Primer on Men's Leather Summer Sandals
As the weather is getting warmer, it is time to shed the heavy, closed shoes and look for something a little more open and airy for the summer. In men's leather sandals – a very particular focus of menswear – there are at least three basic styles.
First, are the ever-popular flip-flop or thong men's sandals. It is the most open type of sandals and a great choice for casual wear. Sometimes this type of flip-flop sandal can be more of an athletic or beachy look, but there are some that can be worn with a dressier outfit. These white leather thong sandals, for example, have a white leather upper and twisted/woven brown and blue leather that keeps the sandal interesting and less boring than the rubber type of flip-flops. Something a little different from the typical Birkenstock and Vince fare!
Another favorite style of men's sandals is the gladiator or strap sandals. One, like this pair of brown leather sandals, gives you a little more support than the thong style sandal because of the straps across the toes and at the heel. They would be a nice alternative to a walking sandal because it is a look that can be worn with both shorts and casual pants.
The third basic style of sandal is the slide This one is easy on and easy off and doesn't have what might be an annoyance, if you are not partial to anyone around or between the big toe. In this photo, they have overlapping leather uppers that have side cut-outs, which will give you a fuller coverage on the foot, as well as a more secure fit. It is a great sandal to keep by the door because it will be a shoe that you will reach for over and over again. The stud detail that runs down the front, is also a nice modern touch and the gives the sandal more interest.
The Best Leather Accessories For A Lady's Wardrobe
For leather, women's fashion.
You might not give a lot of thought to the material that your accessories are made of, but many people will only settle for the best. When it comes to accessorizing, whether it's a jacket or a belt, leather is one of the most desired materials, if not the most. You can guarantee that leather products have been carefully crafted and will last you a long time. If you love leather, there are lots of accessories that will never go out of date. So invest in some of these leather items and enhance your wardrobe for years to come.
It's much better value to buy a quality pair of leather shoes that will last you years. If you need to buy a new, cheap pair every few months, you could end up spending a lot more over the same time frame. Much like many other leather accessories, there are lots of styles both men and women can buy that will never go out of date. They might be practical men's sneakers for walking or outdoor pursuits, or they could be smart Cole Haan wingtips for the office or going out. Although people often say you need to "break in" a pair of leather shoes, you should look for some that feel comfortable almost right away.
Belts will always be useful whether it's for a practical reason or just to add something extra to your outfit. Although they were originally meant to hold up your pants, they have other uses too. Women can use them to bring in a dress or shirt at the waist when they need to give their figure more definition. Leather belts make smart accessories to wear with suits or smart casual outfits, but they're also fantastic for everyday use too. Leather belts with big buckles are especially fun, whether you wear them with a pair of jeans or around your waist with a floaty dress.
Although some people don't bother with wallets anymore, they're essential to keeping all your money and cards organized. You can go without, but you'll struggle with more than a couple of notes and a card. Your wallet goes through a lot, getting thrown about in your bag or sat on when it's in your back pocket. That's why leather wallets are best; they're sturdy and will last longer than other materials. And, of course, they look smart. So you don't have to be embarrassed when you take out your wallet at a business meeting.
It may be women who supposedly have an obsession with bags, but leather bags make fashionable accessories for men and women. Briefcases and satchels are perfect for work and other formal situations. And then you have handbags and "manbags", which are ideal for taking anywhere you go. A couple of decent leather handbags are a much better investment than a closet full of cheap bags that don't last a year.
Leather is definitely the material to go for if you want stylish, timeless and durable fashion accessories. It's worth paying a little extra for excellent quality.
Spotlight On JJ Suspenders
When needing something to hold up your trousers, most people automatically think of belts as being the only choice for men, but actually suspenders have made it back onto the fashion scene. A version of them has been worn for centuries, but the more modern type that we know today was invented in 1820 by a man named Albert Thurston whose idea was a solution to the higher-cut trousers of the times. Today, they have joined the belt as an item that has the dual purpose of keeping your trousers on and being a fashion accessory.
At JJ suspenders, they have a selection of men's suspenders that concentrate on manufacturing techniques that will provide the perfect look, feel, and fit. They make it easy to find leather suspenders that are stylish and possess the quality workmanship to last. One example of the selection of suspenders that they have at JJ Suspenders is a casual style Classic Denim Suspenders that has a denim-like fabric with brown leather detailing on the back-strap and tabs. The gold-tone clips make it easy to attach to your jeans or trousers for a stylish look. These ones are $39 and will fit up to a height of 6'2".
If you like a more rugged leather look, then check out the Chestnut Java Brown Leather Suspenders which are suspenders with a classic y-back design, bold stitching, and burnished golden clip hardware, but is also offered in a button style. These suspenders have the great look of a handcrafted leather belt, with the uniqueness of the suspender style. These are also $39 and have a 15 day money back guarantee which owns.
JJ Suspenders also makes a more formal style with the Alabaster Lite Classic White Suspenders that come in a wider material strap, sliding silver-tone adjusting hardware, and dual button attachments. This dressier, crisp white version of suspenders will run you a little more at $109, but you will get free shipping and an accessory that will blend well with your white dress shirts and more formal wear.

Loving Leather This Season
One of my favorite men's accessories for this time of the year is a great leather watch. It not only tells time, but completes your look.
The Tsovet 38mm Watch with Leather Band has the quality of a Swiss movement, the classic style of a round face with clean numbers, and the elegance of a saddle brown, pebbled leather band. For $200, it can be dressed up or down.
Most men choose a belt for its function, but it also can be a stylish men's accessory. With the added texture of the woven brown leather, the Anderson's Woven Leather Belt is a great way to add some interest to a pair of pants. At $175 it may seem a little pricey, but the quality of the leather and Italian craftsmanship will be worth it.
As far as wallets go, I like the traditional bi-fold because it is less bulky and easier to find what you need. The J.W. Hulme Co. has one that is 100% cowhide, has 6 card slots with 2 pockets, and a lined cash compartment for $125. The rich color of the leather is a nod to its American construction.
Every business man needs a terrific briefcase. J.W. Hulme also makes the American Heritage Portfolio Briefcase for $695 that comes in the same rich leather with a wrap-around zip, a laptop sleeve, and exterior pockets. The rolled leather handles, shoulder strap, and brass hardware are the perfect accents.
Lastly, is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Backpack for $498. It is a stylish way to carry everything that you need and still be hands-free. The black leather backpack has main, side, and zip pockets, as well as adjustable leather straps. It is the perfect accessory for city travel.
Men's Fashion Trends – What's New In Accessories For Spring/Summer 2014
When it is time to start thinking about freshening up your wardrobe for spring, you should also be thinking about some new accessories, as well as clothing items. After seeing some of what is new in men's accessories for Spring/Summer 2014, both color and texture have made a reappearance for the new season.
In the category of carry bags, Valentino has taken both the popularity of the camouflage pattern and mixed it with the bright colors of orange and green in this flashy leather tote. It comes with both shoulder and cross-body straps to make it easy to carry, also the studded detail on the straps give it added interest. For something a little less colorful, Gucci has a rich brown leather backpack that has the ability to lock its corners to keep your items safe and also tote handles to turn it into a tote bag.
Another man's accessory that you should think about re-vamping for spring and summer is footwear. Color, patterns, and texture still pay a huge part in what's new for shoes and sandals this year. One classic silhouette in footwear is the driving moccasin, however in the CH Collection for Spring/Summer 2014, they have revved it up with a bright coral colored suede. If you are not big on too much color in your clothing, then try it in a shoe or accessory.
A second item of men's footwear that has been modernized with color and texture is the Givenchy python print leather sandals in blue and brown. The python pattern itself, as well as the blue and brown tones, are neutral enough to blend right into your wardrobe, but interesting enough to stand out in the sandal category.
Men's Fashion Spotlight – Tom Ford: What's New for Fall/Winter 2014
The designs of multi-award winning fashion mogul Tom Ford can be seen on almost any red carpet event. Formerly the creative director of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, he launched his own line of menswear in 2006. Along with menswear, Tom Ford also has a line of beauty products, eyewear, and accessories. He even ventured out of the designer world into the film industry with his film production company "Fade to Black", with which he made his directorial debut in 2009.
Although we are only into the beginning of 2014, designers have been working on their collections for the Fall/Winter. We will be taking a look at what is new for Tom Ford's menswear line-up. Since "black is the new black", you will see it in many new items for Fall. For example, this black leather motorcycle jacket has the typical styling with shorter rise and the asymmetrical zipper, but it is brought into 2014 with the quilt-like stitching around the shoulders and the fur lining, which makes it a little more versatile in the wintery weather. A "column look" is created by keeping the same color from head to toe. The slim fit of the jacket and trousers make you look long and lean. Also, the highly polished black leather boots work back to the jacket nicely.
Grey is another color that has remained in the forefront of fashion for 2013 and can be found in the Fall/Winter fashion for 2014. Tom Ford has multiple elements of grey with this chunky knit cardigan sweater, sleek grey dress trousers, and fur lined puffer overcoat.
Unique colors and textures have also been carried over to the new season of menswear. This bright navy suit is a prime example of ramping up a traditional style with a color that is rich and intense, to set it apart from the sea of black suits out there. The v-neck knit sweater and high-top sneakers give the look a nice casual appeal.
The last photo is an example of the importance of texture. This well-tailored, black Tom Ford suit is embossed with a velvet-type fabric. Even though he is dressed tonally, the embossing gives it added interest. Also, the tonal look of the jacket keeps it from being too "loud".
Men's & Women's Fashion Advice – Work Your Material For Work
For leather, menswear, women's fashion.
When it comes to buying cloths for work, it is possible to tailor your outfit to meet the demands of almost any job or environment. Knowing how materials perform in various conditions is important to ensuring that you end up with the perfect combination of fibers for the environment you find yourself working in. The following workwear tips should help to clarify what materials you can choose from as well as the properties they provide to the garments they are used to make.
Cotton Duck
Cotton is popular because it is light, durable, and breathes (allows moisture to move away from the body). The term "duck" refers to the way in which the cotton is woven. Cotton duck fabric is exceptionally durable (it was once used for ship sails), second only to leather in its ability to block wind, and one of the softer fabrics used in workwear (it gets softer with washing).

The Wimbledon tournament saw a spate of gaffes today including a breach of rules by olympic running hero Mo Farah.
The star was at the centre of an investigation by officials after he posted four videos of himself and other guests in the Centre Court Royal Box.
Farah is thought to have used his mobile phone to film some of the match between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Emests Gulbis and the film was placed in his Twitter feed early today.
Wimbledon has strict protocol rules for guests in the Royal Box and the All England Club said the use of mobile phones " in and around the courts in play" was strictly forbidden.
There was further controversy as the Duchess of Cornwall's private remarks to three presenters who "gatecrashed" an official Wimbledon welcome were broadcast live by the BBC.
Tim Henman, Virginia Wade and John McEnroe were still wearing their lapel microphones as they approached the Duchess on a balcony close to Centre Court, minutes after she had arrived.
The Duchess was clearly unaware her remarks were being transmitted on BBC2 as she told McEnroe she found it "strange" seeing him on television to play tennis.
In further remarks, evidently not designed for broadcast, she asked Britain's last Wimbledon champion Wade if she found it "very odd seeing it from another angle."
Tennis commentator Sue Barker was broadcasting live just before midday when Camilla was being greeted by officials and tennis players on the roof of the players' balcony.
She was introduced to Wimbledon French hopeful Richard Gasquet and former tennis players Tom Gullikson and Vijay Amritraj.
Camilla, who attended the tournament with her sister Annabel Elliot, was also introduced to ball-girls and ball-boys working at the All England Club.
Indian star Amritraj was the last invited guest to meet the Duchess and viewers saw the BBC trio hovering in the background sheepishly as Barker told viewers about the visit.
Viewers then heard Wade mumble: "She's got enough people to…"
Barker continued her commentary asking: "What is Mac, Tim and Virginia doing? They have just left me, just left me alone."
Wade then turned to Barker and asked: "What about you Sue?"
The Duchess, having shaken Amritraj's hand, was turning away when she saw the BBC trio who then approached the line up.
Camilla told Wade in a transmitted conversation: "Well it's third time I've been back last 15 / 10 years. I'm going to keep going I have got my sister here today. We always came to watch you year-after-year.
"It is nice to be able to catch up again.
"I watch you on the telly…it must be very odd seeing it from another angle."
The Duchess then turned to three times Wimbledon champion McEnroe and told him: "It is nice to see you. It is always so strange seeing you doing all the commentating."
McEnroe responded: " Strange? You mean my accent?"
He added: "Do you play?"
The Duchess is then heard saying: "I would love to start again. But I am too old."
McEnroe told her: "You are never too old, never too old."
A spokeswoman for Clarence House said: "It was an impromptu meeting. They were not part of the formal line up."
She said the Duchess had been informed that the BBC were broadcasting her meeting with official guests live.
A spokesman for All England Club said: 'The only set part of the list was the ball boys and the stewards. She was on the players lawn so some of the players joined in.
'It was very relaxed. It was an impromptu meeting.
'She was aware that the BBC were broadcasting live. She would have been briefed that a live broadcast was going on."
The BBC failed to respond to requests for a comment.
In Farah's videos, he is shown filming himself and his father-in-law Bob Nell and some of the play between the two tennis stars.
A spokesman for Farah said he was "unaware" he had done anything wrong.
He said: "He did not realise he had done anything wrong. No-one told him, and he will remove any offending material straight away."
The BBC owns the broadcasting rights to filming of actual play and the All England Club rules state that "film. videotape or other audio-visual material recorded within the grounds may not be sold or used commercially in any way whatsoever" with authorisation.
Farah, who won gold at the 5,000 and 10,000 meter events at London 2012, also posted footage under the Twitter name "gomofarah "of other Royal Box guests via Instagram including Sir Bruce Forsyth, Stephen Fry and Emily Mortimer.
In one video the Olympic hero, who was given a front row seat alongside the Duke of Kent, is seen smiling into the camera with Mr Nell, father of his wife Tania.
Today a Wimbledon spokesman said:"We have just been made aware of this matter and are investigating."
The Royal Box, which has been used since 1922 has 74 seats and guests are seated on dark green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs. British and overseas Royal Families are invited as well as heads of government, people from the world of tennis, commercial partners, British armed forces, prominent media organisations, supporters of British tennis and other walks of life.
Invitations come from the Chairman of the All England Club, who considers suggestions from members of The Championships' Organising Committee, The Lawn Tennis Association and other relevant sources.
Guests are invited to the Clubhouse for lunch, tea and drinks at the end of the day and the rules state that dress is smart, with men in suits or jacket and tie. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them.
The two incidents came after Wimbledon's head groundsman was forced to speak out as the courts were blamed for a spate of injuries.
Neil Stubley, Wimbledon's head groundsman, said: "We are 100 per cent confident that our playing surfaces are as good as they have been.
"They are no different from previous years and have been cut and prepared exactly the same. We are not doing anything different from last year or the years before."
Victoria Azarenka withdrew after suffering a knee injury after slipping and said: "The court was not in a good condition."
Maria Sharapova fell three times on court 3 on the same spot as Caroline Wozniacki. Sharapova was heard saying: "This court is dangerous."
The man who dumped Roger Federer out of the tournament was also suffering due to the turf today.
Sergiy Stakhovsky beat Federer but was forced to miss the champagne celebrations of his famous victory after being struck down by hayfever on Wimbledon's grass courts.

DIY Santa
You know shit is wicked rough when luxe retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom are offering deep discounts, and piles of Coach purses and Prada wallets are popping up at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross. Recession time, and the living aint easy for many a retailer. If the big guys are hurting, imagine how the little guys are doing. These days, one of the easiest ways to give back to the community is by supporting small local businesses. So were bypassing the mall and hitting up our local bead shops to make DIY holiday gifts and sign up for jewelry-making classes. As it turns out, moms appreciate gifts much more when they know you made em yourself. And sometimes they like it even more when you take them out to do something together after all, Santa cant leave quality time under the tree. Its like two gifts in one!
At Bijoux Design Creations, a basic bead-stringing class runs $25 plus the cost of the beads you choose, and it typically takes an hour and a half to complete a necklace you can wear with pride. Chandelier earrings classes will set you back only $30, and you can make a beautiful tree of life pendant for $40. Classes are offered on an appointment basis, Tuesday through Friday. Visit www.bijouxdesigns.com. At Bead Me (5704 Bird Rd., Miami), classes cost $20 to $25, and the store is open both Monday and Tuesday just in time to make Mom a pretty Swarovski crystal necklace. Single beads sell for just 8 to 60 cents, and strands run $2.90 to $30.

TechTV: BuyMusic.com vs. iTunes Music Store
"Digital music expert Kevin Arnold, founder of the Independent Online Distribution Alliance, says BuyMusic.com lacks Apple's seamless, one-price-fits-all approach to downloading music. But that's the nature of Windows, a multitude of platforms and very few licensing rules. Apple, he says, is the epitome of refinement.
'I would compare Windows to the wild, wild, west," says Arnold. "And Apple is like a gated community.'"
"iTunes Sales Continue to Fall"
"In the first day April 28th iTunes sales were at 200,000 per day. By May 5th CNet were reporting that sales had topped 1,000,000 meaning 140,000 songs were been sold per day. By May 14th this figure had fallen to 125,000. While figures published in the The NY Times on May 28th translate the figure into 100,000 per day.
The decline continued from there. 5 million tracks had been sold by June 23rd meaning the average daily sales had now hit 89,000. The figure hit 6.5 million on July 22nd translating into 52,000 sales per day.
The sales figure may reflect seasonal variance and other launch hype related factors. However there is a clear decline in place and with iTunes still failing to sign up some big bands the perceived success of iTunes is not quite what all are making it out to be."

NYT: What Albums Join Together, Everyone Tears Asunder
"The pop album made its way through the 20th century by staying adaptable, transforming itself from analog grooves to digital bits. But can the notion of an album — a collection of songs sold as a single unit, to be heard in a certain sequence — survive the Internet?
That question has been raised more insistently since Apple Computers started its iTunes store, where songs can be downloaded for 99 cents and complete albums for $9.99. Apple recently announced that 6.5 million songs have been downloaded since the store opened on April 28, fewer than half of them as part of albums. Its competition, Buy.com's buymusic.com, is expected to announce its opening on Tuesday, selling downloads for the much more widely used Windows operating system."

Workaround to share your music with iTunes 4.0.1
Recently I wrote this tutorial on how to enable the feature of sharing your music collection in iTunes 4.0.1 again… which Apple disabled with the latest update. The funny part is it can use freeware made by Apple itself! The tutorial shows you how to set up a proxy for the iTunes server and makes iTunes think the stream is coming from a local area network.

"In a masterstroke of technological and marketing acumen, Apple Computer appeared to have seized the digital music industry last month by boldly creating its own retail download service.
The Macintosh maker, diagnosed being near death in the 1990s, seemed to have pulled off another miracle: Its iTunes Music Store sold 2 million songs in its first 16 days, dwarfing rival download services and drawing raves from Silicon Valley to Hollywood. Yet even before the initial euphoria could subside, the company began hearing familiar rumblings from points north—namely, Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash."
"How to Upgrade iTunes Without Losing Sharing"
Author Jim Heid of Avondale Media has posted a great tip on keeping iTunes 4.0 Internet sharing capabilities with the recent release of 4.0.1.
"Anyone who listens to AAC audio will want to upgrade to iTunes 4.0.1, since it fixes a playback problem that existed in version 4.0.
But you may have become fond of iTunes 4's Internet sharing features, which, as I wrote yesterday, are no more.
The solution? Keep both versions—they'll coexist on your hard drive.
Before installing version 4.0.1, simply drag the iTunes application icon out of the Applications folder and into a different folder. Then install the 4.0.1 update.
When you want Internet sharing, simply launch version 4.0."
Note: Jim also has some good info on what's new in 4.0.1 and how it handles sharing.
NYT: Apple Finds the Future for Online Music Sales
'The Pop Life' columnist, Neil Strauss writes about Apple's success with iTunes Music Store and the recent disabling of iTunes Internet sharing capabilities.
"In just its first month of operation the service, by the company's estimate, has sold three million songs online, at 99 cents each. This is an impressive figure considering the limited access that music fans now have to the service.
"We designed it to allow friends and family to easily stream (not copy) their music between computers at home or in a small group setting, and it does this well," the statement said. "But some people are taking advantage of it to stream music over the Internet to people they do not even know. This was never the intent." A spokesman for Apple, Chris Bell, said the company made the decision by itself."

5.0 out of 5 stars Radical, readable, scholarly
A friend recommended I read this book. Although I was initially sceptical, as I had not always been keen on Josef Ratzinger's actions before he became Pope, I thought I'd suspend my prejudice and take my friend's advice. I am so grateful I did. Basically, this book takes the fruits of several decades of scientifically-rigorous 'historical-critical' exegesis and asks...

5.0 out of 5 stars But whom say ye that I am?,
Roderick Blyth (Oxfordshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration (Paperback)
In the middle of CXIX, a number of studies of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ began to appear in which liberal intellectuals sought to employ historical-critical methods establish what could be known about the `real Jesus.' The use of the term `real' naturally suggested that the figure presented in scripture was `unreal' , and these books were, indeed, based on the premise that the figure of Jesus portrayed in the gospels was not, in truth, the likeness of the man, but a sylised icon varnished with superstition and dirtied with prejudice. Once the varnish and the dirt was stripped and cleaned, the true Jesus would, it was thought, shine forth. Albert Schweitzer, who was the first to point a mocking finger at liberal critics admiring themselves in the resulting mirror, pretty well put a stop to this particular trend, and sought to define Jesus by reference to the eschatological character of his actual words. More recently, some important scholars, and some less important journalists, have written works which have used evidence of the milieu of first century Palestine to try and construct a picture of Jesus as a person who would have fitted appropriately into that milieu - notwithstanding his pronounced lack of success in actually doing so. Some have even gone as far as to `edit' the Gospels, so as to strike out as `inauthentic' any statement attributed to Jesus which is, in their view, incompatible with what a Jew in first century Palestine might reasonably be thought to have made - thereby leaving a pitiful collection of more or less edifying aphorisms.
As Pope Benedict XIV points out in his Foreword to this, the first part of this, his study of Jesus of Nazareth, the trends outlined in the last paragraph have had a paradoxical effect. Far from making the figure of Jesus more real and more present, they have rendered him less so.
The curious thing is that the historical evidence for Jesus is really pretty good. If you consider the texts on which our understanding of the history of the ancient world is based, you will be struck by the fact that the accounts of contemporary eyewitnesses are actually somewhat the exception.. We know, for example, that there were numerous contemporary accounts of Alexander the Great, but none have survived. Yet few people question that the accounts written by Dio, Arrian and Quintus Curtius Rufus - centuries later - are substantially redactions of the eyewitness accounts, or that they can be substantially relied upon. It is well known that the polished `speeches' attributed to their protagonists by ancient historians are confections, partly designed to display the writer's rhetorical skills, and partly to serve as commentaries on events themselves. It is not just Thucydides' Pericles of whom it can be said that `Une oraison funèbre dit exactement ce que le mort aurait d� �tre.' So accounts of eyewitnesses rendered into prose within decades of the extraordinary events which they purport to describe and quoting utterances quite outside the conventional experience of those contemporary with them might seem to merit a lot more serious consideration than it has become common to accord them.
The real problem, of course, is with the modern mindset which finds it difficult enough to accept miracle cures, let alone bringing someone back from the dead. The idea that a man should walk on water, or that he should be endorsed by two prophets returned from the dead, or that that he should be hailed by a voice from a cloud, or that he should rise from the dead and ascend into heaven is not to be taken seriously. We know, or think we know, that such things simply do not happen, and if the y do not happen, they cannot happen - anywhere, ever: and this is what, in the end, distinguishes our attitude between Jesus Christ and Alexander of Macedon, for the latters achievements, though stupendous, were well within the scope of what we can bring ourselves to accept. It is, very simply, a question of belief, and many people, including many people who call thesmelves Christians don't accept it, despite the difficulties in adopting that course, so baldly stated by Saint Paul (1 Cor.15.12-18).
Pope Benedict xvi nevertheless invites the reader to take a long, hard look at what Jesus of Nazareth is reported to have said about himself; how what he said about himself is to be read within the context of scripture as a whole; and how what he said about himself must have struck his contemporaries. For the Pope, the matter is infused from start to finish by faith: as in the case of St.Peter, Benedict's xvi's acceptance of Jesus as the human face of God is utterly without qualification. But the Pope makes it equally clear that his faith rests on reason - that it is arguable He knows perfectly well what the arguments are; he has considered them; and he is well-equipped to deal with them. But for those who lack faith, this is a powerful statement of the case for it, and what will be fascinating about this book for the open-minded sceptic is the extraordinary weight of intellect, erudition and experience which its author applies to the matter in hand. Benedict xvi brings to his task forcefully analytic powers which have at their command a profound understanding of the Latin, the Greek, and the Hebrew texts; an acquaintance with the biblical corpus so profound that he can make synaptic connections between widely scattered verses to convincing effect; an almost equally thorough acquaintance with the Fathers, the Doctors and the Saints of the Church; and a magisterial discrimination in his assessment of modern scholarship and exegesis - whether expressed in English, German, French or Italian. What the Pope also has, and what perhaps most distinguishes him from so many of his peers, is a deep love of his subject, and a missionary zeal to communicate that love to the reader of this book. Pope Benedict is, to my mind, one of the greatest theologians ever to have occupied the chair of St. Peter, but as he makes absolutely clear, theology is nothing unless it is argued within the framework of a living faith animated by compassion and love.
The book takes its way from the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15-20 in which the Patriarch predicted that God would 'raise up up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy bretheren, like unto me; unto him ye shall listen'. For the Jews, this prophecy cannot be regarded as having been fulfilled; islam regards it as having been fulfilled in person of Mohammed. Christians regard it as fulfilled in Jeus Christ, and through a series of meditations on the Baptism, the Temptations, the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, the Parables, and the Transfiguration Pope Benedict argues through the parallels between the r�les of Jesus and Moses; closely meshed textual references between the Old Testament and the New; and the impression made on his Jewish contemporaries that Jesus was, indeed, regarded in his own time, and increasingly, as a teacher who claimed to be the human face of God. Central to the argument is a dmonstration that the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes should be read as analogous to the Torah delivered to Moses by he Lord on Mount Sinai: so Jesus substititutes for formulae graven on stone a dispensation that is to shape the human heart.
In what I found the most extraordinary passage in the book, Pope Benedict engages in a dialogue with Rabbi Jacob Neusner , the author of a study of the relationship between Jesus and Judaism (A Rabbi Talks with Jesus, McGill-Queen's University Press, Montreal, 2000). The dialogue on both sides is profoundly respectful, and even loving - but in the end what divides the two men is openly, and unequivocally stated. Both agree that Jesus claimed to be God; that it was this claim that - for brtter or worse - electrified his Jewish contemporaries; and that the acceptance of that claim is, to all intents and purposes, quite incompatible with all that Judaism means for a member of that national family - whilst rejecting that claim is, for a Christian, wholly incompatible with everything Jesus said about himself, and would make nonsense of any significant claims as to the salvific nature of his passion, death and resurrection. Never have I seen the issues argued with such honesty, clarity and compassion: if you want a real measure of the magnanimity of this Pope then the section headed `The Torah of the Messiah' (pps.99-122) is indispensible.
Whilst the argument that Jesus was indeed God; that the Old Testament is, in nearly every aspect, his prefiguration and promise; and that the New Testament is his presentation as God in Man - is at the centre of the book, there is a great deal more to it along the way. The section on the Beatitudes is a compelling presentation of what it means to live the Christian life; the Lord's Prayer, whilst used, characteristically, to describe both the nature and purposes of God, is a wonderful introduction to prayer itself- as indeed one might expect, given the circumstances in which that Prayer originated; the true meaning of 'the Kingdom' - as Jesus himself -is cogently presented; the Pope's analysis of three great Parables from Luke (the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and Dives and Lazarus) combines spiritual penetration with significant reflections on the contemporary scene; an analysis of the theology of Saint John binds together the Old and New Testament, and redefines the relatiionship between God and his People; an examination of the the ways in which Jesus referred to himself (as 'The Son', the 'Son of Man' and as 'I am') provides the reader with a profound analysis of how Jesus understoood himself, and how we are to understand him. At the same time, the Pope deals with 'the world', and the way in which it is regarded in the gospels, and particularly in the context of the Temptation in the Desert. If you have ever wondered why we live in an imperfect world; why God has not 'done more' to demonstrate his presence; why the salvation which he has brought seems unrealized in practical terms, you will find that these issues are central to the relationship between God and Man: they were dramatised continually in the Old Testament; and their resolution is the central to the culminating drama of the thrial, the passion, the crucifixion and the resurrection. You will also find in the Pope's book a shrewd evaluation of the society in which we live; its relations with good and evil; its relations with the divine; its distinguishing sins; and its corrupting effect on a `third world' which it has, itself, created.
Above all, the book is an astonishing testament to a life lived in humble self-dedication to the first and greatest of the Ten Commandments (see Deuteronomy - 6:5); It would be difficult to read the book and not conclude that the Pope is a man who 'knows what he loves, and loves what he knows'. It is a book to which I shall return again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus lives,
J. S. Pullen (cambridgeshire, england) - See all my reviews
Careful study of the Gospels helps us to establish that Jesus of Nazareth existed and to establish certain key events in Jesus life and key elements in his teaching. Many scholars who purport to write about "The Historical Jesus" then set out to perform the impossible task of knowing a person who once lived in the past and to re-construct such a person. In the introduction to this book Pope Benedict lays bare the emptiness of the result. He shows how he results of such a fruitless reconstruction always ends in contradiction. For some Jesus is an intersting prophet whose teaching lies well within the limits of comtemporary Jewish thinking and therefore his rejection and murder are inexplicable. To others He is a revolutionary expecting the end of time in which case much of teaching is contradictory to that message and must be ignored only on those grounds even if on other grounds the sayings are clearly from him. In neither case is it possible to see why a "jesus movement" then arose and flourished.
Some people recognising this then revert to a very fundamentalist, pre-critical scholarship reading of the Gospels and thus fall into the same trap of wanting to believe in a figure from the past. Benedict's book is a refreshing, positive response which is written from today's knowledge. He writes about the way what had happened in Jesus life came to be understood by those who believed in his resurrection and knew him as a present Lord who had once lived. He uses the crafts of modern scholarship in order to deepen our understanding some of the key events in Jesus historical ministry.
This is honest work that takes on board the "unhistorical" nature of some of what is written (eg the details of temptation narratives in Matthew and Luke)but draws out of that the way the Gospel writers revealed the inner meaning of the key events
It is a beautifully written and a compelling work by a fine scholar of deep faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars A homily in a book,
Dr. Bojan Tunguz (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
I have been an avid reader of many books by Cardinal Ratzinger, now pope Benedict. His approach to theological, social, and cultural issues of today is very closely aligned with my own, and in his works I find a very insightful foundation for the intellectual exploration of those issues. However, compared to most other books that he authored, this one comes across very differently. This is a much more personal and accessible account of the person and life of Jesus of Nazareth. Scholarly understanding is still there, but it is somewhat pushed to the background and given way to the more immediate access to the founder of Christian faith. In the light of that, it is perhaps best to understand this book as an extended homily. One of the main themes of this homily is a reaffirmation of orthodox understanding of Jesus Christ. There is a whole cottage industry of books that try to undermine this view of Jesus, and the pope would have none of it.
This book was started before Benedict became the pope, and he continued the work on it during the first two years of his pontificate. It is inspiring and admirable to see such a sharpness of mind in an octogenarian. The book, however, has been without the inclusion of the passion and infancy narratives. The pope has expressed a hope to be able to finish those parts as the time permits. We can all hope that God gives him strength and good health in the years to come, so we can be enriched for yet another spiritual gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Written,
Mezzofanti Due (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a beautifully written book, accessible to the non-theologian yet requiring some solid concentration to take fully on board the theology. It has proved to me beyond doubt that Pope Benedict is an excellent communicator, his thoughts are lucid and he makes great effort to explain through numerous reference works the writings of the Church Fathers and other theologians through the ages on the subject of just who was Jesus of Nazareth. The particular highlights for me were the chapters on "The Lord's Prayer" and "The Message of the Parables", they were truly sublime.
I concur fully with an earlier reviewer who says that this book is one to be read and re-read again.

3.0 out of 5 stars not for the light reader,
Dr John N Sutherland (Skelmorlie, Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
Indeed, not for any but the most serious reader. I gave this 3 stars only because I expected this to be a book that spoke clearly to the person with a strong interest in the life of Jesus Christ and hoped the writer would elucidate His life. But, I have to say, this is very thick stuff to wade through. Perhaps it is a clumsy translation, or perhaps the author is just too much of an academic used to negotiating truths with other deeply in-the-know academics in his field.
I must admit, at times light shines through and you see Pope Benedict as a true follower of Christ who knows The LORD Jesus as his personal saviour. This is not a book about the life of Jesus Christ in the way that another religious writer might write about the life of Mohammad, Moses or the Buddha. It is a book written by someone who has an intimate, living, personal relationship with the living Christ. As such it is so hopeful for this great church he leads.
But, perhaps I lack quiet times of enough intensity to sit down and make the most of this book. I am quite a serious reader, but this one has proven just a bit too hard for me to wade through, I confess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus of Nazareth,
Harry R. Bendelow (Pembroke Dock, Wales (UK) United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration (Paperback)
Jesus of Nazareth by Joseph Ratzinger. One of the best books I have ever read. It clearly demonstrates that the Jesus of the synoptic gospels and the Jesus of the John gospel are one and the same. Pope Benedict shows that the claim to divinity is as overwhelming in the synoptics as in the John gospel. I looked again at the book and on one of the pages I had written in pencil `more wows per square inch than anything I have ever read'. My opinion has not changed since I wrote that. Read the last paragraph on page 44.
I am a protestant by birth but every time I think of Pope Benedict I smile.
5.0 out of 5 stars A MAJOR THEOLOGICAL EVENT: "JESUS OF NAZARETH" BY POPE BENEDICT XVI,
RBSProds "rbsprods" (Deep in the heart of Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration (Paperback)
Five INSPIRATIONAL Stars! During his time as Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI brought decades of scholarly examinations of and meditations on Jesus Christ to fruition with this incredible book. Under his pen, the Catholic faith opens like a flower which can be clearly understood by any Christian. This book is not written from the standpoint of 'Papal Infallibility' or in concert with "the magisterium", but is "an expression of my personal search for the face of the Lord", said the Pope.
This is volume one, with the Pope giving a detailed examination of the periods from the Baptism of the Lord to Peter's confession of faith and the Transfiguration: His public ministry. At last, we have Jesus Christ as the Pope sees Him and explains Him to us! What a wonderful gift to the world from the new Pontiff ! And you may encounter some fascinating insights and lower order revelations herein that you may never have heard before. This book shows the pontiff not as someone closed off in his own world as sometimes rumored, but a person who is scripturally grounded, widely-read, intellectually astute and agile. He quotes the Bible continuously, uses tradition, as well as other theological sources and authors. Working with both the historical Jesus, as well as the biblical Jesus, the Pope informs us that we can't have one viewpoint of Jesus without the other and the historical Jesus is very crucial to the faith, actually underpining our faith. Without the historical viewpoint, he says, the faith would become something other than what we have.
The Pope's initial consideration of the figure of Jesus begins with a discussion of Moses and the limitations of his very close relationship with God. Then he gets right to the main point: Jesus as the Son "lives before the face of God" and "in the most intimate unity with the Father". And, Benedict says, we who walk with Jesus are in communion with God the Father because of it. That is the capstone of everything a believer needs as a jumping off point to becoming a believer of Christ. The rest, from the genealogical breakdown of the "three groups of fourteen generations", the true meaning and place of Israel for the rest of us believers, the emergence of the Trinitarian God, 'refuting' the Baptism event as an "evocational experience" where Jesus suddenly realizes who He is, the true meaning of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus, why He was tempted, the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord's Prayer, the Synoptic Gospels and John's Gospel, are all beautifully examined and explained. And it does not end as a book drawing summary conclusions, but as a volume, with more to come. This is an essential book for all Catholics and a great resource for all who believe in Jesus. It's a wonderful read by a man who was the Church's leading theologian before he became Pope. My Highest Recommendation! Five EXCELLENT Stars!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Christ centred,
Mr. P. G. Mccarthy (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration (Paperback)
Here we have the pope's book on Jesus of Nazareth. It is quite brilliant I think. He strikes a nice balance between the scholarly and pastoral as befitting his office, and seems to have both a strong understanding of his subject as well as some fascinating and probably important insights. He goes off at tangents and that makes the book a little precarious; but the book reveals the wisdom of age. Several chapters in and it is clear that Ratzinger has a different agenda to many other writers on Jesus. He is wise I think to avoid modernising trends and quests for the historical Jesus. Dominic Crossan, in contrast, is an iconoclast as is really punching the air in the dark, really trying to make Jesus so human as to be only of meagre interest. Tom Wright is critical of this but is utilising similar tools. Ratzinger, on the other hand, is a pastor and this may account for his high Christology. This involves a slight leap of faith but is otherwise refreshing really (and Ratzinger gives plenty of compelling reasons for taking the position he does). But this is not simply the `Christ of faith', it is Christ's work and words as revealed in the Gospels understood in a particular way. He pretty much resolves the tension between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith by arguing that Jesus' sources needn't be sought in ways other than his closeness to the Father (this is explained rather cleverly by showing Jesus to be the prophet to come spoken of by Moses; the prophet who sees not God's back, but his face). And here again we are involved in the leap-of-faith. Some of the teachings of Jesus are likely to yield to scholarship; there will be sayings, perhaps, that others have used. But there is an overall coherence that will not resemble the messages of other sages. The required leap therefore is not a huge one.
The downside to Ratzinger's approach might be that we don't feel we are there in the pages of a history book, hearing the sounds, smelling the smells, so to speak (Crossan does a lot of this); rather we will feel that there is a Theology at work in this life, a life with quiet yet cosmic significance for those that can accept it.
His exposition of the Beatitudes is very moving. I've always found them a little unintelligible, but he just opens them up. I feel like Keats reading Chapman's Homer: `Then felt I like some watcher of the skies...'. His message is challenging and he emphasises the believer's utter reliance on God through Christ. I have never seen it expressed so clearly. We would need to be very careful when we accuse Catholicism of `salvation by works' as that is a long way off what is happening in Ratzinger's book. He strikes me as deeply evangelical but with a rich and thought through spirituality.
4.0 out of 5 stars 1st excellent elaboration on Jesus in a series of 3 by Pope Benedict,
This review is from: Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration (Paperback)
First there was "Crossing the thresshold of hope" by Pope John Paul II. Now there are already 2 volumes in a series of 3 by Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, on the central key teachings of the church. This first volume, "Jesus of Nazareth", describing Jesus from His Baptism to the Transfiguration, is just marvelous. Dogmatic, theological, yet at the same time pastoral and easily accessible, and full of love for the Saviour. The book achieves just what it's author had in mind: in searching though Biblical teachings, one gets drawn into his or her own personal search in order to know Christ, to know more about Jesus, to appreciate Him more and more for the salvation He gave us, and thus becoming more and more His own, and just live in awe in all the encounters to the central figure of the Christian faith.
Though the English translation is good, one notices that the book was not originally written in English, and one may long to get to know the books on Jesus of Nazareth in it's original non-translated version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful without being wordy...,
Mr. A. Boycott "Alan" (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
This work is insightful without being wordy or indeed requiring its reader to be an academic. There are of course the usual theological challenges here and there that require prayer and a little bit more effort from the reader, but this effort brings rewards.
The prose is very devotional and the language is exquisite, which is surprising since this is an American English translation. Nevertheless buy it, read and re-read it, it is worth the endeavour and good value for money.

My wife and I did the Mangroves tour and the Whale's Tail Bay snorkeling tour on our honeymoon in Dominical and, man did we have a great time. Snorkeling in the Pacific on Christmas morning is something we will never forget. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local ecology and history. Not to mention a fresh fruit...
A group of 5 of us went out for the kayak mangroves tour. Within minutes of launching, we saw a nice sized crocodiles, lots of birds, sloths, crabs and raccoons.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, Rachel who helped us books was also very accommodating!
I would recommend Pineapple Tours to anyone!
Very friendly. They supplied transportation from Dominical to the Whale's Tail.
Tip: If you are kayaking or SUP boarding on the ocean, I would suggest thin, long sleeve cotton shirts. The sun is brutal and sun screen doesn't last.
Thank you for your advice about the sun on the Whale's Tail tour. Yes, this tour is a kayak and snorkel tour, on the ocean, in the sun, 9 degrees from the equator. It is a hot one! We offer hats and sunscreen for everyone (only your husband took us up on the offer of the hat). A long sleeve...
Pineapple tours is a wonderful company. Michael was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable. The owner Rachel was willing to change our tour last minute and even gave us the difference in cost from the two tours. Great trip!
We did the ocean caves kayak tour, and it could not have been a more exciting, memorable experience! Rachel (I assume she is the the owner or manager...she was the person we scheduled with), Michael (our guide/kayak instructor), and Danaer (the driver; he also set up a beautiful table of fresh fruit for us on the beach when we returned...
Thank you SO much for the extremely kind words! It was a pleasure to take you out kayaking! We hope to see you again in this area soon!
Rachel was so helpful! Very professional! Michael was the best tour guide Ever!!!!!! We will use them again when in the Area! Don't hesitate to use this tour company! Great people!
Thank you for showing us your support and leaving us a 5 star review! We really appreciate it!
Rachel, Nego, Michael and crew were excellent! The Mangrove tour in kayaks was relaxing and Michael was an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide! We stopped to listen to the birds, watched the monkeys and ate wild uvitas (grapes). The fruit served after the tour was delicious! On the drive back to town they stopped 3 times to point out Sloths...
My wife Laurie and I had a kayak tour of the Hatillo Mangroves in Domincal province, Costa Rica--Victor led the tour and Nego and Rachel at Pineapple Tours were very helpful. It was much appreciated that the whole tour was English-speaking (as our Costa Rican Spanish is not so good!) and it turned out to be a private tour for...
Wonderful kayak tour of mangroves. Victor was a pleasant and knowledgable guide. We were lucky to see lots of birds and monkeys! Easy paddling and lots of shade.
Very nice and well-run tour through a mangrove swamp, though we didn't see as much wildlife as I would have liked.

A garden across the Thames? New green bridge from Olympic Cauldron designer Thomas Heatherwick
Related Articles
Published: 13 June 2013
The designer behind the stunning Olympic cauldron is planning a giant £60 million floating garden to bridge the Thames.
Thomas Heatherwick's design would be the first new crossing since the Millennium Bridge opened to the public in 2002 and would create a new route from Covent Garden to the South Bank.
It is being developed after Mr Heatherwick won a Transport for London tender for ideas to improve pedestrian access across the river.
But his imaginative approach also chimed with Mayor Boris Johnson's ambition to create "an iconic piece of green infrastructure" on the model of the High Line, an aerial park planted on a former railway track in New York.
Mr Heatherwick said: "The idea is simple - to connect north and south London with a garden."
And he paid tribute to the inspiration of campaigner Joanna Lumley who had been championing the idea of a Garden Bridge complete with grasses, trees, wild flowers and plants, for years.
She said she thought it would be "sensational every way - a place with no noise or traffic where the only sounds will be birdsong and bees buzzing and the wind in the trees and, below, the steady rush of water".
Ms Lumley added: "It will be the slowest way to cross the river, as people will dawdle and lean on parapets and stare at the great cityscapes all around, but it will also be a safe and swift way for the weary commuter. I believe it will bring to Londoners and visitors alike peace and beauty and magic."
Mr Heatherwick is now working with engineering giants Arup to develop the plans with an aim of submitting them for planning permission in spring next year. It would make 2016 the earliest possible opening date.
Mayoral advisers believe it would bring to life the comparatively quiet stretches of waterfront around Temple and immediately east of the Southbank Centre.
By encouraging pedestrians onto the new walkway, it would also make possible better cycle routes on Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.
But the go-ahead is dependent on Mr Heatherwick raising the cash from private sponsors because the Greater London Authority will not invest public money.
Isabel Dedring, the deputy mayor for transport, said it fulfilled the Mayor's aim of having more river crossings and creating a landmark attraction.
"The mayor has been keen to find an iconic piece of green infrastructure that can symbolise London as a high quality of life place to live," she said.
"It is a great example of a project where in our view there doesn't need to be a major public contribution. But if private sector funding isn't forthcoming then the project isn't going to be able to go ahead."
Michele Dix, of Transport for London which is helping steer the plans through planning, said: "The bridge will help support economic activity whilst providing commuters arriving at Waterloo with alternative options to cross the river."
The High Line was also the model of an innovative "greenway" that this week won a competition to reduce flooding and link forgotten parks and railway arches on the Albert Embankment.

Review quote
If you struggle with getting ideas out of your head onto paper and into finished art project, I believe this book will help you. It shows you basic processes that are easy to follow, to get ideas onto paper and then to take those ideas onwards to produce a piece of finished work. There are plenty of ideas for developing work. A number of artists are showcased in this book, all exploring textiles in their own way. There is a small section on the rudimentary basics of colour. Part two gives some ideas and inspiration for choosing a subject with which to work. As there are no projects to follow, I found this section a little unfulfilling. However, I still think it is worth getting hold of this book as it might well trigger your own thought processes and show you how to get started. 128pages of colour, with great production form the Batsford team. http://www.karenplatt.co.uk
