That Hideous Weakness
Nate Wilson kicked off our friendship with a bang. When he came to his first Hutchmoot the first thing he did was hand me a first edition of Till We Have Faces, which is possibly (depending on the weather) my favorite C. S. Lewis book. He didn't know it was my favorite, which made it an even sweeter gift. Last year I headed up to Moscow, Idaho, to teach at a workshop at New St. Andrews and Nate gave me yet another most excellent gift: a first edition of That Hideous Strength, the final book of the Space Trilogy. I had only read the first two (thanks to Kevan Chandler), and couldn't really imagine book three outshining the sweep and wildness of Perelandra.
One thing is clear: opinions abound about That Hideous Strength. I know of no other Lewis book that polarizes like this one. I've talked to quite a few people who never finished it, others who finished it but didn't like it, and still others (like Nate) who claim that it's Lewis's finest work. Well, I just finished it. And while the book as a whole may not have blown my mind like Faces, and while it took me longer to read than any other Lewis book, its effect on me was undeniable for a number of reasons.
There's a word that's given me a lot of trouble in the last few years. A word that we tout a lot around here. It's a word that's easy to use and hard to embody, a word that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and a word that, thanks to Dr. Steve Guthrie, I'm just now beginning to realize represents a great deal of power. That word is chartreuse. I dare you to say it without shuddering at its import!
But seriously: the word is community. I've called the Rabbit Room "an experiment in community," and at Hutchmoot we talk about carrying whatever light we encounter back into our communities. I've lauded the way the community of Christians here in Nashville has shaped my life and work and ministry. The Local Show is (hopefully) a way to plant community seeds. Community, community, community.
High and Lonesome Hymns
Every year I spend about six months wondering who in the world will fill the shoes of the previous year's special guest on the Behold the Lamb of God tour. I used to stress about it for six months, but it always works out so now I just wonder. We've been blessed not only with the crazy talent of the yearly band and artists, but since this thing started we've been joined by some amazing special guests—and most of them ended up on the tour due to some pretty random occurrences. Either I bumped into someone around town or sent them a text or they came to mind while I was jogging. My son Aedan is responsible for Thad Cockrell being on the tour this year. Here's how it went down.
Carly, the songleader at the 12 South congregation of Midtown Fellowship, does a fantastically understated job of choosing songs and leading the music. There for a while we sang a few old hymns and gospel songs that I was surprised I'd never heard. The first was called "Oh To Be Loved," a slow and simple waltz that was comforting and sad at the same time: "He knows the names of my sorrows / he knows the names of my fears / Why should I let them bother me? / For I know he is near." Simple, direct, and the melody suits it perfectly.
After All These Years: Preorder now!
On November 10th (in a mere three weeks!) my newest album, After All These Years: A Collection, will be released into the wild, so we're commencing with preorders.What is this collection, you ask? It's a total of eighteen songs spanning the last fifteen years or so of music—and that track list includes four (FOUR!) new ones and eight (EIGHT!) brand-spanking-new recordings of older songs (SONGS!). The new recordings of old songs were made in two days with some great friends and great musicians who I've had the honor of working with over the years: Ben Shive, Andy Gullahorn, Ken Lewis, Matt Pierson, Joe Causey, and Jill Phillips. Re-recording those old songs was strange and wonderful, especially since we reimagined some of them, which sort of gave them some new clothes to wear—clothes that fit better now than they did fifteen years ago. I can't wait for you to hear them.
Here's the quick highlight reel of the new songs:
"After All These Years" was written right after my 40th birthday this year, as a deliberate exercise in gratitude. It felt appropriate to write a song that would be a sort of Ebenezer stone in the wilderness—a song of thanksgiving to God for his abiding love over the last four decades, and one that I would have to sing every night for the next few years. A lot has changed in my life in a short amount of time, and I'm prone to some boneheaded grumbling these days. This song (and this record, for that matter) is my way of stacking stones, a cairn on the hilltop that I'll be able to see from the valley floor in the days and years to come.
"To All the Poets" was co-written with Gloria Gaither, and is an ode to the many poets, songwriters, and storytellers who have carried the fire and given us all words to pray when we had none of our own. (I'm looking at you, Rich Mullins and C. S. Lewis.)
"Romans 11 (Doxology)" was written right after we recorded Love & Thunder, but it never made it to an official album. I included the demo of it on Appendix A and then forgot about it, more or less. Then I met a guy named Charlie, a song leader from Michigan, who told me that he had been using it for years as the closing doxology at the retreat center where he works. When I sang it at the show that night I was overwhelmed by the sound of the congregation singing it back to me and decided to include it on this collection. Thanks, Charlie.
"Everybody's Got a Song" was finished backstage at the Ryman Auditorium right before the Behold the Lamb of God show in 2012. It's a love song to Nashville, my family and friends here, and to the coming Kingdom. This one features Nate Dugger on lap steel and the great Stuart Duncan on fiddle.
This link will whoosh you to the Rabbit Room Store, where you will not only be able to preview the tracks, you'll be presented with three (THREE!) irresistible offers. 1) Preorder the download of all 20 songs for a mere $10. 2) Preorder the disc (which would only fit 18 of the songs). 3) Preorder the download of all 20 songs AND the physical copy (which includes a pretty extensive booklet featuring an essay by Mark Geil). All three of these options helps me pay the mortgage, so we Petersons give you a hearty thanks.
I hope these songs are a blessing to you and yours.
Hutchmoot 2014: Re-entry
The fifth annual Hutchmoot has come to an end.
It's hard to compare one Hutchmoot to another because each one has had such a different flavor, but this year was one of my favorite of the bunch. From Luci Shaw's keynote (not to mention her presence with us all weekend) to Jill Phillips's concert to the Local Show to session after session that I wish I had been able to attend, we were overwhelmed by good stories, good music, good food, and time to think deeply about beauty, calling, obedience, and the Kingdom.
Now comes the tricky part. Now comes the daily grind, the reintegration into our vocations, our churches, our families, the long work of building the Kingdom brick by brick, book by book, meal by meal, day by day. I want to offer a resounding THANK YOU to all the volunteers, session leaders, kitchen masters, trash haulers, painters, organizers, and encouragers who gave so much of themselves this weekend, and to give each of you a chance to sound off on the impact of the weekend.
What were your favorite parts? What did God teach you? In the words of Stephen Trafton at the end of Encountering Colossians, "You know you have been changed. How?"

Coming to North Wind Manor: The Gandalf of Nashville
He has a magnificent beard. He seems both old and young. He's wise. I'm pretty sure he has a walking stick. He's always traveling from here to there, there to here, appearing when you least expect him. He's a teacher and a student. He's an author, a singer/songwriter and a banjo player, he's a carpenter, a hobby astronomer, and a hunter.
I'm pretty sure there's only one person on Earth who meets all the above criteria, and his name is Michael Card. I first met Mike at an artist's retreat hosted by a ministry in Knoxville, and, knowing his name for years and years as "the guy who wrote 'El Shaddai'," I was surprised that he didn't play us a single song the whole weekend. He seemed perfectly content—eager, even—simply to teach and to talk about the Bible without throwing a guitar into the mix. Truly, his teaching was so stimulating I didn't miss the music by the end, either. Since I didn't grow up paying any attention to Christian music it was a long time before I heard songs like, "Come to the Table" and "Immanuel," and when I finally did it was live, in a church jammed with people singing at the top of their lungs. Goosebumps, I tell you.
A few years ago I was in dire need of a mentor. I needed someone older and wiser, a Christian to whom I could stay accountable, someone to encourage me to read my Bible, to guide me in some kind of formal relationship. Late one night I emailed Mike and, with fear and trembling, asked him to be that mentor. He emailed back the next day saying, in effect, "No." He went on to explain that he wasn't interested in a mentoring relationship. "What I need is friends," he told me. "We can get together and hang out, but not just to talk about spiritual stuff. Let's just be friends. And in this town, the only time you really get to hang out with your friends is on the road, so why don't you open for me for a few shows?"
I was disappointed at first (about the mentor thing, not the shows), but several years later it turns out Mike was right. I asked for a mentor and ended up with a friend—a good friend, which is a much better thing. My disappointment was a sign of my immaturity. It was as if I had emailed someone and asked if I could pitch a tent in their backyard, and they said, "Sure, you can stay. But you're not sleeping outside—you're going to be in the guest cottage." Mike's friendship, I believe, has yielded far more encouragement and edification than an accountability partner ever would have.
Several more Mike Card stories come to mind—like the time he shared the stage with Frederick Buechner and Walter Brugemann, or the time we were watching the History Channel and he read a snippet of Isaiah from a scroll they flashed on the screen, or the time he showed me his new rifle with a laser sight, or the time he asked if he could record "The Silence of God" after he had already done it. I'm so grateful to call this man my friend.
AND I'm grateful that he's coming to North Wind Manor in two weeks to talk about his new book. Mike has written about a zillion books, but his latest four are commentaries on the Gospels, part of the Biblical Imagination Series. Think about that for a second. Can you imagine writing not one but four commentaries? On the Gospels? Most of us would feel like we had just run four Iron Man races. So congratulations, Mr. Card, and we thank you for bringing your musical/poetic gifting to bear on the Scriptures so the rest of us can see it afresh. On August 29th, at 7:00, the Gandalf of Nashville will be teaching from the Gospel of John, and I hope you'll join us. Trust me, there's nothing quite like seeing Mike turn into a little kid while he talks about Jesus.
Admission to the event is totally free, though we do ask that everyone bring a snack item to share (drinks are on us). Space is limited, so if you intend to come, it's very important that you RSVP via an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. There are only 30 seats available. RSVP quickly if you want to secure a spot. We'll include the address to the Manor when we respond to your RSVP.

Breath for the Bones: The Wisdom of Luci Shaw
Madeline L'Engle's Walking on Water was the first book I ever read that explored the role of the Christian in the arts. For me, it was a game changer. Not only did it rearrange my thinking about what I felt called to, it affirmed and distilled many of my beliefs (and opinions) about the way Christians should approach their work—not just art, but any work.
After Walking on Water I discovered more and more books about the creative life—a much richer subject than all those how-to-write books I was reading. The former is a healthy and helpful exploration of a corner of God's kingdom (the process of subcreation), about the great mystery of the creative act and its implications for a Christian—the why of art. The other sort of books, the How to Write a Novel in Five Easy Steps sort, may be helpful to a point, but spending too much time there is getting the cart before the horse. Why books are all about the horse; How books are about the cart. You can fill your brain with practical advice, but that's akin to loading a horseless cart with cargo. You'll just sit there. (Good grief, I've gone this far, so I might as well exhaust the metaphor.) Reading L'Engle's book was like strapping a galloping Clydesdale to my little wagon. Along the way, many of those parcels of advice rattled loose, or I cast them off once I realized their lack of usefulness, but the horse? It's still moving.
Digging Tunnels
I'm writing from the bench at the bend in the trail. When we moved to the Warren these woods were a claustrophobic tangle of thorn, privet, and bush honeysuckle (don't be fooled by the name–bush honeysuckle is a bane). Jamie and the kids and I crouched our way under the brushy eaves, lopping branches here and there, looking for good trees, marveling at huge slabs of limestone and granite peeking out of the soil, wondering how all those old beer bottles ended up under the humus so far from the house. Eventually we cut a series of trails, the path guided by the shape of the land and the fattest trees we could find–mostly cedar and hackberry, but along the way we happily discovered a couple of young sugar maples, a beast of a shumard oak, as well as the Goliath of our woods–a massive tree that neither of the two experts I've brought out here could identify. "It looks like a white walnut," one of them said, "but if it is, that's the biggest one in Tennessee."
Release Day: THE WARDEN AND THE WOLF KING
The day is finally here. After years of work by a lot of different people (I'm looking at you, Pete, Kris, Christie, Carrie, Jessica, Joe, and all you Kickstarters), we're about to set The Warden and the Wolf King loose. Some of you have already read it. (Thank you!) Others of you may be sick of us promoting it. (Sorry!) But with this many people and this much work involved, it would be silly to not try and give these books the best possible shot at making it into the hands of the masses. I have long believed that Story (with a capital "s") is the language God wired our hearts to speak, and my hope is that this story is one that will speak to your heart, no matter what you may believe.
So, if you're a fan of the Wingfeather Saga and you're willing to help, here's what you can do:
1) Come to Parnassus Books, 3900 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215 at 6:30 tonight for the release party! We'll have a book signing, a costume party, snacks (bibes!), and Skye and I will be singing a Wingfeather song.
2) Tweet about the books. You can link to either Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or here at the Rabbit Room Store.
3) If you blog, please write a review about book four–or about the series as a whole.
4) If you're J. J. Abrams, please consider making a film.
Avast! A Release Party
Friends, Skreeans, and Hollowsfolk!
The official release of The Warden and the Wolf King is in three weeks, and we're throwing a costume party. On July 22nd at 6:30 PM, at Parnassus Books (one of the best bookstores in Nashville), we're ushering into the world the conclusion of the Wingfeather Saga, and we're pulling out all the stops. We're loosing the thwaps. We're—we're—herding the toothies! In true Hollish style we're having a rowdy time, and I'd love for you to come.
Why would you want to come to such an event, you wonder?
1) Because you'll be able to try honeymuffins and sugarberry buns (and maybe some maggotloaf?).
2) You'll be able to sip Hollish bibes of many fruity flavors.
3) You may want to to quote Oskar N. Reteep's favorite books to one another.
4) There will be a COSTUME CONTEST—the winners of which will receive mind-blowing prizes. (One prize for each age group.)
5) My daughter Skye (the inspiration for Leeli Wingfeather) will be on hand to sing "My Love Has Gone Across the Sea" (from The Monster in the Hollows) with me like the Song Maiden that she is.
6) I'll read from the new book and answer as many questions as I can.
7) Aedan and Asher Peterson will be there to autograph copies of Pembrick's Creaturepedia, to which they both contributed vast amounts of talent.
I hope you can come celebrate with us. Beware the toothy cows.
WHAT: Wingfeather Saga Book Release Party
WHEN: July 22nd at 6:30 PM.
WHERE: Parnassus Books, 3900 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215 (615) 953-2243

Poll: What Songs Should Be on AP's Best-of Record?
Hello, Rabbit Roomers. We're narrowing down the list of songs to include on the "best-of" record releasing later this fall (as opposed to a "greatest hits" record, which would be very short, indeed), and I'd love to know which songs you think should be included. This is tricky because I'm torn between making sure the album is listenable (i.e., it can't be all slow songs) and trying to choose songs that might have the deepest impact for new listeners. If you could take a few minutes and let me know a couple of your favorites from each my albums (not including Behold the Lamb), I'd appreciate it. If you aren't familiar with the record, just skip the question. Thanks!
Click here to take the quick poll. You can leave comments here, but the poll is the easiest way for me to keep track. Gracias.
Let There Be Animation
This is a moving example of what Tolkien called "sub-creation"—in essence, using your gift to speak light into the darkness. This, by the way, is hand-drawn animation. Thank you, Glen Keane, for making something beautiful. (And thank you, Brannon McAllister, for the link.)
And if you want to dig a little deeper into just how much work, thought, and attention went into the short film, watch this and be inspired.
Toad the Wet Sprocket: An Appreciation
The year was 1992. George H. W. Bush was the president. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Metallica, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi were some of the biggest bands in the world. Wayne's World was cracking teenagers up and Home Improvement was making their parents chortle. I had just graduated from high school in the little town of Lake Butler, Florida, had cut off my mullet a few months before, and was steeped in hair metal and southern rock–not to mention all the bands mentioned above. I had recently discovered Marc Cohn's songwriting, and it would be another year or so before I happened upon Rich Mullins, but at the time my guilty pleasures were still bands like Slaughter and Steelheart and Stryper. Then one night while watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, I saw this:
"Wait–is that a mandolin?" I thought. "And is he barefoot? And is he not trying to sing as high as possible? And none of those dudes have long hair. What could it mean?" Mixed in with all those thoughts was the dim awareness that "Walk On the Ocean" was a good, good song. It was evocative and utterly unique in my experience. Not only that, it told a kind of story ("somebody told me that this is the place where everything's better and everything's safe" "half an hour later we packed up our things"). But the band was called Toad the Wet Sprocket! I would have assumed this music would be super-weird and/or eclectic, a la They Might Be Giants, but this–this was different. The internet wasn't around yet so I had no way of learning that the guys had jokingly named the band in high school after a Monty Python sketch. (The name stuck and the Brits let them keep it.)
North Wind Manor
The Rabbit Room has surprised me once again.
One of the questions I've gotten quite a bit about writing (and one I've also asked many times) is whether or not it's a good idea to have an outline for the story. Every writer is different, but my answer is that yes, it's good to sit down early on and map out—in the vaguest terms—the outline of the story. However, that outline is only a tool to get you started. Once the real writing starts, the story will suggest itself to you, and if you're determined to adhere to the outline at all costs, it just might cost you the story. The story, you'll discover sooner than later, wants to be something, and there's a good chance that that something is better than your outline. In the words of that one .38 Special song "Hold On Loosely," uh, "Hold on loosely, and don't let go. If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control."
The best thing about this philosophy of songwriting and/or storytelling is that you, the writer, get the blessing of surprise along the way, of serendipity and excitement. I honestly had no idea how The Warden and the Wolf King would end until I got about twenty pages from the last chapter. It's scary, but it's way more interesting. Writing can be a way to discover not just what will happen to your characters, but what's going on in your own heart, soul, and mind.
Well, the Rabbit Room—this mystifying corner of the internet, which encompasses Hutchmoot and Rabbit Room Press and used books and concerts and music and theater and conversations about Jesus—has been an act of discovery, too. We had no idea what a sweet fellowship of friends it would nurture, or that we would publish The Molehill, or spawn Dude Breakfast (our weekly Waffle House hang). We held on loosely, we didn't let go, and voila, Pete and I are here scratching our heads in delight at what God has done.
Process: Starting from Scratch
It occurred to me this morning that it might be helpful to think through one really annoying aspect of creative work, which is that every single time you sit down to make something, even if you've done this for years and know the routine, it feels like you're starting from scratch. It feels like you have absolutely nothing to offer, nothing new to say, and whatever you've managed to get right in the past was just a fluke, and you're not writing a song so much as reinventing the wheel. Or building the Space Shuttle out of matchsticks. While this is true in some ways, in others it isn't true at all. Here's what I mean.
It's true because the creative act is and will always be a mystery to which we are only allowed the access of clarity for fleeting moments if at all. For ninety nine percent of the time the process is frustrating and difficult and tiresome. This is to be expected. Good things take work, and in the end God isn't interested in the thing you're making half as much as the person he's making out of you. Work, pain, frustration, joy, patience: these are the tools God uses (along with many other things) to shape our souls. In this sense, then, the song is writing you. Every now and then, though, the veil is lifted and the subcreator gets to see the beautiful mechanism (wheels within wheels) at work behind the curtain, and the process of songwriting makes sudden and perfect sense. "So this is how you write a song," you think. Then, just as suddenly, the veil falls back into place, the glow is gone, and the world seems drab by comparison. Has this ever happened to you? It's tantalizing—just enough to make you want to pick up your guitar again in defiance of your fears.
But there's another truth at work: you're not starting from scratch.

I was getting a bit tired of abusing layer masks and the gradient tool as much as I have been of late, so figured I'd do something a bit closer to my normal style. :3 Request for , her adorable unicorn OC. Hope you like! <3
it is quite nicely done, though if she's a unicorn where is her horn?
It's hidden under her mane. ...That's not me being lazy, it was part of the character description. xD
Love, love, love, love, so much love....
*falls over*
Thank you so much for making this! I adore it!
*falls over*
Thank you so much for making this! I adore it!
Heee, no worries! I'm glad I got her right, she was a lot of fun!
By the way, I really love your OC design. How did you come up with it?
Thanks! She was developed from an older character, really. Usual stuff for OCs/personas, she just combines a few elements I like. For instance she's got magpie wings since those are my favourite animal. And the cutie mark is the same design as a tattoo I have.
I just found you not too long ago, and I just have to say that I adore your pony style! It's so cute and unique and awww! And the shading style here is absolutely wonderful!
Thanks a lot! Really means a lot to get such kind comments, definitely been trying to push my pony style a bit lately.
I just love those fireflies in the bottle :3

"Sweetberry's Goondiwindi Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Goondiwindi by Sweetberry1
Goondiwindi Travel Guide: 30 reviews and 69 photos
Goondiwindi is located 370 kilometers west of Brisbane, and is the border town between Queensland and New South Wales.
Settled in the 1840's by pastoralists, Goondiwindi emerged in the latter half of the 19th century as an important administrative and commercial centre.
Goondiwindi is named after the Aboriginal name for "Resting Place of the Birds". The town's major rural products include wheat, cotton, beef and wool. Cotton being the biggest of these, I would imagine.
Goondiwindi is situated on the McIntyre River... and on the junction of five major inland highways. The Barwon, Newell, Cunningham, Leichardt and Bruxner...
The Newell Highway, being the major route from Queensland to Victoria... and the Highway that I have travelled more times than I can remember. A drive of just over 2000 kilometers.
Approxiamtly 5,000 people reside in the town with a further 6,000 in the surrounding Waggamba Shire.
By the way, Goondiwindi is affectionately known as 'Gundy'... and is pronounced as Gundiwindi...
- Pros:A wonderful stop, when travelling long ditances...
- Cons:This place is way out, in the middle of the Outback...
- In a nutshell:Great as a stopover on the long runs..

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Nick MacRae enters his fourth season overall, and third as an assistant coach, at Long Beach State.
Last year, MacRae helped the Beach exceed expecations as they went 15-13 and advanced to their fourth-consecutive MPSF Tournament after being picked to finish 10th in the 12-team MPSF Preseason Poll. Two 49ers garnered All-MPSF honorable mention recognition, while Taylor Gregory was also a Volleyball Magazine third-team All-American.
In MacRae's first year as an assistant, Long Beach State went 18-10 and made an appearance in the quarterfinals of the MPSF Tournament. Five 49ers earned All-MPSF honors, while Taylor Crabb was a first-team All-America selection.
In 2013, MacRae served as the director of operations for LBSU men's volleyball and helped engineer the team's run to the MPSF Tournament finals. It was the 49ers' best season in five years as they finished with a 24-8 overall record.
Outside of the Beach, MacRae was a coach for the USA High Performance Championships in 2014 and 2015. He also coaches at various USA High Performance camps.
From 2012-13, MacRae served as the technical coordinator for the USA Men's Pan American Team. He helped the U.S. claim a gold medal in the Dominican Republic (2012), while the squad placed fifth at the 2013 Pan Am Games in Mexico City. In addition, he is the club director of Long Beach Volleyball Club.
MacRae was born and raised in Long Beach as he prepped at Wilson High School and went on to graduate from Long Beach State with a bachelor's degree in finance in 2012.

Lovely caravan, but the double mattress in the main bedroom, was like sleeping on rough wood! Needs replacing!

Lovely caravan, the beds however were the worst we have ever slept in as the mattresses were rock hard.

Our caravan was opposite the pool & clubhouse and whilst you get some noise it didn't bother us at all. It was very clean and well equipped. We loved that we had ducks surrounding us a lot of the time. The beds weren't the most comfortable but none are ever going to be like your own anyway!
Confirmed guest, 2015-08-08
Our caravan had everything we needed and was very clean on arrival. The park was also clean and tidy.
Will certainly be paying Lakeside Holiday Park another visit. Thank you for looking after us.
Confirmed guest, 2015-05-22
Very nice holiday park, friendly and helpful staff, great family entertainment - my 2 year old absolutely enjoyed the children's entertainment slots and the staff appeared to enjoy putting on the shows. Nice games arcade too.. and the pub snacks were really scrummy!
Big Tesco down the road so really convenient
Only let down is that there is no indoor swimming pool and the beds were rather hard for our liking
But altogether relaxing and enjoyable place and very clean too!
Would visit again !

Over the past few weeks, experts met to discuss the "Weight of the Nation" at a conference in Washington, and HBO ran a series by the same name. Why all the attention? Because national statistics show the rates for overweight and obesity among adults and children are simply too high.
As a mom and concerned citizen, I want not only the best for my son's future but for his generation, my generation and generations to come. I want to see everyone be active, healthy and smart about lifestyle choices.
If we are really honest with ourselves, we know that no one group or sector can solve this problem alone and searching for a silver bullet that miraculously stops obesity is just not realistic. Targeting scapegoats or pointing fingers is simply a waste of energy. Instead, we should apply our energy to solutions that have been shown to work.
I have been working on the frontline of this issue for nearly two decades, and I'm quite certain of a few things. First, our current situation reflects a combination of how we eat and the ever-increasing amount of time we spend not moving. Second, we need to look at this problem holistically with focus on our communities. And third, we need to work with, and across, all sectors to develop and execute workable, comprehensive solutions.
For many Americans, the environment that surrounds them is not conducive to achieving active healthy lifestyles. A recent study by Church et al. (2011) concluded that in the last 50 years there has been a progressive decrease in the percent of men and women employed in occupations requiring at least moderate intensity physical activity. The resulting drops in occupation-related daily energy expenditure "accounts for a large portion of the observed increase in mean U.S. weight over the last five decades." Too many Americans spend their days sitting at desks, working at computers and watching TV.
Get off the couch
The loss of physical education in our schools is both a travesty and a tragedy. Being "mesmerized with inactivity" is not good for our children's physical and mental health — not to mention their grades.
And when we talk about diet, telling people that they have to give up things they love usually fails. Directives such as "avoid," "eliminate," or "stop" don't change behaviors. Let's focus on the "how," "how much" and "how often" when giving the public dietary advice.
Coca-Cola clearly has a role to play in developing product solutions. Helping people manage their calories isn't a new idea to us. In 1963, we launched low-calorie Tab. And today, the total number of diet and light drink brands we sell in the United States is more than 150.
But it's not just about options — it's also about information. In 2009 we added calorie amounts on the front of nearly all of our packages to make it easier for people to choose beverages that are right for them.
What people eat and drink is only part of the weight management equation. As a society we must support programs that promote exercise. National leaders such as Michelle Obama set the right example, tapping celebrities like Beyoncé to remind children that activities such as dance can be just as entertaining as a video game. Recess and physical education must be maintained and increased in schools. These programs are critical to instilling an enjoyment of exercise that they will carry through the rest of their lives.
Having an active, healthy and happy population is at the heart of our collective best interest and is not an impossible goal.
Rather than continuing to advance ideologies that haven't worked, let's tap into our nation's brilliance and energy to build communities that encourage physical activity and support programs that motivate sensible, balanced eating and other healthy behaviors.

SANTA ROSA – Blood Centers of the Pacific last week officially opened its Santa Rosa location, replacing Blood Bank of the Redwoods after the two organizations merged.
The San Francisco-based Blood Centers purchased Blood Bank of the Redwood's 13,500 square-foot building on Bethards Drive on July 6 and began seeing donors on Aug. 1.
With the merger, Blood Centers added nine North Coast hospitals to its list of recipients, in Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counties, bringing its total to 51 hospitals in Northern California, according to Lisa Bloch, spokeswoman for Blood Centers of the Pacific.
A total of 48 employees with the former Santa Rosa blood bank lost their jobs, Ms. Bloch said; another 48 stayed on with the organization, now headed by Nora Hirschler, president and CEO of the nonprofit San Francisco blood bank, the largest in the Bay Area. The two blood banks operated as independent agencies until the due diligence was completed.
Cathy Bryan, CEO of the Santa Rosa blood bank, will stay on for a brief period to help with the transition, officials said.

Lots of things to like here, if you're fans of the adventures of Jeggare and Radovan. Not just a "fish out of water" tale for the pair from Avistan, I liked very much that each in his own way had to deal w/ an unexpected layer of adversity. By the end, I got a tangible sense that they had grown as characters. Especially Jeggare. In gaming terms, they've definitely gotten more EXP, and I hope that future tales about them reflect that.
I was a little unsure what to make of the 3rd main role--the wolfhound, Arnisant. I was afraid that was going to be the weak link for me. But it allowed the introduction to the kami spirits that had their own role to play in the storyline.
All in all, lots of fun. As another reviewer noted, though, I'm not sure the alternating 1st person perspective should be repeated for a 3rd novel (which I definitely hope to see).
Just read this on Friday, and Master of Devils yesterday. I'd been a huge fan of the short-story arcs in PF, but took my time getting around to the novels.
From a PF perspective, I enjoyed getting a good look at Ustalav, seen through the eyes of 2 interesting characters like Jeggare and Radovan. I like the nod to Sherlock Holmes & Watson in their dynamic, though of course it's a lot more involved than just that. Radovan's a great anti-hero; not too 2-dimensional like he could be. As for the Count, I find his pretensions quite amusing, and like how his worldview contrasts w/ Radovan's.
There were some minor editing issues (mostly missing words like "to", and "tenants" instead of "tenets), but luckily those decreased in the next novel. I wish the rating system allowed for 1/2 stars. I'd give this 3.5 stars (to allow for the fact I liked Master of Devils even more, which also gets 4 stars).
Look forward to reading more of their misadventures.

Foreword & 1st chapter [History, Lore and Culture]
Nice northern European feel to their history, freely mixing real world myths and legends (e.g., the Norse Volund the Smith, the Slavic Perun the Thunderer, and Wotan as the Old High German form of the Norse Odin) with names and areas freely created for the Zobeck setting.
What's new on this take is "The Free Dwarven Cantons of the Ironcrags". Imagine a fantasy Switzerland, with a touch perhaps of the Ravilla treatment (Free States of Mordengard, I think, from the Sundered Empire campaign)? This section covers 13 settled cantons (though text says 14), followed by "The Lost Halls"; all of which (save one) have nice shield emblems that remind me of the original Greyhawk map and the country emblems. There's then the "Northern Clans", which offers a more traditional take on dwarves. There's nice details on the interrelations between the various Cantons, outlying areas, the northern clans, and the dwarves of Zobeck. All in all, a very concise cultural view of these atypical dwarves, and very well-written (like the entire book, let's get that out of the way right now...).
2nd chapter [The Most Honorable and Righteous Fraternal Order of Illuminated Brothers]
Dwarven secret societies meets the Masons (meets the Illuminati?) ftw! Another excellent fluff piece, in the best sense of that word, but it also has some crunch to it w/ related prestige classes. My forte is not picking apart crunch to say this is "underpowered" or "overpowered"--I'll leave that to others--but the flavor is excellent and would work great for NPC's. There's even a trio of thematic magic items at the end.
3rd chapter [The Kariv: Clans, Magic, and Secrets]
I'll be honest; I wasn't expecting much out of this chapter if only b/c of my personal ambivalence towards gypsies. But! If ever you wanted a gypsy-like race in a fantasy setting, you could comfortably adopt this beautifully written chapter. You could also freely adopt the Hex-magic system, and I paid particularly close attention to this b/c I already have the framework for my own hex-based magic system written up, and I'm sure this chapter will help influence my final decisions. There's also some flavorful Kariv feats to round off the chapter.
I would have loved to have seen Greyhawk's Rhennee given the same loving treatment as this author's Kariv did. Kudos.
4th chapter [Dwarven Magic]
Not to keep talking about me, but this chapter also ties into ideas I've had: racial magic (i.e., spells exclusive to a race) and proper rune magic (and Monte Cook has given me plenty of ideas there). "Lithomancy" is a great term for this dwarven magic btw. After the spells, there are also magic items and "dwarven technology", along w/ setting-specific dwarven weapons. Even those crazy Derro get some love, w/ Derro equipment and some nasty "derro insanity tech".
5th chapter [Monsters]
Always a fun chapter in a fantasy treatise, we have: Cavelight Moss (fills a nice ecological, predator role); Crag Drake (nasty one-size-fits-all dragon w/ cool tactical abilities); the Darakhul (template; perhaps related to Wolfgang's Kingdom of the Ghouls, which sadly I will never own...that's a hint, folks ;-)); Derro Fetal Savants (good lord, who came up w/ these creepy little buggers?!); Dogmoles (including the Derro created Dogmole Juggernaut); Fellforged (creative use of a construct w/ a trapped undead spirit w/in); Gilded Devil (for all you Mammon lovers out there); and finally, the Goldveined and Stone-Dead Dwarf (2 more templates).
There's very good art w/in this book, and I can be very picky in that department. I think our very own Hugo Solis did most of the illustrations, and if you're a regular reader of Kobold Quarterly like myself, you'll appreciate how Wolfgang throws in classical art (e.g., Gustav Dore and Arthur Rackham).
This gets very high marks from me. Flavorful, w/ a nice bit of crunch thrown in there. My only knocks are very minor, involving some curious misspellings and typographical errors, but my guess is that most readers won't even notice them.
I just loved this book, and love Zogonia. I didn't have all the individual strips of this & Mt Zogon, so this was a no-brainer for me. I'm not sure why Zogonia stopped and Mt Zogon began in its place--b/c I much prefer the former--but this was often the ultimate D&D comic for me. Right up there w/ Fineous Fingers (back in the day!) and OOTS. Lots of serious, deep belly laughs from reading through this. I highly recommend it.

Hawaiian Electric proposes photovoltaic project
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Hawaiian Electric Co. wants sun power to replace fuel oil for producing electricity.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the utility is seeking approval to build Hawaii's largest solar photovoltaic energy project.
The 15-megawatt facility is planned for 50 acres of undeveloped land next to the utility's Kahe Generating Station.
Utility officials estimate the facility would displace 1.8 million gallons of fuel oil annually at the Kahe plant and save ratepayers $64 million in reduced fuel costs over 30 years.
The utility has picked SolarCity to build the project, which needs approval from the Public Utilities Commission.
The utility has previously asked the commission to waive competitive bidding requirements for renewable energy projects on Oahu of more than 5 megawatts.


text: I have downloaded many games with the help of uTorrent, that is the most famous torrent downloading application. I have found out most of the games are compressed that is in the form of RAR files. So, I think that it will be better if there was WinRAR integration in uTorrent. This would help to extract the files automatically when uTorrent is open. No need to start the WinRAR program explicitly. I guess that there is a need for expert help in this case.

Where is my gift card? That's the question many are asking, according to a study that estimates consumers lost $5 billion in misplaced or unused gift cards.
The ABA Education Foundation warns people to "Use it or Lose it" among its tips for the wise use of gift cards.
"Gift cards are on the top of everyone's list -- to give and receive -- with Americans spending $87 billion on them in 2009," explained Laura Fisher, ABA Education Foundation director. "Gift cards make great gifts but consumers should make sure they understand the terms for a rewarding gift exchange experience."
When buying gift cards, the ABA Education Foundation recommends:
- Only buying gift cards from reputable sources.
- Checking for an expiration date before you buy.
- Considering practicality, such as a grocery store or gas station card.
- Understanding the policies and fees before purchasing gift cards.
- For using gift cards, the foundation advises: Keeping them in a secure place to avoid misplacement.
- Spending them within the first year to receive the full value.
- Considering swapping unwanted cards at card-swapping and card-selling sites.
- Re-gifting cards unused or with minor balances to charities who distribute them to the needy.
The prepaid gift card provisions of the 2009 Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) will take effect Aug. 22. The provisions will prohibit inactivity fees for the first year and within 12 months following activity on the card. Funds credited to the gift card will remain for five years after they are added, even if the printed expiration date has passed.

Pepper Hamilton attorney William J. Walsh was quoted in the July 6, 2012 article, "Cleanup Experts Urge Federal Study of Long-Term Management Options" on InsideEpa.com. The article discusses a recent white paper written by Mr. Walsh and two other experts in hazardous waste cleanup proposing a potential method for more "sustainable" cleanups by forming one or more Long-Term-Management-Only Organizations (LTMOO) to assume responsibility and future legal liability for complex contaminated groundwater sites where it is not practical to attain groundwater cleanup goals within a reasonable period of time.

Magazine article American Libraries
Article excerpt

HBO targets baby audience? Puh-lease!
Children's Coalition to Parents: HBO's Classical Baby is a Classic Hoax WASHINGTON — May 10 — The Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) is warning parents to keep their infants and toddlers away from the upcoming HBO television special Classical Baby which will air on Saturday, May 14. According to HBO, the program is beneficial for infants and young children. Psychiatrist Alvin F. Poussaint of the Judge Baker Children's Center challenged HBO's claims about the show's benefits for babies: "There is no scientific evidence that demonstrates watching television is beneficial to infants. In fact, because of possible risks, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that childrenRead More →

River joy ride turns deadly for boy, 7,
A joy ride in Demerara River at West Watooka, Linden turned tragic on Sunday, leaving seven-year-old Leon Daniels dead.
The boy, who resided in Kwakwani had travelled to Linden for his little sister's birthday on Sunday, a cousin at the West Watooka home said.
The cousin told this newspaper that shortly before 2 pm, Daniels' half-brother, 17-year-old Brian Lewis, decided to give Daniels and a four-year-old a joy ride out in the river.
She said that their grandmother called them back because it was time for Daniels to prepare to return to his parents in Kwakwani. "As he was turning around de boat it turn ova," the cousin recalled.
The incident occurred some distance off shore and according to eyewitnesses, Lewis managed to pull the four-year-old. "But he search fuh Leon and he ain find he," the cousin said.
Several minutes passed then a neighbour decided to go into the river in search of the lad. "… And he find Leon trap between the boat engine and he pull he out," she said.
It was said that by then the police and other concerned persons were on the scene. Daniels appeared lifeless when he was pulled from the river and he was pronounced dead at the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC).
Prior to the seven-year-old being recovered from the river, his grandmother, in whose care he was at the time, collapsed and had to be rushed to the LHC where she remained up to press time.
Police said in a press release yesterday that Lewis, who they named as Daniels' uncle, had been arrested and was in police custody assisting with investigations.

in the Late Middle Ages
At the heart of the Protestant Reformation was the question of salvation, or how a sinner comes to be justified before God. It was for the Reformers, especially Martin Luther, to rediscover the gospel proclaimed by the New Testament church, that is, that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The early church proclaimed that salvation was a free and wholly unmerited gift of God's grace, whereby God attributes the righteousness of Christ to the individual who is inherently sinful on the basis of his faith in Christ, thus justifying that person in God's sight. This biblical tenet had become obscured by the medieval church's fusion of justification with sanctification. Originating as an event, an instant, when God proclaims the believer righteous on the basis of his faith in Christ, justification came to mean a process by which people attempt to earn their salvation by doing enough good works to offset their sins. Thus instead of salvation being a free gift of God's grace, it came to be laden with the oppressive burden of "works-righteousness."
The way of salvation as proclaimed by the early church is first presented in the gospels, and then spelled out by the Apostle Paul, especially in his letters to the Romans and the Galatians. There salvation is presented as an event, a onetime act of God's grace, whereby the sinner, having put his faith in the redemption of Jesus Christ's death on the cross, becomes righteous (i.e., justified) by God. This was the basic principle rediscovered by Luther in his study of the letters
