Land Of The Free - Fall 2013Written By Carole Ottesen � Photography By Wayne Gibbens and W. Gary Smith
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN A founding member of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and her husband, an admirer of trees, bought 100 acres of former cornfield in Virginia�s hunt country that was overgrown with every kind of invasive exotic?
Beth and Wayne Gibbens worked hard. They named those acres Innisfree and inexorably and energetically restored the land, guided by an internal compass that pointed true native. Twenty years in the making, Innisfree is now a splendid patchwork of woodland, meadows and hedgerows, a masterpiece of landscape restoration.
Plan For The Best
A master plan for InnIsfree allowed Beth and Wayne Gibbens to visualize their entire 100 acres and break it down into manageable areas. linking all of the pieces with a mown path gave their plan cohesion.
Homeowners can benefit from creating a master plan for their properties, no matter how small they may be. A drawing, usually available for a small fee from the county office of land records, gives a bird�s-eye view of a property. It can be extremely helpful in laying out paths and drives and as a general guide to the lay of the land.
Use the plan to locate use areas such as doors, a garage, existing paths and the driveway as well as trees, outbuildings, the prevailing wind, patterns of sun and shade, and views. experimenting with changes � much easier to do on paper � demonstrates whether an alternate layout might work better than an existing one.
The Gibbens, who prior to moving to Innisfree lived in Washington, D.C., did the lion�s share of the work themselves. In the beginning, they made the one-hourplus drive back and forth from the city.
�We came out every weekend. We didn�t have any structure, so we�d work from dawn �til dusk,� remembers Beth. �At first we had to pick up all the rocks and get rid of all the poison ivy. A lot of people are shocked by [our doing the work ourselves].� But, points out Beth, �It�s our joy.�
�I�m really happy with it,� agrees Wayne. �Beth, who was a dear friend of Mrs. Johnson, was inspired by the First Lady to do what we did here. Then Beth went to the Cullowhee native plant seminar and heard Gary Smith talk.�
Landscape architect and artist W. Gary Smith�s reverence for the native landscape resonated with Beth. She was so impressed with his presentation that she immediately called her husband and said, �You�ve got to come down here!��
Wayne Gibbens joined his wife at the conference in Cullowhee, North Carolina. It was the beginning of a 15-year collaboration with Smith that has become a warm friendship. For his work on the project, landscape architect Gary Smith won a Gold Medal Award from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers in 2011.
The timing of that meeting in Cullowhee was propitious. The Gibbens had spent five years clearing the land and had begun to plant. They were ready for the next phase.
On Smith�s part, he says, �What really inspired me was their level of commitment.� Although most of Smith�s work is for larger botanic gardens, after speaking with the Gibbens at the conference he was intrigued.
�When working with native plants,� Smith says, �it�s crucial to have a certain degree of humility. They have that humility. They get it.�
It wasn�t until he actually visited Innisfree and saw the serpentine lines of horse fencing that flow over rolling hills that he understood the Gibbens� level of sophistication. When he saw how local craftsmen had built walls, paving and stonework �without detailed construction drawings� and how local stone was used to complement historic walls, he says, �I felt a spontaneous connection with them.�
The couple had already begun planting trees. It had been a great labor of love. �Before we had a well, we would walk down to our pond and carry back water. We watered the trees � everything � by hand. When Gary came, he said, �Well, the good news is they�re just perfect. The bad news is, except for one. You�ve got to move it.�� Having to move one of those precious trees was hard to hear, says Beth. Nevertheless, they did it and the collaboration took off.
�Gary helped us,� says Beth. �He drew us a plan and said in the next 50 years we should follow it.� The plan is simple and ingenious. It connects the property�s various destinations with a meandering mown path nicknamed �the Daily Jaunt.� Consulting ecologist Jeff Wolinski provided advice and installed many of the meadows in pursuit of the plan.
�We named every place that we�d walk to. The woods in the back are the Confederate Woods. We had the Animal Cemetery. Everything has a name.� Among others are �the Scrim,� a beautiful hedgerow, and �Groundhog Hill.�
Designating these separate locales broke the property into manageable entities, each with a separate character that dictated its specific landscape treatment. Joining all together, the mowed path through 99.9 percent native wildflowers like asters and sunflowers and grasses gives the property lyrical cohesion. The Gibbens planted thousands of woody plants, native grasses and wildflowers �with their own hands,� says Smith.
A ride along the Daily Jaunt is like being on safari. Beth tosses off the names of all the plants in botanic Latin: Asclepias syriaca, Amelanchier, Silphium perfoliatum, Camassia scilloides. Overhead, singing birds swoop; butterflies hover over coneflowers; a groundhog scurries to his hole and a doe keeps a wary eye out while a small herd melts into the trees. Here and there, a tree is allowed to remain where it fell, offering habitat to birds and insects. One prized tree is a gorgeous living Magnolia virginiana.
�The Smithsonian ran a program last year called �Living Landscape.� They had people coming out to monitor bees and butterflies,� says Beth. �We had all eight native Virginia bees and a lot of non-native bees.�
The hedgerows (of oakleaf hydrangea [Hydrangea quercifolia] in one spot) and the meadows can look �kind of unkempt to people who don�t appreciate what we�re doing,� says Wayne. A neighbor offered �to come over and �Bush Hog�� close to the fences,� laughs Wayne. �They don�t get it,� he jokes. �You would be amazed at how much time and how much money it takes to make it look like I don�t give a damn!�
�The single most difficult part about doing what we�re doing,� he adds, �is to let nature takes its course. If you do that literally, then tree-of-heaven takes over. How you let things go back to nature and still control the invasive non-native things is a constant struggle.�
Happily, the Gibbens are persevering. Innisfree, though named for a beloved Irish thoroughbred horse, recalls Yeats� poem �Lake Isle of Innisfree,� a utopian landscape with a �bee-loud glade,� �where the cricket sings� and evenings are �full of linnet�s wings.�
Carole Ottesen is author of the horticultural mystery �Dying for the Chistmas Rose.�

This little book Trading Options at Expiration: Strategies and Models for Winning the Endgame, by Jeff Augen (FT Press, 2009) is tightly packed into 141 pages of highly technical analysis and explanation. It is Mr. Augen's third book on options, the first two being "The Volatility Edge in Options Trading" and "The Option Trader Workbook." They are all relatively dense books and are not easily accessible to the weekend reader who is anxious to learn how to make money trading options. "Trading Options at Expiration" is a good book for those who are serious options traders and want to explore other strategies with which he or she is not totally familiar.
The book is about "trading" and not about "investing". It is about taking advantage of market inefficiencies to make money. To quote the author, "expiration trading focuses only on the underlying mathematics. It does not rely on any financial predictions, company results, or market direction." It is not an easy thing to do:
"Trading subtle price distortions in the options market is a complex affair that requires an unusual blend of pricing knowledge and day trading skill. Expiration trading is a mathematical game distinctly different from stock picking."
Since equity and index options expire on the third Friday of every month, expiration trading is concentrated at a specific time each month. In fact, expiration trading is concentrated in the final hours of each expiration cycle and is dominated by "unusual market forces and price distortions." Why do these irregularities occur? Because there is a "breakdown of traditional option pricing calculations that depend on volatility and time decay to fairly represent risk," Augen says. In other words, mispricing of an option can take place during the time leading up to the expiration of the option contract.
According to Augen, returns can be substantial: "Expiration trading provides enormous opportunities that scale with the amount of time and effort an investor is willing to spend." But it is not easy. To follow the author's approach you have to have access to a huge and accurate database of stock and option prices. You must possess sufficient computer skills, and being able to program can be very beneficial. And you cannot consider this to be a part-time occupation; you must be a dedicated and disciplined practitioner of options trading. Augen has a professional background in computers and computer programming as well as experience in trading options.
After introducing his subject in the first chapter (there are only three chapters), Augen immediately gets into the data requirements of expiration trading. These requirements are rather significant and boil down to getting minute-by-minute data on a vast number of stocks and options. There are providers of such information. However, even though the amount of information needed is huge, adequate databases can be built and customized by many investors themselves "with little effort and no programming using the capabilities of Microsoft Excel."
In chapter one, Mr. Augen explains the mechanics of "Expiration Pricing Dynamics" so that one understands how the price distortions he talks about can occur. With this information in hand, one can move to chapter two where the author describes how one works with statistical models to pick candidates and identify opportunities in which trading might take place. One must prepare for the expiration day by developing an understanding for each situation how the options pricing models perform as the time period before expiration collapses. In chapter three, Augen presents a variety of expiration-specific trading strategies. These strategies focus primarily on different time frames as an option moves toward the point at which it expires.
This book is a wonderful example of how market inefficiencies are identified and how strategies are then created to take advantage of the opportunities that have resulted from the inefficiencies. The author is blunt enough to state up front that his whole effort is related to "price distortions" that arise due to mathematical models of options pricing and how these models break down as the time of expiration approaches. There is nothing magical about this approach, nothing connected with value or management or investment. The effort is solely one of trading based upon market imperfections.
The downside of finding inefficiencies like these and then developing strategies to take advantage of the opportunities they present is that the process leads to the greater efficiency of the market and the reduction or elimination of the opportunity. Historically, we see this process taking place over and over again. The process is captured in the concept of "The Law of One Price," or the "no arbitrage" condition where it is argued that the movement to take advantage of price distortions eliminates the price distortions.
This is why most traders do not want to divulge the types of transactions they are involved in. The people at Long Term Capital Management were adamant about keeping quiet concerning what they did because, they said, that if they provided information on what they did, everyone else would do it and the opportunities for gain would disappear. In most cases, many people do catch on to what these arbitragers are doing and they copy them, and the opportunities go away.
Of course, a corollary to this is that if everyone is in on the same transactions at the same time they will generally depart the transactions at the same time should the transactions not go well. This, of course, adds to the risk of engaging in such transactions.
One interesting comment I have seen on this book is that a reviewer of the book found it interesting that Mr. Augen provided the information he did and the strategies he has worked with. Since the strategies were apparently successful, the reviewer wondered why the author would release them because this would result in other people making money using the strategies but would bring an end to the price distortions upon which the strategies were based. Point well taken!
This is an interesting book, not only in terms of learning about an opportunity to make money in trading options, but also for the insight the author provides us into the process of finding such opportunities and inventing techniques to profit from them. This book describes how financial innovation takes place and helps us to understand why financial innovation will not be eliminated through any regulation that results from the passing financial storm.

Product Attributes: Perfect for any Veterinary Office! This removable, reusable, and dry erasable diagram is great for educating dog owners on their Pets Muscular System.
Suggested Uses: The Dog Muscular System is perfect for reporting findings and procedural explanations. This educational tool will empower students and give educators the tools to instill confidence and trust. People of all ages benefit from visual learning. Unlike an everyday anatomy poster, the dry erase capability of this The Dog Muscular System allows students to identify the muscles within the body of the dog, and veterinarians to explain procedures with pet owners on a case by case basis. These bold, over sized anatomical images can adorn any lab area, or class room setting, and will inspire and educate.
Looking for More Medical Images? If you would like to see more medical images, please visit BodyPartChart.com.
What It's Made Of: This Fathead Medical Image is a high definition wall graphic made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured it will last and remain vibrant. If you need to move your decal, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. All of our Anatomical Images are also dry erase, meaning they're perfect for personalized patient consultations and educational opportunities.
Where To Stick It: Fathead Medical Images are designed for clean, smooth, climate-controlled interior surfaces such as painted drywall, glass, metal and sanded wood (without lacquer). They are not well suited to textured or bumpy surfaces and you need to wait 30 days before applying your decal to a freshly painted surface. Unpainted drywall, brick, cinder block and porous textured paneling are NOT recommended. To be clear, Fathead Medical Images are not made for outdoor use. Lastly, you don't want the decal to stick to itself because it will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to get help with the larger images.
Welcome to Fathead Nation!

Kanye's Theory on Gay-By-Association
"If a black man from Chicago was taught to stand far away from gay people because he didn't want to be accused of being gay. What would happen if he'd run into a gay man? What's the talk? What would he learn, what would I learn? I learned that people in Chicago were wrong and I had been an asshole all along." — Kanye West continues the discussion inside his head about sexuality [AHN]
Photo: Bauer-Griffin
"I feel good about the music I make. God chose me. He made a path for me. I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live."
and sayings like these makes me wish he dies a horrible death pretty soon
I'm shocked.
This is one of the more nuanced comments that have ever come out of his mouth. This talks of experience and not, as he had been doing previously, of an attempt to make nice with the gays by pigeonholing us into stereotypes. I commend him (this time)!
Kanye, just come on up and do a little concert for Market Days in August, sheesh…
At least he is trying. I think it is great that in his own garbled way he continues to talk about the stupidity of homophobia. Boy you are damned if you do damned if you don't at least someone in hip-hop is taking a stand against hate speech and fear of gays.
This guy is ridiculous. Why do we still pay attention to a thing he says?
I give him credit for trying to have an honest dialogue. He's been saying for years that homophobia is rampant in hip hop and has go to, and I (think) admitted that a cousin of his came out awhile back and it caused him to challenge his own homophobia.
Kanye is a bit of a nut but I think it means he says things that other people wouldn't. It's really remarkable we have a mainstream hip hop star who even wants to talk about these things so candidly.
yeah, but Common has been doing this ever since got with Serena Williams and his statements have been far more articulate than Kayne's.
I just just imagine Kanye's Mom (may she RIP)going old school on him by giving him a slap on the back of his head and telling him, "Boy, talk like you got some sense."
he's straight,come on the awkward comment duh
hell i'll take it,believe it or not he is helping my black hetro brothers to not be so judgmental,so i give him props.hip hop,dub,dancehall,soca was once pushing against him but changes are happening ,im seeing it with my own eyes
Um, just a question, but if he were white wouldn't we all consider him to be simply a fucking arsehole and wanker?
@Tallskin: No he would still be a straight awkwardly trying to tell other straight guys that homophobia is stupid.
I think he's having a breakdown cause he wants to come out…I'm not being snarky, just putting the pieces together!
Thats true but he's still odious…
Kanye may not be incredibly eloquent when he's not rapping, but that doesn't change the sentiment he's expressing. Love him or hate him, he's one of our allies, in a field where we need to happy about having any we can get. I love Kanye, and I am proud to call him an ally. People who want to nitpick and belittle his speaking talents are looking a gift horse in the mouth, and it's ludicrous and uncalled-for.
I mean, Donda West was the chairwoman of a university English Department. Kanye was taught to speak much more articulately than he lets on.
Why do people think all hip hop guys are ghetto????!
They aren't!
P-Diddy went to private school and West went to art school..
I guess that's the good thing about being black….you can pretend to be more ghetto..
Heck, people are calling Barack O African American when he is actually Black African and White American….
@John from England(used to be just John but there are other John's):
Yeah, Will Smith refused to play that whole "ghetto" game and he was demonized for not "keeping it real."
@John from England(used to be just John but there are other John's): I think questioning the sexuality of every hip-hop artist who dares to stand up to the community on it's take on homophobia and is to me very counter-productive. I mean we complain hip-hop is homophobic (why does no one every complain about reggae or for that matter country) but when a hip-hop artists isn't homophobic that makes them gay? It makes no sense to me. I'm sure what pieces you are putting together but I live in LA have seen him around at clubs and in beverly hilss shopping that man is not gay.
they are jealous and uncomfortable in the face of his cultural prominence.
they learned it from their parents.
meanwhile, they glorify b. spears.
Why is this guy so famous anyway? All know about him is what I've seen and heard on awards shows and SNL, but I don't think he's that great or spectacular. Nothing he's done is new or exiting, it's all been done before. I just ignore him and hope he'll just go away soon.
good on kanye for trying to figure this out
he has a good soul…
@mb00: Go onto to itunes and listen to his most popular song. Many well respected musicians consider him a musical genius. He does have a musical gift. You have probably heard some of his songs already in TV shows or movies.
i meant songs
musical genius… can you really mention him on the same page with mozart?
@Chitown Kev – Someone is trying to ban you. NOOOOOOOOOO. I like your comments most of the time. R u serious?
Nah, I just saw the headline, "Mormons in Illinois" this morning and went ballistic on that thread. Then to come and read this. I didn't even have a chance to get to the transvestite thugs in NYC story (I lived in NYC in 86-87 and I knew a few "transvestite thugs" then) I was just joking with Japhy and Dave that all my buttons were being pushed today.
No. We'd be fawning over them, proclaiming their "hotness," and prattling on about how "enlightened" they were.
@buttmunch: I would argue that there are different qualifying levels of "genius"… not everyone can or will be a Mozart, but I think in terms of his musical innovation, he has really pushed boundaries and is one of the prominent musical influences of the 21st century. Also, he's not afraid to alienate a small base of his audience to stand up for what he believes in, which makes him a-ok in my book. Wish the ego could deflate a little bit, but then again, we wouldn't be blessed with all of those amazingly ridiculous soundbytes.
Sheesh! The guy is trying! Give him props for that. Point me out a member of Westboro who even tries to be open minded. Point me out a Republican (Log Cabinettes included) who reflected on what it's like to be the outsider.

I just call him Emperor Bush. Nobody argues when I criticize then. On the other hand, Romney gave away his inheritance.
When I got here we owed $10.626T now it's $16T, not my fault, when I took office gas was $1.86 now's it's $3.86, when I got here in '09 there was more drilling on public land and less food stamps users, all Bush 43's fault, don't look at me I spent $800 B to keep my union backers in states jobs working. I gave GM and Chrysler $50B for the UAW jobs, and what happened? GM is building Caddys in China and Jeep is too, It's Bush's fault.
Davies is right.
But the zeitgeist is showing that the GOP has been broken and you can't reconcile with a broken party. Now the president needs to do the hard work of governing in the absence of reasonable and useful opposition.
The economy has been going up ever since Obama passed his stimulus. Not as fast as it should be, but not as slow as if the GOP had gotten their way. I don't get the cartoon.
What difference does is make who did the harm? (sob) What we need to do now is find out who did the harm and how we can prevent if from happening again.

Nice tour, lots of food and calories. A little less on the bread, pastries and maybe a couple of bites of different Italian foods would have been better. The XOX Truffles was a great find! The Tour Guide 'Jim' had lots of good stories as he grew up in North Beach and is a native San Franciscan. Overall it was a fun experience even though I have been to North Beach many times as a San Francisco resident. I would send out of town visitors on the tour.

Novell will buy Callisto Software, which develops management solutions for mobile devices, in an effort to win market share in the wireless management space. The acquisition is valued at under $10m (£7m), said a Novell spokesman.
Novell will develop a mobile version of its ZENworks management solution, which will be called ZENworks for Handhelds.
The deal follows the company's corporate restructuring and 1,400 job cuts earlier in November.
"The move towards mobile access and wireless parallels Novell's strategy to tie all types of networks into one Net, and provide users access to the information they need, when they need it," said Brad Anderson, business unit manager for Novell ZENworks.
"The Callisto acquisition gives us mobile and wireless device management technologies to increase Novell's remote and mobile offerings, such as the anytime, anywhere access to information currently provided by Novell iFolder and GroupWise Wireless," he added.
Novell said Callisto's mobile technologies would allow it to deliver end-to-end management tools. The company also promised that ZENworks for Handhelds would let network administrators reduce management costs and give users access to multiple devices.
Further details on the ZENworks for Handhelds initiative are expected early in 2002.
Novell also announced Secure Partner Portal, which is designed to help companies build secure business relationships over the Internet. The portal builds on Novell's eDirectory identity management technology and uses BEA Systems' WebLogic E-Business Platform as the underlying infrastructure.
The portal also takes advantage of services from e-business integration company Cambridge Technology Partners, which Novell acquired in July.
"Companies need ways not just to manage partner relationships, but to expand them," said Martin Deise, Novell's senior vice-president of solutions. "Paramount to this is the ability to create a trusted environment, with distributed administration, that increases partner loyalty while reducing costs for all parties."

Bon Rappetite
Illustration by Erik S. Peterson/Wikimedia Commons
We're in the habit of writing about our favorite real restaurants: places with actual locations, chefs who exist, and food that can be metabolized to generate energy for your body. But sometimes, a fake restaurant deserves some love, too.
Bon Rappetite seems to be a web design stunt by a social media business called Baby Robot Industries, but that doesn't stop it from being a treasure trove of puns. Its menu includes:
- Roastface Killah ("served with au jus and fishscale")
- Ol' Dirty Custard
- Wu Tang Clams
- L'il Wangz
and, maybe best of all:
- Pone Thugs & Hominy
The website suggests relaxing with their signature cocktail, "Long Island Ice-T," or eating "so many shrimp you get iodine poisoning in our relaxing dining area." Upcoming events include "Hot Tub Night," with "eight person hot tub tables" and "Freestyle Dining & Rap Battle Every Monday in August."
The website says the restaurant's in Atlanta, but we wouldn't recommend going, since the address listed is clearly just a house. But if you do decide to check it out, pay attention to their "trademarked" slogan: "One thing's for sure, you better bring your rappetite."

Jesus Christ! You're acting like one of those Christians
Connections Journal
"He drew a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle that took him in!"
– Edwin Markham
The room was filled with Pagans, Witches and a few Asatru. The discussion had flowed from "what is evil?" to "is suicide ethical?" and many other esoteric and thoughtful topics. Finally, somehow, we started debating congregational Witchcraft. In the midst of the many pros and cons of the subject, a young man stood up and declared that "if they don't want to join a coven like the rest of us, they should give up Paganism and go back to being a Christian."
An embarrassed hush fell over the room. He had accused the pro-congregational folks of the ultimate Pagan sin, of being like – shudder – a Christian.
Sometimes we are so used to having the circle drawn to leave us out, we too join in the drawing of boundaries. Where does Christianity stop and Paganism take up? Is there no such thing as a congregational Witch? What other practices of Christians are forbidden to Pagans, so as not to offend Pagan Purists
Human Needs, or Christian Needs?
One of the biggest errors we make as religious members of the Wiccan faith, is to assume that virtues of our members are present solely because of our choice of religion. It is in our worldview to believe that all people are Children of the Gods, even if they do not refer to themselves in that way. We know that they hold within themselves the divine spark that is part of all that is – Nature, Gaia, The Gods, The Lord and the Lady – however we choose to name it.
In order to address the issue of whether or not we are imitating other religions, we must first see what is intrinsic to human nature. We must ask "Why do humans gather together?" Abraham Maslow (1908 – 1970) spent years working out a theory that addressed not just that question, but which seems also to address our broader issue concerning coven, congregations and Witches, oh my! Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is widely used and probably the most popular theory of management in recent time. Although there may be flaws, it works beautifully as an organizing tool to examine our motivation and choices. He believed that each person has five categories of needs, which we will break down into rather broad categories
Physiological needs
First and most basic are physiological needs, such as food, shelter, drink, rest, etc. When those are present and satisfied, we then have time and energy to look to the next level of needs
Safety needs are met when a person is reasonably assured that they are not in immediate danger of life and limb. The concept can also extend to psychological safety. When we are comfortable that we have protection from danger, and have obtained security and order, we can turn our attention and energy to other types of issues. Pagans believe in a personal responsibility for providing safety within their home and communities. At many festivals and gatherings, both Pagan and Society for Creative Anachronism, knives are a common feature in costuming, especially for women. Carrying knives may or may not reflect an actual need, but are always a reminder and symbol of personal power and responsibility.
Safety also means safeguarding personal rights in society. Many of us have faced legal discrimination because of our beliefs and there isn't much an individual, coven, or even church can do. So to fulfill our social safety needs we need larger organizations through which we can influence our representatives. We already have many organizations doing such work – the Lady Liberty League, the Military Pagan Organization to name a couple. Pagan Organizations of this type tend to be reactive rather than pre-emptive. Recently there has been a large push by Congressman Bob Barr and Senator Strom Thurman to ban Wiccan worship on military bases. This type of religious discrimination would be simple if we were still small scattered groups of autonomous covens, but as we gather into larger groups and organizations we also multiply our political influence, making it much harder for evangelical politicians to write new legislation through which they would enforce their personal bigotry.
When safety needs are met and stable, we move on to other issues.
Typically, those issues will now concern themselves with predictable environment, which I translate to mean social, or inclusion in community. These needs include community membership, social acceptance, giving and receiving love and affection. These are not trivial issues. Such social acceptance offers comfort, sexual access, predictable futures, good homes for our children. And, again, we are talking about moving beyond the first level of survival to a point where we have time to think about our world, our origins, what it all means, and why are we here. At this point questions arise, we look for those with answers, and we begin to develop the philosophy of religion to respond to these inquiries.
Social acceptance is one of the main reasons Pagans gather. I was a practicing Witch for over three years before I met another person involved in Wicca. Recently I attended a Unitarian Universalist Church service were they called the directions and called on the Lady and Lord to bless the service and congregation. I honestly did not expect to see such a service in my lifetime.
Such mainstream services provide social acceptance both of the individual within the congregation, the religion, and its concepts within the wider culture. The larger congregational gatherings also provide another ladder of hierarchy benefit, that of the giving and receiving love and affection. Many of the covens I know frown on or ban new romantic relationships between members of the coven. A coven is such an emotionally intimate group, new romantic relationships would first cause a focus of attention between those involved, to the detriment of the relationships with the rest of the coven, and sometimes emotional extremes as the relationship progresses can be very distracting. If the relationship proves unsuccessful, it can cause enough strife to doom the coven as a working group. A coven is a very small social equation, and one or two people can overset its equilibrium.
A congregation's larger group dynamic can help defuse the tensions of romantic relationships and allow a much wider selection of potential mates.
Ego Needs
If the social issues are stable, we then have the urge, the time, and the opportunity to attempt to become recognized within our community, by our peers, family and friends. This is the time within any group of people that we begin to see structures form which allow for efficient organization and specialization within a social group or community. Leaders arise, and structures and standards – formal or informal – develop based on the cultural norms of that group. Finally, people have enough information and predictability on safety and social standards, to know how to succeed, what honor consists of, what the community will value and recognize as individual contributions and achievements.
A sad consequence of our modern consumer society is that achievement and self-esteem are usually measured in dollars, not in service to others. The modern Pagan uses money as a tool, not an end in and of itself. The next rung of our ladder, that of self confidence, respect and social status are gained in Pagandom by service to our community. By community we don't just mean the folks across the street or in our town. By community we mean the web of life that supports and nurtures us.
As we serve our community, we, in turn receive support from community. As we contribute our talents, we build self-confidence. As we allow others to contribute their talents to us, we build trust and respect.
All of these phases of life situations culminate to provide an environment where people can not simply expect to survive, but actually become successful. Although not an absolute, our lower needs, food, safety, love, need to be at least partially met before we can attempt to meet our ultimate, self-actualization needs. We will move in and out of our particular levels of focus as these hungers are satisfied. For example: if you know you are a excellent leader, you may no longer focus on community recognition and support, but decide to become a hermit in order to explore your mystical or spiritual aspects.
For those who are fortunate and thoughtful, this culmination of physical, social, ego will weave together in their quest for understanding to provide that ultimate experience – the mystical contact with something larger that ourselves, or our local identity. And that self becomes awakened to the greater presence which is the infinite mystery. Some call it Goddess, some call it the Divine, others see it simply as that force which binds reality and sparks existence. To touch this, to interweave it is to know oneself as enmeshed and immersed within the whole of life. In self-actualization, people feel the need for pushing beyond perceived boundaries to accomplish and claim our deepest desires. In Wicca, self-actualization might mean becoming aware and deeply enmeshed in the Lady and Lord, and web of life on earth
For the Pagan, to be self-actualized is to be fully and completely aware of your place in the web of life. To be self-actualized, is to have made your choices of who and what you are. True freedom can only come once those choices are made and acted upon. Each of us is a work in progress
Bringing it all together
So, are we "just like them damned Christians"? We share much in common with all the tribes of Earth – animal, plant and human. There is no one answer.
Rather, let us say, that we are all human, molding ourselves towards our individual visions of completeness, and we choose through the vision and generosity of our many gifts to share and succor other humans on their path through the common needs of all people.
Every person who gathers as coven or congregation has a variety of needs. Does a Wiccan Church or Coven have any responsibility to help fulfill these needs that allow us to move from one situation to the next level of opportunity? Yes. We are all Children of the Goddess and God. If we have it to share, would it not be a travesty to deny our neighbors the basic needs of life while our extra goods and talents lay wasting?
Pagans fiercely believe that each and every one of us is divinity incarnate. And with a belief system that honors each individual for their spiritual and sacred attributes, for their unique contributions and paths, it would be unseemly to categorize, generalize, or systemize who qualifies for our help. If thou art Goddess, thou art God, then thou wouldst surely know if you needed a pound of flour and a couple eggs.
Pagans value self-reliance and self-dependence. These are fundamental Pagan principals. We believe in community values that include helping those in times of need. Long before Christianity, Pagans had organized charities, and the tradition continues to this day. However, there is the issue of how to help.
Pagan church, coven or individual gladly helps with basic needs. There are many Pagan food banks around the country. Many a Pagan found someone a couch or a bed for the night. Most of us share job openings when asked. But more importantly, Pagans, with their deep belief in self-reliance and independence, sponsor efforts that help an individual until they can provide for themselves. The emphasis is on empowerment, so that success continues in the absence of outside contributions. Like any good parent, we know we will be most successful when that young person can stand on their own two feet, say, "No, thank you. I can do it myself." and then moves on to contribute to others when the need arises.
The main difference Pagan assistance offers, is that Pagans do not attempt to use such aid as a wedge into someone's personal theology. We do not attempt to convert or evangelize those we assist. We do not attach significance to the adversity which brought someone to this place, and we do not attempt to use their misfortune to prove their philosophical or religious choices are wrong. Now, we will all endlessly discuss any and all possibilities if invited to, but that is the nature of a people who come to a religion through reading and study. We have lots of ideas, theories and opinions, and we will gladly chat for hours. However, we do not see that anyone must agree with our conclusions, simply because those conclusions suit our needs and preferences The average Pagan or Witch doesn't worry, nor care, if a person believes in anything or nothing, as long as they allow others to pursue their own choices freely.
Thus the Pagan truly offers a gift – no strings attached, no conditions. So, to that extent, Pagans are also extremely open-handed. We believe in a philosophy which celebrates the joy and mystery of life. We have received much, and are glad to share. That energy and path will continue and be strengthened through our joy and gifts.
Just like them?
We are not a copy, poor or otherwise, of any other group or religion on the planet. And such complaints as are sometimes voiced, are the concerns of those folks once so entrenched in their former religious hierarchies that they feared never to escape to a place of celebration and joy. They guard newly gained joy and truth through a defensiveness that has not yet developed the serenity of long-held freedom. They may be fierce now, but will later understand tolerance when the fear subsides. Pagans are human, and some must heal of earlier chafes and constraints.
Keep it Simple
Every organization that ministers to the needs of people follows certain obvious paths. As we can tell, religion does not dictate the needs of people, but rather religious organizations attempt to provide for those needs, and offer opportunities to attain greater recognition and achievement through its organizational structure.
To that end, all ministries offer the greatest gifts they have – time, energy, resources and counseling. While our messages and methods may differ, our essential aim is the same. And all such gifts are honorable contributions to the body, mind and spirit.

Kansas: No action taken
Duke: "Still investigating"
UCLA: No action taken
Memphis: Loss of 38 games, cash, and forfeiture of Final Four banner.
I'd call that hammered.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."

"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."

When all is said and done more is said than done.
If Rose was ruled ineligible after the fact (and he was-- Memphis wasn't told his scores were being questioned until after the school year was over in late May) and they should be punished for wrong-doing, why not UCLA?
Rose allegedly committed academic fraud (or someone did it for him). So did Arthur. Again, I don't see the difference there. Academic fraud is academic fraud and the NCAA Handbook explains it as a violation. (Paraphrasing here-- any fraudulent alteration in a prospective student-athlete's transcript will result in that student-athlete losing eligibility at all NCAA charter schools)
You're not supposed to be able to pick and choose which rules you're going to enforce against which programs. That's patently unfair.
I'm just asking the NCAA to either be 1) fair, or, 2) use common sense.

Great article about Patrick Patterson! It's worth your time to read.
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The lights inside Rupp Arena had been off for 20 minutes, but Patrick Patterson wasn't ready to leave.
Not as long as there were still pictures to take, he said. Not as long as there were autographs to sign and fans to meet – especially the 4-year-old who had waited more than an hour after the game to talk to her favorite Kentucky basketball player.
As Patterson reached over the rail to sign the girl's program, a security guard grabbed him by the arm and directed him toward the tunnel. Rupp Arena was officially closed, the man announced. It was time for everyone to leave.
Two years later, Patterson still remembers how he felt as the girl dropped her pen, wrapped her arms around her father's leg and began to sob.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Is Patterson the most loved player in UK history? In my neck of the woods, he's right up there. Great kid with a heart of gold and great numbers. I'd say he's top five, all time, anyway, with King Rex, Macy, Mashburn, and either Bowie or Hayes.
Though, thinking back, no one touches the hysteria that was Rex Chapman. I went to a HS State Finals. Two minutes left in regulation, I had to pee. Went and there was Rex right next to me. Walked out the door and there had to be 100 really, really cute high school girls. (I was in high school at the time.)
It had to have been good to be the king.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
I would think you would have to win an NCAA tournament game to make the most beloved list at UK, though he should take care of that this year. I would say Macy, Rex, Givens, Mash and the 4 seniors from the 92 team would be at the top of most lists.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
A couple of points on Wall after watching BBM last night.
The kid is super super fast as advertised. Also...any possibilty a kid this "good" would be a stuck up-rather be in pro's- type kid was all put aside when I seen him introduced.
He actually appeared to be having the most fun during the intro's, smiling and cutting up with crowd and almost always had a smile on face during the scrimmage.
So it appears Wall has a great attitude to go along with exceptional ability.
Just something to get you woke up this morning.
Kyrie Irving is set to announce today on ESPNU, and all indications are that it will be for the Dukies. Let Dick Vitale and Billy Packer rejoice.
Losing Kyrie really doesn't bother me. You win some (Wall) and you lose some (Irving). I have to think we are in pretty good with both Josh Selby and Brandon Knight.
Also, Tobias Harris is going to make his decision on November 18th(?). With Youcabu picking Villanova last night, UK will likely be 0-2 on Madness visitors. Hopefully Harris and Gilchrist can break the streak.
I'm not worried about losing those two recruits myself, I don't mean to take away from Youcabu and Irving, but the real prizes in the class are Gilchrist and Harris, and UK stands better with them than they did the others. If they manage not land either of those, I will be sorely disappointed. I think there are some concerns that've come up with character stuff on Selby, and it may not be a bad thing if he committed somewhere else, though UK is his preferred school.
Looks like a couple of UK recruits are - surprise, surprise - facing eligibility issues.

What Was Ronald Reagan Like In Bed?
A year before he made the immortal Bedtime for Bonzo (above), Ronald Reagan knew when it was bedtime for Piper Laurie.
He and the starlet appeared together in the 1950 romantic comedy Louisa, during the making of which the future prez taunted her with his manly charms and other attributes.
After filming was completed, the B-actor, aged 40, went all the way with Piper, 18, but it wasn't pretty.
Writes Piper in her new memoir:
Upcoming Events
"The actual intimacy with Ronnie was without grace."
He was more than competent sexually, she writes, but "he was also a bit of a show-off.
"He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been 'ardent.' It was 40 minutes.
"And he told me how much the condom cost. In all fairness, I suppose that was to reassure me."
Charmed, I'm sure.
But Ronnie's worst offense was to tell Piper there was something wrong with her because she hadn't had lots and lots of orgasms in that 40 minutes. ("You've got to see a doctor about your abnormality.")
He also suggested that a medical professional could tell her why it hurt so much at first.
Silly Ronnie. She was a virgin!
Ronnie's sexual coldness surfaced again many years later when he ignored the AIDS plague until he was shamed into mentioning it!
But I guess that's off-topic.

Tom Ford Lip Color Matte ($50.00 for 0.10 oz.) debuted late last year, and there are six shades that are permanent to the Tom Ford range. They're described as a "velvet matte" lipstick that delivers "richly pigmented hues." They're not an ultra-matte, so they are more forgiving, and the texture is lightweight, velvety, and creamy enough that there's no dragging or tugging at the lips. You'll notice that the edges of the lip color are rather crisp, and this can be hard to achieve without a lip brush with drier formulations. All three shades were easy to apply, richly pigmented, longer-wearing, and comfortable to wear. The formula is vanilla-scented but had no discernible taste.Read Full Review
NARS Reckless Blush
NARS Reckless Blush ($30.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a "sheer pink shimmer." It's a very light, pink-tinged beige with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. Bobbi Brown Pink Glow (LE, $45.00) is darker, warmer. Cle de Peau Delicate Pink (14) (P, $55.00) is cooler-toned. Urban Decay Streak Highlighter (P) is pinker. Urban Decay Highlighter (P) is pinker. NARS Devotee (LE, $29.00) is a smidgen warmer. Urban Decay Luminous (P, $29.00) is lighter. Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight (P, $44.00) is warmer, less shimmery. MAC Light Sunshine (LE, $24.00) is less shimmery. Chanel Poudre Signee de Chanel Illuminating Powder (LE, $68.00) is pinker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.Read Full Review
MAC Violetwink Eyeshadow Palette
MAC Violetwink Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a purple-themed palette with six shades, one of which is available individually, while four others are repromotes. It was a good palette overall with no big misses but no big home runs either. With MAC's recent palettes, often shades that seem so-so swatched tend to look and apply better on the lid. All six shades lasted at least eight hours on me before fading, which is always nice to see.Read Full Review
MAC x Toledos Lipglasses
MAC Barbecue Lipglass ($16.50 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a "vivid orange red." It's a brightened, medium coral-orange with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that settled slightly into lip lines but goes on fairly evenly. It wore well for four hours on me. See comparison swatches / view dupes.Read Full Review
NARS Valhalla Eyeshadow
NARS Valhalla Eyeshadow ($25.00 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a "soft shimmering pink peach." It's a pop of golden peach with a frosted sheen. It doesn't read very pink against my skin tone, but it might if you have stronger pink undertones (though even in the pan, it seems more peach thank pink). Marc Jacobs Beauty The Enigma #7 (P) is darker. Tarte Rose Champagne (LE) is similar. bareMinerals Ball Gown (V2) (P) is yellower. Make Up For Ever I520 Pinky Sand (P, $21.00) is similar. theBalm #7 (P, $6.50) is more beige. bareMinerals Ball Gown (LE) is similar. Too Faced Cheers! (LE, $16.00) is similar. Disney by Sephora Splendid (LE) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.Read Full Review
MAC x Toledos Pearlglide Eyeliners
MAC Chlorafill Pearlglide Eyeliner ($17.50 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "green line with pearl." It's a brightened, chartreuse green that leans yellow with very subtle gold sparkle. The sparkle is more of a smattering than a really glittery finish–I almost didn't notice it initially–especially in comparison to other shades in the Pearlglide formula. It had decent pigmentation in a single stroke, but the consistency has some slip, so it tends to look streaky when applied. It benefits greatly from taking a pencil brush and using it to smudge and blend the eyeliner into place. On me, it wore well for eight and a half hours before fading. MAC Sourpuss (P, $16.00) is more matte. See comparison swatches / view dupes.Read Full Review
