Becoming a law professor was largely the result of an alphabetical accident. When I was an undergraduate at the University of Maryland (long story as to how I got there), my parents (Dad still being a colonel in the Air Force) were stationed on the island of Bermuda (where I also spent a year, another long story), but then in my senior year at Maryland Dad was transferred to Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio. Since I had not seen them often when they were half an ocean away, I asked my Maryland Faculty Advisor if there was a good law school near Texas, and she replied that Texas was a very good law school. So I applied to the University of Texas and was promptly accepted, with a starting date of September, 1965.
At Maryland (and indeed during all of my education to that point), I could make A's if I applied myself, which usually I did only in the courses that I liked. The others I could make B's in without much effort (except the Microbiology disaster, which required me, a night owl, to do two hours of labs at 8 am twice a week, and I couldn't get out of bed to do it, leading me to flunk the course, and then have a very interesting discussion with my father). Consequently, I graduated from Maryland with an almost perfect B average.
I figured at law school I would just do what everyone else was doing and that would be enough to see me through. At Texas everything is oversized, and the entering class had 500 people in it (almost all men in those days); compare Ohio State's law school class, which is typically around half of that.
What I didn't count on was being seated next to Jay Westbrook (an alphabetical accident) in each one of my first year courses. Jay would eventually graduate number one in the class, and since he and I became close friends (rooming together for the last two years of law school, me being best man at his wedding, and this year he and his wife, Polly, and I are discussing a vacation together), I simply did what Jay did. That led me to graduating 14th in that class of 500. Without grades like that I would never have qualified to become a law professor.
A word about Jay Westbrook (now himself a law professor at U. of T., and the world's leading expert on international bankruptcies). Jay is the most intelligent person I have ever known when it comes to handling an abstract idea (and not when, for example confronting a spider). I would be sitting in our rented apartment happily reading Mad Magazine, and he would come bursting through the door saying, "Doug, agency law is flawed at its basic core!" I would beg him to let me alone, but the excitement over his discovery would lead to a two hour discussion of the myriad problems with agency law. By the time we got to class, we were both loaded for bear. He also taught me how to boil an argument down to the fundamental disagreement, which proved hugely valuable latter in life, and about which I will devote a subsequent post.
When I graduated in 1968, I went to practice law in Chicago with a major firm. In the fall of 1969, I received a letter in the mail from the Indiana Indianapolis School of Law (Indiana has two law schools---the other is in Bloomington), asking if I was interested in interviewing for the position of Assistant Professor of Law, with a starting date of Jan. 1, 1970. The letter was signed by a "Melvin Poland," which made me suspicious that it was a fake (surely no one was really named Melvin Poland, and, it being Chicago, there were a lot of Pollack jokes going around). On the other hand, the letter was on letterhead stationery, which was hard to create in those days without great expense, so I did reply, was interviewed, and hired. It turned out that Indiana had a sudden need for someone to teach Contracts, a basic first year course, and my former Contracts professor at Texas had recommended me for the job. It was a course that I taught for decades, most recently in 2007-08.
I had never even thought about teaching law until this happened, and I wondered if I would be good at it. Dad always said that Whaleys make their living through the gift of gab (at which he was a master, regularly appearing on TV, giving speeches, etc.), and once I thought about it, I was very interested.
So my starting paycheck dated from Jan. 1, 1970, forty years ago this month. Once I got into the classroom, it was "duck discovers water." I had a very fulfilling teaching career, winning numerous teaching awards, publishing a large number of casebooks, etc. The biggest reward was in influencing the leaders of tomorrow, many of whom are in Congress, on the bench, deans and faculty members at law schools, or running major law firms, corporations, or non-profit organizations. There are thousands of them.
But if Jay Westbrook had been named "Jay Smith," I would probably be practicing law somewhere, oblivious to the enormous pleasure of standing in front of a room filled with bright minds eager to learn law.

February 17, football hall of fame, James Brown, James Nathaniel Brown-February 17, national football league, pro football hall, pro football hall of fame, travel, vacation
James Nathaniel "Jim" Brown was one of the best American athletes of all time. Born on the 17th of February, 1936 in St. Simon's Island, Georgia, United States, he grew up in an all-black community.
For eight out of his nine year career in sports, he led the National Football League. He was the leading running back player of his time. He excelled in basketball, baseball, track, lacrosse, and football. In addition, Jim played for the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965.
He made records by rushing 237 yards in a single game in 1957; and 1527 yards in a National Football League single season in 1958. In fact, his outstanding performance made him inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, and in the US Lacrosse National Hall of Fame.
However, at 30 years of age he ventured on his acting career in Hollywood and retired from sports. His movies "The Dirty Dozen" and "100 Rifles" were all noteworthy. Furthermore, Jim helped address Afro-American issues despite no previous racism influence while growing up.

|At the Standing Stone altar...
"White" magic is by implication almost the only desirable magic nowadays. Many practitioners, especially those who are new, go out of their way to explain that they practice only white magic. One can only assume it is because this colour has implications in English that is consistent with the image Wiccan writers and leaders wished to perpetuate. White is by implication, then, desirable, clear, pure, shining, and filled with light. And practiced by Whites. "Black" magic, on the other hand, is undesirable, dark, sinister, and practiced by the unscrupulous victimizers. And Black. These same implications have also applied to the possessors of the skin colour called "black". But why not "constructive and destructive"? Or "positive and negative"? Or even "yin" and "yang"? By the most powerful suggestions, then, the practice of Wicca has translated into delineations along racial lines. How many 'whites' can imagine a 'black' Wiccan vehemently denying that they practice 'black' magic, and only practice 'white' magic? What exactly is wrong with 'black' magic, then? And doesn't that have implications on the colour of their skin? With current usage, if I say "Black witch" or "White witch", do you know if I'm referring to the type of the practitioner's magic or the colour of their skin? By these associations, does that mean that Red magic is only practiced by North American natives? Or Yellow magic by Asians? What about Brown? Green magic must only be for space aliens...[1]
There is of course a long tradition of associating Black and Night with fear and negativity, in the Western World especially, but it becomes greatly exaggerated with the advance of Xianity and the suppression of paganism, particularity women's traditions. Modern Witchcraft, in it's evolution of thealogy, can draw upon other rich traditions and classic depictions of magic, and does not need to perpetuate the popularized Xian view of magic that associates black with harm, evil, and Satan. I accuse the newcomer Wicca as the primary source of the infection, because much of the rest of the pagan world still goes by an older system, the traditional three "gunas" found for thousands of years in most cultures. They represented the three aspects of the Goddess in her Creatrix/Virgin, Preserver/Mother, and Destroyer/Crone modes, distinguished by White, Red and Black. Being of the Celtic persuasion, when I have used those colour designations, I envision the Creatrix magic as primarily Bardic and Inspirational. Red magic is the Preserver, so I see healing, love, etc. Most cultures place fertility in this colour, although a few reasonably place this in White for birth. I guess it depends what result one hopes for. Black Destroying Crone is for battles, curses, balancing the scales, removal of cancerous circumstances or images, or the destruction of other things that have outgrown their usefulness and need to be replaced.
It is nearly impossible to discuss and manifest balance in the world with the inadequate and limiting nomenclature of the Wiccan White and Black. The White=Good, Black=Bad presents us with a very unsophisticated tool to represent our spirituality. The traditional gunas give much more freedom to our thealogy. Black, White, and Red magics have negative and positive forces in them that must be explored by the seeker. There is positive and negative destruction. Without destruction, there is no creation. The pure blank page must be destroyed to write poetry on it. The crumbling building must be destroyed before a new one can be built to house a family. The remains of last night's dinner must be put on the compost to rot and create new soil. There is negative creation. There are many ideas, constructions, and institutions that have mostly caused harm in the world, and would have been better had they never been created. Red magic negativity can express itself in harmful relationships or love obsessions, or in healing that truly believes interventions on unwilling subjects is 'for their own good'. Such unsophisticated terms also reduce our ability to deal with destruction as good and necessary, and creation as not always the best choice. As women, it reduces our power to deal with destruction in any reasonable manner, leaving us with far less skill or experience to tackle issues under the Destroyer auspices even in our own lives, such as marital arts or abortion. This is what the Goddess in all her aspects is really about: expressing and celebrating our power as women, in all it's dread and magnificent forms.
If we are to use a system of colour classification to broadly describe certain specializations and preferences, and I personally find it can be quite elegant and robust, there are many conventions to draw upon. Brown usually speaks of animals and other nature magic. Blue is most often Water and it's creatures. Purple is considered more on the astral plane: like travel and divination. The Indigo Children or Tribe are often said to be such. I know a Red Witch who absolutely emits sexual karuna energy, and my apprentice is envisioning herself as a Red and Brown witch. She is learning the aspects of healing, for horses and other animals as well as humans. I have heard of Orange, Lavender, Mauve, and other forms of specialization, but I'm not as clear on what their particular areas of interest are. I use Green magic to describe the primary form I focus on, that is, healing, herbs, kitchen witchery, environmental work, etc. By implication, it is seen as primarily positive. Using that to designate myself gives those who don't know me an excellent basis for how I work and what my interests are. It has helpful thealogy aspects to meditate on and I find it inherently more useful than the term "White". As well as not perpetuating any nasty stereotypes.
Green Magic is in fact a great example of the ongoing evolution of the Colour System. Green Witchcraft as a term is far more recognized than it was even ten years ago. It's almost become an agreed upon designation. That didn't come overnight, nor without controversy, and it was not in wide use until very recently. I believe that this helps demonstrate several important points: that the interest in colour designation will not fade away, that we can choose to alter the current uses, and that we can agree upon and transform colour terminology to best reflect our practices of magic and our philosophies. The Colour System does not, will not, and should not go out of use, but we can change those aspects of the modern designations that are non-traditional to witchcraft and offensive to our egalitarian philosophies.
One of the other significant benefits to the Colour System is one not widely practiced currently, but again gaining in popularity. Since many witches dedicated to a particular type of magic will often find they are most comfortable with that colour around them, they will occationally find that an aspect of their religious practice is to wear only those hues. Rather than finding it limiting, it is a vibrant expression of their spiritual practice and dedication that they can take with them in their day-to-day living, as well as provide a meditative concept. It has the same discipline as religious dietary regimes and other spiritual practices. If during the training as pagan nuns, they dedicate themselves to a Colour of Magic, I encourage them to explore the rather radical discipline of dressing in only those colours as part of their spiritual practice; in effect being garbed as a nun all the time, even if those around you never know. Some will even begin to dream that they need to have those colours enfold them. Most who take on this discipline usually choose one particular shade of their colour, and almost always mix it with Black, often seen as the traditional colour of witchcraft itself. Some use a few more colours, to indicate their different preferences. A symbolic metal will often also be selected for jewellry and accents. Gold and gold-like metals such as brass is usually for the sun and masculine energy. Silver is for the moon, of course, and copper is traditionally associated with Venus, Love, and Red Magic. White Gold would be a combination of Silver and Gold aspects, Red Gold with Copper and Gold, Bronze is often used by warriors, etc...
I personally have taken on this practice for decades. I have only worn the Colours of Dark Green, Black, and Silver since the mid-90's when I dedicated myself to living my Craft every moment of the day. With this discipline, I am constantly a Green Witch, and I am always displaying that concept to myself and those around me. For those of you who would worry about being seen as even more of a weirdo in dedicating yourself to your Craft in that way, the rest of the world, including some who have known me for years, don't usually notice the perpetual colour choices of a wardrobe. Unless it's only one colour, for some reason... I've also saved an incredible amount of money on clothes, since everything I purchase goes with everything else, and I always look put together, for the same reason. Imagine going into your closet blindfolded and coming out matching! It's really a dream...
I am obviously a huge fan of the Colour System, and find it wonderfully helpful in my own practices and assisting my students find where their own interests might lie. It is a traditional, valuable, and vibrant part of our heritage. When considering the negative, positive, and possibly neutral aspects of each colour, the Colour System gives rise to a very robust and intricate system of designations that can help us accurately define our theaologies with beauty. However, there are some serious flaws in how the Colour System is currently being used in modern Paganism. As it is in the process of evolving, it can be deliberately altered to more suit our needs as a spiritual tool, yet without continuing to perpetuate the stereotypes of the English language or our practices, to ourselves and the general public. To do this, it is vital that we insist upon purging the racism and self-loathing in the current use of the terms "White Magic" and "Black Magic", and instead begin to explore the more traditional aspects of those colours, and how they might better serve our modern sophisticated ideas of magic, it's practitioners, and our philosophies. I, for one, look forward to the day when our designations evolve to a more sophisticated level; when I can speak of magic without someone fearfully interjecting, "But you only practice White Magic, right?"
No. No, I don't.
Footnotes and further reading:
"Red, white, and black are the main sacred colors in Zulu symbolism. In combination, as particularly in the clothing of diviners, who also code medicines as white, black, or red (Ngubane 1977), these colors suggest an understanding of the universe and the cycle of life within it. White is associated with the ancestors, concepts of purity, calm, and good intentions, and light and divine enlightenment. In some contexts, black represents darkness, evil, death, and defilement. In other contexts, black is linked to the ancestors and carries positive connotations-it evokes the dark rain clouds necessary for the sustenance of life, for example, and Zulu pots, some sculptural objects, and the leather skirt of marriage are blackened to please the ancestors. Red is the color of blood, menstruation, and fertility, and red ochre is strongly associated with the earth and women and their fertility; white clay is associated with the ancestors (Berglund 1989)."
"Ornamentation of everyday use items seemed to be an obligatory component of their creation. Earthenware, ceramics, pottery, tools, vessels, dishes, pottery moulds, internal walls of houses (as shown by clay models) all exhibit a compulsory ornamentation: painted in varying earth-colours, such as white, red, ochre and black, and sometimes carved with incisions or encrusted. The decoration of items or spaces are geometrical incorporating symbols of nature (sun, moon, stars, rain, birds, trees, branches, seeds, flowers, water) and with magical symbols of the supernatural world (the eternal circle, teeth, rhombus, crosses, endless meanders, snake-patterns, lines) are so universal and repeated, that it is unlikely that the decorations were random or coincidental. Umansky believes that these ornament-symbols are of two types: "those aiding to find food and to grow crops, and those protecting people and the results of their labour". He notes that "some items carried both the symbols of fertility and of protection, intertwined in an integral picture of the cosmos". Videiko also supports the idea of using ornamentation as a form of protection: "the floor and the walls were painted with red and white colours and decorated with geometrical ornamental patterns to protect the inhabitants from evil spirits" (The Trypillian Culture: Introduction)."
"Graves gives the colours white, red, and black as the colours symbolic of the moon goddess. These are moon colours because the full moon is white; the moon appears red in certain atmospheric conditions and solar eclipses, and black just before the new moon. In occult tradition, white symbolises the goddess as Spring; red is Aphrodite, and black the death aspect of the goddess, say Atropos (the third of the Fates)." 4

More Alike or Just Different?
10 comments:
I couldn't have said it better, Lisa. This really brings together both points so well. Our kids "are" more alike in so many ways but at the same time, John Michael is obviously different than the other kids in huge ways. To avoid that or make light of it, lessons the gifts he brings with having Ds. I've learned so much from him and his "differentness"... from not only him, but Sheridan and all their peers with Ds. I'm a better mom because he's different and makes me really stretch myself and learn to adapt to a different way of parenting and loving my child. Thanks for this... I'm so with you on this!ReplyDelete
Wow Lisa, this is perfectly said. I wish I had read something like this five years ago. My Kimani is more different than alike as far as how she moves through this world, and I am so tired of fighting to convince everyone that she, nevertheless, is worthy. Angry and sad, yes I feel that way too.ReplyDelete
You have to come here more often. I miss your voice :-)

Great post thank you you!! To be included we fight for more alike on one side of the mouth, the otherside we say: celebrate diversity... welll which is it???? I do both and it is crazy making. Because in this culture to be different is to be stigmatized, to be seen as less than..... when a person is less than then it is easy to not include them. My head is spinning and I wish I had the sum it up sentence!!!! So I say thank you...ReplyDelete

Hi there! My name is Sabrina and I am the founder of the online platform known as Special Miracles - Down syndrome. I currently have over 150K+ followers and my goal is to continue to raise awareness and to celebrate the lives of those with Down syndrome. I started this journey in 2013 soon after the birth of my second son Colton, who also happened to come into this world with an extra chromosome of awesomeness! EmojiReplyDelete
Anyway, I recently launched a digital/online magazine called Special Miracles and I am writing to you today because I came across your blog, which I enjoyed very much, and was wondering if you would like to volunteer to contribute a blog post/ article to the next issue of Special Miracles, which will be LIVE in mid march.
I know that this is late notice, but if you would like to share something that would be relevant and helpful especially to new parents that would be great. If possible would love a couple of Hi Res images to include as well.
If you do send me something, I will also have your Blog Bio on there with the links to it for readers to be able to connect with you that way and follow your journey. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you in advance for your time and your blog ;)
I read the article about your family in "Dandelion" today and went to look up your blog. Your last article is very well written, it's often these very well-meant, very easy to miss finer points that make a difference and it's also often very hard to put your finger on what exactly doesn't feel quite right. I haven't read much else on the blog so far, but I just want to say that we have had only positive experiences with my son Liam (nearly 11 years) in the public school system. No problems at all. I have to read on about Sheridan, I guess, to see where his experiences differ. I'll subscribe!ReplyDelete

Visualization technique was used to better understand the water build-up phenomena on the cathode side of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) unit fuel cell. In this study, a transparent PEM unit fuel cell with an active area of 25 cm2 was designed and fabricated to allow for the visualization of cathode channel with fuel cell performance characteristics. Two-phase flow due to the electrochemical reaction of fuel cell was experimentally investigated. The images photographed by CCD camera with various cell temperatures (30–50°C) and different inlet humidification levels were presented in this study. Results indicated that the flooding on the cathode side first occurs near the exit of cathode flow channel. As the fuel cell operating temperature increases, it was found that water droplets tend to evaporate easily because of increased saturation vapor pressure and it can have an influence on lowering the flooding level. The approaches of this study can effectively contribute to the detailed researches on water transport phenomena including modeling water transport of an operating PEM fuel cell.

Partnership Approval
Partnership Approval
Partnership Approval Introduction and overview
The University is responsible for the standards of all provision offered in its name and also is ultimately responsible for the quality of the student learning experience provided under collaborative arrangements. These arrangements closely follow the QAA Quality Code for Higher Education, Chapter B10. http://www.qaa.ac.uk/Publications/InformationAndGuidance/Pages/quality-code-B10.aspx The Partnership Approval Process therefore seeks to establish that the academic standards and quality of the student learning experience provided by the prospective partner are likely to meet the requirements of, and be comparable to, the standards and quality of programmes at UW. The main purpose of the partner approval process is to ascertain the viability and suitability of the proposed institutional collaboration. It is distinct from the approval of specific programme arrangements; the processes for which fall under the University's Course Planning and Approval process.
Partnership Approval Process
The process for the initiation, development and formal approval of a new collaborative partnership is typically managed in the first instance by the lead academic Institute at the University, in liaison with the Director of Regional Engagement and the Head of Collaborative Programmes as appropriate. The first stage is to complete a Preliminary Enquiries form which presents the outcomes from initial due diligence enquiries to the University Executive and seeks permission to proceed in principle with the partnership approval process.
Once permission to proceed in principle has been secured, the remaining stages of approval based on detailed due diligence are managed by the Academic Quality Unit and overseen by a Senior Quality Officer (Collaborative). At an early point in the development of any new academic partnership the prospective partner and the relevant UW Institute will each be expected to identify a key contact to lead on the initiative. For further information please refer to the full Partnership Approval Process and the Partnership Approval Process Flow-chart. It will be expected that the partner organisation will complete a due diligence form in order to inform the process of partnership approval. For advice please contact the Academic Quality Officer (Collaborative).
In selecting and approving a new partner, the University will endeavour to ensure that procedures are followed with appropriate flexibility and rigour, commensurate with the level of risk involved, given the status of the partner and the nature of the partnership. For instance, partnership arrangements comprising only articulation agreements are normally managed less intensively than those involving full delivery of a UW award.
Changing site of delivery
In cases where a previously approved collaborative course or module is proposed to be taught at a new venue, a site/resources check should be carried out by the relevant Institute.
The site/resources report is considered for approval by IQC. IQC then notify AQU of all venue approvals in order to inform the updating of the course agreement.
The process for approving a new partnership from initial discussions, through assessment of the suitability of the partner, the partner approval process and the course approval process, normally takes at least a full calendar year (although partnerships which do not involve course delivery by a partner organisation may be approved in a shorter time period).
The partnership approval process is normally completed before the approval of the programme collaboration. However the later stages of the processes may run concurrently, and there may be occasions for particular types of collaboration, such as progression agreements, off-site delivery and the accreditation of a small volume of provision (generally up to and including 30 credits) where partnership and course approval processes may be combined. In all cases, no collaborative arrangement can be put into operation until formal agreements relating to both the partnership and programme have been signed by all parties.
All partnerships are subject to UW's Partnership Review Process on a quinquennial basis.

Its got quilting, a hood, snaps, vintage hot pink velvet ribbon and it's made from shiny silver leopard print taffeta……… ack!
What a pity it's not my size!
Looks good on Miss C though.
Miss C has had a recent growth spurt which just happen to coincide with a bitterly cold gust of winter, so my plans of squeezing her into last years jacket went out the window faster than Jack Frost came in.
While we are not a particularly outdoorsy family, no camping, hiking or fishing happens much 'round here, we do walk pretty much everyday, so a warm jacket is pretty vital to our winter wardrobe.
So while I had no intentions to do any seriously hard concentrating type of sewing this season, I realised that I did need to get something together for her. Or buy something, which didn't seem nearly as appealing.
Here are the deets
Vintage McCalls pattern, dated 1977. Size 8.
I have had this one in the stash for quite some time.
It is described as an unlined jacket with raglan sleeves, hood and front button fastening.
I did have to do quite a bit of work to turn this into a warm jacket but it was a great shell to start from.
Outer layer: nylon leopard print taffeta (bought for $2 m from Spotlight)
Inner layer: premium, thick polar fleece, in baby pink of course
Lining: mystery shiny stuff from the stash, again in pink.
Hood lining: silver mesh, long time stash resident, circa late last century.
Cuffs: mystery rib knit from the stash.
Trim: vintage hot pink nylon velvet ribbon for the hood and hem and silver snaps for closures.
Sewing Notes
I think I have trumped myself on last year's jacket, which only got a couple of outings. This took quite a while of thinking and deliberating and while not necessarily hard to sew, everything needed to be done accurately and in the right order. I tossed around different fastening and pocket ideas but in the end went easy on myself and chose the simplest options to sew.
I cut the body, sleeves and hood from the taffeta and polar fleece fabrics and quilted these together and then treated this as a single piece of fabric.
I cut the lining from the same pattern pieces, sewed these together and then used this to underline the jacket, so it is not really a true lining but does the job of hiding all those messy seams.
I needed to draft a back facing for the neck, the pattern had a different finish as it was not originally lined, and I cut a third layer, the mesh fabric, for the hood lining.
The velvet ribbon was used to trim the hood and jacket hem and I made some pocket flaps to add to the patch pockets.
I used metal snaps instead of buttons and buttonholes and used some grey ribbing to finish the sleeves instead of the original elastic casing.
While it does seem a bit of a hodge podge of fabrics and textures, some bits are new, some bits are old, I think it has come together quite nicely. All up, and not considering the value of my time, this jacket cost just under $30 to make. Which I think would be about half the price of something similar in RTW so I will count that as a win!
And I got this finished just in the nick of time for Pattern Review's outerwear contest. Yay me!
While I did enjoy making this, the project has sucked all of my sewing mojo out of me, so I expect I will be floundering a bit sewing wise for a while. I don't have anything that NEEDS to be made right now so things could be quite for a while!

In 1607, shortly after the Augustinian Recoleto Missionaries arrived in Zambales, they heard stories of the Miraculous Lady of the Aetas.Thinking this to be part of their "anito worship",the priest wanted to see the miraculous Lady.Upon seeing the image,the Recoletos missionaries were amazed."This is unbelievable",cried the young friar."It's our Blessed Mother! How can she be here ahead of us!"the older priest said ,"She must have paved the way for our coming."
The friars transferred the image to the Church.There She stayed until after the Philippine Revolution.After executing the Parish priest,Fr. Julian Jimenez,patriot rebels took the image to their newly established church, The Philippine Independent Church.
In 1976, a columban priest, Rev. Fr. Patrick Duggan ordered a replica made of the Ina Poon Bato image by the famous religious scultor, Maximo Vicente.
In 1981, moved by an inner prompting ,Mother Therese Vicente H.F.J., Foundress of the Holy Face of Jesus, borrowed the image and brought it to Mrs.Rosellyn Enciso Magsaysay for her to promote the devotion.The diocese of Zambales,under His Eminence Bishop Henry Byrne,gave the devotion and the mission ecclesiastical approval.Then Fr.Duggan asked Rosellyn Magsaysay to replace his wooden Statue at the grotto that was damaged due to exposure to the rain and sunlight. Then restored by Mrs. Rosellyn Magsaysay.Fr. Duggan gave the wooden statue to her as a gift.Which is now known as the International Pilgrim Image that has been canonically blessed by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter Square,Vatican,Rome.
Since then Ina Poon Bato has been to nearly all the Dioceses in the Philippines.She visited various States in America,Europe and Asian countries.In Rome,accompanied by Archbishop Paciano Ancieto,D.D.,the image was blessed by Pope John Paul II.(see photos below)
A moving memento of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was the picture of Ina Poon Bato half buried in lahar at her grotto in Botolan,Zambales. At the same time, Pope John Paul II received a statue of Ina Poon Bato wherein he led the people in prayer for the victims of Mt. Pinatubo eruption.
Internationally known seers and healers have become devotees to Ina,among them is Sr. Philip Marie Burle, who travels with picture of Ina in her Bible, and the Irish seer Christina Gallagher , who asked for a statue of Ina, which she received on her visit to the Philippines in 1992.
Wherever Ina goes and makes Her visits, Ina leaves behind blessings and miracles ranging from instant cures to financial help. Ina brings hope to those She visits in hospitals, churches, offices and private homes. Ina strengthens the faith and brings her closer to Her Son Jesus Christ .
Bishop Henry Byrne
On May 31,1982, the Catholic prelate of Zambales, Bishop Henry Byrne, seconded the message that the Blessed Mother made through Mother Therese.
In a letter to Mrs. Magsaysay, the prelate claimed great pleasure over the success of the pilgrimage of Ina PoonBato in Zambales, and at the willingness of the BSK movement to take the statue on pilgrimage to places outside the province of Zambales or the prelature of Iba.
He said, I am most pleased to give my consent that you take the statue outside of our Prelature to any Diocese to which you may have been invited with the consent of the local Bishops either in the Philippines or to a Philippine Community abroad.
This was to be affirmed by Bishop Byrne's Successor,Bishop Paciano B. Ancieto two years later then next is Most Rev. Deogracias S. Iniguez,Jr.,D.D. and the present Bishop Florentino G. Lavarias.The Bishop expressed appreciation over your generous effort and sacrifices in propagating the devotion Lady of Peace of Good Voyage of Poon Bato, Zambales,Philippines.
After the Mount Pinatubo eruption,the lost Shrine of Ina that Bishop Byrne constructed was buried in Lahar,now, a new shrine was constructed at the new site located in Loob Bunga relocaton Center in Botolan ,Zambales.
The lost shrine of Ina Poon Bato in Poon Bato,Botolan,Zambales, that was built by Bishop Henry Byrne( 1st Bishop of Zambales) which was buried under lahar during the Mount Pinatubo Eruption.
The new shrine now located in Poon Bato,Loob Bunga Resettlement Site,Botolan Zambales , that was built by the devotees of Ina Poon Bato,spearheaded by Ina Poon Bato Foundation assisted by Governor Vic Magsaysay(Zambales).
Ina Poon Bato Foundation,Headed by the founder/President,Rosellyn Enciso Magsaysay,organized a fund raising with Rosario Lopez as Chair and Former First Lady Loi Ejercito Estrada as Chairman of the Advisory Council and Bishop Deogracias Yniguez with Monsignor Cacho as Spiritual Director.
Thus embarked Ina on Her to Many Places in the country and foreign lands.
Jaime Cardinal Sin officiated Her enthronement at the Manila Cathedral.
On Her Visit to the Diocese of Davao,photos taken seconds in time apart caught Her smiling,evocative of the smile on the image's face at the backseat of Rosellyn 's car in 1981.
These pictures,taken seconds apart,one after the other ,were photograph last March 5,1983 in Davao City be seen clearly that Ina's countenance has been seen to change -sometimes very serious,like photo on the left and then sometimes smiling like the photo on right.
This Miraculous event took place during the dawn procession of the Rosary Rally Crusade for World Peace ,a special project of the Balikatan sa Kaunlaran Movement for Spiritual upliftment,which is head by Mrs.Rosellyn Enciso-Magsaysay.It has been ecclesiastically approved by the late Bishop Henry Byrne of Zambales.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated under many titles.This reflects Her reflector as the chosen woman most blessed among all and the widespread devotion accorded the maiden of Nazareth who became the Queen of heaven and earth.
Among the titles under which she has exercised her maternal solitude especially to the aetas and other Zambalenos all over the world and now extending to more and more devotees is Ina Poonbato.
Poonbato is one of the thirteen barangays peopled by the aetas in Botolan Zambales.These barangays were buried under the ashes of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.But the barangays continue to carry their original names in the places where the inhabitants have resettled."Ina" is the title fittingly expressing the Blessed Mother's continuing solitude for all her children and manifesting their trust and love for her. This appellation appropriately stresses the role she has been destined by her son Jesus to play in life of every disciple and of the community His disciples have formd and will form.
Ina Poonbato is popularly called "Apo Apang" among her devotees at the Aglipayan church in Zambales.This Points to the original title from which the present image derived inspiration- namely, Nuestra Senora de la Paz y Buen Viaje."Apang" is a common nickname for "Paz". Ina poonbato is the bearer of peace to individuals, families, associations,villages, towns and provinces.
The many wondrous ,some all miraculous, incidents and manifestations connected with Ina Poonbato are eloquent approvals of Jesus and His Holy Mother to the devotion accorded the Blessed Virgin Mary under this title-in Zambales.throughout the Philippines and in many other parts of the world.

Professor James S. Liebman
Open to 2L and 3L students
Maximum of 4 students per semester
|Fall and Spring semesters
Held at Columbia University
14 credits*
No pre- or co-requisites
The United States is in the midst of a massive restructuring of public-sector service delivery. Staffed by broadly interdisciplinary teams of accomplished and motivated professionals, the most successful of these new federal, state and local reforms are replacing outmoded public bureaucracies with "learning organizations" committed to using public problem-solving techniques to enhance the will and capacity of public organizations to improve the life chances of the nation's most underserved populations. Nowhere are these changes more important and promising, yet also challenging and controversial, than in the governance, management and democratic accountability of the nation's public schools.
The Center for Public Research and Leadership ("CPRL") is a partnership of top professional schools that prepares talented graduate students for leadership and professional positions in public education organizations committed to improving the life chances of all children. This full-semester Clinic brings together upper-level graduate students in law, business, education and policy from NYU, Columbia, Dartmouth, Fordham, Michigan, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Yale and other universities to immerse themselves in emerging and competing strategies for P-12 reform; structured, team-based problem-solving skills that effective public organizations use to address their most difficult challenges; and high-priority consulting projects on behalf of government and social-sector organizations serving the educational needs of children. The Clinic is offered by the Center for Public Research and Leadership, a partnership between NYU Law School and professional schools at the universities listed above.
Course Description
Participants in this Clinic will engage in:
- A comprehensive seminar in the design, transformation and democratic accountability of P-12 school systems and allied public- and social-sector organizations.
- Skills training in a constellation of twenty-first century problem-solving competencies, , including working in diverse teams to address multi-dimensional problems; design thinking; problem-oriented inquiry; quantitative and qualitative analysis and measurement; organizational macro- and micro-design; project and product management; client-centered and policy-focused interviewing; and the presentation of professional advice to government clients.
- A high-priority, professionally guided consulting project on which an interdisciplinary team of professional students will provide research, design, strategic planning, and/or counseling assistance on initiatives that interweave legal, regulatory, governance, management, policy, technological and/or operational problems and are central to the mission of the client organization—typically, a state department of education, school district, charter management organization, social-services agency or other non-profit serving children.
The classroom components of the course are front-loaded in the semester to give student teams and their team leaders ample time on-site at their client organizations in the New York City area and throughout the U.S. (travel expenses are covered by the Clinic). Team assignments are based on student preferences and skills as well as client needs.
James S. Liebman, Columbia Law professor and former senior official at the New York City Department of Education leads the course and conducts its academic seminar. Consulting projects are guided by a team of experienced managers employed full-time by the Clinic who bring extensive experience in P-12 education, management consulting and other professional endeavors. Under Professor Liebman's direction, these managers assure that the project work is both challenging and achievable by the student teams, and they provide students with intensive one-on-one feedback and personalized professional development and mentorship.
Course Components
- Full semester course load of 14 credits, including
○ Approximately 48 seminar hours over 14 weeks;
○ Approximately 28 hours of focused skills training over 14 weeks;
○ Average of 24 hours/week working on consulting teams for K-12 organizations under the guidance of experienced engagement managers;
- A culminating paper reflecting on the work performed on behalf of the client and on the broader institutional context in which the work occurred, drawing on the critical and theoretical perspectives introduced in the seminar portion of the course;
- CPRL placement support services to help interested students obtain attractive professional and management-level jobs in the education sector, along with mentorship and networking opportunities to enhance leadership skills.
- Tuition support awards for a limited number of students who demonstrate exceptional merit and need.
Examples of Past Projects
- America Achieves - Developed contractual and governance options for fostering inter-state and inter-district collaboration in the creation of new data-systems;
- Camden City School District - Advised district leadership on legal and policy implications of various mechanisms for reorganizing the district's schools and workforce;
- Cleveland Metropolitan School District - Designed (i) a comprehensive system of qualitative and quantitative measures of school effectiveness to provide schools with actionable improvement data and increase public accountability, and (ii) a process for annually identifying schools for improvement steps and restructuring, consistent with federal and state regulations;
- Louisiana Department of Education - Created a system for assuring the legality of different distance-learning options for public school children statewide, and for evaluating the effectiveness of the distance-learning programs and their implementation;
- New York Appleseed - Developed a plan for using the community-driven creation of new schools in areas of New York City undergoing rapid gentrification to expand and maintain social integration of schools without violating legal restrictions on race-based decisions making;
- Raise Your Hand Texas - Proposed a framework and identified legislative and necessary regulatory changes for maximizing the equitable distribution of funds to, and the autonomy and accountability of, schools and districts undertaking comprehensive improvement efforts.

Digestion is the key step for delivering beneficial food components (BFC) to the body
The facts
- Increase of lifestyle-related diseases (obesity, CVDs, type-2 diabetes…) in strong connection with the diet.
- Ageing of the EU population (30% EU population over 60 in 2030).
The needs
- Developing a "healthy ageing" approach
- Preventing rather than curing
- Training people how to have a correctly balanced diet
- Increasing our current knowledge on the effect of food on human health.
The Action
In the past, food digestion was mainly been investigated with respect to food composition.
Recent data show that food structure should be considered as well.
However, the disintegration of food in the digestive tract is still regarded as a "black box"
where the mechanisms of nutrient release remain unknown.
A multidisciplinary scientific approch is the key to the understanding of the digestive process.
Infogest aims at gathering scientists from different backgrounds in order to:
- share the current knowledge on food digestion
- demonstrate the effect of food on health.

"I have always been interested in the dark at the edge of the light. The reality of the light and dark reality is both in the lit physical world as well as the more dimly lit world of our psyche's. What inhabits that place? What do we do when all that we know is not enough to explain what appears before us?
I suppose the relationship between the dark and the light was solidified when I acquired a life threatening auto-immune disease that introduced me to unbearable pain and put me in a wheel chair for 4 years. Most of the short stories and poems in my books were written during that time. I have looked long and well into the dark, clear that it was to me my destination and have recovered and remain to tell more spooky stories."

Two of the Northwest's top female fighters will take center stage at CageSport presents Super Fight League 45 when Amy "The Resurrection" Montenegro and Glena "Heartless" Avila square off for the vacant SFL America strawweight championship on Dec. 12 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma.
The title bout will highlight the Brian Halquist Productions card, which will also include the highly anticipated return of undefeated Brent "Mankill" Knopp to the cage.
"It has been an incredible 2015 and what better way for us to end it than to have two of the best female MMA fighters battling it out for the SFL championship?" said promoter Brian Halquist. "On top of that we also have one of the area's most popular fighters returning after a two-year hiatus."
Montenegro, a resident of Issaquah, Wash., is 6-2 and is no stranger to competing at the Emerald Queen Casino, having fought three times in Tacoma. The venue is certainly a special place for Montenegro as it was at the EQC where her husband Dex Montenegro proposed to her following his victory on an April 23, 2013 CageSport card.
"I can't think of too many times someone captured an MMA championship at the very spot where their husband proposed to them," Halquist added. "Amy is a very gifted fighter and has developed a strong following locally. She's earned this title opportunity through sheer hard work. We're excited to have her back on the card."
Avila, the subject of the acclaimed 2014 documentary "Glena," which follows the fighter as she makes her MMA professional debut, went undefeated as an amateur before entering the pro ranks four years ago. She brings a record of 5-3 into the title bout and is coming off a unanimous decision over Cheryl Chan on June 27.
"If you have seen the documentary on her, you can tell just how passionate she is about this sport," Halquist said. "Her ring moniker is somewhat inaccurate because it seems like she's all heart."
Knopp, of Kirkland, Wash., climbs back into the cage for the first time since Dec. 7, 2013 and will look to pick up right where he left off. The current CageSport middleweight champion, Knopp (5-0-1) will be tested by Spokane veteran Jordan Currie (6-4) in a battle of light heavyweights.
Knopp, who was sidelined due to injuries for the past 24 months, has fought exclusively at the Emerald Queen Casino during his professional career, and has not disappointed the local fight fans, scoring all five of his victories by TKO. He defeated former StrikeForce fighter Cory Devela for the middleweight crown in his last bout two years ago.
"Mankill is back and the fans are ecstatic," Halquist said. "We haven't had too many fighters here match his popularity, and that's because he comes to fight every time and leaves everything in the ring. We've been fortunate enough to have him fight on six of our events. We're expecting more of the same excitement from Mankill in his return."
Currie (7-4) brings a two-bout winning streak into the 3-round affair, making quick work of Chris Folsom in his last fight on Sept. 5 when he scored a first-round KO.
Tickets are available through the EQC box office and all Ticket Master outlets. Doors open at 6 p.m. with preliminary bouts starting at 7 p.m.
Brian Halquist Productions will begin its 20th year of combative sports at Tacoma's Emerald Queen Casino in 2016. Halquist and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians announced 10 dates for 2016 – beginning on Jan. 15 with the 104th installment of the Battle at the Boat professional boxing series.
Super Fight League 45 is brought to you by Brian Halquist Productions and CageSport MMA. For more information, please visit www.halquistproductions.com and the CageSport MMA Facebook page.

Long Beach Island
Ocean County : Long Beach Island
Long Beach Island is a city in New Jersey.
Get in
Long Beach Island is about 18 miles long off of the coast of Southern New Jersey. There is only one road leading into and out of the Island, Rt. 72. If you are driving there, that would be the road that you would take. However, if you are using other modes of transportation, you would have to go to Manahawkin and have a car service take you over the bridge. Manahawkin is approximately 7 miles away from Long Beach Island.
From New York City
TransportAzumah, which usually travels between colleges, will be starting to travel from New York City to Long Beach Island over the summer. The busses will start to run on May 23, 2008 (Memorial Day Weekend) and go until September 26, 2008. The first and last months of the summer (May 23rd to June 20th and September 2nd to September 26th) the busses will only run from Friday nights to Sundays. The rest of the summer, however, the bus will run everyday of the week. It is $35 for a one way ticket, and if you are a student or child it is only $20.

Mr. Duck was my first crochet animal. Isn't he cute? Have I shared him before? I can't recall.. He's from a free pattern that unfortunately is no longer available.
My son just turned 11 yesterday and we celebrated by spending the night at a local waterpark hotel. Unfortunately, now my daughter seems to have the flu, so I don't know what we'll do tomorrow for Easter. I'm sure she'll be able to get herself into the kitchen to dye eggs, but otherwise, it's napping and TV for her. All my limits on media time go out the window when fevers are involved. Like lots of folks in the midwest, we have 8 inches of new wet snow, so we are staying inside in denial all day.
I shared these last year, but they are still cute!
Here's some spring cotton flowers I've made as well:

My niece's birthday was soon approaching. A three-years-old girl who likes to run.
I had a pink dress that I made in 1994. You know, the long-skirt dresses made of some small floral polyester? It was one of those. And I kept it all those years in a box because I loved that fabric. I knew it would come handy for a special occasion. My niece's birthday was that special occasion.
I also had a long piece of white polyester that had a greenish tint. I put it next to the dress — perfect for a quilt!
I set to work. I didn't have much time so I went for something simple. Two rectangles, five stripes. While sewing – and, I admit, reveling in the pink roses – I was thinking about a summer garden in bloom, butterflies going from a flower to another and a little girl running in glee.
I went to my stash of fabric and found some textured dark pink/fushia cotton (from a old sweater)
some beige-brown-orange textured polyester
and DMC threads for the details.
I spent hours handstitching the flowers and butterflies, seated comfortably, dreaming about next July.
I'm currently working on a pattern for this quilt that will soon be available for free on my web site. For all the little girls who like to run freely in a hot summer garden.

Barrett F. Gutter (Student)
In 2005, 16-year-old Barrett Gutter experienced Hurricane Katrina from his residence in Covington, Louisiana, a New Orleans bedroom community located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
If there can be a small benefit from what the Federal Emergency Management Agency designated "the single most catastrophic natural disaster in U.S. history" it would be this: Witnessing that tragic event led Gutter to eventually pursue a doctorate at Mississippi State and prepare for a teaching career in meteorology.
It took time for him to arrive at the Starkville university. His higher education experience actually began with the study of finance and membership on the golf team at Jackson's Belhaven College. Eventually, he transferred to the University of Alabama and the very different undergraduate study of geography.
"I always enjoyed weather, but I didn't think I would pursue meteorology when I went to college," he recalled recently. He credits "a professor at Alabama who got his degree from MSU" for "really sparking my interest in coming here to pursue weather."
In the spring of 2013, Gutter received his first MSU degree, a master's in professional meteorology from the Department of Geosciences.
While it might seem hard to top a first-hand Katrina experience, Gutter insists his most memorable weather experience involves the chase of what became known as the El Reno, Oklahoma, tornado of 2013. Measuring 2.6 miles across, the EF3 monster entered the record book as the widest tornado ever recorded in history.
At the time, Gutter was enrolled in severe storm methods, a geosciences course in which he now assists professor Mike Brown, leader of MSU's nationally recognized meteorology program. Over the past four years, he also has taught courses in physical geography and synoptic meteorology.
Last year, scholastic achievements at the graduate level earned Gutter a National Science Foundation Fellowship. With the prestigious award, he developed a weekly lesson for Columbus Middle School in neighboring Lowndes County that melded meteorological knowledge with STEM curricula.
STEM is the widely used acronym describing educational programs that prepare primary and secondary students for collegiate-level study in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
"It was very rewarding being able to work with young students and spark their interest in science," Gutter said. "A lot of them didn't realize they could pursue certain career paths in science, so it was a great experience getting to introduce them to that."
After completing the terminal degree, he is planning for a career that enables others to share his passion for meteorology.
"One thing I have discovered through this process is how much I love teaching," he said. "I definitely hope to be a professor once I finish."

The good news is that Terrence Jones saw nearly 20 minutes of playing time and left us with a brutal highlight to enjoy. The bad news is that there was a game tonight. With the nascent form of a D'antoni offense set up in Los Angeles, the Lakers had their way with the Rockets, punishing them from the arc, from the paint and from the free throw line. They shot 45% from deep. They hit 54% overall. They only hit 18 free throws out of 28, but they got 28 free throws.
The Rockets produced another game line that looks like a win until you see what the other guys did. They shot like a decent team, even though the egregious misses seem to stick in my head more. 49% from the field and 39% from three are quite respectable numbers. It's harder to be proud of 11-18 free throw shooting, but that's anomalous for a generally good free throw team. They didn't really lose in any major category, despite what it looked like. They Rockets notched more offensive and total rebounds, and more assists. They trailed by only two steals, two blocks and two turnovers. The only two stats which stand out are the two most important: 22 Rockets fouls to 15 on the Lakers, and 6% better shooting from the field for Los Angeles.
While Kobe and his triple double clearly earn the game ball tonight, Chandler Parsons was the best Rocket on the floor. He his 8-10 of his shots, including a fantastic 4-5 from the arc. 24 points on 10 shots is amazing, even if he only recorded 1 rebound tonight. 3 assists and a steal don't hurt either.
The rest of the Rockets had a surprisingly even performance, implying that they're beginning to learn how to share the ball well. Of course, it also probably has something to do with Harden being the focus of Metta World Peace's defense. Harden had 20 points on 7-18 shooting as well as 7 assists and a couple rebounds. He's distributing and creating well, but also taking a turnover hit (5). That's somewhat to be expected, but his assist to turnover ratio and his effective field goal percentage (an honestly disappointing 48%) are not quite what you need from a max player. It's likely a lot of this could change if another true scoring threat it signed or traded for, but for now he's carrying a tough load.
Lin still can't shoot: 2-9 just sucks. He can still pass: 10 assists and 3 turnovers is quite good. It's another verse of "if only he could shoot." Asik and Patterson did their jobs with decent shooting (4-6 for Omer, 7-13 for Pat) and solid rebounding (8 and 9 respectively). The defensive end was a bit stickier for them. Gasol got all the open midrange looks he wanted, and Dwight was a terror in the paint. The midrange looks probably could have been prevented somewhat, but it's not clear what more Asik could have done. He also took another hit to the face, this time requiring stitches on the bridge of his nose. For the second time in 10 games, he came out of the locker room with fresh stitches. Hopefully this won't continue.
Morris continues to make a case for two things. One: He's trying to be the sixth man, and he's looking convincing. 12 points on 12 shots isn't great, but it's not bad. And 8 rebounds in 25 minutes is fine by me. He hustles and he's clearly getting better. He's also some kind of hybrid big-wing who can do a bit of just about everything. Two: He's making everyone who called him a bust look silly. I openly admit to being on that train, and openly admit that he's proving me wrong. Fine by me. I'd love for every current Rockets player to prove me wrong by playing better than I thought possible.
Terrence Jones got real minutes tonight, scoring 8 points, grabbing 4 rebounds and dropping 3 dimes. What we'll all forget is that he was the one who Kobe shot that miracle shot through for the almost-a-3-pointer and one. What we'll remember is that he vaporized Jodie Meeks on a spectacular dunk. It's been posted everywhere, so please, revel in it.
The Rockets were liable to be blown out sooner or later, and it happened to come at the hands of the Lakers. Everyone pencilled them in for a finals appearance a few weeks ago, and they're finally starting to make that look possible. For the past few years, it's felt like the Rockets lead the league in morale boosts for other teams, with everyone getting a much needed win at the expense of the boys in red. If they could stop allowing open threes all night long, they might be able to shake that. Somehow, the defense has looked worse with defensive coordinator Kelvin Sampson temporarily holding the reins.
4-6 is better than the 3-7 we had to swallow the last couple years, but not by much. If they can't get their defense into the top 10 or so, they'll keep losing tough games. But at least they have upside, and Kobe can't take that away.

Great Courses: The New Testament
The last lecture was on the letters by Paul. These were written over a period of perhaps two decades to churches and/or individuals under greatly varying circumstances, as were Paul's circumstances. The lecturer, Bart Ehrman, claims that three of the letters, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are all forgeries, and cites "differences of language". He notes that this claim is based on different use of language and a remarkably different attitude towards women. My main note is that those three letters were written to individuals, along with Philemon. Philemon also has rather different language use, but it is with regard to reconciling Philemon with an escaped slave. Since freeing of escaped slaves is not yet politically incorrect, it is not the least bit surprising that modernists consider it to be "genuine". Thus, we get to the core: If modernists don't like the message, then they deem it to be a forgery and search relentlessly for "evidence" to prove their point. But then somehow the note in 1 Corinthians is missed: "the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says". This Paul is claimed to be a different one from the misogynist author of Timothy and Titus.
Today's lecture was on the gospels. Ehrman notes that the authors of these gospels were highly literate Greeks, for which we agree. The problem develops when he implies that the gospel message had been pass through about a dozen or more people before finally reaching the author who put it into print. Is this the way educated Greeks were taught to do their history? Of course not. If we go with the gospel of Mark being written 65ADish, then we are faced with the fact of their being apostles still alive and many eye witnesses. Would the Greek authors really not bother to find someone who knew the story most accurately? He then spends a lot of time dwelling on minor differences between the accounts, but fails to note that a modern court trial would feature even greater discrepancies among the eye witnesses to something that happened a few days or weeks earlier. Not to mention some of our politicians who can't remember anything. The easy solution to all this is simply to accept what everyone generally accepted: That about the time Peter was executed, he had Mark put his memories down on paper. A similar pattern was followed by Matthew and John. The evidence conforms to the tradition, thus, why do we fly off and seek a conspiracy theory for which this era provides not a single similar example? Luke refers to the patterns of the ancient Greeks directly for his history, which Ehrman, being a scholar who undoubtedly knows that this is firmly established, refuses to even mention. This is what "Great Courses" are made of.

Hi Looney,
You know that those "great" scholars will also argue that your resistance to their argument is due to the fact that you refuse to see the truth that goes against your religious sensitivities, or whatever they can come up with.
But anyway, Paul's different language can be interpreted as his minding his several different "audiences". It's either that or the man was a natural-born politician, a manipulator.
- Looney said...
Hello Max,
Yes, that argument was thrown out there on the video. I don't have a problem with that as long as we admit that scholars themselves are one more mono-culture with a twisted agenda.
All humans use language to influence others. Scholars are not above this, nor is this some radical discovery of the modern world.
- Max Coutinho said...
So you see, King Shlomo was right: nothing new under the sun :).
As the cycles of rebirth continue, all that we say has already been said before, only we adapt our words and thoughts to "modernity"; but in the end, the essence is the same.
Most Scholars are vain creatures, they think they know it all.
You are right.
- Looney said...
Max, you have quoted one of my favorite Bible verses. Have a good weekend!
- Max Coutinho said...
It is a beautiful quote indeed. Have a blessed weekend, my friend :D.

The Melbourne Fire Department has been protecting our community since 1916. First established as the volunteer fire department of two small towns (Eau Gallie and Melbourne), the Melbourne Fire Department has grown over the years to become a full-service professional department it is today, meeting the needs of a city more than 44 square miles in size with more than 77,000 residents.
Major milestones of the Melbourne Fire Department's creation and history:
The cities of Melbourne and Eau Gallie organize their first volunteer fire departments.
1924 – 1929
Both Melbourne & Eau Gallie build new fire stations and purchase their first motorized fire apparatus. They also reorganized, restructured and became more formal organizations to respond to increased needs of the community.
First paid professional fire fighters added to both departments.
The City of Eau Gallie and the City of Melbourne merge to form one unified city under the name City of Melbourne. The two fire departments merged to form the Melbourne Fire Department.
Volunteer fire fighters were completely replaced by professional paid fire fighters. The International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1951 was formed. Several new fire stations were constructed and manned.
The Melbourne Fire Department continues to expand and replaces aging apparatus and equipment.
Station 77 is built and additional personnel are hired to staff the station. The addition of the station provided for better coverage for the north end of the City allowing for quicker response to incidents.
The City of Melbourne, along with other municipal fire departments, participated in the First Responder Program. The program provides paramedics that perform advanced life support medical care to critically ill or injured patients. The collaboration between city and county first responders has reduced response times for advanced life support fire units and has provided for timely transport to area hospitals.
Station 74 and Fire Administration relocate to a new facility on Hickory Street.
Station 78 is built, and additional personnel hired to staff the station. The addition of the station provided for better coverage for the south end of the City allowing for quicker response to incidents.
Station 71 is rebuilt at its current location. Fire Administration relocates to Station 71.
A Unified Command Trailer is donated to the City's fire department and police department. The command trailer is deployed for large scale events in which the fire department and/or police department are involved.
The department restructures its administrative staff, and the addition of a Division Chief of Training is approved.

One Bit of Rock or Moor
Susan Eilenberg
- Wordsworth and the Victorians by Stephen Gill
Oxford, 300 pp, £25.00, April 1998, ISBN 0 19 811965 8
- The Five-Book Prelude by William Wordsworth, edited by Duncan Wu
Blackwell, 214 pp, £40.00, April 1997, ISBN 0 631 20548 9
Durability was what mattered. Wordsworth founded his poetry on what he called 'the beautiful and permanent forms of nature' and built it according to 'the primary laws of our nature'. It cleaved stubbornly to facts, to countable things, to rocks and stones and trees, and behaved rather like the boy Wordsworth himself, who, as he much later reported, often 'grasped at a wall or tree' on his way to school in order to reassure himself of the material reality of a world he did not entirely believe in. Single sheep were to refute by their superior probability the 'abyss of idealism' that threatened to reduce even mountains to nothingness, or roaring mist, or 'huge and mighty forms that do not live/Like living men' and that eclipse the 'familiar shapes/Of hourly objects'. Even the most solid and reassuringly massive of Wordsworth's objects suggest an uneasy awareness of the instability, the nothingness, against which they have been invoked but to which they are liable to succumb. Even the most matter-of-fact of his poems suggest the same imminent threat of 'blank desertion'.
For all their determination granitelike to endure, Wordsworth's poems have historically proved unstable entities. For that instability Wordsworth and the culture of his age and that which followed were responsible. The poet presented his poems in such a way that they seemed to confirm either what a reader chose to believe or what an editor wished him to believe. In his rich, engrossing account of Wordsworth's commercial and cultural absorption into diverse aspects of Victorian culture, Stephen Gill reveals the currency throughout the 19th century of more varieties – and more incompatible ones – of Wordsworth than a modern reader can comfortably keep track of. Nor is the instability all a matter of past blindness and Victorian prejudices: offering his edition of a Wordsworth Prelude that may never fully have come into being and whose brief existence, if it had one, is beyond proof, Duncan Wu reminds us once more of the insubstantiality of any claim to know just what Wordsworth was about.
Wordsworth's textual being and meaning changed continually even during his lifetime. Writing and rewriting, arranging and rearranging, he left a body of work that is not only its own increasingly orthodox monument but also its own finicking solvent. Mere multiplication, the result of the poet's inability to leave his poems alone, compromises the authenticity, undoes the apparent self-evidence that was his object. Earlier text challenges later text, and intermediate versions compete with both.
The question for 19th-century and modern editors has been which version of his work to prefer. No publisher could publish it all in all its permutations, nor would any but the most devoted reader have the patience to read it. There is simply too much in too many forms. Most immediately formidable are the nine collected editions, which began appearing in 1815, about the time Wordsworth's creative energies had begun to give way to irritability. But this accumulation comes on top of the 15 volumes of new works Wordsworth published in his lifetime, and on top of the Prelude, published three months after his death, and of 'Home at Grasmere', originally intended as Book I of the never-written Recluse, as well as the many intermediate versions of individual poems Wordsworth seems never to have intended to publish at all. Wordsworth's obsessive revision and rearrangement, though performed in the conscious service of the definitive, made determination of just what was definitive ambiguous during his lifetime and set a precedent for tinkering that many of his posthumous editors and publishers would follow.
Gill reports that although copyright first controlled which Wordsworth the book-buying public would encounter, as copyrights of individual works and, later, the final collected edition lapsed, publishers published as they pleased. The market for Wordsworth in almost any form was insatiable, and within a few years of his death there were Wordsworths for every taste. Between 1858 and 1882 more than fifty editions of the poetry – individual works, selections and complete editions – appeared in Britain and the US. They ranged from dignified authorised editions to skimpy school texts to luxurious gilded volumes with distracting illustrations of pretty children anachronistically garbed and sentimental maidens in quasi-medieval settings. The texts of many of these editions (including Matthew Arnold's) were surprising: they included poems appearing under newly concocted titles, selections ingeniously fashioned from distinct versions, and promiscuous arrangements that not even Wordsworth had attempted.
This 'textual anarchy', as Gill calls it, was made possible by a combination of reverence for the poet's wisdom and indifference to his admittedly changeable bibliographical intentions. It is a combination less inconsistent, or at least less incomprehensible, than may first appear, for the devotion Wordsworth inspired had less to do with the words he wrote than with their surmised spirit. Gill suggests that what had pulled him from the semi-obscurity in which he had long since lost his creative power was not the magic of his writing but Coleridge's death in 1834, an event that prompted the nation to think back and wonder what had happened to that other Lake Poet.

The Cure: Week 5.0 – Getting Into the Thick of It
(Pic of the week: Liz is doing great work in Brooklyn!)
Quote of the Week from Jess (BTW we all do this):
"Not to be too therapy-ish, but one deep treatment revelation i've had is the extent to which our apartment has developed more as a product of necessity than design. not a lot of reflection has gone into our space – we've just gone through choosing things that seemed appealing and useful at the time, without a discernible theme in sight. which come to think of it is kinda like my career path."
We actually got into the thick of it last week, but this week we get some good traction under our rear wheels and head into the home stretch.
This week is lighter in one respect, but it shifts the emphasis to taking care of yourself. This is hard for many people. It is easier to get busy than to relax or slow down, but that is exactly what you must do this week. Aside from cleaning up the office area and/or testing paint colors, the big challenge is the Media Fast and Sunday Night 101. Both of these activities require the rearrangement of your inner space. Both of these activities will increase your enjoyment of your home and whoever you share it with.
And remember, the point of the Cure is not to bite off too much and stress yourself out. It is to bite off just enough that you impact your home, develop some new habits and ENJOY your home. Being successful when battling the dust and clutter demons is extremely important. This week take a good long look at what you can accomplish in the next four weeks and take out whatever will keep you from a good, safe landing.
This Week's Assignment:
Deep Treatment – Working throught the Office area, decluttering files, cooking and getting some rest.
One Room Remedy – Ordering from your shopping list, testing paint samples on the wall, finalizing paint choices.
Pics & Links from last week:
• Good forum for planning your kitchen at Livemodern
• Marva and Brian continue to struggle with their Landing Strip!
• Lisa's blogging her Cure here and keeping on going, even though she was in Finals week!
• Amber's Pics
Worksheets are available here. Click here for the Book Blog.
