I attended a Bat Mitzvah recently where the Cantor spoke about peace.
"Peace," he proclaimed, "is desired by all people, in all nations. Problems arise not because we don't want peace, but because we each define it according to personal, cultural, religious, or other differences." Same word. Contrasting meanings.
Instead of subjective notions of peace, Cantor Maseng offered a universal concept: "True peace," he said, "is about wholeness, and wholeness is only possible when we bring all our diversity, all our differences together."
In other words, it's easy to be at peace with those who agree with us; true peace is about connecting with those who don't.
What does world peace have to do with our relationships and co-parenting? When I work with couples, I always mention the importance of mutual understanding up front:
Mutual understanding is a major ingredient in relationship satisfaction and successful co-parenting. Understanding isn't the same as agreeing; instead, it's about getting curious about our differences, accepting them and working with, not against, them.
In other words, relationship happiness depends on world peace at a micro-level. Understanding others' differences can be difficult. Many, if not most, of us grew up in a family, community, country and/or world where differences are grounds for intolerance and conflict, not compassion and cooperation.
Meaning, while we might say we want relationship peace, we often define it as sameness. Then, we waste precious time failing to get others to be like us.
Despite the now-commonplace acceptance of the gender differences* claimed by John Gray almost 20 years ago—you know, Men are from Mars and women are from Venus—most lesbians and gay men either don't buy into (or fall into) those assumptions. Truth is, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, we're all from different planets.
Understanding our partners is, then, less about embracing gender differences and more about getting curious about their unique differences from us. Doing so truly allows us to "keep the peace" in our relationships, and honor the sense of wholeness noted earlier:
Our relationships can be truly whole—i.e., peaceful, fulfilling and satisfying—not because we're the same as our spouses, or always agree, but because, together, we embrace, respect, and work productively with and through our differences.
There's no simple way to understand our spouses, but there are steps we can take to begin to do so. Marita Fridjhon and Faith Fuller, founders of the Center for Right Relationship, have developed a great technique to increase mutual understanding, which is called: Lands Work.
Lands Work starts from the assumption that every individual is like a nation unto him or herself, with its own cultural practices, cuisine, communication style, justice system, import and export policies, etc. While Lands Work doesn't translate well to the written page, the starting point for the exercise does:
Imagine you're an ideal tourist, guided by curiosity, openness, exploration and a suspension of judgment. Now, imagine you're visiting your spouse's land as this ideal tourist, eager to learn more about their reality, their priorities, and what's important to them about what they believe, how they act, parent, etc.
If we can truly stay curious with and about our spouses, if we can suspend judgment, we can also ramp up our understanding and compassion for them. In turn, we can work with our differences, even if we don't agree with those differences. Genuine and sustainable compromises emerge out of mutual understanding, not agreement.
One of relationship expert Harville Hendrix's tools for increasing mutual understanding is what he calls "The Imago Dialogue", which includes 3 steps:
(1) Mirroring: When you have something important to say to your spouse always use "I" to express it. Then, ask your spouse to paraphrase what you've said and then ask you: "Did I get that right?" Repeat these steps until s/he does get it right. To ground this, Hendrix suggests adding: Is there more? Or: Tell me more. I'd include: Tell me what's important to you about this?
(2) Validation: Once you've got mirroring down, add comments that indicate that what your spouse has expressed makes sense to you, given their logic or priorities or concerns. As Hendrix notes, the idea is to "affirm the internal logic of each other's remarks." Here, it's important to distinguish agreeing from understanding someone else's logic; you can understand without agreeing.
(3) Empathy: Hendrix's final step involves acknowledging the feelings we know, or imagine, are behind our spouses' remarks. This goes something like: "Given that you think I've done such-and-such (or that such-and-such has happened), I'd imagine you're feeling x,y,z. Is that true?" If you're wrong, ask: "Then what are you feeling?" And offer empathy for those feelings.
It isn't easy to retrain ourselves to dialogue in the way Hendrix suggests and, in truth, even if we can learn to master the first step, Mirroring, we'll be ahead of the curve in our communication tools and our ability to begin to understand our differences.
If we feel committed to our relationships and to co-parenting effectively, we'd benefit from grabbing our passports (or mirrors) and traveling into our spouses' experiences. Doing so doesn't guarantee we'll always end up feeling peaceful or with 50-50 compromises, but it does mean that whatever decisions or actions we make together include both our experiences and respect our differences.

Throughout the 2018, Canada has experienced increases in immigration and youth employment, which, along with an aging population, saw more demand in the rental housing markets. As a result to the outpaced growth and limited supply, the overall vacancy rates for rental apartments fell to 2.4%.
As highlighted in the 2018 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Rental Market Report (RMR), the demand outpaced the supply for purpose-built rental apartment units.

Extremists Abduct Daughter of Church Contractor in Egypt
Muslim extremists on Saturday abducted the daughter of a church building contractor who is involved in the controversial building of a church in northern Egypt, reports a Coptic rights organization.
Nesma Sarwat, 18, the daughter of the building contractor for the controversial St. Mary and St. Michael church in Talbiya, within Egypt's third largest city of Giza, was kidnapped in her family home yesterday, according to the Assyrian International News Agency.
Citing information reported by advocacy group Free Coptic Voice, the agency reported that extremists broke into the family's home to kidnap Sarwat and then wrote threats on the wall, including: "Islam is the solution," "the church has to be demolished," and the names of the remaining family members.
Security forces were called to the home after the home invasion and abduction incident, AINA reported. Blood was reportedly found on the stairs and in the apartment.
In Egypt, it is illegal to build or even repair church buildings without a special permit from the government. Construction of a new church building requires a presidential permit and security clearance, while repairs on an existing building require permission from the local governor and security force.
But a confusing bureaucratic process means application for repairs and construction could take years before the applicant receives an answer. Most of the time, the response is "No." Even when Copts receive permission from government officials to build or repair a church, such permits are sometimes not recognized by local security officials.
The rule that requires a license to build or rebuild churches is one of the biggest complaints Egyptian Christians have against the government, which is accused of showing favoritism toward Muslims. Followers of Islam can build or repair mosques freely without having to obtain permits.
Last November, St. Mary and St. Michael church made headlines when reportedly hundreds of security forces and Christians clashed over the unfinished church building. Coptic Christians were protesting the closure of their church.
The conflict resulted in hundreds of injuries, the arrest of 176 Copts, and the death of three Egyptian Christians, according to AINA. Security forces had used tear gas and live ammunition against the Coptic protesters in the Nov. 24 confrontation.
"The Governor of Giza gave instructions to modify the services building to a church building, but a decision by the Chief of the District to halt construction and remove the irregularities angered the people, who congregated next to the building, fearing that the district authorities would cause damage to it, triggered the events and the clashes," the Church Diocese of Giza had explained after the conflict.
During the recent anti-government protests, members of St. Mary and St. Michael church held vigils at the church building to guard it. The church had been closed since Nov. 24. In the beginning, no security guards interfered, but on Feb. 6 some security guards returned and expelled the priest and church members who were holding prayer meetings inside for their country during the uprising.
The abduction of the daughter of the church building contractor is the latest incident against the existence and construction of St. Mary and St. Michael church.
There are about 2,000 churches in Egypt, which make up about two percent of all houses of worship in the country. Christians, however, are popularly said to make up eight to 12 percent of Egypt's population. The two figures show the disproportionate number of houses of worship to Christian believers in Egypt.

Some parents start saving for college before their child is born. But let's face it — that's not most of us. Even if you have a high schooler and haven't planned ahead, there are ways to survive sticker shock and pay Junior's college bill.
For the 2010-2011 academic year, the average cost of tuition plus fees, room, and board was $28,130 for a public school and $36,993 for a private one. Ouch. The good news? Few have to pay the full bill. Scholarships and grants — otherwise known as "free money" — come from many sources. And, while you might save at state or community colleges, you can find deals at top private schools.
"Sometimes the schools that are the most expensive are also the most generous," says Rob Franek of "The Princeton Review," which publishes America's Best Value Colleges. However, despite the relief free money and last-minute loans provide, you still need to save as your children grow. Which strategies suit you best depends on how old your kids are.
Infant/Preschool: Long-term compounding of investments is generally your best strategy. Put money aside monthly through automatic payroll deductions. It's too easy to spend savings when your child's freshman year seems far off. And think about early contributions to the popular college savings plans described below. Any baby gifts of cash you receive could go right into these accounts.
Kindergarten/Elementary: Consider a Coverdell educational savings account — formerly known as an Education IRA — is a good long-term choice since contributions and earnings in the account need years to accrue.The annual maximum contribution is $2,000 per beneficiary, and earnings and withdrawals are tax free for qualified educational expenses. In addition to paying for college, funds can also go toward elementary, secondary, and post-secondary school costs — a plus for parents of younger kids.
The IRS imposes household income limitations of $190,000 - $220,000 for couples filing joint tax returns. With children this age, you may have heard about Prepaid Tuition Plans. They allow you to buy future in-state public tuition credits at today's rates.
But buyer beware: Some financial planners view these as risky. Why? They may cause you and your kids to feel locked in to attending certain schools as some plans carry substantial penalties when used toward private or out-of-state institutions.
5th Grade through Middle School: At this age, kids can contribute part of their baby-sitting or newspaper route money to a tuition savings account. College still feels far off, but you can play catch-up with a 529 college savings plan, offered in every state. You get tax-deferred earnings and tax-free distributions for qualified higher-education expenses. Plus, 529 contributions are often deductible from state income tax. Since the plans offer higher contribution limits than Coverdells, more than $300,000 for some, you can start saving with a 529 later in the game, or get way ahead if you choose this option when kids are younger.
High School: College is just around the corner. Time to check out financial aid opportunities. For tax reasons, parents have often opened savings accounts in their kids' names.
But, Ginny Hazen, director of financial aid for Dartmouth College, points out that federally funded scholarships are hard to come by. Try to reduce college cost with grants. Ask school guidance counselors about sometimes hard-to-find local grants. To learn about federal grants and aid programs, visit studentaid.ed.gov.
College-Bound: Once you know where your child's been accepted and what the aid offers are, compare them and ask for more, says Alex Weiner of the consulting firm Collegewise and the website getcollegewise.com. "I would say, 'My daughter really wants to go to your school, but XYZ offered us a better package.' Give them the details," he says.
"The worst the administrators can say is 'no,' but often they will match the offer or meet you partway."
You may want to let them know about extenuating circumstances, such as unpaid medical bills, legal or business debts, and prior educational expenses. If you're still short of funds after your savings and aid package, turn to loans.
Federal Stafford loans and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students currently have low, capped variable rates. But be aware that these rates are adjusted — up or down — on July 1 every year.
A third federal program, Perkins Loans, is for the most financially needy students. When borrowing from any institution, look for the lowest possible rate.
Freshman Year: Don't hesitate to ask Junior to step up. While some parents worry that working during college will eat into study time, results from a poll conducted by Robin Raskin, author of "Parents' Guide to College Life," suggests it doesn't seem to hurt grades.
Parents and students should decide together how those proceeds should be used. The college deans surveyed, however, recommend not working the first term of freshman year and limiting work hours to 15 per week.
What's more, summer jobs bring in cash that can go toward books or room and board.
A Lesson in LoansFinance Columnist Liz Pulliam Weston recommends loan payments should not exceed 10 percent of the expected monthly gross income in the student's field — a good guideline once your child declares a major.
By that rule, an education major that lands a teaching job paying $30,000 per year has a monthly gross income of $2,500 and should generally keep maximum student loan payments around $250 a month.
How much to borrow? While student loans are a low-cost way to fund tuition and ensure your children do their part, they can saddle them with so much debt that they are mortgaging their future. If applying for federal aid, you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It's easiest to complete the form online at fafsa.ed.gov.
Give and TakeA USAA-sponsored 2005 study, "Freshman Finance 101," found that 79 percent of college-bound freshmen had not received any budgeting or financial advice from their parents or anyone else. And once students get there, most schools make it easy to run up bills with swipe-and-go systems tied to student IDs or prepaid spending cards. The cashless campus is convenient, but experts say that never having to pay cash makes students much worse at budgeting. Robin Raskin, author of "Parents' Guide to College Life" and mother of three, put her son on a budget. "We finally got smart, but he has a thousand reasons why he always runs out of money," she says. "You have to decide whether to stick to your guns. It can be really hard when they are starving." Her research has shown that many students unknowingly spend a fortune on high-priced coffees and fruit smoothies, since they never see the bills.
Payment MethodsGive them some credit — or should you?
"Kids are besieged with special credit card offers on campus," warns college parenting expert Robin Raskin. "Some students end up with 10 cards all maxed out. About 50 percent of incoming freshman have a credit card; 96 percent of graduating seniors have at least one."
A family card lets parents see expenses and makes sure bills are paid on time.
But a student's own card can help him or her build a good — or bad — credit history. If your child goes solo, get a card with a preset low limit, help set payment schedules, and have a frank discussion about debt and interest rates.
Crunching NumbersUse an online calculator, like the one at usaa.com, to figure future college costs based on your child's age.

The Smithfield Nuisance (Stench) Verdict: $50 million!
As anyone who has ever been within sniffing distance of an industrial pig farm can tell you, the stench is pervasive, gets into your clothes, and seems impossible to avoid or wash out. It seems incomprehensible that pig producers could be permitted to cause such odors and impose the stench on neighbors.
When I was on the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, the primary finding of our investigations was this: Laws existed to stop pollution but nobody enforced them. But now neighbors of a North Carolina hog farm sued Smithfield—and won!
As Politico explained
The jury agreed with the 10 plaintiffs in the civil case, who contended that a contractor to Smithfield Foods created a situation where residents could no longer enjoy their property because of noxious smells. Waste from the hogs is stored in open-air lagoons and sprayed onto fields as fertilizer. Neighbors said manure particles traveled to their property located a few hundred feet from the farm, coating their homes, clothing and cars.
The judges instructions to the jury were simple.
The first question to the jury was whether Murphy-Brown had ?substantially and unreasonably? inte...

[Verse 1: Fabolous]
Yeah, yeah
These n*ggas losing their minds, you find that there's no reward
They say they already home, it's really clear they abroad
They sound like they boxed in, it's not just where they record
There's a cost to be a boss they can't clearly afford
Swear to the Lord, there's guns like a audience
You put on a show, my .40 clearly applauds
Sitting fifth row, I might appear to be bored
Plotting on a Kanye, but screaming, "Where's my award?"
Balling out of control, never won an ESPY
'Bout to buy a black ghost and name that sh*t SP
Flow outta this world, I'm coming for my Moon Man
You n*ggas slide back like that walking on the moon dance
No glitter glean, handgun with a beam
Have some boys follow you, Street Fam, Twitter team
Like you could f*ck with me, oh did it seem?
Dr. King and Def Jam ain't the only ones with a dream
I'm a grown ass man, this kid a teen
You're a spoof of me like if hip hop did a Scream
Audi coupe looking good so I went and copped it
Got that TT popping like a trending topic
My ride's matte black, my pride is that jacked
It might get ya dog shot, even a cat smacked
Anyway though, styles don't apply to me
Jeff Goldblum couldn't be more fly than me
Shorty say, "Right after the suck, f*ck, poof"
You hit it on the head girl, duck duck goose
You shoulda got the message that I chuck up deuce
Break 'em off and leave it, you seen my f*cked up tooth
It's f*ck a b*tch, it's more fish in the aquarium
I rarely hear no, like when n*ggas ask you to marry them
There's no lights in the place you buy your jewelry from
Funeral Fab, I'm just here to bury them
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
Reporting live from the Beacon, booth tired from the beating
Had foreplay all day, prepping the beat and the mic for a threesome
With my vocal bi-coastal, speeding 'til the ride's totaled
Mr. Wi-Fi, out a franchise go to magic, standby local's
Watch the track bust once I show my di*k size to the Pro-Tools
I teach you how to have models screaming, "Get behind me"
E-pills and Maybachs ain't gon' matter if your tip is tiny
Never mind me, we could get knee deep in the beef
Seek me with the heat but you'll need more to keep me on a leash
Here's a CC for the peeps that wanna see me in the streets
Invest in Rockports and be easy on your feet
Give a few hammers, a few semi's and a few snubs
To a few Crips, couple vampires and true Bloods
Gambling in casinos, have a honey handing me my c-notes
The modern day Gambino, I'm careful every step I take
You the n*gga walk up in a shootout with some pepper spray
That'd be the last mistake you ever made
Me, I chop his head off from a rooftop
And race it downstairs just to see if I can catch his fade
Like groceries when I'm shooting at fags
Make sure the bread's separated and put the fruits in a bag
Withstand the hatred, dudes is fallin off doin all they can to save it
But everybody's run stops, ask Brandon Jacobs
What y'all call swag to me is all faggotry
Fours want blast at me, that'd equal more casualties
Abort the strategy or get attacked with that Duracell
They put in your back, now that's assault and battery
You can keep the b*tching to yourself
There's beams on every burner, these lasers, a petition wouldn't help
What good is having shooters if they the type that miss?
Where I'm from, better be careful where you drive that whip
n*ggas put they life at risk for pies they flip
In my town, Ben Affleck wouldn't try that sh*t
And if he did he'd get turned around, burnt down
Tell the new jacks it'll be a while 'fore they eligible to earn the crown
[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]
Acid out the baggie, this is more than dope, flawless flow
f*cking off a sign every horoscope done wore my robes
Strapping up the corner cold, critical
Unquestioned, my opponents know
I shoot like Kapono, watch me own the show
Comatose, toasted, getting money while I roam the coast
Stones and boats, mansion homes and hoes
I deserve 'em both, overdose
Time to earn my votes, watch me turn the volts
Voltage through a meter, this electric chair, danger
Yeah, I see ya, now make way 'fore it turn to diarrhea
Hear a microphone will give you 3 of everything I wear yeah
Models by the pair, swear, bottles, private Lear, steer
Style that's outta here, rare, thousands by the chair, square
Sleep with me, you came here, war with me is scary
Get beat silly trying to lamp here, better bring your fury heat
I got a drop damp here, n*ggas try me barely
No one breathes, I need an ant's ear, pressure's necessary
Got my mind on the cheddar, kill my haters together
Bury 'em in abundance and starve their families stomach's
Paper come in my thumbage, brand new fifties and hundreds
On point, just like the drum is, I'm warning them baby mothers
Got the hunger of a broke rapper
Kill you while I'm rolling up then smoke after
Catch you at your show, snatch ya, empty out the dough faster
Bentley off the scene, magnum Mo' splasher, four packer
Southside n*gga spitting coke at ya!
[Verse 4: Royce da 5'9"]
Nickel! This is for the fronters and the naysayers
I'm about to scare away the drummers and the bass players
They say I'm out of my league on this one, so when I get done
I want you to cut your f*ckin' ears off and Twitpic 'em!
Lord, I want you to leave this vicinity
You gon' be around here 'bout long as Justin Bieber's virginity
This is Jesus identity, mixed with weed, Hennessy, Kennedy, King
Mixed with a kill or be killed killer regime, illest you seen, switch
Y'all write all that hard sh*t then you fall right off, it's horrible
My oracle is all I offer, so before I borrow your
'Won't be here tomorrow' flow, sorry, I will prob'y
Adiós my body wit' somebody toast, this sh*t just practice
Sickest rapping Baptist, kill your pastor
Steal your Chapstick, after that make you kiss a cactus
Then take your ho, make the ho give the whole clique fellatio
Everyone, that wasn't the whole entourage on HBO
Then after that, I tell her, "I can't do much with you, shawty!
I just found out I could fly to Dubai and hire Buffie the Body!"
Don't call us if the b*tches ain't flawless
If they are then we can hang like Aretha Franklin bra-less
The drunk me can box like a sober you
The sober me be more nervous than Waka Flocka in the voting booth
We beef like being deep and dumping K's
You beef like Lady Gaga and her stylist
Y'all get together to look good in front of a bunch of gays
My feng shui is a pump in the desert
You'll come up shorter than an Asian jumping out of a trunk in the desert
While my wolfpack looks for strippers and cocaine
n*ggas snitching, it's a shame, we call 'em male tattlers
Fiends touching they noses more than URL battlers
It's hard to spit saliva when you spit fire, so I'll just
Pour sugar in your gas tank, put a banana in your tailpipe
Ah ha, so the car can fit the driver

Oil price steady near $103 as markets await Fed minutes, news on production and supplies
BANGKOK – Oil was becalmed near $103 a barrel Tuesday as traders waited for possibly market moving news on U.S. crude supplies, OPEC production and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance.
Benchmark crude for August delivery was up 2 cents at $103.16 a barrel at midafternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract slipped 8 cents to $103.14 a barrel on Monday in New York.
Oil was pushed higher last week by worries turmoil in Egypt could disrupt shipments through the Suez Canal and a report showing robust job growth in the U.S. in June.
Later this week, the Energy Department releases its weekly report on supplies of crude oil and petroleum products, the U.S. Federal Reserve releases minutes of its recent policy meeting and OPEC issues its monthly update on the oil market.
A large decline in U.S. supplies, or signs that OPEC decreased output last month could boost prices, analysts say. Additional insight into the Fed's thinking on when it should begin winding down bond purchases that have supported the U.S. economic recovery should also influence trading.
Brent crude, which is used to set prices for oil used by many U.S. refineries, was down 15 cents at $107.28 on the ICE exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline was down 0.2 cent at $2.881 a gallon.
— Natural gas fell 0.7 cent to $3.734 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil fell 0.1 cent to $2.979 per gallon.

*(Or rather, are declared as often):
Amidst a State of Dependence, A New Philippine Cinema is Born.
The term independent once meant something in Philippine Cinema. It was reserved for such luminaries as Rox Lee (the great animator), Raymond Red (the great short filmmaker), and in recent years, Lav Diaz (the great stubborn filmmaker); artists who had earned their stripes and garnered accolades, but refused to sell out or cater to commercial demands, preferring to maintain control over their work than to cash in and see their name in lights. Today, independent, indie, or any of its many synonyms has become a hot buzzword in the Philippines. Young filmmakers, students, festivals, even commercial studios are beginning to use it, defiling the purity that was once associated with it. Questions arise: what is independence for when the content of your work is the same as commercial trash? What is independence for when your film is made to serve as your calling card to court the industry? What does independence mean when you're dependent on seed money given by broadcasting companies owned by the wealthiest men in the country to make your film (Cinemalaya and Cinema One Originals) [1]? What does independence mean when you are making low-budget exploitation DV features for a studio on the decline (Viva Films, et al.)?
The answer:
Not much.
When parties from the commercial industry, from the mainstream or establishment, begin to infiltrate and claim the underground for themselves, what is left for the true independent filmmaker to do? Brakhage put it best:
"So the money vendors have begun it again. To the catacombs then, or rather plant this seed deeper in the underground beyond false nourishing of sewage waters. Let it draw nourishment from hidden uprising springs channeled by gods. . . . forget ideology, for film unborn as it is has no language and speaks like an aborigine—monotonous rhetoric. . . . Abandon aesthetics. . . . Negate techniques, for film, like America, has not been discovered yet, and mechanization, in the deepest possible sense of the word, traps both beyond measuring even chances. . . . Let film be. It is something . . . becoming."
While pondering this piece, I was listening to a performance of Allen Ginsberg reading "Howl", recorded sometime later in his life at a university. His reading of his landmark work was both riveting and sleep-inducing; it lacked the force of one in his prime and I droned in and out of consciousness over the course of its duration, but it still left me charged with an energy, and inspired by the passion contained in his poetry and his reading of it. Watching Martin's Maicling Pelicula imparts the same feeling: his control over pace, narrative momentum and actors' performances reveal one not in his prime, not in full control of his aesthetic power. Like listening to that Ginsberg recording, it can at times be sleep-inducing. But the power contained in the poetry of his images, of the feeling imparted by those moments that you receive it at full consciousness speak—and they speak with such love: for country, for countrymen, for history, that one cannot help but be moved, be inspired. The difference between the Ginsberg that read "Howl" and the Martin that made Maicling Pelicula? Ginsberg was past the time of his ultimate power, and control, past his prime at the time of the reading; Martin is just working his way toward it. We will see a lot from this young man in the future.
John Torres is as personal a filmmaker as you can possibly meet. His films—four shorts and one feature, all made for not more than the cost of a few mini-DV tapes and the opportunity cost of accepting other work (he runs a small editing house)—are heartbreaking works. They combine found and organized footage with text in a way that hasn't been seen before in Philippine cinema. The images, voiceover, and on-screen text all compliment each other, creating in their interaction meaning not contained in any one of them alone. I go to John Torres' films for what I can learn from them. But I learn nothing that a proper academic setting would find valuable, nothing of history, politics, and economics; not even anything about contemporary Philippine cinema. I learn something much, much more valuable to me in my life: I learn about the inner working of the heart. John's films, the ideas behind them, the struggle to make them, teach me something I need to learn: humility, benevolence. They illustrate the beauty found in self-effacement, in touching your pain, admitting your faults, and at the same time learning to sacrifice face in the name of trust, in the name of solidarity with humanity, and sharing everything that is close to you with the world, in the hope that it will understand and sympathize with you as much as you are trying your hardest to understand and sympathize with it. Ultimately, they are tone poems, films that both espouse and offer compassion.
Lav Diaz's works stand so off-tangent that Ebolusyon has had only 6 screenings in the Philippines (UP, NCCA, CCP, Cebu, Tarlac, UA&P), and altogether drawn no more than a total audience of 200-250 (but a 200-250 whose collective worth is far greater than 30-40 fully-packed commercial cinemas). His Heremias, a labor of love and the first half of the last part of his Philippine trilogy that includes Ebolusyon and Batang West Side, was made entirely with money accrued from foreign grant-giving organizations and was written, directed, produced and edited by Diaz himself. The astonishing thing about Diaz's Philippine trilogy is how, while all radical in themsleves, they're also all so different from each other—in time, space, and aesthetic. The 5-hour West Side, about the Filipino experience abroad, is a 35mm color work, shot and set in contemporary New Jersey. The 11-hour Ebolusyon, a mix of 16mm and various forms of digital, is in black and white, set just before, during, and after the Martial Law period in the Philippines. Mixing scenes of urban and rural life, it is astonishingly sophisticated in its use of both mise-en-scene and (intellectual) montage, a remarkable feat given its duration. The 9-hour Heremias, shot entirely on digital, is set in present-day rural Philippines. It is the only one among the trilogy whose story is told linear, and that focuses on a single character. This trilogy, when completed, stands to tower over contemporary Philippine cinema, over aspiring independent filmmakers, as a paradigm of what it means to be uncompromising.

An Ancestral Journey through the winds of time
planting seeds in Harrison and Grimes County Texas

Henderson's Everywhere: The Henderson Trail
Not to long ago my daughters next door neighbor Lorie, born a Henderson was driving through New Mexico when she encountered snowy conditions. They did not have snow tires on the car and was concerned about being stuck on the side of the road.
She sent a text and asked for our prayers that they get though the storm and home safely. They had earlier that day left Oklahoma from attending the Home-going Celebration of her aunt LaFay "Tootie" Henderson McClendon. R.I.P. Ms Tootie.
Not long after coming home, Lorie who was born a Henderson got more news that her uncle Walter Henderson had joined the ancestors. Man I thought, these things do happen and sometimes in Succession. In talking with Lorie, who was born a Henderson stated that her father and the rest of the family was doing well and that is what is important.
After reeling from that bit of news I went on my computer and happened to click on some pictures that I had stored. There was a picture on my mother Zepher, my grandmother Essie, and what do you know Mr Turner a good friend of the family. Mr Turner was Henderson Turner.
I smiled to myself and thought of the Henderson's. All last names and here I come up with a name from the past but this time it was a first name.
The next morning I got a call to do Lorie who was born a Henderson a favor and take her son Goobi to school. On the way back the sun was rising and had a terrible glare in my eyes. I pulled down the visor and attached to the visor was a button touting the Dave Henderson Family Reunion 2011.
Ok, this Henderson thing is grabbing my attention now. I thought about my grandmother and her Henderson neighbors she had told me about as a child in Marshall Texas. Of course these Henderson's are no relation to Lorie, who was born a Henderson but I will tell the story anyway.
My grandmother was living with me at age 95. She had the stages of dementia but even before then she was very closed mouth when it came to her family. Even though I was her grand-daughter she did not trust me either. It was like pulling teeth from her to get any information.
One rare time in talking to my grandmother, she mentioned the name of her best friend as a child growing up. Her name was Laura. She said that they both attended Freedom Enterprise School.
I later found out that the school was Friend Enterprise a Rosenwald School and that was also the community in which it was located.
Friend Enterprise School
She also stated that Ms Mandy Henderson, the best friends mother, was her mother Frances best friend
I found Ms Mandy living next door according to the 1920 Harrison Co Texas Census. Actually you had to go down the road and make a sharp left to another road (The Joe Taylor Road) then go back up even with the Henderson's back yard.
I wanted to find Ms Mandy in more than one census so that I could verify what I was told. (click to enlarge all census images)
Elbert and Amanda Henderson 1900 Harrison Co Texas Census
When I got to the 1880 census I found Amanda and her husband Elbert living next door to Phoebe and Dave Henderson. This was not the Dave Henderson whose button Lorie, born a Henderson, had attached to her sun visor. Dave was the father of Elbert and father in law of Ms Mandy.
Amanda,Elbert,David and Phoebe Henderson 1880 Census
Phoebe was the same person who was listed in the Slave Narratives I had looked at so often.
This is a picture of Phoebe Henderson. She appeared to me to be a strong black woman. She had to be,she was one hundred and five (105)at the time of the interview. She and her husband went through slavery and persevered.
Phoebe Henderson
There was mention of Phoebe living in the Enterprise Friendship Community, and this matches what my grandmother stated about the school she attended.
Narrative of Phoebe Henderson
I have enjoyed going down the Henderson trail in this mind of mine. I would hope that its a testament of things that can maybe help not only myself but others who may have a story to tell.
Phoebe's story was told a long time ago and now perhaps she can be recognized once again to many others known and unknown.
As to Lorie who was born a Henderson, she's cool and I bet she has more than a few Henderson stories to tell.

P.B Jayasundara to Play the Drama Again...
P.B Jayasundara the ex-Treasury Secretary, after a few months back appointed again as the Srilanka Treasury Secretary. P.B. Jayasundara recently appealed the high court to remove the ban of assuming any government posts, that is imposed by ex chief justice Mr. Sarath N. Silva due to dishonest practice by P.B.
However Srilanka president has requested from P.B to assume the duties once again as the Treasury Secretary. Then P.B. accepted the request and appealed the high Court to remove his ban. Current Chief Justice Asoka De Silva has removed the P.B's Ban and allowed to him to assume duties of Treasury.
After assuming duties by the President Mahinda Rajapaksa, P.B. Jayasundara called a special meeting with executive officers of the Treasury to discuss the new strategies of the Secretary.

…just don't hold water.
yesterday, using the nesstar gss data, i showed that ron's statement that…
"German-Americans … are significantly more rural than the white American average"
… is untrue. they are not. the white american average of "ruralness" is 27% (according to the nesstar gss data). thirty-three percent (33%) of german-americans live in rural areas. that's just a six point difference from the average. it's higher than average, but not a LOT. meanwhile, 41% of white american-americans ("american only") live in rural areas. that's significantly more than the white american average. (only ca. 10% of italian- and greek-americans live in rural areas.)
today i took a look at the sda gss data (no, apparently i don't have a life). here's a screenshot of my search parameters so you can see what the h*ck i did (click on image for LARGER view):
the results are — not all that different from yesterday's results (click on image for LARGER view — should open in a new tab/window — you might have to click on it there to get it to be full-sized):
dutch-americans are, indeed, very rural. and italian- and greek- and yugoslav-americans are all very urban. german-americans are quite rural, but again not much more than anglo-, scots- or even irish-americans. and american-americans are more rural than german-americans.
for some of the groups, i added to the chart the iq scores that the awesome epigone calculated based on the gss wordsum test results. as the a.e. said:
"Contrary to Unz' assertion, those of English or Welsh descent outscore Italians, Irish, Greeks, and Slavs, though the Dutch do not."
nor do the germans.
ron's idea is that urban living produces a sort-of super-flynn effect — at least for peoples of european stock. so you'd think that there ought to be a positive correlation between high average iqs for white americans and urban living — the more urban a group, the higher the iq, right?
well, i can't find any such correlation. i get a correlation of precisely zip for white american urban-ness and high iq. below is a little chart showing that absent correlation. the x-axis represents my "rural-urban index" ("difference %rural-%urban" from my table above) — more urban is to the left, more rural is to the right. the y-axis represents the awesome epigone's iq scores. as bob would say, that's a scatter plot:
several of the highest white american iqs are held by rural groups: swiss-americans (103.6 – 42% rural), norwegian-americans (102.1 – 38% rural), danish-americans (102.6 – 32% rural), and anglo-americans (102.4 – 29% rural). the swiss and norwegians started off rural back in europe and stayed pretty rural in the u.s. — more so than the germans — but they're awfully smart in the u.s. why don't they have low average iqs? the danish- and anglo-americans started off pretty urban back in europe, but now they're rural in the u.s., but they're smart, too. what is going on?
meanwhile, white puerto ricans are some of the most urban (92% urban) of all these groups and their iq is only 89.9. and whites from mexico, too — very urban (80% urban) — but with an average iq of 87.7.
nope. i just don't think this rural/urban explanation is gonna work.
previously: rural white americans
(note: comments do not require an email. i need a drink.)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Season 5 watch free 123movies
Beginning its tale in 19th century England, young aristocrat Jonathan Joestar finds himself locked in bitter rivalry with Dio Brando, a low-born boy who Jonathan's father took under his wing after the death of Dio's father. Discontent with his station in life, Dio's fathomless drive to reign over all eventually leads him to seek the supernatural powers of an ancient Aztec stone mask in the Joestars' possession – an artifact that will forever change the destiny of Dio and Jonathan for generations to come. Fifty years later, in 1938 New York City, Jonathan's grandson Joseph Joestar must take up his grandfather's mission and master the abilities necessary to destroy the stone mask and its immensely powerful creators, the Pillar men, who threaten humanity's very existence.

You always know a movie is in trouble when half the dramatis personae are required to waste their time beefing up the reputations of the other half ... What the screenwriter and the director fail to understand is that the more blatantly they broadcast such wickedness, the less we believe in it: everyone talks with such awe about Garland Greene, about his extravagant appetite for homicide, that you can't help laughing when his restraining mask is finally unstrapped to reveal the endearing bozo features of Steve Buscemi - a man who could, if he was feeling especially mean, kill a couple of cold beers.I felt the same way about Abhishek Bachchan's Beera in Raavan. The film mythologises the character continuously, a sure sign that it can't trust the actor to convey the necessary menace and complexity. At one point we get a montage of people talking about Beera: he's a kavi, says one; women go crazy over him, exults another. "Vidhwan hai." "Dhol bajaate hain." "Bahut khatarnaak hai." Going purely by the awe-struck expressions on the faces of these people, Beera would be the most enigmatic and layered anti-hero you could imagine.
But come face to face with the person himself and this is what you get: Bachchan throwing his facial muscles out of gear by curling his lips and snarling as fiercely as he can (which is not very fiercely), or making grunting noises that suggest he has a truckload of phlegm stuck in his throat, or shaking his head wildly and mumbling "Chika Chika Chika" (yes, like in that song in Race) or "Bak Bak Bak" while the camera jump-cuts all over the place. This last gesture is presumably meant to convey Beera's tortured state of mind, but in the scenes where he glares and babbles at the captive Ragini (Aishwarya Rai), the impression I got was of a 10-year-old boy trying really, really hard to be psychotic… while his slightly bored girlfriend watches from the sidelines, trying really, really hard to be impressed.
In other words, here are Abhishek and Aishwarya playing a childhood game of daku and hasina. For all the New Bollywood sophistication of Raavan, Meenakshi Seshadri and Jackie Shroff did this sort of thing with equal conviction in Hero three decades ago…and they sang "Ding Dong, O Baby Sing a Song" to boot.
Raavan (the Hindi version anyway - I'm told the Tamil version is better cast) is another ego project – it's all about a star couple doing something "different". Watch Abhishek play an intense "villain" who has to put mud-packs on his face to show us what a bad-ass he is. Watch Aishwarya fall into the water in slo-mo and get muddy and bloody and claw at dirt with her beautiful fingernails. Watch this glamorous duo willingly debase themselves in the name of their Art, even though they remain eminently photogenic through it all. That in itself isn't such a surprise - one has come to expect it from mainstream Bollywood, especially where star families are involved - but it's really amusing how the pre-publicity made such a big deal about the "psychological complexity" of the Beera character. In a series of interviews featuring Abhishek, Mani Ratnam and others, it was carefully explained that Beera was a "Ravana" figure in the sense of having ten different personalities or voices, which regularly speak to each other. This is nonsense (or "bak bak bak"), and it's dishonest nonsense, carefully calculated to give the film faux-respectability in the eyes of the casual viewer.
Abhishek's best work in the past has been in light, laidback roles (and light comedy requires a lot of skill): in Bluffmaster, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, bits of Dostana, even Dhoom 2. He does goofy exceptionally well; his performances in some of the Motorola and Idea commercials were better conceived and executed than his entire part in Raavan, and his most convincing scenes in this film are the ones where Beera is fooling around in dance sequences, or at pre-wedding festivities. Personally I think it's high time he and Aishwarya were cast together in a really well-written romantic comedy. But I get the impression that people are trying much too hard to manufacture an intense, brooding persona for him, as if you need to be able to glower at the camera in order to be a "respectable" actor. Pity.
(And no, I'm not reviewing the film, except to say: what a tragic waste of Govinda.)

It's a classic treat—especially around the holidays. So go ahead and let these smart recipes and tips help you enjoy a little indulgence.
Need a dessert that will "wow" your guests…or your hostess? You can't go wrong with rich, creamy cheesecake, provided you make it yourself. A cheesecake bought at a restaurant or grocery store can be well over 250 calories a slice. You could split a slice with someone else and still keep your eating goals on target. But wouldn't you rather savor a full-size wedge of one of our delicious cheesecake recipes?
Our experts at the Kraft Kitchens created these better-for-you versions by making a few simple switches to the ingredients list that add flavor and subtract fat and calories. Here are the tricks they used to create two special recipes. Try one this month, or search keyword "cheesecake" using our Recipe Finder tool for more great recipes.
Start with the crust. In most cheesecake recipes, the graham cracker crust includes at least a quarter cup of butter. Our versions simply call for sprinkling graham cracker crumbs over a coating of nonstick cooking spray. This cuts fat and calories and saves time, too.
Love low-fat dairy. Instead of regular cream cheese, our Double-Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake uses PHILADELPHIA Fat Free Cream Cheese. Our Low-Fat Orange Dream Cheesecake filling calls for a blend of fat free cream cheese, as well as some low-fat (2%) BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Cottage Cheese.
Get creative with flavor. Canned pumpkin makes our Double-Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake the perfect choice for a fall get-together. And our Low-Fat Orange Dream Cheesecake uses orange-flavored JELL-O Sugar Free Gelatin to add sweetness to each slice. Delicious!
Choose a sugar free topping. If you'd like to add a little pizzazz to your final presentation, top each slice with a dollop of COOL WHIP Sugar Free Whipped Topping and a sprinkling of cinnamon. A tablespoon of COOL WHIP Sugar Free will add a nice finish to your slice with about 10 calories.

Laura J. Brown told the New York Times' tech blog, Bits, that the FAA would take "a fresh look" at how the administration approaches the near-ubiquitous consumer tablets.
Just think of the trees saved by not having to load up on magazines at the airport book store.

Testing will begin soon on various gadgets and if they would interfere with anything the pilots might need to safely fly. The last testing was done in 2006 -- long before the launch of the iPad.
Until now, airlines were expected to do the extensive -- and expensive -- testing of electronic devices and how they effect avionics. But they haven't (see: it's expensive). So the FAA is stepping in to do it itself.
To test an airline would have to fly a plane empty of passengers and test each iteration of a product. So the first three versions of the iPad would be tested separately, on three flights. With no paying customers. Then they'd have to do the same with the Kindle, etc.
Of course, just because the FAA says they'll do it doesn't mean they'll be quick about it. Say hello to bureaucratic red tape.

Flat Bats
In case you haven't noticed, we are scuffling. The offense has gone south since the 20-run win in St. Louis on Friday the 13th.
Perhaps it is time to do something drastic. Offense starts with bats so let's do something with those pieces of wood:
**Burn them in a bonfire.
**Invite a colony of termites for a feast.
**Sell them to a toothpick factory.
**Dip them in The Bull's spicy barbeque sauce.
**Stick them in a freezer to make them harder.
**Drape them with flowers as a sign of affection.
**Send them back to the forest.
**Grind them into kitty litter.
**Flatten them into roars.

build the bandwagon that we'll soon be jumping off! glad we had a great start!
Donate them to amputee pirates to replace their peg-legs? Well, maybe if we can sqeak out one more win here this week, we'll consider putting those bats to better use :o) Go Phillies!
