Mater Academy Lions
The mission statement on Mater Academy Charter High School's website tells in very straightforward language just about everything you need to know about the 11-year-old school in Hialeah Gardens, Fla.:
"The mission of Mater Academy is to develop the intellectual and social skills of its students by facilitating a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and a wide range of educational resources within a safe learning environment. Students are expected to perform at or above grade level availing success in high school and within a global society."
Those are high expectations, indeed, but ones every department in the school strives to reach, including athletics. The baseball program is certainly no exception when it comes to working to achieve excellence, despite its relative youth.
The team with one of the most impressive rosters at this week's first Perfect Game High School Showdown may also be the team with the shortest amount of history behind it. Mater Academy is playing just its ninth season of varsity baseball in 2013 yet has already established itself as one of the top programs in the state of Florida.
The school, with nearly 4,000 students, is an academic gem. It's a priority not lost on head baseball coach Edward Gorriz, who is also the school's athletic director.
"Our biggest accomplishment is that 90 percent of my graduating seniors go to college on a scholarship, be it athletic or academic," Gorriz said.
The 2013 Lions will bring a 15-2 record to Fort Myers, Fla., for the PG High School Showdown, an eight-team event that runs Thursday through Saturday and pits four standout Florida teams against four equally impressive Georgia teams. Mater Academy will not be overwhelmed by any of those top Georgia programs.
Senior outfielder William Abreu, the No. 47-ranked national prospect in the class of 2013 and an alumnus of the 2012 PG National Showcase, leads the Lions. He is joined in the outfield by junior Daniel Reyes, the No. 30-ranked national prospect in the 2014 class. Abreu has signed with Miami (Fla.) and Reyes is uncommitted.
Other top guys include seniors Kevin Abraham (Florida Atlantic) and Juan Escarra (Florida International), and junior Michael Mediavilla (Miami).
Although the baseball program is only in its ninth year, it already has one quite famous alumnus. Outfielder Albert Almora was a 2011 Perfect Game All-American and 2011 PG National Showcase participant that the Chicago Cubs snatched-up in the first round (sixth pick overall) of the 2011 MLB amateur draft.
"Having Albert Almora drafted with the sixth pick by the Cubs (was special), and having him here with me since he was in sixth grade is also amazing," Gorriz said.
Abreu is ranked as the 162nd top overall prospect in the 2013 draft, which puts him the fourth- to fifth-round neighborhood.

Top Prospects (Position, Class, PG National Rank):

Michael Mediavilla
While they graduated a top 10 pick from their outfield last year, that remains an area of strength for the Lions thanks to 2013 OF Willie Abreu and 2015 OF Daniel Reyes. Abreu has had success at numerous high level events over the course of a long amatuer career, both at team events as a member of the South Florida Elite Squad, and in showcase settings like the PG National, East Coast Pro and Tournament of Stars. Abreu shares one important trait with the departed Almora: his overall game plays at a level above his physical tools.
Reyes is still a young player who is maturing, but he turned some heads as a sophomore at the 2012 WWBA World Championship in Jupiter and is one of the highest ranked 2015 grads in the talent rich state of Florida. The outfield duo is joined by two other D

'll be interesting to see if they c
an continue their hot hitting when they come up against highly talented opponen
ts from Georgia.
Youth is the theme on the mound, as 2014 LHP Michael Mediavilla is the top arm on the staff, while several other underclassmen will be counted upon to contribute meaningful innings. Mediavilla has been very good so far this season for Mater Academy, and he should give them a chance to win the game he pitches, but whether or not anyone else will step up to take the pressure off the offense to score a lot of runs will be the key.
Through 15 games the staff has allowed 36 runs, and had been playing in low scoring affairs until a recent stretch where they've relied a bit more on the offense.
Offensively, the Lions can match up with anyone in the tournament, and their 14-1 start to the season and national ranking reflect that. But facing other highly talented teams, they will have to find a way to prevent their opponents from lighting up the scoreboard as well, or find a way to win slugfests.

Big Bear Vacations
$400 Lodging Credit Toward a Two-Night Stay or Longer in One of More Than 300 Cabins and Homes Around Big Bear Lake and a $50 Gas Card
Big Bear Lake, Southern California's premier four-season playground, is in the midst of seasonal change. This means the absolute best of both snow sports and spring action, and this week's Escape from Big Bear Vacations puts you in the thick of it all.
For $225, you'll receive a $400 lodging credit for a stay of two nights or more—plus $50 in gas—in one of more than 300 cabins and homes around the lake. Some of these fully equipped dens come with pool tables, game rooms, and spacious decks, while others—with wood-burning fireplaces and outdoor hot tubs—make cozy hideaways.
Awaken each day in your spacious abode, and sip a cup of coffee while you make breakfast in the kitchen. Then hit the slopes at Big Bear Mountain Resorts, offering two distinct winter resorts, each with its own personality and attributes. A single lift ticket provides access to both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, which are located just two miles apart and connected via a free inter-resort express shuttle service.
Each resort offers a variety of diverse terrain, providing skiers and snowboarders with a combined 438 developed acres, 26 lifts (including four high-speed detachable quads) and more than 55 runs. Snow Summit serves up a traditional alpine atmosphere with lots of intermediate terrain and mainstream cruising for skiers and snowboarders, while Bear Mountain offers a youthful vibe that attracts riders from around the world.
Come spring, head to the soaring nine-hole Bear Mountain Golf Course, or if backcountry pursuits are your bent, bike or hike the lush 600,000 acres of San Bernardino National Forest land that surrounds the lake—a ride up the mile-long Scenic Sky Chair on Snow Summit offers a bird's-eye view of it all. And with more than 300 days of sunshine each year, plus about 3,000 surface acres of water, Big Bear is a fisherman's paradise this time of year.
At dusk, head to a secluded lake spot for a romantic evening stroll. One night watching the sun dip below the horizon, lying under the stars (away from city lights), and reveling in your refreshing day of outdoor play will turn you into a believer in the powers of Big Bear.
For additional information, visit Big Bear Vacations on Facebook.

Bongs and Pipes
In these times there are so many different styles and types of bongs and pipes available, through our online shop you can buy bongs and pipes with next day delivery at the cheapest prices. We are constantly adding new products to our shop and cover the full smoking niche, but we specialize in glass pipes and the popular bong. Our warehouse is located in England, we provide cheap tracked shipping to the UK and we also have great shipping rates to the rest of the globe, such as USA, Canada and Australia. If you need extra details or advise on our bongs and pipes then simply send over a message using our contact form. It may be a good idea to keep a nice cheap bong on the shelf for when your friends visit, as if it gets dropped or damaged it is easy to replace without friendships being ruined! Some smokers are unsure what the difference is between pipes and bongs, the truth is that they are pretty similar. It is not uncommon for a product to fall in between both titles and cause a little confusion, but at the end of the day they will both get the job done nicely.
Glass Pipes UK
Just like many people love to collect plates and trains, smokers love to collect glass pipes. There is nothing more impressive than bringing your smoker friends home to show off your cabinet full of glass bongs and pipes. We provide a massive choice of different bongs at the lowest prices online, simply take a look around and compare our prices to the other online shops and see for yourself! So what is the deal with cheap glass pipes and bongs for sale? Is it worth buying a cheap pipe or should you splash out on a more expensive bong for smoking? Such as a branded thick glass one. Well as one of the biggest bong outlets we can tell you that you can easily be happy with either.
Bubbler Pipe
Along with our popular glass pipes and bongs we also have a really special bubbler pipe collection for sale. These compact smoking pipes include water to purify and smooth your smoke before you inhale. If nothing here takes your fancy, check out the glass bongs at HerbTools for low priced quality products. The noise of the bubbles breaking up the smoke inside the bubbler pipe is memorizing and almost addictive. It is a good idea to not just add tap water, but to leave some water in the freezer to get really cold, just before it freezes you pour it inside the pipe and if your glass pipe includes ice notches add some ice cubes up the neck, the difference this makes to the smoke is amazing, it won't just be cooler but it will actually be frosty.
Reasons for buying bongs and pipes through us:
- Next day delivery
- Cheapest prices online
- Top quality bongs and pipes
- UK based
- Quick and effective customer support

How to Organize a LomoMatrix2014-03-26 3 9 Share Tweet
Film Photography Day is fast approaching, and one insanely cool way to join in on the festivities on April 12th is by organizing a LomoMatrix!
What is a LomoMatrix?
As the name suggests, LomoMatrix is a fun event where a group of talented photographers come together and shoot a moment of action using analogue cameras at the same time. The photos are then edited together to give an awesomely stylish Matrix effect. In the video above you'll see some of the best examples from our fellow lomographers around the world!
Raring to start planning your own LomoMatrix now? Read on to find out how!
What you'll need
The crew:
- Actors/subjects of the shoot
- Photographers of the LomoMatrix and of the event itself
- Videographers of the event itself
The gear:
- Standard 35mm film cameras for shooting the LomoMatrix (it's best to use standard 35mm film cameras, so no panoramic cameras, fisheyes or sprockets, in order to get the perfect uniform look for the final video)
- Any kind of film camera as well as a video camera for shooting the event itself
- Fun props to use during the shoots; the more colorful and crazier, the better
- Loads of film, of course!
What you'll need to do
To make this guide easy to follow, we've divided the process into three categories: before, on the day itself, and after the LomoMatrix.
Before the event:
- Choose a location where you have a lot of space. A park or a big square where you can sit everyone in a big circle would be perfect.
- Get some friends to help you with the organization (shooting and filming the event, handing out props, organizing everyone in the group, etc.)
- Invite your fellow lomographers to join this fun day of analogue shooting!
On the day of the LomoMatrix:
- Sit everyone in a big circle on your chosen location. Assign everyone a number, and then number the exposed films accordingly so you'll know later on the correct order of the pictures when you stitch them together for the LomoMatrix video.
- Have one or two people stand in the middle of the circle and pose in the wildest and craziest stances they can think of. You may also use props to make it more interesting!
- While the actors do their poses, everyone in the circle now takes a picture at the same time. It's best if you coordinate on when exactly people should press their shutter buttons so everyone shoots approximately on the same second.
- Take turns so that everyone gets to be both "actor" and "producer" in your LomoMatrix!
- As these happen, the LomoMatrix "staff" (a.k.a. your friends helping you out) films and documents the event.
- When you're done, number the exposed films according to the assigned places of the participants in the circle. It will then be easier to know in which order to stitch the pictures together for the video.
After the LomoMatrix:
- Start working on the video as soon as you receive the scanned photos. Include video footage and "behind the scenes" pictures to add that special touch to it. *Here* is a great LomoMatrix video to get you inspired!
- Make sure to share your final video with your friends, to everyone who helped make it happen, and to the rest of the world!
Easy, right? Oh, and when you're done with your video, make sure to enter it on the Independent F.P.D. 2014 LomoMatrix Contest in the *Competitions section* for a chance to win the ultimate LomoKino Kit! Head on to this article to find out more about it!

Official Washington hailed the deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff as a significant bipartisan accomplishment. However, voters around the country viewed the deal in very partisan terms: Seven out of 10 Democrats approved of it, while seven out of 10 Republicans disapproved.
Just a few days after reaching that agreement, an inside-the-Beltway publication reported another area of bipartisan agreement. Politico explained that while Washington Democrats have always viewed GOP voters as a problem, Washington Republicans "in many a post-election soul-searching session" have come to agree. More precisely, the article said the party's Election 2012 failures have "brought forth one principal conclusion from establishment Republicans: They have a primary problem."
As seen from the halls of power, the problem is that Republican voters think it's OK to replace incumbent senators and congressman who don't represent the views of their constituents. In 2012, for example, Republican voters in Indiana dumped longtime Sen. Richard Lugar in a primary battle.
This infuriated establishment Republicans for two reasons. First, because they liked Lugar and the way he worked. Second, because the replacement candidate was flawed and allowed Democrats to win what should have been a safe Republican seat.
So, according to Politico, the Washington team is gearing up a new effort to protect incumbents and limit the ability of Republican voters to successfully challenge establishment candidates.
What to do about the primaries has become Topic A in many a post-election Republican soul-searching session, and now the first steps are being taken to address the issue. For Senate Republicans, that means a modified return to their 2010 posture of openly playing in primaries. A retiring House Republican is starting a super PAC to help House members challenged from the right. And an RNC commission is mulling over changes to the party's presidential primary.
In the Senate, where at least five GOP losses in the past two election cycles could be attributed to primaries, Republican leaders are planning to intervene in selected 2014 races to ensure preferred candidates win the nomination.
High-profile Senate Republicans are going to try to pre-empt bloody primaries with aggressive, early recruitment and support — effectively trying to clear fields.
"Instead of worrying about resolving a contested primary and upsetting a lot of folks on both sides … you recruit the best candidate on the front end," explained Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio.), a newly named NRSC vice chairman and close ally of Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell.
Further, expect Senate Republicans to insert themselves in those 2014 primaries when Democrats attempt to influence the GOP nominating process as they did in the 2012 Missouri Republican contest that produced Akin.
"If you catch wind of (Democrats playing in Republican primaries), it's a tough decision but you've got to have the ability and flexibility to say, 'OK guys, we're headed down a track here, so is there a better candidate who has more appeal, can raise more money, is more representative of the state they're in?'" said Portman.
Added Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire: "When they are up to those things, then I think that the committee has to say there are some primaries that we will get involved in because we're not going to let the Democrats pick our nominees."
Common people are no longer represented in government.
Common people are no longer represented in government.
Eventually, the responsible majority will arise, and a national policy of peace and prosperity will be implemented nation-wide.
The leadership is scared, and holding on to whatever power they can. Their tactics worked well, as they quelled the internal uprise and takeover of their party....but, in the long run, we the people will win.
Common people are no longer represented in government.
making such change without a civil war.
There has long been a riff between Conservatives and the Republican Establishment. Before the term 'establishment' got popular I called that group 'the country clubbers'. Think Barry Goldwater vs. Nelson Rockefeller.

Virginity, Lost? - Poem by Alok Mishra
Virginity, Lost?
Wondering my mourning heart
Rapid race of new age
Desires do come out of cage…
And tear your soul body apart.
Did you too lose?
Virginity, yes, they do emphasize!
They really asked it.
If no will you say,
Rush around you will slay
All your respect!
You will be a center of fun…
But alas O' Christ in heaven
Alas! Aspersed of bodies, lost
Without knowing the worth cost
Are still virgins, novice in their heart!
Losing is not bad, good
But losing to the lost
Or even losing the lost
Yet pretending to be untouched!
The hypocrite world! Shame!
What you think fame is rather defame.
Betray your souls
Glut the hatred of your own,
Still they say,
Last night I won!

Evening folks,
Been changing the batteries on the e28s instrument cluster but im wiring new ones outside the cluster to save hassle in future. Im just after some advice as to me wiring it all up properly. Heres a couple of pics, the first one is with the wiring done and the cluster reassembled but the batts got hot when i connected it up:
Ive connected 2 wires to the + terminals and the same with the negatives, spliced them and then onto the 2 1.2v nicads but as i said the batteries heat up quick. I THINK ive wired it properly but not sure, maybe its normal for the batteries to heat up?
Ive placed the old batts in the order they sat in the cluster for comparison :
This is the other end :
Appreciate any advice guys so i can get the cluster back in the car

My suggestion to take it to someone comes from, how much of a mess do you want to make in your shop.? I was the one to do the power washing/steam cleaning at the shop I worked in. It depends on how much grease and grime you need to remove, you can end up with the crap everywhere.
I clean everything I buy, usually at a car wash, usually late at night. I take a set of drive on ramps to get either end up in the air. Soak it with the degreaser of choice, the Castrol mentioned is a good one. I have also used one called Purple Power, I am not sure who makes it. I don't think much of Simple Green, it is a little pricey and seems to need to be scrubbed to make it work.
I clean the engine on my daily drivers 3 to 4 times a year, I do not spray directly on the distributor or the alternator and if it is carbed I use a towel to cover the carb. Maybe I have been lucky but I have never ended up with any moisture problems. If you want the engine compartment to look like new after you clean it use some no touch tire cleaner. A two piece rain suit, safety glasses and a hat will come in handy.

SAN FRANCISCO - April 19, 2012
In support of Earth Day, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) announced the start of the Online Statements Sweepstakes to encourage customers to switch to paperless statements for eligible accounts. Customers have the chance to win $25,000 or one of 20 $1,000 prizes. In addition to the sweepstakes, Wells Fargo, in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, is planting 50,000 trees at California's Six Rivers National Forest and distributing tree seedlings to residents in Joplin, Missouri.
"In appreciation of customers who choose paperless banking options whenever possible, we're pleased to support the planting of trees, especially in areas of need," said Martha Smolen, senior vice president at Wells Fargo Internet Services Group. "The trees planted at Six Rivers National Forest are expected to contribute to an improved ecosystem in the forest for years to come." Six Rivers National Forest extends 140 miles south from the Oregon-California boarder, crossing through or near the Smith, Klamath, Eel, Trinity, Van Duzen and Mad rivers.
Also, Wells Fargo is a partner in the Foundation's Joplin Tree Recovery Campaign, to help the people of Joplin, Missouri, restore the community trees lost due to last year's devastating tornado. The Foundation and Wells Fargo volunteers will distribute tree seedlings to Joplin residents on Saturday, April 21, 2012.
Online Statements Sweepstakes
Now through May 31, 2012, for each eligible statement Wells Fargo customers switch to online only statement delivery, customers will automatically be entered for a chance to win $25,000 or one of 20 $1,000 prizes. Eligible statements include those from these personal accounts: checking and savings, credit card, mortgage, home equity lines and loans, personal loans and student loans. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. Complete details and rules for the Online Statements Sweepstakes are available at http://www.wellsfargo.com/springsweeps.
According to December 2011 estimates using the Environmental Paper Network Paper Calculator and provided statements were not printed at home, Wells Fargo customers have helped save over 223,000 trees by turning off 649 million paper statements. "This Earth Day and every day, we encourage all of our customers to switch to paperless statements and notifications for the positive environmental impact, as well as the convenience and increased security," added Martha Smolen.

Time Flies, or: I'm Halfway Through College?!
Oh, I'm halfway through with college.
This thought occurred to me one afternoon last week as I walked past the CityCo in Kenmore Square. It wasn't the CityCo that triggered the thought; it was a Facilities employee who was walking right past me. We made eye contact and something in the back of my mind wiggled – I said hello aloud and he smiled, asking me how I was doing.
The wiggle in my brain (that's a scientific term, I swear) and the realization that followed it came to be because I knew this man. He inspired one of my first Culture Shock posts. The post – if you didn't care to click the link, shame on you – was written after my first month in Boston. I worried about being too busy, time passing too fast, to enjoy this beautiful city.
After I saw my Walking Symbol of Time Passing, I took the T back up to the Arlington stop, knowing I couldn't cross the tracks at Copley, and then got the E train and went to the MFA. I went to Downtown Crossing, set up some interviews for my internship, and sat under a tree in the Common to start writing what may-or-may-not-be a novel. That night, I held my first house meeting as a Resident Assistant. I realized how much I've grown into this city and university.
I came back to the lovely Culture Shock archives and read the old post over. I felt a lot of things – I laughed at how I thought I was busy first semester freshman year, compared to the semester I just finished up; I shook my head a little at how I should have edited the post itself a little harder; I had a "huh" moment when I remembered I came in here as a math major; and I was happy.
I was happy because I've done the things I said I wanted to do but was afraid I wouldn't find time to: visiting Wonderland, checking out the Christmas store in Faneuil Hall (really, Ceci? That was one of your top things to do?), and doing homework in the Common. And I've done more . . . and I want to do even more.
This year I got the chance to: live in Spain for three months, interview Seth Meyers, watch and meet one of my favorite spoken word poets, write a lot, meet and grow closer to amazing friends, and survive my first blizzard. I watched the people of Boston reach out to each other with love. I can't take credit for the awesome things that are part of my life story now, though. This year was full of opportunity and growth, and it was all thanks to BU and this beautiful city.
I've changed in the first two years of college, to be sure. But some things have stayed constant – I still write for Culture Shock. I'm still dating my best friend. I still have close friends from that first month of school. I still wanted to say hello to that Facilities employee. I'm still always busy, always busy. But such is life, right? We grow, and our roots stay put.
I'm happy with my halfway point. Here's to the first half – I look forward to the next.

No se por qué no había leído este post antes.Es bonito estar too bussy y también es interesante solo "estar".jaja.Por cierto,recuerdo a tu papá y a tu mamá teniendo algunos "huh moments.Good luck for the last two years.
Amen to dat
I have two things to say:
1. The crazy thing is that you will probably grow/change much faster in the second half.
2. Come on, you could've walked to the MFA.

How can people say they have a metallic taste in their mouth if they have never eaten metal?
Page Tools
Normally, there are four basic types of taste bud on our tongue - sweet, sour, bitter and salty. However, there are a number of drugs, such as certain antibiotics, that as a side effect alter the taste receptors of the nerves in our tongue, giving a sensation of the taste of metal or salt or bitterness.
John Frith, Paddington
Eat metal? That is precisely what the dentist is armed with.
Wendy Jones, Five Dock
What happens to you if you swallow chewing gum?
As a long-time swallower, I can assure you that swallowing gum has the exact same effect as swallowing any kind of food. The story of it not being digested for seven years is nothing but a myth. If it was true, my stomach would have been full long ago.
Adam Pemberton, Sylvania
Chewing gum could get you arrested ... in Singapore.
Shane Sullivan, Singapore.
Why did women of yesteryear faint so easily and why don't they now?
A lack of red meat - and no doctors to prescribe iron tablets - meant that many of these women were anaemic. Anaemia decreases the blood's ability to carry oxygen to the brain. Any form of excitement (romantic, sexual or otherwise) would increase the brain's oxygen demand and cause these women to swoon. How romantic.
Victor Bourke, Bronte
If you wore a corset that cinched your waist in to 20 inches (51 centimetres) and prevented you from breathing, you would feel giddy, too.
Jayne Coates, Petersham
Those prone to fainting were usually women of the "genteel class". They did not participate in active sport or become physically involved in running their household - servants did the manual work. Further, it was not considered attractive for genteel ladies to look robust and healthy. Heavy clothing, laced bodices and corsets - not generally worn today - also must have contributed. It was also an attractive female attribute to be considered helpless and somewhat delicate, indicating the need of a strong male partner.
Stuart Benson, Gloucester
How do they get teflon to stick to the bottom of the pan?
To get the teflon to stick to the bottom of the pan, turn the stove up high.

What happens to you if you swallow chewing gum?
You heave it left and right, then Mrs Donegan (Lonnie's mother) tells you not to be so spiteful.
Bob Dengate, Bathurst
You get adhesions.
Arthur Gray, Wentworth Falls
My mother said it would stuff up my cakehole (bottom, actually). Wrigley's says it is digested like ordinary food. Fiction beats fact any day, which makes it pretty hard to swallow.
Peter Dixon, Maitland
The same thing as when it gets in your hair, on your clothes or on the sole of your shoe ... pain and suffering.
Angie Dee, Potts Point
Why did women of yesteryear faint so easily and why don't they now?
It's much easier to breathe in cotton or lace underwear, as opposed to corsetry with metal boning. I speak with authority on both.
Vicki Tzortzis, Allawah
Natural selection: living in the present time is not for the faint-hearted.
Eugene O'Connor, Terara
Corsets; not unlike the reason high-class Chinese women couldn't run well.
Mary Purnell, Revesby
How do they get teflon to stick to the bottom of the pan?
Ask John Howard. Nothing sticks to him either.
Tracey Schreier, Vaucluse
Why do bluebottles come ashore only on a north-easterly breeze?
Because southerlies are too cold.
Peter Phythian, Oakhurst
What happens to roadkill?
The smaller animals are cleaned up by the crows. Larger animals, stock, for example, are removed by the council or shire.
Edith Richmond, Springwood, Qld
Why do actors, when wishing other actors luck before a performance, say "break a leg"?
Don't be fooled into believing that this is an ironic expression of good luck. Acting roles are so scarce and the industry so cutthroat, that actors can do with as little competition as possible.
Matthew Gibbs, Leichhardt
"Break a leg" means a second encore; The curtain call and first encore are taken with a bow. A second encore is taken with a curtsey, by bending the right knee the actors are "breaking a leg".
Kenneth Smith, Marrickville
Whilst no doubt this phrase was whispered by frustrated understudies to their principal in the wings before an onstage entry, there is an alternative theory: in ancient Greece, where applause was more common by foot than hand, a performance could, were the reception rapturous enough, result in one or more lower limbs dislodged in the audience.
(Alas, a lack of convincing archaeological evidence leaves this theory with nary a leg to stand on.)
Adam Sebire, Observatory Hill
The origin of "break a leg". The rope used to raise a stage curtain is called a "leg". Due to constant use over time in raising the curtain, the "leg" will eventually fray and break.
When an actor tells another actor, to "break a leg", it is not so much to wish him/her luck, but to encourage him/her to give a performance which would receive so many curtain calls, that the end result would be for the "leg" to break.
Bob Arnold, Berry
Why are ancient Egyptians always painted in profile?
Ancient Egyptians are always painted in profile because they believed that the face was most beautiful from that angle. For the same reason, even the though the face is in profile, eyes are always painted from the front their most beautiful perspective.
Melissa Mitchell, Chapel Hill
They believed that only the body parts shown in the paintings would be accessible to them in the afterlife. Hence they're painted side-on to capture all the limbs etc and nose, and then two eyes are shown so that they received both in the afterlife.

Interview with Joseph Alsop
29 March 1951 , The Eleanor Roosevelt Show
[Elliott Roosevelt]: Instead of answering a letter today Mother, I'd like to have you discuss the question that someone asked me the other day. It is: "Do you think the United Nations troops should cross the thirty-eighth Parallel in Korea, and why should there be confusion as to who decides this? President Truman or General MacArthur?"
[ER]: Well as a matter of fact, I don't suppose either President Truman or General MacArthur should decide, it should be decided by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the United Nations.
[Elliott]: I see. But evidently the joint chiefs of staff have given a directive under which General MacArthur is acting and which is known to President Truman.
[ER]: Well, only as a member of the United Nations should it be known to President Truman. Because General MacArthur is the United Nations general and he should notify the United Nations at the same time as he notifies President Truman or anybody else because the United Nations is where he gets authority.
[Elliott]: I see. Well now would you like to discuss the question of whether they should cross the thirty-eighth parallel in Korea or not?
[ER]: Well my own feeling is that-and it's purely personal and I haven't talked to any government authority about it-is that we should not ever have crossed the thirty-eighth parallel and that we should not now cross it.
[Elliott]: Mhmm.
[ER]: That we should stay at the thirty-eighth parallel. That was where the aggression was committed and when we reach that and are strong enough to prevent any assault on that line, I think then we should demand negotiations.
[Elliott]: Supposing those, the demand for those negotiations is ignored...
[ER]: Well I think we should immediately begin, having stabilized our line, to move in to South Korea with the UN Commission and begin to rehabilitate that part of the country.
[Elliott]: Well wouldn't...
[ER]: And perhaps by example that will show the North Koreans that there are advantages to negotiate.
[Elliott]: Wouldn't that be rather foolish in the event that China decided to again attack and send our troops back down the peninsula?
[ER]: I said when we had fully stabilized, I, I meant when we were sure that we were where we could stay.
[Elliott]: In other words when we had a large enough concentration of troops and guns to be able to withstand any attack at the thirty-eighth parallel.
[ER]: That's what, that's what my feeling would be.
[Elliott]: That's going to take a rather large number of troops and machinery in order to ensure that an iron line can be created which cannot be violated.
[ER]: Well I think we could begin and at least to demonstrate what our intentions were. And I think that news would spread because there are a great many North Korean refugees in South Korea today. And I think there would be the possibility at least- everything you do in this world is a gamble-but I should think it [Elliott coughs in background] would be a possibility that in that way you could bring about negotiation. And the sooner we bring that about, the better.
[Elliott]: Well there are military experts who have made the statement quite strongly in the public press that there's another reason that we shouldn't go beyond the thirty-eighth parallel. That if we are not going to reach in and hamper the supply lines of munitions and troops moving from China into North Korea, that we must hold at the thirty-eighth parallel in order to be able to prevent them from pilling up a large force in opposition to our troops-maybe millions of men.
[ER]: I know that. We have to have space in which to operate our air force or it's valueless to us.
[Elliott]: That is correct.
[ER]: And that's, that's...
[Elliott]: Tactical
[ER]: Military, tactical situation, which naturally I should think, would be taken into consideration.
[Elliott]: Uh, Well of course, you see there's been a lot of confusion and there are a great many people who advocate that as long as these troops are moving from China, that the, and the, the United Nations troops have been violated and attacked by Chinese troops- whether they want to call them volunteers or not, the supplies are moving from China. That therefore we should move in and cross the thirty-eighth parallel and rehabilitate all of Korea. Making sure by even going into China to stop the supply lines from moving up to the borders of Korea.
[ER]: Well after all, our original authority was in South Korea and it was the aggression...
[Elliott]: But I don't quite agree with you on that statement because theoretically the original authority
[ER]: Is United Nations authority
[Elliott]: of the United Nations was over all of Korea with the understanding that Russia as a member of United Nations was to administer the northern part, north of the thirty-eighth parallel...
[ER]: That is correct.
[Elliott]:..And the United States the southern part. Well the Soviet Union ostensibly is still a member of the UN and should have no objections to a UN force taking over the entire country.
[ER]: Well we know quite well that that would not be so because we know that what the Soviet Union did was to indoctrinate the North Koreans and to instigate on their part the same idea that the Soviets have, namely that people cannot be happy unless they are communists, and therefore that communism must spread throughout the world. And in order to do that, the North Koreans felt they must liberate the South Koreans by aggression. Now we might just as well face the facts of this situation. If we, against their will, force [Elliott coughs in background] North Koreans to rehabilitation we will perhaps meet resistance again. And I think our efforts should be to give it where the people are prepared to take it, and where we have, where the United Nations has an accepted authority. When it comes, it undoubtedly has authority in North Korea, but it does not, as yet, an accepted authority. It should offer, and offer immediately, to send in it's commission and to rehabilitate just as it will rehabilitate in South Korea. But we started this discussion on the supposition that North Korea would refuse negotiation and that
[Elliott]: Well...
[ER]: China would not withdraw.
[Elliott]: Who is North Korea today?
[ER]: Well, North Korea is probably a puppet government set up by either China or the Soviets.
[Elliott]: What proportion of the North Korean citizens have evacuated themselves to the South.
[ER]: I don't know. But I should say quite a number.
[Elliott]: Well therefore in South Korea today are large numbers of North Koreans who ostensibly should have the right of...
[ER]: Either to go back to North Korea or to be rehabilitated where they are if they wish to stay.
[Elliott]: Well wouldn't they have the right also to, to have a say in whether North Korea joins and accepts the United Nations order?
[ER]: If they go back into North Korea, yes.
[Elliott]: But the puppet government, a puppet government is one that is run by an outside power.
[ER]: Yes.
[Elliott]: And even in North Korea, the North Korean army is quite evident from captives today, that they are becoming very dissatisfied with their partnership with the so called Chinese volunteers.
[ER]: Yes but Elliott, you are facing a reality now you are trying to avoid. I, I grieve every day when I read the papers at the way in which we emphasize the numbers of people that we have killed that are Chinese. I'm not glad because we have to kill innumerable Chinese people in order to put down aggression. I am very sad about it. I know it has to be done and I know that it's the only way to save our own United Nations Forces, but I don't like the way our papers treat it at all. It makes me very unhappy. And I don't therefore-I think we have to face realities as they are-and I don't want to do something. I want to get the maximum of acceptance without any more bloodshed than is necessary.
[Elliott]: Mhmm.
[ER]: And I think the way to get it is to not say you're not going to cross the thirty-eighth parallel,
[Elliott]: Mhmm
[ER]: but try to establish a very strong line.[Elliott]: Strong line there. And then go ahead immediately with a huge rehabilitation program.
[ER]: Yes.
[Elliott]: I see. Well I think that that probably answers the question that was put to me and I see that the time is running out for this part of the program so we'll now turn it over to our announcer.[Break]
[ER]: I'm very happy to have a chance to have this talk with you. It happens that this afternoon I'm interviewing my cousin, and we haven't met for a long time. And he has seen a great many things, and done a great many things since last we met, and there are so many things I want to talk about, that I don't even know where to begin! So first of all, I'll just introduce Mr. Joseph Alsop, columnist in Washington, DC. Now Joe, what would you like to talk about? I'd like to know from you, whether you think we have to have a war?
[Alsop]: I certainly don't. I think there's no reason to fear a war at all if we do the simple, practical things that quite obviously need to be done to prevent a war. It's very easy to list those if you look at the world today. I'd put first: to pull together the Western alliance, of which we are of necessity the leader. I'd put second: to hasten the work of building the Western defense. Because of course the weakness of the Western nations is an open invitation to Soviet attack. And I'd put third: to manage ourselves in world affairs, in a sober, calm sensible manner, so that our allies have confidence in us, so that we offer no unnecessary provocation, and so that the firmness of our intentions, our determination and our peacefulness are all understandable to everybody...
[ER]: That's...
[Alsop]: ...If we achieve those three things, I don't think we'll have a war.
[ER]: That's very well stated, but I can see a few difficulties. For instance, in a country like ours where we have free speech and free press, in order to preserve the freedoms you sometimes have to have what sounds to your allies like conflicting voices. How are we going to get it clear that in basic things we are going to act together and probably act immediately all the way down the line?
[Alsop]: Well, that's always a very difficult problem, because people aboard seem to think that everybody that makes a speech in the Senate or writes a piece in the newspapers is speaking for the Government of the United States. The only way that I can see that that problem can be handled is just to let people learn gradually that the acts of the government are what matter, and that when the real testing time comes, if the government is courageous and wise and firm, people always support the government.
[ER]: I, I think that too. But I think that they are rather slow to recognize that in many countries. For instance in the United Nations, I find very often that other delegates, who are living here, and who should be learning what, how to weigh things, will bring me articles from papers and show them to me and say "What does this mean?" And it will be something that has appeared, let us say, in the Times Herald, or in some other paper in New York and I will say, "But that just represents a section of opinion," and, and they look at me and say, "But it is one of your big papers." And I say "Yes, but that doesn't represent the government nor the whole country, and you, you will not find that the whole country will react in this way or that way." But it's very hard for people in other countries to understand.
[Alsop]: Undoubtedly it is, but gradually, when great crises occur, and we are going to have to live through a great many crises, and people abroad see the country as a whole responding to the crisis with resolution and with wisdom, this conflict of voices, this chaos of advice that is part of our political system, ceases to impress them as much. And I've seen in these last five years, as a wandering newspaper man, having to go to Europe a good deal, that the nations that deal with us most regularly like the French and the British have gained confidence and have stopped being so very much alarmed when somebody makes a speech in the Senate that seems to say something quite contrary to our official policy. And I think that, that that kind of evolution toward confidence in the United States can occur in the whole world providing, always providing, that when these crises occur that we are going to have to live through, our people do respond with resolution and with courage.
[ER]: Now that's something that I'd like to just talk about, I'm really thinking out loud for the moment. Its hard for our people at present, I think, to understand, that they are actually being asked to make the sacrifices and to accept many of the restrictions that they never have accepted except for a war. And, to make the most people understand that this is a kind of necessary patriotism which will preserve the peace, is quite a new thing to demand of them. And I find it even as regards action in Korea, it hasn't quite come through that what we are really asking is that to prevent a war which would mean complete destruction for the world, we do the things which we have never done before except to defend ourselves in a war.
[Alsop]: Well, I think there is a very simple way of describing our present situation, Mrs. Roosevelt. The way I'd say, put it is this. For a long time after the end of the war, although we could see the Soviet Union preparing on the vastest scale for military operations, building up an immense armament, we completely neglected the defense problem. In doing that, we were just like a fellow who puts off taking out his insurance until he's fifty-five years old, and then he gets scared and he goes around to the insurance company, and the insurance company says, "Well you're fifty-five years old and you've got to pay ten times the usual premium if you want to get the insurance that you're asking for." And in the same way, we neglected our defense, and now it's all to be done in a very short time, and we have to pay ten times the usual premium for this defense, which is insurance for peace.
[ER]: I think that's put very well. Now, I was interested in your recent trip in Korea, and whether you found that any of the GIs were getting an understanding of what they were doing, and whether any effort on the part of the government was being made to help them to understand.
[Alsop]: Well it seemed to me that they understood what they were doing a great deal better than a good many rather foolish people here. I used to ask them what they thought they were fighting for, which is a pretty insulting question to put [ER laughs], but a conventional one. Well, and they generally had a rather simple answer, they said they were fighting for the United States. And it seems to me that's a perfectly adequate thing to fight for. And they weren't discouraged; their spirit was magnificent. And I must say coming back from Korea, it, it made me mighty angry, to find that the spirit in the United States, where people were pretty comfortable compared to Korea, in fact very comfortable compared to Korea, was not nearly as good as it was among the fellows who were out in the line, taking the danger and the horror of the fighting.
[ER]: But did you find among them a beginning of an understanding of the-or, or perhaps when you were there there hadn't yet come enough of other nations' help-but did you find any sense that we were fighting with other nations...
[Alsop]: Yes
[ER]: ...For something we all were in together?
[Alsop]: Yes, there was that. When I left, the UN contingents were not nearly so large as they are now. And it's also true that, that people don't bother to think very, in a very complicated way...
[ER]: No...
[Alsop]: ...about politics when they're in the line. But as I say, the spirit was fine, they had a sense of fighting for the United States. They had a sense that if they didn't do it, the consequences would be very bad indeed, and that it was worth doing. And its seems to me that's as much as you can ask and very good.
[ER]: Well I think that's a tremendous amount for the boys fighting in the line to feel. And I can quite understand your feeling of irritation when it seems as though we hung back on the things that we were asked to do, and perhaps wasted our time troubling about non-essentials, and our government even wasted its time in troubling about non-essentials. Don't you think we might move a little faster sometimes to do the things that are necessary?
[Alsop]: Well I do indeed, and I return to my parallel, if you don't pay for the insurance it isn't there when you need it. And, it may be nice now to have the extra comforts and extra self-indulgence that is possible when you don't pay for it, but when it isn't there and you do need it the result is so much worse, that the only thing to do is pull in your belt, face the reality of your situation, and do what it's necessary to do without complaining.
[ER]: Now for just one minute, I have to let our announcer have a word, and then we'll come right back and continue our talk.[Pause]
[ER]: And now, we come back to this talk between Mr. Joseph Alsop and myself and one of the first questions that I want to ask you is, you're here in Washington, I'm not but I get a great many reactions from things that are happening, and I'm wondering if you, from your experience here, have any feeling that because of our fear of communism, and because of our great dislike for communism, we are sometimes tempted to do things which threaten our own freedoms, and the very things that we are fighting to preserve in democracy?
[Alsop]: I agree with you very strongly Mrs. Roosevelt. It seems to me a monstrous joke. There are a series of simple practical things to do to preserve our freedoms, such as building an adequate defense. These things have nothing to with hunts all through the government for some wretched clerk who may have been silly in his youth about the Communist Party. They have nothing to do with all this domestic agitation. There are things that the Senate can vote on and the country can do without thinking at all about what's called "loyalty." And funnily enough, the very people who make all the row in Congress about potential disloyalty in the American government, are the same people who generally vote the Daily Worker line when the issues come up of whether or no we are to do the things that are needed to defend ourselves against Soviet aggression. I regard-of course we must have a reasonable and sensible security precautions in our government, every sensible government has those. But I regard the tremendous emphasis on the domestic danger as a form of escape, of trying to run away from the necessity of doing rather disagreeable and expensive things to guard ourselves against the danger abroad. It's very easy to persuade yourselves that by stamping out the wretched American Communist Party, which don't amount to a hill of beans, you can safeguard yourself against the Soviet Union. When as a matter of fact what you've got to do to safeguard yourself against the Soviet Union, is put on a tremendous defense effort which, granted, is going to demand a considerable measure of self-sacrifice from every American.
[ER]: I quite agree. And I entirely agree with you. What you've got to do is to put on the tremendous defense effort, but I would go even one step further. I would say that to really be successful with the Soviet Union, you have got to be for Democracy with so much conviction that you will do some of the things that seem perhaps, just one thing too much to bear. For instance, I think we have to help the world to have bread. I think that's almost essential, and, because a great deal of the world cannot even think about freedom until they have bread, and we saw that here in our own depression. Now, one other thing seems to me necessary, is to talk on the level of the mass of people, and not always talk on the level of the intellectual group. Now I was told of something the other day that I wonder if you have given much though to in the way of, of how we get across to people, that in one of the Near Eastern countries, quite a change in feeling has come about towards the Soviets, largely because they indoctrinated a few people in villages and in towns, sent them back to get a group together and give street shows depicting the misery of the people and the answers that the Soviet Union had. Now that, given in villages and all over, is clever propaganda, but I can't see why we can't do, really better because we can give proof of, of what we say and they only have promises.
[Alsop]: Well, again I agree with you fully. And of course, in the Marshall Plan we've seen the rule that you've implied work to the full. I remember very well when I went to Europe in the summer and autumn of 1947. The problem then, in Europe, was bread, and nothing else but bread. It was the sense of insecurity that every Frenchman, every Italian had because he didn't know where his own meal and his family's next meal were coming from. And that was going to lead within nine months, without any question at all to communist governments in most of the Western European countries, which would have been equivalent for us to losing an enormous war without ever having fought one. And we launched the Marshall Plan, and it administered a decisive defeat to the Soviet Union. I think we ought to boast a little bit more when we have a victory like that.
[ER]: Yes I've, I've seen that because I've been in so many of those countries and seen the seats in their Parliaments and that section is much less today...
[Alsop]: And of course the same principle of the Marshall Plan can be applied, less expensively in my opinion, in the more primitive countries where in some respects the long range danger is even greater that it was in Western Europe in 1947.
[ER]: You know a Chinaman called Jimmy Yen?
[Alsop]: I know him well.
[ER]: I think his mass education movement could be applied far less expensively and might do a very good job.
[Alsop]: A splendid thing, and worked finely in the province or so of China where it was experimented with before the communists came in.
[ER]: And that's the type of thing I think perhaps we ought to be exploring. Don't you?
[Alsop]: That, and helping people as we have done in a small way in India with their agriculture, providing improved seeds, providing improved methods of cultivation, giving credits in a conservative way for sensible, gradual industrialization. All these things raise the level of life, and this in turn promotes a sense of security, which means a solidity in the, in the national society which makes it un-attackable by the Soviet virus.
[ER]: I sometimes get questions of why I feel that we as a nation are capable of bearing this financial and, I suppose also, burden of leadership. Do you feel that we are capable financially and in the way of carrying the leadership?
[Alsop]: Well, I certainly think that we are capable of it financially. The total outlay on defense and on foreign policy amounts to about something like twenty percent of our national income and that means that we are paying twenty percent of our national income for an insurance policy against destruction. And since the destruction is a quite visible threat, it's very reasonable to buy the insurance policy. The leadership it seems to me is a more serious problem. Because the leadership's job is to make the people understand why we need the insurance policy and how the insurance policy is going to work. If our people understand that, I have absolute confidence in their willingness to pay whatever may be needed for the insurance policy. And I think the failure to make our people understand that is really the most alarming aspect of the present situation in the United States.
[ER]: I would agree with you if I really felt that we, that the majority of people, had not understood it. I have a feeling that we're pretty sound when we get down actually to basic things, and that while they may squirm now, when it's in the formation period and when they are wondering if they will have to do it, that when we actually get down-now, for instance, I, I have people say, "Well, why do we have to have price controls and who will it hurt," and so forth, I think that anyone will take anything if you are bold enough to say you have to have it because we're going to save the country that way. What's your feeling?
[Alsop]: I, that, I've always had a private rule about the reactions of the American people, which is that they never don't do what they can't not do. And, if I didn't have that faith, that in the long run this country does what it needs to do, I wouldn't believe in our kind of society. And if people, if the leaders are honest with our people, if they tell them the truth, if they place the facts before them, they will certainly respond. And I feel very confident that we are going to get through this bad time without running into the trouble that so obviously threatens us.
[ER]: Well I believe in our people I think we may come to things slowly, but I think in the end we do see what's obviously before us and do it. And now I'm sorry to say our time has come to an end and I have to thank you very much Mr. Joseph Alsop for being with me this afternoon.
[Alsop]: Thank you for asking me, Mrs. Roosevelt.

Day 6 of Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands
It must have been way past midnight or even later when I woke up, I'll never know but one thing that I definitely knew was that the entire room was completely pitch dark! Nothing could be seen or even heard inside the cabin! Thinking that something was terribly wrong or that I had completely lost my eyesight, I kept blinking and rubbing my eyes but still, nothing could be seen! It was still very dark and quite scary for that matter!

That's exciting news, Mark. I still use my Journaling Bible regularly, and when I don't, I'm using our single-column ESV Study Bible. Should we expect "Nothing to Hide" out in Moleskine-style this summer?
Happy Birthday, Bertrand: Single Column Journaling Bible in August
Two things to celebrate in August: my birthday (I'll be 42), and the release by Crossway of a Single Column Journaling Bible. I'm sure the two have nothing to do with each other. Having said that, everybody knows I love the color red, and if you're familiar with my original post about the Journaling Bible, you'll know I had a little input on that as well. If my eyes don't deceive me, this is a red Moleskine-style, Single Column Journaling BIble, best of all possible worlds:
I've been a fan of the red Moleskine since it first appeared (originally unavailable in the US), so you won't be surprised to know that I've just updated my birthday list. As I've pointed out before, single column settings and wide margins go great together. There's no ambiguity about which column of text the notes in the margin go with, because there's only one column. Here's a look inside the forthcoming Single Column Journaling Bible:
You can check out a PDF sample of the interior layout by clicking here. For those of you without my red fixation (or those who live in bull-infested country and worry about the possibility of goring), they will also be available in black hardcover and brown leather.
I see a lot of Journaling Bibles in the hands of young people, who appreciate the format's styling and practicality. The advent of a single colum edition is particularly thrilling in that regard. Getting good, readable Bibles into the hands of young people (yes, I feel middle-aged every time I type those words) is a priority.
8 Comments on "Happy Birthday, Bertrand: Single Column Journaling Bible in August"
Not in Moleskine style, but I did produced a very limited edition, which I wrote (obviously), designed, printed, hand-sewed, and bound as Christmas gifts. Some in marbled hardcover, a couple in full leather. They definitely look handmade (not always in a good way). No doubt these numbered volumes will be worth a great deal of money in the future.
In the meantime, Nothing to Hide will be out this summer as a trade paperback. It's my best novel yet. And the Christy-nominated Pattern of Wounds will be out as an audiobook this summer, too. Back on Murder is already on audio.
I suspect, though, that the next book I write will have to be called something like The Highland Goat Assassin in an effort to bring my various audiences together! 🙂
Mark, my young friend, the reason you're seeing so many young people with these is that old folks can't read the 7-point font of this little 8″ tall volume. If Crossway published this in magazine size (scaling the text to 10-point font) you'd see a more mature crowd using it.
Mark, you should post some photos of those copies that you bound yourself. I would love to see them.
Can we persuade Allan's to produce their own edition of the Single Column Journalling Bible?
You can also expect to see the single column journaling bible in a really cool vintage worn leather edition. Genuine brown dusty old style leather. Can't get any better than that.
I am super excited about this edition as well!
Catching up with my RSS feed, I thought you would have realized the connection… this new edition is almost made to your specifications, so it's a container for the answers to life, the universe, and everything – AND you're turning 42, the SciFi answer to the same question.
Struck me as funny (^_^)
