Cradle of the Christ (Notice)
5. — The Cradle of the Christ: A Study of Primitive Christianity. By Octavius Brooks Frothingham. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. 8vo.
As regards seriousness of purpose, importance of subject, and charm of diction this book is to be classed with such works as " Ecce Homo " and " Literature and Dogma;" but, in the time which has already elapsed since its publication, it is made evident that the somewhat eager reception accorded to those works is not to be accorded to this. It is to be regretted that it could not have come to us from across the water, with some little mystification as to authorship, and backed by a trans-Atlantic reputation. The experiment were worth trying, had it been possible. Mr. Frothingham is a bite noir to so respectable a portion of the reading public that his writings must fare as fares any cause presented to a hostile tribunal. If the court knows itself, and respects itself, it will give no countenance to so revolutionary utterances.
But the experiment would be impracticable, for the authorship of Mr. Frothingham's books could not be hidden; they need no autograph ; and its absence from the title page could give rise to no mystification while on all the other pages its presence is so pronounced.
Mr. Frothingham's rather flippant treatment of other essays in the department of Christology may, however, partially reconcile the evenminded reader to the unjust indifference of the public towards himself. Why not serve him up with his own sauce ? Why not include his own works with those others, and dismiss his own claim to attention as lightly as he dismisses the claims of others, saying with him : " Books have been written about the New Testament by the thousand, — libraries of books ; but they merely supplant and refute one another. Each is entitled to as much consideration as the rest, and to no more " ? This is substantially one more book about the New Testament. Are we, then, to concede off-hand that a prophet has come to judgment at last ? In view of a self-assurance so sublime, and in defence of the splendid literature so carelessly contemned, one is sorely tempted to condone the public inhospitality. But the book must still be judged on its merits. And it is to be said, moreover, that this dictum of our author is not quite so complacent as it seems, standing alone. He may fairly claim, and impliedly does claim, that his own work is exempted from the judgment thus flung broadcast upon the works of others by reason of its different method. Whereas those have been written from the standpoint of supernaturalism, this is not so written. Those were dogmatic; this is literary. In dogmatism all is confusion, — mere assertion and refutation. The literary method, on the other hand, gives promise of definite result. There is, therefore, neither praise nor blame. It is not in the man that walketh to direct his steps; all is of the method which the spirit of the age permits him to grasp.
The literary method, as employed by the author, leads straight to one result sufficiently definite to alienate the great majority of Biblereaders from his present undertaking: " The literary laws forbid under these circumstances our reading the gospel narratives as authentic histories,— constrain us, in fact, to read them, in some sort, as disquisitions, making allowance, as we go along, for the infusion of doctrinal elements." This statement involves the fundamental premise of the whole work. Here must the opponent make a stand, if he would not incontinently yield himself or flee. When we have once surrendered the notion of a special inspiration of some sort exempting the New Testament from literary treatment, will our next step place us by the side of our author ? If so, we shall be quite likely to go with him the rest of the way. It surely is not far to his inference that " the actual Jesus is inaccessible to scientific research."
At any rate, by this statement the author opens wide the way for the enterprise of tracing the origin and development of the Christ-idea; the book is partially devoted to that undertaking. But it is also " a study of primitive Christianity." Unfortunately the two subjects thus indicated only lap marginally one upon the other ; they are not coincident ; for the most part an excursion into one involves a departure from the other, so that the reader finds himself unwittingly attempting the feat of being in two places at the same time; or, seeking to read with undivided mind, he is put to the labor of assorting the author's material, and discovering for himself — a task not always easy — what has reference to the principal thesis and what to the sub-titular " study."
The " Cradle of the Christ " was the Hebrew hope of a national deliverer. The Messianic faith of the earlier disciples pertained to the prevailing Jewish conceptions of the period. The " Son of Man " of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, " their Pauline elements being eliminated,"' does not transcend the requirements of the common expectation. Jesus does but repeat with persuasive lips what the law-givers of his race had proclaimed. " He is a radical Pharisee, who has at heart the enfranchisement of his people." He is made a native of Galilee, " the insurgent district of the country;" is associated with Bethlehem, the city of David, and laboriously connected with the royal line; is represented by frequent iteration as fulfilling Old Testament anticipations; and is formally welcomed by John the Baptist, himself thoroughly imbued with the popular Messianic expectation. The story of the Temptation is patterned after incidents in the career of Moses. The story of the Transfiguration derives its point from the introduction of the law-giver and prophet of the old dispensation. The phrase " kingdom of heaven," as used by Jesus, was interpreted into conformity with the common expectation, as describing the reign of a prince of David's line. It was expected that the Messiah would work miracles, and Jesus is made to fulfil that expectation. His moral precepts are in character with his position, echoes of ancient ethical law. His religious beliefs are the ordinary beliefs of his age and people, nor does his conception of his office differ materially from that of his countrymen.
The Pauline phase of Christianity is put also under the lineage of Hebrew thought. Paul's religious belief was not altered by his conversion. He was a Messianic believer before that crisis and after it. His writings thoroughly reflect the speculations of the Talmud. His teachings do not go beyond the times of Jewish thought.
In the fourth gospel — the Johannean authorship of which is unqualifiedly denied — " vestiges of the popular Jewish conception appear but faintly here and there." But the conception underlying the representation of Christ as the Logos — the conception of the divine reason personified — was of ancient date, and had worked its way into the substance of Jewish thought. " Here is already the germ of a trinity maturing within the bosom of the Hebrew monotheism. The process has been simple ; the consecutive steps have been inevitable. But in the process the solid ground of Judaism has been left; the massive substance of the ancient faith has been melted into cloud."
To the Christ-idea thus formed in the East the West gave currency; made it the central feature of a vast religious system ; crowned it, and placed it on a throne. There is a supplementary chapter in which are considered the claims of Jesus to a place in history. Throughout his work the author distinguishes between Jesus and the Christ. The Christ-idea has had obviously an historical development; the historical status of Jesus is another question, — a question which his subject does not oblige him to touch upon, but which he is not unwilling to consider in deference to the reader's probable expectation. He doubts if such a person as Jesus is presumed to have been was necessary to account for the existence of the religion afterwards called Christian. " As an impelling force he was not required, for his age was throbbing and bursting with suppressed energy." "J^sus is not necessary to account for the ethics of the New Testament. They were, as has been said, the native ethics of Judaism unqualified." He concludes that " no clearly defined traces of the personal Jesus remain on the surface, or beneath the surface, of Christendom." " The image of Jesus, has been irrecoverably lost." "The person of Jesus, though it may have been immense, is indistinct. That a great character was there may be conceded; but precisely wherein the character was great is left to our conjecture."
We have sufficiently indicated the general scope of the volume before us. What is the bearing of this argument upon the common faith of to-day ? Does it tend to invalidate the claims of Christianity ? The author affirms that it does not. He separates religion from criticism, and divests the subject in hand of religious implications. He disclaims all purpose or desire " to undermine Christianity." He believes that religion is independent of history, and that Christianity is independent of the New Testament. Any system of religion must stand on its merits, — that is to say, its uses. " The church that arrogates for itself the right to control the spiritual concerns of the modern world must not plead in justification of its pretension that it satisfied the requirements of devout people in another hemisphere two thousand years ago." " Christianity must prove its adaptation to the hour that now is; its adaptation to days gone by is not to the purpose." In short, " a church that does not bless mankind cannot be saved, and a church that does bless mankind cannot be destroyed."
This is well and truly said. The question remains, however: Are the author's conclusions just and true ? That question must be referred to the reader's judgment. It must not be concealed, however, that the book has much the appearance of an ex parte statement. And this may be said without imputing to the author either wilful reservations or conscious partisanship. The fault is in his stars; he is apparently equipped with organs to discern very clearly the under side of things. Towards sentiment, which gives presentiment of an upper side, his attitude is indulgent, but not sympathetic. " Sentiment is conservative. The poetic feeling detains in picturesque form the ideas which, if exposed to the clear action of intelligence, would be rejected as unsubstantial." Must we, then, reject as unsubstantial ideas that are not wholly clear to intelligence ? Possibly; but if the reader of this work is not prepared to concede that whatever is undemonstrable is unworthy of regard, and that there is no verity in the unverifiable, he must apprehend that a mind intolerant of the undemonstrable and unverifiable will ignore some aspects of a religion that are essential to its complete presentation.
While the author is indulgent towards sentiment, in regard to the flat-footed class of writers and speakers his utterance is more decided. " The acute, unimaginative, determined minds, impatient of the mists, however beautiful, that conceal knowledge, clear a way for the homes and gardens of the new generations." It may be fairly doubted, however, whether a mind that is impatient of the mists that veil in mystery the sources of religious sentiment and devotion (mists that no impatience, or science either, ever can dispel); a mind that is only " acute, unimaginative, determined,"—is fully qualified for a fair estimate of the sources and sanctions of the Christ-idea.
However this may be, the unbroken terrestrial tenor of the work must give it an appearance of one-sidedness, even to impartial readers. The mental prepossession is too apparent to be questioned. After following out this theory that the Christ came up, born of a nation's mood and nurtured by political emergencies, one feels that, though the case is well made out on that side, — or because it is, — an advocate should be immediately heard upon the other side, in favor of the alternative — or rather supplementary — hypothesis that the Christ came down "from above."
The questionable prepossession now referred to appears distinctly in the following allusion to Jesus : " If the time ever comes when his lineaments are fully revealed to sight, he will be found not much greater nor much better than his generation justified." The theory here, it is noticeable, is essentially identical with the theory concerning the Christ-idea, and the doubtful character of this reflects doubt upon that. What is the maximum limit under this rule ? Does Shakspere, for example, transcend the limit ? If he does, so perhaps may Jesus ; if he does not, the rule would seem to have no application; it would be difficult, to say the least, to adjust the proportion between Shakspere and "his generation."
The stature of soul is not to be estimated in that way. And it is a supposition not to be altogether ignored that, whether through special inspiration from on high, or through a fortuitous concurrence of atomic felicities, or through a happy combination of ancestral gifts, the soul of Jesus attained such stature that he himself was able to lift the Jewish notion of a Deliverer to the sublimity of the Christ-idea.

It has been surprising to talk to the attendees of the PDC about blogging and participation in communities. Most don't seem to have blogs, but have lots of things to talk about. Most like the concept of Geekswithblogs.net after reading our bag insert and we have had a lot of registrations. But, there are a number of them who just want to read the blogs and we are completely ok with that. Our goal out here has been to register more bloggers who are interested in these new technologies Microsoft is announcing and help expose Geekswithblogs.net to a new audience of potential readers and bloggers. We feel we have been very successful doing that here.
Having Chris and D'Arcy out here has been a lot of fun. You haven't heard much from Chris because he has been recording videos like crazy and hopefully we will see some of those popup today.
Well, it is time to get back over there. I want to thank all our new bloggers for joining and please let me know if you see any problems with the site and we will try to get them resolved quickly.

These are a rare thing these days but Ibrox Noise noted with interest the wide praise given to former Rangers star Neil McCann for his work in developing Glen Kamara from the youth player to the growingly confident senior star he is becoming.
While it took the Finn a little time to perform to the level we expect on the site, his display against Easter Road showed most vividly his success in transforming from a tender young lamb into a player who can very much be described as in the mould of N'Golo Kante.
And while his youth spell with Arsenal has a part to play, evidently McCann has been the biggest influence in cultivating the best out of the former Dundee man, their time together on Tayside forging an extremely potent unit indeed.
Indeed, the former Rangers winger was the one to bring Kamara north from Arsenal's Academy, and Kamara vividly credits him with making him the player he is today:
"He allowed me to express myself and I think I've done that. His quality was that he gave confidence to players and let them do what they could do on the pitch. He told me when I arrived to show people what I could do I didn't find it all that different from down south, maybe a bit quicker."
His new manager agrees:
"He's been well coached at Arsenal, and I also think I have to mention Neil McCann who I think has done an excellent job in taking him from academy football to the next level and introducing him to the real world. Dundee not only gave him the opportunity to play in front of crowds, but in Neil he had a manager who hasn't tried to change his game in terms of playing forward and getting on second balls, even though you need those basics of the game. He's improved his passing range and he's been coached in a system that really suits the Rangers way, maybe without Neil knowing it. I have to give Neil McCann credit because I like the way he coaches and the way he plays the game. It's similar to what we're trying to do here."
While McCann himself is extremely modest and takes little credit:
"He's a brilliant boy. He's also so laidback he's bordering on horizontal at times and that's a big advantage if you want to be a guy who keeps the ball under pressure. Glen could play in the English Premier League no problem. He could go into a side with higher quality around him and fit right into that level. That's how good he is."
But the reality is if you have a coach believing in you and giving you freedom to play your way, you're going to develop quickly, with his stabilisers there to give a helping hand when you need it.
Kamara might not be quite the finished anchor man product yet at Ibrox, but he firmly got his foot in the first team door and hasn't looked out of place. We still rate Ross McCrorie hugely, but the way Kamara has recently started producing, McCrorie may have to wait a little longer to get his chance again.
And most of it is thanks to Neil McCann.

Its time for a new heroine - the Black Kung Fu Chick! I'm happy to support this ambitious coming-of-age web series featuring a black martial arts GIRL fighter. In a time where we don't often see positive images of women of color in the media, BKC is on the brink of showing black girls (and all girls!) that their gender and color does not limit them, and their hopes, dreams, desires & ambition is of value. Please support Rae and this project by contributing to the funding. All amounts are appreciated and each dollar is taking us one step closer to having this story told!
The digital revolution has unearthed a great volume of otherwise untold stories, but what it has lost in return is the discipline and responsibility of the visual language.
Black Kungfu Chick has always known that film had to be it's medium - it had to be - film allows you to focus on the greater picture. The respect from the moment the camera rolls until the director calls "cut!" is magic. Everything stops for that moment as you hear the faint rotation of the spools and cinema is being created.
A film emulsion is built with three layers of color, with the red layer the furthest away from the lens. This physical trait renders the red layer of a negative ever so slightly out of focus - creating a breathtaking result on human skin. Highlights roll off so naturally as the crystal halides respond chemically and non-linearly to changes in light. The nature of the beast of film allows you to pick up a camera and capture the story without being bogged down with scopes and monitors - all there to prevent unwanted digital artifacts and give immediate satisfaction.
I have been getting so many offers from people wanting to help us in the making of BKC. Much of this has to do with the decision to capture it photochemically. Film brings people together. It requires skill, education, diligence and trust. I guess you can say film is the Martial Art of filmmaking. That is something special on it's own.
Here is a trailer of Eli Arenson's cinematography on 35mm film - All These Voices:

I love when Spring comes back around, because it's one of my favorite seasons for beauty. While you can still do the bold lips from Winter, your overall beauty look is a little bit sweeter, which means soft pinks, purples and mauves are very on trend shades to play with.
Clarins recently released a new 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette, SOS Primer, and Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector in gorgeous shades that fall in line with Pantone's 2018 color of the year, and it's a fun collection to add to your makeup bag as we transition into the season.
The Lavender SOS primer helps with sallowness while also having a brightening effect, The Shadow Palette (Lovely Rose) can be used singularly for a simple wash of colors on the lids, or you can layer shades for a soft daytime smokey eye.
The colors are buildable (apply wet for more intensity), crease free, and don't budge. You can even use the darker shade to line your lower lashes in place of liner (I like to do this because liner tends to run on me when I apply it there). If the colors alone feel too intense, just use your contour powder as a transition shade in your crease to tone it down.
I usually wear matte or liquid lipsticks because I love really pigmented colors, but I'm always open to switching it up. The Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector gives a pretty wash of color; it's high shine and makes your lips really soft.
Adding their new products to my everyday makeup bag will give me so many options, especially when I need to go from day to night. o see more from Clarin's Makeup Collection, click here. If pinks and purple aren't your thing, they have 6 other palettes to choose from.
What are your favorite makeup shades to wear in the Spring?

Just like any other internship, the accounting internships are also very important. They are significant because they are preparing an intern for the future jobs that are awaiting him or her. It is an incredible platform for any intern to practice the skills that are taught and learnt back at the college. It becomes a great opportunity for students to distinguish between the theory learnt in class and the reality in the field. If you are an accounting student, you better look for an internship so as you can begin to build your career as soon as possible. There is a clear difference between the scholars who are engaged in the internships and those who are not. The ones who have been involved in the internships are more employable than their counterparts. This is because internship is known to add some value to the interns. The following are the benefits of the accounting fellowships;
- Job knowledge
- Resume enhancement
- Future employment
- Financial compensation
Job knowledge
If you want to confirm whether you will be able to enjoy your profession, you will know this when you are in your internship. Here you come to face the reality of what you have been studying in college. You will be able to differentiate between the abstract theories and come to face the real challenges. After some time, you will be able to learn important and necessary skills that are worth for you as far as the profession is concerned. There is no better learning than learning in a practical way. This is exactly what accounting scholarships are able to offer you as an intern.
Resume enhancement
In future after you are done with your studies, you are likely to seek for an employment. The resume plays a major role in the determination whether you are the right candidate or not. To ensure that you have an awesome resume, you must have engaged yourself in accounting internships at least at a given point in time. This will be able to develop your resume and make you stand a better chance of getting employed.
Future employment
The accounting internships gives an intern an opportunity to create a rapport with the other professionals who might help him or her in securing jobs in the future. While you are undertaking your internship, you will be able to create a network of professionals who can be very crucial in your securing of your future jobs. All you need to do is ensuring that you have gotten a better place to work so as you may gain as much experience as possible.
Financial compensation
Some internship pays interns. This will work best for you because as a student you could be facing some financial challenges. You will be able to use the money that you are paid to pay for your tuition fees and other college requirements. You do not need to rely on your parent so much; you need to start gaining some financial freedom as soon as possible.

New study shows Tdap vaccination during pregnancy can prevent whooping cough in babies
Less than half of pregnant women in the United States take advantage of vaccination
A new CDC study published today in Clinical Infectious Diseases reported that vaccination with whooping cough vaccine, Tdap, during the third trimester of pregnancy prevented more than three out of four (78 percent) cases of whooping cough (also known as pertussis) in babies younger than two months. However, only 49 percent of pregnant women who delivered between fall 2015 and spring 2016 received the vaccine. CDC recommends women get Tdap during each pregnancy to provide critical short-term protection to babies when they are most at risk for this life-threatening illness…
MMWR News Synopsis for September 28, 2017
:: Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel – United States, 2016-17 Influenza Season
CDC and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) recommend that all U.S. health care workers get vaccinated annually against influenza. CDC recommends that all health care personnel (HCP) receive an annual flu vaccination to reduce flu-related morbidity and mortality among HCP and their patients. We analyzed data from an internet panel survey to measure what proportion of HCP received the flu vaccine during the 2016-17 flu season. Based on the data:
:: 79 percent of survey respondents reported receiving vaccination, which is similar coverage during the past three flu seasons.
:: Vaccination coverage continued to be higher among HCP working in hospitals (92 percent) and lower among HCP working in ambulatory (76 percent) and long-term care settings (68 percent).
:: As in previous seasons, coverage was highest among HCP who were required by their employer to be vaccinated (97 percent) and lowest among HCP working in settings where vaccination was not required, promoted, or offered onsite (46 percent).
:: Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Pregnant Women – United States, 2016-17 Influenza Season
CDC recommends that pregnant women get a flu shot during any trimester of their pregnancy to protect themselves and their newborn babies from flu. Pregnant women are at risk for severe flu-associated illness and, since 2004, CDC has recommended flu vaccination for all women who are or will be pregnant during the flu season. We analyzed data from an internet panel survey to measure what proportion of pregnant women received the flu vaccine during the 2016-17 flu season. Based on the data:
:: 54 percent of pregnant women reported being vaccinated before (16 percent) or during (37 percent) pregnancy, which is similar to coverage during the past four flu seasons.
:: 67 percent of women reported receiving a provider offer for influenza vaccination, 12 percent received a recommendation but no offer, and 21 percent received no recommendation; among these women, influenza vaccination coverage was 71 percent, 44 percent, and 15 percent, respectively.

Of course not. Besides which, I have no grandchildren. But I do have cats. Seven to be exact. Or more appropriately, they have me. Anyone who has ever met a cat knows that they are not owned. They do the owning. So I am going to show you a few pictures of them. You probably don't care but it's my day to blog and I can blog about anything I want to. One of the rules for our Once A Week blog is that it should contain a recipe. There will be no recipes for cat. They wouldn't stand for it and I couldn't do it.
So, why would a once a week vegan blogger blog about cats? Because it's about choices. Choices we all make. Specifically, choices I have made. As you may know, I am not a vegan. I am a lacto ovo vegetarian. I eat eggs and dairy but not flesh and try to avoid anything that contains flesh or has resulted from animal suffering. It's a very difficult thing to keep up with. My 15 year old leather belt came from an animal and my shoes contain leather too. Some of the cheeses I eat have animal rennet. We have ants in the Chateau and I have to decide wheather to get out the Raid or not. I don't think anyone could possibly keep track of all the products that have been tested on animals or contain animal byproducts. These are things I consider. But I do not ask others to consider them. I'm not preachy. It's my path. You have yours. I don't think you are a schmuck if you enjoy a burger although I am not sure that eating a baby lamb is such a good thing. But those are your choices not mine.What has this to do with cats? Nothing. But in my case, everything.
Three years ago on April 17th, a stray came into our house and tucked five kittens in my bookcase. I had been trying to catch her for three years to get her spayed with no luck. She would have kittens on the side of the house and it would always end in tragedy. There is a very good chance if you come into my yard you are not leaving until you are fixed. Cats not people. Although there have been a few I considered..... I am on a campaign. That year she opted for finer accommodations and the kittens thrived. Then in August, she came in and had five more right behind my cookbooks. Which meant that we had 12 cats living in the house. We managed to get four adopted and I finally got her spayed. I have the scars to prove it. One of the first litter I named Carlisle. Kitty Carlisle died that week and I saw it as a fitting tribute. A mass of shiny black hair and quite a looker! All seven have moved to Northwest Arkansas with me and are loving being able to go out onto the screened porch. There are deer and birds and other things that cat dreams are made of.
Back to choices. Three years ago when the first group stole my heart, I made a very simplistic and moralistic decision. But only as it would apply to me. I thought that I really would not like to see anything eat these kittens. And I decided to give up meat. As I said, it is just my decision. I don't want to be righteous.I know I could be. It only applies to me. I grew up around farms and I have scarfed down my fare share of flesh. I just don't want to do it anymore. It just doesn't feel right for me. I have the luxury of being able to do so. Others do not. And others don't want to.
When Debbie invited me to blog about eating vegan one day a week it had never even occurred to me to eat vegan. I have to say that it has been a lot of fun. And it's made me think about the choices I make. I'm not perfect and they are not perfect choices. How many earthworms died tilling that land to grow soybeans for my tofu? Is that honey bee harmed to get my morning sweetener? I don't know. I do know that I enjoy cooking and eating and trying new things. And eating vegan one day a week is not going to harm me. It has opened up a new dialogue. New horizons. I urge you to try it and have fun with it!
I'm off to cook some scrambled tofu from Isa's kitchen. It really is fabulous and I would never have tried it had I not committed to eating vegan one day a week. Then to play catch with one of my cats who retrieves. I throw the ball. He runs and gets it and brings it back.I kid you not. Then we watch for deer and birds. These cats are after all ,not vegans.

The Hush Post: Some good news for school students. They will no longer have to wait for their favourite PT period which comes just once or twice a week. CBSE has made it mandatory for schools to have a health education and physical education class every day for students from Classes IX to XII.
The schools will have a daily sports period for all classes, according to new rules issued by the board. The students will have to go to the playground during the sports period but will be free to perform any physical activity listed in the manual. This is a qualifying subject for which grades will be offered in classes X and XII. It will be a compulsory subject but the marks will not be added to the final result. The schools earlier used to have work experience and health education in the senior classes, which has now been replaced with a sports and health education class.
There will be no exams of Physical Education in the lower classes. "Schools have the flexibility to decide what kind of activities they would like to introduce during this period," a senior CBSE official told the Times of India. The board had last month asked all schools to reserve one period for Health and Physical Education (HPE) while preparing the time-table for the 2018-19 session.
The board has prepared a 150-page manual detailing sports guidelines and methodologies. The schools need not have only PE ( physical education) teachers for conducting the period, any teacher will be eligible for implementing, evaluating and record keeping of HPE, which will be completely practical.

I heard about Rubber a few years ago. Naturally, the concept of a film about a homicidal tyre appealed to my whimsical side – I imagined it had a lot of potential for stupidity and hilarity. Which is technically true – it had the potential. Sure, it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival – which should've been a bit of a hint, but I wasn't fazed (I have been known to watch some high-brow films in my time too).
I wanted stupidity. I had high hopes it'd be a monster truck tyre…there'd be all kinds of whirling around people's necks until their breath is cut off, bouncing on top of people's heads and their heads smooshing with eyes popping out and really bad animation, dodgy bouncing sound effects, perhaps a reenactment of the boulder scene from Indiana Jones with a giant tyre …that kind of thing. Alas, no. This is a serious film – or at least that's what its director, Quentin Dupieux, was aiming for.
I think the build-up of expectations probably worked against it. Although, that period did include a large portion of time where I completely forgot about its existence, but hey… Anyway, Rubber opens in the middle of a desolate landscape – presumably somewhere in America. Standard. A bunch of observers are brought out to bear witness to the events by some guys wearing police outfits. There's a rather philosophical cop narrating about life.

In the UO storyline, Mondain Shattered the Gem of Immortality, and thus created the Shards, each game server is considered a shard of that gem, in which the fates of its populace are unique.
A world is the largest geographical category, also known in UO as Shards of the gem of immortality.
World contains various geographical continents and facets.
Some servers have special rulesets
Below is a list of available shards in UO.
- American
- Australian
Travel between worlds
The only known means of traveling between worlds is through the use of a rare black portal, such as the one used by Lord British at the day of his departure from the world of UO. Or the Paid Character Transfer Service offered by Electronic Arts for a fee.
Felucca & Trammel
The shards, being broken pieces of the Gem of Immortality, contain multiple facets or faces. When the Wizard Mondain was slain, his apprentice, the Enchantress Minax, escaped the Avatar by using a powerful spell that transported her to a differenct facet of the same shard. From here she planned her revenge, seeking a way to travel back to the original facet from whence she escaped and destroy both Lord British and the Avatar. She has found willing slaves in the creatures of the dark facet, which she calls Minaxia in her own honor.
She has unlocked the secret to travelling between shards, and has been using her willing followers to subject Lord British, and in fact all of Britannia, to attacks by her monstrous minions. At length, she forced Lord British to use all his available resources and powers to move his people and loyal followers to yet another facet of the shard, where the Virtues block Minax herself from attacking him directly. Unfortunately, her minions can still make the journey into Lord British's new home, but because the Virtues hold sway over the new lands, players will find themselves unable to harm each other by direct or indirect means.

Millennial pet owners routinely mark their pets' birthdays, include them in holiday celebrations, take them on shopping trips and bring them to work, according to a report by market research firm Packaged Facts. Millennial pet owners, especially those in higher-income brackets, also represent a pet market consumer segment offering exceptional opportunities for marketers of pet products and services, according to the Packaged Facts report Gen Z and Millennials as Pet Market Consumers: Dogs, Cats, Other Pets. In fact, Packaged Facts National Pet Owner Survey data indicate that millennial pet owners with a household income of $75,000 or higher are more than twice as likely as all other pet owners to have spent $50 or more on pet products of any kind in the last 30 days.
However, the future of the pet industry in America lies not only in the hands of millennials but also depends on their younger counterparts in gen Z, according to Packaged Facts. The vanguard of gen Z is now in its late teens and early 20s. These adult members of gen Z have been digitally fluent for nearly their whole lives and are used to being inundated by waves of words, data and images on small screens. Because they are adept at filtering through masses of information and detecting hyped or outright false claims, marketing experts tend to view gen Z as being less trusting of brands than any previous generation.
Packaged Facts National Pet Owner Survey data hint at and confirm some of the challenges facing pet product marketers in building trust with gen Z pet owners. For example, compared to millennial pet owners, gen Z pet owners are less likely to trust the quality of pet foods produced by larger companies such as general-market brand leaders. This finding may simply reflect gen Z's overall loss of trust in large corporations and governmental institutions in today's chaotic world in this era of "fake news," according to Packaged Facts.
Packaged Facts also found that the attitudes of gen Z pet owners toward pet products produced by smaller companies are more complex and, perhaps, surprising. Gen Z pet owners are as likely as millennial pet owners to trust the quality of pet foods produced by smaller companies such as regional or family-owned companies. However, they are less likely to trust the pet foods produced by smaller natural/organic product companies. This finding may be related to the fact that gen Z pet owners are less likely than millennial pet owners to consider natural/organic products to be safer or better than standard national-brand products. The data support an overall conclusion that many gen Z pet owners believe that claims made by natural/organic pet product marketers are no more trustworthy than those made by marketers of general-market pet products.
"Pet marketers must remember that these younger adult pet owners tend to be attracted to unique brands and stories," said David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts. "To reach millennial and gen Z consumers, one truly must stand out from the proverbial crowd."
Gen Z and Millennials as Pet Market Consumers: Dogs, Cats, Other Pets analyzes and tabulates what makes gen Z and millennial pet owners unique, highlighting opportunities for pet product and service marketers to most profitably appeal to the 57 million pet owners in this 18- to 39-year-old age group.

EP extends footprint with acquisition of $500 million RIA
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
EP Wealth Advisors is betting on the Pacific Northwest, as the RIA continues to develop its regional presence along the west coast.
EP, one of three firms backed by financial services holding company Wealth Partners Capital Group, will acquire Seattle-based Conlon Dart Wealth Management. "This is EP's largest acquisition to date," says Brian Parker, co-founder and managing partner of EP.
Both firms declined to comment on the terms of the deal.
The addition of Conlon Dart brings over $500 million to EP's assets under management, as well as more than 300 new clients. Prior to its recent investment, EP managed more than $4 billion in AUM, according to the firm's SEC Form ADV.
Conlon Dart is EP's fifth acquisition since taking a minority investment from Wealth Partners in July 2017, and the firm's second regional expansion, following the acquisition of Donnelly Wealth Advisors in San Diego. "Given the proximity to our headquarters, [Seattle] was the logical next step," Parker says.
"The opportunity is larger than the amount of clients already there," says Parker, who noted that the northwest's growing wages and wealth drew their attention to the area. "It's a popular place for clients to migrate to, either for [job] opportunities or retirement."
Parker says EP will continue to look for investment opportunities in the region, aided by Wealth Partners.
The Torrance, CA-based EP has satellite offices in the San Francisco bay area, San Diego, West Los Angeles, and Irvine, CA, as well as Denver, and employs 35 wealth advisors.
EP was founded in 2004 through the merger of two firms, and grew organically to $1.4 billion in AUM until 2011, when founding partners Brian Parker and Derek Holman brought on Patrick Goshtigian as president, to develop a new acquisitions strategy.
"We knew if we wanted to grow at the optimum speed we needed a partner," says Parker. "What we are finding is that the M&A market in the RIA space continues to accelerate. The number of firms deciding to partner is growing [although] EP is not the right partner for every firm."
In addition to its investments in EP, Wealth Partners has also taken minor positions in MAI Capital Management in the Midwest, and Forbes Family Trust on the East Coast. The triumvirate aims to consolidate small and mid-sized RIAs across the nation.
Founded by Mitch Conlon and Stephen Dart as an independent, fee-only wealth management firm, Conlon Dart serves 224 high net worth clients, comprising over $400 million of Conlon's AUM.
According to Conlon Dart's SEC Form ADV, 13% of the firm's investments were exchange-traded equity securities and 74% of its securities were issued by registered investment companies. Conlon uses Charles Schwab and National Financial Services as custodians.
By partnering with EP, Conlon will increase its financial planning and investment management capabilities, Dart said in a statement.
Conlon and Dart will assume the role of Regional Director and Partner at EP. Rick Bryan and Joe Boden, who were both made senior financial advisors at the firm in April, 2016, will each assume the role of senior vice president a partner at EP.

Street photography is an interesting genre of photography. In some ways it sees quite simple – all you need is a camera lens and your own two feet to do it. Yet in other ways, it can be quite hard and complicated.
If this is something you've struggled with, here are some dPS articles to help you out.
Two key tips I will give you myself are – find good light and shoot there AND find a good or interesting background and wait for a subject to enter your frame.

I could have cried.
But Vincent- the real Vincent- was the kind of man you'd have hated to have as a neighbour. Waldemar Januszczak has just completed a series on Channel 4 dedicated to this proposition. He has documented the violence, the drunkenness, the whoring, the syphilis, the paranoia, the attention-seeking, the bad behaviour. Vincent kept being run out of town- and for good reason. In Arles the citizens got up a petition and presented it to the mayor protesting that he was mad and drunk and a molester of women and needed to be locked away.
Just before he cut off his earlobe Vincent confronted Gauguin in the street and threatened him with an open razor. Wake up people, this was not a nice man!
Very little in the legend is true. He wasn't even as unsuccessful as we like to think. At the time of his death he had just sold his first picture and was being hailed by the Parisian critics as the saviour of modern art. Seeing that he'd only been working as an artist for 9 years, that's pretty good going.
But somehow, we've turned him into an icon of suffering innocence. He's the artist as Jesus Christ. A man of sorrows and rejected by men.
But, oh Vincent, I'd have understood you. I'd have sat by your bedside and held your hand and told you how beautiful you were. Me and Don McLean.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Divided Republicans pointed fingers and vowed to regroup on Wednesday after a stunning Tea Party upset in Delaware dealt a blow to their hopes of recapturing U.S. Senate control in November.
Conservative upstart Christine O'Donnell's defeat of nine-term U.S. Representative Michael Castle in a Senate primary ended the career of one of the last Republican moderates in Congress and set off a round of Democratic celebrations.
The loss by Castle, who had been expected to cruise to victory in the November 2 election, bolstered Democratic efforts to keep the Senate seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden and made it tougher for Republicans to pick up the 10 Democratic seats they need for a Senate majority.
Republicans are still expected to turn voter worries about the economy and President Barack Obama's leadership into big gains in November that could give them control of the House and perhaps even the Senate, once considered a longshot.
O'Donnell's win was the biggest in a string of upsets of establishment Republicans this year by loosely organized Tea Party candidates driven by anger at government in Washington and at Obama's ambitious agenda.
On Wednesday, O'Donnell bickered on Fox News with prominent Republican Karl Rove and complained of "Republican cannibalism" after attacks on her from the party establishment.
"I didn't count on the establishment to win the primary, I'm not counting on them to win the general," she said. "They obviously don't see what's going on in the country this year."
Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush's two White House wins, responded with a litany of allegations about her campaign debts, tax liens and personal background that he said would make it tough for her to win in November.
The Tea Party's platform of limited government, lower spending and opposition to Obama could have a big impact on the Republican approach on the budget and taxes in the next Congress, and has proven a good match with the public mood.
"I'm not all torn up this morning," Republican strategist Jim Dyke said. "The mood of the country has not changed from yesterday, and that's an overwhelming opposition to the policies President Obama and Democrats have put in place."
Polls show Tea Party candidates doing well in states like Nevada, Kentucky and Colorado. Republican Marco Rubio is confounding predictions by leading a three-way Florida Senate race against a strong independent and a Democratic rival, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The Delaware and New York results bolstered Democratic arguments the Republican Party has been taken over by extremists, giving them hope moderates and independent voters who are sour on Democrats will not find Republicans to be a suitable alternative in November.
"Democrats are making a big mistake if they deride Tea Party candidates as extremists when the top issues they are talking about are lower deficits and spending," Republican strategist Kevin Madden said.
But Democrats said Republicans had proven they did not have room for anyone who does not conform to their narrow agenda.
"I think the message is moderates are not welcome. Moderates keep out," Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine said on NBC's "Today" show.
The contest in Delaware highlighted the final day of primaries before November, with voters in seven states choosing nominees for the Senate, House of Representatives and governor's races.
In New Hampshire's Republican Senate primary, former state attorney general Kelly Ayotte, who had been endorsed by former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, narrowly beat Tea Party-backed lawyer Ovide Lamontagne. O'Donnell also was backed by Palin.
The Tea Party movement won another high-profile race in New York, where political newcomer Carl Paladino easily beat the establishment choice, former U.S. Representative Rick Lazio, in the Republican gubernatorial primary.
Paladino, who pledges to spend up to $10 million of his own money, will be a huge underdog in the November race against Democrat Andrew Cuomo.

2003 Dun stud colt
Born 2 a.m. May 4th
Another beautiful colt by Zan Jack Two!
Like his 3/4 sister, Ruby, he has a left hind pastern and a star. Spike was burning laps around his Mom long before the sun came up on his very first day. Althletic colt, with straight legs, beautiful head and will have that awesome hip that Jack throws on his colts. Zan Jack Two is a proven sire of AQHA point earners, working cow horses that excell in heading, heeling roping, arena and general ranch work. Spike's dam was never broke to ride due to a fetlock injury at a young age. She has already produced two beautiful grullo fillies for us, the last one going for eventual training as an amature reiner and her first one being kept as a potential broodmare.

I needed to enlist the help of my son to get some good pictures of Spike, as there's no getting away from him out in the pasture!
Spike is shaping up to be a good looking stallion prospect with an excellent mind. He can be touched anywhere - every sqaure inch of his body. He has a beautiful long neck, exquisite head, good bone and muscle and a well built hip. He is straight and correct in every way. He could halter, ride, rope, or do whatever you like! Both testicles are present and his teeth match perfectly! There are not very many dun grandsons of Zan Parr Bar out there!

On Sunday night, people's heartthrob Laine Hardy became Season 2's "American Idol" on ABC, besting artist/guitarist Alejandro Aranda for the title.
It denoted the finish of lengthy, difficult experience on the singing challenge for the Livingston, Louisiana, local, who recently contended on the show a year ago, however, was voted out from the Top 50.
He hadn't expected to give the American Idol another attempt this year, however, was convinced to sing in front of the judges again when he went with his companion, Ashton Gill, on guitar at her tryout.
While Gill didn't make it to Hollywood, Hardy took his brilliant ticket right to triumph, prevailing upon fans youthful and old with his return melody decisions and Elvis Presley-like swagger.
CAPTION: Laine Hardy
SOURCE: usatoday
When asked about Gill, Laine said,
She came to the finale and I talked to her before I left (Los Angeles)
She's super proud of me and I'm really glad she made me go play for her, because I wouldn't be here now

If there is one question I get asked more then others, it's always, "how do you edit your IG photos?" So here it is….
When I say there's a science behind the editing process, there truly is. Every blogger I talk to has their methods to the editing process before uploading a photo, each one being slightly different but rooted in the same apps. Often there are 200 photos for every one photo that is shared on social, as it can take time get the right lighting or angle.
So when it comes to editing my Instagram photos, these are the apps I use to get the look I like:
This is the king of filters and helps create a constant style. I love sticking to only a few sets of filters like the S1-S3 and the HB2/HB1 and using those across all photos to help maintain the same color tones. You can easily see how the feed will look like, so it prevents the multiple shots of coffee or scenes (unless that's your thing.) Try playing with different levels of the filters to soften down the color tones.
This app is the best for balancing the photo. Often some photos will have bright spots or dark spots, and with the spot editor you can change parts of the photo with just a quick click. It's brilliant for fixing the lighting when you get a shot that just needs a bit of spot editing.
Surprise! I never use the filters of Instagram, but will use the custom editing for things like highlights, contrast, and warmth. These tools can help create the perfect look on a photo and I love the straightening tool to make sure the horizon lines are even.
Stick to your style, what you love to capture, and happy clicking!

Palo Verde School and PTA News
Did you hear that a virtual 9.0 earthquake struck Palo Verde this past Tuesday morning? The shaking required students to duck and cover under their desks for a full minute. After the dramatic trembling stopped, teachers evacuating their classrooms discovered that a few exits were blocked by damage or debris and that some students and staff members had been injured during the quake.
Fortunately, Tuesday's earthquake was only a simulated disaster. But the staff and students treated the drill seriously and practiced their procedures for handling a real emergency. Our teachers and staff are currently evaluating their performances to address any areas that need improvement. Principal Brown said the students behaved wonderfully throughout the drill.
Ask your children about what happened in their classrooms that day. My son and I talked about the length of a minute. If you're building Legos, a minute isn't very long. But if you are crouched under your desk waiting for the world to stop shaking, a minute becomes a very long time.
On October 21, Palo Verde will participate in the Great California ShakeOut, a statewide disaster drill. This is another opportunity for the school to practice its evacuation processes. It is also a great day to review your own family's disaster plans. If you are trapped at work, who will pick up your children from school in an emergency? You can learn about the Great ShakeOut at http://www.shakeout.org.
I hope to see you all at the Harvest Fair this Sunday!

Find the right e-bike to get you zooming from A to B.
We've ridden and assessed 16 e-bikes. We judged how well each model flattened hills and how easy it was to ride. Our buying advice will help you choose the perfect e-bike for you.
Looking for an e-bike? Here's what you need to consider:
Bike style: Just like unpowered bikes, e-bikes come in various shapes and sizes, each better suited to different sorts of riding. Read our buying guide to learn more about the differences between city and recreational bikes, and find out if a cargo bike is really what you need.
Motor system: Mid-drive motors are the way to go, unless you're really on a tight budget, but all mid-drive systems aren't created equal. Your e-bike should be fitted with a motor system that's powerful and responsive, with a durable battery and easy-to-use interface. Use our database to find which systems go the distance.
Our buying guide will also help you decide which features you need (is it worth choosing a model with a suspension fork? Are mudguards essential features?) and advise you on the best places to buy an e-bike and how to look after yourself on roads and shared paths.
If you already have a non-powered bike, we've also assessed how effective it is to add a motor system to your ride.
Before investing in an electric bike, make sure you know what to look for.Read the guide
