Publisher's Description
You cant afford to live casually, haphazardly.
No matter your age, you were born into a plethora of expectations of what it means to be a woman. How easily we assume impoverished views of womanhood as we hoist beauty and desirability above the more enduring traits of self-possession and dignity. We tend to live as divided and distracted selves, allowing our bodies and minds to drift to opposite poles while swapping our pursuit of God for tamer, lesser loves.
This collection of essays is more than a call to modesty or chastity. It is a thoughtful provocation to speak well, read often, make choices that reflect the character of God, and even to establish a theology of play or leisure. Being intentional with your choices, cultivating your intellect, and taking seriously your voice determines not only what kind of person you are, but also what kind of woman you will be.
"[Unseduced and Unshaken] raises the bar for young Christian women...Its a call for all Christian women to examine their personal faith presuppositions, deliberately choose a life of Biblical dignity, and to not be frightened to allow theology to inform our choices."

Do you or a family member suffer from chronic insomnia, chronic fatigue, headaches upon waking, restless leg syndrome, excessive snoring? You may be among the millions of Americans who suffer from some form of sleep disorder.
"The signs and symptoms of sleep disorders vary greatly, and for many, their sleep-related problems go undiagnosed and untreated," said Meena Mehta, MD, medical director of the Hallmark Health Sleep Medicine Center at Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford. "Awareness of how quality sleep can impact a person's overall health and well-being has dramatically increased in recent years."
The signs and symptoms of sleep disorders include excessive daytime sleepiness, headache and confusion upon waking, trouble falling and staying asleep, falling asleep at inappropriate times, chronic fatigue, leg cramps, snoring, and irregular heartbeat during the night, among others. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most commonly known sleep disorder and can be associated with a number of health risks including hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The new Hallmark Health Sleep Medicine Center at Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford offers complete care and services by a team of sleep medicine providers highly trained in the diagnosis, treatment and management of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, excessive snoring, narcolepsy, chronic insomnia, circadian rhythm abnormalities, and more. With proper diagnosis and management of sleep disorders, patients can experience significant improvement in symptoms, quality of life and associated health risks.
The Sleep Medicine Center is in newly designed space on the third floor at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and provides both hospital overnight and at-home studies. The build out of the space was done in conjunction with the newly renovated location for the Center for Weight Management and Weight Loss Surgery at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. There are strong ties between sleep apnea and obesity and by offering sleep medicine services right on-site for bariatric surgery patients we are able to provide our patients with a comprehensive program in one location.
For more information about the sleep center, call 781-306-6366.

During American Diabetes Month®, Hallmark Health System wants to remind people with diabetes that they are at a higher risk for non-healing foot wounds – and therefore amputations – than most Americans and that a wound healing center can provide guidance for prevention and treatment.
For most Americans, a blister or cut on the foot is a small inconvenience that a Band-Aid™ and time will heal. But that's not the case for the 29.1 million Americans who have diabetes. Some of the complications of diabetes make feet vulnerable to non-healing foot ulcers that can result in infections and even amputations. Sixty to seventy percent of people with diabetes have limited or no feeling in their feet—their early warning systems have been altered or completely shut down by nerve damage. If you notice any skin changes or red patches on your feet and you have diabetes, the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Hallmark Health, located at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital urges you to see your doctor or call the center immediately for an evaluation. The center is here to educate, prevent and provide treatment when necessary.
"It's much easier to treat a minor foot problem before it becomes serious," said Alfonso Serrano, MD, a board-certified general and vascular surgeon with decades of experience who serves as medical director for the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital. "Many patients we see have a diabetic foot ulcer. This type of non-healing wound is the leading cause of hospitalization and amputation for people with diabetes." A person with diabetes has impaired immunity and often reduced blood flow to the legs and feet. Both can hamper healing, cause infections and cause damage to underlying structures and bones. In some cases, the damage can lead to a toe, foot or leg amputation.
The World Health Organization estimates that 85 percent of all diabetic amputations are preventable. The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Hallmark Health will provide the best treatment to help your wound heal. However, in order to prevent a foot ulcer from starting, it is vital that patients with diabetes check their feet daily and get regular foot care from their doctor.
According to the American Diabetes Association, one adult is diagnosed in the United States every 19 seconds. That's 1.7 million more people each year at risk for non-healing wounds and other complications. What's more, one in four people who have diabetes today are undiagnosed and don't know they're at risk.
The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine at Hallmark Health's highly trained multidisciplinary team combines evidence-based best practices and advanced therapies with individualized treatment plans for faster healing to get their patients back to health and enjoying what they care about most.

Nine physicians from the medical staff of Hallmark Health System, which includes Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, have been named Top Doctors in the Boston Area according to Boston Magazine. The magazine lists local physicians practicing in more than 50 specialty fields most frequently recommended in a survey of other doctors.
For more than two decades, Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., America's trusted source for identifying Top Doctors, has based its selection process on the foundation of peer nominations. All licensed physicians, MDs and DOs (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) are invited to participate in this online process. This involves contacting directly more than 50,000 physicians and hospital and healthcare executives, a nationwide distribution of nomination notifications via various media channels.
Physicians can nominate those other doctors whom they feel are the most outstanding in their medical specialties, in any area of medicine and in any part of the country, indicating also whether they believe that the physician is among the best in their region or among the very best in the nation. Also, already-selected Castle Connolly Top Doctors® are actively encouraged through various communications to participate in this process as well. A physician cannot nominate him/herself.
Physicians from the Hallmark Health System medical staff on this year's Boston Magazine list are:
Dennis Begos, MD – Colon & Rectal Surgery
David Gendelman,MD – Ophthalmology
Phillip Gendelman, MD – Ophthalmology
Leanne Lee, MD – Family Medicine
Jose Marcal, MD – Gastroenterology
Sunita Schurgin, MD – Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism
Patricia Sereno, MD, MPH, FAAFP – Family Medicine
Jeffrey Sobell,MD – Dermatology
Peter Tiffany, MD – Urology

During fall and winter, I see many patients with a stuffy and runny nose, a cough, chest congestion and frequent throat clearing. These are symptoms of several different conditions. Patients could have simple colds or allergies or other illnesses such as a sinus infection, acute bronchitis, acid reflux, or asthma. Your doctor is trained to sort out your symptoms and examine you to form the right diagnosis and the right treatment plan. If you have any of these symptoms, see your primary care physician.
Here are some of the things I look for when patients have these common cold-weather symptoms:
Colds are viral upper respiratory tract infections that are well known to all of us. It's common to have two to three colds per year. We tend to get more colds during the winter months because we are more likely to be exposed to large groups or gatherings such as holiday events or children at school. Colds are characterized by these symptoms:
• cough
• nasal congestion
• a watery clear discharge
• low-grade headaches
• ear aches
Colds usually last no more than five to seven days and require little treatment other than some over-the-counter cough and cold medications and a large box of tissues.
Seasonal allergies can occur year-round or seasonally. These illnesses are related to an allergic response to a variety of airborne (or food-related) proteins. The body responds with these reactions:
• cough
• chest congestion
• wheezing
• hives
• itchy or watery eyes
• fatigue
• headaches
• no fever
Severe exposure to allergens can cause a fever, such as in response to a dirty humidifier, wet basement, or many workplace allergy triggers (foods, dusts, chemicals). Fungal exposure in those settings can cause severe reactions that also affect the lungs and cause long-term lung damage. Allergies tend to be worse in the fall, due to exposure to dust from heating systems (especially forced hot air systems), and in the spring, due to molds from decaying leaves and damp basements. Exposures can be reduced by using a HEPA (high-energy particulate) filter or other type of fan.
Usually allergies can be easily treated with antihistamines. If symptoms are severe or persistent, you may consider receiving allergy shots from an allergist.
Other conditions
There are a number of other conditions that have similar symptoms to colds and allergies.
•Acute sinusitis, or a sinus infection, is characterized by cough, nasal congestion, low-grade fever, and headaches over the cheeks or forehead. The infection often follows a common cold after three to five days of nasal congestion, a runny nose and sore throat. Usually the cold appears to get better after a few days, but then symptoms worsen including the fever and headaches. Nasal discharge can become discolored (green, yellow, or brown) and need to be frequently cleared with tissues or even a salt water solution with a neti pot. Sinus infections are typically treated with antibiotics for 10 days.
•Acute bronchitis is an illness of the bronchi – the tubes below the windpipe leading to the lungs. Symptoms include a cough, low-grade fever and discolored phlegm (similar to sinusitis). This illness requires similar antibiotic treatment if it persists beyond five to seven days.
•Acid reflux (GERD or gastro-esophageal reflux) can also cause chronic cough and throat clearing, but there are usually no symptoms of nasal congestion, fever, headaches or phlegm. The illness is treated with medications and lifestyle changes.
•Asthma is an illness of the bronchi characterized by cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, phlegm, and in about half of cases, underlying allergies as well. This is a common illness, affecting approximately 5 percent of the population. There are a number of effective medications and treatment options for asthma.
So if you're experiencing any of these common symptoms, see your doctor. With a few tests, a stethoscope, a chest or sinus X-ray, or allergy tests, he or she can give you an effective treatment plan to help you feel better. Specialists such as allergists, otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors), and pulmonologists are also available to guide you through symptoms and treatments.
Michael Bader, MD, is on the medical staff of Hallmark Health System. He is board certified in internal medicine and pulmonary medicine.
Alfredo Aquino of Hallmark Health VNA & Hospice Receives Malden Rotary Club Service Above Self Award
- Details
Alfredo Aquino, a home health aide at Hallmark Health Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice, Inc., is the recipient of the Healthcare Provider Service Above Self Award presented by the Malden Rotary Club. This is the first year with a dedicated healthcare provider category. Service Above Self awards are presented annually to individuals in police, fire, emergency management, sheriff's office, paramedics, education, community service, and now, healthcare, who "go above and beyond" what is required of their profession.
Mr. Aquino, who immigrated to the US from the Philippines in 1995, has been a home health aide for 29 years, the last 15 of which have been with Hallmark Health VNA & Hospice.
In speaking of Mr. Aquino, Cindy Lyons, director of clinical services at Hallmark Health VNA & Hospice said, "his understated, steady internal energy permeates the relationship with every patient he has cared for. His unassuming manner and quiet confidence instantly puts the sickest of patients at ease."
November is Home Care & Hospice Month. During November the home care and hospice community honor the millions of nurses, home care aides, therapists, and social workers who make a remarkable difference for the patients and families they serve. These heroic caregivers play a central role in our health care system and in homes across the nation.

The diversity and size of Hallmark Health Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice enhances the ability to provide comprehensive and expert services based on individual needs. The knowledge of and involvement in the community has also allowed for successful advocacy for the needs of patients and families.
Whether it is providing skilled nursing care to a premature infant, medical surgical care to a patient recently discharged from the hospital, nursing teaching to a new diabetic, palliative care, or hospice care, the staff of Hallmark Health Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice never lose sight of the mission of enhancing the patient's quality of life. All of the programs are leaders in guiding and shaping the future of home care, preventative, and long term care. Each excels in providing comprehensive services that promote a healthy community, as well as individual dignity and independence. All strive to achieve the highest standards of individual and organizational excellence.
The Hospice program at Hallmark Health Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice strives to maximize the physical, emotional and spiritual comfort of patients at home or if needed, in an extended care facility. The program utilizes an integrated team approach to care, which includes the patient's primary care physician, patient and patient's family as part of the team. The Hospice team is comprised of experienced and caring hospice nurses, social workers, specially trained home health aides, therapists, a board certified medical director, pharmacists, clergy and volunteers.

Hello. I just found this group and so glad I did. A little background on me: I just gave birth to my third child (first son) on May 27th. He passed away a week later due to prematurity. He was born at 25 weeks because I had severe pre-eclampsia. I am trying to get my blood pressure under control with pregnancy safe medications. What do your doctors have you ladies taking? My new doctor didn't seem real confident with her prescription so I wanted to reach out to others for advice. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I'm really sorry for your loss. For high blood pressure they will use methyldopa, nifedipine, labetalol. These are the ones that are ok for pregnancy. Eclampsia and pre eclampsia are a bit different, though. I hope this helps.

At VO2 Max Racing Events, we are committed to improving the quality of single- and multi-sport events in the North East region. Our focus is firmly on the competitor and straightforward, well organised, good quality races are our trademark. We cater for people of all abilities, young and old, through training to competition and we want you all to have a fantastic experience.
Our 2015 season is over and what a success it turned out to be with some great racing & open water swim training throughout the year. The season started with our open water swim training on the 7th May at the QE2 lake, Woodhorn and continued every Thursday evening from 18:00 to 20:00 until the end of July. It was extremely popular, with triathletes and open water swimmers a like, making it their main weekly session throughout the summer months.
Our first race took place on the 7th June with the Northumberland Triathlon - Druridge bay Country Park is a superb venue for a 'First Class' event. The ever popular event was sold out again in 2015 and even some very windy conditions the day before could not hamper our preparations. Testament to the venue, our Sprint and Standard events proceeded seamlessly and were enjoyed by all in blazing hot sunshine. The standard of racing was again superb, and spectators were out in force to cheer the competitors on and provide a truly amazing atmosphere. Feedback has been great and the event was again a massive success.
Next up on the 18th July we had the QE2 Woodhorn Museum Triathlon at the stunning QE2 Country Park. This is a Triathlon England 2 Star Mark of Quality event and Woodhorn Museum is another perfect venue for Triathlon. After its success in 2014 it was again a 'must do' event in 2015. The 'undulating' bike route really tested the competitors but rewarded them with some breath-taking coastal views along the way. An exhilarating run on the footpath winding its way through the woodland surrounding the lake and through the impressive Museum Grounds was ideal for spectators to cheer everyone on to a great finish in spectacular surroundings. More great reviews and another massive success!
Entries for our 2016 events will open in November 2015.
Good luck with your training over the winter, and we look forward to seeing you at our events in 2016!
Event Day Memberships are available to download if you've entered either race as a Non BTF Member.
Race packs for the Northumberland Triathlon on 5th June and the QE2 Woodhorn Museum Triathlon on 17th July are now available and ready to download.
We are pleased to announce that British Triathlon have awarded a 3 Star Mark of Quality to the QE2 "Woodhorn Museum" Triathlon.

'I had to dance for the first time for ITAPB'
By Rinku Gupta | ENS
Published: 03rd September 2013 12:44 PM
Last Updated: 03rd September 2013 12:44 PM
He has steadily risen the bar with every role he has done. His films not only set cash registers ringing but also showcase him playing a variety of characters. Now with Itharke Thane Aasai Pattai Balakumara (ITAPB) ready for release, actor Vijay Sethupathy is set to regale his fans with his role Sumaara Moonji Kumar (SMK). Speaking to CE, he reveals more about the character and the travails of dancing on the screen for the first time.
"SMK is a character who lives in Kapali Theru in Mylapore. He has small desires in life like winning over the neighbourhood beauty Kumudha, played by Nandita. He is basically a Kumudha bhaktan," says Vijay with a grin. "It's a fun film and it was great working with director Gokul who has a strong penchant for comedy," he adds.
According to Vijay, Gokul is also a great actor. "He knew every character's mannerisms in detail. His flair for comedy is so good that even on the sets he would improvise and add funny lines. His ability to add variations made him a delight to work with and kept me on my toes to give my best," he says.
For Vijay, one of the highlights in the movie was speaking the Chennai slang. "I know the local lingo but Gokul has a detailed grasp of the nuances of Chennai slang and the body language. I learnt a lot from him."
Apart from imbibing a different body language for the role, Vijay had to prepare himself for the dance sequences, a first for him. "I got the jitters when I heard that Raju Sundaram was the choreographer. I told him frankly that I couldn't dance and haven't danced on screen before. He was very cool and gave me easier steps," says Vijay. He took four days to shoot each of the three songs, composed by newbie Siddharth Vipin.
Ask him why he looks bulky in the promos and he replies, "I had just finished shooting Soodhu Kavvum for which I had to gain weight.
That's why I'm heavier in ITABP. Since there was no specific physique required for the character, I was able to play it my way."
With ITABP, Vijay promises a fun ride for audience. "We don't aim to advise anyone. But there's a subtle message in the film, conveyed in a jolly manner. You won't know how the time flew when you exit the cinema hall!" he says.

Dear reader,
It is my pleasure to introduce to you MUN Society Belgium, a group of highly motivated and promising students, who are eager to broaden their mindset and develop abilities like speaking, debating and negotiating by participating in Model UN conferences around the globe.
Since its foundation in 2005, this organization has built up an impressive track record. Our participation to previous MUN conferences yielded multiple awards, extensive media coverage and the patronage of the national and regional ministers of Foreign Affairs.
I invite you to learn about the many interesting aspects of our workings, while surfing on this website. Please feel free to contact me for further information on this unique initiative.
Best wishes,
Louise Hannecart
President - MUN Society Belgium
MSB has been given the opportunity to give a workshop for Ekonomika alongside some of the greatest companies in the world. If you want to be present at one of our workshop, keep checking out our facebookpage. Next term we will be found in Antwerp, Leuven and many more cities.
The MSB delegation has brought home the LIMUN trophy for the seventh time.
Although 7 times younger, our admiration for what the UN has achieved is 100 times bigger.
The London Banking Circuit organised by MUN Society Belgium reached the newspaper 'De Standaard' this morning.
MSB is proud on its eight Best Large Delegation Award in Oxford International Model United Nations.
As Caesar said, the Belgians are the bravest of all Gauls. 2000 years later, MUN Society Belgium proved him right by winning for the fifth time the Best Large Delegation award at Harvard World Model United Nations in Rome.
RTL picked up on the performance of the MSB delegation on Harvard World MUN in Rome.
The team just came home from an amazing experience at the 2016 Harvard World Model United Nations conference in Rome. Want to be part of it? Apply now for the next application session on the 8th of October!
We are proud to welcome 4 new members into the team. Laura, Robbert, Laurent and Younes, welcome to the society!
Preparation is key. MSB has met with former US Ambassador in Belgium Howard Gutman and Kelly Degnan, the current Deputy Chief of Mission at the US embassy in Rome. These high ranking diplomats helped our team to put on their American hat and gave them a glimpse into the world of global diplomacy.
MSB youth and alumni were reunited on the annual Football Game and BBQ.

Designed to Dazzle: Casino Hotel Suites
Published: September 3, 1987
(Page 2 of 2)
The most lavish ''supersuite'' at the Sands is the Versailles, meant to resemble Louis XIV's idea of a normal life. ''It's decadent,'' admitted Lester R. Belmuth, the designer, who borrowed generously from the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
The color scheme is yellow, with contrasting furniture in the French provincial style. There is a fringed billiard table, which matches the fringed draperies in the living room and, in the entrance hall, a painting done recently in the style of Francois Boucher, the 18th-century French artist. A raised Jacuzzi, surrounded by a gold-tipped iron balcony in the living room, is embedded in a marble platform that, presumably like the faces of its happy occupants, lights up at night.
To Alan Lapidus, a New York architect who designed the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City and other casino hotels, suites like the Versailles are masterpieces of illusion.
Plexiglas imitates mirror. The use of chrome, silver and gold reflects ''glittery fantasy money.''
The most successful suites combine overstatement and understatement tongue-in-cheek. At the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, Mr. Conversano used humor as a decorating device. In the Chairman's Apartment, a stained-glass dome shelters a Jacuzzi reached by a marble staircase -''definitely the Baths of Caracalla,'' said the designer. In the Oriental-style President's
Apartment, there is what the designer described as a ''meditative opium den'' with prayer tablets on the wall. There is a gong near the dining-room table, and a Buddha shrine next to the breakfast table.
Those who do experience the interiors seem to find them memorable.
The singer Petula Clark, who said she normally lives amid ''modern and antique things'' in London and Geneva, recently finished a stint at the Caesar's Palaces in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
''A certain amount of glitz and fantasy is part of the deal,'' she said, musing. ''It's rather fun actually.'' In what other interior, she reasoned, could her 14-year-old son, Patrick, work on his golf swing?
For better or for worse, these Versailles imitations and others are ''distinctively American,'' said the historian John M. Findlay, a professor at the University of Washington and the author of ''People of Chance: Gambling in American Society from Jamestown to Las Vegas.''
''They are about instant tradition, instant legitimacy,'' he said. ''New money and self-made fortunes are given recognition by treating people like the aristocracy of 18th-century Europe or ancient Rome.''
''In America,'' he added, ''wealth is not generally associated with understatement.''

The best rated ski slopes of Western NC offer 82 acres of skiing terrain to snow bunnies of all skill levels. If the idea of merging onto ski trails is too terrifying, take the tube! The Wolf Ridge Tube Run gives you a thrilling descent and easy ascent on the "magic carpet." Returning to Scenic Wolf Resort is a treat in itself. Trade snow pants for a swimsuit and zip down the waterslide in the glass-enclosed heated pool. At the end of the day, your rustic cabin with modern amenities awaits. Watch a movie in Blu-ray on the big screen TV or soak in the views of Wolf Ridge Mountain from your private hot tub.

Skip to comments.What Other Critics Are Saying (about the "Passion of the Christ")
Posted on 02/23/2004 8:19:16 PM PST by DentsRun
Here's a sampling of what some movie critics think about Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
"Relentlessly savage, "The Passion" plays like the Gospel according to the Marquis de Sade." -- David Ansen, Newsweek
"A surprisingly violent narrative ... One of the cruelest movies in the history of cinema. ... a sickening death trip" -- David Denby, the New Yorker
"the audience profile for The Passion of the Christ is true believers with cast-iron stomachs... a religious splatter-art film" -- Richard Corliss, Time
"The bloodiest story ever told..." -- Peter Rainer, New York
"It's a very great film. It's the only religious film I've seen with the exception of "The Gospel According to Matthew" by Pasolini, that really seems to deal directly with what happened instead of with all kinds of sentimental eyes, cleaned up, post card versions of it." -- Roger Ebert, on his syndicated TV show "Ebert & Roeper"
(Excerpt) Read more at newsday.com ...
Now if the reviewers only told us what their real agendas are we'd know what this is about.
Methinks they already have......
There are a lot of people PROFOUNDLY afraid of this movie.
We're supposed to believe that the critics who fawned over Fargo and others give a rat's a$$ about the violence of this movie? Give me a break.
Ebert was right. There will be no religious or devotional depictions to make these events pretty. The critics will howl because they are not getting the stoytelling Jesus that they are used to, they are getting Jesus as savior- someone they have never seen before in film.
something most movie critics don't understand.
I know what crucifixion is like, and worse. I do not need to be spoon fed gore and violence to know what Christ did for me. The fact that He, as God, died at all for my sins is all I need to know.
Frankly I'm tired of the "mooney-eyed" Jesus of the Hollywood film industry. It's time to see how it really happened, according to the Gospels.
Nor the media. It used to irk me, but now I'm beginning to enjoy watching all the talking heads on TV try to analyze this movie. They are all clueless! This is because many of them have only a rudimentary idea of who Christ is and what he had to go through for us. And this whole "blame the Jews" thing is laughable. What the talking heads don't realize as well is that to be a Christian means
1. Not pointing blame (i.e.: being anti-semetic). And
2. Knowing that this is what HAD to happen for Him to take away our sins.
Again - they are totally clueless.
1. Not pointing blame (i.e.: being anti-semetic). And
2. Knowing that this is what HAD to happen for Him to take away our sins. Again - they are totally clueless.
I'm not even Christian and I'm going to go see it, if for no reason other than to support Christians.
Good heavens, it would seem the revival has not yet started in Acreage... Is that really what Jesus would say to the liberal secularist scum?
The screenwriter of the softporn classics Up! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens, the creator of the immortal soft-porn queen Sweet L'il Alice, Reinhold Timme (aka, Roger Ebert; he changed his name when he came to Hollywood), is a Catholic?
I don't think so.
I think many the reviewers don't WANT to comprehend the gravity of the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf.
.. because they would have to acknowledge the dept of graditude we owe Jesus.
I wonder how many of these same reviewers would even acknowledge that we are sinners in need of a Savior?
That is exactly the way I see it.
Can you document that? I have never heard him mention his own faith, although I have read his work both on politics (he is far left, by the way, not "liberal") and the arts. When he reviewed Ben Affleck's Dogma last year he delighted in its anti-Catholic bias.
As I mentioned, Ebert (Reinhold Timme) is of germanic descent, and may well have Catholic ancestors, but, given the overall cultural vibe he puts out, I would be amazed to learn that he is a believing, church-going Catholic.
"For God so loved the world ..."
If the billing of the film is anywhere near as it is in reality I believe it will humble this frail Christian. And just perhaps my faith will be strengthened for it.
I don't understand how so many who have not seen the film can be so critical of it.
Wow, is that true?
Kill Bill was a fantasy. It was so over the top that it was not serious violence. I mean one woman was fighting 60 people at one time. It was a spoof of itself. Remember the Russian roulette scene from the Deer Hunter? What about all the violence in Good Fellas? THOSE are examples of violence because they were so realistic. Just my opinion.
Knock yourself out. I am a Christian too and I am not going to see it.
What is this thing with putting the word Christians in quotation marks? Are you saying that someone who won't go see a movie, a MOVIE mind you, is not a good Christian? That's absurd.
All true. Ebert started out in the 70s as a screenwriter for famed B movie producer Russ Meyers. He wrote the screenplay for a few softporn flicks, including those two. When work dried up for him as a screenwriter, he turned to work as a film critic and eventually landed a gig at the Chicago Sun-Times.
A number of people killed themselves imitating the Deer Hunter scene. Don't see masses of critics decrying the violence in that scene.
They produce garbage. They've saturated the culture with it.
Gibson is the enemy because he will show the power of Western civilization and, by extension, the meaningless nature of a popular culture created by Leftists.
Move on as I won't pick up the bait.
Have a nice day.
David Ansen: "Any Given Sunday": [Stone's] most entertaining movie in years. He had no qualms about the violence in that one.
On "Kill Bill" Brilliant but shallow.
David Denby: On the opening scenes of "Saving Private Ryan:"one of the greatest, most appalling things ever done in movies.
He gave "Natural Born Killers" high marks.
Richard Corlis: He loved "The American President" You all should remember that homage to Clinton.
He gave "Kill Bill" an A+.
On "Natural Born Killers": "Explosive, delirious, daredevil fun!"
Peter Rainer of the New Yorker on "Kill Bill": "Heads are severed, arms lopped off, geysers of red spray the screen. And yet its all in (perverse) good fun.
Yup, no agendas here at all folks. (sarc)

'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article

Raeshaun Gaffney's first season at Virginia definitely did not go the way she had planned. After suffering a fractured tibia during her senior season in high school, she had been playing the waiting game, trying to let the bone heal on its own, but the healing process was not happening very quickly. Eventually, she opted for surgery to her shin and a redshirt season.
"My mom [Shauna Gaffney] told me everything happens for a reason," Gaffney said. "Whatever happens to you, you take it and just try to have the best outlook about it."
Sitting on the sidelines while the other two members of her recruiting class, Faith Randolph and Jaryn Garner, were getting time on the court was definitely "difficult", but it was also a growing process for the guard.
"I am not going to lie, it is definitely tough sitting out your first year," Gaffney said. "In a sense, though, I was kind of lucky because now I can handle everything better after seeing what Faith and Jaryn went through last year. In your first year, so much is thrown at you. It is a lot to take in. I did get to learn the plays and saw how the game was played and got to watch the interaction between players and coaches. It is a lot different playing than being on the bench, but it made me grow a lot."
Gaffney wasn't the alone sitting on the end of the bench last season. Gaffney spent a lot of time with senior guard Lexie Gerson, who also missed the 2012-13 season recovering from surgery, and not just during games. Both players would arrive at the training room almost every day at a little after 5:30 a.m. to meet trainer Stephanie Aronson to begin their treatments.
"That dynamic [between Lexie and me] was crazy," Gaffney laughed. "We would come charging in to the training room every morning going `Let's go. Let's knock this out!' We have so many inside jokes now. And after every game, we would go to Chipotle and just talk for hours. She helped me in a lot of ways. I didn't wish that for her [sitting out the season], but I was so happy that someone was there with me on the bench and constantly in my ear."
In addition to the help from Gerson, Aronson and strength & conditioning coach Jeremy Anderson, Gaffney has also received a huge boost from her father, Ray Gaffney.
"My dad, from the jump, probably all 18 years, has found a way to be part of my basketball experience," Gaffney said. "In high school, he wasn't my coach, but from the sidelines the whole team could hear what he was saying. He coached me until seventh grade school wise. He coached me AAU for a little bit, and then he stopped. He was like now you have to grow. You have to let other people teach you and let me be your dad."
Ray Gaffney has a great deal of experience to draw on to help guide his daughter having played four years of college basketball at Minnesota, advancing to the Sweet 16 with the Golden Gophers in his senior season. But it is off-court advice that Gaffney has found the most useful so far.
"My dad told me that you are going to have good days and you are going to have bad days," Gaffney said. "You just need to keep pushing through those days. You just keep taking knocks each day then it is going to come. If you keep working hard, if you keep putting in 100% each time you step on the floor, you are going to see results."
Gaffney is starting to see those results. She has appeared in all 13 games, scoring 48 points with 12 assists and 13 steals this year. But no moment was as sweet as her delayed opening day.
"The first time I put on the jersey, I got emotional," Gaffney admitted. "I was rooming with [Sarah Imovbioh] and she said `Oh my gosh. You are putting on the jersey.' We were in the hotel room and I just started crying. I was like, what is wrong with me? Here we go! Game time! Game time!"
Gaffney made her on-court debut that night at James Madison.
"When my name was called to go out there I was thinking, `Oh my gosh. I'm so excited!' But once I was in the game, I was like `Alright. Now I'm out here. Let's go.'"
She played 16 minutes in the game, scoring eight points. In her first three games, she played 15.3 minutes per game and averaged 8.0 points.
With her injury and the freshman jitters in the rearview mirror, Gaffney looks forward to getting to the heart of the season.
"I am very excited to start ACC play," Gaffney said. "When you play the best, you have to raise your level of play. You have to rise to the competition. I am so excited. I can't wait. I feel like we can really do a lot of stuff. We are putting a lot of things together and really coming together as a team. We are starting to click and rotations are going. I feel like a lot can happen."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Le Clos Medicis Paris
An Excellent Small Hotel
We stayed for 2 nights in Aug and were quite impressed. The room was very comfortable and a decnt size. We were upgraded to the top floor which had the bathroom in a loft area. Very nice upgrade. The staff were great and very helpful. Location is excellent. We got a very good rate through Expedia.
Charming hotel in the best arrondissment in Paris
I've stayed in quite a few mid-priced hotels in Paris (I'm an American living on London, so frequently take advantage of the Eurostar). The night before my latest weekend away was to begin, the hotel in which (I thought) I was booked couldn't find my reservation, and were full, so I was stuck at midnight trying to find a hotel in Paris, in July no less. Took a chance on the Hotel Le Clos Medicis and found it utterly charming. It is just off the Jardins de Luxembourg, which is a marvelous area. The staff were unvaryingly friendly, helpful, and charming. The rooms are small (but I've stayed in smaller ... small in Paris is the norm) but clean, simply but stylishly decorated, with floor to ceiling windows and the odd exposed beam. The courtyard is beautiful for either breakfast or a late-night cognac from the bar, draped in greenery and quiet and peaceful. It's a breeze to get to from Gare du Nord: three stops on the RER line. The rooms all have names, which is quirky and fun. I was especially pleased that the staff, when confronted with my rudimentary French, didn't immediately switch to English but allowed me to muddle along and spoke clearly and slowly for my benefit. The street that the hotel is on seems to be the Japanese restaurant street (which may explain the slightly Japanese flavour to the decor of the hotel), along with the odd Thai and Moroccan. We tried the Moroccan a couple of blocks down from the hotel and had a brilliant, authentic Moroccan meal. Without a doubt, this is my new weekend-away destination!
A great little hotel on the left bank!
An excellent left-bank hotel right in the center of the student quarter. Rooms are small, compared to U.S. standards, but I searched for months for a queen sized bed (two twins) on the garden-side, on a non-smoking floor in a hotel that didn't leave us pennisless and am I glad we found this wonderful little hotel.The hotel is clean and neat and the staff are very friendly. While I don't expect the Parisians to speak English, what made this a five star instead of a four was Pierre who actually spoke English with an American accent! But it wasn't his ability to speak our language that made the difference, but his willingness to share information about the French and French customs that made the difference.Some folks complained that this is too far from the metro and we thought they must have been jet lagged or confused. It is about a block away, though across three street crossings - so maybe it's the lazy folk complaining - not sure. All in all, a wonderful little hotel. Right next to the Jardin du Luxemborg.
Good Bang for the Buck
We stayed here through an Air France vacation package in October 2003.
We wanted a nice place (quiet, no bugs, clean sheets, a sense of Parisian style) without paying a lot of money. Of course, I'm the kind of lady who wouldn't think twice of staying at the George V, Crillon or Hotel Meurice - But my credit cards would! So for a quick 3 night long weekend, we wound up at the Clos Medicis. The staff was attentive and gracious, the breakfast filling (croissants, hard boiled eggs, fruits, yogurts), our room was quiet (5th floor, facing the courtyard as I had requested) but small, like most are. Everything was CLEAN, and the style was sort of Pottery Barn trendy. If you want to be pampered and have fresh flowers in your room, take long baths in a marble tub and lounge around your room feeling like a Princess, this is NOT the place for you. But it's also not Backpacker City (I'm pretty picky about where I stay). The clientele was a mixture of North Americans and Europeans who were all definitely middle to upper-middle class, but recognized a bargain. We are going back again this summer.
The best little hotel le clos medicis
this is a great hotel! the price is median, the atmosphere is pure parisien. the staff is friendly and helpful. they have a nice sitting room as you enter with a fireplace and bar and with comfy couches. it is one block from the luxemburg gardens and has a bakery, restaurant, drug store, etc. on the same street. it was surprisingly quiet given its location. It is also one block from blvd st michel and great cafes! the only drawback for americans would be the size of the elevator and room. but the room was well equiped and our room overlooked the courtyard. I am planning on returning in march.
A wonderful stay
We stayed at the hotel for a week in September and had a wonderful stay. We booked thru Webscapades who recommended the hotel and everything was as suggested. We had the top floor room with the dressing area and bathroom up a charming (tiny) winding staircase. Our room was spotless, attractive and overlooked the courtyard which was very quiet. The breakfast was delicious and a quiet way to start our day. The front desk could not have been more courteous ("Bonjour Madame") and assisted us in several bookings. The Luxembourg Gardens were a treat and the hotel's location was convenient for walking and bus and metro transportation.
Comfort and Convenience on the Left Bank
Very conveniently located on the Left Bank about 1 block from the Luxemburg metro stop. Our room was smallish, not unusually so for Europe though and certainly comfortable. The furniture is modern and the bed comfortable. It was on the top floor, overlooking the street and was quiet while we stayed there. The front desk staff was attentive, friendly and eager to please. A solid mid-range choice.
A great little hotel
Last year I stayed here on several trips. The hotel is idealy located and very comfortable. The staff speak English and are very courteous. I know Paris well and know that there are many hotels but when I return I hope to stay here.
Rude at hotel le clos medici Paris
I travel widely, and the service at this hotel was shoddy. When traveling, I always request a room overlooking the courtyard or interior of the building because I'm a light sleeper. For the hotel le clos Medici, I put this request in writing when making my reservation. The hotel never confirmed my reservation, which I found to be negligent. I followed up my reservation with a phone call, specifying once again that I would be arriving late in the evening, but I would like a courtyard room. The hotel staff confirmed this verbally.
When I arrived, all courtyard rooms were taken. The receptionist said he could do nothing for me. He was courteous, as was I, but I was disappointed that I was paying 180 euros for unreliable service. I went down the street, found a quiet room at the hotel Saint Paul, for 120 euros (including breakfast) and reserved it.
I returned to the clos Medici to retrieve my things and move. Not surprisingly, the hotel receptionist insisted that I pay for the night there, even though they had not come through with the room I'd requested. They became argumentative and began pointing at technicalities to backup their unattentive service.
I have been to Paris many times and have never had such a cold reception as this. I also found the room to be small and rather unimpressive in decor.
Basically, the staff is unattentive when dealing with any problems, so I would recommend the hotel St. Paul instead.

OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: 05-1988-NEW/BOS 2005-289
Wednesday, October 19, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A cross section of safety and health hazards at a Hornell, N.Y., manufacturer and refurbisher of railroad cars has resulted in $130,500 in fines from the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Alstom Transportation Inc. was cited for a total of 17 alleged willful and serious violations of workplace safety and health standards at its Alstom Drive plant. The citations result from an OSHA inspection begun April 18 under OSHA's site-specific targeting program which directs inspections to workplaces with illness and injury rates higher than the industry average.
Two willful citations, which account for $99,000 in fines, were issued for hazards involving large overhead cranes. The first citation concerned an employee exposed to falls of up to 45 feet due to his being required to climb over a crane wheel to access the crane's cab; the second citation addressed the company's failure to correct this and other unsafe conditions, including no load rating capacity and missing runway rail sweeps, identified during safety inspections of three cranes.
"Employees should not have been allowed to operate these cranes until these hazards had been fixed," said Chris R. Adams, OSHA's Syracuse area director. "Management knew these hazards existed, yet took no steps to correct them."
OSHA's inspection identified other hazards in the plant, including unguarded floors and runways; unguarded machinery; improper storage of compressed gas cylinders; storage of excess amounts of flammable liquids; electrical hazards; no eyewash where employees worked with corrosive liquids; employees exposed to excess levels of cadmium; and employees exposed to being struck by a high pressure water stream operating at 38,000 pounds per square inch. These resulted in the issuance of 15 serious citations and $31,500 in fines.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations. A serious citation is issued when death or serious physical harm are likely to result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The investigation was conducted by OSHA's area office located at 3300 Vickery Rd., North Syracuse; telephone: (315) 451-0808.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Observation of the day: owners of certain types of horses have a different perspective than the rest of us.
Most people, when asked about their equine involvement, speak in terms of "I have a horse." Arabian owners, however, will say "I have an Arabian." I hardly ever hear someone say "I have a Thoroughbred," or "I have a Quarter Horse."
This observation was first brought to my attention by my farrier. He sees a lot of horses, of course, and he said that a very large percentage of his clients who have Arabian horses will say "I have an Arabian," before they will say "I have a horse." Even when they are talking to non-horse people.
This usually isn't necessary, since Arabians are the easiest horse breed to distinguish from other breeds. Even some non-horse people can tell them apart. I've noticed that most non-horse people tend to lump all horses into 4 breeds – English, Western, Race Horse and Clydesdale.
I've been known to say "I have a Paint and a Walking Horse," when asked what type of horses I own. But for the most part, they are just "My Boys."
