that families are cared for in a bespoke area.
"Work on the suite will be completed by the summer."
The RUH will take maternity services - currently run by the Great Western Hospitals NHS Trust in Swindon - in-house in June.
Mr Scott added: "We are looking forward to working with patients, our new staff, and all our other stakeholders to deliver a comprehensive, holistic maternity service over the next three years."
The fund has been allocated to 63 trusts across the country and will help to improve the settings where women receive care before, during and after birth.
Bath MP Don Foster said: "This money will really help the hospital get this new facility up and running.
"We all know how sensitive this issue is and it is so important that we do everything possible to try and help the patients who have to go through this traumatic experience."

Any country that satisfies the conditions for membership can apply. These conditions are known as the 'Copenhagen criteria' and include a free-market economy, a stable democracy and the rule of law, and the acceptance of all EU legislation, including of the euro.
A country wishing to join the EU submits a membership application to the Council, which asks the Commission to assess the applicant's ability to meet the Copenhagen criteria. If the Commission's opinion is positive, the Council must then agree upon a negotiating mandate. Negotiations are then formally opened on a subject-by-subject basis.
Due to the huge volume of EU rules and regulations each candidate country must adopt as national law, the negotiations take time to complete. The candidates are supported financially, administratively and technically during this pre-accession period.

Michelin North America announced on Thursday, a 200 million dollar major expansion of its Starr, S.C., manufacturing plant.
The company expects the investment to create more than 100 new jobs.
Anderson County Council Chairman Francis Crowder said the future could hold even more positive news like this.
"They also stated that there were future plans in Anderson County depending on the future of the economic and the fiscal cliff situation in Washington, so that makes all of this even more exciting", said Crowder.
Construction is underway on the Starr plant expansion, which will be adjacent to the current facility.
Crowder said it's the cooperation between several different groups in the county which have created such a great relationship with Michelin North America.
"We appreciate the good work that our economic development people have done", said Crowder. "We are thankful for the partnership we have with the city and chamber of commerce, as well as other business oriented groups in the county that make this relationship work with Michelin."
Michelin said operations at the expansion should begin at some point in 2014.

Chili-Lime Noodles
This post is dedicated to my Mom.
Whenever we chat on the phone, she likes to ask me how I am doing eating through my pantry. Are you still eating all your noodles? What about your beans?
I've tried to reassure her that yes, we are eating through our pantry. I am still eating through my kelp noodles, my collection of beans and polishing off assorted grains like millet. She just might not be able to tell from my blog posts. Not everything makes it to the blog and sometimes it can take a while for me to put together a proper post (backlog!).
So here we go: photographic proof we're eating the soba noodles, too. OK, Rob is eating the soba noodles. ;)
Never doubt a Tess recipe. Here we have soba noodles that are smothered in a bright, tangy, zesty and most importantly delicious chili-lime dressing. The dressing has mostly raw ingredients, like garlic and cilantro that complement the heat from the sriracha, ginger and green onion and the sour from the fresh lime juice. A little sweetness goes a long way in balancing the flavours from the agave.
As with most dressings, feel free to add any vegetables you desire. I just photographed the base noodles, but it was served with pan-fried tofu and eggplant, since they were lingering in the fridge. Somehow the addition of eggplants didn't make for a very photogenic dish, but Mom, believe me that we had some veggies and protein with this meal. ;)
This is my submission to this week's Presto Pasta Nights, hosted by Val, and to this week's Healthy Vegan Friday and Ricki's Wellness Weekend.
Chili-Lime Noodles
Adapted from Radiant Health, Inner Wealth (original recipe here)
1/2 lb. long thin noodles (we used soba)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sriracha
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ketchup
5 large cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or less if you prefer)
1.5 teaspoons agave, or your choice of sweetener
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced (oops, forgot to add this)
4 green onions, thinly sliced (green and white parts)
1/4 cup (lightly packed) chopped fresh cilantro
+ lime-tamari tofu (optional)
+ other assorted vegetables
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, toasted and crushed
1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles until al dente according to the package's instructions. Drain in a strainer or colander.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oil, ginger, sriracha, lime juice, ketchup, garlic, soy sauce, salt and agave. Whisk until completely smooth.
3. Next, chop your carrot, green onions and cilantro and add to the sauce. Mix well to combine.
4. Once your noodles are finished, add them into the bowl with the sauce. Toss until well combined. Garnish with the peanuts and serve. This dish is good hot, cold, or at room temperature but do not reheat the leftovers.
Serves 4.

Great combination of flavours. So glad you shared with Presto Pasta Nights.
Something tells me your mom doesn't REALLY have to worry about you not eating or not eating well. :P But moms will be moms after all and its their job. I LOVE the sound of these noodles…that spicy sauce! Mmm.
