Chapter Nineteen, Part Two: Messaline DreamMature
"Do you know, Rosette my dear…" the Master says, cupping the 102 TARDIS' proffered milky features, "You're a lovely girl, in the nude. So elegant. You remind me of that little ape church in Jolly Old… all the white and silvery, what was it called? Oh yes…" His fingers dart, minnows in a stream as they grab the sides of the console box and press something. "Now it's got to be here somewhere… 'Mina said something about… hidden treasure…"
"Ah, yes! There it is!"
Square columns raise behind each of the many mannequins; each glass pillar contains a...
He follows the line of each identical piece of cloth, noting the slimness, the curves and the boning as though admiring a murderer's work, or perhaps a fine meal. His hands are behind his back as he walks back and forth between every column; his booted feet on the glossy floor as he paces, trying to find what she meant for him to find.
Then he sees it.
There is one, in the back, in a simple place of honour. It sits slightly to the right of the others. He crosses the room, fingers twitching to touch the thing under glass.
He feels up and down the square column, the sensitive nerves in his digits trolling for a catch release.
He wants his prize.
Craves it.
A little to the left.
A bit to the right and up, at a slight diagonal.
Some jiggery-pokery, a precise sideways motion.
The shadow of a seam is found.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
HI all!
New poster here, so I hope I have done it correctly!
I just got cleared (knee injury) to run Boston, and have flights, however, I am now faced with the accommodation situation (not like Paris or Berlin, man, Boston gets booked out BIG time eg: 900 pounds + for 3 nights anywhere near downtown). So now I know to book even before you qualify! (Hotel 140 looks like an excellent deal if anyone is booking for 2014, almost opp finish).
If anyone is cancelling (not that I wish anyone ill) or relinquishing a double booking, I would love to know.
Also - travelling alone and from Australia if anyone feels like pasta or a run buddy! Aiming for sub 3hr 30.
Felicity - this may be a long shot now given the proximity of the race but have you tried www.airbnb.com?
It is a chain of upmarket B&B's worldwide - we have used them in the UK and I booked 6 nights in Boston for £360 total. This was across the river, 3 miles north of the race finish area and not far from the international airport (east of the Harvard area if that makes sense).
You get a choice of rooms in private apartments or even whole apartments so somebody might just have a room to fill .....I'll email the place where we are staying and see if she has a vacancy as well.
Felicity - the lady who is giving us accomodation over the Boston w/e just texted me back: can you give exact travel/accomodation requirements and she will contact a friend of hers "down the road" ?
No promises - but you may be lucky....

UNDP Administrator Helen Clark's makes a speech at the IV Humanitarian Forum.
SIA reports the speech of UNDP Adminstrator.
It is my pleasure to represent United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at this opening of the IV International Humanitarian Forum. At the outset, let me thank his Excellency, the President of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, for convening today's Forum which provides an important opportunity for an exchange of ideas on a wide range of issues.
In my brief address today I would like to comment on UNDP's work with Azerbaijan aimed at promoting human development, and on a number of the initiatives developed to that end here which are very innovative. As Azerbaijan steps up its South-South Co-operation, UNDP will be delighted to partner with the country in sharing its knowledge and expertise with others who are seeking solutions to challenges similar to those which Azerbaijan has been tackling.
Azerbaijan has been endowed with large reserves of valuable natural resources. History tells us, however, that while the extraction of such resources may significantly raise Gross Domestic Product per capita, it does not necessarily lift either government revenues or the level of human development. Translating natural resource wealth into wealth for the country and greater human development requires deliberate public policy decisions which will achieve those ends. Azerbaijan has made significant decisions in this respect.
In September 1994, Azerbaijan signed what has been called the `Contract of the Century' - a "production-sharing agreement" with a consortium of foreign oil companies. From the profits of this initial agreement to develop the country's Caspian oil reserves, Azerbaijan was to receive eighty per cent of the profits.
Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Azerbaijan and its partners on the twentieth anniversary celebration of the Contract of the Century that took place here in Baku on 20 September. This was celebrated with the Southern Gas Corridor groundbreaking ceremony for the new pipeline which will bring Azerbaijani gas reserves all the way to Europe.
This Contract opened up major new opportunities for Azerbaijan's development. As for other resource-rich countries, it was also a time for reflection – on how Azerbaijan's wealth could contribute to lifting human development.
More than a decade ago, UNDP helped Azerbaijan shape the concept of turning its "Black Gold to Human Gold". The initiative focused on developing an internationally competitive non-oil sector, and developing and strengthening the capacities of people. Over the years, Azerbaijan has seen a drastic reduction in the level of poverty, new investments in social services, the establishment of a social security system, and rising salaries.
The concept of "Black Gold to Human Gold" remains as relevant now as it was when it was launched. Continuing to lift human development will be critical for the achievement of Azerbaijan's national development strategy, Vision 2020. At UNDP we are fully committed to supporting Azerbaijan in taking this vision forward.
The Millennium Development Goals have remained relevant for Azerbaijan, with challenges still around the goals for gender equality and women's empowerment and a number of the health and environmental targets. As it is likely that the unfinished business of the MDGs will carry over into the post-2015 global development agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals expected to be adopted by world leaders next September will also be relevant to Azerbaijan, and will contain new challenges too, given the emphasis UN Member States are placing on ensuring that no one gets left behind in development and that human development is pursued in a manner compatible with environmental sustainability.
Azerbaijan is well placed to share its development experiences with other countries through South-South and Triangular Co-operation. Indeed, UNDP and Azerbaijan have already partnered on support provided by the Ministry of Communications and High Technologies here to its Afghanistan counterpart through the UNDP offices in Baku and Kabul.
Last year, in the Plenary Session of this Forum, the former President of Turkey, Suleyman Demirel, emphasized that the Black Gold to Human Gold initiative could serve as a model for other countries to explore. At UNDP, we agree, and we see many other possibilities for sharing Azerbaijan's innovations too.

The Secret to Setting Limits (Without Bribes or Threats)
Hi Janet, Please help! I've recently found your resources and devoured your books, but since I've shifted my parenting practices, I feel like everything has fallen to pieces! I'm having to rethink my strategies with my 4-year-old. Normally bedtime is effortless — a great routine, quality time, and straight down. The only caveat is that I've used TV as an incentive and threaten to cancel...

Fake Crying and Manipulation
Occasionally, something I read from a parent or professional sparks such an intense visceral reaction that I need to drop everything I'm working on and respond. This recent note from Emily got my attention: Hi. I own a childcare and have a little 2.5-year old girl who "fake cries" nearly all day. Really, out of the 9 hours that she is with me, 5-8 are spent crying. Yet she has never shed a tear,...

6 Things to Know About Your Strong-Willed Child
Hello Janet, I write to you wondering how to deal with my very strong-willed and independent 5-year-old. As a toddler and emerging preschooler, she would express very large emotions. I would try to help her name and accept them by saying calmly, "You are feeling frustrated. Would you like to take a break?" If she felt angry or frustrated, she would yell at me, "I'm NOT...

When Children Fall Apart Over the Smallest Things
Hi Janet, I have a 3 year old son who is incredibly bright. He started talking very early and has been a fast learner, curious, and a great communicator. He is also very sensitive. Recently, his caregiver has said that he has a very difficult time recovering from situations where he's been fouled in some way or when he's asked to do something he does not want to do. She knows this is normal behavior...

How to Calm an Angry Child
Anger is an emotion we can all relate to, but it can be incredibly hard for us to allow our children to express it. They need to. If kids can't share their anger, it doesn't cease to exist. It festers, usually causing more frequent and intense flare-ups, discharged in bursts of impulsive limit-pushing behavior. It is also likely that unexpressed emotions like anger may be stockpiled and distilled into...

The Secret to Getting out the Door with a Resistant Child
It's time to go, but our child says no. We've tried explaining, coaxing, bribing, scolding. We've given choices, played games, filled our child's cup with attention and quality time. We've even tried half-heartedly acknowledging, "I know you don't want to go, but we must…" All to no avail. Frustration mounts, guilt and doubt seep in… What if she really dislikes her school (we've chosen the...

Charles Donald "Don" Kernodle Jr. (born May 2, 1950) is a former American professional wrestler with the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions.
Professional wrestling career[edit]
After graduating from Elon College, Kernodle started wrestling in 1973 in the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions. He got his start by accepting a "shoot" wrestling challenge from Bob Roop. Although Roop defeated Kernodle by submission, Kernodle's skills impressed Ole Anderson and Gene Anderson who both offered to train Kernodle for free.[1]
At first, he (now known as Pvt. Kernodle) was part of Sgt. Slaughter's "Cobra Corps" and teamed with Slaughter and Pvt. Jim Nelson.[2][3] In 1982, the team of Kernodle and Nelson won the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship from Porkchop Cash and Jay Youngblood.[2][3] They later lost the title to Cash and King Parsons, from whom they also regained the title.[2][3] After Nelson was removed from the alliance, Kernodle became the tag partner of Sgt. Slaughter, with whom he held the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) in late 1982 and early 1983.[2] They lost the titles in a legendary steel cage match vs. Rick Steamboat and Jay Youngblood on March 12, 1983.[2][3]
Following the title loss, Kernodle remained a villain and formed a tag team with Bob Orton, Jr. and was managed by Gary Hart.[2] He soon turned against America and formed a tag team with Ivan Koloff and won the NWA World Tag Team Title.[2] When Koloff's "nephew" Nikita Koloff arrived in late 1984, Kernodle helped to train him. Also in 1984, the Koloffs turned on Kernodle after he and Ivan lost the NWA World Tag Titles to Dusty Rhodes and Manny "The Raging Bull" Fernandez and started a feud.[2] Kernodle teamed with his brother Rocky to feud with the Koloffs and helped the Rock 'n' Roll Express to win the Tag Team Title from them at Starrcade '85: The Gathering.[2]
In 1986, Kernodle left the NWA and wrestled in various independent promotions in the Carolinas. He later became a Sergeant for Immigration Customs Enforcement for Alamance County.
Since 2002, Kernodle and his brother have wrestled several times per year with CWF Mid-Atlantic near their home in Burlington, NC. He is now a deputy sheriff with the Alamance County sheriffs office
Other media[edit]
He appeared in the 1978 Sylvester Stallone movie Paradise Alley.
Don Kernodle and his brother Rocky won the $10,000 grand prize on an early 1990s episode of ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos (their video was of them getting their miniature Dachshund to growl and snarl).[citation needed] They qualified for the $100,000 competition but did not win.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
In college, he lettered four times in amateur wrestling.[4] He was also a two time national arm wrestling champion.[4]

This is a very easy task yet has to be extra cautious. Usually parents prefer homemade baby food because that is economical as compared to buying pre-package food, one can be assured as what the baby is being fed upon, you can give your baby the best you want, the baby gets to eat the food the family prefers but only in puree form. Apart from all these advantages homemade baby food has some disadvantages too. Preparing baby food is a time consuming task, packaged food comes in measured food, and improper refrigeration can spoil food even.
You can use thinners while making baby food like steamed water, breast milk, cow's milk, broth, yoghurt, apple juice. You can also use thickeners like cottage cheese, cooked egg, yoghurt, mashed potato, wheat germ, sweet potato, whole grain cereal. Remember to discard remained food; do steam preparation of vegetables to retain vitamins and minerals as much a possible compared to boiling. Be sure your baby has accepted all vegetables and fruits before trying for meats. Use sterilized containers and ice-cube tray to refrigerate and freeze extra. Babies must be given soft diet so that their digestive system gets accustomed to food other than mother's milk.

Helper & Helpee?
In Reforming Marriage, Douglas Wilson quotes Genesis 2:18 ("It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him") and 1 Corinthians 11:9 ("Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man") and then draws this conclusion:
As a result of the creation order, men and women are oriented to one another differently. They need one another, but they need one another differently. The man needs the help; the woman needs to help. Marriage was created by God to provide companionship in the labor of dominion. The cultural mandate, the requirement to fill and subdue the earth, is still in force, and a husband cannot fulfill this portion of the task in isolation. He needs a companion suitable for him in the work to which God has called him. He is called to the work and must receive help from her. She is called to the work through ministering to him. He is oriented to the task, and she is oriented to him (p. 19).
I've read this book several times and have used it in premarital counseling, but as I read it this afternoon this passage stood out to me and a bunch of questions came to mind.
Are we to think here of men and women, in general, or only of a husband and his wife? Presumably it is the latter. Though the opening sentence speaks of "men and women," it goes on to speak of how they are "oriented to one another," and in the context that would be in marriage. Still, it is possible to (mis!)read the next sentence ("The man needs the help; the woman needs to help") as if it were speaking about every man and every woman, as if women exist to help men. One could wish the wording were clearer to guard against that misreading, but a close reading does suggest to me that Wilson has in mind only husbands and wives.
Still, some questions remain. Is it true that husbands need to be helped and women need to help, and not the other way round? Is Genesis 2 making a blanket statement about husbands and wives, teaching us that the husband is to do the work and needs help in doing it, while the wife is only to assist in the work as her husband's helper? Does a wife never do the "the labor of dominion" directly, but instead takes part in it only "through ministering to" her husband? May she not be involved in some "labor of dominion" that is distinct from her husband's particular labor, that she does without ministering to him? Is the husband not to be oriented to her? Is she not in any way oriented to the task (or even to a task that is not her husband's task)? Is this orientation thing an either/or, either an orientation toward work or an orientation to a spouse? Can it not in some way be both?
Surely "the labor of dominion" in Genesis 1 includes procreation. The command-blessing there is "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth." That, as Wilson says on the next page, is something a man cannot do on his own. But is procreation something that the husband does with the assistance of his wife? Is she only helping him do his task of being fruitful and multiplying? Is she involved in procreation only "through ministering to him"? Is he "oriented to the task" of procreation, while "she is oriented to him"?
On the contrary. In the Bible, the mandate given as a blessing in Genesis 1 is given only after the creation of Woman (that is, chronologically after what is reported to us in Genesis 2) and is given to both Adam and Woman:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Gen 1:26-28).
Both of them are created in God's image. Both of them, male and female, are blessed. To both of them God gives the mandate to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, to have dominion over the fish and birds and animals. There is no hint here that this mandate is given to the man, with his wife in only a helping role. She receives the mandate too. She is to be fruitful and multiply as much as he is, and they take part in this calling together. He helps her and she helps him. He receives her help and she receives his help.
What is true of procreation, of being fruitful and multiplying, is true of the other aspects of this mandate, subduing the earth and having dominion over the creatures. As James Jordan has written, "The cultural mandate is given equally to men and women (Gen. 1:28). In cultural life, the man is to help the woman as much as the woman helps the man."
It is not only that "The man needs the help; the woman needs to help." It is also that "The woman needs the help; the man needs to help." Both the husband and the wife are involved in carrying out the mandate God gave, and both need each other's help in various ways.
What about Genesis 2, then? Doesn't God say that he is making the woman to be a "helper comparable to" Adam? It certainly does. But a helper with what?
In Reforming Marriage, Wilson links the help with the "labor of dominion," but that isn't mentioned in the context in Genesis 2. At the time God created the woman, the cultural mandate had not yet been given; it wasn't given, according to Genesis 1, until after the woman was created and then it was given to them both. What about procreation? Again, nothing is mentioned about that in Genesis 2.
One might think more generally of companionship. After all, God says, "It is not good that the man should be alone." There is a certain sort of companionship, a certain sort of help, that the wife gives to her husband, a kind of help that he cannot receive from another man or from one of the animals, a kind of help for which he needs someone similar but different, fully human and "comparable to him" but not exactly the same.
That's true enough. But note, too, the flow of events in Genesis 2. God created Adam first and then created the Garden and put Adam into the Garden to serve it and to guard it, tasks that are later associated with the work of priests. The Garden is God's sanctuary, the place where God will meet with his people. Adam does not have dominion over it and is not going to subdue it. It is not Adam's Garden but God's, and Adam is in it as a priest, a palace servant, commissioned to serve and guard it. That priestly task is given to Adam, along with the gift of all the trees of the Garden (including, obviously, the Tree of Life) and with the warning not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Only at that point does God say that it is not good for the man to be alone and that he needs "a helper comparable to him." If we are to associate the Woman's role as "helper" here with any task given to Adam, it is not the task of dominion or of procreation or of cultural development, the tasks that hadn't been given yet, but the priestly task, the task of serving and guarding the Garden, the task of worship and care for God's sanctuary — and that's how Paul applies the creation order in 1 Timothy 2: not to all of life, not to cultural work or the "labor of dominion" but to the sphere of liturgy and worship (see the provocative discussion here; my link does not, of course, necessarily imply agreement with everything in this article).
Genesis 2, then, is not talking generally about men and women or husbands and wives and doesn't indicate that husbands are to be oriented toward their work, while their wives are to be oriented toward them and help them in their work. It's talking, rather, about a specific sphere, a specific sort of work and help in that work. But the broader mandate, the mandate to fill and subdue and rule the world, God gave to men and women, husbands and wives, alike. Each works, each needs help in many ways, each gives help.
"Beautiful Evils"?
What did the ancient Greeks think about women?
Jean-Pierre Vernant, in a brilliant essay on Hesiod's Theogony, explains. According to Hesiod, Zeus created the first woman to be a "beautiful evil" (kalon kakon) to afflict men. She would be a trap from which men could not escape. Though she appears beautiful on the outside, on the inside she has "the spirit of a bitch and the temperament of a thief" (kuneon te noon kai epiklopon ethos). You might be able to find a good wife, Hesiod admits, but even so, in and through her, "evil will come to balance out the good" (kakon esthloi antipherizei).
Women, according to Hesiod, are like drones: the men do all the work, and women sit at home and feed on the honey. Women are like flaming fire, burning and consuming but never satisfied. Women are stomachs, disguised by outward beauty, gulping down the food the man works so hard to provide. Women are like dogs, gobbling up the scraps.
That's not just Hesiod. Vernant compares two passages in Homer's Odyssey: "Is there anything more like a dog than the odious belly?" asks Odysseus, when he's hungry. Elsewhere, Agamemnon says the same thing, but changes one word: "Is there anything more like a dog than a woman?"
Nevertheless, for the ancient Greeks, men are now stuck having to get married to women. On the one hand, they consume everything you've earned. On the other, you need them in order to have a (male) heir. They're a trap, but one you can't do without.
It is no wonder, then, that this first woman — whose name Hesiod gives in his Works and Days as Pandora — is the one who opens the jar that contains all the evils in the world and releases them on mankind (on males, that is).
What a difference there is when you turn from the ancient Greeks to the Bible, where the woman, far from being a "beautiful evil" is called "glory," where the blame for the sin that brought death and misery into the world is attributed to Adam, even though Eve ate the forbidden fruit first, and where men are called, as co-heirs with them of glory, to show honor to their wives.
Isn't Jesus' Love Enough?
This morning, I read most of Justin Buzzard's little book, Date Your Wife: A Husband's Guide. The title is somewhat misleading — very little of the book is really about having a "date" with your wife — and I have some quibbles about certain aspects of the content (religion vs. Christianity), but there's some good, practical, and gospel-grounded stuff here. I could say more, but this isn't a book review and I have something else on my mind.
The foreword to the book is by Tullian Tchividjian and it contains a line that made me raise my eyebrows. Here it is in context:
I enjoy receiving love from my wife. I'm ecstatic when Kim loves me and expresses affection toward me. Something in me comes alive when she does that. But I've learned this freeing truth: I don't need that love, because in Jesus I receive all the love I need. This in turn liberates me to love her without apprehension or condition. I get to revel in her enjoyment of my love without needing anything from her in return. I get love from Jesus so that I can give love to her (10-11).
The line in question is in the middle of that paragraph: "I don't need that love" — the love of a wife — "because in Jesus I receive all the love I need." At first, that sounds right. Jesus is all we need, isn't he? If we have him, we have everything. Doesn't Paul say "For me to live is Christ"?
And yet here's what raises a question in my mind. In the beginning, on the sixth day, God creates Adam from the dust of the ground and breathes the Spirit into his nostrils and Adam becomes a living soul. God then plants a garden in Eden and puts Adam into it. This is not Adam's garden; it is God's garden, God's sanctuary, and Adam is there as a priest to tend and guard it (language associated with priests later in Scripture). God speaks to Adam and gives him permission to eat from every tree in God's garden, with the exception of one.
But then God says something that ought to surprise us more than it does: "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." How was Adam alone? Didn't he have fellowship with God? Of course he did! Isn't that fellowship enough? Apparently not. Shouldn't Adam have said "I don't need a wife (or her love or anything from her) because I have God (and His love) and that's enough to meet all my needs"? No. Adam had fellowship with God, but he also needed a wife. And he needed a wife, not an angel, not an animal, but also not a male buddy or a female friend; he needed a wife, someone who was bound together with him, one flesh with him.
Of course, Jesus' love for us is the foundation of all our blessings. Certainly Jesus' love empowers a man to love his wife, even when she isn't lovely or isn't loving him in return. But a man who has Jesus and in him has fellowship with God still needs other people. It is not good for him to be alone. And it's right for him to say to his wife, "I need you."
Mr. Right
It's ludicrous to believe that successful marriages depend on discovering the one person out of the more than six billion people on earth who is just right for you. — Les & Leslie Parrott, Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts, 31.
The problem the Parrotts identify here is related to a popular view of the will of God. According to this view, God has a plan for your life that will lead to the greatest possible happiness, fulfillment, fruitfulness, and blessing. The plan is not spelled out in Scripture — Scripture doesn't say what courses you should take in college or what jobs you ought to accept or whom you should marry — but you are responsible to discover the plan and follow it. And if you miss "God's perfect will for your life" — if you take the wrong classes, accept the wrong job, marry the wrong spouse — the result will be misery.
Well-meaning people sometimes try to comfort a single friend by saying, "Don't worry. God has someone out there who is just perfect for you. Apparently Bob wasn't the one, but the right one is out there somewhere."
Well, maybe. In fact, maybe there are a thousand men who would be, if not Mr. Right, at least a suitable and godly spouse with whom this single girl would be able to have a marriage that glorifies God and that enriches both partners. It simply isn't true that God has chosen one man (or, if you're male, one woman) who would be the right spouse and whom you've somehow got to locate and wed or you'll be doomed to marital misery. And it isn't true that if you marry someone and then have problems, it must mean that you missed out on Mr. or Miss Right, that you missed out on the person God made who would be perfect for you.
There is no Mr. Right, no perfect spouse, no "perfect will of God for your life." That's a truth that ought to give singles hope, an increased hope of finding a spouse without being scared off by every flaw and a hope that goes hand in hand with responsibility. Choose wisely, but know that whoever you choose you will not be Mr. and Mrs. Right. And then work in faith to serve God together in your marriage as Mr. and Mrs. Suitable-and-Growing.
"But Of Course!"
In his introduction to a collection of essays presented to Charles Williams, albeit after his unexpected death, C. S. Lewis writes about the pessimistic side of Williams:
He also said that when young people came to us with their troubles and discontents, the worst thing we could do was to tell them that they were not so unhappy as they thought. Our reply ought rather to begin, "But of course…." For young people usually are unhappy, and the plain truth is often the greatest relief we can give them. The world is painful in any case: but it is quite unbearable if everyone gives us the idea that we are meant to be liking it. Half the trouble is over when that monstrous demand is withdrawn. What is unforgivable if judged as a hotel may be very tolerable as a reformatory" (Essays Presented to Charles Williams, xii-xiii).
I should add that Lewis goes on to say
But that was only one side of him. This scepticism and pessimism were the expression of his feelings. High above them, overarching them like a sky, were the things he believed, and they were wholly optimistic. They did not negate the feelings; they mocked them (xiii).
But I am interested in particular in the first quotation and I invite your discussion. On the one hand, it seems to me wrong to think that we are not meant to enjoy life. I even try to teach my children to like foods that they currently don't, precisely because I want to increase their enjoyment of their mother's (and others') cooking and so enrich their lives. We don't want our children moping around, nor do we want to mope around ourselves, and so we try to learn to enjoy the chores and tasks we have to do.
But on the other hand, I also see what Lewis (and behind him Williams) means. Consider marriage. If we give the impression that marriage is simply something to enjoy, then we are not preparing people well for marriage. Marriage is often a joy and a pleasure and a delight, but it is also often work. If you focus on your happiness, you're going to be disappointed. But if you understand that in every marriage there is going to be a certain amount of drudgery, of chores you'd rather not do, of times when you're called upon to serve when you'd rather not, of times of unhappiness — and recognizing that might go a long way toward helping couples deal with those times. In this connection, I refer you to Lewis's own excellent essay "The Sermon and the Lunch," which should be required reading for couples and for their pastors.
But on the third hand … do we really want to say that this world is a reformatory and tolerable as such? That makes it sound as if one day, we'll be released, when in fact isn't it the case that our calling is not to wait around and hope to escape to heaven (when the work on us is done) but rather to heavenize the world, to imprint the pattern of heaven on the world, to pray and work so that God's name is hallowed, His kingdom comes, and His will is done on earth as it is in heaven? And if that's the goal, then "reformatory" isn't really the right view of the world, is it?
Now … discuss amongst yourselves.
I'm currently reading Brian McLaren's A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith. It's not at all a good book, for several reasons, which I won't go into here, though it is helpful in making very clear the direction McLaren is going on a number of issues — though McLaren still seems to present himself as more interested in questions than answers and often fails to come straight out and say what he thinks the church ought to believe and teach and practice.
But in spite of the serious problems I have with McLaren's books, starting with his approach to Scripture, I almost always find something worth thinking about in them somewhere and this was no exception. His seventeenth chapter is entitled "Can We Find a Way to Address Human Sexuality?", and most of it deals with homosexuality and calls for (well, McLaren doesn't often "call for" things so much as suggest or imply them) greater openness to homosexuals, less emphasis on heterosexual marriage, and so forth.
But in the midst of this discussion, the gist of which I do not agree with, he talks about how "being a human being at this time in history makes it all the more difficult to navigate our sexual lives. The opportunities for promiscuity may never have been greater, and the supports for chastity and fidelity have seldom if ever been weaker" (187).
I wonder if that's really so. I suspect that there has been little support for chastity and fidelity and great incentive for promiscuity in many pagan societies. Be that as it may, McLaren goes on to provide a helpful list of various "realities" that we ought to consider when thinking about today's bent toward promiscuity:
We've moved from villages where "everyone knows your name" and where nearly everyone is committed to the same moral standards to cities where we're all virtually anonymous and where anything goes. So sex and community are less connected than ever before.
We're the first human beings to have low-cost, readily available birth control, making sex and pregnancy less connected than ever before.
We're the first humans to have condoms and antibiotics readily available, making sex and disease less connected than ever before.
We've created an economic system that increasingly requires both men and women to work outside the home, in company with members of the opposite sex, thus increasing the possibilities for extramarital attractions to develop and become sexual.
We've created an economic system that rewards education and punishes early marriage, pushing the average age of marriage higher and higher. As a result, we've put the biological peak for sex and reproduction further out of sync with the cultural norms for marriage than ever before.
Meanwhile, a number of factors are bringing the average age of puberty lower and lower, leaving more years than ever during which sexually mature people are likely to be single and therefore likely to engage in sex outside of marriage.
The Internet has made pornography ubiquitous, the advertising industry continuously exploits on-screen sex to sell everything from hamburgers to lawn mowers, and the entertainment industry uses sex to sell movies, books, TV shows, magazines, and related products and services. As a result, sexual stimulation has become increasingly virtualized and universalized.
The print, on-screen, and online ubiquity of "perfect" bodies in "virtual reality" — partially or fully exposed, often cosmetically and digitally enhanced — can create images of sexual perfection copared to which nearly all actual partners will disappoint, thus increasing sexual tension in actual relationships.
The combination of poverty, unemployment, and life in refugee camps or slums puts millions of people together with literally nothing to do, day after day, increasing the likelihood of casual sexual contact among people without the resources to raise the children they conceive (187-188).
More wisdom from Lewis's The Screwtape Letters in the form of advice from a senior devil writing to a junior tempter whose "patient" has just become a Christian:
Work hard … on the disappointment or anticlimax which is certainly coming to the patient during his first few weeks as a churchman. The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour. It occurs when the boy who has been enchanted in the nursery by Stories from the Odyssey buckles down to really learning Greek. It occurs when lovers have got married and begin the real task of learning to live together. In every department of life it marks the transition from dreaming aspiration to laborious doing.
The Enemy takes this risk because He has a curious fantasy of making all these disgusting little human vermin into what He calls His "free" lovers and servants — "sons" is the word He uses, with His inveterate love of degrading the whole spiritual world by unnatural liasons with the two-legged animals. Desiring their freedom, He therefore refuses to carry them, by their mere affections and habits, to any of the goals which He sets before them: He leaves them to "do it on their own."
And there lies our opportunity. But also, remember, there lies our danger. If once they get through this initial dryness successfully, they become much less dependent on emotion and therefore much harder to tempt (pp. 17-18; I've added paragraph breaks).
Let me first quibble with a couple things in this quotation. While I understand what Lewis is saying about getting past dependence on emotion, I'm a little leary about Lewis's love of reason, which shows up strongly in the first letter here, and his perhaps related distrust of emotion. Even when we persevere in the face of dryness, it seems to me that emotion is still involved, not least the emotion we associate with a longing for joy and a memory of past joy.
I'll quibble also with Lewis's emphasis on freedom. It's not just freedom God is after, it seems to me. It's maturity. God allows the disappointment and dryness at the outset of our endeavours because he wants us to grow to maturity. Children have decisions made for them. They are carried from place to place. When the chair they're trying to climb into is too high for them, someone picks them up and puts them into it. Grown-ups generally have to get into their own chairs, make their own decisions, and so forth. And God's goal for us is that we be mature, that we be grown-up.
To that end, He makes life puzzling, so puzzling we just have to give up trying to figure it all out and go and eat and drink and be merry because God has already accepted our works, as Ecclesiastes says. And to that end, God also allows life to be a vapor so that the great art works of the past decay, so that we lose many of Bach's great compositions, so that great architecture crumbles and buildings fall down, and things we love change. That would likely have been the case even apart from the Fall.
Quibbles aside, what struck me as so important about the phenomenon Screwtape mentions here is that it often goes unnoticed. Well, we all notice it. We all notice that the job we thought we'd love rapidly becomes drudgery. As Alexander Schmemann has said, "Every job which has had three Mondays in its history already becomes meaningless, or at least to some extent oppressive."
We notice that, but we don't notice it as a general phenomenon. We feel the disappointment, the dryness, when we buckle down to doing our new job, the job we thought we'd love. We feel it, as Lewis says, when we get married and start learning to love each other in that new situation. We feel it sometimes even when we finally start reading a book we'd been hoping to get to for some time. And we feel it, as Screwtape points out, when we become Christians and start attending church.
We feel it, but we don't say to ourselves, "Hey, that's how it is with everything in life. The initial excitement wears off and we go through a dry period or a series of dry periods." Instead, we act as if this disappointment and dryness are surprising ("Oh, no! What's happening? This isn't what I expected") and that gives the devil a foothold.
Now if only I could remember all of this the next time it happens.
Congratulations Aren't In Order
Have you ever seen this? A young man starts courting a girl and people come up to him or to her and offer congratulations, sometimes with expressions of great joy. From the way people carry on, anyone watching would think the couple was engaged.
But they aren't. They're only starting the process of courtship. They're still getting to know each other, trying to discover whether they really do want to get married. And they're free to break off that courtship at any time without any shame. Courtship isn't engagement. Courtship doesn't imply commitment.
But tell that to the people who are so excited that you're courting someone or being courted and who are bubbling over with congratulations as if they're so glad you've finally found someone. Well, Doug Wilson tells them here.
Getting the Love You Want
Years ago, when I lived in Lethbridge and was still unmarried, I frequented Brewster's, a microbrewery and pub. One of the regulars was a man — I think he taught at the college or university, I think his last name was "English," and I know he himself was English — who used to alternate years in which he allowed himself to drink beer and years in which he didn't. There were exceptions, of course. For instance, if he was "out of jurisdiction," as he called it — which usually meant if he was in England — then he wasn't bound by the rule. But this was his regular practice. I, of course, ran into him only on his "on" year.
The reason I mention him now is that, way back then, he mentioned to me once how valuable he had found a book by Harville Hendrix entitled Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples. Since then, I've seen it in used bookstores and at the Goodwill and haven't bought it. But a few weeks back I did finally pick it up from the library.
It's a mixed bag. Hendrix presents a lot of psychological stuff that I find questionable. I haven't considered it worth reading in depth, so I'm only skimming. But some of what he says is worthwhile.
For instance, he describes the difference between what he calls an "unconscious marriage" and a "conscious marriage" (pp. 90-92). Among the characteristics of a "conscious marriage" are these:Â
You take responsibility for communicating your needs and desires to your partner. In an unconscious marriage, you cling to the childhood belief that your partner automatically intuits your needs. In a conscious marriage, you accept the fact that, in order to understand each other, you have to develop clear channels of communication….
You learn to value your partner's needs and wishes as highly as you value your own. In an unconscious marriage, you assume that your partner's role in life is to take care of your needs magically. In a conscious marriage, you let go of this narcissistic view and divert more and more of your energy to meeting your partner's needs….
You accept the difficulty of creating a good marriage. In an unconscious marriage, you believe that the way to have a good marriage is to pick the right partner. In a conscious marriage you realize you have to be the right partner. As you gain a more realistic view of love relationships, you realize that a good marriage requires commitment, discipline, and the courage to grow and change; marriage is hard work.
All quite basic stuff, right? Yes, but it's still good to be reminded of it.Â
The last point, in particular, is something that I think singles need to hear. We tend to think that the most important thing is finding the right partner. Certainly that's important. But if that's our main focus, we're going to be terribly disappointed when our partner doesn't act the way we think he should ("This isn't the woman I married! What have I done! I've made a terrible mistake!" Now what!"). Having the right partner, as Hendrix says, isn't as important as being the right partner.
Along this line, Hendrix tells the story of a man named Walter who complained about not having any friends. He'd been looking and looking, but he couldn't find them. Hendrix thought he was being childish:Â
He was locked into a view of the world that went something like this: wandering around the world were people on whose foreheads were stamped the words "Friend of Walter," and his job was merely to search until he found them (p. 93).
Hendrix finally told him that the reason he didn't have any friends was because there were no friends out there: "All people in the world are strangers. If you want a friend, you're going to have to go out and make one!" (p. 94).
So, too, with love. We don't want to work at it and take responsibility for it. We simply want to "fall in love" and "live happily ever after" (p. 93). And then, when we discover that our spouse doesn't make is "happy ever after" we "fall out of love" instead of acting like grown-ups and working at love. "We are slow to comprehend that, in order to be loved, we must first become lovers" (p. 95).
Reading further, I see that some of what Hendrix prescribes for healing marriages looks quite practical and helpful. So, Dr. English (if that was your name), for this book recommendation which I didn't take too seriously at first, I'd buy you a pint of good ale. Except that I think 2006 is an "off" year for you….

This review is from: Seagate BarraCuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Fast and runs cool, 37 deg cel. have it installed in a 3 bay rack. Other segates run a little cooler. Good value for a 1TB drive.
Bubble wrap packaging. Surprised it worked. Order drive with other items when choosing free shipping so that you will have better packaging. If only ordering one hard drive from Newegg, ship it FedEx.
Other Thoughts:
Ordered to replaced a previously failed WD 500GB drive. I believe that the FOI issues are due to the poor packaging for oem drives.

The Vault (UNIT)
- You may be looking for the vault owned by Henry van Statten.
The Vault contained alien artefacts and other objects of interest taken by C19 from both before and after the formation of UNIT. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice) The Vault was permanently kept dark, as some objects would react with light. (AUDIO: Tales from the Vault)
It was one of several storage facilities supporting the main Black Archive in the Tower of London. (AUDIO: The Screaming Skull)
History Edit
The Vault was initially located in the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland. It was formed by Harold Wilson under the Ministry of Technology, ostensibly to help develop new technologies to enrich British industry: Wilson's "white heat of technology". In truth it located and used alien technology for its own ends, and the MPs who'd approved of it where unaware of what it did. It was run by a mysterious man called the General, who was in fact Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's brother James from the Inferno Earth. (PROSE: One Cold Step, Beast of Fang Rock, Mind of Stone)
Debris from the Shoreditch Incident and WOTAN had been sent to the Vault.(PROSE: The Scales of Injustice) )
In the late 1960s, the remaining Yeti and technology left over from the London Event were transferred to the vault, including Anne Travers. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son) Corpses from the London Event were transferred there as well, so the "web" fungus could be taken off them. (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock) (A number of other corpses would be taken to the Vault after future alien attacks (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice) )
At that point the quartermaster of the vault was Captain Hawkins. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son) Leonard Harkness was a scientist who worked there during the late 1960s. (PROSE: One Cold Step) Another scientist who worked alongside Anne was Tim Gambrell, who assisted Anne in running tests on the Om-Tsor and the body of Ed Hill. Anne later revealed to Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart that she was at the Vault to gather information for General Hamilton. The remaining Rutan technology and shuttle pod was sent to the Vault following the events at Fang Rock in May 1969. (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock) Shortly after, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart and Air Vice Marshal Gilmore uncovered a secret bunker beneath Shoreditch, London, owned by the Vault. It was run by Lieutenant Leslie Johnston, and he was using a captured Professor Travers to control Yeti found in the Underground. Lethbridge-Stewart and Gilmore brought the operation to an end, by Johnston escaped. (PROSE: The Dogs of War)
By the early 1970s, Department C19 had taken over the Vault and forcibly retired James Gore. (PROSE: Ashes of the Inferno The Pale Man ran the facility. The Vault's items had grown and even included the complete Mars Probe 6. The Pale Man intended to use the technology within to conquer Earth, and the Vault was raided by the Third Doctor and UNIT. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice)
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart had other personnel inside the Vault following Anne Travers. (PROSE: Ashes of the Inferno)
In later years, UNIT had control over it. The contents of the Vault were moved to the Angel of the North in the 1990s. (AUDIO: The Screaming Skull)
In the 21st century, both Captain Ruth Matheson and Charlie Sato worked there. (AUDIO: Tales from the Vault) The Master escaped from the Vault after hypnotising Matheson and Sato into letting him escape in his TARDIS. (AUDIO: Mastermind) Rees later escaped from the Vault after possessing every carcass that had been stored in the Vault, in addition to UNIT soldiers who were sent in to investigate the occurrence. (AUDIO: The Screaming Skull)

When Gary Russell, the author of The Scales of Injustice, tweeted Mastermind writer Jonathan Morris, asking him if the Vault in Mastermind was the same as the one from Russell's novels, Morris responded, "Possibly, but it's now been moved to a secret base under [the] Angel of the North". [1] When he realised Russell's C19 Vault was a short distance from the one in Mastermind, Morris stated that "it all fits!" [2] AUDIO: The Screaming Skull later gave the in-universe link for this move.

Charlotte Tilbury's Beach Stick Lip to Cheek Dewy Colour Pop has a creamy texture that is workable on cheeks and lips as claimed. Each adds a pop of glowing color for a sun-kissed, beachy look, also as promised. The only caveat is that the color's longevity is merely mediocre—but there's no denying it's beautiful while it lasts.
First, let's address the shades. Each varies in intensity and shimmer and hence, may be used for different purposes. The most compatible shades for lip/cheek color are "Es Vedra" (which packs a punch of semi-opaque coral-red color with a golden sheen), "Las Salina" (a shimmering, sheer, bright golden pink) and "Formentera" (a "sun-kissed berry color" with hints of brown and rose, less shimmery than the others).
The "Moon Beach" shade has an iridescent sheer peach hue that has more shimmer than pigmentation, and as such, it works better as a highlighter. Last is the glowing "universal bronzer" shade, "Ibiza," which is a bit dark for lighter skin tones—though, like all of the shades, it sheers outs easily.
In terms of performance, when used as blush, Beach Stick illuminates skin with a dewy, luminous finish. True to its claims, it meshes smoothly with skin rather than setting into fine lines or pores. The formula has a nice amount of slip, allowing it to glide over skin without looking (or feeling) heavy or greasy. Unfortunately, as we mentioned in the opening, the longevity of their color is mediocre. On average, each faded a few hours in—but they're beautifully radiant while they last.
As a lip color, Beach Stick's large rounded tip is cumbersome for precise application, but if you like the idea of a dual-purpose product, this fits the bill. It offers average wear time for a cream lipstick.
What about Charlotte Tilbury's boast that this contains "ceramidone" to act as a "poly-filler to refill and plump up the skin, giving you a youthful, flawless skin surface?" Ceramidone (listed as octyldodecyl PCA on the ingredient list) does play a role in creating the overall smooth texture of this product, but don't get caught up in thinking it actually plumps skin—there's no research to support that. It's an ordinary, but good, cosmetic ingredient.
On another note, you'll likely notice the vanilla scent of Beach Stick, which comes from the inclusion of the synthetic flavoring agent ethyl vanillin. It isn't overpowering and isn't cause for concern in regards to any potential to irritate skin.
In the end, Beach Stick has merit as a multi-tasking lip and cheek product, but its scant wear time holds it back from our highest rating, especially at this steep of a price point. Regardless, if you want to give it a go, those prone to breakouts should take note that the kinds of ingredients that hold stick makeup in their solid form can lead to, you guessed it, more breakouts. For all other skin types, it's good to go!
Dicalcium Phosphate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Mica, Phenyl Trimethicone, Synthetic Wax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Tribehenate/Isostearate/Eicosan Dioate, Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate, Polyethylene, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Isostearate, Octadecene/Ma Coplymer Octadodecyl/Beta-Sitosteryl Esters, Stearalkonium Bentonite, Octyldodecanol, Ethyl Vanillin, Propylene Carbonate, Octyldodecyl PCA, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Beta-Sitosterol, Tin Oxide. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Red 7 Lake, Carmine, Iron Oxide, Red 30 Lake, Red 6.

Charlotte Tilbury At-A-Glance
Charlotte Tilbury's journey into creating her own makeup line began back in her teen years when she discovered the transformative power of makeup. Fast-forward several years and celebrity clients later, Tilbury made a name for herself as a makeup artist who epitomized the glamorous beauty of the supermodel era in the 90's. Along the way, she became a consultant for beauty brands, and eventually decided to create her own line of makeup and select skincare products in 2013.
One of the strong suits of Charlotte Tilbury's makeup is her take on color. The woman knows her way around flattering a complexion and making features pop, and you can see that in her shade range. That doesn't mean you won't find some misses along the way, but as a whole, the line offers an impressive selection of color.
Tilbury's skincare, on the other hand, doesn't fare quite as well. Between the use of jar packaging and some highly fragranced formulas, skin is left compromised (see individual reviews for details).
In no small way Tilbury's years of painting beautiful faces has helped shape what her makeup line is today. If you don't mind the $$$ factor, it's worth taking a look at the standouts which earn our highest rating.
Strengths: Excellent color selection; natural-looking foundation and concealer.
Weaknesses: The iconic Magic Cream comes in a jar; some highly fragranced formulas.

All reader reviews by Steph
I felt compelled to write a review of Gilgamesh after some of the more negattive reviews of Gilgamesh. I dined here last night and thought it was fab, and the service was excellent. Upon arrival, we went to the bar and were greeted with a waiter immediately who came to take our order. After half an hour we moved in to the enormous restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes from Sushi, to the duck salad and the sashimi. All were great. We never once had any problems with the service and all the waiters and waitresses were attentive. The only thing I would say about this restauramt is that it is best not to go if you are looking for a quiet, intimate atmosphere (the large space makes this difficult). But if you are looking for a buzzy upbeat restaurant and bar which serves great food and lovely cocktails - this is it. I will definately go again!
