The Infinite Monkey Cage: Risk
John Hodgman reads from "More Information Than You Require" and Jonathan Coulton performs live at Coolidge
This all-too-brief and face-hurtingly funny reading segued into the musical portion of evening, with a buckskin-shirt-and-coonskin-cap-clad Coulton laying down a few gems. Here's the set list, with helpful time demarcations:
- 37 min: An ode to Adama, Starbuck, those other wily Capricans, to the tune of the original Battlestar Galactica theme song
- 39 min: "Tom Cruise Crazy," which is just as awesome as it sounds
- 43 min: "The Future," a wistful sci-fi epic of adolescent angst
- 47 min: "Brookline," Coulton's chronicle of getting sucked into the charming-yet-Lovecraftian vortex that is Brookline, thanks to Hodgman's nefarious influence
- 52 min: "The Presidents," an "88 Lines About * 44 Women"-style ditty about all the presidents so far (a song that's about to get a major retooling)
- 57 min: The evening's grand finale, a moment of musical/literary history that MAY NEVER BE REPEATED, in which Hodgman picks up a ukelele and joins Coulton in an adorably wobbly rendition of "Tonight You Belong to Me." Holy swoon.

We're going bananas over this monkey themed first birthday that Shawna Pardo, coordinator and owner of Trio Events, threw in honor of her son's first birthday!
Shawna wanted to put a "swinging spin" on the usual jungle-themed children's party. With a little help from some gorillas, orangutans and spider monkeys, Shawna turned her backyard into a wonderland full of primate fun. Here are all the party details, as told by Shawna herself…
"I'm all about atmosphere and dress up when it comes to designing children's special events. I wanted to have a backdrop that transported guests to the treetops. I began by cutting out the shape of tree trunks from plywood and hand painted them to look lifelike but playful. The trunks were then attached with screws to the blue painted background. Once attached, I painted the grass blowing in the wind.
To give the tree murals a more life-like, three dimensional appearance, live tree branches were then attached with brackets to the ends of the painted branches. The plush swinging spider monkeys found this tree to be a perfect "hang out" spot for the party!
The beautiful cupcake tower in the center was custom created by the amazing Julie Desmueles from Blue Cupcake. The unique tower added the perfect bit of spunk to my table décor.
No monkey event could ever be complete without some swinging monkeys…
I used the same hanging spider monkey's I used in the murals, to hang in the real trees in our backyard. The plush monkey's long arms and Velcro hands made hanging them a breeze. We conveniently have banana and plantain trees in our yard, and hung our new friends to add to the ambiance.
I wanted each table to be greeted by their own special primate friend. I bought brown woven baskets from Target in the seasonal summer section. The plush monkeys were all purchased from either Target or at my local toy store.
The turf grass that each monkey sits atop in the baskets were bought at www.partypartnershop.com. The monkey printed fabric overlay was purchased at my local fabric store. I used pinking sheers to cut the edges instead of having to sew them all with a finished edge. This works great when you are pressed for time and actually makes a really great little detail.
The Children's Table:
No children's party is complete without a personalized table just their size! This table is fun and inviting for all the little monkeys…
The tablecloth and runner I custom made with fabric I bought downtown in the garment district when I couldn't find the exact brown stripes I wanted at my local fabric store. The plush monkeys were found at my local toy store and I used the same tissue turf inside the baskets from www.partypartnershop.com.
The melamine monkey plates I found at Target much to my surprise after I had no luck at my local children's boutiques or online searches. The plates were another perfect take home item for our guests. I used the same stickers I used on the invites on white cups that were personalized with each child's name. The palm trees were actually mini-pinatas I bought at Party City.
Activities and Favors:
I wanted to kids to be able to run around with their masks on and play a bit of dress up. These boy and girl monkey faces did the trick for my pint sized guests…
The favor pails came in sets of a dozen with all the foam parts that I put together as you see in the photo above. (Masks and pail party favor kits purchased at www.orientaltrading.com.)
At every party I host or coordinate, there always has to be a craft or activity table. It's always theme related and original. This party was no exception with it's "Build A Monkey" station.
I purchased the unstuffed monkey kits and blank T-shirts at www.adollysworld.com. The white T-shirts were not decorated initially so I scanned in a sticker of a banana and printed them out on iron-on sheets. I have used iron-on sheets many times to personalize t-shirts or bags for parties. I recommend buying Avery iron-on transfers at your local office or craft supply store.
Once the children stuffed and dressed their chimps, I used a permanent brown fabric marker to write the name given to each new monkey. Each monkey came with a carry home tree box and birth certificate.
The Invitations:
This handmade invitation was pretty simple to construct. Once I chose my theme I began looking for 3-D stickers.
I found the above monkey stickers at my local craft store. The raffia edge is simply cut raffia attached to hot glue. The green, brown and yellow card stock I merely cut to the preferred size and attached in layers with a glue stick.
This party was soo much fun to coordinate and design. All of our guests had a wild time and were so excited to make and take home their own new monkey friend. My guests are still talking about this event, which is really all I could ask for."
Thanks for sharing all of this the fabulous inspiration, Shawna!

I absolutely love this! I am going to do this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and I am so excited about it.
62Jennifer SAYS:
I have looked everywhere for cute monkey plates for a 9 yr old BD party. Target does not have yours anymore. Any suggestiopns?
63Blanca SAYS:
Hello! I love your ideas. I was just wondering what size of pail you bought for the favor pails.
64Alicia Moran SAYS:
I disagree with colleen slanina that this party is over the top for a 1 yr. old. Maybe for the actual birthday boy, but not everyone that's invited is that young. my daughter will have her 3rd b-day party this year, but there will kids up to 8 yrs. old at the party. it's good to have things that the older kids can get into, as well!
65Julie SAYS:
I LOVE this. I am actually planning a monkey themed first birthday party for my son and it is so HARD! Even with your awesome ideas I'm having a really hard time finding monkey stuff. Even at Target and Oriental trading :( I'm not giving up yet though!!!
66The Fairy SAYS:
What a cute party!
67Julie SAYS:
I love this and have stolen a few ideas for our upcoming monkey party. I got the buildable monkey stuffed animals, can you tell me how I can get the iron on bananas for the shirts?
THANKS again for sharing!
68Marissa SAYS:
I was searching the web for monkey party ideas for my little boy's first birthday when I found this. LOVE IT and the crazy part is my son's name is BARRETT too!!! Thanks for posting this!!

Monkey themed parties are all the rage right now! This is a great theme that will be loved by any birthday boy or girl.
70Nicola @ Twisty Noodle SAYS:
I might be having a monkey birthday in February, thanks for all of the great ideas! Here's a coloring page that matches your monkeys. You can customize the text for your party!
71Gabbie Lopez SAYS:
I love evrything about this, unfortunately OrientalTrading no longer carries the monkey pail favor kits..
72Erika Casarez SAYS:
Hi I love the whole monkey idea I so wanna do it for my baby. Under what category did you find the mask and pail kits? I was searching for them on the website you provided and didn't find the? If you can help me search them please :) thank you!
73Jodi SAYS:
I love this party theme. I am planning my nephews frost birthday party, and my sister-in-law loves loves the monkey theme. I am having trouble finding raffia to make the invitations. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of raffia that I can use for the invitation?

Videotaped Confessions and the Genre of DocumentaryJessica M. SilbeySuffolk University Law School Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal, Vol. 16, p. 789, 2006 Abstract: This essay begins the exploration of two contemporary and related film trends: the recent popular enthusiasm over the previously arty documentary film and the mandatory filming of custodial interrogations and confessions. The history and criticism of documentary film, indeed contemporary movie-going, understands the documentary genre as political and social advocacy (recent examples are Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 and Errol Morris's Fog of War). Judges, advocates, and legislatures, however, assume that films of custodial interrogations and confessions reveal a truth and lack a distorting point of view. As this Article explains, the trend at law, although aimed at furthering venerable criminal justice principles, holds a fairly naïve view of film's indexical relationship to the lived world and abjures consideration of the contemporary trend in cinema. Understanding the documentary as truth-revealing is a mistake, a mistake which can frustrate (if not undermine) the criminal justice goals of the legislation. Whatever may explain the convergence of filmmaking in the precinct house and a penchant for mainstream documentary movie-going, the trends are shaping contemporary expectations about film in contradictory ways. Investigating these trends together exposes competing norms regarding film as a legal tool and as a knowledge producing discourse. It also situates the criminal justice trend in the context of a long history of filmmaking and critical spectatorship. In light of the growing use of film as a policing mechanism, better understanding of film as both an art and a legal tool is in order.

This feature followed closely on the inauguration of Sunday At Homes by Dr. and Mrs. Hollis soon after their arrival. Clarence P. Shedd, who for three years had been an effective secretary of the Y. M. C. A., resigned in 1914 to become state student secretary for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At about that time, Edward F. Miner, '87, on behalf of the advisory committee, secured from the Institute Trustees an appropriation of $500 toward the salary of the general secretary. The new man selected for this post was Gren 0. Pierrel, graduate of Penn College, who had been an Association secretary at University of Iowa. As soon as the gymnasium was ready for occupancy the Y. M. C. A. moved to quarters that had been designed for it there, an assembly and reading room, office, and billiard room. In 1916 the first Tech Carnival, a series of skits by various fraternities and the faculty, was held in the gymnasium, under Y. M. C. A. auspices.
The gymnasium immediately became the center for other social functions, assemblies, mass meetings, and dances. The Class of '16 held its senior ball there, and during summer practice there was a Shop dance. In 1913 and 1914 the interfraternity dance was a social feature of the spring; the following year it was converted into a junior prom, scheduled for the evening after the Tech Show. The Show continued to be regarded as a highly important event and Winsor R. Davis, '16, continued to be the favored playwright. He won the prize of fifty dollars offered for the best script for the 1914 play, "Lost a Fortune," similar prizes for his 1915 Show, "The House that Jack Built," and for his 1916 product, "The Cup and the Cop."
Athletic contests produced the usual modicum of victories. The 1913 football team had to be content with no wins. The following spring the baseball team had but two victories. Track athletes, by contrast, were making a glorious record. The indoor relay team, Reed, Warren, Moulton, Russell and Keith, started the establishment of a reputation for Tech in this event. The outdoor track team also produced a fine triumph over Rensselaer. In 1914, after another dull season,

A system of fine particles of magnetic materials behaves differently than its bulk counterpart. This book provides a comprehensive background to understand this deviation of behaviour. After giving an introductory account of magnetism, the book presents a discussion on ferro, antiferro, ferri and weak ferromagnetism which belong to a class of cooperative phenomena. An elementary idea of domain structure which explains the behaviour of ferromagnets has been included. The fine particles of magnetic materials have been classified according to grain size into single and multidomain particles. In an assembly of fine single domain particles below a critical size, any cooperative alignment of dipole moments may not be possible because of thermal agitation. As a result, the assembly exhibits magnetic behaviour of a giant paramagnetic system above a critical temperature known as blocking temperature. This phenomenon known as superparamagnetism has been presented in detail. Magnetic materials comprising of fine grains can also carry a faithful record of the geomagnetic field at the time of cooling of an igneous rock or deposition of a sedimentary rock. This memory of the past geomagnetic field is maintained through their remanent magnetization, which is extremely stable. A detailed experimental study of a magnetic system exhibiting thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) due to its cooling below the critical temperature in the presence of the residual magnetic field of the experimental set up in the laboratory has been described. Different possible mechanisms on the origin of TRM in the samples including the formation of fine lamellae have been discussed. The last chapter presents an experimental study on magnetic systems comprising of very fine magnetic particles and exhibiting superparamagnetism.

Jump to Recent Weddings Blog Here
Boreham House is a fantastic venue from the viewpoint of a wedding photographer full of character and charm. Many great backdrops, plenty of space, and a fantastic venue for hosting your Wedding reception, and Wedding Breakfast
Using the latest digital photography equipment and techniques, our professional service captures every aspect of your wedding day; the details, the atmosphere, storyboarding your whole day as it happens.
The bulk of the day is spent photographing in a reportage style, ensuring you spend plenty of time with your guests. People usually find these candid photographs a lot more relaxed, and we capture more of the atmosphere of the day.
The formal line-ups need not be too formal, and the posey shots are usually far from posed. 'Arranged' is a better term, we feel posing you too much won't ever look natural, we'd much rather photograph you looking comfortable and relaxed, arranging you in beautiful surroundings for memorable photographs.
We always ensure the photos are whatever style you wish them to be, at some weddings we spend the entire afternoon taking formal family portraits, at others only a handful of arranged groups are required. They can be as formal or candid, classical or contemporary as you'd like them to be. It's up to you.
Your photographs are available to you in high quality wedding albums or picture frames.
We upload your photographs to our website after the wedding (if you so wish), so your guests can order photographs online without any inconvenience to you. These can be password protected too if you wish, so only guests from you wedding can see them. Here you can also see the entire selection of photographs from recent weddings as a potential customer.

Any prices listed on this website may be subject to change at any time. We'll try and keep anything listed as up to date as possible.
The huge lake that greets you at Boreham House is an impressive sight
The groom & his best man. It's nice to get photos like this that look relaxed, as well as more typical poses.
Nice casual posing with all the guys.
I like to photograph the wedding rings against something with a contrasting texture if I can, a nice close shot shows the shiney metal, brushed finish or diamonds well too.
The Bride's preparation, in the very impressive looking smart bedroom. Shots taken in the mirror like this give a nice twist to the photos.
A very grand setting to show the bride pre-ceremony
The ceremony takes place in another very smart room. The registrars allow me take photos throughout the ceremony, which or course I undertake with as much discression as possible. Nothing but natural window light creates lovely natural photos.
Fresh from the ceremony I like to get a couple of photos, keeping it brief so they can get back to their guests. this way they walk back into a room filled with their guests, rather than waiting as guests make their way out into the hall.
The red Corvette was important to the bride & groom. Here I've used a short depth of field to ensure the bride and groom stand out from the background, the Corvette, delierately not the main point of focus, is still recognisable and striking.
A closer shot here - I love the bright background, a nice short depth of field makes it nice and speckled!
Making use of some of the characterful details of the building here. Quite a simple pose, but it gives a 'candid' feel.
The position of the sun here is pleasing, it gets lower in the sky and changes the lighting completely.
Finding spots like this with more natural greenery is nice too, when much of the day has used architectural backdrops.

I am not an adviser to Mitt Romney. However, if I were, (if you are reading this Mr. Romney, I'd be happy to fill any vacancies you may have) this is what I'd be telling the Governor, assuming that today's issues are still relevant in the 2012 campaign:
Barack Obama's approval ratings are trending steadily downward. People across the nation are frustrated with the stagnant economy, dithering in Afghanistan, an unclear foreign policy (just what exactly is the president trying to achieve?), unprecedented and irresponsible government spending, and an ongoing apology tour de farce. They are worried about how health care reform, cap and trade, and any more "stimulus" bills will effect their daily lives – their jobs, taxes, energy costs, grocery bills, and so forth. In other words, there is a fair amount of civil unrest throughout the nation. In fact, I think the only bipartisan sentiment we are witnessing in America today is a collective cry to "slow down!"
For the first time in his life, our current president will have to run for re-election. And for the first time in his career he will have to defend his leadership record. Suffice it to say, he is not off to a great start. How then can a challenger in 2012 capitalize on the political climate of today?
Mitt Romney has a unique talent to "see around corners". I wonder if our current leadership, Republican and Democrat alike, truly understand the symbiotic relationship between our economy, and our national security. Current trends, remarks, and actions suggest they are at best, ignorant, and at worst, malicious. Governor Romney is best known for his economic skills. That reputation is warranted, however, one aspect of those skills that is largely overlooked is his ability to take a dire situation, and turn it around into something profitable and successful. He knows that the strength of our military, the power of our negotiators, and the authority of our president is all contingent on the power of our economy. If it is weak, then everything else follows. What is alarming is that our enemies seem to understand this principle better than our president, secretary of state, and representatives on Capitol Hill.
Mitt Romney knows these things. He has built a career on building success through economic prosperity.
Right now the American people want to hear once again how great the United States is. They want to know that through our ingenuity, our courage, and our entrepreneurial spirit, that any challenges that we face can be, not only overcome, but turned to our advantage. That through the unfettered spirit of the individual, all things are possible. It was not increased government spending, or bloated entitlement programs that lifted us out of the Great Depression. It was not health care reform or climate change legislation that sent an American to the moon. It was not bailouts, handouts, and a White House led culture war that defeated Communism, some 20 years ago.
It was Americans. You. And I. Our grandparents, and parents.
Mitt Romney could quickly become the candidate (and president) of an American Renaissance. A period of recovery, peace, and prosperity led by the peoples confidence once again in the individual pursuit of happiness.
However those same Americans do not want explanations. They want results. If the current political climate persists into the 2012 election season then no doubt one of the albatrosses that will be hung around Governor Romney's neck (by his fellow Republican challengers) will be so called "Romneycare". I do not think it is in his best interest as a candidate to try and explain away the nuances of the Massachusetts health care system. Nor is it beneficial to claim that it has not been implemented as designed. And while that may be true, that same spirit of independence that defines the American people demands accountability. And so, I think Mitt Romney ought to own Romneycare, and admit that it has fallen short of expectations. Admit it was a mistake, whose lesson was learned the hard way, but luckily on a small scale. It would give Mr. Romney a chance to admit failure, but also to offer new solutions. It would lead to an excellent opportunity to denounce government controlled health care and to point out that the private sector is best suited to fix our economic problems. And ultimately, health care is an economic problem.
The success of our nation will come down to the resolve and faith of the American people. Having a president that is constantly blaming others, complaining about messes he "inherited" and telling those who question or disagree with him to "shut up and get out of the way" is draining the spirit and morale of the people. In less than a year we have grown tired of the rhetorical tongue lashings, the attacks on the private industry, and the inability to stand firm and make hard choices. We demand optimistic, experienced, leadership.
Which is exactly what Mitt Romney will deliver.

Kevin Files For More Custody Of The Boys
In the wake of Britney's newest scandalous set of photos, Kevin Federline has filed papers today to be granted more custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Kevin and Britney agreed to 50/50 last week when their divorce was finalized, but even then there were rumors that Kevin would be back in court shortly to try to win more custody of the two little boys.
The details of what Kevin is asking for are under wraps, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking to use Brit's latest bad behavior as leverage to get full custody of SP and JJ. I have a feeling that this is only going to get more messy from here.
That's Mrs. Scary Spice To You
In the midst of the Spice Girl reunion frenzy and Eddie Murphy drama, we (and the rest of the world) seem to have missed the fact that Melanie Brown got married to her boyfriend, Stephen Belafonte back in June. The small secret wedding was an intimate affair in Las Vegas. That being said, we wish the couple all the best and hope Mel has finally found herself a man that will treat her well. Unfortunately, it looks like we may have to wait to get all the juicy details, as the Spice Girl has canceled her scheduled spot on Larry King because she's feeling a bit under the weather. Seems like she's having a fine time enjoying the weather to us, but we'll let it slide since she's obviously enjoying being a newlywed.
Leo And Kate Will Never Let Go
Leonardo DiCaprio is looking sharp in his 50's style suit and fedora on the set of Revolutionary Road. We were so excited to hear that Leo and Kate Winslet were reuniting since Titanic still holds a special place in our hearts. Even though these two have come a long way since then, Leo still has a lot of love for his co-star, saying,
"She's definitely an adult now. She's got children, she's married, she's very settled ... [and] I'm still exactly the same. It's great to catch up [with Kate]. And as much as we have grown up since that movie, we're still kind of the same people that we were when we did that movie. ... We've just enjoyed being around each other." Aww. Jack and Rose forever!
Sienna In The Sun
Sienna made the most of her vacation in Spain by chilling out on the beach with some of her friends today. She may be taking a break from hitting the clubs with Diddy, but it looks like she still enjoyed a cocktail or two. Diddy's ex Kim Porter denies that Sienna had anything to do with her most recent split from the hip hop mogul so maybe Miss Miller and the Diddy really are just good friends. Either way it doesn't look like too rough of a life for the (yet to be seen) September Vogue cover girl.
Becks Takes The Field Again!... Maybe
David Beckham spent the day training to get that ankle back in fighting shape in Washington, DC today. Becks may still be flashing that gorgeous smile for the cameras, but he's obviously not happy about having to spend most of his inaugural season on the Galaxy sitting on the sidelines. Lucky for David (and my Dad who will be in the stands), he might get some playing time on Thursday night. As for his ankle, Becks said, "It's getting better. It's improving every day. A lot of people, including myself, want it to improve quicker."

Paris Ready To Unleash More Paris On The World
Paris Hilton took a break from the interesting bathing suits and beach time for a trip into town yesterday. She was supposedly on her way into the recording studio to get working on that second album. Oh yes, we're not done hearing Paris sing yet, not even close. Not only is she releasing another cd, but lest we forget about her impending rock opera. We're not getting off that easy in terms of Paris' plans for world domination, she recently said she wants to, "Own my own hotels, restaurants, my own Paris stores. There's a lot more to do. I want to be a real estate mogul." It must have been an oversight that she forgot to mention her charity work. Wink.
Lots more of Paris so read more
Kate Walsh Is Movin' On Up
Fresh off her wild bachelorette weekend in Vegas, Kate Walsh happily looked on as her stuff was packed into moving vans. In the midst of shooting Private Practice and planning her upcoming nuptials, Kate also found the time to throw down $4.75 million for a new house for her and her fiancé. It's less than a mile away from her current location, but includes a wine room, media room and a pool house amongst other fancy extras. Sounds like Kate's making big moves in her life - hopefully her new show will be successful enough to maintain her new fancy lifestyle.
Clooney in Como and on Cable
We all know George Clooney has the best life ever. He's got a group of longtime friends he still plays hoops with, an endless stream of young women who would kill to mother his children, Oscar gold, People's Sexiest title twice and of course the now infamous house in Lake Como. In this month's Vanity Fair, they highlight how the superstar has helped redefine the beautiful Italian town by making it a household name. George loves Hollywood glamour but he's also a man who gives back. Obviously George could enjoy the finer life in Como all year round however he's still working hard on projects he's passionate about. Clooney is doing good on HBO narrating a Darfur documentary and now he's producing a pilot for Showtime. Click here to learn more about Clooney's premium cable projects.

On Friday Justin Bieber stopped by CHP officers for driving more than 65 miles per hour weaving in and out of traffic on the busy 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley L.A in a reckless attempt to escape paparazzi photographers according to Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine , reports Los Angeles Times. Bieber, while driving his chrome Fisker Karma $100,000 electric sports car which looked like a silver bullet, said police told him to call 911 again if he felt threatened by the paparazzi. He found that at least three photographers were still hounding him so he called 911.
In the recording, which was obtained by radio station LA96.3FM and posted on TMZ, Bieber sounding frustrated tells the dispatcher: "Um, I have like, five cars following me," he said. The dispatcher asks the 18-year-old star his name, and he replies: "Justin." When she asks for his last name, he answers, "Johnson." "They're the ones who are driving reckless, and I'm just trying to have them not be on my tail," Bieber said. Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine who heard the call blamed Bieber for initially giving the dispatcher a fake name, without explaining he was a celebrity being chased by photographers. Then dispatcher asked him if he wanted a highway patrol unit to stop the cars from following him, he said, "I would love that."
Officer Mike Harris said , he filed a complaint to see if any photographers will be charged with breaking California's paparazzi law, According to CNN

Vote! (a question to readers
& a free signed Ruhlman's 20)
post in light of what I considered to be eight disastrous years of Bush, unnecessary war, and an economy that was going to take well more than four years to fix. I was at first surprised by some of the angry comments I got. A reader named Art wrote, "You're a consommate [sic] chef. Leave it at that. Keep your friggin' political opinions to yourself," followed two minutes later by Joe: "Because you can cook, you can tell me for whom I'm to cast my vote? I don't think so. Keep it in the kitchen—not the voting booth."
My response was more or less, "This site is my fucking yard and I can put up whatever sign I want." ...

TUCSON - Southern Arizona storms chances are on the decline while temps rise.
For Saturday afternoon we'll hang on to just enough moisture to support isolated storms mainly south and east of Tucson. According to Meteorologist John Patrick, as an area of high pressure shifts overhead our storm coverage will become minimal over the next few days.
While dry air nudges into the region temperatures will once again climb back into the triple digits. We could begin another 100 degree stretch starting this afternoon through the middle of next week. The last time Tucson hit 100 was July 15.
We'll watch for an uptick in storm activity by the second half of next week. Stay with News 4 Tucson on-air and on-line for further Monsoon Storm Alert updates. Track the storms with our Interactive Radar & get severe weather alerts on your phone by texting "MONSOON" to 95990.

When I first posted this note I gave it a snarky satirical headline. I thought it was clever, but then I changed my mind and thought it was unfair. So I got rid of it. This post is about the root of 'Christian' arguments justifying violence.
I've never come across a 'Christian' argument in favour of war or killing or violence that didn't boil down to: our team needs to be able to kill their team. Mark Driscoll summarises it perfectly
"Thou shall not murder" includes suicide, terrorism, euthanasia, abortion, but not necessarily capital punishment, just war, self defense.
It's not hard to reach the conclusion that 'Christian' arguments are more about fear of the Other Team than they are about the rightness of violence. The sad result is not that the Christians making the arguments turn violent – that's extreeeeeemly rare – it's that they become apologists for violence, oppression and killing by the State.

Begone, Violence! vs Beyond Violence
I can think of two kinds of nonviolence. One is pacifism born out of the fear of violence from within and without. The other is confidence in a way that is stronger than violence. The former hides from violence. The latter faces and overwhelms it. The former is actually a natural part of systems of oppression and domination. The latter transcends those systems and is a result of facing and mastering one's own violence.

That nasty Old Testament Hate Your Enemies thing
Ever since Marcion was declared a heretic, a lot of smart people have done a lot of work trying to reconcile the violence of the Old Testament with the love of the New Testament. Peter Rollins now offers his take. In typical Rollinsy style he ignores the dilemma that most people have been wrestling with and drops in a clever gem of an idea: the violence is in there because we need it. It helps us acknowledge and defuse our own anger. Click, read and ponder, dear friends.

Changing the church water
I have posted links to a couple articles the last few days about misogyny in our culture. It is obvious to me that terrible attitudes and behaviours toward women are part of the church as much as they are part of the culture at large. It seems that rather than take seriously the good news of the destruction of the dividing line between men and women through Jesus Christ, we have tried to redeem misogyny. We can do better. Here is a list of a few suggestions:
- Change any rules that prevent women from becoming pastors, priests, bishops and popes. And then get rid of any rules that allow just one gender to decide who gets to do what.
- Hold fewer conferences and events just for men or just for women and replace them with conferences and events for humans, especially events where everyone participates fully (think food, serving others, enjoying nature).
- Dump the cartoon masculinity that so many evangelical churches are using to try to attract men. It looks and sounds like a bible-versified version of the rapey lads mags. There is a wide spectrum of ways to be. Top Gear for Jesus isn't the only one.
- Stop glorifying violence. Just because portions of the Old Testament do, that's no reason for us to.
- Focus our teaching more on the way the good news of Jesus challenges us to live towards others and less on getting our definitions right.
- Lose our obsession with keeping our teenagers individually pure and teach them about the inestimable worth of each person and how to truly love and respect people, i.e. replace a focus on self and sex with a focus on others and love.
- Radically disempower the institutional church. A church that has no control over its adherents must lead by love rather than coercion It must rely on the Holy Spirit to change people. A church that has no traditional earthly authority (or, more likely, earthly power dressed up as spiritual authority) has no vested interest in keeping certain groups pushed down.
- Celebrate the new humanity through Jesus Christ. Marital status should not have an effect one's status within the church.
- Recognise that men and women are different, but different doesn't mean that because women have the babies that men are entitled to be in charge of everything.
I'm sure there is more. What other positive things would you add?

In which I show that Remembrance Sunday would be better named 'Collective Amnesia Sunday'
On Sunday our nation will stand in silence to remember those who died fighting for our country, as will I. But we Christians, in our rush to remember one thing often forget many other things.
We forget that while our young people were fighting the bad guys to protect our way of life, the bad guys thought we were the bad guys and were fighting to protect their way of life.
We forget Dresden, Abu Ghraib and extraordinary rendition.
We forget shooting deserters, shell shock, nightmares and PTSD.
We forget that we ask teenagers to kill people for the sake of oil or 'national interests' or 'terrorist threats' and then expect them to come home and live normal lives.
We forget that war disproportionately kills the poor, uneducated and the oppressed of every nation while the rich and the privileged disproportionally sit at home and talk about noble sacrifice.
We forget that the 'freedom' we claim our soldiers fight for is often little more than a marketing strategy designed to make us continue to live as good little consumer cogs in a machine creating obscene wealth for a few.
We forget that our 'Christian' nation is responsible for the death of thousands of people who called themselves Christians and thousands more who never heard about the love of Jesus.
We forget that we Christians are citizens of the Kingdom of God, called to live as strangers and aliens in the kingdoms of this world. We forget that the Kingdom of Great Britain is included in 'the kingdoms of this world'.
We forget that the weapons God has given us are mighty for pulling down the strongholds of this world's systems and instead we choose to fight with the weapons of this world, spreading death in the name of life. We forget that our unquestioning participation in remembrance Sunday is an endorsement of the system that will one day send our children to die.
We forget that Jesus calls us to put down our swords and take up our crosses.
We forget that God so loved the whole world – not just the white, English speaking portions of it – that he gave his one and only son.
We forget that Jesus came so that humanity might have life to the full. We forget that Jesus personified the antithesis of his coming as a thief who steals, kills and destroys. We forget that the main business of war, no matter how noble we suppose it to be, is to steal, kill and destroy. We forget that war is inherently anti-Christ.
We forget that the two great commandments are to love God and love our neighbours with everything that we are. We forget that patriotism will always ask us to compromise our love for God. We forget that we cannot love our neighbours while we are killing them. We forget that Jesus closed every loophole that might allow us to categorise another human as Not My Neighbour.
We forget that even if a nation insists that they are not our neighbour but our enemy, we are called to love our enemies.
We forget that the lesser of two evils is still evil and that the bible tells us to overcome evil with good.
We forget that the greatest of these is love.
On Sunday, remember those who have died, and as you stand silent, remember the bloodthirsty system that killed them. Remember that you have stepped out of that system and taken the side of Jesus who loves all people with an unstoppable love.

Ekklesia: Telling the truth on Remembrance Sunday
The truth that cannot be spoken on Remembrance Sunday is that many lives lost in war have been wasted. Actually, we are allowed to say that, but only when the events concerned are safely in the distant past, and it's too late to do anything about it. It's fine to appreciate the poetry of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, and deplore the slaughter of World War One, but asking whether those killed in Afghanistan have had their lives squandered is condemned as insensitive and disrespectful. If we don't ask such questions though, how do we avoid more young men and women being sent to die for a dubious cause?

This is what the talented and attractive Jim LePage has to say about nonviolence
In my opinion, responding to evil with evil is one of the least creative things we humans can do. In a very literal sense, it is dumb. If someone is abusive towards me… my instinct is to do the same thing to them. You hurt me, I hurt you. It's a repeating pattern. That instinct and pattern are so strong that it doesn't even occur to me that there could be any other options… I think the reason I often think there's only one response to evil (more evil) is because I don't allow the creativity of Jesus in on my situations.
See what Jim did there? Nonviolence causes creativity. Read the full post. (The creativity bit is toward the bottom.)

A crucifix for now
Inspired by the fact that 48% all the money that the world spends on its militaries is spent by the United States, more than all its potential enemies combined. One little thought: a four dollar apple pie will do a lot more to sort out problems with your neighbour than a 400 dollar AK-47. (High resolution version here. Jet photo by Rob Shenk.

Easter winning
This comic strip was my text for my Easter Sunday class of 10-13 olds, mostly boys. I think it brilliantly explains an aspect of the mechanics, if not the love, of Jesus work on the cross. It's also good at showing how a nonviolent response a la Matthew 5:38–48, Gandhi, MLK actually works.

I'm special, so special / Gotta have some of your attention / Give it to me
I've been thinking about what it is that makes Christianity unique, because everybody wants to be special. I came up with a lot of things that aren't unique to Christianity: community, a strong moral code, monotheism, heaven, hell, our own music, a linear understanding of history, instant healings, ecstatic experiences, prophecy, a historic human founder, a resurrection story, a proselytising impulse, a paradigm for understanding all of life, nonviolence, scripture (Plus fundamentalism, being Right, tribalism and killing for your god.) Etc. All this stuff is quite common in and out of Christianity.
Note: Could this be why denominations, religions, organisations and tribes are so intent on focussing on their differences? If you start noticing how much isn't unique, you may become aware that you fear a loss of your identity. And your audience. And your income.
But there is something that I think is unique, or at least exceptionally rare: living and dying for the sake of, not just your friends, but also (especially!) your enemies. This is what Jesus did. This is what he invites us to do.
Lots of people will kill for what they believe.
Many people will die for what they hold dear.
Very few people are willing to die for someone who stands for the opposite of what they love.
Please tell me if I'm wrong. Tell me that there are a lot of things unique about Christianity. Tell me that there are other religions/philosophies/tribes for which suffering (with abandonment, with no guarantee of success) to save the life of an enemy is a core value.

Mind if I ask a few questions while they are reloading the Tomahawk cannon?
- Once a shooting war starts, the greatest number of casualties can always be found among civilians. So us dropping bombs on Libya is helping ordinary people how?
- I'm reading stuff in the mainstream press about Cameron working on his foreign policy chops, Sarkosy rebuilding his image after backing the losers in Tunisia, and Obama showing off his backbone. That's not why we're doing this, is it?
- If Britain is so broke that the government is cutting around 20% from nearly everything, why is David Cameron leading the charge and not saying 'Sorry guys, we're broke, but be sure to give us a call next war'?
- Why aren't we also bombing Yemen and Bahrain and asking Saudi Arabia some really probing questions about why people with awkward ideas are going missing?
- What is a good nonviolent response to Gaddafi's regime? I'm new to this. Sitting around clucking about being nice doesn't seem to be any use, but I don't actually have any good ideas.
- Operation Odyssey Dawn? As in, 'Operation Tor Shezada was pretty hot, but you Odyssey Dawn!'?

Success of imagination
While we are all still feeling impressed with the fall of Mubarak it is a good time to read Nonviolence: The History of a Dangerous Idea. It's short, jaunty and good fun (unless you don't enjoy Founding Fathers being raked over the coals of truth.)

Have you heard of this whole non-violence thing?
Guys! Guys! There's this guy called Leo Tolstoy and he's written a book* about Jesus and non-violence and resisting evil. Apparently it's a huge influence on these other guys called Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Anyway, it's like a Christian anarchist thing, and it's a bit dodgy in some places, but also super-good. Also, there's this theologian guy called Walter Wink. He's written a book too.** It's called The Powers That Be, and it's got this whole thing in it about The Myth of Redemptive Violence that says good must use violence to defeat evil. He thinks that's totally the opposite of Jesus, and I think he's right or whatever, but the implications of that are like, whoa! So that's the latest from me, Jeff Gill, your source for everything on the bleeding edge of the zeitgeist.

When viewed through the lens of Jesus's revelation of God, the end of Psalm 139 is pretty hilarious
If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
(TNIV, emphasis mine)
Of course, we have to cut David some slack – he was before Jesus – and that level of devotion and eagerness to please should not be disdained.

Everyone should watch this video...
…especially those of us who are American Christians.
Yes, but it's too naïve and idealistic.
Oh, you mean kind of like that guy Jesus Christ was when he thought he could save the world by dying for it? Isn't he the one we're supposed to be following?

Faith like a child
Since Easter, in my Sunday School class we have been talking about the garden of Eden.
Yes, that is a long time to talk about a garden, maybe. But… God's plan for the world, for people, for animals – I found it quite amazing and I'm glad the kids seemed to feel the same way, but, So many questions!
Jesus said,"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven"
I have been told that the meaning of this is that you have to have un-questioning faith. That you just accept.
Ummm… Have you ever spent any time around children? Starting at toddler-hood a favourite word is 'why'.
The ball is round
Because in order for it to roll smoothly and in the direction that you want it to roll it needs to be.
Because, if it wasn't round then when you kick it it would just go a way that you didn't mean for it to.
Umm – I just told you why. Twice!
Because you asked me to
Because you are very curious.
Because you are a child, you want to know all there is to know and you want to know it right now and apparently you want me to tell you!
I don't know, But I don't have all the answers.
Cos… I'm not God!
My own kids, and my church kids have so many questions. Often I just don't have the answers, and I won't pretend to either. But I will do my best to encourage them to keep asking questions, keep looking for answers.
Whoever seeks shall find. They will know so much more than I do. Thank Goodness.
Maybe also Jesus was talking about the enthusiasm of a child. I watched their faces light up as they learned about this perfect place before sin. I showed them a drawing of the garden, one child piped up, 'That's silly! there's a fox lying down beside a rabbit. That wouldn't happen.'
'There was no death in the Garden of Eden, the rabbit was perfectly safe to lie with the fox.'
The rest of our short lesson consisted of the kids talking about which animals they would put together if life was like it was then. Their imaginations were going nuts!
We came back to that many, many times over the next few weeks. I shared stories of the exploits of my cat Max, whose favourite thing ever is to devour small animals, and I have heard many stories of their own pets and the blood and gore they get into!
If only life could be as it was at the beginning. You can see the longing in them – for perfection, for freedom, for that ability to walk in the garden with God.
Last Sunday we talked about how the people were sent from the garden, we talked about bloodshed and shame and him blaming her and… it was very quiet in the room.
At craft time we had clay Snakes and pictures of Adam and Eve sad and shameful with their leaves and furs. One boy just looked at his paper and said, 'I want to draw but I don't know what to draw'
'What part of the story sticks in your mind from today?'
'I don't know'
'Okay, just take a little time and go over the story in your mind and as you are doing that, ask yourself how you feel and try to see if you can get that feeling onto the paper.'
This is his picture:

Hooray for violence
I can't get away from violence. The universe is full of it. It is hardwired into everything. That's a bad thing, right?
I've been reading and listening to a lot of Christians recently who believe that Christians should eschew all violence. The covenant that a follower of Jesus Christ has with God is not one of violence. Jesus's blood sealed our covenant in a once-for-all act. Our assignment is one of reconciliation, not one of purification.
Yes. But what about the violence?

Two additional students have joined a lawsuit against School District Five of Lexington and Richland Counties over a prayer spoken at Irmo High School's recent graduation.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, according to a press release from the Wisconsin-based organization, is suing the district on behalf of Matthew "Max" Nielson, who graduated May 30.
Jacob Zupon, a junior, and Dakota McMillan, a sophomore, have joined the suit, according to the release, saying in the lawsuit that they "reasonably anticipate constitutional injury" similar to Nielson's.
The school allowed the prayer at graduation under a district policy that called for a student vote. Students voted to have a prayer at graduation.
District officials have declined to speak on the lawsuit.

We urge you to support 420 struggling workers in Turkey who have been staging a picket line in front of Li & Fung for three months. These workers were employed by a company called Hey Tekstil. From November 2011 to February 2012, the company did not pay them for their last three months of work, fired them without notice, and subsequently failed to pay them their legally-mandated severance and notification payments. Li & Fung, one of the largest apparel sourcing companies in the world based in Hong Kong, was Hey Tekstil's primary business partner at the time of the factory's closure, and refuses to pay over 2000 Hey Tekstil workers 4.7 million euros. Please take action at http://www.cleanclothes.org/urgent-actions/heytekstil You can find more background information on this case at http://www.cleanclothes.org/urgent-actions/background-heytekstil Clean Clothes Campaign www.cleanclothes.org twitter.com/cleanclothes facebook.com/cleanclothescampaign

You will have a cleansing odor flowing from your body, after eating these asparagus I threw on the floor.

- Oceano is close to the boathouse at Borneokade. It was a earlier a canteen for the laborers working in the harbor. A sister concern of Le 4 Stagioni and Più, this restaurant has kept it's original look even after being refurbished in 2005. Oceano offers pizza, antipasti, fresh pastas, Italian meat, fish dishes and other vegetarian dishes. Almost like an Italian canteen, you can stop here for cocktails and Italian tapas at the bar. The terrace is opened during the summer and gives a view of the vast water body close to which it is located. This restaurant is accessible via road and boat.
