What Is the Will of God for My Life?
What does the Bible say about God's leading?
"The secret things" belong to God, not to us. "The secret things" are not our business because they are not our property; they are His. However, God has taken some of the secret plans of His mind and removed the secrecy, and such things do belong to us. He has taken the veil away. This... Continue Reading
Daddy Needs a Vacation
I crave quiet, low-key, relaxing days that allow me to lie still and read and pray and ponder
"My children may need a vacation, but I need it more. I work harder than they do. I have greater responsibilities. I carry more stress. I have accumulated a lot more mileage. This leaves me with a deep need for rest." I need a vacation. Over the years I've learned to identify the signs. I've... Continue Reading
Southern Honor and Evangelical History: An Interview with Robert Elder
Church discipline, however unevenly practiced, was an acknowledgement of an enslaved person's moral agency, something the Southern legal system didn't acknowledge
"Nobody had written a full-length study of it, but most recent histories agreed that early evangelicals challenged the South's honor culture, especially the violence, drinking, and rigid hierarchies or gender, race, and class that were integral to it." I recently had a chance to interview Robert Elder, assistant professor of history at Valparaiso University,... Continue Reading
Women Face The Draft After Lawmaker's Protest Amendment Backfires
The House of Representatives likely will take up the next National Defense Authorization Act and with it a controversial proposal to require women to register for the draft.
At a recent conference of conservative activists, retired Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin said historically, women have not been included in the draft for two reasons. First, they were ineligible for frontline combat positions. Secondly, "it runs counter to the values of America. It runs counter to our ethos, and that is that we don't... Continue Reading
Prophets, Prostitutes and Politicians
It is clear that we live in a shallow, confused and increasingly distorted society
"If one set of servants of God are not fulfilling their God appointed duty – what about the others? The church of Jesus Christ and especially those who profess to be leaders within it? Where have all the prophets gone? In the week that I read about all the above events I happened to be... Continue Reading
Why Married Sex Is Social Justice
It's not only a solid biblical model — it's also good for human flourishing
"What possible logic is there in criticizing something as appealing as extramarital sex? These are questions that teenagers want answers to. They will make sacrifices, but they need to know that the sacrifices make sense. Our rules and norms in local churches must be presented as rules and norms that will lead to our children's...

The First Church of Secularism and Its Sexual Sacraments
This new orthodoxy regards sexual acts as inviolable
"In the new dispensation, traditional restrictions and attitudes are viewed as judgmental, moralistic forms of socially sanctioned aggression, especially against women and sexual minorities. These victims of sexuality have become the new secular saints." Surveying some of the sweeping social changes out there — from the legalization of same-sex marriage last year, to the...

Christian Iraqi Population Shrinking With Persecution 'Worse Than Under Saddam Hussein'
Minorities in Iraq, including Christians, are facing a "catastrophic" reality
"The Christian population was as many as 1.4 million in Iraq back in 2003 during the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, but that number has dwindled since. In October 2015, Aid to the Church in Need said that only 300,000 Christians were left, but MRG says that number is now down further to somewhere between 50,000 to... Continue Reading
As Seemed Best to Them…
It is incumbent on us to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach to disciplining our children because each of our children are different.
While the Bible speaks both directly and indirectly to every aspect of parenting, it does not give us a detailed checklist that–if husbands and wives would simply consult in each and every interaction with their children–would guarantee a favorable outcome. On account of this, quite a number of parachurch ministries (e.g. NCFIC and the formerly influential Vision Forum) have, in... Continue Reading
Methodism's Prohibition Bishop & Lesbian Bishop
The United Methodist Church's Western Jurisdiction has defied church law regarding sexual ethics by electing as bishop an openly avowed lesbian married to another woman.
For many liberal United Methodists, LGBTQ affirmation is the primary justice cause of the day demanding church affirmation. Political social justice advocacy has been a theme of liberal Methodism and much of Mainline Protestantism since early in the 20th century, with a presumed univeralism/syncretism that doesn't prioritize evangelism or discipleship. Instead, the church's primary calling... Continue Reading
All Our Works Excluded
When it comes to being right with God – being declared righteous by God and accepted by him – all our works are completely excluded.
"The effective cause (causa efficiens) of justification is God, more accurately God the Father, and still more accurately His grace and righteousness. The meritorious cause is the obedience of Christ the Mediator (causa meritoria). The instrumental cause (causa instrumentalis) is faith worked in the heart through the Holy Spirit and then put into action. The... Continue Reading
From a Bloodthirsty Lion to a Blood-shedding Lamb
Faith neither fights nor flies but rather repents and casts all on the Savior's mercy.
This glimmer of comfort enables you to lift your eyes heavenward. And there you sense the root cause of all your troubles—the face of your God, justly angered by your backsliding and compromising. Eyes meet. Time stands still. Fight or flight? Or faith? I will go and return to my place till they acknowledge... Continue Reading
The Church of Jesus Christ: True Israel
The church of Israel in the Old Testament and the Israel of God in the New Testament is one body of the Lord Jesus Christ
Even if one has never heard the word "dispensationalism" or received formal teaching on the doctrines of dispensationalism, it has had a great influence on modern evangelicalism. So, many evangelical Christians read the Old Testament and (perhaps even subconsciously) dismiss portions of God's Word, thinking that they only apply to national Israel or those physically...

The State of California, the teaching of history, and the human condition
The action of the State of California may well be driven by the trendy politics of the day, but it represents a phenomenon of comprehensive social and political importance, not just the ascendancy of a particular political stance. The new curriculum represents the confusion that lies at the very heart of modern Western identity; it... Continue Reading
Putin Can't Stop the Gospel
Every once in a while, a leader, whether it be a judge, a king, or a Czar, tries to do the impossible and shut down the Gospel.
Putin, like Nero before him, arrogantly thinks that he can stop the Gospel. But when the Lord changes the heart of a man or woman and gives them a great love for the souls around them, it doesn't matter if you threaten them with fines, higher taxes, or even prison and the loss of life....

Of Conventions, Prayers, And Church
The Importance Of Distinguishing Sacred And Secular
Both the opening and closing of last night's events are a good argument for doing away with public, shared prayers in such, common, secular events. It's not that delegates to political conventions should not pray. They should. It's not that candidates should not pray. They should. It's not that voters should not pray. They should....

Racism, Prejudice, and Christ
When the eternal Son of God became flesh and dwelt among us, he crossed an infinite chasm—from the infinite to the finite, and from immortality to mortality.
There is a fine line between legitimate probability judgments and sinful prejudice. It is a real line. God sees it even when we don't. And my concern is to plead with you not to let the legitimacy of probability judgments function in your heart as a subtle self-justification for sinful prejudice. Probability and Prejudice...

10 Things You Should Know About Shame
Guilt's message: "I did something bad," and needs justification and forgiveness. Shame's message: "I am bad," and needs an identity shift and relational connection.
Relational disconnection is often rooted in shame. If I don't believe that I can be loved, I will find it impossible to be in authentic relationship with anyone. I will find ways to distance myself from others, or to protect myself from being truly known. My core belief is that if you really knew me,... Continue Reading
Denominational Diversity And Cultural Normativity
White Normativity is that set of unwritten cultural precepts that serve as a source of minority alienation in a majority culture—even in the Church.
Multicultural Normativity is when the Church confesses racial integration as the biblical norm— and the cross-cultural family of Christ as the way things ought to be. Multicultural Normativity means your congregations' worship and relationships and ministries are so defined by the presence of ethnic minorities—so built from the ground up on a racially integrated...

Recovering the Priority of Personal Holiness
In an age when the church is emulating the world, where it is no longer distinguishable from our pleasure-oriented culture, the example of John Owen shines like a beacon on a stormy night.
The Word of God is the means employed by the Holy Spirit to transform us into the image of Christ, so if preaching and evangelism are to be effective, private communion with God in His Word must be more important than discovering the latest ministry technique. "If the Word does not dwell with power... Continue Reading
For '90s Teens, Free Condoms Led To More Pregnancies
New study shows the pitfalls of condom distribution in high schools
"Access to condoms for the entire high-school-aged population in a county would lead to about five extra births per 1,000 teenage women, or a 10 percent increase relative to the mean," wrote Buckles and Hungerman. "Since the average program covered about one-third of the teenage women in the county, the typical program led to an... Continue Reading
How Skipping Church Affects Our Children
The church is losing its young people because the parents never taught their children that it was important.
Maybe the reason why our children have no love for Christ is due to the fact that we as parents do not show any love or passion for Christ, evidenced by how we prioritize our time both on Sundays and during the week. When television, sports, school, hobbies even family itself are elevated to a... Continue Reading
Five Things I Pray I Will Not Do As A Senior Adult In The Church
Five specific prayers seeking guidance to have a positive attitude about church involvement in ones senior years.
I pray I will not be more concerned about my preferences than serving others. I've already blown it on this one. I did not like the volume of the music in the service at my church a few weeks ago. I complained about it to my wife. And then I was reminded of all the... Continue Reading
An Acts 17:11 Woman!
What we really need are churches full of Acts 17:11 women. Berea had a bunch of them (Acts 17:12) and they were famous throughout the world.
I have four daughters who are like the daughters of Job. But my wife and I haven't taught them to be Proverbs 31 women or Titus 2:4-5 women, according to the current usage of those terms. They've never worn denim burkas. They've never been taught to leave the room when the men are talking. They... Continue Reading
Christian Conscience, Christian Institutions, and Behavior Based Antidiscrimination Doctrine
The severe legal threat to the free exercise of traditional Christianity continues to grow
Then is when faithful Christians must not compromise, but rather will have to become an underclass, or stated differently, internal exiles within American society. Those who do compromise are not only sinning through compromise, as noted in the Biblical and confessional passages, and therefore absolutely wrong, but also will likely come to accept sin as...

Being in Ministry Saved My Marriage
I worry that an endless litany of blame-the-ministry could cause faithful pastors and their wives to view the local church as their marriage's enemy rather than its best ally.
I can't count the number of times our church has publicly prayed for us and for our marriage. Sunday mornings from the pulpit. Wednesday nights in church prayer meeting. Tuesday mornings at Bible study. The people of God are regularly and specifically praying for us to have a loving, faithful, and happy marriage. These prayers... Continue Reading
Choose Your Love & Love Your Choice
Here are three steps we find in Joshua's famous charge to Israel to make a commitment to God
It is an awesome commitment of breathtaking simplicity. "You do what you do, but I will serve God. I don't care if my house is the only one in the world making this choice, we will serve the right God, the true God, the living God, come what may." And yet many Christians prefer to...

Indispensable Knowledge
God gave Israel more knowledge of Him than any other nation in the world.
Sadly, Israel's experiences are still being repeated in many nations which God has blessed with His knowledge. The knowledge of God has been rejected, and these societies are in the painful process of inevitable self-destruction. This truth-rejection, self-destruction, divine-rejection cycle can also be seen in many Christian churches, schools, and universities. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will... Continue Reading
Complementarian Issues of Nomenclature and Doctrine
I personally have some big differences with those who founded the conservative complementarian movement and would love for there to be a different word to identify non-egalitarians.
In conclusion, the nomenclature issue isn't really an issue in my opinion. But it does help to understand why so many more people resonate with the idea of complementary genders than with the specifics of complementarian application that the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood supports. But the reinterpretations of Scripture, in my opinion, are... Continue Reading
Who's Really Influenced by Their Cultural Situation?
A Deep Irony in the New Perspective on Paul
In sum, Matlock is arguing that NPP has (possibly) reinterpreted Paul in such a way that he seems to reflect the concerns of our modern cultural moment. Put bluntly, Paul, according to NPP advocates, sounds like a liberal protestant. He downplays personal sin and guilt, emphasizes social action, and does it all with a dab... Continue Reading

Rock Band Immortal
|5 Star every song in Rock Band 3 on Expert.
This will not be obtainable by everyone. You will need to get 5 stars on all 83 on disc songs on Expert difficulty to unlock this. If you can play well on every instrument this will be far easier. For example, Rainbow in the Dark is fairly challenging on Guitar but simple on keyboard. Antibodies is very difficult on Guitar and Bass but not too bad on Vocals. Good luck if you are trying to do this with only one instrument - it will take a lot of skill. You can check which songs you have left by going to the Career Goals section under Rock Band > Epic Rock Band 3 > Rock Band 3 Expert Master. If you are close on a song, you can turn on No Fail to try and get a more effective overdrive path.

You only have to 5 star every song on ANY instrument. Every song has to be 5 stared on expert, but it doesn't matter what instrument you did it on as long as it gets that way.
Say you sing a lot, and you 5 star every song on vocals exept for Bohemian Rhapsody. Just pick up your guitar and 5 star it on that and the achievement is yours.

keep getting around 4 and a half stars
its like it is teasing me... any idea of the cut off score i need to get 5 stars
i cant carry a tune in a bucket so cant do vocals, there is no keys, and im not even attempting drums! lol
im pretty good with guitar and have 5 starred harder songs but cant seem to do this
|Comment #15 by JamesMallow
Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 05:51:44 PM
@15 In the verses,there are 5 notes per strum(Including the chord),it's also
a good time for star power.And you should Alt-strum those notes,it makes it
easier and you're less likely to annoy your arm.In the solo it's mostly just
sliding up and down the neck.And in the chorus it's 4 notes sliding up the neck
but aren't hammer-ons.And it's easier when you play on your own,as if you play
with someone less skilled who misses unison bonuses(which you can get on your own)
it will stop you from getting star power so easily.

on vocal. No problem

Saturday, September 17, 2011 @ 02:44:08 PM
I usually start by playing on guitar because thats just what i play and if i cant get it with the guitar ill try it on bass if not bass if it supports keys then that and my last hope would have to be vocals. I not very good on drums. Try that sequence and you should get it in no time
|Comment #24 by Samurai Kadaj
Wednesday, November 30, 2011 @ 02:53:46 PM
The only song preventing me from getting this is Caught in a Mosh by Anthrax. The guitar part is absurd, bass part is almost as hard, drums is damn near impossible, no keyboard part at all, and I suck at vocals. My best bet is probably to keep practicing the bass part, but it's irritating to know only one song stands in my way. Oh, and Llama by Phish; do it on keys, for sure! Easiest instrument on that song, even if you're actually playing keys on guitar.

Anthrax go to vocals... Harmony not solo turn all microphone volume down and starting breathing or humming along you'll 100% get 5star! Tell me if you guys used this method
|Comment #28 by Samurai Kadaj
Wednesday, July 04, 2012 @ 12:40:51 PM
@28 Titanarm
I just watched a YouTube video of someone doing that. It looks like the strategy behind that is the first vocalist has all the melody parts (obviously) but the second and third vocalists have lots of talking parts, so if you botch up the melody by not being able to carry a tune, you can usually still save and get credit for the phrase by hitting the talking parts. Looks totally possible. I'[m going to try after I get out of work tonight.
|Comment #29 by Kahn13
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 @ 01:25:09 AM
@27 Thanks for the tip! Damn that song was annoying on Guitar (i'd often fall just short of 5 Stars on hard). The harmony method does indeed make it easier.
|Comment #30 by zachdawg17
Friday, January 25, 2013 @ 04:43:03 PM
Llama. I say get at least 95 percent on the solo, and to 5 star it, you need ~119,000. 5 starring caught in a mosh and 25 or 6 to 4 for me was SO LUCKY.
|Comment #31 by TheOneBlueNinja
Wednesday, February 06, 2013 @ 08:34:39 PM
Sigh...freaking Caught in a Mosh. It figures that one of the worst songs in the game would have to be played over and over again because it;s so damn hard. At least the vocal part is fairly easy.
Oh, and for those of you who are thinking you can just use bass on everything...Roundabout. That's all I have to say. F***ING ROUNDABOUT.
|Comment #32 by GolfPro72
Thursday, February 07, 2013 @ 05:11:29 AM
Three left. I'm going to do them on vocals I think, including Roundabout, because I want to be able to say I 5 starred something Jon Anderson sang on Expert. :P
Caught in a Mosh, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver and Llama are all freakishly easy on Vocals. Anyone having issues with those, do them that way. Beast and Harlot is another matter, but it's definitely easier on Vocals than the other instruments. Just a matter of learning the melody (which is terrible), but very doable.
|Comment #33 by SkullMan140
Saturday, October 12, 2013 @ 05:24:23 AM
i 5 starred Llama, Antibodies and Caught In a Mosh in bass without problems :), i still didn't try Roundabout but i hope its not very difficult for me :P

Man, such a b**ch to get this cheevo. Antibodies is hella annoying. Along with a few others. I did the Endless Setlist III, and got 53 of the songs done on Expert Bass including Beast and the Harlot.

Try not to look at gold and silver as being more valuable.
Far from it. Whats occuring is the LOSS of value in the US dollar.
The USDX and the broader dollar index tells the tale, while gold and silver provide the evidence, that the USD is no longer looked upon as a safe haven. More like a financially toxic pit!

FLORIDA: Jackson Jason Jennifer & Sylvia Go to the Everglades
|EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK: S and Baby J work on their Junior Ranger book.
|Almost certain you aren't supposed to ride the Florida panther statue, but I didn't have the heart to stop him.
|We were at the Anhinga Trail for 30 seconds before we met our first Florida alligator.
|Everglades scenery: the sea of grass
|Big gator, a foot or so off the trail.
|BISCAYNE BAY NATIONAL PARK: Most of the park is underwater so we took our time enjoying the visitors center.
|Junior Ranger!
|Even more junior Junior Ranger!
|We were honored that the park ranger let the boys help raise the American flag over the park after the rain cleared for the morning.
|In Homestead, Fla., we visited the grave of Elizabeth Weston Godwin Plummer, Jackson & Jason's great-great-great-great aunt.
|If you are ever visiting Florida, the Fruit & Spice Park is a terrific destination for kids. Highly recommended.
|The boys try out star fruit for the first time.
|The park shares a taste of the many exotic fruits that grow there. You can also pick up and eat anything you find on the ground.
|A multitude of bananas and plantains from around the world.
|Jackson uses his coconut.
|Jackson meets his first jackfruit.
|I was there too! Jackson took this photo of me.
|Apparently my great-aunt and uncle used to docent at Corkscrew Swamp. A wonderful walk if you're ever in the area.
|Jackson on the Corkscrew Swamp boardwalk.
|Airplant in flower.
|Corkscrew Swamp scenery.
|Corkscrew swamp gator.
|This is a bittern pulling a snake (black racer? garter?) off a reed and eating it for dinner.
|Kids and grandma on the boardwalk.
|We were watching a raccoon eat leftovers that had fallen below a birdfeeder.
|Jackson checks out a model of a manatee skeleton.
|There were 150+ manatees in the water the day of our visit to Lee County Manatee Park. The park canals are adjacent to a power plant outflow drain, and the manatees like the warm water in the winter when the Gulf of Mexico is cold.
|Those lumps in the water? Manatee sexy beasts.
|Jackson clowns around at BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PARK.
|Picnic after another visitor center and boardwalk.
|Jackson took this photo of the Big Cypress sky.
|Junior Rangers at their last swearing-in ceremony of the trip.
Sunday, September 20, 2015
LAPD Pacific Division Open House (and Pancake Breakfast)
|Station tour including the kit room where the officers are issued their gear.
|Memorial wall
|Roll call.
|Jackson's favorite part was seeing the guy in the drunk tank, but if they run out of spaces in the division jail they can always handcuff ya to the bench.

he Best Place To Buy Watches-watch Shop
The first thing to consider when buying a watch is to make sure what is its purpose of purchasing? Some people use watches for its primary purpose, to know what time is while others who use them for as personal adornment. Those are the people who are wealthy to splurge into luxury watches and make a boast of being spendthrift. There are some Replica watches on the market that are well-known by people all around the world for its extravagance but there are also others that are ordinary but still perform its best. These accessories can be found easily because there are limit to establishments that only sell watches of different brands. The best place where you should buy your watches is watch shops. Even if going to a watch shop is the safest way to buy a watch, there are some people who choose convenience over the assurance of getting a timepiece that is in its excellent shape. Unlike in online shops, visiting your good old watch store can be very beneficial to you because there are people who can assist you and help you choose what kind of watch to buy. It is still best to communicate with someone who has a wide knowledge to these things rather than take a risk by just reading the specifications of a watch. In addition to that, visiting a watch shop gives you the opportunity to see and touch the timepiece you're about the buy. This may not be much for some but having the chance to see it up close helps you come up with a good decision. Buying a reliable watch is really tough so it would really help if you can see it with your very own eyes before buying. You can also try it on and see if it matches your lifestyle and your personality. This may be an old school way of buying Replica watches but this is still what most people do because this is still the safest way. Going to a watch shop can be very time consuming. However, spending enough time to buy something that is exorbitant or even having an average price will greatly help you in making a good choice. People even fix their schedules just to drop by to these stores and take a good look at the watch that they have been eyeing for like what, months or even years. Yes, this might require you a huge amount of time but there is no doubt that visiting establishments is still the most preferred way of purchasing watches. If you're going to buy a watch immediately, what you should do is to go to a reliable watch shop. Do not forget to allot sufficient time to select a timepiece that is designed to run for many years. When you are visit watch stores, there are several sales assistants working in these shops, they will give your counsel and make suggestions ahout the watch you want to buy. Don't be shy. Listening to others is an important way for you to get a best watch.

The author of the Salon piece, Karen Maroda, interviewed Barnhouse, who died not long afterward. In her article, Maroda basically argues that psychoanalysis prolonged Plath's life. But she also questions how appropriate Barnhouse's relationship with Plath was, since she sometimes overstepped the boundaries normally governing therapeutic relationships. There is even the hint of lesbian attachment in Maroda's piece and the general implication that had Barnhouse followed the rules more carefully, Plath might have lived even longer.
I found Maroda's contention that psychoanalysis prolonged Plath's life dubious and reductive. I wrote a letter to Salon contending that it was poetry, not psychoanalysis, that kept her alive. It was clear, even in Maroda's piece, that Barnhouse acted to stimulate and support Plath's imagination. It struck me as profoundly odd that in an essay that is largely about the therapeutic relationship, it never occurred to Maroda to ask Barnhouse what she might have learned about the psyche from Plath, whose poetry is, as I put it in my letter, "full of images capable of both destabilizing and stabilizing the psyche. One reads them and feels how every imagination contains the worlds of Bosch and Monet."
I got a lot of e-mail from psychotherapists all over the country after Salon published my letter, most of them curious how I could make the claim that poetry can heal the psyche. That revealed to me again how censored education in psychology has become as its practical application, therapy, is treated more and more like an empirical science. That was never Freud's intention. He told an Italian interviewer in 1934, "I am a scientist by necessity, and not by vocation. I am really by nature an artist." He explained that psychoanalysis had been better understood by writers and artists than by doctors and that his work was mostly indebted to literary masters, especially the poet Goethe.
Carl Jung, Freud's intellectual heir who also became his competitor, issued similar statements toward the end of his life. He explained that, like Freud, to be taken seriously he had to present himself as a scientist but that he'd come to realize that much of what he did was actually artistic.
You have the opportunity this weekend to experience the power of poetry when John Fox presents a workshop at the Shambhala Meditation Center of Atlanta (1447 Church St., Decatur) on Sat., April 30, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Fox, a leader in the poetry therapy movement, is author of Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-Making. (Call 404-370-9650 to register.)
I interviewed Fox about five years ago and we agreed that poetry heals because, unlike much psychotherapy, it is not reductive. While most therapy tends to bring people constantly back to their personal biography, always stressing the literal, poetry employs metaphors that evoke the imagination and helps us open to the greater story we are part of. Poetry also tends to focus on the strangeness and oddity of experience, celebrating it, whereas much psychotherapy is undertaken with an agenda of normalization.
Thus, Fox's workshop on Saturday is themed "Edges, Risks and Connections: How Poetry Can Help You Stay Balanced and Compassionate in a Crazy World." Fox says, "If a person lives in a way that stands for justice, tolerance and tenderness, that commitment may mean that he or she is called to step outside their comfort zone, rise above the popular status quo, reach beyond personal limitation and sometimes, walk a path others may not validate."
In my own work, I approach the psychological through images and thus as an aesthetic subject. I often hear clients protest that the imaginal is not "real" and that to absorb oneself in it is escapist. But the reality is that we are all living in the world of the imagination all of the time. It is a fact that the earth circles the sun, for example, but the notion is absurd to the imagination. Thus we speak of the rising and setting sun, just as the Greeks depicted the sun as Apollo's chariot moving across the sky, even when they knew the scientific facts. The imagination gives expression to our experience and thus is as real as what we call empirical reality. Freud provides an excellent example. He describes a kiss as contact "between the mucous membrane of the lips of the two people concerned." But, as author and depth psychologist Robert Romanyshyn observes, "As a fact that is correct. But whoever kisses with such an attitude will, indeed, never wholly kiss you."
Poetry, as any reader of Valentine's Day cards knows, is especially powerful at expressing the world as it is experienced by the heart, classically regarded as the organ of the imagination. When we give voice to our hearts, as Fox urges us to do, we can anchor ourselves in what we imagine rather than in the things that would make us crazy.
Cliff Bostock holds a Ph.D. in depth psychology.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

We are flying from Gatwick North just before midday on Sunday. We are staying the night before at a Premier Inn within walking distance of the terminal.
I am hoping that I can walk up to the airport early in the morning with our one suitcase for going in the hold. Three questions:
- How long before the flight can you do the bagdrop? EasyJet have indicated that it is 2 hours but I would prefer to do it earlier so that I can get it out of the way and go back to the hotel for breakfast.
- What are the bag drops queues like nowadays? I heard that they used to be long but am wondering if that has changed since they moved to online check-in.
- Can there be long queues at passport control at Gatwick?

Ferrexpo Sees Steady Iron-Ore Prices Amid 'Tight' Supply
Ferrexpo Plc, the Ukranian iron-ore producer controlled by Chief Executive Officer Kostyantin Zhevago, expects prices for the steelmaking ingredient to hold around current levels for the rest of the year as supply remains "tight."
"There's no fundamental reason that prices for iron ore should drop this year," Chief Financial Officer Chris Mawe said today by phone. "The market seems to have found its level."
The benchmark price for iron ore imported to China, the largest consumer of the material, rose 0.6 percent to $144.10 a metric ton yesterday, according to The Steel Index data. Prices may climb 9.3 percent to an average of $157.50 in the fourth quarter, according to the median estimate of seven analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
"Iron ore is still under-supplied; the supply and demand balance remains tight," Mawe said. "Supply and demand should remain tight for two or three years yet."
Ferrexpo earlier today reported a 34 percent increase in profit after prices gained last year. Net income advanced to $567.8 million in 2011 from $422.9 million a year earlier, the Baar, Switzerland-based company said in a statement. Sales rose 38 percent to $1.79 billion.
Iron ore imported to China averaged $167.60 a ton in 2011, compared with $146.70 a ton a year earlier. Ferrexpo shipped 28.2 million tons, an 11 percent increase from the prior year.
Ferrexpo rose 1.4 percent to 337.8 pence by the close of trading in London, taking its gains this year to 26 percent.

Hello there
"This is never going to work," Danielle told herself, taking in Matt's collar-length hair and deep green eyes.
They had e-met on Match.com two weeks earlier.
A picture of Danielle dressed in a blue dragon Halloween costume caught Lancaster native Matt's attention; her refreshingly well-written profile led the Susquehanna International Group software engineer, who earned his degree in management science and information systems from Pennsylvania State University, to say hello.
Danielle, then a Nutrisystem weight loss counselor, also checked out his grammar. Her liberal arts degree from Sarah Lawrence included a creative writing focus. Multiple misspellings and comma confetti would normally send her to the next potential bachelor. But not a single error marred Matt's South Park and Lord of the Rings references. And he said he sought his new best friend.

Watch Melissa McCarthy, Jodie Foster, Adam Sandler Ruin Their Han Solo Auditions on 'CONAN'
- 01:49 PM, Jul 25
Philomena is the true story of one mother's search for her lost son.
Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a "fallen woman". When her baby was only a toddler, he was taken away by the nuns for adoption in America. Philomena spent the next fifty years searching for him in vain.
Then she met Martin Sixsmith, a world-weary political journalist who happened to be intrigued by her story. Together they set off for America on a journey that would not only reveal the extraordinary story of Philomena's son, but also create an unexpectedly close bond between them.
The film is a compelling narrative of human love and loss and ultimately celebrates life. It is both funny and sad and concerns two very different people, at different stages of their lives, who help each other and show that there is laughter even in the darkest places.

A three-dimensional, fully self-adaptive finite-element procedure is presented, based on the use of complementary variational principles. The use of the dual formulation ensures overall accuracy and provides a way of implementing localized mesh refinement. The initial problem meshing is achieved using a mesh generation technique based on the method of Delaunay tessellation. This work is an extension of techniques previously used successfully for two-dimensional representations

Does an Internet-only currency — not backed by any government entity — have a chance to become the way merchants and consumers transact business?
Coinbase not only believes so, but it has talked investors into giving it some start-up capital to build a much easier way for nontechnical users to pay with Bitcoin.
SendHub, the messaging startup that allows businesses to communicate with customers through SMS, is expanding its service today to include support for voice calls and voicemail. These new features put SendHub in more direct competition with Google Voice, as users will now be able to use their SendHub phone numbers to both make and receive phones calls, while keeping their personal cell numbers private. Although the company only has an iPhone application and online service currently, these voice calls can be initiated and received on any device that supports messaging – even on feature phones.
We're all a bit tired of the "X is Twilio for Y" brand of analogies (though it's refreshing to see more of Twilio in this equation than Airbnb these days), but if ever there were an industry in need of some modern, standardizing APIs it would be education. Thankfully, Clever, a San Francisco-based startup and member of Y Combinator's current batch, is today launching a solution that brings some of the Twilio vision to education.
As companies from small startups to large enterprise continue to generate an ever-increasing amount of data, the demand for affordable and scalable databases also increases. Typically, this market has been the domain of large vendors like Oracle, but besides them and the usual open-source players, we've also seen a growing number of closed-source startups enter this space. Citus Data, which is launching version 1.0 of its CitusDB today, is the latest startup to challenge these incumbents.
The company, which has received a total of $1.6 million in seed funding, is based in Silicon Valley, with an additional office in Istanbul, Turkey. Among the seed investors are Trinity Ventures, Digital Garage, Matt Ocko, Ben Ling and Paul Buchheit. The founders are industry veterans who previously worked at Amazon and other companies that had to deal with large amounts of data since the early days of the web. The team has been working on the product for about two years now and already has a number of customers who are using CitusDB in a production environment.
Companies looking to monitor their web presence interactions have no shortage of analytics service providers to turn to. But in most cases, what they'll get when they do set up an analytics solution is a database of numbers, which still have to be crunched by data scientists before they can be turned over to frontline staff and used to drive customer interaction policy and action. Custora, a startup looking to provide online retailers with insight about their customers, wants to shorten the loop on data gathered by organizing its analytics around questions rather than spreadsheets in its new 2.0 release.
Last night, Google showcased Beam's new functionality with two apps, Paper Camera and Tagstand's Task Launcher. Y Combinator-backed Tagstand, in particular, has been on a mission to make NFC more of a mainstream technology and is starting to pick up steam as a result.
Tagstand co-founder Kulveer Taggar tells us that the startup saw a big jump in demand when the NFC-equipped Galaxy Nexus hit stores, so they rebuilt Task Launcher to include a bunch of new features — and a new interface — in March. Sales picked up almost immediately, and they went on to sell as many tags in March as they did during the entire month of June 2011 (when the app launched).
What does one move onto after building what we called at one time "the most gorgeous photosharing app yet" and selling it to Facebook? For Divvyshot co-founder Sam Odio, its a new startup focused on analytics called Freshplum.
Along with Odio, co-founders Michael Yuan and Nick Alexander are announcing a $1.4M seed round of funding from some pretty impressive investors: New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Greylock Partners, Google Ventures and Charles River Ventures. If those firms weren't enough, there are a few current and former executives from Google, PayPal and Facebook participating as well.
Looked for an apartment lately? It sucked, right? You showed up and you had to fill out an application and submit all sorts of stupid paperwork — credit check, proof of employment, utility invoice (apparently to prove that you can pay a bill, like an adult), etc. And then, if you're lucky, your name will be pulled out of a hat amongst the other half-dozen people who applied for the same property.
Well that whole process sucks for landlords and property management companies as well. After all, they're the ones who collect all that paperwork and sort through all that data. Don't you wish there were a better way? Thanks to Rentobo, there is.
Yardsale, a mobile app to help folks sell goods to local buyers, is now available throughout the U.S., after a long, long period of testing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The latest version of the app, which hooks into Craigslist and enables users to easily list items for sale, hopes to take on other local marketplaces by reducing the friction associated with creating listings, and then dealing with flaky buyers afterward.
The Yardsale guys believe that everyone has some stuff they'd like to get rid of, if only Craigslist and eBay weren't such a pain in the ass to deal with. On Craigslist, you're faced with buyers who'd rather spend time haggling than actually buying your stuff. And when you do agree on a price, you never know whether your buyer will actually show up to, you know, buy the items. As for eBay, well, you are up against a growing number of small businesses, which have cropped up to largely make individual sellers seem irrelevant. In either case, it's not a good user experience.

Southern Railway have this week announced that they will be implementing an emergency timetable from Monday 11th July, which will result in the cancellation of 341 services across their network. Dulwich & West Norwood MP, Helen Hayes, has written the following letter to the Rail Minister, Claire Perry MP, about the entirely unacceptable impacts that the emergency timetable will have on my constituents. Please see the full text below:
"Thank you for meeting with me on 22nd June 2016. I was pleased to have the opportunity to raise Southern Railway's poor performance with you and Southern's most senior managers, and to discuss the urgent improvements needed to resolve the unacceptably poor service experienced by my constituents on a daily basis.
I had understood from that meeting that steps were being taken to address Southern's performance, and that while this may take several weeks to complete, my constituents would begin to see an improvement in the reliability of rail services across Dulwich and West Norwood shortly.
At our meeting, neither you nor Charles Horton, the Chief Executive of Southern, or Dyan Crowther, Southern's Chief Operating Officer, raised the possibility of the introduction of an emergency timetable which is due to be implemented next week with minimal prior warning and communication.
The emergency timetable sees the withdrawal of 341 services from the GTR network. The services to be cancelled are heavily concentrated in South London, including the vast majority of the peak hour commuter services running from stations in and very close to my constituency – North Dulwich, East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace as well as the withdrawal of all services to London Bridge from West Norwood and Tulse Hill.
This is effectively the collapse of commuter rail services in my constituency, and coming on top of more than 18 months of appalling service levels, cancelled trains, short trains and overcrowding as a consequence of the earlier phases of the London Bridge works, it is completely unacceptable.
To add insult to injury I understand from a telephone conversation with Southern this afternoon that although Southern is advertising a replacement bus service, this is not actually the case – the thousands of my constituents who normally travel by train are expected to use already overcrowded existing bus services, or equally crowded train services from other stations, without Southern taking any steps whatsoever to provide their own replacement bus service.
The rationale for the emergency timetable appears to be to enable Southern Railway to run a more reliable service. This will come as cold comfort to the thousands of my constituents who will be severely impacted by these changes, because the services they rely on will not now be running at all. It is a shifting of the goalposts which seems entirely aimed at improving Southern Railway's performance statistics rather than improving services for passengers.
It is also entirely unacceptable that such a dramatic change was introduced apparently without any warning, any published assessment of the likely impact, or any consultation with passenger groups, and that no timetable has been set for the restoration of a normal level of service.
As you know, confidence in Southern Railway amongst passengers is already at rock bottom. The fact that such a dramatic curtailing of the timetable is considered to be an appropriate response to the current crisis and an acceptable level of inconvenience for passengers to bear, demonstrates further that the leadership of Southern Railway does not have the capacity to regain public confidence.
I am therefore calling on you, as a matter of urgency, to remove the franchise from Southern and for the Department of Transport to take over the running of the service directly, while arrangements are put in place to subsequently transfer the services to Transport for London (TfL) once TfL has built up capacity to take on the franchise.
Given the unacceptably disproportionate focus of the cuts to services in South London I must also ask that the emergency timetable is further revised immediately to distribute its impacts more fairly across the network. It is also critical that Southern provides a real replacement bus service, or contributes to additional capacity on existing bus routes, so that the already overcrowded public transport system in South London is not completely overwhelmed as a consequence of the emergency timetable.
I look forward to hearing from you as a matter of urgency."
The Dulwich Community Council meeting (DCC) on 22 June heard representations from local residents, Southwark Cyclists, Dulwich and Herne Hill Safe Routes to School, and local MP Helen Hayes over the implementation of the proposed new Quietway. Local councillors recommended a pause in the process while key issues were reviewed.
They suggested a trial, not only of the change of priority at the junction in Dulwich Village, but also the reduction of three lanes to two on Court Lane/Calton Avenue. They also wanted no further action on the current proposals until the results were in from a study into alternative routes for the school coaches for Alleyn's, JAGS and Dulwich College, which all currently use the proposed Quietway.
The public consultation meetings over the Dulwich Almshouse Trust's proposal to build new accommodation next to the Judith Kerr Primary School were held on 8th and 11th June. Over 200 people attended and there were 130 written responses.
The new book on the Pubs of Dulwich and Herne Hill will be published next week. Copies cost £9.50 and will be on sale at the local pubs exhibition at Rosebery Lodge on Sunday 15 May 12.00-4.00. Otherwise they can be purchased online through the Herne Hill Society's online bookshop at hernehillsociety.org.uk.
Planning applications for the two schemes should be made in August.
The new post box has been installed and we expect the ATM to follow shortly.
Revised plans for the JAGS music school have been submitted to Southwark Council (Southwark ref: 16/AP/2403). The scheme has been reviewed following the arrival of a new head last autumn and both reduced in size and modified to integrate better with the existing school buildings.
We have 91 guests and no members online
Our objects are to create the sense of community that one would hope to find in a good village, to increase awareness of local history and the character that make Dulwich special, to foster an appreciation of open spaces and trees, to introduce the people who live and work here to each other, and to help them to enjoy the atmosphere and life of Dulwich.

Enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard Marriott over the 4th of July weekend. The rooms, although not overtly large, are well maintained and spacious enough for the time actually spent in the room. The restaurant/bar served decent meals and there is also a market that is available 24hrs. a day. The property does charge for parking, but there is plenty of street parking available in the neighborhood surrounding the hotel. Location is key to this property. It is blocks away from Old Town San Diego and numerous restaurants and shops. You are also in walking distance of the Old Town trolley station which can get you to downtown very quickly. The only complaint was that the spa was not working, but this was a minor inconvenience. Would look to stay at this property the next time we are in the area.
