I've read recently many responses to the recent news of John Dehlin, popular Mormon podcaster, facing church discipline and likely excommunication. Attitudes are predictably drawn for the most part, with the typical saint feeling he disrupts faith and ought to face discipline, and others feeling Dehlin is being unjustly censored.
In some cases, though, there are particularly deep running feelings. Especially among those who have felt to return to faith while still struggling with doubts. For these people, Dehlin facing excommunication is scary in and of itself, but more than that, the sometimes vitriolic reaction of the faithful saints – a group to which they long to feel belonging – is shocking and repulsive.
Imagine, if you can, trying to return to a group that never knew it had lost you, only to find that group seeming to turn, as a unit, and rip apart another just like you.
I don't know how you would react, but I know my response would not be positive in any way. It would take more willpower than I have to continue to contribute to such a group, feeling like I was empowering it to do more of the same.
So let's talk for just a minute about John Dehlin. Let's get some facts. Then let's talk about how bad we are at judging people, and why, whatever we conclude about Brother Dehlin, we're probably wrong.
Let's warm up with some inoffensive facts
- Brother Dehlin began Mormon Stories Podcast in 2005. From the beginning it seems clear that the tone of the podcast was meant to talk about problems with the church. Episode 1 was about efforts to inflate baptisms and numbers and speculation about why the church keeps activity statistics secret.
- Mormon Stories has included interviews of both pro and anti lds personalities, but Dehlin tries to take no *overt* stance either way.
- Brother Dehlin has considered himself faithful and active, but wavered occasionally in his self-evaluation.
- Dehlin's podcast and associated properties evolved into a non-profit, Mormon Stories, which pays him about 40,000 us dollars per year.
- Dehlin has been criticized by members and non-members alike for his inconsistent approach to what he does. Some saying he goes too far, some saying he doesn't go far enough.
- Some report that Dehlin's work has encouraged them to stay in the church. Others report that he was instrumental in helping them escape.
- John Dehlin has chosen to publicize his church discipline experience.
Those are some facts that I think we can all agree on without getting too judgy. Where things get difficult is when we try to examine Dehlin as a person. It becomes particularly difficult because there are so many who struggle with feelings of doubt, and they *resonate* with his message. They feel they have found a kindred spirit, and begin to identify with him. That's just normal human reaction, and there's nothing wrong with it. But it certainly makes a critical examination of behaviors difficult when those behaviors are used to imply conclusions about the character of the person.
After all, as with Mormonism, adherents only see the best. Those who doubt tend to see the worst.
And John Dehlin becomes a reverse microcosm of Mormonism. Believers in Dehlin hear the accusations and strongly feel they are attacked personally. Those who "doubt" Dehlin can only see flaws, feel they know the truth, and wonder how people can believe.
Now some potentially offensive facts and talk about villians
Let's be fair. Dehlin has done a lot of good and a lot of bad. Yes, people have left the church directly because of his actions. Yes, other people have remained in the church thanks to his work. But each of us is responsible for tremendous hurt and tremendous help in the lives of others. None of us, if we're honest, want everything about us to be revealed. We are all flawed, and all of us fail at our goals from time to time. None of us ever would want our character to be judged solely by the results of our actions – because we all screw up. Even with the best intentions, the worst outcomes are possible.
None of us think of ourselves as villains.
Yes, there have been some behaviors of Dehlin that raise red flags for the believers – things that make the believer suspect ulterior motives are at play. I'll talk about them here, but then I'll talk about why most of us are probably wrong in our conclusions about those behaviors:
- One recent post on a somewhat disturbing "fan site" called DearJohnDehlin pointed out, accurately, that John Dehlin censors responses on his facebook pages, and on comments on his site. Faithful perspectives which disagree with his chosen perspective on the podcast are removed or never approved. Some faithful LDS posters are banned.
- Dehlin has set himself up in such a way that he strongly gives emphasis to doubting perspectives, and leaves plenty of room for Dehlin to rhetorically support those views without research, evidence, or sources.
- Multiple guests and analysts have pointed out how weak his research and knowledge is in important areas of Mormonism – even failing to recognize basic doctrines of the church in certain episodes.
- Dehlin has repeatedly cited notorious antagonists of Mormonism as "top rate historians" and also actively encouraged listeners to visit specific anti-mormon websites for credible information.
In these facts, the anti-Dehlin sees malice – a villain at work. The Dehlinite probably has the instinct to dismiss these claims as altogether false. Again – echoes of Mormonism.
I suggest that the reality is neither. These facts are all true, as best I can tell from available resources, but I suggest that they don't tell the story you think they do. Just as a slew of facts compiled into a single document fails to tell the story, or even a portion of the "truth" about Mormonism, (you know what I'm talking about) a single document, no matter how well cited, cannot adequately encapsulate the spiritual and emotional journey of a human being over the past 10 years. Indeed, by choosing the facts we want, we can tell whatever story we want to; about Mormonism, about John Dehlin, about ourselves.
Mental framing and Lawrence of Arabia
When I look over the vitriolic discourse around the person and behaviors of John Dehlin I wonder if maybe we're missing out on the real story: The story of a man who entered a mental frame of doubt, and decided to share.
I suggest that John Dehlin is a man who was persuaded, probably long before he began the podcast, that the so-called anti-mormon "facts" about the church were all true, and never really escaped that belief. In coming to terms with those doubts and concerns, he also found himself on top of a vibrant and profitable enterprise, and behaved simply as most of us would. When challenged, he reacted to appease and placate. When attacked, he reacted by defending himself. When given the opportunity to make money, he took it. When he thought he was helping, he felt good. If a behavior would preserve or improve his audience, he would be more likely to do it. I'm in no way suggesting that any of this was a conscious decision. Like all of us, Brother Dehlin is subject to psychological framing which determines how we make decisions. Without the framing of "the church is true, obviously." Dehlin made completely rational decisions which fit the circumstances of the moment and which didn't need to consider the truthfulness of the church at all.
We all do this, all the time, with our own mental frameworks.
In my opinion, the evidence for my theory is all there in the documents provided by those obsessed with him. The authors' mistake was in searching through 10 years' worth of data, and looking for a single motive or theory to explain him. These researchers have their biases before they begin researching and simply look for data to support it. They are no different than a Brodie researching Mormonism and choosing to take the worst possible data and interpretations. Their findings are not given in the context of time or circumstance, merely offered as evidence of Dehlin's inconsistency, which they obliquely suggest is the result of malice towards the church.
But we're all inconsistent, aren't we?
For me, the realization came as I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time. At one point, Lawrence's guide attempts to draw a pistol that Lawrence gave him the previous night. A stranger guns down the guide. This stranger approaches and picks up the gun – which belonged to Lawrence just a few hours ago – and asks "Is it yours?" Lawrence replies with "no, it was his." The stranger then takes it for himself.
This shook me. It shook me because I realized I'm the kind of man who would probably have said "Yes, it's mine. Give it to me." or at least "I just gave it to him," in an effort to try and get it. But Lawrence doesn't. He tells the simple truth, unaltered by the mental frame of being in the presence of an apparently murderous stranger asking if you want your gun back. I don't have that kind of consistency – that kind of mental framing. Indeed, few do.
Dehlin's mental frame.
In reality, I think that John Dehlin likely has very little feeling towards the church, positive or negative. It seems pretty clear that he was checked out, spiritually, quite some time ago. The evidence for this idea includes statements like when he would say he felt he was "temple worthy" but in the same sentence report that he was not paying tithing – a requirement for temple worthiness. This kind of attitude, repeated in various comments over the past several years, indicates an increasing detachment from the doctrines and principles of belief – the mental framework of faith – while his interviews and other commentary reveal an ongoing interest in the church only in terms of analysis, culture and, more centrally, his ability to define his place in it, and his audience's place in it, regardless of specific beliefs. His perspective is not spiritual. It is merely practical. Or "uncorrelated" to borrow a term.
And with that practicality comes a simple explanation for all of the behaviors which so many faithful find repugnant: He was simply reacting in the moment according to his operating framework, just as we all do. For example, when he found his podcast growing, it would only be natural to cut out voices which criticize it, no matter the belief of the attacker. Just as Apple would delete comments from those who claim Android is the best phone operating system, Dehlin would protect his brand. You would not call Apple malicious. Nor should you judge Dehlin to be so.
Similarly, he would feel no need to research the facts presented on his show, since he already accepted them. In his framework, there was no problem with the data, and, because of the format of the show, there was no need to prepare beforehand. Others would likely later arrive on social media or on the website and point out inconsistencies, however, such voices were easily silenced by Dehlin's own certainty in his perhaps unconscious conclusions about the church, and the desire to maintain his image as an intellectual. Again, not in a malicious or prideful way, but simply in a matter-of-fact, practical way.
Anti-Mormon intellectuals, as potential guests on his show, must be complimented and respected so that they keep coming. Criticize them, and you risk your business. Naturally, when asked about those people or their websites, he would say glowing things. They were his friends and collaborators, after all. This isn't malice against the church. It's just business.
Let's be better than this.
I bring all this up because I want each of us to ask if we'd really like to be treated the way some are treating Brother Dehlin – to have your character judged by a handful of actions. Would it be fair for somebody to write a paper in which they drag up every inconsistent statement we've ever made in the past 10 years? I know I'd have plenty. Would it be decent to have others pointing out our blind-spots in public forums?
Certainly, one might argue that Dehlin brought this critical examination on himself by both being a public figure and by being the one who is actively publicizing his own church discipline experience. To such a thought process I would say that perhaps in modern society such an idea is acceptable, that if somebody is willing and actively being public, we're free to scrutinize and publicize all we find along with all our judgments. But I would quickly follow such a statement with the idea that as Mormons we ought to be better than just what's expected in the world at large. Gossip, backbiting, and judging are certainly not in harmony with our efforts to seek after the praiseworthy, virtuous, and lovely. And if we're to acknowledge the "truth" about somebody, we should make our best efforts and making it the "whole truth," and not just the part that tells the story we want it to. Let's leave the judgment calls to those who have the right to make them.
Finally, for the sake of those who are John Dehlin, but in different forms, let us be kind. Remember that the person sitting next to you may have faith that is hanging by a thread. What they don't need is for their friends to publicly criticize others whose only mistake was to be more public about their struggles.

For a limited time only you can get a free review copy of The Path Of The Sword by clicking:
The book is a fantasy novella set in alternative Dark Age where boys train as warriors and the world of the spirit is never far away. As the first in the series it introduces Luan, the hero who is taking his first steps on The Path Of The Sword.
This offer is only available for a short period of time so if you fancy a readable fantasy adventure with a hint of the celtic about it then my advice is give it a go.
But of course I would say that, wouldn't I?
Seriously, I would love it if you read the book and wrote a review.
(PS. Yes I have changed the cover, and yes I have done it AFTER the cover reveal which is daft, and yes I do have a graphic designer friend who said "Ooh, I like that, now just give me a moment…)

Kelly Reichardt's latest cinematic marvel unfolds at the borders of nature and culture; her pared down minimalism so unobtrusive it merges with the surroundings almost undetected.
It changes our viewing experience, opening up new perspectives that take realism to a higher plane, a form of cinematic purity in the André Bazin sense.
'The 'Night Moves' of its title is a boat, but could just as easily describe the dark shadowy undercurrents that set the film's distinctive tone. It gives a powerful sense of foreboding and suspense but the film never plays like a thriller; being as far removed from genre filmmaking as her outstanding revisionist Western, 'Meek's Cutoff'.
There's an eerie calm here, only broken by an almighty explosion when three eco warriors blow up a hydroelectric dam to make a statement but it comes across more like 'theatre' as another character points out in one of the film's best lines.
We see the build-up in minute detail and its devastating aftermath when everything goes horribly wrong; all done with a penetrating psychological depth.
Jesse Eisenberg is a brooding presence in familiar territory playing ringleader Josh, an introspective loaner with a tremendous unjustified sense of his own self-importance; quite different from Reichardt's usual sympathetic lead.
Dakota Fanning plays his vulnerable accomplice, Dena, with real emotional force. It's a terrific performance.
And Peter Sarsgaard brings a worldly playfulness to a complex ex-marine, Harmon, for whom the operation seems more important than the cause.
This is what naive idealism and Dostoevsky style guilt look like from a microscopic view point.

My child never talks about his school day with me!! What do I do??
Welcome to the real world of parenting! We all have those moments when we think of ALL the time we invested with our little one, only to find them nonchalant when we gently ask them –'How was school today?'
As a parent I have gone through that phase twice, being the proud mother of two children. I have tried every trick in the book including repeating the same question in different tones – gently at first, coaxing a little, raising my voice a lot and then finally giving up in frustration.
He would simply refuse to answer, preferring to read a book. I knew I had to find a way to handle this six year old and that too real quick!
I happened to speak to my cousin Sadhna (mother of 3 children), the next day and I casually discussed my situation with her. Three children, I felt, provided enough experience in parenting. And I was right. She understood my plight and offered me some practical suggestions. I decided to put her suggestions to practice during the very next week.
What ensued during the week:
Monday, evening, at home:
"So Ronav, whose birthday was it in school today?" (the probability of having a birthday celebration everyday is high ,in schools!!)
My son looked at me briefly before answering-"Nikita's. We ate cake."
It was a start, more importantly the method was working!!! So I took this idea forward.
Tuesday, evening, at home:
"Ronav, did you and your classmates share snacks today? Whose lunch did you like best."
"Kavita and I exchanged snacks today Mummy. She had got yummy pasta and I gave her my dhoklas." "I think she liked your dhoklas." (he added, as an after thought!)
"Does your teacher also sit with all of you while you snack? Did you share your snack with her?
"Yes Mummy, teacher sits with us while we eat our snacks. Today she even told us a story during snack time. The hare and the tortoise story. Do you know that one? The one where the hare and tortoise keep a race and the tortoise comes first. Can you believe that?? A tortoise won the race!!"
I was definitely making progress here. We launched into a conversation discussing the story and decided that the tortoise was definitely smarter than the hare.
Wednesday , evening, at home:
"Was there playtime today? Did you play with your friends Ronav?"
Ronav launched into a detailed explanation about all the games he played in school. Apparently he played catch-ball, hide and seek , hopscotch etc. "Hopscotch is my favourite Mummy" , he told me decidedly. Next week it would be catch-ball J
The week continued in a similar manner and with each passing day, I knew that my son was opening up more and more with me. There were still things which he would not tell me, but now I had a confidence that with time and some smart parenting, I could easily handle that too.
So my dear readers, any guesses on what was the reason for such a change in my child? How did this change happen? What was the advice I had received from my cousin?
Well it is rather a case of what she told me NOT to do. If you observed carefully, the entire week I refrained from asking my child the one direct question which I always used to ask before- "How was your school day?"
And that was all the change that was needed. Children I have discovered, only answer what they want to answer. To get them to respond, we need to ask them questions in a way which will make them want to answer us! Not a bad idea to try out, eh!!
Few questions you could ask your child…instead of "How was your day"
- Who was sitting next to you during snack time in school?
- Did you help anybody at school today? Who?
- Who made you laugh today ? Did your friends share any funny joke with you?
- Who brought the tastiest lunch to school today?
- What is the best thing you like about your teacher?
- What games do you play during short breaks?
- Imagine you are the teacher. Which subject would you like to teach your students?
..and so on….
Happy Parenting!!

Back in 2011, a set of colleagues and I looked at the economic landscape and realized: Buying property was essentially a rebalancing move.
While the equity market had bounced back impressively from 2009 lows, in many areas real estate was still flattened out after the previous boom and bust, with the market burdened by oversupply and underwhelming demand.

Four companies expand, add jobs in Palm Beach County
The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County has announced that four companies are adding a combined 46 positions after it assisted with their expansions.
In the largest expansion, BoatSmith moved into a 22,000-square-foot facility in West Palm Beach and will create 24 jobs. The company builds and furnishes boats.
The second growing company is Commercial Energy Specialists, which does water treatments for institutional and commercial swimming pools, spas and water parks. It is moving to a 20,000-square-foot facility in Jupiter. The company will create 12 jobs and retain 30 more.
The same facility will house Federal Aviation Administration-certified contractor James S. Lavold, which is creating eight jobs.
Finally, Bulk Candy Store moving into a 17,000-square-foot warehouse/retail building in West Palm Beach to nearly double in size. It will create two jobs and retain 15.
The BDB helped the companies with permitting, tax exemptions and workforce training.
"Since existing local companies are the source for sustainable growth in Palm Beach County, the BDB proactively cultivates relationships with local businesses to make sure they are aware of the resources and services that are available to them," BDB President and CEO Kelly Smallridge said in a news release.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
The following passage is an excerpt from an interview of the son of former slaves by a government employee hired to conduct interviews as part of the Federal Writers' Project.
"It has been so long since I heard my parents tell about slavery I couldn't tell you straight. [My mother] told till she died, talked about how the Yankees done when they come through. They took axes and busted up good furniture. They ate up and wasted good rations . . . [My parents] wanted freedom but it wasn't like they thought it would be. They didn't know how it would be . . . In some ways it was better and some ways it was worse. They had to work or starve is what they told me."
Question 1: How might this interview be useful as evidence of the conditions facing slaves at the end of the Civil War?
Question 2: What about this source might make it less useful as evidence of the conditions facing slaves at the end of the Civil War?
About the Assessment
Like the Slave Quarters assessment, this question requires students to consider the relative strengths and weaknesses of a document as historical evidence. Students with a sophisticated understanding of how to source a document will be able to explain that Nelson's account is useful in that it was informed by his parents, who were slaves at the end of the Civil War. They will also point out, however, that Nelson was offering second-hand information, making his interview less useful as specific evidence of the conditions facing slaves at the end of the war.

Brilliant entertainment for a bunch of 6-7 year olds (plus parents, a 4 yo and 10 yo) and zero stress ...
I wanted entertainment at my 7 year old girls b-day party, so it didn't all fall to me. I was upset that after lots of research I choose Tony and when he arrived my daughter was unimpressed. He had a tuff crowd but within minutes all that was heard was squeals and laughter. He held there attention and was very entertaining, even all the parents were laughing. I recommend Tony, he turned a potential disaster into laughter and smiles. Thank you tony
Thank you so much Tony for helping to make our daughter's 7th birthday so special and truly magical! Tony was just brilliant at keeping the kids and adults alike entertained. Everybody had an absolute ball. Everyone - from 3 year olds to mums and dads - were in awe at the abundance of tricks that Tony had up his sleeve. We are so happy and grateful to have found Tony's magic show. Thank you so much!
We had Tony at our daughter's birthday party. What a performer. the tricks even left the adults spellbound. A true entertainer and old school magician. Would highly recommend him to any children's party
Tony was fantastic and kept a large group of six year olds completely engaged.
There are many areas you need to consider when planning a party, and almost every area feeds into the entertainment you choose. The duration of the party needs to allow for set up and set down of entertainment; deciding whether it's an afternoon or morning party – and where it will be held - at home, at a venue or in a park.

Aardy, You are a truly amazing magician. For two hours you kept a room full 8 year olds (+adults) laughing and entertained. I don't believe I have ever heard children laugh so hard for so long! You are inspiring and today opened a whole new world of entertainment for these kids. Can't wait to see you again - I personally have never seen a magic show but am now inspired to see more! Thank you for a wonderful day and sharing you brilliance with us! Kind regards
Beth: Today we had Aardy the Magician teach 60 children at our vacation care how to do some magic tricks and then he performed a magic show and the lessons were really practicle really good and got the kids excited, there were show bags they all got an item that they could take home and show their friends and family so it was really good Tatiana: And the magic show was very engaging, the kids were loving it, crawling up to the stage and laughing, it was very good and he got a few of them on stage and they were rewally enjoying themselves especially the older kids which is quite hard to get them engaged sometimes. Everyone enjoyed it, it was great- I even laughed a lot. Source: 2nd testimonial in this video https://vimeo.com/133523237
Today we have used Aardy the magician, we have used magicians before but we haven't quite had the experience like today. It was great the kids loved it the full 2 hours were engaging- could ask for a better Magician Thank you. Source: first testimonial in this vid https://vimeo.com/133523237
The stand where David performs is always crowded; visitors are fascinated and confounded by his sleight of hand, but he also has an excellent manner of presentation which he has honed for this particular type of event. He makes his material and acts very relevant and tailored to the exhibitor's business objectives and doesn't merely do off-the-shelf routines. There is no question that he is a real crowd-puller. Other exhibitors now try to book stands close to where David is performing, as they feel it increases the level of activity they experience on their stands. source: https://vimeo.com/37161133
We had David last year as well. this year we had no doubts about calling him back. Once again fantastic show-we had all the booths around us empty because they were all at our booth thanks to David. His trick his comedy his gimmick play a wonderful thing for us getting customers to the booth and not only that he speaks about the product which in innovative and very different from what others do People though he was apart of Cyberoam -he created a product information that anyone could understand. He is fantastic. You need to have him at your booth if you want the crowds-and if you want to raise the targets.

Foster Youth to Attend Inauguration, Discuss Reforms to the Nation's Foster Care System With Members of Congress
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.), co-founder and Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth, announced she has invited three former foster youth to attend President Obama's upcoming Inauguration, where they will also participate in meetings with lawmakers to raise awareness around the need for change within the nation's foster care system.
The former foster youth will be visiting Washington one week after President Obama signed into law the first major legislative victory of the Congressional Caucus on FosterYouth, the Uninterrupted Scholars Act, which grants child welfare agencies access to school records of foster youth within their care. Previously, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) made it difficult for child welfare agencies to obtain education records in a timely fashion, causing many foster youth to have to complete the same coursework multiple times and graduate late. This resulted in too many foster youth choosing to drop out of school. The legislation was a result of bicameral bipartisan cooperation with the Senate Caucus on Foster Youth.
"I'm pleased that these three outstanding individuals have accepted our invitation to attend the Inauguration and seize this opportunity at the very beginning of this new Congress to raise awareness around the need for transformative change within our nation's foster care system. They are a testament to the perseverance of so many children in the system, who when given proper support can overcome tremendous odds," said Rep. Bass. I can't think of better advocates to make the case for reform and am honored to accompany them as they meet with key leaders here in Washington."
Bios for the three youth can be found below:
Elbert Belcher, age 21
21 years in Kentucky's foster care system
Elbert was born into Kentucky's foster care system where he spent 21 years in state care. He grew up with the polished truth that his mother was a severe alcoholic and unable to take care of him or his siblings. Throughout his childhood of being moved from different homes throughout the state, he was fortunate to remain with all his siblings. At the age of 12, he was adopted and after four years of an unfortunate and abusive adoption he was placed back into care. Entering Neccos Independent living program at 19, Elbert received his G.E.D and began taking college courses at Bluegrass Community and Technical College. Elbert plans on continuing his education and majoring in social work. Elbert now serves on both Kentucky Youth Leadership Council and Kentucky Foster Care Council, as an advocate and voice for foster youth. Elbert is a marathon runner, writer and....Foster Kid
Sixto Cancel, age 20
20 Years in Connecticut's foster care system
Sixto first entered foster care when he was 11 months old, and moved through severalfoster homes for the past 20 years in care with his ten brothers and sisters. He currently lives in Richmond, Va., where he is a freshman at Virginia Commonwealth University. Sixto chaired the Southwestern Connecticut "A Voice to be Heard" Youth Leadership Board. He has designed, secured funding for, and implemented a pilot program called Stellar Works – a program to prepare children in foster care for post-secondary education. Sixto has also served as a Jim Casey Young Fellow, where he contributed his own perspective to the national and state-level conversation about youth transitioning out of the foster care system. Sixto is on the advisory board for the American Institutes Research on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Allied youth.
Daniesha Tobey-Richards, age 19
5 years in Massachusetts' foster care system
Daniesha was born in Falmouth, Mass. She was placed into foster care at the age 1, and her mother was granted reunification when Daniesha was seven. Her family moved to a large city where Daniesha lived for the next seven years until she and her siblings were, once again, placed in the care of the state. When Daniesha was entering 10th grade, she and her younger sister were placed in the same foster home in a large farming town. From there, Daniesha got involved in sports, theatre, and art. She found numerous supportive adults in her high school. One teacher, specifically, mentored her and made her a part of his family. Currently, Daniesha is entering her 2nd year at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and is majoring in psychology. She hopes to become a licensed psychologist.

WELCOME TO FOR THE JOY OF IT! Creative Retreat
A quiet country retreat in the middle of the forest yet minutes from the town of Mendocino. Come enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest, hot tub under the stars, play in my yurt/art studio, and walk the labyrinth in the meadow. Wildlife sightings are possible from the solar greenhouse loft. You will be the only guests here unless you bring others and rent my other room. My place is nurturing and rejuvenating, unique and unforgettable!
No pets please. No drugs or smoking of any kind. Moderate drinking OK. No parties. No candles. It is fine if you need to arrive late. Just let me know ahead of time and we can make a plan for access to your room. Quiet time after 10. Hot tub hours vary with the season but usually available from 8 am - 9:30 pm. Thats not a rigid rule, its just that I sleep near the hot tub so need privacy at that end of the house later in the evening. Thanks.
I've lived in Mendocino and on this property for over 30 years. I raised my three sons here in the forest and then founded and run FOR THE JOY OF IT! Creative Arts Center. Aside from my vacation rentals, I offer creative retreats and have an expressive arts therapy practice. I teach people how they can use the arts for healing, self discovery and as spiritual practice. In my own creative life I paint, make art quilts, write and play the piano. I love nature and take myself out into it as often as possible.

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering | Year: 2013
Labyrinth weirs with multiple crest elevations (i.e., staged labyrinth weirs) can be used in spillway design to confine base flows to a section of the crest and/or satisfy discharge hydrograph requirements. However, inadequate hydraulic design information is available specific to staged labyrinth weirs. In this study, the flow characteristics of various staged labyrinth weir configurations (laboratory-scale) were tested. Observations of staged labyrinth weir flow characteristics are presented. The influences of the lower stage length, depth, and location on discharge were studied and head-discharge relationships were experimentally determined. The accuracy of a head-discharge predictive technique on the basis of superposition and traditional labyrinth weir empirical data was also evaluated. Relative to the experimental results, the superposition technique estimations were generally within ±5% for all configurations tested except at lower headwater depths, where maximum estimation errors occurred (maximum of 15%). When discharge was limited to the lower stage weir segment, the predictive discharge errors were up to 20% for some notch configurations. This indicates the discharge of the lower stage segment is location-specific because of the complexity of the labyrinth weir geometry. © 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Engineering Fracture Mechanics | Year: 2010
An extensive experimental program has been conducted on pre-cracked specimens of a rock-model material to investigate crack propagation and coalescence from frictional discontinuities. Prismatic gypsum specimens have been prepared with three pre-existing closed cracks (flaws). The flaws all have a constant length of 12.7. mm and are parallel to each other. Different geometries are obtained by changing the angle of the flaws with respect to the direction of loading, the spacing, and the continuity of the flaws. In the experiments, three different types of cracks have been observed: wing cracks, coplanar shear, and oblique shear cracks. These are the same types of cracks observed with open flaws. Crack initiation occurs simultaneously at all the tips of the flaws for wing and shear cracks. Mean crack initiation stress is higher for secondary cracks than for wing cracks. The differences however decrease as the flaws are oriented at smaller angles with the direction of loading. The types of coalescence (i.e. the type of cracks and crack pattern that link two flaws) from closed flaws are similar to those from open flaws. However, the type of coalescence observed in a specimen with open flaws is not necessarily produced when using the same geometry but with closed flaws. The most important conclusion reached in this research is that the fracturing processes in open and closed flaws are similar. Friction along the flaws increases the initiation and coalescence stress and favors linkage through shear cracks. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

In water resources planning studies and dam safety risk analyses it is common to use best estimates of the probability of floods, best estimates of peak flood levels and best estimates of damage to estimate the "expected" value of economic consequences or fatalities from flood events or the uncontrolled release of a reservoir resulting from a dam breach. Typical practice does not consider the uncertainties (aleatory and epistemic) in various elements of the risk analysis, In risk analysis for dams, the failure to address uncertainties in the elements of the risk analysis can have important implications to; 1) understanding the distribution of consequences that can result from a dam breach, 2) level of confidence in the risk results, 3) potential area of inundation, the residences, infrastructure, and the population-at-risk, and 4) deriving a Bayesian estimate of the expected-value of losses from a dam breach. This paper looks at two aspects of risk analysis studies for dams; alternative approaches for calculating risk and the effect of uncertainties in the dam breach and inundation analysis and in the flood damage relationships on the estimate of flood damages. In the example presented, a seismic risk analysis for an earth embankment is presented in which the economic consequences of uncontrolled release of the reservoir is evaluated. The aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the frequency of dam failure, the dam breach and inundation analysis and in the flood damage assessment are explicitly propagated through the estimates of the frequency distribution on economic consequences. © Copyright 2015 Association of State Dam Safety Officials, Inc.

A Discussion Board was started on the professional networking site Linkedin. Its goal was to review the state of practice of Limited Mobility Grouting in karstic environments for foundation support. The discussion focused mostly on hole layout and grout depth relative to foundation stress or size, grouting procedures and refusal criteria, verification, quality control and quality assurance procedures. This paper summarizes the interesting ideas generated within the Discussion Board, and reviews recent publications on the subject. It also contains the author's experiences in the use of LMG for foundation applications in karst. © 2012 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Association of State Dam Safety Officials Annual Conference 2014, Dam Safety 2014 | Year: 2014
The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that there are approximately 4,000 deficient dams in the United States. Dams provide many benefits to society, but dam failures can have severe consequences such as fatalities, environmental impacts, infrastructure damage, and lost revenue. Dam breach inundation studies are performed in an effort to manage these potential consequences. There are a variety of model approaches and modeling software available for these studies, including one-dimensional models such as HEC-RAS; and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models using the two-dimensional shallow water approach or three-dimensional simulations based upon the complete set of Navier-Stokes equations. Inundation modeling of several existing embankment dams was performed using 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D models using HECRAS (1-D) and Flow-3D (2-D and 3-D). The results of this study include observed differences between each model approach, including flow depths, velocities, and flood wave arrival. Information regarding model development and simulation times is also included. Finally, observations concerning numerical model limitations are discussed, with several generalized conclusions regarding the suitability and efficiency of each model for inundation studies.

Association of State Dam Safety Officials Annual Conference 2014, Dam Safety 2014 | Year: 2014
The use of Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) placed on the downstream slope of embankment dams to provide erosion resistance during overtopping was started 30 years ago. Since that time, about 120 such projects have been completed in the United States to increase spillway capacity for infrequent overtopping flows. Because most of these improvements were designed to accommodate rare flooding events, little information is available on the performance of such spillways when overtopped. However, recent extreme rainfall events caused several RCC spillways to be activated. Also, there have been some spillways designed for fairly routine storm events that have been subjected to full scale testing. This paper will focus on the lessons learned and/or re-learned in the past ten years regarding the performance of RCC overtopping protection and spillways when subjected to flows from extreme flooding events, including flows carrying large amounts of gravel and rock. In addition, the paper will evaluate the performance of several RCC mixtures due to weathering effects-mainly freeze-thaw (F/T) cycles in variable climates around the country. Some of the new topics covered include: • The performance of two dams with RCC overtopping protection that were subjected to the 2013 flooding in Colorado. • The performance of an RCC faced inlet structure in Las Vegas that was subjected to an extreme rainfall event on August 25, 2013. The six hour storm event was nearly twice the annual average rainfall in Las Vegas and the resulting flows included large amounts of erosive debris. • The effect of aggregate gradation on the compressive strength of the RCC and the associated durability of the exposed RCC. • Various covers for RCC to limit F/T damage and a discussion on the use of air-entrained RCC. Based on these and other case studies, Conclusions and Recommendations are presented to improve the state of the practice for RCC overtopping protection and spillway design.

This paper presents the results of the calibration of resistance factors for the pullout capacity of soil nails in three types of soil. The data and statistical parameters used in this calibration were obtained in a recent research program. The calibration was conducted using reliability methods, where the target reliability index was selected to be representative of structures with a relatively high degree of redundancy. The calibration used a Monte Carlo simulation with up to 10,000 random simulations for each variable. Calibrated resistance factors used in LRFD design were found to provide results that, on average, are comparable to those obtained using safety factors currently used in practice. © 2013 American Society of Civil Engineers.

6th International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures: Hydraulic Structures and Water System Management, ISHS 2016 | Year: 2016
The dissipation of excess energy from flows exiting a spillway is often needed to prevent or reduce to acceptable levels conceivable negative impacts to the downstream channel, spillway, and dam (e.g., erosion, undermining). The optimization of a hydraulic jump type stilling basin using general-purpose, published design methodologies (i.e., USBR, SAF, etc.) for a project can be challenging, as these methodologies may not account for all site specific conditions and structure formulations by designers. Also, it is not often clear to a designer as to which flow rates (and corresponding flood events) will have the greatest influence on the basin geometry and features (i.e., jump formation location and stability). This can be further obscured for projects where a high tailwater condition is predicted during flood events. This paper presents several recent dam rehabilitation projects where a high tailwater impacted the designs of the stilling basins. Each project features a different spillway, chute, and basin configuration. An overview of each site and summary of key challenges encountered during the design of the spillways and stilling basins is included. In addition, a discussion of which design methods were selected, why they were selected, and additional measures that were taken to address the uncertainties at the site is included. This documentation of unique site conditions and design methodologies for stilling basins is intended to show the importance of collaboration between the designer and the owner in selecting a design approach for a specific situation.

The flow patterns observed in supercritical flows at bends in open channels are encountered in spillways, canals, and drainage works - this complex flow condition has been investigated more than 80 years ago, first with hydraulic models and more recently using numerical models. This paper presents a numerical investigation using a selection of experimental data from Dr. A. T. Ippen and a commercially available 3-dimensional CFD solver. A comparison of the numerical results to the physical data is presented, highlighting the ability of the numerical models to reproduce these complex water surface profiles, including the magnitude and location of standing waves. Modeling efforts were of a single fluid and used RNG and LES turbulence models. Furthermore, the observations, findings, and conclusions of this paper are discussed as they relate to open channel design.

Hannah Witton is a 20-something British YouTuber that we have developed a bit of a crush on lately. The University of Birmingham graduate makes entertaining and laid-back videos on topics ranging from relationships, sex, makeup and movie reviews. Her YouTube channel has received a collective 4.5 million views and has more than 70,000 subscribers.
Much like YouTuber Laci Green, Witton is a supporter of sex positivity and more comprehensive sex education. She also makes videos that attempt to guide whoever's watching through the messy, confusing world that is dating, but without the clichéd, ridiculous rules women can find in the likes of Cosmopolitan. On top of that, she's an oddball and sometimes totally awkward, but that's what makes her so relatable; she is unabashedly herself. She isn't an expert, but she's been to the rodeo before, and she's here to help you—whether it's by making you laugh or sharing a dating story you can relate to.
Here are a few Hannah Witton videos that you should give a go:
Witton answers an important question in this random vlog. With all the slut-shaming going on in the world, it's integral for you to know who you're labeling a "slut" and why.
Witton got dumped. And she's here to share her pain. In this very honest vlog, she admits that she refuses to wallow in her sadness, will burst into tears if she's alone and you know what? It's all a part of the process.
In the first part of her sex-education series, Witton and fellow YouTuber Christopher Bingham talk about the basics of contraception. They aren't experts but still make sex-ed relatable and entertaining.

That Antivan brandy sure seems to get around, doesn't it? I love the fact that Zevran basically invited himself in. Too funny.
| naomis8329 chapter 1 . 7/25/2011
Definitely NSFW but ooh what fun. Now I wonder how she'll handle this in Act 3 when she's asked to go and get him for the Crows lol. Maybe a follow up is needed here. I can just imagine the look on her face when she realises who it is she's been sent to apprehend. And what will Zev say to her? Think about it at least lol.
Another wonderful short, a lot of fun.
Thanks for sharing hun
Take care

Hahahaha. . .Antivan brandy in your one-shots is like that damn gong on the mountaintop: As soon as you see it, you know trouble is coming. DON'T DRINK THE BRANDY! DON'T DRINK THE- Aw, you drank it. . .
Good fun. :)
| Enaid Aderyn chapter 1 . 7/22/2011
Okay, first of all this: "Can you try talking Sebastian out of wearing that face on his crotch? It's incredibly distracting." is made of win on its own.. Distracting. Yes. Not to mention creepy and ridiculous. :D
The family visit was the ideal way to get them all together, and I just love that Zevran simply trailed along and invited himself in. Somehow it just Felt Right. :D And possessive Loghain is rawr.
This: "Maker's red ass, it was my vacation, after all." WIN! ;DD Great job!

Bad girl! Naughty! (Smiles, like everyone else in the story)
| pulchritudo in omnia chapter 1 . 7/19/2011
I think I will need to fan myself now. Who would have thought Loghain would submit himself to sharing a woman with an elf. xD I always pictured him as a man who only believed in the typical one woman and one man relationship. Sexual here, obviously. I also always thought he'd be the kind of guy to only take someone on a bed, which you've written in here. But that's besides the point. Even in these works where they're basically three parts smut and one part everything else, you can definitely tell you have a really awesome writing style. I've been reading Lhi's story because I've been reading your challenges and became interested in them because of your style. I'm happy I did. :)
But these hot little one-shots are welcomed on the side. Yup. ;)
| Tyanilth chapter 1 . 7/18/2011
Wonderfully done, and oh no, Antivan Brandy again? When will they all learn? :) No, scratch that, they know already...
Challenge valiantly achieved. Oh, someone was asking for me? No, no Tyanilth to be seen here...:)
| Shakespira chapter 1 . 7/18/2011
As soon as I saw the brandy I shuddered. When will Loghain learn?
A great answer to the challenge, brandy notwithstanding! ;)
The meeting between Loghain and Korrine was hot and full of innuendo and it seemed as if they were going to combust right there on the docks.
Very hot between the three of them and I loved the line "Why not? I'm on vacation." Indeed.
Hot and awesome answer to the challenge.
| cloud1004 chapter 1 . 7/18/2011
Ha, Zevran and Antivan brandy? There's only one possible outcome! I think after this our taciturn Warden will be looking for you with a whip in his hand, Josie!
