It was in Physics class that I learned to pick locks. Dick Feynman's memoirs detailed it in theory. He also gave quite a bit of information on cracking safes. This, in addition to Feynman's assertion that he solved hard problems because he had a different mathematical 'tool-box' gave me my first inkling of the power of asking the wrong people.
When I was a freshman there was a big push in my class to eliminate the phrase 'tidal wave' because – darn it – tides are not involved. That is a persuasive argument if you don't have a good dictionary. Then you find that 'tidal' is a word in the Old Testament meaning 'fearsome.' And fearsome in an Old Testament way is an apt description of a tsunami. Besides, tidal is easier to say.
I learned that, as an act of simplicity, Einstein insisted on using the same soap for shaving as he used for washing. Since Einstein grew up in a time and place where shaving was an art, I looked into it. Water is the key. Hydrating hair takes it from something with the strength of copper wire to something softer. Heat helps as does soap which acts as a surfactant to reduce the surface tension and allow the water to soak in more easily. Making a lather allows the water to stay on the face. So cold shaving cream is both less effective than making a hot soap lather and much more expensive. And less pleasant. If you use a mug and a brush the results are surprising. Some shaving creams are so bad that I was actually asked, 'Does shaving cream do anything but help you keep place?' Not what I expected to learn from Albert Einstein.
One thing everyone gets wrong is the Fourth Commandment. It does not mean that you are not to say gal dang it, Dagnabit! Nor does it suggest the linguistic atrocity of writing god as G-d. The Bible means that God has a personal name, and that it may only be used at certain times by certain people. A name related to the ancient Semitic word for 'to be.' As the Hebrews did not write out their vowels the Tetragrammaton – Greek for Important Four-Letter Thingie – is written out as IHVH, YHWH, IHWH, or some similar form. Alphabets have changed a bit in the last four millennia. The Greeks went from Linear-B to illiterate to developing the Greek Alphabet to inspiring the Latin Alphabet to inventing letters that the Romans never heard of, such as y,j,w.
If you put the vowels for elohim -god – and mispronounce the initial letter as a 'J' you get 'Jehovah'. Positively not the name of God and invented to not be the name of God. If you do the same for 'lord', 'adaonai', you get something like 'Yahweh.' At least the initial letter is correct. So Indian Jones failed the test of the name in 'Last Crusade' and fell to his death. That probably explains 'Crystal Skull.'
Such a great taboo has formed about this noun that legends have formed. Religious folk will tell you that the pronunciation is lost. This is a palpable lie. More on that later. The Golem of legend was animated when the wise man inscribed the tetragrammaton properly upon it. In most English language Bibles the four-letter thingie is written as Lord in all capitals – 'LORD' – to avoid the issue. The hereditary Cohen priests do an odd gesture of the hands when making the Priestly Blessing. In the Aramaic alphabet the hands can assume a sort of schematic representation of the name.
A bright, young Jewish fellow once decided that the higher feelings and wishes of a character he played demanded a sort of salute. Using the right hand of the Cohen gesture, Mr. Nimoy invented the Vulcan Salute. There is a fraternal organization which believes that one of their most important words is lost. But they decide the first letter is something like a G for god, and so their logo has a letter for a word they do not know. If this is not a metaphor for the loss of the tetragrammaton, paint me blue and call me Cuthbert.
The problem with the tragedy of The Lost Name is that it is a lie. Once again the power of asking the wrong people shows itself. Jews and Christians have this taboo, but all the neighboring nations wrote it down. Linguists know quite well what the words are.
The Nomads of Yahweh. Note that the syllabary does not indicate 'Yahweh.'
The myth of lost name is a lie. More evidence of the lie is hilarious. Johnathan Swift was a nasty man who wrote nasty satires. "A Modest Proposal" eventually suggested the Irish eat their babies to ameliorate the famine. He was the Dean of Saint Patrick's Cathedral and a Doctor of Divinity. In the last book of Gulliver's Travels he describes a land where the civilized and gracious creatures are shaped like horses – created in the image of beasts. Those who look human – created in the image of God – are dumb, ungracious, stupid animals. It is said that Swift would not write down the name of these brutes. He had his publisher bring three workmen to him. Johnathan Swift pronounced the name – or The Name – and the workmen decided how to spell it. Thus did 'Yahoo' enter the English language. Now, do you use or avoid that search engine?
So what about the Jews? Well there was a notable Zionist named Nathan Mileikowsky who when he moved to Israel decided he needed a more Hebrew name. Nathan is from Nathaniel and means 'gift of God.' Many Hebrew names end in -iah or -iel for god or the lord as circumlocutions to avoid the tetragrammaton. Nathan changed his family name to Nathaniel, except: Modern Europeans can't pronounce theta so he used a 'T'. And instead of -iel he actually used the name of God. He did leave off the final 'H'. I wonder if that was an act of hubris or devotion. It seems rather arrogant for a religious man. Regardless his grandson is Benjamin Netanyahu .
If every group knows the secret, why do they keep it? Is it just for the educated?
The Arabic for Jew is Yahudi. The people of Yahuh. I am led to an uncomfortable inference. I was raised to have a great deal of respect for Jews and Moslems. Whatever our differences we worship the same god. However…. The Arabs knew the name of the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses. And Islam rejects it. Am I to infer that we do not worship the same god? I find I am a bit disturbed by where logic takes me.

April 03, 2017|11:42 a.m.| ASTHO Staff
While it is impossible to predict when a public health crisis may occur, the ability of state and territorial health departments to secure the nation's health against a variety of threats relies on a capable and equipped public health workforce. ASTHO plays a pivotal role in ensuring that state and territorial health departments can prepare for and respond to all hazards, including chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats; natural disasters; and infectious disease outbreaks.
ASTHO's health security team specializes in preparedness, environmental health, and infectious disease prevention, and its core mission is to help health officials build capacity and develop the necessary capabilities to deliver essential public health services during an emergency. Over the last decade, ASTHO has figured prominently in emergency response operations across the country, taking steps to aggressively mobilize and support its members by linking them with federal partners like CDC, the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, and other national associations, including ASTHO's 21 affiliates, the National Emergency Management Association, and the National Governors Association's Homeland Security Advisors Council to tackle complicated planning, response, and recovery issues.
ASTHO's health security team aptly characterizes its successes across three main areas: (1) helping strengthen the capabilities of state and territorial jurisdictions to prevent and mitigate the consequences of public health threats, (2) building enduring relationships and touchpoints with diverse partners, and (3) forging new multisector collaborations to organize and implement effective preparedness and response activities.
Learning from past incidents is paramount to improving preparedness and response coordination for future events. Homeland security and public health officials, for example, learned during 9/11 and the anthrax attacks in 2001 that state and local health departments lacked the operational readiness and capacity necessary for an effective emergency response.
Since then, major investments in health security have provided critical support to our governmental public health system's preparedness infrastructure to more rapidly detect, respond to, and prevent public health threats. Congress enacted legislation and appropriated funds for public health to develop and test response plans, deliver timely life-saving medical countermeasures to affected communities, and formalize relationships with emergency medical services, homeland security, healthcare systems, and other partners to help communities prepare for potential threats.
Then, in 2009, the H1N1 influenza pandemic provided the ultimate test of our nation's preparedness capabilities and, specifically, whether public health departments had the requisite assets to "surge up" and meet the crisis demands of a large-scale public health emergency with immense health consequences. During this time, ASTHO stood up an emergency operations center and detailed preparedness staff to CDC's Emergency Operations Center in Atlanta to serve as liaison officers. ASTHO, NACCHO, and CDC moderated daily conference calls with state and local public health leadership to maintain real-time situational awareness. ASTHO also facilitated regional calls, shared best practices, and provided a critical interface between state and territorial response partners and federal planning and coordination agencies.
ASTHO's organizational approach to the H1N1 pandemic was a turning point and, in many ways, the beginning of a culture shift that laid the foundation for working effectively in a crisis environment. ASTHO has used a similar model to enhance situational awareness, technical assistance, and communication during other events, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the Ebola outbreak, and—most recently—the spread of Zika virus. Zika is a prime example of how the health security team mobilizes as one unit, then engages many other programs within ASTHO to form a more coordinated response. Zika and other emerging infectious diseases constitute serious threats to public health, requiring an integrated approach involving programs such as maternal and child health, environmental health, infectious disease, and public health law.
Just as state and territorial health departments must establish, maintain, and enhance collaborations with emergency management, homeland security, and other relevant partners, ASTHO has also recognized the value of cultivating meaningful partnerships to better position public health leaders at all levels to respond to rapidly evolving incidents and outbreaks.
ASTHO's relationship with the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Health Affairs, for example, has been instrumental in promoting the inclusion of public health in the nation's fusion centers which bring together the perspectives of law enforcement, criminal intelligence, emergency services, and public health to analyze and share important information, providing a common language and picture across agencies for those involved in emergency response activities and other issues. Other recent public health incidents where ASTHO and its homeland security partners maintain strong working relations include unaccompanied minors crossing the southwest border and acts of violent extremism.
Formalizing an important new partnership, ASTHO, the Environmental Council of States, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this past year signed a memorandum of agreement, recognizing the critical nexus between the environment and public health, and the shared mission and responsibility to work more closely together to achieve the common goal of public health protection. ASTHO will take deliberate steps to work with the leaders of national and state environmental agencies to hone our understanding of how health and the environment are intertwined and point to solutions that will improve environmental public health conditions. Ensuring quality drinking water and mitigating the effects of extreme weather on health and safety are two areas ripe for continued collaboration.
ASTHO's spirit of and influence in collaboration is evident in other areas, such as radiation and nuclear readiness, and healthcare associated infections/antimicrobial resistance. ASTHO leads the National Alliance for Radiation Readiness (NARR), a coalition of public health, healthcare, and emergency management organizations that works to elevate awareness of the roles, responsibilities, knowledge, and skills of public health agencies in the event of a radiological emergency. ASTHO and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) co-lead the Council for Outbreak Response: Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antibiotic-Resistant Pathogens. The council was created, in part, based on lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak and the recognition that infection prevention and control measures in healthcare settings must be improved. ASTHO is one of several organizations involved in this nascent collaboration to better prevent infections and respond to emerging threats across healthcare settings and communities.
The public health system doesn't take on just one threat at a time. When an emergency occurs, state and territorial health departments ramp up their day-to-day operations, often for prolonged periods of time, while doing their very best to ensure that other core functions are not disrupted, including conducting restaurant inspections, regulating healthcare facilities, offering cancer screenings, testing newborns to identify congenital disorders, providing immunizations, safeguarding our water supply, and many other services.
All public health emergencies pose unique challenges and expose different vulnerabilities in our states and communities. State and territorial health departments take a lead role to prepare their jurisdictions and mobilize once the "storm"—figuratively and often literally—hits. ASTHO, in its role, serves as a collective, unified voice and trusted partner to ensure that investments in the core public health system equip states and territories with the capacity and capabilities needed to prevent and respond to emerging threats, catastrophic events, and daily emergencies.

Vantastic, it's a concept van toy designed to express an idea for multifunctional transportation. It's just a simple project over a few weekends, and it turned out pretty good. It's an exercise to take a classic recognizable car and re-imagine what it would look like if seen through a different design lens. That sleek black color with red accent may not be suitable for a family van, but Scott Schenone also designed another version, the mystery machine van that features cool and cheerful color.

We are pleased to announce that the 2018 Diaconate Boot Camp was a success! Here's a write up from the Eastern American Diocesan website on our event.
From Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 6th of May, the first annual Diaconate Boot Camp was held at St. Nicholas Church in Asheville Fletcher, NC. The event is the part of the Liturgical Arts School project blessed by Metropolitan Hilarion for the purpose of providing intensive courses with hands on training for the minor and major orders, as well as iconography and choir studies.
Eighteen registrants traveled from each of the three American ROCOR dioceses to study the art of the diaconate with instructors Archpriest Andre Papkov (director of the Jordanville Summer School of Music, and senior priest of Chicago's Holy Virgin Protection Cathedral) and Protodeacon Vadim Gan (cleric of the Synodal Cathedral of the Sign in New York City). On the final two days, Eastern American Diocesan vicar Bishop Nicholas of Manhattan led the instruction of the hierarchical Liturgy, along with Fr. Vadim. The course was not limited only to deacons, as more than half of the registrants were subdeacons and readers, as well as two laymen. In all, everybody got a chance to observe the inner workings of the diaconate though the classes, participate in many open discussions, and serve the hierarchical Vigil and Liturgy.
Lunch and dinner were provided by Matushka Kira Webb, along with other parish volunteers. Local wine and craft beer, created by the St. Nicholas parishioners who are professionals in those industries, was also featured. Andrey Medvedev, owner of Russian Chapel Hills Winery, presented four of his latest the latest red and white varietals, including the latest vintage of the Kagor chalice wine. Sierra Nevada Brewery, represented by parishioner Ricky Martinez, a chemist for the brewery, showcased two brand new craft beers.
The conference opened on Wednesday evening, May 2, with Vespers served by the registrants and an opening talk on the purpose of the Liturgical Arts School by parish rector Priest Steven Webb.
On Thursday morning, May 3, after an introduction by each registrant, Fr. Andre Papkov presented a talk on the diaconate, which included the origin and development of the order, as well as its evolving function in the community of the faithful and the liturgical services.
+ + +
After lunch, Frs. Andre and Vadim began the Censing 101 class, where they discussed proper censing and basic rubrics. The second half of the class featured an examination and critique of the censing style of each of the deacons.
The late afternoon class, "Journey Through the Liturgy 01," was taught by Fr. Vadim. This three-part class examined in detail the rubrics in each section of the Liturgy.
In the evening, a discussion during dinner addressed the topics of the day.
On Friday morning, May 4, after the Pascal troparion, Fr. Andre gave a talk on "Altar Instinct" and how it isnaturally developed from an early age on the one hand, and how it can be developed at an older age on the other. As an example, Fr. Andre played a clip of children pretending to serve as a deacon and a bishop, noting the natural inclination these five- and seven-year-olds had towards censing, etc.
The second morning session was the "Journey through the Liturgy 02," where Fr. Vadim continued an examination of the rubrics, now moving into the Altar for a hands-on tutorial for the Great Entrance.
Directly after the talk, Fr. Andre explained the physical actions of breathing and proper techniques for maximum efficiency and control for the breath, throat, and jaw. He also taught the vocal exercises to hone their skills in singing, reading and intoning the litanies. Each student got a chance to have their performance critiqued with suggestions on improving their vocals by the senior clergy.
After lunch, Fr. Andre gave a talk on the origins of the deep vocal style that has become prevalent in the Russian Orthodox Church. He played pre-revolutionary audio of Russian deacons, including recordings from 1914 of Archdeacon Konstantine Rozov, of whom he said, "Fr. Konstantine is to the diaconate hall of fame what Babe Ruth is to the baseball hall of fame."
The last class of the afternoon concluded with Frs. Andre and Vadim discussing the proper action and syncopation of two deacons preforming the great censing. The students paired up to demonstrate what they had learned, while Frs. Andre and Vadim offered critiques in style and method.
After the morning prayer on Saturday, May 5, Bishop Nicholas, Frs. Andre and Vadim gave a talk on the role of the deacon in the Liturgy, paying special attention to the relationship between the bishop, priest, and deacon in both dialogue and rubrics. During the talk, students had a chance to get answers to their liturgical questions.
+ + +
At the late morning session, Matushka Kira Webb gave a short talk on what a choir director needs from a deacon before the service, as well as successful strategies for communicating during the service.
The final talk of the morning was the "Journey through the Liturgy 03," by Frs. Andre and Vadim, completing the step-by-step examination of the rubrics of the Divine Liturgy. A special emphasis, using video slides, was a collection of images showing what not to do during theservice. Liturgical æsthetics was also discussed.
After Lunch, Frs. Andre and Vadim continued with individual vocal critiques for each student concerning the reading of the Gospel for deacons and reading of the Epistle for subdeacons and readers.
The final study of the Diaconate Boot Camp finished with Bishop Nicholas and Fr. Vadim working with the students on the rubrics of the hierarchical service.
After Dinner, the hierarchal Vigil was served by Bishop Nicholas, Fr. Andre, Fr. Steven, and Fr. Vadim, along with the deacons, subdeacons, and readers attending the conference.
On Sunday, May 6, the 2018 Diaconate Boot Camp concluded Sunday morning with the Hierarchal Liturgy, celebrated by Bishop Nicholas, Fr. Andre, Archpriest Alexander Logunov (rector of Reigning Mother of God Church in Charlotte, NC), Fr. Steven, and Fr. Vadim. Also serving were the deacons registered at the conference: Symeon Noon (St. Seraphim ofSarov Church in Monterey, CA), Procopius Naaskoof (Sts. Sergius & Herman of Valaam in Keweenaw, MI), Thomas Sprunger (St. Paisius Velichkovsky Mission in Ft. Wayne, IN), Ephraim Galloway (St.Basil the Great Church in St. Louis, MO), Ivan Makarov (Reigning Mother of God Church in Charlotte), Nicholas Ilyin (Holy Dormition Convent "Novo-Diveevo" in Nanuet, NY), and Gregory Finton (St. Innocent of Moscow Church in Carol Spring, IL).
During the reading of the Hours, Reader Abraham Cluxton of St. Nicholas Church was elevated to the rank of subdeacon.

Beatrice, that bowling ball is as big as you! We had a great time playing at The Clubhouse at Gracie's 7th birthday. Our toddler fashionista dressed herself and swore off the provided shoes at the center. "Mama, I am NOT wearing those," she informed us. As you can see, she changed her mind upon realizing that it is a requirement to bowl. The little bowling shoes were so tiny and cute.
Whitaker had a great time, too. Depite my best attempt, the delay on my camera phone prevented any shots of speedy Whitaker.�
Beatrice used her tickets to buy Whitaker a one inch bouncy ball, a ring that we lost at The Clubhouse, and a plastic bracelet that broke. It must be fun to shop because we spent the longest time deciding exactly what to purchase.
All in all it was a great party and a great birthday celebration for sweet Gracie at The Clubhouse!
i�regret these aren't the best focused pictures. i�quickly took them with my phone. last week beatrice's�dance school performed a charity recital, Faith in Motion. this is her second year going to class, but the first performance i�have seen because i�have always been back stage. it was breathtaking. i, very honestly, was amazed at how good the girls were, especially the older ones. and, b's class was absolutely adorable. they were soooo�cute. brian and i were so proud of our little dancer!
we usually take beatrice somewhere to celebrate post performance, like Chops or Christopher's for desert. but, tonight we had sweet Whitaker. so, El Som for dinner it was! Tana and Whitaker snuggled on one side of the booth, while Papa, Beatrice and I sat on the other side. it was a great night. :)
�mixed up a bunch of ingredients like�this
Beatrice could hardly contain her excitement. "Mama, what kind of party do you think Papa is going to have? Are all his Fah-Wends coming," she curiously asked. She suspects he is having a "spider man" or a "prinnn�cesss" one.
She loved every minute. Including recipe hunting, grocery shopping, , baking, cooling, icing it took all day. It was GREAT …even when the red food dye spilled on my shorts and all over the counter *sigh* *smile*.
Whitaker was not interested in baking. He was, however, very interested in entertaining us with the sounds and races of his�trucks, motocycles and cars.
Nothing glamorous. Made with a whole lot of time and love, though.
I hope Brian isn't offended that we made him a red velvet cake for his birthday.
Happy birthday, Red. We love you to the MOON!
I love "Tana's Blessing" by Kim Dixon. She took it while we were imprisoned from an outdoor-downpour inside the�tiny Firefly Cafe.
It was so nice to sit and talk after celebrating Amanda's Birthday. Amanda and Kim, the photography buffs, practiced a short range shots including this one. They are both so talented. I wish I could take pictures like they do.
The kids call my�Mom, Tana. And, Whitaker is her little blessing.
Nice work, Kim.
And then, they said "You can go home!"
So, we wheeled him down as�chop-chop, super-sonic, presto, pronto and snappity-snap�as two exhausted, delighted, hearty, parents could. This was after the successful completion of the Premature Infant CPR Class, the Car Seat Challenge, and a baby bathing class among other criteria.
Baby Whitaker slept the entire ride through the hospital.
Mama and Papa are so happy to board the car. We can't wait!
Papa whirled the car around to the front of Memorial.
Then he carefully strapped his mini-me in the special preemie seat.
Alas, we were headed back to the 'boro��with Papa in the front seat and Mama in the backseat beside the baby.�Whitaker and his�parents were�happy to�be one step closer to assembling�their little �family.

Not In Kansas Any More
I say that I am not in Kansas anymore every time I am blessed with a new uptown experience. I always loved the Wizard of Oz, even though at an early age I was sort or scared to watch it without covering my eyes. I covered my eyes the same way I do now when I watch a really scary movie. The Wizard of Oz was not a bit scary, except for that wicked witch. I used to be and still am a little bit afraid of my own Shadow. I am not afraid of the dark as much. My vacation this year gave new meaning to Dorthy is not in Kansas anymore. I really was totally tickled to be there. I appreciate so deeply the opportunities that have came my way since I have met My. I have done things that many people never will be blessed to experience. Maybe I really didn't smile and laugh more than any of the bunch with us, but I think I did. I know I said many times this is so cool or this is awsome. Love it, I really loved the whole adventure. I am like a huge sponge that wants to soak it all up. We never know what life has in store for us and seizing the moment is something that everyone really needs to do. I also am reminded of the when in Rome saying. This is something I always remind myself to do. In the Bahamas Conk is one of the main foods eaten by the native people there. I like Bubba Gump talked of shrimp had, fried conk, conk fritters, conk salad, conk chowder, conk and conk and conk. Klick beer is the beer of the Bahamas, so I had a couple of those; Well maybe a few of those is more the truth. To get to my gratitude of this experience I always want to remember that I am much more blessed that I once was. OMG my feet were so scrubbed in that spa. I mean really. I have walked those sewing factories till there was nothing but one solid buneon on my feet. These feet are not even my same feet, really. This experience is coming from someone who not so long ago had to put groceries back in the store, because of a previous bad check that was written to feed my girls and I. The times that I came home from work to find the electric people ready to cut off my power where not so many years ago either. I have really so much to be thankful for. I still say a thank you prayer to God each night for giving me someone that makes a great effort to make my life easier than it used to be. Gratitude the one thing that most of us really need to make part of our being.

turn back on
This idiom " turn back on somebody" can be the beginning of this post as today we are remembering what we cannot forget about our past history: it is part of Europe''s past but it is also the history of the XX century. When we think about what happened in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s we cannot but not say that it was the worst event in the history of human beings. Two World Wars marked the century but the atrocities which happened in the concentration camps like Buchenwald and Auschwitz cannot be explained and we feel that we cannot understand why it occured.
Auschwitz is still there, open to visitors to remind them that we must not forget the ones who lost their life because of the cruelty of nazism and racism. 27th January 1945 marks the beginning of the destruction of a regime but many more atrocities have happened since then and more are happening now. We do need to open our eyes and NEVER FORGET. It happened and it can happen again. Europe saw the deaths of innocents, people who were not supporting Hitler and the millions of Jews who thought they might escape or thought that the man next door would not tell the police that you were not German.
This week we took our students to the cinema and we saw the film " Alone in Berlin" based on the book by Hans Fallada. Our school - like many in Italy - is invited to do some activities about the day on which we are reminded of Auschwitz.We decided to see this film- all our classes went to the cinema.
The film was released last year and it presented the story of two German people who decided to fight against the Nazis regime in Germany after their son had died at war.
The man and the woman started writing postcards where they invited people to be against the dictator and after successfully sending 200 postcards they were arrested.
The story narrated by Fallada was based on the true story of Otto and Elise Hampel who were put in prison and later beheaded. Their messages to the German people were simple: don't cooperate with the regime , you must not support the Nazis.
After many years we must continue this battle: those who died need to be remembered. We can say that we do need to see films that remind us that this happened in Germany, in the heart of Europe.
The trailer of the film can be used in class for presenting the issue and work with the students to discuss the Holocaust . It is important to see that Germany was under a dictator but that there were also people who became aware of the oddity of the regime.
On the Internet we can find a lot of information and materials for discussion about the importance of learning from the past. A good film or a good book can really make a difference.
A simple tool like Instagrok or documents online will help us develop our students' critical thinking skills.
Language Teachers can work with Teachers of History to get into the history of the 1930s and 1940s and they will develop tasks which are meaningful and useful for their learners.
Not only English, but also more content to remember the Past.

It was a fairly easy decision on how to spend it as I had spied these baby shoes on her blog recently and they seemed the perfect choice for my new nephew. I'm going to get my cool aunty badge after this *shines halo*.
They are lined in flannelette with corduroy soles, so should be quite soft and snuggly on his little feet. Isn't the fabric just so sweet? Sarah has an extensive range of baby shoes with a mixture of new and vintage prints; these are among my favourites for a little guy.
Did you notice the packaging? Here's a better view:
Too cute.
Sarah makes some really gorgeous, high quality garments for babies and young children, and if you are into the vintage vibe, you won't be disappointed. I've been an admirer of MissMollyCoddle's beautiful coats made from upcycled woollen blankets for a little while, and I love the embroidered linen details in some of her other items.
|Photo from MissMollycoddle
Here are a couple more of my favourites:
Are you blinded by the sheer beauty of everything? Not yet? To see more MissMollyCoddle goodness, Sarah sells her items through her Felt shop and on Trademe, or if you are in Wellington, Made.it are now proud stockists of her baby shoes so you can view them up close in their store.
Sarah profiles other creative talent in a new weekly series on her blog. "A Cuppa With" is one of my favourite reads at the moment so pop on over and have a read for yourself.

I have showcased a couple of small businesses now; in case anyone was wondering, this is just something that I chose to do. None of the businesses have approached me or paid me to write about them and I will only ever profile the things that I personally love and would be proud for my children to wear or to have in my home.

Tee Drums recording snare drum
finsihed in a vertical grain Santos Rosewood
The shell is constructed with a vertical grain Birch core with African Mahogany inner and outer plys for a richer, warmer sound.
To add to the warmth, I have fitted Maple wood hoops to enhance the woody sound from the shell and to reduce overtones.
I have fitted an Evans G2 coated batter head (again for a dryer and more controlled sound).
Please check out our demo video of this snare drum by clicking this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJoiqNfgBi8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Companion papers or papers in a series (part 1, part 2, etc) should be submitted together. Papers with continued chapters or parts will not be accepted until all parts have been submitted. Use 12-point type for all text (including tables). All sections of the manuscript must be double spaced, including references. Each section should start on a new page in the following order: title page, body, references, footnotes, figure legends, and tables. All pages should be numbered, starting with the title page. The author will be notified through e-mail if the manuscript is accepted.
Instructions to Authors
The purpose of these instructions is to ensure consistent quality and style of scientific papers published in the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery. Our goal is to be considered the primary publisher of scientific studies in the field of avian medicine and surgery.
The Journal accepts original scientific articles, clinical reports, and review articles. Areas of interest include clinical medicine, surgery, anatomy, radiology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, parasitology, microbiology, immunology, pathology (including infectious diseases and clinical pathology), toxicology, pharmacology, and epidemiology. Editorial policies are established by the Editorial Committee under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Association of Avian Veterinarians. The Journal is published quarterly and is peer reviewed.
For consideration for publication in the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, all research studies involving animals must have been performed in compliance with guidelines outlined in the Animal Welfare Act (USDA Web site), US Public Health Service Policy on the Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Web site), NRC Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (National Academies Press Web site), or Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching (Federation of Animal Science Societies Web site) or with equivalent guidelines. Although these documents may not be addressing ''birds'' directly, all manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery must meet the ''intent'' of these guidelines. Methods of euthanasia must comply with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. When possible, approval of the research by an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is encouraged. In addition, a manuscript containing information that suggests that animals were subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatments will not be considered for publication unless the authors demonstrate convincingly that the knowledge gained was of sufficient value to justify these conditions or treatments.
Editorial Policy and Submission Requirements
The Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery will not accept manuscripts that have been previously published in a refereed journal or conference proceedings. Use of data in an oral or poster presentation or an in-house report or publication as an abstract will not preclude the publication of data in the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery.
The research reported in a paper must be testable and repeatable by other scientists who are knowledgeable in the field. Additionally, there must be due reference to previous work upon which the research depends.
Review Process
The suitability of each paper for publication is decided by the Scientific Editor and a panel of 2 or more reviewers selected by the Scientific Editor on the basis of their demonstrated expertise within a given field. All invited papers will be subjected to the same review policies and procedures as contributed papers. Reviewers recommend acceptance, rejection, or acceptance after revision (conditional acceptance).
The Scientific Editor has the option of returning a paper to the author before it is reviewed if it is deemed necessary (ie, if there are major deficits in writing, form, or organization that need to be addressed prior to review). Papers returned to the author for this reason will be considered withdrawn and should be resubmitted as a new paper. Papers receiving a favorable review are returned to the author for incorporation of revisions suggested by the reviewers. The author will have 4 weeks to return the revised paper or to notify the Managing Editor of the disposition of the paper. Failure to return the revised manuscript or to notify the Managing Editor within 4 weeks may be interpreted as withdrawal of the paper and it may be taken off the publishing schedule.
Questions from the author relating to reviewers' comments may be directed to the Scientific Editor. The Scientific Editor has the authority to reject a paper if revisions deemed important by the reviewers are not made. The Scientific Editor has the option of selecting reviewers if disagreements arise on any salient points. The revised paper will be copyedited to ensure that grammar, usage, and spelling are correct and that all matters of style (eg, terminology, abbreviations, dosages) are consistent and conform with the established style of the Journal. Authors are responsible for all information published, including changes made by the copy editor.
Publishing Schedule
Every effort will be made to publish papers promptly. The interval between receipt of a manuscript and date of publication depends directly on the time required for review and revision. Authors will receive PDF galley proofs of the article shortly before publication. Authors are expected to check proofs word for word and number for number against the final version of the manuscript.
Only errors should be changed; further editing is not acceptable unless it is to incorporate recently updated data. Corrected proofs must be returned within 4 business days. Authors will be requested to provide a statement that all references have been checked for accuracy and that all drugs, dosages, tables, and figures have been checked and are deemed correct.
Authors will be requested to sign a release of copyright to the Association of Avian Veterinarians. The Association of Avian Veterinarians will own rights to the entire contents of manuscripts, including photographs. Researchers who want to reproduce information that has been published in the Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery must request and obtain written permission from the Association of Avian Veterinarians.
The Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery uses EzReprint, a user-friendly, automated online system for purchasing article reprints. Prior to publication of the issue, authors will receive an e-mail with a unique URL (SmartLink) and information about the reprint order process. Clicking on the SmartLink will take authors directly to a web portal where they may place reprint orders. The e-mail will be sent from firstname.lastname@example.com. Reprint orders no longer have to be received in advance. If questions arise, authors should contact firstname.lastname@example.com directly. Authors or their institutions are required to bear the cost of reprints, but no page charges will be levied for publication in the Journal.

What's The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Like To Drive On Track?: Video0
Sponsored Links
Alfa Romeo unleashed the press on its new Giulia sedan last week and received mixed results. While many of the reviews were positive of the new four-door's performance, some were critical of the quality of some of the cars in attendance at the launch.
Almost all of the reviews laid praise upon the high-performance Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde, however, including Britain's EVO. After driving the car on track, EVO concluded that the Giulia QV's performance was "encouraging,", with good steering input and strong power delivery from the Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
Check out EVO's review in the video above. It doesn't include an on-road review of the Giulia QV, so we'll have to stand-by for those driving impressions, but it does give you a pretty good idea of how Alfa's latest offering will stack up against the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG when it hits showrooms later this year.

The Apple iPad gives physicians a new way to connect to courses, news and other educational content. But surveys disagree on whether medicine will adapt the tablet device.
Epocrates found that the iPad is receiving a warm reception from healthcare: nearly 20% of clinicians expressed plans to purchase one in a 350-person survey conducted by the mobile software firm.
The company said it is designing its medical-reference software to capitalize on iPad's large, touch-sensitive screen. At press time, a spokesperson was checking on plans for CME availability. Doctors, apparently, are also very excited. Nine percent said they planned to buy the iPad immediately, another 13% planned to buy it within the year, and 38% wanted more information.
But website Software Advice, fielding a survey of 175 people, about half of whom function in clinical roles, found that a third want a tablet, just not necessarily an iPad.
Apple's gadget only has a few of the top "must-have" features for healthcare use, as identified by respondents: Wi-Fi access, lightweight hardware and an ergonomic design. iPad "lacks a large number of features that healthcare professionals deemed important," Software Advice concluded.
One group that has launched a mobile application for the iPad platform is the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), a group which educates clinicians on the latest findings in complementary, alternative and integrative medicine. Healthcare professionals can use the app to register for courses designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. "Our app allows us to communicate with our constituents in an exciting and dynamic environment," Drew McGray, VP of marketing for ACAM, said in a statement.
The conflicting findings, though, suggest that the iPad may not be an instant success in healthcare, or in CME.

when life gives you eggs, part II: pickle them pink
Age is something that I feel most in my taste buds. Having a husband, a student loan, a job and a decent number of wool blankets and sweaters with elbow patches should all be signs that I'm an adult, a real adult. However, none of this makes me feel particularly adult. My love for anchovies, capers, Cynar, schmaltz, rye bread and pickled eggs, on the other hand, make me absolutely feel like a real adult.
My first experience with pickled eggs was in Glasgow. As part of a ploughman's lunch at a sweet cafe where maps were used as tablecloths, I enthusiastically ate my cheddar and chutney, drank my ginger beer, and gave the pickled eggs on my plate some suspicious glances. I didn't trust them. Eggs should be freshly cooked and not preserved, or? Well, I learned my lesson right there and then and ever since I've been a fan.
When a recent project at work resulted in dozens and dozens of organic, Bavarian eggs, I started listing the way that I could fry, boil, scrambled and, most importantly, preserve them so that no egg would go to waste.
After a couple rounds of Spanish tortilla, many eggs for breakfast, a plate of deviled eggs and a rhubarb-polenta cake, I took the classic preserving route by pickling the eggs that were left.
Normally I keep the eggs simple and white, just apple cider vinegar, water and some spices to add some brightness and flavour. Because of all of the tones of red at the markets these days, from ruby strawberries to blush rhubarb, I decided to add some colour in the form of beets. Flavour wise these eggs still taste pretty classic, but colour wise it is hard not to squeal just a bit when cutting an egg in half to see it blush with pink.
Pickled Eggs & Beets
yields 6 pickled eggs (in two 500g jars)
6 organic eggs
1 large beet (mine was a giant), or 2 small
1 tbsp peppercorns (I used black and red)
1 tsp coarse sea salt
4 cloves
1/4 cup unrefined brown sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water, reserved from cooking the beet(s).
Give the beet(s) a good scrub with a vegetable brush. Place the beet(s) in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Cook at a simmer until the beet is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove the beet with a slotted spoon (you want to save the water) and set it aside to cool (or place it in a cold water bath). Once cool, peel and cut it into chunks.
While the beets are cooking, place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. The water should cover them by an inch or two. Place the pot on high heat and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the pot and place them under the tap with cold water running to cool. Once cool, peel them and divide them between two jars (or one large jar).
In a jug, pot or bowl (something that you can easily pour from) mix together the sea salt, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and beet water. Give it a very good stir, until the sugar dissolves.
Divide the chunks of beets, peppercorns and cloves between the two jars. Pour in the brine and give it a gentle stir. Place jars in the fridge and let them sit for at least a day before eating. The longer they hang out in the fridge, the more pickled they'll taste. The eggs keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.

This week, two SEC officials took to the pulpit at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Conference in Washington, DC – both discussing the mis-use of Non-GAAP reporting.
Michael Maloney, chief accountant of the SEC's enforcement division is looking into violations of rules governing non-GAAP metrics. "It is a focus in within the division, we are looking closely at it. If we think there's enough there to open an investigation, we will. It's going to be the fact and circumstances that we will look at, and that will lead to the enforcement action."
Maloney's talk was a clear warning to issuers that use non-GAAP metrics in their financial reporting will come under greater scrutiny. The SEC offered new compliance guidelines back in May.
Another chief accountant, Wesley R. Bricker, was less Draconian is his presentation to audit committee members – identifying them as the "critical gatekeepers" to certify credible, reliable financial reporting and compliance with the C&DIs. He reminded the audience that board members sitting on the audit committees should not underestimate the importance of their role overseeing the external auditor as these third-party auditors are 100% accountable to the audit committee…not to management.
Bricker also suggested auditors are critical for shareholder protection and asked board members to use these fours questions as a directional "do-the-right-thing" guide:
- If you as the auditor were in management's shoes and solely responsible for preparation of the company's financial statements, would they have in any way been prepared differently?
- If you as the auditor were in an investor's shoes, would you believe that you have received the information essential to understanding the company's financial position and performance?
- If the company following the same internal control over financial reporting and internal audit procedures that would be followed if you were in the CEO's shoes?
- Are there any recommendations that you as the auditor have made and management has not followed?
Lastly, he emphasized that good reporting practices place a premium on audit committee member understanding of the company's non-GAAP policies, procedures, and controls and that audit committee members should seek to understand management's judgments in the design, preparation and presentation of non-GAAP measures and how those measures might differ from approaches followed by other companies.
This comparison is another area where investor relations can bring their sector expertise into the boardroom – as we discussed earlier this week here.

The Hall Sisters
The Hall Sisters have established themselves as one of the up-and-coming and premier acts in the country pop genre. While releasing multiple CD's over the last few years and writing new material, the ensemble has also maintained a robust tour schedule having performed at notable venues such as The Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall with the Annie Moses Band, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the National Quartet Convention. The sound of Hall Sisters has been best described as a combination of the earthy vibe of Lady Antebellum and soulful harmony of the Carpenters blended with the energy of country pop.
The word synergy best describes the quartet in that the combined output of their talents and musicality is greater than the sum of each individual part. A vocal/instrumental foursome of talented siblings, the Hall Sisters marry stunning harmonies along with a brilliance and excellence on their instruments to create an entirely unique sound. Together Jessica (alto/piano/guitar/mandolin), Natalie (soprano/violin/mandolin), Lydia (alto/viola/guitar), and Valerie (soprano/cello) complete the collaborative of The Hall Sisters. The notes from songs such as Nature Boy, American Honey, Sound of Silence, and even James Taylor's Carolina in My Mind pop off of the page through these vivacious and naturally gifted musicians.
Since 2013, the Hall Sisters have released two Christmas EP's, one non-seasonal EP and in November of 2016, they completed their first full-length album titled "Smile" consisting of big-band music from the 1940s and 50's.
Over the last ten years of performing and recording, the Hall Sisters have gained a devoted following in their home state of North Carolina and have expanded into new venues nationally. They are currently working with their coaches in Nashville, TN creating and developing new music.

Spaceship design
I've made a page with some of my thoughts on Spaceship design.
I've made a page with some of my thoughts on Spaceship design.
Upplagd av Arne kl. Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Excellent! Thanks for writing this up.
What do you think about asymmetric designs? You haven't touched on that subject.
Millenium Falcon comes to mind, perhaps, which is pretty heavily asymmetric if you think about it. Shape wise its only one little protrusion, but since that's the cockpit, the ship would obscure a lot of the view for the pilot.
In your doodles there are no asymmetries either.
Some aircraft have stuff like an antenna on one side, but since a spaceship wouldn't have any air resistance to bother with, there could be even more of that. It looks a bit "counterintuitive" I think, but might also add a bit of oddness that makes it more memorable.
What are you thoughts on that?
I've added a blurb about asymmetry to the page, but I'm not sure if it's particularly insightful.
Interesting point about the mechs.
I guess, mechs that are supposed to be fast runners are often symmetrical. Heavy mechs can be more asymmetrical. At least I think so. It probably creates a feeling of something slow and lumbering because of how difficult it is to walk quickly when carrying something heavy on one side. Might be applyable to spaceships as well!
(As long as the source of propulsion is behind the center of mass, I guess? Otherwise it'd have trouble flying in a straight line :)
Very interesting. I will think about your ideas next time I design something for Traveller.
Great insight.
I like your comment about pikachu's tail. Details like that make designs look more genuine and organic. Instead of a ship with a gun, have a ship that is a gun. The lancer frigate isn't easily identifiable as an attack ship. Who who could mistake a tank for anything other than a weapon?

I think I'm going to have to stop numbering these because I'm confusing myself (admittedly that's not hard). This morning we have a threefer, and on top of the twofer from last night and then my stand alone post...we've been over how math makes me cry, right?
At any rate, this morning we have three posts in our SpReAd The Love Children's Book Challenge. Fan fiction writer and blogger FedoraLady talks about Little Women by Louisa May Alcott over at The Armitage Effect. Fan fiction writer, blogger and organizer of Facebook's Richard Armitage Friends Network Gratiana Lovelace writes about the fairy tale Cinderella as told by Charles Perrault as part of her Fun Day Sunday series at Something About Love (A). Finally, blogger and fellow charter member of the Richard Armitage Old Ladies Commune Zan remembers a love of books instilled by time spent with her grandfather and ultimately chooses The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain as her favorite book over at Well, There You Go.....
This challenge is the first Obscura and I threw out as part of SpReAd The Love. All you have to do is donate a children's book that meant something to you when you were a child to a school, library, literacy program, children's hospital, family crisis center, Ronald McDonald House (the list is truly endless, use your imagination) or to a young friend or family member. A few bloggers are posting about it and if you'd like to post we'd love to have you join us. If you don't have a blog of your own several bloggers -- FedoraLady, Perry, Prue Batten, Servetus, Snicker'sMom, Zan and of course Obscura and I -- have opened their blogs to hosting guest posts. The target date for posts is March 2, since that's Dr. Seuss's 110th birthday, but we're flexible and posts up to March 7 and maybe a little after will count. Each donation -- the book is one, the post is one and the blog hosting is one -- counts as a kindness in SpReAd The Love and each kindness counts as $1US out of the pocket of our anonymous co-conspirator for March and April up to $200US to be donated to charities supported by Richard Armitage via JustGiving. We maxed out our donor for January and February with a week to go and I'm sure we can do it again.
If you decide to join us for this event please email me at funkybluedelphinium at gmail dot com with the subject line DR SEUSS so that we can count your kindness. Other posts so far in this series include
Trudy Brasure, hosted by Gratiana Lovelace at Something About Love (A)

KatharineD, hosted by Perry at ArmitageAgonistes
Micra1, hosted by Perry at ArmitageAgonistes
Rosiepig, hosted by Servetus at Me+Richard Armitage
Obscura at Ancient Armitage

You don't have to write a post if you're too shy, donating a book or books is fine, too, but be sure to let us know so that we can count your contribution. Thanks to everyone who's supported this effort so far!

Lexington police, working with Transylvania University Police, made an arrest Friday in a robbery on campus earlier this week.
Ray Ray Shawntay Sharp-Warren, 33, is charged with first-degree robbery, Lexington police said Friday.
Sharp-Warren was arrested came a day after police were called to help campus police investigate the robbery at the accounting office inside the Old Morrison Building on West Third Street.
Witnesses told police that someone entered the office, handed the clerk a note demanding money and implied a weapon. After getting the cash, the robber left the building on foot. Transylvania released surveillance footage shortly after Thursday's robbery.

There are two separate worlds – here in Sicily. Those separate worlds however, live next to each other in parallel; the world of organised crime and the world of educated people from the higher class of society. The academic world, the world of intellectual elites and the middle class have nothing in common with the world that flows in front of them, still being visible.
The Mafia.
Yeah, that's the word, the key to understanding how Sicilian society is divided. You may be a student or a working official, but next door to you or on the square where you live, there is a family, whose father has an enormous "sense to do business", to increase money etc. His brother could be imprisoned with "a life sentence" in "Bicocca", the special prison for the mafia (there are always separate prisons for "normal" criminals and mafia criminals in Sicily). And you may know that the owner of the bar is from mafia, but you still buy a cup of coffee from him every morning.
A mafia killer can even assure the judges and even friends that he is not "a mafia guy" because he had never participated the "initiation ceremony" with a sign of blood and other things.
Yeah… The problem is, such ceremonies exist only in Hollywood movies, but in reality there are murders and robberies that "initiate" the career of a mafia soldier.
There is too, a long, grey unknown sphere between both these "Sicilies", where you can find all those people left by the state without any work, future, perspectives and hope. People who live from day to day, stealing, cheating or begging on the streets. Fathers with numerous hungry children waiting for bread at home, and angry wives calling them losers and cheating on them with neighbours. This is the world where the mafia still can recruit its desperate "hostages".
The Italian state had left them to their fate.

Idaho Babywearers is looking forward to celebrating International Babywearing Week with the rest of the babywearing community. We hope you will join us! We will be hosting two events during IBW.
We will be hosting a DIY Carrier Night on October 10th at the Rigby City Library from 7:00pm-9:00pm where we will be helping you make a carrier of your choice. Please see the below links for the types of carriers that you can make, as well as questions on types of fabric to buy for each carrier. Please also buy thread to match whatever fabric you buy and any other materials such a sling rings, etc. as we will not be providing any raw materials. The only rings that we endorse purchasing are from slingrings.com due to the guarantee of solid construction and safety. If you have your own sewing machine please bring it, along with any sewing tools you feel like you would need. Please note that while all of our other events are child friendly this particular event will only be friendly to children who will be worn/in a carseat the entire time or are not mobile due to the large number of sewing machines, cords, and sharp objects that will be lying around, (please use your discretion keeping in mind the nature of the event). The below links from sleepingbaby.net should answer most if not all of your questions and any other questions can be directed to our facebook page, Idaho Babywearers.
Our second event is a Babywearing Walk on the Greenbelt Saturday October 11th at 10am. We will be meeting at the North end of Memorial Drive in Idaho Falls there is a parking lot that we will be meeting next to, from there we will be walking South on Memorial (towards Key Bank) to the Farmer's Market and shopping/enjoying the morning together and passing out flyers for anyone interested in our group.
We hope you will be able to join us for one or both of these events! Any questions please direct them to one of our leaders or our facebook page.
Also a special note - Idaho Falls meetings for the months of November and December will conflict with Thanksgiving and Christmas, therefore we will be hosting one meeting for those months on December 12th at 10am.

My Top Tips For Lightening Up Your Recipes
Dec 14
I know it's the holiday season and we should absolutely indulge this time of year. But I always feel bad when the New Year comes and I've gained that pesky 5 pounds because of all that indulging. So I thought it would be helpful for all of us to talk about my top tips for […]
Never Trust a Skinny Chef
Jul 27
Never Trust a Skinny Chef. How many times have you heard this one? Well I think it's nonsense. I can't tell you how frequently guests jokingly say this to me and I always chuckle but in the back of my mind think the stereotype is extraordinarily ridiculous. Historically speaking, yes, there were a lot of […]

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I often talk about my health challenges and my continued desire to lose more weight. I'm not one to follow strict or unusual diets… or any diet for that matter. I prefer to make lifestyle changes that I'm able to maintain over the course of – at minimum – a few years. That's what I did to lose 10 pounds: I exercised fairly regularly, I counted calories and portions sizes and I reduced my fat intake.
Although that worked for me before for about three years, it doesn't seem to be working now. I recently came across a new blog Fast Weight Loss Diet – How To Lose Weight, Quick Weight Loss Tips, which supposedly provides advice and information about all things relating to weight loss and dieting. I, however, will need to see it developed a little more with factual references and links to determine its legitimacy.
Nowadays, we have to be really careful when someone is touting good weight loss diets because oftentimes when the word "diet" is used it's speaking of restrictions and sacrifices. When you're trying to lose weight wouldn't you prefer to eat almost everything you want in moderation and maintain a healthy lifestyle? I know I would. So, tell me, have you found any weight loss sites that you trust?

Okay, so I'd already seen, and felt indignation about, this: http://www.mediawatch.com/lorde.htmAnd interestingly (or predictably, depending, I've since discovered rather a bit more to be annoyed at Farley for. Ugh.
But then, apparently not having had enough of people's hatred of my sexuality:
Good heavens.
Good... heavens.
Ten lies about sadomasochism?
- What doesn't kill us does make us stronger. Think of all the brave feminists who've seen, and fought, and won. Are they not strong for being our warriors? For another take on this: many people of all kinds of genders like the feeling of ordeals. They like to set challenges for themselves, do something really difficult, and succeed at it -- whether that be a sport, a career goal, a ritual, or whatever else. This isn't about long-suffering women being socialized to endure what men throw at them. It's about choosing which demons to face, doing it, and feeling pride. Men do this quite a bit too.
- Destroying the self is one thing. Letting go of the self in a controlled manner is something else. Haven't you ever had moments in which you've freed yourself from your ego and felt peace? That's not death.
- First of all, though I would defend people's right to do this, the scene is not solely about people who do this kind of roleplay. Many sadomasochists are as offended by it as you are; I'm bothered by it myself. My guess as to why people do it is that it's not about history, but about the simple fact that the Nazis are the ultimate "bad guys" in our cultural consciousness. A top can use that symbol to project a villain-persona easily. Is that a wonderful thing to do? Maybe not, but that's most likely the reason for doing it.
- If consent were truly impossible, how could we account for the choices we make in our lives that aren't sex-related? Humans are choosers. While it's true that there's likely no such thing as perfectly free consent to anything at all, that doesn't make choosing freely any less a true part of our lives. Besides which, how can a feminist sexuality unfettered by patriarchal oppression ever come to exist if we've presupposed that women's consent isn't real? It's only if we believe that women can be choosers that we can have faith in the idea of a feminist sexuality's coming to be at all.
- You're underestimating people's capability to understand behavior appropriate to circumstances. I do not hit random people on the street because I take tae kwon do, which can and does involve things like kicking and hitting people (while they hold targets against their bodies). Nor do I hit random people because enjoy impact play as a sexual act. (Oh, and those "intimidating" women who stood around during your meeting? Maybe that's not intimidation; maybe it's a fun little thing called "nonviolent protest".)
- I think it may be the case that there are more female bottoms because of our social history. But this does not in any way mean that they cannot create rich, vibrant sexualities for themselves. (Keep in mind, also, that many people come into SM thinking they have a fixed role, but come to enjoy switching, whether occasionally or often.) I believe that some of our sexual patterns are fixed (how, I'm not sure) and that some are created by us. The fact of someone's being a bottom and being unable to change that about herself does not mean that she cannot have a rich sexuality, or have a feminist understanding about her place in the world. The fact that there are more bottom women than top women also could show not that women can only think of bottoming, but that our social history pressures female tops, keeping many from coming to accept themselves. Either way, it's the cultural norms that are bad, not the sadomasochists.
- I cannot speak to lesbian realities, as I am not a lesbian. But I do not think that heterosexuality or heterosexual activity precludes feminist understanding. My desire for men is not an unreflective desire that I simply adopted because of the culture; it is something I've thought about, wondered about, and acknowledged. Accepting heterosexuality because one is supposed to be straight is bad. Being straight (or bisexual) is something else entirely.
- I agree that this is a myth, because I think SM can be liberating for me, and I am not a lesbian. I think that discovering, exploring, and understanding our sexualities can be empowering for anyone of any orientation.
- This can easily go wrong, but sometimes staging a re-enactment of things that have traumatized us in environments where we know we are really safe can indeed help. After my surgeries, I was obsessed with certain aspects of the experience. I did a scene involving those aspects, and it helped me to put some of my fear and pain from that horrible time behind me. (I bottomed. I am a top. These roles, like I said, are not necessarily rigid.) It also allowed me to let go of the fixation I had on the horrible things that happened to me.
- If sadism comes from het male power and privilege, and I am a female sadist, does that not mean that I have subverted something? I think it's right to say that power in the bedroom won't necessarily equate to higher paychecks or less poverty among women. But claiming, fiercely and bravely, our right to or own sexuality, standing up and saying that we can and do consent and that our voices HAVE NOT BEEN silenced, seems like true power to me.
Ms. Farley, you told more than ten.

Looks like this was originally written in 1993. It strongly reminds me of the essays in Against Sadomasochism -- in its biting, self-righteous, "humorous" tone, not just in its content -- which was written ten years before that. And yet these same stale, hurtful, ignorant ideas keep getting dredged up and presented as if no response had ever been made to them, as if they were simply fact.

Wolfsburg keep up Europe hopes with away victory at Werder Bremen
Last Updated: 25/03/14 9:36pm
Wolfsburg kept up the challenge for the fourth Champions League spot after a comfortable 3-1 triumph at Werder Bremen.
Dieter Hecking's side jump into fifth to apply extra pressure to free-falling Bayer Leverkusen, with goals coming either side of the break through Junior Malanda, Ivan Perisic and Maximilian Arnold.
Werder's only reply came from Sebastian Prodl.
The Wolves wasted no time in forging a lead from their first opportunity in the opening 100 seconds as Malanda headed past Raphael Wolf with the aid of a deflection.
Bremen lacked inspiration early doors and were two behind before 10 minutes had been played following a super, crisp attack from Wolfsburg. Right-back Christian Trasch forced the issue, linking with Arnold, who laid off delicately for Croatian Perisic to slam into the net.
Credit has to be afforded to Robin Dutt's side for their reaction to the second goal because the margin was slashed within six minutes when Sebastian Prodl took advantage of indecisive goalkeeping from Diego Benaglio to score.
Benaglio, Wolfsburg's Swiss skipper, was on the verge of coming off with five minutes left in the first half due to a niggling injury problem.
After the restart, Wolfsburg started on the front-foot with Werder's Clemens Fritz blocking well to prevent Daniel Caligiuri from hitting the target.
Caligiuri is normally a reliable finisher from inside the penalty area, but he missed an almost open goal after the hour mark as he struggled to control his balance.
Wolfsburg then capped a fine evening's work through Arnold's well-struck left-foot shot which found the back of the net.

The drama surrounding Stavros Niarchos and Jessica Hart has only strengthened their relationship. Sources say the couple of nearly two years are planning to move in together and are looking for apartments downtown. The Greek shipping heir lives on the Upper East Side, while model Hart lives near the East Village. Niarchos and his pals were involved in a notorious dust- up with Adam Hock at lounge Double Seven in February. Hart's rep couldn't be reached.

Deal comes as AOL's parent company continues talks with Yahoo to ward off Microsoft bid.
Time Warner's AOL landed one of its biggest advertising deals since the division's restructuring as the sole representative of telephone company Verizon's online advertising inventory.
The timing of the announcement expected on Monday is ironic as Verizon sued Time Warner Cable last week accusing the majority-owned cable TV operator of false advertising related to Verizon's FiOS high-speed Internet and television service.
The agreement expected to be announced on Monday, an AOL executive said, comes amid Time Warner's ongoing talks to combine AOL with Yahoo to rival Microsoft's estimated $42 billion offer to buy Yahoo.
The Verizon deal is viewed as a coup for AOL's Platform-A advertising unit, as deal makers at Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL jostle to take a bigger stake in the business of selling display advertisements.
Platform A is the centerpiece of a restructuring of the once great Internet division responsible for generations of first time Internet surfers.
Reports of Time Warner's discussions to combine Yahoo and AOL values AOL, excluding its dial-up Internet access business at around $10 billion. That is a far cry from the zero value ascribed to AOL within Time Warner's current valuation, according to analyst estimates.
The Verizon ad deal, whose price was not disclosed, will give Platform A the right to represent all of Verizon's advertising space on the Internet, including premium space, the companies said.
"We're all about working with Web sites to serve whatever needs they have," Lynda Clarizio, president of Platform-A.
The deal also expands its relationship with Verizon Wireless. Platform-A will manage the sale of the majority of Verizon's Wireless Web advertising inventory.
