I can remember taking a look at this passage in seminary and one of my professors saying quite candidly, "This is the kind of verse (referring to verse 12) that you just wish had been left out." What are we to make of a verse like this? It sounds an awful lot like pagan superstition, or perhaps even worse like the claims of a televangelist hawking his wares.
In a recent article in Time magazine entitled Does God Want You to Be Rich? we find the following quote. "Who would want to get in on something where you're miserable, poor, broke and ugly and you just have to muddle through until you get to heaven?" asks Joyce Meyer, a popular television preacher and author often lumped in the Prosperity Lite camp. "I believe God wants to give us nice things."
In Lauren Sandler's book, Righteous, she quotes another popular preaching saying why would anyone want become a Christian if they see you driving a broken down old car? But if you are driving a Mercedes—well, now they would be interested in finding out more about your God.
It's not too hard to see how a verse like this could be construed as playing into such thinking. Apparently, people believed that the sweat band and apron Paul wore while working (remember, Paul labored at a trade to support himself) carried Paul's power to heal. Further, they believed that God didn't want a person sick, diseased, or in bondage to any form of evil. Put the two together and you the makings of a "magic" business proposition that an unethical person could use to take advantage of people and make a fortune. Clearly, people have done just this.
But the rest of this passage shows why such an approach is antithetical to the Christian faith. What God was doing was not "magic". When people simply tried to use Jesus' name a magical incantation, it didn't work.
The effect of all these things was to focus people back on God. Yes, God apparently did meet people where they were, in ways that may seem strangely superstitious and even inappropriate to us. But that was because God knew that Paul would not leave them thinking that Paul himself possessed some magic power. He knew that Paul would be exceedingly faithful in pointing people to the real source of his power: Jesus Christ.
And so when one reads these verses carefully, they find they point to the difference between miracle and magic. They show that the true work of God has a very different result: life change and even moral reform. Seeing the power of God at work (not self-centered magic!) led them to give up things that were of great value to them in order that they might be faithful to the word of the Lord.
That seems very different than the "prosperity gospel". God doesn't want us sick, diseased, or in bondage to any type of evil forces. But we trust Him to work in our lives according to His perfect will, not our own selfish and often corrupt desires.
So the real question comes to be—for us every bit as much as it was for the people of this passage: where do you and I place our trust? Money? Our abilities? People? Our job? Things?
Or Jesus Christ?

Home. It's where you spend your time, growing up, building a safe space for your children, and making memories for years to come. But sometimes an unintentional household injury can happen when you least expect it, so it's important to know how to deal with injuries in the home, and know when to see a medical professional for help.
The best way to avoid tripping or slipping in the home is to keep the floor free of clutter.
The goal is to avoid burns. However, if your child or you experience a burn, run the affected area under cool water for up to 20 minutes. If the pain persists, consult a medical professional immediately.
Kids love to climb. If there are small children in the house, make sure you've secured any furniture they could pull down or might fall on them. If you're changing a light bulb or grabbing a glass off a shelf that's too high, make sure to use a proper step stool (or find someone really tall), so you don't fall or have something unintentionally fall on you.
If your child ingests a foreign object and is choking, call 911 immediately.
While many household injuries are preventable, we realize they can still happen. If you've been injured at home and think you need to be evaluated by a medical professional, stop by your local vybe urgent care and be seen today.

The United States and the rest of NATO must ask themselves this question. The Kurdish fighters are our allies in the region, and if they fall, ISIS will have no other obstacles in defeating Assad.
Ever since the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War, I have stated my belief that the US should back Assad rather than the rebel fighters. Granted Assad is a very tyrannical leader, he has kept peace in Syria. It seems that in the Middle East and North Africa, a democratic state cannot be built and sustained (Libya, Egypt, and Iraq are prime examples). In Egypt the people elected Morsi, who was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was not a popular leader and the people started uprisings and the military staged a coup and it is still in control of the government.
Libya and Iraq are self-explanatory with their democratic success (or lack thereof). Terror has been reigning in Libya, even to the point that Do-Nothing Obama had to close the American embassy (Benghazi article coming soon) because of the terror threat that was posed to Americans.
Iraq has been a total disaster. The US pulled out too quickly and it led to the rise of ISIS.
Trending: The Jesus was a Socialist Lie
So, back to my original question. Can America afford to bomb ISIS, and then support "moderate" rebels in Syria?
The answer is no.
Either the US and the rest of NATO back a dictator, or they do nothing and allow a terrorist group to reign in the region.
There are infinite advantages to backing Assad. America and NATO would have the backing of the Russian military, as well as their incredible intelligence system. It could also be used as a bargaining chip to end the hell in West Russia (Donetsk and Lugansk). Vladimir Putin would gladly support the coalition, and many other Arab nations would be willing to join the coalition, mainly because they are very reliant on Russian weaponry.
Although it would be a backtrack from America's pro-democracy foreign policy, we need to put peace first, and ourselves second.

SYRIA. Mujahideen unite their forces in battle for Aleppo. Assadites defeated in Quneitra
25 February 2014
Sources in Syria reported that units of Ahrar Sham, Islamic Front and Jabhat an-Nusrah had joined forces in the battle for Aleppo.
Meanwhile, Assad's troops continue to try to advance in Aleppo region.
Assadites bombed apartment houses with barrel bombs from Russian-made helicopters. On February 23, such bombs were dropped on north-western suburbs of Aleppo, Hreitan and Al-Ansari. Bomber jets attacked the outlying airfield of Quieres where Mujahideen keep Assadites under siege.
In the area of Damascus, on the outskirts of the town of Yabrud, there has been an increase in fighting between Shiites from Hezbollah on the one side, and Mujahideen on the other. Assadites bombed the town from the air and also used artillery for shelling. Several clashes occurred west of Yabrud near Qalamoun.
Skirmishes also took place south of Mlehi near the location of an air defense brigade of Alawite troops and Shiite militants. Aviation of Assad bombed positions of the Mujahideen in town of Khan al-Shih.
Sources in Syria report that Mujahideen continue to attack Assadites in Quneitra. During a two-day assault operation, significant success has been achieved. This operation is aimed on a complete cut-off of supply routes for Assadites between Damascus and Quneitra.
Assadites suffered heavy losses in Quneitra – dozens of their soldiers were eliminated after the Mujahideen took the town of Masirah.
Battles are ongoing in Deir ez-Zor. Assadites tried to advance in the village of Al-Omal, but were repulsed, suffering losses. Assad's aviation struck on villages of Al-Bolil and Al-Mreyya. Many civilians-mostly women and children-have been killed.
Heavy clashes took place in the vicinity of the military airport of Deir ez-Zor. Assadites tried to dislodge Mujahideen from their positions near the airfield, but were stopped.
In Deraa, Assad's artillery has been shelling the cities of Nava and Naima. Meanwhile, Mujahideen of Jabhat an-Nusrah, Ahrar Sham, Ansar al-Sunna, Umar al-Khattab announced a new joint operation to liberate the rural province of Deraa.

Tools for Teamwork at DevTeach Toronto 2013
As expected, I was thrilled with the DevTeach 2013 event in Toronto last week. I love seeing all of the great presenters that I've worked with in the past, and catch up.
For those that attended my session on "Tools for Teamwork", and for those that didn't ;), I've uploaded a more comprehensive deck than that which I presented at the session. It's pretty full with great information on Visual Studio 2012 and Update 2.
You can grab the deck here : http://sdrv.ms/12xwxgD
As well, check out my list of resources for more pointers to great information on Visual Studio ALM: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adamga/p/resources.aspx
If you went to DevTeach, would love to hear what you thought. If you didn't get a chance to go, you should check it out at http://www.devteach.com for more info.

Guild leadership is often described as a job, although I don't agree with that sentiment. And being in a guild is also seen as work, which I understand, but I don't think that has to be the case. Guilds sometimes take themselves too seriously, and while focus is important for progress, it doesn't mean guilds have to stamp out fun.
In this week's Guild Counsel, I'd like to look at how guilds can in fact be fun, and why even the most hesitant gamer should consider giving them a try.

Following the success of the Manhood Academy in mentoring African Caribbean boys, the new Womanhood Academy is aiming to see similar results working with young women across the capital Written By: Vic Motune
IT'S OFTEN been said that when we support and empower young girls and women, we make things better for everyone.
When you educate, nurture and empower young women they not only lead businesses but they lead in their communities, advocate for their children and shine a spotlight on issues that are important to the black community's future such as health care, education and tackling poverty.
A number of organisations in the UK are working in local communities to empower young black girls. And one of the newest is the Womanhood Academy.

What skills and qualifications are required to become a carer in a Care Home?
Hi Sheila
I am very interested in becoming a carer, I don't have any previous experience. Will it be beneficial to me to do an online course before looking for work?
Dear Pamela,
Thank you for your question. There are few careers that are more satisfying or rewarding than a successful career in care.
I would advise you to seek a job and you will then be offered on the job training.
Adult Social Care has a qualification called the Care Certificate.
This is a qualification designed for care workers who are new to care work.
The training involved is given during the first six months of training and covers the following 15 areas:
- Understand your role
- Your personal development
- Duty of care
- Equality and diversity
- Work in a person centred way
- Communication
- Privacy and dignity
- Fluids and nutrition
- Awareness of mental health, dementia and learning disabilities
- Safeguarding adults
- Safeguarding children
- Basic life support
- Health and safety
- Handling information
- Infection prevention and control
You can read more about the qualification on the Skills for Care website:
Skills for Care also says on their website: Although the Care Certificate is designed for new staff, it also offers opportunities for existing staff to refresh or improve their knowledge and skills.
I want to stress though that care workers only need to undertake the Care Certificate once.
With very good wishes for your career in care.
Best wishes.
*All information is correct at the time of publishing.
What would you like to ask Sheila?
Sheila Scott OBE from National Care Association (NCA). Care is Sheila's life; she possesses a strong command of the issues facing the care sector informed by her long career as a nursing professional, the owner and manager of a care business and as a leader in the care sector.

Pulse celery, onion and carrot in food processor until finely chopped. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Pour tomatoes into food processor and pulse until smooth; set aside.
Heat olive oil in 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and pork in an even layer and cook undisturbed until it starts to get deeply browned, about 8 minutes. Stir and break up meat. Continue cooking until meat is browned and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Break up meat with a spoon or potato masher until fine. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
Add pancetta to Dutch oven and cook until fat starts to render, 1 minute. Stir in finely chopped vegetables and garlic. Cook until vegetables are very tender and the bottom of the pan starts to brown, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt. Stir in tomato paste and cook until it starts to brown, about 2 minutes.
Pour in wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in chicken stock, milk, tomatoes, browned meat, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and oregano; bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low and place lid on slightly ajar. Simmer until meat is very tender and the flavors have concentrated, 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove bay leaves, rosemary and thyme sprigs.
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles just until pliable, about 3 minutes. Drain.
Spray deep 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1-1/2 cups Bolognese sauce on bottom of pan. Cover with a single layer of noodles, cutting to fit if needed. Spread about 1 cup béchamel on top of noodles. Continue layering sauce, noodles and béchamel in 5 layers, finishing with béchamel. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top.
Place lasagna pan on a baking sheet. Spray underside of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Cover lasagna and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil. Increase oven temperature to 425°F and continue baking until top is browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

The members of Suroît hail from Îles-de-la-Madeleine (the Magdalen Islands) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where Acadian families settled after deportation from the Maritimes in 1755. This renowned band's Acadian roots are strong, with an infectious sound that embraces influences from Cajun, Celtic, bluegrass and even rock. This year the group celebrates forty years on the road, four decades of musically invoking the warmth and energy of the suroît, the wind that brings good weather.

Here is the finished dragon tail and the doodle which I worked on to help me get the loops and patterning right. as you see, I decided to change a few directions. I thought it would be more positive to have the tail point upwards.
And now, off to do paperwork for courses and assignments for the teaching class.

Excellent figures for the new-build sector points to a busy autumn for the Fortaleza property market. Furthermore, on the back of recent performance, there is news of a major property exhibition to beheld in the capital city. With supplies running low, analysts claim that now is the time for consumers to buy a home to make the most of the current favourable conditions.
Strong August for new builds
The new-build sector of Fortaleza's property market experienced a buoyant month in August. According to figures released by Lopes Immobilis, some 439 new homes were sold in the city with a total value of R$155 million.
Statistics compiled using figures from 60 major developers in Fortaleza, show that the Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) sector was particularly strong. The MCMV programme, which builds affordable housing for Brazilians, experienced a 308% increase in sales in August and a 363% rise in value sold in Fortaleza alone.
"The MCMV sector is expected to go from strength to strength for the rest of the year," said Ricardo Bezerra, Director of Lopes Immobilis, "and several more launches are planned for later this year."
Outside the MCMV programme, sales of other property types were also strong increasing 24% on July. Total value of sales reached R$104 million, up 22% on July. This indicates strong interest in new-build apartments in the Fortaleza property market.
Rise in new developments
The rise in launches of new property in Fortaleza is solid evidence of demand in the area. Eight developments have been launched so far this year bringing a total of 1,031 new units onto the market. This represents a 75% increase on the same period in 2017.
The areas with most activity in the Fortaleza property market in August were Parquelandia, Guararapes and Meireles. The latter two are perennial favourites among buyers and frequently register the highest house prices in the city.
New property exhibition
As well as the annual property exhibition held by the Caixa Federal Economica Bank, Fortaleza will host another large-scale real estate show. The Ceará construction industry (Sinduscon-CE) recently announced its first exhibition to be held in November.
The event will showcase 10,000 properties in Fortaleza and the rest of the Ceará state. Prices will range from R$100,000 up to R$4 million for the most exclusive homes available on the Fortaleza property market. Between 30 and 40 developers will exhibit their property portfolios.
The organisers expect big interest from buyers, particularly since market trends indicate that now is a good time to buy. "This will be the last chance for consumers to take advantage of property deals," said Andre Montenegro, President of Sinduscon-CE. "Supply is running out and Fortaleza currently has just 7,500 new-build units available."
Buyers will also be looking to make the most of the current favourable mortgage conditions. Record-low interest rates plus the increase in loan terms – some banks are offering up to 35 years – mean loans are now accessible to more Brazilians than ever before.

This was o.k. It might be a great way to get some kids to enjoy salad. Mine are older and preferred grilled chicken instead of breaded.

My FaceBook account was hacked recently. A phishing message was posted to all my friends.
Ernesto alerted me within hours of the occurrence, and I changed my password and went to my wall and deleted every instance I could see of the posting.
I also posted a message cautioning people not to click the link.
But days later, I was still getting messages from friends, wondering about the post.
Evidently, it wasn't deleted from everyone's wall. So I just spent upwards of an hour clicking through my friends list, going to their walls one by one and deleting the post. I was surprised by how many places it wasn't deleted - I guess the FB algorithm is not to be trusted.
I didn't have to do all that clicking, but my twentieth century sense of etiquette demanded that I clean up the mess made in my name, even though I had nothing to do with it.
One friend told me I shouldn't apologize, but admitted she too feels responsible when anything with her name attached to it, goes out into the world.
So I wonder - do younger people feel this sense of having violated others' privacy and personal space with a come-on in their name, even if they didn't create the problem? Am I really from a Calvinist time, in which everything is going to turn out to be my fault eventually, so I might as well own up right away?
I thought I exorcized guilt years ago - I've put my energy into treating people fairly so I have nothing to apologize for. But when this happened, Wham! Immediate and total Guilt!

Quad Tip Catback Exhaust System
P/N – quad-15wrxsti-ctbk
SubiSpeed's Quad Tip Catback Exhaust System features a TIG-welded, four-piece system made from 304 stainless steel. Weighing in at 35.4 lbs., it is one of the lighter stainless-steel options we tested. The pipe diameter spans 76.2mm before the Y-pipe, which then shrinks down to 63.5mm just before the two mufflers. This exhaust system bolts onto the down pipe with a 9.6mm laser-cut flange, followed by slip-fit connections between the mid-pipe, Y-pipe and mufflers. The four 90mm slanted tips extend a little further behind the car than the other exhaust systems, providing for a more pronounced yet attractive look. This exhaust rang among the loudest, measuring a maximum of 96 decibels at 5,000 RPM and teasing the legal limit with 94 decibels at 4,500 RPM. The SubiSpeed exhaust delivered some of the greatest and most consistent power gains across the RPM range. Peak wheel horsepower increased by 14.62 for a maximum of 292.16 at 5,750 RPM, while peak torque increased by 20.58 lb-ft for a maximum of 303.75 lb-ft at 3,500 RPM.
Product Notes
Weight: 35.4 lbs. / 16 kg Material: 304 Stainless Steel
Layout / Weld Type: Four-Piece / TIG welded
Muffler(s) / Resonators: Two mufflers
Wall Thickness: 1.5mm
Flanges: Slip-fit with clamp, 9.6mm laser-cut flange
Tips: Quad 90mm slant cut
Hangers: Five, solid
Street Price: $1,100.00
Quality & Detail
The exhaust utilized a unique pipe routing design to neatly tuck the system up under the car for a clean look.
Whats Hot
• Biggest power and torque gains
• Low weight
Whats Not
• One of the louder exhausts tested
Our Final Verdict
The SubiSpeed Quad Tip Catback Exhaust System delivered some of the greatest power gains among the exhausts we tested. It also produced some of the highest sound levels, bringing the decibel readings well into the 90s at all tested RPMs above idle, peaking at 96 decibels at 5,000 RPM. Although its sound levels come close to the legal limit, its tone and looks are hard to beat.

Slightly away from our usual blog topics, some of you may have seen a full page advert in some national newspapers today, placed in the form of an open letter to RSPB Scotland (see: Times Coalition advert) by a consortium of companies hoping to be involved in the construction and/or operation of a massive offshore windfarm. This follows news yesterday that RSPB Scotland has lodged papers at the Supreme Court, seeking leave to appeal a previous Court of Session decision that reinstated Scottish Government consents for the development.
While we're not qualified to comment on the rights or wrongs of the proposed development, some of the media commentary on the back of the advert is particularly interesting.
In a front page article in the Scottish edition of The Times, as usual protected by a paywall, journalist Magnus Linklater says that the RSPB's suggestion that the 64-turbine development off the Firth of Forth would threaten local populations of seabirds, was made despite a "detailed environmental survey commissioned from the British Trust for Ornithology, which estimated that the turbines would harm no more than 100 gannets a year". The article goes on to suggest that the companies behind the proposed development say that the impact of the scheme would be "marginal".
Linklater suggests a significant role played by the BTO in undertaking survey work to inform the developers' case. Interestingly, the figures in the Scottish Ministers' own assessment seems to markedly contradict the "100 gannets a year" figure attributed to the BTO by Mr Linklater. According to the official assessment, the cumulative impact of this development is to harm 1169 gannets a year, considerably higher than the "no more than 100 gannets a year" quoted by Linklater, and it appears that a good few other seabirds are predicted to die every year as well. Check out the 'Cummulative' column in this table from the Scottish Ministers' official assessment report:
Perhaps the BTO will clarify this huge discrepancy in the number of birds predicted to be harmed?
However, it is perhaps the editorial piece in the same paper that is of considerably more concern. It suggests that the RSPB is "stepping outside its charitable brief in mounting a legal challenge to Scottish minsters" and goes on to say that "nothing in the charitable guidelines within which it operates sanctions this kind of campaigning".
We beg to differ, as does an excellent article here (well worth a read). This Times leader has got a sinister stench not dissimilar to the Nasty Brigade's ongoing campaign against the RSPCA in an attempt to prevent prosecutions under the Hunting Act. It's pretty clear to us that campaigning to stop the predicted deaths of thousands of seabirds is exactly what the RSPB should be doing (alongside all their other stuff, of course).
Given this, why on earth would a journalist want to portray the RSPB in a bad light, suggesting that it's threatening jobs and opposing the rights of parliament? Why would a journalist quote erroneous data to support their assertions? Could it be that this was seen as an opportunity to mount an attack on the RSPB by a regular apologist from another sector that frequently tries and fails in this very tactic?
Mr Linklater has a long history of voicing negative opinions about the RSPB or writing pro-gamebird shooting/anti-RSPB articles in the media (see here), and its not the first time he's come out with some fake facts (see here for a summary). Interestingly, George Monbiot wrote about this anti-RSPB bias five years ago, and also drew attention to the fact that Mr Linklater is one of three trustees of a sporting estate in Scotland. Surely a grouse shooting apologist wouldn't misrepresent the BTO? Oh, wait a minute – remember this?
Incidentally, in another depressingly one-sided, non fact-checked piece of 'journalism', anti-BBC, ex cricketer and You Forgot the Birds mouthpiece Ian Botham went off on one about RSPB in the Daily Mail on the Inglorious Twelfth. We haven't bothered to read it all (because we're still laughing at his recent car crash interview on BBC 5 Live) but we're told that he claims that 'the RSPB are like Venezuela'. We've heard that Venezuela is rather good for birds, so we're sure that will please the RSPB.
Given that this upcoming court challenge is very clearly the RSPB standing up for birds that aren't even raptors, we're sure they'll be waiting for Beefy's ringing endorsement.
UPDATE 17 August 2017: Magnus Linklater and his fake facts, caught out again (here)

Air France Flight's Turbulence Leads to Truly Terrifying Scene
Airlines & Airports Gabe Zaldivar November 07, 2014
Image via Air France
Tuesday brought reports of an Air France flight returning back to France after suffering severe turbulence. We are just now getting a more complete picture of what was a truly harrowing experience for passengers and crew originally flying from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport to New York City.
Initially, NBC News reported an Air France Airbus A380, Flight AF006, returned to Paris after three crewmembers, and no passengers, were injured amid severe turbulence over northern England.
By late Thursday evening, the Daily Mail's Chris Kitching was providing a near in-depth look at the scene within the cabin, providing insight from a passenger who has some experience with random acts of shaking.
Kitching writes, "Passengers screamed in horror, held onto strangers' hands and prayed out loud after an Air France flight was rocked by severe turbulence in the skies over England."
It was a terrifying scene that fortunately ended after about a minute, at which time the plane made it safely back to its airport of departure.
Aarti Virani, a 30-year-old freelance arts and culture writer from New Jersey, seems to lend a great deal of information about the ambiance aboard the plane.
Virani was witness to the 1995 7.3-magnitude earthquake in Japan and offered that the turbulence generated a flashback to that awful experience.
In both cases, the shaking came out of nowhere. Virani states, "When the strongest gusts hit us they came without warning because when we were ascending the pilot made a short announcement saying it was going to be a smooth ride and there were a few clouds, but when we get above them that it should be a smooth ride to New York."
As we now know, that wasn't the case. Turbulence hit the plane without warning, injuring crew who were initially thought to have concussions. Thankfully, those injured were only diagnosed with bruises once the plane was greeted by emergency personnel back in Paris.
Virani continues that the energy and fear amid the cabin eventually subsided, "After the turbulence everybody calmed down a little bit and maybe 10 to 15 minutes later the captain made an announcement saying there were flight attendants who had been injured and we had to turn around so they could receive medical attention."
As for the jolt of turbulence, Virani describes a chaotic scene, with a nearby man praying and fellow strangers holding onto one another's hands. And she distinctly remembers a baby crying, all of which followed an initial drop that made her feel, "weightless."
Now as to the impetus behind the in-flight rumble, Kitching writes of Virani's statement, "She said there was a suggestion that the turbulence was caused by the 'leftovers' of a jet stream from a flight ahead of them."
Although it is never made clear who made this initial suggestion, a pilot or a nearby passenger, we are left to merely speculate.
Kitching did get word from Air France spokeswoman Ulli Gendrot who explained the event as nothing more than, "clear skies turbulence."
As for the 484 passengers aboard the rocking plane, none of them were injured and were sent off to their previously designated cities on Tuesday and Wednesday, departing this time with a truly captivating story.

In one of the best blog posts of the year, Charles Pierce just destroys Jon Meachem's analysis of Newt Gingrich. In part, beginning with quoting Meachem:
But by the September-October debates, Newt had grown impressive "by standing back and offering a Wise Man's view of the political shenanigans onstage and in Washington generally. "Gingrich is the only person — if you watch the dial groups [voters recruited by pollsters to turn up a dial to express enthusiasm while watching a debate] and you look at the polling and you look at the focus groups and you look at the audience analysis that's out there after the debates, Gingrich is the only guy up there who looks like a president other than Mitt," said a Romney adviser. "The rest of them look like comedians."
Forgive me, but if we're talking "dial groups" made up of likely Republican primary voters, you're talking about 20 or 30 mouthbreathers locked in a room and waiting for someone to send the cheese platter around again. If they think that Newt looks more like a president than Michele Bachmann, that's only evidence of the fact that they can be allowed to walk around in public without a keeper. Jesus H. Christ bareback on a wildebeest, that's the standard these days? Seriously, Jon, that really should tell you something.
Here's a tip, Jon. Newt Gingrich is not going to turn into FDR just because people hate him, too. People hate Bill Buckner. He's not going to be president, either.
Remind me never to make Pierce mad at me.

|Photo courtesy of http://www.megahowto.com/how-to-make-rock-candy, photo editing & enhancement by ME.
Some how my children and I got onto the topic of candy, perhaps it was a plea in disguise for me to let them eat junk for bed time snack instead of the fruit they ended up getting. Regardless, they wanted to "do" something so we opted to take a rip at making our own rock candy. How hard could it be?
Over to my good friend Google, I searched DIY Rock Candy and after reading a few articles figured I had it under my belt. All we needed was some water and LOTS of sugar... you see, the goal is to super saturate the water with dissolved sugar molecules. Eventually as the water from the prepared syrup evaporates off the crystals are supposed to attach themselves to what ever is suspended in the centre of the glass.
To keep things more interesting {and prettier} we added some gel colour to each of our 7 glasses...that's right we're gonna have a rainbow in our kitchen for a week people {and my husband better like it} because it's not going anywhere until next
Let's do the math shall we?
6 batches of cookies X 24 cookies per batch {avg} = 144 cookies!
This better work! All in the name of science right? Yeah, I'll just keep telling myself that.
Here's what we ended up doing to make our Rock Candy. Parental assistance is a must on this one because you have to bring the sugar water to a boil, and we all now how hot boilling water is, add in some sugar and Yaowza!
What you need {I scaled it back to save you sugar, make it smaller or bigger- just keep the ratio 2:1 or more in favour of the sugar}:
2 cups water
4 cups sugar { or any other 1:2 ratio of water to sugar for bigger batches} + a little extra to coat your sticks
food colour {or go au naturel and skip the colour all together}
Large pot
Wooden Spoon
Tall glass(es) (pickle jars, cleaned and dried work great too)
Shishkabob sticks {1 per glass works best...to allow for maximum room to the crystals to grow on} OR pipe cleaners
Clothes pegs {2 per stick} (or straws/pencils to tie pipe cleaners to).
Patience {7 days of it... straight... in a row}
An old folk legend said..."These sugar cyrstals will act as a base for the dissolved sugar to bind to once in the glass(es). They are SUPPOSED TO ATTRACT the sugar..."
Attract sugar my (fill in noun here).
Turn off the stove.CAREFULLY pour or ladle the sugar water into your glasses or jars leaving about an inch of room from the top. Add your food colour and stir to incorporate. {We used 7 shades from Wilton gel colours to make our rainbow: no taste red, lemon yellow, pink, leaf green, violet, orange, and sky blue}.
....um, I'm watching...still watching...WHAT THE HECK!?! So, nothing happened...I haven't a clue as to why. We followed the instructions, waited the duration, but do you think we could get the rocks to grow on the sticks? NOT LIKLEY! What a pain in the rear this experient turned out to be...but, I couldn't just leave it.
Lesson Number 2: Perserverance (aka: The Do Over)Rock Candy - Round 2:
I removed the sticks and tried using pipe cleaners. We read somewhere that this worked for some people as a good base for the crystals to adhere to. So, we reboiled the solutions (1 colour at a time) back to fully dissolved and boiling, then transferred it back into clean dry glasses and now we're waiting again... for S-E-V-E-N more days, ugh!
Trial 2 has come to a close and would you know it...we FINALLY got our rocks to grow marginally... They were not as exciting as we (I) had all imagined them to be, but the fact that some crystals ACTUALLY grew was good enough for my kids.
Ideally you would "Remove your rocks and enjoy"! I really wish the sticks had worked, eating sugar off pipecleaners seems a little wierd to me; at least there were enough other cyrstals on the rims of the glasses to provide samples of our week long experient.
I think I'll stick to what I know works best for me when it comes to confectionary wonders! Back to the basics next time. Better luck to you if you take a whirl at this science wonder.

Online sports betting industry is an idea that emerged with the ever increasing popularity of online sports betting. When a person increasingly, gets involved with online sports betting and starts to depend on the benefits earned for a livelihood, he then is said to be practicing online sports betting business. It occurs when the dependence of a person on money earned with this profession increases in a way that this becomes his/her job. It is almost always dangerous just because a person cannot usta kumarhane and should not depend entirely upon activities associated to betting.
Yet another way when the term online sports? betting business got currency is the fact that sports? betting emerged to become a business from an activity. Now, everyone wants to practice it with regard to earning profits while earlier everyone practiced this for leisure and fun. So, globalization has increased the total number of individuals taking part in betting thus making it a profession from an activity.
There are 2 kinds of gamblers in the world. One is that typical stereotype, primitive bettor that likes to spend money on the sport for the sake of fun. The individual doesn't have intentions of winning although he/she would like to. That person practices the profession just for the sake of fun, thrill and excitement placed with every bet. Such type of people have rapidly declined in the modern world where money means everything to the people. But, still these types of people exist and they also do attempt to influence people about the fun, thrill and excitement this kind of betting offers.
Another type of a bettor is the better of modern day. An individual like this seeks to earn profit in each and every betting activity that he/she participates in and takes betting as a business. These are the type of people that numerically dominate the betting systems. They may be ruthless and can easily switch to other sports if the sport that they are most compassionate about is not providing them with profits. These people have a business-minded approach and seek to make profits in everything they do.
With the entry of large industrialists in this profession, the proportion of business-minded bettors has significantly increased. People see them and realize that they've become rich and are leading a king-size life only because of their business-minded approach. Then they try to bring that approach in their betting consequently leading to increased profits.
The business of online sports betting is governed by some major factors. Patience, experience, proper technique and proper timing are some of the few. Patience is very important in order to be in the game; one has to understand the rules and techniques. That may only happen when one is patient throughout early losses. Experience is critical in determining the earning status of the person.
Experience is key that will open the doors of success and failure and they also in return can offer profits or losses respectively. Timing is vital as there are some games in which the payout is more as opposed to others .So, make sure you invest in those games rather than normal games.
Online sports betting business is an extremely interesting profession to practice provided the person earns money.

NEW SHOW: Take a look inside an actor's life
TRIPLE threat, is how Joel Bow described A Chorus Line.
There will be singing, dancing and acting as the story of 17 cast members is explored on stage.
A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of 17 dancers, all vying for a spot in the "chorus line" of a Broadway musical.
Based on real Broadway dancers' stories, A Chorus Line is funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest.
Mr Bow, from Red Giraffe Theatre, said the show was an iconic musical and brought home how auditioning is a big and constant part of life for actors and performers.
"There are some beautiful and touching moments," he said.
It delves into the humans behind the actors and what they are passionate about.
Mr Bow said auditions were a form of interviews for actors.
The A Chorus Line helps the characters explore their reasons for wanting to be part of a Broadway show.
The story goes ... after the first round of cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to speak about themselves.
Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogeneous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer's individuality.
From Cassie, the star who just needs the "music and the mirror and the chance to dance," to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister's place in dance class, saying "I can do that".
Mr Bow said his character Greg was an older dancer who had been around and had experience.
Mr Bow would not give too much away about his role but said it was an interesting role.
The show has been co-ordinated with the help of local and interstate assistance, it's directed by Tania Attard with choreography by Erin Brookhouse and vocal coaching by Sharon Thompson.
Mr Bow said with the help of professional input and the help of local theatre community members, the show had evolved with a new flair and style.
"The group has work-shopped and come out with a clean and professional show," he said.
Mr Bow added the help of Erin Brookhouse had been amazing.
Ms Brookhouse travelled from Sydney where she is based as a choreographer, composer, teacher and performer.
Hailing from Wauchope on the mid north coast, NSW, Ms Brookhouse trained in RAD classical ballet under Elizabeth Polson. She pursued her studies with Brent Street P. A. full time certificate course, ATYP, N.IDA, Screenwise and Brooklyn, NYC's The Movement Theatre Studio.
Ms Brookhouse has performed and choreographed in both commercial and contemporary dance industries for stage and screen.
While living in North America, she became resident choreographer for the Lower Ossington Theatre Toronto. She also co-founded Echo Productions Physical Theatre where she was co artistic director and choreographer.
A passionate teacher, Ms Brookhouse has taught and mentored students in Australia and Canada.
Upon returning to Australia, she founded Doll pARTS, with a focus on producing fusion theatre, using movement, music and unconventional venues to create unique and accessible live experiences.
A Chorus Line will be performed at the MECC with three performances, Friday, March 29 at 8pm, Saturday, March 30 from 8pm and an afternoon show on Sunday, March 31 from 3pm.
Tickets are available from the MECC.

The Expansiveness
of My Sound
by Andrew Forbes
Saxophonist Metche Hufu and his band are the talk of Addis Ababa, filling nightclubs and packing dance floors. But the precarious existence of this golden age of culture depends on an emperor's benevolence - and when his power begins to wane, Metche Hufu's music threatens to be silenced by the sounds of a country torn apart.
"How do you give voice to a sax player silenced by the politics of his country? If you're a jazz singer like Kurt Elling, you take Dexter Gordon's solo on 'Body and Soul' from his Homecoming album and you turn it into vocalese. If your name is Andrew Forbes and your tenor sax player is Ethiopian and it is Addis Ababa 1973 and his musical idol is King Curtis, you write The Expansiveness of My Sound and what you write is wider, more straight-ahead, stronger with political fervour, sadder than Elling but every bit as smart. Forbes is doing it solo and you have to imagine the quartet behind him. Read it with your fingers tapping and you'll catch the beat. Read it with your ears open and you'll hear Metche Hufu's body and soul. Dig it!"
— T. F. Rigelhof, author of Hooked on Canadian Books: The Good, the Better, and the Best Canadian Novels Since 1984
Mike Mike Mike Mike
by Grace O'Connell
After twenty years of running, Betty quietly returns to her hometown of Arbford, thinking it a solid place to finally put down some roots. But the adage 'you can't go home again' proves true, as Betty finds that her mere presence is more than enough to disrupt the stagnant lives of everyone around her.
"In this cautionary suburban fairy tale, a big-city refugee searching for home finds herself in a nest of multiple Mikes and Pyrex-wielding vipers. With enchanting style and snort-causing wit, Grace O'Connell does casserole-studded claustrophobia like nobody's business."
— Jessica Westhead, author of And Also Sharks and Pulpy & Midge
Somehow There
Was More Here
by Danny Goodman
In New York City, Ben smokes too much and sleeps with women as a way to deaden his insecurities. With every indiscretion, he fights off adulthood for one more day, until the return of an ex-lover leaves him unsure of everything. Ben's best friend, Josh, struggles to find the good in his marriage to Maddie, even as he searches for a way to keep from losing her. Ben's neighbor, Mrs. Aguilera, looks to make peace with those she has already lost. Gripping tightly to one another like the oddest of families, Ben and his friends embody the place in which they live: a city where everything combines, with a touch of perfect madness, into something more than the sum of its parts.
"I love this story because it's just plain good. The characters are broken and unsure, but the love they have for each other and the humor that carries them along is genuine and lovely to behold. This story made me laugh even while it was hitting me in the gut, and I'd like nothing more than to sit down and drink a beer with everyone in it. Mr. Goodman, thank you for rocking my literary waffle."
— Lish McBride, author of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer
Cross Yourself
by Lana Storey
Some time after the incomprehensible death of his son, Joan Miró has settled into his new job working the overnight shift at a Hasty Market in Toronto. He has plenty of time to think beneath the fluorescent lights of the convenience store: of ghosts and late nights, of downtown living and dying, of customer service and self-preservation, of the beauty of the night sky, and of the attempts people make to connect with one another despite seemingly insurmountable distances. These fragments of life prove as difficult to make sense of as any code—until one night, when an extraordinary series of events suddenly teases a pattern from the dark.
"In this graceful, dark, and nuanced piece, Lana Storey reveals a private man unhinged by grief. These are events—and this a narrative—that will stay in my mind for a long time. Never one to shirk from difficult truths, Lana Storey writes in the tradition of George Saunders: an original, at times disturbing, but ultimately transformative worldview."
— Carolyn Smart, author of Hooked: Seven Poems and At the End of the Day
"Cross Yourself is Lana Storey's gorgeous swirling image constellation, a story about a man becoming unhinged from the universe and finding redemption in a downtown Hasty Market convenience store. A vibrant, beating heart of a short fiction, Cross Yourself is a vortex worth being pulled into."
— Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, author of the 2005 Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award finalist The Nettle Spinner
Bright Lights on Broadway
by Dave Margoshes
Having lived a long, eventful life, Charlie Weinheimer's only regret is that he has no one to carry on after him. After a near-death experience, he resolves to find out whether a secret buried in his past is proof he has a legacy after all.
"Margoshes gives us the life of Charlie Weinheimer: quadruple bypass patient, widower whose children all die tragically young, but not a whiner. In his hospital bed at age seventy-seven, he's seen it all, right? Well, maybe not. Watch as Margoshes calls upon his raconteur skills to thicken the plot."
— David Carpenter, winner of the 2010 Saskatchewan Book Award for A Hunter's Confession
In Our House
by the Sea
by Kirsty Logan
Romance is candlelight on cheekbones, blurring gazes and the press of heels on strange sheets. But what happens a year later? You're sharing bath towels and bickering over who forgot to buy a light bulb. There is beauty in a familiar hand on the nape of your neck. There is love in waking up under a shared blanket. This story is about the romance of domesticity.
"Kirsty is one of the best and brightest . . . when I read her stuff I feel like I could taste it, chew it, roll it around on my tongue, the language is so delicious and sturdy and musical. She also has a knack for getting relationships exactly right in her writing, whether between parent and child or lovers or friends."
— Amber Sparks, Fiction Editor at Emprise Review
Memories of a Carnivore
by Julie Dupuis
A hybrid travelogue and memoir that pieces together the fragmented recollections of one woman's rocky journey toward vegetarianism. From her rural upbringing in francophone Northeastern Ontario to exotic locations, outlandish adventures, and bizarre meals, Julie relives her struggle to make the right food choices for herself and examines the consequences of her decisions.
by Cynthia Flood
New wife and mother Julie is a woman struggling to find her place. Her dilemmas, while modest, feel harsh, and reflect the ways in which women were once denied control over their own bodies. Her first steps toward independence bring great pain—and not only to herself. With sparing, incisive prose, Cynthia Flood unravels what it meant to be a married woman in post-war era Vancouver, creating an evocative and even unsettling experience for the reader.
"With a precision of language that startles and delights, Cynthia Flood offers glimpses of those moments in which the essence of an entire life is revealed."
— Nancy Richler, author of The Imposter Bride
"What a great story! Told in terse, restrained sentences, yet opening to a lush and radiant heart, Addresses captures the anguish of a marriage gone off the rails, and the moments of redemption that arrive from unexpected places. Flood's use of language is uniquely her own–staccato, clean as a knife, and brilliant. Cynthia Flood has done it again."
— Shaena Lambert, author of Radiance
"The abruptness of the title tells so much about this exquisitely drawn story by Cynthia Flood. 'Tell the truth but tell it slant,' Emily Dickinson advised, and that's always been the approach Flood has preferred for her bone-china fictions, edging into them sideways. Once escorted into the story's arrhythmic heart, we readers have no choice but to immerse ourselves in a world long gone but still very much with us, to emerge both shaken and stirred."
— Dave Margoshes, author of A Book of Great Worth
Angels Passing
by Don McLellan
Father Michael, in his final assignment, has been asked by his Order to help facilitate recovery of an Asian country blighted by war. On the long odyssey into the interior, his driver and translator Trang tells him a story set in a once-famed traveller's refuge known as the Inn of Tender Embraces. What starts as a simple tale of ill-fated lovers becomes, for Father Michael, a familiar beacon that guides him through the mists of an exotic landscape.
"Don McLellan is the kind of wise, well-travelled writer we don't see much of these days. With Angels Passing he earns the right to be included in the exotic tradition of Hemingway, Maugham, and Graham Greene. Like all memorable writing, his story takes us to another world and holds us there. As spare and subtle as it is powerful, Angels Passing will linger in your mind long after the last page."
— John Lekich, Governor General's Award Finalist for The Losers' Club
Eleven Miles There,
Twelve Miles Back
by Meghan Rose Allen
Deep in the heart of Ontario cottage country, Izza Ingram's biological family disintegrates when her parents become trapped in a moment Izza can barely remember. Lost to their parents, she and her sister Paulie form an unlikely family unit under the guidance of their parents' friend Doug. In this trio of their own making, Izza, Paulie, and Doug try to navigate the differences between the families we are born into versus the families we choose.
The Last Judgment
by Maria Meindl
Charlotte is on the cusp of adolescence, and her world is being turned upside down. Unable to turn to her distant mother or absent father, she searches for guidance on the streets of downtown Toronto—and discovers God (or some version of Him) in the gutter.
"The Last Judgment is a story that penetrates into the heart of childhood sadness. Charlotte is without tools to fix what is broken, except for the incredible force of her will. The connections she makes between religion, parental failure, sexuality, and love make perfect sense because they are told in her bell-clear voice. This story is warm and tragic and, at moments, grimly funny."
— Rebecca Rosenblum, author of Once and Road Trips
Obscure Objects
by Caroline Adderson
Coming out of an unhappy relationship and a stint at an artist colony, Charlotte, a writer, takes a job teaching at a private ESL college. There she befriends Renata—audacious, sexy, and as changeable as Proteus. "I have a story for you," Renata says to her one day over lunch. She doesn't elaborate further, but Charlotte soon discovers that she has found in Renata an unexpectedly passionate and compelling subject.
"Caroline Adderson is such a graceful and intelligent writer that the work that must surely go into creating her hilarious, prismatic stories is never betrayed in the language. There is no strain on the page, not a bead of sweat. I think of her as a writer's writer. I envy her talent and learn from her sentences. The short story, Obscure Objects, is, I'm happy to report, Adderson at her glorious best."
— Barbara Gowdy, author of Helpless and The White Bone
"Obscure Objects, Caroline Adderson's fierce and affecting workplace comedy, is a deadpan gem: droll, moving, snapping-smart."
— Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling, The Ten-Year Nap, and The Position
The Oughts
by Richard Rosenbaum
Polly knows what she wants: to be in the greatest band in the world. Oliver knows what he wants: Polly. Together they are The Oughts, a duo trying to attain the unattainable, one basic chord at a time.
"Richard Rosenbaum's The Oughts jabs its sticky little fingers right into your heart and swirls them around in there for a long, long time. Its characters unfold in pitch-perfect awkwardness and tender apathy, and readers will be struck by the surreal hinges and twitching imagery that Rosenbaum flawlessly weaves in. Writers in the audience should take note: Rosenbaum has created a writhing work of fiction that any scribe would aspire to be capable of pulling off."
— Liz Worth, author of Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk in Toronto and Beyond and Eleven: Eleven
Psalm 77
by Jack Bootle
On an isolated English beach a man looks back on his school days, recalling the joy and torment of a secret love affair with a boy full of strange ideas, a boy obsessed with the language of the King James Bible. Moments from their relationship return to him: the hidden meetings on the beach, the first attempts at sex, the boredom of a school assembly in summertime, the cruelty of a young English teacher. But most of all he remembers the boy's words. They're words that, years later, will haunt him as he tries to come to terms with the person he has become.
"Psalm 77 is the type of story that one wants to read over and over, searching for meanings previously unseen. It is laced with the hidden, the secret, the sacred. From the sand dunes and their private longings in school to the verses, the imagery, and the final paragraphs, there is so much to uncover . . ." (Read full review)
— Amanda Miller from shortsundone.ca
This Is a Love Crime
by Lee Kvern
Marta is a human resources employee at a grocery store chain. She moves through the days passively, always taking the path of least resistance, until a case at work - that of a hijab-wearing woman, in defiance of a strict no-hats policy - awakens her to the injustices of her own life.
"This Is a Love Crime by Lee Kvern is a cunning and intensely human look at one of the central issues of our time. It negotiates the space between belief, racism, liberty, and sexuality with curiosity and compassion."
— Todd Babiak, bestselling author of Toby: A Man and The Garneau Block
"Lee Kvern paints with a scalpel. With characteristic unflinching honesty, she peels the relationship between Marta and Corbin back to quivering nerves in This Is a Love Crime and juxtaposes it against veiled assumptions about cultural oppression. The narrative leaps crackle with energy and empathy. When I read Kvern's stories, I'm seduced by exquisite detail and—love or loathe them—left with the scent of her characters long after the last page."
— Betty Jane Hegerat, author of Delivery and The Boy
"In This Is a Love Crime, Lee Kvern uses the intricately drawn characters of Corbin and Marta to explore the charged topics of ethnicity and Western modes of submission and control. Written in Kvern's distinctive, poetic, and multi-layered style, the story leaves us with warm insight into all the characters—and challenges our hearts and preconceptions."
— Barb Howard, author of Whipstock, Notes for Monday, and The Dewpoint Show
What Endures
by Pauline Holdstock
Inspired by true events, this story by Scotiabank Giller Prize-nominated author Pauline Holdstock tells of the incredible bond between a mother and daughter, and with gut-wrenching poignancy reminds us of the little things that make life worth living.
"Hers is the kind of prose you get lost in."
— National Post on The Hunter and the Wild Girl
"Holdstock's writing manages to be both heartbreakingly poetic and densely detailed ... sad passages, ghostlike recollections, written almost from the vantage point of the present, establish the book as a great work of fiction."
— The Globe and Mail on Into the Heart of the Country, longlisted for the 2011 Scotiabank Giller Prize
"Holdstock, with a few deft strokes, pulls the reader into the tumultuous life of an alluring rabble of characters: painters, sculptors, patrons, fools, and slaves ... In Beyond Measure, she proves herself a master of pacing. Her lively, macabre plot trips lightly along in spite of its dark elements."
— The Globe and Mail on Beyond Measure, finalist for the 2004 Giller Prize and the 2004 Commonwealth Writers' Prize
