This past Sunday, I had the privilege of preaching/presenting our ministry to the great people at Grand Avenue Baptist Church in Ames, Iowa. In preparing for this time, I decided that it was an ideal opportunity for me to begin a process of exploring what the Scripture has to say about the global human diaspora.
Say what?
I said the "global human diaspora." My friend Sadiri Joy Tira refers to this phenomenon as "scattered people" and has provided the following explanation:
The term "diaspora" is originally a Greek word referring to the Jewish dispersion, i.e. to the scattering of Jews outside Palestine (Leviticus 26:33; Deuteronomy 28:64; Ezekiel 36:19) and also refers to the scattering of Christians of the early Church in the New Testament (Acts 8:1, 4; 11:19). Over the centuries, the term "diaspora" has been added to contemporary vocabulary in reference to the People on the Move who will cross national borders, i.e. the scattered peoples. Other terms such as "migration," "emigration" and "immigration" have been used in reference to People on the Move.
When I was preaching in Ames last weekend, my focus was on answering the question, "Is this scattering a negative or a positive thing from a Biblical perspective?" My thinking is that when we do consider the phenomenon of diaspora, we tend to think of it as an essentially negative thing. The portraits we have of it in Scripture, like the Babylonian Exile or the Tower of Babel, seem only to be acts of judgment. But I am beginning to see that upon closer examination, while judgment is indeed an important factor to consider in understanding these events, the scattering itself is a basically good thing. Let me explain.
When God created the first humans, he commanded them to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen. 1:28). Humanity had no right to simply stay in one place. God desired that men and women would scatter, filling the entire planet with divine image-bearers. So important was this command, that when Noah and his family exited the ark, God repeated it -- "Fill the earth," He said (Gen. 9:7). It is only in light of this command that we can really understand the events of Genesis 11.
I think ordinarily when American Christians interact with the story of the Tower of Babel, they read it as a story of human pride and self-dependence. The notion of "making a name for ourselves" is what really stands out. When God acts, confusing the language and scattering the people, we tend to see this judgment against pride. But if we read it in light of the "fill the earth" command, we can see something else at work.
This is the beauty of preparing weekly sermons on old, familiar Bible stories for an audience for whom the stories are totally new. My Bhutanese-Nepali brothers and sisters do not bring the same "pre-understanding" to the text that I do. As a result, they see things that I don't. In this case, they were able to easily see why the people of Genesis 11 wanted to "make a name for themselves." For someone born in Bhutan and forced to flee to makeshift refugee camps in Nepal, who lived 17-20 years in those camps before relocating to the altogether foreign surroundings of suburban Chicago, there is only one phrase that holds the key to this story -- "lest we be scattered throughout the whole earth" (Gen. 11:4).
The builders of the tower were not motivated by pride as much as they were motivated by a desire to not be scattered. The tower to be built by this mass of people united in language, culture, and geography was to stand for all generations as powerful centering symbol that was intended to prevent the frightening prospects of dispersion -- the diaspora that God intended from the beginning. When God intervened, confusing the language and scattering the people, we should note that an important element of judgment is there. However, the end result was the accomplishment of God's original intent, the filling of the earth with His image-bearers.
So, if we take off our anthropological glasses for a moment (nice as they are), and put on our missiological ones, we arrive at a different kind of definition for the global human diaspora:
The phenomenon of the global human diaspora is God's activity of purposefully scattering His image-bearers around the world in order to gather disciples to Himself from every people, nation, tribe, and tongue.
Paul articulates this nicely in his sermon to the Athenians:
"From one man, [God] made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." (Acts 17:26-27)
So, there is a latent call here in the knowledge that the diaspora is a part of God's sovereign plan of redemption. And that call is to resist that tower-building tendency in us--to resist the fear of otherness and that which is unknown, to resist the urge to do something other than sojourn here, to never forget that we are aliens and strangers here called to intentionally scatter and gather.

Is the Global Human Diaspora a Good or a Bad Thing?

Hi Cody, you make some excellent points in this article that as you point out aren't well understood but need to be. We have a human tendency to want to congregate and stay put instead of go and disperse to share the blessings we have as image-bearers. I think we can fast foward thousandds of year and see that human tendency remains the same by considering the monuments we build here in the U.S. we call churches instead of sharing the blessings we have in Christ to the outer-most reaches. No doubt why God, who will complete his creation plan to fill the earth with the knowledge of who He is, is now bringing us peoples from those outer most reaches. Good article.ReplyDelete

ProFootballTalk: The latest on Flacco's negotiations
The rout is on in Detroit
It's getting ugly in Detroit.
The Lions are putting a Thanksgiving Day beatdown on the Eagles, with three Calvin Johnson touchdowns leading the way on offense and three Ziggy Ansah sacks leading the way on defense.
Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez has been battered and beaten, but it's far from only his fault. The Lions' defensive line is getting the better of the Eagles' offensive line, and Philadelphia's receivers aren't getting much separation downfield.
Meanwhile, the injury-plagued secondary of Philadelphia simply can't do anything about Johnson. This game is almost unfair.
Chip Kelly is having a very bad Thanksgiving. And he's still got a quarter to play.
Eagles lose Nolan Carroll with broken ankle
A bad season just got a lot worse for the Eagles.
Starting cornerback Nolan Carroll has a broken ankle, the team announced. Carroll suffered in the injury in the first half of Thursday's game at Detroit.
Carroll, 28, spent his first four seasons with the Dolphins before joining the Eagles in 2014. He became a full-time starter in Philly this year, which given his contractual status could be his last with the Eagles.
Carroll has been replaced by rookie second-rounder Eric Rowe, who possibly will become the replacement for the rest of 2015 and beyond.
It feels like now or never for Chip Kelly in Philly
Four days after being blown out, 45-17, by a team that won two games in all of 2014, the Eagles are down 24-7 through 30 minutes of a game against a team that had won one game in the first half of 2015.
And with Philly and coach Chip Kelly on track to lose a third game in a row, questions will get louder and more persistent about his future. While USC indeed remains a possibility, the primary NFL option is the one that first became obvious after Kelly couldn't strike a deal to land former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota in the draft.
The Titans already have fired their head coach, and interim coach Mike Mularkey hasn't done enough to merit serious consideration for the permanent gig. If Tennessee ownership has interest in Kelly (and if they know what they're doing, they should), a reunion makes plenty of sense.
It wouldn't be nearly as complicated as some have suggested. As PFT previously has explained, the Titans simply need to call the Eagles and ask whether it's possible to work out a deal that would allow the Titans to hire Kelly, if he's interested in making the leap. With each additional loss, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie presumably will become more willing to let Kelly go in exchange for reasonable compensation — especially if Lurie already is thinking about making a change.
Of course, Kelly also would have to want to make the change. If Kelly does, maybe he simply would try to force his way out, which would allow him to go straight to Nashville without the Titans giving up draft picks that otherwise would help Kelly put talent around Mariota.
While it's a point of pride (supposedly) for a coach to be traded for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and $8 million in cash like the Bucs did for Jon Gruden nearly 14 years ago, those selections would have helped Gruden put a team on the field that may have allowed him to do better than 60-57 in Tampa.
Ultimately, this one comes down to: (1) whether the Titans want Kelly; and (2) whether Kelly wants the Titans. The Eagles likely wouldn't force Kelly to stay for another year, especially if what has become a disastrous third season continues.
Lions take big lead into halftime on Megatron TD
Matthew Stafford is dealing, and Mark Sanchez is struggling.
Stafford hit Calvin Johnson in the end zone for a touchdown with 12 seconds remaining in the second half to give the Lions a 24-7 lead heading into halftime, and it's been pitch-and-catch for the Lions' offense.
The Eagles' offense had one good drive that ended with a Sanchez touchdown pass to Brent Celek, but for the most part it's been an ugly half of offense. Chip Kelly needs to figure something out at halftime.
Detroit fans cheered as their team went to the locker room. You can bet Philly fans are grumbling over their Thanksgiving dinners.
Eagles score after Lions lose Glover Quin to leg injury
The Eagles' offense is starting to get moving, and the Lions' defense has lost a key player.
Lions safety Glover Quin suffered a leg injury late in the first quarter and hasn't returned to the game. He appeared to be in pain, and frustrated that he couldn't run on the sideline. Quin went to the locker room and the Lions said he was questionable to return with an ankle injury.
The Eagles, taking advantage of a depleted secondary, took the lead with a two-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez to Brent Celek. That tied the score at 7-7.
Philadelphia also suffered a loss in the secondary, as starting right cornerback Nolan Carroll went down in the second quarter. Carroll was carted off the field, wearing the look of a player who knows he had just suffered a significant injury.
Lions take early lead on Theo Riddick touchdown
Heading into this week, Detroit's Theo Riddick was the leading receiver among all NFL running backs. He's getting more work done today.
Riddick has two catches for 31 yards in the first quarter against the Eagles, and his second catch was a touchdown to give the Lions an early 7-0 lead.
After an ugly first drive that went backward, the Lions' offense settled down and got contributions from Riddick, Golden Tate and Ameer Abdullah on the second drive. Matthew Stafford also threw a beautiful pass to Brandon Pettigrew that could have gone for a touchdown, but Pettigrew dropped it.
Now the Mark Sanchez-led Eagles' offense will have to answer.
Eagles left tackle Jason Peters suffers leg injury
Eagles left tackle Jason Peters has had more than his share of injury problems, and now he has another.
Peters suffered an apparent leg injury on the first drive of the game when Lions defensive end Jason Jones rolled up on him from behind. Peters was able to get up and walk off under his own power. The Eagles said he was questionable to return.
The Eagles' offense moved the ball well on its first drive, but a facemasking penalty on Lane Johnson, who moved to left tackle to take Peters's place, pushed Philly back and Caleb Sturgis missed a 50-yard field goal.
The Lions' offense could do nothing with its good field position after that, and there was an exchange of punts. Not much action so far on Thanksgiving.
Report: Manziel lied to Browns about recent photos
As if Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel hadn't already given the team more than enough reasons to never trust him again, here's another. According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, Manziel lied to the Browns about the circumstances surrounding the photos that surfaced following his bye-week excursion to Texas.
Per Glazer, Manziel not only told the team that the photos weren't taken over the weekend but also recruited others to vouch for the falsehood.
The news underscores the fact that Manziel simply isn't ready to be a full-time NFL starter, and perhaps never will be. Apart from the medical condition that resulted in a 10-week stay in rehab, Manziel has shown a troubling lack of maturity and self-awareness.
After getting the starting job for the rest of the season, with a chance to parlay that six-game audition into the full-time gig for 2016 and perhaps beyond, Manziel didn't dedicate himself to doing everything he could to becoming the best quarterback he could be. (Manziel should read Peter King's article on Carson Palmer's approach to absorbing a game plan for an example of the level of commitment required.) Instead, Manziel opted to take a break, going to a place where he knew alcohol would be unavoidable, putting himself in position to be photographed partying, and then concocting a flimsy fabrication to cover it all up.
So, basically, Manziel squandered in one weekend whatever trust he had rebuilt with the team following his disastrous rookie season. Coach Mike Pettine would be foolish to trust Manziel a third time, and at this point the only reason to keep Manziel around is to eventually try to unload him onto Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for a draft pick or two.
Bucs receive notice of Kwon Alexander suspension, subject to appeal
It's official, sort of.
The Buccaneers have received notice that linebacker Kwon Alexander has been suspended for four game for violating the league's PED policy, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The suspension is subject to appeal, and Alexander has five days to file the paperwork challenging the outcome.
Stroud reports that Alexander will play Sunday in Indianapolis. The rookie likewise will be permitted to keep playing until his appeal is resolved.
Alexander has acknowledged the positive test; he has blamed it on an energy drink he has been using since high school.
Bradford inactive; Peters, Kelce, Megatron, Slay active
Although key players on both teams were listed as questionable on the Thanksgiving injury report, the Eagles' and Lions' inactives were exactly as expected.
Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is inactive today in Detroit, meaning Mark Sanchez will start for the second straight week. The Eagles will have left tackle Jason Peters and tight end Jason Kelce, both of whom were listed as questionable as well.
The Lions will have their best offensive player, wide receiver Calvin Johnson, and their best defensive player, cornerback Darius Slay, active. Both were also listed as questionable.
The Lions' inactive are defensive tackle Gabe Wright, receiver T.J. Jones, offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle, offensive tackle Corey Robinson, defensive tackle Jermelle Cudjo, safety Isaiah Johnson and tight end Tim Wright.
The Eagles' inactives are Bradford, running back Ryan Mathews, receiver Jonathan Krause, cornerback Denzel Rice, offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson, tight end Zach Ertz and defensive end Brandon Bair.
Belichick expresses gratitude to media, high school football
There's a perception that Patriots coach Bill Belichick never has anything to say at his press conferences, primarily because the regular examples of Belichick not having anything to say at his press conferences become the sound bites from those press conferences. (Except when he's making My Cousin Vinny references.)
But Belichick often provides lengthy, instructive answers to good questions about football, showing that he's not generally disinclined to talk, but that he merely is reluctant to talk in response to questions that he deems to be bad or uninteresting.
On Thursday, Belichick added a finally comment at the end of his press conference, not in response to any specific question.
"I'll jump in there and just wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving," Belichick said. "I appreciate the professional way that this group covers us and being the conduit of information from the team to the fans. We have great fan support.
"Today is also a day to be recognized with the high school football level with so many traditional and rivalry games taking place. Having been at high school and played in those games myself, we always had a traditional Thanksgiving Day game between Annapolis and Severna Park, and I know how important that was to the teams, the families and really the whole school body that supported us. It's such a good traditional way to capture and bring a lot of things together — family, community, friendship — and do it in a competitive way but also in a way that bonds friendship and community support. And just recognizing the high schools, the great job the coaches and those programs do to develop players that eventually become our players and how impactful they are to our players.
"When I talk to players at the [scouting] combine in the spring and so forth usually the two most influential people for kids are their parents or in some cases one parent and then the high school football coach or maybe a junior high school football coach — somebody who mentored them along the way or kind of helped them develop as young men. All of us who have had that opportunity have certainly gained from it and taken from it. So just reaching out to them with our level of appreciation for what they do for kids that we eventually see at this level and for all the support that the parents and the families and the high schools gives those teams and those players and how it brings everybody together. And again, thanks to all of you for taking time on your Thanksgiving morning to accommodate us, and we look forward to seeing you out in Denver. Happy Thanksgiving."
It's a rare public glimpse of the human side of Belichick, which often is kept within the hard shell of a lifelong football coach who has been involved in the game since a very early age, helping his father, Steve, break down film at the Naval Academy. Belichick usually stays true to the job, but every once in a while we get a reminder of the fact that there's more to him than the gruff, stern, abrupt, and aloof persona he adopts when in full-blown coaching mode.
Will Mike Shula finally get NFL head-coaching consideration?
When listing assistant coaches who could be NFL head coaches in 2016, names like Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels sit near the top of the stack. One name has yet to crack the assistant coach "A" list.
Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula.
In early 2014, PFT made the case for Shula to be considered for the vacancy in Washington, given his work with Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. Carolina had just finished a 12-4 campaign, with the 11-1 finish after a 1-3 start sparked in large part by Shula's decision to scour Newton's film from Auburn in search of plays and concepts that would work.
Shula didn't get any sniffs then, he wasn't mentioned last year after a late-season surge carried the Panthers to a second straight NFC South title, and his name has come up recently only in connection with the University of Miami vacancy.
It's unclear why Shula, who has helped transform a spread-offense, one-read, simplistic-playbook college quarterback into one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, hasn't gotten more attention. His father, Don, was one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Mike Shula's brother, David, was one of the worst of the last 25 years. And Mike had a shot with Alabama, but he was fired — and he was followed by Nick Saban, who took the program back to its houndstooth heights.
Still, there's a fundamental difference between coaching in college and coaching in the NFL. The pro game places a major premium on quarterback play, and with so many college quarterbacks not ready for the NFL, a guy who has accomplished what so few coaches can should at least be getting talked about as an NFL head coach.
Shula's next chance to make a name for himself while carrying one of the most recognizable names in football comes later today, when the Panthers square off against the Cowboys. In past years, players like Randy Moss and Robert Griffin III have used that spot for coming-out parties.
This year, if/when (when) Newton is throwing touchdown passes and dancing in the end zone, maybe someone who will be looking for a head coach will at least make a note of Shula's role in that process.
Undefeated Panthers still have Marty Hurney's fingerprints on roster
When Panthers fans gather around their televisions this afternoon to watch their 10-0 team, there are many people for whom they should be thankful.
But one of the unheralded architects of their current success is a guy they fired over three years ago.
Fourteen of the 53 players on the Panthers roster were acquired by former General Manager Marty Hurney, before he was fired on Oct. 22, 2012. And while that's just over a quarter of the team, he's responsible for most of their biggest stars.
Their offense has been built from the inside out with his draft picks, with quarterback Cam Newton, center Ryan Kalil and running back Jonathan Stewart. Throw in trade acquisition Greg Olsen and free agent fullback Mike Tolbert, and the guts of their offense have been in place for years.
On the other side of the ball, former defensive player of the year Luke Kuechly, linebacker Thomas Davis, defensive end Charles Johnson and breakout cornerback Josh Norman were all drafted by Hurney.
The rest of his guys on the roster include backup quarterback Derek Anderson, punter Brad Nortman, safety Colin Jones, long snapper J.J. Jansen and defensive tackle Dwan Edwards. Three other players he acquired (Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler and Frank Alexander) are on injured reserve.
That's not to say current G.M. Dave Gettleman hasn't done a good job building a championship-level roster, he has with good drafting and strategic forays into free agency. Gettleman's also had to do it while digging out from salary cap problems, and those get pinned on the guy he replaced. But with time to look back on the glut of deals Hurney signed in 2011, it's worth wondering how much of that cap consequence might have been avoided if owner Jerry Richardson would have let him extend some of those players before the lockout. Instead, Richardson effectively handcuffed his own roster to prove a larger labor point, at a time he was helping Roger Goodell negotiate a new CBA.
But Hurney's best move might have been hiring first-time head coach Ron Rivera, and allowing him to develop. Rivera looked like a guy in over his head at the time Hurney was fired (he was 7-15 at that point), but has grown into a legitimate coach of the year candidate, having won 14 straight regular season games with a style built on being steady.
The greater point might be that the Panthers have allowed such a strong core of players and coaches to grow together, and the three years of stability have as much to do with their success as the individual identities of the players or coaches.
But the guy who put them there deserves at least a little credit too.
Red Grange's debut, 90 years later
On Thanksgiving night, the Chicago Bears will play the role (the Packers hope) of the Washington Generals for the Brett Favre Jersey Retirement Celebration. Ninety years ago on Thanksgiving, the Bears were the main event for a Thanksgiving Day slate of games that helped give pro football early legitimacy.
As noted by the 2015 Official NFL Record & Fact Book, Harold "Red" Grange made his debut with the Bears on Thanksgiving in 1925, sparking what then was the largest crowd in pro football history — 36,000 — to show up for what turned out to be a scoreless tie between the Bears and the Chicago Cardinals at Wrigley Field.
At a time when college football had much greater credibility and popularity than the pro game, the arrival of Grange only days after the end of his college career gave the professional football a major boost.
Not long after that Thanksgiving, the Bears played eight games in 12 days, in St. Louis, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Chicago. And that Thanksgiving attendance record didn't last long; after drawing 36,000 for the game against the Cardinals, the Bears and Halas attracted 73,000 to the Polo Grounds for a game against the Giants.
The game has changed dramatically since then, but Thanksgiving is the ideal time to reflect on the rich history of the NFL, which started playing Thanksgiving Day games in 1920 with a slate of six contests: the Akron Pros against the Canton Bulldogs, the Decatur Staleys (which became the Chicago Bears) against the Chicago Tigers, the Elyria Athletics against the Columbus Panhandles, the Dayton Triangles against the Detroit Heralds, the Chicago Boosters against the Hammond Pros, and the All-Tonawanda versus the Rochester Jeffersons.
Nearly a century later, it'll be the Philadelphia Eagles at the Detroit Lions, the Carolina Panthers at the Dallas Cowboys, and Red Grange's Bears at Brett Favre's Packers on Thanksgiving 2015. Enjoy the day, appreciate the gifts you have, and get ready for three helpings of the greatest game in the world.
Titans want to up threat of Mariota running the ball
In Week 11's game against the Jaguars, the Titans took a third quarter lead when quarterback Marcus Mariota kept the ball on a read-option and sprinted 23 yards for a touchdown.
The Jags would rally to win the game in the fourth quarter, but the sight of Mariota keeping the ball and hurting a defense with his feet is one that interim coach Mike Mularkey would like to see more of in the future. Mariota ran the ball 11 times in his first six starts of the year, but has 10 rushes in the last two weeks as Mularkey has put more emphasis on that aspect of Mariota's game.
"We're tinkering a little more with his running ability," Mularkey said, via the Tennessean. "As he's gotten healthier, we've put more things in there that has given him the [ability to] run. It doesn't mean he's going to, but it gives him the opportunity to run. … I like those plays because it keeps defenses honest. It helps the run game. One thing he is trying to do — and I'm adamant about — is what he does after he hands the ball off. If he can hold somebody for any type of time, even for a split second, it's a guy that's not going to be in on the play — whether that's a guy in the secondary or a safety [wondering] 'Does he have it or doesn't he?'"
Mariota's running ability was put to good use in college, but the Titans emphasized pocket passing as Mariota made the transition to the NFL during the offseason and preseason. He's done well on that front and adding something else for defenses to think about when facing the Titans should be to his benefit well beyond the final weeks of this season.

The Art in Brewing Beer
January 16, 2012 · Print This Article
By 1979, Tom Marioni had been gathering with friends, drinking beer, and calling it art for almost a decade. It began in 1970 when Marioni invited friends to the Oakland Musem of Art on a Monday, the day it was closed, to hang out and drink beer. The gathering's detritus became the art for the museum-going public to experience. Marioni called it The Act of Drinking Beer With Friends is the Highest Form of Art, and began hosting nights of beer drinking at his studio and at his Museum of Conceptual Art. In the wake of countless bottles and hangovers, the work finally made an appearance at SFMoMA in 1979. It was recently reinstalled there for the museum's exhibition The Art of Participation.
This iteration of The Act of Drinking Beer took shape as a seventies-era fridge stocked with free beer, a framed poster from Marioni's Museum of Conceptual Art, and a sturdy wood shelf mounted on the wall that displayed 200 bottles of Anchor Steam Beer. A bare lightbulb hanging from the ceiling seems to me to represent Marioni's "eureka moment" realization that the act of drinking beer with friends, an experience common to so many local art scenes, could become the art itself. The beer served was certainly appropriate for the venue—Anchor Steam Beer has been brewed in San Francisco for over a hundred years, perhaps the best known of a category of beer called California Common. It's something of an anomaly, as most beer is sorted into one of two categories: warm-fermented ale or cool-fermented lager. California Common Beer blurs these categories. West Coast brewers in the late nineteenth century brewed lager yeast warm to produce a beer that retains characteristics of both ale and lager. The result is something of a hybrid, an experiment by necessity that flouts traditional wisdom and tastes good anyway.
Anchor also holds an important place in the history of craft beer. After the second World War, the American beer market was dominated (as it still is) by large breweries like Miller and Anheuser-Busch. While the Anchor Brewery in San Francisco held on after the war, it did so by producing low-quality beer. Fritz Maytag III, heir to the Maytag fortune, bought the brewery in 1965 and restored it to its former glory by slowing things down and making smaller quantities of high-quality beer. It was artful, experimental, and historically conscious—all hallmarks of craft brewing today. Craft beer categories are even more well-defined than categories in art. With precisely measured qualities like alcohol-by-volume, international bitterness units, and specific gravity I could describe a Pilsner in a few lines. Art Brut would likely take a few paragraphs. But craft beer also opens itself to radical mistreatments of its established standards, allowing for the birth of new hybrid categories like California Common.
By refusing categories, The Act of Drinking Beer allowed the social form of beer drinking to exist as an artwork in its own right. Since Marioni's first bottle was cracked open, a slew of artists have made artwork that takes shape around shared food and beverage. But Marioni's expansion of art's categorical dimensions to include social gatherings is not the most interesting thing about him. The impulse to disregard categories without permission, abandoning the urge to patrol boundaries, is what truly opens up new productive avenues for artmaking. Only this kind of free-wheeling experimentation can keep art, and brewing, vital.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be conducting and posting interviews with artists that brew to try and find out what skills, qualities, and perpsectives they bring to bear on beer. I suspect that most of them brew not to plant the flag of art on the shores of beer, but to explore untapped potentials in making a beverage they've been led to for reasons as varied as the refrigerated stock of a craft beer store. Just as a lager yeast and an ale-style fermentation can combine to make a beer that happily exists as both ale and lager, so too can artists and brewers disregard time-worn categories and embrace the possibilities of being two things at once. That beer can be art shouldn't surprise us. The myriad things that artists can do with beer should.
Tessa Siddle is a transgender video maker and performance artist based out of San Francisco. In her work she regularly embodies hybrid forms — bleeding her self between animal, human, singular and multiplicitous identities — in order to challenge a tidier, pervasive binary tradition. What I find particularly interesting about her work is the way in which it relies as much on the performative, physical body — make up and costume effects — as it does on technology advances, like the blue screen for instance. The effect is itself a hybrid of effects that coalesce to become an illusory, allegorical space. Tessa also organizes and curates an experimental film series, The MisAlt Screening Series, in the Bay Area.
CP: You often deal with hybridity often in your work — in your performances you sometimes embody animals, in other instances you are at once one person and two people at the same time. Can you talk a little bit about how you think of hybridity?Â
TS: I feel like a lot of people in the arts are talking about hybridity using very different (and I think more or less equally valid) definitions which occasionally leads to a little bit of confusion. I have often heard the term "hybrid forms" applied equally to visual depictions of chimeras and other hybridized figures and to the use of organic forms, mixed-media, and composite materials.
My personal interests in hybridity comes out of the convergence of my life-long fascination with combined human/animal/machine forms (most notably the chimeras of ancient myth, anthropomorphized animals in children's literature, and human/machine/extraterrestrial hybrids of science fiction and UFO mythos) with my exposure to critics like Donna Haraway who use the figure of the cyborg and other hybrids to critique dualist social constructions and the idea of personhood and individual agency being bound within a unified and independent bodies. This exposure roughly coincided with the beginning of my desire to confront my long-time (and continuing) discomfort with binary gender and I was constantly on the look out for alternative theories of the body and I found the concept of cyborg bodies whose slippery existence is held together by constantly shifting relationships between humans, machines, animals, and institutions to be extremely exciting. It is largely in this spirit that I go about creating work in which I split
myself into various animal and plant versions of myself.
CP: It seems like there's a way that hybridity can question assumptions latent in, say, gender binaries or species distinction. Even in terms of what you're addressing with robotic/mechanical vs. organic/self-determined structures. It's like you're decentralizing ideas of self-hood and self-determination, while undermining traditional power structures. Having said that, I'm not really sure I know what I mean when I say "traditional power structures" except that I feel it manifests itself visually in my mind as a kind of monolith. A giant cultural pillar with neat and tidy assigned parts. Do you feel like your efforts are anarchistic? Or are you looking for a new kind of order? In other words, should the hybridity remain unfixed and unfixable? Or would do you aim to create a new kind of identity that is, say, part cheetah with human hindquarters and a robot arm?
TS: I feel that when talking about power structures it is important to distinguish between models of power (the ways of looking at power) and the organization of power into social institutions. I think that the traditional way of looking at power is the monolithic model of which you speak, in which power descends from a (often divine) pinnacle of authority on to the people beneath. There is also the bottom-up view of power, which is a democratic inversion of the monolithic model, in which the legitimacy of the authority on the top comes from the power of the people below. I subscribe to a model of power in which power is radiating from everyone, everywhere, in all directions — without a top, bottom, or center. I think that this is the structure of power regardless of the institutions and social constructions into which it is molded.
What the monolithic model and the bottom-up model share is that they are both preoccupied with the legitimacy of existing institutions and constructions. Things are the way they are, they say, because of divine (or scientific or natural) order or popular consensus. Under these models, binaries are presented as part of a natural or innate cultural order, part of the way things are.
I think that what hybrid figures do to binaries is to show that they are actually the way things are not (or that binaries, if they exist, are extremely rare). I think, for example, that the human/non-human binary falls apart as soon as we look really closely at the human body. A classical (humanist) reading of the body considers it to be a unified, holistic, 100% human form — the most human form — however if we take out our microscopes, look onto and beneath our skin, look deep into our guts (take a literally very close look) what we see is that the body is host to colony after colony of (mostly benign) bacteria, protozoa, viruses, very small animals, and fungi. From my limited understanding (I am not a biologist) the health of these colonies is essential for the health of the overall body to the point that we can look at the human body as already (and always) being inhuman.
I feel that in my own efforts, I am not trying to prescribe an anarchistic role to hybrids or to suggest a new world order, but rather I am attempting create semi-fictional realities in which the already slippery relationships between humans, animals, and plants are amplified in their slipperiness.
CP: Can you talk a little bit  about how that slipperiness plays out in some of your work?
TS: Â I think in a lot of my work I'm attempting to create situations/environments/performances that play with the boundaries between things that are frequently placed in opposition with each other. When I perform as a community of fox/people, a family of rabbits, a bouquet of flowers, or a forest ecosystem I try to borrow equally from scientific, mythological, historical, pop cultural, autobiographical, and autofictional sources to create the text, structure, and logic of my characters and the worlds they interact with. My hope, is that by fusing these elements together I can create alternate realities that feel natural, magical, confessional, and opaque at more or less the same time. I also try my best to give these worlds a logic that seems coherent but also transparently artificial and frayed around the edges.
Episode 313: Elaine Buckholtz

This week, Brian, Patricia, and Art Practical contributor Mary Anne Kluth sit down with artist Elaine Buckholtz and gallery president Richard Lang at Electric Works in San Francisco where Buckholz's solo show, Light Making Motion: Works on Paper and in Light, was recently on view. In her review, Kluth notes that Buckholtz, whose primary medium is light, "is a generous guide, making instructive objects that allow her audience to come to discoveries†about the "experience of vision as a phenomena unfolding in time… focus[ing] attention on shifting, fleeting, elusive sensations.†In this conversation they talk about that generosity, the installations on view, working with Meredith Monk, and the pleasures of going off the cliff, Wile. E. Coyote–style.
Buckholz received her MFA at Stanford University and has shown at the Swiss Technorama Museum, Winterthur, Switzerland; Pierogi Leipzig, Germany; the Wexner Center For The Arts, Columbus, OH; the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Idaho; the Claremont Museum, Claremont, CA; Stanford University, Palo Alto; California College of The Arts, Fusion Art Space, the Luggage Store, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.

Episode 296: Butler and Cain
May 2, 2011 · Print This Article
This week: As part of the Art Los Angeles Contemporary art fair, which took place January 27-30 at the Barker Hanger of the Santa Monica Airport, the crew from Art Practical produced "In and Out of Context: Artists Define the Space between San Francisco and Los Angeles,†a series of conversation that imagined the two cities as "a continuously evolving constellation of dialogues, shared interests, and overlapping approaches.
In this episode Patricia Maloney and Art Practical editor Victoria Gannon chatwith San Francisco-based artist Luke Butler, again in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Airport, as part of their ongoing quest to find a quiet spot away from the bustle of the fair. Butler reflects on his longstanding admiration for Captain Kirk while Patricia and Victoria wonder if he'll suddenly start speaking in Klingon. Later, Patricia and AP editor Tess Thackara speak with artist Sarah Cain about her years living and working in the Bay Area before relocating to Los Angeles, her working process, and the oases she finds in LA.
Luke Butler received his MFA from California College of the Arts in 2008. Heworks in paintings and collage; much of his imagery comes from pop culture, most often from television and movies of his childhood including Starsky and Hutch and Star Trek, along with other iconic images, such as that of former U.S. presidents. Butler's work was included in the 2010 California Biennial at the Orange County Museum, Newport Beach, CA. He is represented by Silverman Gallery in San Francisco, CA.
Sarah Cain received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2001 and her MFA from the University of California Berkeley in 2006; she attended Skowhegan in 2006. Her work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum; the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA; KN Gallery, Chicago; and the Seiler + Mosseri-Marlio Gallery, Zurich. Cain received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2007 and a SECA Art Award in 2006. She is represented by Anthony Meier Fine Arts, San Francisco and Honor Fraser Gallery, Los Angeles.
Also check out last weeks show with Lisa Anne Auerbach and Michael Parker/a> if you didn't catch it, they have a great conversation on torn porn and being one's own bumper sticker to the Shakers and how artists can make change in the work. Airport parking lots, who ever thought so many interesting conversations were going on at them?

Reversing A Low White Blood Cell Count

Back in October of 2012 I had blood work done.
White blood cell count was 3.3 and the range is 4.5-11.0
Platelet count was 105 and the range is 150-400
Lymphocytes was 40 and the range is 25-45
MPV was 12 and the range is 7.4-10.4
Neutrophil was 48 and the range is 40-70
I was aghast! The doctor recommended that I drink warm water first thing in the morning, and eat a small bag of nuts on the ride into work. Four weeks into this I wasn't feeling like that was going to do it, so I researched and started using Young Living products.
I used Sulferzyme, 4-6 capsules twice a day. Also, because of ligament concerns and discomfort I took BLM as directed. I made an elixir of colloidal silver, Mineral Essence (2 droppers) and 10 drops of lemon oil. I am tackling a mucus issue and added several drops of cypress, grapefruit, orange. I did this for four weeks. Then, on January 4th, 2013, I had the blood work done again with the following results:
White blood cell count was 9.7 and the range is 4.5-11.0
Platelet count was 236 and the range is 150-400
Lymphocytes was 29 and the range is 25-45
MPV was 9 and the range is 7.4-10.4
Neutrophil was 61 and the range is 40-70
ASTOUNDING!!! What has stumped me most is that my doctor never inquired as to how I obtained those results. I do have the physical (on paper) test results if anyone requires further evidence.

Nelson waiting for a decision
When we walked into the clubhouse just now, Joe Nelson was one of the handful of players still there.
In brutally honest terms, he talked about waiting to find out whether he would make the team.
"It's not the first time I've been in a spot like this," the 35-year-old righthander said. "It's not ideal but most of my career hasn't really been ideal. If they made it too easy than no one would appreciate it. It's out of my hands. I had a good spring."
Nelson has been in pro ball since 1996 in assorted organization and knows how the process works. It's not necessarily about who's pitching well at the time, it's about how somebody fits on the roster, whether they have outs in their contract and how the decision impacts other players.
Nelson is pitching well right now but has only 149 games of big-league experience. Scott Schoeneweis has been a little up and down but has 562 games under his belt and six more in the playoffs. If the Sox take Nelson now, Schoeneweis could walk on April 15. Nelson's out isn't until June.
"Sometimes I wish I were a dumb player instead of somebody who understood things," Nelson said. "Then you can just be mad at somebody. But I don't have any reason to be. I understand it's for the long haul."

Syrian and other people suffering from poverty...
To those who have a shelter, food and water- be grateful. I personally seen so many people suffering from poverty and it saddens me that they go through days, months and years without a proper meal. And they would do anything to actually have a plate full of food for once. I also have contact with Syrian people who in this dreadful crisis, have lost so much. Children are left without parents and are dying of hunger. Its actually really sad when you see people suffer in front of your eyes, and you're simply left feeling guilty. Not because you have everything but simply because you cannot help 'every single individual' suffering on your own. I think people suffering in poverty is a topic that touches me the most. Its horrible.
Please enter between 0 and 2000 characters.
I have noticed relevant news on Syrian civil war for a while . I seem not to find any progress was made over several months in negotiation among several main authorities and UN cannot give any evident solution to this poor country . I believe it it hard to help them by personal effort . NGO might be a feasible alternative to those refugees . I do not know how to help them indeed . If there is opportunity , I would be glad to be a volunteer to help those refugees .

Got this as a GWP, and it's... okay. It doesn't really foam up as advertised; it's like cold cream in consistency. God love Clinique, they do know how to market these things. This stuff is supposed to be a makeup remover only, I guess, since the package instructs you to use the 3-step system afterwards (which includes soap). And no wonder-- this cleanser leaves a tight, dry film even on my oily skin; I felt the need to cleanse it again just to get rid of that weird feeling (if you've ever let Noxzema dry on your skin, it feels just like that). It didn't even remove all of my non-waterproof mascara.

I didn't like this and have not exactly purchased one. I used a sample from a GWP. It felt like it left a film on my face and made it extremely tight. Would never purchase. Alos, it didn't take off all of my amkeup like the Wash-Away Gel cleanser does.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Grey
My skin normally does not even require a moisturizer, but with this stuff.... yikes. It certainly does the job of removing makeup, but it strips your face like no other. I used it yesterday in a pinch, and today my face is still so dry and tight that it's uncomfortable to make facial expressions. Yuck! That can't be good for your skin.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is one of the best makeup removers on the market. The pearly pink cleanser foams up into a luxuriously creamy lather and easily washes away even the heaviest of makeup. I took away a lippie because it can dry skin out just a bit; plus, it stings like crazy if you accidentally get some in your eyes.
This cleanser is recommended for normal to dry skin types and is supposed to be used before Clinique's 3-Step system to remove makeup. I used this cleanser about 12 years ago and then swtiched to the Wash Away Gel cleanser, which is recommended for oilier skin types. I recently received a deluxe sample of the Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser in a GWP and rediscovered how effective the product is at removing makeup. I have extremely oily skin and this products works perfectly for me.
At $17.50 a tube, it's a little more expensive than some cleansers on the market but not outrageously expensive.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I've bought this 3 times already and love it. I use it everyday regardless if I have makeup on or not as it cleans my face really well and has managed to clear my complexion. I still use to get pimples off and on with other cleansers, but with this one, I rarely break out. Remember to only use a small amount because a little goes a long way.
UPDATE 2/28/09-->Unfortunately after using this product for a year, my face has become really dry feeling tight every morning, even with the usage of a moisturizer for dry skin. It took me this long to finally realize this was the culprit so now I've been using Cetaphil and my skin doesn't feel tight anymore which is wonderful. Plus it also takes off my makeup and doesn't sting my eyes like this cleaner does.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is a wonderfully textured, super foamy cleanser. Unfortunately, it's a bit too drying for my skin, which makes me sad because it's sorta fun to use. I can use it every once in a while, but regularly and my skin rebels. Makes a phenomenal shaving cream, though!!! Especially if you add a bit to a pouf in the shower - suds everywhere.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I really like this wash so far. I have used it for a few weeks as a make-up remover before I wash my face with a mild cleanser (neutrogena). I didn't realize how much make-up I was not getting off my face. I haven't broken out from this either, in fact, I think my skin is clearing up because I am not going to bed with left-over make-up on my face. I definitely plan on sticking with this cleanser.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have N/C skin and this product left it too tight, it didn't remove all my mascara and make up either. It foams well but that is the only thing - at least for me. I did not want to throw it away so I gave it to my boyfriend to try - and - he loves it! He uses it every day to clean his face in the morning so I guess - although I would not buy it for me again - I would buy it for him.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Oily, Tan, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
best foaming cleanser I have seen in a long time. It left my skin squeaky clean and definitely not tight. I got this in a gwp.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is very good for taking off your makeup. I love this makeup remover. It does not sting my eyes at all and it rinses off very easy. I have never had a break out with this either.

I've been wearing the same jacket for 4 years straight so I finally ventured out and found this one to replace it. I'm 5'8" 140lbs athletic build and bought a Medium... I usually go with small because jackets run big but this one is perfect as a Medium and isn't bulky and can fit layers under it comfortably. It's true to color, true to size. I love it!

Mental health technicians are a vital part of the mental health care system, specializing in providing direct assistance to patients in a wide variety of ways. They assist patients with various tasks such as bathing, grooming, and feeding, as well as organizing activities and therapy sessions. Mental health technicians also observe patients, helping ensure that a calm setting is maintained and to gain insight into treatment options. They may also be tasked with duties such as administering medication, janitorial work, answering phones, and keeping records. Mental health technicians are generally supervised by nurses.Read More...
Applicants for mental health technician positions should be familiar with the mental health care environment and demonstrate a desire to help people. Mental health technicians should be able to work in a fast-paced environment, and they should be observant individuals who communicate well. The work is often physically demanding, and it generally involves eight- to 12-hour shifts constantly on the move, performing tasks. As with many jobs in the medical field, shifts can be long and irregular.
Mental health technicians often achieve certification, hold an associate's degree in mental health technology, or become certified nursing assistants. It is common for mental health technicians to start out as psychiatric aides. Experience in the mental health field strengthens employment prospects.

For Mental Health Technicians, progressing to a Physician Assistant role may result in a significant raise. On average, a Physician Assistant can earn $82K annually. Mental Health Technicians most often move into positions as Registered Nurses or Mental Health Counselors; those groups report median salaries that are $29K higher and $12K higher, respectively.
Mental Health Technicians usually report a few specific skills. Most notably, facility with Patient Counseling, Counseling, and Patient Education are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 27 percent, 4 percent, and 3 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Group Therapy. Patient Education is a skill commonly found among those who know Counseling.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Mental Health Technicians do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Those who have worked for fewer than five years take home a median salary of $25K, and workers with five to 10 years of experience earn a higher $28K on average. Mental Health Technicians see a median salary of $29K after reaching one to two decades on the job. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Mental Health Technician with more than 20 years of experience can earn $33K on average.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) -- Intelligence officials say suspected US missiles have hit two houses in northwest Pakistan, killing 27 people.
Two suspected missiles hit a house in North Waziristan on Friday, killing 20 people, the officials said.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
A second house in northwest Pakistan was hit late Friday, killing seven including suspected foreign militants. That strike took place in Kari Kot in South Waziristan.

On the admin Stats page under the Top Posts section it displays the title and number of views of your top posts.
However, the link of each post listed uses the wrong permalink. On my blog I use the ID# format (i.e. blog/?p=123). But the links in Stats is the date/title format (i.e. blog/04-05-2012/post-title). Consequently, when I click on the link it returns a "Not Found" page.
I would like the Top Posts to be listed by title, but the links be the ID#. That's the way it used to be. I'm not sure when this changed.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Bicurious male. Update: Solved my curiosity and loved it. BI-MMFF is my ultimate fantasy. Always looking for a little fun. I love to chat. Chat me up!I have such a diverse range of desires. No pain, restraint, potty or animals, but open to pretty much everything else. Don't understand the dom/sub thing. I think everyone should do whatever makes them feel good. Tell me what turns you on and I will do it!The pictures in my Image Gallery are the things that turn me on.

There are many variables to your question.1 - Mac or PC?2 - Image for upload or existing web link?3 - Do you need to resize an existing image or are you looking to crop it?Answers to these will help me give you some ideas.
I wear a suit and tie every day. Half Windsor always with an indent in the tie just below the knot. Ties are becoming a lost art. They look classy if worn correctly. I hate to see those who are forced to wear them, it shows in the way they tie them and they way they wear them. Make it look good!
Beauty in the eye of the beholder. I love the shape of a woman. https://36.media.tumblr.com/c6dd44ee5986e430baaea8063457e13b/tumblr_nkw0zqeAMz1upet5so1_250.jpg

Be sure to read Parts 1 & 2 before you read this. Stacey and her mom Julie had a great weekend. I did not. However, it is always good as a boyfriend in a growing relationship to make sure your girlfriend is happy. It's equally important to make sure her mom is happy!

As told in Part 1, Stacey was the perfect girlfriend. Beautiful, sexy, the most amazing body and an amazing sex drive. Even though I only got to see her once a month, we made up for our time apart by fucking each other's brains out in the short weekend we had together. We didn't bother with clothes unless we went out to a movie or to grab something to eat. We couldn't get enough of each other. ...

Once a month, I drove eight hours one way to see my girlfriend who is in college. Stacey was beautiful. Worth every mile. She was about 5'6, natural brunette long hair and bright blue eyes with a smile to die for surrounded by the cutest little dimples. Those lips. Oh my, they were amazing and when we kissed it was everything I had to not just hold her lips to mine forever. She was...

text: hi I just received this in the mail. Broke my heart to find it like this. It's a steel frame and haven't tried the headset or anything yet. Might return, but they don't have any more in stock so will have to re-order something else. Can this be bent back or fixed, any other ideas?
