No fireworks, no problem! The Mat-Su Valley has several fun and family-friendly ways to celebrate the Fourth of July this weekend, including the always unique Moose on Parade.
In downtown Wasilla, the annual Fourth of July parade promises to be a sea of red, white and blue as the floats wind their way through the town. It's one of the largest parades you'll see each year, and there's plenty of fun to be had. The parade begins at 11 a.m. sharp and continues through the early afternoon. Then, you can make your way to Wasilla Iditapark for the annual Mayor's Picnic, which starts at 1 p.m. Free food and drinks for everyone, so you don't want to miss out on this fun event.
In Talkeetna, the entire day is devoted to fun and patriotism. The events get started with the Moose on Parade event. This parade goes up and down Main Street in downtown Talkeetna and features painted moose that have been in front of the many Talkeetna businesses. Following the parade, the artistic moose are auctioned off as a fund-raiser for the historical society there.
At 2 p.m. on Christiansen Lake, the zany Cardboard Boat Regatta begins. If you think cardboard can't float, just wait until you see the creations people have come up with. It's always a fun event with lots of laughs. At 7 p.m. at the Talkeetna VFW parking lot, you'll find a "only in Talkeetna" event - the moose poop dropping. Yes, you read that correctly. A bucket of moose, uh, poop is dropped, with each "nugget" having a number on it. You can purchase these "nuggets" and the closest one to the target wins. You can't go through life without seeing an official moose poop dropping raffle once! Later that evening, between 9 and 10 p.m., the Denali Cooks wrap up the Fourth of July with a concert at the Fairview Inn.
In wake of the recent Sockeye Fire in the Willow area, there are strict restrictions on burning and a complete ban on fireworks. Please enjoy your Fourth of July in the Mat-Su Valley, but do it responsibly and remember to err on the side of caution. If your plans include camping, please be cognizant of the continued dry conditions and fire safety.
Have a great - and safe - Fourth of July!

As per the previous post, I'm really getting into the spirit of Autumn right about now. Jazz club affair. Not too dark, not too bright, but just right. Halloween seems to be the "holiday" that embodies that feeling like no other 'cuz folks legitmately want to be spooked, and yet, wanna see the smiling faces of the babies who trot around from house to house, decked out in the latest in Tigger n' Pooh costume wear.

You've Got That…….
Style is quite the thing, ain't it? I mean, you get the chance to say what you want about yourself without saying a word; few other instances in life exist like this. Lately, life seems to be a gentle give-and-pull of whether or not I will actually accept this fact. To be noticed? To be covert? To not give the slightest care at all? It is all in the beauty of having options, I suppose. I look forward to talking more about this in future posts.
From AM to PM
It's the price that you see,
You cannot get it out of me.
From the factionless freedoms,
Who are they to think I'm numb.
It's everyday how we say,
I'm gonna do it my way.
Your undecided little choice,
Prosperity provides a voice.
It's ok,
I'll admit,
I can admire your wit.
Light Hearts and Merry Christmas!
A smooth classic
Washed My Sins Away
Although I never thought I'd actually even begin to contemplate this, I am starting to entertain the idea of starting another blog solely dedicated to theology. I a lot of people see this subject as a heated one, but it doesn't have to be. Peace in the middle east? I'm still thinkin'……
Dear Diary,
Keeping some kind of journal can be very freeing, especially if there's plenty on the mind. Within those pages exists a written-out copy of the world as you see it from inside your head. While other days may provide themselves to be more diary-worthy than others, you might not regret writing down your daily thoughts as you look back months….or even years from right now. Words act as both the coldest and the warmest embrace, all at once.
Girly or tomboy?
Somewhere in the middle?
Sooner or later,
I'll find a greater riddle.
You see, what I need is
a way to say my style.
Is it punk?
Is it cute?
Is it pale
(not) like a newt?
I wanna be better than better,
even greater than "the realest".
What color does your mood read?
'Cause I'm tha color "illest"………….
they last a while.
Tough to beat,
but worth the trial.
Memories, they crack a smile.
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Such a lovely film surely deserves a place on this blog. The greatest word I could use to describe my viewing experience of this independent movie is none other than "spiritual". An entire world seemingly belongs to one child; nature cradles her like the mother she never had. It becomes pretty obvious from the start that the film is pressing to make the viewers ponder one particular question: What is it that you are afraid of?

The Feminist Research Group presents:
UEL Docklands Campus, room EB 3.02 4th April, 2-4pm, – all welcome!
Olivia Guaraldo, University of Verona, Italy
Is feminism still transformative or has it lost its ability to connect theory and practice and influence society as a whole? What are the needs that emerge from grassroots movements today? What happens to still unsolved issues such as inequality or the misogynistic imaginary at work in mainstream popular culture? How does 'professional' or 'academic' feminist theory respond? Are we still able to address political and cultural demands that come from 'outside' the academia?
In this lecture I address these issues drawing on the Italian experience between 2009 and 2011, a time during which the country witnessed an escalation of sexual scandals under Berlusconi. On February 13th, 2011, a nation-wide demonstration with over a million participants took place in many Italian cities. A new popular and moderate women's movement was being formed, the SNOQ, (acronym for Se Non Ora Quando? – which means If not now, when? ). The demonstration voiced a need "to strongly affirm women's dignity" and to draw attention to the fact that, despite decades of feminist activity, Italy remained a patriarchal country. The large popular demonstration was preceded by a debate among feminist intellectuals on the opportunities th event might present. Some were against it, denouncing the 'moralism' inherent in the use of the term 'dignity', while others recognized the necessity of a public expression of women's indignation. In my view this debate expressed some major tensions in Italian feminism and its relationship with society at large, and to some extent shows why Italy, in spite of its feminist tradition, still remains a patriarchal country.
After receiving a doctoral degree in Political Science from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, Olivia Guaraldo began researching and teaching at the University of Verona, Italy, where she is currently Adjunct Professor in Political Philosophy. Her main topics of research are 20th century political thought, feminist political theory, literary theory. Guaraldo attempts to combine a politically situated approach to philosophy with a 'gender sensitive' approach and a literary oriented analysis of culture, thought and society.
Her publications include Storylines. Narrative, History and Politics from an Arendtian Perspective, SoPhi, Jyväskylä: 2001; Politica e racconto. Trame arendtiane della modernità, Roma: Meltemi, 2003. Guaraldo has edited and introduced the Italian translations of Judith Butler's Precarious Life (Rome 2004) and Undoing Gender (Rome 2006). She has also edited and introduced the Italian translation of Hannah Arendt's essay Lying in Politics (Milan 2006). Her latest book, forthcoming, is a critical genealogy of violence in Western political thought, carried out from the viewpoint of vulnerability, loss, mourning.

It was from Henrietta Stackpole that she learned how Caspar Goodwood had come to Rome; an event that took place three days after Lord Warburton's departure. This latter fact had been preceded by an incident of some importance to Isabel — the temporary absence, once again, of Madame Merle, who had gone to Naples to stay with a friend, the happy possessor of a villa at Posilippo. Madame Merle had ceased to minister to Isabel's happiness, who found herself wondering whether the most discreet of women might not also by chance be the most dangerous. Sometimes, at night, she had strange visions; she seemed to see her husband and her friend — his friend — in dim, indistinguishable combination. It seemed to her that she had not done with her; this lady had something in reserve. Isabel's imagination applied itself actively to this elusive point, but every now and then it was checked by a nameless dread, so that when the charming woman was away from Rome she had almost a consciousness of respite. She had already learned from Miss Stackpole that Caspar Goodwood was in Europe, Henrietta having written to make it known to her immediately after meeting him in Paris. He himself never wrote to Isabel, and though he was in Europe she thought it very possible he might not desire to see her. Their last interview, before her marriage, had had quite the character of a complete rupture; if she remembered rightly he had said he wished to take his last look at her. Since then he had been the most discordant survival of her earlier time — the only one in fact with which a permanent pain was associated. He had left her that morning with a sense of the most superfluous of shocks: it was like a collision between vessels in broad daylight. There had been no mist, no hidden current to excuse it, and she herself had only wished to steer wide. He had bumped against her prow, however, while her hand was on the tiller, and — to complete the metaphor — had given the lighter vessel a strain which still occasionally betrayed itself in a faint creaking. It had been horrid to see him, because he represented the only serious harm that (to her belief) she had ever done in the world: he was the only person with an unsatisfied claim on her. She had made him unhappy, she couldn't help it; and his unhappiness was a grim reality. She had cried with rage, after he had left her, at — she hardly knew what: she tried to think it had been at his want of consideration. He had come to her with his unhappiness when her own bliss was so perfect; he had done his best to darken the brightness of those pure rays. He had not been violent, and yet there had been a violence in the impression. There had been a violence at any rate in something somewhere; perhaps it was only in her own fit of weeping and in that after-sense of the same which had lasted three or four days.
The effect of his final appeal had in short faded away, and all the first year of her marriage he had dropped out of her books. He was a thankless subject of reference; it was disagreeable to have to think of a person who was sore and sombre about you and whom you could yet do nothing to relieve. It would have been different if she had been able to doubt, even a little, of his unreconciled state, as she doubted of Lord Warburton's; unfortunately it was beyond question, and this aggressive, uncompromising look of it was just what made it unattractive. She could never say to herself that here was a sufferer who had compensations, as she was able to say in the case of her English suitor. She had no faith in Mr. Goodwood's compensations and no esteem for them. A cotton factory was not a compensation for anything — least of all for having failed to marry Isabel Archer. And yet, beyond that, she hardly knew what he had — save of course his intrinsic qualities. Oh, he was intrinsic enough; she never thought of his even looking for artificial aids. If he extended his business — that, to the best of her belief, was the only form exertion could take with him — it would be because it was an enterprising thing, or good for the business; not in the least because he might hope it would overlay the past. This gave his figure a kind of bareness and bleakness which made the accident of meeting it in memory or in apprehension a peculiar concussion; it was deficient in the social drapery commonly muffling, in an overcivilized age, the sharpness of human contacts. His perfect silence, moreover, the fact that she never heard from him and very seldom heard any mention of him, deepened this impression of his loneliness. She asked Lily for news of him, from time to time; but Lily knew nothing of Boston — her imagination was all bounded on the east by Madison Avenue. As time went on Isabel had thought of him oftener, and with fewer restrictions; she had had more than once the idea of writing to him. She had never told her husband about him — never let Osmond know of his visits to her in Florence; a reserve not dictated in the early period by a want of confidence in Osmond, but simply by the consideration that the young man's disappointment was not her secret but his own. It would be wrong of her, she had believed, to convey it to another, and Mr. Goodwood's affairs could have, after all, little interest for Gilbert. When it had come to the point she had never written to him; it seemed to her that, considering his grievance, the least she could do was to let him alone. Nevertheless she would have been glad to be in some way nearer to him. It was not that it ever occurred to her that she might have married him; even after the consequences of her actual union had grown vivid to her that particular reflection, though she indulged in so many, had not had the assurance to present itself. But on finding herself in trouble he had become a member of that circle of things with which she wished to set herself right. I have mentioned how passionately she needed to feel that her unhappiness should not have come to her through her own fault. She had no near prospect of dying, and yet she wished to make her peace with the world — to put her spiritual affairs in order. It came back to her from time to time that there was an account still to be settled with Caspar, and she saw herself disposed or able to settle it to-day on terms easier for him than ever before. Still, when she learned he was coming to Rome she felt all afraid; it would be more disagreeable for him than for any one else to make out — since he WOULD make it out, as over a falsified balance-sheet or something of that sort — the intimate disarray of her affairs. Deep in her breast she believed that he had invested his all in her happiness, while the others had invested only a part. He was one more person from whom she should have to conceal her stress. She was reassured, however, after he arrived in Rome, for he spent several days without coming to see her.

Roberto Bolaño: The Leak of Literature, the Leak of Youth
by Joyelle McSweeney on Aug.30, 2010
I've just begun reading the "new" Roberto Bolaño short story collection The Return, which includes one of my favorite stories of his, "The Prefiguration of Lalo Cura", of which more in a future post.
What fascinates me about Bolano is his leaking, improbably proliferant and then unpredictably attenuated narratives. Like saints' bodies or putrefying corpses, these leaking textual bodies issue two twin substances: literature and youth.
Literature itself has magic and improbable qualities in these stories. In Nazi Literature in the Americas, the Fascists copy themselves over in literature, so that an account of their genealogy is equivalent to an account of their literary output. In Distant Star, the Fascist pilot-poet writes airplane poems in the sky [NB: it transpires that this invention of Bolaño's appears to be an inversion of the anti-fascist poet Raúl Zurita's heroic real-life ploy of petitioning Pinochet's Air Force to skywrite poems, a proposal that made it high up the chain of command before being swatted down. Zurita's project was itself an inversion of the military's own project of dumping the bodies of their victims into mountains and oceans from airplanes—of which more in Action Books's new publication Song for his Disappeared Love by Raúl Zurita, trans. Daniel Borzutzky—check it out, Bolaño fans!]. Less spectacularly but no more plausibly, the ex-pat Chilean gangster in the first story in The Return, "Snow", has read all of Bulgakov in Russian because his Soviet girlfriend liked Bulgakov. The initial narrator of Savage Detectives hasn't a clue about what's going on around him, or even about literature, he says, but can rattle off literary arcana to (literally) put his workshop instructor to shame. His youth directs him to arcana, his experience of this arcana blocks out experience of the historically present "world", and in turn ensnares him in an alternate world of literature and murder.
In the opening pages of Amulet (my absolute favorite of Bolaño's books so far–but he seems to be writing more from beyond the grave like Cègeste)– the heroine, Auxilio Lacouture (from Montevidayo—I mean Montevideo!) introduces herself the mother of Mexican poetry not to assert an aesthetic matrilineage but because of her protective relationship to the waif-like young poets themselves:
"I am a friend to all Mexicans. I could say I am the mother of Mexican poetry, but I better not. I know all the poets and all the poets know me. So I could say it. I could say one mother of a zephyr is blowing down the centuries, but I better not. For example, I could say I knew Arturito Belano when he was a shy seventeen-year-old who wrote plays and poems and couldn't hold his liquor, but in a sense it would be superfluous and I was taught (they taught me with a lash and a rod of iron) to spurn all superfluities and tell a straightforward story." (1-2)
This sarabanding quote is occultly beguiling. Lacouture says more than enough, all while repeating an interdiction not to speak at all ("I'd better not.") Her statements exist only in the subjunctive ("I could") but remain syntactically unsaid. Meanwhile, as her narration is showing itself to be gushy and excessive, "superfluous", as it says everything, including its own interdiction, we get a mini-portrait of Belano (the author's double) who leaks text and liquor (and, by implication, vomit, piss, and perhaps blood from barroom fights). That is to say, he leaks youth. And youth, too, like an unkempt story, is superfluid, fluent, "superfluous." Both literature and youth flow or leak beyond requirement.
This kind of excess appears at the intersection of youth and writing when Lacouture describes her relationship to the young poets of Mexico City: "[….] I had a kind word for each of them. What am I saying: a word! I had a hundred or a thousand words for every one of them." The excess of the words is twinned by the excess of the young writers:
"[T]o me they were all grandsons of López Velarde, great-grandsons of Salvador Díaz Mirón, those brave troubled boys, those downhearted boys adrift in the nights of Mexico City, those brave boys who turned up with their sheets of foolscap folded in two and their dog-eared volumes and their scruffy notebooks and sat in the cafes […]and they gave me their poems to read, their verses, their fuddled translations […]
Here beyond plausible patrilineage the boys anaphorically multiply, coming out of literature like ants surging up from woodwork. Then again, their own writing doubles and multiplies all around them—the proliferant "foolscap folded in two" ," volumes," "notebooks," themselves proliferating into "poems, " "verses," "translations". A kind of exponential multiplication of boys and text surge all around these pages.
At the end of this book, Lacouture renders two stunning visions which seem to twin for each other. One is of literature, spreading itself unsteadily into the future, surging and lapsing and relapsing:
"Virginia Woolf shall be reincarnated as an Argentinean fiction writer in the year 2076. Louis-Ferdinand Céline shall enter Purgatory in the year 2094. Paul Eluard shall appeal to the masses in the year 2101.
Metempsychosis. Poetry shall not disappear. Its non-power shall manifest itself in a different form." [159]
This vision of literature's 'non-power', which goes on for several pages, is twinned with another vision, a polar vision of the 'ghost-children' of Latin America marching down a valley and into an abyss:
"Their passage was brief. And their ghost-song or its echo, which is almost to say the echo of nothingness, went on marching. I could hear it marching on at the same pace, the pace of courage and generosity. A barely audible song, a song of war and love, because although the children were clearly marching to war, the way they marched recalled the superb, theatrical attitudes of love."
In this passage, the song and the youth both leak and flow, become indistinguishable from each other, become substitutes for each other. The magical inter-persistence of both substances is evident in the final passage of the book.
"And although the song that I heard was about war, about the heroic deeds of a whole generation of young Latin Americans led to sacrifice, I knew that above and beyond all, it was about courage and mirrors, desire and pleasure.
And that song is our amulet."

Blessing you with luck and prosperity with new Telegram stickers.
It's that time of the year again when endless red boxes of tikoys are being sold. And if luck is in our cards, they're even delivered to our doorsteps. Nian Gao, or more popularly known as tikoy, has been a traditional staple gift given by Chinese and Filipino families during Chinese New Year. Fun fact: Tradition says that at the beginning of the year, families offer sticky rice cake to the Kitchen God to make his mouth sticky, thus giving him a hard time to report the bad deeds of the family to the Jade Emperor. It is also believed that this sweet holiday treat will bring prosperity and good luck to the person eating it.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Young STAR created a set of Telegram stickers inspired by Gudetama, a lazy Japanese egg made by Sanrio, the company who just gets millennials like no other. TikoYSoto, our charming brown sticky rice cake is quite the entertainer. Opinionated, influential, and charismatic — he makes sure that his charm is put into good use by living a double life as an artist and a politician. He enjoys performing in front of an audience too. Truly an inevitable character in our lives, TikoYSoto is the influential narcissistic frenemy we all have. Though his suit and leather jacket can be intimidating, he is still a softy deep inside.
TikoYSoto will bring you good luck all year round. There's no better way to greet your friends a happy new year than by sending them a sticker set of their new favorite problematic friend.

Workshop Details
Prana ~ Life Force, Universal Energy, Life's Breath
Otherwise known as Chi or Reiki, Prana is considered as a life-giving force.
What ever moves or has life is a manifestation of prana. It is prana that grows the seed into an Oak Tree, prana that shines in your eyes and it is prana when inhaled, creates space and well-being in the body, mind and spirit.
In the physical body, blood flows through the veins, capillaries and arteries.
In the energy body, prana flows through energy pathways called the nadi's.
Nadi's are subtle energy channels through out the body (we literally have 10's of thousands of them!) and they are easily blocked by physical and mental stress.
Prana rides on the breath, so when we breath, we draw in life-giving force.
In this workshop, you will be guided into Yin postures and encouraged to focus on welcoming prana into the body to create space and encourage flow in the hip area.
All levels of experience are welcome.

I feel so powerful like I can take anything that is thrown at me so anyone trying to piss me off today better back off. I know it probably won't last long but right now I don't even care.
I have a strong feeling it is all to do with events that occurred yesterday. For one thing, my mother and I had a deep conversation about what has been happening and it was really nice to get things out in the open – even if she told me that she had known for ages.
I also decided to go out that evening to get some fresh air and meet some friends and obviously it was very cold -pretty much 7°c- but it was a beautiful evening. Before I might have stated that I had lost loads of friends and no one wanted to spend time with me but after last night, I've realised that I'd pushed away the friends who were always there.
I got to spend time talking to one of my closest mates Lucy, and we had a heart to heart about what we are both dealing with and she confided in me about something that she hadn't told anyone before. We were sitting on a bench at the end of her road, Lucy in her dressing gown as she had not planned on being out for long – She thought I was only coming to borrow a lighter (desperate times). We'd been there for about half an hour when one of our mutually close friends turned up to see us. He stayed the whole time and then walked me home later that night after Lucy had gone home. By the time I got into the house I could not feel my feet at all and I felt like I had hypothermia in my knees. My hands were warm though as they had had someone else's hands in them.
I pretty much skipped round the house in happiness when I got in and my parents looked at me in shock before proceeding to ask me if I had taken anything to which I then laughed and shook my head.
I went to sleep happy for the first time that night.
I'm in school during first period with Freddie (he wanted to be included aw) now and I am still in a spectacular mood and I feel like nothing can put me down. Don't even try it.
This is me signing off.

Geomagnetic field
Geomagnetic field, magnetic field associated with the Earth. It primarily is dipolar (i.e., it has two poles, these being the north and south magnetic poles) on the Earth's surface. Away from the surface the dipole becomes distorted.
In the 1830s the German mathematician and astronomer Carl Friedrich Gauss studied the Earth's magnetic field and concluded that the principal dipolar component had its origin inside the Earth instead of outside. He demonstrated that the dipolar component was a decreasing function inversely proportional to the square of the Earth's radius, a conclusion that led scientists to speculate on the origin of the Earth's magnetic field in terms of ferromagnetism (as in a gigantic bar magnet), various rotation theories, and various dynamo theories. Ferromagnetism and rotation theories generally are discredited—ferromagnetism because the Curie point (the temperature at which ferromagnetism is destroyed) is reached only 20 or so kilometres (about 12 miles) beneath the surface, and rotation theories because apparently no fundamental relation exists between mass in motion and an associated magnetic field. Most geomagneticians concern themselves with various dynamo theories, whereby a source of energy in the core of the Earth causes a self-sustaining magnetic field.
The Earth's steady magnetic field is produced by many sources, both above and below the planet's surface. From the core outward, these include the geomagnetic dynamo, crustal magnetization, the ionospheric dynamo, the ring current, the magnetopause current, the tail current, field-aligned currents, and auroral, or convective, electrojets. The geomagnetic dynamo is the most important source because, without the field it creates, the other sources would not exist. Not far above the Earth's surface the effect of other sources becomes as strong as or stronger than that of the geomagnetic dynamo. In the discussion that follows, each of these sources is considered and the respective causes explained.
The Earth's magnetic field is subject to variation on all timescales. Each of the major sources of the so-called steady field undergoes changes that produce transient variations, or disturbances. The main field has two major disturbances: quasiperiodic reversals and secular variation. The ionospheric dynamo is perturbed by seasonal and solar cycle changes as well as by solar and lunar tidal effects. The ring current responds to the solar wind (the ionized atmosphere of the Sun that expands outward into space and carries with it the solar magnetic field), growing in strength when appropriate solar wind conditions exist. Associated with the growth of the ring current is a second phenomenon, the magnetospheric substorm, which is most clearly seen in the aurora borealis. An entirely different type of magnetic variation is caused by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. These waves are sinusoidal variations in the electric and magnetic fields that are coupled to changes in particle density. They are the means by which information about changes in electric currents is transmitted, both within the Earth's core and in its surrounding environment of charged particles. Each of these sources of variation is also discussed separately below.
Observations of the Earth's magnetic field
Representation of the field
Electric and magnetic fields are produced by a fundamental property of matter, electric charge. Electric fields are created by charges at rest relative to an observer, whereas magnetic fields are produced by moving charges. The two fields are different aspects of the electromagnetic field, which is the force that causes electric charges to interact. The electric field, E, at any point around a distribution of charge is defined as the force per unit charge when a positive test charge is placed at that point. For point charges the electric field points radially away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.
A magnetic field is generated by moving charges—i.e., an electric current. The magnetic induction, B, can be defined in a manner similar to E as proportional to the force per unit pole strength when a test magnetic pole is brought close to a source of magnetization. It is more common, however, to define it by the Lorentz-force equation. This equation states that the force felt by a charge q, moving with velocity v, is given by F = q(vxB).
In this equation bold characters indicate vectors (quantities that have both magnitude and direction) and nonbold characters denote scalar quantities such as B, the length of the vector B. The x indicates a cross product (i.e., a vector at right angles to both v and B, with length vB sin θ). Theta is the angle between the vectors v and B. (B is usually called the magnetic field in spite of the fact that this name is reserved for the quantity H, which is also used in studies of magnetic fields.) For a simple line current the field is cylindrical around the current. The sense of the field depends on the direction of the current, which is defined as the direction of motion of positive charges. The right-hand rule defines the direction of B by stating that it points in the direction of the fingers of the right hand when the thumb points in the direction of the current.
In the International System of Units (SI) the electric field is measured in terms of the rate of change of potential, volts per metre (V/m). Magnetic fields are measured in units of tesla (T). The tesla is a large unit for geophysical observations, and a smaller unit, the nanotesla (nT; one nanotesla equals 10−9 tesla), is normally used. A nanotesla is equivalent to one gamma, a unit originally defined as 10−5 gauss, which is the unit of magnetic field in the centimetre-gram-second system. Both the gauss and the gamma are still frequently used in the literature on geomagnetism even though they are no longer standard units.
Both electric and magnetic fields are described by vectors, which can be represented in different coordinate systems, such as Cartesian, polar, and spherical. In a Cartesian system the vector is decomposed into three components corresponding to the projections of the vector on three mutually orthogonal axes that are usually labeled x, y, z. In polar coordinates the vector is typically described by the length of the vector in the x-y plane, its azimuth angle in this plane relative to the x axis, and a third Cartesian z component. In spherical coordinates the field is described by the length of the total field vector, the polar angle of this vector from the z axis, and the azimuth angle of the projection of the vector in the x-y plane. In studies of the Earth's magnetic field all three systems are used extensively.
The nomenclature employed in the study of geomagnetism for the various components of the vector field is summarized in the figure. B is the vector magnetic field, and F is the magnitude or length of B. X, Y, and Z are the three Cartesian components of the field, usually measured with respect to a geographic coordinate system. X is northward, Y is eastward, and, completing a right-handed system, Z is vertically down toward the centre of the Earth. The magnitude of the field projected in the horizontal plane is called H. This projection makes an angle D (for declination) measured positive from the north to the east. The dip angle, I (for inclination), is the angle that the total field vector makes with respect to the horizontal plane and is positive for vectors below the plane. It is the complement of the usual polar angle of spherical coordinates. (Geographic and magnetic north coincide along the "agonic line.")
Measurement of the field
Magnetic fields can be measured in various ways. The simplest measurement technique still employed today involves the use of the compass, a device consisting of a permanently magnetized needle that is balanced to pivot in the horizontal plane. In the presence of a magnetic field and in the absence of gravity, a magnetized needle aligns itself exactly along the magnetic field vector. When balanced on a pivot in the presence of gravity, it becomes aligned with a component of the field. In the conventional compass, this is the horizontal component. A magnetized needle may also be pivoted and balanced about a horizontal axis. If this device, called a dip meter, is first aligned in the direction of the magnetic meridian as defined by a compass, the needle lines up with the total field vector and measures the inclination angle I. Finally, it is possible to measure the magnitude of the horizontal field by the oscillations of the compass needle. It can be shown that the period of such an oscillation depends on properties of the needle and the strength of the field.
Magnetic observatories continuously measure and record the Earth's magnetic field at a number of locations. In an observatory of this sort, magnetized needles with reflecting mirrors are suspended by quartz fibres. Light beams reflected from the mirrors are imaged on a photographic negative mounted on a rotating drum. Variations in the field cause corresponding deflections on the negative. Typical scale factors for such observatories correspond to 2–10 nanoteslas per millimetre vertically and 20 millimetres per hour horizontally. A print of the developed negative is called a magnetogram.
Magnetic observatories have recorded data in this manner for well over 100 years. Their magnetograms are photographed on microfilm and submitted to world data centres, where they are available for scientific or practical use. Such applications include the creation of world magnetic maps for navigation and surveying; correction of data obtained in air, land, and sea surveys for mineral and oil deposits; and scientific studies of the interaction of the Sun with the Earth.
In recent years other methods of measuring magnetic fields have proved more convenient, and older instruments are gradually being replaced. One such method involves the proton-precession magnetometer, which makes use of the magnetic and gyroscopic properties of protons in a fluid such as gasoline. In this method the magnetic moments of protons are first aligned by a strong magnetic field produced by an external coil. The magnetic field is then turned off abruptly, and the protons try to align themselves with the Earth's field. However, since the protons are spinning as well as magnetized, they precess around the Earth's field with a frequency dependent on the magnitude of the latter. The external coil senses a weak voltage induced by this gyration. The period of gyration is determined electronically with sufficient accuracy to yield a sensitivity between 0.1 and 1.0 nanotesla.
An instrument that complements the proton-precession magnetometer is the flux-gate magnetometer. In contrast to the proton-precession magnetometer, the flux-gate device measures the three components of the field vector rather than its magnitude. It employs three sensors, each aligned with one of the three components of the field vector. Each sensor is constructed from a transformer wound around a core of high-permeability material (e.g., mu-metal). The primary winding of the transformer is excited with a high-frequency (about 5 kilohertz) sine wave. In the absence of any field along the transformer axis, the output signal in the secondary winding consists of only odd harmonics (component frequencies) of the drive frequency. If, however, a field is present, it biases the hysteresis loop for the core in one direction. This causes the core to become saturated sooner in one half of a drive cycle than in the other. This in turn causes the secondary voltage to include all even harmonics as well as odd. The amplitude and phase of the even harmonics are linearly proportional to the component of the field along the axis of the transformer.
Most modern magnetic observatories have both a proton-precession magnetometer and a flux-gate magnetometer mounted on granite pillars in nonmagnetic, temperature-controlled rooms. The outputs from the instruments are electrical signals, and they are digitized and recorded on magnetic media. Many observatories also transmit their data soon after acquisition to central facilities, where they are stored with data from other locations in a large computer database.
Magnetic measurements are often made at locations remote from fixed observatories. Such measurements are commonly part of a survey designed to better define the Earth's main field or to detect anomalies in it. Surveys of this type are routinely carried out by foot, ship, aircraft, and spacecraft. For surveys near the Earth's surface the proton-precession magnetometer is almost always used because it does not need to be precisely aligned. Above the Earth's surface the main field decreases rapidly, and the need for precise alignment is less severe. Thus, flux-gate magnetometers are generally employed on spacecraft. Calculation of components of the vector field in a coordinate system fixed with respect to the Earth requires knowledge of the location and orientation of the spacecraft.
Characteristics of the Earth's magnetic field
To a first approximation the magnetic field observed at the surface of the Earth is like that of a magnet aligned with the planet's rotation axis. The figure shows such a field for a bar magnet located at the centre of a sphere. If the sphere is taken to be the Earth with the north geographic pole at the top of the diagram, the magnet must be oriented with its north magnetic pole downward toward the south geographic pole. Then, as shown in the diagram, magnetic field lines leave the north pole of the magnet and curve around until they cross the Earth's Equator pointing geographically northward. They curve still more reentering the Earth in northern latitudes, finally returning to the south pole of the magnet. At the present time, the north geographic pole corresponds to the south pole of the equivalent bar magnet. This has not always been the case. Many times in the history of the Earth the direction of the equivalent magnet has pointed in the opposite direction (see below Reversals of the main field).
Dipolar field
The magnetic field lines shown in the bar-magnet figure are not real entities, although they are frequently treated as such. A magnetic field is a continuous function that exists at every point in space. A field line is simply a means for visualizing the direction of this field. It is defined as a curve in three dimensions that is everywhere tangential to the local magnetic field. The pattern of field lines created by a bar magnet is called a dipolar field because it has the same shape as the electric field produced by two (di-) slightly separated charges (poles) of opposite sign. The dipole field of the Earth is, of course, not produced by a bar magnet at its centre. As will be discussed later, it is instead produced by electric currents within the Earth's liquid core. To produce the present field, the equivalent current must be a westward equatorial loop, as shown in the bar-magnet figure. In SI units the dipole moment, μ, for the Earth is 7.95 × 1022 A/m2 (amperes per square metre). Since μ = IA (current times area), a loop the size of the liquid core (Rc = 3.48 × 106 m) would require an equivalent current of nearly 2 × 109 A.
The magnetic field of a dipole is vertical along the polar axis and horizontal along the equator, as can be seen from the bar-magnet figure. These properties lead to definitions of equator and pole in the Earth's more complex field. Thus, the geomagnetic equator is defined as the line around the Earth's surface where the actual field is horizontal. Similarly, the magnetic dip poles are the two points at which the field is vertical. If observations are extended above or below the surface, the location of the equator is a surface (planar for a dipole) and the poles lie along curves.
At a given distance in a pure dipole field, the polar field is always twice the equatorial field. This is roughly true for the Earth's field. In a map showing the contours of constant total field magnitude according to a 1980 model plotted on a geographic Mercator projection, the largest fields occurred at two points in the Northern and Southern hemispheres not far from the geomagnetic poles. The weakest field occurred along the magnetic equator, with the lowest value being observed on the Atlantic coast of South America.
Several facts about the Earth's field are apparent from the total field map. First, the dipole approximating it is not exactly aligned with the rotation axis. The poles of the dipole are located roughly in northern Canada and on the coast of Antarctica rather than at the geographic poles. This implies that the dipole is tilted away from the rotation axis in a geographic meridian passing through the eastern United States. The exact tilt of the best-centred dipole is 11° away from the geographic North Pole toward North America at a longitude 71° W of Greenwich. The total field map also suggests that the field is not exactly centred in the Earth, for, if it were, the field strength should be nearly constant along the Equator.
The mathematical description of a vector field on the surface of a sphere is quite complicated. In studies of the Earth's field it is usually done by multipole expansions. The field is assumed to be made of the superposition of fields from a series of poles located at the centre of the Earth. The first pole in this expansion is a monopole corresponding to only one pole of a magnet. Since no magnetic monopole has ever been observed, this term is not used. The next term is the dipole, then the quadrupole, and so forth. When the Earth's field is described in this manner, it is found that the dipole term accounts for more than 90 percent of the field. If the contribution from a centred dipole is subtracted from the observed field, the residual is called the non-dipole field, or regional geomagnetic anomaly.
Current maps of the regional anomaly for various components of the magnetic field show that there is a large maximum in the South Atlantic and in Mongolia. This anomaly can be partially explained by offsetting the best-fit dipole in an appropriate manner. Anomalies such as this affect compass readings in polar regions and influence particles trapped in the outer field. They also are responsible for the separation between the locations of the dipole poles and the geomagnetic poles.
Magnetic surveys of the Earth's field have been conducted with increasing accuracy for well over 100 years. In recent times they have been conducted on approximately a 10-year schedule. For each survey it is possible to define the dipole and non-dipole components of the field. It has been found that both change systematically with time. The nature of these changes and their probable explanations are discussed below in Sources of variation in the steady magnetic field.
In the multipole description of the Earth's field, it is shown that the effects of higher-order poles decrease more rapidly with distance than those of the lower-order poles. The field of a monopole, for example, decreases as the inverse square of distance, the dipole as the inverse cube, and so on. Because of this property, it might be expected that the outer portions of the Earth's field would be almost purely dipolar. Recent spacecraft observations, however, show that this is not true. The field departs radically from that of a dipole at altitudes of only a few Earth radii.
Surface observations do not suggest that significant distortion of the Earth's field should occur close to the planet. The technique of multipole expansion makes it possible to separate the observed surface field into parts of origin internal and external to the Earth. When surface observations are averaged over several years, less than 1 percent of the surface field is produced by external sources. Thus, the existence of the external distortion is surprising.
Outer magnetic field
The actual configuration of the Earth's outer magnetic field as recently determined by spacecraft shows projections of magnetic field lines into the noon–midnight meridian at a time near an equinox, as is summarized in the figure. At this time the Earth's rotation axis is perpendicular to the Earth–Sun line. The dipole axis will be tilted another plus or minus 11°, depending on the time of day. On the dayside of the Earth the magnetic field of the planet terminates at a distance of about 10 Re (where Re is the Earth's equatorial radius of about 6,378 kilometres). The boundary that exists at this point is called the magnetopause (break in magnetic field). Outside this boundary magnetic fields and particles are present, but they belong to the Sun's atmosphere and not to the Earth's. On the nightside the magnetic field is drawn out into a long tail consisting of two lobes separated by a 14-Re-thick sheet of particles called the plasma sheet. The plasma sheet has an inner boundary about 11 Re behind the Earth. It also has upper and lower boundaries as shown. The projection of these boundaries onto the northern and southern portions of the atmosphere at about 67° magnetic latitude corresponds to two regions called the nightside auroral ovals. The aurora borealis and aurora australis (northern lights and southern lights) appear within the regions defined by the feet of these field lines and are caused by bombardment of the atmosphere by energetic charged particles. On the dayside, magnetic field lines from high latitudes split, some crossing the Equator while others cross over the polar caps. The regions where the field lines split are called polar cusps. The projection of the polar cusps on the atmosphere at about 72° magnetic latitude creates the dayside auroral ovals. Auroras can be seen in these regions in the dark hours of winter, but they are much weaker than on the nightside because the particles that produce them have much less energy. The projections of the two lobes of the magnetic tail onto the atmosphere are the polar caps.
Within the middle of the Earth's field are several other important boundaries and regions that cannot be detected by magnetic field observations. Close to the Earth (1–2 Re) is the inner Van Allen radiation belt, which consists of very energetic particles created by cosmic rays. Centred at about 4–5 Re is the outer Van Allen belt, created from charged particles of both solar and atmospheric origin. Also at this distance is the plasmapause. This is a boundary in the Earth's plasma (a relatively cold gas consisting of equal numbers of electrons and positive ions) and, as such, actually constitutes a boundary in the planet's electric field.

Website Design Jupiter In FL | West Palm Beach FL
Website design in Jupiter FL is one of those things that all businesses need, whether you're big or small, and we are one of those companies to offer website design in Jupiter FL.
But when it comes to the discussion of building a website, or hiring a website developer, it can be very intimidating.
Usually because of the price of the proposals that you will get back. Web developers for the most part, charge what seems to be a lot of money for their services. Some are worth it, but many are charging far more than they are worth. And far more than most people can afford.
That's where we come in. Website Design Jupiter In FL
Our website designers at Cobalt hold certifications in website design in Jupiter FL and web development, as well as graphic design. We are experienced in web design, and also website search engine optimization (SEO) for Google and other search engines. We primarily design & develop in WordPress. WordPress is a powerful design tool. And we know it well.
Many people can design a webpage. But a website is almost no good at all unless it is properly saturated with content that is relevant to your business or product, so that Google or other search engines will grab onto them for results.
With our website design packages, basic on-page SEO content saturation is included in the design so that it will be ready for overall SEO tweaking in the final stages. Most developers charge an additional $200 for this option.
Responsive Design
Many of our layouts come with a responsive design built in. Responsive design layouts are layouts that will automatically just to smart phones and tablets. This way we will not have to design 3 total layouts to adapt to several types of devices. This again saves you money. We really recommend only this type of layout.
How It Works
We will meet and go over your product and business, as well as your needs and expectations. We will then give you a choice of several layouts to choose from for your website. Once you have that narrowed down, you will then choose a theme color for your website. After you have made your choices, we will take a small deposit to begin your project. But first things first. You need a logo for your business. If you have one, great! We're ready to go. But if you don't, we can design one for you. It's an additional cost, but a very important part of your company.
Logo Design & Branding
Our logo design team will give you several designs to choose from. Please look at our
logo design pricing packages for your choices.
Watching out for you right from the start
Many or most website developers will register your website hosting and domain (website name or address), to their own account. But beware of this practice. For the less than honest developers, this is a way to force the customer to keep them on the project. There are many cases of the project developer holding the website in a sort of ransom. We do not do that here at Cobalt.
When we register your website and domain, we will create your account with the company that we host with, and give you the username and password, so that you have full control at all times of your property. We only request that you allow us access so that we can get the job done for you.
Call us at 561-623-0533 to get started!
We offer website design in Jupiter FL, web design, search engine optimization, logo design, graphic design, website development & web development in the areas of Jupiter, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Park, Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, Singer Island, Boca Raton and surrounding areas.

Montesano man faces vehicular homicide charge
After a five-month investigation, the Pacific County Prosecutor's Office has filed a vehicular-homicide charge against a Montesano man for allegedly striking two bicyclists and killing one in July, according to The Daily World of Aberdeen.
Deputy Prosecutor David Bustamante said he filed a negligent-driving charge against 51-year-old Gregory Cedell this month in the death of Carolyn Girod, 31, of Cambridge, Mass.
A State Patrol report described Cedell's crime as a type of aggravated negligence, alleging his box van drifted across a state Route 105 fog line and struck the bicyclists July 8 north of Raymond. Rider Nils J. Sorenson, 34, also of Cambridge, received minor injuries when he was knocked down an embankment.
Investigators found no evidence of alcohol or drugs in Cedell's system, according to the reports.

At GATE, we take on projects at any stage, from design of new developments to troubleshooting of mature fields. The principal thrust of the company is in developing a systems engineering approach to field design and operation.
Even in our smaller projects, such as working discrete process or corrosion issues, taking a larger view of the interactions and intricacies of the system as a whole enables us to develop an optimized solution that crosses many different disciplines and boundaries.
Specialist consultancies, or compartmentalized groups in operating companies or contractors, often do not have the combined knowledge and flexibility to pull together solutions of this type. This is one of the main benefits that we bring to our Clients.
Our mission at GATE is to provide engineering solutions to the oil & gas industry which allow our clients to make informed financial decisions. We aim to provide these solutions through the high caliber of our staff and strong relationships with our customers.
All GATE personnel are experienced in various deepwater projects for major and independent production companies at various locations around the globe.
Our project portfolio is composed of deepwater and onshore operations, largely as a result of the increased risks associated with the design, installation and operation of such facilities. We have a varied workload, ranging from new technology development and evaluation, pre-FEED (front-end engineering design) and FEED support, through commissioning and start-up, to troubleshooting of producing facilities. We only work for Operators, not for EPC contractors and vendors.
Although the bulk of our workload is associated with technical support of projects during their design, where the most value for least cost can typically be leveraged, this is balanced by a significant portion of projects that support existing facilities. We staff our projects so that all of our team members face a mix of project design and asset support activities, so that they maintain a focus on operational aspects when supporting the design of facilities and operating procedures.
Read further to see all of the offshore and onshore projects we have been involved in.
Gulf of Mexico & Brazil
The major geological area of GATE experience is the Gulf of Mexico, however, we also work on developments located in areas such as West Africa and the North Sea, with onshore work in Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, China and Brazil.

Believe it or not, an estimated 1 in 25 drivers report having fallen asleep while behind the wheel in the past thirty days. Driving while drowsy is one of the most hazardous situations you can put yourself in and has often been compared to driving while intoxicated. If you wouldn't get behind the wheel drunk, think twice about driving while tired.
According to the CDC, driving while drowsy makes drivers less able to pay attention to the road ahead, slows reaction time, and affects your ability to make good driving decisions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that over 72,000 crashes and 6,000 fatalities occur each year because of drowsy driving.
What are the warning signs? Yawning or blinking frequently, difficulty remembering the past few miles, missing exits, drifting from lane to lane, and hitting rumble strips are indicators that you are too tired to drive. Although people who do not get enough sleep are likely to drive drowsy, it also occurs with people who have sleep disorders, people who change work shifts, and people who take certain medicines.
How can you prevent it? Get enough sleep! Each adult needs between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. You should pull over if you are too tired, and take a break. You can also roll down the windows, listen to the radio, chew ice chips, and drink caffeine. Or you can test drive one of our many Nissan models at Dale Earnhardt in Charlotte, NC and the thrill we keep you awake for sure!

The National American Institute of Architects (AIA) was created in 1857 to create an architecture organization that would "promote scientific and practical perfection of its members" and "elevate the standing of the profession." To achieve this, the local chapter of the AIA Northern Nevada has become a community-based organization that actively participates in community development issues and contributes to the living standards of people by improving their built environments.
Among the programs and outreach offered by AIA Northern Nevada are quarterly lunches with wonderful guest speakers presenting a variety of topics related to architecture and the building arts; the biannual Triptych Conference and Design Awards that provides education and networking opportunities for owners, builders, and architects; support for the annual State of Nevada Design Awards, and a periodic distinguished lecturer series put together by the Black Rock Design Institute (BRDI) and presented at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno.
Above all, the charter of the AIA both nationally and locally is to show, through works and outreach to the broader community, that design matters; that it affects how we feel—in profound ways—about the places, spaces, and environments we inhabit, visit, and are exposed to every day.
We invite and welcome all architects, allied professionals, and friends of architecture and the building arts to join AIA Northern Nevada today.

Birth Name
Robert "Bobby" Eldwell
May 19, 1981
Hydro has the ability to generate water in many forms, from fog to high-intensity streams.
The Bay Scouts (2001-2006)
The Lone Star Rangers (2006-present)
Bobby is the twin brother of William "Billy" Eldwell, also known as Pyro. Born in Austin, Texas, the brothers relocated to San Francisco, California, not long after the discovery of their abilities. They soon connected with and joined The Bay Scouts. Following the demise of that group, they returned to Texas, joining the Dallas-based Lone Star Rangers.
Bobby is the quieter of the twins, being courteous with everyone (except his brother).
Excerpt from Reckoning
I reached into my cape, opening the Velcro-sealed pocket that held my emergency kit. One of the items in the kit was polyvalent snake antivenin. I had no idea if it would be effective against Kimera's venom, though. I began injecting Bobby, whose face was contorted in agony and fear. He looked at me in gratitude.
To his credit, Billy stayed out of my way and kept Kimera at bay with huge swaths of flame. "Watch out for Caracara," I said as I pulled out Bobby's own med-kit and used his antivenin. And just at that moment, she came swooping in. Billy whirled and angrily shot a bolt that hit the woman dead on. Her wings erupted in flames and she came crashing to the ground in a cloud of feathers and smoke, screaming in pain.
Lifting his glazed eyes from my injections, Bobby turned his head toward Caracara, who clearly was unable to extinguish her burning wings. And, despite his pain, despite the fact that she was fighting against us, he extended a hand and sent a geyser of water shooting over the woman, dousing the flames. Then his arm dropped to the ground and he lost consciousness.

Eating fat helps you lose more weight.
According to recent research, a high-fat diet can is not only good for weight loss but it also prevents the development of certain diseases. This diet as known as ketogenic diet or keto, which is based on using fat as fuel. To be more precise, the ketogenic diet consists of 75 percent fat, 20 percent of protein, and 5 percent of carbohydrates. Ketosis is a metabolic state when the body does not have enough glucose for energy and it burns stored fats instead. This leads to a build-up of acids called ketones. The ketogenic diet increases ketones within the body.
The benefits of following a keto diet include reducing your blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and appetite, and suppresses the release of insulin. Also, there is a theory that keto diet reduces the risk of developing diabetes and cancer. This diet is also described as fat-burning metabolism diet.
How keto works?
The body converts carbohydrates into the sugar glucose. Too much sugar in your body causes your liver to become resistant to insulin.
Nuts, seeds, avocado, olive and coconut oil, non-starchy-vegetables, and eggs are perfect examples of low carb foods.
Ketogenic diet menu (suggestion)
- A cup of coffee with heavy whipping cream.
- Stevia drops.
- Unsweetened almond milk.
However, ideal keto breakfast is eggs cooked in olive oil. You can add some bacon to it.
- Green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or zucchini.
- A small portion of meat.
- Greens and a small portion of tofu.
You can also consume butter, coconut milk, cheese and cream cheese, salmon, macadamia nuts, cucumbers, celery, and cacao. Avoid consuming bread, pasta, and cereals. Consume carbs in moderation. Choose high-fiber foods.
Cancer cells thrive on sugar. Further studies are needed to prove the effect of ketogenic diet on inhibiting cancer cells. However, several studies have suggested that ketogenic diet reduces insulin levels, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and inflammation. High blood pressure and high glucose levels increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
"Keto flu"
The diet is restrictive, so in the first few days, you can experience side effects such as headaches, insomnia, bad breath, and constipation. These symptoms are known as "the keto flu" symptoms. People diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, kidney disease, and pregnant women are not recommended to follow this diet. Consulting your doctor before starting any diet is necessary, so just in case, visit your doctor before trying this diet even if you don't have health problems.

By TOM EHRICH
c. 2011 Religion News Service
(RNS) If you are reading this, then you apparently didn't qualify for the Rapture on May 21. Or Judgment Day predictors need better math.
Either way, last Saturday belonged to God, not to fundamentalist cranks who peddle absolute certainty encased in right-wing theology.
If religion is correct in positing the victory of righteousness and the defeat of evil, we need to look beyond the culture wars for what "righteous" and "evil" mean.
Anti-gay, anti-liberal, anti-women, anti-science positions might appeal to fundamentalists who cherry-pick their way through Scripture, but they don't constitute any righteousness that Jesus lived.
Indeed, if you track with the Gospel narrative, Jesus would be more likely to label absolute certainty itself as evil, along with rejection of the different, cruelty toward anyone (even enemies), and putting oneself over the other.
But end-of-time predictions have little to do with theology. They seem to reflect a quest for firm answers in ambiguous times. They reflect a belief that chaos, human nature and the vagaries of history can be overcome by a cleansing rain of divine fire.
When wars never cease, jobs don't return, culture degenerates and even claims of national and racial superiority carry no water, it is appealing to imagine a divine reckoning that restores one's desired order.
There is no point, they say, in trying to transform humanity, to lead people to the light, to heal wounds, to pray for the lost, or to proclaim a gospel of repentance. In other words, there is no point in doing what Jesus said to do. There is only a fervent need to be right, especially when everyone else is so obviously wrong.
This is the anthem of the powerless, or the newly powerless. It's the existential version of the "Ugly Duckling" story, in which the ungainly turn into swans, and their tormentors must retreat in shame.
As always, ardent advocates step up with unshakable conviction to harvest impotence and turn the powerless into mobs. Being handed a weapon and being declared right make a heady brew. Donald Trump tried to harvest it for a presidential campaign; other connivers now wait for their chance to mobilize impotent rage.
This isn't idle chatter. The cruel ascension of the greedy and powerful has left many victims. Among them are the powerless that see their last shreds of dignity evaporating — no jobs, no assets, no safety net. In our adulation of the rich, do we even see how many of our fellow citizens are seething in impotent rage?
Their fate isn't cocktail party humor, but rather a profound political and social crisis, which the "haves" clearly have scant interest in resolving.
Rapture-anticipation Day was a religious sideshow, and it left impotence intact and provided even more ammunition for the deceitful. That, along with sincere concern for a society drifting toward demagoguery, should be our concern, not mock relief at having made it through May 21 without the Rapture emptying cars and causing auto accidents.
As faithful Christians, whatever our differences, surely we can remember what Jesus said about loving people, not chasing Mammon; about loving all, not just the few we like; about serving humanity, not harvesting their sadness and frustration.
Rather than joining politicians in siding with the rich who are stealing food from the poor, we must offer real hope, not phony Rapture calculations, to the hope-deprived.

In the summer, I like to cook on the grill as much as possible. Everything tastes so much better (and there's fewer pots to wash!) This Basil Grilled Chicken Breast recipe is really easy to make and has lots of flavor.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Marinating Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 12 to 15 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

What You Need
Note: If you really don't feel like cooking, you can replace everything up to the pepper with 3/4 cup of pre-made balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing and then just add the basil.
3 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped or 2 Tablespoons dried basil
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Pots and Utensils
Large bowl
How To Put It Together
1. Mix all of the ingredients except the chicken breasts in the large bowl. (You can also do this in a large ziploc bag if you prefer).
2. Add the chicken to the mixture and turn to coat.
3. Cover and let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. Grill over medium-high flame for about 6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
