I Understand How You Feel (Oh No You Don't!)
Challenging the Paradigm of How to Communicate Empathy
Understanding a Person's Condition from Their Perspective
Empathy - from Greek empatheia (from em-'in' + pathos 'feeling'). People often confuse the words Empathy and Sympathy. Empathy is the experience of understanding another person's condition from their perspective whereas Sympathy means feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.
A paradigm is a theory or belief system that guides the way we do things. It can be defined as a pattern or model; a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitute a way of viewing reality. It's easy to buy into a paradigm when it seems logical and you have no other frame of reference. It isn't however always the wisest thing to do. This article challenges the paradigm of how to communicate or respond with empathy.
Where Does it Begin?
When people listen, they do so naturally from their own perspective. The concept of responding with empathy begins with the intention of understanding the other person's point of view from their perspective, not one's own. How is what they are saying affecting them? How are they feeling about what they are saying? Communication is driven by intention, not technique and so it is important to be clear on your intention when you are listening and responding with empathy.
I Understand How You Feel. (Oh No You Don't!)
How do you feel when somebody tells you that they understand how you feel? Most of the time it's annoying even though the person might be genuinely empathic.
We have learned to communicate empathy in some strange ways. We have been taught to imagine how we would feel if we were in a similar position to someone else and this would help us to empathise with them. If you were to empathise by asking yourself, "How would I feel if I was that person?" you have missed the point. It really isn't about you at all.
What is it about the word Eimpathy? Did you notice the incorrect spelling? There is no 'i' in Empathy and that is the key. When you put yourself in someone else's shoes you are typically trying to imagine how you would feel if you were in that person's place. But, there is no 'i' in Empathy. In other words, this is not about you, this is about them.
Listen First
You can't respond with empathy unless you have been listening with empathy. In other words, you first need to listen and try to understand how they are feeling before you can respond appropriately. Instead of saying, "I understand how you feel, it happened to me too," simply consider how you think they are feeling and check it out. For example, "You seem to be quite worried about how long it is taking?"
When responding with empathy, remember to relate back both the FEELING and the CONTENT to the other person. For example, "You must be feeling very frustrated (feeling) that you didn't get there on time (content)?"
In our quest to help, we often rush to give advice or suggest a course of action when most of the time providing empathy would be far more appropriate. Some people compound matters even further by using the irritating phrase, "If I was you I would….." Always check if someone wants advice before giving it to them.
Here are some more examples of responding with empathy.
- You seem to be concerned about how it will impact on your customers?
- You seem quite excited about meeting your nephew?
- It must be frustrating not having enough time to complete the project?
- You must be annoyed that he didn't consult you first?
- You seem disappointed that they didn't use your design?
- You seem quite sad that he's gone?
- You seem delighted that you no longer have to work in that office?
- You seem relieved that he finally saw your point of view?
Connecting With Others
Listening with empathy and responding appropriately is one of the most powerful techniques you can use to develop your communication skills and improve your relationships. Being understood is a fundamental psychological need that we all have. A well communicated empathic response will clearly show the other person that you are sincere and that you do understand. Take time to listen to understand, and experience an immediate positive impact.
Great points that you make. I have also noticed that people do not really listen when we say things. In many cases they are thinking of what to cook for tea and not really care about us as a person.
Shame isn't it. Same as respect, what happened to respecting each other or the law for that matter. rated up
Great hub! I agree with Sueswan. voted up!
Great approach---helpful and insightful!
Hi Russ,
Even if two people have the same experience it doesn't mean they know how the other person feels as we all experience things differently.
Voted up awesome and sharing
Take care :)

2018 Fall welcomed high waist ed flare bottoms along with crop tops and jackets. The style started moving in slowly with the fashionistas during the summer with high waist ed swim suits and high waist ed jeans, so it was not long ago that flare bottoms came back as well. Paired well with crop top and jackets in the day to laced tops and dinner jackets at nights – these pants are definable and definitely worth the investment in basic colors. Play with the tops and jackets for more versatile looks.

Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad said that it "breaks our heart" to have their partnership with the SouthCare Helicopter broken off.
The company had naming rights sponsorship of the rescue helicopter, affectionately nicknamed 'Charlie,' for over 18 years, until the government took it over as of March 31 this year.
However, Mr Broad said that since then they had been investigating other ways Snowy Hydro could make a similar investment in the local community.
"We won't walk away from our community engagement; there's obviously a lot of little things around but we'd love to do something of that scale again," he said.
"Here at Snowy we have some ideas about what we might be doing but I don't want to say too much just yet! We still need to finalise the negotiations with various parties.
"I think we might have used [Charlie] once to benefit us directly but it was mainly a huge asset to the community, so something that has that huge benefit for everybody is something we look for."
Mr Broad said that they intend to use the SouthCare money locally, but they wouldn't be taking proposals from local groups due to scale.
"What happens is that you get 5000 of them and that doesn't work for us – not because we think there aren't good small things in the communities but because we think we're big enough and ugly enough to do big things that benefit everybody, and it's very hard to achieve that if you give $2000 here and $5000 there, and it starts spiralling out of control," he said.
"We obviously do a lot of other things [besides SouthCare], so none of that will change, and our connection to communities is really vital to us."
Mr Broad also said he wanted to recognise the fundraising efforts of local groups that assisted them in funding the SouthCare helicopter, before they move on to other projects.
"We firstly want to reach out and thank the people of Tumut and surrounding areas for their wonderful support of us and SouthCare," he said.
"I can remember being over there many times receiving checks from Trina [Thomson, former Mayor] and others on behalf of the community, so I'm sure the community up there will be a little bit put out, as we are, that they've gone in another direction, as they say. "The new chopper itself will be very good and I don't think there's any risk that the standard of service will change – I certainly hope not!"
The SouthCare rescue helicopter is now being funded by the ACT and NSW governments.

Think back.
Way back.
All the way back to January of … last year.
It was a painful month to say the least. Stocks and commodities were more depressed than a Hillary voter at 12 a.m. EST on November 9.
For bonds, it was business as usual. 10s have rallied in three consecutive Januarys going into 2017…
(Chart: SocGen)
This year is off to a better start for equities and crude, while the abrupt reversal of the reflation trade has pushed yields lower in the US (are we headed for a fourth straight January bond rally?). For those interested in the head to head comparison, find a handy guide below from Wells Fargo.

HISTORY Shaping
By Eric Reeder
Founder and leader of RISEmovement
This morning I heard, "we can't change history unless we change how God is viewed and how we are viewed."
This seems to be the fundamental work of Jesus. Richard Rohr has said, "Jesus didn't come to change God's mind about man, but rather change man's mind about God."
Too much doctrine has Jesus' Father looking like Zeus. That has shaped hearts who go on to shape history in a courtroom understanding with a distance judge who is a cold arbiter of justice understood as punishment instead of mercy. So we have a punishment based society centered on who did what to who and who is going to pay. Father's heart isn't about who's going to pay. It's about who's going to forgive.
When we are renewed in seeing Him that way, we become those who look to forgive instead of those looking for payment from our offender. This walks out in marriage, parenting, friendships, business, and society. Our view of Him determines how we respond. If we see Him responding in anger and punishment, we'll think that's the way things are to be done. Like any child observing a parent, we will follow what we see of Father.
The view of an angry, punishing God obsessed with our moral or immoral deeds has built a culture of rebellion, anger, fighting, punishment, retribution, and scorn. If we want a different culture in our hearts, our homes, and our cities, it'll require seeing God differently.
We are to understand Father is like Jesus not like Zeus.
Love Can't Stay Away
By Eric Reeder
Founder and leader of RISEmovement
Mark 2:13-17
Jesus isn't afraid of sin. Jesus isn't turned away by sin. Matter of fact, Jesus is drawn to the results of sin. Jesus shows up to display forgiveness. He arrives when death is the result so life emerges. Jesus receives the brokenness leaving us with healing.
Jesus always offends the law and the "protectors of the law". He walks toward the very one rejected by the religious order and selects him. Taking it further, Jesus doesn't just call the tax collector to His company, He goes with Levi to his company. Jesus goes in the house with "sinners" and reclines. Relaxes. He goes right in there. Drawn. Compelled. Lead by Holy Spirit. Jesus only does what He sees Father do. He went to the rejected to give them belonging. He didn't stand on the street and call them to come outside. He went in. Jesus goes in where sin is.
We should expect that even in our own sin Jesus is stepping in. Even in areas of life we fall short, miss the mark, rebel, He is right in there with us. When shame, rejection, guilt wants to yell the loudest, He can be heard above the noise.
Jesus going in Levi's house messed with the "protectors of the law". They were offended and criticized Jesus. Jesus didn't seem bothered. He had brought His disciples and followers right into the house to be among the outcast, sinner, broken, law-breakers. The Pharisees wouldn't even talk to Jesus. But Jesus answered their criticism by say He came for the sick.
Sin drew Jesus. Sickness called Him in. Brokenness compelled Him. He couldn't stay away. He was/is the answer. It would be an injustice for Him to stay away. Love won't stay away.
Sin, sickness, brokenness isn't the final word. Jesus is. He never withholds Himself.
Sin doesn't keep Jesus from us. Sin produces brokenness. Jesus frees us from doing what causes brokenness. He shows us the way of Life and life full of abundance. He went in Levi's house so sin would no longer be the control of their life perpetuating sickness and destruction. Jesus runs toward sin so it's removed and we can live whole. He's like David running straight at the tyrannical giant. Jesus' goodness ends sin's tyranny so our lives aren't under the control of brokenness. Love can't stay away.
No Longer Paralyzed
by Eric Reeder
Founder and leader of RISEmovement
Mark 2:1-5
Jesus was Emmanuel, God walking around with us. He was right in the midst of broken, sick, sinful, deceived people hanging with them without issue. He was in the midst of darkness displaying light at all times. He didn't push people away, He came to them and then called them to come to Him. He never told people to come to Him without having had moved toward them first. He is not removed in the presence of sin, or sickness, or brokenness. He is close and available and changes the situation.
While Jesus was telling people about Father, there came an amazing opportunity to show people what Father is like. A paralyzed man is lowered down in front of Him. Jesus moves out of teaching and into showing. He wasn't going to just talk about Father. He was going to display Father. That is an important aspect that we all need to live. We need to show people what Father is like.
Jesus makes one of that craziest statements as He steps forward to take care of this gentleman. Jesus goes straight for the jugular. He goes to the "elephant-in-the-room". He doesn't even talk of the disease. He goes to the heart of the matter. He shows us what Father is like. Jesus says, "Son, your sins are forgiven." What?!
Jesus makes this statement of truth and it rocks their world and rocks ours. Jesus doesn't announce his forgiveness as if it was never there before. Jesus proclaims what has always been. Father walked in forgiveness toward that guy. He walks in forgiveness toward us. Jesus hadn't died on the cross at this point. So we have to conclude that the cross didn't create or provide forgiveness. The cross was the display of forgiveness that was already in play from the goodness of Father. How else could Jesus state that this guy was forgiven if forgiveness was dependent on the cross? This guy didn't even confess his sin. Jesus just displayed that Father had already forgiven him so now go free and embrace the healing available to you from Father's goodness.
It's basically impossible to feel worthy of a healing if you don't realize your value through Father's love that has always had forgiveness toward you. That is why Jesus went straight to that point. He wanted this guy to experience Father's goodness and awaken to his value so we would no longer be paralyzed. When hearts awaken to the depth of Father's love and value for us it heals what has us paralyzed. Our hearts, our minds, and even our physical body respond to the "all-liberating" truth of Father's love. Our paralyzed state is remedied and we pick up our mats and live like we never have before.
Roadblocks to Destiny
by Michelle Harding
Founder President of Life by Design Ministries, Hurlock, MD
Senior Leader at Church of The King, Easton, MD
Merriam Webster defines "Roadblock" as:
1 a : a barricade often with traps or mines for holding up an enemy at a point on a road covered by fire
b : a road barricade set up especially by law enforcement officers
2: an obstruction in a road
3: something that blocks progress or prevents accomplishment of an objective
Roadblocks are one of those things that we encounter in life. Where I live, the state of Maryland is building a long overdue and much needed bridge to replace the one that currently stands there. That bridge is a source of great frustration in our community, you never know if it will be stuck open, or if you are on a boat; if it will be stuck closed, or if you will drive over it and pavement begins to fall into the river beneath you. And as we wait on the completion of this new bridge, we encounter roadblocks almost every day. A few days ago, while sitting in traffic waiting for my turn to pass through the one lane open to traffic, frustrated that it was taking so long, the Lord spoke to my heart. He said, "Wherever there is progress, there will be roadblocks, things that will deter, delay, and distract."
When I looked up the definition of roadblock and saw its various meanings, I was struck at how parallel they are to our spiritual journey towards destiny. In making progress in our lives we will face barricades, traps, and landmines placed there by the enemy of our souls. Dark forces are indeed at work to hinder the progress of the Kingdom of God in us and through us. Often times these seasons feel like a barrage of unceasing enemy fire seeking to enforce the lies that once held us back or mindsets that keep us paralyzed in fear.
Sometimes when there are obstructions on the road to destiny, they are not for our detriment, but for our good. There are times Father, in His deep love and mercy towards us, will allow delays forward to cause us to take a new direction or delay us so things can be made safer ahead. You see, just like the roadblocks I face every day traveling over that bridge here in my community, there are days it is best to wait for things to clear and sometimes it is best to take an alternative route. I look for signs around me that will help me gage the best choice. In the same way, asking Father and being led of the Spirit, we can discern if the delay is best waited on or if we are to seek a new direction.
In my own life, often the roadblocks I have faced stem from unbelief in areas; lies I've believed; or a wrong view of Father and my relationship with Him. Still others we face are past hurts, things we get hung up on, and bad habits. Roadblocks to our destiny also include, financial difficulties, divorce or bad relationships, continued sin cycles, job loss, death of a loved one, trauma, abuse, addiction, unforgiveness, depression, self-hatred, or a notorious past. There are many other things that could be added to this list, it is by no means meant to be exhaustive, since each of us have traveled our own roads in this life and have faced many roadblocks in it.
But as the final definition above shows us, the reality is roadblocks can block progress or prevent us from stepping fully into our destiny. We will face roadblocks, but there are truths that can propel us further or shift our current trajectory to step into our destiny. One of the most important to remember is roadblocks are temporary, but how we handle them determines the outcome. The verse that comes to mind here for me most often is Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Trusting Father is essential. Our unwavering assurance of His love is the ground work for every area we trust Him with. Complete knowing, that He is a good Father, a loving Father, a giving Father, and a trustworthy Father becomes the plumb line of every issue of our heart and lives. In my knowing how thoroughly and unquestionable His love for me is, nothing can overtake me.
Another point is we cannot lean on our own understanding. Why? Because often our understanding is skewed. Things like our past, the culture we were raised in, the lenses religion has put on us, wrong doctrines, and just plain bad teaching can distort how we see, perceive, and understand situations, circumstances and people. This is why the next portion of our instruction is so important in Proverbs 3:5-6.
We are to acknowledge Father in all our ways. According to the "Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament", the word here for acknowledge is the Hebrew word "yada". In its simplest definition it is "to know". But a closer look reveals that it is tied to the "knowing possessed by God in which nothing can be hidden" It also speaks to it being something He teaches man and is parallel to wisdom and understanding, instruction, and law. So to sum "acknowledge Him" up it means that if we will know Him, we will taught by Him wisdom in our ways, but it requires a contemplative pursuit of His wisdom and knowledge.
To be contemplative is to make thoughtful observations, it requires reflection, deep and considered thought. It is to be purposeful, intentional, and expectant. And most importantly, prayerful. His wisdom is often mined out of the hard places in our lives if we will be contemplative seekers of Him and His wisdom. So as we acknowledge Him in all our ways, it is important that we are not dogmatic in what we know, but are willing to ask ourselves hard questions and that we are willing to allow the Lord to offend our minds to get to our hearts.
In doing these things we have a promise! And in our knowing of His Love and faithfulness to us, our Father is a promise keeper. So, He promises us as we trust Him, not leaning on our own understanding, and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He WILL make our paths straight. We can trust Him with the roadblocks and we can trust Him to lead us forward or around the obstacles. Your destiny is straight ahead!
Short Circuiting Creativity
by Chad Waller
Lead Pastor of Vc2 Tennille, GA
Author of "Ash Sculpting" and "Synergize"
Owner of Waller-Hill Publishing
I find it interesting that many creative people struggle with depression. Though this may seem like a generalization, it is founded on many years of observation and on my own personal experience. Depression, in a very true and insidious way, tends to short circuit creativity. It causes us to misplace our confidence that things can get better. May I remind you that hope is not a wish, but is a confident expectation of the goodness of God. It is confidence that God's goodness still prevails. However, as we give place to depression, we begin to think there is no use in trying, pressing on, or working anymore towards a favorable outcome. Often, this seems to be when people become exasperated and simple want to give up. Feeling they have lost their creative edge, they bang down on the keyboard, throw away the canvas, rip up the page, or walk away from the project at hand.
As I am writing this, I realize some may possibly think this far fetched and maybe even silly. Well, I am writing in particular to creative people (i.e. Artist, Musicians, Writers, Dancers, Actors, etc.) and I am confident they can connect with this thought. The feeling that nothing seems to be coming out the way you feel it, hear it or see it. This moment often causes us to feel down cast in our souls. We can begin to misplace our hope by looking to ourselves as the source of creativity and wondering what happened to us. You must stop and remember who is your source!
Psalm 43:5 "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God."
So when our soul is cast down, or may I even say depressed, there is turmoil within us. This turmoil causes us to struggle with creativity and makes it difficult to even focus. The battle within us can be fierce and produce much disruption that keeps us from accomplishing what we desire to create or even creating anything of significance.
It is interesting that David tells his soul here to hope in God or to have confidence that God's goodness still prevails. He speaks to his soul and encourages himself that he will again praise God. He reminds himself that God is his salvation and simply that God is his God! I find this so important because God is my source. He is the Great Creator and I, His creation, have been entrusted with creative power and I create for His glory and honor. I have to remind myself that He is the source and I am only a channel of that creativity being released from the source of all life! In Christ, and by Christ and through Christ all things exist! And it is all for His glory! So my confidence and hope are in the Lord!
I am certain that discussing this could cause someone who suffers with depression to say I am being insensitive or possibly that I don't understand how hard it can be for those who fight depression. The truth is, I have fought depression much in my life. So I don't speak as an outsider looking down on anyone who deals with this. And yes, I know there are medical things that can cause depression. I also happen to know that our God is known as Jehovah Rapha, the Lord my physician, and that Jesus Christ bore my sicknesses and all my diseases on the cross! By the stripes of Jesus I have been healed–spirit, soul, and body! So I don't just lay down and accept any disease, be it it physical or emotional, but I stand declaring what the Word of God says!
I cannot give place to depression in my life. It short circuits what I have been called to do and created for. It stifles my creativity and slows down my creative juices. Depression causes me to focus on myself and my problems and not on God and is often caused by me being more self absorbed that Christ focused. My life is not my own, it belongs to Him and as I fellowship and commune with Him, more creativity flows than I ever dreamed possible. It flows from a place of confidence. It flows from a place of hope. Deep inside I see that I can make a difference and things can be better. Then I stop focusing on the negative and I begin to see the limitless possibilities that Father God wants to release. My soul places its hope and trust in the Lord and I find wells of creativity. Then I create from that place–that place of HOPE!
Hope in the Lord oh my soul, He will not fail you!

What comes to your mind when you think about Authority Leadership and Power Leadership?
I would like for you to take a moment and write down what you feel is the difference between Power and Authority according to
your world view. Then continue this study.
Authority~ ____________________________________________________________________
Power~ _______________________________________________________________________
One has a Father's heart towards leading and the other has an Orphan's heart towards dominating and controlling. Here are the definitions that we will be focusing on, so that we are all on the same page…
Authority~ The skill of getting someone (or a group of people) to do something towards a common goal with
enthusiasm and camaraderie.
Power~ The ability to get someone (or a group of people) to do something towards a common goal because of your entitlement.
There are two key words that separate the definitions: the word skill and the word ability.
Moving people skillfully is hands on.
The word skill in the dictionary means~ to work upon. Watch how this works. As we walk in Authority, we skillfully work upon each individual to move them towards the common goal. We want to move them towards the common goal, not push them. Moving people skillfully is hands on. This is the Father's mentality: to help people to move others in the direction of His will. Being right beside them, moving them towards the goal and when the
time is right, we release them to accomplish the goal through their gifts, talents,
and anointing.
No one likes to be pushed to the ground.
The word ability in the dictionary means~ possession of the means …. to do something.
Power is the ability to push people towards the common goal. Just because you've been given the entitlement of a Mother, or the entitlement of a Husband, or the entitlement of a
Pastor or the entitlement of a Boss on your job, does not give you the right to push
people around. This is the Orphan mentality..."My way or the high way". It is not hands on like the Father's mentality, but rather it's pushing them towards the goal and leaving them out to fend for themselves. Walking dominantly in the power of your entitlement really can turn people off. That kind of attitude pushes people into getting the job done, but it can cause strife and disharmony. Unfortunately, the gifts, talents, and anointing to do the job, gets stifled. The Father's mentality moves and the Orphan mentality pushes.
The Father's Mentality moves and the Orphan mentality pushes.
"Authority" is skillfully working upon each individual and "Power" is forcing your ability of entitlement .
Authority moves, Power pushes. The Father's mentality moves people with
a hands on approach. The Orphan mentality pushes people away and its
hands off with no real guidance. Real Authority is guidance with freedom;
where Power is abandonment with chains of restrictions. We need to walk in
Authority Leadership so that we can utilize all the gifts, talents, and
anointing a person carries for the Kingdom sake.
Authority is guidance with freedom, Power is abandonment with chains of restrictions.
Our next study will bring us to a breakdown of even a greater proportion of the definition of Authority.

Because the commission of God's Apostles is national and multi-national in its sphere and reach, it will require individuals gifted and graced to accommodate the advancement of God's kingdom in such a work, first among which is the prophet.
Prophets unlike Apostles are not always national and multi-national officials. Rather the uniqueness of their gifting and revelatory administrations makes it so that they are able complement the work of God's Apostles within the territory assigned to them.
Consider it this way, The Apostle can be compared to a sower who plants seed (word and works) within their particular metron which if given the time and right environment will bear much fruit. However, this is only so if in fact there are 3 things in operation:
1. The right climate
2. The right soil
3. The right protection.
The Right Climate:
Herein is where Prophets are indeed essential. Prophets by nature are both thermostats and thermometers. They have an unusual capacity to determine the atmosphere within a particular sphere in which they dominate. Thus, they (like thermometers) can with time and training determine the readiness of a region to receive what God has given to an Apostle and like thermostats they can adjust the atmosphere to a degree that the people and realm is prepared for what the Apostle has to release therein. This is very much Prophets tend to be so passionate, adamant, and skilled in worship and intercession. Their makeup is such that they can do what is necessary to mobilize the kind of climate needed for what God would do for the advancement of His kingdom through His apostles. This is why you will tend to see them mobilizing prayer, worship, and intercession..it is done to PREPARE the way ..even as John the Baptist
The Right Soil:
Prophets through their preaching and teaching and other revelatory expressions will prepare the soil, which are the hearts and minds of a people called to receive the Apostle's doctrine. They will plow and press until the soil of people's hearts until they are prepare for the corporate movement of God's Spirit in and amongst them for the express purpose of advancement and territorial change. Every farmer will tell you that it is fruitless to sow seed into dry, hard soil. Doing so will make the work all the more unproductive and difficult. Yet, Prophets can mobilize people in unity and oneness making the word of God through His Apostles more effective and their work far easier.
The Right Protection:
The greatest word to describe the work of God's Prophets is SHAMAR. To shamar is to guard, to watch, and to keep. Prophets do on earth what God does in heaven, they watch for the performance of His word and His intention. Thus it is not unusual to see prophets laboring tirelessly to see the facilitation and full manifestation of what He has pre-ordained and dictated to occur. They will boldly confront any and all things deemed demonic and hazardous in its effects. They will rebuke it, confront it, expose it, and compel it to leave through whatever means necessary. Simply put, prophets will labor to remove whatever is perceived to be a threat to the advancement of God's Kingdom, which comes through His Apostles.
This more than any other reasons is why Apostles and Prophets must learn to co-exist. Their relationship though many times conflicting and challenging is nevertheless essential, and it is only through mutual honor, submission, and co-laboring will what God has designed to be released come to pass. For the work of the Prophets protects what God is doing through His people will the work of the Apostles bring clarity to what God is doing. We cannot afford to have one without the next.

Hello RISE family! I want to apologize that I did not write my blog last month, but I have a reason that will prayerfully be sufficient. On April 28 my beautiful and radiant bride Paula gave me my second son Judah Edward Sprecher. Since then our house has been bursting with FATHER'S LOVE at new heights…and a few baby cry's and dirty diapers scattered in between! Abba is so good, and I can share with you that my personal fire and experiencing of Father's love has never been stronger. I want to share with you this month some stirring from Father that is happening deep in the vaults of my heart. I pray it makes sense and will cause a RISE inside you of Father's love during this month of Father's Day!
I was holding Judah late one-night last week, and Father spoke to me, "My son, in the same way you love holding and beholding the new life in your arms right now, I experience an even greater measure of this feeling every time a life is BORN AGAIN into Me. The overwhelming joy of the father's love I am giving you right now is to bless you because I love you, and to share with you a taste of what I feel in My heart towards EVERY child that I am Father too." Immediately as Father spoke this, my heart flooded with fire, deep affection, and revelation about His heart-beat. Father's love brings both the most intensely STRONG and delicately TENDER revelations of Him into our inner being! That is the best way I can describe what is happening to me, and my prayer is that this will continue to happen to you and the RISE family continually. Yes, more and more Father of You!
Father's love has no match and no rival in its effect on created life. Jesus absolutely knew this, and knew His Father. He knew the power of the Father-child relationship being restored back to its perfect union! That is why He was willing to pay such an unimaginable cost to unite Father and child back together again. Now, we are truly beginning to know what Jesus knows. Now, we are beginning to awaken to Father and the full power of this relationship being restored into its perfect union! Guys, the planet will not be the same because of this! Whole cities, churches and families will be radically restored as Father's love hits the hearts of men and women like a fresh bursting spring coming up from the deep…hitting the deep places inside us! The greatest movements and shakings of our time are not going to come from evil…but from the heavenly collision of Father and His children being reunited again!

MATTHEW 8 23 Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. 24 Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26 Jesus responded, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm
27 The disciples were amazed. "Who is this man?" they asked. "Even the winds and waves obey him!"
I'm going to challenge you to take a look at the the story of Jesus calming the storm from a different perspective. We are going to look at this from the perspective of a Son/Daughter, not from someone who is unsure of their identity. Most (if not all) of the time that I hear this story told, it is told from the perspective of the disciples. When the boat began to rock and water began to fill the boat, they began to run around in a panic because they didn't yet understand who they were, or who Jesus was for that matter... but Jesus was able to sleep through the storm because He knew who He was. He knew He was a Son and knew that He had the power of the Holy Spirit living inside of Him.
We too often live life without this powerful realization. We have the very same Spirit living inside of us that raised Jesus from the dead. The same Spirit y'all. Not a similar spirit, not a spirit kinda like the one Jesus had, but the SAME Spirit. This is exactly why Jesus said we would do even greater things than He did. When we settle it in our hearts that we have this same Spirit dwelling inside of us, it's a game-changer.
The Bible doesn't tell us the names of who was on the boat with Jesus during this storm. We can assume that at least a couple of the disciples who used to be fisherman may have been on the boat at this time. During this storm, they reverted back to what the world told them they were, not who they were in Christ. Matter of fact, they couldn't have fully understood who He was quite yet. Their fear and distress was a direct result of their lack of identity. They didn't know who they were and they allowed the atmosphere to control them because of that.
When they came to Jesus for help, He was asleep in the boat. Upon awakening He got up, spoke to the wind and the waves, and the storm stopped. He knew who He was and He knew the power of the Spirit that was living inside of Him…. and when a Son or a Daughter is secure in their identity and is walking with the realization that the Holy Spirit is active inside of them, they can sleep during storms. They can speak to the winds and waves of life and calm the atmosphere.
Sons and daughters change the atmosphere, the atmosphere does not change them.
Recently I heard the song "Carrier" by Nathan Isaacs and the lyrics are as follows (paraphrased):
I call this viewpoint the elevated perspective - as opposed to the whiny, defeated, "poor pitiful me" Christian perspective that seems to constantly fill my facebook feed. Sons and Daughters who are secure in who they are don't allow the atmosphere to change them. Sons and Daughters who are secure in who they are speak to the atmosphere and things change. Sons and Daughters aren't what the world tells them they are. Sons and Daughters carry Father's authority. The identity of a Son or Daughter isn't wrapped up in what they used to be… Their identity is secure in who God says they are. Be a Son. Be a Daughter. Sleep unphased during your storm. Speak to your storm. Speak to someone else's storm.
"And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

No need to do a double take. Song Hye Kyo is starring on the covers of Marie Claire China twice.
The actress — who stars in the upcoming Chinese feature film The Crossing — took over two front pages of the fashion magazine's December issue (http://www.mcchina.com) and looks equally radiant on both.
One of the 32-year-old's covers shows her in a black and while beauty shot, while sees her in color wearing a lace-style top.
Song has been forced to lay low in Korea since being embroiled in a tax-evasion scandal last month but her career in the Chinese continent remains unaffected.
The Crossing, set for release on December 2, sees her star along with Zhang Ziyi in an epic telling of Taiping — a large steamer that sunk in 1949. And just 10 days later, another one of her Chinese films, The Queens, will also be released. It appears she only does things in pairs!

I have read The God Delusion, and commend you for writing such a well researched and informative book.
I am a biologist, teacher and practicing Roman Catholic. I delight in your arguments exposing the dangers associated with fundamentalism of any type. While I do not agree with some of your assertions throughout the book, I nevertheless respect your view and the logic you use to argue them. I certainly respect and defend unquestionably your right to freely express and argue your ideas in a 21st century democracy. As a Christian, I share your sadness of the many terrible things in the history of humanity that have their genesis in religion. I hope we can learn from them in the spirit of Zeitgeiest. I also am deeply saddened by the vitriolic hatred and hysterical attacks on you personally by those citing themselves as defending religious faith of whatever persuasion. These people are an embarrassment and are to be pitied. Despite some reactionary reviews that cite you as unfairly attacking Christianity, I actually felt that while you clearly argue from an atheist position, your arguments are directed to an attack on ideas rather than personal attacks; in fact you have been very balanced in your assessment of some of the more recent issues of religion that are otherwise exaggerated by many media reports (i.e. pp 315-316). In conclusion, I believe that your arguments serve to provide reasoned debate as to how a modern society can move forward.

Q. Now that Windows 8.1 has been released should I upgrade from Windows 8?
A. That's a very good question, and one which we covered recently at the
Special Topics SIG meeting of the Prescott Computer Society. It's true that
Microsoft 8.1 includes many changes and updates to Windows 8, not the least
of which is the return of the Start button. More on that in a bit.
The most significant changes in Windows 8.1 are to the Metro interface.
That's the new Start screen which features all those tiles. Many of the apps
that are standard on Windows 8 have been upgraded to make them friendlier
and more functional. And the Metro interface is improved, allowing you to
change the size of (some of) the tiles on the screen. Plus you can make your
Metro background the same as your desktop wallpaper, so it seems more
familiar. The tiles can be more easily moved about and resized, so you can
better personalize the screen. The Search function has been improved, so
that it now not only searches your computer but the internet as well, via
Bing of course.
Another change is that you can now tell Windows 8.1 to boot directly to the
desktop rather than to the Start (Metro) screen. There you will find the new
Start Button. However … left click on it and it takes you to the Metro Start
screen, not the traditional Start Menu from Windows 7 and earlier. Right
click on it gives you back such goodies as Control Panel, Device Manager,
File Explorer and Shutdown.
Windows 8 and 8.1 are faster to start up and shut down than Windows 7, so
that's good. And with the addition of some software – such as
Classic Shell (free) or
Start8 ($5, my
favorite), you can bring back the Start Menu and remove some of 8.1's more
annoying traits. Only time will tell if Microsoft's attempt to glue together
a touch screen (tiled) interface to the classic desktop will be successful.
But these programs can make things less painful while we await the verdict.

Is Recalling Always Good?–The Possible Dangers of Recalling
The act of recalling–we do it so casually and frequently without much thought; whether it's recalling questions from an exam when you are discussing with friends questions you couldn't figure out, or subconsciously remembering what the acquaintance was like while hearing rumors about him/her. Recalling might not be all so good–at least not as much as we might think it is. We don't usually question the accuracy of the information we take in. However, it turns out to be that the accuracy of information becomes important, especially after the act of recalling (retrieving any information from memory). Through recalling an event, we enhance our ability to take in new information relevant to the event; if the new information is an accurate account of the event, our accuracy on the memory of the event is enhanced, but if the information is misleading or wrong, we take in the misleading information into our memory as well as we do of an accurate event. In the case of discussing an exam question with a friend, if the friend gives you inaccurate information, your possibly accurate prior memory could be "overwritten" with the wrong information your friend just provided. And in the case of hearing a rumor about an acquaintance, you could have a positive memory about the person before, but because of the rumor, which might be right or wrong, your memory could paint a new picture of him/her over the positive image that you used to have. Without being aware, we are making ourselves susceptible to taking in misinformation through just a simple act of recall. This could become very problematic at times; especially in eyewitness testimonies where their account makes a huge impact on what could be decided in court.

How satisfied are you with our online help?*
Just these help pages, not phone support or the product itself
Why did you give this rating?
Anything else you want to tell us about the help?
When you're reconciling a bank account, an out of balance amount tells you that something isn't quite right. So you need to work out what's gone wrong.
Checking your reconciliation
Here are some things to look out for:
- did you type the correct figure in the Closing Statement Balance field? You need to type the closing balance from your bank statement, not the opening balance.
- did you enter the correct date (that of the closing balance from your bank statement) in the Bank Statement Date field? An incorrect date may prevent some transactions from appearing in the list.
- did you select all the transactions that appear on the bank statement? If not, some transactions might not have been accounted for in the reconciled balance.
- did you select, by mistake, a transaction that didn't appear on your bank statement? If yes, you need to deselect this transaction.
- did you record all bank charges and bank interest entries that appear on the bank statement? If not, you need to record them and select them for reconciliation.
has the opening balance of the bank account been changed? If it has, you'll need to change it back to its original value. You might need to restore an early backup to check the account's original opening balance.
- has a previously reconciled transaction been deleted or reversed? If it has, re-enter it then select it in the Reconcile Accounts window when performing the reconciliation.
Checking the Calculated Statement Balance
If you've checked all the things listed above and your reconciliation still doesn't balance, it might relate to an incorrectly displayed Calculated Statement Balance in the Reconcile Accounts window. This is a rare issue and only affects what's displayed in this window, and doesn't impact your company file data. Here's a quick check to see if this is your issue:
- On the Reconcile Accounts window:
- Enter the closing date of your latest bank statement in the Bank Statement Date field.
- Enter $0.00 in the Closing Statement Balance field.
- Select all transactions as cleared and take note of the Calculated Statement Balance.
- Go to Find Transactions > Accounts tab.
- Select the bank account you're trying to reconcile.
- Enter the closing date of your latest bank statement in both the Dated From and To fields.
- Press the TAB key on your keyboard and take note of the Ending Balance in the bottom-right of the screen.
If the Ending Balance is the same as the Calculated Statement Balance, it's fine. If not, you'll need to contact MYOB for help (Australia 1300 555 123 or New Zealand 0508 328 283).
Undoing a reconciliation
If your issue relates to a previous reconciliation (perhaps a transaction was incorrectly reconciled, or a wrong date was used) and you haven't been able to fix these issues, try undoing the last reconciliation. All transactions for that period will return to an unreconciled state, and you'll need to reconcile them again using the previous bank statement.
- Go to the Banking command centre and click Reconcile Accounts. The Reconcile Accounts window appears.
- In the Account field, enter the account for which you want to undo the reconciliation.
Click Undo Reconciliation. The Undo Last Reconciliation window appears, confirming the account and date of the reconciliation you are undoing.
Undoing a bank reconciliation can't be reversed, so it's strongly suggested you click Back Up to create a backup before proceeding.
- Click Undo Reconciliation. A confirmation window appears.
- Click OK. The Reconcile Accounts window reappears.

This sermon was preached at All Saints midweek Eucharist & St. Andrew's Evensong on Wednesday 1st July & Sunday 5th July 2015 respectively. The readings were 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10; 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 and Mark 6:1-13.
This week I heard two renditions of Amazing Grace within 12 hours of each other. Not a very dramatic opening, I know, being a vicar & all. The first was the amazing clip of Barak Obama, arguably the most powerful leader in the western world, breaking into a rendition of the hymn as he delivered the eulogy of Reverend Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the Mother Emanuel church in Charleston who was among the 9 Christians murdered there recently. The second was the choir of St. Anthony's school at the official opening of the groundworks at St. Peter's on Monday.
The two renditions were very different. To say the President's singing wasn't in the same league is to underplay how good the young ladies of St. Anthony's were – it's more accurate to say they weren't even playing the same sport. But what Mr Obama lacked in tuning he made up for in passion, using the hymn as a rallying point to call out the names of the others killed in the attack & speak of their faith & the Grace they had received from their heavenly father.
It was interesting to have these two experiences of the same piece of music – the President's at the end of a period of great sadness and tragedy for a community, the students at the beginning of a new phase at St. Peter's, hopefully bringing new life to our community.
And I guess hearing them so close to each other got me thinking – it's inclusion in both these events reminds us of the amazing gift of grace we have available to us through a relationship with Jesus Christ. You see, however clichéd it sounds, we all know full well that throughout our lives we have highs and lows, times of great joy and greater sorrow.
We missed St. Paul out last Sunday, as he shares St. Peter's feast day, but it is his words we just heard, written originally for the people of Corinth but echoing through the ages to ring true for us today, that remind us of the power of God's grace in our lives. Whoever we are, however weak we feel, however battered we have been by life's storms, however distant we may feel from God at times, He is right here with us.
That's part of the story of the incarnation – God rolling up His sleeves and getting in amongst our pain, our struggles and sticking by us throughout, enfolding us in His undying love; God rejoicing with us in the good times & giving us the strength to find out and actively seek to be the people He has called us to be, and help others do the same.
We may not feel worthy of this grace. It's OK, we're not. If we were – if we could earn our salvation solely by ourselves, we would not have needed Jesus sacrifice made once for all upon the cross. You see, President Obama's singing was beautiful and inspiring not because of his voice but because of the heart and message he was conveying. Our lives are blessed by God, not because we are perfect but because we are the crown of His creation and as long as we seek to live in Him He lives in us; as we look to forgive we ourselves are forgiven; as we seek to bring people to know and love Christ our knowledge and love of Him deepens.
"Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind but now I see!"

Zynga prepares for zombie apocalypse, readies ZombieSmash! on Google Play
The Zombie outbreak has begun to spread…across platforms. Today, Zynga welcomes its first official zombie game with ZombieSmash! on Google Play. Currently available in Canada on Google Play, ZombieSmash! is an action-packed castle defense game where players flick and smash herds of unrelenting zombies until they're dead.
Well, technically zombies are already dead, but this makes them un-undead. Wait. Wouldn't that make them alive? Never mind. You get the point.
ZomebieSmash! will be available globally on Google Play this week. The game offers sophisticated ragdoll physics combined with the propriety SplatterEngine™ to create cartoon blood and gore that is both adorable and cathartic — all at the same time (trust us, it's true). To keep the good fight against zombies interesting, players have access to over 30 upgrades and special weapons including asteroids, wrecking balls, liquid nitrogen and gigantic rolling boulders, which can be used individually or in combination for endless, gory entertainment.
ZombieSmash! will be available in eight languages and features four different game modes, giving zombie hunters the freedom to choose how they would like to dismember the undead.
As the saying that we just made up goes, there is more than one way to skin a zombie.
Game modes include:
- Campaign Mode: Challenges players to survive for over 31 intense days against the mounting zombie threat and another 30 nights in the Camp Nowhere campaign
- Endless Siege Mode: Confronts players with a never-ending zombie assault – hold out as long as possible, racking up an ever-rising body count
- Sandbox Mode: Gives players all the tools to rain destruction down on those stinking, moaning, godless zombies without any of the peril
- Bonus Nights: Smash and destroy zombies in new ways. Unlock this special mode through extended gameplay and by using your braaains!
ZombieSmash! on Google Play will come bundled with live wallpaper and is also optimized for tablet devices. Bringing ZombieSmash! to Google Play is a part of Zynga Mobile's focus to create social, high-quality and multi-platform games.
In celebration of our first zombie game, we also had some fun with our friends at Google. Check out the cool time-lapsed video below to see the friendly Android get "zombified," Zynga style. We've also got some great zombie eye candy from the game, too.
The zombie apocalypse will soon be upon us. Go forth and smash zombies on Android devices in the coming days. If iOS is more your thing, the game is also currently available on the App Store.

File manager
A file manager is a character-mode or GUI interface to common CLI file and disk management tools, either directly, by serving as a front-end and calling on those tools, or functionally, by performing the same or similar operations internally. Historically, DOS's command line was rather poor and many users sought file managers for some relief. In UNIX, with its powerful and flexible command line, file managers didn't receive as much focus. Hence, most modern Linux file managers are modeled on DOS twin-panel file managers (for example, Krusader and Midnight Commander from Norton Commander - the classic twin-panel style); or they are modeled on Windows file managers (such as, Konqueror and Nautilus from Windows Explorer - the tree-style). While no substitute for the command line, they can make basic file management and certain tiresome repetitive operations more enjoyable.
File managers, or at least GUI-based ones, are also called file browsers. File browsers and web browsers share surprising large amounts of code, and file browsers and web browsers are largely interchangeable. (Try typing file:/// into the address bar of your web browser or file:///C:/ if your using windows)
Specific applications
- Norton Commander Style
- Directory Opus/DirMaster Style
- Windows Explorer Style
- Unconventional Style

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds So the wonderful thing about infertility treatment is that it has helped millions of couples worldwide have children. But what about if they carry a genetic abnormality? So we have patients that have things like cystic fibrosis or Beta thalassemia and they want to have a child who's not got these diseases. So this is where pre-implantation genetic diagnosis comes in. It is a technique where we use IVF procedures. The couple go through IVF as normal and we generate the embryos in the lab and then we are going to biopsy these embryos. We are going to take one or two cells from these early embryos, do our genetic test for the disease that we are looking for like cystic fibrosis.
Skip to 0 minutes and 31 seconds And then we can tell which embryos are free from the disease and we can transfer those embryos back into the woman's womb so they start the pregnancy knowing that the embryos are free from the disease that they are carrying. So it is a great opportunity for couples carrying genetic disease to start that pregnancy knowing the embryo is free from the disease. When we started PGD in the early 90's we really only looked for the one disease that the couple were carrying. Or if they had something wrong with their chromosomes we only look for that specific chromosome abnormality.
Skip to 1 minute and 2 seconds And even then it sometimes used to take two or three years to develop a test which was actually then quite specific for that couple. But as the technology has changed we are now using, at the moment DNA chips, and also moving onto sequencing, where really we apply the same tests to any couple, no matter what disorder they are coming in with so next generation sequencing, at the moment we are just as I said looking at the chromosomes, but within a few years we will be doing quite deep sequencing and we will be able to use this test to look at any genetic abnormality.
Skip to 1 minute and 32 seconds But it will also tell us a lot about the embryo that is not related to a specific disease. We will be able to look at characteristics such as predisposition to height predisposition to cancer genes, all sorts of interesting things which bring up a lot of ethical discussions. We want the new phone we want the new car, we want technology and it is going to happen. So ethically, I have some issues about a stage where we would do PGD for every embryo or where we would genetically modify our embryos. So this is something that with different professional groups, we have been debating and writing papers on. But I think it will happen no matter what objections an individual might have.
Skip to 2 minutes and 13 seconds There are different rules and regulations in different countries of the world. So in the UK we are governed by the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, and we have strict regulations about what techniques we can and cannot offer to our patients. But in other countries they have different rules and there is also different availability of treatment. There are different costs of treatment. If we put fertility treatment in different countries in Google you will come up with all sorts of interesting things. You can go to Barbados and have sun, sea and fertility treatment. You can win IVF holidays in different countries. An ethical issue that comes up in PGD is that we can sex the embryos.
Skip to 2 minutes and 47 seconds The techniques that we use now chances are we will know the sex of the embryo as well. If we use a DNA chip or a next generation sequencing for sure we will know the sex of the embryo. In the UK, and actually in Europe, it's illegal to choose the sex of the embryo unless there is a medical reason. But there are clinics in other countries outside Europe that are doing this to a huge level. So there are clinics in Cyprus, Russia, all over the world that are doing sex selections. So this is where a couple decide that they want to have a child of a particular sex. And low and behold what sex do you think they normally want?
Skip to 3 minutes and 21 seconds They normally want a boy. The trouble with having a girl, even in 2016 and onwards, is that a girl will cost money to educate and then when she gets married, in many cultures we have to give a dowry, and then what will happen is in most cultures she then leaves the family home and goes to the husband's home. So there is no one to look after the parents older age. So even today, having a girl is not economic sense in many cultures. And it still happens in India and other countries where it is the birth of a girl everyone is very sad, when it is the birth of a boy everyone is having a party in the maternity ward.
Skip to 4 minutes and 1 second So, PGD worldwide, especially in the developing world where this is more of a problem, people are selecting boys. And this has caused a massive problem in a number of countries, not just PGD but also other reasons why girl pregnancies are either aborted when they find the sex when the woman is already pregnant, or even worse when the children are born and the girls are either put up for adoption, and taken to an orphanage or even worse they are actually just left to die. So this does happen globally. In China, in India, we have apparently millions about 17 million more boys than girls in both of these countries.
Skip to 4 minutes and 42 seconds And if you speak to people from China, for sure, they've just removed the single child policy and that is because in a lot of areas they just don't have enough girls anymore to get married and to have a family. So actually it is really having a negative effect now on the population of those countries. And there is a fantastic novel called, 'The First Century After Beatrice", which is a sort of science fiction novel where a pill is given to a woman and then she can't have any more girls, she can only have boys. And globally when it is done to such an extent it causes a massive economic population problem.
Skip to 5 minutes and 15 seconds But we are there in some countries already, in some pockets of countries where we have a huge excess of males compared to females. So this needs a whole education of how we can move forward. But if we get to a stage where more people are reproducing by PGD because of the advantage that selecting your embryos with sequencing may have or even editing your embryos, we could really end up with a huge issue.
Promise and perils of PGD
Science is forever moving forward. What was new a few years ago, is today taken for granted. New targets are set, and when these are reached, a new horizon of possibilities beckons.
This is true for PGD, which after 25 years now enable us to test for over 250 genetic abnormalities. And as we have seen, we can now already test for risk genes, and select the embryo with the best genetic chances.
Professor Joyce Harper was part of the original team that developed the technology of PGD in the early 1990, and she has worked in the field of embryology and IVF for almost three decades.
Here, she highlights how rapidly the technology is evolving in this field, with possible future applications. Some of these are worrying, and the question remains: whose responsibility is it to direct the progress of the science?
For your discussion: Joyce Harper describes a potential future where genetic testing will be more prevalent and where PGD is used not only to minimise disease-burden but to create a certain kind of child (for example, a boy). Do you think this is a real worry in some parts of the world? How close are we to such a future?

Ithaca "Wild Game Night" at City Beer Hall (5/16/12 in Albany, NY)
It's time for my second beer dinner in less than a week! This time it's a lot more local as City Beer Hall is only a few miles from me in the heart of downtown Albany. They host a "Wild Game Night" beer night once a month where they pair a craft brewery's beers with literally wild game - venison, rabbit, quail, boar, etc. This time it was with one of New York's better brewery's Ithaca, and they were pouring a few of their rarer beers. How was the food pairing? Watch and find out!

Bushwick hipsters kicked to the curb
The Department of Buildings Thursday issued vacate orders for residents living in a Bushwick building that they say contained illegal apartments.
DOB officials say a four-story commercial building on Broadway in Bushwick was illegally converted into 20 apartments on three seperate floors.
The department issued numerous violations to the building owner, including ones for illegal plumbing and not having a sprinkler system.
The building is now locked and nobody is being allowed in. Residents say they were given no warning this was coming.
The C of O says the building has 6 legal dwelling units.
26 comments:
Crappy, envy doesn't become you. These aren't hipsters. They are young kids starting out in life who were swindled and then flung out into the street.
I know of many of us who have had our buildings illegally and improperly altered. We are waiting for the collapse or the sudden knock that moves us into the street.

Damn. You figured me out. I envy Bushwick people who live in illegal apartments 1/3 of the size of what they are supposed to be with illegal plumbing.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
I've been inside some of those illegal Bushwick art studio/apartments near Montrose Ave..
Residents often throw underground (serving booze etc.) parties to help raise the next month's rent.
It's sad to see that NYC doesn't offer much to these "kids" in the way of reasonable rents but the living condition in some of these artist communes is downright dangerous.
Better to be kicked to the curb than be carried out as a burn victim on a gurney...or far worse...in a body bag to a waiting mortuary van!
Do their parents know about their children's digs or even bother visiting them to check them out?
Irresponsible behavior has no age limit.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
IF THESE ARENT HIPSTERS then I dont know what is.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
I lived there for 10 years. I am 39 years old. I run a huge photography studio in NYC and work 15 plus hours a day. I have never thrown a "rent party"
Illegal plumbing is regular plumbing put in by a non certified plumber.. guess what you might have the same in your walls.
Sorry people being evicted in the heat of an early summer morning with no notice dont look professional enough for you guys. I might have put on my suit but had to search in a panic for my passport and birth certificate instead.
How do you look at your house on your day off? I was at work already when they came to kick us out, as where 75% of the people who cant get back into their HOMES. Whats up with with everyone being so judgmental?
We are citizens just like you that got seriously screwed over unlawful landlords. How about some compassion?
- Friday, August 07, 2009
Well now they are homeless and i guess they qualify for one of those 1 way tickets.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
Do you folks not understand that the C of O was for 6 apartments and there were 20 here? We're talking 1905 tenement conditions. And yesterday morning was quite cool.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
How would you know the conditions? My apartment is over 2000 square feet with 11 floor to ceiling windows. A palace to most. There are 3 building that where opened into 1 and all the lofts are amazing.
You have nothing factual or helpful to contribute coupled with no compassion.... charming.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
What do you think is higher in population? Illegal renters in that building, or lice in the beard of that douche in the picture?

Hey now I am beginning to understand why power fails and streets flood after strong rain. Too many people living in the underground, not enough infrastructure.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
But I do agree that I am much happier to know these things will be fixed, my dear friends and co tenants wont be carried out on gurneys due to missing fire safely precautions and the landlords will be brought to trial by our tenant union.

[no illegal plumbing is just that, plumbing not up to code or put in by someone unqualifed]
guess what you might have the same in your walls
[no i dont].
Sorry people being evicted in the heat of an early summer morning with no notice dont look professional enough for you guys.
[its a cool summer and august is late summer]
I might have put on my suit but had to search in a panic for my passport and birth certificate instead.

[homes to you, illegal crowded apartments that is exhibit #1 as to why power grids fail - having no juice because of you is exhibit #1 on why you piss me off]
Whats up with with everyone being so judgmental?
[see above - four times the garbage that should be in front of the buildings is another big plus, too]
We are citizens just like you that got seriously screwed over unlawful landlords.
[ignoring the law sets you up sonny, now step up to the plate and take you medicine like a big boy]
How about some compassion?
[how about zero population growth?
bike lanes, tower people looking down on me and squeezeing resources from my community is not the way to win votes in these parts]

:: shrugs :: I dont care either way about this. Alot of people judge these kids.... and although I dont put much thought into it, if your mad about them being judged, you have to remember this: Alot of these little semi-hipster kats are from out of state, going to school or trying to find work in NYC. I dunno why these people dont read up on whats going on, but NYC is expensive and overcrowded. Move the fuck out of NY if you dont like it. I've been here all my life and have a huge apartment with no problems because I did not chose to leave my hometown before I had my shit together. If you want to "live the dream" then you gotta take what comes with it and that includes trying to squeeze into neighborhoods that people are clamoring to profit from because of gentrification. Compassion is an expensive commodity in this city. Noone cares about where the fuck it is until they need it. These kids are blind to the world until shit like this happens then everyone is up in arms about it... its been going on for puertoricans blacks and the polish for decades
- Friday, August 07, 2009
My point is that the landlord is a thief and a crook who endangered these kids lives. I don't want them insulted because someone ripped them off. I would happily cook their landlord in a big pot and serve him to rats if I could.
- Friday, August 07, 2009
I just want to know why the city took action on this building, while the illegal conversion - and continuing illegal construction work - on 239 Banker continues unabated. Brokers are in front of that building every day. More and more people are going in and out of that building every day. That elevator is an accident waiting to happen. I don't want to know what the egress is like, and I imagine that the kids living there haven't stopped to figure out how they would get out of the building in a fire.
But it's in Greenpoint, so the city's going to turn a blind eye and say things like "INSPECTOR COULD NOT ACCESS BUILDING" even though you can see air conditioners, flower boxes, and window treatments. It's clear people are living there.

Wow, what a bunch of judgmental prigs. What is with the "kids" label? I also lived in that building for 2 years in 2000, I am 36, trust fundless, and educated myself by putting myself through school.
No one, including myself, was aware that is wasn't up to code. That was never discussed during the interview or signing of the lease. My friend who has lived in that apartment for 10 years is correct. How in the hell does anyone truly know what their landlord is up to? If the plumbing is up to code, who put it in, if the fire code is correct?
And as for that "douche" with the beard. He is a man, in his mid-thirties, with a Master's Degree, who put himself through college and passes stools smarter than you.
I have never met any hipsters who live in this building. Everyone I know is in their 30s and 40s and are anything but hipsters.
Judgmental A$$HOLES! This truly could happen to any of you.

Very simple. You look up the C of O. You look up how many units the place is authorized to have. Then you count.

Yes, I'm sure all New York tenants take trips down to City Hall to look up their buildings C of O when they have had no reason to suspect something foul.
Everyone is one step from the street in NYC. Yes, including everyone who has commented on this blog. Just remember that when you're on the Greyhound headed for your parent's home on your 40th birthday.

You can look them up online. In fact, I linked to the one for this building in this post.
Excuse FAILS.
- Tuesday, August 25, 2009
- Richard Fox said...
Who is using excuses? There was no reason to inquire. Simple. There were no tell-tale signs that warranted this.
My friend has lived their for 10 years without any problems with the building or landlord. Why would she investigate the plumbing. Who does that?
Besides, the property was broken up as two properties 3 Belvidere and the Broadway address. She receives her mail and rent invoice at the Belvidere address. So inquiring into the Broadway C of O would have made no sense. Stop blaming the victims!
I suppose, Kitty Genovese had it coming too?
- Tuesday, August 25, 2009
- Queens Crapper said...
It's your responsibility to investigate a place before you move in. It is the landlord's responsibility ultimately for the problems in the building, but being ignorant is not an excuse. And illegal plumbing is not what shut this place down. It was a six-unit building converted into 20 units.
- Tuesday, August 25, 2009

If that guy in the photo is not the epitome of an inbred hipster yuppie transplant then I don't know what is. And the fact that you're all 'in your 30s and 40s' just makes the situation even more pathetic. Any grown adult who voluntarily puts himself into such a living situation (probably paying exorbitant rent too) just to live in a 'trendy' neighborhood can't have more than two brain cells to rub together.
Why don't you try giving up the Brooklyn transplant Peter Pan act, start taking care of your responsibilities like an adult, and grow the hell up. No one forced you 'gifted' clowns to follow the hipster-yuppie Pied Piper here from Pennsatucky just to act like spoiled children in a neighborhood full of actual working people who are struggling to get by. The only people who take you seriously are yourselves. Trust me.

The "anonymous" hater troll on here is this loser who goes by the handle "parkslopeyuppytoilet" who also frequently comments on the www.diehipster.com site. If you google him, you'll see that he does nothing but write negative comments about topics like this 24/7. There are literally HUNDREDS of references to his posts. He's nothing more than a borderline mentally unstable social reject who hates everyone and everyone, and nothing he says can be taken seriously. He also has a collection of dubious youtube videos from what I've heard. There is clearly something missing in his life for him to feel the need to do this all day and night.
