Dr. Willard's Reviews Our Patented Concentrates and Gels
Since we're in the middle of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the invention of Dr. Willard's Water®, we thought it would be the perfect time to re emphasize the many benefits of our products, as well as explain the similarities and differences of our CLEAR™, Dark™ and Ultimate concentrates, as well as some of the gels.
History Behind our Products
It is hard to believe that 50 years has already passed since Dr. Willard's Water® was invented by the founder of the company, Dr. John Willard, Sr. PhD, Professor of Chemistry. Dr. Willard "accidentally" discovered this new formula while trying to develop a trace mineral water out of lignite. When mixing regular water with lignites and other materials, such as fossilized organics from activated carbon, amino acids and trace minerals, the scientist realized that he was able to change the molecular structure of regular water and create his patented micelle catalyst. The new solution was first termed Catalyst Altered Water because Dr. Willard noticed it was boosting many bodily functions and thus he theorized his new solution was acting as a catalyst in the body. This CAW micelle, created during the process of developing Dr. Willard's Water, is a small, but very high energy particle with a powerful negative magnetic field, that causes the formation of "a catalyst that alters the structure of water, making water behave in a manner that heretofore has not been reported in the literature" as stated by Dr. Willard, himself. The new water is more reactive that typical water since is able to break down nutrients to be better absorbed by the body, as well as break down toxins to help them be excreted from the body via the bloodstream. By breaking down nutrients in the food we eat and the supplements we consume, Dr. Willard's Water® helps us absorb more vitamins and minerals into our bodies.
This complex formula is used by thousands of people worldwide to maintain optimum health, as well as to aid their agriculture to grow more healthy and abundant. Research has proven that when animals and plants ingest Dr. Willard's Water®, it is able to improve the removal of toxins as well as deliver nutrients to cells through the bloodstream.
Willard Water® products
For fifty years people from all over the world have been drinking Willard Water® products to help maintain optimum health, increase absorption of vital vitamins and nutrients and increase free radical scavenging through better antioxidant absorption. Like any scientist Dr. Willard continued to refine and update his formula throughout the rest of his life and as a result there are now three distinct Willard Water® products. While all three Willard Water® products contain the same basic formulation of catalyst and lignite, the differences in concentration of these ingredients have been found to affect usage and effectiveness on a variety of different levels.
Willard Water® CLEAR™ Concentrate
The Willard Water® CLEAR Concentrate is the first product developed by Dr. Willard and remains the most popular. It is usually recommended for first time customers in a large part because it has no taste when added to water and many of the studies done on Willard Water® products were done on the CLEAR. This formula contains a strong dose of the micelle catalyst (twice as many as in the DARK Concentrate), but not as many trace minerals as the DARK and ULTIMATE. This formula is recommended for those individuals that are getting their trace minerals from other sources, but want to enhance nutrient absorption and detoxification caused by the patented micelle catalyst. Many people also use it as a supplement to their daily vitamin regimen or as an additive to their green tea to maximize absorption of the antioxidants in green tea. It's also a wonderful product for those who care about the alkalinity of the water they drink.
This formula must be diluted according to instructions to ensure maximum effectiveness; add one liquid ounce (two tablespoons) of The Willard Water® CLEAR™ Concentrate to one gallon of distilled, spring, filtered or tap water. We recommend drinking at least four glasses of diluted CLEAR per day.
Dr. Willard's Water® DARK™ Concentrate
Dr. Willard's Water® DARK™ Concentrate has about half the patented catalyst of the CLEAR™ Concentrate, but a much higher concentration of fossilized organics (activated carbon, amino acids, 19 trace minerals and other desirable ingredients obtained from lignite, the fossil remains of plants grown 50 million years ago). This formula is most beneficial for individuals that want to maximize their trace mineral intake; trace minerals have been shown to help build strong bones and teeth, as well as regulate the body's energy, work as an antioxidant, and help in nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction
The DARK must be diluted according to instructions to ensure maximum effectiveness: Add two liquid ounces (four tablespoons) of Dr. Willard's Water® DARK Concentrate to one gallon of distilled, spring, filtered or tap water. Do not use carbonated water.
Dr. Willard's Water® ULTIMATE Concentrate
Dr. Willard's Water® ULTIMATE Concentrate is really the "ultimate" choice when deciding which formula to purchase because it offers the same concentration of trace minerals as the DARK, as well as the same amount of the patented catalyst as the CLEAR™ Concentrate. This formula is most recommended for the assimilation of nutrients, as well as the removal of toxins, and works as a free radical scavenger.
The ULTIMATE Concentrate must be diluted according to instructions to ensure maximum effectiveness: add one liquid ounce (two tablespoons) of Dr. Willard's Water® ULTIMATE Concentrate to one gallon of distilled, spring, filtered or tap water. Do not use carbonated water.
Dr. Willard's Water® Topical Gel
Using some of the ingredients of our concentrates, we created a Topical Gel, which has been a hit with customers for over 30 years! This contains our patented, secret formula, along with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Allantoin; ingredients which are fragrance and toxin-free, and soothe the skin.
Dr. Willard's Water® Aloe Gel
In response to customer demand for a great skin care product, this Aloe Gel was developed, joining the cellular absorption and moisture retention qualities of Willard Water® with the incredible properties of Aloe Vera. Even though the Aloe plant has been used for thousands of years, when combined with Willard Water®, its medicinal properties are enhanced.
The Aloe Gel can be used daily to moisturize the skin, as a treatment after sunburn or overexposure to the sun, or as a pre-shave or aftershave.
Which concentrate do you use? Let us know on our Facebook or Twitter pages.

That's because I've been invited to the Gluten Free Food Allergy Fest this next weekend in beautiful Austin.
It takes place this Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9 from 10:00AM to 4:00 PM at the Austin Convention Center located at 500 E Cesar Chavez Street in Exhibit Hall 1. There will be over 75 exhibitors with seminars and cooking demonstrations going on both days. You can get 10% off your tickets by going to their website and entering discount code 10off
This is my first time to Austin and I am excited because so many people over the years who have been enjoying my recipes have enthusiastically told me that the community there will appreciate the uniqueness they bring to allergen free eating. Not only are my cookbooks completely free of gluten, dairy & refined sugar, but the recipes eliminate many other allergens as well. Plus, the food is delicious and nutritious. I think that's why my books are carried by over 300 naturopathic and holistic medical offices across the country for sale to their patients. I feed my family from these books so that is why in each book you'll enjoy a complete array of foods from breakfast, lunch, dinner, soups & salads to snacks, treats, baked goods and desserts. The added bonus is the quality of the books themselves: They are hard backs with functional hidden spirals to hold the the thick, glossy pages filled with full color photographs for virtually every recipe.
If you'd like to learn a little more about my newest book, check out a couple of posts about them: Even More Delightfully Free is Here! and Even More Delightfully Free's Recipes.

Paul, I must have passed them hundreds of times and still think they are magnificent every single time. Mind you we live surrounded by Druid lore and the Tor (again a beautiful view, especially from miles away up on the hills) is within eyesight in a few minutes so I guess it's just what you are used to :)
Having grown up at Pendle, with the Lancashire witches as a very big part of my childhood, and where visiting Demdyke and Nutter's graves was considered a special day out, I feel quite comfortable with the Stones ;D
Paul S.:
yes, I'd agree that distance lends beauty to the eye, and quite true that images like the Tor and Henge when viewed as silhouettes on a sky line do have an appeal. I've nothing against Somerset by the way :) - used to go fishing on the 'levels' as a lad.
Re Nailsea - there's a lot of poignancy we tend to overlook in these early manufacturing processes - was just thinking of the child labour of which Vincent speaks........11 and 12 year olds working twelve hour shifts holding shovels at the furnaces to shield the gatherers - with shift work obligatory and Sunday off if you were lucky. But do notice they had pc even in the mid C19 - apparently if you were illiterate you were described as a 'non-reader', so I shall view my hat and 'cello with more reverence.

Paul Cézanne
If you want to follow in Paul Cézanne's footsteps, you will find no shortage of places to visit in Aix en Provence. The artist was born here in 1839, and he died here too in 1906, having spent almost all his life in the city.
All the major Cézanne sites are reviewed here. Scroll down to see the key locations around Aix en Provence and click here for our guide to a Cézanne-themed drive or ride around the Mont Sainte Victoire.
Click here to read about L'Estaque, the nearby fishing port which was another of his favourite haunts and subjects, here to read a review of the Musée Granet, the museum in Aix which once refused to accept his work (and now rues the day) and here to read about an offbeat children's thriller inspired by the theft of a painting by Cézanne, who appears briefly in the book as one of the characters.
Cézanne et Moi (Cézanne and I) is a film shot in Aix and the countryside around Mont Saint Victoire and explores the tense and complex rivalry between Cézanne and one of the greatest writers of the 19th century.
The English subtitled version is now available on DVD and you can order it from Amazon here.
Cézanne and Émile Zola were childhood friends and remained close for decades. But their relationship came under huge strain when Zola achieved fame and wealth for blockbuster novels such as L'Assommoir (1877) and Germinal (1885).
Meanwhile Cézanne had plunged into bold experiments in art that were later hailed as revolutionary. But his genius went unrecognised.
Then in 1886 Zola published a novel, L'Oeuvre (it's called The Work of Art or The Masterpiece in English), about a failed artist who ends by tragically losing confidence in himself.
Cézanne took offence, guessing - probably correctly - that the character was in part based on him. Cézanne et Moi traces the two men's lives and relationship over 40 years.
Cézanne was born in Aix and spent most of his life there, while Zola grew up in the city before moving to Paris in his teens.
And many familiar Aix landmarks, such as the place d'Albertas, pictured, and the place de Archevêché have been given makeovers for the film to whisk them back in time to the late 19th century.
Cézanne and I is conceived by the Oscar-nominated writer-director Danièle Thompson. Guillaume Gallienne (Marie Antoinette) is cast as Cézanne while Guillaume Canet (The Beach; Merry Christmas) plays Zola.
Cézanne: A Life, by Alex Danchev is the first major new biography of the artist for many decades.
The Professor of International Relations at Nottingham University, Danchev is not a traditional art historian and comes at his subject from an unusual angle, partly drawing on the (fictional) work of Cézanne's boyhood friend, the novelist Emile Zola.
His biography has received rave reviews in The Sunday Times, The Spectator and elsewhere as a revealing and sympathetic portrait of a man who has always previously been regarded as prickly, physically awkward and aloof. Find Cézanne: A Life on Amazon.
Click here to book a hotel in Aix en Provence
In a couple of hours you can connect with Paul Cézanne's spirit on a leisurely self-guided walk through the heart of Aix past many of his haunts.
The studio where Cézanne worked till the end of his life, the Atelier des Lauves is steeped in the artist's personality. It displays his painting materials and personal belongings as if he had just popped out for air.
The Jas de Bouffan is the intensely atmospheric mansion where Paul Cézanne worked, on and off, for 40 years and produced some of his greatest art.
Hidden in a pine forest high on a sandstone plateau, the brooding Bibémus Quarries are a majestic location and Paul Cézanne mined them for inspiration at the peak of his career.
You'll often find them in a provençal bar: players engrossed in a game of cards. And, as with his celebrated cycle on the Mont Sainte Victoire, Cézanne was fascinated by these peasants and returned to them again and again.
Like most artists, Paul Cézanne liked to hang out in the most beautiful spots in town. And in summer his haunts in Aix are more than historic sights: they become the backdrops for some magical social occasions.

The following was sent to the I AM list by R.K. Shankar:
Dear All
On April 14th, the same day, at 8:13 p.m. IST (please
correct me, if I am wrong) way back in 1950, Sri
Bhagawan attained Mahasamadhi.
A couple of minutes before that He remembered Sri Kunju
Swami, a long-standing devotee and personal attendant of
Sri Bhagawan. Instantly, he was informed. When he
arrived, Sri Bhagawan said to him 'Santosham [literally
meaning 'I am happy' (but actually meaning I am happy
with your services over the years)']. When Sri Kunju
Swami wondered as to what Sri Bhagawan meant, Sri
Bhagawan replied, 'I said 'Thank You' (as they say in
English)'. Of course, the conversation was in Tamil
except for the word 'Thank You'.
Then, Sri Bhagawan asked the attendant to keep the
pillow straight. So long, He was in the sleeping
posture. Now, He resumed His seating posture with His
spine standing erect and leaning against the pillow.
After a while, the breathe seemed to flow with
difficulty. Then, He breathed His Last.
Sri Bhagawan remains as our Self. And, His powerful
Teachings are still guiding people from far and wide.
With the lapse of years, His Teachings seem to gain
greater Force.
May we all seek His unfailing Blessings on our path to
May we also gratefully recollect the Glory of Sri Siva
Prakasam Pillai who gave us this wonderful '5 Jewels in
Praise of Sri Bhagawan's Feet'
Yours in Sri Bhagawan RK Sankar
In recognition of this, the day of Ramana's Mahasamadhi,
R.K.Shankar sends the following to the I Am list. He
sent other readings as well.
from R.K. Shankar:
23 Aphroisms on the Wisdom Teachings of Sri Ramana from
the 3 Songs of 5 Jewels in praise of Him by Sri Siva
Prakasam Pillai
The 23 aphorisms on the Wisdom Teachings of Satguru Sri
Ramana, may be carefully placed in the subconscious with
full attention and reverence thrice in the morning, noon
and evening, on 23 Fridays of 23 successive weeks, so
that their true meanings will unfold themselves from
within us and impact and transform our consciousness:
1 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who utters
'See Who I am', with the Height (of the Self) having
welled up (into Him from within).
2 Long Live the Feet of the Calm One, who says, " If
becomes the Self, and deserts (the ego), the sorrow will
3 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana), who grants
the Wisdom that 'I am' is not the body which one loves.
4 Long Live the Feet of the One of (Supreme) Order (Sri
Ramana) who says, "You firmly abide (anchor yourself) in
the uttered path (of Self-Enquiry)".
5 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who 'abides
lying down', that only the inner (ego) and nothing else
is 'marked as the place' (for the Work of God).
6 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who utters,
"Which rises as 'I am (this body)' ? That(!) is the
7 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana), who 'casts
His glance' (to send the mind inward towards the Self)
saying "Its (the mind's) profit is Wisdom-Vision"
8 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who sings,
"Just be (still) without thinking of anything. And,
Every day (always) rest the mind in your abode (of the
9 Long Live the Feet of the Good One (Sri Ramana) who
utters, "The relationship attained to with the body will
fall away. Because of the enquiry 'Who am I ?' "
10 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who
assertively utters with Grace, "Do not slacken (in your
effort of Self-Enquiry), and let awareness of
Self-Enquiry slip away, until attaining to the Form of
the Self".
11 Long Live the Feet of the Lord (Sri Ramana) who
assertively utters, "Only bliss will well up and up
(from within), if you 'sink and merge', 'firmly abide in
and experience' the 'I' ('I-I', theSelf)".
12 Long Live the Feet of the Lord (Sri Ramana) who makes
the parted mind partless (by turning it away from the
body, and turning it inward).
13 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who
utters, "Investigate (enquire), and even that is a means
(for making the mind partless)".
14 Long Live the Feet of the Siddha (One who is
well-accomplished in Self-Abidance, Sri Ramana) who
abides (in Silence, saying) that all the world is the
body of Isvara.
15 Long Live the Feet of the Lord who says that the
desire becoming non-existent is Gnosis
16 Long Live the Feet of the One who utters 'If we rise
(up as a separate ego), others will rise (up as being
apart from us)"
17 Long Live the Feet of the Friend who says 'If we
subside (from the state of being a separate ego), others
will subside (from the state of being apart from us).'
18 Long Live the Feet of the One who 'bends low' saying
that 'the more the good will accrue (to one), the more
one bends low (and bends low)'
19 Long Live the Feet of the Friend who says, 'Stay away
from other work (work other than one's own) and abide'.
20 Long Live the Feet of the One who sings, "Act
'Everything is by God'."
21 Long Live the Feet of the Silent One who said,
'Reckon the world as a dream'.
22 Long Live the Feet of the SatGuru (Sri Ramana) who
says, 'Giving (away in charity) to others is (in
reality) giving (those things in charity) to oneself'.
23 Long Live the Feet of the One (Sri Ramana) who sings,
'Give (away) the wandering mind to the Lord'.
The posts forwarded by R.K. Sankar were sent originally to the I AM list. These are translations of the 3 Songs of 5 Jewels in praise of the Feet of Sri Ramana by Sri Siva Prakasam Pillai.
We are honoured that Sankar sends his translations to the I AM list. Very few are actually forwarded to NDS. These posts seemed very powerful for some reason.
Note that Sankar used to spell his name Shankar and that I used that spelling in previous posts today.

VIORICA W & JAN B from HarshaSatsangh
Excerpts from a dialogue on love
so coming back to the eternal love subject -
many say all is love , the essence of what is is love,
send loving touching blessings to the suffering ones.
There are many satsangs all over the world, many famous healers,
going here going there organizing retreats , talking about love
and Self-realization and kingdom of God and that we are all That.
It is a pleasure , a pleasure to listen, a pleasure to be in their
That is before the test of fire.
That is before the test of looking tremendously deep inside
their own selves - I mean those who advise mankind doing so.
A friend of mine, Ramana devotee also ,enjoys going to satsanghs
whenever somebody comes to Israel for this purpose.
Last week she said - Do you know how many famous world known
enlightened ones canceled their coming to Israel ?
It is written in the newspapers - X canceled , Y canceled ,
the enlightened Z canceled ...Hey , what are these people
afraid of ? Are they afraid of physical death ?
Are they taking sides ? In either case , they are not enlightened.
So you tell me fear is one obstacle for our own nature to reveal
itself. But you haven't solved your own fears, I would say.
So what are your books ? What are your satsanghs ?
What is your beautiful poetry ? Beautiful painted dry
words. You believe so , you want yourself to be what you think
you are , but same obstructions to the treasure inside
are still there for you too.
You made a name , money , you have fame in the world.
In the world ! It is the worldly . But you talk to me
about spirit , about not being my body, my thoughts,
my feelings, my emotions, you talk to me about spirit .
But you are afraid of physical death.
Or you put yourself on one side or another .
What did you prove then ?
You see ?
So love , until it has passed the test of fire is not love.
It is our desire to love , it is a trust in the power
of love , it is the wish in us to overcome evil,anger, hatred,
which is a tremendously enlightening wish.
And yet , beautiful words are not the proof that
the one who says them would turn the other cheek
to be hit , would offer the other arm to be cut ,
would take his neighbour's hunger on his stomach,
with love in his heart.
Those who can do it - I love them tremendously ,
to their feet I kneel.
As about me suffering in all this - I don't .
I see the world stage from a privileged position.
The world show unfolding once more exactly as
the truly enlightened beings pointed it to us.
I see that nothing has changed in the world of humans.
I see that every singled word uttered two thousand
years ago in this area is true and equally valid
today. And I thank God for putting me here.
With love for the egoless,
It is not a question if there is but the Self, or that Self = God = Love.
What matters is the process of interpretation, with the well known
outcomes, called labels/judgments like love/hate/beauty/ugliness
or adjectives like big/small.
Interpretation is a function of the mind and it can be silent
until having to spring into action. [....]
Knowledge by itself is without value: it's the application that matters.
From canine behavior it can be learned that the the stronger one has
the privilege to give in as a weaker one doesn't impose any danger.
This simple rule applies to human behavior as well: when the strong
ones don't give the proper example, the weak ones will revolt..
For a good reason, Ramana didn't talk much on the subject of 'liberation'
or 'moksha': not because of philosophical topics like "who is to be liberated?"
or "bondage and liberation are but the 2 sides of the same coin" but because
"there is but you and your perception": all perceived suffering comes from the
potential to feel pain. This isn't "transcended" easily and Self-realization
eventually (but not necessarily) 'opens up' the process of transcending...
Hello dear Jan,
there are situations in life that their absurdity and irreality
is so strong that the mind stops.
What follows cannot be interpretation of the mind.
What I was describing was one of these.
I think the same about the image of the twins
collapsing. Mind witnessing such an aberration
stops. I see no place to interpretation .
It cannot be interpreted. It is absurd, unreal.
Then one could ask oneself how real could be such a world?
That is what happened to me.
Yes , Jan , application indeed.
Love in real life battle fields.
That reminds me of the Bhagavad Gita.
What we are talking about - turned
in real life in any circumstances.
That is the real challenge.
Thank you for answering,
What the Bhagavad Gita doesn't mention is the experiential knowledge,
that sentient life is loved unconditionally. This fundamental facet is hidden
deeply... How else could life continue, even when the outlook on it is dark?
Reflect on that as to make it a 'live' presence and a different mode of action
will 'open up': Even if sentient life could be labeled "a bag of pain" yet is loved
dearly and unconditionally. Acting from this knowledge is what makes up
There have to be quite a number of quotes stating the mind
is the Self too: as there is nothing but the Self. Hence any
attempt to put the "undesirable" into an entity called "mind"
could be called "evasive action" for the sake of explanation
in the same sense that some will divide the mind into "higher" (intelligence)
and "lower"(instincts). Arguably, the number zero doesn't have to be mentioned
at the mention of a non-zero number. When ultimately, everything is Self/God/Love,
the same applies. As any functioning requires mind, it will be clear that
mind functions in sages too, irrespective the "explanation" they (are expected to) give.
The difference, the mind of a sage is "at Peace" irrespective functioning,
whether functioning or not..
JERRY KATZ from NondualitySalon
Sailor Bob Adamson is an Australian spiritual teacher who spent time
with Nisargadatta. He has a new book with excerpts at the following
His teaching, like Nisargadatta's, is to expose ground of being. Bob's
teaching is always showing that the nature of the mind is to divide,
that 'understanding is all' (to quote Nisargadatta), and that
understanding arises out of direct experience: the right here, right
now, full stop presence-awareness.
Interesting, while reading the book I kept expecting and even looking
for the personality of Bob to come through. I can't say I ever found it.
I was never touched by a personality. I think that's a rare quality,
that clean effort. A person can read this book and not feel the impress
of a 'guy', so to speak, even though this is a book of talks consisting
of questions and answers. This tells me there's no 'Bob' there.
If you want to immerse yourself in the words of such a person, order a
copy at the above website.
XAN from MillionPaths
Dear ___, Thank you for sharing this dialogue with us.
One point stands out for me, in your message, and I hope
you don't mind my adding my two cents worth.
You seem to believe that you must change yourself in order
to discover the simple truth of your being..... to have a more
powerful mind, to focus better, and I am sure that you have
other hidden qualifications in your mind.
It is our ideas about ourselves, our beliefs about what
realization is, our concepts, our ideals, the impossible
standards that we set for ourselves that are the very thing
blocking the simple awareness of Self that is present even
It is just much easier than all that. In fact, when it happens
for you I am sure that you will laugh very much at how
complicated you tried to make it, as I did. :-)
with love

Have been on Abatacept since January and although it took five months before it started working (and is my fourth biologic) it's now made me feel like a diffeent woman in terms of energy levels and feeling well. I inject myself every week on Tuesdays but have found I have a couple of really 'slow' days following the injection where my head is a bit woolly and I feel tired. By Friday usually feeling fiine again.
Has anyone else who injects experienced this? I've had no significant side effects - just a bit of a runny nose, again following the injection day, and the odd few minutes of feeling a bit nauseated but can put up with all that for the relief the drug has given me. Would like to hear anyone else's experience of Abatacept.

It's always incredibly hard to choose just a few features, but now that we are celebrating Easter, I thought it appropriate to take a last look at the offerings of this beautiful season.
Mical from Birds at the Top made her own polymer clay Robin eggs and I love how she transformed these inexpensive frames with nests and eggs.
Elizabeth used her painted eggs in a lovely nest wreath she made for her front door at The Porcelain Rose.

'Downton Abbey' Becomes Britain's Top-Selling DVD Box Set of All-Time on Amazon
Predictions are that sales of series two of the lavish Julian Fellowes-scripted drama could go even higher.
LONDON – Downton Abbey has become the fastest-selling TV drama DVD box set of all time on Amazon in the UK, beating a slew of TV greats including The Wire and The West Wing as well as British favorites Fawlty Towers.
The ITV1 drama made by NBCUniversal's London production arm proved a cult winner on its debut a year ago, averaging 10 million viewers in the first series, and is set to beat those expectations when series two beings on Sunday night (Sept. 18).
Amazon's London-based director of DVD and Music John Boumphrey said that the online retailer was already getting pre-orders for series two, which won't go on sale for another two months.
"Downtown Abbey has been phenomenally successful since hitting our screens last year," he told The Telegraph.
"Sales of the DVD box set after just one series have made the British drama more popular than all of the big-hitting American TV dramas as well as long-standing British TV favorites."
Amazon does not release specific sales figures as a matter of policy.
With its mix of storylines about the constricting lives of British upper classes and the below stairs trials and intrigues of their retinue of servants, the Julian Fellowes-conceived project has become the best known British period drama in recent times.
A stellar cast including Maggie Smith and Hugh Dancy will begin the new series on the eve of the First World War, exploring the shifting social and political standards triggered by the turbulent and tragic events.

Wine, it seems, is still getting more and more alcoholic, a trend to which climate change happily contributes. After all, there is not much that producers can do against rising temperatures. Or is there? Gérard Gauby, a Roussillon winemaker, seems to believe they can. A decade ago he switched to biodynamic winemaking and successfully developed methods to reduce the alcoholic strength of his wines.
I had a 2005 Gauby sitting in my wine rack for a while now, until Julian kicked me into action by commenting on Gauby's 2004: 'Aromatics of overripe plum and dried herbs, but fairly imprecise and unfocused, with sweet and oxidised port notes that didn't work for me. I think very highly of Gauby, but this one doesn't seem to age well. Or maybe a reminder that "natural" wines are at all times capricious, moody fellows?' After reading this it seemed high time to drink up my 2005, in case it had suffered a similar fate. Had it?
Two rosés from the languedoc, both predominantly Syrah, with some Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan, one from Paul Mas, via Jacques Weindepot, around 5 €, the other from Olivier Jullien, via K & U, around 12 €.
Up went the brown paper, professionally applied and stylishly decorated by my lovely assistant, who deserves very special mention. Those sharp of eye and quick of wit will quickly see which is which, but for 24 hours, I had no way of knowing. You can follow the links any time you get bored.
Tasted blind here.
Very dark pink.
Smells of raspberries, rose petals, a lot of red and black currants, and a green, fresh touch, as if the leaves and stems of all those fruit had been thrown in as well.
In the mouth, good concentration, very spicy currant fruit again, some wildness, good acidity and a bit of tannin. Fairly long.
Good, seriously made rosé, whith a bit of a rough edge that makes it a food wine much more than a porch sipping wine, but gives it some character. Mind you, rosés are generally not my kind of wine, so I'm not sure I can describe this with any authority. It does seem a bit pricy.
It has been a while since I had my last Gauby, quite a while, but I still remember the yummy cherry flavour of his 2005 red. So I thought the 2004 might be just the wine to have with a duck breast with balsamico glazed baby carrots.
The first thing you notice is the deep, dark, glorious red colour. It is followed by a nose of cherry (hurrah!) and berries with a woodland-pepper-spiciness that finds a good addition in a hint of wild animal smell. The pleasant sensation continues in the mouth where the fruitiness of well rounded cherry-berries is nicely balanced by spicy herbs and a hint chocolate, all of which are presented in a cool, smooth way. The tannins are already well integrated. [read the full post...]
Pretty cherry red colour.
Cherry stones (well, it smells of cherries, but also stony, so...), some black forest cherry schnaps (I hate that stuff).
Cherry stones again in the mouth, a little blunt and unfocused, but very spicy in a rustic manner, think the skins of cherries and plums, good fresh acidity and tannin.
It is what it is. Nothing to complain about, nothing to get crazy about. I'm still no closer to loving the southern rhone, although Robert Parker and others keep telling me to. I think I'll give up trying some day soon.
So here I sit, listening to Billy Bragg and Wilco, waiting for a Riesling to reach drinking temperature, and I am really pleased with this French red. The winery, Domaine les Filles de Septembre, was named after the four daughters of wine makers Françoise and Roland Géraud. And Delphine is one of the four. If she is anything like this cuvée of Syrah and Carignan, she must be lovely indeed. [read the full post...]

rbnbAdmin is a Java application which connects to a DataTurbine, displays a "tree view" of its current connections, and allows the user to perform certain administrative functions. The following figure illustrates a sample rbnbAdmin user interface window:
Each object in the tree view has a representative icon. These are shown and discussed in the section which follows.
In addition to displaying the connected hierarchy of objects,rbnbAdmin provides a variety of administrative control capabilities, which are described in following sections.
Setup and Startup
rbnbAdmin needs to be run under a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). rbnbAdmin has two optional command-line arguments which specify the server to connect to. The format of the command line looks like the following:
If you start without the "-n", "-a", and "-u" arguments, use the File->Open selection to initiate a connection.
Tree View Information
The main panel of the rbnbAdmin window shows a hierarchical tree-view of the DataTurbine. The root node of the tree view (the node at the top) is the DataTurbine to which rbnbAdmin is connected. Below that, other connections of various types are shown, as described below.
The root-level DataTurbine (i.e. the one to which you have connected) is shown as the top line of the tree-view display. The contents of this Server's registration map is added as a series of child nodes in the tree structure.
The name shown for a DataTurbine object is of the form "<name> <address>", where name identifies the DataTurbine and address describes how to connect to this DataTurbine.
Control Connection
Control connections exist for administrative functions. You should always be able to see the control connection created by rbnbAdmin itself. Control connections associated with source and sink connections are not explicitly shown. In RBNB object parlance, a control connection corresponds to an RCO (Ring buffer Control Object).
The name shown for a control connection is the name provided by the control application to the DataTurbine. ForrbnbAdmin, this name is hardwired to "Admin". If this name is not unique in the DataTurbine, an underscore and unique identifier number will be appended to the name (for example, "Admin_3").
Data Sink
A data sink connection exists for each connected application open for "reading". Data flows from the DataTurbine to data sink applications. In RBNB parlance, a sink connection corresponds to an NBO (Network Bus Object). The contents of this Sink's registration map are added as children to this Sink's node in the tree structure.
The name shown for a sink connection is the name provided by the sink application to the DataTurbine.If this name is not unique in the DataTurbine, an underscore and unique identifier number will be appended to the name.
Data Source
A data source connection exists for each application which is "writing" data to the DataTurbine. Data flows from a source application to the DataTurbine. In RBNB parlance, a source connection corresponds to an RBO (Ring Buffer Object). The contents of this Source's registration map are added as children to this Source's node in the tree structure.
It is also possible to have an data source (RBO) object for a data source which has disconnected (leaving data in the RBO), or for an archive which was loaded.
The name shown for a source connection is the name provided by the source application to the DataTurbine. If this name is not unique in the DataTurbine, an underscore and unique identifier number will be appended to the name.
A data Mirror (To) object is associated with a data mirror which streams data from a Source in the local DataTurbine to a new RBO in either the local or a remote DataTurbine. It may have been established by a connected application, or by rbnbAdmin itself.
A data Mirror (From) object is associated with a data mirror which streams data from a Source located in either the local or a remote DataTurbine to an RBO in the local DataTurbine. It may have been established by an application or by rbnbAdmin itself.
Menu Bar
rbnbAdmin has the following pull-down menus.
The File pull-down menu provides the following selections.
|Open a connection between rbnbAdmin and a DataTurbine. Provide the host (name or IP address) and port number of the DataTurbine to which you would like to connect as well as your username and password. An example of the connection dialog is shown below.
|Close the current connection between rbnbAdmin and the DataTurbine.
|Exit the rbnbAdmin program.
The Refresh (F5) selection causes rbnbAdmin to obtain and display an updated registration map from the DataTurbine. The Hidden check box will hide administrative objects (those starting with underscore "_").
Pop-Up Menus
Several objects in the tree view provide a pop-up menu accessed by right-clicking the mouse over the object. The following selections are available:
|Applicable Objects
|Mirror from…
|DataTurbine (top level)
|Available from the top level DataTurbine's Pop-Up menu (the DataTurbine to which the user is connected). This menu item establishes a "Pull" mirror, which requests a Source in the local or a remote DataTurbine to mirror itself to a new RBO in the local DataTurbine.
|Mirror to…
|Mirrors data from the selected local Source to a new RBO in either the local or a remote DataTurbine. This establishes a "Push" mirror.
(top level)
Mirror (From)
Mirror (To)
Source (local)
|Close associated object.
Mirror Dialog
Mirrors cause data from a designated source (RBO) to be automatically sent to a different RBO in either the local or a remote DataTurbine. Thus, a copy of the selected source data is available at both the original source and the destination RBO. Mirrors differ from routing in that data is automatically sent without waiting for a sink request. The mirror is established in one of two ways:
- "Pull" mirror: A request is made to one or more Sources (located in either the local or a remote DataTurbine) to establish a mirror with the local DataTurbine. In rbnbAdmin this can be done by selecting the "Mirror from…" Pop-Up menu item on the top level DataTurbine. Selecting this menu item pops up a dialog in which the user can enter multiple Sources from which to mirror data (see dialog below).
- "Push" mirror: A mirror is established between a local Source and a new RBO located in either the local or a remote DataTurbine. In rbnbAdmin this can be done by selecting "Mirror to…" on a local Source's Pop-Up menu.
A sample "Mirror Data" dialog is shown below. This dialog was obtained by selecting the "Mirror from…" Pop-Up menu item on the top level DataTurbine (which allows the entry of multiple "From" Sources).
A description of the dialog items follows:
- "To" description:
This defines the new RBO that will receive the mirrored data. Specify the "Name" and "Address" required to connect to the DataTurbine and the "Data Path" of the new RBO. For a "Pull" mirror, the "Name" and "Address" text fields are filled in and desensitized (non-editable) since the target DataTurbine in this case is always the local DataTurbine.
- "From" description:
This defines the Source(s) from which data will be mirrored. Specify the "Name" and "Address" required to connect to the DataTurbine and the "Data Path" to the existing Source. When establishing a "Push" mirror from a local Source the "Name", "Address" and "Data Path" text fields are filled in and desensitized (non-editable) since these fields are specified by the user's selection. Selecting the "Mirror from…" Pop-Up menu item on the top level DataTurbine yields the dialog shown above, which allows the entry of multiple "From" Sources. In this case, each Source is specified by its "Name", "Address" and "Data Path" text fields. Source "Name", "Address" and "Data Path" fields are added and removed using the provided Add and Remove buttons. If there are multiple "From" Sources then multiple mirrors will be created with Data Paths of the form <specified "To" Data Path>.<index> (for example, for the dialog shown above, the Data Paths of the mirrors created will be "newSource.1", "newSource.2", "newSource.3", etc.).
- "Start" time:
Specify the earliest data to mirror. Choices are:
- Now: start mirroring data from this point in time,
- Oldest: mirror starting from the oldest available data.
- "Stop" time:
Specify when to stop mirroring data. Choices are:
- Now: stop mirroring data at this point in time (this option is not currently available),
- Continuous: continuously mirror data (no designated stop time).
- "Buffer Size":
Specify the number of Cache Frames, Archive Frames, and Archive Mode in the new source. Automatically match the "From" Source's cache size, archive size, and archive mode by selecting the "Match Source" checkbox.
Note: If the "To" server matches the "From" server (i.e. their address and name matches), the new RBO is created on the same DataTurbine as the existing Source. In this case, the "To" data path must not be the same as the "From" data path (that is, a DataTurbine cannot have two identically named RBOs).
RBNB Servers can be routed in one of two ways:
- Parent/Child Routing
- Routing Shortcuts
The former is a hierarchical routing in which RBNB servers are connected via a strict topology. The fully qualified name of any server is its full-path, as in:
The parent of a server is specified at the time an RBNB server is launched (via a rbnbServerstartup flag). Shortcuts can be started at run time via rbnbAdmin, using the pop-up Start shortcut… option by right clicking the connected RBNB server icon (i.e.the server to which rbnbAdmin has an open connection). The following figure shows the shortcut pop up configuration menu.
Sources and channels on a routed shortcut are addressed via the Shortcut Name.For example:
The Cost associated with a shortcut is used to select the best path to fetch data when there is more than one way available (e.g. when there are parent/child routes and shortcut routes both available to the target server).
To see the sources and channels in a routed RBNB server, you may need to click the Refresh option from the right-click popup menu on that server.

People save an Australian tourist. They find him in the Malaysian jungle. They find him after two weeks. They take the man in a helicopter. The helicopter takes him to hospital.
The man was lost in a national park in Borneo Island. He was lost on the twentieth of October. The man is about 25 years old.
People find him in a valley. The valley is about five kilometres from base camp.
The man did not eat much food. He ate only plants. He is hungry but his body is OK. He only has some small problems with his feet.
Difficult words: valley (a place where the land goes down between two mountains), base camp (a camp from which you start your journey), ate (past form of "eat").

LEARN 3000 WORDS with NEWS IN LEVELS
If you read and listen to two articles every day, your reading and listening skills can improve fast. You can learn quickly and after some time you will not have to translate into your own language. You will simply understand. Why should you do this?
When you listen to people in your native language, you do not translate. You simply understand. The same has to be in English. When you learn English, you have to learn the whole sentences in context.
Students, who translate English texts, do exercises and do tests are very good at translating, doing exercises and doing tests, but they have problems with understanding English in real life. In real life, nobody waits for your translation. People usually use simple English when they speak but they use it fast. You have to understand with no translation to your native language. If you translate, you cannot be part of communication because you are thinking about the language too much. These words are maybe hard to read but they are true.
You also have to hear every new word 5 to 10 times if you want to remember it. That's why we use the same words in one level. If you read and hear the same words again and again, you will understand them and remember them. If you know words from one level, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go step by step, and read and listen to words which are used in English often. This is what we do with our news. In our short news, we use words which are used in English often. Level 1 has the 1000 most important words. Level 2 has the 2000 most important words, Level 3 has the 3000 most important words.
So, if you want to understand English fast and learn fast, read two articles or more a day. You can improve your reading and listening quickly when you read easy English news. We will help you learn English fast and understand it. When you use this website every day, you can learn 3000 words which you need for communication with anybody in English.

I'm not gunna lie, I've seen Hostel, the horror movie about- you guessed it- college kids at a hostel, who get kidnapped and brutally murdered. It was honestly the only thing running through my mind as we made the short walk from lunch to the hostel door. It faced the river, on the back of an industrial building surrounded by other similar buildings. With the sun on our shoulders and the crisp wind blowing our hair, we pulled open the double doors and walked through with our purses held tight to our sides and our heads held high.
It was completely different than we expected.
There were people everywhere, of every race and language. It was bright and wide open, clean and inviting. There was a piano, a fuseball table, a TV, couches, even a beer fridge. That was definitely the selling point for us.
Just kidding.
The check-in process took forever, but man was it entertaining. You see, Rachelle and I have this thing where we get real sarcastic and witty, and we play off of each other like we're being paid to be funny. Maybe I'm giving us a little too much credit, but the check-in guy just did not know what to do with us. I mean, we had to sign a contract that said we wouldn't bring any ferrets into the room. Really? What did he expect? After laughing so hard our cheeks hurt, and being told that we were "really cool" we made our way out to the car to grab our very heavy bags and go back to our room.
The rest of the building was just as surprising as the foyer. The walls were plain cement, the halls cold and drafty. But the elevator was made of glass and therefore completely open. The fourth floor where our room was located was simply decorated, each room named after a famous country star. And wouldn't you know it, our room was Alabama. The soundtrack to our entire trip thus far. It felt like we were right where we were meant to be. And though the hostel was definitely our last resort, due to the fact that we couldn't afford/find any other hotels, we were slowly beginning to realize that it would be our best memory of the whole trip.
Our plans for that Thursday evening involved going to an album release party for Ashley Monroe, and just in case you don't know who she is, she's part of the band Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert. Yeah, we were excited. Of course, the night was cold, so we dressed in our long sleeve shirts bought specifically for the trip, and coats that, despite having been worn almost every day, still felt like too much clothing, and walked out of the room to come face to face with our "neighbors" across the hall. We exchanged names, talked a bit about where we were from and where we were going, and went on our way.
Although the bar was far, and it was cold, we decided to walk. Bad idea. It wasn't too bad on the way there, with the sun just dipping below the buildings. But on the way back? It was freezing. So cold that our jaws hurt from clenching and our backs ached from tensing. So cold that we practically ran two miles back to Broadway street, which is probably more than any of us have ran at one time. We ducked into the first bar we came across and ordered our drinks extra strong just to get us warm. In no time, we were back to feeling our fingers and toes. And the music.
The bar hopping commenced and in the process we ran into Utah and a couple of other people we had met the previous night. Oh, and the guy who checked us in and thought we were really cool? Yeah, we saw him too. So after a round (or two) of shots at the very last stop at 3 in the morning, we decided to call it a night. Check-in guy (names will not be disclosed) walked with us back to the hostel, since that was where he lived, and to our surprise, the lounge was bumping with people. After dumping our purses (and apparently a bag of goldfish) in our room, we joined the fuseball-playing, karaoke-singing, PBR-drinking crowd in the lounge.
Before we knew it, it was five o'clock in the morning, and Rachelle was demanding food, and because she's a chef and was hungry, she decided to cook spaghetti. At five o'clock in the morning. With a guy we named Washington who walked around without shoes, even though it was at least 25 degrees outside. It was probably the best spaghetti I have ever had. Maybe because it was five o'clock in the morning.
With full bellies, we stumbled up to our room in the wee hours of the morning, crunching on goldfish and running into one of our very sleepy neighbors who was very confused as to why we were walking around so early in the morning. He only became more confused when he found out we were just going to sleep.
And then came Friday morning. We rolled out of bed sometime around 11, completely regretting the lack of sleep and the last shots of the night. We trudged downstairs and found our neighbors occupying the couches in the lounge, where we sat and chatted before deciding that our stomachs might eat themselves if we didn't feed them. But since I had woken with the *coughcough* flu *coughcough* I couldn't make it to the lunch escapade, and instead hung out with our Michigan friends. After Rachelle and Arielle returned, we walked around in the light of day, stopping to by milkshakes (those crazy Michigan guys and their cold drinks on that very cold day) and talking and joking about anything and everything. The evening arrived and we split ways, the guys to their hockey game and us to dinner. Afterwards, we met up downtown and followed them (and our Australian friends) to a dueling piano bar.
We weren't sure what to expect, having spent all of our time in Nashville in honkey tonk bars (like you're supposed to) but we were pleasantly surprised. Those guys were seriously awesome, playing any song thrown their way, not only on the piano, but on the drums, the guitar, and singing. Talk about talented, but who isn't in Nash Vegas? After going to a few more bars, we made our way back to the hostel where we disturbed the peace until four in the morning. Check-in guy had to tell us to keep it down (who was he to talk, anyways?), Arielle lost our room key, which landed us locked out of our room until the next morning, and in some very uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
On Saturday, we woke up with heavy eyes from lack of sleep and heavy hearts with the knowledge that we would be leaving Nashville in just a few hours time. We packed up our stuff in record time (we were used to it by then) and helped the messy Michigan boys pack theirs, and took off for breakfast. The Last Supper. A damn good meal, too. And even though we had only known them for two short days, the Michigan boys had become our friends. And even though Nashville had only been our home for a mere week, the farther away from it we got, the more misplaced we felt. The drive home was long but beautiful, serving only to remind us of the beauty we miss out on. Mountains and cliffs and waterfalls and miles and miles and miles of blue-tinged trees.
|This is what happens after seven hours in a car.
We stopped in South Georgia for the night only to wake up and continue our drive home. Crossing the state line was like crossing into a different world. We went from barren and brown to alive and green. We began to see Florida in a different light. Is this what people see when they come here for the first time? we thought. Everything was just so green. Even the sky seemed bluer, the clouds crisper. When we stepped out of the car at Rachelle's house, we could literally smell the ocean in the air. And it smelled good. It smelled like home. It was hard to believe we were back, and even harder to believe it had only been ten days since we left. It felt like weeks had passed, and I was ready to go home.
Nashville left a mark on our hearts, put a dent in our souls. It opened our eyes, made us see how much bigger the world was. Even though at first it seemed like it was leaps and bounds better than crabby ol' West Palm Beach, I think it also made us realize just what we have. It made us realize that home is only as good as the people in it, and the people in our home are real good.
With all that said, CHEERS to Nash Vegas road trip 2014! Who's in?

Meet the pecs: boom and bang
April 30, 2009
Rick is back from his booze cruise and ready to go. This week, he and Mike discuss Fordham's new AP report, taxpayers versus parents making education decisions, and Obama's first 100 days in office. Then Amber explains the long-term trends on the NAEP and Rate that Reform exposes itself (for a good cause!).


text:
the Cronus Club … like the Illuminati without the glamour, or the Masons without the cufflinks, a self-perpetuating society spread across the ages for the infinite and the timeless.[loc. 619]
Harry August is born on New Year's Day 1919, at a railway station. He grows to adulthood, enlists in WW2, contracts bone cancer, dies.
And … repeat.
Unlike Ursula in Life after Life, Harry remembers his previous lives: and unlike Life after Life, he is not alone. About one in every half-million children is born a kalachakra, an 'ouroboran', with the gift (or curse) of living the same span of life over and over, and the ability to remember previous lives. (The term 'kalachakra' comes from Buddhism, and refers to the wheel of time.)
The possibilities are immense, and North explores a good many of them: the increasing pace of technological advance as ambitious kalachakra use knowledge from earlier lives to shape their world; the ennui of the effectively immortal; the temptation to kill Hitler, or bomb New York ("you can do whatever you like so long as you don't bugger it up for the next lot. So no nuking New York, please, or shooting Roosevelt, even if for experimental purposes. We just can't handle the hassle."[loc. 1143]). Each kalachakran's point of origin – birthday – is fixed, but their lifespan overlaps with those of others. They devise a method of communicating up and down the time-stream: to talk to earlier generations, a child in, say, 1925 speaks to a dying man, then that man is reborn in 1850 and repeats the question to a different dying man … In this way a body of knowledge (and the single inviolate rule of 'not buggering it up for the next lot') is built up.
Turns out that someone down the line is buggering things up very thoroughly: the end of the world is nigh, and nigher with each life. Somebody is subtly altering the world in tiny increments: small technological advances with immense consequences. Kalachandrans are dying, or rather never being born. (Some are simply forced to forget previous lives, so may as well not be reborn for all the good it does them.) Victor Rankis, who is Harry's closest friend (in some lives, at least), may hold the key to the mystery. He is certainly the most important person in many of Harry's lives.
I liked The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August a great deal: the complexity of the world-building, the credibility of the alternate histories that come and go as the cycle repeats, the depth and emotion of Harry's various relationships, the grandiose plots of the characters, the wry asides and observations. ("I wondered if Senator McCarthy would do so well in this new world, now the vivid flushes of his skin could be seen in such glorious technicolour. Black and white, I concluded, lent a certain dignity to proceedings that the proceedings themselves probably lacked."[loc. 4317]). I especially liked that – despite what Amazon's categorisation engine (which puts this as #1 in 'Romance > Time Travel') might think – this is not a romance in any traditional sense. There are romantic elements, but they are not the focus of the story.
Claire North also writes as Kate Griffin, author of the Matthew Swift novels. [source] I've bounced off the first Matthew Swift novel before, but am now tempted to give it another go.
"the past is the past. You are alive today. That is all that matters. You must remember, because it is who you are, but as it is who you are, you must never, ever regret. To regret your past is to regret your soul."[loc. 2447]

The contextual interpretation of Scripture is relevant for ministry, missions, ethics, and theology. The present discussion particularly has in mind the use of Scripture in Christian ethics by orthodox and Evangelical Christians--those who desire to submit to Biblical authority but have to ask whether a text is transculturally normative or culturally relative.
Thirteen Criteria for Determining Transcultural Norms
Versus Culturally Relative Teaching in Scripture
The following criteria are suggested for consideration when trying to decide if a Biblical text is transculturally normative (speaks authoritatively to all cultures and people at all times) or culturally relative (speaks to a particular culture, people, and time). This issue arises because the Church accepts Scripture as the supreme authority for faith and practice—it has not been and is not taken by orthodox Christians as an important document for a community because of its antiquity. It is authoritative because it is 'God-breathed': 'All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness' (2 Timothy 3.16). While stated as criteria, they really indicate the kinds of discussion we have about Biblical texts and their continuing relevance.
1. Criterion of Exegesis. A clear understanding of what the text was saying to the original audience may well indicate whether it is culturally relative or transculturally normative. Ask questions such as: Who is saying What to Whom? Why? When? Where? How?
2. Criterion of Contextual Dissimilarity and Traditional Consistency. A Biblical norm that is dissimilar to its cultural context and consistent with its own tradition will more likely be transcultural than a norm that complies with the culture of the day.
3. Criterion of Available Alternatives. Where no choice really exists for actions or perspectives in a culture or context, the point may be situational and not transcultural.
4. Criterion of Repeatability. If something can be or was repeated in the same way under different circumstances, its authority may well be transcultural.
5. Criterion of Multiple Attestation ('Cloud of Witnesses'). The case for transcultural normativity is stronger the more we can demonstrate that there are multiple witnesses or proofs (different authors, different time periods, different types of literature [see next criterion]).
6. Criterion of Different Genre: The authority of a text is related to the genre, type of literature (e.g., narrative, laws, poetry, proverbs, history, prophecy, visions, apocalypses, letters, parables, etc.). A point made in different genre may also be transculturally normative, and some genre are more likely transcultural than others (e.g., a narrative may simply describe a situation, whereas a law is meant to fit different contexts).
7. Criterion of Uses of Scripture: There are different levels of appeal to Scripture. The more levels of appeal that are evident in Scripture, the more likely the matter should be taken as transculturally normative. (I would suggest four levels: specifying genre/use (norms, rules), warranting (virtues, values, principles), witnessing (stories, examples, characters), and worldview (basic understanding of the God, humanity, and the world).)
8. Criterion of Theological and Ethical Coherence. An argument is more likely transcultural if it coheres with other theological and ethical ideas and practices and can be shown to cohere with both theology and ethics.
9. Criterion of Rhetorical Exigence or Contingency. A response to a specific situation might be a culturally relative or situational response.
10. Criterion of the Author's Emphasis. The more the point is emphasised by argument, authority, and emotion, the more likely the conviction is crucial and therefore transcultural.
11. Criterion of Church History. The Bible is foundational for the Church and the supreme authority for Christian faith and practice. The history of the Church's interpretation of Scripture should be studied to see how the Church has understood the text in different ages and cultures as a way to check present understandings and to hear the Biblical text clearly.
12. Criterion of Meaning, Implications, Significance, and Applications. The greater the interpreter can establish a relationship between the meaning of Scriptural texts, their theological and ethical implications, and the significance they bear on a given situation, the greater one can argue that the application has transculturally normative authority.
13. Criterion of Central and Peripheral. What is arguably central in Scripture is likely transculturally authoritative. What we think might be peripheral may or may not be.

I really wanted to find some lanterns for the back deck so I decided to hit up HomeSense on the way home. My criteria was simple:
1. Had to be black
2. Medium sized so that they were substantial enough to put off a fair bit of light but not too big that they would be too overwhelming on the table if people were talking over one another.
3. There had to be at least 2 matching ones.
A lot harder than you think to get all three check marks! While they had a ton of lanterns, most of them were GINORMOUS, colorful (greys, whites, blues) and of course only one of each that I liked.
But I lucked out on the last shelf I looked and found these beauties:
(excuse the crummy shots, there's a thunder storm outside so bleak and dreary outside and in!)
Simple in styling, they are actually FLAMELESS lanterns, which I wasn't looking for, but I actually kinda like!
At $14.99 each, I couldn't pass them up!!
The candles actually flicker like a real candle and I don't have to worry about forgetting them lit, and burning down the house!
Since it's disgusting outside and is suppossed to be tomorrow as well, I couldn't wait to show them off, so I decided they'd look pretty great on our dining table.
The whole look here is a lot more formal than I typicallygo for, but I really like it.
The tray is a gorgeous Princess House oil rubbed bronze scrolly tray with floral etched glass and the pretty little Cyclamen plant was a gift from my mom who was here on Thursday.
Works well with the reds and oranges with the painting behind it!
For a spot that I don't really love (table and chairs need updating and I've been waiting for someone to switch out that light fixture for 2 years now....) I actually am pretty happy with this little arrangement today.

Maybe there's little point in reviewing Pewter, because what can I say that others haven't?
WOW. I am so glad that I bought into the hype. In the month that I've owned it, Pewter has shot straight up to the top of my list of favorite shadows.
I almost wish I had bought a back-up, and I am *not* a back-up person.
The color is the most special part of Pewter. Other attributes, like texture, lasting time, wear, packaging - are all good, but the color is what makes tracking down this eyeshadow worth it.
At first glance, I would call Pewter a silver, or for a two-word description "dirty silver". I have no idea where all the talk of bronze comes from ... though there may be bronze tones in there somewhere, it's just not bronze-colored. So silver, but warmed from its coolness into neutral territory - it's warm and it's cool. It's silver, but there's gold in there, too. There's a tiny touch of brown (or bronze?), and a good measure of a muted, light sage green.
The result? It looks great on its own, but more importantly, it goes with EVERYTHING. I have yet to try a combo that doesn't work, and it's not for lack of dedication.
Pewter looks great along with neutrals, adding a sheen, and bringing everything together - browns, beige, whatever, it does a great job of just adding another dimension to a neutral look.
It's great with other metallic colors. Silver and bronze are no-brainers, but has anyone worn it with gold? My New Year's Eve makeup (which I loved) was Pewter matched with a bold gold liner (Urban Decay's Eldorado) along the top lashes, tight-lined with black.
Pewter is gorgeous with colors. I've been having fun trying it with all of my Urban Decay liners, and it looks great! Obviously it's great blended with other shadows, too. One liner that's breathtakingly gorgeous with Pewter is Bobbi Brown's Gel Eyeliner in Forest Shimmer Ink, a dark olive green with gold shimmer, along the lines of Urban Decay's Stash liner, Sue Devitt's Bangalore Eye Intensifier, or MAC's Vintage Gold pigment.

This is such a beautiful color. Quietly dramatic is the best way to describe it - and the blend of colors will work with any complexion. I would not wear this into the office but it's lovely for a special event. However, on me it made my very slightly dry eyelids (only happens in cold weather) look very crepy. This is not something I usually ever notice and I think it's due to the higher level of shimmer in this particular shadow. I can't wear this, but I wish I could. Maybe with a primer this would work for an evening look once in a while. I hate to say I would not repurchase this, as it seems unfair to the product, but I'd have to fuss with this to make it work (and I never have to fuss with Bobbi Brown shadows - they are the best).

The Chrome shadow in Pewter is perhaps one of the best products Bobbi Brown has come out with so far. Pewter is a lovely taupe color with hints of gold, silver, and a sage green. It is unlike any shadow I have ever seen before. I thought it might be similar to BB's Sage metallic shadow which I already have, but they are very, very different. Sage is far more green and cool, while Pewter is warmer and not overtly green. The green in Pewter is subtle. One of the best things about Pewter is its texture and finish. The texture is soft and smooth. It applies evenly with excellent pigmentation. It blends beautifully. Fallout is never a problem.
Pewter looks wonderful paired with my hazel green eyes, super fair skin, and dark hair. I can wear it all alone for a simple day look or pair with some dark liner for a more dramatic look. Pewter is a versatile shade that is neutral but far from boring. At $22, Pewter is more expensive than BB's other powder shadow offerings. You get special packaging, a beautiful color, and an unparalled texture to make this a worthwhile investment however. Pewter is LE, so I strongly suggest that those interested in buying it do so quickly.

Fab color! I find silver is a very difficult shade for me to wear, but because this isn't a true silver shade (obviously - it's pewter!) it looks AMAZING on my caramel complexion. I just bought this yesterday and so I have only worn it once, but I know I am going to get tons of use out of it. You can wear it with just black liner and mascara, or use it additionally with just about any other shade(s). The wear on it wasn't perfect, I found after 5 hours it had faded, but I think if you either a) use UDPP or b) applied it wet it would be perfect. BTW applying it wet makes it very metallic so better for evening, but so gorgeous! It's $26CDN but it is such a huge shadow so I think it was a fair value. And the packaging is hot :) If I ever needed to buy it again, I would!

This "chrome" eyeshadow is called "pewter," which is really a misnomer. There is a lot of cool gold, taupe, and on my skin, a luminous sage/olive green undertone. I was quite stunned when I saw the shadow in person. It's equivalent to the range and complexity of shades and hues in the BB metallic longwear cream shadow in Goldstone but in a silky powder form.
I tried it first just in the crease but that limiting approach looked just plain boring. I have a rather large area from the crease to the brow bone so I swiped one brushstroke over each area. Gorgeous! And I'm talking daytime wear. I applied BB Black Plum shimmerwash to the lids, UD 24/7 liner in bourbon to top and bottom lashlines, blended some of the MUFE Aqua Eyes in Shimmering Plum (4L), smudged, blended some more, added mascara. What a classy, elegant, modern look for a gal of my age. I have to hand it to Bobbi Brown for coming up with ways to update one's look without having to overhaul it. She is the best for chic neutrals, even better than Dior, and cheaper.
I know that some gals complain about the price of her e/s but they last forever. I've hit pan once in Navajo in the Stonewashed Nudes palette purchased not quite 2 years ago. The quality of this shadow is superb; just a small amount gives maximum effect, and the finish is a combination of a subtle luminance with a soft-focus color on the lids. It is very different from her shimmerwashes. I can see myself using this eyeshadow year round; it's versatile, practical, and complements my blue eyes well. The eye color doesn't pop; it just becomes a bit more intense.
I put that I'd re-purchase because it is a winner but I doubt I'll run out of this product and since it's LE, we'll have to see how Bobbi deals with the success of this chrome line.

This is the only Bobbi Brown product I have ever bought and I am very, very pleased with it. I bought this because of the swatches and the hype about this color and I was not disappointed, even for the price.
Having never bought Bobbi Brown before, I liked the way the shadow pops right out and could go into a custom palette. I currently do not palettize anything, but it's nice to know that it's an easy option in the future. So while this cost $22, which I think is an awful lot for an eyeshadow, the packaging is as convenient as could be and the pan size is huge - you definitely get a lot of eyeshadow.
Regarding Pewter specifically -- this color immediately reminded me of MAC's Smoke and Diamonds, both in terms of being a really complex sort of taupe, and because of all of the attention it's getting. Looking at the two shades together, Pewter is lighter, more complex, and more festive. I have been enjoying wearing Pewter with Smoke and Diamonds in the crease, and lined with Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Stash. It's "like neutral but better" for the holidays.

I'll join the love for Pewter here. This is an awesome shadow. It's reading silver on my monitor but, as described on the BB website, it is a cool bronze. It is nicely pigmented and with a creamy texture. This looks great with brown and black liners. I have even tried it with MAC's Black Greasestick as a base and it looked so rich. The Chrome shadows have 3g of product where the standard BB shadows have only 2.5g. You won't be sorry with this very versatile color.

The most perfect metallic colour ever!!!! Pewter is not a cool icy silver nor a warm yellow gold..... it sits right in the middle as is the most versatile neutral metallic eyeshadow that works with any look.
Layer over a shadow primer, it covers as a velvety metallic and is not sparkly or shimmery at all. Great colour payoff too! I have used it over all my lid and then I blend it with a crease/outer V in brown, blues, or green so far and it looks gorgeous. Totally wearable to the office too since it isn't sparkly. It's the most perfect colour to compliment a snugly grey sweater.

The transitional living programs at Freedom House provide a supportive environment to clients who have completed long-term treatment.
Typically, transitional living programs assist those who have left highly structured institutions, helping them adjust to and re-enter society. Typically, these men are in need of support from peers in recovery, are financially distressed, or would otherwise be forced to live in an environment that is not conductive to sobriety. The structure of the transitional home is designed to further stabilize clients in the early stages of recovery. Residents function as a family, sharing responsibilities and being accountable to each other, and to the program.
Our transitional living program, also known as Phase III for clients completing the halfway house program, also serves to increase the probability that clients will follow up with and complete their outpatient aftercare. In addition, this supportive environment provides clients the opportunity to successfully develop and practice new skills, and cultivate the Faith, Hope, and Trust needed to sustain his newfound Freedom.

Happy Frog Jump Start with Mycorrhizae & Humic Acid, 3-4-3 Fertilizer
Enriching the soil first is the foundation of organic gardening. Happy Frog works in harmony with nature to gently provide nutrition over time as well as it encourages millions of beneficial soil microbes to flourish. These micro-organisms help convert the organic fertilizers into food that is immediately available to plants. Shrubs and flowers will have robust vitality, enhanced color, and become more disease resistant. Happy Frog enhances fruit and vegetable production creating higher yields, sweeter flavor and brings more nutrition to your table.
Garden Tip: Ideal for transplanting seedlings and repotting established container plantings. This gentla formula is high in phosphorus which encourages healthy root development. It also contains calcium which buffers acidic soils and boosts the plant's ability to fight off disease. For successful transplanting of young plants, hold gently to avoid crushing stems and damaging delicate roots. Once transplanted, make sure to keep the soil moist. Foliar feeding can be beneficial to seedlings to give them a jump start in becoming vigorous plants.
